Bonjour,

Dans le cadre de son partenariat avec le RMIT de Melbourne, l'école
Epitech et l'ACSEL (Advanced Computer Science Epitech Laboratory) vous
propose deux séminaires :

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Le Lundi 6 Avril 2009 - Andrew Turpin : How do Search Engines Work?

Epitech, 24, rue Pasteur 94270 Le Kremlin Bicêtre
Metro porte d'italie

Résumé :

We have all become very accustomed to using search engines like
Google, but how is it possible to find 10 pages amongst 80 million Web
pages in less than a second?  This talk will give an overview of the
algorithms and data structures used to make a search engines work, and
then focus on the work of one of our PhD students on the algorithms
for generating short summaries of returned pages: snippets.

A propos de l'auteur :

Associate Professor Andrew Turpin is Head of the Information Storage,
Analysis and Retrieval Discipline at the School of Computer Science
and Information Technology, RMIT University, Melbourne Australia, and
an ARC Queen Elizabeth II Research Fellow. He completed his PhD at The
University of Melbourne on data compression in 1999, subsequently
spent several years at Devers Eye Institute and Oregon Health and
Sciences University in Portland Oregon, then four more years after
that teaching computer science at Curtin University of Technology in
Perth. After a short time as Senior Lecturer at The University of
Melbourne, he has spent the last 4.5 years at RMIT as part of The
Search Engine Group.  His recent research interests are in evaluating
information retrieval engines, algorithms for pattern searching, and
computational methods for diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Le jeudi 16 Avril 2009 à 19h - James Thom : User evaluation studies
for information retrieval and database research

Epitech, 24, rue Pasteur 94270 Le Kremlin Bicêtre
Metro porte d'italie

Résumé :

The Cranfield methodology is the basis for the evaluation of many
major international collaborative retrieval experiments (such as TREC,
TRECVID, INEX, and CLEF), and requires user assessments on the
relevance of answers returned by retrieval systems. In this talk I
will present user evaluation studies in three quite different
contexts: database schema matching, filtering of search engine
results, and mediated enterprise search.  In the first study, users
identify matches between pairs of database schemas to support the
evaluation of the effectiveness of using a Star ontology to represent
schemas in data warehouse. The user study on filtering of educational
resources shows that assessment criteria other than relevance can be
valuable in specialized retrieval environments.  The user study on
enterprise search quantifies the cost and benefit to an information
service provider of investing in mediated enterprise search.

A propos de l'auteur :

James Thom is an Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science
and IT, at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. He received his
PhD from the University of Melbourne in 1993, with a thesis in the
area of document database systems. His research interests encompass
mostly databases and information retrieval, and he has published 75
refereed papers in journals and conferences, including publications in
ACM Transactions on Database Systems, ACM Transactions on the Web,
IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, IEEE Transactions
on Multimedia, Journal of the American Society for Information
Science, Information Processing and Management, and Information
Retrieval.

*********** CALL FOR PAPERS ***********

Text Mining and Applications (TeMA’09) Track of EPIA09

TeMA-2009 will be held at the 14th Portuguese Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (EPIA 2009), in University of Aveiro, Portugal, 12-15
October 2009. This track is organized under the auspices of the

[1] Track Description:

Pure symbolic methods for Language Processing alone are unable to
address human languages complexity. Text Mining and Machine Learning
techniques applied to text, raw or annotated, brought up new insights
and completely shifted the approaches to Human Language
Technologies. Both approaches, symbolic and statistical based, when
duly integrated, bridge the gap between language theories and
effective use of languages, and enable important applications. Our
aim, with this track, is to bring together innovative contributions to
fill in this gap.
The track of Text Mining and Applications is a forum for researchers
working in natural language processing (NLP), computational
linguistics (CL), Machine Learning (ML) and related areas.
Authors are invited to submit their papers on any of the issues
identified below. Papers will be blindly reviewed by three members of
the Programme Committee. Best papers will be published at Springer, in
LNAI series. If there are additional papers whose quality is
sufficiently high for deserving to be presented at TeMA’09, those
other accepted papers will be published in a conference proceedings
book.

=========================================================

*Présentation de la conférence *

Dans tous les domaines, les documents sont porteurs de connaissances
et servent de support à leur mémorisation et à leur transmission. La
gestion des documents (classement, pertinence face à une requête,
etc..), l'acquisition et l'extraction des connaissances en vue
d'indexation, de modélisation ou de conceptualisation s'appuient
parfois sur des études terminologiques et linguistiques. Ainsi la
terminologie et la linguistique fournissent des clefs essentielles à
d'autres disciplines comme le traitement automatique des langues, les
sciences de l?information et l?ingénierie des connaissances. En
retour, ces disciplines soulèvent de nouveaux problèmes et ouvrent des
perspectives inédites. Depuis une quinzaine d'années, les conférences
TIA sont un lieu d'échanges entre des chercheurs de ces différentes
disciplines.  Les journées TIA 2009 seront particulièrement focalisées
mais pas exclusivement sur les termes et les structures
terminologiques. Les termes sont utilisés dans de nombreuses
applications comme pivots de la structuration des connaissances : les
ontologies, les thésaurus documentaires et autres ressources
terminologiques plus classiques comme les dictionnaires spécialisés et
les bases de données terminologiques.  Entre les termes, on dégage un
nombre plus ou moins élevé de relations sémantiques. Or si toutes ces
applications se caractérisent par la recherche d?une certaine
stabilité, la nature linguistique des termes et des relations dans
lesquelles ils entrent soulève de nombreuses questions. Quelles
relations représenter en fonction de l?application ?  Comment
représenter les termes ainsi que les relations dans lesquelles ils se
trouvent ? Comment lier les relations représentées dans les ressources
terminologiques et leurs réalisations linguistiques dans les textes ?

Les communications pourront aborder des questions théoriques ou porter
sur des aspects méthodologiques. Les travaux interdisciplinaires
mettant l?accent sur les convergences et les coopérations possibles
entre différentes disciplines autour de questions terminologiques sont
particulièrement bienvenus.

Call for Papers

First NLP4DL Workshop
Viareggio, Italy
15 June 2009

Digital libraries represent a crucial contact point among traditional
libraries, recent advances in Information Technology, and Natural
Language Processing technologies. In a sense, digital libraries
represent a *perfect* crossroads: they are mainly  built out of text,
they are consulted by humans via natural language, and one of the
major tools  for accessing the information they hold, metadata, is a
mix of structured and unstructured information. The First Natural
Language Processing for Digital Libraries (NLP4DL) workshop, organised
under the auspices of the CACAO project (eContentplus Programme of the
European Commission, ECP 2006 DILI 510035 CACAO), aims to collect all
fundamental and innovative research which is done in connection with
Natural Language Technologies applied to the digital libraries
universe. The workshop will host invited speakers together with
talks/papers concerning:


-free text access to full-text digital libraries;
-access to digital resources via metadata;
-NLP techniques for harmonizing metadata in digital library (DL)
 federations;
-cross-language access to DLs;
-cross-language harmonization of metadata;
-discovery in DLs: hyperlinking, clustering, user-oriented
 categorization;
-management of digital collections via NLP-based algorithms;
-adaptation of linguistic resources to thematic DLs;
-fundamental issues: named entity extraction, word sense
 disambiguation, translation disambiguation.

All abstracts papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted contributions
will be distributed on a CD at the workshop.  A volume from the
conference will be published in Fall 2009. Depending on the number of
high quality submissions, a poster/demo session may also be held.

Practical Information
================
The conference will be held in Viareggio, Italy on 15 June 2009. More
details will be available soon at the conference website at
http://www.cacaoproject.eu/NLP4DL09 .

Important Dates
============

Deadline for submission (Abstract, maximum five pages): 20  April 2009
(flexible, upon notice); submission should be sent as a PDF file to
nlp4dl at research.celi.it .

Notification of acceptance: 4 May 2009

Conference version of the paper due (Instructions will be provided to
authors): 1 June 2009

Conference date: 15  June 2009

PROPOSITION DE 2 STAGES AU SEIN DE LA SOCIÉTÉ SYLLABS 
------------------------------------------------------

* La société : Syllabs (www.syllabs.com) est un jeune laboratoire de
  recherche privé spécialisé dans les domaines de la Gestion de
  l'Information et du Traitement Automatique des Langues. Syllabs est
  au cœur de trois activités complémentaires : La Recherche, les
  Développements Innovants et le Conseil.


Nous recherchons deux stagiaires BAC+5 en Informatique :

- Développement d'un outil de compression de phrases pour le résumé
  automatique de textes

- Développement d'un outil de catégorisation des opinions pour des
  domaines spécifiques


********************************
Outil de compression de phrases
********************************

* CONTEXTE : Projet ANR RPM2 (Résumé Plurimédia, Multi-documents et
  Multi-opinion). Pour plus d'infos : http://labs.sinequa.com/rpm2/

* SUJET DU STAGE : Développement d’un outil de compression de phrases
  pour le résumé automatique de textes

* OBJECTIFS DU STAGE : 

Le stage a pour objectif le développement d’un outil de compression de
phrases pour le résumé automatique de textes. Ce travail s’inscrit
dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche ANR relatif au développement
d’un système de résumé multimédia et multi-opinion. Dans ce contexte
particulier, nous nous intéressons au cas du résumé par extraction :
il s’agit de constituer un résumé par sélection et concaténation des
phrases les plus pertinentes du document source. Le résumé ainsi
produit peut alors présenter des éléments superflus et/ou redondants
que l’on souhaiterait éliminer. L’outil de compression de phrases
intervient à ce niveau. Il n’est cependant pas exclu que la
compression puisse intervenir en amont du système de résumé i.e. avant
la phase d’extraction des phrases pertinentes.

Il existe deux grandes approches pour la compression de phrases :
l’approche linguistique qui consiste à définir des règles et
l’approche statistique qui utilise un corpus d’apprentissage pour
détecter des régularités statistiques exploitables. Certaines méthodes
dites « hybrides » s’attachent à combiner ces deux approches afin de
tirer parti des avantages de chacune. A partir d’un état de l’art, la
personne recrutée sera amenée à réaliser une évaluation des méthodes
existantes afin de déterminer l’approche finale. Aucune approche n’est
privilégiée a priori. Une attention particulière devra être portée à
deux éléments caractéristiques d’une bonne compression : la
grammaticalité et la concision. La grammaticalité consiste à s’assurer
que la phrase est grammaticalement correcte. La concision correspond
au fait qu’une phrase compressée doit rendre compte de l’information
essentielle de la phrase originale.

Une évaluation des performances de l’outil sera réalisée en fin de
stage sur la base d’un corpus annoté manuellement. Des mesures
classiques d’évaluation seront utilisées avec prise en compte de la
grammaticalité et de la concision.

La personne sera intégrée à l’équipe en charge des projets de
recherche.


* CONNAISSANCES ET NIVEAU SOUHAITÉS :

- Linguistique Informatique, Bac+5 - Master 2
- Apprentissage supervisé (SVM, perceptron, modèles de Markov)
- Modèles de langages
- Bonne maîtrise du langage Java et d’un langage de script (Perl,
  Python)

* Eléments facultatifs mais considérés comme un plus :

- Maîtrise d'une ou plusieurs langues étrangères
- Connaissance des techniques de résumé automatique

* LIEU DU STAGE : Syllabs - http://www.syllabs.com/fr/contact.html

* RESPONSABLE : Aude Giraudel

* DURÉE DU STAGE : 6 mois

* DOSSIER DE CANDIDATURE : Merci de nous faire parvenir votre lettre
  de motivation ainsi que votre CV complet à l'adresse suivante :

*************************************
Outil de catégorisation des opinions
*************************************

* CONTEXTE : Projet ANR RPM2 (Résumé Plurimédia, Multi-documents et
  Multi-opinion). Pour plus d'infos : http://labs.sinequa.com/rpm2/


* SUJET DU STAGE : Développement d’un outil de catégorisation des
  opinions pour des domaines spécifiques


* OBJECTIFS DU STAGE : 

L’objectif du stage est la mise en place d’un outil de catégorisation
des opinions dans un ensemble de classes de type positif, négatif,
neutre. Ce travail s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche
ANR relatif au développement d’un système de résumé multimédia et
multi-opinion. Dans ce contexte particulier, il s’agit de produire des
résumés textuels prenant en compte les opinions afin de donner la
parole à des courants distincts, des sources d’informations avec des
points de vue différents. En cela, l’étiquetage de l’opinion, ce
qu’elle exprime, nous intéresse particulièrement et il s’agit ici de
faire de la catégorisation selon des types d’opinions préétablis afin
de pouvoir rendre dans le résumé final les différents points de vue
exprimés.

Dans une première phase, il s’agira de mettre en place un outil
d’extraction d’opinions et de catégorisation de ces opinions. Le
formalisme utilisé reste à définir. Des lexiques d’opinions
thématiques devront cependant probablement être spécifiés et
développés. Ce travail sera mené en étroite collaboration avec le pôle
linguistique de la société. Cette première phase constitue la brique
de base du système.

Dans une seconde phase, on s’attachera à mettre en place un système de
rattachement des objets cibles aux opinions exprimées. On se
focalisera alors sur les objets du domaine, leurs instances, leurs
attributs ainsi que leurs propriétés pour construire un système
complet d’analyse d’opinion. L’étude passera par une étape de
modélisation du domaine ainsi que par la mise en place d’un processus
qui fera le lien entre le modèle du domaine et les lexiques d’opinions
déjà développés.

La personne sera intégrée à l’équipe en charge des projets de
recherche.


* CONNAISSANCES ET NIVEAU SOUHAITÉS :

- Linguistique Informatique, Bac+5 - Master 2
- Modélisation des connaissances
- Algorithmes de catégorisation
- Bonne maîtrise du langage Java et d’un langage de script (Perl,
  Python)

Application must be delivered before 30 Apr, 2009 - 23:59:59CET

The Internet is the richest reservoir of human knowledge that has ever
existed. Advanced software tools are needed to monitor and process the
vast amount of material available on-line. The Action OPTIMA
(OPensource Text Information Mining and Analysis) develops innovative
solutions for retrieving and extracting information from the Internet,
and especially from online news and blogs. It serves many Commission
Services, EU agencies and some EU Member State authorities. The core
of this action is the Europe Media Monitor (EMM).

 

Examples of current work are automatic sentiment analysis,
multilingual multi-document summarisation, event extraction, automatic
entity recognition and name variant mapping, as well as various
cross-language applications.  Rule-based, as well as Machine Learning
and hybrid methods are being used to achieve these goals.

 

These techniques are already to some extent being deployed in several
operational applications (see http://press.jrc.it/overview.html) and
part of the work would be in support of these applications. The
on-going research has a strong focus on applicability in a
multilingual environment. The work is highly practical and
goal-oriented. Research results are expected to be used
operationally. The candidate is expected to contribute to scientific
publications of the research results.

 

The person we are looking for will be working on research activities
in the field of automatic multilingual text analysis. We are
specifically looking for somebody with experience in writing robust
grammars for information extraction, to complement machine learning
work in this area. A large part of the candidate's work will be to
help to write information extraction patterns, either from scratch or
by rewriting and generalising automatically learned patterns.

 

The system within which the results will be deployed is implemented in
Java as a set of servlets in Tomcat. Good programming skills,
preferably in Java are therefore recommended.

 

University degree in computational linguistics, computer science or
related areas.

 

Doctoral degree in a similar discipline, or equivalent work experience
of 5 years. The working language of the action is English and strong
English language skills are therefore required. Given the multilingual
aspect of the work, active knowledge of at least one other language
and an understanding of at least one more is also required.

 

Good knowledge of Arabic, Farsi or Chinese would be seen as an asset.

 

Duration : 36 months

PRESENTATION
____________________________________________________________________

MajecSTIC est une série de conférences organisées par des doctorants
pour les chercheurs débutants (Master 2, doctorants, post-docs, ATER,
...), dans les domaines des Sciences et Technologies de l'Information
et de la Communication (STIC).

MajecSTIC vise à fournir un lieu d'échange scientifique autour de
divers travaux des domaines des STIC. De plus, elle permet la
rencontre de chercheurs débutants, futurs acteurs de collaborations
entre laboratoires de recherche, partenaires industriels, ...

La pluridisciplinarité offre à chacun la possibilité de s'ouvrir à
d'autres domaines, les soumissions exigeant une part de vulgarisation
afin d'être accessibles au plus grand nombre de chercheurs en STIC.



DATES IMPORTANTES
____________________________________________________________________

Clôture des soumissions : 15 mai 2009
Notification aux auteurs : 08 juillet 2009
Réception des versions définitives : 09 septembre 2009



SOUMISSIONS
____________________________________________________________________

MajecSTIC 2009 accepte deux types de propositions d'articles :
articles longs et articles courts. Les premiers donneront lieu à une
présentation de 20 minutes suivie de questions, les seconds à la
présentation d'un poster lors d'une session interactive dédiée.  Les
communications présentées à MajecSTIC 2009 seront disponibles sur un
site Web, les actes seront édités et distribués à tous les
participants.

Le public visé est un public de chercheurs débutants issus de tous les
domaines des STIC. Il est donc conseillé de structurer son article en
deux parties : une première partie accessible à tout titulaire d'un
Master 2 en STIC doit présenter clairement la problématique, sa
pertinence et l'originalité de l'approche par rapport à l'état de
l'art, tandis qu'une deuxième partie peut être plus technique et
s'adresser à des spécialistes du domaine.

Les articles longs ne devront pas dépasser 8 pages, tandis que les
courts seront rédigés sur 4 pages. Ils devront respecter le style
fourni sur le site (LaTeX - recommandé, OpenOffice.org ou Word).  La
langue officielle est le français, toutefois les publications en
anglais sont acceptées si les chercheurs n'étaient pas originaires
d'un pays francophone avant de commencer leur thèse.

Chaque proposition sera évaluée par au moins deux spécialistes du
domaine considéré. Un spécialiste d'un autre domaine évaluera de plus
son accessibilité.

Les soumissions se feront sur le site de la conférence :
http://majecstic2009.univ-avignon.fr




DEROULEMENT DE LA CONFERENCE
____________________________________________________________________

La conférence se tiendra sur 3 jours dans les locaux de l'Université
d'Avignon et des Pays de Vaucluse. Outre les présentations des
participants et les sessions posters, des personnalités issues du
monde académique et industriel animeront des conférences pleinières..
De plus, un forum d'entreprises sera organisé, permettant ainsi la
rencontre entre chercheurs et industriels.

Toutes les informations pratiques concernant le déroulement de la
conférence seront disponibles sur le site.

Linguistic and Psycholinguistic Approaches to Text Structuring
(LPTS 2009)

September 21-23 2009

Ecole Normale Supérieure, 45 rue d’Ulm, 75005 Paris
France

Call for Papers

The aim of the conference is to provide an interdisciplinary forum to
present and discuss recent work on markers of discourse structure:
adverbials, connectives, discourse particles, etc. How can we
categorize these markers? What kind of relations do they express? Can
they combine several functions at the sentence level and/ or at the
discourse level and, if so, which ones? What impact do discourse
structure markers have on comprehension? When and how are they
acquired? From what age are children able to master their use in oral
and written discourse?

The goal of the conference is more specifically to advance research
into the relationship between the position of the markers concerned
and their ability to play a role in discourse organization.  Do these
markers have a privileged position? We know that sentence initial
position is a strategic position in terms of information
structuring/packaging and memory. But can these factors override the
word order constraints of each language? Are there also observable
variations between discourse genres and between written and oral
modes?

We invite papers using cognitive and functional approaches, based on
corpora in different languages at different stages of their evolution,
as well as papers that report on psycholinguistic approaches based on
behavioural data.

Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Segmentation and linearization
- Initial positioning
- Saliency and Information Structure
- Grammaticalization and evolution of structure markers
- Typological approach to structure markers
- Spatial and temporal discourse structure
- Effects of discourse organization markers on comprehension
- Acquisition and mastery of their use in discourse production
- Role of text structuring devices in acquiring knowledge

Peter Crompton (American University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates)
Tuomas Huumo (University of Turku, Finland)
Tuija Virtanen (Åbo Akademi University Department Of English, Finland)
Isabelle Tapiéro (University of Lyon 2 – EMC, France)

Approches linguistiques et psycholinguistiques de la structuration des textes

(LPTS 2009)

21-23 septembre 2009

Ecole Normale Supérieure, 45 rue d’Ulm, 75005 Paris
France


2eme Appel à soumissions


Le but du colloque est de permettre aux chercheurs travaillant sur les
marqueurs de structuration des discours (adverbiaux, connecteurs,
particules énonciatives etc.) de présenter les résultats de leurs
analyses et de les confronter avec ceux d'équipes conduisant des
recherches dans le domaine. Les points abordés porteront notamment sur
les questions suivantes : comment catégoriser ces marqueurs ? Quels
types de relations expriment-ils ? Peuvent-ils cumuler plusieurs
fonctions dans la phrase et/ou dans le discours et, si oui, lesquelles
? Peut-on par ailleurs observer des variations d’usage selon les
genres de discours et entre l’écrit et l’oral ? Quel impact ces
marqueurs ont-ils sur la compréhension? Quand et comment sont-ils
acquis ?  A partir de quel âge les sujets maîtrisent-ils leur usage
tant à l'oral qu'à l'écrit?

On s'attachera, plus spécifiquement, à faire avancer la réflexion sur
les relations entre la position de ces marqueurs et leur capacité à
jouer un rôle dans l’organisation du discours.  Ces marqueurs ont une
affinité particulière avec la zone préverbale, qui est une position
stratégique d’un point de vue informationnel et mémoriel. Mais ces
facteurs peuvent-ils l’emporter sur les contraintes d’ordre des mots
propres à chaque langue ou famille de langues ?

Du point de vue théorique et méthodologique, le colloque privilégiera
les approches cognitives et fonctionnalistes, fondées sur des corpus
dans différentes langues à différents stades de leur évolution, ainsi
que les approches psycholinguistiques fondées sur des données
comportementales.



Liste de thèmes (non limitative)

    *    Segmentation et linéarisation
    *    Position dans la phrase et dans le discours
    *    Saillance et structure informationnelle
    *    Origine des marqueurs de structuration

    *    Structuration spatiale et temporelle des discours
    *    Approche typologique des marqueurs de structuration
    *    Effet des marqueurs de structuration des 
         discours sur la compréhension
    *    Acquisition et maîtrise de leur usage en production
    *    Rôle des marqueurs de structuration des 
         textes dans l'apprentissage de connaissances

Apprentissage automatique pour le TAL

La revue TAL (http://www.atala.org/-Revue-TAL) lance un appel à
contribution sur le sujet de l'apprentissage automatique pour le TAL.
L'apprentissage automatique (ou apprentissage artificiel) est l'étude
des algorithmes qui permettent aux programmes de s'améliorer
automatiquement par expérience (définition de Tom Mitchell dans son
livre "Machine Learning"). Le domaine a connu ces dernières années un
développement considérable, et ses interactions avec le TAL sont de
plus en plus étroites et fréquentes.

Du côté des linguistes, les intérêts de ce rapprochement sont
nombreux.  En effet, la constitution manuelle de ressources est en
général longue et coûteuse, et doit être recommencée pour chaque
langue différente, et pour chaque sous-domaine spécifique d'une
langue. L'apprentissage automatique offre une alternative séduisante,
en permettant d'obtenir ou d'améliorer à moindre frais de telles
ressources, et de s'assurer qu'elles sont robustes et à large
couverture. La démarche inductive, employée depuis longtemps en
linguistique de corpus, peut ainsi être opérationnalisée à grande
échelle, et ses résultats testés de façon systématique. Quant aux
théories formelles de l'apprentissage, elles contribuent aussi à
alimenter le débat sur l'acquisition des langues naturelles, récurrent
depuis les années 50.

De leur côté, les spécialistes de l'apprentissage automatique voient
dans le TAL un domaine d'application privilégié, pourvoyeur de
problèmes nombreux et difficiles, et de données en grande
quantité. Mais la prudence est souvent de mise quant à
l'interprétabilité des résultats obtenus. Les méthodes employées sont
de plus en plus fondées sur des mathématiques raffinées, réservées aux
spécialistes : dans ce contexte, la linguistique a-t-elle encore son
mot à dire ? Quelle confiance un linguiste peut-il accorder au
résultat d'un programme d'apprentissage automatique ?

La revue TAL consacre un numéro aux relations entre apprentissage
automatique et traitement de la langue, particulièrement dans sa
dimension textuelle. Au delà de compte-rendus d'expériences visant à
appliquer telle méthode d'apprentissage automatique à tel domaine de
la linguistique, nous souhaitons encourager une réflexion plus large
sur les enjeux théoriques et méthodologiques de la démarche. Quelle
que soit l'approche décrite, un effort devra donc être fait pour
expliciter les hypothèses tant linguistiques qu'informatiques des
techniques mises en oeuvre.

Les approches de l'apprentissage automatique choisies peuvent être :

- théoriques, liées à l'apprenabilité/non apprenabilité suivant des
  critères formels de classes d'objets

- empiriques, s'appuyant sur un protocole expérimental exploitant des
  données annotées (apprentissage supervisé) ou non annotées
  (apprentissage non supervisé)

Les méthodes d'apprentissage mises en oeuvre peuvent être :
- symbolique (inférence grammaticale, PLI...)
- à base de modèles probabilistes (génératifs ou discriminants)
- à base de similarités (voisinages, analogie, "memory-based
  learning"...)

Les domaines d'applications peuvent être :

- l'acquisition ou l'amélioration de ressources linguistiques (y
  compris : automates, grammaires, cadres de sous-catégorisations,
  ontologies de concepts...)

- l'analyse de la parole

- l'annotation de corpus (étiquetage lexical, syntaxique, fonctionnel,
  thématique, sémantique...)

- le clustering et la classification de textes (suivant différents
  critères possibles : auteur, contenu, opinion...)

- la recherche d'information

- l'extraction d'information (y compris : extraction et typage des
  entités nommées)

- les systèmes questions/réponses

- le résumé automatique

- la traduction automatique

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

Machine Learning for NLP

The revue TAL (http://www.atala.org/-Revue-TAL) proposes a call for
papers on the subject of "Machine Learning for NLP". Machine Learning
is the study of algorithms that allow computer programs to
automatically improve through experience (definition proposed by Tom
Mitchell in his "Machine Learning" book). This domain has drastically
increased in the last few years, and its interactions with NLP are
more and more tight and frequent.

 From a linguistic point of view, the interests for this evolution are
numerous. As a matter of fact, manually built resources are
time-consuming and expensive, and the process must be started again
for each distinct language and each distinct sub-domain of a language.
Machine Learning offers an attractive alternative, allowing to obtain
or improve at a lower cost such a resource, with better guaranties of
robustness and coverage. The inductive approach, used for a long time
in the "corpus linguistic" community, can now be operationalized at a
large scale, and its results be rigorously tested. And formal theories
of learning also contribute to the long-standing debate about natural
language acquisition.

 From a Machine Learning point of view, NLP is a rich application
domain where problems are numerous and difficult, and for which many
data are usually available. But the interpretability of the obtained
results is often problematic. More and more subtle specialist-reserved
mathematical device are used : in this context, is linguistics still
useful ? What confidence can a linguist have on the result of a
Machine Learning system ?

A number of the electronic review TAL will be dedicated to this theme.
Beyond reports about yet another experiment applying a special Machine
Learning method on a special linguistic task, more general theoretical
and methodological reflexions are encouraged. For each contribution
and each method used, a special effort should be made to clarify what
are the linguistic as well as computational underlying hypotheses.

The Machine Learning approach considered can be : - either
theoretical, concerning learnability/non learnability results for
classes of objects, with respect to formal criteria - either
empirical, based on an experimental protocol exploiting annotated (in
the case of supervised learning) or not annotated (in the case of non
supervised learning) data

The methods used can be :
- symbolic (grammatical inference, ILP...)
- based on probabilistic (either generative or discriminative) models
- based on similarities (neighboring, analogy, memory-based
  learning...)

Application domains can be :

- acquisition or improving of resources (including automata, grammars,
  sub-categorisation frames, concept-based ontologies...)

- speech analysis

- corpus labeling (either lexical, syntactic, functional, thematic,
  semantic...)

- clustering and classification of texts (according to various
  possible criteria : author, content, opinion...)

- information extraction (including : extraction and typing of named
  entities)

- question/answering systems

- automatic summary

- automatic translation

Troisièmes Journées de Phonétique Clinique

Appel à Communication
4-5 décembre 2009, Aix-en-Provence, France

http://www.lpl-aix.fr/~jpc3/

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


Ces journées s’inscrivent dans la lignée des premières et deuxièmes
journées d’études de phonétique clinique, qui s’étaient tenues
respectivement à Paris en 2005 et Grenoble en 2007. La phonétique
clinique réunit des chercheurs, enseignants-chercheurs, ingénieurs,
médecins et orthophonistes, différents corps de métiers
complémentaires qui poursuivent le même objectif : une meilleure
connaissance des processus d’acquisition et de dysfonctionnement de la
parole et de la voix. Cette approche interdisciplinaire vise à
optimiser les connaissances fondamentales relatives à la communication
parlée chez le sujet sain et à mieux comprendre, évaluer,
diagnostiquer et remédier aux troubles de la parole et de la voix chez
le sujet pathologique.

Les communications porteront sur les études phonétiques de la parole
et de la voix pathologiques, chez l’adulte et chez l’enfant. Les
thèmes du qcolloque incluent, de façon non limitative :

Perturbations du système oro-pharyngo-laryngé
Perturbations du système perceptif
Troubles cognitifs et moteurs
Instrumentation et ressources en phonétique clinique
Modélisation de la parole et de la voix pathologique
Evaluation et traitement des pathologies de la parole et de la voix

Les contributions sélectionnées seront présentées sous l’une des deux 
formes suivantes  :

Communication longue: 20 minutes, pour l’exposé de travaux aboutis
Communication courte: 8 minutes pour l’exposé d'observations
cliniques, de travaux préliminaires, de problématiques émergentes afin
de favoriser au mieux les échanges interdisciplinaires entre
phonéticiens et cliniciens.

Format de soumission:
Les soumissions aux JPC se présentent sous la forme de résumés rédigés
en français, d’une longueur maximale d’une page A4, police Times New
Roman, 12pt, interligne simple. Les résumés devront être soumis au
format PDF à l’adresse suivante: soumission.jpc3 at lpl-aix.fr


Date limite de soumission: 15 mai 2009
Date de notification auteurs : 1er juillet 2009

Pour toute information complémentaire, contactez les organisateurs:
org.jpc3 at lpl-aix.fr

L’inscription aux JPC3 (1er juillet 2009) sera ouverte à tous,
publiant ou non publiant.

A new book series is going to be announced in a few weeks by a major
publisher under the (tentative) title of

Mathematics, Computing, Language, and the Life: Frontiers in
Mathematical Linguistics and Language Theory

SERIES DESCRIPTION:

Language theory, as originated from Chomsky's seminal work in the
fifties last century and in parallel to Turing-inspired automata
theory, was first applied to natural language syntax within the
context of the first unsuccessful attempts to achieve reliable machine
translation prototypes. After this, the theory proved to be very
valuable in the study of programming languages and the theory of
computing.

In the last 15-20 years, language and automata theory has experienced
quick theoretical developments as a consequence of the emergence of
new interdisciplinary domains and also as the result of demands for
application to a number of disciplines, most notably: natural language
processing, computational biology, natural computing, programming, and
artificial intelligence.

The series will collect recent research on either foundational or
applied issues, and is addressed to graduate students as well as to
post-docs and academics.

TOPIC CATEGORIES:

A. Theory: language and automata theory, combinatorics on words,
descriptional and computational complexity, semigroups, graphs and
graph transformation, trees, computability

B. Natural language processing: mathematics of natural language
processing, finite-state technology, languages and logics, parsing,
transducers, text algorithms, web text retrieval

C. Artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and programming:
patterns, pattern matching and pattern recognition, models of
concurrent systems, Petri nets, models of pictures, fuzzy languages,
grammatical inference and algorithmic learning, language-based
cryptography, data and image compression, automata for system analysis
and program verification

D. Bio-inspired computing and natural computing: cellular automata,
symbolic neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, genetic algorithms,
DNA computing, molecular computing, biomolecular nanotechnology,
circuit theory, quantum computing, chemical and optical computing,
models of artificial life

E. Bioinformatics: mathematical biology, string and combinatorial
issues in computational biology and bioinformatics, mathematical
evolutionary genomics, language processing of biological sequences,
digital libraries


The connections of this broad interdisciplinary field with other areas
include: computational linguistics, knowledge engineering, theoretical
computer science, software science, molecular biology, etc.


The first volumes will be miscellaneous and will globally define the
scope of the future series.

INVITATION TO CONTRIBUTE:

Contributions are requested for the first five volumes. In principle,
there will be no limit in length. All contributions will be submitted
to strict peer-review. Collections of papers are also welcome.

Potential contributors should express their interest in being
considered for the volumes by April 25, 2009 to
carlos.martinvide at gmail.com

They should specify:

- the tentative title of the contribution,
- the authors and affiliations,
- a 5-10 line abstract,
- the most appropriate topic category (A to E above).

A selection will be done immediately after, with invited authors
submitting their contribution for peer-review by July 25, 2009.


The volumes are expected to appear in the first months of 2010.

*********** CALL FOR PAPERS ***********

Text Mining and Applications (TeMA’09) Track of EPIA09

TeMA-2009 will be held at the 14th Portuguese Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (EPIA 2009), in University of Aveiro, Portugal, 12-15
October 2009. This track is organized under the auspices of the
Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA).

[1] Track description; [2] Topics of interest; [3] Important dates;
[4] Paper submission; [5] Track fees; [6] Organizing Committee; [7]
Program Committee and [8] Contacts.

[1] Track Description:
Pure symbolic methods for Language Processing alone are unable to
address human languages complexity. Text Mining and Machine Learning
techniques applied to text, raw or annotated, brought up new insights
and completely shifted the approaches to Human Language
Technologies. Both approaches, symbolic and statistical based, when
duly integrated, bridge the gap between language theories and
effective use of languages, and enable important applications. Our
aim, with this track, is to bring together innovative contributions to
fill in this gap.
The track of Text Mining and Applications is a forum for researchers
working in natural language processing (NLP), computational
linguistics (CL), Machine Learning (ML) and related areas.
Authors are invited to submit their papers on any of the issues
identified below. Papers will be blindly reviewed by three members of
the Programme Committee. Best papers will be published at Springer, in
LNAI series. If there are additional papers whose quality is
sufficiently high for deserving to be presented at TeMA’09, those
other accepted papers will be published in a conference proceedings
book.

PROPOSITION DE STAGE OU CDD, printemps-été 2009

Discipline : informatique, traitement informatique des langues
Niveau : Master
Durée : 2 à 6 mois
Démarrage : dès que possible
Lieu : LIMSI-CNRS, Orsay
Rémunération : selon niveau
Contacts : envoyer un CV et une lettre de motivation à :
  Sophie Rosset <sophie.rosset at limsi.fr>
  Xavier Tannier <xavier.tannier at limsi.fr>
  Pierre Zweigenbaum <pz at limsi.fr>


Sujet : Repérage de citations dans des brevets internationaux

Le texte d'un brevet, tout comme un article scientifique, cite des
documents externes de différentes natures : autres brevets,
publications scientifiques, bases de données, etc. Ces documents sont
habituellement listés en fin de brevet, comme la liste de références
bibliographiques d'un ouvrage. Dans le corps du brevet, le mode de
citation de ces documents est variable, et utilise tout ou partie de
la désignation du document présente en fin de brevet.

Il s'agit de repérer automatiquement ces citations dans le corps du
brevet, de déterminer leur type, de repérer également la liste des
documents présente en fin de brevet, et de lier chaque citation au
document approprié. Chacun de ces éléments sera alors marqué par des
balises XML prises dans un répertoire fourni.

Le travail sera réalisé sur des brevets en trois langues : anglais,
français, allemand. Une collection importante d'exemples de brevets
déjà annotés est disponible et pourra servir pour la mise au point,
l'entraînement et l'évaluation des programmes.


Méthodes
--------

Plusieurs méthodes sont envisageables : le repérage de patrons de
citations à l'aide d'expressions régulières est la plus directe. Pour
mettre au point ces patrons, l'étude du corpus existant pourra être en
tout ou partie automatisée. Des approches utilisant des méthodes et
outils d'apprentissage automatique, comme par exemple les CRF,
pourront compléter ou se substituer à la mise au point de patrons.

Ce travail se fera dans le cadre du projet Quaero.


Compétences
-----------

Requises : écriture de scripts.

Appréciées : manipulation d'expressions régulières ; expérience du
travail sur corpus de textes ; expérience de l'usage de logiciels
d'apprentissage automatique ; connaissance de l'allemand.

Alice KRIEG-PLANQUE

La notion de 'formule' en analyse du discours
Cadre théorique et méthodologique


Presses Universitaires de Franche-Comté (Besançon, France)
coll. Annales Littéraires de l'Université de Franche-Comté
146 pages
9 euros


Quatrième de couverture :

'Mondialisation', 'choc des civilisations', 'sans-papiers', 'problème
des banlieues', 'fracture sociale', 'devoir de mémoire',
'développement durable', 'malbouffe'' Toutes ces expressions ' et bien
d'autres ' peuvent être envisagées comme des formules : à un moment de
l'histoire, elles s'imposent à la fois comme des passages obligés des
discours et comme des objets polémiques dans l'espace public. Elles
condensent des enjeux politiques et sociaux. Elles cristallisent le
débat. Elles mettent en place des évidences et des questionnements.

Dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire, cet ouvrage propose un cadre
théorique et méthodologique pour comprendre et étudier de tels faits
discursifs. La présentation du cadre théorique permet de situer la
notion de formule dans ses fondements conceptuels. Les éléments de
méthode proposent au lecteur des catégories d'analyse et des critères
pour étudier sur corpus telle ou telle formule déterminée.

Ce livre est destiné à des étudiants (master, doctorat) et à des
enseignants-chercheurs de différentes disciplines qui souhaitent
soumettre à l'analyse du discours les réalités politiques et sociales
dont ils se saisissent. Plus largement, ce livre retiendra l'attention
de tous ceux qui aspirent à porter un regard critique sur les discours
dominants. Ces derniers, faut-il le préciser, ne se comprennent pas
sans les contre-discours qui se donnent à voir comme des alternatives
ou des contradictions.

L'auteure :

Alice Krieg-Planque est docteure en sciences du langage. Elle est
maîtresse de conférences en sciences de l'information et de la
communication à l'Université Paris 12 - Paris-Est, membre du Céditec
(Centre d'étude des discours, images, textes, écrits, communications,
EA 3119). Ses recherches portent sur les discours politiques,
médiatiques et institutionnels.

L'INRIA propose une thèse sur le sujet "Construction modulaire de
grammaires formelles motivées linguistiquement".  La thèse se
déroulera au LORIA à Nancy dans l'équipe Calligramme
(http://www.loria.fr/equipes/calligramme/ ) sous la responsabilité de
Guy Perrier, professeur d'informatique à l'université Nancy 2
(Guy.Perrier at loria.fr).

Salaire proposé (net mensuel) : 1.541 € les deux premières années et
1.624 € la dernière année.

Candidature à effectuer en ligne avant le 4 mai 2009 sur le site de
l'INRIA : http://www.inria.fr/travailler/opportunites/doc.fr.html

Description du sujet:

Dans le domaine du Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL), la
nécessité d’avoir des grammaires formelles avec une excellente
précision linguistique et une large couverture est de plus en plus
évidente. De telles grammaires ne peuvent pas être apprises
automatiquement à partir de corpus et elles doivent être construites
manuellement à partir de connaissances linguistiques. Une telle tâche
est particulièrement difficile pour plusieurs raisons :

- Il est difficile de maintenir la cohérence et la lisibilité de
  telles grammaires compte tenu de leur taille (une grammaire d’arbres
  adjoints peut avoir plus de 10000 arbres).

- Ces grammaires doivent être écrites dans un formalisme. Or, il y a
  une multiplicité de formalismes utilisés en TAL et aucun d’entre eux
  ne s’est imposé sur les autres. Les grammaires écrites dans un
  formalisme ont du mal à être traduite dans un autre.

- Enfin, par souci d’efficacité calculatoire, les grammaires sont
  souvent lexicalisées : chaque construction grammaticale est liée à
  un mot de la langue. La lexicalisation entraîne une redondance
  d’information, ce qui rend le maintien de la cohérence de la
  grammaire plus difficile que dans le cas général.

Dans les équipes Calligramme et Talaris du LORIA, a été développé un
environnement logiciel, baptisé XMG [Duchier and al. 2004], pour aider
à la construction de telles grammaires.

En s'appuyant sur cette expérience, il s'agit de concevoir un langage
abstrait de description grammaticale suffisamment expressif pour
représenter différentes théories linguistiques et différents
formalismes grammaticaux, en prenant en compte à la fois la syntaxe et
la sémantique des langues.

Le langage à définir ne doit pas seulement permettre la juxtaposition
de divers formalismes grammaticaux. Ce faisant, il passerait à côté
d’un souci essentiel qui est de pouvoir réutiliser les ressources
grammaticales d’un formalisme à un autre. Le langage doit aider à
s’abstraire au maximum des différents formalismes cibles pour exprimer
les généralisations linguistiques d’une grammaire d’une façon aussi
naturelle que pourrait le faire un linguiste. A la limite, il faudrait
pouvoir décrire une grammaire d’une façon complètement indépendante
des formalismes cibles pour ensuite la traduire dans ceux-ci. Compte
tenu de la profonde hétérogénéité des formalismes grammaticaux, cet
objectif semble difficile à atteindre tel quel mais c’est le but vers
lequel il faut tendre.

Pour mener à bien cet ambitieux programme, l’étudiant devra faire
converger deux points de vue : d’un côté, celui de linguistes qui
modélisent la langue et qui ont besoin d’un formalisme élégant et
synthétique pour écrire les règles de la grammaire, de l’autre côté
celui d’informaticiens qui développent des analyseurs pour traiter
automatiquement des textes de façon efficace. Il pourra s’appuyer pour
cela sur une expérience déjà riche de développement de grammaires pour
le TAL linguistiquement motivées. Cela l’amènera à interagir avec
plusieurs équipes de recherche françaises et étrangères engagées dans
le domaine.

1ST WORKSHOP ON DEFINITION EXTRACTION
September 18, 2009
Borovets, Bulgaria

http://www.iling.unam.mx/wde


MOTIVATION:

Nowadays, the automatic extraction of definitions from textual data is
a common task in different domains of Natural Language
Processing. Briefly, we can sketch two main research directions:

- The use of Definition Extraction (DE) as a methodological resource
  in areas such as Computational Semantic, Information Extraction,
  Text Mining, Ontologies, WEB Semantics or E-Learning.

- The conception of DE as a self-challenging task, particularity in
  Computational Lexicography and Terminology, toward the design and
  implementation of electronic resources such as lexical knowledge
  bases, machine-readable dictionaries, terminological databases,
  thesauri.  Such resources can be monolingual or multilingual.


However, in contrast to the generalised use of DE in multiple domains,
there is no specific forum for sharing information about
methodologies, tools, evaluation techniques or applications related
directly with DE.

We propose this 1st Workshop on Definition Extraction as such an
exchange forum, with the hope that this workshop could become an
academic space to share and assess new methodologies, tools and
techniques, in the spirit of promoting the DE as a consolidated
research area.

TOPICS:

This workshop will provide an opportunity to discuss, both theoretical
and practical views in DE. The following are examples of topics that
are relevant, but not exclusive, for the workshop:

· Discussions, analysis, positions around the state of art on DE.

· Concrete uses of resources obtained from DE in scientific or
  technical areas.

· Original methodologies considering the use of symbolic and/or
  statistical methods for the recognition and extraction of possible
  candidates of textual definitions.

· Comparisons between DE from structured (such as Wikipedia) and
  unstructured textual data.

· Development of computational tools for extracting definitions from
  large corpora.

· Concrete applications of DE within larger projects in Language
  Learning, Automated Reasoning, Text Mining, etc.

· DE in multilingual environment.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

Lexicographers, terminographers, linguists, computational linguists,
NLP community and those people interested in DE field.

TENTATIVE PROGRAM (1 FULL DAY):

1 Invited speaker (to be determined)
8-10 papers
4-5 software demonstrations


OFFICIAL LANGUAGE

The official language of the conference is English.

Workshop: Biomedical Information Extraction
http://www.lml.bas.bg/ranlp2009/biomedicalIE 

In conjunction with the 7th International Conference
Recent Advances on Natural Language Processing RANLP-2009, 14-16
September 2009


Undoubtly, the availability of information for biomedicine in an
electronic format has been rapidly increasing. The Medical Literature
Analysis and Retrieval system (Medline) houses millions of biomedical
scientific literature publications. PubMed offers the power of a
search engine for accessing the Medline content. On the other hand,
the electronization of clinical data within the Electronic Medical
Record (EMR) provides another powerful source for information
extraction.
Access to integrated information is critical for health care
improvement, research, and the overall science of healthcare delivery
and personalized medicine. Information extraction from the scientific
literature is distinct from information extraction from the clinical
narrative as these two types of genre have their own stylistic
characteristics and pose different methodological challenges. In
addition, biomedical information spans multiple languages thus
necessitating methods for multi-lingual information extraction.

In addition to the biomedical scientific literature and clinical data,
the large number of health-related web resources is increasing day by
day. The content of these resources is very variable and difficult to
assess. Furthermore, the number of people searching for health-related
information is also increasing. The development of tools to support
the process of describing the content of medical web resources with
meta-data that facilitate their retrieval, and with quality labels by
certified authorities, is crucial for the delivery of content of
better quality to health information consumers. Multi-lingual
information extraction has a significant role to play there also.

The focus of this workshop is natural language processing and
information extraction for biomedicine, including scientific and
clinical free-text as well as health-related web resources within one
or many languages. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Natural language processing techniques for basic tasks, e.g.
  sentence boundary detection, tokenization, part of speech tagging,
  shallow parsing and deep parsing. Evaluation and comparison with the
  general domain;

* Efforts to create sharable biomedical lexical resources, including
  the annotation of biomedical data for linguistic and domain events;

* Biomedical named entity recognition;

* Methods for higher level biomedical language processing, e.g.
  relation discovery, temporal relation discovery, anaphoric relation
  discovery;

* Terminology/ontology biomedical named entity mapping;

* Integrated knowledge management of scientific and clinical free-text
  data

* Knowledge representation and management technologies (e.g. OWL, RDF,
  Annotation Schemas, etc.) that enable the creation of
  machine-processable descriptions of health-related web resources

* Content collection and information extraction techniques that allow
  the quality labeling of web resources and the continuous monitoring
  of already labeled ones

* Multi-lingual information extraction

Important dates:

*	Submission deadline: 6 June 2009
*	Notification of acceptance: 20 July 2009
*	Camera-ready copy due from authors: 24 August 2009
*	Workshop: 17 or 18 September 2009

Submission instructions:

Submissions should be A4, two-column format and should not exceed
seven pages including cover page, figures, tables and references. The
workshop papers should follow the RANLP format which is available at
the RANLP website http://www.lml.bas.bg/ranlp2009 in the Second Call
for Papers.  Papers should be submitted electronically in *PDF* format
using the conference submission system START. Detailed instructions
about the workshop submission will be announced at the workshop
website.

Review and multiple submission policy

The review process is anonymous. The paper text should not reveal the

Programme committee (to be announced in the second Call for Papers)

Workshop venue:

The workshop will be held at the Samokov Hotel in the resort of
Borovets as a post-conference event of RANLP-09. The picturesque
resort of Borovets is located in the Rila mountains and is one of the
best known winter resorts in South-East Europe, a frequent venue for
world skiing events. The resort is 1350 m above sea level, at the foot
of the highest peak on the Balkan Peninsula - Moussala (2925 m). The
resort of Borovets is 73 km from Sofia and the International airport
of Sofia can serve as an arrival/departure point. In addition to
regular public transport, the organizers will provide daily shuttle
buses from Sofia airport to the Samokov hotel at an inexpensive
rate. A taxi from Sofia to Borovets is relatively cheap; it is also
possible to take a taxi from the International airport in Sofia to the
workshop venue.

Proposition de thèse financée/ 3 years research grant proposal,
english version by the end of the message

Titre : Fouille de texte et exploitation du web pour la construction
de corpus comparables

Contexte

Le laboratoire VALORIA (http://www-valoria.univ-ubs.fr/) associé à
l’équipe LICORN (http://web.univ-ubs.fr/corpus/publi.html) du
laboratoire XXX propose une allocation de thèse en informatique pour
trois ans financée dans le cadre du projet ANR METRICC
(http://www.metricc.com/), à la croisée des technologie web et du
traitement automatique des langues naturelles.

Le travail de thèse proposé cible la collecte de documents sur
Internet dans le but de construire des corpus comparables. Cela
nécessite le développement d’un crawling thématique orienté qui permet
de décider si le système doit suivre des hyperliens ou non. Il s’agira
donc de tester la dérive des documents rapportés par rapport à des
critères de comparabilités pré-définis. La thématique recherchée
pourra être spécifiée sous la forme de "cartographies lexicales"
comparées (au sens défini par J. Veronis), de thesaurus alignés,
d’ontologies alignées ou d’ensemble de documents alignés à titre
d’exemples.

Il conviendra d'effectuer des analyses lexicographiques sur le corpus
issu du crawling afin d'évaluer une dérive sémantique consécutive à
des changements de contextes. Il est proposé de réaliser une analyse
collocationnelle et colligationnelle fine de certains concepts clés
afin de détecter si des équivalents de traduction peuvent être dégagés
et si oui, d'analyser leur stabilité en fonction de l'environnement
lexical.  Nous pourrons ainsi comparer les structures d'une ontologie
naturelle construite à partir d'un corpus comparable de référence et
celles construite à partir d’un corpus comparable résultant d'un
crawling orienté.


Title: Text mining and web crawling dedicated to the construction of
comparable corpora

Context

The VALORIA research group. (http://www-valoria.univ-ubs.fr/)
associated to the LICORN team of the HCTI research group
(http://web.univ-ubs.fr/corpus/) has currently a vacancy for a 3-year
PhD research grant in computer science, funded by the ANR METRICC
project (http://www.metricc.com/). This project is situated at the
interface of web technologies and Natural Language Processing.


The research work centres on the collecting of documents on the web
with a view to reducing the cost of constructing comparable
corpora. This task requires the development of oriented thematic
crawling that is, for example, able to decide whether or not crawling
a hyperlink is profitable. It will be necessary to test and evaluate
the drift of the crawled documents with respect to pre-defined
comparability criteria.  The thematic could be defined either by means
of comparable lexical cartographies (as defined by J. Veronis) ,
aligned thesaurus or ontologies, or a set of aligned documents.

It will be necessary to propose lexicographic analyses on the crawled
set of documents in order to tackle potential semantic drift due to
context change. It is suggested to develop detailed collocational and
colligational analysis for some key concepts so as to detect whether
equivalent concepts can be extracted in translation and, if so, if
whether these translated concepts are stable with respect to the
lexical environment. This would allow comparisons to be drawn between
the structure of a natural ontology and one constructed from reference
comparable corpora produced through oriented thematic crawling.

                           Call for Papers
                                   
        Prague, Czech Republic, August 31 - September 2, 2009

------------------------------------------------------------------------

PSC'09 is the 14th event of the Prague Stringology Club. It is an
international conference focusing on stringology and related areas. It
is organized annually by the Prague Stringology Club, a research group
in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the Czech
Technical University in Prague. The proceedings of recent conferences
are indexed in DBLP.



TOPICS:

Stringology is a part of algorithmic research that deals with the
processing of text strings. It has existed for at least thirty years
and developed into a respected subfield of its own. The last fifteen
years have produced an explosion of new results. This progress is due
in part to the human genome effort, an area to which string algorithms
make important contributions. The topics of the conference include but
are not limited to:

  * algorithms for pattern matching in strings, images and trees
  * data structures (automata, trees etc.) for pattern matching
    in strings, images and trees
  * coding and data compression
  * bioinformatics
  * information retrieval
  * string processing algorithms in databases
  * searching for regularities
  * natural language processing



INVITED TALK:

  * "Combining Text Compression and String Matching: The Miracle of
    Self-Indexing" G. Navarro, University of Chile.



SUBMISSION:

Authors are cordially invited to submit their full papers (PostScript
or PDF format, 10-15 pages, A4 page format) by May 11, 2009. The paper
should start with the title, each author's name, affiliation, and
e-mail address, and a one-paragraph summary of the results and
ideas. The paper should be submitted via submission server
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=psc2009).

For their final version the papers are required to be prepared using
our new LaTeX style available at http://www.stringology.org/pscproc2
which has an interface compatible to LNCS style.

HISTORY:

PSC'09 was preceded by Prague Stringology Workshops in 1996-2000 and
by Prague Stringology Conferences in 2001-2006, 2008. Each year
proceedings are prepared for the conference. They are published by
Czech Technical University in Prague and are also available from the
PSC web pages. Selected papers from the later workshops were also
published in a special issue of the journal Kybernetika. Selected
papers from the 2002-2006, 2008 conferences were then published in the
Nordic Journal of Computing, Journal of Automata, Languages, and
Combinatorics, and International Journal of Foundations in Computer
Science.



LOCATION:

PSC'09 will be held in the Department of Computer Science &
Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague on August 31 -
September 2, 2009. The working language is English. As usual, accepted
papers will appear in conference proceedings published by the Czech
Technical University in Prague and distributed at the
conference. After further refereeing, selected papers will then be
published in an international journal.

The conference venue is located in the historical center of Prague on
which all cultural epochs left their mark and it is for centuries a
political, social, and cultural center of European significance.

Call for Papers

First NLP4DL Workshop
Viareggio, Italy
15 June 2009

Digital libraries represent a crucial contact point among traditional
libraries, recent advances in Information Technology, and Natural
Language Processing technologies. In a sense, digital libraries
represent a *perfect* crossroads: they are mainly built out of text,
they are consulted by humans via natural language, and one of the
major tools for accessing the information they hold, metadata, is a
mix of structured and unstructured information. The First Natural
Language Processing for Digital Libraries (NLP4DL) workshop, organised
under the auspices of the CACAO project (eContentplus Programme of the
European Commission, ECP 2006 DILI 510035 CACAO), aims to collect all
fundamental and innovative research which is done in connection with
Natural Language Technologies applied to the digital libraries
universe. The workshop will host invited speakers together with
talks/papers concerning:

-free text access to full-text digital libraries;
-access to digital resources via metadata;
-NLP techniques for harmonizing metadata in digital library (DL)
 federations;
-cross-language access to DLs;
-cross-language harmonization of metadata;
-discovery in DLs: hyperlinking, clustering, user-oriented
 categorization;
-management of digital collections via NLP-based algorithms;
-adaptation of linguistic resources to thematic DLs;
-fundamental issues: named entity extraction, word sense
 disambiguation, translation disambiguation.

All abstracts papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted contributions
will be distributed on a CD at the workshop.  A volume from the
conference will be published in Fall 2009. Depending on the number of
high quality submissions, a poster/demo session may also be held.

Practical Information
================
The conference will be held in Viareggio, Italy on 15 June 2009. More
details will be available soon at the conference website at
<http://www.cacaoproject.eu/NLP4DL09>.

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
(deadline: May, 10, 2009) 


Computational Linguistics - Applications Workshop (CLA'09) 
http://cla.imcsit.org/
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

event of 
International Multiconference on Computer Science and Information
Technology (IMCSIT 2009) 

12-14 October 2009, Mragowo, Poland


The CLA Workshop is located within the framework of the IMCSIT
conference to create a dialog between researchers and practitioners
involved in Computational Linguistics and related areas of Information
Technology.

IMSCIT is a multi-disciplinary conference gathering scientists form
the different fields of IT & Computer Science together with
representatives of industry and end-users.
IMSCIT with its motto: "new ideas are born not inside peoples' heads
but in the space between them", quickly became a unique place to share
thoughts and ideas. This year's gathering is held in October 2009 in a
beautiful town of Mragowo in the midst of Mazury Lake Country.


Workshop Goals
==============

The Computational Linguistics - Applications Workshop was created in
2008 in response to the fast-paced progress in the area.

Traditionally, computational linguistics was limited to the scientists
specialized in the processing of a natural language by computers.
Scientific approaches and practical techniques come from linguistics,
computer science, psychology, and mathematics. Nowadays, there is a
number of practical applications available. These applications are
sometimes developed by smart yet NLP-untrained developers who solve
the problems using sophisticated heuristics.

Computational Linguistics needs to be applied to make the full use of
the Internet. There is a definite need for software that can handle
unstructured text to allow search for information on the
web. According to the European Commission, Human Language Technologies
are one of the key research areas for the upcoming years. The priority
aim of the research in this area is to enable users to communicate
with the computer in their native language.

CLA'09 Workshop is a place where the parties meet to exchange views
and ideas with a benefit to all involved. The Workshop will focus on
practical outcome of modeling human language use and the applications
needed to improve human-machine interaction.


Paper Topics
============

This call is for papers that present research and developments on all
aspects of Natural Language Processing used in real-life applications,
such as (this list is not exhaustive):

 * information retrieval
 * extraction of linguistic knowledge from text corpora
 * semantic ontologies in computer linguistics
 * lexical resources
 * machine translation and translation aids
 * ambiguity resolution
 * text classification
 * corpus-based language modeling
 * POS-tagging
 * parsing issues
 * proofing tools
 * dialogue systems
 * machine learning methods applied to language processing
 * ontology and taxonomy evaluation
 * opinion mining
 * question answering
 * sentiment analysis
 * speech and audio processing
 * text summarization
 * use of NLP techniques in practical applications



Paper Presentation
==================

The presentation of the paper has to include a demonstration of
an existing tool. The papers should include a section describing the tool
(or a prototype), which demonstrates the theory discussed in the paper.

The presentation is divided into two parts. First, the author(s) shortly
demonstrate their tools to the audience. In the second part, the authors
discuss their work with other participants and let the audience test their
software.

Papers will be evaluated and accepted on the basis of their technical
merit, usefulness of the real life application and relevance to the
workshop scope by the CLA'09 Program Committee
(http://www.imcsit.org/md/cmt/⊂=219&pars=2). The paper will be assessed
by academics as well as industry representatives in order to assure fair
and balanced assessment.

All accepted and presented papers will be published in the Conference
Proceedings and included in the IEEE Xplore(R) database. The best
demonstrations will be selected to be shown to the general audience
of the conference at a plenary session.



Papers Submission Requirements
==============================

 * Authors should submit full papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord file).
 * The submissions are accepted via conference submission system
(http://www.papers.imcsit.org/) until May, 10, 2009.
 * The total length of a paper should not exceed 8 pages (IEEE style).

OBJECTIVE

 Following the success of the first Workshop on Building and Using
 Comparable Corpora
 http://www.limsi.fr/~pz/lrec2008-comparable-corpora/ at LREC 2008,
 this workshop aims to bring together language engineers as well as
 linguists interested in the constitution and use of comparable
 corpora, ranging from parallel to non-parallel corpora. In the larger
 context of the joint ACL-IJCNLP, this workshop aims to solicit
 contributions from researchers in different geographical regions, in
 order to highlight in particular the issues with comparable corpora
 across languages that are very different from each other, such as
 across Asian and European languages. Research in minority languages
 is also of particular interest.


MOTIVATION

 Research in comparable corpora has been motivated by two main reasons
 in the language engineering and the linguistics communities. In
 language engineering, it is chiefly motivated by the need to use
 comparable corpora as training data for statistical NLP applications
 such as statistical machine translation or cross-lingual retrieval.
 In linguistics, on the other hand, comparable corpora are of interest
 themselves in providing intra-linguistic discoveries and
 comparisons. It is generally accepted in both communities that
 comparable corpora are documents in one to many languages, that are
 comparable in content and form in various degrees and dimensions. It
 was pointed out that parallel corpora are at one end of the spectrum
 of comparability whereas quasi-comparable corpora are at the other
 end. We believe that the linguistic definitions and observations in
 comparable corpora can improve methods to mine such corpora for
 applications to statistical NLP. As such, it is of great interest to
 bring together builders and users of such corpora.

 Parallel corpora are a key resource as training data for statistical
 machine translation, and for building or extending bilingual lexicons
 and terminologies. However, beyond a few language pairs such as
 English-French or English-Chinese and a few contexts such as
 parliamentary debates or legal texts, they remain a scarce resource,
 despite the creation of automated methods to collect parallel corpora
 from the Web. Interests in non-parallel forms of comparable corpora
 in language engineering primarily ensued from the scarcity of
 parallel corpora. This has motivated research into the use of
 comparable corpora: pairs of monolingual corpora selected according
 to the same set of criteria, but in different languages or language
 varieties. Non-parallel yet comparable corpora overcome the two
 limitations of parallel corpora, since sources for original,
 monolingual texts are much more abundant than translated
 texts. However, because of their nature, mining translations in
 comparable corpora is much more challenging than in parallel
 corpora. What constitutes a good comparable corpus, for a given task
 or per se, also requires specific attention: while the definition of
 a parallel corpus is fairly straightforward, building a non-parallel
 corpus requires control over the selection of source texts in both
 languages.

 With the advent of online data, the potential for building and
 exploring comparable corpora is growing exponentially. Comparable
 documents in languages that are very different from each other pose
 special challenges as very often, the non-parallel-ness in sentences
 can result from cultural and political differences.


INVITED SPEAKER

 Kenneth Ward Church (Microsoft Research, Redmond)

          The Third Linguistic Annotation Workshop (LAW III)

       Sponsored by the Association for Computational Linguistics
          Special Interest Group for Annotation (ACL-SIGANN)

               Held in conjunction with ACL-IJCNLP 2009
                          Suntec, Singapore
                           6-7 August 2009

          http://www.ling.uni-potsdam.de/acl-lab/LAW-09.html

Linguistically annotated corpora play a major role in parsing,
information extraction, question answering, machine translation and
many other areas of computational linguistics, and provide an
empirical testbed for theoretical linguistics research. This has led
to a proliferation of annotation systems, frameworks, formats, and
schemes. Recognition of the need to harmonize annotation practices and
frameworks has become increasingly critical, as witnessed by numerous
workshops dealing with different aspects of linguistic annotation over
the past few years. The Linguistic Annotation Workshop (The LAW)
provides a forum for discussing these different aspects. Specifically,
the goals of this workshop include:

(1) The exchange and propagation of research results with respect to
the annotation, manipulation and exploitation of corpora, taking into
account different applications and theoretical investigations in the
field of language technology and research;

(2) Working towards the harmonization and interoperability from the
perspective of the increasingly large number of tools and frameworks
that support the creation, instantiation, manipulation, querying, and
exploitation of annotated resources;

(3) Working towards a consensus on all issues crucial to the
advancement of the field of corpus annotation.

The workshop will include presentations of long (8 page) and short (4
page) papers, a poster session, and demonstrations of annotation
tools, databases, and the like. Long papers should reflect work in an
advanced state, but short papers and posters may describe more
preliminary work and pilot studies. Posters and proposals for a system
demonstration are to be submitted in the form of a short (4 page)
paper. A demonstration proposal should provide an overview of the
system to be demonstrated, including functionality, supported
input/output formats or structures, supported languages and
modalities, etc. Accepted proposals will also appear in the
proceedings and are intended to provide background for the
demonstration.

The topics of all contributions may cover any aspect of linguistic
annotation including:

- New annotation schemes for linguistic phenomena at any level, or
  proposals for significant improvements to existing schemes
- Evaluation of emerging or existing standards for linguistic
  annotation
- Machine learning and knowledge-based methods for automation of
  corpus annotation
- Linguistic considerations for merging of annotation of distinct
  phenomena
- Evaluation considerations for corpus annotation
- Comparison and/or evaluation of existing annotation systems,
  including functionality, common/missing features, accommodation of
  different input/output formats and resource types (lexicons,
  knowledge bases, ontologies, etc.)
- Creation, maintenance, and interactive exploration of annotation
  structures and annotated data
- Representation formats/structures for merged annotations of
  different phenomena, and means to explore/manipulate them
- Assessment of, and potential means to achieve, interoperability of
  annotation formats/frameworks among different systems as well as
  different tasks, frameworks, modalities, and languages


Submissions
---------------
Long paper submissions should not exceed 8 pages in length. Short
papers, posters and demo descriptions should not exceed 4
pages. Format requirements are the same as for full papers of ACL
2009.  See
http://www.acl-ijcnlp-2009.org/main/authors/stylefiles/index.html for
style files.  Submission will be electronic, using the Workshop's
submission webpage at START:
https://www.softconf.com/acl-ijcnlp09/LAW/

Please indicate on the front page:
- long paper, short paper, poster, or demonstration proposal;
- all applicable paper categories from the following list (indicate
  multiple categories if appropriate): annotation frameworks and/or
  physical formats, annotation scheme design (on linguistic grounds),
  annotation tools and systems, corpus annotation, syntax, semantics,
  predicate-argument structure, morphology, anaphora, discourse,
  opinion/sentiment;
- language(s) your work applies to, as well and those you plan to
  handle in the future. If your work is language independent, indicate
  this as well;
- any non-standard equipment needed for your paper or demonstration.

All papers must be written and presented in English.


Reviewing
-------------
The reviewing of the papers will be blind. The paper should not
include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore,
self-citations and other references (e.g. to projects, corpora, or
software) that could reveal the author's identity should be
avoided. For example, instead of "We previously showed (Smith, 1991)
....", write "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...".

Bonjour,

Dans le cadre de son partenariat avec le RMIT de Melbourne, l'?cole
Epitech et l'ACSEL (Advanced Computer Science Epitech Laboratory) vous
propose deux s?minaires :

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Le Lundi 6 Avril 2009 - Andrew Turpin : How do Search Engines Work?

Epitech, 24, rue Pasteur 94270 Le Kremlin Bic?tre
Metro porte d'italie

R?sum? :

We have all become very accustomed to using search engines like
Google, but how is it possible to find 10 pages amongst 80 million Web
pages in less than a second?  This talk will give an overview of the
algorithms and data structures used to make a search engines work, and
then focus on the work of one of our PhD students on the algorithms
for generating short summaries of returned pages: snippets.

A propos de l'auteur :

Associate Professor Andrew Turpin is Head of the Information Storage,
Analysis and Retrieval Discipline at the School of Computer Science
and Information Technology, RMIT University, Melbourne Australia, and
an ARC Queen Elizabeth II Research Fellow. He completed his PhD at The
University of Melbourne on data compression in 1999, subsequently
spent several years at Devers Eye Institute and Oregon Health and
Sciences University in Portland Oregon, then four more years after
that teaching computer science at Curtin University of Technology in
Perth. After a short time as Senior Lecturer at The University of
Melbourne, he has spent the last 4.5 years at RMIT as part of The
Search Engine Group.  His recent research interests are in evaluating
information retrieval engines, algorithms for pattern searching, and
computational methods for diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Le jeudi 16 Avril 2009 ? 19h - James Thom : User evaluation studies
for information retrieval and database research

Epitech, 24, rue Pasteur 94270 Le Kremlin Bic?tre
Metro porte d'italie

R?sum? :

The Cranfield methodology is the basis for the evaluation of many
major international collaborative retrieval experiments (such as TREC,
TRECVID, INEX, and CLEF), and requires user assessments on the
relevance of answers returned by retrieval systems. In this talk I
will present user evaluation studies in three quite different
contexts: database schema matching, filtering of search engine
results, and mediated enterprise search.  In the first study, users
identify matches between pairs of database schemas to support the
evaluation of the effectiveness of using a Star ontology to represent
schemas in data warehouse. The user study on filtering of educational
resources shows that assessment criteria other than relevance can be
valuable in specialized retrieval environments.  The user study on
enterprise search quantifies the cost and benefit to an information
service provider of investing in mediated enterprise search.

A propos de l'auteur :

James Thom is an Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science
and IT, at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. He received his
PhD from the University of Melbourne in 1993, with a thesis in the
area of document database systems. His research interests encompass
mostly databases and information retrieval, and he has published 75
refereed papers in journals and conferences, including publications in
ACM Transactions on Database Systems, ACM Transactions on the Web,
IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, IEEE Transactions
on Multimedia, Journal of the American Society for Information
Science, Information Processing and Management, and Information
Retrieval.

*********** CALL FOR PAPERS ***********

Text Mining and Applications (TeMA?09) Track of EPIA09

TeMA-2009 will be held at the 14th Portuguese Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (EPIA 2009), in University of Aveiro, Portugal, 12-15
October 2009. This track is organized under the auspices of the

[1] Track Description:

Pure symbolic methods for Language Processing alone are unable to
address human languages complexity. Text Mining and Machine Learning
techniques applied to text, raw or annotated, brought up new insights
and completely shifted the approaches to Human Language
Technologies. Both approaches, symbolic and statistical based, when
duly integrated, bridge the gap between language theories and
effective use of languages, and enable important applications. Our
aim, with this track, is to bring together innovative contributions to
fill in this gap.
The track of Text Mining and Applications is a forum for researchers
working in natural language processing (NLP), computational
linguistics (CL), Machine Learning (ML) and related areas.
Authors are invited to submit their papers on any of the issues
identified below. Papers will be blindly reviewed by three members of
the Programme Committee. Best papers will be published at Springer, in
LNAI series. If there are additional papers whose quality is
sufficiently high for deserving to be presented at TeMA?09, those
other accepted papers will be published in a conference proceedings
book.

=========================================================

*Pr?sentation de la conf?rence *

Dans tous les domaines, les documents sont porteurs de connaissances
et servent de support ? leur m?morisation et ? leur transmission. La
gestion des documents (classement, pertinence face ? une requ?te,
etc..), l'acquisition et l'extraction des connaissances en vue
d'indexation, de mod?lisation ou de conceptualisation s'appuient
parfois sur des ?tudes terminologiques et linguistiques. Ainsi la
terminologie et la linguistique fournissent des clefs essentielles ?
d'autres disciplines comme le traitement automatique des langues, les
sciences de l?information et l?ing?nierie des connaissances. En
retour, ces disciplines soul?vent de nouveaux probl?mes et ouvrent des
perspectives in?dites. Depuis une quinzaine d'ann?es, les conf?rences
TIA sont un lieu d'?changes entre des chercheurs de ces diff?rentes
disciplines.  Les journ?es TIA 2009 seront particuli?rement focalis?es
mais pas exclusivement sur les termes et les structures
terminologiques. Les termes sont utilis?s dans de nombreuses
applications comme pivots de la structuration des connaissances : les
ontologies, les th?saurus documentaires et autres ressources
terminologiques plus classiques comme les dictionnaires sp?cialis?s et
les bases de donn?es terminologiques.  Entre les termes, on d?gage un
nombre plus ou moins ?lev? de relations s?mantiques. Or si toutes ces
applications se caract?risent par la recherche d?une certaine
stabilit?, la nature linguistique des termes et des relations dans
lesquelles ils entrent soul?ve de nombreuses questions. Quelles
relations repr?senter en fonction de l?application ?  Comment
repr?senter les termes ainsi que les relations dans lesquelles ils se
trouvent ? Comment lier les relations repr?sent?es dans les ressources
terminologiques et leurs r?alisations linguistiques dans les textes ?

Les communications pourront aborder des questions th?oriques ou porter
sur des aspects m?thodologiques. Les travaux interdisciplinaires
mettant l?accent sur les convergences et les coop?rations possibles
entre diff?rentes disciplines autour de questions terminologiques sont
particuli?rement bienvenus.

Call for Papers

First NLP4DL Workshop
Viareggio, Italy
15 June 2009

Digital libraries represent a crucial contact point among traditional
libraries, recent advances in Information Technology, and Natural
Language Processing technologies. In a sense, digital libraries
represent a *perfect* crossroads: they are mainly  built out of text,
they are consulted by humans via natural language, and one of the
major tools  for accessing the information they hold, metadata, is a
mix of structured and unstructured information. The First Natural
Language Processing for Digital Libraries (NLP4DL) workshop, organised
under the auspices of the CACAO project (eContentplus Programme of the
European Commission, ECP 2006 DILI 510035 CACAO), aims to collect all
fundamental and innovative research which is done in connection with
Natural Language Technologies applied to the digital libraries
universe. The workshop will host invited speakers together with
talks/papers concerning:


-free text access to full-text digital libraries;
-access to digital resources via metadata;
-NLP techniques for harmonizing metadata in digital library (DL)
 federations;
-cross-language access to DLs;
-cross-language harmonization of metadata;
-discovery in DLs: hyperlinking, clustering, user-oriented
 categorization;
-management of digital collections via NLP-based algorithms;
-adaptation of linguistic resources to thematic DLs;
-fundamental issues: named entity extraction, word sense
 disambiguation, translation disambiguation.

All abstracts papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted contributions
will be distributed on a CD at the workshop.  A volume from the
conference will be published in Fall 2009. Depending on the number of
high quality submissions, a poster/demo session may also be held.

Practical Information
================
The conference will be held in Viareggio, Italy on 15 June 2009. More
details will be available soon at the conference website at
http://www.cacaoproject.eu/NLP4DL09 .

Important Dates
============

Deadline for submission (Abstract, maximum five pages): 20  April 2009
(flexible, upon notice); submission should be sent as a PDF file to
nlp4dl at research.celi.it .

Notification of acceptance: 4 May 2009

Conference version of the paper due (Instructions will be provided to
authors): 1 June 2009

Conference date: 15  June 2009

- D?veloppement d'un outil de compression de phrases pour le r?sum?
  automatique de textes

- D?veloppement d'un outil de cat?gorisation des opinions pour des
  domaines sp?cifiques


********************************
Outil de compression de phrases
********************************

* CONTEXTE : Projet ANR RPM2 (R?sum? Plurim?dia, Multi-documents et
  Multi-opinion). Pour plus d'infos : http://labs.sinequa.com/rpm2/

* SUJET DU STAGE : D?veloppement d?un outil de compression de phrases
  pour le r?sum? automatique de textes

* OBJECTIFS DU STAGE : 

Le stage a pour objectif le d?veloppement d?un outil de compression de
phrases pour le r?sum? automatique de textes. Ce travail s?inscrit
dans le cadre d?un projet de recherche ANR relatif au d?veloppement
d?un syst?me de r?sum? multim?dia et multi-opinion. Dans ce contexte
particulier, nous nous int?ressons au cas du r?sum? par extraction :
il s?agit de constituer un r?sum? par s?lection et concat?nation des
phrases les plus pertinentes du document source. Le r?sum? ainsi
produit peut alors pr?senter des ?l?ments superflus et/ou redondants
que l?on souhaiterait ?liminer. L?outil de compression de phrases
intervient ? ce niveau. Il n?est cependant pas exclu que la
compression puisse intervenir en amont du syst?me de r?sum? i.e. avant
la phase d?extraction des phrases pertinentes.

Il existe deux grandes approches pour la compression de phrases :
l?approche linguistique qui consiste ? d?finir des r?gles et
l?approche statistique qui utilise un corpus d?apprentissage pour
d?tecter des r?gularit?s statistiques exploitables. Certaines m?thodes
dites ? hybrides ? s?attachent ? combiner ces deux approches afin de
tirer parti des avantages de chacune. A partir d?un ?tat de l?art, la
personne recrut?e sera amen?e ? r?aliser une ?valuation des m?thodes
existantes afin de d?terminer l?approche finale. Aucune approche n?est
privil?gi?e a priori. Une attention particuli?re devra ?tre port?e ?
deux ?l?ments caract?ristiques d?une bonne compression : la
grammaticalit? et la concision. La grammaticalit? consiste ? s?assurer
que la phrase est grammaticalement correcte. La concision correspond
au fait qu?une phrase compress?e doit rendre compte de l?information
essentielle de la phrase originale.

Une ?valuation des performances de l?outil sera r?alis?e en fin de
stage sur la base d?un corpus annot? manuellement. Des mesures
classiques d??valuation seront utilis?es avec prise en compte de la
grammaticalit? et de la concision.

La personne sera int?gr?e ? l??quipe en charge des projets de
recherche.


* CONNAISSANCES ET NIVEAU SOUHAIT?S :

- Linguistique Informatique, Bac+5 - Master 2
- Apprentissage supervis? (SVM, perceptron, mod?les de Markov)
- Mod?les de langages
- Bonne ma?trise du langage Java et d?un langage de script (Perl,
  Python)

* El?ments facultatifs mais consid?r?s comme un plus :

- Ma?trise d'une ou plusieurs langues ?trang?res
- Connaissance des techniques de r?sum? automatique

Outil de cat?gorisation des opinions
*************************************

* CONTEXTE : Projet ANR RPM2 (R?sum? Plurim?dia, Multi-documents et
  Multi-opinion). Pour plus d'infos : http://labs.sinequa.com/rpm2/


* SUJET DU STAGE : D?veloppement d?un outil de cat?gorisation des
  opinions pour des domaines sp?cifiques


* OBJECTIFS DU STAGE : 

L?objectif du stage est la mise en place d?un outil de cat?gorisation
des opinions dans un ensemble de classes de type positif, n?gatif,
neutre. Ce travail s?inscrit dans le cadre d?un projet de recherche
ANR relatif au d?veloppement d?un syst?me de r?sum? multim?dia et
multi-opinion. Dans ce contexte particulier, il s?agit de produire des
r?sum?s textuels prenant en compte les opinions afin de donner la
parole ? des courants distincts, des sources d?informations avec des
points de vue diff?rents. En cela, l??tiquetage de l?opinion, ce
qu?elle exprime, nous int?resse particuli?rement et il s?agit ici de
faire de la cat?gorisation selon des types d?opinions pr??tablis afin
de pouvoir rendre dans le r?sum? final les diff?rents points de vue
exprim?s.

Dans une premi?re phase, il s?agira de mettre en place un outil
d?extraction d?opinions et de cat?gorisation de ces opinions. Le
formalisme utilis? reste ? d?finir. Des lexiques d?opinions
th?matiques devront cependant probablement ?tre sp?cifi?s et
d?velopp?s. Ce travail sera men? en ?troite collaboration avec le p?le
linguistique de la soci?t?. Cette premi?re phase constitue la brique
de base du syst?me.

Dans une seconde phase, on s?attachera ? mettre en place un syst?me de
rattachement des objets cibles aux opinions exprim?es. On se
focalisera alors sur les objets du domaine, leurs instances, leurs
attributs ainsi que leurs propri?t?s pour construire un syst?me
complet d?analyse d?opinion. L??tude passera par une ?tape de
mod?lisation du domaine ainsi que par la mise en place d?un processus
qui fera le lien entre le mod?le du domaine et les lexiques d?opinions
d?j? d?velopp?s.

La personne sera int?gr?e ? l??quipe en charge des projets de
recherche.

Application must be delivered before 30 Apr, 2009 - 23:59:59CET

The Internet is the richest reservoir of human knowledge that has ever
existed. Advanced software tools are needed to monitor and process the
vast amount of material available on-line. The Action OPTIMA
(OPensource Text Information Mining and Analysis) develops innovative
solutions for retrieving and extracting information from the Internet,
and especially from online news and blogs. It serves many Commission
Services, EU agencies and some EU Member State authorities. The core
of this action is the Europe Media Monitor (EMM).

 

Examples of current work are automatic sentiment analysis,
multilingual multi-document summarisation, event extraction, automatic
entity recognition and name variant mapping, as well as various
cross-language applications.  Rule-based, as well as Machine Learning
and hybrid methods are being used to achieve these goals.

 

These techniques are already to some extent being deployed in several
operational applications (see http://press.jrc.it/overview.html) and
part of the work would be in support of these applications. The
on-going research has a strong focus on applicability in a
multilingual environment. The work is highly practical and
goal-oriented. Research results are expected to be used
operationally. The candidate is expected to contribute to scientific
publications of the research results.

 

The person we are looking for will be working on research activities
in the field of automatic multilingual text analysis. We are
specifically looking for somebody with experience in writing robust
grammars for information extraction, to complement machine learning
work in this area. A large part of the candidate's work will be to
help to write information extraction patterns, either from scratch or
by rewriting and generalising automatically learned patterns.

 

The system within which the results will be deployed is implemented in
Java as a set of servlets in Tomcat. Good programming skills,
preferably in Java are therefore recommended.

 

University degree in computational linguistics, computer science or
related areas.

 

Doctoral degree in a similar discipline, or equivalent work experience
of 5 years. The working language of the action is English and strong
English language skills are therefore required. Given the multilingual
aspect of the work, active knowledge of at least one other language
and an understanding of at least one more is also required.

 

Good knowledge of Arabic, Farsi or Chinese would be seen as an asset.

 

Duration : 36 months

PRESENTATION
____________________________________________________________________

MajecSTIC est une s?rie de conf?rences organis?es par des doctorants
pour les chercheurs d?butants (Master 2, doctorants, post-docs, ATER,
...), dans les domaines des Sciences et Technologies de l'Information
et de la Communication (STIC).

MajecSTIC vise ? fournir un lieu d'?change scientifique autour de
divers travaux des domaines des STIC. De plus, elle permet la
rencontre de chercheurs d?butants, futurs acteurs de collaborations
entre laboratoires de recherche, partenaires industriels, ...

La pluridisciplinarit? offre ? chacun la possibilit? de s'ouvrir ?
d'autres domaines, les soumissions exigeant une part de vulgarisation
afin d'?tre accessibles au plus grand nombre de chercheurs en STIC.



DATES IMPORTANTES
____________________________________________________________________

Cl?ture des soumissions : 15 mai 2009
Notification aux auteurs : 08 juillet 2009
R?ception des versions d?finitives : 09 septembre 2009



SOUMISSIONS
____________________________________________________________________

MajecSTIC 2009 accepte deux types de propositions d'articles :
articles longs et articles courts. Les premiers donneront lieu ? une
pr?sentation de 20 minutes suivie de questions, les seconds ? la
pr?sentation d'un poster lors d'une session interactive d?di?e.  Les
communications pr?sent?es ? MajecSTIC 2009 seront disponibles sur un
site Web, les actes seront ?dit?s et distribu?s ? tous les
participants.

Le public vis? est un public de chercheurs d?butants issus de tous les
domaines des STIC. Il est donc conseill? de structurer son article en
deux parties : une premi?re partie accessible ? tout titulaire d'un
Master 2 en STIC doit pr?senter clairement la probl?matique, sa
pertinence et l'originalit? de l'approche par rapport ? l'?tat de
l'art, tandis qu'une deuxi?me partie peut ?tre plus technique et
s'adresser ? des sp?cialistes du domaine.

Les articles longs ne devront pas d?passer 8 pages, tandis que les
courts seront r?dig?s sur 4 pages. Ils devront respecter le style
fourni sur le site (LaTeX - recommand?, OpenOffice.org ou Word).  La
langue officielle est le fran?ais, toutefois les publications en
anglais sont accept?es si les chercheurs n'?taient pas originaires
d'un pays francophone avant de commencer leur th?se.

Chaque proposition sera ?valu?e par au moins deux sp?cialistes du
domaine consid?r?. Un sp?cialiste d'un autre domaine ?valuera de plus
son accessibilit?.

Les soumissions se feront sur le site de la conf?rence :
http://majecstic2009.univ-avignon.fr




DEROULEMENT DE LA CONFERENCE
____________________________________________________________________

La conf?rence se tiendra sur 3 jours dans les locaux de l'Universit?
d'Avignon et des Pays de Vaucluse. Outre les pr?sentations des
participants et les sessions posters, des personnalit?s issues du
monde acad?mique et industriel animeront des conf?rences pleini?res..
De plus, un forum d'entreprises sera organis?, permettant ainsi la
rencontre entre chercheurs et industriels.

Toutes les informations pratiques concernant le d?roulement de la
conf?rence seront disponibles sur le site.

Linguistic and Psycholinguistic Approaches to Text Structuring
(LPTS 2009)

September 21-23 2009

Ecole Normale Sup?rieure, 45 rue d?Ulm, 75005 Paris
France

Call for Papers

The aim of the conference is to provide an interdisciplinary forum to
present and discuss recent work on markers of discourse structure:
adverbials, connectives, discourse particles, etc. How can we
categorize these markers? What kind of relations do they express? Can
they combine several functions at the sentence level and/ or at the
discourse level and, if so, which ones? What impact do discourse
structure markers have on comprehension? When and how are they
acquired? From what age are children able to master their use in oral
and written discourse?

The goal of the conference is more specifically to advance research
into the relationship between the position of the markers concerned
and their ability to play a role in discourse organization.  Do these
markers have a privileged position? We know that sentence initial
position is a strategic position in terms of information
structuring/packaging and memory. But can these factors override the
word order constraints of each language? Are there also observable
variations between discourse genres and between written and oral
modes?

We invite papers using cognitive and functional approaches, based on
corpora in different languages at different stages of their evolution,
as well as papers that report on psycholinguistic approaches based on
behavioural data.

Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Segmentation and linearization
- Initial positioning
- Saliency and Information Structure
- Grammaticalization and evolution of structure markers
- Typological approach to structure markers
- Spatial and temporal discourse structure
- Effects of discourse organization markers on comprehension
- Acquisition and mastery of their use in discourse production
- Role of text structuring devices in acquiring knowledge

Invited speakers:
Peter Crompton (American University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates)
Tuomas Huumo (University of Turku, Finland)
Tuija Virtanen (?bo Akademi University Department Of English, Finland)
Isabelle Tapi?ro (University of Lyon 2 ? EMC, France)

Approches linguistiques et psycholinguistiques de la structuration des textes

(LPTS 2009)

21-23 septembre 2009

Ecole Normale Sup?rieure, 45 rue d?Ulm, 75005 Paris
France


2eme Appel ? soumissions


Le but du colloque est de permettre aux chercheurs travaillant sur les
marqueurs de structuration des discours (adverbiaux, connecteurs,
particules ?nonciatives etc.) de pr?senter les r?sultats de leurs
analyses et de les confronter avec ceux d'?quipes conduisant des
recherches dans le domaine. Les points abord?s porteront notamment sur
les questions suivantes : comment cat?goriser ces marqueurs ? Quels
types de relations expriment-ils ? Peuvent-ils cumuler plusieurs
fonctions dans la phrase et/ou dans le discours et, si oui, lesquelles
? Peut-on par ailleurs observer des variations d?usage selon les
genres de discours et entre l??crit et l?oral ? Quel impact ces
marqueurs ont-ils sur la compr?hension? Quand et comment sont-ils
acquis ?  A partir de quel ?ge les sujets ma?trisent-ils leur usage
tant ? l'oral qu'? l'?crit?

On s'attachera, plus sp?cifiquement, ? faire avancer la r?flexion sur
les relations entre la position de ces marqueurs et leur capacit? ?
jouer un r?le dans l?organisation du discours.  Ces marqueurs ont une
affinit? particuli?re avec la zone pr?verbale, qui est une position
strat?gique d?un point de vue informationnel et m?moriel. Mais ces
facteurs peuvent-ils l?emporter sur les contraintes d?ordre des mots
propres ? chaque langue ou famille de langues ?

Du point de vue th?orique et m?thodologique, le colloque privil?giera
les approches cognitives et fonctionnalistes, fond?es sur des corpus
dans diff?rentes langues ? diff?rents stades de leur ?volution, ainsi
que les approches psycholinguistiques fond?es sur des donn?es
comportementales.



Liste de th?mes (non limitative)

    *    Segmentation et lin?arisation
    *    Position dans la phrase et dans le discours
    *    Saillance et structure informationnelle
    *    Origine des marqueurs de structuration 
         du discours et processus de grammaticalisation
    *    Structuration spatiale et temporelle des discours
    *    Approche typologique des marqueurs de structuration

Apprentissage automatique pour le TAL

La revue TAL (http://www.atala.org/-Revue-TAL) lance un appel ?
contribution sur le sujet de l'apprentissage automatique pour le TAL.
L'apprentissage automatique (ou apprentissage artificiel) est l'?tude
des algorithmes qui permettent aux programmes de s'am?liorer
automatiquement par exp?rience (d?finition de Tom Mitchell dans son
livre "Machine Learning"). Le domaine a connu ces derni?res ann?es un
d?veloppement consid?rable, et ses interactions avec le TAL sont de
plus en plus ?troites et fr?quentes.

Du c?t? des linguistes, les int?r?ts de ce rapprochement sont
nombreux.  En effet, la constitution manuelle de ressources est en
g?n?ral longue et co?teuse, et doit ?tre recommenc?e pour chaque
langue diff?rente, et pour chaque sous-domaine sp?cifique d'une
langue. L'apprentissage automatique offre une alternative s?duisante,
en permettant d'obtenir ou d'am?liorer ? moindre frais de telles
ressources, et de s'assurer qu'elles sont robustes et ? large
couverture. La d?marche inductive, employ?e depuis longtemps en
linguistique de corpus, peut ainsi ?tre op?rationnalis?e ? grande
?chelle, et ses r?sultats test?s de fa?on syst?matique. Quant aux
th?ories formelles de l'apprentissage, elles contribuent aussi ?
alimenter le d?bat sur l'acquisition des langues naturelles, r?current
depuis les ann?es 50.

De leur c?t?, les sp?cialistes de l'apprentissage automatique voient
dans le TAL un domaine d'application privil?gi?, pourvoyeur de
probl?mes nombreux et difficiles, et de donn?es en grande
quantit?. Mais la prudence est souvent de mise quant ?
l'interpr?tabilit? des r?sultats obtenus. Les m?thodes employ?es sont
de plus en plus fond?es sur des math?matiques raffin?es, r?serv?es aux
sp?cialistes : dans ce contexte, la linguistique a-t-elle encore son
mot ? dire ? Quelle confiance un linguiste peut-il accorder au
r?sultat d'un programme d'apprentissage automatique ?

La revue TAL consacre un num?ro aux relations entre apprentissage
automatique et traitement de la langue, particuli?rement dans sa
dimension textuelle. Au del? de compte-rendus d'exp?riences visant ?
appliquer telle m?thode d'apprentissage automatique ? tel domaine de
la linguistique, nous souhaitons encourager une r?flexion plus large
sur les enjeux th?oriques et m?thodologiques de la d?marche. Quelle
que soit l'approche d?crite, un effort devra donc ?tre fait pour
expliciter les hypoth?ses tant linguistiques qu'informatiques des
techniques mises en oeuvre.

Les approches de l'apprentissage automatique choisies peuvent ?tre :

- th?oriques, li?es ? l'apprenabilit?/non apprenabilit? suivant des
  crit?res formels de classes d'objets

- empiriques, s'appuyant sur un protocole exp?rimental exploitant des
  donn?es annot?es (apprentissage supervis?) ou non annot?es
  (apprentissage non supervis?)

Les m?thodes d'apprentissage mises en oeuvre peuvent ?tre :
- symbolique (inf?rence grammaticale, PLI...)
- ? base de mod?les probabilistes (g?n?ratifs ou discriminants)
- ? base de similarit?s (voisinages, analogie, "memory-based
  learning"...)

Les domaines d'applications peuvent ?tre :

- l'acquisition ou l'am?lioration de ressources linguistiques (y
  compris : automates, grammaires, cadres de sous-cat?gorisations,
  ontologies de concepts...)

- l'analyse de la parole

- l'annotation de corpus (?tiquetage lexical, syntaxique, fonctionnel,
  th?matique, s?mantique...)

- le clustering et la classification de textes (suivant diff?rents
  crit?res possibles : auteur, contenu, opinion...)

- la recherche d'information

- l'extraction d'information (y compris : extraction et typage des
  entit?s nomm?es)

- les syst?mes questions/r?ponses

- le r?sum? automatique

- la traduction automatique

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

Machine Learning for NLP

The revue TAL (http://www.atala.org/-Revue-TAL) proposes a call for
papers on the subject of "Machine Learning for NLP". Machine Learning
is the study of algorithms that allow computer programs to
automatically improve through experience (definition proposed by Tom
Mitchell in his "Machine Learning" book). This domain has drastically
increased in the last few years, and its interactions with NLP are
more and more tight and frequent.

 From a linguistic point of view, the interests for this evolution are
numerous. As a matter of fact, manually built resources are
time-consuming and expensive, and the process must be started again
for each distinct language and each distinct sub-domain of a language.
Machine Learning offers an attractive alternative, allowing to obtain
or improve at a lower cost such a resource, with better guaranties of
robustness and coverage. The inductive approach, used for a long time
in the "corpus linguistic" community, can now be operationalized at a
large scale, and its results be rigorously tested. And formal theories
of learning also contribute to the long-standing debate about natural
language acquisition.

 From a Machine Learning point of view, NLP is a rich application
domain where problems are numerous and difficult, and for which many
data are usually available. But the interpretability of the obtained
results is often problematic. More and more subtle specialist-reserved
mathematical device are used : in this context, is linguistics still
useful ? What confidence can a linguist have on the result of a
Machine Learning system ?

A number of the electronic review TAL will be dedicated to this theme.
Beyond reports about yet another experiment applying a special Machine
Learning method on a special linguistic task, more general theoretical
and methodological reflexions are encouraged. For each contribution
and each method used, a special effort should be made to clarify what
are the linguistic as well as computational underlying hypotheses.

The Machine Learning approach considered can be : - either
theoretical, concerning learnability/non learnability results for
classes of objects, with respect to formal criteria - either
empirical, based on an experimental protocol exploiting annotated (in
the case of supervised learning) or not annotated (in the case of non
supervised learning) data

The methods used can be :
- symbolic (grammatical inference, ILP...)
- based on probabilistic (either generative or discriminative) models
- based on similarities (neighboring, analogy, memory-based
  learning...)

Application domains can be :

- acquisition or improving of resources (including automata, grammars,
  sub-categorisation frames, concept-based ontologies...)

- speech analysis

- corpus labeling (either lexical, syntactic, functional, thematic,
  semantic...)

- clustering and classification of texts (according to various
  possible criteria : author, content, opinion...)

- information extraction (including : extraction and typing of named
  entities)

- question/answering systems

- automatic summary

- automatic translation

clinique r?unit des chercheurs, enseignants-chercheurs, ing?nieurs,
m?decins et orthophonistes, diff?rents corps de m?tiers
compl?mentaires qui poursuivent le m?me objectif : une meilleure
connaissance des processus d?acquisition et de dysfonctionnement de la
parole et de la voix. Cette approche interdisciplinaire vise ?
optimiser les connaissances fondamentales relatives ? la communication
parl?e chez le sujet sain et ? mieux comprendre, ?valuer,
diagnostiquer et rem?dier aux troubles de la parole et de la voix chez
le sujet pathologique.

Les communications porteront sur les ?tudes phon?tiques de la parole
et de la voix pathologiques, chez l?adulte et chez l?enfant. Les

A new book series is going to be announced in a few weeks by a major
publisher under the (tentative) title of

Mathematics, Computing, Language, and the Life: Frontiers in
Mathematical Linguistics and Language Theory

SERIES DESCRIPTION:

Language theory, as originated from Chomsky's seminal work in the
fifties last century and in parallel to Turing-inspired automata
theory, was first applied to natural language syntax within the
context of the first unsuccessful attempts to achieve reliable machine
translation prototypes. After this, the theory proved to be very
valuable in the study of programming languages and the theory of
computing.

In the last 15-20 years, language and automata theory has experienced
quick theoretical developments as a consequence of the emergence of
new interdisciplinary domains and also as the result of demands for
application to a number of disciplines, most notably: natural language
processing, computational biology, natural computing, programming, and
artificial intelligence.

The series will collect recent research on either foundational or
applied issues, and is addressed to graduate students as well as to
post-docs and academics.

TOPIC CATEGORIES:

A. Theory: language and automata theory, combinatorics on words,
descriptional and computational complexity, semigroups, graphs and
graph transformation, trees, computability

B. Natural language processing: mathematics of natural language
processing, finite-state technology, languages and logics, parsing,
transducers, text algorithms, web text retrieval

C. Artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and programming:
patterns, pattern matching and pattern recognition, models of
concurrent systems, Petri nets, models of pictures, fuzzy languages,
grammatical inference and algorithmic learning, language-based
cryptography, data and image compression, automata for system analysis
and program verification

D. Bio-inspired computing and natural computing: cellular automata,
symbolic neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, genetic algorithms,
DNA computing, molecular computing, biomolecular nanotechnology,
circuit theory, quantum computing, chemical and optical computing,
models of artificial life

E. Bioinformatics: mathematical biology, string and combinatorial
issues in computational biology and bioinformatics, mathematical
evolutionary genomics, language processing of biological sequences,
digital libraries


The connections of this broad interdisciplinary field with other areas
include: computational linguistics, knowledge engineering, theoretical
computer science, software science, molecular biology, etc.


The first volumes will be miscellaneous and will globally define the
scope of the future series.

INVITATION TO CONTRIBUTE:

Contributions are requested for the first five volumes. In principle,
there will be no limit in length. All contributions will be submitted
to strict peer-review. Collections of papers are also welcome.

Potential contributors should express their interest in being
considered for the volumes by April 25, 2009 to
carlos.martinvide at gmail.com

They should specify:

- the tentative title of the contribution,
- the authors and affiliations,
- a 5-10 line abstract,
- the most appropriate topic category (A to E above).

A selection will be done immediately after, with invited authors
submitting their contribution for peer-review by July 25, 2009.


The volumes are expected to appear in the first months of 2010.

*********** CALL FOR PAPERS ***********

Text Mining and Applications (TeMA?09) Track of EPIA09

TeMA-2009 will be held at the 14th Portuguese Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (EPIA 2009), in University of Aveiro, Portugal, 12-15
October 2009. This track is organized under the auspices of the
Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA).

[1] Track Description:
Pure symbolic methods for Language Processing alone are unable to
address human languages complexity. Text Mining and Machine Learning
techniques applied to text, raw or annotated, brought up new insights
and completely shifted the approaches to Human Language
Technologies. Both approaches, symbolic and statistical based, when
duly integrated, bridge the gap between language theories and
effective use of languages, and enable important applications. Our
aim, with this track, is to bring together innovative contributions to
fill in this gap.
The track of Text Mining and Applications is a forum for researchers
working in natural language processing (NLP), computational
linguistics (CL), Machine Learning (ML) and related areas.
Authors are invited to submit their papers on any of the issues
identified below. Papers will be blindly reviewed by three members of
the Programme Committee. Best papers will be published at Springer, in
LNAI series. If there are additional papers whose quality is
sufficiently high for deserving to be presented at TeMA?09, those
other accepted papers will be published in a conference proceedings
book.

PROPOSITION DE STAGE OU CDD, printemps-?t? 2009

Discipline : informatique, traitement informatique des langues
Niveau : Master
Dur?e : 2 ? 6 mois
D?marrage : d?s que possible
Lieu : LIMSI-CNRS, Orsay
R?mun?ration : selon niveau
Contacts : envoyer un CV et une lettre de motivation ? :

Sujet : Rep?rage de citations dans des brevets internationaux

Le texte d'un brevet, tout comme un article scientifique, cite des
documents externes de diff?rentes natures : autres brevets,
publications scientifiques, bases de donn?es, etc. Ces documents sont
habituellement list?s en fin de brevet, comme la liste de r?f?rences
bibliographiques d'un ouvrage. Dans le corps du brevet, le mode de
citation de ces documents est variable, et utilise tout ou partie de
la d?signation du document pr?sente en fin de brevet.

Il s'agit de rep?rer automatiquement ces citations dans le corps du
brevet, de d?terminer leur type, de rep?rer ?galement la liste des
documents pr?sente en fin de brevet, et de lier chaque citation au
document appropri?. Chacun de ces ?l?ments sera alors marqu? par des
balises XML prises dans un r?pertoire fourni.

Le travail sera r?alis? sur des brevets en trois langues : anglais,
fran?ais, allemand. Une collection importante d'exemples de brevets
d?j? annot?s est disponible et pourra servir pour la mise au point,
l'entra?nement et l'?valuation des programmes.


M?thodes
--------

Plusieurs m?thodes sont envisageables : le rep?rage de patrons de
citations ? l'aide d'expressions r?guli?res est la plus directe. Pour
mettre au point ces patrons, l'?tude du corpus existant pourra ?tre en
tout ou partie automatis?e. Des approches utilisant des m?thodes et
outils d'apprentissage automatique, comme par exemple les CRF,
pourront compl?ter ou se substituer ? la mise au point de patrons.

Ce travail se fera dans le cadre du projet Quaero.


Comp?tences
-----------

Requises : ?criture de scripts.

Appr?ci?es : manipulation d'expressions r?guli?res ; exp?rience du
travail sur corpus de textes ; exp?rience de l'usage de logiciels
d'apprentissage automatique ; connaissance de l'allemand.

La notion de 'formule' en analyse du discours
Cadre th?orique et m?thodologique


Presses Universitaires de Franche-Comt? (Besan?on, France)
coll. Annales Litt?raires de l'Universit? de Franche-Comt?
146 pages
9 euros


Quatri?me de couverture :

'Mondialisation', 'choc des civilisations', 'sans-papiers', 'probl?me
des banlieues', 'fracture sociale', 'devoir de m?moire',
'd?veloppement durable', 'malbouffe'' Toutes ces expressions ' et bien
d'autres ' peuvent ?tre envisag?es comme des formules : ? un moment de
l'histoire, elles s'imposent ? la fois comme des passages oblig?s des
discours et comme des objets pol?miques dans l'espace public. Elles
condensent des enjeux politiques et sociaux. Elles cristallisent le
d?bat. Elles mettent en place des ?vidences et des questionnements.

Dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire, cet ouvrage propose un cadre
th?orique et m?thodologique pour comprendre et ?tudier de tels faits
discursifs. La pr?sentation du cadre th?orique permet de situer la
notion de formule dans ses fondements conceptuels. Les ?l?ments de
m?thode proposent au lecteur des cat?gories d'analyse et des crit?res
pour ?tudier sur corpus telle ou telle formule d?termin?e.

Ce livre est destin? ? des ?tudiants (master, doctorat) et ? des
enseignants-chercheurs de diff?rentes disciplines qui souhaitent
soumettre ? l'analyse du discours les r?alit?s politiques et sociales
dont ils se saisissent. Plus largement, ce livre retiendra l'attention
de tous ceux qui aspirent ? porter un regard critique sur les discours
dominants. Ces derniers, faut-il le pr?ciser, ne se comprennent pas
sans les contre-discours qui se donnent ? voir comme des alternatives
ou des contradictions.

L'auteure :

Alice Krieg-Planque est docteure en sciences du langage. Elle est

L'INRIA propose une th?se sur le sujet "Construction modulaire de
grammaires formelles motiv?es linguistiquement".  La th?se se
d?roulera au LORIA ? Nancy dans l'?quipe Calligramme
(http://www.loria.fr/equipes/calligramme/ ) sous la responsabilit? de
Guy Perrier, professeur d'informatique ? l'universit? Nancy 2
(Guy.Perrier at loria.fr).

Salaire propos? (net mensuel) : 1.541 ? les deux premi?res ann?es et
1.624 ? la derni?re ann?e.

Candidature ? effectuer en ligne avant le 4 mai 2009 sur le site de
l'INRIA : http://www.inria.fr/travailler/opportunites/doc.fr.html

Description du sujet:

Dans le domaine du Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL), la
n?cessit? d?avoir des grammaires formelles avec une excellente
pr?cision linguistique et une large couverture est de plus en plus
?vidente. De telles grammaires ne peuvent pas ?tre apprises
automatiquement ? partir de corpus et elles doivent ?tre construites
manuellement ? partir de connaissances linguistiques. Une telle t?che
est particuli?rement difficile pour plusieurs raisons :

- Il est difficile de maintenir la coh?rence et la lisibilit? de
  telles grammaires compte tenu de leur taille (une grammaire d?arbres
  adjoints peut avoir plus de 10000 arbres).

- Ces grammaires doivent ?tre ?crites dans un formalisme. Or, il y a
  une multiplicit? de formalismes utilis?s en TAL et aucun d?entre eux
  ne s?est impos? sur les autres. Les grammaires ?crites dans un
  formalisme ont du mal ? ?tre traduite dans un autre.

- Enfin, par souci d?efficacit? calculatoire, les grammaires sont
  souvent lexicalis?es : chaque construction grammaticale est li?e ?
  un mot de la langue. La lexicalisation entra?ne une redondance
  d?information, ce qui rend le maintien de la coh?rence de la
  grammaire plus difficile que dans le cas g?n?ral.

Dans les ?quipes Calligramme et Talaris du LORIA, a ?t? d?velopp? un
environnement logiciel, baptis? XMG [Duchier and al. 2004], pour aider
? la construction de telles grammaires.

En s'appuyant sur cette exp?rience, il s'agit de concevoir un langage
abstrait de description grammaticale suffisamment expressif pour
repr?senter diff?rentes th?ories linguistiques et diff?rents
formalismes grammaticaux, en prenant en compte ? la fois la syntaxe et
la s?mantique des langues.

Le langage ? d?finir ne doit pas seulement permettre la juxtaposition
de divers formalismes grammaticaux. Ce faisant, il passerait ? c?t?
d?un souci essentiel qui est de pouvoir r?utiliser les ressources
grammaticales d?un formalisme ? un autre. Le langage doit aider ?
s?abstraire au maximum des diff?rents formalismes cibles pour exprimer
les g?n?ralisations linguistiques d?une grammaire d?une fa?on aussi
naturelle que pourrait le faire un linguiste. A la limite, il faudrait
pouvoir d?crire une grammaire d?une fa?on compl?tement ind?pendante
des formalismes cibles pour ensuite la traduire dans ceux-ci. Compte
tenu de la profonde h?t?rog?n?it? des formalismes grammaticaux, cet
objectif semble difficile ? atteindre tel quel mais c?est le but vers
lequel il faut tendre.

Pour mener ? bien cet ambitieux programme, l??tudiant devra faire
converger deux points de vue : d?un c?t?, celui de linguistes qui
mod?lisent la langue et qui ont besoin d?un formalisme ?l?gant et
synth?tique pour ?crire les r?gles de la grammaire, de l?autre c?t?
celui d?informaticiens qui d?veloppent des analyseurs pour traiter
automatiquement des textes de fa?on efficace. Il pourra s?appuyer pour
cela sur une exp?rience d?j? riche de d?veloppement de grammaires pour
le TAL linguistiquement motiv?es. Cela l?am?nera ? interagir avec
plusieurs ?quipes de recherche fran?aises et ?trang?res engag?es dans
le domaine.

1ST WORKSHOP ON DEFINITION EXTRACTION
September 18, 2009
Borovets, Bulgaria

http://www.iling.unam.mx/wde


MOTIVATION:

Nowadays, the automatic extraction of definitions from textual data is
a common task in different domains of Natural Language
Processing. Briefly, we can sketch two main research directions:

- The use of Definition Extraction (DE) as a methodological resource
  in areas such as Computational Semantic, Information Extraction,
  Text Mining, Ontologies, WEB Semantics or E-Learning.

- The conception of DE as a self-challenging task, particularity in
  Computational Lexicography and Terminology, toward the design and
  implementation of electronic resources such as lexical knowledge
  bases, machine-readable dictionaries, terminological databases,
  thesauri.  Such resources can be monolingual or multilingual.


However, in contrast to the generalised use of DE in multiple domains,
there is no specific forum for sharing information about
methodologies, tools, evaluation techniques or applications related
directly with DE.

We propose this 1st Workshop on Definition Extraction as such an
exchange forum, with the hope that this workshop could become an
academic space to share and assess new methodologies, tools and
techniques, in the spirit of promoting the DE as a consolidated
research area.

TOPICS:

This workshop will provide an opportunity to discuss, both theoretical
and practical views in DE. The following are examples of topics that
are relevant, but not exclusive, for the workshop:

? Discussions, analysis, positions around the state of art on DE.

? Concrete uses of resources obtained from DE in scientific or
  technical areas.

? Original methodologies considering the use of symbolic and/or
  statistical methods for the recognition and extraction of possible
  candidates of textual definitions.

? Comparisons between DE from structured (such as Wikipedia) and
  unstructured textual data.

? Development of computational tools for extracting definitions from
  large corpora.

? Concrete applications of DE within larger projects in Language
  Learning, Automated Reasoning, Text Mining, etc.

? DE in multilingual environment.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

Lexicographers, terminographers, linguists, computational linguists,
NLP community and those people interested in DE field.

TENTATIVE PROGRAM (1 FULL DAY):

1 Invited speaker (to be determined)
8-10 papers
4-5 software demonstrations

Workshop: Biomedical Information Extraction
http://www.lml.bas.bg/ranlp2009/biomedicalIE 

In conjunction with the 7th International Conference
Recent Advances on Natural Language Processing RANLP-2009, 14-16
September 2009


Undoubtly, the availability of information for biomedicine in an
electronic format has been rapidly increasing. The Medical Literature
Analysis and Retrieval system (Medline) houses millions of biomedical
scientific literature publications. PubMed offers the power of a
search engine for accessing the Medline content. On the other hand,
the electronization of clinical data within the Electronic Medical
Record (EMR) provides another powerful source for information
extraction.
Access to integrated information is critical for health care
improvement, research, and the overall science of healthcare delivery
and personalized medicine. Information extraction from the scientific
literature is distinct from information extraction from the clinical
narrative as these two types of genre have their own stylistic
characteristics and pose different methodological challenges. In
addition, biomedical information spans multiple languages thus
necessitating methods for multi-lingual information extraction.

In addition to the biomedical scientific literature and clinical data,
the large number of health-related web resources is increasing day by
day. The content of these resources is very variable and difficult to
assess. Furthermore, the number of people searching for health-related
information is also increasing. The development of tools to support
the process of describing the content of medical web resources with
meta-data that facilitate their retrieval, and with quality labels by
certified authorities, is crucial for the delivery of content of
better quality to health information consumers. Multi-lingual
information extraction has a significant role to play there also.

The focus of this workshop is natural language processing and
information extraction for biomedicine, including scientific and
clinical free-text as well as health-related web resources within one
or many languages. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Natural language processing techniques for basic tasks, e.g.
  sentence boundary detection, tokenization, part of speech tagging,
  shallow parsing and deep parsing. Evaluation and comparison with the
  general domain;

* Efforts to create sharable biomedical lexical resources, including
  the annotation of biomedical data for linguistic and domain events;

* Biomedical named entity recognition;

* Methods for higher level biomedical language processing, e.g.
  relation discovery, temporal relation discovery, anaphoric relation
  discovery;

* Terminology/ontology biomedical named entity mapping;

* Integrated knowledge management of scientific and clinical free-text
  data

* Knowledge representation and management technologies (e.g. OWL, RDF,
  Annotation Schemas, etc.) that enable the creation of
  machine-processable descriptions of health-related web resources

* Content collection and information extraction techniques that allow
  the quality labeling of web resources and the continuous monitoring
  of already labeled ones

* Multi-lingual information extraction

Important dates:

*	Submission deadline: 6 June 2009
*	Notification of acceptance: 20 July 2009
*	Camera-ready copy due from authors: 24 August 2009
*	Workshop: 17 or 18 September 2009

Submission instructions:

Submissions should be A4, two-column format and should not exceed
seven pages including cover page, figures, tables and references. The
workshop papers should follow the RANLP format which is available at
the RANLP website http://www.lml.bas.bg/ranlp2009 in the Second Call
for Papers.  Papers should be submitted electronically in *PDF* format
using the conference submission system START. Detailed instructions
about the workshop submission will be announced at the workshop
website.

Review and multiple submission policy

The review process is anonymous. The paper text should not reveal the
authors identity. To maintain the submissions, all authors' names and
addresses should be registered in the START system when the paper is
submitted; this information will be open for the workshop organizers
only. Submissions will be reviewed by 3 members of the Programme
Committee. Authors of accepted papers will receive guidelines
regarding how to produce camera-ready versions of their papers for
inclusion in the proceedings. The full workshop proceedings will be
distributed at the event. The workshop papers will be included in the
ACL Anthology.

The workshop calls for articles describing original research. Authors
may submit the same paper at several events. In this case they must
notify the organizers in a separate mail to [savova dot guergana at
mayo dot edu], to inform them that the paper might be withdrawn
depending on the selections at some other event.

Organizing committee:

Guergana Savova, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester,
Minnesota, USA
Vangelis Karkaletsis, Institute of Informatics and Telecommunications,
Athens, Greece
Galia Angelova, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria

Programme committee (to be announced in the second Call for Papers)

Workshop venue:

The workshop will be held at the Samokov Hotel in the resort of
Borovets as a post-conference event of RANLP-09. The picturesque
resort of Borovets is located in the Rila mountains and is one of the
best known winter resorts in South-East Europe, a frequent venue for
world skiing events. The resort is 1350 m above sea level, at the foot
of the highest peak on the Balkan Peninsula - Moussala (2925 m). The
resort of Borovets is 73 km from Sofia and the International airport
of Sofia can serve as an arrival/departure point. In addition to
regular public transport, the organizers will provide daily shuttle
buses from Sofia airport to the Samokov hotel at an inexpensive
rate. A taxi from Sofia to Borovets is relatively cheap; it is also
possible to take a taxi from the International airport in Sofia to the
workshop venue.

Titre : Fouille de texte et exploitation du web pour la construction
de corpus comparables

Contexte

Le laboratoire VALORIA (http://www-valoria.univ-ubs.fr/) associ? ?
l??quipe LICORN (http://web.univ-ubs.fr/corpus/publi.html) du
laboratoire XXX propose une allocation de th?se en informatique pour
trois ans financ?e dans le cadre du projet ANR METRICC
(http://www.metricc.com/), ? la crois?e des technologie web et du
traitement automatique des langues naturelles.

Le travail de th?se propos? cible la collecte de documents sur
Internet dans le but de construire des corpus comparables. Cela
n?cessite le d?veloppement d?un crawling th?matique orient? qui permet
de d?cider si le syst?me doit suivre des hyperliens ou non. Il s?agira
donc de tester la d?rive des documents rapport?s par rapport ? des
crit?res de comparabilit?s pr?-d?finis. La th?matique recherch?e

d?ontologies align?es ou d?ensemble de documents align?s ? titre
d?exemples.

Il conviendra d'effectuer des analyses lexicographiques sur le corpus

des changements de contextes. Il est propos? de r?aliser une analyse

afin de d?tecter si des ?quivalents de traduction peuvent ?tre d?gag?s
et si oui, d'analyser leur stabilit? en fonction de l'environnement
lexical.  Nous pourrons ainsi comparer les structures d'une ontologie
naturelle construite ? partir d'un corpus comparable de r?f?rence et
celles construite ? partir d?un corpus comparable r?sultant d'un
crawling orient?.


Title: Text mining and web crawling dedicated to the construction of
comparable corpora

Context

The VALORIA research group. (http://www-valoria.univ-ubs.fr/)
associated to the LICORN team of the HCTI research group
(http://web.univ-ubs.fr/corpus/) has currently a vacancy for a 3-year
PhD research grant in computer science, funded by the ANR METRICC
project (http://www.metricc.com/). This project is situated at the
interface of web technologies and Natural Language Processing.


The research work centres on the collecting of documents on the web
with a view to reducing the cost of constructing comparable
corpora. This task requires the development of oriented thematic
crawling that is, for example, able to decide whether or not crawling
a hyperlink is profitable. It will be necessary to test and evaluate
the drift of the crawled documents with respect to pre-defined
comparability criteria.  The thematic could be defined either by means
of comparable lexical cartographies (as defined by J. Veronis) ,
aligned thesaurus or ontologies, or a set of aligned documents.

It will be necessary to propose lexicographic analyses on the crawled
set of documents in order to tackle potential semantic drift due to
context change. It is suggested to develop detailed collocational and
colligational analysis for some key concepts so as to detect whether
equivalent concepts can be extracted in translation and, if so, if
whether these translated concepts are stable with respect to the
lexical environment. This would allow comparisons to be drawn between
the structure of a natural ontology and one constructed from reference
comparable corpora produced through oriented thematic crawling.

PSC'09 is the 14th event of the Prague Stringology Club. It is an
international conference focusing on stringology and related areas. It
is organized annually by the Prague Stringology Club, a research group
in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the Czech
Technical University in Prague. The proceedings of recent conferences
are indexed in DBLP.



TOPICS:

Stringology is a part of algorithmic research that deals with the
processing of text strings. It has existed for at least thirty years
and developed into a respected subfield of its own. The last fifteen
years have produced an explosion of new results. This progress is due
in part to the human genome effort, an area to which string algorithms
make important contributions. The topics of the conference include but
are not limited to:

  * algorithms for pattern matching in strings, images and trees
  * data structures (automata, trees etc.) for pattern matching
    in strings, images and trees
  * coding and data compression
  * bioinformatics
  * information retrieval
  * string processing algorithms in databases
  * searching for regularities
  * natural language processing



INVITED TALK:

  * "Combining Text Compression and String Matching: The Miracle of
    Self-Indexing" G. Navarro, University of Chile.



SUBMISSION:

HISTORY:

PSC'09 was preceded by Prague Stringology Workshops in 1996-2000 and
by Prague Stringology Conferences in 2001-2006, 2008. Each year
proceedings are prepared for the conference. They are published by
Czech Technical University in Prague and are also available from the
PSC web pages. Selected papers from the later workshops were also
published in a special issue of the journal Kybernetika. Selected
papers from the 2002-2006, 2008 conferences were then published in the
Nordic Journal of Computing, Journal of Automata, Languages, and
Combinatorics, and International Journal of Foundations in Computer
Science.



LOCATION:

PSC'09 will be held in the Department of Computer Science &
Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague on August 31 -
September 2, 2009. The working language is English. As usual, accepted
papers will appear in conference proceedings published by the Czech
Technical University in Prague and distributed at the
conference. After further refereeing, selected papers will then be
published in an international journal.

The conference venue is located in the historical center of Prague on
which all cultural epochs left their mark and it is for centuries a
political, social, and cultural center of European significance.

Call for Papers

First NLP4DL Workshop
Viareggio, Italy
15 June 2009

Digital libraries represent a crucial contact point among traditional
libraries, recent advances in Information Technology, and Natural
Language Processing technologies. In a sense, digital libraries
represent a *perfect* crossroads: they are mainly built out of text,
they are consulted by humans via natural language, and one of the
major tools for accessing the information they hold, metadata, is a
mix of structured and unstructured information. The First Natural
Language Processing for Digital Libraries (NLP4DL) workshop, organised
under the auspices of the CACAO project (eContentplus Programme of the
European Commission, ECP 2006 DILI 510035 CACAO), aims to collect all
fundamental and innovative research which is done in connection with
Natural Language Technologies applied to the digital libraries
universe. The workshop will host invited speakers together with
talks/papers concerning:

-free text access to full-text digital libraries;
-access to digital resources via metadata;
-NLP techniques for harmonizing metadata in digital library (DL)
 federations;
-cross-language access to DLs;
-cross-language harmonization of metadata;
-discovery in DLs: hyperlinking, clustering, user-oriented
 categorization;
-management of digital collections via NLP-based algorithms;
-adaptation of linguistic resources to thematic DLs;
-fundamental issues: named entity extraction, word sense
 disambiguation, translation disambiguation.

All abstracts papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted contributions
will be distributed on a CD at the workshop.  A volume from the
conference will be published in Fall 2009. Depending on the number of
high quality submissions, a poster/demo session may also be held.

Practical Information
================
The conference will be held in Viareggio, Italy on 15 June 2009. More

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
(deadline: May, 10, 2009) 


Computational Linguistics - Applications Workshop (CLA'09) 
http://cla.imcsit.org/
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

event of 
International Multiconference on Computer Science and Information
Technology (IMCSIT 2009) 

12-14 October 2009, Mragowo, Poland


The CLA Workshop is located within the framework of the IMCSIT
conference to create a dialog between researchers and practitioners
involved in Computational Linguistics and related areas of Information
Technology.

IMSCIT is a multi-disciplinary conference gathering scientists form
the different fields of IT & Computer Science together with
representatives of industry and end-users.
IMSCIT with its motto: "new ideas are born not inside peoples' heads
but in the space between them", quickly became a unique place to share
thoughts and ideas. This year's gathering is held in October 2009 in a
beautiful town of Mragowo in the midst of Mazury Lake Country.


Workshop Goals
==============

The Computational Linguistics - Applications Workshop was created in
2008 in response to the fast-paced progress in the area.

Traditionally, computational linguistics was limited to the scientists
specialized in the processing of a natural language by computers.
Scientific approaches and practical techniques come from linguistics,
computer science, psychology, and mathematics. Nowadays, there is a
number of practical applications available. These applications are
sometimes developed by smart yet NLP-untrained developers who solve
the problems using sophisticated heuristics.

Computational Linguistics needs to be applied to make the full use of
the Internet. There is a definite need for software that can handle
unstructured text to allow search for information on the
web. According to the European Commission, Human Language Technologies
are one of the key research areas for the upcoming years. The priority
aim of the research in this area is to enable users to communicate
with the computer in their native language.

CLA'09 Workshop is a place where the parties meet to exchange views
and ideas with a benefit to all involved. The Workshop will focus on
practical outcome of modeling human language use and the applications
needed to improve human-machine interaction.


Paper Topics
============

This call is for papers that present research and developments on all
aspects of Natural Language Processing used in real-life applications,
such as (this list is not exhaustive):

 * information retrieval
 * extraction of linguistic knowledge from text corpora
 * semantic ontologies in computer linguistics
 * lexical resources
 * machine translation and translation aids
 * ambiguity resolution
 * text classification
 * corpus-based language modeling
 * POS-tagging
 * parsing issues
 * proofing tools
 * dialogue systems
 * machine learning methods applied to language processing
 * ontology and taxonomy evaluation
 * opinion mining
 * question answering
 * sentiment analysis
 * speech and audio processing
 * text summarization
 * use of NLP techniques in practical applications



Paper Presentation
==================

The presentation of the paper has to include a demonstration of
an existing tool. The papers should include a section describing the tool
(or a prototype), which demonstrates the theory discussed in the paper.

The presentation is divided into two parts. First, the author(s) shortly
demonstrate their tools to the audience. In the second part, the authors
discuss their work with other participants and let the audience test their
software.

Papers will be evaluated and accepted on the basis of their technical
merit, usefulness of the real life application and relevance to the
workshop scope by the CLA'09 Program Committee
(http://www.imcsit.org/md/cmt/?=219&pars=2). The paper will be assessed
by academics as well as industry representatives in order to assure fair
and balanced assessment.

All accepted and presented papers will be published in the Conference
Proceedings and included in the IEEE Xplore(R) database. The best
demonstrations will be selected to be shown to the general audience
of the conference at a plenary session.



Papers Submission Requirements
==============================

 * Authors should submit full papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord file).
 * The submissions are accepted via conference submission system
(http://www.papers.imcsit.org/) until May, 10, 2009.
 * The total length of a paper should not exceed 8 pages (IEEE style).

IEEE style templates are available at: http://submit.imcsit.org.

OBJECTIVE

 Following the success of the first Workshop on Building and Using
 Comparable Corpora
 http://www.limsi.fr/~pz/lrec2008-comparable-corpora/ at LREC 2008,
 this workshop aims to bring together language engineers as well as
 linguists interested in the constitution and use of comparable
 corpora, ranging from parallel to non-parallel corpora. In the larger
 context of the joint ACL-IJCNLP, this workshop aims to solicit
 contributions from researchers in different geographical regions, in
 order to highlight in particular the issues with comparable corpora
 across languages that are very different from each other, such as
 across Asian and European languages. Research in minority languages
 is also of particular interest.


MOTIVATION

 Research in comparable corpora has been motivated by two main reasons
 in the language engineering and the linguistics communities. In
 language engineering, it is chiefly motivated by the need to use
 comparable corpora as training data for statistical NLP applications
 such as statistical machine translation or cross-lingual retrieval.
 In linguistics, on the other hand, comparable corpora are of interest
 themselves in providing intra-linguistic discoveries and
 comparisons. It is generally accepted in both communities that
 comparable corpora are documents in one to many languages, that are
 comparable in content and form in various degrees and dimensions. It
 was pointed out that parallel corpora are at one end of the spectrum
 of comparability whereas quasi-comparable corpora are at the other
 end. We believe that the linguistic definitions and observations in
 comparable corpora can improve methods to mine such corpora for
 applications to statistical NLP. As such, it is of great interest to
 bring together builders and users of such corpora.

 Parallel corpora are a key resource as training data for statistical
 machine translation, and for building or extending bilingual lexicons
 and terminologies. However, beyond a few language pairs such as
 English-French or English-Chinese and a few contexts such as
 parliamentary debates or legal texts, they remain a scarce resource,
 despite the creation of automated methods to collect parallel corpora
 from the Web. Interests in non-parallel forms of comparable corpora
 in language engineering primarily ensued from the scarcity of
 parallel corpora. This has motivated research into the use of
 comparable corpora: pairs of monolingual corpora selected according
 to the same set of criteria, but in different languages or language
 varieties. Non-parallel yet comparable corpora overcome the two
 limitations of parallel corpora, since sources for original,
 monolingual texts are much more abundant than translated
 texts. However, because of their nature, mining translations in
 comparable corpora is much more challenging than in parallel
 corpora. What constitutes a good comparable corpus, for a given task
 or per se, also requires specific attention: while the definition of
 a parallel corpus is fairly straightforward, building a non-parallel
 corpus requires control over the selection of source texts in both
 languages.

 With the advent of online data, the potential for building and
 exploring comparable corpora is growing exponentially. Comparable
 documents in languages that are very different from each other pose
 special challenges as very often, the non-parallel-ness in sentences
 can result from cultural and political differences.

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

A joint event of SMART project - PASCAL Network

SMART (Statistical Multilingual Analysis for Retrieval and
Translation, www.smart-project.eu) is a 3-year "Specific Target
Research Project" (STReP) funded by the European Commission. SMART is
an attempt to address different problems of Machine Translation and
Cross-Language Information Retrieval by the methods of modern
Statistical Learning.

In the first two years of the project, the scientific focus has been
on developing new and more effective statistical approaches while
ensuring that existing know-how is duly taken into account. This was
done by bringing together leading research institutions in Statistical
Learning, Machine Translation and Textual Information Access.

PASCAL 2 (Pattern Analysis, Statistical Modelling and Computational
Learning 2) is a 5-year "Network of Excellence" (NoE) funded by the
European Commission, focusing on Machine Learning, Statistics and

          The Third Linguistic Annotation Workshop (LAW III)

       Sponsored by the Association for Computational Linguistics
          Special Interest Group for Annotation (ACL-SIGANN)

               Held in conjunction with ACL-IJCNLP 2009
                          Suntec, Singapore
                           6-7 August 2009

          http://www.ling.uni-potsdam.de/acl-lab/LAW-09.html

Linguistically annotated corpora play a major role in parsing,
information extraction, question answering, machine translation and
many other areas of computational linguistics, and provide an
empirical testbed for theoretical linguistics research. This has led
to a proliferation of annotation systems, frameworks, formats, and
schemes. Recognition of the need to harmonize annotation practices and
frameworks has become increasingly critical, as witnessed by numerous
workshops dealing with different aspects of linguistic annotation over
the past few years. The Linguistic Annotation Workshop (The LAW)
provides a forum for discussing these different aspects. Specifically,
the goals of this workshop include:

(1) The exchange and propagation of research results with respect to
the annotation, manipulation and exploitation of corpora, taking into
account different applications and theoretical investigations in the
field of language technology and research;

(2) Working towards the harmonization and interoperability from the
perspective of the increasingly large number of tools and frameworks
that support the creation, instantiation, manipulation, querying, and
exploitation of annotated resources;

(3) Working towards a consensus on all issues crucial to the
advancement of the field of corpus annotation.

The workshop will include presentations of long (8 page) and short (4
page) papers, a poster session, and demonstrations of annotation
tools, databases, and the like. Long papers should reflect work in an
advanced state, but short papers and posters may describe more
preliminary work and pilot studies. Posters and proposals for a system
demonstration are to be submitted in the form of a short (4 page)
paper. A demonstration proposal should provide an overview of the
system to be demonstrated, including functionality, supported
input/output formats or structures, supported languages and
modalities, etc. Accepted proposals will also appear in the
proceedings and are intended to provide background for the
demonstration.

The topics of all contributions may cover any aspect of linguistic
annotation including:

- New annotation schemes for linguistic phenomena at any level, or
  proposals for significant improvements to existing schemes
- Evaluation of emerging or existing standards for linguistic
  annotation
- Machine learning and knowledge-based methods for automation of
  corpus annotation
- Linguistic considerations for merging of annotation of distinct
  phenomena
- Evaluation considerations for corpus annotation
- Comparison and/or evaluation of existing annotation systems,
  including functionality, common/missing features, accommodation of
  different input/output formats and resource types (lexicons,
  knowledge bases, ontologies, etc.)
- Creation, maintenance, and interactive exploration of annotation
  structures and annotated data
- Representation formats/structures for merged annotations of
  different phenomena, and means to explore/manipulate them
- Assessment of, and potential means to achieve, interoperability of
  annotation formats/frameworks among different systems as well as
  different tasks, frameworks, modalities, and languages


Submissions
---------------
Long paper submissions should not exceed 8 pages in length. Short
papers, posters and demo descriptions should not exceed 4
pages. Format requirements are the same as for full papers of ACL
2009.  See
http://www.acl-ijcnlp-2009.org/main/authors/stylefiles/index.html for
style files.  Submission will be electronic, using the Workshop's
submission webpage at START:
https://www.softconf.com/acl-ijcnlp09/LAW/

Please indicate on the front page:
- long paper, short paper, poster, or demonstration proposal;
- all applicable paper categories from the following list (indicate
  multiple categories if appropriate): annotation frameworks and/or
  physical formats, annotation scheme design (on linguistic grounds),
  annotation tools and systems, corpus annotation, syntax, semantics,
  predicate-argument structure, morphology, anaphora, discourse,
  opinion/sentiment;
- language(s) your work applies to, as well and those you plan to
  handle in the future. If your work is language independent, indicate
  this as well;
- any non-standard equipment needed for your paper or demonstration.

All papers must be written and presented in English.


Reviewing
-------------
The reviewing of the papers will be blind. The paper should not
include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore,
self-citations and other references (e.g. to projects, corpora, or
software) that could reveal the author's identity should be
avoided. For example, instead of "We previously showed (Smith, 1991)
....", write "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...".
