Chinese Computational Linguistics Research in the Jurafsky Lab

We are interested in many areas of Chinese language processing, including word segmentation, part of speech tagging, semantic role labeling, speech recognition, dialogue act recognition, and disfluency detection. Collaborators include Chris Manning and students Huihsin Tseng, Yuan Zhao, Pichuan Zhang, Yun-Hsuan Sung, and former postdoc Jiahong Yuan. Some recent papers:
