Developing Language Technologies with the Support of Language Resources and Evaluation Programs

摘要

The role of language resources and language technology evaluation is now recognized as being crucial for the development of written and spoken language processing systems. Given the increasing challenge of multilingualism in Europe, the development of language technologies requires a more internationally distributed effort. This paper first describes several recent and on-going activities in France aimed at the development of language resources and evaluation. We then outline a new project intended to enhance collaboration, cooperation, and resource sharing among the international language processing research community.
