Lars Borin, born on February, 2, 1957, is a professor of Natural Language Processing at the university of Gothenburg, Sweden. He is a director of Nationella Språkbanken, a Swedish nation-wide e-infrastructure for language technology; and an ex-director of the Swedish Språkbanken/Språkbanken Text (Swedish Language Bank) (2004-2021). He specializes in language technology infrastructure, digital language resources, digital historical linguistics, computational lexicography, lexical semantics, language typology, digital humanities, computer-assisted language learning, multi-word expressions. He is best known for his work on the Swedish Språkbanken (Swedish Language Bank), where he is a mastermind and driving force behind making large collections of corpora and computer-readable lexicons of modern and historical Swedish openly available for users, both for download and for searches through web search interfaces Korp[1] and Karp[2]. Språkbanken's corpora have become a source of data for state-of-the-art research within Swedish linguistics, historical linguistics, digital humanities, history, language acquisition, and others.

Lars Borin devoted his career to strengthening the status of Swedish language technology in Sweden and in the world. Among others, he initiated and led development of a set of modern tools for automatic analysis of Swedish language (Sparv annotation tool[3]), a set of tools for exploration of corpora (Korp[1] ), state-of-the-art computer-readable lexicon SALDO[4], lexical network Swedish FrameNet++[5], a web interface for access to the available lexicons (Karp[2]) and others. He is a director of the Swedish node of CLARIN[6], an EU infrastructure for language technology.
