The COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS RESEARCH GROUP at
the University of Wolverhampton (<http://clg.wlv.ac.uk/>http://clg.wlv.ac.uk)
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 abstracting, question
answering, lexical knowledge acquisition, text
categorisation, named entity recognition,
information extraction, corpus construction and
annotation, automatic terminology processing,
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.
