past years have seen a variety of promising NLP projects but in <BR>the
vast majority of real-world applications, fully automatic NLP is <BR>still
far from delivering reliable results. As a result, computer-<BR>aided methods
have emerged as a practical alternative. In the <BR>computer-aided
scenario, processing is not done entirely by <BR>computers, human
intervention improves, post-edits or validates the <BR>output of the
computer program.<BR><BR>The aim of the workshop is to bring together
researchers working on <BR>CALP projects and to provide a forum for
fruitful discussion on <BR>related issues and further developments in the
field. Topics of <BR>interests include areas where computers can be used to
help but not <BR>to fully automate the process such as (but not limited to)
machine <BR>translation, production of summaries, generation of
documents, <BR>extraction of terminology, creation of indexes, ontology
creation and <BR>annotation of texts using semi-automatic
methods.<BR><BR>The workshop also encourages discussions and submissions
focusing on <BR>evaluation issues addressing the efficiency of the CALP
methods. Of <BR>particular interest will be studies which compare the
saving of time <BR>and cost of CALP methods as opposed to manual
methods.<BR><BR>TOPICS<BR><BR>Prospective authors are invited to submit
proposals in the following <BR>areas of interest, related to computer-aided
language processing:<BR><BR>* computer-aided language processing for NLP tasks
including but not <BR>limited to computer-aided summarisation, indexing,
translation, <BR>generation, etc.<BR>* semi-automatic annotation methods:
post-processing vs. interactive <BR>annotation<BR>* semi-automatic ontology
development<BR>* interactive machine learning methods such as active
learning<BR>* evaluation issues addressing the efficiency of CALP methods<BR>*
translation memories and other translation aides<BR>* interactive machine
translation<BR>* pre/post-editing of machine translation<BR>* intelligent tools
for language learning such as dictionaries and <BR>concordancers<BR>*
computer-aided assessment tools<BR>* authorship attribution and plagiarism
detection<BR><BR><BR>INVITED SPEAKER<BR><BR>Ruslan Mitkov, University of
Wolverhampton, UK<BR><BR><BR>SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:<BR><BR>* Format: Authors are
invited to submit two types of papers: full <BR>papers which describe
original and unpublished work in the topic area <BR>of this workshop, and
short papers which describe full working <BR>systems, and which, if
accepted, will be presented at a special <BR>session accompanied by live
demo. Papers should be submitted as a PDF <BR>file, formatted according to
the RANLP 2007 stylefiles and not should <BR>not exceed 8 pages for full
papers and 4 pages for short papers. The <BR>RANLP 2007 stylefiles are
available at:<BR><BR><A
href="http://lml.bas.bg/ranlp2007/submissions.htm">http://lml.bas.bg/ranlp2007/submissions.htm</A>.<BR><BR>As
reviewing will be blind, the papers should not include the <BR>authors'
names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that <BR>reveal the
authors' identities should be avoided. Papers that do not <BR>conform to
these requirements will be rejected without review.<BR><BR>* Submission
procedure: Submission of papers is handled using <BR>the START system
available at<BR><A
href="http://www.softconf.com/ranlp/CALP07/submit.html">http://www.softconf.com/ranlp/CALP07/submit.html</A><BR><BR>*
Reviewing: Each submission will be reviewed at least by two members <BR>of
the Program Committee. Reviewers will be asked to provide
detailed <BR>comments, and to score submitted papers on the following
factors:<BR> - Relevance to the
workshop<BR> - Significance and
originality<BR> - Technical/methodological
accuracy<BR> - References to related
work<BR> - Presentation (clarity,
organisation, English)<BR><BR>* Accepted papers policy. Accepted papers will be
published in the <BR>workshop proceedings. By submitting a paper at the
workshop the <BR>authors agree that, in case the paper is accepted for
publication, at <BR>least one of the authors will attend the workshop; all
workshop <BR>participants are expected to pay the RANLP-2007 workshop
registration <BR>fee.<BR><BR><BR>IMPORTANT DATES<BR><BR>Paper submission
