EUROPE MEDIA MONITOR  (EMM)
 
EMM gathers a daily average of 175,000 news items in over 70 languages
and it analyses the news automatically using a wide range of
JRC-developed computational linguistics tools. These include event
extraction; automatic entity recognition, classification and
disambiguation; name variant mapping; co-reference resolution; quotation
recognition; opinion mining; multi-document summarisation; document
clustering and classification; machine translation; information
aggregation, including across languages; and more.
 
 
BACKGROUND AND READING
 
EMM (http://emm.newsbrief.eu/overview.html) is a freely available
advert-free family of news monitoring and analysis applications
developed by the OPTIMA Team (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/?id=178) at
the Joint Research Centre (http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/jrc/) (JRC), which is
the European Commission's in-house science service.
