The NLP Research Data Base (NLP-RDB) is an ongoing project initiated by myself and coworkers at the University of Bielefeld and now presented in the www-net.

Its origin was in 1992 when we started collecting the world-wide available empirical studies relating to NLP to have them reviewed, systemized via keywords and presented in a data base format such that interested people from all over the world could get information about the actual level of international NLP research.

As it turned out, Bielefeld University was not in a position to offer general availability of the data base. So we started looking for alternative ways of presenting them to the public.

Thanks to the work of Franz-Josef Hücker and his Berlin crew, the RDB-NLP can now be accessed in the framework of the German NLP Internet Project.

If you want to have your work collected in this data base or if you know about research which is not yet presented here, please let us know via e-mail.
