LREC 2010 (7th International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation)

In 12 years – the first LREC was held in Granada in 1998 – LREC has become the major event on Language Resources (LRs) and Evaluation for Human Language Technologies (HLT). The aim of LREC is to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art, explore new R&D directions and emerging trends, exchange information regarding LRs and their applications, evaluation methodologies and tools, ongoing and planned activities, industrial uses and needs, requirements coming from the e-society, both with respect to policy issues and to technological and organisational ones.

LREC provides a unique forum for researchers, industrials and funding agencies from across a wide spectrum of areas to discuss problems and opportunities, find new synergies and promote initiatives for international cooperation, in support to investigations in language sciences, progress in language technologies and development of corresponding products, services and applications, and standards.

CONFERENCE TOPICS

Issues in the design, construction and use of Language Resources (LRs): text, speech, other associated media and modalities

* Guidelines, standards, specifications, models and best practices for LRs
* Methodologies and tools for LRs construction and annotation
* Methodologies and tools for the extraction and acquisition of knowledge
* Ontologies and knowledge representation
* Terminology
* Integration between (multilingual) LRs, ontologies and Semantic Web technologies
* Metadata descriptions of LRs and metadata for semantic/content markup
* Validation, quality assurance, evaluation of LRs

Exploitation of LRs in different types of systems and applications

* For: information extraction, information retrieval, speech dictation, mobile communication, machine translation, summarisation, semantic search, text mining, inferencing, reasoning, etc.
* In different types of interfaces: (speech-based) dialogue systems, natural language and multimodal/multisensorial interactions, voice activated services, etc.
* Communication with neighbouring fields of applications, e.g. e-government, e-culture, e-health, e-participation, mobile applications, etc.
* Industrial LRs requirements, user needs

Issues in Human Language Technologies evaluation

* HLT Evaluation methodologies, protocols and measures
* Benchmarking of systems and products
* Usability evaluation of HLT-based user interfaces, interactions and dialogue systems
* Usability and user satisfaction evaluation

General issues regarding LRs & Evaluation

* National and international activities and projects
* Priorities, perspectives, strategies in national and international policies for LRs
* Open architectures
* Organisational, economical and legal issues
