DESCRIPTION</b></font></font></font></p>
<p class="western" align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0in"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size:11pt">Characteristic
to all areas of human activity (from poetic to ordinary to
scientific) and, thus, to all types of discourse, metaphor becomes an
important problem for natural language processing. Its ubiquity in
language has been established in a number of corpus studies and the
role it plays in human reasoning has been confirmed in psychological
experiments. This makes metaphor an important research area for
computational and cognitive linguistics, and its automatic
identification and interpretation indispensable for any
semantics-oriented NLP application.</font></font></p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0in"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size:11pt">The
work on metaphor in NLP and AI started in the 1980s, providing us
with a wealth of ideas on the structure and mechanisms of the
phenomenon. The last decade witnessed a technological leap in natural
language computation, whereby manually crafted rules gradually give
way to more robust corpus-based statistical methods. This is also the
case for metaphor research. In the recent years, the problem of
metaphor modeling has been steadily gaining interest within the NLP
community, with a growing number of approaches exploiting statistical
techniques. Compared to more traditional approaches based on
hand-coded knowledge, these more recent methods tend to have a wider
coverage, as well as be more efficient, accurate and robust. However,
even the statistical metaphor processing approaches so far often
focused on a limited domain or a subset of phenomena. At the same
time, recent work on computational lexical semantics and lexical
acquisition techniques, as well as a wide range of NLP methods
applying machine learning to open-domain semantic tasks, open many
new avenues for creation of large-scale robust tools for recognition
and interpretation of metaphor.</font></font></p>

</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0in"><font color="#000000"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size:11pt">The
main focus of the workshop is on computational </font></font></font><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size:11pt">modeling
of metaphor using state-of-the-art NLP techniques. However, papers on
cognitive, linguistic, and applied aspects of metaphor are also of
interest, provided that they are presented within a computational,
formal or quantitative framework.</font></font><font color="#000000"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size:11pt">
</font></font></font><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size:11pt">We
also encourage descriptions of proposals and data sets for shared
tasks on metaphor processing. </font></font>
