CSLI (Center For The Study Of Language And Information)
CSLI Menu (current page: Home)

The Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI) is a Independent Research Center founded in 1983 by researchers from Stanford University, SRI International, and Xerox PARC (now just PARC).

CSLI is devoted to research in the emerging science of information, computing, and cognition. This new science had its origins in the late 1970s as computer scientists, linguists, logicians, philosophers, psychologists, and artificial intelligence researchers, seeking solutions to problems in their own disciplines, turned to one another for help.

 Announcing

OPENPROOF DAY
on Friday, March 27, 2009
CSLI, Cordura Hall room 100
A day of events on Logic Education, Heterogeneous Reasoning and Educational Data Mining

Openproof Day is a day of events presenting the work of CSLI's Openproof Project. Since the early 1980's we have been developing innovative and effective courseware packages for logic education such as Tarski's World, Turing's World, Hyperproof and Language, Proof and Logic. This work has led us to research in heterogeneous reasoning, and education data mining.

 Featured Research Group

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy implements the new digital library concept of a "dynamic reference work"---it is a highly customized work-flow system by which the members of an entire discipline can collaboratively maintain a refereed reference work that not only introduces (for beginners) traditional philosophical topics but also tracks (for experts) the new ideas being published on those topics in both fixed and web-based media.

 Featured Publication

Putting Linguistics into Speech Recognition by Manny Rayner, Beth Ann Hockey, and Pierette Bouillon, editors.

Regulus is an Open Source toolkit for construction of spoken command grammars, which has been developed since 2001 by a consortium whose main partners have been NASA Ames, the University of Geneva, and Fluency Voice Technology. Grammar development with Regulus is carried out using example-based methods and reusable grammar resources, which reduces the level of expertise needed and makes the process more automated. The Regulus approach is effective for building command grammars even at initial stages of a project when there may be little or no domain data available. Regulus has been used to build command grammars for several major projects. Among these are NASA's Clarissa, which in 2005 became the first spoken dialogue system to be deployed in space, and MedSLT, an Open Source medical speech translator developed at Geneva University.
