Development of the GMO-track system

Due to a large number of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on the market, it is important to develop a system for cost-effective detection and identification of GMOs in food, feed and seed samples. In collaboration with the National institute of biology, we have formally defined the laboratory-level GMO traceability optimization problem and developed a decision support system which evaluates combinations of assays according to their cost and coverage of GMOs. The GMOtrack program is publicly available on the website http://kt.ijs.si/software/GMOtrack/ .

Machine translation focused on South Slavic and Balkan languages

This SEE.ERA EU project developed multilingual parallel linguistically annotated corpora, for Slovene, Serbian, Romanian, Bolgarian and Greek (and English). Using these corpora, an advanced statistical machine translation system was trained and evaluated. The results showed that using morphosyntactic information significantly increases translation accuracy.
