Welcome to EMALP 2008

The EMALP 2008 is a part of The Tenth Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (PRICAI 2008).

With the rapid increasing number of text documents written in Asian languages, the development of fundamental methods, tools, and corpora for processing Asian languages would be expected as key solutions for helping Asian people to effectively access and communicate with people in the world. Empirical methods are considered as key techniques for dealing with natural language processing problems. For instance, machine translation, text summarization, and information extraction are clear examples for illustrating the efficiency of employing empirical methods. To enhance studies on empirical methods for Asian languages, this international workshop for Asian language processing will be held which aims at inviting researchers and developers in the area to come to discuss and exchange new ideas and the latest achievements in the field of language processing. The scope of the workshop covers applications, systems, technologies and theoretical aspects of empirical methods for Asian language processing.

We invite authors to submit papers on any aspect of the empirical method for Asian language processing research and practice. All papers will be peer reviewed, and papers accepted for the workshop will be included in a proceeding.

EMALP will be held at Hanoi, Vietnam.
