Meeting Description:

The Workshop on Systems and Frameworks for Computational Morphology (SFCM) brings together researchers and developers in the area of computational morphology and morphological theory used in
computational systems. The focus of SFCM are actual working systems for linguistically motivated morphological analysis and generation, computational frameworks for implementing such systems, and linguistic frameworks suitable for computational implementation. Applications of morphological systems, e.g., in natural language processing, linguistics, or digital humanities, are also relevant topics.

The fourth edition of SFCM in 2015 will bring together communities involved with the study of morphology. SFCM 2015 will focus on computational approaches to theoretical and descriptive morphology. It will broaden the workshop's scope by addressing computational linguists working on computational morphology, linguists from theoretical morphology, and field linguists working on rich morphological data using computational methods and tools. We aim to encourage discussion among researchers and developers from those communities and to contribute to filling the gap between NLP and linguistic communities around state-of-the-art approaches to morphology, be it computational, quantitative, formal, or descriptive.

Date and Location:

Location: University of Stuttgart, Germany (Please note change!)
Date: September 17­-18, 2015

SFCM is an activity of the SIG Generation and Parsing of the German Society for Computational Linguistics and Language Technology (GSCL).

2nd Call for Papers:

4th Intl Workshop on Systems and Frameworks for Computational Morphology
(SFCM 2015)

Submission deadline: April 10, 2015
See http://sfcm.eu/sfcm2015/ for the full call for papers.

Proceedings are expected to by published by Springer-Verlag (as for previous editions of SFCM).

Topics:

The topics of this workshop include technical and linguistic aspects related to the development of systems and frameworks for computational morphology, applications and evaluation of such systems and frameworks, as well as interactions between computational morphology and formal, quantitative, and descriptive morphology.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Software frameworks for developing morphological components
- Open-source systems, tools, and resources for analyzing and generating word forms
- Linguistic frameworks for computational morphology
- Implementations of formal models of morphology for individual languages and language families, including historical languages and language variants
- Use of morphological analysis and generation in NLP applications
- Use of morphological systems in linguistic research, i.e., studies that address formal morphological issues with the help of computational methods, tools, and resources
- Use of morphological systems in digital humanities research
- Approaches for handling phenomena at the interface between morphology and neighboring levels of linguistic description, such as phonetics, morphophonology, and syntax
- Methods and criteria for evaluating morphological components with respect to performance, quality, and coverage
- Software engineering aspects: APIs, robustness, performance, hardware/software requirements, resource usage
- License models, versioning, and legal aspects

SFCM 2015 includes a demo session for presenting systems and resources and in-depth discussion.
