The second International Workshop on Spoken Languages Technologies for Under-resourced languages (SLTU’10) will be held at University Sains Malaysia (USM), Penang, Malaysia, May 3 to May 5, 2010.The first workshop on Spoken Languages Technologies for Under-Resourced Languages was organized in Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2008 by Multimedia, Information, Communication and Applications (MICA) research center in Vietnam and Laboratoire d’Informatique de Grenoble (LIG) in France. This first workshop gathered 40 participants during three days. More details are available on http://www.mica.edu.vn/sltu/
SLTU is an abbreviation for “Spoken Languages Technologies for Under-Resourced Languages" that represents a group of researchers that are interested in natural language processing (NLP) and computational linguistics (CL) particularly in spoken languages where their data resources are rather limited such as the native language of Sabah and Sarawak, aborigines’ language, Vietnamese language, Cambodian language, languages from Africa region and other parts of the world. Apart from that, researchers in this field are also interested in foreign dialects. Therefore, Malay dialects and Malaysian English spoken by local people have also been included.
The first SLTU workshop was held in Hanoi, Vietnam organized by MICA Laboratory. A total of 20 research papers were presented during the 3 day workshop.
For 2010, we intend to attract more participants, especially from the local regional zone (Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Australia, ...). The workshop will take place inside USM in Penang, Malaysia. SLTU research workshop will focus on spoken language processing for under-resourced languages and aims at gathering researchers working on:
ASR, synthesis and translation for under-resourced languages
portability issues
multilingual spoken language processing
fast resources acquisition (speech, text, lexicons, parallel corpora)
spoken language processing for languages with rich morphology
spoken language processing for languages without separators
spoken language processing for languages without writing system
NLP for rare or endangered languages
