Subject: Sixth International Workshop on Computational Linguistics of Uralic

 
Full Title: Sixth International Workshop on Computational Linguistics of Uralic 
Short Title: IWCLUL2020 

Date: 10-Jan-2020 - 11-Jan-2020
Location: Wien, Austria 
Contact Person: Jeremy Bradlye
Meeting Email: jeremy.moss.bradley at univie.ac.at

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Language Family(ies): Uralic 

Call Deadline: 18-Nov-2019 

Meeting Description:

The purpose of the conference series International Workshop on Computational
Linguistics for Uralic Languages is to bring together researchers working on
computational approaches to working with these languages. We accept long and
short papers as well as tutorial proposals working on the following languages:
Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian, Võro, the Sámi languages, Komi (Zyrian,
Permyak), Mordvin (Erzya, Moksha), Mari (Hill, Meadow), Udmurt, Nenets
(Tundra, Forest), Enets, Nganasan, Selkup, Mansi, Khanty, Veps, Karelian
(Olonets), Karelian, Ingrian (Izhorian), Votic, Livonian, Ludic, and other
related languages. All Uralic languages exhibit rich morphological structure,
which makes processing them challenging for state-of-the-art computational
linguistic approaches, the majority also suffer from a lack of resources and
many are endangered. Research papers should be original, substantial and
unpublished research, that can describe work-in-progress systems, frameworks,
standards and evaluation schemes. Demos and tutorials will present systems and
standards towards the goal of interoperability and unification of different
projects, applications and research groups.


Call for Papers:

Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to):

Parsers, analysers and processing pipelines of Uralic languages
Lexical databases, electronic dictionaries
Finished end-user applications aimed at Uralic languages, such as spelling or
grammar checkers, machine translation or speech processing
Evaluation methods and gold standards, tagged corpora, treebanks
Reports on language-independent or unsupervised methods as applied to Uralic
languages
Surveys and review articles on subjects related to computational linguistics
for one or more Uralic languages
Any work that aims at combining efforts and reducing duplication of work
How to elicit activity from the language community, agitation campaigns, games
with a purpose

To maximise the possibility of reproducibility, replication and reuse, we
particularly encourage submissions which present free/open-source language
resources and make use of free/open-source software. One of the aims of this
gathering is to avoid unnecessary duplicated work in field of Uralistics by
establishing connections and interoperability standards between researchers
and research groups working at different sites. We have also identified a
serious lack of gold standards and evaluation metrics for all Uralic languages
including those with national support, any work towards better resources in
these fields will be greatly appreciated.

Important Dates:

- August 21, 2019: Call for papers announced
- November 18, 2019: Paper submission deadline
- December 6, 2019: Paper notification
- December 21, 2019: Camera-ready deadline
- December 31, 2019: Fill in the registration form
- January 10-11, 2020: Workshop held in Vienna 

Submission of Papers:

Language of submission: Submissions should be made in English or Russian with
an obligatory abstract in at least one of the Uralic Language(s).

Submission Format:

- Papers should be up to 8 pages in length excluding references.
- LaTeX submissions are preferred, but submissions using the Microsoft Word
template are possible as well. The first draft has to be submitted as a PDF
- Our templates are based on the ACL templates; author instructions can be
found on the ACL page. The LaTeX templates can be found here, the MS Word
template here.
- Citations in LaTeX submissions should be managed with bibtex.
- Linguistic glosses should follow Leipzig glossing rules; LaTeX submissions
should and use the expex package (make sure to update expex regularly as it is
developed actively).
- The preferred LaTeX version is XeLaTeX; you should use UTF-8 encoded Unicode
in your sources rather than TeX encoded characters where possible.

Submissions can be made here
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwclul2020) using the EasyChair
conference management system.
