The <i>Joint Research Centre</i> in Ispra, Northern Italy, started
working on <b>Text Mining </b>in 1998 and has since developed
complex and highly multilingual applications seamlessly integrating
<b>Language Technology</b> tools such as clustering, classification,
named entity recognition and classification (NERC), name variant
matching, event scenario template filling, multi-document
summarisation, sentiment analysis, topic detection and tracking,
cross-lingual linking of related documents and machine translation.<br>
<br>
The focus of the JRC's work has always been on <b>high
multilinguality </b>(between ten and fifty languages), on <b>multilingual
and multi- document information aggregation </b>and fusion, as
well as on tools to provide <b>cross-lingual information access</b>.
The text analysis tools have been integrated with the news gathering
engine <i>Europe Media Monitor</i> (EMM). The four EMM applications
<a href="http://emm.newsbrief.eu/">NewsBrief</a>, <a
href="http://emm.newsexplorer.eu/">NewsExplorer</a>, <a
href="http://medusa.jrc.it/">Medical Information System MedISys</a>
and <a href="http://emm-labs.jrc.it/">EMM-Labs </a>are freely
accessible via <a href="http://emm.jrc.it/overview.html">
http://emm.jrc.it/overview.html</a> .<br>
<br>
<a
href="http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Documents/09_SIGIR-WS_Steinberger+frontmatter.pdf">Europe
Media Monitor</a> gathers an average of 100,000 news articles per
day in fifty languages. <a
href="http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Documents/09_SIGIR-WS_Steinberger+frontmatter.pdf">NewsExplorer</a>
applies text mining tools to <b>twenty languages</b>: Arabic,
Bulgarian, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Farsi, French, German,
Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovene,
Spanish, Swahili (coming soon), Swedish and Turkish. <br>
