EVALITA4ELG

Italian EVALITA Benchmark Linguistic Resources, NLP Services and Tools for the ELG platform

The Italian language is underrepresented in the European Language Grid platform, currently including few Language Technology services and corpora - mostly parallel corpora and multilingual dependency treebanks, focused on texts featured by standard forms and syntax. The goal of EVALITA4ELG is to enable the ELG users to access the resources and models for the Italian language produced over the years in the context of the EVALITA evaluation campaign. Our aim is to build the catalogue of EVALITA resources and tasks ranging from traditional tasks like POS-tagging and parsing to recent and popular ones such as sentiment analysis and hate speech detection on social media, and integrate them in the ELG platform. The project includes the integration of state-of-the-art LT services into the ELG platform, accessible as web services.
