Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
A workshop accepted for ACL 2014 in June 2014 may be of interest to
this group:<br>
<a href="http://buffalo.edu/%7Ejcgood/ComputEL.html">http://buffalo.edu/~jcgood/ComputEL.html</a><br>
<br>
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 <b>specific computational methods in the analysis of
data from low-resource languages</b>, with a focus on endangered
languages, (ii) proposing <b>new models for the collection and
management of data in endangered language settings</b>, and (iii)
considering what concrete steps are required to allow for a more
fruitful <b>interaction between computer scientists and documentary
linguists</b>. 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. <br>
<br>
Limited travel funding will probably be available for some workshop
presenters, especially students, who do not otherwise have their own
funds.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Alexandre Arkhipov<br>
