<DIV class=text>
<P><FONT face=Arial>With the aim of encouraging and promoting the development of
Human Language Technologies (HLT) for modern iberian languages, the goal of this
workshop is creating a discussion forum about different aspects regarding the
evaluation of Natural Language Processing systems, emphasizing the main problems
that modern iberian languages implied: Spanish, Catalan, Basque, Galician and
Portuguese. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>The implementation of this type of systems requires a deep
evaluation and validation of them. In order to validate the HLT, similar
evaluation methods must exists for similar applications, in order to compare
them straightforwardly. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>Besides, most tasks of HLT, as summarization and automatic
translation, does not have a unique valid solution, but more than one can be
accepted. Therefore, the evaluation methods required must be clear and adjusted
to the system goals. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>Following the line of other workshops focused in the
evaluation of HLT systems, this IBEREVAL I workshop is presented as a discussion
forum about the evaluation of systems working with modern iberian languages,
with the aim of discovering the interests and necessities of the scientific
community, dealing with the problems that evaluation implies, and promoting the
creation of evaluation resources and training corpus for HLT systems working on
these languages. </FONT></P></DIV>
