The Research Group in Computational Linguistics

———————————————–

The Research Group in Computational Linguistics (http://rgcl.wlv.ac.uk) at the University of Wolverhampton was founded by Prof. Ruslan Mitkov in 1998 and is one of the leading research groups in computational linguistics in the UK. The group is well known for its high level research with strong international and inter-sector collaboration, and is renowned for its innovative NLP research and development of various NLP tools and resources. RGCL was the coordinator of the recently completed EXPERT project (http://expert-itn.eu) which trained young researchers to promote the research, development and use of hybrid language translation technologies. The reader and research fellow to be appointed are expected to continue the work in this direction.
