ELSNET's 5TH EUROPEAN SUMMER SCHOOL ON LANGUAGE AND SPEECH COMMUNICATION
************************************************************************
LEXICON DEVELOPMENT FOR LANGUAGE AND SPEECH PROCESSING
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
Centre for Computational Linguistics
14-25 July 1997
SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT
*******************
ELSNET's fifth European Summer School on Language and Speech
Communication will be organised at the Centre for Computational
Linguistics in Leuven, Belgium. The central theme of the summer school
will be 'Lexicon development for Language and Speech Processing'. The
event is sponsored by ELSNET and Erasmus, and supported by ESCA and
EACL.
Language and speech processing applications with a reasonable coverage
need large lexicons. The construction and maintenance of lexical
resources is a costly and complex task. Consequently, decisions about
notation, format, structure, content and acquisition of lexical
knowledge require careful consideration, while keeping in mind
specific requirements of applications on the one hand and reusability
on the other. For students and staff interested in the development of
systems for speech and language communication it is of prime
importance to be familiar with the latest developments in this field.

The Summer School is open to advanced undergraduate, graduate and
postgraduate students, as well as to postdocs and staff members from
academia and industry. Participants are expected to have a basic
knowledge of language and/or speech processing, but no prior
experience in the area of lexicon development will be assumed. The
courses are taught in English.
In order to facilitate the acquistion of hands-on experience the
number of participants will be limited to 90. Since it is expected
that the summerschool will be oversubscribed, early registration is
strongly recommended. For registration, use the form from our
