Call Deadline: 14-Oct-2011 

Extended Deadline: 14 October 2011

Call for Papers

Special Issue of the TAL (Traitement Automatique des Langues / Natural 
Language Processing) Journal of ATALA (French Association for Natural 
Language Processing) invites authors to submit papers for the Special Issue 
on 'Free Language Resources'. 

The goal of this special issue is to focus on the full range of scientific issues 
related to language resources that go beyond the description of the resources 
by themselves. Thus, expected contributions can cover all topics related to 
language resources, including:

- Modeling of the language data that constitute the resource (both 
linguistically motivated formal frameworks, representation of linguistic 
information in the form of structured and/or quantitative data, standards for 
Language Resources ...)

- Methodologies for the development of Language Resources, either by hand, 
completely automatic or hybrid (semi-supervised techniques, interlingual 
transfer methods, use of pre-annotation tools, validation / correction 
interfaces, etc.), approaches promoting linguistic relevance while minimizing 
the 'human cost' are most welcome.

- Methods for validation and evaluation of language resources including 
extrinsic evaluation within NLP systems and for experimental linguistic 
purposes. Contributions must show how the use of language resources has 
caused system performance improvements, better understanding of 
phenomenon and/or  be a means to assess or improve these language 
resources.

Language Resources for French, or better multilingual resources or language 
independent methods where French is one of the addressed languages, are 
the main objective of this call. Works on resources for other Romance 
languages are also relevant. In addition, contributions related to free 
resources will be particularly appreciated.

The Journal 

TAL (Traitement Automatique des Langues / Natural Language Processing) is 
a forty year old international journal published by ATALA (French 
Associationfor Natural Language Processing) with the support of CNRS 
(National Centre for Scientific Research). It has moved to an electronic mode 
of publication, with printing on demand. This affects in no way its reviewing 
and selection process.
