Meeting Description:
''Diagrams'' is an international and interdisciplinary conference
series on the theory and application of diagrams in any scientific
field of enquiry. From early human history, diagrams have been
pervasive in human communication. The recent rise of multimedia
technology that has turned advanced visual communication into an
integral part of our everyday reality makes a better understanding of
the role of diagrams and sketches in communication, cognition,
creative thought, and problem-solving a necessity. These developments
have triggered a new surge of interest in the study of diagrammatic
notations, which is driven by several different scientific disciplines
concerned with cognition, computation and communication.
Diagrams 2004: Third International Conference on Theory and
Application of Diagrams
March 22-24, 2004
Cambridge University, UK
The study of diagrammatic communication as a whole must be pursued as
an interdisciplinary endeavor. ''Diagrams 2004'' is the third event in
this conference series, which was successfully launched in Edinburgh
in September 2000. It attracts a large number of researchers from
virtually all academic fields that are studying the nature of
diagrammatic representations, their use in human communication, and
cognitive or computational mechanisms for processing diagrams. By
combining several earlier workshop and symposia series that were held
in the US and Europe [Reasoning with Diagrammatic Representations
(DR), US; Thinking with Diagrams (TWD), Europe; Theory of Visual
Languages (TVL), Europe], ''Diagrams'' has emerged as a major
international conference on this topic. It is the only conference
that provides a united forum for all areas that are concerned with the
study of diagrams: architecture, artificial intelligence, cartography,
cognitive science, computer science, education, graphic design,
history of science, human-computer interaction, linguistics,
philosophy and logic, and psychology, to name a few.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* diagram understanding by humans or machines
* reasoning with diagrammatic representations
* diagram usage in scientific discovery
* history of diagrammatic languages and notations
* formalization of diagrammatic notations
* novel uses of diagrammatic notations
* design of diagrammatic notations
* interactive graphical communication
* psychological issues pertaining to perception, comprehension, and
production of diagrams
* computational models of reasoning with and interpretation of diagrams
* role of diagrams in applied areas such as visualization
* spatial information and diagrams
* usability issues concerning diagrams
* design with diagrams
''Diagrams 2004'' will consist of technical sessions with
presentations of refereed papers, posters and tutorial sessions. The
tutorials will provide introductions to diagram research in various
disciplines in order to foster a lively interdisciplinary exchange.
We invite submissions of tutorial proposals, full research papers and
extended abstracts of posters. All submissions will be fully peer
reviewed and accepted papers and posters will be published in the
conference proceedings.
Important Dates:
- ---------------
5 September: notice of intent to submit
12 September: deadline for regular research paper and tutorial
proposal submission
12 November: deadline for extended abstract for poster paper
submission
16 November: notification for tutorial proposals & full papers

15 December: camera ready copies due
22-24 March: Diagrams conference

Meeting Description:
Workshop on Tagging and Shallow Processing of Portuguese
(TASHA'2003)
University of Lisbon, October 3, 2003
http://tasha2003.di.fc.ul.pt
A workshop associated with the
XIX Annual Meeting of the Portuguese Linguistics Society
http://www.apl.org.pt/xix.htm
Scope
- ---
Recent advances on tagging and other shallow processing tools have
confirmed the key importance of these applications to enable
subsequent stages of efficient deep linguistic processing, and to
improve the quality of information retrieval services and support the
semantic web.
The goal of this workshop will be to provide a forum to discuss
experiences and exchange results between people working in this area,
and to review the current state of the art in this diverse field in
what concerns the Portuguese language.
We would like to invite presentations reporting on recent advances on
all aspects of the shallow processing of Portuguese. We encourage the
representation of a large, multidisciplinary range of aspects
including but not limited to issues related to the entire production
cycle of POS taggers and other shallow processing tools such as
tokenizers, stemmers, MWU detectors, named entity recognizers, NP
chunkers, WSD tools, PP attachment resolvers, terminology extractors,
etc., ranging from the collection of stop lists to the integration of
these tools into broader systems and applications, and including
a.o. methodologies for accurate hand tagging, linguistic resources for
training and evaluation, learning algorithms and their eventual tuning
to Portuguese, finite-state solutions, evaluation metrics and results,
selected linguistic generalizations and specifications, etc.
We invite presentations about relevant solutions and approaches to the
above issues as well as descriptions or demos of tools, resources,
systems or projects.
