About
The main goal of our research group is to develop and adapt natural language processing (NLP) methods for automatic analysis of documents, emphasizing multilingual semantic representation, multimodality (mainly text & image), and rapid adaptation to new domains. The methods cover the information extraction and other NLP tasks such as document classification, summarization, dialogue-act recognition, named-entity recognition, and sentiment analysis. The research will target mainly contemporary medical and historical documents, with experiments on handwriting, and will leverage visual cues from document images to improve semantic understanding.
