| "text": "The precious volume you are currently reading contains the papers accepted for presentation at the Australasian Language Technology Association Workshop (ALTA) 2012, held at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand on 4-6 December 2012. We are excited that this tenth anniversary edition of the ALTA Workshop sees ALTA leaving Australia for the first time, and becoming a truly Australasian workshop. Sadly we say goodbye to the Aussie bush hat on the conference webpage, but it is in the spirit of Mick \"Crocodile\" Dundee that we cross the Tasman. The goals of the workshop are to:", | |

| "text": "\u2022 provide an opportunity for the broader artificial intelligence community to become aware of local LT research; and, finally, \u2022 increase visibility of LT research in Australasia and overseas. This year's ALTA Workshop presents 14 peer-reviewed papers, including eleven full and three short papers. We received a total of 18 submissions. Each paper, full and short, was reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. With the more-international flavour of the workshop, this year's program committee consisted of more members from outside of Australia and New Zealand than in past years. The reviewing for the workshop was double blind, and done in accordance with the DIISRTE requirements for E1 conference publications. Furthermore, great care was taken to avoid all conflicts of interest; in particular, no paper was assessed by a reviewer from the same institution as any of the authors. In the case of submissions by a programme co-chair, the double-blind review process was upheld, and acceptance decisions were made by the non-author co-chair. In addition to peer-reviewed papers, the proceedings include the abstracts of the invited talks by Jen Hay (University of Canterbury) and Chris Brockett (Microsoft Research), both of whom we are honoured to welcome to ALTA. Also within, you will find an overview of the ALTA Shared Task and three system descriptions by shared task participants. These contributions were not peer-reviewed. We would like to thank, in no particular order: all of the authors who submitted papers to ALTA; the fellowship of the program committee for the time and effort they put into maintaining the high standards of our reviewing process; our Man In Dunedin, the local organiser Alistair Knott for taking care of all the physical logistics and lining up some great social events; our invited speakers Jen Hay and Chris Brockett for agreeing to share their wisdom with us; the team from NICTA and James Curran for agreeing to host two fascinating tutorials, and; Diego Moll\u00e1 and David Martinez, the program co-chairs of ALTA 2011, for their valuable help and support. We would like to acknowledge the constant support and advice of the out-going ALTA Executive Committee and in particular President Timothy Baldwin. Finally, we gratefully recognise our sponsors: NICTA, Microsoft Research, Appen Butler Hill, and the University of Otago. Their generous support enabled us to offer travel subsidies to six students to attend and present at ALTA. ", | |
