Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics

Call Deadline: 15-Mar-2006

Meeting Description:

We invite the submission of papers for the forthcoming ninth INTEX/NooJ 
workshop, to be held in Belgrade, Serbia, June 1 - June 3, 2006 at the  
Faculty of Mathematics, University of Belgrade.

INTEX/NooJ is a linguistic development environment that includes tools 
to construct and maintain large-coverage lexical resources, 
morphological and syntactic grammars. Dictionaries and grammars are 
applied to texts in order to locate morphological, lexical and 
syntactic patterns, remove ambiguities, tag words and extract semantic 
entities.

We invite the submission of papers for the forthcoming ninth INTEX/NooJ 
workshop, to be held in Belgrade, Serbia, June 1 - June 3, 2006 at the  
Faculty of Mathematics, University of Belgrade.

INTEX/NooJ is a linguistic development environment that includes tools 
to construct and maintain large-coverage lexical resources, 
morphological and syntactic grammars. Dictionaries and grammars are 
applied to texts in order to locate morphological, lexical and 
syntactic patterns, remove ambiguities, tag words and extract semantic 
entities.

INTEX/NooJ can build lemmatized concordances of large texts from 
Finite-State Automata and Transducers, Context-Free grammars and 
Recursive Transition Networks, and can accordingly perform 
transformation operations on texts in cascade to recusively annotate 
texts, which gives it the power of a Turing machine. INTEX/NooJ is used 
as a linguistic development platform, an information retrieval system, 
a terminological extractor, as well as to teach linguistics and 
computational linguistics to students.

NooJ is the latest version of INTEX, now completely redesigned and 
built in the Object Oriented ''Component Programming'' .NET framework. 
NooJ's main improvements over INTEX are:

- its new dictionary architecture: all previous DELA-type dictionaries 
and lexicon-grammars are now unified, - NooJ linguistic parsers are non 
destructive: NooJ uses an annotation system synchronized to the text, 
that allows transducers to be applied to texts in cascade without ever 
destroying the original text, - its integration of its inflection & 
derivation engine into its syntactic engine that allows linguists to 
program Harris-type transformations, - its addition of a number of 
tools inspired by Software Engineering techniques, that make the 
development of large linguistic resources more robust over time.

Finally, NooJ includes a number of technical improvements:  NooJ 
processes texts and corpora in over 100+ file formats, including all 
variants of UNICODE, ASCII, HTML, MS-WORD, etc. ; NooJ's linguistic 
engine is multilingual ; NooJ can import information from, and export 
its annotations back to XML documents ; NooJ command-line programs and 
direct Object Oriented API makes it much easier to integrate any of its 
functionalities into other applications, etc. To learn more about NooJ: 
www.nooj4nlp.net.

As in the previous workshops, this meeting will be the opportunity for 
INTEX and NooJ users, as well as other researchers interested in NLP, 
to meet and to exchange their experience of development, research or 
teaching, including computational morphology, lexicon and quantitative 
linguistics. It will also be the occasion to present and discover the 
recent developments of NooJ.

Send before March 15, 2006 a one-page abstract to nooj_at_matf.bg.ac.yu.

The abstract, in French or in English, should contain the title of the 
article, the name, affiliation, surface mail and electronic address of 
each co-author.

All papers will be reviewed by the program committee. Authors will be 
notified whether their papers are accepted or rejected by April 8th, 
2006. The timeslot is 30 minutes for presentations (including 5 minutes 
for discussions). After the conference, authors selected for publishing 
by the program committee will be invited to send a definitive version 
of their papers for publication.
