Workshop: Support for Workshop on Multilingual Information Management

本次研讨会旨在解决如何将当前技术组装成一个多语言多功能自然语言系统的连贯框架的问题。随着世界越来越依赖全球信息资源，越来越多地利用多模式和多语言技术为单语言用户群体服务。本工作坊将探讨多语言资源、资讯检索、机器翻译、多语言语音识别、跨语言摘要与资讯撷取、多媒体通讯、评鉴与评估，以及自然语言处理的方法与技术。经过公众讨论和批评后，将向发起人提交一份报告。

This workshop is intended to address questions of how current technologies can be assembled into a coherent framework for multi-functional natural language systems in multiple languages. As the world becomes more and more dependent on global information resources, multimodal and multilingual technologies are being increasingly drawn upon to serve monolingual user populations. This workshop will assess multilingual resources, information retrieval, machine translation, multilingual speech recognition, cross- lingual summarization and information extraction, multimedia communication, evaluation and assessment, and methods and techniques for natural language processing. A report will be presented to the sponsors after public discussion and critique.
