Dear Lisa,<br>a few months ago, I extracted a list of Arabic plurals, but never had the time to clean it. It has over 7000 nouns and their plurals. The list is available here:<br><br><a href="http://jones.ling.indiana.edu/~emadnawfal/arabicPlural.txt">http://jones.ling.indiana.edu/~emadnawfal/arabicPlural.txt</a><br>

Dear Hamed,<br>
<br>
I've just seen the brilliant suggestions.<br>
I will be pleased to be a member of a special Arabic corpora group<br>
My project is about the automatic discourse annotation for Arabic. We will produce soon the Leeds Arabic Discourse Treebank. It is a big project and I should challenge the shortage of Arabic resources and the specialist researchers. <br>
<br>
All the best,<br>

Here is a voice chat application that we can use, not sure if this is<br>
the best or there is something better. Also we can consider skype<br>
since it is a free option.<br>

Many good open source web projects use PHP, which is pretty popular these days as a web platform. However, I think given that this is all very early days, probably what might be a good idea would be as you suggest to hold an initial online meeting off the corpora mailing list where things like this can be discussed further. Another thing to think about is private vs public hosting. If you are putting together a language website, this could either be hosted privately (e.g. a at University) or else publically (such as part of google code or sourceforge). Public hosting is cheap, easy and fast to set up, and they give you a platform / infrastructure for e-mail lists, discussion groups, code hosting etc. However, you do have more control if you are affiliated with a University of<br>
example and host this yourself.<br>

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION<br>
<br>
*Methodological Advances in corpus-based Translation Studies (MATS 2010)*<br>
<br>
Hosted by University College Ghent (Belgium)<br>
January 8 and 9, 2010<br>

The symposium focuses on:<br>
<br>
- The relationship between non-translated texts and translated texts in<br>
one language<br>
- The relationship between source texts and target texts<br>
- Innovative methods and techniques for collecting and analysing data in<br>
Translation Studies<br>

<br>
<br>
Background<br>
<br>
The introduction of a corpus-based methodology in the field of<br>
Translation Studies (Baker 1993) gave rise to a large number of<br>
empirical studies that investigate the fundamental characteristics of<br>
translated texts and their relationship to their source texts and<br>
non-translated texts. These studies have yielded interesting insights<br>
into the nature of translated language and the translation process, such<br>
as the so-called translation universals, the ideology of translation and<br>
stylistic differences between translators.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, important methodological and conceptual challenges lie<br>
ahead. Some languages, for instance, are less well-studied within<br>
corpus-based Translation Studies. Obviously, in order to empirically<br>
verify general hypotheses about translation products and processes, as<br>
many languages as possible have to be studied.<br>
<br>
In addition, some general hypotheses, like the explicitation<br>
hypothesis, need conceptual refinement: to what extent, for instance, is<br>
explicitation at syntactic level identical to explicitation at<br>
discursive level? Most importantly, how can general hypotheses be put to<br>
the test or, in other words, how do we 'translate? (operationalise)<br>
hypotheses so that they are empirically testable in a corpus?<br>
The two-day symposium therefore wants to encourage corpus-based work on<br>
translations in less well-studied languages as well as corpus-based work<br>
that pushes methodological and conceptual frontiers in Translation<br>
Studies. Possible questions / hypotheses include (but are not limited<br>
to) untranslatability or implicitation, deictic shifts in translation,<br>
information structure asymmetries between source and target texts,<br>
register differences within translated language. More information can be<br>
found on the conference website.<br>

To: <a href="mailto:CORPORA@uib.no">CORPORA@uib.no</a><br>
<br>
SECOND CALL FOR CHAPTERS<br>
(Proposals Submission Deadline: 15 DECEMBER 2009)<br>
<br>
Ontology Learning and Knowledge Discovery Using the Web: Challenges and<br>
Recent Advances<br>
<br>
A book edited by Wilson Wong, Wei Liu and Mohammed Bennamoun<br>
University of Western Australia, Australia<br>
<a href="http://explorer.csse.uwa.edu.au/editedbook" target="_blank">http://explorer.csse.uwa.edu.au/editedbook</a><br>
<br>
Introduction<br>
========================================================================================<br>
Ontologies provide formal specifications of what might exist in a domain to<br>
ensure reusability and interoperability of multiple heterogeneous systems.<br>
Ontologies form an indispensable part of the Semantic Web standard stack.<br>
While the Semantic Web is still our vision into the future, ontologies have<br>
already found a myriad of applications such as document retrieval, question<br>
answering, image retrieval, agent interoperability and document annotation.<br>
In recent years, automatic ontology learning from text has provided support<br>
and relief for knowledge engineers from the labourious task of manually<br>
engineering of ontologies. Ontology learning research, an area integrating<br>
advances from information retrieval, text mining, data mining, machine<br>
learning and natural language processing, has attracted increasing interests<br>
from a wide spectrum of application domains (e.g. bioinformatics,<br>
manufacturing). Being a rapidly growing area, it is crucial to collect the<br>
recent advances in tools and technologies in ontology learning and related<br>
areas.<br>
<br>
Objective Of The Book<br>
========================================================================================<br>
The main objective of this book is to provide relevant theoretical<br>
foundations, and disseminate new research findings and expert views on the<br>
remaining challenges in ontology learning. In particular, the book focuses<br>
on the following questions:<br>
# Can ontology learning continue to rely on techniques borrowed from related<br>
areas that were conceived for other purposes? Has the time arrived for us to<br>
look at certain peculiar requirements of ontology learning and develop<br>
specific techniques to meet these requirements?<br>
# Lightweight ontologies are the most common type of ontologies in a variety<br>
of existing Semantic Web applications (e.g. knowledge management, document<br>
retrieval, communities of practice, data integration). Can these lightweight<br>
ontologies be easily extended to formal ones? If so, how?<br>
# The poor coverage, rarity and maintenance cost related to manually-created<br>
resources such as semantic lexicons (e.g. WordNet, UMLS) and text corpora<br>
(e.g. BNC, GENIA corpus) have prompted an increasing number of researchers<br>
to turn to dynamic Web data for ontology learning. There is currently a lack<br>
of study concentrating on the systematic use of Web data as background<br>
knowledge for all phases of ontology learning. How do we know if we have the<br>
necessary background knowledge to carry out all our ontology learning tasks?<br>
Where do we look for more background knowledge if we know that what we have<br>
is inadequate?<br>
# More and more practitioners in the domain of biology, health care,<br>
chemistry, manufacturing, etc are looking up to ontology learning techniques<br>
for solutions to their knowledge sharing and reusability needs. How much<br>
more difficult is it to automatically learn ontologies from news articles,<br>
as compared to clinical notes or biomedical literature? To what extent can<br>
the current techniques meet the requirements of learning from texts across<br>
different domains? Is the field of automatic ontology learning from text<br>
ready for the industry?<br>
<br>
Target Audience<br>
========================================================================================<br>
This proposed book will be an invaluable resource as a library or personal<br>
reference for a wide range of audience, including, graduate students,<br>
researchers and industrial practitioners. Postgraduate students who are in<br>
the process of looking for future research directions, and carving out their<br>
own niche area will find this book particularly useful. Due to the detailed<br>
scope and wide coverage of the book, it also has the potential of being an<br>
upper-level course supplement for senior undergraduate students in<br>
Artificial Intelligence, and a resource for lecturers in Knowledge<br>
Acquisition, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Text Mining,<br>
Information Extraction, and Ontology Learning.<br>
