Welcome
The Web Intelligence Technologies group is part of the NLP Research Group within the Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield.
We do research on, and provide applications of, Intelligent Technologies for tomorrow's Web, with a particular focus on their use for Knowledge Management. Our activity develops in two directions:
- Technologies for Acquisition of Knowledge from document collections; this includes:
- Large Scale Mining of Document Repositories;
- Information Extraction from Documents.
- Technologies for Knowledge Sharing and Reuse; this includes:
- Document annotation methodologies, with a particular focus on semi-automatic methods for document annotation;
- Intelligent methods to access dispersed information in large repositories.
The group is coordinated by Professor Fabio Ciravegna and is comprised of researchers and PhD students.
