Meeting Description:

The way we look at the lexicon has changed dramatically over the last
few decades. While in the past being considered as an appendix to
grammar, the lexicon has now moved to the center stage. Indeed, there
is hardly any task in NLP that can be conducted without it. This has
provoked two consequences: every year there are a great number of new
proposals, and (b), it is harder and harder to remain up to date or to
stay on top of the wave. Hence the reason for organizing events like
this.
The goal of this workshop is to provide builders and users of lexical
resources (researchers in NLP, psychologists, computational
lexicographers) a forum to share their knowledge and needs concerning
the construction, organization, and use of a lexicon by people
(lexical access) and machines (NLP, IR, data mining).
Like in the past, we invite researchers to address unsolved problems
concerning the lexicon, by considering this time however also Large
Language Models (LLMs). More precisely, we would like to explore their
potential for building and using lexical resources as well as their
ability to deal with the cognitive aspects of the lexicon.

Like in the past, we invite researchers to address unsolved problems
concerning the lexicon, by considering this time however also Large
Language Models (LLMs). More precisely, we would like to explore their
potential for building and using lexical resources as well as their
ability to deal with the cognitive aspects of the lexicon.

We solicit contributions including, but not limited to, the topics
listed below, topics, which can be considered from any of the
following points of view:

•       traditional-, computational- or corpus linguistics,
•       neuro- or psycholinguistics (tip of the tongue problem, word
associations),
•       mathematics (vector-based approaches, graph theory,
small-world problems), etc.

2. Possible Topics

•       The potential of Large Language Models for the creation and
use of lexical resources;
•       Organization, i.e., structure of the lexicon;
•       The meaning of words and how to reveal it;
•       Analysis of the conceptual input given by a dictionary user;
•       Methods for crafting dictionaries or indexes;
•       Creation of new types of dictionaries;
•       Dictionary access (navigation and search strategies),
interface issues

3. Important dates:

•       Submission deadline: February 23, 2024
•       Date of notification: March 20, 2024
•       Camera ready deadline: March 29, 2024
•       COGALEX workshop: May 20, 2024

4. SUBMISSIONS

Two types of submissions are invited:

•       Full papers: should not exceed eight (8) pages of text, plus
unlimited references. These are intended to be reports of original
research.
•       Short papers: may consist of up to four (4) pages of content,
plus unlimited references. Appropriate short paper topics include
preliminary results, application notes, descriptions of work in
progress, etc.

Dual submission policy: papers may NOT be submitted to the workshop if
they are or will be concurrently submitted to another meeting or
publication.

Submissions must be anonymous, electronic and in PDF format. They must
be made via SOFTCONF:
https://softconf.com/lrec-coling2024/cogalex2024/.
To create your document, please follow the guidelines defined by
COLING using their style sheets
(https://lrec-coling-2024.org/authors-kit/).
