Full Title: Language Resources and Evaluation 


Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 01-Jul-2010 

Language Resources and Evaluation Journal
Special Issue on 'Collaboratively Constructed Language Resources'

http://www.ukp.tu-darmstadt.de/scientific-community/special-issue-language-resources-and-evaluation/

KEYWORDS
Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Mechanical Turk, Games with a Purpose, Folksonomies,
Twitter, Social Networks

TOPICS OF INTEREST
Specific topics include but are not limited to:
 - Analysis of collaboratively constructed resources, such as wiki-based
resources, folksonomies, Twitter, or social networks;
 - Using special features of collaboratively constructed resources to
create novel resource types, for example revision-based corpora, simplified
versions of resources, etc.;
 - Analyzing the structure of collaboratively constructed resources related
to their use in computational linguistics and language technology;
 - Interoperability of collaboratively constructed resources with
conventional language resources and between themselves;
 - Mining social and collaborative content for constructing structured
language resources (e.g. lexical semantic resources) and the corresponding
tools;
 - Mining multilingual information from collaboratively constructed resources;
 - Game-based approaches to resource creation;
 - Mechanical Turk for building language resources;
 - Quality and reliability of collaboratively constructed language resources.

We would also like to welcome papers outlining the challenges related to
using collaboratively constructed resources in computational linguistics
and language technology, and spanning the cross-disciplinary boundaries to
discourse analysis, social network
analysis, and artificial intelligence.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $65,000. 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 Space Fund 
Drive 2010 and join us for a great journey!

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to: 
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

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!
