The NLP Lab at Montclair State University brings together Linguistics and the School of Computing. We combine linguistic insights with rigorous, cutting edge methods in machine learning and other computational approaches to process human language. 

The NLP lab is run by Dr. Anna Feldman and Dr. Libby Barak.

Anna Feldman is also the Director of the MS in Computational Linguistics program.

Currently, our research covers a range of topics, including:

•  figurative language processing, 

• modeling first and second language acquisition, 

• multi-modal processing,

• large language models (LLMs). 

We focus on understanding the blackbox nature of AI systems, enhancing NLP capabilities for low-resource languages, and developing cross-lingual and multilingual models. Our work spans multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Yoruba, Turkish, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, and more.
