The international conference series "Finite-State Methods and Natural Language Processing" (FSMNLP) is the premier forum of the ACL Special Interest Group on Finite-State Methods (SIGFSM). SIGFSM serves researchers and practitioners in natural language processing (NLP) working on:
- natural language processing (implementation, applications, language resources),
- theoretical aspects, or
- combinations thereof,
that have obvious relevance or an explicit relation to finite-state methods.
