<div>Workshop on Annotation and Exploitation of Parallel Corpora (AEPC)</div><div>December 2, 2010, University of Tartu, Estonia</div><div><a href="http://math.ut.ee/tlt9/aepc/">http://math.ut.ee/tlt9/aepc/</a></div><div>
<br></div><div>Co-located with TLT9 - The Ninth International Workshop on Treebanks</div><div>and Linguistic Theories</div><div><br></div><div>Submission deadline: 26 September 2010</div><div>-----------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div><br></div><div>In recent years parallel corpora have become ever more useful for</div><div>data-driven Machine Translation, Word Sense Disambiguation, or</div><div>Cross-language Information Retrieval. Most of the time parallel</div>
<div>corpora were used as raw texts (i.e. without any linguistic</div><div>annotation) or with independent linguistic annotation (i.e. linguistic</div><div>annotation that was applied to either language side without resort to</div>
<div>the other). We believe that the full potential of parallel corpora</div><div>will be reached when parallel corpora are aligned and annotated</div><div>concurrently. Many research strands like the automatic creation of</div>
<div>parallel treebanks and parallel parsing point in this direction. In</div><div>particular the popularity of syntax-enhanced approaches to statistical</div><div>machine translation and the rise of multilingual corpus linguistics</div>
<div>indicate the relevance of this workshop at this point in time.</div><div><br></div><div>With this workshop we try to bring together researchers that work on</div><div>annotating parallel corpora for various languages and purposes and</div>
<div>researchers that explore such resources for various applications. The</div><div>following research areas will be addressed:</div><div><br></div><div> * Parallel Treebanks (manual or automatic creation)</div><div> * Cross-language Word Alignment and Phrase-Structure Alignment</div>
<div> * Parallel Grammars, Parallel Parsing</div><div> * Grammar Induction</div><div> * Parallel Semantic Annotation</div><div> * Parallel Referent Resolution and Anaphora</div><div> * Annotation Projection</div>
<div> * Multi-parallel Corpora</div><div> * Tools for Multilingual Corpus Linguistics</div><div> * Exploitation of Parallel Corpora for Evaluation</div><div> * Annotated Parallel Corpora for Machine Translation</div>
<div> * Novel Applications of Annotated Parallel Corpora</div><div><br></div><div>AEPC Workshop Schedule</div><div><br></div><div> * Deadline for paper submission: 26 September 2010</div><div> * Notification of acceptance: 24 October 2010</div>
