Towards a Roadmap for Multimodal Language Resources and Evaluation

OVERVIEW

Towards a Roadmap for Multimodal Language Resources and Evaluation

An ELSNET workshop at LREC 2002

Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain

Sunday, June 2 2002

Aim of the workshop:

The aim of the proposed workshop was to bring together key players in the field of resources and evaluation in order to make a first step towards the creation of a broadly supported Roadmap for Language Resources, i.e. a broadly supported view on the longer, medium and shorter term needs and priorities. This activity should be seen in the context of ELSNET's other roadmapping activities (see http://www.elsnet.org/roadmap.html), which aim at developing a technological roadmap for the whole field of Human Language Technologies.

The purpose of such roadmaps is to give the R&D community an instrument to identify opportunities for concertation of their activities and better exploitation of possible synergies between players all over the world.

Scope of this workshop:

The scope of this roadmapping workshop was narrowed down to a specific sub-area: Multimodal Language Resources and Evaluation. This made it possible for us to exploit the fact that this workshop took place the day after the workshop dedicated to Multimodal Resources and Evaluation of Multimodal Systems (MREMS) in general, organized by Mark Maybury (Mitre) and Jean-Claude Martin (LIMSI).
