*Theme and Motivation*
/Language Technologies in support of Less-Resourced Languages (LRL)/
This Workshop is targeting all stakeholders somehow involved in Language
Technology for less-resourced languages, either as users, developers,
researchers, language activists, or policy makers. As such, the Workshop
broadly addresses current use and usability of Language Technologies for
less-resourced languages. This year, we take the opportunity of
celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Language and Technology
Conference to analyze the influence of Language Technologies on
Less-Resourced Languages over two decades. We will particularly welcome
contributions addressing the following issues:
1) LRLs in the digital age - how well are
regional/minority/less-resourced languages equipped for the digital age?
What is the experience of speakers, what are their opportunities to act
in the digital sphere by means of these languages? Do speakers of
regional/minority/less-resourced languages experience any kind of
"unequal digital opportunity"? What is the impact of LRTs on the use and
usability of LRL on digital media and devices?
2) LRTs for LRL - development of LRTs for LRLs is often linked to
purposes other than availability of applications for retrieving
information or for enabling communication (e.g. language learning,
identity-building or language reclamation): how often are LRLs targeted
by applications for educational, entertainment, or revitalization purposes?
3) LRL: charting the field - what do we know about currently available
LRTs for LRL? How to draw a comprehensive and accurate picture? Who are
the actors to be involved? What is the experience of researchers and
developers?
4) LRL: rethinking the BLaRK - the BLaRK still proves a useful tool for
planning and implementing LT for LRL. How can it be remodeled/rethought
in the light of current technological development? How can it be
channeled into a coherent development roadmap?
*Publication*
The papers accepted for LRL 2015 will be published in the LTC
Proceedings (hard copy, with ISBN number) and on CD-ROM. After the
Workshop, a selection of the best papers will be published together with
best LTC papers in a dedicated volume in the Springer Series Lecture
Notes in Artificial Intelligence.
