The ACL holds an international meeting every year. In July
last year, the 40th conference of the ACL in Philadelphia
brought together approximately 700 professionals from around
the world. A dramatic increase in number of participants
suggests that the opportunity for sharing ideas regarding
both computational linguistics and natural language
processing is highly valued, with rapid development in the
Internet and the Web-based information exchanges. The
continued success and growth of the ACL annual conferences
also ascertain the development of natural language
processing technologies that enable access to information
regardless of language barriers or the human-machine border
have been a key factor for global sharing of knowledge.
If you have a commercial product
or service of interest to the natural language processing
community, the ACL 2003 Exhibits Program is the perfect way
to introduce it to your potential customers. Aspects of
computational linguistics application field include:
Semantic Web, Robot, mobile communications, speech
translation, intelligent information contents and
e-journals. The ACL is the only conference to be held in
Asia in 2003 that will attract this many of your targeted
customers.
The ACL 2003 exhibits space is
ideally located adjacent to the paper presentation rooms and
break areas. High-speed Internet connectivity and telephone
connections, as well as a wide range of audio-visual
equipment are available.
A wide range of products will be
featured in the exhibits program, including:
- Natural language processing
technology including systems for machine translation,
natural language understanding, dialog processing and
natural language generation
- Natural language processing
components such as lexicons and parsers
- Tools and software used in
natural language processing research, such as tools for
corpora analysis and NL processing analysis
- Tools and software used in
developing natural language applications, for example,
dialog design tools and tools for customizing NLP and
speech recognition systems
