Linguistic distances
John A. Nerbonne, Erhard Hinrichs · 2006
In many theoretical and applied areas of computational linguistics researchers operate with a notion of linguistic distance or, conversely, linguistic similarity, which is the focus of the present workshop. While many CL areas make frequent use of such notions, it has received little focused attention, an honorable exception being Lebart & Rajman (2000). This workshop brings a number of these strands together, highlighting a number of common issues.
