Doctoral Consortium at the 8th EUROLAN Summer School
* Last Call for Participation *
http://eurolan.info.uaic.ro/2007/DC/
July 30 - August 2, 2007, Iasi, Romania
Doctoral Consortium - Call for Papers
Submission Deadline: May 14, 2007
1. General Information
The Doctoral Consortium at EUROLAN-2007 will provide an opportunity for
graduate students (PhD and MSc heading towards PhD studies)
investigating topics in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language
Processing to present their current work and receive constructive
feedback and guidance on future research, both from the general audience
and the invited lecturers at the Summer School.
The Doctoral Consortium will be held as a workshop during 3 or 4
consecutive evenings (1.5 hour slots) in the second week of the EUROLAN
2007 Summer School, July 30 - August 2, 2007. The final version of the
accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of the EUROLAN 2007
Doctoral Consortium, at the University Al. I. Cuza Publishing House.
During the Summer School the students will present their work, will
receive constructive comments wrt. to current and future research
directions from a panel of established researchers, and will benefit
from the collaborative climate established among all participants, thus
enhancing future joint work among them. Students will also prepare a
poster which will be on display throughout the Summer School.
We invite all interested graduate students to submit their work to the
Consortium. As the main goal of the Consortium is for the authors to
receive feedback, the emphasis is on work in progress.
The research being presented can be from any topic area within
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing, including but
not limited to:
* phonetics, phonology, and morphology;
* pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax, and the lexicon;
* text understanding and generation;
* computational semantics;
* ontology enriched NLP applications;
* multilingual NLP;
* multilingual question answering;
* machine translation;
* corpus-based language processing;
* electronic dictionaries;
* written and spoken natural language interfaces;
* knowledge acquisition;
* terminology;
* text summarisation;
* text classification;
* computer-aided language learning;
* human computer interaction;
* language resources;
* evaluation, assessment and standards in language engineering;
* theoretical and application-oriented papers related to NLP of
every kind.
Well-known researchers from these areas will be invited lecturers of the
school and therefore available for interesting discussions.
2. Submission Requirements
The submissions should describe original work, still in progress. The
submissions may have more than one author; however, all of them MUST be
students (PhD and MSc heading towards PhD).
The paper should include:
* the problem(s) that the proposed research is addressing;
* the main contribution(s) of the research to the CL & NLP field;
* the proposed solution(s), including a brief description of the
methodology adopted;
* the future research plan.
3. Submission Procedure
Submission must be electronic. The only format acceptable is PDF (.pdf).
Submissions should not exceed 8 pages, including references and annexes
and should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings. The papers
will be uploaded on a special page,
http://www.easychair.org/EUROLAN2007DC/ , announced on the web page of
the Doctoral Consortium, where more submission guidelines are available.
