2nd CfP: ComputEL, The use of computational methods in the study of endangered languages

[Alexandre Arkhipov]

Dear colleagues,

A workshop accepted for ACL 2014 in June 2014 may be of interest to this 
group:
http://buffalo.edu/~jcgood/ComputEL.html 
<http://buffalo.edu/%7Ejcgood/ComputEL.html>

This workshop seeks to address this state of affairs by bringing 
together papers exploring the use of computational methods to facilitate 
the documentation and study of endangered languages. Possible topics may 
include, but are not limited to: (i) examining the use of *specific 
computational methods in the analysis of data from low-resource 
languages*, with a focus on endangered languages, (ii) proposing *new 
models for the collection and management of data in endangered language 
settings*, and (iii) considering what concrete steps are required to 
allow for a more fruitful *interaction between computer scientists and 
documentary linguists*. The workshop's intention is not merely to allow 
for the presentation of research on these topics but also to help build 
a community of computational and documentary linguists who are able to 
effectively pair together to serve their common interests.

Limited travel funding will probably be available for some workshop 
presenters, especially students, who do not otherwise have their own funds.

Best regards,
Alexandre Arkhipov
