For Posting to Corbett List:

I've just recently returned from Seattle where I participated in the 3rd 
International Controlled Language Applications Workshop (CLAW2000) and the 
Language Technologies Joint Conference for Applied Natural Language 
Processing and the North American Chapter of the Association for 
Computational Linguistics (ANLP-NAACL2000), held in Seattle, WA April 29 to 
May 4, 2000.

At both conferences I demonstrated our Haitian Creole orthography conversion 
process, which is designed -- in addition to helping publishers, translators, 
editors and writers to adhere to the IPN spelling standard -- to cleanse 
electronic corpus materials for preparing sparse data languages for porting 
to other language technology tools, such as spell checkers, machine 
translators, speech-to-text and text-to-speech applications, etc.
