Unsupervised Morpheme Analysis -- Morpho Challenge 2007

This is a page of the previous Morpho Challenge 2007. The current challenge is Morpho Challenge 2009.

Workshop in Budapest

The workshop will be held in Budapest 19 - 21 September 2007 in conjunction with CLEF 2007 (Cross-Language Evaluation Forum).
Visit the CLEF 2007 workshop site and make sure to register on time!

The actual Morpho Challenge part lasts only one day (Sep 19), but the same registration (about 250 euro) allows you to also participate in all the CLEF sessions that follow immediately. The CLEF workshop registration forms are at the local organizers (ECDL 2007 conference) home page and also the accommodation can be booked via the ECDL 2007 conference organisation. Note that the early registration deadline is before 31 July. Please note that you are not obliged to also attend ECDL but can register for the workshop only, if you prefer.

Camera-ready submission

The final camera-ready submissions use a different format than the papers submitted for review. We are sorry about the inconvenience of your having to reformat your documents. For your final paper submission (due August 15th), please use the single-column CLEF 2007 Notebook Proceedings format. Here are a sample PDF file and a template Latex document. Detailed formatting instructions can be requested from the Morpho Challenge Organizers. The maximum length of your paper is 10 pages (including references and figures), but you can ask for a couple of extra pages if you think it improves the paper. Email your final paper to the organizers.
