eVikings II WP3: Language Technologies

HLT Human Language Technologies (HLT) play a crucial role in the Information Society For small languages it is a question of survival - in next 100 years 50-90% of languages will be dying out (Atlas of the World Languages in Danger of Disappearing, UNESCO 2001)

WP3: HLT Objective of WP3 is supporting of HLT research in Estonia by development of: –human resources –material resources (research infrastructure) –re-usable language resources –software How?

HLT in Estonia Laboratory of Phonetics and Speech Technology at IOC Computer Linguistics’ group at the Tartu University HLT group at the Institute of Estonian Language Written language Spoken language

Research activities UT: text corpora, morphologic, syntactic and semantic analysis, dialogue modelling IEL: text corpora, electronic dictionaries, morphologic analysis, text-to-speech synthesis IOC: phonetics, speech corpora, text-to-speech synthesis, speech and speaker recognition Re-usable language resources Algorithms and techniques

HLT progress Re-usable language resources Algorithmsandtechniques mature for applications mature for applications Many products and services EU languages: Re-usable language resources Algorithmsandtechniques under developmen t Few products and services Estonian:
