Research Lines
Research at XLDB addresses topics in geographic information retrieval, text mining and natural language processing, web archiving and search, information visualisation, and biomedical informatics, organized under two of LASIGE's research lines:
- Biomedical Informatics - investigates problems related to biological, clinical and epidemiological data management. The current focus is on genomic and proteomic data mining and natural language processing of the biomedical literature.
- Information Management - investigates data processing problems with a focus on systems for data analyses, information integration and user access to large quantities of complex data from heterogeneous platforms. Current research topics span geographic information retrieval, text mining and natural language processing, web archiving and search, and information visualization.
