Research explores ways in which computer technology can be applied to tasks which involve the use of natural (human) languages (like English, French or Arabic). Our research interests include statistical language generation, combining language and vision, text mining, emotional content and opinion in text, recommender systems, information quality, lexical representation, multilingualism, semantic metadata, evaluation methods, and natural language systems and architectures.
We apply our research in a wide range of application areas, including weather forecasts, medical information on the web, historical documents and archives, dictionaries, consumer reviews and film studies.
