Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Natural Language Processing is developing rapidly both as a technology and within applications, both being driven by the WWW. These developments increase the need for large-scale, reliable and efficient software engineering in the NLP systems; increasing collaborative multi-site research and development, and an increased focus on evaluation of the technology.In the GATE project (General Architecture for Text Engineering) we have developed (1) an architecture, development and delivery environment for NLP systems, and (2) an IE system that competes successfully with the best in the world. The architecture is now in use for many projects on 4 continents.This project - GATE 2 - will extend (1) with distributed processing and document management across Inter/Intranets, further reducing integration and experimentation overheads; and providing support for Information Retrieval, machine Translation, dialogue and multimedia document processing, and experimentation with Speech Processing; as well as provision of a new distribution mechanism for lexical resources. The architecture, as a whole, will give the sort of foundation in the UK that DARPA-related US NLP projects enoy, and will be enable a range of experimental NLP advances, in Sheffield and within a growing user community, at low cost.
