Language technology comprises computational methods, computer programs and electronic devices that are specialized for analyzing, producing or modifying texts and speech. Accordingly with Hans Uszkoreit, these systems must be based on some knowledge of human language. In Hans Uszkoreit terms, software products are applicable on human languages and they are urgently needed […]

Speech recognition
22 de marzo, 2009 | Ayakari
Speech recognition converts spoken sounds (captured by a microphone) to readable words. It should not be confused with speaker recognition, which consists in identifying the person speaking by analyzing their voice. There are two types of speech recognition systems: discrete and continuous. The first requires that the separation between each word be marked clearly, whereas […]
YORICK WILKS, KONPUTAGAILUETAKO HIZKUNTZEN IKERLARIA
22 de marzo, 2009 | Rivas Ivan
Wilks Pembroke izeneko eskolan hezia izan zen (Cambridge), eta ordenagailuetako hizkuntza naturalak ikertzeko aitzindari garaikide bat izanik, hauen esanahien edukien funtsa ikertu zuen. Gure denboraldi goiztiarretik gertu geratzen den haren ekarpen nagusietariko bat, 1.970.urtean, “Preferentzia Semantikoak” izeneko lana izan zen. Hau da, metodo algoritmiko bat, esaldi bati interpretaziorik koherenteena ezartzeko, bere barrenean erreferentzien kopururik handiena […]
Human Language Technologies (Questionnaire 1)
21 de marzo, 2009 | María Losada
The Human Language Technologies (HLT), also known as Language Technologies or Natural Language Processing (NLP), are closely connected to computer science and linguistics. HLT enables people to interact with machines with more ease. We find an example of how HLT can help people: “This can benefit a wide range of people – from illiterate farmers […]
Starting
20 de marzo, 2009 | Eos Gonzalez
Hace unos días, para ser exactos, el martes tuvimos nuestra primera tutoría con Joseba Abaitua para hablar de que íba a tratar nuestro informe. El trabajo que vamos a realizar se basa en el estudio del castellano que se habla en Latino America y el que se habla en España.
De momento, tenemos una vaga idea […]

A new term begins and we start to know something about Languages Resources, a new subject given by Joseba Abaitua.
Yesterday, March 17th, the members of the team (Eos, Alba and me) met Joseba in his office. We have discussed the topic of our proyect but we need Joseba’s opinion. The chosen topic is an analysis […]
Automatic summarization
18 de marzo, 2009 | Ayakari
Automatic summarization is the process in which a computer creates an abridged version of any kind of text. As our generation faces an information overload, the ability to shorten documents in one instant has become of great interest. There are basically two different techniques for producing the summary: Extraction: Based on keywords and keyphrases. The […]
-GARRI eta -GOren lema
18 de marzo, 2009 | Txikerra
Artikulu berri honetan gure proiektuko bi atzizkiak aurkeztuko dizkizuet, baina oraingoan lemaren aldetik bakarrik. Hasi baino lehen, esan beharra dago bi atzizkiak, -GARRI eta -GO, izen-sortzaileak direla. Honek zera adierazten du: oinarriarekin bat egiten dutenean izenak sortzen dituztela. Baina -GARRIk izenak sortzeaz gain izenondoak ere sortzen ditu. -GARRI atzizki emankorraren lemari buruz hitz egitean bi […]
