About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a federal contract award from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) under DARPA's Low Resources Languages for Emergency Incidents (LORELEI) program. The goal of LORELEI is to advance computational linguistics and human language technology to enable rapid, low-cost development of capabilities for low-resource languages.

Under this $9,859,505 definitive contract, CMU will create universal typological inventories of orthography, phonology, morpho-syntax, and event semantics, and formalize them to be used in CMU's Analysis of Rare Incident-Event Languages (ARIEL) framework, named entity recognition, machine translation, and speech components. CMU will also develop software tools and interfaces for creation and management of the inventories.

The contract is not set aside for any specific business type. CMU has subcontracted portions of the work to organizations including Leidos, Inc., the University of Melbourne, and the University of Washington. As a leading research university, CMU's expertise in areas like artificial intelligence, robotics, and computational linguistics make it well-positioned to support DARPA's goals for advancing language technology capabilities.

Description

As the agency reported it.

Carnegie mellon university's (CMU) award under DARPA's low resources languages for emergency incidents (LORELEI). The goal of the LORELEI program is to dramatically advance the state of computational linguistics and human language technology to enable rapid, low-cost development of capabilities for low-resource languages. CMU will be a technical area 1.4 performer and will create universal typological inventories of orthography, phonology, morpho-syntax, and event semantics; formalize the inventories so that they can be consumed by CMU's analysis of rare incident-event languages (ARIEL) framework, NER, machine translation and speech components, and to create software tools and interfaces for creation and management of the inventories.
