Overview

The [http://www.emmtee.net LOGON] consortium holds its final meeting from June 6 through June 8, 2007, in [http://www.geilo.no/ Geilo], Norway. These pages will, over time, provide useful information to participants, both organizational and content-wise.

Structure of the Meeting

The meeting will be broken into two parts, of which the first day (Wednesday) is an internal meeting of contributors to the LOGON book. For the second half of the meeting (Thursday and Friday), the project has invited a number of former LOGON participants, including recipients of MSc stipends, and a small number of external guests. Thursday will focus on project results, including the presentation (and discussion) of a quality evaluation, by virtue of human judgments on held-out data, which the consortium is currently gathering. The final day of the meeting will be more workshop-like, jointly reflecting on perspectives for further hybridization of MT approaches and our views on the utility (if any) of `deep' NLP paradigms in general. Guests will be invited to contribute presentations on their own work and visions.

Organizational

The meeting will be held at [http://www.drholms.no/ Dr. Holms Hotel] in [http://www.geilo.no/ Geilo], Norway. Geilo is a mountain village in Southern Norway and traditional winter resort. It is best reached in a little over three hours by [http://www.nsb.no train] from either Oslo or Bergen. For travel to and from Oslo airport, please see the [http://eamt.emmtee.net EAMT 2006] conference pages. The [http://www.flytoget.no airport express train] takes approximately twenty minutes between Oslo S (the main train station) and Gardermoen (the airport).

For those having to stay overnight in Oslo prior to their departing flight, the [http://www.radissonsas.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=RadissonSAS/integration/hotelInfo&hotelCode=oslzr Radisson Gardemoen] hotel at the airport may be the most convenient. Using a little more time to explore Oslo, the [http://www.radissonsas.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=RadissonSAS/integration/hotelInfo&hotelCode=oslzh Radisson Plaza] or [http://www.thonhotels.no/astoria Astoria] hotels are both very close to the downtain train station.

Should people want to explore some more of Norway, the [http://eamt.emmtee.net/index.php?page=5#fun EAMT] pages have some suggestions and pointers. Geilo is a good starting location for the famed [http://www.norwaynutshell.com/ Norway in a Nutshell] tour.
