Subject: NooJ International Conference

 
Full Title: NooJ International Conference 
Short Title: NOOJ 2017 

Date: 18-May-2017 - 20-May-2017
Location: Kenitra, Morocco 
Contact Person: Samir Mbarki
Meeting Email: nooj2017 at gmail.com
Web Site: http://www.uit.ac.ma/nooj17 

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics; Language Documentation 

Call Deadline: 31-Jan-2017 

Meeting Description:

NooJ is both a corpus processing tool and a linguistic development
environment: it allows linguists to formalize several levels of linguistic
phenomena: orthography and spelling; lexicons of simple words; multiword units
and frozen expressions; inflectional, derivational and productive morphology;
local, structural syntax and transformational syntax. For each of these levels
NooJ provides linguists with one or more formal tools specifically designed to
facilitate the description of each phenomenon, as well as parsing tools
designed to be as computationally efficient as possible. This approach
distinguishes NooJ from most computational linguistic tools, which provide a
single formalism that could describe every linguistic phenomena. As a corpus
processing tool, NooJ allows users to apply sophisticated linguistic queries
to large corpora in order to build indices and concordances, annotate texts
automatically, perform statistical analyses, etc.

NooJ is freely available and linguistic modules can already be freely
downloaded for Acadian, Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese,
Croatian, French, English, German, Hebrew, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish,
Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish. A dozen other modules are under construction.

The conference intends to:

- Give NooJ users and researchers in Linguistics and in Computational
Linguistics the opportunity to meet and share their experience as developers,
researchers and teachers; 
- Present to NooJ users the latest linguistic resources and NLP applications
developed for/with NooJ, its latest functionalities, as well as its future
developments; 
- Offer researchers and graduate students two tutorials (one basic and one
advanced) to help them parse corpora and build NLP applications using NooJ. 
- Provide the occasion to present and discover the recent developments of NooJ
itself (v5).

Topics of interest:

- Linguistic resources: 
Typography, Spelling, Syllabification, Phonemic and Prosodic transcription,
Morphology, Lexical Analysis, Local Syntax, Structural Syntax,
Transformational Analysis, Paraphrase Generation,  Formal Semantic Annotations
and Analyses, Description of rare and endangered languages.        

- Corpus processing: 
Corpus Linguistics, Information extraction, Discourse Analysis, Business
Intelligence, NLP applications, Applications of NooJ in Social Sciences.
