/><b>Descripción</b><br /><p>Workshop overview<br
/>-----------------<br />Linguistic annotation of natural language
corpora is the backbone of supervised methods for statistical natural
language processing. It also provides valuable data for evaluation of
both rule-based and supervised systems and can help formalize and
study linguistic phenomena.<br /><br />The LAW provides a forum for
presentation and discussion of innovative research on all aspects of
linguistic annotation, including creation/evaluation of annotation
schemes, methods for automatic and manual annotation, use and
evaluation of annotation software and frameworks, representation of
linguistic data and annotations, etc. This year, a significant part of
the workshop will focus on the special theme of Interoperability with
Discourse. <br /><br />Important dates<br />---------------<br />3 May
2013: Submission deadline for papers (NEW)<br />10 May 2013:
Submission deadline for the shared task (NEW)<br />24 May 2013:
Notification of Acceptance<br />7 June 2013: Camera-ready paper due<br

Chairs<br />---------------<br />Antonio Pareja-Lora, SIC & ILSA, UCM
/ ATLAS, UNED<br />Maria Liakata, University of Warwick/European
Bioinformatics Institute Cambridge<br />Stefanie Dipper,
Ruhr-University Bochum<br /><br />Submissions<br />-----------<br />We
welcome submissions of long (8 pages) and short (4 pages) papers,
posters, and demonstrations, relating to any aspect of linguistic
annotation, including:<br /><br />(a) Annotation procedures:<br />
* Innovative automated and manual strategies for annotation<br /> *
Machine learning and knowledge-based methods for automation of corpus
annotation<br /> * Creation, maintenance, and interactive
exploration of annotation structures and annotated data <br /><br
/>(b) Annotation evaluation:<br /> * Inter-annotator agreement and
other evaluation metrics and strategies<br /> * Qualitative
evaluation of linguistic representation <br /><br />(c) Annotation
access and use:<br /> * Representation formats/structures for
merged annotations of different phenomena, and means to
explore/manipulate them<br /> * Linguistic considerations for
merging annotations of distinct phenomena <br /><br />(d) Annotation
guidelines and standards:<br /> * Best practices for annotation
procedures and/or development and documentation of annotation
schemes<br /> * Interoperability of annotation formats and/or
frameworks among different systems as well as different tasks,
frameworks, modalities, and languages <br /><br />(e) Annotation
software and frameworks:<br /> * Development, evaluation and/or
innovative use of annotation software frameworks <br /><br />(f)
Annotation schemes:<br /> * New and innovative annotation
schemes<br /> * Comparison of annotation schemes <br /><br
/>Workshop Theme<br />--------------<br />We encourage submission of
papers relating to this year's theme, Interoperability with Discourse.
We are particularly interested in the comparison and interoperability
of different models and techniques used for and in conjunction with
discourse annotation, focusing on any of the following goals:<br /><br
/>(a) Creation of new insights within the field of discourse (by
juxtaposing two or more points of view as reflected by different
annotation schemes or annotation techniques).<br /><br />(b) Fostering
interoperability between pragmatic and semantic phenomena in
discourse, ranging from functional categories (e.g. methods, results,
hypotheses,etc.) to traditional discourse relations (connectives,
anaphora, metonymies, etc.)<br /><br />(c) Connecting syntactic,
semantic and pragmatic layers of annotation.<br /><br />(d) Working
towards a framework, representation standards, tools and methods that
will allow the integration and co-existence of current and future
discourse-related annotation schemes.<br /><br />Workshop Challenge<br
/>------------------<br />This year's workshop continues the tradition
of the LAW Challenge, established last year, which provides funding
for travel etc. to the individual or team that best meets a set of
criteria. This year, the judges will give special consideration to
papers closely related to the workshop theme, i.e., (1) integrating
functional discourse annotation from one or more corpora with other
types of annotation; and (2) demonstrating how interoperability can
increase the understanding of the discourse. However, all papers
addressing annotation interoperability or integration will be
considered. For further information, please visit <a
href="http://nactem.ac.uk/law7-id/."
target="_blank">http://nactem.ac.uk/law7-id/.</a><br /><br
/>Submission Information<br />----------------------<br />The papers
should report original and unpublished research on topics of interest
for the workshop. Accepted papers are expected to be presented at the
workshop, and will be published in the workshop proceedings. They
should emphasize obtained results rather than intended work, and
should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported
results.<br /><br />A paper accepted for presentation at the workshop
must not be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with
publicly available proceedings. <br /><br />Submissions must be in PDF
and formatted using the ACL 2013 style files, available at <a
href="http://www.linguistics.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/law7-id/."
target="_blank">http://www.linguistics.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/law7-id/.</a><br
/><br />The maximum length is eight (8) pages of content for long
papers or four (4) pages of content for short papers, posters, and
demonstrations, plus up to two (2) pages of references.<br /><br
/>Reviewing of papers will be double-blind. Therefore, the paper must
not include the authors' names and affiliations, and self-references
that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith,
1991) ..." should be replaced with citations such as "Smith (1991)
previously showed ...". Papers that do not conform to these
requirements will be rejected without review.<br /><br />Authors of
papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or
publications must provide this information on the START online
submission page. Authors of accepted papers must notify the program
chairs within 10 days of acceptance if the paper is withdrawn for any
reason. <br /><br />Submission site: <a

2013, 23:59 GMT (shared task). Papers submitted after the deadline
will not be reviewed.</p><br /><b>Área temática:</b> Análisis del
