Intelligent Services
Semantics of Cross-border Government Services
OHIM and DG Employment, pioneers in directly servicing citizens EU-wide, show how they use LT to deliver on the semantic layer of interoperability.
The Intelligent Enterprise
Business & Finance, Discovery, Risk Management & Compliance, Sales & Marketing, Operations & Performance, Publishing & Knowledge
Language Technology is at the heart of the Intelligent Enterprise, supporting and enhancing business management, operations and sales & marketing. Today companies achieve significant operational benefits, competitive advantage, and market opportunities through use of LT-enabled products and services. Tomorrow, the evolution and integration of LT-based functions will determine winners and losers in many industries, particularly those with large customer-facing operations, or who operate in international and multilingual markets.
Intelligent Helpers
Virtual Assistants, Avatars, Robots, Personal Productivity, Searchers & Recommenders, Cars & Phones
Language Technology in services is complemented by “personal” language technology embedded in the devices and interfaces of users. Today speech interfaces are relatively common (at least in major European languages), the use of online avatars is exploding, there are dozens of personal assistant and translation apps for mobile devices, and there is growing interest in the potential for intelligent physical robots as personal companions and helpers. Tomorrow consumers will expect integrated support for finding, using and communicating information in familiar, device-neutral modes, without language barriers.
Intelligent Skills
Education & Training, Skills for Business, People & their Languages
Language Technology enables multilinguality and the development of language skills needed by EU citizens, and workers in the global economy; LT also supports learning environments in general. Today language-learning products are being transformed through the use of innovative LT features. Today training and educational systems of all types are being enhanced through speech interfaces, and the intelligent matching of learning materials and learning styles. Tomorrow multilinguality and LT will be baked into the digital environments of citizens, workers and consumers, making language learning and cross-language communication a rich mix of personal and digital intelligence.
Intelligent Healthcare
Doctors & Patients, Access to Medical Knowledge, Science & Discovery
Language Technology in healthcare and the life sciences is one of the fastest growing parts of the LT industry. Managing complex scientific data on the one hand and equally complex clinical data on the other is a compelling challenge, made even more so by the need to communicate effectively with patients. Today LT makes physicians and healthcare delivery organisations more efficient. Today pharmaceutical and bio-science companies mine scientific data using LT for faster and safer drug development. Today patients expect clear diagnostic information, and efficient communication with practitioners. Tomorrow healthcare and life sciences will share seamless access to medical and scientific data using commonly accepted models mapped to terminology in many languages, used by many different types of systems. Tomorrow patients will expect more control over their personal medical data, and the ability to transport and use it in the ways they want, to communicate it, and about it, across language barriers, all in secure and reliable environments.
