LTI computer model aims to turn film scripts into animations
The Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon educates the leaders of tomorrow and performs groundbreaking research in the areas of Natural Language Processing, Computational Linguistics, Information Extraction, Summarization & Question Answering, Information Retrieval, Text Mining & Analytics, Knowledge Representation, Reasoning & Acquisition, Language Technologies for Education, Machine Learning, Machine Translation, Multimodal Computing and Interaction, Speech Processing, and Spoken Interfaces & Dialogue Processing.
Our unique programs offer the expertise to prepares you for a wide range of careers while staying true to the rigorous curriculum that defines computer science at CMU.
LTI faculty and students investigate more than 20 areas of language and information technologies, routinely producing breakthroughs that impact everything from education to healthcare.
Strong partnerships lead to strong results. Whether it's by sponsoring research, developing a capstone project, or joining one of our industry consortia, we want you to work with us to change the world.
We recognize that the only way to advance language technologies research is to share our results with other professionals and researchers across the globe. The LTI Catalogue contains more than 100 different resources like tools, libraries, web services and data that are available to anyone. We hope that the catalogue will grow and thrive as our research does the same.
Get the right information to the right people at the right time in the right language, the right format and the right level of detail.
Jaime Carbonell foresaw a world where people could freely communicate with each other, no matter what language they spoke. He knew that making this dream a reality would require automation, so he spent his career building machines that could understand human language.He knew full well that earlier attempts at machine translation had largely come to naught. Nevertheless, as a young computer...
Complete the following sentence: Rohingya refugees should go to —A. Pakistan.B. Bangladesh.C. Hell.These aren't good choices, but all are sentiments that have been expressed repeatedly on social media. The Rohingyas, who began fleeing Myanamar in 2017 to avoid ethnic cleansing, are ill-equipped to defend themselves from these online attacks, but innovations from Carnegie Mellon...
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a computer model that can translate text describing physical movements directly into simple computer-generated animations, a first step toward someday generating movies directly from scripts.Scientists have made tremendous leaps in getting computers to understand natural language, as well as in generating a series of physical poses to...
The LTI makes its home inside the Hillman Center for Future Generation Technologies. We're right on campus, but an easy walk from great restaurants, coffee shops, museums and libraries.
