The Centre for Language Technology at the Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, University of Copenhagen (UCPH) employs approximately 16 staff, including computational linguists, linguists, lexicographers, terminologists, computer scientists and engineers.
UCPH has a high level of expertise in many areas of language technology and particular expertise in computational lexical semantics. It has developed a large number of resources, tools and platforms over the years in collaboration with other partners such as The Danish WordNet, the SemDax Corpus, a Danish sense tagger, AndreOrd (a DanNet wordnet browser) and WordTies (amultilinguag wordnet broswer for Nordic, Baltic and Polish wordnets.
UCPH supports ELEXIS EU as a strong partner with computational linguistics data and expertise, working as intermediary between lexicographic and technology partners.
