Challenge 4: Technologies for Digital Content and Languages -- ICT-2013.4.1 Content analytics and language technologies, STREP, CSA

Digital content remains the material basis for a multilingual knowledge based society. However the explosive growth of digital content (both structured and unstructured) makes it important for European citizens and organisations to learn to manage it effectively and to extract from it maximum value in terms of private or public, personal or organisational decision making, planning and management.

The focus of Challenge 4 is on:

• exploring and testing new approaches, methods and techniques to extract, interpret and exploit information from unstructured multilingual and/or multimedia sources, yielding actionable knowledge;
• developing and testing in realistic operating conditions new algorithms and software frameworks to analyse, interact and visualize extremely large volumes of data in real time;
• supporting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) developing innovative applications in structured and unstructured digital content management and, particularly, in the reuse of open data.

Support actions for road-mapping are also envisaged to prepare the constituencies for bringing together research and innovation aspects in Horizon 2020.

Challenge 8: ICT for learning and Access to Cultural resources -- ICT-2013.8.1 Technologies and scientific foundations in the field of creativity, IP/STREP, CSA
