This 13th workshop on Asian Language Resources, annexed to the 11th edition of the Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC 2018), focuses on language resources for Asian region, which has more than 2,200 spoken languages. There are now increasing efforts to build multi-lingual, multi-modal language resources, with varying levels of annotations, through manual, semi-automatic and automatic approaches, as the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) spreads across the region. Correspondingly, the development of practical applications on these language resources has also been rapidly growing. The workshop on Asian Language Resources is a series aiming to forge a better coordination and collaboration among researchers on these languages, and the Natural Language Processing (NLP) community, in general to develop common frameworks and processes for this purpose.

Topics

• Text corpora, speech corpora, corpora in other modalities or media (such as video for sign languages or affective computing)
• Lexicons, grammars, machine-readable dictionaries, domain specific terminology
• Ontologies, knowledge representation, semantic web technologies
• Infrastructure for constructing and sharing language resources
• Exchange and annotation schemata, exchange formats
• Standards or specifications for language resources and content management
• Language resources for basic NLP tasks (word segmentation, named entity recognition, syntactic analysis, semantic analysis, discourse analysis, speech recognition, speech synthesis, etc.)
• Language resources for Human Language Technology (HLT) applications (such as text generation, information retrieval, information extraction, question answering, machine translation, speech translation, reasoning, affective computing, etc.)
• Strategies and priorities for cooperation and collaboration
• Licensing and copyright issues
