This is particularly relevant for Norwegian language technology where language resources are scarce and international development is predominantly in English. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-sizing-medium\">In addition, the technologies are increasingly used to analyse data that isn&#8217;t derived from languages, such as logs or industrial data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ChatGPT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ChatGPT and other large language models (LLM) have been a significant part of our research since 2018, and we have extensive experience in training, adapting and fine-tuning neural language models to accommodate different tasks and demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Social robots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We often utilise social robots to evaluate and test prototypes using appropriate methodologies, and to measure learning experiences and effects. We can also examine various ethical issues and delve into deep neural networks that govern the way the robots process language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Issues with language technology models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Language technology presents a range of challenges that require attention and resolution.
