Subject: Uralic Languages; Comp Ling / Acta Linguistica Hungarica (Jrnl)

 
Full Title: Acta Linguistica Hungarica 


Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Language Family(ies): Uralic 

Call Deadline: 03-Oct-2016 

Call for Papers:

We are inviting submissions for a Special Issue of Acta Linguistica Hungarica,
entitled ''Computational Linguistics for Uralic Languages''.

The special issue is related to the Second International Workshop on
Computational Linguistics for Uralic Languages (SIWCLUL). The workshop was
held in Szeged, Hungary, on 20 January 2016, aiming to bring together
researchers working on computational approaches to working with the following
languages: Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian, Voru, Setu, the Sámi languages, Komi
(Zyrian, Permyak), Mordvin (Erzya, Moksha), Mari (Hill, Meadow), Udmurt,
Nenets (Tundra, Forest), Enets (Tundra, Forest), Nganasan, Selkup, Mansi,
Khanty, Veps, Karelian, Ingrian (Izhorian), Votic, Livonian, Ludic, Kven and
other related languages. 

All Uralic languages exhibit rich morphological structure, which makes
processing them challenging for state-of-the-art computational linguistic
approaches, the majority also suffer from a lack of resources and many are
endangered.

We invite submissions of articles describing work-in-progress systems,
frameworks, standards and evaluation schemes. A natural candidate for this
call is an extended paper from the workshop presentations (either oral or
poster presentations) and tutorials. However, we do not limit the
contributions to SIWCLUL-related works. Instead, other works presenting
computational linguistics support for Uralic languages are also welcome. 

Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to):

- Parsers, analysers and processing pipelines of Uralic languages.
- Lexical databases, electronic dictionaries.
- Finished end-user applications aimed at Uralic languages, such as spelling
or grammar checkers, machine translation or speech processing.
- Evaluation methods and gold standards, tagged corpora, treebanks.
- Reports on language-independent or unsupervised methods as applied to Uralic
languages.
- Surveys and review articles on subjects related to computational linguistics
for one or more Uralic languages.
- Any work that aims at combining efforts and reducing duplication of work.
- How to elicit activity from the language community, agitation campaigns,
games with a purpose.

To maximise the possibility of reproducibility, replication and reuse, we
particularly encourage submissions which present free/open-source language
resources and make use of free/open-source software.

One of the aims of this gathering is to avoid unnecessary duplicated work in
field of Uralistics by establishing connections and interoperability standards
between researchers and research groups working at different sites. We have
also identified a serious lack of gold standards and evaluation metrics for
all Uralic languages including those with national support, any work towards
better resources in these fields will be greatly appreciated. 

Submission of works:

Linguistica Hungarica journal.

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.

Don't forget to check out Fund Drive 2016 site!

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. 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 eLinguistics 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!
