Paul Buitelaar

I am Senior Lecturer and vice-director of the Data Science Institute (DSI) at NUI Galway where I lead a team in Natural Language Processing. I am also co-PI of the Insight Centre for Data Analytics where I lead the Smart Enterprise demonstrator program and co-lead the Multi-modal Data Analysis research program, which brings together interdisciplinary research from across the Insight Centre in close collaboration with industry partners. My main research interests are in the development and use of Natural Language Processing methods for knowledge extraction and semantic-based information access. I have been involved in a large number of national and international funded projects in this area.
