Meeting Description:

Short and long paper submission deadline: April 01, 2011

The 5th Workshop on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social
Sciences, and Humanities will be held in conjunction with the 49th Annual
Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language
Technologies (ACL/HLT 2011) which will take place in June 19-24, 2011, in
Portland, Oregon, USA (http://www.acl2011.org/).

About the Workshop:

The LaTeCH workshop series aims to provide a forum for researchers who are
working on developing novel information technology for improved information
access to data from the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage. 

Recent developments in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural
Heritage draw an increasing interest from researchers in NLP in developing
methods for data cleaning, semantic annotation, intelligent querying,
linking, discovery and visualisation of interesting trends. Language
technology has an important role to play in these processes, even for
collections which are primarily non-textual, since text is the pervasive
medium used for metadata. These fairly novel domains of application entail
new challenges to NLP research, such as noisy text (e.g., due to OCR
problems), non-standard, or archaic language varieties (e.g., historic
language, dialects, mixed use of languages, ellipsis, transcription
errors), the necessity to link data of diverse formats (e.g., text,
database, video, speech) and languages, and the lack of available
resources, such as dictionaries. Furthermore, often neither annotated
domain data is available, nor the required funds to manually create it,
thus forcing researchers to investigate (semi-) automatic resource
development and domain adaptation approaches involving the least possible
manual effort. 

Call for Papers:

Workshop Topics:

Authors are invited to submit long or short papers on original, unpublished
work in the topic areas of the workshop, including (but not limited to) the
following:

-Adapting existing NLP tools to Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and
Humanities domains
-Automatic error detection and cleaning
-Complex annotation tools and interfaces
-Dealing with linguistic variation and non-standard or non-contemporary use
of language
-Knowledge discovery and text mining from Cultural Heritage, Social
Sciences, and Humanities data
-Knowledge representation in Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities
-Linking and retrieving information from different sources, media, and domains
-Ontologies, data models, taxonomies: automatic induction and standardisation
-Natural language generation for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and
Humanities data
-User and audience modeling, recommendation, personalisation
-Transdisciplinary research on Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and
Humanities data   
-User scenarios and use cases

Information for authors

Authors are invited to submit papers on original, unpublished work in the
topic areas of the workshop. In addition to long papers presenting
completed work, we also invite short papers and system description (demos): 

-Long papers should present completed work and may consist of up to eight
(8) pages of content, with two (2) additional pages of references.
   
-Short papers/demos can present work in progress, or the description of a
system, and may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, and two (2)
additional pages of references.
   
All submissions should be formatted using the ACL formatting style:

http://www.acl2011.org/call.shtml#submission

The reviewing process will be blind; the papers should not include the
authors' names and affiliations, or any references to web sites, project
names, etc., revealing the authors' identity. Accepted papers will be
published in the workshop proceedings.

Papers should be submitted electronically, in PDF format, via the
ACL/LaTeCH 2011 submission website:
