Language and Communication Intelligence

Description

Language and Communication Intelligence brings together expertise in Natural Language Processing, Speech Analysis, Argumentation Discourse and their Applications.

The group frames its work explicitly within artificial intelligence, describing natural language processing as a field of AI aimed at understanding and generating natural language, and computational argumentation as a field of AI concerned with designing machines that can engage in argumentative discourse. Its methods include deep learning, logic-based learning and topic modelling, applied to tasks such as machine translation, sentiment analysis, question answering and argument mining. In speech analysis, deep learning is used to detect a speaker's emotional state and other traits directly from speech, supporting applications in human-computer interaction and information retrieval. These AI methods are applied across domains including healthcare, finance and the detection of fake news.
