The ComputEL-6 workshop focuses on the use of computational methods in the study, support, and revitalization of endangered languages. The primary aim of the workshop is to continue narrowing the gap between computational linguists interested in methods for endangered languages, field linguists documenting these languages, and the language communities who are striving to maintain their languages.
Join us virtually on March 5 and 6, 2023 to explore the intersection of computational linguistics and language documentation/conservation. Please see the Comput-EL 6 website for more detailed information:
