Final Call for Papers

New Challenges for NLP Frameworks, a workshop at LREC 2010

22 May 2010, La Valleta, Malta

---

Natural language processing frameworks like GATE and UIMA have significantly changed the way NLP applications are designed, developed, and deployed. In this workshop, we bring together NLP framework designers and their users to showcase existing solutions and new challenges to be tackled in the next generation of NLP frameworks.

I presented two papers at ASWC 2008 in Bangkok. One was my own: Ralf Krestel, Ling Chen -
"The Art of Tagging: Measuring the Quality of Tags" and the other was Rene's: Rene Witte, Thomas Gitzinger -
"Semantic Assistants – User-Centric Natural Language Processing Services for Desktop Clients". Attached a photo of myself explaining the future work for the semantic assistants :) Nice conference, nice people, nice country and - compared to Canada and Germany - very nice weather!
