The seventh international conference on Language
Resources and Evaluation (LREC) will be organised in 2010 by ELRA in
cooperation with a wide range of international associations and
organisations.
In 12 years – the first LREC was held in Granada in
1998 – LREC has become the major event on Language Resources (LRs) and
Evaluation for Human Language Technologies (HLT). The aim of LREC is to
provide an overview of the state-of-the-art, explore new R&D
directions and emerging trends, exchange information regarding LRs and
their applications, evaluation methodologies and tools, ongoing and
planned activities, industrial uses and needs, requirements coming from
the e-society, both with respect to policy issues and to technological
and organisational ones.
LREC provides a unique forum for researchers,
industrials and funding agencies from across a wide spectrum of areas
to discuss problems and opportunities, find new synergies and promote
initiatives for international cooperation, in support to investigations
in language sciences, progress in language technologies and development
of corresponding products, services and applications, and standards.
