SIGLEX 2003-2004
Adam Kilgarriff
Chair


The main SIGLEX activity for July 2003- July 2004 has been through its
sub-group, SENSEVAL, which under the committed and effective leadership
of Phil Edmonds and Rada Mihalcea, has organized a third evaluation
exercise.  Like the last two only more so, this was a large exercise
with very high levels of participation, energy and enthusiasm.  The
exercise is now complete bar the workshop and announcement of results,
which will take place in Barcelona.
See http://www.senseval.org for more details.  SENSEVAL made modest use
of ACL banking facilities, for storing sponsorship money raised for the
workshop.

replace ourselves: the election process for new officers and committee

committee announced, at the Barcelona SENSEVAL workshop.
