· Research on Fine-grained Opinion Mining for Chinese Texts
This is a project from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). Its research period is three years (Jan. 2008 - Dec. 2010). Opinion Mining for subjective texts is a novel and very important research direction. The research contents of this project are: (1) Annotation for Chinese opinioned subjective texts; (2) Automatic classification of Chinese opinioned subjective texts; (3) Identification of the topics of Chinese opinioned sentences; (4) Analysis of the sentiments for Chinese opinioned sentences; and (5) Identification of the relations between topics and sentiments for Chinese opinioned sentences.
The research work aims at resolving the problems concerning the identification of topics, sentiments and the relations between them in single sentences of Chinese opinioned subjective texts. Based on the theories of Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence, a fine-grained opinion mining approach which is suitable to Chinese opinioned subjective texts will be proposed and implemented. The adopted approach utilizes the synthesized advantages of statistical and NLP methods in order to mine useful fine-grained information and knowledge to the maximun extent.
This language technology can be used not only for other natural language processing systems (applications), such as text categorization, text filtering, automatic summarization, natural language generation, question-answering system, dialogue system, machine translation; but also in many areas of daily life, such as e-commerce, e-learning, business intelligence, newspaper editor, business management, information control, public opinion surveys, etc

· COLLATE (Computational Linguistics and Language Technology for Real Life Applications)
This is a BMBF, Germany funded project that supports the building of a German Competence Center for Language Technology in Saarbrücken. Involved partners are various departements at the University of the Saarland and at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence GmbH (DFKI, main coordinator). On the University side the basic research will be concerned mainly with three central application scenarios for language technology and will strongly support the transfer of new methods from academia into real world applications. The three topics are (1) the goal-oriented extraction of information from huge sets of digital documents, (2) the life-like interaction with information services and (3) the management of a large set of information through improved search and summarization techniques. The competence center as such will consist in three components, which will be coordinated at DFKI: (1) a virtual information center, (2) a demonstration center und (3) a evaluation center. The project will be jointly directed by Prof. Dr. H. Uszkoreit, Prof. Dr. M. Pinkal und Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Wahlster. The research period is from April 2001 to Dec. 2003.
