Full Title: LREC META-RESEARCH Workshop on Advanced Treebanking 

Date: 22-May-2012 - 22-May-2012
Location: Istanbul, Turkey 
Contact Person: Jan Hajic
Meeting Email: hajic at ufal.mff.cuni.cz

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 20-Feb-2012 

Meeting Description:

Many EU and world-wide projects and research groups are creating, standardizing, converting and/or using treebanks, thereby often tackling the same issues and reinventing methods and tools. The workshop has been conceived by four projects, namely T4ME, META-NORD, CESAR and META4U, which under the META-NET umbrella project strive to make many treebanks and other LRT available for R&D. However, the workshop is not limited to participants of META-NET, but it is widely open: papers of authors of any origin will be welcome to share their experiences among those working in this area. Also, papers on using treebanks in innovative ways and/or analyzing issues with current treebanks (both in content and format) will be welcome, to provide feedback to treebank developers. The emphasis is not on linguistic theory or grammar, but on treebanks as language resources. 

Call for Papers:

As part of the LREC-2012 Language Resources Conference, to be held in Istanbul, Turkey, the META-RESEARCH Workshop on Advanced Treebanking (http://www.meta-net.eu/meta-research/events/lrec2012-treebanking-workshop) invites papers on all aspects of treebanking, especially but not limited to:

- Treebank annotation (manual, semi-automatic, automatic) and related issues such as quality control, searching large collections of treebanks, parallel treebanks
- Treebank conversion between different linguistic representations (e.g. dependency vs. phrase-based) and between different formats
- Treebank standardization and format unification across languages and styles
- Combinations of treebanks and other annotations - including but not limited to semantic role labeling, named entity annotation, discourse annotation, information structure
- Tools and online web services for the management of treebanks, visualization, search, processing, upload and download, etc.
- Innovative use of treebanks in all areas of natural language research and applications
- Reuse of treebank annotation for non-traditional purposes and in related disciplines (cognitive science, psycholinguistics, etc.)
- Improving the use of current treebanks in linguistic and computational R&D

Oral presentations will have around 20 minutes each; demonstrations and poster presentations will be encouraged (but optional) in addition to the oral presentations, during the entire workshop in the meeting room to stimulate discussions.

Submissions cannot be more than 8 pages long and will be reviewed using the START system in the usual double-blind fashion, with at least three reviews for each submission by the members of the Programme Committee. Authors will be asked to provide details about the resources used when preparing material for the paper (see http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2012/?LRE-Map-2012) and to the Language Library, the new initiative of LREC 2012.

For submission format, please follow the same general instructions as for the main LREC conference published at http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2012/?Authors-Kit.

The submissions are now open at https://www.softconf.com/lrec2012/AdvancedTreebanking2012.
