REDPLIR

The Network for the Processing of Natural Language and Information Retrieval [RedPLIR], has been funded by the Xunta de Galicia and constituted in 12/13/2006. It is composed for seven research groups of the Galician Universities, with lines of research in Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval. The main objective of the network is to integrate and coordinate the main Galician groups in these research fields. A second objective is to integrate possible partnerships related with the research lines of the network, and to enhance the development of collaborations with the industry.

Objectives

The objectives for the groups of the network are:

  • To develop a consensual set of objectives for research and training
  • The definition of a protocol for the interchange of scientific results
  • To establish a repository of linguistic and computer resources
  • The creation of a stable platform for the diffusion of the work of the network
  • The establishment of a reference point in linguistic and information retrieval technologies in Galicia
  • To recognize that the groups are in the position to reach these different objectives
