Goals
In spite of the wide availability of more powerful (context-free, mildly
context-sensitive, and even Turing-equivalent) formalisms, the bulk of the
applied work on language and sublanguage modeling, especially for the
purposes of recognition and topic search, is still performed by various
finite state methods. In fact, the use of such methods in research labs as
well as in applied work actually increased in the past five years. The goal
of the workshop is to bring together those developing and using extended
finite state methods to text analysis, speech/OCR language modeling, and
related CL and NLP tasks with those in AI and CS interested in analyzing and
possibly extending the domain of finite-state algorithms.
Format
To encourage a workshop atmosphere, main papers (25 minutes) will be
followed by commentaries (10 minutes) and 10 minutes of open
discussion. Altogether, we will have 21 papers and 10
commentaries.
