Text Mining and Information Retrieval

Project Investigator Professor Paul Watry

Scientific/ Technical Objectives To enhance components of the National Centre for Text Mining (based at Manchester)

Role of NW-GRID Information retrieval over a defined text-collection requires that relevant semantic indices for this collection are built. This process is computationally intensive and can benefit from being run on a distributed compute platform such as NW-GRID.

Applications Software Cheshire

Grid Software Kepler (workflow), SRB(data virtualisation), other data-grid components

Progress to date A prototype National Text Mining service is available at NaCTeM - the National Centre for Text Mining
