Meeting Description:

Australasian Language Technology Workshop (ALTA 2010)
http://www.alta.asn.au/events/alta2010/

Submissions deadline: Monday 20th September 2010

Overview:

This year, the Australasian Language Technology Workshop (ALTA) will be held at
the University of Melbourne in Melbourne on Thursday 9th and Friday 10th of
December 2010. This event will be the eighth annual installment of the ALTA
Workshop in its most-recent incarnation, and the continuation of an annual
workshop series that has existed under various guises since the early 90s.

The goals of the ALTA workshop are:

- To bring together the growing Language Technology (LT) community in Australia
and New Zealand and encourage interactions
- To encourage interactions and collaboration within this community and with the
wider international LT community
- To foster interaction between academic and industrial researchers, to
encourage dissemination of research results
- To provide a forum for students and young researchers to present their research
- To facilitate the discussion of new and ongoing research and projects
- To provide an opportunity for the broader artificial intelligence community to
become aware of local LT research
- To increase visibility of LT research in Australia, New Zealand and overseas
