We are proud to announce that Kairntech wins a European Defense Fund (EDF) project. This call for projects received in total €1,031 million of EU funding.
Kairntech is a leading technology provider of the NEMO consortium which is led by Sintef AS (Norway). Over the course of this 5-year project NEMO will develop a state-of-the-art NLP platform for all European languages.
Each year, the platform will participate in a challenge organised as part of this winning European Defense Funding project. This challenge measures performance (quality of results, speed, carbon footprint, etc.) and benchmarks against to two other selected consortia.
Generative AI and Natural Language Processing for the battlefield
The digitalization of the battlefield leads to more and more complex user interfaces and to ever-increasing volumes of language data. Language technologies such as multilingual written or spoken interactions, translations, Information Extraction and Information Retrieval are needed for an increasing number of defense systems. C4ISR (Computerized Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence & Surveillance) and joint multinational and/or peacekeeping operations are particularely important.
Within the NEMO consortium, Kairntech supports automatic text analysis in an efficient and practical way. The following Natural Language Processing (NLP) features will be used:
- Named Entity Recognition (NER)
- Text classification
- Event detection
- Relationship extraction
- Question-answering (Retrieval Augmented Generation scenario – RAG).
A european defense project to deliver business value for homeland security
State-of-the-art language technologies in this project include GenAI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Large Language Models (LLMs). The extensive research will contribute to improve the compelling value proposition for homeland security partners that already use the Kairntech platform.
Finally the project contributes to the creation of a European library of generic and adaptive human language technology components that offer high performances for several defence applications.
