SIGWAC report Adam Kilgarriff ============= 1) July 2005: WAC1 workshop, Birmingham UK. (ca 40 attendees) 2) March 2006: SIGWAC approved by ACL 3) April 2006, EACL: WAC2 workshop, Trento, Italy (ca 30 attendees) Both events were energetic and successful. We are now planning a competition/shared task, CLEANEVAL, where the task is to produce clean text from arbitrary web pages. There are good reasons to believe this is the bottleneck to progress for many strands of NLP. Watch this space. AK, 26.6.06 ===================================================
