Through UQ's partnership with the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC), the School of Languages and Cultures has a number of funded projects that explore language-related technologies, data collection infrastructure and Indigenous capability programs. These projects are being led out of the Language Technology and Data Analytics Lab (LADAL), which is overseen by Professor Michael Haugh and Dr Martin Schweinberger.
