LREC 2004
************************************************************************************

The fourth international conference on Language Resources and Evaluation,
LREC 2004, is organised by ELRA in cooperation with other Associations and
consortia, national and international organisations.

Location:
Centro Cultural de Belem, Lisbon, Portugal

Dates:
- Pre-conference workshops: 24-25 May 2004
- Main conference: 26-27-28 May 2004
- Post-conference workshops: 29-30 May 2004

************************************************************************************
Conference web site: http://www.lrec-conf.org
************************************************************************************
-------------------------------
CONFERENCE AIMS
-------------------------------
In the Information Society, the pervasive character of Human Language
Technologies (HLT) and their relevance to practically all fields of Information
Society Technologies (IST) has been widely recognised.

Two issues are particularly relevant: the availability of Language
Resources (LRs)
and the methods for the evaluation of resources, technologies, products and
applications.
Substantial mutual benefits are achieved by addressing these issues through
international
collaboration.

The term "language resources" (LRs) refers to sets of language data and

descriptions
in machine readable form, used in many types of
areas/components/systems/applications:
- creation and evaluation of natural language, speech and multimodal
algorithms and systems,
- software localisation and language services,
- language enabled information and communication services,
- knowledge management,
- e-commerce, e-publishing, e-learning, e-government,
- cultural heritage,
- linguistic studies,
- etc.

This large range of uses makes the LRs infrastructure a strategic part of
the e-society,
where the creation of a basic set of LRs for all languages must be ensured
in order to bring
all languages to the same level of usability and availability.

Examples of LRs are written or spoken corpora and lexica, which may be

annotated or not,
multimodal resources, grammars, terminology or domain specific databases
and dictionaries,
ontologies, multimedia databases, etc. LRs also cover basic software tools
for the acquisition,
preparation, collection, management, customisation and use of the above

mentioned examples.

The relevance of evaluation for language technologies development is
increasingly recognised.
This involves assessing the state-of-the-art for a given technology,
measuring the progress
achieved within a programme, comparing different approaches to a given

problem, assessing
the availability of technologies for a given application, benchmarking, and
assessing system
usability and user satisfaction.

The aim of this conference is to provide an overview of the
state-of-the-art, discuss problems and
opportunities, exchange information regarding LRs, their applications,

ongoing and planned activities,
industrial uses and needs, requirements coming from the new e-society, both
with respect to policy
issues and to technological and organisational ones. LREC will also
elaborate on evaluation methodologies
and tools, explore the different trends and promote initiatives for
international collaboration in the areas
mentioned above.
-----------------------------------------------
CONFERENCE TOPICS
-----------------------------------
Examples of the topics which may be addressed by papers submitted to the
conference are given below.

*** Issues in the design, construction and use of Language Resources (LRs)***

- Guidelines, standards, specifications, models and best practices for LRs,
- Methods, tools and procedures for the acquisition, creation, management,
access, distribution and use of LRs,
- Methods for the extraction and acquisition of knowledge (e.g. terms,

lexical information, language modelling) from LRs,
- Organisational and legal issues in the construction, distribution, access
and use of LRs,
- Availability and use of generic vs. task/domain specific LRs,
- Definition and requirements for a Basic and Extended LAnguage Resource
Kit (BLARK, ELARK) for all languages,
- Monolingual and multilingual LRs,
- Multimedia and multimodal LRs. - Integration of various media and
modalities in LRs (speech, vision, language),
- Documentation and archiving of languages, including minority and
endangered languages,
- Ontologies and knowledge representation,
- Terminology, term extraction, domain-specific dictionaries,
- LRs for linguistic research in human-machine communication,
- Exploitation of LRs in different types of applications (information
extraction, information retrieval, speech dictation,
translation, summarisation, web services, semantic web, etc.),
- Exploitation of LRs in different types of interfaces (dialog systems,

natural language and multimodal/multisensorial
interactions, etc.)
- Industrial LRs requirements, user needs and community's response,
- Industrial production of LRs,
- Industrial use of LRs,
- Metadata descriptions of LRs.

*** Issues in Human Language Technologies (HLT) evaluation ***

- Evaluation, validation, quality assurance of LRs,
- Evaluation methodologies, protocols and measures,
- Benchmarking of systems and products, resources for benchmarking and

evaluation, blackbox, glassbox and
diagnostic evaluation of systems,
- Usability and user experience evaluation, qualitative and perceptive

evaluation,
- Evaluation in written language processing (document production and
management, text retrieval, terminology
extraction, message understanding, text alignment, machine translation,

morphosyntactic tagging, parsing, semantic
tagging, word sense disambiguation, text understanding, summarisation,

question answering, localisation, etc.),
- Evaluation in spoken language processing (speech recognition and
understanding, voice dictation, oral dialog, speech
synthesis, speech coding, speaker and language recognition, spoken
translation, etc.),
- Evaluation of multimedia document retrieval and search systems (including
detection, indexing, filtering, alert, question
answering, etc),
- Evaluation of multimodal systems,
- From evaluation to standardisation.

*** General issues ***

- National and international activities and projects,
- LRs and the needs/opportunities of the emerging industries,
- LRs and contributions to societal needs (e.g. e-society),
- Priorities, perspectives, strategies in national and international
policies for LRs,
- Needs, possibilities, forms, initiatives of/for international
cooperation, and their organisational and
technological implications,
- Open architectures for LRs.

The Conference targets the integration of different types of LRs (spoken,
written and other modalities) and
of the respective communities. To this end, LREC encourages submissions

covering issues which are
common to different types of Language Technologies, such as dialog
strategy, written and spoken translation,
domain-specific data, multimodal communication or multimedia document
processing, and will organise, in addition

The first LREC was organised in Granada (Spain) in 1998: 197 papers
and posters were presented, with about 510 registered participants
from 38 different countries from all continents. Among these, the largest
group came from Spain (81 participants), followed by France (75), USA (73),
Germany (47), UK (43) and Italy (41). Registered participants belonged to over
325 different organisations.

LREC 2000, in Athens, had 129 oral papers and 152 posters presented, with
around 600 participants from 51 different countries from all continents. Among
these, the largest group came from Greece (117), followed by USA (70),

France (59),
Germany (45), UK (43), Japan (35) and Italy (29). Registered participants
belonged to
319 different organisations.

LREC 2002, which took place in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain), attracted
over 700 representatives, coming from 38 countries around the world, who could
take advantage of the numerous oral and poster presentations (around 365,
covering
every area in HLT).

A similar number of participants is expected at LREC 2004.
****************************************************************

C. LangTech 2003

ELDA, the Evaluations and Language resources Distribution Agency, is
organising the 2nd edition of the LangTech
forum. LangTech 2003 is dedicated to commercial and technical aspects of
speech and language technologies
and is therefore a market-oriented forum.

Both industrial and academic representatives involved in the development,
deployment and exploitation of spoken
and written language technologies will be present at LangTech 2003.

This exciting and informative event will be held in Paris, at Meridien

Montparnasse Hotel, on November 24-25 2003.

LangTech 2003 will capitalise on previous achievements, and address the

state of play from an industrial and R&D
perspective. Above all, it will demonstrate the potential for language and
speech technologies to help improve business
processes, highlighting the business needs and stimulating opportunities.
LangTech will cover areas related to voice
technologies and applications, knowledge management and the semantic web,
as well as multilingual aspects of
developed technologies. Indeed, speech and language technologies are
already widely used for example in. machine
translation, document retrieval, voice-control, speech recognition and

digital content localisation.

In addition to key presentations from leading industrial players, an
exhibition will be organised during the two-day
conference, where cutting-edge companies can showcase their products,
services and applications. LangTech 2003
will also include “elevator pitch” sessions, where SMEs and start-ups
involved in HLT will be able to present their
companies and products, as well as panels to discuss the key issues
affecting the market.

Join us at LangTech 2003, and take full advantage of the LangTech 2003

exhibition area to showcase your products,
meet your clients, and promote your activities. You can contact us, at

langtech2003@elda.fr.

If you would like to submit a proposal for the SME sessions, you will find
more information and guidelines on the
LangTech 2003 web site, at http://www.lang-tech.org.

The SME presentations aim to attract potential customers and/or investors,
and are judged by a panel of experts:
the best SME presentations will receive an award at the end of the forum.

Registration forms both for attendees and exhibitors are available on the
web. Registrations received before
September 8, 2003 will benefit from a discounted early bird delegate fee of
Euro 525, a discount of 100 Euro!
(Academic rate: Euro 325, Special price for Delegates from Accession countries)

We also offer our partners sponsorship opportunities. For more information,
please contact us at langtech2003@elda.fr.

Background:

The pace of commercial deployment and near-market maturity of speech and
language technologies over the
last few years led to the initial LangTech 2002 forum last September in

Berlin in order to showcase advancements
and bring developers, entrepreneurs and researchers together with
integrators, investors and corporations.

LangTech 2002 was attended by some 330 participants from over 30 countries
and across five continents. The programme featured presentations given by representatives of over 70
companies, from 20 nations. Most importantly,
nearly two-thirds of LangTech attendees came from industry or commercial
concerns. The programme also included
keynote speeches from major industrial players, as well as 23 SME elevator
pitch sessions which aimed to attract
customer and/or venture capital interest. There was also an exhibition in
which 20 European companies participated.
Complete information on LangTech 2002 can be viewed from the following web
site: http://www.lang-tech.org.

quelques 50 participants, et ce dans un esprit de convivialité.
La visite touristique des caves de la grande chartreuse et le
dîner de gala en montagne ont permis de renforcer le réseau RJC.
Un site - http://rjc2003.imag.fr/ - est en cours de
développement. Il contiendra les articles, photos et anecdotes de ces trois
jours.
