Revision: 1.3
The objective for ATOLL is to explore several research issues during
this work in the area of parsing and acquisition. We also wish to
establish a methodology that may used to deal with other corpus of
encyclopedic information and other domains than botanic. Beside the
research effort, this project will imply the development of prototypes
and, hopefully, the creation of resources (structured corpus,
terminology, conceptual structure, database). It may be noted that,
among of different tools that are needed, one should think to the
validation tools for the human supervisors.
We consider that this project requires a long term commitment of, for
instance, a PhD student to coordinate the different tasks and to
dialog with all the involved communities (botanists and computational
linguists).
