HCRC is an interdisciplinary Research Centre based at the
Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. It was originally established
with funding from the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)
in 1989, and became independent of that core support ten years later.
In the report of an international review committee appointed by ESRC
in 1997, the Centre was highly praised and ranked alongside the best
of its comparator institutes in Europe. Since then, continued
development and new staff appointments have ensured that HCRC is among
the world's foremost centres for research into cognitive and
computational aspects of communication.
HCRC involves approximately 60 academic and related staff, covering an
extremely wide range of expertise in human communication. This
includes virtually all aspects of Computational Linguistics, Cognitive
Psychology, Psycholinguistics and many aspects of Artificial
Intelligence. Collaboration and consultancy can be offered in any of
these areas. HCRC has specific experts in:
+ computational linguistics
+ cognitive psychology
+ human computer interface design and assessment
+ computer science
+ artificial intelligence
+ semantics
+ software engineering
+ document management
