 (Australasian Language Technology Association Workshop) 

 

               to be held in conjunction with 
     the Australian Document Computing Symposium 

 

                      Melbourne, Australia

                      Call For Papers

 

            ********************************************

           Paper submission: September 3, 2007 

 

            ********************************************

    
** OVERVIEW

 

A two-day workshop on Natural Language Technology will be organised by
the Australasian Language Technology Association (ALTA).  This event
will be the fifth annual installment of the workshop in its
most-recent incarnation, and the continuation of an annual workshop
series that has existed under various guises since the early 90s.

The ALTA Workshop will be held in conjunction with the Australian 
Document Computing Symposium (ADCS), which focuses on issues 
ranging from the fundamentals of document architectures and standards 
for markup, through various aspects of document processing. 

The goals of the workshop are: 

 

 * to bring together the growing Language Technology (LT) community 
   in Australia and New Zealand and encourage interactions; 

 * to encourage interactions and collaboration within this community 
   and with the wider international LT community; 
 * to foster interaction between academic and industrial researchers; 
 * to encourage dissemination of research results; 
 * to provide a forum for the discussion of new and ongoing research 
   and projects; 
 * to provide an opportunity for the broader artificial intelligence 
   community to become aware of local LT research; 
 * to increase visibility of LT research in Australia, New Zealand 
   and overseas. 

 

As with the 2006 Workshop, there will be poster presentations 
in addition to the regular talks, in order to encourage more interactive

discussion of research-in-progress. In this vein, we encourage 
submissions from students describing their thesis work and any 
preliminary results. Note that both publication types will have the 
same status in the proceedings.

 

** Topics

 

We invite the submission of papers on original and unpublished 
research on all aspects of natural language processing, 
including, but not limited to:

 

 * speech understanding and generation; 
 * phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, 
   and discourse; 
 * interpreting and generating spoken and written language; 
 * linguistic, mathematical, and psychological models of language; 
 * language-oriented information extraction and retrieval; 
 * corpus-based and statistical language modelling; 
 * summarisation; 
 * machine translation and translation aids; 
 * natural language interfaces and dialogue systems; 
 * natural language and multimodal systems; 
 * message and narrative understanding systems; 
 * evaluations of language systems; 
 * computational lexicography. 

 

We welcome submissions on any topic that is of interest to the LT 
community, and particularly encourage submissions that broaden the 
scope of our community through the consideration of practical LT 
applications and through multi-disciplinary research. 

 

** Submission Format

 

Submissions should follow the two-column format of the 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 tailored for this year's 
conference. The style files and example documents are available 
from the workshop website. We reserve the right to reject 
submissions that do not conform to these styles including font 
and page size restrictions.

 

The preferred submission format is PDF. If this introduces 
problems, please contact the organisers beforehand.

 

If we cannot print your file by the submission date it will be 
rejected without being reviewed. Therefore you are encouraged 
to send an early version with the typographical complexity of 
your final intended version so that we can check it is printable. 
All papers should include the full authors' names and affiliations. 
(Note that this diverges from the "blind" submission guidelines 
adopted for ACL conferences.)

 

Detailed directions for submission will be made available at 
the workshop website. 

Contact the organisers (workshop AT alta DOT asn DOT au) for 
any questions regarding this process.

 

**Proceedings

 

A proceedings containing all papers (presentations and posters) 
will be produced in paper and/or CD-ROM format. Each format 
will have an ISBN number.


**Important Dates

 

 * Paper submission: September 3, 2007 
 * Submission date for Hons/Ugrad students: Sept 17, 2007 (see below) 
 * Notification of acceptance: October 5, 2007 
 * Camera-ready copy: October 19, 2007 
 * Workshop: December 10-11, 2007 

 

Note that we have instituted a later submission deadline for papers 
with **first-named** authors that are current Honours or Undergraduate 
students. If you qualify for this condition and plan to submit to 
this deadline then you must register an "Intention to Submit" with 
the workshop chairs by the normal submission due date (Sept 8). 
Send an email to the organisers (workshop AT alta DOT asn DOT au) 
with title, authors, and abstract.

Colloque international "Lexicographie et Informatique : Bilan et 
Perspectives"
Extension de la date limite de soumission : *_17 Septembre 2007_*

Rappel des informations relatives à cet appel à communications :

2e Appel à communications pour le colloque international
"Lexicographie et informatique : bilan et perspectives" qui aura lieu
du 23 au 25 janvier 2008 à l'occasion du 50e anniversaire du lancement
du projet du Trésor de la Langue Française.

Pour en savoir plus, allez sur le site de l'ATILF :
http://www.atilf.fr à la rubrique, appel à communications. Vous aurez
ainsi toutes les indications utiles.

Ci-dessous les éléments essentiels à connaître :

________________________________________________________________________

En novembre 1957, le Centre de Philologie romane et de Langue et 
Littérature françaises contemporaines réunissait, à l'Université de 
Strasbourg, un colloque intitulé « Lexicologie et lexicographies 
françaises et romanes : orientations et exigences actuelles ».
Son organisateur, Paul Imbs, l'avait conçu pour lancer son projet de 
nouveau dictionnaire de la langue française. L'originalité majeure du 
/Trésor de la Langue Française /qui se détermine à cette époque aura été 
de se fonder, entre autres sources, sur l'indexation informatique d'un 
riche corpus de textes écrits entre 1789 et 1960. Depuis, la 
lexicographie n'a cessé de recourir à l'informatique.
Cinquante ans plus tard, ce nouveau colloque voudrait tirer le bilan de 
cette innovation méthodologique sur la pratique lexicographique du TLF 
et des travaux lexicographiques qui ont suivi ou qui sont en cours : son 
intérêt, ses implications, ses conséquences. Il veut aussi, comme 
c'était l'ambition du colloque de 1957, baliser la voie de la 
lexicographie à venir, celle des projets qui s'élaborent aujourd'hui ou 
que préparent de nouvelles recherches.

*Thèmes du colloque *:

- Histoire et bilan méthodologiques du TLF.
- Les projets lexicographiques dans le sillage du TLF.
- Les grands chantiers lexicographiques actuels et leurs méthodologies.
- La lexicographie et les objets lexicographiques à venir.
- Les relations entre lexiques TAL et dictionnaires informatisés.
- Les applications lexicographiques émergentes.

*Les propositions pourront relever des champs disciplinaires suivants* :

- L'histoire et l'épistémologie de la lexicographie moderne.
- Les méthodologies en lexicographie et en constitution de ressources 
dictionnairiques.
- Le TAL et la lexicographie.
- L'ingéniérie linguistique et la dictionnairique.
- La lexicographie et le multilinguisme.
- Les rapports entre la lexicographie et les autres disciplines du
  langage.


*Langues du colloque *: français, anglais.

*Sélection des communications *:

Les propositions de communications, en français ou en anglais, seront 
jointes dans un fichier attaché au message contenant les coordonnées 
individuelles. Elles devront être formulées dans un texte anonyme de 3 à 
5 pages qui sera soumis à au moins deux lecteurs du comité scientifique. 
Une session « posters » est également envisageable. Les propositions 
retenues donneront lieu à des pré-actes mis à la disposition des 
participants au colloque. Une sélection d'articles sera publiée en un 
volume d'environ 250 à 300 pages, dans une maison d'éditions 
scientifiques. Une feuille de style est disponible sur le site de l'ATILF.
*

*Calendrier*
Date limite de l'envoi des propositions : 17 septembre 2007 à 
tlf-csn at atilf.fr
Envoi de la décision du comité scientifique  : 15 octobre 2007
Etablissement du programme définitif : 31 octobre 2007
Dates du colloque : 23 - 25 janvier 2008

Automated Syntactic Annotations for Interoperable Language Resources

		     City University of Hong Kong
			    8 January 2008

The First Workshop on Automated Syntactic Annotations
for Interoperable Language Resources will be held at the First
International Conference on Interoperability for Language Resources,
City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 9-11 January 2008
(http://icgl.ctl.cityu.edu.hk/). This Workshop is organized under the
auspices of ISO TC37/SC4.

We are now able to parse huge amount of data (due to computer speed
increase and parsing optimization) and yet we still do not have more
information than before about the quality of the results. The task is
not easy because the current amount of data does not allow manual
check anymore. A primary aim of the workshop is to identify and
evaluate natural language processing technologies that can be usefully
applied to the creation and annotation of language resources to be
used for practical tasks. Here, usefulness is defined according to, in
addition to accuracy and efficiency, linguistic granularity that the
tools apply and also the degree of compliance to ISO standards to
ensure interoperability. A second aim of the workshop is to see how
language resources can support the development of language processing
applications that are increasingly important to the global society.
Additionally, the situations for different languages are not the same.
At least two important criteria need to be considered for the
evaluation of parsing technologies: 1) the availability of large
corpora for the language, and 2) current mainstream evaluation metrics
may not be suited for that particular language.

We invite papers that demonstrate how to inter-link the results of
(multilingual or monolingual) parsers via the use of common
categories/structures in the resulting annotation, or
categories/structures that can be mapped to one another, and how these
can contribute to the extension of (multilingual or monolingual)
language resources. Pertinent side issues may include the evaluation
of the parsers, the resulting language resources, and the
detection/correction of residual errors. The commonality of categories
can be ensured by a common annotation framework for syntactic
phenomena, by interoperable annotation frameworks, or the mapping of
the results of syntactic parsers into semantic representations that
can be used for linking results of various parsers.

Papers are also invited that discuss parsing requirements to produce
application-specific language resources for tasks such as
syntax-semantics mapping, text markup for the semantic web,
terminology extraction, and ontology construction.

Ultimately the original thing - with no ripoffs! 
P.E.P. are very hot at the time! 
Well here comes the real thing not a forgery! 
One of the very prominents, absolutely unequalled 
produce is on the market anywhere! 

Pay heed to what people tell on this product: 
"I pleased how quickly your stuff affected on my boyfriend, 
he can't put an end to his talking about how excited he is 
having such new girth, length, and libido!" 
Rita R., San Francisco 

"Firstly I considered the free sample I got was some kind of joke, 
till I actually tried to take the P.E.P. 
I canÂ’t describe describe how highly satisfied I am 
with the consequences from using this patch for 7 brief weeks. 
I will be asking for P.E.P. continually!" 
Steve Burbon, Chicago

Je vous prie de trouver ci-joint le communiqué de presse de l'ouvrage que
les Éditions Hermes - Lavoisier viennent de publier, et qui ne manquera pas
de retenir votre attention.


La production de la parole

Collection TIC et sciences cognitives
dirigée par Jean-Marie Pierrel

Alain Marchal

Quoi de plus simple et de plus facile apparemment que de parler. Et
pourtant : il n'existe pas d'organe spécifique dédié à cette
tâche. L'homme, pour parler, emprunte l'usage de systèmes biologiques
et physiologiques dont la fonction première est toute autre : assurer
la respiration (poumons, trachée, larynx, voies aériennes
supérieures), permettre l'absorption et la mastication des aliments
(lèvres, dents, langue) et assurer la déglutition (pharynx,
épiglotte). Sont mobilisés pour la production des voyelles, des
consonnes et de la prosodie plus de 200 muscles.

Leur action doit être étroitement contrôlée afin de réaliser avec
précision dans le tractus tous les ajustements nécessaires à la
production d'une parole intelligible. C'est un processus d'une
extraordinaire complexité.

Cet ouvrage offre une vision pluridisciplinaire de la parole qui va de
l'anatomie à la linguistique. Il montre de manière complète et
accessible comment les possibilités phoniques de l'homme sont
exploitées par les langues du monde.

 

L'auteur

Alain Marchal, directeur de recherche au CNRS, est un spécialiste de
la production de la parole. Ses travaux portent à la fois sur la mise
au point de nouvelles méthodes d'observation de l'activité linguale et
sur l'étude comparée des phénomènes de coarticulation dans plusieurs
langues.

Nous sommes persuadés que cet ouvrage ne manquera pas d'intéresser vos
lecteurs et vous remercions par avance de l'accueil que vous saurez lui
réserver.

OVERVIEW

Information extraction (IE) and text summarization (TS) are key
technologies aiming at extracting relevant information from texts and
other sources and presenting the information to the user in condensed
forms. Recent years have witnessed an explosion of information, making
IE and TS particularly important for the information society. These
technologies, however, face new challenges with the adoption of the
Web 2.0 paradigm (e.g. blogs, wikis) because of their inherent
multi-source nature. These technologies have to deal no longer with
isolated texts or single narratives but with large scale repositories,
or sources -- in one or many languages -- containing a multiplicity of
views, opinions, or commentaries on particular topics, entities or
events.  There is thus a need to adapt and/or develop new techniques
to deal with these new phenomena. The ``Multi-source, Multilingual
Information Extraction and Summarization'' workshop will cover the
following questions:



     * What methods are appropriate to detect
similar/complementary/contradictory information? Are hand-crafted
rules and knowledge-rich approaches convenient?

     * What methods are there to tackle cross-document and
cross-lingual entity and event coreference?

     * What machine learning approaches are most appropriate for this
task: supervised/unsupervised/semi-supervised? What type of corpora is
required for training and testing?

     * What techniques are appropriate to produce condensed synthesis
of the extracted information? What generation techniques are useful
here? What kind of techniques can be used to cross domains and
languages?

     * What tools are there to support multi-lingual/multi-source
access to information? What solutions are there beyond full document
translation to produce cross-lingual summaries?

[Apologies for cross-postings]

** extended deadline September 30th **
2nd International Symposium on 

Languages in Biology and Medicine (LBM) 2007 

6-7 December 2007 @ Biopolis, Singapore 

( http://lbm2007.biopathway.org/ ) 

Language is a powerful tool that in its many manifestations is a
system, used for communication, comprising a finite set of arbitrary
symbols and a set of rules (or grammar) by which the manipulation of
these symbols is governed. In biology and medicine, the importance of
languages used to represent knowledge, communicate and query
information is immense. Likewise auxiliary tasks such as translation,
summarization and information extraction play important roles
supporting scientific research. The automation of such tasks has
significantly advanced knowledge discovery in biomedicine.

Incumbent technologies that discover, read and process language are
continually stretched by the vigorous demands of bio-medical
scientists and there is the continual need and incentive for language
techniques to evolve. Despite this, the distinct communities involved
in language processing rarely borrow from one another or look over the
fence to see what other approaches are in use. And yet synergistic
interactions across methodological disciplines and across different
topics are frequently the harbingers of revolutionary technologies. In
this context, it is imperative that we adopt diversification, more
lateral and creative interaction between language professionals.

The International Symposium on Languages in Biology and Medicine (LBM)
2007 seeks to provide a renewed opportunity for interaction between
language professionals with different methodological backgrounds. LBM
was established in 2005 and the remit of this event remains highly
relevant today. The symposium focuses on the languages that are in
active use for biology and medicine. We are calling for original
research papers on, but not limited to the topics listed below. Papers
focusing on application aspects of languages in biology and medicine
are also invited.

  * Natural language: text mining, retrieval and management;

  * Ontology language: ontology construction, extension and
    management;

  * Logic language: knowledge representation and induction; 

  * Sequence language: RNA structure prediction, protein domain
    prediction;

  * Database language: database interface, query language; 

  * Visualization language: information visualization, molecular
    visualization.

LBM2007 will consist of oral paper and poster presentation, invited
speeches and a panel discussion. In addition to on-line conference
proceedings, oral paper presentations will be published in BMC
Bioinformatics and receive a MEDLINE citation.

The symposium is co-located with the International Conference on
Genome Informatics (GIW), which will be held in Singapore from
December 3 to 5, 2007.

Submission of Papers 

Submission should follow BMC instructions for authors which could be
found at http://lbm2007.biopathway.org/PaperSubmission and should not
exceed 14 pages including references. Additional pages could be given
to figures and tables.

Paper review will be double blind, so papers should not include
authors' names and affiliations. Self-references are to be
avoided-instead of "As we showed in Smith et al. 1999...", say "As
Smith et al. 1999 showed...." Paper submission software will allow
authors to enter full author information separately. The paper
submission site is http://www.easychair.org/LBM2007. Manuscripts must
be submitted no later than September 30, 2007.

Important Dates 

Paper submission due: September 30 , 2007 
Notification of acceptance: November 1, 2007 
Camera ready due: November 30 , 2007

: l'un consacré aux experts, l'autre aux institutions.

Si vous considérez que l'institution pour laquelle vous travaillez
contribue ou est spécialisée dans le multilinguisme, veuillez s'il
vous plaît remplir le formulaire correspondant aux institutions. De la
même manière, si de par vos études ou votre expérience
professionnelle, vous vous estimez spécialiste en la matière, nous
vous invitons à remplir le formulaire destiné aux experts. N'hésitez
pas, si vous le jugez pertinent, à compléter les deux questionnaires.

La page d'accès aux deux formulaires se trouve à
http://www.unesco-ci.org/multilingualism/institutions/.  Si toutefois
vous n'étiez pas en mesure de remplir le formulaire en ligne, nous
vous prierions de bien vouloir nous en informer en nous envoyant un
message à cette même adresse.

Par ailleurs, n'hésitez pas à diffuser cette enquête auprès d'autres
experts et institutions spécialisées dans ce domaine.

L'UNESCO demande des résultats en français ou en anglais. Cependant,
s'il vous est IMPOSSIBLE de répondre dans l'une de ces deux langues,
nous pourrons vous fournir un formulaire en catalan, espagnol,
italien, portugais ou roumain. Ce service doit néanmoins rester
EXCEPTIONNEL, car il impliquerait inévitablement la traduction de vos
réponses par l'Union latine.

Je vous remercie d'avance de votre participation, et me tiens à votre
disposition pour toute question éventuelle.

Veuillez agréer mes salutations distinguées,

Daniel Prado

LA PRODUCTIVITÉ MORPHOLOGIQUE

Date : 10 novembre 2007

Organisation : Georgette Dal (STL, CNRS & Université de Lille),
Bernard Fradin (LLF, CNRS & Université de Paris 7), Natalia Grabar
(Centre de recherche des Cordeliers, Université de Paris 6, INSERM,
Paris).

Lieu : Paris (endroit exact à préciser)

Conférencier invité : Harald Baayen, University of Alberta Edmonton, Canada.


La présente journée est consacrée à la question de la productivité
morphologique dans le domaine du lexique construit.  La productivité
des règles de construction de lexèmes peut être abordée sous deux
aspects complémentaires, l'un qualitatif, l'autre quantitatif.  D'un
point de vue qualitatif, une règle de construction de lexèmes, conçue
ici comme un patron exprimant la généralisation de données
observables, est dite productive quand de nouveaux lexèmes, jamais
produits auparavant ou inconnus du locuteur qui les a produit, peuvent
l'instancier. La difficulté, avec cette définition, est qu'elle
nécessite de mettre en place des outils pour estimer la productivité
d'une règle donnée, étant entendu que l'intuition du locuteur, fût-il
linguiste, n'est pas un guide fiable.  Ces dernières années, la
principale avancée sur cette question ne concerne pas tant la
définition de la notion elle-même que, précisément, la proposition de
mesures permettant de l'objectiver et de dépasser la simple
intuition. Or, ces mesures requièrent des compétences diverses et
complémentaires, pouvant impliquer des chercheurs en linguistique
théorique, en traitement automatique des langues, en statistiques et
en psycholinguistique.

L'apport du traitement automatique des langues consiste, à partir d'un
corpus donné, à opérer un premier tri et à préparer les données sur
lesquelles portera l'analyse. Souvent, on utilise pour ceci des
traitements classiques du TAL, comme la segmentation, l'étiquetage
morpho-syntaxique ou la lemmatisation. Mais, lorsque les outils qui
effectuent l'analyse morphologique des lexèmes sont disponibles, ils
peuvent également intervenir dans la tâche et aider l'étape ultérieure
de sélection humaine des lexèmes construits. Les outils de ce type,
par exemple Derif (Namer, 2003), sont rares mais leur apport est
indéniable.
L'apport du TAL est aussi de permettre, une fois qu'il a été statué
sur les données, d'automatiser les calculs de la productivité.
L'apport essentiel des spécialistes en morphologie, sémantique et
psycholinguistique consiste à statuer sur les lexèmes retenus à
l'issue de la phase précédente. Lors de la sélection, on peut
distinguer par exemple les lexèmes (i) qui instancient effectivement
le patron étudié, (ii) les emprunts, (iii) les lexèmes dans lesquels
le procédé étudié n'est pas la dernière opération morphologique, (iv)
ceux dans lesquels il joue un rôle purement formel, etc.


Soumissions : =============

Toute proposition en rapport avec la thématique de la journée sera
examinée.  Il pourra s'agir de recherches portant sur : l'étude de la
productivité d'une règle de construction de lexèmes donnée, une
comparaison entre la productivité de règles de constructions de
lexèmes différentes, la pertinence d'opposer règles de construction de
lexèmes et règles de réalisation de lexèmes quant à leur productivité,
une discussion des mesures existantes ou sur la proposition d'autres
façons de mesurer la productivité morphologique.  On pourra aussi se
demander :
si l'étude de la productivité en morphologie requiert des approches et
ressources qui lui sont propres, ou si l'on peut réutiliser
l'outillage méthodologique et logiciel développé pour d'autres besoins
du TAL (étiqueteurs, lemmatisateurs, etc.), dans quelle mesure les
outils qui ont développés pour l'analyse en morphologie (Dérif, Flemm,
Automorphology, etc.) sont utilisables pour l'étude de la question de
la productivité en morphologie, etc.

Les soumissions portant sur le point de vue psycholinguistique sur la
question seront également les bienvenues.

l'anglais.

MORPHOLOGICAL PRODUCTIVITY

Date: November 10th 2007

Organization: Georgette Dal (STL, CNRS & Université de Lille), Bernard
Fradin (LLF, CNRS & Université de Paris 7), Natalia Grabar (Centre de
recherche des Cordeliers, Université de Paris 6, INSERM, Paris).

Place: Paris (to be specified)

Invited conference: Harald Baayen, University of Alberta Edmonton, Canada.

This workshop addresses the morphological productivity of the
constructed lexicon.
The productivity of lexeme construction rules can be treated from two
complementary points of view: qualitative and quantitative.
from a quantitative point of view, a lexeme construction rule,
conceived here as a pattern which generalizes observed data, is
productive when new lexemes, never constructed before or unknown to
the speaker they are produced by, can instanciate it. The difficult
point with this definition is that it requires the use of tools to
measure the productivity of a given rule, since the intuition of the
speaker, even a linguist, is not a reliable criterion.  These last
years, the main progress on this question involves not so much the
definition of the notion of productivity as, precisely, the
proposition of measures which help to objectivise and go beyond simple
intuition. As a matter of fact, these measures require various and
complementary competences and involve researchers from theoretical
linguistics, natural language processing, statistics and
psycholinguistics.

The contribution of natural language processing consists of processing
a corpus in order to perform a first selection and prepare data for
further analysis. Classical NLP tools are frequently used, for
instance in tokenisation, part-of-speech tagging or lemmatisation of
corpora.
Nevertheless, morphological analysis tools can be used as well, if
available, to facilitate the final selection of constructed lexemes by
human experts.  Such tools, e.g., Derif (Namer, 2003), are not common
even though their contribution to this task is undeniable.
NLP is also used to automate the computation of productivity values
once the morphological data have been validated.

The role of experts in morphology, semantics and psycholinguistics
consists of determining the status of lexemes selected during the NLP
phase. As a matter of fact, it is important to make a distinction
between types of lexemes such as (i) lexemes which instanciate the
studied morphological pattern, (ii) borrowed lexemes, (iii) lexemes
where the studied pattern does not represent the last morphological
operation, (iv) lexemes where the morphological operation has a
completely formal role, etc.


Submission process: =============

Any proposal related to the topics of the workshop will be considered,
and more particularly works which address the following points:
study of the productivity of a given lexeme construction rule
comparison between the productivities of various lexeme construction
rules relevance of constrasting productivity of lexeme construction
rules and productivity of lexeme realisation rules discussion of
existing measures, proposal of new approaches for computing
morphological productivity.
Moreover, the following questions can be discussed:
Does the study of morpholocal productivity require specific approaches
and resources, or it is possible to reuse methodologies and tools
developed for other needs in NLP (POS taggers, lemmatisers, etc.).
To which extent can tools developed for morphological analysis (Dérif,
Flemm, Automorphology, etc.) be used when studying morphological
productivity.  etc.
Submissions on these questions from the psycholinguistics point of
view are welcome as well. 
Workshop languages: French and English.


Modality of submission: =================================

Submissions must include:
1) An anonymous abstract, in French or in English, of at most 1500
words, excluding bibliography. The whole submission (abstract and
bibliography) should not exceed 5 pages in A4 format, Times 12 pt. The
abstract should clearly state the topic addressed and specify the main
conclusions of the study. References to previous works in this area
should be mentioned. The most important data which allow to support
the findings should be presented.
2) A separate page with the following information: first and last
names, administrative affiliation, mail address, status, email address
and the title of the submission.

Submissions should be sent by email (.pdf format) to
productivite at linguist.jussieu.fr. Please send the abstract and the
author page as two separate files, the first should be named
name.abstact.pdf and the second name.perso.pdf, where "name" will be
replaced by the name of the submitting or contact author. Deadline:
October 1st 2007. (Only one abstract per author will be accepted.)

MAIN CONFERENCE: 28-29-30 MAY 2008

WORKSHOPS and TUTORIALS: 26-27 MAY and 31 MAY- 1 JUNE 2008
Conference web site: http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2008/  

The sixth international conference on Language Resources and
Evaluation (LREC) will be organised in 2008 by ELRA in cooperation
with a wide range of international associations and organisations,
including AAMT, AMTA, ACL, ALTA, COCOSDA and Oriental COCOSDA, EACL,

SIGLEX, TEI, Technolangue French Program, WRITE and with major
national and international organisations including the European
Commission - Information Society and Media, Unit E.2 "Content and
Knowledge".

 

*CONFERENCE AIMS*

In 10 years - the first LREC was held in Granada in 1998 - LREC has
become the major event on Language Resources (LRs) and Evaluation for
Human Language Technologies (HLT). The aim of LREC is to provide an
overview of the state-of-the-art, explore new R&D directions and
emerging trends, exchange information regarding LRs and their
applications, evaluation methodologies and tools, ongoing and planned
activities, industrial uses and needs, requirements coming from the
e-society, both with respect to policy issues and to technological and
organisational ones.

LREC provides a unique forum for researchers, industrials and funding
agencies from across a wide spectrum of areas to discuss problems and
opportunities, find new synergies and promote initiatives for
international cooperation, in support to investigations in language
sciences, progress in language technologies and development of
corresponding products, services and applications, and standards.

 
*CONFERENCE TOPICS*

 Issues in the design, construction and use of Language Resources
(LRs): text, speech, multimodality

 
- Guidelines, standards, specifications, models and best practices for
  LRs

- Methodologies and tools for LRs construction and annotation

- Methodologies and tools for the extraction and acquisition of
  knowledge

- Ontologies and knowledge representation

- Terminology

- Integration between (multilingual) LRs, ontologies and Semantic Web
  technologies

- Metadata descriptions of LRs and metadata for semantic/content
  markup

Exploitation of LRs in different types of systems and applications

 

- For: information extraction, information retrieval, speech
dictation, mobile communication, machine translation, summarisation,
web services, semantic search, text mining, inferencing, reasoning,
etc.

- In different types of interfaces: (speech-based) dialogue systems,
natural language and multimodal/multisensorial interactions, voice
activated services, etc.

- Communication with neighbouring fields of applications, e.g.
e-government, e-culture, e-health, e-participation, mobile
applications, etc.

- Industrial LRs requirements, user needs

 

Issues in Human Language Technologies evaluation

- HLT Evaluation methodologies, protocols and measures

- Validation, quality assurance, evaluation of LRs

- Benchmarking of systems and products

- Usability evaluation of HLT-based user interfaces, interactions and
dialogue systems

- Usability and user satisfaction evaluation

 

General issues regarding LRs & Evaluation

- National and international activities and projects

- Priorities, perspectives, strategies in national and international
policies for LRs

- Open architectures

- Organisational, economical and legal issues

 

*_Special Highlights_*

 
LREC targets the integration of different types of LRs - spoken,
written, and other modalities - and of the respective communities. To
this end, LREC encourages submissions covering issues which are common
to different types of LRs and language technologies.

 
LRs are currently developed and deployed in a much wider range of
applications and domains. LREC 2008 recognises the need to encompass
all those data that interact with language resources in an attempt to
model more complex human processes and develop more complex systems,
and encourages submissions on topics such as:

- Multimodal and multimedia systems, for Human-Machine interfaces,
Human-Human interactions, and content processing

- Resources for modelling language-related cognitive processes,
including emotions

- Interaction/Association of language and perception data, also for
robotic systems

 

 *PROGRAMME*

 
The Scientific Programme will include invited talks, oral
presentations, poster and demo presentations, and panels.
*There is no difference in quality between oral and poster
presentations. Only the appropriateness of the type of communication
(more or less interactive) to the content of the paper will be
considered.*

Journée thématique ATALA sur la Traduction Automatique

         Date : samedi 1er décembre 2007.
         Lieu : Lieu à préciser ultérieurement (Paris)
Organisation : Holger Schwenk, LIUM, Université du Maine

Dates importantes :
  - Date limite de soumission : 07 novembre 2007
  - Date de notification aux auteurs : 21 novembre 2007
  - Date pour les versions finales : 27 novembre 2007

Objectifs de la journée

Dans notre monde de communication à l'échelle mondiale, la traduction
automatique ou assistée par ordinateur est devenue une technologie
clef.  Il s'agit d'une tâche scientifique complexe faisant intervenir
pratiquement tous les aspects du traitement du langage naturel.  Ces
dernières années, différentes approches ont été proposées et de
nombreuses conférences internationales y consacrent des sessions
spéciales. On peut également citer les projets européens Tc-Star et
EuroMatrix qui abordent la traduction des débats du parlement
européen.

Le but de cette journée est de réunir tous les chercheurs francophones
et membres de laboratoires de recherche industriels qui travaillent
sur des problématiques autour de la traduction automatique. Les
diverses approches poursuivies seront discutées de façon détaillée
afin de positionner les activités de recherche en France par rapport
aux tendances au niveau international. Il est également espéré que ces
journées encourageront de futurs coopérations.

Toutes les réflexions et études autour de la traduction automatique de
textes sont intéressantes pour cette journée.  
Voici une liste non exhaustive d'axes :

   - Description de systèmes complets
   - Avancées dans la théorie et l'utilisation d'une approche
     particulière (par règles, basée sur des exemples, statistique,
     ...)
   - Systèmes hybrides, par exemple linguistique et statistique
   - Développement et utilisation de ressources pour la traduction
     (lexiques, textes parallèles, WEB, ...


Les articles sont limités à une longueur de 8 pages. Des feuilles de
style sont disponibles sur demande.  Il est prévu de distribuer les
articles et ressources sur le site de l'ATALA ou sous forme d'un CD.

Bonjour à tous,

veuillez trouver ci-dessous le programme du séminaire Alpage.
pour le premier semestre.

********************* Séminaire Alpage  
***********************************

                Séminaire de l'école doctorale de Paris 7

Il s'agit du séminaire de recherche en linguistique informatique
organisé par l'équipe Alpage,
Alpage est une nouvelle équipe mixte Inria -- Paris 7 issue de la
fusion des équipes Atoll et Talana.
L'équipe centre ses intérêts scientifiques autour de l'analyse
syntaxique automatique et du traitement du discours pour la langue
française.

Ce séminaire remplace l'ancien séminaire Talana. Il se tient le lundi
de 14.30 à 16.30 tous les 15 jours.
Il a lieu en salle131 au 30 rue du Chateau des Rentiers 75013 Paris  
(premier étage)
Toute personne intéressée est la bienvenue.

Programme prévisionnel :

************************************************************************ 
******
1er Octobre 2007 : Attention ! le séminaire aura lieu  
exceptionnellement de 13.30 à 15.30 !

Laurence Danlos (Alpage INRIA et Université Paris 7) nous parlera de
D-STAG: Using Synchronous TAG for Discourse

Résumé de la communication :

We propose a new formalism for discourse, called D-STAG,
which is inspired, on the one hand, by RST and SDRT as discourse  
theories,
on the other hand, by D-LTAG as a formalism which extends a  
sentential TAG syntax/semantic interface to the discourse level.

15 Octobre 2007

David Reitter (ICCS/HCRC Edinburgh) nous parlera de
Syntactic priming in corpora as evidence for the sentence production  
architecture

Résumé de la communication :

Structural priming is the tendency to repeat syntactic material in  
the comprehension or production of language. For instance, speakers  
have been shown to re-use the structure of a verbal complement after  
a prime, e.g., either "gave Vera the book" vs. "gave the book to  
Vera" (e.g., Bock 1986, Pickering and Branigan 1989). I present a  
series of corpus-based studies that exploit syntactic priming effects  
as evidence for structural analyses. Using two statistical methods, I  
demonstrate a short-term and a long-term form of priming.

Language production has been shown to vary in its incrementality. On  
a syntactic level, Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG, Steedman  
2000) provides a computational, symbolic account of syntax allowing  
incremental and non-incremental derivations. Syntactic priming can  
provide us with tests of the flexible constituent structure that CCG  
predicts. For instance, we can test for structure that varies in its  
incrementality and, and for combinatory subcategorization and  
linearization information. Using the notion of "distituents" from the  
unsupervised-parsing literature, we can show that priming actually  
acts on structural representations and not just on arbitrary n-grams.  
The above work has led to a cognitive model of (basic) sentence  
realization in the ACT-R framework, based on combinatory grammar,  
which explains priming as a form of learning.

************************************************************************

29 Octobre 2007

Natalie Schluter (NCLT Dublin) nous parlera de :
Probabilistic parsing of French and automatic acquisition of LFG  
resources.

Résumé de la communication :

In this talk, I put into question the role of lexicalisation in the  
parsing of French, in the wake of a restructured and corrected French  
Treebank. I also present my work on the automatic acquisition of  
probabilistic LFG resources for French.

Dans ce séminaire, je remettrai en question le rôle de la  
lexicalisation dans l'analyse automatique du français à la lumière  
d'un corpus arboré français, restructuré et corrigé. Aussi, je  
présenterai mon travail sur l'acquisition automatique de resources  
probabilistes dans le cadre de LFG pour le français.

************************************************************************ 
******
12 Novembre 2007

Philippe Langlais (RALI IRO Montreal) nous parlera de :
Traduction de mots inconnus par apprentissage analogique.

Résumé de la communication :

La présence de mots inconnus dans les applications langagières  
représente un défi de taille bien connu auquel n'échappe pas la  
traduction automatique. Les systèmes professionnels de traduction  
offrent à cet effet à leurs utilisateurs la possibilité d'enrichir un  
lexique de base avec de nouvelles entrées. Récemment, Stroppa et Yvon  
(2005) et (2006) démontraient l'intérêt du raisonnement par analogie  
pour l'analyse morphologique d'une langue. Dans l'étude présentée  
ici, nous montrons que le raisonnement par analogie offre également  
une réponse adaptée au problème de la traduction d'entités (mots ou  
séquences de mots) inconnues.

       Post-doctoral scientist in Natural Language Processing,
                         University of Geneva

The University of Geneva, Departments of Computer Science and
Linguistics, invite applications for a post-doctoral research
assistant position in natural language processing.  The successful
candidate will be part of the EU-funded project CLASSiC (subject to
successful completion of negotiations).  He/she will investigate
statistical methods for natural language understanding in the context
of spoken dialog systems.

The CLASSiC project will target a more natural form of interaction in
spoken dialog systems through the integrated statistical treatment of
uncertainty.  Machine learning and statistical methods will be applied
to all modules of the system, and explicit representations of
uncertainty (e.g. from speech recognition ambiguities) will facilitate
the optimal use of constraining information (e.g. from dialog
contexts).  The other project partners are the University of
Edinburgh, Cambridge University, Ecole Superieure d'Electricite
(Supelec, Metz), and France Telecom.

At the University of Geneva, the project will be lead by Paola Merlo
(Department of Linguistics, http://www.unige.ch/lettres/linguistique/)
and James Henderson (Department of Computer Science,
http://cui.unige.ch/DI/).  Work will focus on models of spoken
language understanding which integrate statistical models of
syntactic-semantic parsing for both English and French.  Parallel
corpora will be used to help map models and resources between the two
languages.  The successful candidate will be expected to participate
in this project, plus engage in research of their own choosing.

Applicants should have received a PhD in Computer Science or
Computational Linguistics by the start of the project.  The ideal
candidate will have a background in natural language processing,
statistical methods, machine learning, natural language syntax, and
natural language semantics.  Good programming skills are required.
Knowledge of English and French is highly desirable, and fluency in
one is required.

The appointment is initially for a fixed term of 3 years, with a start
date soon after 1 January 2008.  Salary from 82,800 CHF.

Review of the applicants will begin October 12th, 2007 but will
continue until the position is filled.

Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a statement of research
interest, and names and addresses of at least 3 references to Paola
Merlo at:

Paola Merlo
Linguistics Department
University of Geneva
5 rue de Candolle
CH-1211 Geneve 4
Switzerland

Electronic applications are also accepted. Send your application to
merlo at lettres.unige.ch with CLASSIC Postdoc as the subject line.

Informal inquiries can be addressed to James Henderson
(james.henderson at ed.ac.uk) or to Paola Merlo (merlo at lettres.unige.ch).
 

The University of Geneva wishes to increase the proportion of female
academic staff and, for this reason, especially welcomes applications
from women.

Perl pour les linguistes : programmes en Perl pour exploiter les
données langagières

Ludovic Tanguy et Nabil Hathout

Editions Hermès 2007
Collection TIC et sciences cognitives
dirigée par Jean-Marie Pierrel


Résumé : 

Adressé aux linguistes qui souhaitent travailler sur corpus, cet
ouvrage de programmation en Perl analyse, d'un point de vue pratique,
les principales techniques informatiques d'exploitation des données
textuelles et lexicales à des fins linguistiques.

Accessible sans connaissances préalables en informatique grâce à une
approche progressive et didactique, Perl pour les linguistes propose
des programmes directement applicables et pouvant être adaptés à un
grand nombre de besoins. Il contient une présentation des différentes
données utilisables (types, formats et principales sources
disponibles) ainsi qu'une prise en main du langage de programmation
Perl et des expressions régulières. L'accent est mis sur les méthodes
de base (recherche de mots ou de séquences, calculs de fréquences,
opérations sur les lexiques), avant d'aborder des problématiques plus
avancées comme la manipulation de données structurées en XML et
l'exploitation du Web comme source de données linguistiques.

Un environnement de travail complet ainsi que tous les programmes
présentés sont disponibles sur un site Web d'accompagnement.

Présentation de la conférence

Depuis plus d'une décennie, le groupe TIA aborde le vaste champ des
questions terminologiques en confrontant et en conjuguant les
différentes disciplines concernées : linguistique, traitement
automatique des langues, intelligence artificielle, sciences de
l'information, ingénierie des connaissances, etc.

Dans tous les domaines, les documents sont porteurs de connaissances
et servent de support à leur mémorisation et à leur transmission. Dans
les domaines scientifiques ou techniques (qu'il s'agisse de médecine,
de fabrication aéronautique, de méthodes éducatives, etc.), le rôle
des termes est crucial. L'extension du réseau internet et la
mondialisation ont accéléré le partage de documents écrits entre
cultures et donc, entre langues, mais aussi entre domaines. Ce
phénomène fait émerger de nouveaux problèmes lors de l'appropriation
de connaissances exogènes par une communauté rassemblée autour d'un
thème.  Les journées TIA 2007 seront particulièrement focalisées sur
la migration des termes qui peut être comprise comme passage d'une
langue à une autre, d'un domaine à un autre, d'une application à une
autre, ou encore comme une évolution dans le temps.

*LREC 2008 -  6th Language Resources and Evaluation Conference*

*   SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS*

 

Palais des Congrès Mansour Eddahbi, MARRAKECH - MOROCCO

MAIN CONFERENCE: 28-29-30 MAY 2008

WORKSHOPS and TUTORIALS: 26-27 MAY and 31 MAY- 1 JUNE 2008
Conference web site: http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2008/ 


The sixth international conference on Language Resources and
Evaluation (LREC) will be organised in 2008 by ELRA in cooperation
with a wide range of international associations and organisations,
including AAMT, AMTA, ACL, AFNLP, ALTA, COCOSDA and Oriental COCOSDA,
EACL, EAMT, ELSNET, EURALEX, GWA, IAMT, KnowledgeWeb, LDC, NEMLAR
Network, SIGLEX, TEI, Technolangue French Program, WRITE and with
major national and international organisations including the European
Commission - Information Society and Media, Unit E.2 "Content and
Knowledge".

 

*CONFERENCE AIMS *

In 10 years - the first LREC was held in Granada in 1998 - LREC has
become the major event on Language Resources (LRs) and Evaluation for
Human Language Technologies (HLT). The aim of LREC is to provide an
overview of the state-of-the-art, explore new R&D directions and
emerging trends, exchange information regarding LRs and their
applications, evaluation methodologies and tools, ongoing and planned
activities, industrial uses and needs, requirements coming from the
e-society, both with respect to policy issues and to technological and
organisational ones.

LREC provides a unique forum for researchers, industrials and funding
agencies from across a wide spectrum of areas to discuss problems and
opportunities, find new synergies and promote initiatives for
international cooperation, in support to investigations in language
sciences, progress in language technologies and development of
corresponding products, services and applications, and standards.

 
*CONFERENCE TOPICS *

  Issues in the design, construction and use of Language Resources
(LRs): text, speech, multimodality

 
- Guidelines, standards, specifications, models and best practices for
  LRs

- Methodologies and tools for LRs construction and annotation

- Methodologies and tools for the extraction and acquisition of
  knowledge

- Ontologies and knowledge representation

- Terminology

- Integration between (multilingual) LRs, ontologies and Semantic Web
  technologies

- Metadata descriptions of LRs and metadata for semantic/content
  markup

Exploitation of LRs in different types of systems and applications

 

- For: information extraction, information retrieval, speech
dictation, mobile communication, machine translation, summarisation,
web services, semantic search, text mining, inferencing, reasoning,
etc.

- In different types of interfaces: (speech-based) dialogue systems,
natural language and multimodal/multisensorial interactions, voice
activated services, etc.

- Communication with neighbouring fields of applications, e.g.
e-government, e-culture, e-health, e-participation, mobile
applications, etc.

- Industrial LRs requirements, user needs

 

Issues in Human Language Technologies evaluation

- HLT Evaluation methodologies, protocols and measures

- Validation, quality assurance, evaluation of LRs

- Benchmarking of systems and products

- Usability evaluation of HLT-based user interfaces, interactions and
dialogue systems

- Usability and user satisfaction evaluation

 

General issues regarding LRs & Evaluation

- National and international activities and projects

- Priorities, perspectives, strategies in national and international
policies for LRs

- Open architectures

- Organisational, economical and legal issues

 

* Special Highlights *

 
LREC targets the integration of different types of LRs - spoken,
written, and other modalities - and of the respective communities. To
this end, LREC encourages submissions covering issues which are common
to different types of LRs and language technologies.

 
LRs are currently developed and deployed in a much wider range of
applications and domains. LREC 2008 recognises the need to encompass
all those data that interact with language resources in an attempt to
model more complex human processes and develop more complex systems,
and encourages submissions on topics such as:

- Multimodal and multimedia systems, for Human-Machine interfaces,
Human-Human interactions, and content processing

- Resources for modelling language-related cognitive processes,
including emotions

- Interaction/Association of language and perception data, also for
robotic systems

 

  *PROGRAMME *

 
The Scientific Programme will include invited talks, oral
presentations, poster and demo presentations, and panels.
*There is no difference in quality between oral and poster
presentations. Only the appropriateness of the type of communication
(more or less interactive) to the content of the paper will be
considered. *

Lieu : Paris (endroit exact à préciser)

Objectifs de la journée : * * * * *

A l'issue de la mise en place de la réforme LMD, l'offre de formation
en TAL s'est réorganisée. Il nous semble donc utile de proposer une
journée de rencontre entre les différents acteurs de cette communauté
pédagogique avec pour objectif :

1) de faire se rencontrer les enseignants impliqués dans les
formations afin de débattre des atouts et des difficultés de nos
formations, en particulier en ce qui concerne les effectifs étudiants,
l'insertion professionnelle, les contenus pédagogiques.

2) de déboucher sur des propositions qui permettront d'avancer sur
certains problèmes rencontrés sur le terrain, d'améliorer la
visibilité de l'offre de formation globale et l'attractivité des
filières.

Appel à contributions : * * * * *

Les contributions attendues concernent deux moments de la journée :

1) Exposés - Nous sollicitons l'intervention de responsables de master
TAL en France souhaitant rendre compte de leur expérience en mettant
en avant les points forts issus de choix organisationnels et
pédagogiques originaux, et le cas échéant les difficultés
rencontrées. Voici quelques exemples de thématiques que nous
souhaiterions porter à la discussion :

o expériences de regroupement de forces - formations montées en
  collaboration, interventions conjointes de linguistes et
  d'informaticiens, etc.

o relations avec l'industrie, débouchés professionnels

o articulations entre plusieurs formations (master pro / recherche, ou
  avec disciplines connexes)

o orientations pédagogiques particulières

o rôle du niveau L

Durée de l'exposé : 15 mn + questions
Merci de signaler par mail conjointement à Georges Antoniadis
(georges.antoniadis at u-grenoble3.fr) et Cécile Fabre
(cecile.fabre at univ-tlse2.fr) votre intention de proposer un exposé, en
joignant à cet envoi un descriptif d'une page environ.

* * * Date limite de réception des propositions : 16 novembre

2) Envoi d'informations sur les formations -
Pour préparer la présentation du panorama des formations qui sera fait
le matin, et dans la continuité de ce qui a été réalisé dans le cadre
de REPTIL (http://www.atala.org/reptil), nous demandons aux
responsables de masters TAL de mettre à jour les informations les
concernant après avoir contacté Thomas Lebarbé
(thomas.lebarbe at u-grenoble3.fr) pour obtenir les modalités.

* * * Date limite de réception des informations : 16 novembre

Programme prévisionnel de la journée : * * * * *

9h30-10h : Etat des lieux des formations de TAL en France
10h-12h : Exposés
12h-14h : repas
14h-15h : Exposés
15h-17h : table ronde

Cédrick Fairon (Université catholique de Louvain) et Mounir Zrigui
(Université de Monastir) participeront au débat et exposeront l'état
de l'enseignement du TAL en Belgique et en Tunisie afin de nourrir la
discussion avec des expériences hors de France.

LA NOTION D'ENONCIATION CHEZ EMILE BENVENISTE

ISBN : 978-2-915806-52-6
240 pages -- 30 euros

"L¹ouvrage que j'ai le plaisir de prefacer est, a mon sens,
indispensable a tout lecteur un peu exigeant de Benveniste. Il sera
desormais bien difficile de parler de l'enonciation chez Benveniste
sans se referer a Aya Ono."  (Michel Arrive)

"L'etude d'Aya Ono ne peut que susciter admiration et respect par
l'ampleur des recherches qu'elle suppose, l'obstination a dechiffrer
ces textes plus obscurs qu'on ne le croit d'habitude et l'interet
constamment renouvele d'une lecture ou chaque question en souleve de
nouvelles" (Claudine Normand)

			 Final Call for Paper

 Automated Syntactic Annotations for Interoperable Language Resources

		     City University of Hong Kong
			    8 January 2008
	 http://icgl.ctl.cityu.edu.hk/2008/html/workshop.jsp


The First Workshop on "Automated Syntactic Annotations for
Interoperable Language Resources" will be held at the First
International Conference on Interoperability for Language Resources,
City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 9-11 January 2008
(http://icgl.ctl.cityu.edu.hk/). This Workshop is organized under the
auspices of ISO TC37/SC4.

We are now able to parse huge amount of data (due to computer speed
increase and parsing optimization) and yet we still do not have more
information than before about the quality of the results. The task is
not easy because the current amount of data does not allow manual
check anymore. A primary aim of the workshop is to identify and
evaluate natural language processing technologies that can be usefully
applied to the creation and annotation of language resources to be
used for practical tasks. Here, usefulness is defined according to, in
addition to accuracy and efficiency, linguistic granularity that the
tools apply and also the degree of compliance to ISO standards to
ensure interoperability. A second aim of the workshop is to see how
language resources can support the development of language processing
applications that are increasingly important to the global society.
Additionally, the situations for different languages are not the same.
At least two important criteria need to be considered for the
evaluation of parsing technologies: 1) the availability of large
corpora for the language, and 2) current mainstream evaluation metrics
may not be suited for that particular language.

We invite papers that demonstrate how to inter-link the results of
(multilingual or monolingual) parsers via the use of common
categories/structures in the resulting annotation, or
categories/structures that can be mapped to one another, and how these
can contribute to the extension of (multilingual or monolingual)
language resources. Pertinent side issues may include the evaluation
of the parsers, the resulting language resources, and the
detection/correction of residual errors. The commonality of categories
can be ensured by a common annotation framework for syntactic
phenomena, by interoperable annotation frameworks, or the mapping of
the results of syntactic parsers into semantic representations that
can be used for linking results of various parsers.

Papers are also invited that discuss parsing requirements to produce
application-specific language resources for tasks such as
syntax-semantics mapping, text markup for the semantic web,
terminology extraction, and ontology construction.

La journée ATALA sur 
LA PRODUCTIVITÉ MORPHOLOGIQUE

Date : 10 novembre 2007

Organisation : Georgette Dal (STL, CNRS & Université de Lille), Bernard
Fradin (LLF, CNRS & Université de Paris 7), Natalia Grabar (Centre de
recherche des Cordeliers, Université de Paris 6, INSERM, Paris).

Lieu : Paris (endroit exact à préciser)

Conférencier invité : Harald Baayen, University of Alberta Edmonton,
Canada.


La présente journée est consacrée à la question de la productivité
morphologique dans le domaine du lexique construit.
La productivité des règles de construction de lexèmes peut être
abordée sous deux aspects complémentaires, l'un qualitatif, l'autre
quantitatif.
D'un point de vue qualitatif, une règle de construction de lexèmes,
conçue ici comme un patron exprimant la généralisation de données
observables, est dite productive quand de nouveaux lexèmes, jamais
produits auparavant ou inconnus du locuteur qui les a produit, peuvent
l'instancier. La difficulté, avec cette définition, est qu'elle
nécessite de mettre en place des outils pour estimer la productivité
d'une règle donnée, étant entendu que l'intuition du locuteur, fût-il
linguiste, n'est pas un guide fiable.
Ces dernières années, la principale avancée sur cette question ne
concerne pas tant la définition de la notion elle-même que,
précisément, la proposition de mesures permettant de l'objectiver et
de dépasser la simple intuition. Or, ces mesures requièrent des
compétences diverses et complémentaires, pouvant impliquer des
chercheurs en linguistique théorique, en traitement automatique des
langues, en statistiques et en psycholinguistique.

L'apport du traitement automatique des langues consiste, à partir d'un
corpus donné, à opérer un premier tri et à préparer les données sur
lesquelles portera l'analyse. Souvent, on utilise pour ceci des
traitements classiques du TAL, comme la segmentation, l'étiquetage
morpho-syntaxique ou la lemmatisation. Mais, lorsque les outils qui
effectuent l'analyse morphologique des lexèmes sont disponibles, ils
peuvent également intervenir dans la tâche et aider l'étape ultérieure
de sélection humaine des lexèmes construits. Les outils de ce type,
par exemple Derif (Namer, 2003), sont rares mais leur apport est
indéniable.
L'apport du TAL est aussi de permettre, une fois qu'il a été statué
sur les données, d'automatiser les calculs de la productivité.
L'apport essentiel des spécialistes en morphologie, sémantique et
psycholinguistique consiste à statuer sur les lexèmes retenus à
l'issue de la phase précédente. Lors de la sélection, on peut
distinguer par exemple les lexèmes (i) qui instancient effectivement
le patron étudié, (ii) les emprunts, (iii) les lexèmes dans lesquels
le procédé étudié n'est pas la dernière opération morphologique, (iv)
ceux dans lesquels il joue un rôle purement formel, etc.


Soumissions : =============

Toute proposition en rapport avec la thématique de la journée sera
examinée.  Il pourra s'agir de recherches portant sur :

l'étude de la productivité d'une règle de construction de lexèmes
donnée, une comparaison entre la productivité de règles de
constructions de lexèmes différentes, la pertinence d'opposer règles
de construction de lexèmes et règles de réalisation de lexèmes quant à
leur productivité, une discussion des mesures existantes ou sur la
proposition d'autres façons de mesurer la productivité morphologique.

On pourra aussi se demander :
si l'étude de la productivité en morphologie requiert des approches et
ressources qui lui sont propres, ou si l'on peut réutiliser
l'outillage méthodologique et logiciel développé pour d'autres besoins
du TAL (étiqueteurs, lemmatisateurs, etc.), dans quelle mesure les
outils qui ont développés pour l'analyse en morphologie (Dérif, Flemm,
Automorphology, etc.) sont utilisables pour l'étude de la question de
la productivité en morphologie, etc.
Les soumissions portant sur le point de vue psycholinguistique sur la
question seront également les bienvenues.
Les langues de communication seront le français et, au besoin,
l'anglais.

ATALA workshop on 
MORPHOLOGICAL PRODUCTIVITY

Date: November 10th 2007

Organization: Georgette Dal (STL, CNRS & Université de Lille), Bernard
Fradin (LLF, CNRS & Université de Paris 7), Natalia Grabar (Centre de
recherche des Cordeliers, Université de Paris 6, INSERM, Paris).

Place: Paris (to be specified)

Invited conference: Harald Baayen, University of Alberta Edmonton,
Canada.

This workshop addresses the morphological productivity of the
constructed lexicon.
The productivity of lexeme construction rules can be treated from two
complementary points of view: qualitative and quantitative.
from a quantitative point of view, a lexeme construction rule,
conceived here as a pattern which generalizes observed data, is
productive when new lexemes, never constructed before or unknown to
the speaker they are produced by, can instanciate it. The difficult
point with this definition is that it requires the use of tools to
measure the productivity of a given rule, since the intuition of the
speaker, even a linguist, is not a reliable criterion.
These last years, the main progress on this question involves not so
much the definition of the notion of productivity as, precisely, the
proposition of measures which help to objectivise and go beyond simple
intuition. As a matter of fact, these measures require various and
complementary competences and involve researchers from theoretical
linguistics, natural language processing, statistics and
psycholinguistics.

The contribution of natural language processing consists of processing
a corpus in order to perform a first selection and prepare data for
further analysis. Classical NLP tools are frequently used, for
instance in tokenisation, part-of-speech tagging or lemmatisation of
corpora.
Nevertheless, morphological analysis tools can be used as well, if
available, to facilitate the final selection of constructed lexemes by
human experts.  Such tools, e.g., Derif (Namer, 2003), are not common
even though their contribution to this task is undeniable.
NLP is also used to automate the computation of productivity values
once the morphological data have been validated.

The role of experts in morphology, semantics and psycholinguistics
consists of determining the status of lexemes selected during the NLP
phase. As a matter of fact, it is important to make a distinction
between types of lexemes such as (i) lexemes which instanciate the
studied morphological pattern, (ii) borrowed lexemes, (iii) lexemes
where the studied pattern does not represent the last morphological
operation, (iv) lexemes where the morphological operation has a
completely formal role, etc.


Submission process: =============

Any proposal related to the topics of the workshop will be considered,
and more particularly works which address the following points:
study of the productivity of a given lexeme construction rule
comparison between the productivities of various lexeme construction
rules relevance of constrasting productivity of lexeme construction
rules and productivity of lexeme realisation rules discussion of
existing measures, proposal of new approaches for computing
morphological productivity.
Moreover, the following questions can be discussed:
Does the study of morpholocal productivity require specific approaches
and resources, or it is possible to reuse methodologies and tools
developed for other needs in NLP (POS taggers, lemmatisers, etc.).
To which extent can tools developed for morphological analysis (Dérif,
Flemm, Automorphology, etc.) be used when studying morphological
productivity.  etc.
Submissions on these questions from the psycholinguistics point of
view are welcome as well. 
Workshop languages: French and English.


Modality of submission: =================================

Submissions must include:
1) An anonymous abstract, in French or in English, of at most 1500
words, excluding bibliography. The whole submission (abstract and
bibliography) should not exceed 5 pages in A4 format, Times 12 pt. The

conclusions of the study. References to previous works in this area
should be mentioned. The most important data which allow to support
the findings should be presented.
2) A separate page with the following information: first and last
names, administrative affiliation, mail address, status, email address
and the title of the submission.

Bonjour,

Vous vous ennuyez entre deux articles, entre deux cours, entre deux  
rédactions de contrats de recherche ?

Il est grand temps pour vous de vous détendre en jouant avec des mots  
(une fois n'étant pas coutume pour les usagers de cette liste...).

Pour cela, connectez vous à :
http://www.lirmm.fr/jeuxdemots/

Vous y trouverez de nombreux jeux où vous pourrez confronter votre  
connaissance de la langue française à celle (peut-être moins  
académique, mais tout aussi respectable) d'autres internautes.

POUR LES SCEPTIQUES, ET PLUS SÉRIEUSEMENT:

"expérimenter les possibilités de la computation humaine appliquée à  
l'apprentissage de données lexicales"). Vos réponses nous  
permettrons, lorsque nous détecterons un accord mutuel entre elles,  
d'inférer un certain nombre de connaissances lexicales que nous  
n'avons pas a priori. Les quelques 200 joueurs actuellement inscrits  
(dont certains jouent très régulièrement) nous permettent de penser  
que l'idée n'est pas forcément aussi idiote qu'elle en a l'air...

Nous serons heureux de vous compter parmi nos joueur, encore plus  
heureux si vous trouvez quelque intérêt à jouer régulièrement, et  
absolument ravis si vous souhaitez  nous faire part de vos idées en  
la matière.

Bonjour,

pour vous rappeler le prochain séminaire de l'équipe Alpage du lundi  
1er octobre 2007,
cordialement,
B.C.

********************* Séminaire Alpage *************************

                Séminaire de l'école doctorale de Paris 7

Il s'agit du séminaire de recherche en linguistique informatique  
organisé par l'équipe Alpage,
Alpage est une nouvelle équipe mixte Inria -- Paris 7 issue de la  
fusion des équipes Atoll et Talana.
L'équipe centre ses intérêts scientifiques autour de l'analyse  
syntaxique automatique et du traitement du discours pour la langue  
française.

Ce séminaire remplace l'ancien séminaire Talana. Il se tient le lundi  
de 14.30 à 16.30 tous les 15 jours.
Il a lieu en salle131 au 30 rue du Chateau des Rentiers 75013 Paris  
(premier étage)
Toute personne intéressée est la bienvenue.

*********************************************************************
1er Octobre 2007 : Attention ! le séminaire aura lieu  
exceptionnellement de 13.30 à 15.30 !

Laurence Danlos (Alpage INRIA et Université Paris 7) nous parlera de
D-STAG: Using Synchronous TAG for Discourse

Résumé de la communication :

We propose a new formalism for discourse, called D-STAG,
which is inspired, on the one hand, by RST and SDRT as discourse  
theories,
on the other hand, by D-LTAG as a formalism which extends a  
sentential TAG syntax/semantic interface to the discourse level.
*********************************************************************
suite du programme  :

15 Octobre 2007 David Reitter (ICCS/HCRC Edinburgh) nous parlera de

                      Call For Papers

 

            ********************************************

           Paper submission: September 3, 2007 

 

            ********************************************

    
** OVERVIEW

 

A two-day workshop on Natural Language Technology will be organised by
the Australasian Language Technology Association (ALTA).  This event
will be the fifth annual installment of the workshop in its
most-recent incarnation, and the continuation of an annual workshop
series that has existed under various guises since the early 90s.

The ALTA Workshop will be held in conjunction with the Australian 
Document Computing Symposium (ADCS), which focuses on issues 
ranging from the fundamentals of document architectures and standards 
for markup, through various aspects of document processing. 

The goals of the workshop are: 

 

 * to bring together the growing Language Technology (LT) community 
   in Australia and New Zealand and encourage interactions; 

 * to encourage interactions and collaboration within this community 
   and with the wider international LT community; 
 * to foster interaction between academic and industrial researchers; 
 * to encourage dissemination of research results; 
 * to provide a forum for the discussion of new and ongoing research 
   and projects; 
 * to provide an opportunity for the broader artificial intelligence 
   community to become aware of local LT research; 
 * to increase visibility of LT research in Australia, New Zealand 
   and overseas. 

 

As with the 2006 Workshop, there will be poster presentations 
in addition to the regular talks, in order to encourage more interactive

discussion of research-in-progress. In this vein, we encourage 
submissions from students describing their thesis work and any 
preliminary results. Note that both publication types will have the 
same status in the proceedings.

 

** Topics

 

We invite the submission of papers on original and unpublished 
research on all aspects of natural language processing, 
including, but not limited to:

 

 * speech understanding and generation; 
 * phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, 
   and discourse; 
 * interpreting and generating spoken and written language; 
 * linguistic, mathematical, and psychological models of language; 
 * language-oriented information extraction and retrieval; 
 * corpus-based and statistical language modelling; 
 * summarisation; 
 * machine translation and translation aids; 
 * natural language interfaces and dialogue systems; 
 * natural language and multimodal systems; 
 * message and narrative understanding systems; 
 * evaluations of language systems; 
 * computational lexicography. 

 

We welcome submissions on any topic that is of interest to the LT 
community, and particularly encourage submissions that broaden the 
scope of our community through the consideration of practical LT 
applications and through multi-disciplinary research. 

 

** Submission Format

 

Submissions should follow the two-column format of the 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 tailored for this year's 
conference. The style files and example documents are available 
from the workshop website. We reserve the right to reject 
submissions that do not conform to these styles including font 
and page size restrictions.

 

The preferred submission format is PDF. If this introduces 
problems, please contact the organisers beforehand.

 

If we cannot print your file by the submission date it will be 
rejected without being reviewed. Therefore you are encouraged 
to send an early version with the typographical complexity of 
your final intended version so that we can check it is printable. 
All papers should include the full authors' names and affiliations. 
(Note that this diverges from the "blind" submission guidelines 
adopted for ACL conferences.)

 

Detailed directions for submission will be made available at 
the workshop website. 

Contact the organisers (workshop AT alta DOT asn DOT au) for 
any questions regarding this process.

 

**Proceedings

 

A proceedings containing all papers (presentations and posters) 
will be produced in paper and/or CD-ROM format. Each format 
will have an ISBN number.


**Important Dates

 

 * Paper submission: September 3, 2007 
 * Submission date for Hons/Ugrad students: Sept 17, 2007 (see below) 
 * Notification of acceptance: October 5, 2007 
 * Camera-ready copy: October 19, 2007 
 * Workshop: December 10-11, 2007 

 

Note that we have instituted a later submission deadline for papers 
with **first-named** authors that are current Honours or Undergraduate 
students. If you qualify for this condition and plan to submit to 
this deadline then you must register an "Intention to Submit" with 
the workshop chairs by the normal submission due date (Sept 8). 
Send an email to the organisers (workshop AT alta DOT asn DOT au) 
with title, authors, and abstract.

Ci-dessous les ?l?ments essentiels ? conna?tre :

________________________________________________________________________

En novembre 1957, le Centre de Philologie romane et de Langue et 
Litt?rature fran?aises contemporaines r?unissait, ? l'Universit? de 
Strasbourg, un colloque intitul? ? Lexicologie et lexicographies 
fran?aises et romanes : orientations et exigences actuelles ?.
Son organisateur, Paul Imbs, l'avait con?u pour lancer son projet de 
nouveau dictionnaire de la langue fran?aise. L'originalit? majeure du 
/Tr?sor de la Langue Fran?aise /qui se d?termine ? cette ?poque aura ?t? 
de se fonder, entre autres sources, sur l'indexation informatique d'un 
riche corpus de textes ?crits entre 1789 et 1960. Depuis, la 
lexicographie n'a cess? de recourir ? l'informatique.
Cinquante ans plus tard, ce nouveau colloque voudrait tirer le bilan de 
cette innovation m?thodologique sur la pratique lexicographique du TLF 
et des travaux lexicographiques qui ont suivi ou qui sont en cours : son 
int?r?t, ses implications, ses cons?quences. Il veut aussi, comme 
c'?tait l'ambition du colloque de 1957, baliser la voie de la 
lexicographie ? venir, celle des projets qui s'?laborent aujourd'hui ou 
que pr?parent de nouvelles recherches.

*Th?mes du colloque *:

- Histoire et bilan m?thodologiques du TLF.
- Les projets lexicographiques dans le sillage du TLF.
- Les grands chantiers lexicographiques actuels et leurs m?thodologies.
- La lexicographie et les objets lexicographiques ? venir.
- Les relations entre lexiques TAL et dictionnaires informatis?s.
- Les applications lexicographiques ?mergentes.

*Les propositions pourront relever des champs disciplinaires suivants* :

- L'histoire et l'?pist?mologie de la lexicographie moderne.
- Les m?thodologies en lexicographie et en constitution de ressources 
dictionnairiques.
- Le TAL et la lexicographie.
- L'ing?ni?rie linguistique et la dictionnairique.
- La lexicographie et le multilinguisme.
- Les rapports entre la lexicographie et les autres disciplines du
  langage.


*Langues du colloque *: fran?ais, anglais.

*S?lection des communications *:

Les propositions de communications, en fran?ais ou en anglais, seront 
jointes dans un fichier attach? au message contenant les coordonn?es 
individuelles. Elles devront ?tre formul?es dans un texte anonyme de 3 ? 
5 pages qui sera soumis ? au moins deux lecteurs du comit? scientifique. 
Une session ? posters ? est ?galement envisageable. Les propositions 
retenues donneront lieu ? des pr?-actes mis ? la disposition des 
participants au colloque. Une s?lection d'articles sera publi?e en un 
volume d'environ 250 ? 300 pages, dans une maison d'?ditions 
scientifiques. Une feuille de style est disponible sur le site de l'ATILF.

Automated Syntactic Annotations for Interoperable Language Resources

		     City University of Hong Kong
			    8 January 2008

The First Workshop on Automated Syntactic Annotations
for Interoperable Language Resources will be held at the First
International Conference on Interoperability for Language Resources,
City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 9-11 January 2008
(http://icgl.ctl.cityu.edu.hk/). This Workshop is organized under the
auspices of ISO TC37/SC4.

We are now able to parse huge amount of data (due to computer speed
increase and parsing optimization) and yet we still do not have more
information than before about the quality of the results. The task is
not easy because the current amount of data does not allow manual
check anymore. A primary aim of the workshop is to identify and
evaluate natural language processing technologies that can be usefully
applied to the creation and annotation of language resources to be
used for practical tasks. Here, usefulness is defined according to, in
addition to accuracy and efficiency, linguistic granularity that the
tools apply and also the degree of compliance to ISO standards to
ensure interoperability. A second aim of the workshop is to see how
language resources can support the development of language processing
applications that are increasingly important to the global society.
Additionally, the situations for different languages are not the same.
At least two important criteria need to be considered for the
evaluation of parsing technologies: 1) the availability of large
corpora for the language, and 2) current mainstream evaluation metrics
may not be suited for that particular language.

We invite papers that demonstrate how to inter-link the results of
(multilingual or monolingual) parsers via the use of common
categories/structures in the resulting annotation, or
categories/structures that can be mapped to one another, and how these
can contribute to the extension of (multilingual or monolingual)
language resources. Pertinent side issues may include the evaluation
of the parsers, the resulting language resources, and the
detection/correction of residual errors. The commonality of categories
can be ensured by a common annotation framework for syntactic
phenomena, by interoperable annotation frameworks, or the mapping of
the results of syntactic parsers into semantic representations that
can be used for linking results of various parsers.

Papers are also invited that discuss parsing requirements to produce
application-specific language resources for tasks such as
syntax-semantics mapping, text markup for the semantic web,
terminology extraction, and ontology construction.

IMPORTANT DATES:

	  Submission deadline:	30 Sept 2007

Ultimately the original thing - with no ripoffs! 
P.E.P. are very hot at the time! 
Well here comes the real thing not a forgery! 
One of the very prominents, absolutely unequalled 
produce is on the market anywhere! 

Pay heed to what people tell on this product: 
"I pleased how quickly your stuff affected on my boyfriend, 
he can't put an end to his talking about how excited he is 
having such new girth, length, and libido!" 
Rita R., San Francisco 

"Firstly I considered the free sample I got was some kind of joke, 
till I actually tried to take the P.E.P. 
I can?t describe describe how highly satisfied I am 
with the consequences from using this patch for 7 brief weeks. 
I will be asking for P.E.P. continually!"

Je vous prie de trouver ci-joint le communiqu? de presse de l'ouvrage que
les ?ditions Hermes - Lavoisier viennent de publier, et qui ne manquera pas
de retenir votre attention.


La production de la parole

Collection TIC et sciences cognitives
dirig?e par Jean-Marie Pierrel

Alain Marchal

Quoi de plus simple et de plus facile apparemment que de parler. Et
pourtant : il n'existe pas d'organe sp?cifique d?di? ? cette
t?che. L'homme, pour parler, emprunte l'usage de syst?mes biologiques
et physiologiques dont la fonction premi?re est toute autre : assurer
la respiration (poumons, trach?e, larynx, voies a?riennes
sup?rieures), permettre l'absorption et la mastication des aliments
(l?vres, dents, langue) et assurer la d?glutition (pharynx,
?piglotte). Sont mobilis?s pour la production des voyelles, des
consonnes et de la prosodie plus de 200 muscles.

Leur action doit ?tre ?troitement contr?l?e afin de r?aliser avec
pr?cision dans le tractus tous les ajustements n?cessaires ? la
production d'une parole intelligible. C'est un processus d'une
extraordinaire complexit?.

Cet ouvrage offre une vision pluridisciplinaire de la parole qui va de
l'anatomie ? la linguistique. Il montre de mani?re compl?te et
accessible comment les possibilit?s phoniques de l'homme sont
exploit?es par les langues du monde.

 

L'auteur

Alain Marchal, directeur de recherche au CNRS, est un sp?cialiste de
la production de la parole. Ses travaux portent ? la fois sur la mise
au point de nouvelles m?thodes d'observation de l'activit? linguale et
sur l'?tude compar?e des ph?nom?nes de coarticulation dans plusieurs
langues.

Nous sommes persuad?s que cet ouvrage ne manquera pas d'int?resser vos
lecteurs et vous remercions par avance de l'accueil que vous saurez lui
r?server.

OVERVIEW

Information extraction (IE) and text summarization (TS) are key
technologies aiming at extracting relevant information from texts and
other sources and presenting the information to the user in condensed
forms. Recent years have witnessed an explosion of information, making
IE and TS particularly important for the information society. These
technologies, however, face new challenges with the adoption of the
Web 2.0 paradigm (e.g. blogs, wikis) because of their inherent
multi-source nature. These technologies have to deal no longer with
isolated texts or single narratives but with large scale repositories,
or sources -- in one or many languages -- containing a multiplicity of
views, opinions, or commentaries on particular topics, entities or
events.  There is thus a need to adapt and/or develop new techniques
to deal with these new phenomena. The ``Multi-source, Multilingual
Information Extraction and Summarization'' workshop will cover the
following questions:



     * What methods are appropriate to detect
similar/complementary/contradictory information? Are hand-crafted
rules and knowledge-rich approaches convenient?

     * What methods are there to tackle cross-document and
cross-lingual entity and event coreference?

     * What machine learning approaches are most appropriate for this
task: supervised/unsupervised/semi-supervised? What type of corpora is
required for training and testing?

     * What techniques are appropriate to produce condensed synthesis
of the extracted information? What generation techniques are useful
here? What kind of techniques can be used to cross domains and
languages?

     * What tools are there to support multi-lingual/multi-source
access to information? What solutions are there beyond full document
translation to produce cross-lingual summaries?

[Apologies for cross-postings]

** extended deadline September 30th **
2nd International Symposium on 

Languages in Biology and Medicine (LBM) 2007 

6-7 December 2007 @ Biopolis, Singapore 

( http://lbm2007.biopathway.org/ ) 

Language is a powerful tool that in its many manifestations is a
system, used for communication, comprising a finite set of arbitrary
symbols and a set of rules (or grammar) by which the manipulation of
these symbols is governed. In biology and medicine, the importance of
languages used to represent knowledge, communicate and query
information is immense. Likewise auxiliary tasks such as translation,
summarization and information extraction play important roles
supporting scientific research. The automation of such tasks has
significantly advanced knowledge discovery in biomedicine.

Incumbent technologies that discover, read and process language are
continually stretched by the vigorous demands of bio-medical
scientists and there is the continual need and incentive for language
techniques to evolve. Despite this, the distinct communities involved
in language processing rarely borrow from one another or look over the
fence to see what other approaches are in use. And yet synergistic
interactions across methodological disciplines and across different
topics are frequently the harbingers of revolutionary technologies. In
this context, it is imperative that we adopt diversification, more
lateral and creative interaction between language professionals.

The International Symposium on Languages in Biology and Medicine (LBM)
2007 seeks to provide a renewed opportunity for interaction between
language professionals with different methodological backgrounds. LBM
was established in 2005 and the remit of this event remains highly
relevant today. The symposium focuses on the languages that are in
active use for biology and medicine. We are calling for original
research papers on, but not limited to the topics listed below. Papers
focusing on application aspects of languages in biology and medicine
are also invited.

  * Natural language: text mining, retrieval and management;

  * Ontology language: ontology construction, extension and
    management;

  * Logic language: knowledge representation and induction; 

  * Sequence language: RNA structure prediction, protein domain
    prediction;

  * Database language: database interface, query language; 

  * Visualization language: information visualization, molecular
    visualization.

LBM2007 will consist of oral paper and poster presentation, invited
speeches and a panel discussion. In addition to on-line conference
proceedings, oral paper presentations will be published in BMC
Bioinformatics and receive a MEDLINE citation.

The symposium is co-located with the International Conference on
Genome Informatics (GIW), which will be held in Singapore from
December 3 to 5, 2007.

Submission of Papers 

Submission should follow BMC instructions for authors which could be
found at http://lbm2007.biopathway.org/PaperSubmission and should not
exceed 14 pages including references. Additional pages could be given
to figures and tables.

Paper review will be double blind, so papers should not include
authors' names and affiliations. Self-references are to be
avoided-instead of "As we showed in Smith et al. 1999...", say "As
Smith et al. 1999 showed...." Paper submission software will allow
authors to enter full author information separately. The paper
submission site is http://www.easychair.org/LBM2007. Manuscripts must
be submitted no later than September 30, 2007.

Important Dates 

Paper submission due: September 30 , 2007 
Notification of acceptance: November 1, 2007 
Camera ready due: November 30 , 2007

Madame, Monsieur,

J'ai le plaisir de vous contacter pour solliciter votre participation
? une enqu?te que l'Union latine m?ne actuellement ? la demande de
l'UNESCO et dont l'objectif est d'alimenter deux annuaires
internationaux sur le multilinguisme qui seront publi?s sur l'Internet
: l'un consacr? aux experts, l'autre aux institutions.

Si vous consid?rez que l'institution pour laquelle vous travaillez
contribue ou est sp?cialis?e dans le multilinguisme, veuillez s'il
vous pla?t remplir le formulaire correspondant aux institutions. De la
m?me mani?re, si de par vos ?tudes ou votre exp?rience
professionnelle, vous vous estimez sp?cialiste en la mati?re, nous
vous invitons ? remplir le formulaire destin? aux experts. N'h?sitez
pas, si vous le jugez pertinent, ? compl?ter les deux questionnaires.

La page d'acc?s aux deux formulaires se trouve ?
http://www.unesco-ci.org/multilingualism/institutions/.  Si toutefois
vous n'?tiez pas en mesure de remplir le formulaire en ligne, nous
vous prierions de bien vouloir nous en informer en nous envoyant un
message ? cette m?me adresse.

Par ailleurs, n'h?sitez pas ? diffuser cette enqu?te aupr?s d'autres
experts et institutions sp?cialis?es dans ce domaine.

L'UNESCO demande des r?sultats en fran?ais ou en anglais. Cependant,
s'il vous est IMPOSSIBLE de r?pondre dans l'une de ces deux langues,
nous pourrons vous fournir un formulaire en catalan, espagnol,
italien, portugais ou roumain. Ce service doit n?anmoins rester
EXCEPTIONNEL, car il impliquerait in?vitablement la traduction de vos
r?ponses par l'Union latine.

Je vous remercie d'avance de votre participation, et me tiens ? votre
disposition pour toute question ?ventuelle.

Veuillez agr?er mes salutations distingu?es,

Daniel Prado
Directeur de la Direction terminologie et industries de la langue
Union latine

LA PRODUCTIVIT? MORPHOLOGIQUE

Date : 10 novembre 2007

Organisation : Georgette Dal (STL, CNRS & Universit? de Lille),
Bernard Fradin (LLF, CNRS & Universit? de Paris 7), Natalia Grabar
(Centre de recherche des Cordeliers, Universit? de Paris 6, INSERM,
Paris).

Lieu : Paris (endroit exact ? pr?ciser)

Conf?rencier invit? : Harald Baayen, University of Alberta Edmonton, Canada.


La pr?sente journ?e est consacr?e ? la question de la productivit?
morphologique dans le domaine du lexique construit.  La productivit?
des r?gles de construction de lex?mes peut ?tre abord?e sous deux
aspects compl?mentaires, l'un qualitatif, l'autre quantitatif.  D'un
point de vue qualitatif, une r?gle de construction de lex?mes, con?ue
ici comme un patron exprimant la g?n?ralisation de donn?es
observables, est dite productive quand de nouveaux lex?mes, jamais
produits auparavant ou inconnus du locuteur qui les a produit, peuvent
l'instancier. La difficult?, avec cette d?finition, est qu'elle
n?cessite de mettre en place des outils pour estimer la productivit?
d'une r?gle donn?e, ?tant entendu que l'intuition du locuteur, f?t-il
linguiste, n'est pas un guide fiable.  Ces derni?res ann?es, la
principale avanc?e sur cette question ne concerne pas tant la
d?finition de la notion elle-m?me que, pr?cis?ment, la proposition de
mesures permettant de l'objectiver et de d?passer la simple
intuition. Or, ces mesures requi?rent des comp?tences diverses et
compl?mentaires, pouvant impliquer des chercheurs en linguistique
th?orique, en traitement automatique des langues, en statistiques et
en psycholinguistique.

L'apport du traitement automatique des langues consiste, ? partir d'un
corpus donn?, ? op?rer un premier tri et ? pr?parer les donn?es sur
lesquelles portera l'analyse. Souvent, on utilise pour ceci des
traitements classiques du TAL, comme la segmentation, l'?tiquetage
morpho-syntaxique ou la lemmatisation. Mais, lorsque les outils qui
effectuent l'analyse morphologique des lex?mes sont disponibles, ils
peuvent ?galement intervenir dans la t?che et aider l'?tape ult?rieure
de s?lection humaine des lex?mes construits. Les outils de ce type,
par exemple Derif (Namer, 2003), sont rares mais leur apport est
ind?niable.
L'apport du TAL est aussi de permettre, une fois qu'il a ?t? statu?
sur les donn?es, d'automatiser les calculs de la productivit?.
L'apport essentiel des sp?cialistes en morphologie, s?mantique et
psycholinguistique consiste ? statuer sur les lex?mes retenus ?
l'issue de la phase pr?c?dente. Lors de la s?lection, on peut
distinguer par exemple les lex?mes (i) qui instancient effectivement
le patron ?tudi?, (ii) les emprunts, (iii) les lex?mes dans lesquels
le proc?d? ?tudi? n'est pas la derni?re op?ration morphologique, (iv)
ceux dans lesquels il joue un r?le purement formel, etc.


Soumissions : =============

Toute proposition en rapport avec la th?matique de la journ?e sera
examin?e.  Il pourra s'agir de recherches portant sur : l'?tude de la
productivit? d'une r?gle de construction de lex?mes donn?e, une
comparaison entre la productivit? de r?gles de constructions de
lex?mes diff?rentes, la pertinence d'opposer r?gles de construction de
lex?mes et r?gles de r?alisation de lex?mes quant ? leur productivit?,
une discussion des mesures existantes ou sur la proposition d'autres
fa?ons de mesurer la productivit? morphologique.  On pourra aussi se
demander :
si l'?tude de la productivit? en morphologie requiert des approches et
ressources qui lui sont propres, ou si l'on peut r?utiliser
l'outillage m?thodologique et logiciel d?velopp? pour d'autres besoins
du TAL (?tiqueteurs, lemmatisateurs, etc.), dans quelle mesure les
outils qui ont d?velopp?s pour l'analyse en morphologie (D?rif, Flemm,
Automorphology, etc.) sont utilisables pour l'?tude de la question de
la productivit? en morphologie, etc.

Les soumissions portant sur le point de vue psycholinguistique sur la
question seront ?galement les bienvenues.
Les langues de communication seront le fran?ais et, au besoin,
l'anglais.

MORPHOLOGICAL PRODUCTIVITY

Date: November 10th 2007

Organization: Georgette Dal (STL, CNRS & Universit? de Lille), Bernard
Fradin (LLF, CNRS & Universit? de Paris 7), Natalia Grabar (Centre de
recherche des Cordeliers, Universit? de Paris 6, INSERM, Paris).

Place: Paris (to be specified)

Invited conference: Harald Baayen, University of Alberta Edmonton, Canada.

This workshop addresses the morphological productivity of the
constructed lexicon.
The productivity of lexeme construction rules can be treated from two
complementary points of view: qualitative and quantitative.
from a quantitative point of view, a lexeme construction rule,
conceived here as a pattern which generalizes observed data, is
productive when new lexemes, never constructed before or unknown to
the speaker they are produced by, can instanciate it. The difficult
point with this definition is that it requires the use of tools to
measure the productivity of a given rule, since the intuition of the
speaker, even a linguist, is not a reliable criterion.  These last
years, the main progress on this question involves not so much the
definition of the notion of productivity as, precisely, the
proposition of measures which help to objectivise and go beyond simple
intuition. As a matter of fact, these measures require various and
complementary competences and involve researchers from theoretical
linguistics, natural language processing, statistics and
psycholinguistics.

The contribution of natural language processing consists of processing
a corpus in order to perform a first selection and prepare data for
further analysis. Classical NLP tools are frequently used, for
instance in tokenisation, part-of-speech tagging or lemmatisation of
corpora.
Nevertheless, morphological analysis tools can be used as well, if
available, to facilitate the final selection of constructed lexemes by
human experts.  Such tools, e.g., Derif (Namer, 2003), are not common
even though their contribution to this task is undeniable.
NLP is also used to automate the computation of productivity values
once the morphological data have been validated.

The role of experts in morphology, semantics and psycholinguistics
consists of determining the status of lexemes selected during the NLP
phase. As a matter of fact, it is important to make a distinction
between types of lexemes such as (i) lexemes which instanciate the
studied morphological pattern, (ii) borrowed lexemes, (iii) lexemes
where the studied pattern does not represent the last morphological
operation, (iv) lexemes where the morphological operation has a
completely formal role, etc.


Submission process: =============

Any proposal related to the topics of the workshop will be considered,
and more particularly works which address the following points:
study of the productivity of a given lexeme construction rule
comparison between the productivities of various lexeme construction
rules relevance of constrasting productivity of lexeme construction
rules and productivity of lexeme realisation rules discussion of
existing measures, proposal of new approaches for computing
morphological productivity.
Moreover, the following questions can be discussed:
Does the study of morpholocal productivity require specific approaches
and resources, or it is possible to reuse methodologies and tools
developed for other needs in NLP (POS taggers, lemmatisers, etc.).
To which extent can tools developed for morphological analysis (D?rif,
Flemm, Automorphology, etc.) be used when studying morphological
productivity.  etc.
Submissions on these questions from the psycholinguistics point of
view are welcome as well. 
Workshop languages: French and English.


Modality of submission: =================================

Submissions must include:
1) An anonymous abstract, in French or in English, of at most 1500
words, excluding bibliography. The whole submission (abstract and
bibliography) should not exceed 5 pages in A4 format, Times 12 pt. The
abstract should clearly state the topic addressed and specify the main
conclusions of the study. References to previous works in this area
should be mentioned. The most important data which allow to support
the findings should be presented.
2) A separate page with the following information: first and last
names, administrative affiliation, mail address, status, email address
and the title of the submission.

MAIN CONFERENCE: 28-29-30 MAY 2008

WORKSHOPS and TUTORIALS: 26-27 MAY and 31 MAY- 1 JUNE 2008
Conference web site: http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2008/  

The sixth international conference on Language Resources and
Evaluation (LREC) will be organised in 2008 by ELRA in cooperation
with a wide range of international associations and organisations,
including AAMT, AMTA, ACL, ALTA, COCOSDA and Oriental COCOSDA, EACL,

SIGLEX, TEI, Technolangue French Program, WRITE and with major
national and international organisations including the European
Commission - Information Society and Media, Unit E.2 "Content and
Knowledge".

 

*CONFERENCE AIMS*

In 10 years - the first LREC was held in Granada in 1998 - LREC has
become the major event on Language Resources (LRs) and Evaluation for
Human Language Technologies (HLT). The aim of LREC is to provide an
overview of the state-of-the-art, explore new R&D directions and
emerging trends, exchange information regarding LRs and their
applications, evaluation methodologies and tools, ongoing and planned
activities, industrial uses and needs, requirements coming from the
e-society, both with respect to policy issues and to technological and
organisational ones.

LREC provides a unique forum for researchers, industrials and funding
agencies from across a wide spectrum of areas to discuss problems and
opportunities, find new synergies and promote initiatives for
international cooperation, in support to investigations in language
sciences, progress in language technologies and development of
corresponding products, services and applications, and standards.

 
*CONFERENCE TOPICS*

 Issues in the design, construction and use of Language Resources
(LRs): text, speech, multimodality

 
- Guidelines, standards, specifications, models and best practices for
  LRs

- Methodologies and tools for LRs construction and annotation

- Methodologies and tools for the extraction and acquisition of
  knowledge

- Ontologies and knowledge representation

- Terminology

- Integration between (multilingual) LRs, ontologies and Semantic Web
  technologies

- Metadata descriptions of LRs and metadata for semantic/content
  markup

Exploitation of LRs in different types of systems and applications

 

- For: information extraction, information retrieval, speech
dictation, mobile communication, machine translation, summarisation,
web services, semantic search, text mining, inferencing, reasoning,
etc.

- In different types of interfaces: (speech-based) dialogue systems,
natural language and multimodal/multisensorial interactions, voice
activated services, etc.

- Communication with neighbouring fields of applications, e.g.
e-government, e-culture, e-health, e-participation, mobile
applications, etc.

- Industrial LRs requirements, user needs

 

Issues in Human Language Technologies evaluation

- HLT Evaluation methodologies, protocols and measures

- Validation, quality assurance, evaluation of LRs

- Benchmarking of systems and products

- Usability evaluation of HLT-based user interfaces, interactions and
dialogue systems

- Usability and user satisfaction evaluation

 

General issues regarding LRs & Evaluation

- National and international activities and projects

- Priorities, perspectives, strategies in national and international
policies for LRs

- Open architectures

- Organisational, economical and legal issues

 

*_Special Highlights_*

 
LREC targets the integration of different types of LRs - spoken,
written, and other modalities - and of the respective communities. To
this end, LREC encourages submissions covering issues which are common
to different types of LRs and language technologies.

 
LRs are currently developed and deployed in a much wider range of
applications and domains. LREC 2008 recognises the need to encompass
all those data that interact with language resources in an attempt to
model more complex human processes and develop more complex systems,
and encourages submissions on topics such as:

- Multimodal and multimedia systems, for Human-Machine interfaces,
Human-Human interactions, and content processing

- Resources for modelling language-related cognitive processes,
including emotions

- Interaction/Association of language and perception data, also for
robotic systems

 

 *PROGRAMME*

 
The Scientific Programme will include invited talks, oral
presentations, poster and demo presentations, and panels.
*There is no difference in quality between oral and poster
presentations. Only the appropriateness of the type of communication
(more or less interactive) to the content of the paper will be
considered.*

Journ?e th?matique ATALA sur la Traduction Automatique

         Date : samedi 1er d?cembre 2007.
         Lieu : Lieu ? pr?ciser ult?rieurement (Paris)
Organisation : Holger Schwenk, LIUM, Universit? du Maine

Dates importantes :
  - Date limite de soumission : 07 novembre 2007
  - Date de notification aux auteurs : 21 novembre 2007
  - Date pour les versions finales : 27 novembre 2007

Objectifs de la journ?e

Dans notre monde de communication ? l'?chelle mondiale, la traduction
automatique ou assist?e par ordinateur est devenue une technologie
clef.  Il s'agit d'une t?che scientifique complexe faisant intervenir
pratiquement tous les aspects du traitement du langage naturel.  Ces
derni?res ann?es, diff?rentes approches ont ?t? propos?es et de
nombreuses conf?rences internationales y consacrent des sessions
sp?ciales. On peut ?galement citer les projets europ?ens Tc-Star et
EuroMatrix qui abordent la traduction des d?bats du parlement
europ?en.

Le but de cette journ?e est de r?unir tous les chercheurs francophones
et membres de laboratoires de recherche industriels qui travaillent
sur des probl?matiques autour de la traduction automatique. Les
diverses approches poursuivies seront discut?es de fa?on d?taill?e
afin de positionner les activit?s de recherche en France par rapport
aux tendances au niveau international. Il est ?galement esp?r? que ces
journ?es encourageront de futurs coop?rations.

Toutes les r?flexions et ?tudes autour de la traduction automatique de
textes sont int?ressantes pour cette journ?e.  
Voici une liste non exhaustive d'axes :

   - Description de syst?mes complets
   - Avanc?es dans la th?orie et l'utilisation d'une approche
     particuli?re (par r?gles, bas?e sur des exemples, statistique,
     ...)
   - Syst?mes hybrides, par exemple linguistique et statistique
   - D?veloppement et utilisation de ressources pour la traduction
     (lexiques, textes parall?les, WEB, ...


Les articles sont limit?s ? une longueur de 8 pages. Des feuilles de
style sont disponibles sur demande.  Il est pr?vu de distribuer les
articles et ressources sur le site de l'ATALA ou sous forme d'un CD.

Bonjour ? tous,

veuillez trouver ci-dessous le programme du s?minaire Alpage.
pour le premier semestre.

********************* S?minaire Alpage  
***********************************

                S?minaire de l'?cole doctorale de Paris 7

Il s'agit du s?minaire de recherche en linguistique informatique
organis? par l'?quipe Alpage,
Alpage est une nouvelle ?quipe mixte Inria -- Paris 7 issue de la
fusion des ?quipes Atoll et Talana.
L'?quipe centre ses int?r?ts scientifiques autour de l'analyse
syntaxique automatique et du traitement du discours pour la langue
fran?aise.

Ce s?minaire remplace l'ancien s?minaire Talana. Il se tient le lundi
de 14.30 ? 16.30 tous les 15 jours.
Il a lieu en salle131 au 30 rue du Chateau des Rentiers 75013 Paris  
(premier ?tage)
Toute personne int?ress?e est la bienvenue.

Programme pr?visionnel :

************************************************************************ 
******
1er Octobre 2007 : Attention ! le s?minaire aura lieu  
exceptionnellement de 13.30 ? 15.30 !

Laurence Danlos (Alpage INRIA et Universit? Paris 7) nous parlera de
D-STAG: Using Synchronous TAG for Discourse

R?sum? de la communication :

We propose a new formalism for discourse, called D-STAG,
which is inspired, on the one hand, by RST and SDRT as discourse  
theories,
on the other hand, by D-LTAG as a formalism which extends a  
sentential TAG syntax/semantic interface to the discourse level.

David Reitter (ICCS/HCRC Edinburgh) nous parlera de
Syntactic priming in corpora as evidence for the sentence production  
architecture

R?sum? de la communication :

Structural priming is the tendency to repeat syntactic material in  
the comprehension or production of language. For instance, speakers  
have been shown to re-use the structure of a verbal complement after  
a prime, e.g., either "gave Vera the book" vs. "gave the book to  
Vera" (e.g., Bock 1986, Pickering and Branigan 1989). I present a  
series of corpus-based studies that exploit syntactic priming effects  
as evidence for structural analyses. Using two statistical methods, I  
demonstrate a short-term and a long-term form of priming.

Language production has been shown to vary in its incrementality. On  
a syntactic level, Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG, Steedman  
2000) provides a computational, symbolic account of syntax allowing  
incremental and non-incremental derivations. Syntactic priming can  
provide us with tests of the flexible constituent structure that CCG  
predicts. For instance, we can test for structure that varies in its  
incrementality and, and for combinatory subcategorization and  
linearization information. Using the notion of "distituents" from the  
unsupervised-parsing literature, we can show that priming actually  
acts on structural representations and not just on arbitrary n-grams.  
The above work has led to a cognitive model of (basic) sentence  
realization in the ACT-R framework, based on combinatory grammar,  
which explains priming as a form of learning.

************************************************************************

29 Octobre 2007

Natalie Schluter (NCLT Dublin) nous parlera de :
Probabilistic parsing of French and automatic acquisition of LFG  
resources.

R?sum? de la communication :

In this talk, I put into question the role of lexicalisation in the  
parsing of French, in the wake of a restructured and corrected French  
Treebank. I also present my work on the automatic acquisition of  
probabilistic LFG resources for French.

Dans ce s?minaire, je remettrai en question le r?le de la  
lexicalisation dans l'analyse automatique du fran?ais ? la lumi?re  
d'un corpus arbor? fran?ais, restructur? et corrig?. Aussi, je  
pr?senterai mon travail sur l'acquisition automatique de resources  
probabilistes dans le cadre de LFG pour le fran?ais.

************************************************************************

12 Novembre 2007

Philippe Langlais (RALI IRO Montreal) nous parlera de :
Traduction de mots inconnus par apprentissage analogique.

R?sum? de la communication :

La pr?sence de mots inconnus dans les applications langagi?res  
repr?sente un d?fi de taille bien connu auquel n'?chappe pas la  
traduction automatique. Les syst?mes professionnels de traduction  
offrent ? cet effet ? leurs utilisateurs la possibilit? d'enrichir un  
lexique de base avec de nouvelles entr?es. R?cemment, Stroppa et Yvon  
(2005) et (2006) d?montraient l'int?r?t du raisonnement par analogie  
pour l'analyse morphologique d'une langue. Dans l'?tude pr?sent?e  
ici, nous montrons que le raisonnement par analogie offre ?galement  
une r?ponse adapt?e au probl?me de la traduction d'entit?s (mots ou  
s?quences de mots) inconnues.

       Post-doctoral scientist in Natural Language Processing,
                         University of Geneva

The University of Geneva, Departments of Computer Science and
Linguistics, invite applications for a post-doctoral research
assistant position in natural language processing.  The successful
candidate will be part of the EU-funded project CLASSiC (subject to
successful completion of negotiations).  He/she will investigate
statistical methods for natural language understanding in the context
of spoken dialog systems.

The CLASSiC project will target a more natural form of interaction in
spoken dialog systems through the integrated statistical treatment of
uncertainty.  Machine learning and statistical methods will be applied
to all modules of the system, and explicit representations of
uncertainty (e.g. from speech recognition ambiguities) will facilitate
the optimal use of constraining information (e.g. from dialog
contexts).  The other project partners are the University of
Edinburgh, Cambridge University, Ecole Superieure d'Electricite
(Supelec, Metz), and France Telecom.

At the University of Geneva, the project will be lead by Paola Merlo
(Department of Linguistics, http://www.unige.ch/lettres/linguistique/)
and James Henderson (Department of Computer Science,
http://cui.unige.ch/DI/).  Work will focus on models of spoken
language understanding which integrate statistical models of
syntactic-semantic parsing for both English and French.  Parallel
corpora will be used to help map models and resources between the two
languages.  The successful candidate will be expected to participate
in this project, plus engage in research of their own choosing.

Applicants should have received a PhD in Computer Science or
Computational Linguistics by the start of the project.  The ideal
candidate will have a background in natural language processing,
statistical methods, machine learning, natural language syntax, and
natural language semantics.  Good programming skills are required.
Knowledge of English and French is highly desirable, and fluency in
one is required.

The appointment is initially for a fixed term of 3 years, with a start
date soon after 1 January 2008.  Salary from 82,800 CHF.

Review of the applicants will begin October 12th, 2007 but will
continue until the position is filled.

Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a statement of research
interest, and names and addresses of at least 3 references to Paola
Merlo at:

Paola Merlo
Linguistics Department
University of Geneva
5 rue de Candolle
CH-1211 Geneve 4
Switzerland

Electronic applications are also accepted. Send your application to
merlo at lettres.unige.ch with CLASSIC Postdoc as the subject line.

Informal inquiries can be addressed to James Henderson
(james.henderson at ed.ac.uk) or to Paola Merlo (merlo at lettres.unige.ch).
 

The University of Geneva wishes to increase the proportion of female
academic staff and, for this reason, especially welcomes applications
from women.

Perl pour les linguistes : programmes en Perl pour exploiter les
donn?es langagi?res

Ludovic Tanguy et Nabil Hathout

Editions Herm?s 2007
Collection TIC et sciences cognitives
dirig?e par Jean-Marie Pierrel


R?sum? : 

Adress? aux linguistes qui souhaitent travailler sur corpus, cet
ouvrage de programmation en Perl analyse, d'un point de vue pratique,
les principales techniques informatiques d'exploitation des donn?es
textuelles et lexicales ? des fins linguistiques.

Accessible sans connaissances pr?alables en informatique gr?ce ? une
approche progressive et didactique, Perl pour les linguistes propose
des programmes directement applicables et pouvant ?tre adapt?s ? un
grand nombre de besoins. Il contient une pr?sentation des diff?rentes
donn?es utilisables (types, formats et principales sources
disponibles) ainsi qu'une prise en main du langage de programmation
Perl et des expressions r?guli?res. L'accent est mis sur les m?thodes
de base (recherche de mots ou de s?quences, calculs de fr?quences,
op?rations sur les lexiques), avant d'aborder des probl?matiques plus
avanc?es comme la manipulation de donn?es structur?es en XML et
l'exploitation du Web comme source de donn?es linguistiques.

Un environnement de travail complet ainsi que tous les programmes
pr?sent?s sont disponibles sur un site Web d'accompagnement.

Conf?rence TIA les 8 et 9 octobre
Atelier "Ontologies et Textes" le 10 octobre
http://www-sop.inria.fr/acacia/tia2007/atelier.html

Pr?sentation de la conf?rence

Depuis plus d'une d?cennie, le groupe TIA aborde le vaste champ des
questions terminologiques en confrontant et en conjuguant les
diff?rentes disciplines concern?es : linguistique, traitement
automatique des langues, intelligence artificielle, sciences de
l'information, ing?nierie des connaissances, etc.

Dans tous les domaines, les documents sont porteurs de connaissances
et servent de support ? leur m?morisation et ? leur transmission. Dans
les domaines scientifiques ou techniques (qu'il s'agisse de m?decine,
de fabrication a?ronautique, de m?thodes ?ducatives, etc.), le r?le
des termes est crucial. L'extension du r?seau internet et la
mondialisation ont acc?l?r? le partage de documents ?crits entre
cultures et donc, entre langues, mais aussi entre domaines. Ce
ph?nom?ne fait ?merger de nouveaux probl?mes lors de l'appropriation
de connaissances exog?nes par une communaut? rassembl?e autour d'un
th?me.  Les journ?es TIA 2007 seront particuli?rement focalis?es sur
la migration des termes qui peut ?tre comprise comme passage d'une
langue ? une autre, d'un domaine ? un autre, d'une application ? une
autre, ou encore comme une ?volution dans le temps.

*LREC 2008 -  6th Language Resources and Evaluation Conference*

*   SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS*

 

Palais des Congr?s Mansour Eddahbi, MARRAKECH - MOROCCO

MAIN CONFERENCE: 28-29-30 MAY 2008

WORKSHOPS and TUTORIALS: 26-27 MAY and 31 MAY- 1 JUNE 2008
Conference web site: http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2008/ 


The sixth international conference on Language Resources and
Evaluation (LREC) will be organised in 2008 by ELRA in cooperation
with a wide range of international associations and organisations,
including AAMT, AMTA, ACL, AFNLP, ALTA, COCOSDA and Oriental COCOSDA,
EACL, EAMT, ELSNET, EURALEX, GWA, IAMT, KnowledgeWeb, LDC, NEMLAR
Network, SIGLEX, TEI, Technolangue French Program, WRITE and with
major national and international organisations including the European
Commission - Information Society and Media, Unit E.2 "Content and
Knowledge".

 

*CONFERENCE AIMS *

In 10 years - the first LREC was held in Granada in 1998 - LREC has
become the major event on Language Resources (LRs) and Evaluation for
Human Language Technologies (HLT). The aim of LREC is to provide an
overview of the state-of-the-art, explore new R&D directions and
emerging trends, exchange information regarding LRs and their
applications, evaluation methodologies and tools, ongoing and planned
activities, industrial uses and needs, requirements coming from the
e-society, both with respect to policy issues and to technological and
organisational ones.

LREC provides a unique forum for researchers, industrials and funding
agencies from across a wide spectrum of areas to discuss problems and
opportunities, find new synergies and promote initiatives for
international cooperation, in support to investigations in language
sciences, progress in language technologies and development of
corresponding products, services and applications, and standards.

 
*CONFERENCE TOPICS *

  Issues in the design, construction and use of Language Resources
(LRs): text, speech, multimodality

 
- Guidelines, standards, specifications, models and best practices for
  LRs

- Methodologies and tools for LRs construction and annotation

- Methodologies and tools for the extraction and acquisition of
  knowledge

- Ontologies and knowledge representation

- Terminology

- Integration between (multilingual) LRs, ontologies and Semantic Web
  technologies

- Metadata descriptions of LRs and metadata for semantic/content
  markup

Exploitation of LRs in different types of systems and applications

 

- For: information extraction, information retrieval, speech
dictation, mobile communication, machine translation, summarisation,
web services, semantic search, text mining, inferencing, reasoning,
etc.

- In different types of interfaces: (speech-based) dialogue systems,
natural language and multimodal/multisensorial interactions, voice
activated services, etc.

- Communication with neighbouring fields of applications, e.g.
e-government, e-culture, e-health, e-participation, mobile
applications, etc.

- Industrial LRs requirements, user needs

 

Issues in Human Language Technologies evaluation

- HLT Evaluation methodologies, protocols and measures

- Validation, quality assurance, evaluation of LRs

- Benchmarking of systems and products

- Usability evaluation of HLT-based user interfaces, interactions and
dialogue systems

- Usability and user satisfaction evaluation

 

General issues regarding LRs & Evaluation

- National and international activities and projects

- Priorities, perspectives, strategies in national and international
policies for LRs

- Open architectures

- Organisational, economical and legal issues

 

* Special Highlights *

 
LREC targets the integration of different types of LRs - spoken,
written, and other modalities - and of the respective communities. To
this end, LREC encourages submissions covering issues which are common
to different types of LRs and language technologies.

 
LRs are currently developed and deployed in a much wider range of
applications and domains. LREC 2008 recognises the need to encompass
all those data that interact with language resources in an attempt to
model more complex human processes and develop more complex systems,
and encourages submissions on topics such as:

- Multimodal and multimedia systems, for Human-Machine interfaces,
Human-Human interactions, and content processing

- Resources for modelling language-related cognitive processes,
including emotions

- Interaction/Association of language and perception data, also for
robotic systems

 

  *PROGRAMME *

 
The Scientific Programme will include invited talks, oral
presentations, poster and demo presentations, and panels.
*There is no difference in quality between oral and poster
presentations. Only the appropriateness of the type of communication
(more or less interactive) to the content of the paper will be
considered. *

 

*ABSTRACT SUBMISSION *

240 pages -- 30 euros

"L?ouvrage que j'ai le plaisir de prefacer est, a mon sens,
indispensable a tout lecteur un peu exigeant de Benveniste. Il sera
desormais bien difficile de parler de l'enonciation chez Benveniste
sans se referer a Aya Ono."  (Michel Arrive)

"L'etude d'Aya Ono ne peut que susciter admiration et respect par
l'ampleur des recherches qu'elle suppose, l'obstination a dechiffrer
ces textes plus obscurs qu'on ne le croit d'habitude et l'interet
constamment renouvele d'une lecture ou chaque question en souleve de
nouvelles" (Claudine Normand)

 Automated Syntactic Annotations for Interoperable Language Resources

		     City University of Hong Kong
			    8 January 2008
	 http://icgl.ctl.cityu.edu.hk/2008/html/workshop.jsp


The First Workshop on "Automated Syntactic Annotations for
Interoperable Language Resources" will be held at the First
International Conference on Interoperability for Language Resources,
City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 9-11 January 2008
(http://icgl.ctl.cityu.edu.hk/). This Workshop is organized under the
auspices of ISO TC37/SC4.

We are now able to parse huge amount of data (due to computer speed
increase and parsing optimization) and yet we still do not have more
information than before about the quality of the results. The task is
not easy because the current amount of data does not allow manual
check anymore. A primary aim of the workshop is to identify and
evaluate natural language processing technologies that can be usefully
applied to the creation and annotation of language resources to be
used for practical tasks. Here, usefulness is defined according to, in
addition to accuracy and efficiency, linguistic granularity that the
tools apply and also the degree of compliance to ISO standards to
ensure interoperability. A second aim of the workshop is to see how
language resources can support the development of language processing
applications that are increasingly important to the global society.
Additionally, the situations for different languages are not the same.
At least two important criteria need to be considered for the
evaluation of parsing technologies: 1) the availability of large
corpora for the language, and 2) current mainstream evaluation metrics
may not be suited for that particular language.

We invite papers that demonstrate how to inter-link the results of
(multilingual or monolingual) parsers via the use of common
categories/structures in the resulting annotation, or
categories/structures that can be mapped to one another, and how these
can contribute to the extension of (multilingual or monolingual)
language resources. Pertinent side issues may include the evaluation
of the parsers, the resulting language resources, and the
detection/correction of residual errors. The commonality of categories
can be ensured by a common annotation framework for syntactic
phenomena, by interoperable annotation frameworks, or the mapping of
the results of syntactic parsers into semantic representations that
can be used for linking results of various parsers.

Papers are also invited that discuss parsing requirements to produce
application-specific language resources for tasks such as
syntax-semantics mapping, text markup for the semantic web,
terminology extraction, and ontology construction.

La journ?e ATALA sur 
LA PRODUCTIVIT? MORPHOLOGIQUE

Date : 10 novembre 2007

Organisation : Georgette Dal (STL, CNRS & Universit? de Lille), Bernard
Fradin (LLF, CNRS & Universit? de Paris 7), Natalia Grabar (Centre de
recherche des Cordeliers, Universit? de Paris 6, INSERM, Paris).

Lieu : Paris (endroit exact ? pr?ciser)

Conf?rencier invit? : Harald Baayen, University of Alberta Edmonton,
Canada.


La pr?sente journ?e est consacr?e ? la question de la productivit?
morphologique dans le domaine du lexique construit.
La productivit? des r?gles de construction de lex?mes peut ?tre
abord?e sous deux aspects compl?mentaires, l'un qualitatif, l'autre
quantitatif.
D'un point de vue qualitatif, une r?gle de construction de lex?mes,
con?ue ici comme un patron exprimant la g?n?ralisation de donn?es
observables, est dite productive quand de nouveaux lex?mes, jamais
produits auparavant ou inconnus du locuteur qui les a produit, peuvent
l'instancier. La difficult?, avec cette d?finition, est qu'elle
n?cessite de mettre en place des outils pour estimer la productivit?
d'une r?gle donn?e, ?tant entendu que l'intuition du locuteur, f?t-il
linguiste, n'est pas un guide fiable.
Ces derni?res ann?es, la principale avanc?e sur cette question ne
concerne pas tant la d?finition de la notion elle-m?me que,
pr?cis?ment, la proposition de mesures permettant de l'objectiver et
de d?passer la simple intuition. Or, ces mesures requi?rent des
comp?tences diverses et compl?mentaires, pouvant impliquer des
chercheurs en linguistique th?orique, en traitement automatique des
langues, en statistiques et en psycholinguistique.

L'apport du traitement automatique des langues consiste, ? partir d'un
corpus donn?, ? op?rer un premier tri et ? pr?parer les donn?es sur
lesquelles portera l'analyse. Souvent, on utilise pour ceci des
traitements classiques du TAL, comme la segmentation, l'?tiquetage
morpho-syntaxique ou la lemmatisation. Mais, lorsque les outils qui
effectuent l'analyse morphologique des lex?mes sont disponibles, ils
peuvent ?galement intervenir dans la t?che et aider l'?tape ult?rieure
de s?lection humaine des lex?mes construits. Les outils de ce type,
par exemple Derif (Namer, 2003), sont rares mais leur apport est
ind?niable.
L'apport du TAL est aussi de permettre, une fois qu'il a ?t? statu?
sur les donn?es, d'automatiser les calculs de la productivit?.
L'apport essentiel des sp?cialistes en morphologie, s?mantique et
psycholinguistique consiste ? statuer sur les lex?mes retenus ?
l'issue de la phase pr?c?dente. Lors de la s?lection, on peut
distinguer par exemple les lex?mes (i) qui instancient effectivement
le patron ?tudi?, (ii) les emprunts, (iii) les lex?mes dans lesquels
le proc?d? ?tudi? n'est pas la derni?re op?ration morphologique, (iv)
ceux dans lesquels il joue un r?le purement formel, etc.


Soumissions : =============

Toute proposition en rapport avec la th?matique de la journ?e sera
examin?e.  Il pourra s'agir de recherches portant sur :

l'?tude de la productivit? d'une r?gle de construction de lex?mes
donn?e, une comparaison entre la productivit? de r?gles de
constructions de lex?mes diff?rentes, la pertinence d'opposer r?gles
de construction de lex?mes et r?gles de r?alisation de lex?mes quant ?
leur productivit?, une discussion des mesures existantes ou sur la
proposition d'autres fa?ons de mesurer la productivit? morphologique.

On pourra aussi se demander :
si l'?tude de la productivit? en morphologie requiert des approches et
ressources qui lui sont propres, ou si l'on peut r?utiliser
l'outillage m?thodologique et logiciel d?velopp? pour d'autres besoins
du TAL (?tiqueteurs, lemmatisateurs, etc.), dans quelle mesure les
outils qui ont d?velopp?s pour l'analyse en morphologie (D?rif, Flemm,
Automorphology, etc.) sont utilisables pour l'?tude de la question de
la productivit? en morphologie, etc.
Les soumissions portant sur le point de vue psycholinguistique sur la
question seront ?galement les bienvenues.

l'anglais.

ATALA workshop on 
MORPHOLOGICAL PRODUCTIVITY

Date: November 10th 2007

Organization: Georgette Dal (STL, CNRS & Universit? de Lille), Bernard
Fradin (LLF, CNRS & Universit? de Paris 7), Natalia Grabar (Centre de
recherche des Cordeliers, Universit? de Paris 6, INSERM, Paris).

Place: Paris (to be specified)

Invited conference: Harald Baayen, University of Alberta Edmonton,
Canada.

This workshop addresses the morphological productivity of the
constructed lexicon.
The productivity of lexeme construction rules can be treated from two
complementary points of view: qualitative and quantitative.
from a quantitative point of view, a lexeme construction rule,
conceived here as a pattern which generalizes observed data, is
productive when new lexemes, never constructed before or unknown to
the speaker they are produced by, can instanciate it. The difficult
point with this definition is that it requires the use of tools to
measure the productivity of a given rule, since the intuition of the
speaker, even a linguist, is not a reliable criterion.
These last years, the main progress on this question involves not so
much the definition of the notion of productivity as, precisely, the
proposition of measures which help to objectivise and go beyond simple
intuition. As a matter of fact, these measures require various and
complementary competences and involve researchers from theoretical
linguistics, natural language processing, statistics and
psycholinguistics.

The contribution of natural language processing consists of processing
a corpus in order to perform a first selection and prepare data for
further analysis. Classical NLP tools are frequently used, for
instance in tokenisation, part-of-speech tagging or lemmatisation of
corpora.
Nevertheless, morphological analysis tools can be used as well, if
available, to facilitate the final selection of constructed lexemes by
human experts.  Such tools, e.g., Derif (Namer, 2003), are not common
even though their contribution to this task is undeniable.
NLP is also used to automate the computation of productivity values
once the morphological data have been validated.

The role of experts in morphology, semantics and psycholinguistics
consists of determining the status of lexemes selected during the NLP
phase. As a matter of fact, it is important to make a distinction
between types of lexemes such as (i) lexemes which instanciate the
studied morphological pattern, (ii) borrowed lexemes, (iii) lexemes
where the studied pattern does not represent the last morphological
operation, (iv) lexemes where the morphological operation has a
completely formal role, etc.


Submission process: =============

Any proposal related to the topics of the workshop will be considered,
and more particularly works which address the following points:
study of the productivity of a given lexeme construction rule
comparison between the productivities of various lexeme construction
rules relevance of constrasting productivity of lexeme construction
rules and productivity of lexeme realisation rules discussion of
existing measures, proposal of new approaches for computing
morphological productivity.
Moreover, the following questions can be discussed:
Does the study of morpholocal productivity require specific approaches
and resources, or it is possible to reuse methodologies and tools
developed for other needs in NLP (POS taggers, lemmatisers, etc.).
To which extent can tools developed for morphological analysis (D?rif,
Flemm, Automorphology, etc.) be used when studying morphological
productivity.  etc.
Submissions on these questions from the psycholinguistics point of
view are welcome as well. 
Workshop languages: French and English.


Modality of submission: =================================

Submissions must include:
1) An anonymous abstract, in French or in English, of at most 1500
words, excluding bibliography. The whole submission (abstract and
bibliography) should not exceed 5 pages in A4 format, Times 12 pt. The
abstract should clearly state the topic addressed and specify the main
conclusions of the study. References to previous works in this area
should be mentioned. The most important data which allow to support
the findings should be presented.
2) A separate page with the following information: first and last
names, administrative affiliation, mail address, status, email address
and the title of the submission.

Submissions should be sent by email (.pdf format) to
productivite at linguist.jussieu.fr. Please send the abstract and the
author page as two separate files, the first should be named
name.abstact.pdf and the second name.perso.pdf, where "name" will be
replaced by the name of the submitting or contact author. Deadline:
October 15th 2007. (Only one abstract per author will be accepted.)


Submissions will be double blind reviewed by the scientific committee.

Bonjour,

Vous vous ennuyez entre deux articles, entre deux cours, entre deux  
r?dactions de contrats de recherche ?

Il est grand temps pour vous de vous d?tendre en jouant avec des mots  
(une fois n'?tant pas coutume pour les usagers de cette liste...).

Pour cela, connectez vous ? :
http://www.lirmm.fr/jeuxdemots/

Vous y trouverez de nombreux jeux o? vous pourrez confronter votre  
connaissance de la langue fran?aise ? celle (peut-?tre moins  
acad?mique, mais tout aussi respectable) d'autres internautes.

POUR LES SCEPTIQUES, ET PLUS S?RIEUSEMENT:
-----------------------------------------

Ce site web a ?t? mont? de toutes pi?ces par Mathieu Lafourcade pour  
exp?rimenter concr?tement une id?e idiote qui nous titillait depuis  
un certain temps : Apprendre des donn?es lexicales ? partir de jeux  
faits par des humains (en termes plus s?rieux nous dirions:  
"exp?rimenter les possibilit?s de la computation humaine appliqu?e ?  
l'apprentissage de donn?es lexicales"). Vos r?ponses nous  
permettrons, lorsque nous d?tecterons un accord mutuel entre elles,  
d'inf?rer un certain nombre de connaissances lexicales que nous  
n'avons pas a priori. Les quelques 200 joueurs actuellement inscrits  
(dont certains jouent tr?s r?guli?rement) nous permettent de penser  
que l'id?e n'est pas forc?ment aussi idiote qu'elle en a l'air...

Nous serons heureux de vous compter parmi nos joueur, encore plus  
heureux si vous trouvez quelque int?r?t ? jouer r?guli?rement, et  
absolument ravis si vous souhaitez  nous faire part de vos id?es en  
la mati?re.

*******************************************************************************

AIMS:

LATA is a yearly conference in theoretical computer science and its
applications. As linked to the International PhD School in Formal
Languages and Applications that is being developed at the host
institute since 2001, LATA 2008 will reserve significant room for
young computer scientists at the beginning of their career. It will
aim at attracting scholars from both classical theory fields and
application areas (bioinformatics, systems biology, language
technology, artificial intelligence, etc.).

SCOPE:

Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not
limited to:

- words, languages and automata
- grammars (Chomsky hierarchy, contextual, multidimensional,
  unification, categorial, etc.)
- grammars and automata architectures
- extended automata
- combinatorics on words
- language varieties and semigroups
- algebraic language theory
- computability
- computational, descriptional, communication and parameterized
  complexity
- decidability questions on words and languages
- patterns and codes
- symbolic dynamics
- regulated rewriting
- trees, tree languages and tree machines
- term rewriting
- graphs and graph transformation
- power series
- fuzzy and rough languages
- cellular automata
- DNA and other models of bio-inspired computing
- symbolic neural networks
- quantum, chemical and optical computing
- biomolecular nanotechnology
- automata and logic
- algorithms on automata and words
- automata for system analysis and programme verification
- automata, concurrency and Petri nets
- parsing
- weighted machines
- transducers
- foundations of finite state technology
- grammatical inference and algorithmic learning
- text retrieval, pattern matching and pattern recognition
- text algorithms
- string and combinatorial issues in computational biology and
  bioinformatics
- mathematical evolutionary genomics
- language-based cryptography
- data and image compression
- circuits and networks
- language-theoretic foundations of artificial intelligence and
  artificial life
- digital libraries
- document engineering
