Meeting Description:

10th Workshop on Asian Language Resources (ALR10)
in conjunction with COLING 2012 in Mumbai, India

Organized by

Asian Languages Resources Committee (ALRC)
Asian Federation of Natural Language Processing (AFNLP)

December 8-9, 2012

http://www.cle.org.pk/alr10/

The 10th Workshop on Asian Language Resources focuses on language resources for Asian region, with more than 2200 spoken languages. There are now increasing efforts to build multi-lingual, multi-modal language resources, with varying levels of annotations, through manual, semi-automatic and automatic approaches, as the use of ICTs spreads across the region. Correspondingly, the development of practical applications on these language resources has also been rapidly growing. The workshops on ALR is a series aim to forge a better coordination and collaboration among researchers on these languages, and the NLP community, in general to develop common frameworks and processes for this purpose. 

Call for Papers:

To achieve these goals, the workshop calls for original and unpublished technical, strategy, policy and survey papers concerning, but not limited to, the following topics:

1. Text corpora, speech corpora, corpora in other modalities or media (such as video for sign languages or affective computing)
2. Lexicons, grammars, machine-readable dictionaries, domain specific terminology
3. Ontologies, knowledge representation, semantic web technologies
4. Infrastructure for constructing and sharing language resources
5. Exchange and annotation schemata, exchange formats
6. Standards or specifications for language resources and content management
7. Language resources for basic NLP tasks (word segmentation, named entity recognition, syntactic analysis, semantic analysis, discourse analysis, speech recognition, speech synthesis, etc.)
8. Language Resources for HLT applications (such as text generation, information retrieval, information extraction, question answering, machine translation, speech translation, reasoning, affective computing, etc.)
9. Strategies and priorities for cooperation and collaboration
10. Licensing and copyright issues

Papers should be submitted electronically at the following site:
