This paper reports on the approaches and results for the collection, analysis, and processing of low-resource and endangered languages carried out under the Low-Resource Languages for Emergent Incidents (LORELEI) Program1. LORELEI was a multi-year research and development program designed to discover new methods of quickly ramping up human language technology capabilities for low-resource languages, grounded in situations such as humanitarian and disaster relief use cases. The goal was to advance human language technology methods to better enable rapid, low-cost development of capabilities, with a focus on developing methods that apply to languages of any type from any language family, thus eliminating the need to tailor specific technologies to a narrow set of input languages with specific typological characteristics. We report in detail on evaluation scenarios developed for the program.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
