       Call for Participation in the 2005 HTRDP Evaluation
             on Chinese Information Processing and
         Intelligent Human-Machine Interface Technology

    Date: September 20-22,2005
    Tasks: Machine Translation
           Chinese Information Retrieval
           Chinese Speech Recognition
    Website: http://www.863data.org.cn or http://159.226.39.41

The HTRDP Chinese Information Processing and Intelligent Human-Machine
Interface Technology Evaluation, which is sponsored by National High
Technology Research and Development Program (HTRDP, also called "863"
Program), is composed of a series of evaluation activities. Its purpose
is to provide the infrastructural support for research and development
on Chinese information processing and intelligent human-machine
interface technologies, to enhance communication among industry,
academia and government, and to speed up the transfer of technologies
from promising ideas to commercial products. In the 2005 Evaluation,
three technologies will be evaluated:

        Machine Translation
        Chinese Information Retrieval
        Chinese Speech Recognition

The 2005 Evaluation will be held in late September. All evaluation data
are delivered via the Internet or post. Participants perform the tasks
using their own computers. Within one month after the submission of
results, evaluation results will be sent to each participant via e-mail.
HTRDP sponsors a follow-up evaluation workshop, which will be held in
November.

Participation in the 2005 Evaluation is invited for all researchers who
find the evaluation and the tasks of interest. For more information,
please visit our website:

                                            The HTRDP Evaluation Group
                                                    April 30, 2005



Note: The 2005 HTRDP Information Retrieval Evaluation and SEWM-2005
Chinese Web Track (http://www.cwirf.org/call2005.html) sponsored by
Computer Network and Distributed Systems Laboratory of Peking University
jointly release Call-for-Participations and Guidelines after their
coordination in details for both evaluations. All researchers are
welcome to participate in the two evaluations.
