Research Mission
- Our group is dedicated to the computational exploration of language and its creative potential, from lexical phenomena such as Metaphor, Analogy, Metonymy, Polysemy, to complex social phenomena like Humour.
- As such, we build models of creative language use, and attempt to construct applications from these models.
- We are also striving to develop generalized models of creative linguistic behaviour.
- The resources that drive our research are the lexical ontologies WordNet and HowNet and the open-source encyclopaedia Wikipedia.
- Read or listen Tony Veale’s discussion of humour and metaphor on the radio show - PhilosophyTalk.
- The ZeitGeist system for harvesting creative neologisms from Wikipedia (using WordNet) has been reported in New Scientist magazine. You can read the on-line report here. You can also read a related article in Dutch from the web magazine Planet Internet here.
