ABSTRACT

For ten days in March and twenty-nine days in June of 2003, sixteen teams in two nations sought to develop language technologies for two previously unanticipated languages; Cebuano and Hindi. This introduction to a pair of special issues explains the motivation for those exercises, the approaches that were tried, and some of the lessons that were learned.

"Alexander Gelbukh : Reviewer"

I like to stare at the magic cobweb of lines in the map of a far-away country, thinking of the millions or even billions of people living there, actually, five-sixths of humankind. Busy with our own important problems, do we often recall that they more...
