Building language technology infrastructure for crisis response

We focus on the languages most needed and least served, giving humanitarian responders and affected communities the ability to communicate across language barriers when it matters most. LT4CPR is an NSF-funded collaborative project between George Mason University and the University of Washington that builds datasets and tools for crisis preparedness and response.
