WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Although there exists a considerable body of CL research specifically
targeted to Semitic languages, much of the work to date has been the result
of initiatives undertaken by individual researchers or research
establishments. A direct consequence is that there is comparatively little
awareness amongst practitioners of either the state of the art as practiced
outside their own locality, the common challenges faced by all
practitioners, or the potential for developing a coordinated approach. The
aims of this workshop are therefore:
* To provide a forum where current work in a broad range of subfields can
be presented, collected and diffused.
* To assess the state of the art with a view to identifying promising
areas for future collaborative research.
* To set up initiatives to explore the possibilities of supporting such
research through national and international funding agencies.
SUBTOPICS
Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Educational Applications
* Empirical Methods
* Orthographic Represention
* Language Modelling
* Language Resources
* Lexicon and Lexical Represention
* Machine Translation
* Morphology and Phonology
* Multilinguality
* Syntax, Parsing and Generation
* Speech Applications
