A Roadmap for Computational Linguistics Steven Krauwer ELSNET / Utrecht University (NL) ELSNET Review
Overview • What is ELSNET • What is a roadmap • Our approach • Today’s workshop • Today’s programme ELSNET Review
What is ELSNET • European Network of Excellence in Human Language Technologies (ca 135 academic and industrial members) • Funded by the European Commission • Created in 1991 • Objectives • Bringing together the Language and Speech Communities • Bringing together Academia and Industry • Bringing together Langauge and Speech Communities world-wide ELSNET Review
How does it work (1) • NOT by doing or funding research • By facilitating research, e.g. • Training actions, e.g. • summer schools • curriculum development • Info dissemination, e.g. • Web: www.elsnet.org, www.hltcentral.org • Quarterly newsletter • Mailing lists ELSNET Review
How does it work (2) • Bringing parties together • Directories of experts and organisations • Strategic workshops • Actions in the fields of • Resources • Evaluation • Standards • Roadmapping ELSNET Review
What is a roadmap • A broadly supported view of where our field is going (research, technology, market) • Which should help us (= researchers, developers, providers, funders) to • Identify main challenges • Concentrate efforts • Set intermediate milestones • Measure progress ELSNET Review
Our approach • See Hans Uszkoreit’s talk • Done so far (www.elsnet.org/roadmap.html): • Internal workshop (report in proceedings) • Workshop at ACL/EACL2002 (KM) (same) • Workshop at MT Summit 2001 (MT) • Workshop at TMI 2002 (MT) • Workshop at LREC 2002 (Multimodal Resources) ELSNET Review
Today’s workshop • Focus on CL (i.e. more research than applications) • Mix of submitted talks and invited area reports • Goal: • identify research directions emerging from this conference for a number of subareas • identify the main challenges and milestones • suggest things we can do to make the future happen sooner • Results: published on the web and integrated in the roadmap ELSNET Review
