What is Infolab?

What is Infolab?

The Infolab belongs to the Chair of Computer Science (formerly held by Prof. R.A. Meersman, currently vacant) and is part of the Faculty of Economics at Tilburg University. It performs research and development in the fields of knowledge representation, databases, information systems and artificial intelligence. Focal point in this research is the development of tools and methodologies for conceptual modelling for knowledge bases, using state-of-the-art techniques from object-oriented design, machine learning, qualitative reasoning and linguistics.
In particular, tools have been developed that allow the automated (computer-assisted) engineering of large or complex databases from semantic models. Also work is done on the linking of information systems design with natural language dialogue systems in the Institute for Language Technology and Artificial Intelligence. Recent work is aimed at developing tools for Computer-Supported Cooperative Work.
