Egon Stemle is a Cognitive Scientist: he studies skills like perception, thinking, learning, motor function, and language by combining the humanistic and analytical methods of the arts and the formal sciences. His research focus lies in the area where Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence converge. He works on computer aided fabrication of ontologies from large document repositories, the technological feasibility thereof and the utilization of cross-linked structured data in applications, as well as on tools for editing, processing, and annotating linguistic data. His curiosity in research is driven by the question why humans handle incomplete and - more often than not - inconsistent structured concepts just fine, whereas computational processes are often of little avail or fail completely.
Manage and develop the relationships of the institute’s computational linguists with internal and external partners and stakeholders, in regard to deploying and extending the institute's digital resources (data and code) and to assist in strategic planning of computational linguistic applications. The EURAC's Institute for Specialised Communication and Multilingualism is concerned with research on terminology, translation, variety linguistics and corpora as well as research related to sociolinguistics and lexicography. Most of the research projects have a strong dependency on computer technologies (databases, web services, software for linguistic tasks, language representation and processing techniques, content management systems, terminological tools, and translation tools). Within each project the technological components are usually designed and implemented by a project internal computer scientist or computational linguist. In addition to the preceding projects, there is also a research project concerning the visualization of linguistic data.
