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" align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</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. </font></font><font color="#222222"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size:11pt">The
selected papers offer explorations into the following directions: (1)
creation of metaphor-annotated datasets; (2) identification of new
features that are useful for metaphor identification; (3)
cross-lingual metaphor identification.</font></font></font></p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt">The
papers represent a variety of approaches to utilization and creation
of datasets. While existing annotated corpora were used in some
papers (Dunn, Tsvetkov et al), most papers describe creation of new
annotated materials. Along with annotation guidelines adapted from
the MIP and MIPVU procedures (Badryzlova et al), more intuitive
annotation protocols are explored in Beigman Klebanov and Flor, Hovy
et al, Heintz et al, Mohler et al, and Strzalkowski et al.</font></p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt">The
papers present a number of novel and extended features for metaphor
detection. Topic models, abstractness/concreteness, and semantic
classifications based on an ontology are each used in multiple
papers. Additional features include classes of named entities
(Tsvetkov et al), WordNet examples and glosses (Wilks et al);
suggestive evidence is presented regarding potential usefulness of a
relationality feature (Jamrozik et al). A distinguishing
characteristic of multiple submissions is the interest in
cross-lingual approaches to metaphor identification. Accordingly,
contributors explore features that can be supported by resources that
exist in languages like Russian, Spanish, and Farsi (Strzalkowski et
al., Tsvetkov et al, Heintz et al).</font></p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt">The
program of the workshop also features two invited talks that
complement the discussion by addressing topics that are not addressed
by this year’s submissions, namely, the relationship between
metaphor and action (Srini Narayanan), and interpretation of
metaphors (John Barnden).</font></p>
