We are a passionate, inclusive group of students and faculty, postdocs and research engineers, who work together on algorithms that allow computers to process, generate, and understand human languages. Our interests are very broad, including basic scientific research on computational linguistics, machine learning, practical applications of human language technology, and interdisciplinary work in computational social science and cognitive science. We also develop a wide variety of educational materials on NLP and many tools for the community to use, including the <a href="https://stanfordnlp.github.io/stanza/">Stanza toolkit</a> which processes text in over 60 human languages. <p> The Stanford NLP Group is part of the <a href="https://ai.stanford.edu/">Stanford AI Lab (SAIL)</a>, and we also have close associations with the <a href="https://hai.stanford.edu/">Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI)</a>, the <a href="https://crfm.stanford.edu/">Center for Research on Foundation Models</a>, <a href="https://datascience.stanford.edu/">Stanford Data Science</a>, and <a href="https://csli.stanford.edu/">CSLI</a>. We include members of the <a href="http://linguistics.stanford.edu/">Linguistics Department</a>, the <a href="http://cs.stanford.edu/">Computer Science Department</a>, the <a href="https://psychology.stanford.edu/">Psychology Department</a>, and the <a href="https://ed.stanford.edu/">Graduate School of Education</a>, among others. </p> <p>Want to work with us? </p> <ul> <li>Stanford students: <a href="https://nlp.stanford.edu/clips/">Apply to do research in the Stanford NLP Group</a> <li>Non-Stanford students: Apply to Stanford programs in Computer Science or Linguistics. </ul> <!--<p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20200209040455im_/https://nlp.stanford.edu/templates/new.gif" width="40"> <a href="job.shtml">Postdoctoral position available</a>!--> </section> <div class="info"> <a href="archive/"><img src="/static/img/group-photo-2024.jpg" class="img-responsive center-block img-thumbnail" alt="Group photo 2024"></a> </div> <!-- <section class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12"> <div class="detail-block"> <div class="info-block"> <i class="glyphicons turtle"></i> <h4 align="right">Upcoming Events</h4> <iframe src="https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?showTitle=0&showNav=0&showDate=0&showPrint=0&showTabs=0&showCalendars=0&showTz=0&mode=AGENDA&height=500&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&src=ikfuq278l7n9dvf80vnk5no2t4%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%2342104A&ctz=America%2FLos_Angeles" style="align:center;display:block;border-width:0;" width="400" height="400" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> </div> </div> </section> --> </div> </div> </div> <!-- <div class="widewrapper weak-highlight"> <div class="container content"> <div class="showroom-controls"> <div class="links">Recent Work <i class="verticalSeparator"></i> <a href="portfolio.html">All Work</a></div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="showroom-item col-sm-3"> <div class="image"> <img style="text-align:center;float:center" src="/static/img/logos/nlp-logo.gif" class="img-responsive" alt="Portfolio Image"> <a class="overlay" href="portfolio-inner.html"> <i class="glyphicons search"></i> <div class="name">Universal Dependencies</div> </a> </div> </div> <div class="showroom-item col-sm-3"> <div class="image"> <img src="/static/img/logos/nlp-logo.gif" class="img-responsive" alt="Portfolio Image"> <a class="overlay" href="portfolio-inner.html"> <i class="glyphicons search"></i> <div class="name">Semantic Parsing</div> </a> </div> </div> <div class="showroom-item col-sm-3"> <div class="image"> <img src="/static/img/logos/nlp-logo.gif" class="img-responsive" alt="Portfolio Image"> <a class="overlay" href="portfolio-inner.html"> <i class="glyphicons search"></i> <div class="name">Deep Learning</div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </div> --> </div> </div> <footer class="widewrapper footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row footer"> <div class="col-sm-3"> <h4>Stanford NLP Group</h4> Gates Computer Science Building<br> 353 Jane Stanford Way<br> Stanford, CA 94305-9020<br> <a href="http://forum.stanford.edu/visitors/directions/gates.php">Directions and Parking</a> </div> <div class="col-sm-3"> <div class="indent30"> <h4>Affiliated Groups</h4> <ul class="grove-list"> <li><a href="http://ai.stanford.edu/">Stanford AI Lab</a></li> <li><a href="http://infolab.stanford.edu/">Stanford InfoLab</a></li> <li><a href="https://www-csli.stanford.edu/">CSLI</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <!-- <div class="col-sm-3"> </div> --> <div class="col-sm-3"> <div class="indent30"> <h4>Connect</h4> <!-- <div class="row"> --> <ul class="grove-list"> <li><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/tags/stanford-nlp">Stack Overflow</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/stanfordnlp/CoreNLP">Github</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/stanfordnlp">Twitter</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <!-- <div class="row center-block"> <a href="https://github.com/stanfordnlp/CoreNLP" class="social github"></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/stanfordnlp" class="social twitter"></a> </div> --> <div class="col-sm-3"> <div class="indent30"> <h4>Local links</h4> <div class="small" style="text-align:left"> <a href="/local/nlp_lunch.shtml">NLP Lunch</a> · <a href="http://nlp.stanford.edu/read/">NLP Reading Group</a> <br> <a href="http://nlp.stanford.edu/seminar/">NLP Seminar</a> · <a href="/local/calendar.shtml">Calendar</a> <br> <a href="https://nlp.stanford.edu/local/cluster-info/index.html">Cluster Info</a> <br> <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WmdhdR_-uigbtHHcINz7sTB-vlFasTp8pQ0Y6L4eCm4">Cluster Onboarding</a> <br> <a href="http://ai.stanford.edu/portfolio-view/distinguished-speaker-series">AI Speakers</a> · <a href="/local/qa/">Q&A</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> <script src="/static/js/vendor/bootstrap/bootstrap.min.js"></script> <script src="/static/js/vendor/modernizr/modernizr.js"></script> <script> $('ul.nav > li > a[href="' + document.location.pathname + '"]').parent().addClass('active'); </script> </body> </html>
