META-NET has received funding from the EU for several projects related to language technologies, most recently the CRACKER project. The document outlines the history and development of META-NET's Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA), including versions 0.5, 0.9, and the current version 1.0 beta, which endorses the establishment of a Human Language Project to help overcome language barriers in Europe. A recent survey of over 600 language technology experts found strong support for a large-scale Human Language Project to achieve deep natural language understanding by 2030.
Language Resources for Multilingual EuropeGeorg Rehm
META-NET has received funding from the EU to support several language technology projects, including CRACKER, T4ME, CESAR, METANET4U, and META-NORD. It brings together over 60 research centers across 34 countries to build infrastructure for sharing language resources and tools. The goal is to improve the visibility, documentation, identification, availability, and interoperability of language resources in order to support both academic and commercial language technology research and development across Europe.

Human Language Technologies in a Multilingual EuropeGeorg Rehm
The document summarizes a presentation on human language technologies in a multilingual Europe. Some key points:
- There are 24 official EU languages and many regional/minority languages that have equal status but most are under-supported by language technologies and face digital extinction.
- The META-NET alliance coordinates language technology research across Europe but the field remains fragmented. There is a need for high-quality, deployable language technologies to support applications like translation, conversational interfaces, and a multilingual digital single market.
- A proposed "Multilingual Value Programme" would help enable the multilingual digital single market through technologies for translating, analyzing, processing and curating natural language content.

External controlled vocabularies support in Dataversevty
This presentation discusses adding support for external controlled vocabularies to the Dataverse data repository platform. It describes how ontologies like SKOS can be used to represent vocabularies and allow linking metadata fields in Dataverse to terms. The presentation proposes developing a Semantic Gateway plugin for Dataverse that would allow browsing and linking to external vocabularies hosted in the SKOSMOS framework via its API. This could improve metadata by allowing standardized, linked terms and help make data more FAIR.
The document discusses the IMPACT project, which is supported by the European Community and coordinated by the National Library of the Netherlands.

Mike Del Balso, CEO & Co-Founder at Tecton, presents "Full RAG," a novel approach to AI recommendation systems, aiming to push beyond the limitations of traditional models through a deep integration of contextual insights and real-time data, leveraging the Retrieval-Augmented Generation architecture. This talk will outline Full RAG's potential to significantly enhance personalization, address engineering challenges such as data management and model training, and introduce data enrichment with reranking as a key solution. Attendees will gain crucial insights into the importance of hyperpersonalization in AI, the capabilities of Full RAG for advanced personalization, and strategies for managing complex data integrations for deploying cutting-edge AI solutions.
AI 101: An Introduction to the Basics and Impact of Artificial IntelligenceIndexBug
Imagine a world where machines not only perform tasks but also learn, adapt, and make decisions. This is the promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a technology that's not just enhancing our lives but revolutionizing entire industries.
“An Outlook of the Ongoing and Future Relationship between Blockchain Technologies and Process-aware Information Systems.” Invited talk at the joint workshop on Blockchain for Information Systems (BC4IS) and Blockchain for Trusted Data Sharing (B4TDS), co-located with with the 36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE), 3 June 2024, Limassol, Cyprus.
Infrastructure Challenges in Scaling RAG with Custom AI modelsZilliz
Building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems with open-source and custom AI models is a complex task. This talk explores the challenges in productionizing RAG systems, including retrieval performance, response synthesis, and evaluation. We’ll discuss how to leverage open-source models like text embeddings, language models, and custom fine-tuned models to enhance RAG performance. Additionally, we’ll cover how BentoML can help orchestrate and scale these AI components efficiently, ensuring seamless deployment and management of RAG systems in the cloud.

9. Current Developments
q Multilingual Europe: our languages enjoy equal status yet digital
extinction of the majority of EU languages is a very severe danger.
q Language Technology Research and Innovation in Europe:
World class research results (e.g., in QT21), strong SME base,
thousands of LSPs; fragmentation; need for coordination.
q Digitisation of our Continent – Big need for HQ Language
Technologies: translation, personal assistants, MDSM etc.

investments in R&D and applications (mostly in the US and Asia)
– huge opportunity for Europe!
q The European Language Challenge cannot be abandoned or
outsourced!
Ø Need for Language Technology made in Europe for Europe!
