Asia, the land of language variation,
is suffering from the shortage of sharing the resource and cross language
problem solving experience. There are several reports referring to the
success of constructing and using corpora in many dimensions. However,
there are few efforts in establishing common formats or frameworks for
handling these languages. The re-organizing the existing resources and
finding for the guideline in corpus development become significant issue
in the current research.
The 4th workshop on Asian Language Resources will
be held with the following purposes:
- To investigate and discuss the problems related
to the construction, dissemination and NLP research based on Asian Language
Resources
- To establish the collaborative effort on Asian
language resources construction, management, accessibility, distribution,
and sharing
- To launch the Asian Language Resources road map
- To introduce the status of Asian language resources
to researchers in other regions
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Text corpora
- Lexicons
- Grammars
- Machine-readable dictionaries
- Ontology
- Exchange and annotation schemata
- Infrastructure for constructing and sharing language
resources
- Exchange formats
- Best practices for creating and disseminating
language resources
- Meta data for resource classification and discovery
- Strategies and priorities for EU-US and Asian
cooperation
- Standards for language resources (lexicons, corpora,
ontologies, etc.)
- Lexical standards and multi-linguality
- Standards for content management
- Standards and applications
- Standards and evaluation
