Aiding Web Searches by Statistical Classification Tools

We describe an infrastructure for the collection and management of large amounts of text, and discuss the possibility of information extraction and visualisation from text corpora with statistical methods. The paper gives an overview of processing steps, the contents of our text databases as well as different query facilities. Our focus is on the extraction and visualisation of collocations and their usage for aiding web searches.
