Today is the beginning of NLP festival (all conferences are like festivals as we celebrate our research and have loads of fun) right here in IIIT Campus and I am happy to see most of SIELers taking very active part as organizers, volunteers and participants.
There is one paper accepted in the main conference (a matter of pride for all of us) – this is based on Rohini’s work on personalization (many of you might know that U Rohini after graduating from here joined AOL R&D, Bangalore) – this paper will be presented on 10th of January 2008, between 15:30 – 17:00 Hrs in session A3.3 at ISB. The paper is:
“Statistical Translation Models for Personalized Search” – Rohini U, Vamshi Ambati and Vasudeva Varma
If you are participating in the conference, please attend this presentation.
We are also organizing 2nd International workshop on Cross Language Information Access (CLIA-2008) along with IJCNLP (W4). For more information see the website of the workshop:

See you all there - and we will be looking forward to hear your experiences.
