Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) and one part of computational linguistics. NLP deals with computational methods for understanding and generating human-readable text. The NLP Group in the Institute of AI at Leibniz University Hannover conducts basic reseach across the whole spectrum of NLP, often in interdisciplinary contexts.
Our main research topics include the steering of large language models (LLMs), the assessment and generation of natural language argumentation, the detection and mitigation of social bias in text, and the generation of human-like feedback and explanations in educational and explainable AI. Our goal is to learn how intentions and views of people are reflected in language and how machines can model this with LLMs and other NLP methods.
