From thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR Mon Jul 1 08:36:31 2002 From: thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Mon, 1 Jul 2002 10:36:31 +0200 Subject: Conf: Colloque, Origine et evolution des langues, 26-27 Septembre 2002 Message-ID: Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2002 11:26:56 +0200 From: "Bernard Laks" Message-Id: Colloque international Origine et évolution des langues : approches, modèles, paradigmes Amphithéâtre Marguerite de Navarre Collège de France, Paris 26-27 septembre 2002 Comité scientifique Alain Berthoz (Collège de France), Serge Cleuziou (CNRS), Jean-Paul Demoule (Paris I), Pierre Encrevé (EHESS), Jean-Marie Hombert (Lyon II), Jean-Jacques Hublin (Bordeaux I), Bernard Laks (Paris X), Alain Peyraube (CNRS), Bernard Victorri (CNRS). Comité d'organisation Serge Cleuziou (CNRS), Bernard Laks (Paris X) Organisé avec le soutien : Université Paris I, Paris X, EHESS, CNRS (Programme Origine de l'Homme, Origine des langues), Réseau Sciences Cognitives d'Ile de France, Collège de France (Chaire du Prof. A. Berthoz), Maison de l'Archéologie et de l'Ethnonologie, Ministère de la Recherche, Ministère des Affaires Etrangères, Musée des Arts Premiers, Délégation Générale à la langue française et aux langues de France. Présentation Les recherches sur les origines de l'homme ont été spectaculairement relancées depuis une dizaine d'années par les travaux d'équipes de généticiens, de linguistes, d'anthropologues et d'archéologues, qui ont abouti à la proposition d'un nouveau modèle d'ensemble. Selon ce modèle, parfois qualifié de "Nouvelle Synthèse", l'homme moderne, à l'issue d'un "goulot d'étranglement" biologique, serait apparu entre 200.000 et 100.000 ans avant notre ère, sans doute en Afrique orientale, à partir d'évolutions locales de l'Homo erectus. Au nombre de quelques milliers, les individus composant ce type humain, aux performances psychomotrices identiques aux nôtres, se seraient ensuite répandus dans l'ensemble de l'Ancien, puis du Nouveau Monde, dispersant ainsi leurs gènes, mais aussi leurs langues. Avec leurs méthodes propres, et à partir des langues et des gènes actuels, certains courants de la génétique des populations et de la linguistique typologique sont ainsi parvenus à proposer une reconstitution des arbres généalogiques respectifs des langues et des gènes de l'ensemble de l'humanité, tandis qu'un certain nombre d'archéologues proposaient de corréler ces arbres avec des migrations préhistoriques attestées, notamment lors de la diffusion de l'agriculture au cours du néolithique. Si cette nouvelle synthèse occupe aujourd'hui le devant de la scène épistémologique, on ne saurait oublier que les questions liées à l'origine et l'évolution de l'homme et des langues ont suscité au cours de l'histoire scientifique récente un grand nombre d'hypothèses, de modèles et de paradigmes variés, depuis les modèles de la linguistique aréale jusqu'aux modèles de mélange de langues en passant par les modèles de diffusion ondulatoire. Sur le terrain plus proprement anthropologique, la mise à l'épreuve du modèle unicentriste et monogénétique n'a pas été sans susciter débats et contre arguments. La réflexion sur l'origine et l'évolution des langues humaines dans un cadre darwinien reste problématique. - Sur le terrain archéologique, les reconstructions proposées ne sont pas toutes compatibles avec les modèles de diffusion des techniques, des mythes ou des cultures. - Sur le terrain linguistique enfin, dès que la question de l'origine et de l'évolution de l'homme et des langues est reposée dans ses dimensions évolutives, cognitives, sociales et culturelles, d'apprentissage et de transmission générationnelle, l'ensemble des théories linguistiques à vocation universaliste (programme chomskyen, linguistique cognitive, programme optimaliste etc.) comme la plupart des théories du changement et de la variation (linguistique variationniste, programme monogénétiste etc.) se trouvent convoquées et de nombreuses contre-propositions peuvent être évoquées. L'objectif de ce colloque international est de confronter, sur chacun de ces terrains scientifiques, les différentes hypothèses et les différents modèles proposés pour rendre compte de l'origine et de l'évolution des langues. La présence conjointe de linguistes, d'anthropologues, d'archéologues, de généticiens et de spécialistes des sciences cognitives de renommée internationale devrait permettre d'aborder ce débat dans toute son ampleur et de rendre compte de la diversité des positions défendues, tout en montrant l'existence de nombreuses convergences disciplinaires et interdisciplinaires.

Nous avons toutefois mis au point une classification des mesures de qualité pour la TA, dans laquelle il faut choisir des mesures en fonction des besoins : http://www.issco.unige.ch/projects/isle/taxonomy2/ Nous avons également organisé des ateliers de travail sur ce sujet, qui montrent comment on met en place un protocole d'évaluation. Le plus récent fait intervenir des métriques humaines et automatiques: http://www.issco.unige.ch/projects/isle/mteval-may02/ mais je vous conseille de regarder aussi les travaux d'un atelier antérieur : http://www.issco.unige.ch/projects/isle/mteval-april01/ J'espère que l'étude de ces documents vous permettra de mettre en place un ensemble de tests qui reflètent les qualités que vous cherchez à capturer.

Papers Papers are invited on substantial, original, and unpublished research on all aspects of computational linguistics, including, but not limited to: pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax and the lexicon; phonetics, phonology and morphology; interpreting and generating spoken and written language; linguistic, mathematical and psychological models of language; language-oriented information retrieval, question answering, summarization and information extraction; language-oriented machine learning; corpus-based language modeling; multi-lingual processing, machine translation and translation aids; natural language interfaces and dialogue systems; approaches to coordinating the linguistic with other modalities in multi-media systems; message and narrative understanding systems; tools and resources; evaluation of systems and evaluation methodology Papers on tools and resources for less-studied European and African/Mediterranean languages are particularly encouraged. Requirements Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation results should be included. A paper accepted for presentation at the EACL Meeting cannot be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences or workshops must indicate this on the title page, as must papers that contain significant overlap with previously published work. Reviewing The reviewing of the papers will be blind. Reviewing will be managed by an international Conference Program Committee consisting of Area Chairs (to be announced). Each submission will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. Final decisions on the technical program will be made by the Conference Program Committee. Submission Information Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and should not exceed eight (8) pages, including references. We strongly recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word Style files available via the conference website, http://www.conferences.hu/EACL03. A description of the format will also be available in case you are unable to use these style files directly. As reviewing will be blind, the paper should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Papers that do not conform to the requirements above are subject to be rejected without review. Submission Procedure You must submit a notification of submission by filling out intention-to-submit form at a designated website. All papers must be submitted electronically in PostScript format. Further details of the submission procedure will be available on the conference website. Deadlines Paper registration deadline: November 10, 2002 Paper submissions deadline: November 15, 2002 Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2003 Camera ready papers due: February 15, 2003 EACL-03 Conference: April 12-17, 2003 2. Research Note and Demo Sessions The EACL-03 meeting will include Research Note Sessions and Demo Sessions. RESEARCH NOTES should present work in progress, project status reports, unevaluated results or system summaries (with or without demos). In the programme of the conference there will be sessions reserved for Research Notes. Presentations of Research Notes will be shorter than regular papers' ones. Each Research Note will be allocated 4 pages in the conference proceedings. We also encourage the submission of SOFTWARE DEMOS related to any areas of computational linguistics. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Natural language processing systems, including o Dialog systems and interfaces o Machine translation systems and translation aids o Message and narrative understanding systems. o Language-oriented information retrieval and information extraction systems * Application systems using embedded language technology components * Reusable components (speech recognizers, parsers, generators, ...) * Software tools for facilitating computational linguistics research * Software for demonstrating or evaluating computational linguistics research * Aids for teaching computational linguistics concepts Demos of tools for less-studied European and African/Mediterranean languages are particularly encouraged. Developers should outline the design of their system and provide sufficient details to allow the evaluation of its validity, quality, and relevance to computational linguistics. Pointers to web sites running the demo preview will also be helpful. Research notes and demo submissions will be reviewed by an international panel. Format for Submission Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and should not exceed four (4) pages, including references. We strongly recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word Style files available via the conference website, http://www.conferences.hu/EACL03. A description of the format will also be available in case you are unable to use these style files directly. Submission Procedure You must submit a notification of submission by filling out intention-to-submit form at a designated website. All papers must be submitted electronically in PostScript format. Further details of the submission procedure will be available on the conference website. Demo submissions should also clearly indicate if any computer equipment is expected to be provided by the local organizer.

EACL-03 will take place in Budapest, Hungary, April 12-17, 2003 with workshops being held on Sunday and Monday, April 13 and 14, 2003. *Workshop topics EACL-03 workshops provide organizers and participants with an opportunity to focus intensively on a specific topic within computational linguistics. Often, workshops concentrate on specific topics of technical interest (e.g., parsing technologies), particular areas of application for language processing technologies (e.g., NLP applied to IR), or community-wide issues that deserve attention (e.g., standardization of resources and tools). We welcome proposals on any topic that is of interest to the EACL community, but we particularly encourage proposals that broaden the scope of our community through the consideration of new or interdisciplinary techniques or applications. We also encourage topics that are specific to the EACL community such as resources and tools for European or Mediterranean languages. *Workshop format Traditionally, workshops are shaped as mini-conferences, but we encourage proposers to consider other formats that exploit the fact that smaller settings allow for more interaction between participants (discussions, panels, working sessions). The default duration of a workshop is one day, but longer or shorter durations can be proposed (but should be justified). Please note that capacity limitations may cause us to request the organizers to shorten a workshop or to merge it with another workshop in a related area. *Financial guidelines The workshop organisers will benefit from the standard logistic facilities provided for the conference e.g., room, equipment, coffee, proceedings. Any additional cost should be covered by the organisers (especially invited speakers, PC meetings etc.). *Registration fees Participants pay a registration fee which is dependent on the duration of the workshop. Participants not registered for the main conference, pay a higher fee. *Proposals Workshop proposals should provide sufficient information to evaluate the quality and importance of the topic, and the size of the interested community. Proposals should be 2-4 pages and contain the following information: - A title and brief description of the workshop topic. - The target audience and projected number of participants along with support for the projected count. Supporting evidence could include a list of potential submitters, a list of conferences that contained papers on the proposed topic, the number of new companies focused on this topic, or recent funding initiatives that address this topic. - Resource needs such as room size and number of days. Include any special requirements for technical support (computer infrastructure, etc.). - The name, postal address, phone number, e-mail address, and webpage of each chair. In addition, indicate the chairs' background in the workshop area. - A preliminary programme committee Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII text, as soon as possible but no later than OCTOBER 1, 2002. The subject line should be: "EACL-03 WORKSHOP PROPOSAL". Please e-mail proposals and any inquiries to the Workshop Chair, Steven Krauwer (steven.krauwer at let.uu.nl) *Timetable of Important Dates: Workshop proposals due: Oct. 1, 2002 Notification of acceptance: Oct. 7, 2002 Deadline for receipt of workshop Call for Papers and other publicity material: Oct. 21, 2002 Send out Call for Papers: Nov. 1, 2002 Suggested deadline for workshop paper submissions: Jan. 1, 2003 Suggested deadline for notification of workshop paper acceptance: Jan. 21, 2003 Suggested deadline for camera-ready workshop papers: Feb. 13, 2003 Workshop Dates: Apr. 13-14, 2003 *Additional Information For additional information, see the web site for the conference: http://www.conferences.hu/EACL03 which will provide additional details as they become available. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffus� par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN-F/ English version : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN/ Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html La liste LN est parrain�e par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adh�sion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR Fri Jul 19 08:54:34 2002 From: thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2002 10:54:34 +0200 Subject: Appel: EACL-03, Student Research Workshop Message-ID: From: Jon Herring Message-Id: <3D2F0070.23D73386 at itri.brighton.ac.uk> X-url: http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/conf/eacl03-student/ X-url: http://www.conferences.hu/eacl03 Call for Papers Student Research Workshop during EACL-03 11th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, Budapest, Hungary April 12-17 2003 This information can also be found at http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/conf/eacl03-student/ submission deadline: November 15th 2002 Note: The exact dates of the Workshop have not been firmly established yet. It is expected that the session will be part of the main conference, April 15-17 2003 1. General Invitation for Submissions The Student Research Workshop is an established tradition at EACL conferences. The main purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for student researchers who are investigating various areas related to Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. Participants will have the opportunity to get feedback both from a wide audience in general and from selected panellists, experienced researchers who prepare in-depth comments and questions in advance of the presentation. In order to widen participation, we hope to make funding and very reasonably priced accommodation available for attending the conference. More details will be posted on the Student Research Workshop website. We would like to invite student researchers to submit their work to the workshop. As the main mission of the workshop is to provide feedback, the emphasis will be on work in progress. Original and unpublished research is invited on all aspects of computational linguistics, including, but not limited to these topic areas: * pragmatics * discourse * semantics * syntax * lexicon * phonetics and phonology * morphology * linguistic, mathematical and psychological models of language * information retrieval * information extraction * question answering * summarization * generation * speech recognition and synthesis * corpus-based language modelling * multi-lingual processing * machine translation and translation aids * spoken and written natural language interfaces, dialogue systems * language in multi-modal systems * message and narrative understanding systems Papers reporting research on less-studied European and African/Mediterranean languages are particularly encouraged. The main conference will also feature tutorials, workshops and research notes. Further information on these will be made available on the Main Conference website, http://www.conferences.hu/eacl03 2. Submission Requirements Papers should describe original work, either in progress or completed. It will therefore normally be open only to students who have settled on their thesis direction but who still have significant research left to do; those students in the final stages of their thesis should be submitting instead to the main conference. Papers should clearly indicate directions for future research wherever appropriate. The papers can have more than one author; however, all authors MUST be students. A paper accepted for presentation at the Student Workshop cannot be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences must indicate this immediately after the title material on the first page. A student who has already presented at an ACL/EACL/NAACL student session will not be allowed to present again at the student session of any of these conferences, but encouraged to submit instead to the main conference. Please note that a letter from your supervisor will be required to confirm that you meet these criteria. 3. Submission Procedure Submissions should follow the two-column format of EACL/ACL proceedings and should not exceed eight (8) pages, including references. We strongly recommend the use of EACL latex style files or Microsoft Word Style files tailored for this year's conference. Full details on formatting and submission (including the supervisor's letter mentioned in 2 above) will soon be available from the web pages of the workshop. Electronic submissions are strongly preferred. Papers should be sent by email in PostScript and PDF format to the following address: students at eacl.org 4. Reviewing Procedure Reviewing of papers submitted to the Student Workshop will be managed by the Student Workshop Co-Chairs, with the assistance of a team of reviewers. Each submission will be matched with a mixed panel of student and senior researchers for review. The final acceptance decision will be made based on the results of the review. Note that reviewing of papers will be blind; therefore, please, make sure you do not put the author(s) name(s) on the title page. You should not have any self-identifying references anywhere in the paper submitted for review. For example, you can't have a reference like this "We showed previously (Smith, 1991), ..." Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991)..." 5. Schedule Submissions must be received by Friday November 15th, 2002. Late submissions (those arriving on or after November 16th, 2002) will be automatically disqualified. The student workshop committee is not responsible for postal delays or other mailing problems. For electronic submissions, all time zones will be taken into account). Acknowledgement will be emailed soon after receipt. Notification of acceptance will be sent to authors (by email) on January 15th, 2003. Detailed formatting guidelines for the preparation of the final camera-ready copy will be provided to authors with their acceptance notice. 6. Timetable Important dates: Paper submissions deadline: November 15th, 2002 Notification of acceptance: January 15th, 2003 Camera ready papers due: February 15th, 2003 EACL conference April 12th-17th, 2003 7.

CONFERENCE THEME: From Research to Real Users Ever since the showdown between Empiricists and Rationalists a decade ago at TMI-92, MT researchers have hotly pursued promising paradigms for MT, including data-driven approaches (e.g., statistical, example-based) and hybrids that integrate these with more traditional rule-based components. During the same period, commercial MT systems with standard transfer architectures have evolved along a parallel and almost unrelated track, increasing their coverage (primarily through manual update of their lexicons, we assume) and achieving much broader acceptance and usage, principally through the medium of the Internet. Web page translators have become commonplace; a number of online translation services have appeared, including in their offerings both raw and post-edited MT; and large corporations have been turning increasingly to MT to address the exigencies of global communication. Still, the output of the transfer-based systems employed in this expansion represents but a small drop in the ever-growing translation marketplace bucket. Now, 10 years later, we wonder if this mounting variety of MT users is any better off, and if the promise of the research technologies is being realized to any measurable degree. In this regard, we pose the following questions: Why aren't any current commercially available MT systems primarily data-driven? Do any commercially available systems integrate (or plan to integrate) data-driven components? Do data-driven systems have significant performance or quality issues? Can such systems really provide better quality to users, or is their main advantage one of fast, facilitated customization? If any new MT technology could provide such benefits (somewhat higher quality, or facilitated customization), would that be the key to more widespread use of MT, or are there yet other more relevant unresolved issues, such as system integration? If better quality, customization, or system integration aren't the answer, then what is it that users really need from MT in order for it to be more useful to them? INVITED SPEAKERS We are pleased to announce that invited speakers for the conference will include Yorick Wilks and Ken Church, both notable participants at TMI-92, and Jaap van der Meer, former CEO of ALPNET. We anticipate that the speakers will provide a sharp and stimulating focus on the theme of the conference. CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS Elliott Macklovitch, General Chair Stephen D.

Pr?sentation Les recherches sur les origines de l'homme ont ?t? spectaculairement relanc?es depuis une dizaine d'ann?es par les travaux d'?quipes de g?n?ticiens, de linguistes, d'anthropologues et d'arch?ologues, qui ont abouti ? la proposition d'un nouveau mod?le d'ensemble. Selon ce mod?le, parfois qualifi? de "Nouvelle Synth?se", l'homme moderne, ? l'issue d'un "goulot d'?tranglement" biologique, serait apparu entre 200.000 et 100.000 ans avant notre ?re, sans doute en Afrique orientale, ? partir d'?volutions locales de l'Homo erectus. Au nombre de quelques milliers, les individus composant ce type humain, aux performances psychomotrices identiques aux n?tres, se seraient ensuite r?pandus dans l'ensemble de l'Ancien, puis du Nouveau Monde, dispersant ainsi leurs g?nes, mais aussi leurs langues. Avec leurs m?thodes propres, et ? partir des langues et des g?nes actuels, certains courants de la g?n?tique des populations et de la linguistique typologique sont ainsi parvenus ? proposer une reconstitution des arbres g?n?alogiques respectifs des langues et des g?nes de l'ensemble de l'humanit?, tandis qu'un certain nombre d'arch?ologues proposaient de corr?ler ces arbres avec des migrations pr?historiques attest?es, notamment lors de la diffusion de l'agriculture au cours du n?olithique. Si cette nouvelle synth?se occupe aujourd'hui le devant de la sc?ne ?pist?mologique, on ne saurait oublier que les questions li?es ? l'origine et l'?volution de l'homme et des langues ont suscit? au cours de l'histoire scientifique r?cente un grand nombre d'hypoth?ses, de mod?les et de paradigmes vari?s, depuis les mod?les de la linguistique ar?ale jusqu'aux mod?les de m?lange de langues en passant par les mod?les de diffusion ondulatoire. Sur le terrain plus proprement anthropologique, la mise ? l'?preuve du mod?le unicentriste et monog?n?tique n'a pas ?t? sans susciter d?bats et contre arguments. La r?flexion sur l'origine et l'?volution des langues humaines dans un cadre darwinien reste probl?matique. - Sur le terrain arch?ologique, les reconstructions propos?es ne sont pas toutes compatibles avec les mod?les de diffusion des techniques, des mythes ou des cultures. - Sur le terrain linguistique enfin, d?s que la question de l'origine et de l'?volution de l'homme et des langues est repos?e dans ses dimensions ?volutives, cognitives, sociales et culturelles, d'apprentissage et de transmission g?n?rationnelle, l'ensemble des th?ories linguistiques ? vocation universaliste (programme chomskyen, linguistique cognitive, programme optimaliste etc.) comme la plupart des th?ories du changement et de la variation (linguistique variationniste, programme monog?n?tiste etc.) se trouvent convoqu?es et de nombreuses contre-propositions peuvent ?tre ?voqu?es. L'objectif de ce colloque international est de confronter, sur chacun de ces terrains scientifiques, les diff?rentes hypoth?ses et les diff?rents mod?les propos?s pour rendre compte de l'origine et de l'?volution des langues. La pr?sence conjointe de linguistes, d'anthropologues, d'arch?ologues, de g?n?ticiens et de sp?cialistes des sciences cognitives de renomm?e internationale devrait permettre d'aborder ce d?bat dans toute son ampleur et de rendre compte de la diversit? des positions d?fendues, tout en montrant l'existence de nombreuses convergences disciplinaires et interdisciplinaires.

Papers Papers are invited on substantial, original, and unpublished research on all aspects of computational linguistics, including, but not limited to: pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax and the lexicon; phonetics, phonology and morphology; interpreting and generating spoken and written language; linguistic, mathematical and psychological models of language; language-oriented information retrieval, question answering, summarization and information extraction; language-oriented machine learning; corpus-based language modeling; multi-lingual processing, machine translation and translation aids; natural language interfaces and dialogue systems; approaches to coordinating the linguistic with other modalities in multi-media systems; message and narrative understanding systems; tools and resources; evaluation of systems and evaluation methodology Papers on tools and resources for less-studied European and African/Mediterranean languages are particularly encouraged. Requirements Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation results should be included. A paper accepted for presentation at the EACL Meeting cannot be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences or workshops must indicate this on the title page, as must papers that contain significant overlap with previously published work. Reviewing The reviewing of the papers will be blind. Reviewing will be managed by an international Conference Program Committee consisting of Area Chairs (to be announced). Each submission will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. Final decisions on the technical program will be made by the Conference Program Committee. Submission Information Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and should not exceed eight (8) pages, including references. We strongly recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word Style files available via the conference website, http://www.conferences.hu/EACL03. A description of the format will also be available in case you are unable to use these style files directly. As reviewing will be blind, the paper should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Papers that do not conform to the requirements above are subject to be rejected without review. Submission Procedure You must submit a notification of submission by filling out intention-to-submit form at a designated website. All papers must be submitted electronically in PostScript format. Further details of the submission procedure will be available on the conference website. Deadlines Paper registration deadline: November 10, 2002 Paper submissions deadline: November 15, 2002 Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2003 Camera ready papers due: February 15, 2003 EACL-03 Conference: April 12-17, 2003 2. Research Note and Demo Sessions The EACL-03 meeting will include Research Note Sessions and Demo Sessions. RESEARCH NOTES should present work in progress, project status reports, unevaluated results or system summaries (with or without demos). In the programme of the conference there will be sessions reserved for Research Notes. Presentations of Research Notes will be shorter than regular papers' ones. Each Research Note will be allocated 4 pages in the conference proceedings. We also encourage the submission of SOFTWARE DEMOS related to any areas of computational linguistics. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Natural language processing systems, including o Dialog systems and interfaces o Machine translation systems and translation aids o Message and narrative understanding systems. o Language-oriented information retrieval and information extraction systems * Application systems using embedded language technology components * Reusable components (speech recognizers, parsers, generators, ...) * Software tools for facilitating computational linguistics research * Software for demonstrating or evaluating computational linguistics research * Aids for teaching computational linguistics concepts Demos of tools for less-studied European and African/Mediterranean languages are particularly encouraged. Developers should outline the design of their system and provide sufficient details to allow the evaluation of its validity, quality, and relevance to computational linguistics. Pointers to web sites running the demo preview will also be helpful. Research notes and demo submissions will be reviewed by an international panel. Format for Submission Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and should not exceed four (4) pages, including references. We strongly recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word Style files available via the conference website, http://www.conferences.hu/EACL03. A description of the format will also be available in case you are unable to use these style files directly. Submission Procedure You must submit a notification of submission by filling out intention-to-submit form at a designated website. All papers must be submitted electronically in PostScript format. Further details of the submission procedure will be available on the conference website. Demo submissions should also clearly indicate if any computer equipment is expected to be provided by the local organizer. If so, please specify desired hardware platform, hard disk and memory capacity, operating system and other software needed in order to run the demo. Also mention name and contact information of systems operations specialist. If you are bringing your own laptop, you should instead request a video projector if you need one, providing details about PC type, screen resolution, etc. Deadlines Research Note registration deadline: December 1, 2002 Research Note submissions deadline: December 6, 2002 Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2003 Camera ready papers due: February 15, 2003 EACL-03 Conference: April 12-17, 2003 3 Other CFPs and Additional Information Separate CFPs have been issued for Workshop Proposals and the EACL Student Workshop For additional information, see the web site for the conference: http://www.conferences.hu/EACL03 which will provide additional details as they become available. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffus? par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN-F/ English version : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN/ Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html La liste LN est parrain?e par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adh?sion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR Fri Jul 19 08:54:30 2002 From: thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2002 10:54:30 +0200 Subject: Appel: EACL-03, Workshop Proposals Message-ID: From: Steven Krauwer Message-Id: <200207101502.g6AF2m003963 at sfinx.let.uu.nl> X-url: http://www.conferences.hu/EACL03 EACL-03 Call for Workshop Proposals Proposal submission deadline: October 1, 2002 The EACL-03 Organizing Committee invites proposals for workshops to be held at EACL-03. EACL-03 will take place in Budapest, Hungary, April 12-17, 2003 with workshops being held on Sunday and Monday, April 13 and 14, 2003. *Workshop topics EACL-03 workshops provide organizers and participants with an opportunity to focus intensively on a specific topic within computational linguistics. Often, workshops concentrate on specific topics of technical interest (e.g., parsing technologies), particular areas of application for language processing technologies (e.g., NLP applied to IR), or community-wide issues that deserve attention (e.g., standardization of resources and tools). We welcome proposals on any topic that is of interest to the EACL community, but we particularly encourage proposals that broaden the scope of our community through the consideration of new or interdisciplinary techniques or applications. We also encourage topics that are specific to the EACL community such as resources and tools for European or Mediterranean languages. *Workshop format Traditionally, workshops are shaped as mini-conferences, but we encourage proposers to consider other formats that exploit the fact that smaller settings allow for more interaction between participants (discussions, panels, working sessions). The default duration of a workshop is one day, but longer or shorter durations can be proposed (but should be justified). Please note that capacity limitations may cause us to request the organizers to shorten a workshop or to merge it with another workshop in a related area. *Financial guidelines The workshop organisers will benefit from the standard logistic facilities provided for the conference e.g., room, equipment, coffee, proceedings. Any additional cost should be covered by the organisers (especially invited speakers, PC meetings etc.). *Registration fees Participants pay a registration fee which is dependent on the duration of the workshop. Participants not registered for the main conference, pay a higher fee. *Proposals Workshop proposals should provide sufficient information to evaluate the quality and importance of the topic, and the size of the interested community. Proposals should be 2-4 pages and contain the following information: - A title and brief description of the workshop topic. - The target audience and projected number of participants along with support for the projected count. Supporting evidence could include a list of potential submitters, a list of conferences that contained papers on the proposed topic, the number of new companies focused on this topic, or recent funding initiatives that address this topic. - Resource needs such as room size and number of days. Include any special requirements for technical support (computer infrastructure, etc.). - The name, postal address, phone number, e-mail address, and webpage of each chair. In addition, indicate the chairs' background in the workshop area. - A preliminary programme committee Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII text, as soon as possible but no later than OCTOBER 1, 2002. The subject line should be: "EACL-03 WORKSHOP PROPOSAL". Please e-mail proposals and any inquiries to the Workshop Chair, Steven Krauwer (steven.krauwer at let.uu.nl) *Timetable of Important Dates: Workshop proposals due: Oct. 1, 2002 Notification of acceptance: Oct. 7, 2002 Deadline for receipt of workshop Call for Papers and other publicity material: Oct. 21, 2002 Send out Call for Papers: Nov. 1, 2002 Suggested deadline for workshop paper submissions: Jan. 1, 2003 Suggested deadline for notification of workshop paper acceptance: Jan. 21, 2003 Suggested deadline for camera-ready workshop papers: Feb. 13, 2003 Workshop Dates: Apr. 13-14, 2003 *Additional Information For additional information, see the web site for the conference: http://www.conferences.hu/EACL03 which will provide additional details as they become available. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffus? par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN-F/ English version : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN/ Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html La liste LN est parrain?e par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adh?sion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR Fri Jul 19 08:54:34 2002 From: thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2002 10:54:34 +0200 Subject: Appel: EACL-03, Student Research Workshop Message-ID: From: Jon Herring Message-Id: <3D2F0070.23D73386 at itri.brighton.ac.uk> X-url: http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/conf/eacl03-student/ X-url: http://www.conferences.hu/eacl03 Call for Papers Student Research Workshop during EACL-03 11th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, Budapest, Hungary April 12-17 2003 This information can also be found at http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/conf/eacl03-student/ submission deadline: November 15th 2002 Note: The exact dates of the Workshop have not been firmly established yet. It is expected that the session will be part of the main conference, April 15-17 2003 1. General Invitation for Submissions The Student Research Workshop is an established tradition at EACL conferences. The main purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for student researchers who are investigating various areas related to Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. Participants will have the opportunity to get feedback both from a wide audience in general and from selected panellists, experienced researchers who prepare in-depth comments and questions in advance of the presentation. In order to widen participation, we hope to make funding and very reasonably priced accommodation available for attending the conference. More details will be posted on the Student Research Workshop website. We would like to invite student researchers to submit their work to the workshop. As the main mission of the workshop is to provide feedback, the emphasis will be on work in progress. Original and unpublished research is invited on all aspects of computational linguistics, including, but not limited to these topic areas: * pragmatics * discourse * semantics * syntax * lexicon * phonetics and phonology * morphology * linguistic, mathematical and psychological models of language * information retrieval * information extraction * question answering * summarization * generation * speech recognition and synthesis * corpus-based language modelling * multi-lingual processing * machine translation and translation aids * spoken and written natural language interfaces, dialogue systems * language in multi-modal systems * message and narrative understanding systems Papers reporting research on less-studied European and African/Mediterranean languages are particularly encouraged. The main conference will also feature tutorials, workshops and research notes. Further information on these will be made available on the Main Conference website, http://www.conferences.hu/eacl03 2. Submission Requirements Papers should describe original work, either in progress or completed. It will therefore normally be open only to students who have settled on their thesis direction but who still have significant research left to do; those students in the final stages of their thesis should be submitting instead to the main conference. Papers should clearly indicate directions for future research wherever appropriate. The papers can have more than one author; however, all authors MUST be students. A paper accepted for presentation at the Student Workshop cannot be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences must indicate this immediately after the title material on the first page. A student who has already presented at an ACL/EACL/NAACL student session will not be allowed to present again at the student session of any of these conferences, but encouraged to submit instead to the main conference. Please note that a letter from your supervisor will be required to confirm that you meet these criteria. 3. Submission Procedure Submissions should follow the two-column format of EACL/ACL proceedings and should not exceed eight (8) pages, including references. We strongly recommend the use of EACL latex style files or Microsoft Word Style files tailored for this year's conference. Full details on formatting and submission (including the supervisor's letter mentioned in 2 above) will soon be available from the web pages of the workshop. Electronic submissions are strongly preferred. Papers should be sent by email in PostScript and PDF format to the following address: students at eacl.org 4. Reviewing Procedure Reviewing of papers submitted to the Student Workshop will be managed by the Student Workshop Co-Chairs, with the assistance of a team of reviewers. Each submission will be matched with a mixed panel of student and senior researchers for review. The final acceptance decision will be made based on the results of the review. Note that reviewing of papers will be blind; therefore, please, make sure you do not put the author(s) name(s) on the title page. You should not have any self-identifying references anywhere in the paper submitted for review. For example, you can't have a reference like this "We showed previously (Smith, 1991), ..." Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991)..." 5. Schedule Submissions must be received by Friday November 15th, 2002. Late submissions (those arriving on or after November 16th, 2002) will be automatically disqualified. The student workshop committee is not responsible for postal delays or other mailing problems. For electronic submissions, all time zones will be taken into account). Acknowledgement will be emailed soon after receipt. Notification of acceptance will be sent to authors (by email) on January 15th, 2003. Detailed formatting guidelines for the preparation of the final camera-ready copy will be provided to authors with their acceptance notice. 6. Timetable Important dates: Paper submissions deadline: November 15th, 2002 Notification of acceptance: January 15th, 2003 Camera ready papers due: February 15th, 2003 EACL conference April 12th-17th, 2003 7.

CONFERENCE THEME: From Research to Real Users Ever since the showdown between Empiricists and Rationalists a decade ago at TMI-92, MT researchers have hotly pursued promising paradigms for MT, including data-driven approaches (e.g., statistical, example-based) and hybrids that integrate these with more traditional rule-based components. During the same period, commercial MT systems with standard transfer architectures have evolved along a parallel and almost unrelated track, increasing their coverage (primarily through manual update of their lexicons, we assume) and achieving much broader acceptance and usage, principally through the medium of the Internet. Web page translators have become commonplace; a number of online translation services have appeared, including in their offerings both raw and post-edited MT; and large corporations have been turning increasingly to MT to address the exigencies of global communication. Still, the output of the transfer-based systems employed in this expansion represents but a small drop in the ever-growing translation marketplace bucket. Now, 10 years later, we wonder if this mounting variety of MT users is any better off, and if the promise of the research technologies is being realized to any measurable degree. In this regard, we pose the following questions: Why aren't any current commercially available MT systems primarily data-driven? Do any commercially available systems integrate (or plan to integrate) data-driven components? Do data-driven systems have significant performance or quality issues? Can such systems really provide better quality to users, or is their main advantage one of fast, facilitated customization? If any new MT technology could provide such benefits (somewhat higher quality, or facilitated customization), would that be the key to more widespread use of MT, or are there yet other more relevant unresolved issues, such as system integration? If better quality, customization, or system integration aren't the answer, then what is it that users really need from MT in order for it to be more useful to them? INVITED SPEAKERS We are pleased to announce that invited speakers for the conference will include Yorick Wilks and Ken Church, both notable participants at TMI-92, and Jaap van der Meer, former CEO of ALPNET. We anticipate that the speakers will provide a sharp and stimulating focus on the theme of the conference. CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS Elliott Macklovitch, General Chair Stephen D.
