Workshop on Computer Assisted Translation of Alaska Native Languages (CATANAL), May 19 - 22, 1999, Fairbanks, Alaska

9907441 AkasofuThe Computer-Assisted Translation of Alaska Native Languages（CATANAL）Project旨在探索计算语言学、机器翻译、语音识别和光学字符识别在阿拉斯加原住民语言翻译和保存中的应用。保护和翻译阿拉斯加土著语言的迫切需要来自社会和自然科学中的一些问题，以及在千年之交塑造北极事件的强大力量所造成的教育，政治和经济问题。该项目将开发一个简洁的声明中最重要的需求在翻译和保存的母语和什么样的作用计算语言学可以在解决这些问题。该项目将支持举办一个有对此问题感兴趣的各方参加的讲习班。讲习班计划于1999年5月19日至22日在阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯新的国际北极研究中心举行。在讲习班之前，组织和指导委员会开展了活动。讲习班结束后，将编写和分发一份报告。该项目得到了阿拉斯加州一些组织的联合支持。

9907441AkasofuThe Computer-Assisted Translation of Alaska Native Languages (CATANAL) Project is designed to explore the application of computational linguistics, machine translation, speech recognition and optical character recognition to the translation and preservation of Alaska Native languages. The urgent need to preserve and translate the Alaska Native languages derives from a number of problems in the social and natural sciences, as well as educational, political, and economic problems caused by powerful forces that are shaping events in the Arctic at the turn of the millennium. This project will develop a succinct statement of the most important needs in translation and preservation of the Native Languages and what role computational linguistics can play in addressing these problems. This project will support a workshop involving parties interested in this problem. The workshop is planned for May 19-22, 1999 at the new International Arctic Research Center (IARC) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). The workshop has been preceded by organizational and steering committee activities. Following the workshop a report will be produced and disseminated. This project is jointly supported with a number of organizations in the State of Alaska.
