The LREC Conference is ELRA’s biennial flagship event, organized since 1998 with the support of institutions and organizations involved in HLT. Bringing together an increasing large number of participants working and interested in HLT, it has become a major event in the field of language engineering, and constitutes a milestone in the life of Human Language Technologies (HLT).

ELRC participated in the LREC 2022 in Marseille with an on-site booth at the HLT Village and a remote presentation of the paper ELRC Action: Covering Confidentiality, Correctness and Cross-linguality , which describes the LT assessments performed as part of the ELRC action of the European Commis-sion.

Anonymisation of personal data will remain a hot topic in the coming months and years, being increasingly extended to cover various modalities of data transfer. In Poland, it is possible to watch continued various attempts, projects, approaches, and individual implementations by public bodies, academia, and industry.

We are delighted to inform you that an automatic text anonymisation tool has just been added to the free set of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools offered through the EC language tools portal available to all public administrations, small and medium-sized enterprises, non-governmental organisations and academic bodies in the EU.

Following the recent technical workshop by ELRC and DG CNECT on large language models (LLM), it is worth taking a closer look on the European developments in this area, particularly when they concern less popular and morphologically rich languages like Polish.
