The Implementation Approach

The main goal of GALATEAS is to assemble a set of innovative technologies in order to derive a simple and cost effective solution to the challenges raised by multilingual query log analysis and query translation.

To achieve that, GALATEAS proposes the development of a system based on the following three basic building blocks.

• The log analysis subsystem: it implements the LangLog service by providing language based log analysis;
• The MT training subsystem: It performs machine translation training based on received query logs;
• The query translation subsystem: It implements the QueryTrans service and translates queries into several languages by using the appropriately trained MT system.

The implementation approach is further described in the WP sections
