Research and development on multilingual AI
Tilde is a pivotal language technology research hub in the Baltic region with 30+ years of experience in European research projects and numerous local projects in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Our team of in-house researchers cooperate with leading European research centres to advance the state-of-the-art in areas of language technologies such as machine translation, conversational AI and dialogue systems, speech recognition and synthesis, and foundational language models.
In-depth research expertise areas
We innovate in domain-adapted, adaptive, and term-aware neural machine translation, developing methods for robustness, mitigation of biases, and large language models.
We focus on multilingual natural language understanding, semantic indexing, LLM-based retrieval-augmented generation, and personalisation.
We research cascaded and end-to-end speech recognition and speech translation, multi-speaker and multilingual speech synthesis, real-time speech recognition, automatic subtitling and dubbing.
We develop multilingual named entity recognition, anonymisation and pseudonymisation, term recognition and extraction, morphological analysis, lemmatization, part-of-speech tagging and other tools.
We maintain the largest termbank in Europe – EuroTermBank, and develop term management and electronic dictionary tools.
Current research projects
The European space industry is integrating satellites and ground sensors into a federation system to make Earth observation assets available to businesses and public services. The DOMINO-E project aims to ensure the availability and responsiveness of Earth observation from space.
Through the Language Data Space (LDS) relevant stakeholders will be able to share and also monetise their language data and other language resources through a single platform, taking EU values and compliance with EU rules fully into account.
The project aims to develop the scientific foundations and technological breakthroughs needed to shape the AI revolution in a direction that benefits humans both individually and societally while adhering to European ethical values and social, cultural, legal, and political norms.
