Foreign Language Rapid Response (FLRR)
Abstract
The Foreign Language Rapid Response (FLRR) program will develop the capability to rapidly construct human language technologies for foreign languages. Historically, exploiting foreign language materials required protracted effort and as a result systems exist only for languages in widespread use and in high demand. The military operates globally and frequently encounters less common low-resource languages for which no automated human language technology capability exists. FLRR technologies will identify the commonalities between a newly-encountered low-resource language and high-resource languages and will identify language universals to rapidly re-purpose existing language technologies to the low-resource language. This will enable the rapid creation of automated language technology systems for cross-language intelligence and strategic communications.
