ACL/EACL 2001 Workshop
ARABIC Language Processing: Status and Prospects
Toulouse, France, Friday 6 July 2001
Co-organized by:
ELSNET NAPLUS
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES AND DESCRIPTION:
The objective of the workshop is threefold.
* First of all we want to bring together people who are actively
involved in Arabic language and/or speech processing in a mono- or
multilingual context, and give them an opportunity to report on
completed and ongoing work as well as on the availability of
products and core technologies. This should enable the
participants to develop a common view on where we stand with
respect to Arabic language processing.
* Secondly, we want to identify problems of common interest, and
possible mechanisms to move towards solutions, such as sharing of
tools and resources, moving towards standards, sharing and
dissemination of information and expertise, adoption of current
best practices, setting up joint projects and technology transfer
mechanisms, etc.
* Third, we would like to enhance collaboration between the Arabic
NLP community and the NLP community at large.
The workshop program will include the following components:
* Introduction
* Overview talks
* Scientific papers
* Short presentations of projects, core technologies and products
* A panel session and/or a round table discussion
* Conclusions
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR SCIENTIFIC PAPERS:
Papers are solicited that address all aspects of Arabic language
processing in a mono- or multilingual context, including tools,
resources and standards. Papers will have to be original and report on
completed research. Submissions of scientific papers should not exceed
eight (8) pages. Please provide a list of keywords in the separate
header page. Further submission details below.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR SHORT PRESENTATIONS OF PROJECTS, CORE
TECHNOLOGIES AND PRODUCTS:
Short presentations serve to give the audience an impression of
ongoing activities and projects, and of existing core technologies and
products, with a view to possible collaboration and synergies (i.e. NO
commercial product presentations). Submissions of short presentations
should not exceed two (2) pages. Short presentations will be reviewed
on the basis of relevance and clarity of presentation.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS:
Electronic submissions only (PostScript, Word, or PDF), following the
appropriate ACL latex style or Microsoft Word style. Submissions
should not exceed the length indicated above, including references.
