THIRD CONFERENCE ON EMPIRICAL METHODS IN NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING
Sponsored by SIGDAT
(ACL's Special Interest Group for Linguistic Data and Corpus-based Approaches to NLP)
Tuesday, June 2, 1998
Granada, Spain
Following the
First International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation
and the
NSF Workshop on Translingual Information Management
In the spirit of SIGDAT events, this conference offers a general forum for novel research in corpus-based and statistical natural language processing. This year's conference is focused on work that describes and evaluates the strengths, weaknesses, and recent advances in corpus-based NLP as applied to multi-lingual applications.
The development of natural language applications which handle multi-lingual information is the next major challenge facing the field of computational linguistics. How well do techniques for lexical tagging, parsing, anaphora resolution, etc., handle the specific problems of multi-lingual applications? What new methods have been developed to address the deficiencies of existing algorithms for these tasks or to address problems specific to handling multi-lingual applications? What problems still lack an adequate empirical solution? Conversely, how can data-driven NLP methods be improved with the help of multi-lingual data?
