Text Crunching Center (TCC)

Welcome to the TCC

The Text Crunching Center (TCC) is a service offered to both external partners or customers and to all departments of the University of Zurich (where we are known as NLP group in LiRI Tech).

The TCC is an integral part of LiRI (Linguistic Research Infrastructure), one of several Platforms at the University of Zurich. We are housed inside LiRI Tech, as the NLP group, and closely collaborate with Computational Linguistics.

If any of the following applies to you, you are in the right place:

  • As a researcher, do you want to base your empirical findings on textual data?
  • Does your company need help in managing or processing a collection of documents?
  • Do you want to automate tedious manual tasks involving text?
  • Do you intend to make your documents machine-readable?
  • Do you want to detect historical trends, political leanings, personal stance?
  • Do you have an interesting application in mind which is built on text?
  • Does your text search need an upgrade?
  • Do you want to get started to implement language technology solutions yourself?
  • Do you have historical documents that you are looking to digitalise?

If you need help with the technological side of things, we are here for you!
