ARCHER: Advancing Robust and Creative Human Language Technologies through Challenge Events and Research​

The ARCHER project aims to organize a five-year technological challenge to evaluate and advance research on Human Language Technologies (HLT) for defense applications. It includes data collection and annotation, experimental evaluation campaigns, and fosters collaborations at a European level, supporting defense and strategic needs​.

The Institute for Language and Speech Processing of Athena RC is responsible for collecting, annotating, and managing linguistic datasets required for the evaluation campaigns, as well as for developing tools and methodologies for the effective evaluation of HLT systems​.
