CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The Northern European Association for Language Technology (NEALT)
invites proposals for workshop at its bi-annual conference on human
language and speech technologies.  NoDaLiDa 2013 will be held between
May 22 and May 24, 2013, on the campus of the University of Oslo (UiO)
in Norway.  Please mark your calendars.

NoDaLiDa addresses /all/ aspects of speech recognition and synthesis,
natural language processing, and computational linguistics—including
work in closely related neighbouring disciplines (such as, for example,
linguistics or psychology) that is sufficiently formalized or applied
to bear relevance to speech and language technologies.

We invite proposals for workshops, to be held on Wednesday, May 22,
immediately preceding the main conference.  Workshops can be either
scheduled for a full day (morning and afternoon) or for half a day.
Workshop proposals can be submitted in free-text form, anytime before
Monday, December 10, by email to ‘nodalida13 at ifi.uio.no’.

Workshop proposals must include adequate information on at least the
following aspects:
