The Computational Linguistics Group at Oxford University consists of faculty members, researchers and students working on the scientific study of language from a computational perspective. We develop computational models of various linguistic phenomena, often with the aim of building practical natural language processing systems.

Our research interests span a broad range of topics in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. Recent focus areas include:

• compositional semantics using distributional models
• deep learning
• variational Bayesian inference
• nonparametric Bayesian modelling
• statistical machine translation and language modelling
