Dear all,

This is your last chance to attend our upcoming "Celtic Languages in the Digital Age" workshop, scheduled for April 9, 2024, at Lancaster University.

This is a hybrid event of talks and panel discussion, organised by the UCREL NLP Group and funded by the Faculty of Science and Technology’s Research Catalyst Fund, aims to address the critical need for linguistic resources supporting Celtic languages.

Event Details:

- Date: April 9, 2024

- Location: Lancaster University

- Format: Hybrid with online broadcast (free registration)

- Register to attend online: https://bit.ly/clida2024

The workshop will gather experts in Celtic languages, linguistics, corpus linguistics, computer science, and computational linguistics to explore the development of language models for under-resourced languages, including Welsh, Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Cornish, Breton, and Manx. We also have a talk on the use of transfer learning to create language models for low-resourced languages taking Luxembourgish as a use case.

Programme, list of speakers and talks details can be found on the event’s website: https://wp.lancs.ac.uk/celtic/

If you are in or near Lancaster and would like to attend in person, do get in touch with me as we have a few places left, attending in person is free, lunch and refreshments will be provided on the day.

Best wishes,
Mo
