The Low-Resource Language (LOREL) Lab at UC Santa Barbara is a computational linguistics lab dedicated to advancing research related to scarce, endangered, and ancient languages and connected cultural communities. We focus on developing new techniques and evaluation methods in data science and machine learning for linguistic datasets that are small, complex, or fragmented (“low-resource”).
The LOREL Lab is both a research and teaching lab. We prioritize research that connects faculty and students and offers opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students to gain hands-on experience with professional-level research, communication, and publication.
