Meeting Description:

This half-day workshop aims at exploring emerging research in the areas of
semantic change and evolving semantics.

Semantics differ across contexts, domains, communities and time. This has
implications for communication, terminology, access to and exchange of
information, problem-solving and construction of knowledge. Where there is
interaction and feedback, this effect is mitigated, as it is possible to
settle on a shared understanding; in contrast, the effect is particularly
pronounced in asynchronous and static information. This problem is shared
across many domains; some examples of areas in which the effect is
particularly pronounced include cultural heritage, data curation, digital
preservation, and knowledge management. One practical example is the need to
respond to semantic change in ontology curation and engineering; another is
the capture and treatment of context in search indexing and ranking. In this
workshop we will focus on semantic change in these domains and closely aligned
areas. As such, we expect the workshop to be of interest to researchers with
an interest in combining techniques to address evolving semantics. We are
therefore seeking expressions of interest in the workshop intended to explore
this area and to collect together a series of perspectives on the theory and
relevance of semantic change across contexts and disciplines.


Call for Papers and Posters:

Topics on which potential participants are invited to share research,
experimentation, demonstrations, concepts and ideas include, but are not
limited to:

- Semantic change and evolving semantics
- Cultural drift
- Methods for the detection, interpretation and communication of drift types
- Response to change: strategies for ontology adaptation and evolution
- Potential for the application of machine learning approaches
- Role of social media in accelerating semantic change and use of social media
data to study it.

Submission Guidelines:

All submissions must be formatted according to ACM ICPS guidelines
(http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template).

Submissions must be original and must not have been submitted for publication
elsewhere.

Papers should not exceed 8 pages in length.

Poster submissions should consist of a paper of 2 pages that describes the
work, its contribution to the field or novelty aspects. Accepted posters will
be displayed for the entire duration of the workshop and presented to the
conference participants during the coffee break.

Submissions of any type (papers, posters) will be peer-reviewed by
acknowledged researchers working on the workshop topics.

Papers will be evaluated according to their significance, originality,
technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop.

The submission must be made through EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?key=40298847.YDyd1s5BxdxON9cs)

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our 
Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the 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 Indiana University 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!
