Subject: TWLT14: Language technology in Multimedia Information Retrieval
14TH TWENTE WORKSHOP ON LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY
LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY IN MULTIMEDIA INFORMATION RETRIEVAL
December 7-8 1998, University of Twente, The Netherlands
PROGRAM AND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
On 7 and 8 December 1998, the fourteenth international Twente Workshop
on Language Technology (TWLT14) will take place at the University of
Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands. The topic of this workshop will be
"Language Technology in Multimedia Information Retrieval"
TWLT14 will focus on the increasingly important role of human language
technology in the indexing and accessing of written and spoken
documents, video material and/or images, and on the role of language
technology for cross-language retrieval and information
extraction. The workshop will address the role of language and speech
processing both in terms of existing approaches and implementations,
in terms of theoretical foundations, and/or emerging directions of
research.
