Yarowsky Lab

Low-Resource Languages Lab at JHU

David Yarowsky

We focus on minimally supervised ("low-resource") and massively multilingual techniques in machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP). We apply these methods to machine translation, natural language understanding, speech recognition, and lexicon induction. We are also the core of the Universal Morphology (UniMorph) project and the c(ur|re)ators of the Johns Hopkins University Bible Corpus.

We are led by David Yarowsky, ACL Fellow and Treasurer, Professor of Computer Science, and member of the multi-departmental Center for Language and Speech Processing at Johns Hopkins University (JHU), who is also affiliated with the Human Language Technology Center of Excellence.
