This event will take place on 18 September 2014 in Warsaw, Poland, and will be co-located with the PolTAL conference (see http://poltal.ipipan.waw.pl for more details).

The Symposium is a great opportunity to present your research and early results and to receive feedback from the audience comprising academics and industry engineers. The author of the best presentation (voted by the audience) will be awarded a Galaxy smartphone. 

This event will also be a chance to meet and talk to researchers and engineers who work day-to-day on human language technologies including, but not limited to, machine translation, automatic speech recognition, speech synthesis, dialogue agents, text mining, sentiment analysis, handwriting recognition, finite methods, language modelling, and big data.

Your abstract and questions will be displayed in the workshop conference room before the event to allow the audience to learn about your research and think about your questions before coming to your presentation.
