DemoSem

Deep models of Semantic Knowledge (DemoSem)

The project aims to design optimal deep models of assembled pieces of knowledge from corpora (syntagmatic relations) and lexicons (paradigmatic relations) with the help of the mathematical state-of-the-art methods, which include graph-based approaches and deep neural networks.

QTLEAP

qtleap logoQuality Translation by deep Language Engineering Approaches.

Machine translation is a computational procedure that seeks to provide the translation of utterances from one language into another language.

Research and development around this grand challenge is bringing this technology to a level of maturity that already supports useful practical solutions. It permits to get at least the gist of the utterances being translated, and even to get pretty good results for some language pairs in some focused discourse domains, helping to reduce costs and to improve productivity in international businesses.

The goal of QTLeap project is to research on and deliver an articulated methodology for machine translation that explores deep language engineering approaches in view of breaking the way to translations of higher quality.

EUCASES

Linking Legal Open Data in Europe.

EUCases was a collaborative Research Project supported by Seventh Framework Programme (FP7)funding. The project developed a unique pan-European law and case law Linking Platform transforming multilingual legal open data into linked open data after semantic and structural analysis. The web based EUCases Linking Platform provides services linking EU law and case law with legislative acts and court decisions of six EU member states: Austria, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Italy and United Kingdom.

CLEF

The CLEF Initiative (Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum, formerly known as Cross-Language Evaluation Forum) is a self-organized body whose main mission is to promote research, innovation, and development of information access systems with an emphasis on multilingual and multimodal information with various levels of structure.

Since 2000 the CLEF has played a leading role in stimulating investigation and research in a wide range of key areas in the information retrieval domain, becoming well-known in the international IR community. It has also promoted the study and implementation of appropriate evaluation methodologies for diverse types of tasks and media.
