Meeting Description: Finite-State Methods and Natural Language Processing - FSMNLP 2012
10th International Workshop
University of the Basque Country, Donostia - San Sebastián
July 23-25, 2012
http://ixa2.si.ehu.es/fsmnlp2012/

The International Workshop Series of Finite-State Methods and Natural Language Processing (FSMNLP) is the premier forum of the ACL Special Interest Group on Finite-State Methods (SIGFSM). It serves researchers and practitioners working on

- natural language processing (NLP) applications or language resources
- theoretical and implementation aspects, or
- their combinations

that have obvious relevance or an explicitly discussed relation to Finite-State Methods in NLP. This year, the Finite-State Methods and Natural Language Processing (FSMNLP) workshop is part of the Alan Turing Year on the occasion of the Centenary Celebration of his life and work.

Invited Speakers:

Kimmo Koskenniemi (University of Helsinki)

Tutorials:

We have planned a series of short tutorials (30-60 min. each) addressing some specific application or topic in a concise manner. So far, the following tutorials are planned:

- Spelling and grammar correction with FSTs (Iñaki Alegria, Mans Hulden)
- Probabilistic parsing with weighted FSTs (Miikka Silfverberg, University of Helsinki)
- Machine learning of automata and transducers

Previous Editions:

Nine FSMNLP workshops have been organized in the past in: Blois (2011), Pretoria (2009), Ispra (2008), Potsdam (2007), Helsinki (2005), Budapest (2003), Helsinki (2001), Ankara (1998), Budapest (1996).

Related Events:

FSMNLP 2012 will be organized shortly before CIAA. The 17th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata (CIAA) will take place in Porto, Portugal on July 17-20, 2012 (800 km from Donostia-San Sebastián).

These consecutive periods as well as the European locations facilitate the attendance at both conferences.
