Text Mining Software

The research lab Text Mining Software (TMS) specializes in the field of computational linguistics and text mining. Syntactic-semantic methods are developed to extract information from digitized continuous texts. Depending on application-specific questions, all relevant text statements are automatically identified, visualized and transferred to structured knowledge bases.

The focus is on answering the questions "Who?-When?-Where?-What?" in order to generate complete and succinct descriptions of events. The research and development in the field of natural language processing (NLP) is expressly application-oriented by developing marketable solutions in close cooperation with our partners.
