             NLP RESEARCH IN THE FACULTY OF INFORMATICS AT
                        MASARYK UNIVERSITY BRNO

The research carried out by the NLP (Natural Language Processing) group 
of the Faculty of Informatics at Masaryk University Brno will be over-
viewed in the presentation. The principal aims of this research involve 
the text-corpora based analysis of Czech (disambiguation methods, 
morphological and syntax analysis, and building up a Czech lexical 
Wordnet database), speech technologies and dialogue systems (speech 
segmentation, in particular for syllable segments, syllable-based 
speech synthesis and recognition, modeling and developing of speech 
interfaces and dialogue systems) and applications of AI methods 
(especially machine learning) to the analysis of natural languages. 
The developed tools for corpora analysis, the TTS system Demosthenes, 
as well as some applications, especially in the field of the assistive 
technologies for visually impaired persons, will also be briefly 
described.
