Based on a novel approach inspired by the way the brain processes information, the cortical.io Retina converts text into a numerical representation of its meaning: a Semantic Fingerprint. With this paradigm shift, all Natural Language Processing operations are reduced to simple, direct comparisons of text, making our engine highly computationally efficient. The Retina can be fully automatically trained, on any topic, in any language and operated without any expertise in NLP. The Retina is the first semantic engine that painlessly handles the avalanche of text data that global businesses must cope with.

Linghub: Reconciling Heterogeneous Metadata about Language Resources
Metadata about language resources is vital for finding resources for building state-of-the-art content analytics systems, and information about the type and location of these resources has currently only been available from limited and distinct data sources. We present a new portal that combines and harmonizes metadata from multiple sources and makes it available to users through consistent discovery mechanisms based on linked data.

 

While some say that the language industry will become a high tech industry in the future, one can argue that through the prevalent use of TMs, Web-based tools, micropayment, etc. it has already become one. While we do not want to play off proprietary against open-source software, we want to support the development of the latter for the language industry. But open-source projects usually do not run by themselves. They require well thought-through forms of organization fitting the respective community and type of project. A group of LSPs, researchers, and software developers has teamed up with industry practitioners and launched the project (OSELI) to support Open Source software development for the language industry as single Ecosystem. OSELI is unique initiative in the industry and we hope that will accelerate industry development, including Horizon 2020 agenda.
