We seek to develop an Integrated and Distributed Software Platform for Text Mining, Semantic Web, Machine Learning. Students are invited to carry out applied research in optimizing existing Natural Language Processing (NLP) platforms such as Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) and other tools to be integrated for real-time big data processing. We apply this technology to High-Frequency, Real-Time Complex Event Processing (CEP), including in Finance, Healthcare, and Cybersecurity. The applications are not industrial grade but will serve as demo to recruit external partners.
