The MATERIAL Program seeks to develop methods for finding speech and text content in low-resource languages that is relevant to domain-contextualized English queries. Such methods must use minimal training data and be rapidly deployable to new languages and domains. Content that is responsive to the queries will be returned from multiple genres along with succinct summaries in English. The overall end-to-end capability will enable monolingual triage of multilingual datasets.
