The CALPS group has two main research foci: natural language and computational linguistics and representation and cognition.
Natural language and computational linguistics
This research focuses on devising accurate, efficient and scalable approaches for computer-based analysis and generation of language, driven by newly emerging application areas which demand language processing that deals with meaning. The main areas of research include:
Representation and cognition
This research focuses on developing and applying cognitive theories of people engaging in knowledge intensive tasks. The research typically addresses the role(s) of representation, emphasising cognitive and semantic dimensions. The main areas of research include:
- Cognitive & agent modelling
- Diagrammatic & notational cognition
- Learning & decision support environments
- Writing & drawing cognition
- Representational systems design
