DBMT is researched here in the context of future systems for the general public, where a monolingual author wants to translate into several languages. We have produced a complete mock-up, LIDIA-1, which demonstrates how a French HyperCardTM stack could be translated into German, Russian and English. We present the computational, linguistic and ergonomic aspects of the mock-up, and discuss them ...

We introduce SAPIENS, a platform for extracting quotations from news wires, associated with their author and context. The originality of SAPIENS is that it relies on a deep linguistic processing chain, which allows for extracting quotations with a wide coverage and an extended definition, including quotations which are only partially quotes-delimited verbatim transcripts. We describe the archit...

The paper is introducing a research aiming to analyze rhythm in various genres of texts.
