DEMONSTRATIONS
In the spirit of the Special Session of PROPOR 2008 - Applications of Portuguese Speech and Language Technologies - aiming at bringing together Academia and Industry and at creating a forum where more than written or spoken descriptions of research are available, PROPOR 2010 organizers and PROPOR Steering Committee decided to integrate a Demonstrations Session in the program.
After revision by a committee integrating Industry representatives from Portugal and Brazil, 22 out of the 25 submissions were accepted, covering a wide range of Speech and Natural Language Processing Applications. Most of the accepted demonstrations (19) are authored by researchers affiliated with Brazilian institutions, particularly Universidade de São Paulo and Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul. Other Brazilian demonstrations came from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Universidade Federal do Pará, Universidade Federal de Sergipe, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro, and Universidade São Judas Tadeu. With at least one author from an institution in Portugal, we had 4 accepted demonstrations: 2 from Industry and the others from Universidade de Lisboa e Universidade de Évora. It is also worth mentioning the participation of Microsoft Language Development Center (Portugal), EMBRAPA Informática Agropecuária (Brazil), Conexum (Brazil), DFL (Brazil), IntextMining (Brazil), Universidade de Vigo (Spain), and INRIA/LIG (France) in the accepted demonstrations.
