DASISH

DASISH brings together all 5 ESFRI research infrastructure initiatives in the social sciences and humanities (SSH): CLARIN, DARIAH, CESSDA, ESS and SHARE. The goal of DASISH is to determine areas of cross-fertilization and synergy in the infrastructure development all five communities are entering into as of the beginning of 2012 and to work on concrete joint activities related to data, such as data access, data sharing, data quality, and data archiving. Synergy can also be achieved by working together on solutions regarding legal and ethical aspects. Consortium partners are: Göteborgs Universiteit; Max Planck Institute; Kovenhavns Universitet, Koninklije Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen-Knaw; King’s College London; Georg-August-Universitaet; Oesterrichsche Akademie der wissenschaften; University of Essex; Tampereen Ylipisto; Norsk Samfunnvitenskapelig Datatjeneste; The City University; GESIS – Leibniz Institut fur Sozialwissenchaften; National University of Ireland; Universitetet i Bergen; Universitat Mannheim; Universita Ca’Foscari Venezia; Stichting Centerdata; Tartu Ulikool. (http://dasish.eu/).

 

CLARA

CLARA Initial Training Network for Common Language Resources and their Applications, has started its activities on 1st of December, within the context of the Marie Curie programme of the EU 7th Framework Programme ( Marie Curie Initial Training Network 7FP-ITN-238405). The objective of the CLARA network is to launch the training of a new generation of experts in linguistics that can develop methods of research for the construction, the use and the applications of language resources. The scientific objectives of CLARA are to go in greater depth into the creation of linguistic models based on real data that are then analysed with statistical and machine-learning tools, and on the hybridisation of techniques and methods of analysis. CLARA will fund a total of 17 training grants in different areas related to the creation, the use, and the applications of language resources. The calls will be being made public on the web page of the project (http://clara.uibo.no) and in Euraxess (http://ec.europa.eu/euraxess)

 

METANET4U

METANET4U: Enhancing the European Linguistic Infrastructure, (2011-2013), funded by UNER - Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Program, (CIP-PSP-270893). The central objective of the METANET4U project is to contribute to the establishment of a pan-European digital platform that makes available language resources and services, encompassing both datasets and software tools, for speech and language processing, and supports a new generation of exchange facilities for them. The project will be developed by the following partners in a consortium: Universitat Pompeu Fabra, University of Lisbon, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, University de Manchester, University Alexandru Ioan Cuza, Insitutul de Cercetarri Pentru Inteligenta Artificiala and the University de Malta. (http://metanet4u.eu/).

 

PANACEA

PANACEA: Platform for the Automatic, Normalized Acquisition of Language Resources for Human Language Technologies, (2010-2012), funded by the Language Technologies Area, Information and Communication Technologies, of the 7th Framework Programme (7FP-ITC-248064). PANACEA will develop technologies for the automation of all stages involved in the acquisition, production, updating, validation and maintenance of Linguistic Technologies and Resources. The project, coordinated by our group, counts with the participation of Cambridge University, the Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale, Italy, the Institute for Language and Speech Processing, Greece, Dublin City University, Ireland and two companies, the german Linguatec and the french ELDA, Evaluation and Language Resources Distribution Agency (http://www.panacea-lr.eu).

Flarenet will indicate best practices and best policies for coordinating future actions and projects. The major activities of the Network will be to survey, analyse, classify LRs and relevant standards, together with their organisational and economic models, and discuss with major stakeholders and players upon new common strategies for a capillary deployment and use of LRs in real-world products.(http://flarenet.eu)

 

CLARIN

Clarin: Common Language Resources and Technologies Infrastructure, in Spain co-funded by the 7FP of the EU (FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2007-1-212230) and the Spanish Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia(CAC-2007-23) and Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (ICTS-2008-11 and ACI2009-0995). CLARIN is committed to establish an integrated and interoperable research infrastructure of language resources and its technology. It aims at lifting the current fragmentation, offering a stable, persistent, accessible and extendable infrastructure and therefore enabling eHumanities. clarin-es.iula.upf.eduonline lab at clarin-es-lab.org and www.clarin.eu

AAILE

Adquisición automática de información léxica (AAILE y AAILE2), funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture (HUM2004-05111-C02-01/FILO and HUM2007-61067/FILO). The goal of our research is to study the feasibility of the automatic acquisition of the information contained in computational lexicons from corpus. The methodology is by using syntactic restrictions to bias the data, checking the lexical representation against experimental observations. Eventually, what deserves our interest in this area is to understand the role of the syntactic and semantic constraints that operate in texts, and in the feasibility of acquiring related information. Finding how Machine Learning methods can capture them will allow us to improve both the applications aiming at automatic acquisition of lexical information as well as the representation of the lexicon itself.
