We research and develop measurement and evaluation methods to advance and promote the use of technologies that provide more effective access to multimedia and multi-lingual information.
The Multimedia Language Technologies Group (MLTG), established in the 1980s as the Speech Group, has a long history of conducting extensive benchmark testing in human language technology. Our current name reflects the significant growth and complexity of our evaluation portfolio over the decades.
