Research

Roger Evans is a research team leader in the Natural Language Technology Group

His research interests include

  • Applications of computer technology (knowledge representation, advanced algorithms, machine learning), particularly to problems which involve the use of natural (human) languages, including natural language generation, information extraction, text and data mining, sentiment and genre analysis.
  • Knowledge representation, especially as it relates to language: lexicons, ontologies, semantic web, multilingual representation.
  • Language-based components of user interfaces: advanced interface localisation, free text issues.
  • Architectures and tools for language processing systems.
