Linguistic Sub-field: Computational Linguistics 

This is a session of the following conference: 20th International
Conference on Computational Linguistics

Meeting Description:

The workshop will focus on adaptation and mobile technology in
intelligent interactive systems. Especially, advanced research on
machine learning techniques and robust technology needed in building
adaptive systems will be discussed and demonstrated. The workshop
papers investigate adaptive multilingual interaction techniques that
can be used to handle both spoken and text input and to provide
coordinated linguistic responses to the user.

The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussing how
adaptive information processing can be combined in spoken dialogue
systems to offer natural and rich interaction with various users. The
workshop will also function as the final workshop of the EU-IST
project DUMAS, and thus combine high-quality research (presented at
the workshop and at the preceding main conference) with practical
development prospects for human language technology.


The two-day workshop is organized around presentations, demonstrations
and invited talks. It will finish with a panel discussion on Future
Challenges. The programme can be found at
