The Latvian language in the digital age

Více o knize

This white paper is part of a series aimed at enhancing understanding of language technology and its potential. It targets educators, journalists, politicians, language communities, and others. The availability and use of language technology in Europe varies by language, necessitating tailored actions to support research and development for each one. These actions depend on factors like language complexity and community size. META-NET, a Network of Excellence funded by the European Commission, has analyzed current language resources and technologies, focusing on 23 official European languages and other significant national and regional languages. The analysis reveals substantial research gaps for each language. A thorough expert assessment of the current landscape will help optimize the impact of further research while mitigating risks. META-NET comprises 54 research centers across 33 countries collaborating with stakeholders from various sectors, including business, government, industry, research organizations, software companies, technology providers, and universities. Together, they are establishing a unified technology vision and developing a strategic research agenda to address identified research gaps by 2020.
