Lab of Ontologies, Language Processing & e-Humanities @ NTU
We study how humans process language through computational and cognitive lenses.
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.

// Principal Investigator
Our goal is to explore the frontier where language, cognition, and computation begin to diverge.
PROJECT_CWN
Chinese Wordnet (CWN) is a long-running lexical knowledge resource for representing Chinese word senses and lexical-semantic relations through synsets, glosses, examples, and a connected semantic network.
CAESAR
CAESAR investigates AI-native language assessment for future language learners.
MultiMoCo
