ABOUT

The Center for Human Language Technology and Bioinformatics (HULTIG) is a research group of the Department of Informatics, University of Beira Interior. Over time, we have worked on a variety of topics related to the automatic processing of human language, with particular focus on the application side of them. Among the various sub-domains, we have devoted special attention to Information Search, Mining and Text Extraction, Automatic Summarization, Automatic Plagiarism Detection, Emotion Analysis in Text, Lexical Semantics, Similarity Textual Alignment, Text Aesthetic Characterization.

Besides a majority concern with application and technology, we also consider the more theoretical and conceptual aspects of the study of human language, especially computational linguistics. In this sense, we maintain collaboration with other groups and research units, in a spirit of constant openness to multi-disciplinarity, knowing that it is at the intersection of knowledge that the most interesting solutions to the most complex problems often emerge.
