Impact
We nurture a long-standing tradition of developing research in collaboration with academic and industrial partners to fill gaps in knowledge or to find solutions to problems faced by practicing translators, subtitlers and interpreters. Past collaborative projects with private and public sector partners have yielded benefits in a number of sectors, improving commercial performance, enhancing professional practice and creating innovative pedagogical resources.
The Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021 recognised 79% of the overall research activity submitted across the School of Languages, Cultures and Societies as either ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’.

Russian morphosyntactic annotation and syntactic parsing
Chinese tagging and annotation
Corpus processing tools, including automatic domain and genre classification
