We are the Natural Language Processing group (PortNLP) in the
Department of Computer Science at
Portland State University. Our
primary research interests are in the areas of Natural Language Processing, Machine
Learning, and Computational Social Sciences.
In addition to our work at PortNLP, we are also affiliated with the Coco Lab,
a sister research group focused on the intersection of computer science, management, and anthropology.
You can check out our projects and code at
