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.
