AnaWiki
I joined the AnaWiki research project in November 2007 based at the University of Essex. Its goal is to address the lack of resources available
for training systems in text recognition (used by search engines like Google) by using volunteers on the web.
Phrase Detectives
We collect data from volunteers in a game called
Phrase Detectives. The players read text and
provide information about how words and phrases refer to each other.
Citizen Science
Volunteer contributions have become an increasingly important area of the Internet. The combined
efforts of thousands of volunteers can complete tasks that were previously impossible.
Publications
The project has been presented at ACL, LREC, Flatlands, iSemantics, STEP, Webcentives and WWW (please see the
list of publications).
