ISLA-University of Amsterdam

The University of Amsterdam joins with researchers from the Informatics Institute (Faculty of Science).

The Intelligent Systems Laboratory Amsterdam (ISLA)  within the Informatics Institute focuses on processing information in pictorial, auditory and/or textual form.
ISLA is involved or has been involved in many national and EU funded projects, and collaborates with a large number of research groups, both nationally and internationally. Of special relevance for the present proposal are:

  • MultimediaN project on the development of multimedia information technology for usage in high-end applications (in media, intelligence, and heritage),
  • DuOMAn (Dutch Language Online Media Analysis), TNT (Tracking News Events and their Impact)
  • AID (Adaptive Information Disclosure) project on semantic access to scientific information within a virtual lab environment for e-science
  • MataHari project on machine translation from automatically harvested Internet resources.

The main tasks of UVA in GALATEAS will concern the adaptation of the MOSES MT system, and the tailoring of the various algorithm of log analysis.
