WILDRE -- the 2nd workshop on Indian Language Data: Resources and
Evaluation is being organized in Reykjavik, Iceland on 27th May,
2014 under the LREC platform. India has a huge linguistic diversity
and has seen concerted efforts from the Indian government and
industry towards developing language resources. European Language
Resource Association (ELRA) and its associate organizations have
been very active and successful in addressing the challenges and
opportunities related to language resource creation and evaluation.
It is therefore a great opportunity for resource creators of Indian
languages to showcase their work on this platform and also to
interact and learn from those involved in similar initiatives all
over the world.
The broader objectives of the WILDRE will be
* To map the status of Indian Language Resources
* To investigate challenges related to creating and sharing
various levels of language resources
* To promote a dialogue between language resource developers and
users
* To provide opportunity for researchers from India to collaborate
with researchers from other parts of the world
*DATES *
February 17, 2014 Paper submissions due
March 10, 2014 Paper notification of acceptance
April 4, 2014 Camera-ready papers due
May 27, 2014 Workshop
*SUBMISSIONS *
Papers must describe original, completed or in progress, and unpublished
work. Each submission will be reviewed by two program committee members.
Accepted papers will be given up to 10 pages (for full papers) 5 pages

Please submit papers in PDF/doc format to the LREC website
We are seeking submissions under the following category
* Full papers (10 pages)
* Short papers (work in progress -- 5 pages)
* Posters (innovative ideas/proposals, research proposal of students)
* Demo (of working online/standalone systems)
Though our area of interest covers all NLP/language technology related
activity for Indian languages, we would like to focus on the resource
creation in the following areas-
* Text corpora
* Speech corpora
* Lexicons and Machine-readable dictionaries
* Ontologies
* Grammars
* Annotation of corpora
* Language resources for basic NLP, IR and Speech Technology tasks,
tools and
* Infrastructure for constructing and sharing language resources
* Standards or specifications for language resources applications
* Licensing and copyright issues
Both submission and review processes will handled electronically using
the Start interface of the LREC website. The workshop website will
provide the submission guidelines and the link for the electronic
submission.
When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to
provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e.
also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used
for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your
research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC authors to share the
described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.), to enable their reuse,
replicability of experiments, including evaluation ones, etc...
