PLEASE NOTE. This project is for self-funded or externally sponsored students only. It is quite common that a country or community has only one official language, or one overwhelmingly dominant official language amongst a few. Read more
Language and Communication Studies came fifth in the UK with 74 per cent of its research rated 4* (world leading) or 3* (internationally excellent) in The Research Excellence Framework (REF2014), a major Government analysis of university research quality. Read more
A considerable literature has investigated how different populations of monolingual and bilingual speakers acquire and process language in real-time. Read more
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated incredible capabilities in several tasks, including Natural Language Generation (NLG) and Dialogue Systems. Read more
Are you fascinated by the interplay between artificial intelligence, memory mechanisms, and language comprehension? Do you aspire to push the boundaries of generative models and advance our understanding of human-like cognition? We invite applications for a PhD position in the innovative field of exploring generative AI, memory, and language understanding. Read more
This project aims to explore the relationship between textiles and the language that originates from textiles and permeates into wider usage, as well as the way that wider language affects different areas of textiles. Read more
Language models such as ChatGPT have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their ability to generate human-like text and assist with a wide range of natural language processing tasks. Read more
The University of York is embarking on transformative research in data-centric engineering, digital twins, and AI, revolutionizing the way systems are designed and operated. Read more
Language is rich with expressive options, including words that tailor speech to the specific situation, e.g., varying by register (potato vs. Read more
Healthy ageing is associated with well-recognised cognitive decline across multiple domains from age 50 onwards (e.g., working memory, processing speed). Read more
Early language skills are known to contribute to later reading acquisition. This project will examine how variation in early language affects the transition to literacy among children developing typically or atypically due to factors such as neurodiversity or socio-economic status. Read more
A connection between a child’s early language development and the learning environment is well established. What is less clear is how specific environments and experiences affect the linguistic skills of young children with resulting effects on their later conceptual understanding and language use.

Large Language Models (LLMs) signify a groundbreaking leap forward in the realm of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and its affiliated domains. Read more
ChatGPT has popularized Large Language Models (LLMs), which are now at the forefront of today's AI boom. The LLMs are remarkable tools that can understand, generate, and interact with human language in a natural way. Read more
Objective. The aim of this research project is to develop a comprehensive system for detecting anomalies in human behavior by leveraging both visual and textual data. Read more
About the Project. Authorship analysis, sometimes also called authorship attribution or authorship identification, is the task of determining who wrote a document based on the author’s use of language. Read more
Natural Language Processing (NLP) models, including Large Language Models (LLMs), are becoming increasingly popular and are adopted for many practical applications. Read more
The language of visual music. An historical re-evaluation of the visual music canon in search of the origins of correlations between sound and vision. Read more
Project description. Large-language models (LLMs) are currently one of the most studied models in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the basis for recent chatbots such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Read more
PLEASE NOTE. This project is for self-funded or externally sponsored students only. We invite applications from strong and motivated candidates to our highly interdisciplinary PhD project on language processing in multilingual contexts. Read more
Multimodal multilingual sentiment analysis involves analysing sentiments expressed in different modalities (such as text, images, audio) and across different languages. Read more
The aim of this Ph.D. project is to leverage Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT or variations, to enhance clinical decision support systems in the medical domain. Read more
The aim of this Ph.D. project is to develop a comprehensive framework that seamlessly integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) with advanced computer vision techniques to enhance the understanding, generation, and retrieval of multimedia content. Read more
