DARPA is offering the Broad Operational Language Translation (BOLT) grant to fund innovative research in Human Language Technology (HLT). This significant grant opportunity aims to develop groundbreaking technology capable of accurately translating a wide array of foreign languages across diverse genres. A core objective is to enable efficient and comprehensive information retrieval from translated materials, alongside facilitating seamless bilingual communication through both speech and text. The BOLT program specifically seeks proposals that demonstrate revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Research focusing merely on evolutionary improvements to existing state-of-the-art practices is explicitly excluded. This initiative is designed to propel the boundaries of language translation and communication capabilities for critical operational needs.

| Description: | DARPA seeks strong, responsive proposals from well-qualified sources for a new Human Language Technology (HLT) research and development program called Broad Operational Language Translation (BOLT). The goal of the BOLT program is to create technology capable of translating multiple foreign languages in all genres, retrieve information from the translated material, and enable bilingual communication via speech or text. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. |
