Bauhaus-Universität Weimar

I recently stumbled upon Bauhaus-Universität Weimar (english), a univerisity for creative studies in Weimar, Germany. The university conducts research in Web Technology and Information Systems.

The site has information about:

• The AItools suite which addresses text-based information retrieval tasks. It is comprised of basic and advanced algorithms, data structures, and design patterns to model complex real-world retrieval processes.


• The AIsearch mining tool for the intelligent analysis of document collections. It offers a convenient interface for Web-based search and combines algorithms for the formation, labeling, and visualization of categories along with a smart spelling analysis.


• The International Workshop on Text-based Information Retrieval which addresses researchers, users, and practitioners from different fields: data mining and machine learning, document and knowledge management, semantic technologies, computer linguistics, and information retrieval in general.

The TIR workshop is occurs in conjunction with DEXA which also hosts other interesting workshops on data processing, data management, data mining and retrieval, semantics, knowledge, self adaption, and autonomic computing.
