&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;SIGWAC report to ACL Board for year 2007-2008&lt;br /&gt;
Adam Kilgarriff  (outgoing Chair)&lt;br /&gt;
29 April 2008&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SIGWAC has had a successful year.  In September 2007 it held a two-day&lt;br /&gt;
workshop at UniversitÃ© Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, attended by thirty-two&lt;br /&gt;
people.  The workshop had two parts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
â€¢  a general workshop, chaired by CÃ©dric Fairon and Gilles-Maurice de Schryver&lt;br /&gt;
â€¢  the CLEANEVAL workshop, chaired by Marco Baroni, Serge Sharoff and Adam&lt;br /&gt;
   Kilgarriff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The general workshop had eight papers including an invited speaker, Kevin&lt;br /&gt;
Scannell.  We are most grateful for ACL support for his travel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CLEANEVAL was a competitive evaluation for taking arbitrary web pages and&lt;br /&gt;
cleaning them up to give a useful linguistics corpus.  It was conducted for&lt;br /&gt;
two languages, English and Chinese.  There were nine participating teams,&lt;br /&gt;
from four continents and including students, academics and one company. A&lt;br /&gt;
full report will be presented at LREC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will also be a fourth WAC workshop at LREC, June 1st 2008.  There were&lt;br /&gt;
fifteen submissions of which nine were selected for presentation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An Advanced Course in Web as Corpus (ACWAC) is being planned for September&lt;br /&gt;
2008 in Brno, Czech Republic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have just completed the process of electing a new chair.  As of May 2008,&lt;br /&gt;
the chair is Serge Sharoff of Leeds Univ, UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adam Kilgarriff (outgoing chair, 22 May 2008)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Addendum by Serge Sharoff (June 4, 2008):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fourth WAC workshop happened as scheduled on June 1 after LREC&lt;br /&gt;
and it was quite successful.  The proceedings are available online at&lt;br /&gt;
