Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics
Call Deadline: 12-Apr-2006
Meeting Description:
There has been a growing awareness in the NLP community of the
problems that Multiword Expressions (MWEs) pose. Given all the
progress that has been made, it is now the time to ask some
fundamental questions on the nature of MWEs. A better understanding of
the underlying linguistic properties that define MWEs as well as their
cognitive aspects can be used to inform their computational
treatment. These combinations of research will help to provide a more
complete picture of the nature of MWEs, which can be used to advance
NLP methods for capturing them.
This workshop continues a tradition of ACL workshops on Collocations
(2001) and Multiword Expressions (2003 and 2004). Its specific
objective is to focus on the underlying properties of MWEs.
Final Call for Papers
COLING-ACL Workshop on Multiword Expressions:
Identifying and Exploiting Underlying Properties
(Endorsed by SIGLEX)
July 23, 2006, Sydney, Australia
** Submission Deadline: April 12 2006 **
Submissions:
We welcome papers describing original work on MWEs, and this includes
(but is not limited to) research on:
(1) Linguistic, Empirical and Cognitive Properties of MWEs: research
into the definitions and properties of MWEs and the impact that
such information has on NLP applications. We will also welcome
studies which investigate cross-linguistic properties or
which identify variation across languages (or families of
languages). This includes research on how to identify and
handle parallel constructions in different languages: how easily
can techniques developed for one language be transferred to
another and how can cues in one language help in another?
(2) Classes of MWEs: investigating the representation of classes of
MWEs and the extent to which classes of MWEs can be treated with
common methods, to help assess how much we can expect
computational techniques to transfer across classes. What methods
are there for identifying variability in MWEs and how reliable are
these?
(3) Linguistic and Psycholinguistic Theories of MWEs: combining the
computational treatment of a class of MWEs with a solid linguistic
and/or psycholinguistic analysis.
(4) Evaluation: addressing how to overcome the limitations that the
lack of gold standards brings on the evaluation of techniques for
automatic extraction, representation, and use of information about
MWEs. What techniques are best for establishing standards - web
experiments, expert judgements, etc. - and how can we best
contribute to available resources?
(5) Compositionality: assessing how humans and computers can make
reliable judgements on compositionality for the different
categories of MWE and to what extent non-compositionality is
important for determining whether a given candidate is a MWE.
Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and
should not exceed eight (8) pages, including references. We strongly
recommend the use of the LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word document
template that will be made available on the COLING-ACL main conference
Web site (http://www.acl2006.mq.edu.au/).
As reviewing will be blind, the paper should not include the authors'
names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the
author's identity, e.g., ''We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...'',
should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as ''Smith previously
showed (Smith, 1991) ...''.
Submission will be electronic using the paper submission START system,
and they must be in Adobe PDF format. The papers must be submitted no
later than April 12, 2006. Papers submitted after that time will not
be reviewed. For details of the submission procedure, please consult
the submission webpage reachable via the workshop website.
Important Dates:
Paper submission deadline: April 12, 2006 Notification of acceptance

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $52,932. This money will go to help keep the
List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.
See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 2006
LINGUIST List Cruise for some Fund Drive fun!

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!
You can donate right now using our secure credit card form.
Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later.
For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to donate by
check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can
receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit
organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift
you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human
resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns
to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the
value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment
to check if your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
