Research Areas

Tilde is a leading European language technology company that specializes in research and development of intelligent multilingual data processing technologies. Tildes research has been internationally acknowledged, particularly research for complex, highly inflected languages, less resourced European languages.

To enable languages in the digital age, Tilde’s research activities focus on automated translation, knowledge management, linguistic analysis, speech processing and conversational interfaces. Tilde has special expertise in research and development of language technology services for high-demand applications.

Automated Translation

Tilde is at the forefront of research and innovation in neural, statistical, and hybrid machine translation. Tilde’s research activities in a field of automated translation has lead to market-leading machine translation systems for a wide range of languages. Recently, based on latest research results, Tilde has released the world’s first neural machine translation systems for smaller languages.
