We discuss the development of a multilingual lexicon linked to a formal ontology. First we describe the Open Multilingual Wordnet, a multilingual wordnet with twenty two languages and a rich structure of semantic relations. It is made by exploiting links from various monolingual wordnets to the English Wordnet. Currently, it contains 118,337 concepts expressed in 1,643,260 senses in 22 language...

Our proposed “Language Grid” infrastructure supports multilingual communication by combining in new way language resources, such as machine translators, morphological analyzers, and dictionaries specific to user communities. We developed the Language Grid as a language infrastructure on the Internet. The Language Grid enables user communities to combine two or more machine translators and their...

Most efforts at automatically creating multilingual lexicons require input lexical resources with rich content (e.g. semantic networks, domain codes, semantic categories) or large corpora. Such material is often unavailable and difficult to construct for under-resourced languages. In some cases, particularly for some ethnic languages, even unannotated corpora are still in the process of collect...

To enable concept-based cross-lingual text retrieval (CLTR) using multilingual text mining, our approach will first discover the multilingual concept–term relationships from linguistically diverse textual data relevant to a domain. Second, the multilingual concept–term relationships, in turn, are used to discover the conceptual content of the multilingual text, which is either a document contai...

Design patterns support extraction of design information for better program understanding, reusability and reengineering. With the advent of contemporary applications, the extraction of design information has become quite complex and challenging. These applications are multilingual in nature i.e. their design information is spread across various language components that are interlinked with eac...

The aim of this paper is to review the Mathematics Grammar Library (MGL) approach to multilingual mathematics and to present gfsage, a prototype of a multilingual interface to Sage. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 68N18. 68T30, 68T50, 68W30.

We present the semantic multilingual question answering engine of the TRUST project, describing its overall architecture, its common multilingual resources, as well as the specific resources, tools and processing mechanisms implemented for the development of the Portuguese language module.

In-car infotainment and navigation devices are typical examples where speech based interfaces are successfully applied. While classical applications are monolingual, such as voice commands or monolingual destination input, the trend goes towards multilingual applications. Examples are music player control or multilingual destination input. As soon as more languages are considered the training a...
