Multilingual Automatic Document Classification, Analysis and Translation (MADCAT)
Abstract
The Multilingual Automatic Document Classification, Analysis and Translation (MADCAT) program will develop and integrate technology to enable exploitation of captured, foreign language, hand-written documents. This technology is crucial to the warfighter, as documents including notebooks, letters, ledgers, annotated maps, newspapers, newsletters, leaflets, pictures of graffiti, and document images captured in the field may contain extremely important time-sensitive information. The MADCAT program will address this need by producing devices that will convert such captured documents from Arabic into readable English in the field. MADCAT will substantially improve applicable technologies, in particular document analysis and optical character recognition/optical handwriting recognition. MADCAT will tightly integrate these improved technologies with translation technology and create prototypes for field trials.
