Program Objective:
The Translingual Information Detection, Extraction and
Summarization (TIDES) program is developing advanced language
processing technology to enable English speakers to find and interpret
critical information in multiple languages without requiring knowledge
of those languages.
Program Strategy:
Conduct research to develop effective algorithms for detection,
extraction, summarization, and translation -- where the source data
may be large volumes of naturally occurring speech or text in multiple
languages.
Measure accuracy in rigorous, objective evaluations. Outside
groups are invited to participate in the annual Information Retrieval,
Topic Detection and Tracking, Automatic Content Extraction, and
Machine Translation evaluations run by NIST.
Integrate core capabilities to form effective text and audio
processing (TAP) systems. Experiment with those systems on real data
with real users, then refine and iterate.
Planned Accomplishments:
- FY 02: Improve core detection, extraction, and
summarization algorithms. Experiment with effective ways to integrate
those core capabilities in text and audio processing (TAP)
systems.
- FY 03: Demonstrate initial machine translation capabilities
employing novel approaches. Transition effective TIDES technology into
the Information Awareness Office\'s Total Information Awareness (TIA)
program.
