including registers, domains, frequency distribution
- use crawled Web data for NLP purposes (with emphasis on the data rather than
the use)
Call for papers
3rd Web as Corpus Workshop (WAC3)
Incorporating Cleaneval
An ACL-SIGWAC Event
Sept. 15-16, 2007
University of Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium
More and more people are using Web data for linguistic and NLP research. The
workshop provides a venue for exploring how we can use it effectively and what
we will find if we do.
Cleaneval
Anyone using Web data needs to clean it, to get rid of unwanted material
including, for example, HTML markup, navigation bars, advertisements. To date
there has been no sharing of resources or expertise and the cleaning has often
been done minimally. Cleaneval is an exercise to promote sharing and to improve
our understanding of the issues. It will take the now-familiar form of an open
competition and shared task. More info at Cleaneval Previous WAC workshops.

More info on WAC2 at EACL, Trento, Italy, April 2006.
Invited speaker: Kevin Scannell
