Workshop on Computational Linguistics and Writing: Writing Processes and Authoring Aids
CL&W 2010 > Program

Program

The workshop will take place on June 6, 2010, in room “Roman” in the Millenium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles.

We will have three session with talks from computational linguistics and from writing research and a plenary discussion.  The time slot for each talk will be 25 minutes, including discussion. During breaks participants of CL&W 2010 can meet with participants of other workshops at NAACL-HLT.

The workshop will end with a discussion intended to combine views from computational linguistics and writing research, to identify future directions for research, and to stimulate interdisciplinary networking and cooperation between writing researchers and computational linguists.
