Revision as of 18:24, 30 June 2015

We are the Neurocognition and Natural Language Processing research lab, part of the Artificial Intelligence group at the Institute of Informatics of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Brazil. We work in the intersection of the exciting fields of cognition, neuroscience and computational linguistics, trying to build systems and models for the integration of human languages into computers.

Our group is headed by Aline Villavicencio and Marco Idiart.
