Research Topics (Q.2)

     Here are some ofthe research topics of three European research centers:

     First of all, The German Language Technology Lab., which themes are elaborated in research, development and commercial projects:

  • Exploiting- and automatically extending- ontologies for content processing.
  • Tighter integration of shallow and deep techniques in processing.
  • Enriching deep processing with statistical methods.
  • Combining language checking with structuring tools in document authoring.
  • Document indexing for German and English.
  • Automatically associating recognize information with related information and thus building up collective knowledge.
  • Automatically structuring and visualizing extracted information.
  • Processing information encoded in multiple languages, among them Chinese and Japanese.

  

      Secondly, we can mention the projects of The Edinburgh Lnguage Technology Group, which conducts research and development in different areas.

  • Combining shallow semantics and domain knowledge.
  • Text mining for Biomedicational Content Curation.
  • Cross- retail Multi- agent Retail Comparison.
  • Smart Qualitative Data: methods and Community Tools for Data Mark-up.
  • Machine Learning for Name Entity Recognition.
  • Named entity tagging of historical parliamentary proceedings.
  • Integrated Models and Tools for Fine- Grained Prosody in Discourse.
  • Joint Action Science and Technology.
  • AMI consortion projects that are developing technologies for meeting browsing and to assit people participating in meetings from a remote location.
  • Study of how pairs collaborate when in planning a group on a map

 

       And finally,  The National Centre for Language, which research areas are the following ones:

  • CALL Computer Assisted Language Learning: Integrating CL/NLP/HLT Technology into CALL, CALL for Endangered Languages, CALL for Primary School Environments, CALL for Remedial Learners.
  • Corpus Linguistics: Collocation, Contrastive Computational Linguistics, Corpus- based Traslation Studies.
  • Machine Translation and Translation Technology: SMT, RBMT, EBMT, TMs, MAT, CAT.
  • Treebank- Based Unification Grammar Acquisition: Automatic Feature Structure Annotation Algorithms, Subcategorisation Frame Straction,…
  • Semantics: Discourse Representation Theory, Linear- Logic Based Semantics, Computational of Logic Forms from Treebanks, Open- Domain Question Answering Systems.
  • Speech Technology: Speaker Characterisation, Audio Classification, Retrieval and Coding, Human Computer Interfaces (HCIs).
  • Multilingual Information Retrieval/Extraction.
  • Language Evolution.
