UT Austin NLP and 

Computational Linguistics

Our work in Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics at UT Austin spans many departments and schools. We build systems that produce and understand natural language, try to understand how those systems work, study what they can tell us about human language and cognition, and think about NLP's potential harms, benefits, and impacts on society. 

Check out what we're up to in the UT Austin Natural Language Learning Reading Group.
