The Information Retrieval and Management Research Group is part of the Information Processing Laboratory directed by professor Theodore Kalamboukis.
The group supports basic and applied research in the field of information retrieval from large textural databases through R&D projects. Also, contributes to the educational activities of the informatics program both on undergraduate and post-graduate levels.
The current research activities of the group concentrate on:
- Document Management
- Information Retrieval, Cross Language Retrieval, Text Categorization
- Web Applications
- e-Learning
