GETALP
The Study Group for Machine Translation and Automated Processing of Languages and Speech is a research team of the Laboratory of Informatics of Grenoble (LIG) (UMR CNRS/INPG/UJF 5217).
The goal of the GETALP is to contribute significantly to the emergence of ubilingual computing, in the context of the development of ubiquitous computiing. This goal requires to carry out researches, often pluridisciplinary, in computer sciences, in linguistics and psycholinguistics, in semantics (link with ontologies), in pragmatics (for the dialogue), and in signal and speech processing.
The GETALP team is organized around five main research topics:
- Topic 1 : Machine Translation (MT) and Computer-Aided Translation (CAT)
- Topic 2 : Natural Language Processing (NLP) and associated platforms
- Topic 3 : Linguistic Data Resources Collection and Construction
- Topic 4 : Information Systems Localization
- Topic 5 : Automatic Recognition of Speech, Speakers, Sounds and Dialect
- Topic 6 : Sounds analysis and Interaction within Perceptive Environments
- make computer applications multilingual and "ubilingual"
- computerize under-resourced and rarely written languages by adapting existing resources
- make language-based communication multimodal (text, speech, gestures)
- propose and implement task-related evaluation methods and tools
- use contributive interaction to collect resources, improve translations, and communicate with "guaranteed meaning".
