The ELRA Board has created a prize to honour the memory of its first
president, professor Antonio Zampolli, a pioneer and visionary scientist
who was internationally recognized in the field of computational
linguistics and Human Language Technologies (HLT). He also contributed
much through the establishment of ELRA and the LREC conference.
To reflect Antonio Zampolli's specific interest in our field, the Prize
will be awarded to individuals whose work lies within the areas of
Language Resources and Language Technology Evaluation with acknowledged
contributions to their advancements.
The prize will be awarded for the second time in May 2006 at the LREC
2006 conference in Genoa (22-28 May, 2006). Completed nominations should
be sent to the ELRA president Bente Maegaard (bente@cst.dk) and arrive
by March 1st 2006.
Nominations that were received for the prize in 2004, will be taken into
account if the nominators confirm their nomination.
On behalf of the ELRA Board
Bente Maegaard
President
