Call for Participation

Arabic Language Resources and Tools conference

September 22-23 2004
Hotel Helnan Shepheard,
Cairo, Egypt

Language Resources (LRs) are recognised as a central component of the  
linguistic infrastructure, necessary for the development of language  
technology applications and products, and therefore for
  research and industrial development.

  In this conference we will focus on Arabic language technology and on  
the necessary language resources and tools for both research and  
commercial development of language technology for Arabic. Multilingual  
language technology is also in the focus, as well as general  
methodologies. Evaluation of modules and systems is another field which  
is closely related to language resources, because language resources  
are used to perform the evaluation.


Substantial mutual benefits will be achieved by addressing these issues  
through international collaboration. For this reason, the conference is  
organised at the international level. 

Under the auspices of
The Egyptian Ministry of Information & Telecommunications.
