The Natural Language Processing Laboratory of the Program in Linguistics at Purdue University is pleased to announce the fourth meeting of the Midwest Computational Linguistics Colloquium (MCLC-4). This colloquium offers a less formal forum for computational linguistics researchers to get together and present ideas and work. It is intended to be primarily for researchers from the Midwest region, but applications from all regions are welcome.

Invited Speaker

Dr. Christian F. Hempelmann, Chief Scientific Officer, hakia.com, New York, NY
