<P><FONT SIZE=2>I am interested in word sense disambiguation by using translations in a second<BR>
language. Would anyone be so kind as to send me some references to publications in this area,<BR>
Many thanks,<BR>

Subject: [Corpora-List] Eurolan 2005 Cross-Language Knowledge Induction Workshop<BR>
<BR>
CALL FOR PAPERS<BR>
<BR>
Cross-Language Knowledge Induction Workshop<BR>
<BR>
International Workshop held as part of the Eurolan 2005 Summer School<BR>
25 July - 6 August, 2005, Cluj-Napoca, Romania<BR>
<BR>
Website:<BR>

<BR>
Knowledge of words and text behavior in other languages has recently<BR>
been used to help solving tasks in a first language. An example of such<BR>
a task is word sense disambiguation by using translations in a second<BR>
language. Another example is verb classification by studying properties<BR>
of verbs in several languages.<BR>
<BR>
A second modality of knowledge transfer across languages is to take<BR>
advantage of resources already built for English and for a few other<BR>
resource-rich languages. These resources have been used to induce<BR>
knowledge in languages for which few linguistic resources are available.<BR>
This was made possible by the wider availability of parallel corpora<BR>
(better alignment methods at paragraph, sentence, and word level).<BR>
Examples of knowledge induction tasks are: learning morphology,<BR>
part-of-speech tags, and grammatical gender. The development of wordnets<BR>
for many languages used as a starting point knowledge transfer from the<BR>
Princeton WordNet.<BR>
<BR>
This workshop will provide a forum for discussion between leading names<BR>
in the field and researchers involved in cross-language applications. We<BR>
would like to invite researchers, master and Ph.D. students, to submit<BR>
their original and unpublished work to the workshop.<BR>
<BR>
Special consideration will be given to papers for which one of the<BR>
languages involved in the knowledge transfer is an East-European<BR>
language. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<BR>
<BR>
* applications that exploit parallel corpora (aligned at paragraph,<BR>
sentence, or word level).<BR>
* induction of knowledge from a language for which resources are<BR>
abundant to another language for which fewer resources are available.<BR>
* using other languages to solve a task in a first language:<BR>
- word-sense disambiguation by using translations in other languages.<BR>
- verb classification by studying verb properties in several languages.<BR>
- other tasks of this kind<BR>
* identifying and using cognate words between languages.<BR>
* building wordnets by knowledge transfer.<BR>
* exploiting multi-language wordnets for NLP applications.<BR>
