Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Historical Linguistics; Ling & Literature; Text/Corpus Linguistics
Call Deadline: 08-Oct-2017
Meeting Description:
CRH wants to be a meeting place for both scholars from Computational
Linguistics and from the Humanities (especially, Digital Humanities). Although
the two research areas share a number of common topics, there is still limited
collaboration between the two communities. Since the empirical evidence
provided by corpora plays a central role in both disciplines, we believe that
a workshop focussed on the different uses of (different kinds of) corpus data
in the Humanities might represent a valid opportunity to make the two
communities meet, discuss and compare their interests, methods and aims.
Invited Speakers:
- Tara L. Andrews, University of Wien, Austria
(http://www.univie.ac.at/Geschichte/htdocs2/site/arti.php/91079)
- James Pustejovsky, Brandeis University, MA, USA (http://jamespusto.com/)
Call for Papers:
The Workshop on ''Corpus-based Research in the Humanities'' (CRH) brings
together those areas of Computational Linguistics and the Humanities that
share an interest in the building, managing and analysis of text corpora. The
edition of this year has a specific focus on time and space annotation in
textual data, backed by a keynote speaker with special interest in this aspect
of corpus management.
Submissions of long abstracts for oral presentations and posters (with or
without demonstrations) featuring high quality and previously unpublished
research are invited on the following topics:
- Specific issues related to the annotation of corpora for research in the
Humanities (annotation schemes and principles), with special interest in space
and time annotations
- Corpora as a basis for research in the Humanities
- Diachronic, historical and literary corpora
- Use of corpora for stylometrics and authorship attribution
- Philological issues, like different readings, textual variants, apparatus,
non-standard orthography and spelling variation
- Adaptation of NLP tools for older language varieties
- Integration of corpora for the Humanities into language resources
infrastructures
- Tools for building and accessing corpora for the Humanities
- Examples of fruitful collaboration between Computational Linguistics and
Humanities in building and exploiting corpora
- Theoretical aspects of the use of empirical evidence provided by corpora in
the Humanities
This year, CRH will have a special topic concerning time and space annotation
in textual data. Submissions with this focus are especially encouraged.
The proceedings will be published in time for the workshop. They will be
co-edited by Andrew Frank, Christine Ivanovic, Francesco Mambrini, Marco
Passarotti and Caroline Sporleder.
Instructions for Submission:
We invite to submit long abstracts describing original, unpublished research
related to the topics of the workshop as PDF. Abstracts should not exceed 6
pages (references included) and written in English.
Submissions have to be made via the EasyChair page of the workshop at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=crh2 (requires prior registration with
EasyChair).
The style guidelines can be found here:
http://www.oeaw.ac.at/forschung-institute/biblio/academiae-corpora/ac/crh2/aut
hors-kit/.
Reviewing will be double-blind; therefore, the abstract should not include the
authors' names and affiliations or any references to web-sites, project names
etc. revealing the authors' identity. Furthermore, any self-reference should
be avoided. For instance, instead of ''We previously showed (Brown,
2001)...'', use citations such as ''Brown previously showed (Brown,
2001)...''. Each submitted abstract will be reviewed by three members of the
program committee.
Submitted abstracts can be for oral or poster presentations (possibly with
demo). There is no difference between the different kinds of presentation both
in terms of reviewing process and publication in the proceedings (the limit of
6 pages holds for both abstracts intended for oral and poster presentations).
The authors of the accepted abstracts will be required to submit the full
version of their paper, which may be extended up to 10 pages (references
included).
