Language Resources: Integration and Development
in e-learning and in teaching Computational Linguistics.
International Workshop preceding LREC
2004
4th International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation
Lisbon, Portugal - 24th May 2004
Language resources (LRs) are of crucial importance not only for
research and development in language and speech technology but also for
teaching purposes. E-learning added a new dimension to the usability of
language resources and made them interesting outside the area of computational
linguistics.
This one-day workshop will focus on the integration of LRs in the educational
process and the relation between LRs and e-learning. Special attention
will be dedicated to the use of LRs in the curriculum of computational
linguistics. Its goal is four-fold:
-
to provide a forum for presentation, discussion and case collections of
the use of LRs in in Linguistics and Computational Linguistics
-
to discuss the additional skills acquired by the students when using or
developing LRs (e.g. how to acquire standards);
-
to discuss how the competence built up in the development of LRs
could be used for creating better interfaces for educational material;
-
to discuss how LRs could be included in electronic scientific handbooks,
which are crucial for hands-on experience in e-learning.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-
necessity of LRs in the curriculum;
-
types of LRs used in the curriculum;
-
integration of LRs in the curriculum;
-
format and storage of LRs;
-
access to and distribution of multilingual LR's for different purposes(e.g.
Machine Translation, E-learning lessons, scientific manuals or electronic
handbooks)
The workshop will bring together (computational) linguists, LRs
developers, developers of e-learning material, e-publishers and teachers.
It will provide a forum for interaction among members of possibly disparate
research communities, and a means for attendees to increase their knowledge
and understanding of the potential of LRs in teaching computational linguistics
and e-learning.
The workshop will feature also a panel discussing longer-term activities
such as a mailing list, an archive of educational materials based on LRs,
etc. However the main goal of this workshop would be laying the groundwork
for further professional collaboration in integrating LRs within different
types
