Organisation profile: Information Technology Research Institute - University of Brighton

---

The Information Technology Research Institute (ITRI) is a
dedicated research department within the University of Brighton. The
current focus of the Institute's work is on computational linguistics,
language engineering, and human computer interfaces. Our research
addresses the following theoretical issues: architectures for natural
language generation, constraint based reasoning, controlled languages,
corpora, diagrammatic reasoning, dialog, discourse, integrating text
and graphics, lexical knowledge bases, lexical representation, message
understanding, multilinguality, natural language interfaces, text
generation, underspecification, word sense disambiguation. The work of
the Institute is funded primarily by grants from national and European
research councils and contracts with commercial organisations. Much of
our work is on highly theoretical issues, but the Institute is also
strongly committed to strategic research, ensuring whenever possible
that the results of our research can provide solutions to real-world
problems.
