Unsupervised Morpheme Analysis -- Morpho Challenge 2008

This is a page of the previous Morpho Challenge 2008. The current challenge is Morpho Challenge 2009.

Workshop

The workshop will be held in Arhus, Denmark 17 - 19 September 2008 in conjunction with CLEF 2008 (Cross-Language Evaluation Forum). The actual Morpho Challenge part lasts only one day (Sep 17), but the same registration allows you to also participate in the other CLEF sessions that follow immediately. Please note that you are not obliged to also attend ECDL but can register for the workshop only, if you prefer.
