Call for Paper - MulLexSem

TALN 2006 Workshop on Multilingual Lexical Semantics

Thursday, April 13th, Louvain, Belgium

http://libresource.inria.fr/projects/TALN-MulLexSem

The TALN 06 Workshop on Multilingual Lexical Semantics
will be held in conjunction with the 13th edition of the Conference
on Traitement Automatique de la Langue Naturelle that will take
place April 10-13, 2006, in Louvain, Belgium.

1 TOPICS

The creation and the sharing of multilingual lexical semantics
resources are likely to improve the quality of highly demanding
NLP applications such as Machine Translation and Information
Extraction. Moreover, multilingual semantic resources help in a
better and more extensive assessment of generality of the semantic
theories due to the parallel analysis of multiple team on several
translated corpora.

In our workshop we would like to bring together scholars and
pratictioners in order to discuss about the methodologies for the
joint construction and evaluation of large-scale interoperable
multilingual lexical semantics resources and their use in the
annotation of multilingual parallel corpora. Also, we are interested
in the development of automatic methods for the cross-lingual
transfer of existing monolingual resources and/or annotated
corpora, and for the integration of heterogeneous multilingual
resources such as EuroWordNet, MultiWordNet, Multilingual
FrameNets.
