EMALP 2008

With the rapid increasing number of text documents written in Asian languages, the development of fundamental methods, tools, and corpora for processing Asian languages would be expected as key solutions for helping Asian people to effectively access and communicate with people in the world. Empirical methods are considered as key techniques for dealing with natural language processing problems. For instance, machine translation, text summarization, and information extraction are clear examples for illustrating the efficiency of employing empirical methods. To enhance studies on empirical methods for Asian languages, we would like to hold an international workshop for Asian language processing which aims at inviting researchers and developers in the area to come to discuss and exchange new ideas and the latest achievements in the field of language processing. The scope of the workshop covers applications, systems, technologies and theoretical aspects of empirical methods for Asian language processing. This CfP was obtained from WikiCFP
