Our Research
Ill Inc. began as a research consortium of academic and industry professionals, working in areas which require text analysis on a grand scale. As an eclectic gathering of Linguists, Attorneys, Subject-Matter Experts, Research Specialists, Programmers and others, we hold in common the idea that the most productive methods result from the combined expertise and insight from a variety of fields. Collaborative research is paramount to us here at IllInc. We pride ourselves as being an outlet for sharing knowledge, scholarship, projects, and data with a larger community of researchers and investigators.
Here are a few of our favorite collaborators:
