Project Overviews
Bailando means dancing in Spanish. The goal of the
UC Berkeley BAILANDO projects is to make access to information seem as
graceful and effortless as the dances that we have named our
projects after. That is, we want to provide BAILANDO or "Better Access
to Information using Language Analysis and New Displays and
Organizations".
The individual projects range from a search interface for intranets, to
text data mining and automated evaluations of webpages. The unifying
theme for these projects is to help people find, use, understand and
create the information they need. The underlying philosophy behind these
projects is that a strong focus on user interfaces and robust language
analysis leads to better information access systems, and furthers our
understanding of how people use and understand such systems.
