I'm sure you guys are aware of this. It would be nice to have something
written for this event...
Apertium financial support support might be made available by the PMC
for those wanting to travel in case of acceptance, as has been done in
the past.
I'll be happy to help by reading drafts --- but don't send them on
September 4!

Subject: 2nd CFP for LRL 2011: Addressing the Gaps in Language
Resources and Technologies (deadline September 5, 2011)

Dear Colleagues,
Please notice that the Call for Papers for the 2nd Less-Resourced Languages Workshop:
"Addressing the Gaps in Language Resources and Technologies" (a jointJ
LTC-ELRA-FLaReNet-META-NET event) is open until September 5, 2011 (the LRL deadlines are
independent from the general LTC deadlines).
Covering the existing gaps in Language Resources (LR) and Technologies (LT) is a challenging task
not only for the so-called "Less-Resourced Languages" (LRL) but also for the
technologically more advanced ones. Therefore we believe that this workshop will be of general
interest for all. Still, the needs of the less-resourced languages are worth being specifically
considered in order to reduce the unbalanced situation among languages. The previous joint
LTC-FLaReNet workshop on "Getting Less-Resourced Languages on-Board!" (LTC 2009) aimed at
drawing a picture of the Language Resources (LR) and Language Technologies (LT) availability and
quality, especially for the less-resourced languages. Following its success, this second workshop
aims at adding the novel topics of gap identification and their possible filling.
The workshop will draw on the inventories of all language technologies and
resources that are presently being carried out, such as the ones conducted by
FlaReNet, ELRA or META-NET (e.g. LRE Map, Program Surveys, Language Matrixes,
Language Gaps, META-SHARE infrastructure). These are now available and help
better understand the current landscape and work out the possible solutions,
for each individual language and technology. The idea is to discuss
availability, quality, maturity, sustainability, and gaps of the LR and LT for
a number of languages and technologies. The importance of this confrontation
and analysis will be reflected by the way conclusions will be endorsed by the
participants.
We kindly encourage all people interested in the workshop to bring their
contributions in form of regular papers or/and personal participation in the
workshop panels and debates (program under construction). For submission
details and other important information please do visit the LTC web site:
