Meeting Description:

The 4th Celtic Language Technology Workshop will be co-located with LREC 2022
(https://lrec2022.lrec-conf.org/en/).

Language Technology and Computational Linguistics research innovations in
recent years have given us a great deal of modern language processing tools
and resources for many languages. Basic language tools like spell and grammar
checkers through to interactive systems like Siri, as well as resources like
the Trillion Word Corpus, all fit together to produce products and services
which enhance our daily lives.

Until relatively recently, languages such as Celtic languages, with smaller
numbers of speakers, have largely not benefited from attention in this field.
However, modern techniques in the field are making it easier to create
language tools and resources from fewer resources in a faster time. In this
light, many lesser-spoken languages are making their way into the digital age
through the provision of language technologies and resources.

The Celtic Language Technology Workshop (CLTW) series of workshops provides a
forum for researchers interested in developing natural language processing
(NLP) resources and language technologies (LTs) for Celtic languages. As
Celtic languages are under-resourced, our goal is to encourage collaboration
and communication between researchers working on language technologies and
resources for Celtic languages.

Call for Papers:

First CfP for the 4th Celtic Language Technology Workshop (LREC 2022)

Our workshop welcomes theoretical and practical submissions on any Celtic
language (Irish, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, Manx, Cornish or Breton) that
contributes to research in machine translation, automated language processing,
language/speech technologies or resources for the same. We’ve seen from
previous CLTWs that there is much scope for sharing best practices and
leveraging from learned experiences through working with limited resources in
this forum. We will particularly encourage studies that address either
practical applications with a human in the loop or the lack of resources
available for a given language in this field.

Topics of interest for the CLTW workshop include but are not limited to:

- Celtic Corpus Development/Analysis
- Celtic Digital Humanities
- Celtic Language Resources
- Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL)
- Cross-lingual Methods
- Evaluation Methods
- Information Extraction
- Lexicons
- Linked Data Resources
- Machine Translation
- NLP/LT for historical Celtic languages
- Ontology-lexica
- Parsing/Chunking
- Semantics
- Speech Processing/Generation
- Supervised and semi-supervised annotation of Celtic-language texts (e.g. POS
and morphological tagging)
- Syntax
- Terminology and Knowledge Representation
- Transfer Learning
- Treebanking

Invited Speaker
Professor Kevin Scannell (Saint Louis University, USA)
