[Corpora-List] Call for Participation: Workshop on Optimization Techniques for Human Language Technology, COLING-12

[Asif Ekbal]

*CALL FOR PARTICIPATION*: Workshop on Optimization Techniques for Human
Language Technology, December 09, 2012 in conjunction with COLING-2012.



The First International Workshop on Optimization Techniques for Human
Language Technology (http://www.iitp.ac.in/opthlt2012/) will be held in
conjunction with COLING-12*.* The aim of the workshop is to bring together
the communities who are working in the areas of evolutionary computation,
optimization techniques, machine learning, language technology/Natural
Language Processing, information retrieval, and text mining. The workshop
will be a starting platform to explore the possibilities of
interdisciplinary research that will focus on developing optimization based
methods within the context of human language technology. Almost all the
research and development activities in human language technology rely on
the high level of performance to satisfy the users intended needs, and have
to deal with many objectives and parameters. For example, in Information
Retrieval, it is often necessary to optimize the recall and precision
parameters. In automatic summarisation, it is desired to optimize different
objective functions like similarity to user query, ROUGE metric, important
sentence score, and difference in length between the scored sentence and
the desired sentence. Other examples of optimization in NLP include
parsing, machine translation, and computational models of language
acquisition.
