CRiLL-HL aims at researchers working with Low Resource Languages - a special
focus is on historical languages.

In recent years, the interest in language resources and computational models
for the study of low resource languages (LRLs) has been constantly growing.
This concerns especially historical LRLs for which authentic digitized
material is hardly available. Since for most historical languages data is
sparse one may consider Wikipedia and related projects (on Old English,
Gothic, Old Church Slavonic, Latin etc.) to overcome data sparseness. This
approach investigates to what extent such data can be useful for modeling
historical languages. The LRL workshop addresses scholars working on these and
related topics using LRL corpora for NLP of low-resourced languages.
