LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
The Language Technology project will develop human language technologies to provide critical capabilities for a wide range of national security needs ranging from knowledge management to low-resource language understanding. Foreign-language news broadcasts, web-posted content, and foreign-language hard-copy documents could provide insights regarding regional and local events, attitudes and activities, if there was a system that could automatically process large volumes of speech and text in multiple languages obtained through a variety of means. The project develops technologies to automatically translate, collate, filter, synthesize, summarize, and present relevant information in timely and relevant forms. In addition, current U.S. military operations often require warfighters on the ground to understand speech and text in foreign languages for which there may be no available linguists. The Language Technology project is addressing these diverse requirements by developing core language processing technologies and integrating these technologies into operational prototypes suitable for use in the field.
