Call for papers for NooJ 2011 Conference

***********************************************

Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb
(FFZG), Croatian Language Technologies Society (HDJT) the Laboratoire de
Sémio-Linguistique et Didactique (LASELDI) of the University Franche-Comté
and the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme et de l'Environnement Ledoux organize
the 2011 NooJ Conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia from 13-15 June, 2011.

 

NooJ is both a corpus processing tool and a linguistic development
environment: it allows linguists to formalize several levels of linguistic
phenomena: orthography and spelling; lexicons of simple words; multiword
units and frozen expressions; inflectional, derivational and productive
morphology; local, structural syntax and transformational syntax. For each
of these levels NooJ provides linguists with one or more formal tools
specifically designed to facilitate the description of each phenomenon, as
well as parsing tools designed to be as computationally efficient as
possible. This approach distinguishes NooJ from most computational
linguistic tools, which provide a single formalism that could describe every
linguistic phenomena. As a corpus processing tool, NooJ allows users to
apply sophisticated linguistic queries to large corpora in order to build
indices and concordances, annotate texts automatically, perform statistical
analyses, etc.

 

NooJ is freely available and linguistic modules can already be freely
downloaded for Acadian, Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese,
Croatian, French, English, German, Hebrew, Greek, Hungarian, Italian,
Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish. A dozen other modules are under
construction.

 

******************************

The conference intends to:

******************************

*              give NooJ users and researchers in Linguistics and in
Computational Linguistics the opportunity to meet and share their experience
as developers, researchers and teachers; 

*              present to NooJ users the latest linguistic resources and NLP
applications developed for/with NooJ, its latest functionalities, as well as
its future developments; 

*              offer researchers and graduate students two tutorials (one
basic and one advanced) to help them parse corpora and build NLP
applications using NooJ. 

*              provide the occasion to present and discover the recent
developments of NooJ itself (v3.0).

 

*******************

Topics of interest:

*******************

*              Semantic analysis

*              Syntactic analysis

*              Lexical analysis

*              Linguistic resources

*              Dictionaries
