FINAL CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED TASK PARTICIPATION

 ========================================================================

ACL 2012 Workshop on "Rediscovering 50 Years of Discoveries"

To be held at ACL 2012 main conference, Jeju, Republic of Korea, July 
10, 2012

Website: http://translit.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/r50/

*New deadline for contributed task short paper submissions: April 15, 2012*

 ========================================================================

In addition to the technical program, the workshop will host a 
contributed-task, in the spirit of a crowd-sourcing activity, for 
augmenting and improving the current status of the ACL data collection.

The goal of the contributed-task is to provide a high-quality version of 
the textual content of the ACL Anthology as a corpus. Its rich-text XML 
markup will contain information on section headings, footnotes, table 
and figure captions, bibliographic references, italics/emphasized text 
portions, non-latin scripts, etc.

Eight different tasks have been proposed for automatically adding 
missing or correcting wrong markup to the current rich-text formats. 
These eight tasks include:

* Footnote identification

* Table reference identification

* Bibliographic reference identification

* De-hyphenation improvement

* Garbage/leftover removal

* TEI P5 markup generation.

* Sentence Splitting

* Math formula markup generation

Teams participating in the contributed task are encouraged to produce a 
short paper describing their work and presenting their results. More 
information can be found at http://translit.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/r50/taskintro/

- SUBMISSIONS -----------------------------------------------------------

All submissions must be done electronically via the portal 
https://www.softconf.com/acl2012/R50/ and should follow the ACL 2012 
format, as specified in http://acl2012.org/call/sub01.asp. The paper 
selection will follow a standard double-blind reviewing process, so

published in the ACL 2012 workshop proceedings.
