Mission

Our mission is universal interactivity. We seek to advance communication and collaboration among diverse human and artificial agents, by means of pure and applied research.

Interest

We have chosen to focus on interactivity across the boundaries of human languages. There are about seven thousand languages in the world. We seek to make it possible for humans, collaborating with automatic agents, to use their own native languages and yet share information, ideas, and emotions panlingually.

Work

We have been supporting research at the University of Washington’s Turing Center related to our interest. This research has produced a lexical database designed to support panlingual translation. We are now working, and seeking collaborators, to enlarge and enrich it, and to make it accessible to researchers, developers, and users around the world. Details...

Resources

Related work has produced valuable applications, tools, standards, corpora, and collections of other data. The database that we are building relies on many of them. We would welcome dictionaries and other lexical resources from you. Details...
