******************************************************************************
<br>
The international conference on Arabic Language Resources and Tools is
organised by the NEMLAR project consortium and will take place the 22-23
September 2004 in Cairo, Egypt. <br>
<br>
In this conference we will focus on Arabic language technology and on the
necessary language resources and tools for both research and commercial
development of language technology for Arabic. Multilingual language
technology is also highlighted, as well as general methodologies.
Evaluation of modules and systems is another field which is closely
related to language resources, because language resources are used to
perform the evaluation. Substantial mutual benefits will be achieved by
addressing these issues through international collaboration. For this
reason, the conference is organised at the international level. <br>
The conference is held under the auspices of H.E. prof. Ahmad Nazeef, the
Egyptian Minister of Information & Telecommunications.<br>
