The NTT Communication Science Laboratories, in particular the Machine Translation Research Group is working with DELPH-IN as part of our research into natural language understanding.

We are currently building the Hinoki treebank, a sense-tagged treebanked corpus of dictionary definition and example sentences. From this we then automatically induce an ontology. We use and extend the JACY Japanese grammar, cooperating with, among others, the DFKI, NAIST, Kyoto University and CSLI. We also play a part in testing, documenting and enhancing the LKB, PET, the [incr tsdb()] profiler (ItsdbTop), the ERG and other components.
