Call for Papers
ICL: Workshop on Iberian Cross-Language NLP tasks
September 7, 2011, Huelva, Spain
in conjunction with the 27th Conference of the Spanish Society for  
Natural Language Processing - SEPLN 2011
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Iberian Peninsula, five official languages co-exist: Basque,  
Catalan, Galician, Portuguese and Spanish. Fostering multi-linguality 
and establishing strong links among the linguistic resources developed 
for each language of the region is essential.

Additionally, a lack of published resources in some of these languages  
exists. Such lack propitiates a strong inter-relation between them and  
higher resourced languages, such as English and Spanish.

In order to favour the intra-relation among the peninsular languages  
as well as the inter-relation between them and foreign languages,  
different purpose multilingual NLP tools need to be developed.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Cross-language / multilingual:

- text categorisation
- information retrieval
- question answering
- patent retrieval
- word sense disambiguation
- opinion mining
- lexical substitution
- text summarization
- text re-use analysis
- plagiarism detection
- paraphrasing for MT
- text similarity estimation
- similarity of Wikipedia across languages

These tasks are often based on statistical, linguistic and 
hybrid approaches. Machine translation, cognates exploitation 
or semantic relatedness are examples of the multiple resources 
available for the development of such tools.

The workshop addresses researchers from different fields of natural 
language processing/computational linguistics: text mining, machine 
learning, pattern recognition, information retrieval and machine 
translation.
