Call 4
In the Work Programme 2009-2010 Challenge 2: "Cognitive systems, Interaction, Robotics" has been split into two objectives: Objective 2.1: "Cognitive Systems and Robotics"
and
Objective 2.2: Language-based interaction
This objective focuses on new models, architectures and tools for effective data-driven, self-learning machine translation systems, including the provision of specific solutions for key application domains.
The Work Programme also foresees the creation of a networking action (Virtual Institute) which will reunite all the key players in the field to promote European research and exploitation of results, and bring together the machine translation research community and related disciplines, in particular knowledge management, semantic web, cognitive systems, (psycho-) linguistics, translation and computer science.
