Full Title: 5th International Workshop on Systems and Frameworks for Computational Morphology 
Short Title: SFCM 2017 

Date: 12-Sep-2017 - 12-Sep-2017
Location: Berlin, Germany 
Contact Person: Cerstin Mahlow

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Morphology 

Call Deadline: 17-Jul-2017 

Meeting Description:

The Workshop on Systems and Frameworks for Computational Morphology (SFCM)
brings together researchers and developers in the area of computational
morphology and morphological theory used in computational systems.  The focus
of SFCM are actual working systems, frameworks based on linguistic principles,
and means for providing linguistically sound analysis and/or generation tools
based on well-defined linguistic categories.

Call for Papers:

The fifth edition of SFCM will again bring together researchers involved with
computational approaches to morphology. We aim to encourage discussion among
researchers and developers from different communities and to contribute to
bridging the divide between NLP and linguistic communities around
state-of-the-art approaches to morphological analysis and generation.

We are in the process of arranging the open-access publication of the
proceedings with Language Science Press in their Morphological Investigation
series.

SFCM is co-located with GSCL 2017 (http://gscl2017.dfki.de/).

Topics

Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Software frameworks for developing morphological components
- Open-source systems, tools, and resources for analyzing and generating word
forms
- Linguistic frameworks for computational morphology
- Implementations of formal models of morphology for individual languages and
language families, including historical languages and language variants
- Use of morphological analysis and generation in NLP applications.
- Use of morphological systems in linguistic research, i.e., studies that
address formal morphological issues with the help of computational methods,
tools, and resources
- Use of morphological systems in digital humanities research
- Approaches for handling phenomena at the interface between morphology and
neighboring levels of linguistic description, such as phonetics,
morphophonology, and syntax
- Methods and criteria for evaluating morphological components with respect to
performance, quality, and coverage
- Software engineering aspects: APIs, robustness, performance,
hardware/software requirements, resource usage
- License models, versioning, and legal aspects

The workshop will also include a demo session for presenting individual
systems and resources.

Submissions:

We invite researchers to submit full papers of up to 20 pp (excl. references)
or short papers of up to 10 p. Submissions must be in English. Reviewing of
papers will be double-blind by the members of the PC, all submissions will
receive several independent reviews. Papers submitted at review stage must not
contain the authors’ names, affiliations, or any information that may disclose
their identity.

Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their research at the
workshop as talk or as a poster. Accepted papers will be published in the
proceedings of the workshop.

The papers must use the Language Science Press format. Please use the LaTeX
skeleton for papers in edited volumes, see
http://langsci-press.org/templatesAndTools for instructions and downloads.
Please strictly follow the guidelines. Papers must be submitted electronically
in PDF format. For paper submissions we use EasyChair
