All these valuable language resources are most of the time ignored by the public and often not known by the researchers and students working on these languages. MALINDO, as an annual international workshop, aims to bring together researchers and practitioners, representing different perspectives, to share and to exchange their ideas on the processing of South East Asian languages. Because of the venue of the 2012 Workshop, the Organisers of MALINDO will anticipate papers related to the processing of the varieties of Borneo languages. MALINDO's objective is to highlight the effort and promising works done on the processing of the South East Asian languages, thus attracting more students to the CL and NLP fields. The MALINDO workshops are co-organized by three South East Asian universities: Universitas Indonesia (Depok, Indonesia), the National University of Singapore (NUS, Singapore), and Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS, Malaysia). Call for Papers: Topics of Interest: The topics of the papers are requested to be in all areas related to the language processing - computational and theoretical point of view - of South East Asian languages (Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, etc.): Language resources development, acquisition, annotation, and representation: dictionaries, thesauri, terminology, lexicons, written and spoken corpora, grammars, ontology; Tools and techniques: spelling/grammatical/style checkers, morphological analyser, stemmer, lemmatiser, part of speech tagger, chunker, syntactic parser, word sense disambiguator, discourse processing, text and speech alignment, text and speech segmentation, term extraction and recognition, named entity extraction; Applications: machine translation and translation aids, information retrieval, information extraction, text summarisation, term extraction, natural language generation, question translation aids, information retrieval, information extraction, text summarization, term extraction, natural language generation, question answering, document categorization, language identification, speech recognition, speech synthesis, character recognition, e-learning.
