Asian Symposium on Natural Language Processing to Overcome Language
Barriers

The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers
(IEICE)
Technical Group on Natural Language Understanding and Models of
Communication (NLC)
Technical Group on Thought and Language (TL)
Supported by:
Communications Research Laboratory (CRL)
- Description
The Internet has made it easy to access to a vast amounts of information
and to connect with people all over the world. However, there are numerous
barriers to effective information access and efficient communication. One
of these is language differences. Gaps between different kinds of media,
such as speech and text, also decrease the efficiency of information access.
The handicapped and the aged are faced with many more barriers than these.
This symposium aims to bring together NLP researchers in Asia and to
discuss how language barriers can be overcome by applying Natural
Language Processing.
The symposium will be held immediately following the 1st International
Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing (IJC-NLP-04). The
official language will be English.
- Date and place
March 25-26, 2004, Hainan Island, China
( Immediately following the 1st International Joint Conference
on Natural Language Processing [IJC-NLP-04,
http://afnlp.org/gita_link_doc/IJCNLP-04.htm] )
- Topics of interest
Papers are solicited on topics with a focus on NLP aimed at overcoming
of language barriers. In addition to completed work, work in progress
and on-going projects are welcomed. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:
* Cross-lingual information access and communication
Machine translation
Speech translation
Cross-lingual information retrieval / question answering

Language education
* Cross-media information access
Text retrieval / question answering by speech
