Meeting Description:

The CLTW community and workshop – inaugurated at COLING (Dublin) in
2014 – has become a critical focus and forum for researchers working
in speech and language technologies for Celtic languages (Irish,
Welsh, Scots Gaelic, Breton, Cornish, Manx).
While the Celtic languages share certain aspects of their
sociolinguistic situation with other minority languages, their common
linguistic features (e.g. VSO word order, initial mutations and
reasonably complex morphology) also present unique challenges for the
development of robust NLP tools. By gathering researchers from all of
the Celtic languages, CLTW aims to share best practice in overcoming
these difficulties.

Invited Speakers:
Dr. Linda Heimisdottir, CEO at Miðeind, Iceland
Dr. Alham Fikri Aji, Assistant Professor, Mohamed bin Zayed University
of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI)
