2nd International Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Uralic Languages 
Short Title: SIWCLUL 

Date: 20-Jan-2016 - 20-Jan-2016 
Location: Szeged, Hungary 
Contact: Eszter Simon 
Contact Email: iwclul-2016 at googlegroups.com 
Meeting URL: http://rgai.inf.u-szeged.hu/iwclul2016 

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Language Family(ies): Uralic 
Meeting Description: 

The purpose of the Second International Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Uralic Languages is to bring together researchers working on computational approaches to working with these languages.

All Uralic languages exhibit rich morphological structure, which makes processing them challenging for state-of-the-art computational linguistic approaches, the majority also suffer from a lack of resources and many are endangered.

The invited talk will be given by András Kornai.
