Subject: 14th SIGMORPHON Workshop on Computational Research in Phonetics, Phonology, and Morphology

Full Title: 14th SIGMORPHON Workshop on Computational Research in Phonetics, Phonology, and Morphology 
Short Title: SIGMORPHON 

Date: 11-Aug-2016 - 11-Aug-2016
Location: Berlin, Germany 
Contact Person: Sandra Kuebler
Meeting Email: sigmorphon2016 at gmail.com

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Morphology; Phonetics; Phonology 

Call Deadline: 15-May-2016 

Meeting Description:

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in
applying computational techniques to problems in morphology, phonology, and
phonetics. Work that addresses orthographic issues is also welcome. Papers
will be on substantial, original, and unpublished research on these topics,
potentially including strong work in progress. Appropriate topics include (but
are not limited to) the following as they relate to the areas of the workshop:

- New formalisms, computational treatments, or probabilistic models of
existing linguistic formalisms 
- Unsupervised, semi-supervised or machine learning of linguistic knowledge 
- Models of psycholinguistic experiments 
- Morpheme identification and word segmentation 
- Algorithms, including finite-state methods 
- Corpus linguistics 
- Machine transliteration and back-transliteration 
- Speech technologies relating to phonetics or phonology 
- Speech science (both production and comprehension) 
- Analysis or exploitation of multilingual, multi-dialectal, or diachronic
data 
- Instructional technologies for second-language learners 
- Integration of morphology, phonology, or phonetics with other NLP tasks 
- Tools and resources 
- Approaches to orthographic variation

One of the missions of SIGMORPHON is to encourage interaction between work in
computational linguistics and work in theoretical phonetics, phonology and
morphology, and to ensure that each of these fields profits from the
interaction. Our recent meetings have been successful in this regard, and we
hope to see this continue in 2014. Many mainstream linguists studying
phonetics, phonology and morphology are employing computational tools and
models that are of considerable interest to computational linguists.
Similarly, models and tools developed by and for computational linguists may
be of interest to theoretical linguists working in these areas. This workshop
provides a forum for these researchers to interact and become exposed to each
others' ideas and research.

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!
