Meeting Description:

The LiNCR (pronounced as ‘linker’) workshop aims to provide a venue to explore
a new generation of language resources which link and aggregate cognitive
behavioural, neuroimaging measurement data to a shared set of richly annotated
linguistic data. The issues will include but not limit to the ontology for
aggregation of neuro-cognitive data with linguistic facts, how to interpret
experimental data when linked to additional linguistic facts, how to design
experiments that allow same data sets to be shared by different experimental
modality, how to link and normalize data from subjects with special cognitive
conditions to the norms, how to link and aggregate multilingual data, and the
stochastic solutions for data aggregation and learning. In addition to
providing a forum for presenting existing LiNCRs as well as innovative
research based on integrated heterogeious datasets, we also welcome project
notes and discussions on our proposal that may address issues and challenges
arising from new types of LiNCRs. The workshop will also include breakout
forums for initial discussion to form consortia for future collaboration.

Language resources to-date can be described as collections of snapshots of
language production. They are in vitro and ready to be tested but do not
contain any direct information on the cognitive processes that produced them.
That is, the in vivo perspectives of language are missing from them. On the
other hand, studies on the neurobiological basis of language processing made
significant progresses based on collected neurological, neuroimaging and
behavioral datasets. But these experimental data typically focus on strictly
controlled stimuli annotated with a single linguistic feature. Hence, the
potential of linking richly annotated linguistic facts with experimental data
has yet to be realised. The LiNCR workshop aims to bring together experts from
computational, corpus, and neuro-cognitive linguistics to bridge this. We hope
not only to herald in a new generation of language resources but also to open
a new inter-disciplinary frontier in the exploration of human cognition based
on LiNCRs.


Call for Papers:

We welcome contributions which address any of the aspects of a new generation
of language resources that link and aggregate neurological behavioral
measurement data to a shared set of richly annotated linguistic data. Multiple
contributions are welcomed, but please note that you can only be first author
for one contribution.
