COLING 2002
Post-Conference Workshop

The 3rd Workshop on Asian Language Resources and International
Standardization

Center of Academica Activities, Academia Sinica Taipei, Taiwan
August 31, 2002

Description
Language resources play an important role in recent corpus-based
natural language processing research. A lot of effort has been focused
on compiling various kinds of language resources, particularly in the
US and European countries. In addition, standards represent a
necessary step to consolidate technological achievements in this
sector, to enhance and foster the exchange of know-how between
research and industry, and to define infrastructures for the re-use
and sharing of existing language resources through the specification
of common formats and frameworks. Since 1993 the Commission of the
European Union has been actively supporting the standardization
process in human language technology, in particular by sponsoring the
EAGLES initiative. This activity has extended to the framework of the
EU-US International Research Co-operation, supported by NSF and the
European Union

Compared to English and many European languages the availability and
accessibility of Asian language resources is still limited. Moreover,
there is more diversity of Asian languages from viewpoints of
character sets and grammatical properties. Because of these
peculiarities, Asian languages do not always fit with the existing
linguistic resource standardization frameworks.

We have held two workshops on the same topic, the first was in January
of 2001 at Tokyo on invited basis and the second was in conjunction
with the 6th Natural Language Processing Pacific Rim Symposium (NLPRS
2001) in November of 2001 at Tokyo
([http://tokunaga-www.cs.titech.ac.jp/~take/LRA/index.html](<https://web.archive.org/web/20050425132348/http://tokunaga-www.cs.titech.ac.jp/~take/LRA/index.html>)). In this
third workshop, we would like to put emphasis on standardization of
Asian language resources, and to provide a chance to discuss research
results and the possibilities of international collaboration on the
development of Asian language resources in the future. The workshop
also aims to introduce the status of Asian language resources to
researchers in other regions.

We invite papers on all topics related to language resources, in
particular Asian language resources and their development including,
but not limited to:
* Text corpora
* Machine-readable dictionaries
* Lexicons
* Grammars
* Exchange and annotation schemata
* Infrastructure for constructing and sharing language resources
* Exchange formats
* Best practices for creating and disseminating language resources
* Metadata for resource classification and discovery
* Strategies and priorities for EU-US and Asian cooperation
* Standards for language resources (lexicons, corpora, ontologies,
etc.)
* Lexical standards and multilinguality
* Standards for content management
* Standards and applications
* Standards and evaluation


Schedule
