The Symposium on Natural Language Processing (SNLP) is an international
conference
held biannually since 1993 with the cooperative effort of a number of
universities in Thailand.
The purpose of SNLP is to promote research in natural language processing
by bringing
together researchers and practitioners in the field to exchange ideas and
present results on
machine translation, information retrieval and speech processing technology.
