conference held biannually since 1993 with the cooperative effort of a number of
universities in Thailand. The purpose of SNLP is to promote research in natural
language processing by bringing together researchers and practitioners in the 
field to exchange ideas and present results on machine translation, information 
retrieval and speech processing technology.
