Giellatekno, the Research group for Saami language technology

Giellatekno combines cutting-edge linguistic and computational research into the analysis of Saami and other morphologically-rich languages, with the development of practical applications. It focusses on deep linguistic modeling and on highly efficient and robust computational analysis with a wide empirical coverage. The group also extends its activities to other under-resourced languages, particularly Circumpolar and Uralic languages. Analyses and tools are designed to make it easier for other minority language societies to develop the language technology constituting a prerequisite for a language to survive in modern society.
