EACL 2012 workshop on

Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, 
Social Sciences, and Humanities 
(LaTeCH 2012)

April 24, 2012 
Avignon, France

** Early registration by March 19, 2012 **
********************************************************************

The 6th Workshop on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage,
Social Sciences, and Humanities will be held in conjunction with the 
13th Conference of the European Charter of the Association for
Computational Linguistics (EACL 2012) which will take place in
April 23-27, 2012, in Avignon, France.

==================
About the Workshop
==================
The LaTeCH workshop series aims to provide a forum for researchers who are
working on developing novel information technology for improved
information access to data from the Humanities, Social Sciences, and
Cultural Heritage.

Recent developments in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural
Heritage draw an increasing interest from researchers in NLP in developing
methods for data cleaning, semantic annotation, intelligent querying,
linking, discovery and visualisation of interesting trends. Language
technology has an important role to play in these processes, even for
collections which are primarily non-textual, since text is the pervasive
medium used for metadata. These fairly novel domains of application entail
new challenges to NLP research, such as noisy text (e.g., due to OCR
problems), non-standard, or archaic language varieties (e.g., historic
language, dialects, mixed use of languages, ellipsis, transcription
errors), the necessity to link data of diverse formats (e.g., text,
database, video, speech) and languages, and the lack of available
resources, such as dictionaries. Furthermore, often neither annotated
domain data is available, nor the required funds to
manually create it, thus forcing researchers to investigate (semi-)
automatic resource development and domain adaptation approaches involving
the least possible manual effort.

The workshop is a follow-up to LaTeCH 2007 held at ACL, in Prague, Czech
Republic, LaTeCH 2008 at LREC, in Marrakech, Morocco, LaTeCH 2009 at EACL,
in Athens, Greece, LaTeCH 2010 at ECAI, in Lisbon, Portugal, and
LaTeCH 2011 at ACL/HLT, in Portland, Oregon, USA.
