Description: |
Researchers gradually build up a "feeling" for a field of research over time, by reading published papers, attending conferences, looking at other researchers' web sites, and so on. This project aims to automate, as much as possible, the process of building knowledge about a specified research area. It will do this by using existing online resources and combining them to build a portal that contains information about people, topics and sub-topics, projects, organisations, etc. Ultimately, the system would build a back-end database containing the information about a given field of research and provide a web front-end to explore this information. You would have a choice of which sub-problem to work on. Topics include: database/schema design, information extraction, entity disambiguation, ontology building, versioning and error-correction, display and exploration. | |
