Introduction

Computational Linguistics UK (CLUK) aims to provide a forum for the
Computational Linguistics community in the UK. The Annual CLUK Colloquium
offers PhD students in Natural Language Processing and related disciplines
an opportunity to present and discuss their work with members of the wider
research community. The colloquium is organised as a mini-conference.
Presentations are held in conference-style sessions, to which senior
established researchers are invited, and there will be opportunities for
general discussion. Papers on any topic within the area of Computational
Linguistics, NLP and Language Engineering are welcome.

This year we are pleased to announce the following invited speakers:

Donia Scott - University of Brighton
Massimo Poesio - University of Edinburgh (to be confirmed)
Keith Preston - BT (to be confirmed)
