The research project for 2026-2028 entitled „Cross-lingual information retrieval for scientific datasets in less-resourced languages“, to be led by the National Institute for Oriental Languages and Civilizations (INALCO) in Paris, France is recommended for funding. Project „CLingS“ introduces several scientific and technological advances beyond the current state of the art, in particular domain-specific multilingual retrieval for less-resourced languages like Slovak. Unlike generic multilingual search systems, „CLingS“ focuses on scientific language, integrating domain-specific embeddings, terminological alignment, and contextualized semantic mapping.
