Technology
Research results lead to open source software and solutions for the industry.
The HLT unit develops state-of-the-art technology in all the main research areas it operates in. The group has performed consistently well in several international evaluations, and is currently engaged in international projects for open source software development (e.g. the Moses platform for statistical machine translation). Research on speech recognition also meets the highest standards, and has reached the application market in several occasions.
Moreover, people of the unit are key-players of many international initiatives around evaluation and benchmarking. HLT provides technological support and high-level services in order to optimize the activities of the Research Unit. Providing a shared and efficient environment, specific for the HLT issues, ranges from the management of special hardware equipments and software tools, up to the creation and management of large scale linguistic resources.
