Subject: Conference on Language and Technology
Full Title: Conference on Language and Technology Short Title: CLT07
Date: 07-Aug-2007 - 11-Aug-2007 Location: Bara Gali Campus Peshawar NWFP, Pakistan Contact Person: Dr Mohammad Abid Khan Meeting Email: abid_khan1961yahoo.com Web Site: http://www.dcs.edu.pk/clt/
Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics
Call Deadline: 09-Apr-2007
Meeting Description:
Aims and Objectives: - To Create Awareness among the people about Pakistani languages and how modern technology can be used for their promotion. - To provide a platform for researchers in this field of study. - To ultimately establish centers of excellence in computational linguistics throughout the country for the detailed study and research.
Background: The fields of linguistics and computational linguistics are very important. Throughout the world there are hundreds of institutes offering degrees in these disciplines and people are doing research for their languages. Unfortunately, the importance of these disciplines is not realized (as it should have been) in Pakistan. Research in this area is mostly limited to individual efforts that need to be transformed into institutionalization. The conference is an effort to educate the masses and the decision-making authorities to realize the importance of these extremely needed disciplines especially in this modern age of computers.
Areas of Research: Some of the areas of research include (but not limited to):
- Ambiguity resolution - Anaphora Resolution - Character Recognition - Corpus Linguistics - Discourse Analysis - Ellipses Resolution - Fonts - Information Retrieval - Localization - Machine Translation - Morphology - OCR - Part-of-Speech Tagging - Pattern Recognition - Phonology - Semantics - Speech Recognition - Syntax - Text-to-Speech
