Current projects
EXCITEMENT - EXploring Customer Interactions through Textual EntailMENT, funded by European Union (FP7-ICT-2011-7). Links: official EC project Web page and http://www.dfki.de/lt/project.
THESEUS ORDO TECHWATCH - Ontologies and Language Technologies for technical watch, funded by BMWI. Homepage: http://www.dfki.de/lt/project and http://www.theseus-programm.de/.
I am also involved in a number of industrial funded projects in which our innovative technology for unsupervised term extraction and semantic search is exploited. Especially, together with
OMQ GmbH we are developing software components for improving search in customer interaction data by means of robust spelling correction, key word search and term extraction;
ResearchGate GmbH we are developing unsupervised, scalable information extraction functions for key phrase extraction from scientific literature based on our results from the DILIA project.
In previously industrial funded projects we have developed software components in the area of text mining, information extraction, semantic search and recognizing textual entailment for a number of clients, e.g., Dresdner Bank (now integrated into Commerzbank), Gelbe Seiten AG, Deutsche Telekom, and Yellow Strom GmbH.
