Project Introduction
Six leading institutes in natural language processing (NLP) have started to build the Asian Language Treebank (ALT) for English, Indonesian, Japanese, Khmer, Malay, Myanmar, and Vietnamese. English Wikinews texts were then translated into these languages. Linguistic information such as word segmentation, part-of-speech tagging, and syntax trees will be annotated. Word alignment information among these languages will be assigned too. ALT will be the foundation of the research and development of NLP tools and applications, such as Speech-to-Speech Machine Translation.
