Human Language Technologies 2010 conference takes place in Los Angeles, June 1-6

Noisy data from sources like social media, machine translations and speech a major focus

The North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL) is pleased to announce the Human Language Technologies 2010 conference (NAACL HLT 2010).

The event will take place June 1-6, 2010 in downtown Los Angeles, at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel.

The conference 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.

This year, there is a special focus on research with noisy data, including data from informal communications (such as Twitter, blogs, e-mail, SMS) and processed data (such as speech, OCR, historical data, and machine translation).

NAACL HLT 2010 will feature full papers, short papers, demonstrations, and a doctoral consortium, as well as pre-conference tutorials and post-conference workshops:

Tutorials Tuesday June 1, 2010
Main Conference Wed–Fri June 2-4, 2010
Workshops Sat–Sun June 5-6, 2010
