of the workshop is to bring together the communities who are working in the
areas of evolutionary computation, optimization techniques, machine learning,
language technology/Natural Language Processing, information retrieval, and
text mining. The workshop will be a starting platform to explore the
possibilities of interdisciplinary research that will focus on developing
optimization based methods within the context of human language technology.
Almost all the research and development activities in human language technology
rely on the high level of performance to satisfy the users intended needs, and
have to deal with many objectives and parameters. For example, in Information
Retrieval, it is often necessary to optimize the recall and precision
parameters. In automatic summarisation, it is desired to optimize different
objective functions like similarity to user query, ROUGE metric, important
sentence score, and difference in length between the scored sentence and the
desired sentence. Other examples of optimization in NLP include parsing,
machine translation, and computational models of language acquisition.</span><span style="font-size:12pt"></span></font></p>
