Introducing Organization Knowledge Creating Communication Research Center
This center conducts research aimed at creating an environment in which communication can occur freely, at any time and any place, by anyone, about anything, and in any way, by developing universal communication technologies to overcome barriers of language, culture and ability for a truly heart-to-heart communication.
The goal of the Spoken Language Communication Group is to achieve natural communication regardless of who or where speakers are, when, how or in which language they speak, with the support of paralinguistic information such as intonation, facial expressions, and gestures.
While the language barrier between mother tongue and foreign language is a major challenge in the real world, the automatic translation is expected to play a key role to overcome this barrier. The Language Translation Group is developing a high-quality multi-lingual automatic translation technology, focusing a new core technology called Corpus-based Translation.
Language resources refer to a computer compatible dictionary or large amount of text with grammatical and semantic annotation. The Language Infrastructure Group develops, releases and disseminates the language resources and their application tools to contribute to the development of natural language processing technology including machine translation, dialog system, information retrieval and information extraction.
This group carries out research aimed at creating a living environment in which everyone can find reliable “information of wisdom” from the mixture of variable information in text, image or other form, and create and edit the content without difficulty for further utilization.
The role of the Project Promotion Office is to review the strategic planning of Center’s R&D and to support the research groups for a better research environment.
