FYI. This call for participation may be of interest to some. Its
focus is Asian languages, but contributions on "under-resourced
languages" from other regions are welcome. (Seen on Chinese@xxxxxxxxxx)

languages (SLTU) will be held at Hanoi University of Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam,
May 5 - May 7, 2008.

Web Site : http://www.mica.edu.vn/sltu
The
STLU meeting is a technical conference focused on spoken language processing
for under-resourced languages. This first workshop will focus on Asian
languages, and the idea is to mainly (but not exclusively) target languages of
the area (Vietnamese, Khmer, Lao, Chinese dialects, Thai, etc.). However, all
contributions on other under-resourced languages of the world are warmly
welcomed. The workshop aims at gathering researchers working on:
*
ASR, synthesis and speech translation for under-resourced languages
*
portability issues
*
fast resources acquisition (speech, text, lexicons, parallel corpora)
*
spoken language processing for languages with rich morphology
*
spoken language processing for languages without separators
*
spoken language processing for languages without writing system
*
