Welcome to the Fourth TELRI Seminar with the topic Text Corpora and Multilingual Lexicography

This issue of TELRI Newsletter contains abstracts of the papers given at the Seminar. It will be followed by a book of proceedings which will be published early 2000. Please see the webpages (sorry, the link is not available yet) for publication guidlines and details of submission.

The start of TELRI II was a bit slow, but the Bratislava Seminar will demonstrate what TELRI can offer now to the HLT community in terms of language resources and innovative approaches to monolingual and multilingual language technology applications. The last years have seen a remarkable increase in research and development projects of our partners, and many of these projects involved industrial participation. The TELRI network has become a dependable address for high-quality service to the academic and industrial communities.

Like the previous TELRI seminars, our Bratislava Seminar will be an attractive forum for the exchange of tools and resources, for sharing experience and competence, and for promoting new ideas and professional solutions.
