Second Call for Papers and Deadline Extension

Fourth Workshop  On

Computational Approaches to Arabic Script-based Languages (CAASL4)



In conjunction with The tenth biennial conference of

the Association for Machine Translation in the Americas

(AMTA-2012)San Diego CA, USA

Thursday, November 1st, 2012

 The Organizing Committee of the Fourth Workshop on Computational
Approaches to Arabic Script-based Languages (CAASL4) invites proposals for
presentations at CAASL4.

 Workshop Description


Three years after CAASL3, this workshop provides an opportunity for
developers and researchers in Academia, the industry, and government to
present their work, exchange ideas, and demonstrate systems that focus on
the challenging task of dealing with all aspects in natural language
processing for languages that use the Arabic script. It also provides an
opportunity to assess the progress that has been made since the third
workshop in 2009.

Authors are invited to submit papers on completed original research and
research in progress on any aspect of NLP for the Arabic Script-based
languages.


Papers should relate directly or indirectly to the following themes:

Statistical and rule-based machine translation

Translation Aids

Evaluation Methods and Techniques of machine translation systems

Localization and multilingual information retrieval systems

Shallow and deep parsing

Data driven approaches

Entity extraction

Tokenization and segmentation

Name matching

Speech synthesis and recognition

Text to speech systems

Semantic analysis

Knowledge Bases

Information retrieval

Semantic web and inferences

Topic Detection and text summarization



Invites Speaker


Dr. Hassan Sawaf, Chief Scientist, Saic



Title of Presentation



"More than 20 years of Machine Translation of Arabic-Script Languages:
Overview of the History of Diverse Challenges in Research and Deployment"
