Teaching Professor, Language Technologies Institute
Computer Science Department

Kemal Oflazer is a Teaching Professor at Carnegie Mellon University's Language Technologies Institute (LTI). His research focuses on computational morphology, natural language processing (NLP) for low-resource languages, and the intersection of language technologies with large-scale AI systems. Over his distinguished career, Dr. Oflazer has made significant contributions to Turkish NLP, including the development of finite-state morphological analyzers, machine translation systems for morphologically complex languages, and computational resources for underrepresented languages. His recent work explores the capabilities of large language models in generating semantically novel and morphologically complex forms, contributing to advancing NLP for diverse linguistic systems.
