Abstract

Today, when we are surrounded by intelligent digital devices – computers, tablets and mobile phones, we expect communication with these devices in a natural language. Moreover, such communication needs to be in our native language. We also expect that language technologies will not only assist us in everyday tasks, but also will help to overcome problems caused by language barriers. This keynote will focus on language resources and tools that facilitate use of languages of three Baltic countries – Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian -in digital means (computers, tablets, mobile phones), allow to minimize language barriers, facilitate social inclusion, and support more natural human-computer interaction, thus making digital services more “human”. Current situation, technological challenges and most important achievements in language technologies that help to narrow technological gap, facilitates use of natural language for interaction between computer and human, and minimize threat of digital extinction will be presented.
