Funded Activity Summary

Parsing the web: Exploiting redundancy to understand language. This project will automatically learn the grammatical structure of language by exploiting redundancy of facts, like 'Mozart was born in 1756', from a trillion words of web text. These facts will be used to understand more complex sentences. This will enable smart information use of text with grammatical information for large-scale information access for the first time. This project will strengthen Australia's world-class expertise, providing opportunities for future researchers in this area. Our expanded C&C tools and trillion word corpus will be used by academics, companies and governments, in Australia and internationally, aiding applications including financial surveillance and fraud detection.
