Meeting Description:

The 11th Language Resources and Evaluation Conference will include a special
industry track to be held during the conference.

Industry track will take place in Miyazaki, Japan on May 10, 2018 (Day 2 of
the main conference).

Human language technologies have become increasingly important parts of our
lives. These technologies have emerged from decades of collaborations between
academic and industrial research organizations; collaborations are made
possible by the unique strengths of both communities and a set of shared
practices (algorithms, evaluation methods, datasets, and the like). But
despite this, there are substantial differences between research in academic
and industrial settings.

In contrast to academic research: industrial speech and language technologies
may pose unique challenges of scale; language resources from industry may
demand different algorithms or evaluation methodologies than in academic
settings; and the practices of academic and industrial settings may converge
on distinct methods for the same problem; industrial systems and practices may
pose ethical challenges not present in academic settings.

Topics include but are not limited to:

- Industrial systems
- Tools and platforms for data collection
- Human computation in industry
- Asian languages
- Spoken languages and dialects
- Less-resourced languages
