THEME
Ubiquitous
business, ambient intelligence, global digital libraries, lifelong learning,
virtual communities, are just a few of the visions for the future which will
bring unimaginable changes and new challenges for all of us. Human Language
Technology (HLT) is one of the key technologies to make these visions come true.
The main objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from both
natural language processing and information systems with the aim of encouraging
the exchange of ideas and experience between these two communities. It will
provide an international forum for the presentation of an overview of the most
recent trends in these two active research fields, and a common starting-point
to tackle the most pressing research problems and to address long-term research
issues.
Topics of interest include
but are not limited to:
- Natural language and speech
interfaces
- Multimodal and multilingual
interfaces
- Adaptive and personalized
interfaces
- HLT for information system
design
- HLT for conceptual
modeling
- HLT for requirements
engineering
- HLT for information retrieval and
filtering
- HLT for the WWW and the Semantic
Web
- HLT for mobile
applications
- HLT for digital
libraries
- HLT for education
systems
- HLT for e-business and
