Unsupervised Morpheme Analysis -- Morpho Challenge 2009

Workshop

The workshop will be held from 30 September to 2 October in Corfu, Greece in conjunction with CLEF 2009 (Cross-Language Evaluation Forum). The actual Morpho Challenge part lasts only one day (Sep 30), but the same registration allows you to also participate in the other CLEF tracks that follow immediately. Access the registration form here and select CLEF.
There are only a limited number of seats available, so please let us know asap, if you are coming to the workshop.
