[Santos Diana]

Preparatory action for evaluation contests for Portuguese processing
Faro, Portugal, 27 June 2002 (post-workshop at PorTAL)

Evaluation is nowadays recognized as a driving wheel of R&D in natural
language
processing, being both a research activity in its own and an effective way
to
boost collaboration and progress to achieve a given result.

Providing means to evaluate the area is one of the goals the Computational
Processing 
of Portuguese project, and therefore we invite everyone concerned with
Portuguese NLP or language engineering to participate at a one-day session
to define courses of action and procedures to arrange evaluation contests in
several application areas.
