  1. Military Relevance for TIDES Allen Sears CNRI TIDES Kick-off 22 March, 2000

  2. Program Goals 1. Develop radically new “machine translation” process and capability: DARPA Quick MT 2. Automatically retrieve information from total overload (10,000 communications and hour) of language sources e.g.: Web, audio broadcast, text documents, etc.: DARPA IDES Process 3. Develop a metrics-based evaluation framework used to enable experimental process and measure progress 4. Demonstrate relevance to military problem areas such as “detection and prevention of biological attack” 5. Develop new concepts of operation require multilingual capability, such as HA/DR/CM (Humanitarian Assistance / Disaster Relief / Consequence Management)

  3. Exercise Strong AngelJune 2000 The scenario… Humanitarian Assistance • Increasing violence against Green minority in Orange • Green minority refugees massing in border mountains • Ethnic Green crossing into Green, though Orange citizens • Live bomblets found near roads • Basics in short supply • water, shelter, medical care Hawaii

Prepare the way for technology transition. • Realistic Problems: PacTIDES Experiment for HA/DR in June ‘00 • Real Data: TIDES Portal pulling on real data from FBIS shown by June ‘00.

  7. Summary: Military Relevance Objectives • Longer - term Technical objectives : • Provide automatic language translation for selected material from Web, text, and audio sources. (Mandarin Chinese is focus in 2001) • Assist military and intelligence analysts with automatic extraction and filtering of information from language sources.
