Natural Language Processing Group
The UCF NLP group directed by Professor Fei Liu conducts basic and applied research in the areas of natural language processing, automatic summarization, text generation, question answering, and deep learning. Our mission is to develop innovative and robust natural language technologies to improve machine understanding and synthesis of human language. The core technologies we have developed include robust algorithms for extractive and abstractive summarization, multi-document summarization, natural language generation, probabilistic graphical models, deep learning for NLP, and applications of NLP technologies to assist retrieval and summarization of document collections.
