The Research Group in Computational Linguistics at the University of Wolverhampton
Established by Prof. Mitkov in 1997, the Research Group in Computational
Linguistics is a highly successful one, delivering cutting-edge research in a
number of NLP areas such as anaphora resolution, automatic summarisation,
translation technology, terminology extraction, question answering, lexical
knowledge acquisition, text categorisation, named entity recognition,
information extraction, corpus construction and annotation, multilingual
processing, and multiple-choice question generation. To a large extent, this
research has been undertaken in projects funded by major UK funding bodies and
commercial partners.
