Babelscape is committed to carrying out research and develop technological innovation at the highest level in the field of multilingual Natural Language Understanding.
Research, projects & publications
All Babelscape products are the result of significant investments in Research & Development (R&D), and are comprised by the following macro-projects:
Large Language Models, with the goal of creating LLM systems that are multilingually scalable, secure and grounded.
Semantic Natural Language Understanding, with the central goal of devising novel approaches that can determine the meaning of text independently of the language they are written in, by associating words and phrases with concepts, entities, predicates and their arguments, meaning structure formalisms, relations, emotions and much more!
Personalizable Multilingual Knowledge Graphs, by creating large multilingual domain-oriented or need-oriented knowledge graphs starting from datasets and term banks.
TraDeInterpret, where we enable the semantic interpretation of strings (trademarks) across all EU languages depending on the Nice classes and the Goods & Services description of the trademark.
KnowGraphs, a scientific project involving 15 Early-Stage Researchers, 2 of which as Babelscape's employees.
Scientific projects
AtLaS - European Defence Framework
The AI-based Natural Language Processing of Low-Quality and Multilingual Data in Defence Applications with Self-Adaptation (AtLaS) project aims to revolutionize Human Language Technology (HLT) in Defence applications. Spearheaded by a diverse European consortium, AtLaS develops advanced HLTs for challenging Defence contexts, ensuring robust communication and seamless information processing. AtLaS focuses on creating resilient systems that withstand noise and handle multiple languages. Utilizing cutting-edge technologies like denoising and integrating neural networks with semantic knowledge, AtLaS creates solutions for effective communication in diverse Defence scenarios.
KnowGraphs - EU Initial Training Network
Knowledge graphs (KGs) are a flexible knowledge representation paradigm intended to allow knowledge to be consumed by humans and machines. KGs are widely regarded as a key enabler for a number of increasingly popular technologies including Web search, question answering, personal assistants and AI across most sectors including Industry 4.0, personalized medicine, legislation, economics and more. KGs are now used by several large companies as a key component of their data products. However, while they are rightly praised as a key technology for all future data-driven enterprises and regarded as a promising approach towards “blurring the lines between human and machine”, KGs are currently unattainable for the majority of companies and users.
