The main area of research is the use of finite-state automata in natural language processing. Main achievements include two sets of programs that construct and use finite state automata and transducers. They can be used for spelling correction, accent restoration, morphology, etc. They are described in more detail at http://www.pg.gda.pl/~jandac/fsa.html. There is also a library of a subset of functions of one of those packages (the fsa package), which also provides compressed language models. Jan Daciuk is the only person involved in the NLP in the department, and he is on leave from the department as a postdoc in Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, the Netherlands. He should return in February 2003. The computing facilities at the department include 17 Sparc stations working under Solaris and several PCs (Windows/Linux), all connected to the internet. For an overview of the research done in the department see http://www.eti.pg.gda.pl/KATEDRY/kzi/en/research.html.
