The Croatian Language Technologies Society (CLTS), the Institute for Croatian Language and Linguistics, and the School of Humanities at the University of Split are pleased to sponsor the inaugural meeting of the Workshop on Computational Linguistics held in Split, Croatia, focusing on the topic of "Computational Modeling of Lexical Acquisition". We will build on the topics in formal-theoretical and computational linguistics, in particular on issues in learnability, complexity and modeling of lexical knowledge.
This workshop will expand into a fixed annual event organized by the Croatian Language Technologies Society (CLTS) to be hosted, in turn, and shared among all interested and committed Croatian Universities.
We strongly encourage students to participate at this workshop and join the tutorial sessions!
Thomas Hanneforth (University of Potsdam) "Finite State Modeling and the Potsdam FSMLib"
Damir Ćavar (Indiana University) "Vector Space Modeling, Latent Semantic Analysis, Clustering Algorithms for Lexical Acquisition"
Miroslav Martinović (The College of New Jersey) "Open Domain Question-Answering Systems - From Design to Development and Implementation"
Papers and presentations will be published online and on a CD-ROM distributed during the workshop. All tutorial material, necessary programs and example code will be published on the workshop CD-ROM as well.
