University of Leeds

The Workshop on Computational Approaches to Morphologically Rich Languages (#CAMRL2017) is organised by the Leeds University Kartvelian Studies group.

This one-day workshop aims to bring together established specialists and postgraduate research students working in the field of computational morphology and morphosyntax.

The Workshop will feature plenary talks by Jost Gippert, Andrew Hardie and Marine Beridze, talks and poster sessions, and a training event by Andrew Hardie focusing on Morphosyntactic Annotation Schemata.

The Workshop is funded by Language@Leeds
