Meeting Description:

CogALex-VI (Cognitive Aspects of the Lexicon''), workshop co-located with
COLING 2020 (12/12/2020)

***Please note that CogALex has been rescheduled from August 13 to December 12
due to the COVID-19 crisis***

Supporting us in many tasks (thinking, searching, memorizing and
communicating) words are important. Hence, one may wonder how to build tools
supporting their learning and usage (access/navigation). Alas the answer is
not quite as straightforward as it may seem. It depends on various factors:
the questioner's background (lexicography, psychology, computer science), the
task (production/reception), and the material support (hardware). Words in
books, computers and the human brain are not the same. Obviously, being aware
of this, different communities have focused on different issues --(dictionary
building; creation of navigational tools; representation and organization of
words; time course for accessing a word, etc.)-- yet, their views and
respective goals have changed considerably over time. 

This workshop is about possible enhancements of lexical resources
(representation, organization of the data, etc.). To allow for this we invite
researchers to submit their contributions. The idea is to discuss the
limitations of existing resources and to explore possible enhancements that
take into account the users' and the engineers' needs (computational aspects).

Also, given the success of the shared task on the corpus-based identification
of semantic relations (CogALex-V., 2016), we propose another edition of this
task by add inga multilingual component. Our special focus will be on
paradigmatic semantic relations, such as synonymy, antonymy and hypernymy,
which are notoriously difficult to be distinguished by the classical word
embedding models used in NLP.
