With support, both for basic research (through NSF) and applied research and
development (through the EU), the much.more
project provides a framework in which at the same time existing
technologies can be integrated and refined and new technologies
can be developed.
what it does
much.more
will carry out the following tasks:
Research regarding the
effective combination of statistical, knowledge-based
and heterogeneous approaches and resources and their integrated
use for cross-lingual information access and management,
including performance evaluation for realistic information
access tasks.
Research and technology
development concerning the automated acquisition and effective
use of domain-specific concept hierarchies and corresponding
multi-lingual linguistic resources (parallel and comparable
corpora).
Demonstration of a cross-lingual
information access prototype system for the medical domain,
and user evaluation of the system to ensure usability
for real-life tasks.
main tasks
The cross-lingual information access prototype
system for the medical domain will be made publicly accessible
through the internet. It provides access to multilingual information
on the basis of a domain ontology and classification. For the
main task of multilingual domain modelling, the project will focus
on German and English.
