There are a lot of research Centres, europeans and internationals, which tell us more things about the Human Languages Technologies and which are available on the Net. These are some of them:
- National Centre for Language Technology (NCLT): Language is the key modality in communication. The National Centre for Language Technology conducts research into the processing of human language by computers such as speech recognition and synthesis, machine translation, human-computer interfaces, information rhltcetrieval and extraction, the teaching and learning of languages using computers and software localization and globalization. Research in Human Language Technology (HLT) is interdisciplinary and includes Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computational Linguistics (CL). HLT has substantial economic implications and potential. The centre carries out basic research and develops applications. Director

r. Yafa Al-Raheb. - HKUST Human Language Technology Center: Is a multidisciplinary research center at the hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) whose mission is to lead state-of-the-art research directions that drive the development of new applications in both text and spoken language technology. HLTC is led by seven faculty members from de EE and the CS departments: Oscar Au, Roland Chin, Pascale Fung, Brian Mak, Bertram Shi, Manhung Siu and Dekai Wu, specializing in speech adn signal processing, stadistical and corpus-based natural language processing, machine translation, text mining, information extraction, Chinese Language processing, knowledge management, and related fields. Special emphasis is given to machine processing of Chinese language and Chinese information. Sistems built at HLCT include automated language translation for the Internet, speech-based web browsing, and speech recognition for the telephone.
- Language Technology Group: Language Technology (LT) forms a major research area at the Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence (OFAI) since its inception in 1984. We conduct research in modeling and processing human languages, especially for German. This includes constructing linguistic resources, processing algorithms, and application prototypes. The language technology Group at OFAI is a member of the EU´s European Network of Excellence in Human Language Technologies (ELSNET).
