Natural language is crucial to how humanity communicates, synthesizes, and stores information. HLT Lab focuses on natural language processing (NLP), the branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computers to perform meaningful tasks with the languages that humans write and speak. Our work covers a variety of topics, including privacy, online social media, ethics, and computational social science.
