The Australasian Language Technology Association is organising a
programming competition for university undergraduate and Masters
students. Interested...? Read on.

Following on the success of last year's competition, the Language
Technology Programming Competition is formatted as a "shared task":
all participants compete to salve the same problem. The problem
highlights an active area of research and programming in the area of
language technology. You can easily obtain reasonable results with
little effort yet nobody has managed to obtain 100% correct results so
far.

The winner to the competition will be invited to the workshop of the
Australasian Language Technology Association (ALTA 2011) at Canberra
on 1-2 December.

The key dates are:

  Right Now  - Registration and release of training and development data
  4 Oct 2011 - Release of test data
  7 Oct 2011 - Deadline of submission of results
 12 Oct 2011 - Notification of results
 28 Oct 2011 - Deadline of submission of system description poster
1-2 Dec 2011 - ALTA workshop at Canberra

Details of the task and registration are available at the competition
website (http://www.alta.asn.au/events/sharedtask2011).
