� Bien que les WP ne soient pas encore officiellement publiés, la mobilisation des

acteurs doit se faire maintenant afin de pouvoir monter dans des consortia ou de

lancer des idées et de monter des projets.

� Bien que les Work Programmes soient toujours officiellement à l’état de drafts, les

versions sont aujourd’hui fiables avec un convergences des textes qui ses stabilisent.

� Les premières recherches de partenaires apparaissent et les premiers consortia sont

déjà en cours de montage.

� La mobilisation des acteurs est aujourd’hui d’autant plus importante que les places

seront limitées et que face au rush, la mobilisation en amont est essentiel.

� Deuxième échelon : contenus

� Premier topic : Cracking the language barrier

- Objectives : Explore new avenues, methods, approaches to achieve significant

improvement in translation quality in fully automatic MT

- Approach :

• Self-learning/self-improving, fully automatic systems, making best use

of available data and language resources

• Systems dealing with huge volumes, high variety of languages and text

styles

• Systems delivering results in reasonable time

- European context and implications

• Emphasis on all (difficult, small) EU languages as target language

• Special focus on the EU languages "facing digital extinction"

• close collaboration and clustering with other H2020 actions and

among all actions supporting a language resource infrastructure

(META, CLARIN-ERIC, Connecting Europe Facility, national programs,

structural funds...)

a) Research and innovation project : One deep and broad research project

• kick off a multidisciplinary research action

• focus on points where current systems fail (adaptation, quality, need of

large corpora...)

10

• break the glass ceiling of quality improvement

a) Innovation projects:

• test, validate, evaluate quality improvement in realistic use situations,

e.g. online services

• address "poorly served" languages

• connect, contribute & make use of platforms and infrastructures for

language resources, open data…

b) One Coordination Action

• promote a common infrastructure for MT benchmarking, best

practices evaluation, interoperability, metadata harmonisation...

� Expected impact:

• By 2025, an online EU internal market free of language barriers, delivering

automated translation quality, equal to currently best performing language

pair/direction, in most relevant use situations and for at least 90% of the EU

official languages

• Significant improvement in quality, coverage and technical maturity of MT for

at least half of the 21 EU languages that currently have "weak or no support"

or "fragmentary support" of MT solutions, according to the META-NET

Language White Papers

• Large contributions of language resources and language technology tools to a

single platform for sharing, maintaining and making use of language

resources and tools; establishing widely agreed benchmarks for machine

translation quality and stimulating competition between methods and

systems

� Troisième échelon : Utilisation du contenu

� 2 topics dans cette thématique :

- Big data and Open Data Innovation and take-up

- Big data – research

� Il s’agit de 2 topics qui vont être extrêmement prisés. L’intérêt scientifique et l’impact

économique ou industriel qu’ils peuvent générer sont très alléchants pour les acteurs

européens.

14

� Troisième échelon : Utilisation du contenu

� Premier topic : Big data and Open Data Innovation and take-up

- Objectives: Help EU companies build innovative multilingual data products and

services by addressing systemic and technological barriers

a) Collaborative projects

i. Innovation project : Establishment of a EU integration and reuse

incubator for SMEs to foster the development of open data supply

chains (1 CP)

ii. Innovation project : Innovation and technology transfer projects in

multilingual data harvesting and analytics solutions and services

15

� Troisième échelon : Utilisation du contenu

� Deuxième topic : Big data Research

- Fundamental research in Big Data technologies, addressing analytics

• data mining

• machine learning

• language understanding

• Visualization

• Scalability

• Responsiveness

- User defined and industry validated challenges.

� Ce topic est prévu pour l’appel 2015

16

� Un consortium composés de profils différents et de différents niveaux d’implication.

Vous pouvez intervenir en tant que :

- End-users

- Sous-traitants

- Experts mondiaux

� L’excellence du consortium vient de sa complémentarité et pas uniquement de

l’excellence individuelle de chaque partenaires

� Vous pouvez aussi être impliqués de différentes façons en tant que porteur de

projets, porteurs d’idées ou porteur d’expertises.

17

� Quand on rencontre des entreprises ou des chercheurs, on s’aperçoit qu’il existe en

gros deux situations de départ typiques:

• Certains ont une idée précise et déjà un ou deux partenaires connus

• D’autres on une expertise à mettre à contribution

� Dans presque tous les cas, les gens préfèrent ne pas assumer la coordination des

projets. Mais il est aussi tout à fait possible de coordonner un projet.

� Dans ces deux cas de figure, il y a deux attitudes possibles.

18

� La voie passive, c’est se faire connaître du NCP (réunion, mail, téléphone) pour

présenter ses compétences. Le NCP veille et vous contact si une opportunité se

présente (recherche de partenaire,…)

� C’est pertinent si :

• Vous n’avez pas de projets prioritaire, de sujet urgent à creuser

• Vous êtes déjà actifs dans de nombreux projets

� Les risques :

• De laisser passer une opportunité (appel ouvert maintenant – après c’est trop

tard)

• De ne pas être prêt quand l’opportunité se présente (on vous contact)

19

� La voie active: la plus efficace (et ça rime)

1. Contacter le NCP pour signaler votre idée/compétence:

i. identification du topic/appel

ii. recherche de partenaire/coordinateur ciblée

2. Activer votre réseau wallon ou international pour manifester votre intérêt à déposer

un projet.

Commencer par la personne à côté de vous… il y a peut-être déjà quelqu’un qui

travaille sur un projet, connait un coordinateur

3. Participer à l’infoday et/ou aux autres événements de matchmaking organisés le plus

souvent à Bruxelles

i. vous donner une visibilité: présenter vos compétences/idée de projet pour

trouver des partenaires/un coordinateur

ii. serrer des mains

Si vous avez déjà une idée précise et des partenaires ou si vous voulez simplement

contribuer votre expertise à un projet plus large, cette voie est la plus efficace, sans

forcément nécessiter un gros investissement en temps de votre part. Le principal, c’est

d’identifier la bonne locomotive et de s’y accrocher au bon moment.
