FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS 



NAACL-HLT 2009 



Third International Workshop on Cross Lingual Information Access: Addressing the Information Need of 

Multilingual Societies (CLIAWS3)



Boulder, Colorado; June 04,2009 



http://search.iiit.ac.in/CLIA2009/



Submission Deadline: March 15, 2009 (Extended Deadline)









WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION 



Cross-Language Information Access is concerned with any/all technologies that let users express their query in 

their native language, and irrespective of the language in which the information is available, present the 

information in the user-preferred language or set of languages, in a manner that satisfies the user's information 

needs. The additional processing may take the form of machine
 translation of snippets, summarization and 

subsequent translation of summaries and/or information extraction.



This workshop aims to bring together various trends in multi-source, cross and multilingual information retrieval 

and access, and provide a venue for researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to 

interact and share a broad spectrum of ideas, views and applications. The workshop will consist of a set of 

invited talks and presentations of technical papers that will be selected after peer review from the submissions 

received.



We solicit submissions describing research on all aspects of "Cross Lingual Information Access and Retrieval". 

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:



* Semantic approaches to cross lingual information access

* Cross-language cross media search (speech, video, audio)

* Uses of (statistical) Machine Translation
 and Transliteration in multilingual information access

* Search based on language independent forms

* Cross-language text categorization

* Multilingual / Cross-lingual named entity recognition

* Cross-document and crosslingual entity and event coreference

* Multilingual digital libraries

* Scalability issues in multilingual information access/ system evaluation

* Cross Lingual/ Multilingual question answering

* Appropriate methods to detect similar/complementary/contradictory information across multiple languages

* Multilingual Summarization

* Multilingual Opinion Mining and Sentiment Analysis

* Multilingual Information Extraction

* Practical systems on various domains

* Acquisition of parallel and comparable corpora in multiple languages

* Morphology and Shallow Parsing for CLIR

* Other CLIR research issues, user studies
 / interactive CLIA
