Meeting Description:

The Celtic Language Technology Workshop (CLTW) series of workshops provides a
forum for researchers interested in developing NLP (Natural Language
Processing) resources and technologies for Celtic languages. As Celtic
languages are under-resourced, our goal is to encourage collaboration and
communication between researchers working on language technologies and
resources for Celtic languages.


Call for Papers:

Language Technology and Computational Linguistics research innovations in
recent years have given us a great deal of modern language processing tools
and resources for many languages. Basic language tools like spell and grammar
checkers through to interactive systems like Siri, as well as resources like
the Trillion Word Corpus, all fit together to produce products and services
which enhance our daily lives.

Until relatively recently, languages with smaller numbers of speakers have
largely not benefited from attention in this field. However, modern techniques
in the field are making it easier to create language tools and resources from
fewer resources in a faster time. In this light, many lesser spoken languages
are making their way into the digital age through the provision of language
technologies and resources.

This will be the third Celtic Language Technology Workshop (CLTW), this time
co-located with MT Summit XVII in Dublin, Ireland. 

Our workshop welcomes theoretical and practical submissions on any Celtic
language (Irish, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, Manx, Cornish or Breton) that
contributes to research in machine translation, automated language processing,
language/speech technologies or resources for the same. With Ireland's recent
progress in the area of machine translation (particularly in public
administration) and steps towards combining speech processing and machine
translation for Welsh, there is much scope for sharing best practices and
leveraging from learned experiences through working with limited resources in
this forum. We will particularly encourage studies that address either
practical applications with a human in the loop or the lack of resources
available for a given language in this field.

Topics of interest for the CLTW include but are not limited to:

machine translation
corpus development and analysis
treebanking
speech technology
evaluation methods
language resources
syntax
semantics
parsing
lexicons
phonology
morphological analysis
ontologies
terminology
knowledge representation
computer-assisted language learning (CALL)
Digital Humanities
