Mission & Values

We Connect Language, Technology, and Humanity

Founded in 2007 by Professor Shu-Kai Hsieh, the Lab of Ontologies, Language Processing, and e-Humanities (LOPE) draws its spirit from the word's medieval meaning: "to walk with a long bounding stride." With this steady, purposeful momentum, we believe that the enduring value of the humanities and human knowledge must be respected and innovated within the age of AI.
