In 2010 I co-founded with David Weir the Text Analytics Group (TAG) Research Laboratory. We are currently a team consisting of three post doctoral researchers (Daoud Clarke, Jeremy Reffin and Julie Weeds) and eight PhD students (Miroslav Batchkarov, Roland Davis, Thomas Kober, Matti Lyra, Jack Pay, Andrew Robertson, David Sheldrick David Spence, Joe Taylor and Simon Wibberley). In addition to conducting basic research in natural language processing we are involved in providing consultancy and software development for a number of organisations.
