The Information and Language Processing Systems group is part of the Intelligent Systems Lab Amsterdam at the Informatics Institute, University of Amsterdam.

Research within the ILPS group is at aimed intelligent information access, especially in the face of massive amounts of information. Addressing this task requires synergy between information retrieval techniques, language technology, and effective methods for dealing with semi-structured information.

We combine fundamental, experimental and applied research, and we do so using a broad range of textual data, from the web, from enterprises, feed-based, edited, user generated, or obtained from (automatic) transcriptions of audio or video.
