AUEB's Natural Language Processing Group develops algorithms, models, and systems that allow computers to process and generate natural language texts. The group's current research interests include:

• natural language question-answering systems for document collections, databases, and ontologies,
• textual entailment and paraphrasing,
• text summarization, including query-focused summarization,
• generation of natural language documents from ontologies and databases,
• document categorization, including anti-spam e-mail filtering,
• natural language processing tools, such as named-entity recognizers and part-of-speech taggers,
• machine learning in natural language processing.

The group is part of the Information Processing Laboratory of the Department of Informatics of the Athens University of Economics and Business.

AUEB's Department of Informatics co-organized the 12th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL 2009), which was held in Athens from March 30 to April 3, 2009.
