In that article we are going to talk about the different and the most important research topics which are relationated with the Human Language Technologies.
The German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence elaborates that themes in their research:
- Exploiting -and automatically extending-ontologies for content processing.
- tighter integration of shallow and deep techniques in processing.
- Enriching deep processing with stadistical methods.
- Combining language checking with structuring tools in document authoring.
- Document indexing for German and English.
- Automatically associating recognized information with related information and thus buiding up collective knowledge.
- Automatically structuring and visualizing extracted information.
- Processing information encoded in multiple languages, among them Chinese and Japanese
The Edimburgh Language Technology Group researh mainly in the following areas:
- Combining Shallow Semantics and Domain knowledge (EASIE).
- Text Mining for Biomedical Content Curation (TXM).
- Cross-retail multi-agent Retail Comparison (CROSSMARC).
- Smart Qualitative Data: Methods and Community tools for Data Mark-up (SQUAD).
- Machine Learning for named Entity Recognition (SEER).
- Integrated Models and Tools for Fine-Grained Prosody in Discourse (Synthesis).
- Joint Action Science and Technology (JAST).
- Study of how pairs colaborate when in plannig a route on a map (Collaborating using diagrams)
The Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence (OFAI) develop linguistic resources and processes as well as application prototypes:
- LINGUISTIC RESOURCES AND PROCESSES
- Typed unification-based grammar formalisms.
- Development of a HPSG-based grammar for German.
- Natural Language Generation.
- Speech Synthesis.
- Computational morphology.
- APPLICATION PROTOTYPES
- Natural Language interfaces and advisory systems.
- concept-to-speech systems.
