SIGWAC report to ACL Board for year 2009-2010 Serge Sharoff 2 June 2010
SIGWAC had another successful year. The last workshop (WAC5) was held on 7 September 2009 in San Sebastian, Spain, co-located with SEPLN, the Spanish NLP conference. We have obtained funding for an invited speaker and invited Dekang Lin from Google to talk on "Unsupervised acquisition of lexical knowledge from the Web". We had about 50 participants and nine papers.
The next WAC6 workshop will be co-located with NAACL-HLT in Los Angeles on 5 June 2010. It was the first time we moved the workshop out of Europe and this resulted in a smaller number of submissions (with only five papers accepted). We expect about 20 participants for the workshop.
