OVERVIEW

This year the Australasian Language Technology Workshop (ALTA) will be 
held at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand from Tuesday 4 
December to Thursday 6 December. This event will be the tenth annual 
installment of the ALTA Workshop in its most-recent incarnation, and the 
continuation of an annual workshop series that has existed under various 
guises since the early 90s.  For the first time ALTA will take place 
outside of Australia, and correspondingly this year's workshop targets a 
more-international audience.
