Computational linguistics (CL) is a discipline between linguistics and computer science which is concerned with the computational aspects of the human language faculty. It belongs to the cognitive sciences and overlaps with the field of artificial intelligence (AI), a branch of computer science aiming at computational models of human cognition. Computational linguistics has applied and theoretical components.
The department consists of four chairs: two chairs in Computational Linguistics, held by Prof. Dr. Manfred Pinkal and Prof. Dr. Hans Uszkoreit, one chair for Phonetics/Phonology, held by Prof. Dr. William Barry, and one chair for Psycholinguistics, held by Prof. Dr. Matthew Crocker.
Several projects are conducted in the fields of Applied and Theoretical Computational Linguistics.

To us law and informatics is all about how legal professionals can improve their working practices with the help of computer technology. Obviously this includes the legal problems posed by new technology. Law and informatics is more than just Computer Law. The subject encapsulates important aspects of computer science, logic and legal method. The IFRI cooperates world-wide.

The Institute for Formal Ontology and Medical Information Science was founded in April 2002 utilizing a grant of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation . IFOMIS comprehends an interdisciplinary research group, with members from Philosophy, Computer and Information Science, Logic, Medicine, and Medical Informatics, focusing on theoretically grounded research in both formal and applied ontology. Its goal is to develop a formal ontology that will be applied and tested in the domain of medical and biomedical information science.
Inquiries regarding long- and short-term research visits are welcome.
