The main goal of LACE (Language Acquisition from Comparable tExts) is to build language modules out of data automatically extracted from comparable corpora. The results are expected to be incorporated in the architecture of UNL-based systems as supplementary resources for natural language disambiguation, both in analysis and generation, and will be used for improving the performance of applications in machine translation, summarization, information retrieval and semantic reasoning.

The project LACE has been developed by the UNDL Foundation in collaboration with the Centre for Advanced Modelling Science (CADMOS), which includes researchers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).

The LACE website is a portal to the community of researchers and developers participating in the project. It comprises the documentantion of the project (research plan, schedule, reports), the main language resources (corpora, word lists) and some infrastructure for interaction and exchange (forum, wiki, project manager). Only registered users have access to the functionalities of the system. For further information about the project, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
