| 2 | The research in Natural Language Processing Centre at the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University, Brno, is devoted to the following areas: |
| 3 | |
| 4 | 1. Lexical databases with relation to knowledge representation (Czech [https://nlp.fi.muni.cz/en/WordNet WordNet] and Czech Lexical Database). Tools for viewing and editing dictionaries represented in XML format. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | |
| 7 | 1. Improvement and further development of the tools for morphological analysis of Czech, solving the word derivation problems. |
| 8 | 1. Development of syntactic parsers (partial and general) for Czech and their exploitation as disambiguators. |
| 9 | 1. The problems of syntactic and semantic analysis based on Transparent Intensional Logic. |
| 10 | 1. Building corpora, tagging and disambiguating corpus text, tools for corpus modification, maintenance, corpus managers and graphical interface for corpora. |
| 11 | 1. Exploring techniques and methods of machine learning for the purpose of disambiguation of corpus data. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Essential educational goal of the NLP Centre. is to offer interesting research opportunities both for pregradual and postgradual students and train them within the new field of language engineering. |

| 17 | Recently (2013), MIT Press published a book by Patrick Hanks with the title Lexical Analysis: Norms and Exploitations. Patrick Hanks worked in NLP Centre at FI MU in the past (2006-2008) under the grant by the Czech Academy of Sciences. In his book, Patrick Hanks offers a wide-ranging empirical investigation of word use and meaning in language. The book fills the need for a lexically based, corpus-driven theoretical approach that will help people understand how words go together in collocational patterns and constructions to make meanings.
