Workshop on Natural Language Processing and Multilingualism

In conjunction with TALN 2003 Conference :
http://www.sciences.univ-nantes.fr/irin/taln2003/

Batz-sur-Mer, France
June 11-14, 2003

INTRODUCTION

Multilingualism is a concern that is increasingly taken into account in
the design and development of natural language processing applications.
Anticipating the adaptation of linguistic software to different language
families has repercussions not only on linguistic data representation =
but also on architecture of systems.
The aim of the workshop is to enable participants to discuss about the =
consequences of multilingualism on NLP applications. The workshop topics
concern both linguistic data and software; a non exhaustive list is:

- Representation of linguistic data and genericity of formats.
- Overview of the major linguistic problems in this domain.
- Creation of linguistic resources from multilingual parallel corpora.
- Architectures of NLP technologies for different language families.
- Techniques or methods for adapting NLP technologies to new languages.
- Applications and NLP tools taking into account the multilingual
dimension.
- Applications taking into account the encoding formats of documents and

multilingual corpora.
- Experiments related to this domain.
- ...

Our workshop mainly concentrates on problems related to the combination
of NLP systems and linguistic diversity. This problematic does not
concern machine translation in itself, but could deal with the
adaptation of MT systems to several language pairs.
