Grant Description: DARPA seeks strong, responsive proposals from well-qualified sources for a new language technology program called Multilingual Automatic Document Classification Analysis and Translation (MADCAT). The goal of this program is to automatically convert foreign language text images into English transcripts, thus eliminating the need for linguists and analysts while automatically providing relevant, distilled actionable information to military command and personnel in a timely fashion. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches and techniques that lead to or enable revolutionary advances in the state of the art. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in minor evolutionary improvement to the existing state of practice or focuses on special-purpose systems or narrow applications. See attachments for futher information.
