LREC (International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation)

LREC, or the International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation, is a prominent event where researchers, developers, and industry professionals gather to share advances in language technologies. It focuses on the development, collection, and assessment of linguistic tools and datasets—such as speech, text, and language databases—that enable machines to understand and process human language. The conference facilitates collaboration, innovation, and standardization in creating systems like translation apps, voice assistants, and language analysis tools, ultimately improving how computers interpret and work with natural language across diverse applications and languages.
