Agile and robust human language technologies for defence – Participation to a technological challenge
FUNDING OPPORTUNITY
Financing entity European Commission
Programme European Defence Fund
Type of action EDF-LS EDF Lump Sum Grants
Call Call for EDF research actions, in the form of a technological challenge, implemented via lump sum grants (EDF-2023-LS-RA-CHALLENGE)
Objectives of the call
The proposals should address technological solutions to process linguistic
information in its different forms, i.e. spoken and written (handwriting, printed
documents or typed text), in order to recognise, understand and translate it. These solutions should be evaluated in the framework of the technological challenge organised under this call topic. The proposals should in particular address the issue of user-driven system adaptation, i.e. the ability of systems to learn from user supervision without intervention from developers and without regression in terms of performances. Technologies should be integrated into demonstrators with userfriendly interfaces and be easy to integrate into other defence systems.
