OSU hosts Computational Linguistics conference
With great pride, Ohio State and Columbus welcome the 46th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) June 15 - 20, 2008, hosted by Ohio State. This meeting combines the Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) with the Human Language Technology Conference (HLT) of the North American Chapter of the ACL. As the ACL approaches its golden anniversary, it has grown into the preeminent international organization for professionals working on problems involving natural language and computation. This conference in particular “covers a broad spectrum of disciplines working towards enabling intelligent systems to interact with humans using natural language, and towards enhancing human-human communication through services such as speech recognition, automatic translation, information retrieval, text summarization, and information extraction.
Members of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering have active roles in this conference. During the proceedings, Dr. Hui Fang, CSE Assistant Professor, will present her work, "A Re-examination of Query expansion Using Lexical Resources." Dr. Chris Brew is chairing the local arrangements committee; Dr. Eric Fosler-Lussier also serves on the committee (along with other Ohio State Faculty) and is co-chair for publicity.
