Robert Mikael Östling Docent

Researcher in Computational Linguistics

My research falls into a few broad categories. First, general applications in natural language processing (NLP), mostly with a multilingual perspective. Examples include part-of-speech tagging, machine translation and word alignment. In computational typology, I use these and other NLP tools to learn more about the overall structures of languages at a global scale. I also use NLP tools to automate psycholinguistic investigations.

I am the principal investigator for the Swedish Research Council funded project "Structured multilinguality for natural language processing", which aims to explore improved representations of highly multilingual NLP systems. A link to a separate webpage about the project will be published here in due time.
