Lift Presentations @ Imaginove

"Quoi de neuf dans les media sociaux?"
Villeurbanne, 17 Jun 2010, 17:00-19:00, organized by Emmanuel Rondeau

Les 5 dernières années du Web correspondent à un usage massif et grand public de plate-formes Web 2.0. Ce terme proposé par Tim O'Reilly et Dale Dougherty décrit aussi bien les services de publications en ligne (blogs, microblogging, contenus générés par les utilisateurs) que les réseaux sociaux. Il désigne aussi la nature profondément participative et communautaire de ces applications. Dans le même temps, le Web est aussi "sorti" de l'écran pour être aussi accessible via le mobile… ce qui amène à des extensions des possibilités des plate-formes Web 2 sur le téléphone.

Lift Workshop @ Webster

"Human Language Technology for the Information Society"
Bellevue, 18 Jun 2010, 09:00-22:00, organized by Vincenzo Pallotta

Natural Language Processing is at the core of information technology, especially now that information is pervasive, distributed and easily accessible.

In this event we will gather researchers and professionals in the field of computational linguistics to discuss around the current challenges and implications of processing natural language for the information society.

The event is made of two parts:
1. In the morning and early afternoon, the scientific workshop DART2010
2. In the late afternoon, a panel of local researchers and professional in the field of Human Language Technology. Each panelist will give a short presentation and afterward the panel will answer question from the audience.
