The 5th Workshop on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social
Sciences, and Humanities will be held in conjunction with the 49th Annual
Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language
Technologies (ACL/HLT 2011) which will take place in June 19-24, 2011,
in Portland, Oregon, USA (http://www.acl2011.org/).

==================
About the Workshop
==================

The LaTeCH workshop series aims to provide a forum for researchers who
are working on developing novel information technology for improved
information access to data from the Humanities, Social Sciences, and
Cultural Heritage.

Recent developments in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural
Heritage draw an increasing interest from researchers in NLP in developing
methods for data cleaning, semantic annotation, intelligent querying,
linking, discovery and visualisation of interesting trends.
Language technology has an important role to play in these processes,
even for collections which are primarily non-textual, since text is
the pervasive medium used for metadata. These fairly novel domains
of application entail new challenges to NLP research, such as noisy text
(e.g., due to OCR problems), non-standard, or archaic language varieties
(e.g., historic language, dialects, mixed use of languages, ellipsis,
transcription errors), the necessity to link data of diverse formats
(e.g., text, database, video, speech) and languages, and the lack of
available resources, such as dictionaries. Furthermore, often neither
annotated domain data is available, nor the required funds to manually
create it, thus forcing researchers to investigate (semi-) automatic
resource development and domain adaptation approaches involving the
least possible manual effort.
