COLING 2010
Workshop on Multiword Expressions: from Theory to Applications (MWE 2010)
at Beijing, China
July 31, 2010
Early bird registration deadline extended!
Information at: http://multiword.sf.net/mwe2010
Endorsed by the Special Interest Group on the Lexicon of the Association
for Computational Linguistics (SIGLEX)
=========================
Multiword Expressions (MWEs) are a ubiquitous component of natural
languages and appear steadily on a daily basis, both in specialized and in
general-purpose communication. While easily mastered by native speakers,
their interpretation poses a major challenge for automated analysis due to
their flexible and heterogeneous nature. Therefore, the automated
processing of MWEs is desirable for any natural language application that
involves some degree of semantic interpretation, e.g., Machine Translation,
Information Extraction, and Question Answering.
In spite of the recent advances in the field, there is a wide range of open
problems that prevent MWE treatment techniques from full integration in
current NLP systems. In MWE'2010, we will be interested in major
challenges in the overall process of MWE treatment, asking for original
research related but not limited to the following topics:
* MWE resources: Although underused in most current state-of-the-art
approaches, resources are key for developing real-world
applications capable of interpreting MWEs. We call for papers
describing the process of building MWE resources, constructed
both manually and automatically from text corpora; we are also
interested in assessing the usability of such resources in
various MWE tasks.
* Hybrid approaches: We invite research on integrating heterogeneous
MWE treatment techniques and resources in NLP applications. Such
hybrid approaches can aim, for example, at the combination of
results from symbolic and statistical approaches, at the fusion
of manually built and automatically extracted resources, or at
the design of language learning techniques.
* Domain adaptation: Real-world NLP applications need to be robust
to deal with texts coming from different domains. We thus call
for papers assessing the performance of MWE methods across
domains or describing domain adaptation techniques for MWEs.
* Multilingualism: Parallel and comparable corpora are gaining
popularity as a resource for automatic MWE discovery and
treatment. We are also interested in the integration of MWE
processing in multilingual applications such as machine
translation and multilingual information retrieval, as well as
in porting existing monolingual MWE approaches to new languages.
