The MATE project aims to facilitate re-use of language resources by addressing the problems of creating, acquiring, and maintaining language corpora. The problems are addressed along two lines: through the development of a standard for annotating resources; through the provision of tools which will make the processes of knowledge acquisition and extraction more efficient. Specifically, MATE will treat spoken dialogue corpora at multiple levels, focusing on prosody, (morpho-) syntax, co-reference, dialogue acts, and communicative difficulties, as well as inter-level interaction. |

Open Language Archives Community (OLAC) A metadata initiative for language data and NLP tools |
an international partnership of institutions and individuals; creating a worldwide virtual library of language resources by: (i) developing consensus on best current practice for the digital archiving of language resources, and (ii) developing a network of interoperating repositories and services for housing and accessing such resources. OLAC works in a simple way: linguistic archives or individual linguists ("Data Providers") describe their resources using the simple OLAC metadata format. This metadata is then electronically "harvested" by "Service Providers" which make the information available to users in the form of a searchable database. Even if the resource itself is not available on the internet (a collection of cassettes, for example), people will still be able to find out what resources exist and where to find them. * Has a search facility covering the resource catalogs of LDC, ELRA and the ACL/DFKI Natural Language Software Registry, and permits single searches to be applied to all catalogs simultaneously. The OLAC cross-archive search engine now harvests 11,000+ records from 12 OLAC archives. |

LE-PAROLE (Language Engineering - Preparatory Action for Linguistic Resources Organization for Language Engineering) |
The European PAROLE project aimed to create a large-scale harmonised set of "core" corpora and lexica for over a dozen West European languages in compliance with common guidelines. 14 Western European language groups participated in the PAROLE project. Language corpora and lexica were built according to the same design and composition principles, in the period 1996-1998. For each of these languages, the project has resulted in a 20-million-word text corpus composed according to similar design principles and TEI encoded according to the PAROLE DTD. 250,000 words are POS encoded. Another product of the PAROLE project is a set of harmonised lexica containing a minimum of 20,000 entries provided with morphosyntactic and syntactic information. |

NLP at New York University; focus on the application areas of Information Extraction and Machine Translation; long-term goal is to build systems that automatically find the information you're looking for, pick out the most useful bits, and present it in your preferred language, at the right level of detail. One of our main challenges is to endow computers with linguistic knowledge. The kinds of knowledge that we have attempted to encode include vocabularies, morphology, syntax, semantics, grounding, genre variation, and translational equivalence. We work on both deterministic and stochastic knowledge models |

SPARKLE (Shallow PARsing and Knowledge extraction for Language Engineering) |
The first goal of SPARKLE is to produce generic software able to reliably produce a unique, correct but simple phrasal-level syntactic analysis of naturally-occurring free text. This software will be capable of practical use for processing of substantial quantities of such (corpus) material. Such phrasal-parsers will be generic in the sense that they aim to be compatible with a variety of extant approaches to lemmatisation, morphological analysis and lexical syntactic tagging and aim to be straightforwardly parameterisable for different (European) languages. The second goal is to develop a lexical acquisition system capable of learning subcategorisation, argument structure and semantic selection preferences for individual predicates from free text containing instances of such predicates. The lexicon acquisition system will also be developed as a parameterisable multilingual software tool incorporating language-independent and-dependent linguistic knowledge concerning membership of predicates in broad semantic classes, (diathesis) alternations, the linking of arguments to thematic relations. |

VISL project (Visual Interactive Syntax Learning) |
a research and development
project at the Building on a complex web of HTML-pages, CGI-scripts, Java- and Perl-programs, manually annotated text data bases, and Constraint Grammar (CG) tools for automatic analysis, the VISL internet site offers a graphic interface which allows the user, for a wide variety of languages, to analyse corpus examples, textbook material and free running text in an interactive way - choosing between full automatic parsing and guided manual analysis on various levels of complexity. At the core of the analyses, whether manual or automatic, is a clear distinction between form and function on the word, group, and clause levels. Although the automatic grammatical description is based on CG, it can be transformed to different user-specified notational systems, such as tree structures, tagged running text or in-text color codes. |
