<DIV>Motivation</DIV>
<DIV>----------</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the last decade, research on language technology applications, such
as</DIV>
<DIV>machine translation (MT), information retrieval and extraction (also</DIV>
<DIV>cross-linguistic), etc. has benefited from the significant advances
obtained</DIV>
<DIV>with the exploitation of increasingly sophisticated statistical
approaches.</DIV>
<DIV>To a large extent, this advancement has been achieved also by encompassing
a</DIV>
<DIV>host of subsidiary and increasingly more fine-grained linguistic</DIV>
<DIV>distinctions at the syntactic and semantic levels.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thus, the NLP mainstream has headed towards the modeling of
multilayered</DIV>
<DIV>linguistic knowledge. To leap forward in terms of the quality of its
output,</DIV>
<DIV>machine translation and other technologies are taking advantage of
enhanced</DIV>
<DIV>capacities for deeper analysis of natural language and massive open
online</DIV>
<DIV>world knowledge that are now becoming available. The following
initiatives</DIV>
<DIV>can be mentioned as best practices, among others:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>* LOGON MT system from-Norwegian-to-English which uses Minimal
Recursion</DIV>
<DIV>Semantics (MRS) and DELPH-IN deep HPSG grammar expertise for language</DIV>
<DIV>transfer;</DIV>
<DIV>* Systems based on Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR);</DIV>
<DIV>* The ParGram parallel deep grammars and parsebanks covering several</DIV>
<DIV>language families in the LFG formalism;</DIV>
<DIV>* The development of sophisticated syntactic and semantic models,
sensitive</DIV>
<DIV>to lexical semantics and semantic roles;</DIV>
<DIV>* Creation of high-quality parallel treebanks via model transfers (such
as</DIV>
<DIV>Prague Czech-English Dependency treebank);</DIV>
<DIV>* Creation of deep resources, such as English DeepBank, released in
2013;</DIV>
<DIV>* Creation of common tagsets and thus ‘universalizing’ linguistic
resources,</DIV>
<DIV>such as treebanks in Google, the HamleDT project, etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the long run, richer world knowledge will be available, even beyond
the</DIV>
<DIV>current Linked Open Data, with respect to larger datasets, richer
semantics</DIV>
<DIV>enhanced with world facts, and more dynamic conceptual knowledge</DIV>
<DIV>representation. Concomitantly, the evolutive trend in Natural
Language</DIV>
<DIV>Processing shows a strong integration of the knowledge-poor language</DIV>
<DIV>processing with the knowledge-rich one, supported by deep grammars and
deep</DIV>
<DIV>language resources.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This proposal joins forces of the former Advanced Treebanking community,
as</DIV>
<DIV>represented by the 2012 LREC Workshop on Advanced Treebanking, with the
new</DIV>
<DIV>stream of projects aimed at high quality applications, most prominently
-</DIV>
<DIV>Machine Translation.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The workshop invites papers on progress in the use of deep natural
language</DIV>
<DIV>processing and resources providing deep analyses for a range of
applications</DIV>
<DIV>including, but not limited to, machine translation.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Topics of interest</DIV>
<DIV>------------------</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>* Deep MT transfer models</DIV>
<DIV>* Deep processing of source language</DIV>
<DIV>* Deep generation using world knowledge models and/or deep grammars</DIV>
<DIV>* MT and IR supported by Linked Open Data</DIV>
<DIV>* Speech and dialog systems supported by deep processing</DIV>
<DIV>* Modeling deep linguistic knowledge for quality applications</DIV>
<DIV>* Statistical models for quality MT and other NLP-related tasks</DIV>
<DIV>* Development and exploitation of monolingual and parallel deep language
resources: deep grammars, parsebanks, propbanks, valency lexicons and other deep
lexical resources, ontologies etc.</DIV>
<DIV>* Adaptation of deep language resources to MT and other NLP-related
tasks</DIV>
<DIV>* Knowledge-based metrics for evaluation</DIV>
