The Sixth Baltic Conference
HUMAN LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGIES - THE BALTIC PERSPECTIVE
KAUNAS, Lithuania, September 26-27, 2014

Motivation
-------------------------
The Sixth Baltic Conference is a great opportunity for researchers in the
Baltics and surrounding regions to meet and discuss problems, issues,
challenges, and achievements, as well as to foster cooperation in the area
of natural language processing and human language technologies.

The event is also important for gathering and consolidating ideas for the
following reasons:
- a great urge for Baltic countries to establish and join international
research infrastructures;
- potential participation in the EU Research and Innovation programme
Horizons 2020 and in the new period of the EU structural funds (2014-2020).

History
-------------------------
The conference is the successor of the five previous Baltic HLT conferences
held in Riga (2004), Tallinn (2005), Kaunas (2007), Riga (2010), and Tartu
(2012).
