The 12th edition of TLT will take place in Sofia, Bulgaria on December 13-14, 2013, and will be hosted by the BulTreeBank Group.</div><div><br></div><div>TLT-12 website: <a href="http://bultreebank.org/TLT12/">http://bultreebank.org/TLT12/</a></div><div><br></div><div>This year, TLT will be accompanied by the third Workshop on Annotation of Corpora for Research in the Humanities (ACRH-3) that takes place on December 12, 2013. More information is available at: <a href="http://www.bultreebank.org/ACRH-3/">http://www.bultreebank.org/ACRH-3/</a></div><div><br></div><div>TLT started its first edition in 2002 in Sozopol, Bulgaria. Now its 12th edition comes back to Bulgaria again! For more than 10 years now TLT has served as a venue for new and ongoing high-quality work related to syntactically-annotated corpora, i.e., treebanks; with a focus on all the aspects of treebanking -- descriptive, theoretical, formal and computational -- but also going beyond treebanks, including other levels of annotation such as frame semantics, coreference, or events, to name only a few. </div><div><br></div><div>Submissions are invited for papers, posters, and demonstrations which present research on treebanks and their intersection with linguistics, natural language processing, and other related fields.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Workshop Motivation and Aims</div><div><br></div><div>Treebanks have proved to be crucial resources for very important NLP applications, such as MT and information extraction, as well as supporting resources for various NLP tasks, such as high-quality parsing and POS tagging. More recent trends in treebank related research includes, but is not restricted to the following areas: </div><div><br></div><div>* Annotating deep syntactic information, </div><div>* converting into deeper formats, often also adding information automatically, </div><div>* multilingual and crosslingual treebanking</div><div>* enriching treebanks with additional layers of linguistic annotation as well as world knowledge </div><div>* dynamic treebanking involving a close connection between parsing and manual annotation,</div><div>* designing web services for diverse treebanks</div><div>* mapping syntactic and semantic knowledge to Linked Open Data information (LOD)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>This series of workshops aims to provide a forum for researchers and advanced students working in these areas.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Workshop Topics</div><div><br></div><div>The workshop invites submissions that discuss relevant innovative work in treebanking, including the relations and links between various aspects of morphological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic annotation; furthermore, submissions describing work on parallel treebanks and/or cross-language annotation schemas, on the relation between linguistic theory and the practice of annotation, and on applications of information in treebanks are encouraged as well.</div><div><br></div><div>The areas of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following topics:</div><div><br></div><div>* design principles and annotation schemes for treebanks</div><div>* linguistic theory and the practice of annotation</div><div>* applications of treebanks in acquiring linguistic knowledge and in NLP</div><div>* the role of linguistic theories in treebank development</div><div>* treebanks as a basis for linguistic research</div><div>* annotated beyond treebanks</div><div>* evaluation and quality control of treebanks</div><div>* tools for creation and management of treebanks</div><div>* treebanks of less-resourced languages</div><div>* theories, schemas, and applications for parallel treebanks</div><div>* standards for treebanks</div><div>* creation of large treebanks</div><div>* mapping of treebanks to Linked Open Data resources</div><div>* using Treebanks in Analysis and Generation tasks</div><div>* domain-specific treebanks</div><div>* the future of treebanks and treebanking</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Invited Speakers</div><div><br></div><div>* Stefanie Dipper (University of Bochum, Germany)</div><div>* Antonio Branco (University of Lisbon, Portugal)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Important Dates</div><div><br></div><div>Submission deadline: September 15 (Sunday)</div><div>Reviews due: October 20 (Sunday)</div><div>Notification: October 25 (Friday)</div><div>Final submission: November 17 (Sunday)</div><div>Workshops: December 12-14</div><div><br></div><div>Submission is via easychair, at: <a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tlt12">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tlt12</a></div><div><br></div><div>Instructions for submission are available at: <a href="http://www.bultreebank.org/TLT12/SubmissionGuidelines.html">http://www.bultreebank.org/TLT12/SubmissionGuidelines.html</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Program Committee</div><div><br></div><div>Sandra Kübler, Indiana University, USA (co-chair)</div><div>Petya Osenova, Sofia University, Bulgaria (co-chair)</div><div>Martin Volk, University of Zurich, Switzerland (co-chair)</div><div><br></div><div>Yvonne Adesam, Gothenburg University, Sweden</div><div>Eckhard Bick, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark</div><div>Johan Bos, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands</div><div>António Branco, University of Lisbon, Portugal</div><div>Koenraad De Smedt, Bergen University, Norway</div><div>Markus Dickinson, Indiana University, USA</div><div>Stefanie Dipper, Bochum University, Germany</div><div>Dan Flickinger, Stanford University, USA</div><div>Georgi Georgiev, Ontotext, Bulgaria</div><div>Anne Göhring, University of Zurich, Switzerland</div><div>Eva Hajičová, Charles University, Czech Republic</div><div>Iris Hendrickx, University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands</div><div>Erhard Hinrichs, University of Tuebingen, Germany</div><div>Valia Kordoni, Humboldt University, Germany</div><div>Amalia Mendes, University of Lisbon, Portugal</div><div>Detmar Meurers, University of Tuebingen, Germany</div><div>Yusuke Miyao, University of Tokyo, Japan</div><div>Kaili Muurisep, Tartu University, Estonia</div><div>Kemal Oflazer, Carnegie Mellon University, Qatar</div><div>Sebastian Padó, Heidelberg University, Germany</div><div>Marco Passarotti, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Italy</div><div>Kiril Simov, IICT-BAS, Bulgaria</div><div>Adam Przepiórkowski,Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland</div><div>Victoria Rosén, Bergen University, Norway</div><div>Caroline Sporleder, Saarland University, Germany</div><div>Manfred Stede, University of Potsdam, Germany</div><div>Gertjan van Noord, University of Groningen, The Netherlands</div><div>Heike Zinsmeister, Stuttgart University, Germany</div><div><br></div><div>Local Organization Committee</div><div><br></div><div>Petya Osenova (Sofia University)</div><div>Kiril Simov (IICT-BAS)</div><div>Stanislava Kancheva (Sofia University)</div><div>Georgi Georgiev (Ontotext)</div><div>Borislav Popov (Ontotext)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>For more information or questions, please contact: <a href="mailto:petya@bultreebank.org">petya@bultreebank.org</a>.</div><div><br></div><div apple-content-edited="true">
