| Abstract | We propose to create a grid virtual organization for human languagetechnologies, at first chiefly with the task of enabling linguistic researchesto use existing distributed computing facilities of the European gridinfrastructure for more efficient processing of large data sets. After a briefoverview of modern grid computing, a number of common use-cases of naturallanguage processing tasks running on the grid are presented, notably corpusannotation with morpho-syntactic tagging (600+ million-word corpus annotated inless than a day), $n$-gram statistics processing of a corpus and creation ofgrid-backed web-accessible services with annotation and term-extraction asexamples. Implementation considerations and common problems of using grid forthis type of tasks are laid out. We conclude with an outline of a simple actionplan for evolving the infrastructure created for these experiments into a fullyfunctional Human Language Technology grid Virtual Organization with the goal ofmaking the power of European grid infrastructure available to the linguisticcommunity. |
