ViSaS Research Project

Partners: VinNLP, VinUniversity, Vietnam & UCREL, Lancaster University, UK

ViSaS is an open-source project building a semantic tagging system for Vietnamese inspired by the USAS/AraSAS frameworks. It will support cross-linguistic semantic analysis and multilingual NLP applications, using the PyMUSAS platform.

• Develop a Vietnamese semantic lexicon and tagger
• Align Vietnamese terms with English semantic domains
• Adapt Vietnamese NLP tools (lemmatisers, analysers)
• Integrate rule-based and LLM-assisted semantic tagging
• Evaluate tagging consistency across corpora and chatbots

Duration: 12 months (Starting May 2025)
