LTC 2013 - The 6th Language and Technology Conference

he 6th Language and Technology Conference (LTC'2013), a meeting organized by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland in collaboration with the Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation, will take place on December 7-9, 2013. Following the tradition of the past events, ELRA, FlaReNet, META-NET, as well as the City of Poznań are among the co-operating organizations.
Since the very beginning (1995) the meetings of the LTC series continue to address Human Language Technologies (HLT) as a challenge for computer science, linguistics and related fields. Fostering language technologies and resources remains an important mission in our dynamically changing information and knowledge society. We aim at contributing to this mission and invite you to join us at LTC'2013 in December 2013. As usual in Poznań, Poland.
