Overview

Sitovin Labs is a private computational linguistics R&D company.
We research and develop human language.

We transform language with new forms and functions—creating augmented variants and the systems that use them.
Our work advances the super language framework, a modular approach for grafting new capabilities onto natural or constructed languages.
A technical introduction is available in our preprint (HTML, PDF) and accompanying proof-of-concept (demo).

Research

• super language, augmentation of natural or constructed languages
• linguistic typology & computational semiotics
• rewrite systems & formal grammars
• engineering systems for language design and use
• psycholinguistics, human acquisition of artificial language

Applications

• language mods
  e.g. parallelization of human speech
• information privacy & security
  e.g. linguistic steganography
• human-machine communication
  e.g. user-specific model or agent interface
• intelligence measurement & development
  e.g. Linguistics-Olympiad-style benchmarking
• competitive games
  e.g. community super language experiments

Founding thesis

We believe the neural coding schemes that underlie language processing are pluripotent instruments of the human mind. Super language is a system to explore and exploit them.

Sitovin takes its name from the undeciphered Sitovo inscription, detritus of earlier super language experiments.
It is a portmanteau: Sitov(o) in(scription).
