Studies in Prague
High-quality affordable bachelor’s and master’s programs taught in English, at one of the oldest and most highly regarded universities in Europe and in one of the most student-friendly cities.
Quality Translation 21
Only 3 of the 27 languages of the EU enjoy moderate to good support by machine translation technologies, hindering the communication flow throughout Europe. The project QT21 in which ÚFAL participated aims to improve the status quo. See the QT21 video highlighting the problem and some of the novel solutions proposed by QT21.
October issue no.109
The October issue of The Prague Bulletin of Mathematical Linguistics features papers dealing with neural networks, machine translation (and often both of these topics) and with discourse connectives.
Manuscripts with unpublished linguistics results and contributions to future issues are welcome, see the guidelines.
