The DERI Unit for Natural Language Processing (http://nlp.deri.ie/) has a focus
on applied research in ontology-based information extraction, semantic-level
text mining and the use of linguistic and semantic methods in information
retrieval. The unit develops methods for the efficient application of NLP tools
in combination with domain semantics as specified in ontologies, thesauri and
other knowledge organisation systems for relevant use cases. Research is carried
