Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a research method in which large collections of written language are analyzed by means of computational and statistical techniques.

Utrecht University and University Medical Center Utrecht employ this method in various disciplines, such as linguistics (extracting user-specified grammatical constructions, sentiment analysis), biomedical research (classifying research papers as either relevant or irrelevant), history (tracking concepts over time), literary studies (stylometrics, authorship), etc.

The joint NLP hub aims to promote NLP as a useful research method in the UU and UMCU community, and to explore novel applications of NLP in research, as well as fundamental research into NLP methods.
