Projects
The Language Technology Group at OFAI is involved in a number of projects in basic and applied research. On the European level, the group acts as a partner in projects funded by the EC, mostly in the Human Language Technologies / Language Engineering sector. On a national level, projects are funded mainly by the Austrian Science Foundation (FWF) and the FFF/ITF. In some of these projects, cooperations exist with Austrian university departments and companies.
