CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The Northern European Association for Language Technology (NEALT)
invites proposals for workshop at its bi-annual conference on human
language and speech technologies. NoDaLiDa 2015 will be held between
May 11 and May 13, 2015, on the campus of the University of Vilnius
in Lithuania. Please mark your calendars.

NoDaLiDa addresses all aspects of speech recognition and synthesis,
natural language processing, and computational linguistics—including
work in closely related neighbouring disciplines (such as, for example,
linguistics or psychology) that is sufficiently formalized or applied
to bear relevance to speech and language technologies.

We invite proposals for workshops, to be held on Monday, May 11,
immediately preceding the main conference. Workshops can be either
scheduled for a full day (morning and afternoon) or for half a day.
Workshop proposals can be submitted in free-text form, anytime before
Monday, December 8, by email to ‘nodalida15 [at] stp.lingfil.uu.se’.

Workshop proposals must include adequate information on at least the
following aspects:

+ proposed workshop title
+ topic and goals of the workshop
+ target group and estimated attendance
+ workshop organizer(s) and contact(s)
+ mode of organization and programme design
