TIPSTER-compatible projects at Sheffield
Hamish Cunningham, Kevin Humphreys, Robert Gaizauskas, Yorick Alexander Wilks · 1996
Projects currently underway at Sheffield may be more appropriately described by the term Language Engineering than the well-established labels of Natural Language Processing or Computational Linguistics. This reflects an increased focus on viable applications of language technology, promoting a view of the software infrastructure as central to the development process. To this end, Sheffield has produced GATE - a TIPSTER-compatible General Architecture for Text Engineering - providing an environment in which a number of Sheffield projects are currently being developed.
