We are delighted to share that Professor Joakim Nivre, who was recently a Visiting Fellow at Clare Hall, has been granted the Chester Carlson Research Award of 100,000 SEK for his innovative contributions to computational linguistics, his leadership in the research community, and his commitment to language technology through collaboration. The award has been granted since 1985 to promote scientific research in the field of information science.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences has shared their motivation for granting Professor Nivre the award: “His work not only contributes to academic understanding but also has practical applications for improving language technologies used globally, impacting everything from machine translation to AI-driven communication tools. By granting Nivre the Chester Carlson Award, we recognise his outstanding achievements and the lasting impact his work has had on the field of computational linguistics.”
