Abstract

For ten days in March and twenty-nine days in June of 2003, sixteen teams in two nations sought to develop language technologies for two previously unanticipated languages; Cebuano and Hindi. This introduction to a pair of special issues explains the motivation for those exercises, the approaches that were tried, and some of the lessons that were learned.
