       THREE MARIE CURIE POSITIONS for Early Stage Researchers
          in Computational Linguistics & Language Technology

                  Application deadline: May 15, 2010
              Envisaged starting date: September 1, 2010

The Department of Computational and General Linguistics at Tübingen
University is inviting applications for three Marie Curie Early Stage
Researchers for a period of 24 months.

The positions involve participation in the EU Marie Curie Initial
Training Network CLARA (Common Language Resources and their
Applications), receiving funding from European Commission's 7th
Framework Programme (http://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/,
http://clara.uib.no). Applicants cannot be German citizens, except if
the applicants have legally resided and had their main activity in a
non–associated third country for at least three of the last four years
immediately prior to this employment. Further, applicants must not
have resided or performed their main activity in Germany more than 12
months in the 3 year period immediately prior to the start date of the
scholarship. For a full list of mobility criteria, see
ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/fp7/docs/fp7-mga-annex3intramulti_en.pdf

The specific positions involve participation in the CLARA subprojects
Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Learning,Treebanks and Finite
State Techniques.

INTELLIGENT COMPUTER-ASSISTED LANGUAGE LEARNING (ICALL): This two year
position involves participation in the project "Connecting ICALL
Research and Development to Foreign Language Teaching Needs". The
project researches how effective use of NLP for Intelligent Language
Tutoring Systems (ILTS) can be informed by Second Language Acquisition
research and Foreign Language Teaching practice. On the theoretical
side, this includes a broad spectrum of research directions which can
be explored, while on the practical side we envisage integration of
the results into a UIMA-based ILTS architecture (cf., e.g.,
http://purl.org/dm/papers/amaral-meurers-ziai-10.html).

TREEBANKS: This two year position involves participation in the
project "Linguistic Analysis for Treebank Annotation". The overall aim
of this subproject is to specify a common core of syntactic and
semantic features for a range of languages (Czech, English, German,
Slovak, and others). Different annotation schemes will be tested and
validated by performing annotation of texts for these languages,
providing as the final product annotated corpora (treebanks) for both
linguistic research and statistical language learning, as well as
creating NLP tools (i.e. tools for automatic syntactic and semantic
analysis).

FINITE-STATE TECHNIQUES: This two year position involves participation
in the project "Finite-state Parsing Methods".  Methods using
finite-state transducers (FSTs) have proven to be a general framework
for describing morphological and phrase level processing of natural
languages and provide a technically uniform development and
implementation platform.  The aim of this project is to deepen
understanding of these methods and develop new applications for NLP
tasks such as shallow parsing and information extraction.  One of the
directions to be investigated is to combine rule-base models and
probabilistic methods through the use of weighted FSTs.

The CLARA network offers an intensive research exchange programme
between 16 participating institutions. While staying with the host
institution for most of the time, the programme allows for a shorter
stay at a second academic or industrial partner institution
(secondment). The successful candidate will be expected to partake
actively in training activities organised by CLARA. This includes
summer schools, seminars and courses organised locally and at other
network institutions.

The salary of an Early Stage Researcher is set in accordance with the
regulations of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network within the
European Commission's 7th Framework Programme (see
ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/fp7/docs/fp7-mga-annex3intramulti_en.pdf),
the German labor laws and Tübingen University regulations. The maximum
salary under these regulations is EUR 29,000 per year (subject to
state taxation, social and health insurance and social fund
deductions) plus a monthly mobility allowance of 508 Euro (for single
persons) or 812 Euro (for families) as well as a taxable travel
allowance of 1,400 Euro per year and a one-time career exploratory
allowance of 2000 Euro. Additional, non-salaried, non-taxable
contributions toward moving and travel to CLARA events and conferences
are available from CLARA funds.

For further information about the positions, please contact
Prof. Dr. Erhard Hinrichs (eh at sfs.uni-tuebingen.de) or
Prof. Dr. Detmar Meurers (dm at sfs.uni-tuebingen.de). 

For administrative or practical information, such as the level of
living expenses in Tübingen, please contact Mrs. Cornelia Stoll
(cornelia.stoll at uni-tuebingen.de). Information about the Department of
Computational and General Linguistics can be found on the web at

Quoi:
L’analyse syntaxique des textes tout-venant se heurte régulièrement à
quelques cas complexes pour lesquels il est indispensable d’avoir une
analyse fine et complète des phrases en syntaxe et en
sémantique. C’est le cas des constructions causatives et factitives,
des constructions à verbes supports, des coordonnées, corrélatives et
comparatives, des phénomènes d’ellipse, et de bien d’autres encore.

Ces constructions sont régulièrement négligés des systèmes robustes et
fournissent des résultats rarement corrects dans les traitements
automatiques de documents.

Nous pouvons constater que les techniques du Data Mining se passent le
plus souvent de l'analyse fine du contenu textuel des documents pour
n’exploiter que les informations de méta-données. Nous observons que
les techniques d’analyse robuste en TAL se passent également des
analyses fines pour ne retenir qu’une analyse en surface (Chunking,
Shallow-parsing). Mais ces technologies ont été choisies à défaut de
savoir-faire en matière d’analyse robuste et fine des textes, tant du
point de vue des techniques d’analyse que des formalisations
linguistiques nécessaires.

Bien que certains de ces outils commencent à être développés, pour
l'anglais notamment (dans le récent ouvrage de Johan Bos et ses
collègues), il n'y a pour le moment pas d'équivalent pour la langue
française. C'est le but de ce projet de recherche de remédier à cela
en développant une analyse syntaxique capable de traiter correctement
les constructions fréquentes, mais complexes en syntaxe et en
sémantique.

Nous voudrions que l’étude soit menée dans un cadre de linguistique
formelle issue d’un modèle récent comme les « grammaires d’unification
» (par exemple comme LFG ou HPSG, ou les grammaires catégorielles
d’unification), les grammaires de propriétés, etc. L’analyse
syntaxique et sémantique des textes se fera en prenant le contre-pied
de l’étude habituelle stochastique et de surface, sans toutefois
renoncer à une étude d’extraction de corpus ou basée en partie sur des
données statistiques par exemple.

Quelques cas de phénomènes linguistiques seront choisis pour leur
intérêt théorique et seront appliqués à l’analyse syntaxique et
sémantique de textes français issus de gros corpus de textes écrits.

La description linguistique de ces phénomènes se fera par une étude
critique de l’état de l’art et sera appliquée de façon expérimentale
grâce à l’un des outils d’analyse syntaxique fine proposés par la
communauté (SXLFG, XLFG5, XLE, LKB, GRAIL, etc).




#########################
Title: Syntactic and Semantic analysis from French texts.
Position type: Post-doctoral Fellow
Functional area: Bordeaux (Talence)
Research theme: Perception, cognition, interaction
Project: SIGNES

When parsing real-world text, we frequently encounter phenomena
requiring a detailed and complete analyses; both from a syntactic and
a semantic point of view. Examples of these constructions are
coordination, ellipsis, comparatives, light verb constructions,
causatives, and many others.

In the context of robust parsing, these phenomena are frequently
ignored and therefore rarely analyzed correctly. In Data Mining,
linguistic analysis - if it is performed at all - is mostly limited to
low-level analysis like chunking or partial parsing, but this choice
is mostly due to a lack of the expertise and the tools required to
perform a deeper text analysis.

Though some of these tools are currently starting to be developed for
English, notably in the recent work of Johan Bos and his colleagues,
there is at the moment no equivalent for the French language. It is
the goal of this research project to remedy this by providing a
wide-coverage parsing capable of correctly handling frequent but
complex syntactic construction correctly both from a syntactic and a
semantic point of view.

  Missions In contrast to the more widely used "shallow" methods used
  in statistical natural language processing, the post-doc candidate
  will use a modern theory in computational linguistics (such as LFG,
  HPSH, categorial grammar or property grammars) and a modern theory
  in computational semantics (such as DRT, generative lexicon, lambda
  calculus) to give a deep analysis of modern French text and to
  produce a semantically and syntactically sound analysis of some of
  the linguistic phenomena cited above.

The researcher will study the current state-of-the-art to compare,
evaluate and improve existing solutions and will implement his
analysis experimentally using (and where necessary, extending) one of
the systems for detailed syntactic analysis proposed by the community
(SXLFG, XLFG5, XLE, LKB, Grail, etc)

Finally, the candidate will make a critical evaluation of his proposed
to solutions, both from a syntactic and a semantic point of view,
based on a study of the performance on cases found in corpora of
written French.

The successful candidate must be familiar with parsing techniques,
with constraint-based grammar formalisms such as LFG, HPSG, categorial
grammars. A keen interest in natural language syntax and/or natural
language semantics is required.
Applicants will have received a PhD in linguistics, or natural
language processing.
Knowledge of French is highly desirable.

Workshop on Computational Approaches to Synonymy
at the Symposium on Re-Thinking Synonymy, Helsinki, 28-30 October 2010
http://www.linguistics.fi/synonymy/


Many problems and applications in computational linguistics and
natural language processing implicitly invoke, in various forms, the
concept of synonymy or identity of meaning.  In one way or another,
they involve either determining identity (or non-identity) of meaning
in different surface forms or creating different surface forms for a
single meaning.

For example, paraphrase recognition is an important component of the
more-general problem of recognizing textual entailment.  Textual
tailoring and personalization seeks to find the most effective
linguistic realization of a message for a particular user;
automatically simplifying texts and creating stylistic variations are
special cases of this.  Lexical choice in text generation tries to
find the best word for a given meaning and to discriminate it from
other words that are close in meaning but not synonymous in the
context.  Cross-lingual document retrieval and other cross-lingual
applications such as, in particular, machine translation conflate the
ideas of synonymy and translation equivalence.

But while there has been a large amount of research on computational
methods for determining degree of similarity in lexical meaning and
for recognizing paraphrase, little attention has been given to
theoretical considerations of synonymy.  Mostly, it is treated as a
boolean property (two words are or aren't in the same synset; two
sentences are or aren't mutual entailments) with little thought of any
theoretical underpinning.

On the other hand, the real-world linguistic problems that natural
language processing addresses provide useful test cases for linguistic
theories of synonymy, and the computational methods developed are de
facto theories of synonymy even if not intended as such.

This workshop will explore computational approaches to synonymy, with
an emphasis on explicating their implicit theoretical notions and
their implications for linguistic theory.  Papers are solicited on the
following topics:


**  Computational theories of lexical, phrasal, and sentential
    synonymy.
**  Principled methods of paraphrase recognition and generation.
**  Principled methods of text tailoring and stylistic variation.
**  Cross-lingual synonymy and machine translation.
**  Beyond the synset: Principles of synonymy in computational lexical
    resource

The following are not appropriate except insofar as they explicitly
address the topics above:

**  Yet another paraphrase-recognition or textual entailment system.
**  Yet another lexical similarity metric.
**  Yet another personalization or text-simplification system.

Submissions: Abstracts of up to 500 words should be submitted (as pdf
attachments) to synonymy at cs.toronto.edu by 30 June 2010.  Decisions on
acceptance will be notified by 15 July 2010.

Organizers: Graeme Hirst (University of Toronto); Kentaro Inui (Tohoku
University); Manfred Stede (University of Potsdam).

                  Prague Stringology Conference 2010

              15th event of the Prague Stringology Club

                      http://www.stringology.org

                           Call for Papers

        Prague, Czech Republic, August 30 - September 1, 2010

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

PSC'10 is the 15th 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 Theoretical Computer Science at the Faculty of
Information Technology of 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 twenty
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. String processing extends into tree
processing that is called Arbology. 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:

  * To be announced



SUBMISSION:

Authors are cordially invited to submit their full papers (PDF format,
10-15 pages, A4 page format) by May 11, 2010. 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=psc2010).

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'10 was preceded by Prague Stringology Workshops in 1996-2000 and
by Prague Stringology Conferences in 2001-2006, 2008-2009. 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 & PUBLICATION:

PSC'10 will be held at the Department of Theoretical Computer Science
the Czech Technical University in Prague on August 30 - September 1,
2010. (The precise location will be announced later.) 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.

                         LAST CALL FOR PAPERS
                  **Submission Deadline: April 12**

   Workshop on Theories of Information Dynamics and Interaction and
                    their Application to Dialogue
                          TIDIAD at ESSLLI2010
               http://www.irit.fr/~Laure.Vieu/Esslli10

Workshop organized as part of the European Summer School on Logic,
Language and Information ESSLLI 2010 (http://esslli2010cph.info/)

           August 16-20 (ESSLLI 2nd week) 2010, Copenhagen



Workshop Purpose and Topics:
----------------------------

Theoretical approaches to communication and dialogue modeling are
varied and often unrelated because separately focusing on different
aspects of dialogue (speech acts, goals, beliefs, plans, questions,
conventions, roles, cooperation, disputes, argumentation, reference,
semantics-pragmatics interface...).
On the other hand, the area of foundations of multi-agent systems is
inducing new developments in logics of interaction and information
dynamics, with a recent trend towards comparison and integration.
Analyzing the impact of this trend on communication and dialogue
modeling is timely.

This workshop aims at discussing formal theories and logics of
information dynamics and interaction and their applications to
dialogue and communication modeling. It is intended to bring together
logicians, linguists and computer scientists in order to provide a
better understanding of the potentialities and limitations of formal
methods for the analysis of dialogue and communication. Its scope
includes not only the technical aspects of logics, but also
multidisciplinary aspects from linguistics, philosophy of language,
philosophy of social reality, social sciences (social psychology,
economics).

The following are some examples of formal theories and logics that are
relevant to the workshop (no order):

speech act theory,
argumentation theory,
game theory,
public announcement logic,
dynamic epistemic logic (DEL),
logics of agency and power (e.g. STIT, ATL, Coalition Logic),
theories of persuasion,
theories of commitment,
dynamic semantics,
semantic approaches to interrogative clauses,
rhetorical approaches to dialogue (e.g., Segmented Discourse
Representation Theory).


The focus of the workshop will be on recent developments, especially
those that combine several approaches (e.g. dynamic epistemic logic
and speech act theory, dynamic epistemic logic and segmented discourse
representation theory, public announcement logic and commitment
theories, STIT and dynamic epistemic logic, Coalition Logic and public
announcement logic...) to deal with complex dialogue and communication
phenomena.

DEFT 2010 - Appel à participation
 
~~ Où et quand un article de presse a-t-il été écrit ? ~~
 
Atelier d'évaluation en fouille de textes sur l'identification de la
période et du lieu de publication d'articles de presse francophone
 
Date de l¹atelier : 23 juillet 2010 (conjointement à TALN 2010)
Lieu : Montréal (Canada)
 
Site Internet : http://www.groupes.polymtl.ca/taln2010/deft.php
Contact : deft10 at limsi.fr
 
Cette campagne d'évaluation bénéficie du soutien de CEDROM-SNi,
du CNRTL et de ELDA.
 
********************************************************
 
DEFT2010, sixième édition de la campagne d'évaluation en fouille de
textes, portera sur les variations diachroniques et géographiques en
corpus de presse francophones. L'atelier de clôture se tiendra à
Montréal dans le cadre de la conférence TALN 2010.
 
Un locuteur francophone natif est capable de détecter dans une
conversation des expressions spécifiques à un pays (par exemple au
niveau des nombres "septante" et "nonante" en Belgique et en Suisse
contre "soixante-dix et "quatre-vingt-dix" en France et au Québec, et
"huitante" en Suisse vs.  "quatre-vingts" dans les trois autres pays).
 
Un lecteur est également capable de mobiliser des connaissances
linguistiques, culturelles et historiques pour identifier la période
(sur une échelle plus ou moins grande) de parution d'un article (en
identifiant un événement particulier et/ou des tournures linguistiques
ou des entités nommées jugées représentatives d'une période donnée).
 
Comme tout acte de communication, les documents ont une origine et un
public visé ; leur nature, c'est-à-dire leurs contenu, niveaux de
langue, etc. en dépend fortement. Dans cette édition du défi fouille
de textes, nous nous intéressons à l'origine des documents, plus
particulièrement à l'époque et au lieu de leur création.
 
Dans ce cadre, nous proposons plusieurs pistes distinctes et
indépendantes.
 
* Piste 1.
Cette piste, relative à la variation diachronique, concerne
l'identification de la décennie de publication d'extraits d'articles
français d'une taille de 300 mots. Les extraits de ce corpus couvrent
une période comprise entre 1800 et 1944.
 
Le corpus d'apprentissage se composera d'extraits (300 mots)
d'articles de quatre titres de journaux différents, le corpus de test
intègrera des extraits provenant de ces quatre mêmes titres plus un
cinquième titre absent du corpus d'apprentissage, de manière à
éprouver la robustesse des systèmes.
 
* Piste 2.
L'identification de l'origine géographique de chaque document (pays
d'origine) constituera la seconde piste de cette campagne. Elle
reposera sur des corpus de presse rassemblant plusieurs titres
provenant de France et du Québec.
 
Pour ces deux pistes, les participants auront la possibilité
d'utiliser des ressources externes (linguistiques, historiques, etc.)
qu'ils devront obligatoirement déclarer lors de la soumission des
résultats. En ce qui concerne plus spécifiquement la piste 1, les
ressources provenant de Gallica ne seront pas autorisées.
 
Nous invitons les participants à participer aux deux pistes. Il est
cependant possible de ne participer qu'à une seule des pistes.
 
Des corpus d'apprentissage seront fournis aux participants inscrits, à
partir du 26 février 2010. Ces corpus sont composés de 60% des corpus
d'origine. Les 40% de corpus restants seront utilisés pour le test. Le
test aura lieu sur une fenêtre d'un mois, à partir de la mi-mars.  À
partir de la date qu'ils auront choisie dans cet intervalle, les
participants auront trois jours pour appliquer, sur les corpus de
test, les méthodes mises au point sur les corpus d'apprentissage et
nous retourner leurs résultats d'analyse.

Vendredi 9 avril,

Juliette Thuilier (Paris 7), Gwendoline Fox (Paris 3), Benoit Crabbé

nous parleront de : 

Alternance de position de l'adjectif épithète en français

Résumé : 

On présentera dans un premier temps une analyse quantitative sur des
données de syntaxe qui a pour but de prédire le phénomène d’alternance
de position de l’adjectif épithète par rapport au nom en français. On
montre comment nous avons utilisé les corpus dont nous disposons
(French Treebank et le corpus de l’Est-Républicain) ainsi que les
ressources issues du traitement automatique des langues pour favoriser
l'identification de facteurs généraux permettant de prédire le
phénomène correctement. Nous insistons sur l’importance de contraintes
relevant de l’usage pour le choix de la position de l’adjectif,
notamment à travers la fréquence d’occurrence de l’adjectif, et la
fréquence de contextes dans lesquels il apparaît. Une seconde partie
de l'exposé, plus exploratoire focalisera sur l'alternance de position
d'adjectifs spécifiques.  On aborde le problème par l'intermédiaire
d'une étude plus qualitative inspirée de la méthode
collostructionnelle et on verra que les adjectifs montrent une
certaine fixité positionnelle à l'usage. On verra en particulier que
certaines contraintes qui ont peu d'impact en toute généralité
s'appliquent à des items ou à des constructions lexicales plus
spécifiques.

Final Call for Papers

15th International Conference on Implementation and Application of
Automata

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, August 12-15, 2010

http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/ciaa2010

**********************************************
*** Extended submission deadline: April 23 ***
**********************************************

CIAA is the premier annual conference for researchers, application
developers and users of automata-based systems.  The applications of
the theory of automata, a foundational area of computer science, have
spread to almost all areas of computer science and many other
disciplines.

The CIAA series has published significant papers describing the
applications of finite automata in parsing and compilers, logic,
natural language processing, pattern matching, database management and
bioinformatics. The conference also accepts papers that advance the
state of the art in the theoretical study of finite automata, regular
expressions, grammars and related formal models.

A goal of the conference is to provide additions and enhancements to
existing software systems that manipulate automata, regular
expressions, grammars, and related structures; examples of such
systems include AGL, AMoRE, ASTL, Automate, FADELA, FAdo, FinITE, FIRE
Station, FSM, Grail+, INR, Intex, JFLAP, MERLin, MONA, TESTAS,
Turing's World, Vaucanson, WFSC and Whale Calf.

DCFS 2010 (August 8-10, Saskatoon), CIAA 2010 (August 12-15, Winnipeg)
and DLT 2010 (August 17-20, London, Ontario) are organized in Canada
one after another to allow attendance at all three conferences.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission Deadline: April 23, 2010 (extended)

                         LAST CALL FOR PAPERS
                **NEW Submission Deadline: April 19**

   Workshop on Theories of Information Dynamics and Interaction and
                    their Application to Dialogue
                          TIDIAD at ESSLLI2010
               http://www.irit.fr/~Laure.Vieu/Esslli10

Workshop organized as part of the European Summer School on Logic,
Language and Information ESSLLI 2010 (http://esslli2010cph.info/)

           August 16-20 (ESSLLI 2nd week) 2010, Copenhagen


*** DUE TO SOME REQUESTS, SUBMISSION DEADLINE POSTPONED OF ONE WEEK ***



Workshop Purpose and Topics:
----------------------------

Theoretical approaches to communication and dialogue modeling are
varied and often unrelated because separately focusing on different
aspects of dialogue (speech acts, goals, beliefs, plans, questions,
conventions, roles, cooperation, disputes, argumentation, reference,
semantics-pragmatics interface...).
On the other hand, the area of foundations of multi-agent systems is
inducing new developments in logics of interaction and information
dynamics, with a recent trend towards comparison and integration.
Analyzing the impact of this trend on communication and dialogue
modeling is timely.

This workshop aims at discussing formal theories and logics of
information dynamics and interaction and their applications to
dialogue and communication modeling. It is intended to bring together
logicians, linguists and computer scientists in order to provide a
better understanding of the potentialities and limitations of formal
methods for the analysis of dialogue and communication. Its scope
includes not only the technical aspects of logics, but also
multidisciplinary aspects from linguistics, philosophy of language,
philosophy of social reality, social sciences (social psychology,
economics).

The following are some examples of formal theories and logics that are
relevant to the workshop (no order):

speech act theory,
argumentation theory,
game theory,
public announcement logic,
dynamic epistemic logic (DEL),
logics of agency and power (e.g. STIT, ATL, Coalition Logic),
theories of persuasion,
theories of commitment,
dynamic semantics,
semantic approaches to interrogative clauses,
rhetorical approaches to dialogue (e.g., Segmented Discourse
Representation Theory).


The focus of the workshop will be on recent developments, especially
those that combine several approaches (e.g. dynamic epistemic logic
and speech act theory, dynamic epistemic logic and segmented discourse
representation theory, public announcement logic and commitment
theories, STIT and dynamic epistemic logic, Coalition Logic and public
announcement logic...) to deal with complex dialogue and communication
phenomena.

          Dernier appel à Posters et Démonstrations IC'2010

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                               IC'2010
     21èmes Journées francophones d’Ingénierie des Connaissances

                         Nîmes 8-11 Juin 2010
                   http://www.ic2010.mines-ales.fr/
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Les 21èmes Journées francophones d'Ingénierie des Connaissances se
tiendront à Nîmes du 8 au 11 Juin dans les locaux de l'Ecole des Mines
d'Alès.  Organisée chaque année depuis 1997 sous l'égide du Gracq
(Groupe de Recherche en Acquisition des Connaissances), la conférence
IC constitue un lieu d’échanges et de réflexions de la communauté
francophone sur les problématiques de l’ingénierie des connaissances.

L’essor des Sciences et Technologies de l’Information et de la
Communication, notamment des technologies du Web, dans l’ensemble de
la société engendre des mutations dans les pratiques individuelles et
collectives.

L’ingénierie des connaissances contribue à cette évolution, en offrant
des méthodes pour l’élaboration de modèles de connaissances à des fins
d’opérationnalisation.  Ces modèles relèvent de différentes
catégories. Ils décrivent par exemple les connaissances métiers, les
processus cognitifs associés au raisonnement et les processus
collaboratifs.  Des méthodes et des systèmes sont également conçus
pour la gestion des connaissances au sens large (acquisition,
structuration, représentation, exploitation, exploration,
visualisation et diffusion).

Les auteurs sont invités à soumettre des propositions de posters et de
démonstrations en rapport avec les thèmes de la conférence IC.



Posters
Sont concernés des travaux en cours ou au stade de résultats partiels
de recherches ou appliqués.
Ce type de soumission correspond à des travaux innovants de qualité,
mais dont la maturité ne permet pas des élaborations complètes et des
conclusions définitives.  Les auteurs sont invités à soumettre des
propositions d'articles de 6 pages maximum en indiquant sur la
première page qu'il s'agit d'une soumission de type "Poster".



Démonstrations

Une ou plusieurs séances de démonstrations seront organisées pour
permettre aux équipes de présenter leurs développements (maquettes,
prototypes, outils finalisés, mais aussi applications industrielles et
opérationnelles).
Les propositions de démonstrations peuvent être directement liées à
une communication (recherche ou appliquée) ou faire l'objet de
propositions d'articles de 3 pages maximum mentionnant sur la première
page qu'il s'agit d'une soumission de type "Démonstration".  Les
démonstrations pourront être mises en ligne aux formats wmv ou encore
avi.



Format
Les textes associés aux démonstrations et aux posters devront
respecter les modèles de documents proposés de la
conférence. (http://www.ic2010.mines-ales.fr/ rubrique Soumission).
Les auteurs sont invités à déposer leurs contributions au format PDF
en ligne http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ic2010

Ils feront l'objet d'un volume tiré à part et d'une clé USB qui seront
distribués aux participants de la conférence.


Calendrier
Date limite de soumission des posters et démonstrations : 15/04/2010.
Réponse aux auteurs : 03/05/2010.
Version définitive : 23/05/2010.

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

                    Second appel à communications

          Atelier Web Sémantique Médical, Nîmes 8 Juin 2010

            http://www-limbio.smbh.univ-paris13.fr/wsm10/

en conjonction avec les 21èmes Journées francophones d’Ingénierie des
Connaissances

                   http://www.ic2010.mines-ales.fr/

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

Aujourd'hui, le problème crucial qui est posé est celui du partage et
d'un accès «intelligent» à l'information médicale disponible.

Les ontologies et les terminologies prennent de plus en plus
d'importance.  Elles fournissent un vocabulaire commun ainsi qu'une
description de la signification des termes d'un domaine et des
relations qu'ils entretiennent qui est exploitable de manière
informatique.  Elles jouent un rôle majeur pour la nouvelle génération
du World Wide Web aussi appelé Web Sémantique car elles sont
indispensables pour décrire le contenu des ressources du Web et
faciliter leur exploitation.

Ainsi par exemple, la Systematised Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical
Terms (SNOMED CT) est utile aussi bien pour les dossiers électroniques
où elle réduit les possibilités de mauvaise interprétation des
données, que pour la recherche d'information. D'autres exemples
d'ontologies sont le Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA), le National
Cancer Institute (NCI) Thesaurus, Gene Ontology et OBO Foundry – un
entrepôt contenant plus de 80 ontologies biomédicales.

Les technologies, langages, outils et standards du Web Sémantique
(RDF, OWL, SPARQL...etc.) jouent également aujourd'hui un rôle de
toute première place pour les applications médicales.

L'objectif de cet atelier est de dresser un état des lieux en faisant
le point sur les avancées scientifiques et les projets réalisés
récemment en France dans le domaine biomédical, la dernière journée
Web Sémantique Médical ayant eu lieu en 2004 à Rouen.

Il vise notamment à rassembler des utilisateurs, développeurs, et
chercheurs tant universitaires qu'industriels pour décrire et partager
leur expérience autour d'applications basées sur des technologies du
Web Sémantique.



Les discussions pourront être organisées autour des thématiques (non
exhaustives) suivantes :

  * Terminologies et ontologies du domaine médical. Formalismes de
    représentation. Apport de la sémantique.

  * Méta-données et annotations pour la recherche d'information. Types
    de méta-données. Méta- données basées sur des ontologies. Outils
    d'aide à l'annotation.

  * Langages de requêtes, langages de règles basés ontologie, fouille
    de données et leurs apports.

  * Intégration de données multi-sources, entrepôts de données
    biomédicales sur le Web, alignement/mise en correspondance
    d'ontologies et de terminologies.

  * Applications biomédicales des technologies Web Sémantique au
    dossier patient, à la génomique et autres "iques", l'imagerie
    médicale, sites grand public, recherche biomédicale,
    enseignement,..etc.


Les chercheurs travaillant sur la thématique générale du Web
Sémantique Médical sont invités à soumettre des articles de 10 pages
maximum (figures et références incluses) au format **pdf** conforme
aux modèles de document d'IC (disponibles sur le site)

Les contributions devront être envoyées par courriel jusqu'au 20/04 à
lina.soualmia at gmail.com ET cgolbrei at gmail.com



Calendrier
Réception des articles : 20 Avril 2010
Réponse aux auteurs : 14 Mai 2010

Argumentaire

Comme dans les autres domaines de la linguistique, l’informatisation
des moyens d’analyse a profondément changé les objectifs et les
méthodes de la veille néologique.
Les observatoires de néologie disposent ainsi aujourd’hui, pour
l’exploration de vastes corpus numériques, d’outils performants
d’identification et de classement des néologismes, ainsi que
d’établissement de leur entrée dans l’usage.
Cependant ces avancées technologiques ont essentiellement bénéficié au
repérage de la néologie formelle, tandis que la néologie sémantique
continue, à bien des égards, de défier la détection
semi-automatisée. Comment ce défi est-il relevé aujourd’hui, avec
quelles méthodes et par quelles approches ?
Entre autres thèmes possibles, ces journées d’étude invitent ainsi à
faire le point, à échanger et à débattre sur :

- Les solutions techniques et logicielles existantes et les projets
  envisagés, en particulier concernant l’analyse des cooccurrents et
  l’étiquetage sémantique des ressources lexicales ;

- La constitution des corpus en vue de l’étude de néologismes
  sémantiques : par exemple à propos de l’intégration des traditions
  discursives (les genres, en particulier) pour l’étude de la
  nouveauté lexicale, ou encore par rapport à la “périodisation” des
  corpus, concernant les phases et les rythmes d’usualisation des
  néologismes ;

- La diversité des procédés néologiques, sa prise en compte, son
  traitement : des procédés connus de création néologique (métaphore,
  métonymie, restriction – extension de sens) aux procédés oubliés
  (paradoxe, euphémisme, antiphrase, etc.) ;

- Les théories sémantiques qui fondent les méthodes : leurs apports
  spécifiques au problème de la néologie, les difficultés de leur
  application, et ce qu’exigent encore ces théories de la détection
  automatisée.


Les contributions pourront choisir d’exposer la méthodologie d’une
approche particulière, de présenter les présupposés et les résultats
d’une étude de cas, et/ou d’argumenter un point de vue critique,
notamment en soulignant les difficultés actuelles et les pistes de
recherche possibles.

=======================================
Appel à Communications

Atelier "Evolution d'ontologies"

http://www.irit.fr/evolution2010

Nîmes - 8 juin 2010
Associé à IC 2010
Date limite de soumission : 23 avril 2010
=========================================

** Problématique **

Les ontologies sont souvent considérées comme des représentations
stables puisque consensuelles. Or leur utilisation dans des
applications les place dans des contextes dynamiques, dans lesquels
évoluent les connaissances et les terminologies des domaines, les
besoins des utilisateurs ou encore les collections documentaires, les
ressources à exploiter dans les applications, etc.

L'objectif de cet atelier est de rendre compte des recherches et
résultats actuels relatifs à la question de l'évolution des ontologies
dans leur contexte d'utilisation. Étroitement liée au mode de
conception de l'ontologie, l'évolution se heurte aux mêmes obstacles :

      * difficulté à identifier les connaissances à modifier pour que
        l'ontologie réponde au mieux à un besoin particulier,
      * difficultés à modifier la structure de l'ontologie,
      * difficulté à évaluer l'impact et la pertinence d'une
        modification sur la structure conceptuelle,
      * difficultés à prendre en compte l'impact des modifications sur
        les applications utilisant l'ontologie, par exemple quand elle
        utilisée pour l'annotation sémantique

La maintenance peut être facilitée si l'ontologie a été documentée, et
surtout si les choix de modélisation sont explicitement notés dans
l'ontologie. Dans le cas d'ontologies construites à partir de textes
ou utilisées pour l'annotation sémantique de textes, outre la facilité
d'enrichissement de l'ontologie que permettent les logiciels d'analyse
de textes, la possibilité de revenir aux textes sources constitue une
aide à l'interprétation et donc à l'évolution. D'autres approches
abordent cette question sous son angle « syntaxique », et tirent
profit des modes de représentation des connaissances. Ainsi, sont
étudiés les problèmes de gestion de cohérence et de maintien de la
validité lors de l'ajout ou du retrait de concepts et
relations. D'autres travaux s'appuient sur la structure des
ontologies, l'analyse de textes ou la réutilisation d'ontologies ou de
ressources terminologiques pour constater la nécessité de les mettre à
jour. Des techniques initialement définies pour comparer deux
ontologies sont aussi adaptées pour mesurer l'adéquation d'une
ontologie à un nouveau corpus ou à de nouveaux besoins. Enfin,
plusieurs travaux ont cherché à typer et caractériser les
modifications de sens au sein des ontologies afin d'outiller leur mise
en place.

Il s'agit là d'axes de recherche au sein de projets européens comme
Knowledge Web, SEKT ou NeOn. Au niveau international, cette
problématique est au centre des ateliers IWOD et correspond aux
thématiques de l'appel à papier du numéro spécial du Journal of Web
Semantics sur Semantic Web Dynamics.

** Sujet des articles **

Les articles soumis à l'atelier pourront traiter d'évolution
d'ontologies au sens large, ainsi que des thèmes liés comme la gestion
de versions, la révision, l'enrichissement d'ontologies. Il pourra
s'agir de travaux de recherche (présentation de méthodes, d'outils
oude résultats théoriques) ou de travaux plus appliqués tels que des
études de cas. En particulier, nous mentionnons les thèmes suivants
(entre autres) :

      * repérer des causes d'évolution, détecter des changements
            o  apport de l'analyse de ressources externes
            o apport du traitement automatique de langues et de la
              fouille de textes
            o apport de l'analyse des logs et des interactions avec un
              utilisateur
            o adaptation lors de la réutilisation, intégration ou
              fusion d'ontologies

      * décrire la nature des changements, typologies ou ontologies de
        changement

      * décrire des solutions pour mettre en place et implémenter des
        processus évolutions
            o utilisation de règles, de patrons,
            o apports des systèmes multi-agents
            o passage à l'échelle des processus d'évolution

      * proposer une gestion des évolutions assurant un lien avec les
        artéfacts utilisant les ontologies, gérer les conséquences et
        répercussion des changements

            o critères pour évaluer la "qualité" ou l'adéquation d'une
              ontologie (avant / après modification)
            o méthodes ou techniques pour assurer la cohérence entre
              une ontologie et ses utilisations
            o lien avec la recherche d'information, les annotations
              sémantiques, les web services

      * aide à la gestion de version, aide à la gestion coopérative
        d'ontologies

First Call for Papers and Participation
Young Researchers' Roundtable on Spoken Dialogue Systems 2010
22nd-23rd September, at Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan

*Overview and goals*
The Young Researchers' Roundtable on Spoken Dialogue Systems (YRRSDS)
is an annual workshop designed for post-graduate students, post-docs
and junior researchers working in research related to spoken dialogue
systems in both academia and industry. The roundtable provides an open
forum where participants can discuss their research interests, current
work and future plans. The workshop has three main goals:

- to offer an interdisciplinary forum for creative thinking about
  current issues in spoken dialogue systems research

- to provide young researchers with career advice from senior
  researchers and professionals from both academic and industrial
  backgrounds

- to develop a stronger international network of young researchers
  working in the field.

(Important note: There is no age restriction for participating in the
workshop; the word 'young' is meant to indicate that it is targeted
towards researchers who are at a relatively early stage in their
career.)

*Topics and sessions*
Potential Roundtable discussion topics could include:
- Links between dialog and cognition
- Role of affect in dialog
- Face-to-face dialog involves the embodiment of messages
- Dialog systems as a testbed for theories of dialog
- Turn-taking versus continuous interaction
- Context and spoken dialog systems
- Models of dialog: Statistical dialog modeling vs. symbolic dialog
  modeling (rule-based, plan-based, agent-based)
- Dialog management: Domain/task/strategy switching in multi-purpose
- Combination of chatting/information seeking/task-oriented dialog
  management, Self-evolutionary dialog management, Multiparty dialog
- Building truly incremental SDS
- Models for learning and reasoning beyond the confines of a single
  interaction
- Objectivity and SDS evaluation, Shared evaluation and data
  collection campaigns
- Dialog data collection, Sharing data sets and formats for
  statistical models

Previous workshops were held in London (INTERSPEECH 2009), Columbus
(ACL 2008), Antwerp (INTERSPEECH 2007), Pittsburgh (INTERSPEECH 2006)
and Lisbon (INTERSPEECH 2005).

YRRSDS'10 will feature:
- a senior researcher panel (both academia and industry)
- a demo and poster session
- a special session on robots and spoken dialog systems

*Workshop date*
YRRSDS'10 will take place on September 22nd and 23rd, 2010
(before SIGDial 2010, Interspeech and IWSDS 2010).

*Workshop location*
The 2010 YRRSDS will be held at Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan,
one of the Japan's leading research-focused higher education
institutions.
Waseda University is founded in 1882, and since then
it has been one of Japan's top private,
co-educational institutions of higher learning.

*Grants*
YRRSDS 2010 will be supported this year by ISCA, the International
Speech Communication Association. ISCA will consider applications for
a limited number of travel grants. Applications should be send
directly to grants at isca-speech.org, details of the application process
and forms are available from http://www.isca-speech.org/grants.html.

*Sponsors*

Aldebaran Robotics and Orange Labs

*Submission process*
Participants will be asked to submit a 2-page position paper based on
a template provided by the organising committee. In their papers,
authors will include a short biographical sketch, a brief statement of
research interests, a description of their research work, and a short
discussion of what they believe to be the most significant and
interesting issues in spoken dialogue systems today and in the near
future. Participants will also provide three suggestions for
discussion topics.
Workshop attendance will be limited to 50 participants. Submissions
will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis. Submissions will
be collated and made available to participants. We also plan to
publish the position papers and presentations from the workshop on the
web, subject to any sponsor or publisher constraints.

    23rd European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
			     ESSLLI 2011
			  August 1-12, 2011
			 Ljubljana, Slovenia
		Call for Course and Workshop Proposals
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI)
is organized every year by the Association for Logic, Language and
Information (FoLLI, http://www.folli.org/) in different sites around
Europe.  The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between
linguistics, logic and computer science.  ESSLLI offers foundational,
introductory and advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a
wide variety of topics within or around the three main areas of
interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and
Computation.  Previous summer schools have been highly successful,
attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere.  The school
has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion
for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study
of Logic, Language and Information.  For more information, visit the
FoLLI website, as well as the ESSLLI 2010 website:
http://esslli2010cph.info/.


CALL FOR COURSE AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The ESSLLI 2011 Program Committee invites proposals for foundational,
introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 23rd
annual Summer School on important topics of active research in the
broad interdisciplinary area connecting logic, linguistics, computer
science and the cognitive sciences.

All proposals should be submitted, using a prescribed form that will
be available soon on the ESSLLI 2011 website, no later than:

June 14, 2010

Authors of proposals will be notified of the committee's decision by
September 15, 2010.


GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION

Proposers of courses and workshops should follow the guidelines below
while preparing their submissions; proposals that do not conform with
these guidelines may not be considered.

Courses are taught by 1 or max. 2 lecturers, and workshops are
organized by 1 or max. 2 organizers.  Lecturers and organizers must
have obtained a Ph.D. or an equivalent degree at the time of the
submission deadline.  Courses and workshops run over one week
(Monday-Friday) and consist of five 90-minute sessions.  Lecturers who
want to offer a long, two-week course should submit two independent
one-week courses (for example, an introductory course in the first
week and an advance course in the second).  The ESSLLI program
committee has the right to select only one of the two proposed
courses.


FOUNDATIONAL COURSES

These are strictly elementary courses not assuming any background
knowledge.  They are intended for people who wish to get acquainted
with the problems and techniques of areas new to them.  Ideally, they
should allow researchers from other fields to acquire the key
competencies of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the
development of a truly interdisciplinary research community.
Foundational courses should have no special prerequisites, but may
presuppose some experience with scientific methods and general
appreciation of the field of the course.


INTRODUCTORY COURSES

Introductory courses are central to the activities of the Summer
School.  They are intended to provide an introduction to the
(interdisciplinary) field for students, young researchers, and other
non-specialists, and to equip them with a good understanding of the
field's basic methods and techniques.  Such courses should enable
experienced researchers from other fields to acquire the key
competencies of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the
development of a truly interdisciplinary research community.
Introductory courses in a topic at the interface of two fields can
build on some knowledge of the component fields; e.g., an introductory
course in computational linguistics should address an audience which
is familiar with the basics of linguistics and computation.  Proposals
for introductory courses should indicate the level of the course as
compared to standard texts in the area (if available).


ADVANCED COURSES

Advanced courses should be pitched at an audience of advanced Masters
or Ph.D. students.  Proposals for advanced courses should specify the
prerequisites in detail.


TIMETABLE FOR COURSE PROPOSAL SUBMISSION:
Jun 14, 2010: Proposal Submission Deadline
Sep 15, 2010: Notification Deadline
Jun  1, 2011: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready course material by
the ESSLLI 2011 local organizers


WORKSHOPS

The aim of the workshops is to provide a forum for advanced Ph.D.
students and other researchers to present and discuss their work.
Workshops should have a well-defined theme, and workshop organizers
should be specialists in the theme of the workshop.  The proposals for
workshops should justify the choice of topic, give an estimate of the
number of attendants and expected submissions, and provide a list of
at least 15 potential submitters working in the field of the workshop.
The organizers are required to give a general introduction to the
theme during the first session of the workshop.  They are also
responsible for various organizational matters, including soliciting
submissions, reviewing, drawing up the program, taking care of
expenses of invited speakers, etc.  In particular, each workshop
organizer will be responsible for sending out a Call for Papers for
the workshop and to organize the selection of the submissions by the
deadlines specified below.  The call for workshop submissions must
make it clear that the workshop is open to all members of the ESSLLI
community and should indicate that all workshop contributors must
register for the Summer School.

TIMETABLE FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS:
Jun 14, 2010: Proposal Submission Deadline
Sep 15, 2010: Notification Deadline
Oct 15, 2010: Deadline for submission of the Calls for Papers to
              ESSLLI 2011 PC chair
Nov  1, 2010: Workshop organizers send out First Call for Papers
Dec 15, 2010: Workshop organizers send out Second Call for Papers
Jan 15, 2011: Workshop organizers send out Third Call for Papers
Feb 15, 2011: Deadline for submissions to the workshops
Apr 15, 2011: Suggested deadline for notification of workshop
              contributors
Jun  1, 2011: Deadline for submission of camera-ready copy of workshop
              proceedings to the ESSLLI 2011 Local Organizers.

Workshop speakers will be required to register for the Summer School;
however, they will be able to register at a reduced rate to be
determined by the Local Organizers.


FORMAT FOR PROPOSALS

A form for submitting course and workshop proposals will be available
soon on the ESSLLI 2011 web site: http://esslli2011.ijs.si/.

The proposers are required to submit the following information:

* Contact address and fax number
* Name, email, affiliation, homepage of each lecturer / workshop
  organizer (at most two per course or workshop)
* Title of proposed course/workshop
* Abstract (abstract of the proposal, max 150 words)
* Type (workshop, foundational, introductory, or advanced course)
* Areas (one or more of: Computation, Language, Logic, or Other)
* Description (describe the proposed contents of the course and
  substantiate timeliness and relevance to ESSLLI in at most one A4
  page)
* Tentative outline of the course / expected participation in the
  workshop
* External funding (whether the proposers will be able to obtain
  external funding for travel and accommodation expenses)
* Further particulars (e.g., course prerequisites, previous teaching
  experiences, etc.)


FINANCIAL ASPECTS

Prospective lecturers and workshop organizers should be aware that all
teaching and organizing at the summer schools is done on a voluntary
basis in order to keep the participants' fees as low as possible.
Lecturers and organizers are not paid for their contribution, but are
reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses (up to fixed maximum
amounts, which will be communicated to the lecturers upon
notification).  Lecturers and workshop organizers will have their
registration fee waived.  In case a course or workshop is to be
taught/organized by two people, a lump sum will be reimbursed to cover
travel and accommodation expenses for one of them; the splitting of
the sum is up to the lecturers/organizers.  It should be stressed that
while proposals from all over the world are welcomed, the School
cannot guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs, especially from
destinations outside Europe.

The local organizers would highly appreciate it if, whenever possible,
lecturers and workshop organizers find alternative funding to cover
travel and accommodation expenses, as that would help us keep the cost
of attending ESSLLI 2011 lower.

*Introduction*

Scientific and economic organizations are confronted with handling an
abundance of strategic information in their domain activities. One
main challenge is to be able to find the right information quickly. In
order to do so, organizations must master information access: getting
relevant query results that are organized, sorted, and actionable.

Recent technological progress in computer science, Web technologies,
and the constantly evolving information available on the Internet has
drastically changed the landscape of search and access to information.
Current search engines employ advanced techniques involving machine
learning, social networks and semantic analysis.

*Objectives of the Book*

The main goal of this book is to transfer the new research results
from the fields of advanced computer sciences and information science
in order to master the access to information. The readers will be able
to have a better idea of the results in applied research. The
achievement of relevant, organized, sorted and workable answers -- to
name but a few -- from a search is become a daily need for the
enterprises and organizations, and, to a greater extent, for
anyone. It does not consist of accessing to structural information
like in standard databases only; neither it does consist of searching
information strictly by the mean of a combination of key words. It
goes far beyond that. The information sought must be able to be
identified by the topics covered by it, that is to say its textual,
audio, video or graphical content. This is not a new issue. However,
recent technological advances have totally changed the used
techniques. The new Web technologies, the emergence of Intranet
systems and the abundance of information on the Internet have created
the need for efficient search and information access tools.

*Target Audience*

This book is intended for scientists and decision-makers who wish to
gain working knowledge about search in order to evaluate available
solutions and to dialogue with software and data providers. It also
targets intranet or Web server designers, developers and
administrators who wish to understand how to integrate search
technology in their applications according to their needs. This book
is further designed for database, groupware applications and document
management systems (EDM) designers, developers and administrators, as
well as libraries or documentation centres directors who seek a deeper
understanding of the tools they use, and how to set up new information
systems. Lastly, this book aims all professionals in technology or
competitive intelligence and, more generally, the specialists of the
information market.

*Recommended topics include, but /are not limited to/, the
 following:*//

. Semantic Web

More and more content producers, as a result of the W3C
recommendations on the semantic Web, index their databases with
metadata or taxonomies (ontologies), in order to allow the search
engines to adapt to the semantic analyzers. Currently many algorithms
are being developed for semantic information research systems that do
not impose hit-or-miss keyword searcher on the user.

. Generation of large-scale search engine index

. Video, audio and graphics indexing

. Query user interface: Controlled natural languages, natural language
  query, multilingual search, etc.

. Index Data Structures: Suffix tree, tree, Inverted index, Ngram
  index, Term document matrix, etc.

. Multi-sources and multi-formats indexation: Most recent search
  engines can index many different information sources, such as:

- FTP servers,

- files systems,

- Web pages,

- DBMS such as Oracles, Sybase, DB2, SQL Server and others.

- Document-oriented databases such as Lotus Notes.

- Desktop applications files such as Microsoft Office suite (Word,
  PowerPoint), RTF format, ...

- Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF)

- PostScript (PS)

- LaTex

- The UseNet archive (NNTP) and other deprecated bulletin board
  formats

- XML and derivatives like RSS

- SGML (this is more of a general protocol)

. Emergence of new axis in the Next Generation of Search Engines

- Real-time search,

- Local search,

- GPS sensitive search,

- Mobile search,

- Search in the Cloud,

- Search using Hadoop,

- Map reduce, etc.

· Life Sciences Applications: A special section will be dedicated to
recent developments for life sciences. As the volume of research
digital data increases exponentially, searching information and
documents, as well as links to data sources is becoming a main
issue. Exemplary realizations that made it possible to unlock
technological and scientific bolts will be presented.

*PROLONGATION DE LA DATE DE SOUMISSION DES PROPOSITIONS JUSQU’AU 30
 AVRIL:*

Colloque des doctorants et jeunes chercheurs : 2010

Coldoc 2010, organisé par le Laboratoire MoDyCo

Université Paris Ouest Nanterre – La Défense.

Merci de faire circuler cette information dans vos réseaux respectifs.

 *Appel à Communication*

L’édition 2010 de Coldoc, le colloque des doctorants et jeunes
chercheurs en Sciences du Langage de l’Université Paris Ouest Nanterre
La Défense aura pour thème :

*« La définition en sciences du Langage. »*

Le Colloque international des jeunes chercheurs et des doctorants,
ColDoc, se donne pour objectif de s’interroger sur *la définition en
sciences du langage. ** La définition est souvent considérée comme une
activité linguistique naturelle, un acte de langage universellement
reconnu, qui partage avec les autres activités quotidiennes et
ordinaires sa pratique spontanée dans le parler de tous les jours. Or
il s’agit peut-être d’un des domaines de recherche les moins exploités
à ce jour. *

Ce phénomène concerne toutes les langues, et tous les niveaux de
l’analyse linguistique. La définition est un moteur des jeux de
langage et un des moyens de clarification dans les malentendus et les
ruptures de compréhension. Elle fait partie de notre bagage langagier
commun, mais aussi constitue un outil nécessaire à l’appréhension
scientifique des phénomènes linguistiques.  **

Ce vaste thème de recherche peut s’exprimer dans un certain nombre de
questions et de pistes de réflexion non exhaustives :


- Comment définir le concept de définition ?

- Qu’est ce qu’une définition pour un enfant qui apprend à parler ?

- L’activité définitoire concerne bien sûr le lexique et la
  sémantique, mais dans quelle mesure le locuteur ordinaire peut-il,
  et de quelle manière, définir des faits concernant la syntaxe, la
  phonologie, la pragmatique, le discours et l’ensemble des sciences
  du langage ?

- Comment se développe et s’exerce, et évolue l’activité de définir
  chez l’enfant ? En quoi la capacité définitoire dépend-elle de la
  littéracie ?

- En quoi les définitions scientifiques s’écartent-elles des
  définitions courantes par les locuteurs ordinaires de phénomènes
  concernant la sociolinguistique, le bi- et plurilinguisme ?

- En quoi, inversement, les linguistes ont-ils besoin pour leurs
  visées scientifiques des définitions ordinaires concernant le
  langage et ses usages ?

- En quoi la définition d’une notion peut-elle constituer un enjeu
  pratique, idéologique et scientifique ?

- Sur quoi s'appuie un locuteur pour définir quelque chose?

- Sur quoi s’appuie-t-on pour créer une définition pour une communauté ?

- Est-il possible d'envisager une dynamique de la définition qui
  s'applique à des unités ayant un statut non-permanent ou flou ?

- Comment les définitions peuvent-elles être générées automatiquement ?

- Qu’en est-il du pouvoir émotif des mots, particulièrement la
  capacité pour un terme « d’évoquer » d’autres termes ? Que font
  alors les lexicographes en définissant les mots ?


Coldoc 2010 incite les doctorants et jeunes chercheurs à s’interroger
sur ces problématiques et à nous envoyer leur proposition de
communication à l’adresse suivante :

coldoc2010 at gmail.com

La proposition devra être envoyée en fichier attaché d’une page
minimum à deux pages maximum comprenant :

- Le titre ;

- Le résumé ;

- Une bibliographie de 5 titres maximum ;

- 5 mots-clés.

*(Format Word ou OpenOffice, police 12, marge 2,5, interligne 1,5,
*justifié)

Préciser au début du fichier (au format .doc ou .odt) s’il s’agit
d’une proposition de communication ou d’un poster, et l’intituler :

*Titre_abrégé_de_la_communication.doc ou .odt*

Nous vous remercions d’indiquer dans le corps du message votre nom,
votre adresse e-mail, le titre de la communication, l’Université et le
laboratoire de rattachement, le directeur de thèse et la date de

*** Proposition de thèse financée ***

Le laboratoire LaTTiCe-CNRS, en collaboration avec l'équipe INRA-MIG,
propose une thèse financée sur 3 ans à partir d'octobre 2010.

- Thème de recherche

La recherche concerne le traitement automatique des langues (TAL). On
sait que les systèmes de TAL ont besoin de ressources adaptées aux
traitements visés ; des ressources existent pour la langue générale
mais le besoin de ressources spécialisées est de plus en plus évident
au fur et à mesure que des domaines spécialisés sont
abordés. L'analyse de textes journalistiques demande des ressources
très différentes de celles qui doivent être mises en oeuvre pour
l'analyse de textes du domaine juridique ou médical.

Dans ce contexte, l'adaptation purement manuelle de ressources
langagières est difficilement envisageable tant la tâche est lourde,
coûteuse et fastidieuse. Les besoins applicatifs sont, quant à eux,
changeants et évolutifs. C'est pourquoi l'acquisition de ressources
langagières à partir de corpus bruts est un domaine de recherche qui
s'est considérablement développé ces dernières années (voir
références).


- Sujet de la thèse

La thèse s'inscrit dans le contexte décrit supra : il s'agit
d'explorer des techniques d'acquisition de connaissances lexicales à
partir de textes, à des fins applicatives. L'analyse portera plus
particulièrement sur le prédicat verbal car celui-ci jour un rôle
essentiel pour les applications de TAL (repérage d'événements,
extraction d'information, etc.). On s'intéressera par exemple à
l'acquisition de cadres de sous-catégorisation et de restrictions de
sélections afin de déterminer des familles de verbes ayant un
comportement syntaxico-sémantique proche.

L'analyse portera sur des textes de langue générale et sur des langues
de spécialité (issus par exemple de la base de données Medline). La
thèse pourra être l'occasion d'étudier les aspects contrastifs (d'une
langue à l'autre, d'un domaine à l'autre). L'accent sera également mis
sur l'utilisabilité des méthodes développées : au moins une partie de
l'évaluation portera sur la validation de l'approche et sur la mesure
de la qualité des ressources produites pour une tâche donnée. On
participera le cas échéant à des campagnes d'évaluation pertinentes.

Les deux laboratoires partenaires (LaTTiCe-CNRS et INRA-MIG) ont déjà
une bonne expérience sur le domaine. La thèse se déroulera en outre
dans le cadre d'une collaboration internationale en cours sur le sujet
avec l'Université de Cambridge.


- Compétences demandées

Les compétences demandées pour cette thèse pluridisciplinaire sont
diverses. Les éléments suivants seront évalués en priorité :

- compétences en traitement des langues et/ou en linguistique
- compétences en informatique (perl, java)
- connaissances des techniques d'apprentissage artificiel
- qualité de la rédaction écrite, notamment en anglais
- connaissance de l'anglais
- intérêt pour les domaines de spécialité, notamment la biologie

La thèse aura lieu au laboratoire LaTTiCe (à Montrouge) et au
laboratoire INRA-MIG (Jouy-en-Josas), en banlieue sud de Paris. La
répartition du temps de travail entre les deux laboratoires sera
déterminée en fonction des besoins pour la thèse.


- Comment candidater ?

Envoyer dès que possible (et en tout état de cause avant le 30 avril)
un mail à Thierry Poibeau (prenom.nom at ens.fr) et à Claire Nedellec
(prenom.nom at jouy.inra.fr) en joignant un CV détaillé et une lettre de
motivation. Joindre un lien vers le mémoire de Master ou tout autre
mémoire rédigé récemment. Les entretiens et la sélection auront lieu
début mai.

Information additionnelles : https://www2.cnrs.fr/DRH/doctorants-10/
(Attention : un avis signé du directeur de Master est nécessaire pour
le dossier final)

Le financement de la thèse est assuré pour moitié par une allocation
CNRS et pour moitié par le projet Quaero, dans lequel est impliqué
l'équipe MIG de l'INRA. Le montant de l'allocation est de 1757
euros/bruts par mois. Le lancement de la thèse est encore soumis à la
signature d'un accord de partenariat entre le CNRS et l'INRA.

Le CEA LIST propose une allocation doctorale de recherche pour la
rentrée universitaire 2010.

Le sujet de thèse porte sur l'utilisation de corpus parallèles ou
comparables pour la construction de ressources linguistiques
multilingues.

Description du sujet :

Les applications des corpus de textes parallèles ou comparables sont
diverses : constitution de dictionnaires et de listes terminologiques
bilingues pour la recherche d'information multilingue et la traduction
automatique, construction de mémoires de traduction, désambiguïsation
sémantique, etc. Les techniques d'alignement constituent un préalable
à l'exploitation de ces corpus : qu'il s'agisse d'aligner au niveau
des paragraphes, des phrases ou d'apparier des unités lexicales, la
plupart des applications reposent sur la possibilité d'extraire des
correspondances précises entre les textes source et cible.

La compagne d'évaluation ARCADE II a montré que l'alignement
phrastique à partir de corpus parallèles est une tâche désormais bien
maîtrisée pour les langues à écriture latine. En revanche,
l'appariement au niveau lexical demeure une opération complexe et les
résultats des aligneurs actuels, qui sont limités à l'extraction de
mots simples ou de groupes nominaux, sont modestes. La rareté des
corpus alignés, en particulier dans des domaines de spécialité,
conduit en outre à orienter les recherches sur l'extraction de
lexiques bilingues vers l'utilisation de corpus comparables. Dans ce
cas, les travaux s'inscrivent généralement dans le cadre de la
sémantique distributionnelle. Les meilleurs résultats d'alignement de
mots, que ce soit pour des corpus parallèles ou comparables, sont
obtenus en utilisant un dictionnaire ou un lexique bilingue
pré-existant.

Dans la perspective d'automatiser le processus de construction de
dictionnaires multilingues à partir de corpus de textes parallèles ou
comparables spécialisés ou du domaine général, le sujet de thèse
proposé a pour but l'exploration et l'expérimentation de nouvelles
approches pour l'alignement de mots simples et complexes, l'objectif
étant l'amélioration de la qualité des résultats de l'alignement tout
en limitant la contrainte de l'existence au préalable du lexique
bilingue ou de sa couverture. La thèse examinera en particulier
l'intérêt de la prise en compte des dimensions sémantique et
thématique dans l'exploitation de corpus comparables en s'appuyant sur
des processus automatiques de structuration thématique de lexiques et
de découverte de sens de mots à partir de corpus.

Environnement :

La thèse se fera au sein du CEA LIST à Fontenay-aux-Roses dans le
Laboratoire Vision et Ingénierie des Contenus (LVIC) spécialisé en
extraction automatique de méta-données depuis les flux multimédia et
en indexation et recherche d'information multimédia et multilingue.

Conditions sur les candidatures :

- avoir moins de 26 ans
- avoir un diplôme de Master Recherche ou équivalent en informatique


Expérience souhaitée :

- Compétences en traitement automatique de la langue et en statistique
  souhaitées

Modalité de dépôt de candidature :

Les candidatures (CV + Lettre de motivation + Lettres de
recommandation + Relevé de notes depuis le Bac) sont à envoyer le plus
rapidement possible à Nasredine Semmar (nasredine.semmar at cea.fr)

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

AIMS and TARGET AUDIENCE

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers involved in
the construction and application of electronic dictionaries to discuss
modifications of existing resources in line with the users' needs,
thereby fully exploiting the advantages of the digital form. Given the
breadth of the questions, we welcome reports on work from many
perspectives, including but not limited to: computational
lexicography, psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, language
learning and ergonomics.


MOTIVATION

Whenever we read a book, write a letter or launch a query on a search
engine, we always use words, the shorthand labels and concrete forms
of abstract notions (concepts, ideas and more or less well specified
thoughts). Yet, words are not only vehicles to express thoughts, they
are also means to conceive them. They are mediators between language
and thought, allowing us to move quickly from one idea to another,
refining, expanding or illustrating our possibly underspecified
thoughts. Only words have these unique capabilities, which is why they
are so important.

Obviously, a good dictionary should contain many entries and a lot of
information associated with each one of them. Yet, the quality of a
dictionary depends not only on coverage, but also on accessibility of
information. Access strategies vary with the task (text understanding
vs. text production) and the knowledge available at the moment of
consultation (word, concept, speech sounds). Unlike readers who look
for meanings, writers start from them, searching for the corresponding
words. While paper dictionaries are static, permitting only limited
strategies for accessing information, their electronic counterparts
promise dynamic, proactive search via multiple criteria (meaning,
sound, related words) and via diverse access routes. Navigation takes
place in a huge conceptual lexical space, and the results are
displayable in a multitude of forms (e.g. as trees, as lists, as
graphs, or sorted alphabetically, by topic, by frequency).

Many lexicographers work nowadays with huge digital corpora, using
language technology to build and to maintain the lexicon. But access
to the potential wealth of information in dictionaries remains limited
for the common user. Yet, the new possibilities of electronic media in
terms of comfort, speed and flexibility (multiple inputs, polyform
outputs) are enormous. Computational resources are not prone to the
same limitations as paperbound dictionaries. The latter were limited
in scope, being confined to a specific task (translation, synonyms,
...)  due to economical reasons, but this limitation is not justified
anymore.

Today we can perform all tasks via one single resource, which may
comprise a dictionary, a thesaurus and even more. The goal of this
workshop is to perform the groundwork for the next generation of
electronic dictionaries, that is, to study the possibility of
integrating the different resources, as well as to explore the
feasibility of taking the user's needs, knowledge and access
strategies into account.


TOPICS

For this workshop we invite papers including but not limited to the
following topics:

* Conceptual input of a dictionary user.
What is in the authors' minds when they are generating a message and
looking for a word? Do they start from partial definitions, i.e.
underspecified input (bag of words), conceptual primitives,
semantically related words, something akin to synsets, or something
completely different? What does it take to bridge the gap between this
input, incomplete as it may be, and the desired output (target word)?

* Organizing the lexicon and indexing words.
Concepts, words and multi-word expressions can be organized and
indexed in many ways, depending on the task and language type. For
example, in Indo-European languages words are traditionally organized
in alphabetical order, whereas in Chinese they are organized by
semantic radicals and stroke counts. The way words and multi-word
expressions are stored and organized affects indexing and
access. Since knowledge states (i.e. knowledge available when
initiating search) vary greatly and in unpredictable ways, indexing
must allow for multiple ways of navigation and access. Hence the
question: what organizational principles allow the greatest
flexibility for access?

* Access, navigation and search strategies based on various entry
types (modalities) and knowledge states.
Words are composed of meanings, forms and sounds. Hence, access should
be possible via any of these components: via meanings (bag of words),
via forms, simple or compound ('hot, dog' vs. 'hot-dog'), and via
sounds (syllables). Access should even be possible if input is given
in an incomplete, imprecise or degraded form. Furthermore, to allow
for natural and efficient access, we need to take the users' knowledge
into account (search space reduction) and provide adequate
navigational tools, metaphorically speaking, a map and a compass. How
do existing tools address these needs, and what could be done to go
further?

* NLP applications:
Contributors can also demonstrate how such enhanced dictionaries, once
embedded in existing NLP applications, can boost performance and help
solve lexical and textual-entailment problems, such as those evaluated
in SEMEVAL 2007, or, more generally, generation problems encountered
in the context of summarization, question-answering, interactive
paraphrasing or translation.


IMPORTANT DATES

- Deadline for paper submissions: May 30, 2010
- Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2010
- Camera-ready papers due: July 10, 2010
- Cogalex workshopˇ: August 22, 2010


SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished work on any of the
topic areas of the workshop. As reviewing will be blind the paper
should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore
self-references revealing the authors' identity should be avoided.
The submitted papers can be of any of the following two types:

1. Long papers should present completed work and should not exceed 10
   pages (including data, tables, figures, and references).
2. Short papers can present work in progress (up to 6 pages)

Please include a one-paragraph abstract of the work (about 200 words).
While the paper length may differ, the format will be the same as the
one of the main conference. Hence we suggest that you get hold of the
adequate style sheets (LATEX or MS Word) which can be found
here:http://www.coling-2010.org/SubmissionGuideline.htm.

Submission will be electronic (PDF format only) via the START 
conference management software 
(https://www.softconf.com/coling2010/COGALEX2010/).

Double submission policy: Authors may submit the same paper at several
meetings, but a paper published at this workshop cannot be published
elsewhere. In case of double submission, you must notify the workshop
organizers in a separate e-mail, so we know that the paper might be
withdrawn depending on the results elsewhere.


RELATED CONFERENCES in BEIJING

Next to COLING 2010 there are two conferences workshop participants
may be interested in:

- the 7th International Conference on Cognitive Science (ICCS) which
  takes place August 17 to 20, 2010, just before COLING. It is our
  hope that this unique opportunity will foster scientific exchange
  between the scientific communities of Computational Linguistics and
  Cognitive Science. The ICCS' venue is the China National Convention
  Center (CNCC) which is close to COLING's site, the Beijing
  International Convention Center (BICC), located on the other side of
  the China National Stadium ('Bird Nest').

- Also somewhat related is the 6th IEEE International Conference on
  Natural Language Processing and Knowledge Engineering (IEEE
  NLP-KE'10).  Yet, as it is scheduled for August 21 to 23, 2010, it
  overlaps with our workshop.

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

     *****PROLONGATION DE LA DATE DE SOUMISSION AU 30 AVRIL*****

          Atelier Web Sémantique Médical, Nîmes 8 Juin 2010

            http://www-limbio.smbh.univ-paris13.fr/wsm10/

en conjonction avec les 21èmes Journées francophones d’Ingénierie des
Connaissances

            http://www.ic2010.mines-ales.fr/

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

Aujourd'hui, le problème crucial qui est posé est celui du partage et
d'un accès «intelligent» à l'information médicale disponible.

Les ontologies et les terminologies prennent de plus en plus
d'importance.  Elles fournissent un vocabulaire commun ainsi qu'une
description de la signification des termes d'un domaine et des
relations qu'ils entretiennent qui est exploitable de manière
informatique.  Elles jouent un rôle majeur pour la nouvelle génération
du World Wide Web aussi appelé Web Sémantique car elles sont
indispensables pour décrire le contenu des ressources du Web et
faciliter leur exploitation.

Ainsi par exemple, la Systematised Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical
Terms (SNOMED CT) est utile aussi bien pour les dossiers électroniques
où elle réduit les possibilités de mauvaise interprétation des
données, que pour la recherche d'information. D'autres exemples
d'ontologies sont le Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA), le National
Cancer Institute (NCI) Thesaurus, Gene Ontology et OBO Foundry – un
entrepôt contenant plus de 80 ontologies biomédicales.

Les technologies, langages, outils et standards du Web Sémantique
(RDF, OWL, SPARQL...etc.) jouent également aujourd'hui un rôle de
toute première place pour les applications médicales.

L'objectif de cet atelier est de dresser un état des lieux en faisant
le point sur les avancées scientifiques et les projets réalisés
récemment en France dans le domaine biomédical, la dernière journée
Web Sémantique Médical ayant eu lieu en 2004 à Rouen.

Il vise notamment à rassembler des utilisateurs, développeurs, et
chercheurs tant universitaires qu'industriels pour décrire et partager
leur expérience autour d'applications basées sur des technologies du
Web Sémantique.



Les discussions pourront être organisées autour des thématiques (non
exhaustives) suivantes :

  * Terminologies et ontologies du domaine médical. Formalismes de
    représentation. Apport de la sémantique.

  * Méta-données et annotations pour la recherche d'information. Types
    de méta-données. Méta- données basées sur des ontologies. Outils
    d'aide à l'annotation.

  * Langages de requêtes, langages de règles basés ontologie, fouille
    de données et leurs apports.

  * Intégration de données multi-sources, entrepôts de données
    biomédicales sur le Web, alignement/mise en correspondance
    d'ontologies et de terminologies.

  * Applications biomédicales des technologies Web Sémantique au
    dossier patient, à la génomique et autres "iques", l'imagerie
    médicale, sites grand public, recherche biomédicale,
    enseignement,..etc.


Les chercheurs travaillant sur la thématique générale du Web
Sémantique Médical sont invités à soumettre des articles de 10 pages
maximum (figures et références incluses) au format **pdf** conforme
aux modèles de document d'IC (disponibles sur le site)

Les contributions devront être envoyées par courriel jusqu'au 30/04 à
lina.soualmia at gmail.com ET cgolbrei at gmail.com

Call for Papers: ECAI  2010 Workshop
Language, Pragmatics and Explanation, LPE’10
Lisbon, August 2010

Outline and aims

Explanation analysis and production is a wide topic that has been
addressed with specific objectives in disciplines such as didactics
and psychology, and in domains as diverse as law and legal reasoning,
politics and news editorials production, human resource management,
etc. Some forms of empirical analysis have emerged from these areas,
often under the form of schemas that characterize certain forms of
explanations and their expected role.

Some useful work has been carried out so far on formal aspects: mental
and conceptual models, semantics and pragmatics of explanation, but
less work on AI and related language technology (lexicon, grammar, and
semantics) aspects. Besides the need of formal developments,
computer-based explanation production is now becoming a crucial
component of a number of application areas, as, for example,
cooperative question-answering, involving language processing and
reasoning, where most responses provided by a system need to be paired
with explanations on how the response has been found and on how it
responds to the question. Lets us also cite computer-based didactic
systems where the transmission of a certain knowledge or know-how
needs to be paired with quite sophisticated forms of explanations. In
most contexts, these explanations must be generated dynamically: they
cannot be defined a priori via a few simple forms. On a more abstract
register, explanation analysis is crucial in a number of situations,
such as opinion analysis from news editorials or political speeches,
where the relevance and quality of the explanations will heavily
influence the opinions of listeners. Finally, procedures (maintenance,
social life, DIY, etc.) are a rich source for explanation analysis and
production.

Recent foundational, methodological and technological developments in
knowledge representation, in pragmatics (user models and profiling,
intentions modelling, etc.), in reasoning (e.g. argumentation,
decision theory, etc.), in advanced language processing, including
semantic and discourse analysis, and recent progress in Human Language
Technology, make it possible to foresee the elaboration of much more
accurate, cooperative and robust systems dedicated to explanation
analysis and production. These can be essentially language-based (via
online texts or web pages, operating either on open or closed domains)
or they can incorporate multimedia aspects. The user interface aspects
(input, output (e.g. SMS or advanced interfaces), on line help,
dialogue, etc.) are also crucial in the definition of such
systems. This leads us to also welcome contributions that involve
multi-media aspects.

The workshop addresses both empirical and formal models of
explanation. It includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

Linguistic and conceptual aspects

- Rhetorical structures that support or contribute to explanation
  production and structure (elaborations, reformulations, examples,
  warnings, hints, various forms of arguments, etc.) and their
  structure and semantic and pragmatic role,

- Illocutionary force identification, persuasion effects,

- The language (lexical, grammatical) of explanation, language
  connectors, metaphors in explanation,

- Analysis of surface forms of explanation: textual, iconic,
  typography, graphics, images, multimodality,

- Characterization of explanation patterns (e.g. sequences of
  rhetorical structures) and their communicative role.,

- Specific problems, such as e.g. paraphrase and explanation,

- Cognitive aspects: perception of explanations by readers,
  implicature,

- Philosophical aspects and Ethics of explanation.  Annotation
  techniques and guidelines

- Guidelines for annotating explanation segments: what to annotate,
  and how,

- Annotator training aspects,

- Corpus development and validation: parameters to consider, various
  forms of corpora, tools for corpus collection, analysis and
  validation technologies.

Language processing aspects :

- Identification of explanation structures: by what means, lexical and
  grammar resources required, processing strategies,

- Resource and portability issues: the lexicon of explanation, domain
  related grammatical structures,

- Semantic representation, declarative and ‘operational’ semantics of
  connectors and rhetorical operators

- Specific linguistic aspects, such as: explanation and paraphrasing.
  Artificial intelligence aspects

- The logic of explanation,

- Models for explanations,

- Explanation-based systems, explanation in expert systems,

- Implicature, textual entailment, logic of assumptions and
  presuppositions,

- Related knowledge representation aspects, analysis of the required
  domain knowledge.

Explanation production, natural language generation issues

- Planning issues, e.g. w.r.t. explanation goals,

- Implementation of pragmatic aspects such as cooperativity,

- Lexical choice, sentence planning, taking into account of the user
  profile,

- Architecture of systems that support explanation generation
  Applicative domains, Man-Machine Communication, multimedia

- Analysis of explanation structures per domain, analysis of their
  role, their perception by users, specificities of certain domains
  and audiences

- Experiences from applications, e.g. as in: didactics (of science, of
  second language acquisition, etc., ); procedures and procedural
  knowledge; law; public debates, news and editorials; business;
  philosophy, etc.

- Explanation and its underlying effects: persuasion, emotions,

- Granularity of explanations, focusing, zooming in/out, user
  interactions and explanation management

- Multimedia aspects of explanation: e.g. pairing videos with textual
explanations.

Evaluation techniques and methods

- Identification of features to evaluate: technology aspects, user
  interaction and interpretation aspects, protocol definition and
  relevance measures,

- Engineering aspects: portability, re-usability, robustness,
  development costs and resources, interoperability, risk analysis,

- Explanation and economical models.

The workshop will be organized around a few major questions of
interest to a number of AI, NLP, linguistics, HLT, psychology and
pragmatics people.  Practitioners of explanation in various areas such
as didactics, opinion analysis, experimental psychology, ethics, are
encouraged to participate.  Application developers are also most
welcome.

Submission
The goal of this workshop is to enhance cross-discipline interactions.
Contributors must be opened to interactions with the different
workshop areas. The programme committee will care to have a balanced
number of participants from the different areas concerned.

Paper will go under peer review, as for most conferences.

To encourage an atmosphere appropriate for a workshop, we plan to:

    - have a 15mn discussion at the end of each session,

    - have a panel and an invited speaker, possibly plan a tentative
      roadmap definition,

    - plan demos on portable machines.

Submission format:

We welcome short papers (max 3 pages), describing projects or ongoing
research and long papers (max. 6 pages), that relate more established
results. Papers describing applications are encouraged, besides
theoretical contributions. Papers must be sent in .pdf format. The
format to use for papers and abstracts is the same as for ECAI. The
title page (no separate title page is needed) should include the
following information:

-	Title
-	Authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses
-	Topic(s) of the above list, as appropriate
-	Abstract (short summary up to 5 lines)

Papers must be sent to both co-organizers at the email addresses given
below.  Deadlines:

May 7th 2010: paper submission
June 7th: acceptance/rejection notification
June 25th: reception of final paper

All accepted papers (long and short) will be published in the workshop
proceedings.

Il reste quelques places :
http://www.porphyre.org/toth/toth-2010/formations/inscription

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

A partir de 2010, les conférences seront précédées d’une journée de
formation (mercredi 2 juin). Le thème de cette année portera sur les
apports mutuels de la terminologie et de l’ontologie.

Date : mercredi 2 juin 2010.
Lieu : Annecy
Polytech’Savoie - 5 chemin de Bellevue - 74940 Annecy-le-Vieux
La formation a lieu le jour précédent la conférence TOTh 2010 (3 et 4
juin), sur le même site que la conférence.


OBJECTIFS :

Nous utilisons de plus en plus des applications de traitement de
l’information qui requièrent une opérationnalisation des terminologies
: moteurs de recherche sémantiques, traduction, bibliothèques
numériques spécialisées, gestion des connaissances, systèmes
d’information, catalogues électroniques, dictionnaires métiers, etc.
Les activités mêmes de terminographie et de terminologie, dans
l’identification des termes et la construction du système conceptuel,
réclament une telle approche.

Si l’informatique, par le traitement automatique des corpus,
intervient déjà en terminologie pour l’extraction de termes candidats,
elle joue un rôle de plus en plus important pour la modélisation des
concepts sur laquelle s’appuie la terminologie. En effet,
l’opérationnalisation des terminologies nécessite une représentation
consensuelle, partageable, réutilisable, cohérente et computationnelle
(informatique) de la conceptualisation, c’est-à-dire une
représentation qui s’appuie également sur des définitions formelles et
non plus uniquement sur des définitions en langue naturelle.

Dans ce cadre, les ontologies, issues de l’ingénierie des
connaissances, constituent une des voies les plus prometteuses pour la
représentation informatique du système conceptuel. Elles partagent
avec la terminologie certains principes. Ainsi, la signification des
termes repose sur une conceptualisation partagée et consensuelle d'un
domaine de spécialité.

Cette formation a pour objectifs d’étudier les rapports
qu’entretiennent les dimensions linguistique et conceptuelle de la
terminologie avec l’ontologie. Après un rappel de l’importance du
concept en terminologie, nous présenterons les ontologies issues de
l’ingénierie des connaissances. Nous verrons ensuite comment intégrer
les ontologies dans une démarche terminologique et les conséquences
méthodologiques et pratiques d’une telle démarche. L'accent sera enfin
mis sur les relations entre les concepts et les termes qui les
dénotent en distinguant les spécifications logiques des définitions
linguistiques.

PROGRAMME :

La formation se déroule sur une journée, organisée de la façon
suivante : Introduction

La formation débutera par la présentation de deux applications
industrielles afin d’illustrer l’intérêt et l’importance de
l'opérationnalisation des terminologies.
Terminologie

Tout n’est pas technique dans les discours spécialisés. Ce qui l’est,
ce sont des objets (concrets ou abstraits) auxquels sont reconnues des
propriétés constantes au sein d’une communauté identifiable par un
domaine (comme la mécanique auto) et/ou par un milieu de travail
(comme tel garage). Les termes sont les noms donnés par les
professionnels aux objets techniques, la terminologie est l’étude des
termes ainsi compris.

- fondements théoriques
- importance du concept en terminologie
- modélisation des systèmes conceptuels
Ontologie

Qu’est-ce qu’une ontologie ? A quoi peut-elle servir ? Quelle forme
peut-elle prendre ? Comment la définit-on ? Avec quels langages,
quelles méthodes ? Quels sont ses rapports avec la terminologie ?
Qu’en est-il d’une éventuelle dimension linguistique ? Autant de
questions auxquelles cette partie apportera des éléments de réponse et
qui amèneront à la notion d'ontoterminologie.

- définition(s), fondements théoriques et exemples
- méthodes et environnements de développement
 Mise en œuvre et exemples

Une ontologie n’est pas une terminologie. Il reste à voir comment
intégrer les apports mutuels de l'ontologie et de la terminologie en
un paradigme cohérent, celui d’ontoterminologie, qui sera illustré par
des exemples de mise en œuvre industriels.  - une méthode outillée -
exemples d’application : dictionnaire métier, cartographie
documentaire.

Les participants à la formation auront accès à des logiciels de
définition d’ontologies et de fiches terminologiques ainsi qu’à des
applications industrielles reposant sur la notion d’ontoterminologie.

INTERVENANTS :

Christophe Roche

Issu de l’intelligence artificielle, Christophe Roche, Professeur à
l’Université de Savoie, travaille sur les ontologies depuis 1991. Il
s’intéresse plus particulièrement à l’utilisation des ontologies pour
la représentation des systèmes notionnels. Ses travaux ont abouti à la
notion d’ontoterminologie basée sur la séparation des systèmes
linguistique et conceptuel, ainsi qu’à une méthode outillée de
construction de terminologies "formelles".  Marie Calberg-Challot

Linguiste, Terminologue, Marie Calberg-Challot est chercheur associé à
l’équipe Condillac. Ses domaines de recherche portent sur les langues
de spécialité et plus particulièrement sur l'interface entre la langue

=======================================
Appel à Communications

Atelier "Evolution d'ontologies"

http://www.irit.fr/evolution2010

Nîmes - 8 juin 2010
Associé à IC 2010
Nouvelle date limite de soumission : 30 avril 2010
=========================================

** Problématique **

Les ontologies sont souvent considérées comme des représentations
stables puisque consensuelles. Or leur utilisation dans des
applications les place dans des contextes dynamiques, dans lesquels
évoluent les connaissances et les terminologies des domaines, les
besoins des utilisateurs ou encore les collections documentaires, les
ressources à exploiter dans les applications, etc.

L'objectif de cet atelier est de rendre compte des recherches et
résultats actuels relatifs à la question de l'évolution des ontologies
dans leur contexte d'utilisation. Étroitement liée au mode de
conception de l'ontologie, l'évolution se heurte aux mêmes obstacles :

* difficulté à identifier les connaissances à modifier pour que
  l'ontologie réponde au mieux à un besoin particulier,

* difficultés à modifier la structure de l'ontologie,

* difficulté à évaluer l'impact et la pertinence d'une modification
  sur la structure conceptuelle,

* difficultés à prendre en compte l'impact des modifications sur les
  applications utilisant l'ontologie, par exemple quand elle utilisée
  pour l'annotation sémantique

La maintenance peut être facilitée si l'ontologie a été documentée, et
surtout si les choix de modélisation sont explicitement notés dans
l'ontologie. Dans le cas d'ontologies construites à partir de textes
ou utilisées pour l'annotation sémantique de textes, outre la facilité
d'enrichissement de l'ontologie que permettent les logiciels d'analyse
de textes, la possibilité de revenir aux textes sources constitue une
aide à l'interprétation et donc à l'évolution. D'autres approches
abordent cette question sous son angle « syntaxique », et tirent
profit des modes de représentation des connaissances. Ainsi, sont
étudiés les problèmes de gestion de cohérence et de maintien de la
validité lors de l'ajout ou du retrait de concepts et
relations. D'autres travaux s'appuient sur la structure des
ontologies, l'analyse de textes ou la réutilisation d'ontologies ou de
ressources terminologiques pour constater la nécessité de les mettre à
jour. Des techniques initialement définies pour comparer deux
ontologies sont aussi adaptées pour mesurer l'adéquation d'une
ontologie à un nouveau corpus ou à de nouveaux besoins. Enfin,
plusieurs travaux ont cherché à typer et caractériser les
modifications de sens au sein des ontologies afin d'outiller leur mise
en place.

Il s'agit là d'axes de recherche au sein de projets européens comme
Knowledge Web, SEKT ou NeOn. Au niveau international, cette
problématique est au centre des ateliers IWOD et correspond aux
thématiques de l'appel à papier du numéro spécial du Journal of Web
Semantics sur Semantic Web Dynamics.

** Sujet des articles **

Les articles soumis à l'atelier pourront traiter d'évolution
d'ontologies au sens large, ainsi que des thèmes liés comme la gestion
de versions, la révision, l'enrichissement d'ontologies. Il pourra
s'agir de travaux de recherche (présentation de méthodes, d'outils
oude résultats théoriques) ou de travaux plus appliqués tels que des
études de cas. En particulier, nous mentionnons les thèmes suivants
(entre autres) :

* repérer des causes d'évolution, détecter des changements
      o apport de l'analyse de ressources externes
      o apport du traitement automatique de langues et de la fouille
        de textes
      o apport de l'analyse des logs et des interactions avec un
        utilisateur
      o adaptation lors de la réutilisation, intégration ou fusion
        d'ontologies

* décrire la nature des changements, typologies ou ontologies de
  changement

* décrire des solutions pour mettre en place et implémenter des
  processus évolutions

      o utilisation de règles, de patrons,
      o apports des systèmes multi-agents
      o passage à l'échelle des processus d'évolution

* proposer une gestion des évolutions assurant un lien avec les
  artéfacts utilisant les ontologies, gérer les conséquences et
  répercussion des changements

      o critères pour évaluer la "qualité" ou l'adéquation d'une
        ontologie (avant / après modification)
      o méthodes ou techniques pour assurer la cohérence entre une
        ontologie et ses utilisations
      o lien avec la recherche d'information, les annotations
        sémantiques, les web services

* aide à la gestion de version, aide à la gestion coopérative
  d'ontologies

** Calendrier **

      * Nouvelle date limite de soumission : 30 avril (date ferme)
      * Notification aux auteurs : 14 mai
      * Version définitive : 22 mai 2010

** Consignes aux auteurs **

Les papiers devront faire entre 6 et 10 pages. Les contributions
doivent être soumises en format pdf et être conformes aux modèles de
documents proposés dans le cadre d'IC 2010. Les formats word et latex
sont téléchargeables :

      *     word

*/Next Generation Search Engines: Advanced Models for Information
Retrieval/*

A book edited by Dr. Christophe Jouis (1, 3), Prof. Ismaïl Biskri (2),
Prof. Jean-Gabriel Ganascia (1) and CNRS Research director Magali Roux
(1, 4)* *

To be published by IGI Global: 
http://old.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=820

*Introduction*

Scientific and economic organizations are confronted with handling an
abundance of strategic information in their domain activities. One
main challenge is to be able to find the right information quickly. In
order to do so, organizations must master information access: getting
relevant query results that are organized, sorted, and actionable.

Recent technological progress in computer science, Web technologies,
and the constantly evolving information available on the Internet has
drastically changed the landscape of search and access to information.
Current search engines employ advanced techniques involving machine
learning, social networks and semantic analysis.

*Objectives of the Book*

The main goal of this book is to transfer the new research results
from the fields of advanced computer sciences and information science
in order to master the access to information. The readers will be able
to have a better idea of the results in applied research. The
achievement of relevant, organized, sorted and workable answers -- to
name but a few -- from a search is become a daily need for the
enterprises and organizations, and, to a greater extent, for
anyone. It does not consist of accessing to structural information
like in standard databases only; neither it does consist of searching
information strictly by the mean of a combination of key words. It
goes far beyond that. The information sought must be able to be
identified by the topics covered by it, that is to say its textual,
audio, video or graphical content. This is not a new issue. However,
recent technological advances have totally changed the used
techniques. The new Web technologies, the emergence of Intranet
systems and the abundance of information on the Internet have created
the need for efficient search and information access tools.

*Target Audience*

This book is intended for scientists and decision-makers who wish to
gain working knowledge about search in order to evaluate available
solutions and to dialogue with software and data providers. It also
targets intranet or Web server designers, developers and
administrators who wish to understand how to integrate search
technology in their applications according to their needs. This book
is further designed for database, groupware applications and document
management systems (EDM) designers, developers and administrators, as
well as libraries or documentation centres directors who seek a deeper
understanding of the tools they use, and how to set up new information
systems. Lastly, this book aims all professionals in technology or
competitive intelligence and, more generally, the specialists of the
information market.

*Recommended topics include, but /are not limited to/, the following:*//

. Semantic Web

More and more content producers, as a result of the W3C
recommendations on the semantic Web, index their databases with
metadata or taxonomies (ontologies), in order to allow the search
engines to adapt to the semantic analyzers. Currently many algorithms
are being developed for semantic information research systems that do
not impose hit-or-miss keyword searcher on the user.

. Generation of large-scale search engine index

. Video, audio and graphics indexing

. Query user interface: Controlled natural languages, natural language
  query, multilingual search, etc.

. Index Data Structures: Suffix tree, tree, Inverted index, Ngram index, 
  Term document matrix, etc.

. Multi-sources and multi-formats indexation: Most recent search
  engines can index many different information sources, such as:

- FTP servers,

- files systems,

- Web pages,

- DBMS such as Oracles, Sybase, DB2, SQL Server and others.

- Document-oriented databases such as Lotus Notes.

- Desktop applications files such as Microsoft Office suite (Word,
  PowerPoint),

RTF format, ...

- Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF)

- PostScript (PS)

- LaTex

- The UseNet archive (NNTP) and other deprecated bulletin board
  formats

- XML and derivatives like RSS

- SGML (this is more of a general protocol)

. Emergence of new axis in the Next Generation of Search Engines

- Real-time search,

- Local search,

- GPS sensitive search,

- Mobile search,

- Search in the Cloud,

- Search using Hadoop,

- Map reduce, etc.

· Life Sciences Applications: A special section will be dedicated to
  recent developments for life sciences. As the volume of research
  digital data increases exponentially, searching information and
  documents, as well as links to data sources is becoming a main
  issue. Exemplary realizations that made it possible to unlock
  technological and scientific bolts will be presented.


  Submission Procedure

Final Announcement and Call for Papers
    ** Deadline extended to 5/7 **
***************************************

10th International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents
IVA 2010

20-22 September 2010

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

http://iva2010.org


Intelligent virtual agents (IVAs) are interactive characters that
exhibit human-like qualities and communicate with humans or with each
other using natural human modalities such as behavior, gesture and
speech.  IVAs are capable of real-time perception, cognition and
action that allow them to participate in a dynamic social environment.

IVA-2010 is an interdisciplinary annual conference and the main forum
for presenting research on modeling, developing and evaluating
intelligent virtual agents with a focus on communicative abilities and
social behavior.  The conference encourages a spectrum of
presentations from theoretical issues to working applications.
Research on human-human and human-robot interaction adapted to
intelligent embodied agents is also welcome.


Special topic for 2010: Virtual Human Communities

IVA-2010 particularly encourages submissions on this year’s special
topics of virtual human communities.  IVA achievements to date lead
naturally to studies involving the formation, simulation and
understanding of ever widening social, cultural and cognitive
interactions among humans and virtual humans.  Computer graphics
techniques now permit the visual simulation of large collections of
individual agents, offering real-time visualization platforms for
expanding social units to families, co-worker teams, building
inhabitants and even an entire virtual populace.  Mobile interactive
devices and emergent human interests in real-time social networking
provide some additional economic incentives and a growing industry
presence.  This special topic also builds on the special theme of IVA
09, games, in that participants in virtual environments will need to
interact not just with the space or with individual IVAs, but perhaps
with a community of IVAs in order to achieve desired situations or
goal states.  IVA 2010 offers the opportunity for further
interdisciplinary cross-fertilization between the IVA and virtual
populace simulation fields.

Keynote Speakers (see iva2010.org for details)

* Paul Debevec - Associate Director, Graphics Research, ICT, USC;
  Research Associate Professor, ICT, USC

* Ruben Gur, Ph. D.- Professor of Psychology, University of
  Pennsylvania; Director of the Brain Behavior Laboratory; "The
  Neurobiology of Emotion Processing by Humans and Computers"

* Lee Sheldon - Anti-Linear Logic; Assistant Professor, Department of
  Telecommunications, Indiana University; "Virtual Agents in the

GALA (Gathering of Animated Lifelike Agents)
at IVA 2010, September 20-22, 2010, Philadelphia
http://iva2010.org/gala
Call for Participation

--

GALA IN A NUTSHELL:
-------------------

GALA is an annual festival to showcase the latest Animated Lifelike
Agents created by university students

and academic or industrial research groups. GALA was launched in
2005. GALA provides:

- The GALA Final event, to demonstrate the state-of-the-art in the
  technology of virtual humans.

- The GALA Jury Award for student projects and the GALA Public Award
  for any entry.

- The permanent GALA Gallery on the web with the best entries
  exhibited for further study.

- The possibility of an optional short paper (2 pages) publication in
  the proceedings of the annual 


IVA conference, published by Springer.


An international jury will select entries for the GALA Gallery, to be
presented live at the GALA Final. An award will be presented to the
best entry.  GALA is the major event for demonstrating your
interactive virtual humans, exploiting techniques in real- time
graphics, animation, multi-modal interaction, agents, emotion
modelling, dialog management and related areas. The quality and
interactive capabilities of the animated lifelike agent are to be
presented in a short movie (see Submission details). GALA is different
from and complementary to scientific conferences where demonstrations
are at most illustrations of talks, often not included in proceedings
and thus hard to reproduce. GALA specifically encourages university
students at all levels to submit their work prepared in a shorter
time, preferably as a project related to their university curriculum,
unlike the output of larger-scale research presented at conferences.

PARTICIPANTS TRACKS:
--------------------

1. Student 

Students from any university, individually or as a group, may submit
in this track. For each student submission a supervisor should be
named, who can be contacted should the jury want to clarify some
issues concerning originality of the work or status of the
authors. The works submitted in this track must be prepared within a
year prior to submission, preferably as a student project related to a
university curriculum. However, animated lifelike agents created in
the context of a larger research project or industrial application are
welcome too, as well as ones made on their developer's own initiative,
i.e.  without any background context. In the first case, the
contribution of the student to the project as well as the earlier
results built upon should be specifically emphasized.
  
2. Other 

In this track work from academic institutions and industry, as well as
from multi-party national or international projects, is welcome.

All submissions are candidates for the short list of entries, to be
presented at the final show and to be included in the
repository. Submission categories and formal requirements (see below)
are identical for both tracks.
 
SUBMISSION CATEGORIES:
----------------------

1. Novel Interaction

The animated lifelike agent should interact with the user, but in a
way that does not use a keyboard or mouse.  A simple example is to use
a video camera or a microphone, but more novel interactions may came
from using other input methods, such as wii motes, mobile phone or
Microsoft’s new project Natal.  In any case the novelty of the
interaction is key.

2. Animated Lifelike Agent Application

The animated lifelike agent is developed for an application. The movie
shows the animated lifelike agent in the application context. The
points of interest are novelty of application, smoothness of
interaction, appeal, general design, consistency, etc.

3. Animated Lifelike Agent Creation

In this category, a special feature (e.g. lip-sync, body design,
facial animation, hand gesturing) of the animated lifelike agent is to
be presented. The points of interest are modules or tools used to
create certain aspects of animated lifelike agents, in an easy way and
convincing quality.

In the last two categories, the embodiment (head/full body,
realistic/cartoon-like), the cast of role (e.g.  information provider
for the user, actor in interactive drama, educator, chatbot) and the
media (e.g. Virtual reality, PC, palmtop, mobile phone) are
open. Novel application domains, designs and media are encouraged. The
only restriction is that the animated lifelike agent must have
reactive and/or interactive capabilities, as opposed to virtual
characters animated for a single purpose (e.g. CG animation for a
film, direct usage of Motion Capture). Physical robots are not
eligible for GALA.

SUBMISSION FORMAT:
------------------

The animated lifelike agent is to be described (with the possibility
of inclusion in the IVA2010 proceedings), followed by a (.flv) movie
(to be shown at the GALA Final) of 2-4 minutes, in the first round.
The international jury will invite the entries for the second round,
to be demonstrated at the GALA Final in public, as well as a high
quality version of the video for the GALA presentation.

The submission deadlines are:
14th May 2010 - GALA short paper deadline.
1st  June 2010 - GALA flash video submission deadline.

                           Call for papers


Knowledge processing has always been an important part of NLP and
HLT. This area (knowledge engineering) is directly related to
artificial intelligence and cognitive sciences, but also concerns
expertise processing, formatting know-how, interpersonal skills,
marketing, commercial and industrial technologies,and knowledge
industry issues in all its forms.

Compared to raw text or text databases, knowledge is generally defined
as extracted, selected, compared, evaluated, structured, organized,
usable, transferable and possibly marketable information in a given
field.  Many proposals of concepts and tools have been made for
extracting, structuring knowledge, such as ontology building for
instance.
 
The 2010 Bulag subject is in keeping with this theme :

      NLP and the new issues of knowledge expression on the Web.

Focusing on the development of knowledge with the Internet: blogs,
chats, e-mails, online encyclopaedias, wikis, e-marketing, e-learning,
e-politics, what new forms of knowledge are found? 

How can we extract information from texts, images, animations and
process the data? With what tools? For what purpose? That is to say,
what new industrial applications can we expect? 


Some suggestions have been proposed: 

- use of lexical resources, technical terminology databases. 

- use of structured knowledge systems: frames, scripts, semantic
  networks, conceptual networks to understand technical texts or
  newspapers for question answering. 

- use of knowledge architectures relying upon natural language
  processing, as well as resources and NLP tools available in robotics
  or industrial ontologies.

The systems must integrate web communication and common sense
processing ...

It remains to be seen what areas, what NLP tools, what types of
treatments are concerned, what tools should be modified or created.

ESSLLI 2010 / UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN / DENMARK / AUGUST 9-20, 2010

The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI)
is organized every year by the Association for Logic, Language and
Information (FoLLI) in different sites around Europe. The main focus
of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics, logic and
computation. ESSLLI offers foundational, introductory and advanced
courses, as well as workshops, covering a wide variety of topics
within the three areas of interest: Language and Computation, Language
and Logic, and Logic and Computation.

Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting up to
500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into
an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and
researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic,
Language and Information. During two weeks, around 50 courses and 10
workshops are offered to the attendants, each of 1.5 hours per day
during a five days week, with up to seven parallel sessions. ESSLLI
also includes a student session (papers and posters by students only,

       THREE MARIE CURIE POSITIONS for Early Stage Researchers
          in Computational Linguistics & Language Technology

                  Application deadline: May 15, 2010
              Envisaged starting date: September 1, 2010

The Department of Computational and General Linguistics at T?bingen
University is inviting applications for three Marie Curie Early Stage
Researchers for a period of 24 months.

The positions involve participation in the EU Marie Curie Initial
Training Network CLARA (Common Language Resources and their
Applications), receiving funding from European Commission's 7th
Framework Programme (http://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/,
http://clara.uib.no). Applicants cannot be German citizens, except if
the applicants have legally resided and had their main activity in a
non?associated third country for at least three of the last four years
immediately prior to this employment. Further, applicants must not
have resided or performed their main activity in Germany more than 12
months in the 3 year period immediately prior to the start date of the
scholarship. For a full list of mobility criteria, see
ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/fp7/docs/fp7-mga-annex3intramulti_en.pdf

The specific positions involve participation in the CLARA subprojects
Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Learning,Treebanks and Finite
State Techniques.

INTELLIGENT COMPUTER-ASSISTED LANGUAGE LEARNING (ICALL): This two year
position involves participation in the project "Connecting ICALL
Research and Development to Foreign Language Teaching Needs". The
project researches how effective use of NLP for Intelligent Language
Tutoring Systems (ILTS) can be informed by Second Language Acquisition
research and Foreign Language Teaching practice. On the theoretical
side, this includes a broad spectrum of research directions which can
be explored, while on the practical side we envisage integration of
the results into a UIMA-based ILTS architecture (cf., e.g.,
http://purl.org/dm/papers/amaral-meurers-ziai-10.html).

TREEBANKS: This two year position involves participation in the
project "Linguistic Analysis for Treebank Annotation". The overall aim
of this subproject is to specify a common core of syntactic and
semantic features for a range of languages (Czech, English, German,
Slovak, and others). Different annotation schemes will be tested and
validated by performing annotation of texts for these languages,
providing as the final product annotated corpora (treebanks) for both
linguistic research and statistical language learning, as well as
creating NLP tools (i.e. tools for automatic syntactic and semantic
analysis).

FINITE-STATE TECHNIQUES: This two year position involves participation
in the project "Finite-state Parsing Methods".  Methods using
finite-state transducers (FSTs) have proven to be a general framework
for describing morphological and phrase level processing of natural
languages and provide a technically uniform development and
implementation platform.  The aim of this project is to deepen
understanding of these methods and develop new applications for NLP
tasks such as shallow parsing and information extraction.  One of the
directions to be investigated is to combine rule-base models and
probabilistic methods through the use of weighted FSTs.

The CLARA network offers an intensive research exchange programme
between 16 participating institutions. While staying with the host
institution for most of the time, the programme allows for a shorter
stay at a second academic or industrial partner institution
(secondment). The successful candidate will be expected to partake
actively in training activities organised by CLARA. This includes
summer schools, seminars and courses organised locally and at other
network institutions.

The salary of an Early Stage Researcher is set in accordance with the
regulations of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network within the
European Commission's 7th Framework Programme (see
ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/fp7/docs/fp7-mga-annex3intramulti_en.pdf),
the German labor laws and T?bingen University regulations. The maximum
salary under these regulations is EUR 29,000 per year (subject to
state taxation, social and health insurance and social fund
deductions) plus a monthly mobility allowance of 508 Euro (for single
persons) or 812 Euro (for families) as well as a taxable travel
allowance of 1,400 Euro per year and a one-time career exploratory
allowance of 2000 Euro. Additional, non-salaried, non-taxable
contributions toward moving and travel to CLARA events and conferences
are available from CLARA funds.

For further information about the positions, please contact
Prof. Dr. Erhard Hinrichs (eh at sfs.uni-tuebingen.de) or
Prof. Dr. Detmar Meurers (dm at sfs.uni-tuebingen.de). 

For administrative or practical information, such as the level of
living expenses in T?bingen, please contact Mrs. Cornelia Stoll
(cornelia.stoll at uni-tuebingen.de). Information about the Department of
Computational and General Linguistics can be found on the web at
http://www.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/

Quoi:
L?analyse syntaxique des textes tout-venant se heurte r?guli?rement ?
quelques cas complexes pour lesquels il est indispensable d?avoir une
analyse fine et compl?te des phrases en syntaxe et en
s?mantique. C?est le cas des constructions causatives et factitives,
des constructions ? verbes supports, des coordonn?es, corr?latives et
comparatives, des ph?nom?nes d?ellipse, et de bien d?autres encore.

Ces constructions sont r?guli?rement n?glig?s des syst?mes robustes et
fournissent des r?sultats rarement corrects dans les traitements
automatiques de documents.

Nous pouvons constater que les techniques du Data Mining se passent le
plus souvent de l'analyse fine du contenu textuel des documents pour
n?exploiter que les informations de m?ta-donn?es. Nous observons que
les techniques d?analyse robuste en TAL se passent ?galement des
analyses fines pour ne retenir qu?une analyse en surface (Chunking,
Shallow-parsing). Mais ces technologies ont ?t? choisies ? d?faut de
savoir-faire en mati?re d?analyse robuste et fine des textes, tant du
point de vue des techniques d?analyse que des formalisations
linguistiques n?cessaires.

Bien que certains de ces outils commencent ? ?tre d?velopp?s, pour
l'anglais notamment (dans le r?cent ouvrage de Johan Bos et ses
coll?gues), il n'y a pour le moment pas d'?quivalent pour la langue
fran?aise. C'est le but de ce projet de recherche de rem?dier ? cela
en d?veloppant une analyse syntaxique capable de traiter correctement
les constructions fr?quentes, mais complexes en syntaxe et en
s?mantique.

Nous voudrions que l??tude soit men?e dans un cadre de linguistique
formelle issue d?un mod?le r?cent comme les ? grammaires d?unification
? (par exemple comme LFG ou HPSG, ou les grammaires cat?gorielles
d?unification), les grammaires de propri?t?s, etc. L?analyse
syntaxique et s?mantique des textes se fera en prenant le contre-pied
de l??tude habituelle stochastique et de surface, sans toutefois
renoncer ? une ?tude d?extraction de corpus ou bas?e en partie sur des
donn?es statistiques par exemple.

Quelques cas de ph?nom?nes linguistiques seront choisis pour leur
int?r?t th?orique et seront appliqu?s ? l?analyse syntaxique et
s?mantique de textes fran?ais issus de gros corpus de textes ?crits.

La description linguistique de ces ph?nom?nes se fera par une ?tude
critique de l??tat de l?art et sera appliqu?e de fa?on exp?rimentale
gr?ce ? l?un des outils d?analyse syntaxique fine propos?s par la
communaut? (SXLFG, XLFG5, XLE, LKB, GRAIL, etc).




#########################
Title: Syntactic and Semantic analysis from French texts.
Position type: Post-doctoral Fellow
Functional area: Bordeaux (Talence)
Research theme: Perception, cognition, interaction
Project: SIGNES

When parsing real-world text, we frequently encounter phenomena
requiring a detailed and complete analyses; both from a syntactic and
a semantic point of view. Examples of these constructions are
coordination, ellipsis, comparatives, light verb constructions,
causatives, and many others.

In the context of robust parsing, these phenomena are frequently
ignored and therefore rarely analyzed correctly. In Data Mining,
linguistic analysis - if it is performed at all - is mostly limited to
low-level analysis like chunking or partial parsing, but this choice
is mostly due to a lack of the expertise and the tools required to
perform a deeper text analysis.

Though some of these tools are currently starting to be developed for
English, notably in the recent work of Johan Bos and his colleagues,
there is at the moment no equivalent for the French language. It is
the goal of this research project to remedy this by providing a
wide-coverage parsing capable of correctly handling frequent but
complex syntactic construction correctly both from a syntactic and a
semantic point of view.

  Missions In contrast to the more widely used "shallow" methods used
  in statistical natural language processing, the post-doc candidate
  will use a modern theory in computational linguistics (such as LFG,
  HPSH, categorial grammar or property grammars) and a modern theory
  in computational semantics (such as DRT, generative lexicon, lambda
  calculus) to give a deep analysis of modern French text and to
  produce a semantically and syntactically sound analysis of some of
  the linguistic phenomena cited above.

The researcher will study the current state-of-the-art to compare,
evaluate and improve existing solutions and will implement his
analysis experimentally using (and where necessary, extending) one of
the systems for detailed syntactic analysis proposed by the community
(SXLFG, XLFG5, XLE, LKB, Grail, etc)

Finally, the candidate will make a critical evaluation of his proposed
to solutions, both from a syntactic and a semantic point of view,
based on a study of the performance on cases found in corpora of
written French.

The successful candidate must be familiar with parsing techniques,
with constraint-based grammar formalisms such as LFG, HPSG, categorial
grammars. A keen interest in natural language syntax and/or natural
language semantics is required.
Applicants will have received a PhD in linguistics, or natural
language processing.
Knowledge of French is highly desirable.

Workshop on Computational Approaches to Synonymy
at the Symposium on Re-Thinking Synonymy, Helsinki, 28-30 October 2010
http://www.linguistics.fi/synonymy/


Many problems and applications in computational linguistics and
natural language processing implicitly invoke, in various forms, the
concept of synonymy or identity of meaning.  In one way or another,
they involve either determining identity (or non-identity) of meaning
in different surface forms or creating different surface forms for a
single meaning.

For example, paraphrase recognition is an important component of the
more-general problem of recognizing textual entailment.  Textual
tailoring and personalization seeks to find the most effective
linguistic realization of a message for a particular user;
automatically simplifying texts and creating stylistic variations are
special cases of this.  Lexical choice in text generation tries to
find the best word for a given meaning and to discriminate it from
other words that are close in meaning but not synonymous in the
context.  Cross-lingual document retrieval and other cross-lingual
applications such as, in particular, machine translation conflate the
ideas of synonymy and translation equivalence.

But while there has been a large amount of research on computational
methods for determining degree of similarity in lexical meaning and
for recognizing paraphrase, little attention has been given to
theoretical considerations of synonymy.  Mostly, it is treated as a
boolean property (two words are or aren't in the same synset; two
sentences are or aren't mutual entailments) with little thought of any
theoretical underpinning.

On the other hand, the real-world linguistic problems that natural
language processing addresses provide useful test cases for linguistic
theories of synonymy, and the computational methods developed are de
facto theories of synonymy even if not intended as such.

This workshop will explore computational approaches to synonymy, with
an emphasis on explicating their implicit theoretical notions and
their implications for linguistic theory.  Papers are solicited on the
following topics:


**  Computational theories of lexical, phrasal, and sentential
    synonymy.
**  Principled methods of paraphrase recognition and generation.

                  Prague Stringology Conference 2010

              15th event of the Prague Stringology Club

                      http://www.stringology.org

                           Call for Papers

        Prague, Czech Republic, August 30 - September 1, 2010

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

PSC'10 is the 15th 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 Theoretical Computer Science at the Faculty of
Information Technology of 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 twenty
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. String processing extends into tree
processing that is called Arbology. 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:

  * To be announced



SUBMISSION:

Authors are cordially invited to submit their full papers (PDF format,
10-15 pages, A4 page format) by May 11, 2010. 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=psc2010).

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'10 was preceded by Prague Stringology Workshops in 1996-2000 and
by Prague Stringology Conferences in 2001-2006, 2008-2009. 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 & PUBLICATION:

PSC'10 will be held at the Department of Theoretical Computer Science
the Czech Technical University in Prague on August 30 - September 1,
2010. (The precise location will be announced later.) 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.

                         LAST CALL FOR PAPERS
                  **Submission Deadline: April 12**

   Workshop on Theories of Information Dynamics and Interaction and
                    their Application to Dialogue
                          TIDIAD at ESSLLI2010
               http://www.irit.fr/~Laure.Vieu/Esslli10

Workshop organized as part of the European Summer School on Logic,
Language and Information ESSLLI 2010 (http://esslli2010cph.info/)

           August 16-20 (ESSLLI 2nd week) 2010, Copenhagen



Workshop Purpose and Topics:
----------------------------

Theoretical approaches to communication and dialogue modeling are
varied and often unrelated because separately focusing on different
aspects of dialogue (speech acts, goals, beliefs, plans, questions,
conventions, roles, cooperation, disputes, argumentation, reference,
semantics-pragmatics interface...).
On the other hand, the area of foundations of multi-agent systems is
inducing new developments in logics of interaction and information
dynamics, with a recent trend towards comparison and integration.
Analyzing the impact of this trend on communication and dialogue
modeling is timely.

This workshop aims at discussing formal theories and logics of
information dynamics and interaction and their applications to
dialogue and communication modeling. It is intended to bring together
logicians, linguists and computer scientists in order to provide a
better understanding of the potentialities and limitations of formal
methods for the analysis of dialogue and communication. Its scope
includes not only the technical aspects of logics, but also
multidisciplinary aspects from linguistics, philosophy of language,
philosophy of social reality, social sciences (social psychology,
economics).

The following are some examples of formal theories and logics that are
relevant to the workshop (no order):

speech act theory,
argumentation theory,
game theory,
public announcement logic,
dynamic epistemic logic (DEL),
logics of agency and power (e.g. STIT, ATL, Coalition Logic),
theories of persuasion,
theories of commitment,
dynamic semantics,
semantic approaches to interrogative clauses,
rhetorical approaches to dialogue (e.g., Segmented Discourse
Representation Theory).


The focus of the workshop will be on recent developments, especially
those that combine several approaches (e.g. dynamic epistemic logic
and speech act theory, dynamic epistemic logic and segmented discourse
representation theory, public announcement logic and commitment
theories, STIT and dynamic epistemic logic, Coalition Logic and public
announcement logic...) to deal with complex dialogue and communication
phenomena.

Chers membres de la liste LN, 


Comme vous le savez, ATALA est une association de loi 1901 qui d?fend
et promeut le Traitement Automatique des Langues aussi bien au niveau
national qu'international.

La publication de la revue num?rique TAL, 
Les journ?es d'?tude de l'Atala avec acc?s gratuit, 
Les conf?rences annuelles TALN et RECITAL avec r?duction pour les
adh?rents,

La mise au point et la maintenance d'annuaires des formations en TAL,
des ?quipes de recherches, des outils, etc.,
La liste de diffusion LN et de discussion LN-Forum, 
 
sont autant d'activit?s men?es b?n?volement par les membres de
l'association.


Ces activit?s de diffusion scientifique sont toutefois co?teuses et
les rares subventions publiques ne suffisent pas ? tout financer. Nous
comptons donc sur l'esprit associatif des adh?rents et sur leurs
cotisations pour maintenir le dynamisme et la qualit? scientifique du
travail de l'association.


Nous vous rappelons le tarif des adh?sions pour l'ann?e 2010 :

~~ O? et quand un article de presse a-t-il ?t? ?crit ? ~~
 
Atelier d'?valuation en fouille de textes sur l'identification de la
p?riode et du lieu de publication d'articles de presse francophone
 
Date de l?atelier : 23 juillet 2010 (conjointement ? TALN 2010)
Lieu : Montr?al (Canada)
 
Site Internet : http://www.groupes.polymtl.ca/taln2010/deft.php
Contact : deft10 at limsi.fr
 
Cette campagne d'?valuation b?n?ficie du soutien de CEDROM-SNi,
du CNRTL et de ELDA.
 
********************************************************
 
DEFT2010, sixi?me ?dition de la campagne d'?valuation en fouille de
textes, portera sur les variations diachroniques et g?ographiques en
corpus de presse francophones. L'atelier de cl?ture se tiendra ?
Montr?al dans le cadre de la conf?rence TALN 2010.
 
Un locuteur francophone natif est capable de d?tecter dans une
conversation des expressions sp?cifiques ? un pays (par exemple au
niveau des nombres "septante" et "nonante" en Belgique et en Suisse
contre "soixante-dix et "quatre-vingt-dix" en France et au Qu?bec, et
"huitante" en Suisse vs.  "quatre-vingts" dans les trois autres pays).
 
Un lecteur est ?galement capable de mobiliser des connaissances
linguistiques, culturelles et historiques pour identifier la p?riode
(sur une ?chelle plus ou moins grande) de parution d'un article (en
identifiant un ?v?nement particulier et/ou des tournures linguistiques
ou des entit?s nomm?es jug?es repr?sentatives d'une p?riode donn?e).
 
Comme tout acte de communication, les documents ont une origine et un
public vis? ; leur nature, c'est-?-dire leurs contenu, niveaux de
langue, etc. en d?pend fortement. Dans cette ?dition du d?fi fouille
de textes, nous nous int?ressons ? l'origine des documents, plus
particuli?rement ? l'?poque et au lieu de leur cr?ation.
 
Dans ce cadre, nous proposons plusieurs pistes distinctes et
ind?pendantes.
 
* Piste 1.
Cette piste, relative ? la variation diachronique, concerne
l'identification de la d?cennie de publication d'extraits d'articles
fran?ais d'une taille de 300 mots. Les extraits de ce corpus couvrent
une p?riode comprise entre 1800 et 1944.
 
Le corpus d'apprentissage se composera d'extraits (300 mots)
d'articles de quatre titres de journaux diff?rents, le corpus de test
int?grera des extraits provenant de ces quatre m?mes titres plus un
cinqui?me titre absent du corpus d'apprentissage, de mani?re ?
?prouver la robustesse des syst?mes.
 
* Piste 2.
L'identification de l'origine g?ographique de chaque document (pays
d'origine) constituera la seconde piste de cette campagne. Elle
reposera sur des corpus de presse rassemblant plusieurs titres
provenant de France et du Qu?bec.
 
Pour ces deux pistes, les participants auront la possibilit?
d'utiliser des ressources externes (linguistiques, historiques, etc.)
qu'ils devront obligatoirement d?clarer lors de la soumission des
r?sultats. En ce qui concerne plus sp?cifiquement la piste 1, les
ressources provenant de Gallica ne seront pas autoris?es.
 
Nous invitons les participants ? participer aux deux pistes. Il est
cependant possible de ne participer qu'? une seule des pistes.
 
Des corpus d'apprentissage seront fournis aux participants inscrits, ?
partir du 26 f?vrier 2010. Ces corpus sont compos?s de 60% des corpus
d'origine. Les 40% de corpus restants seront utilis?s pour le test. Le
test aura lieu sur une fen?tre d'un mois, ? partir de la mi-mars.  ?
partir de la date qu'ils auront choisie dans cet intervalle, les
participants auront trois jours pour appliquer, sur les corpus de
test, les m?thodes mises au point sur les corpus d'apprentissage et
nous retourner leurs r?sultats d'analyse.

Dates importantes :
 
- Inscription : ? partir du 25 janvier 2010. Les ?quipes souhaitant

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

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

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

      *** ATTENTION CHANGEMENT D'HORAIRE ***

Le s?minaire aura lieu ce vendredi de 11.00 ? 13.00 en salle Orange 1
? l'antenne Inria Paris au 23 avenue d'Italie 75013 Paris

Toute personne int?ress?e est la bienvenue.

***********************************************************
Vendredi 9 avril,

Juliette Thuilier (Paris 7), Gwendoline Fox (Paris 3), Benoit Crabb?
(Paris 7)

nous parleront de : 

Alternance de position de l'adjectif ?pith?te en fran?ais

R?sum? : 

On pr?sentera dans un premier temps une analyse quantitative sur des
donn?es de syntaxe qui a pour but de pr?dire le ph?nom?ne d?alternance
de position de l?adjectif ?pith?te par rapport au nom en fran?ais. On
montre comment nous avons utilis? les corpus dont nous disposons
(French Treebank et le corpus de l?Est-R?publicain) ainsi que les
ressources issues du traitement automatique des langues pour favoriser
l'identification de facteurs g?n?raux permettant de pr?dire le
ph?nom?ne correctement. Nous insistons sur l?importance de contraintes
relevant de l?usage pour le choix de la position de l?adjectif,
notamment ? travers la fr?quence d?occurrence de l?adjectif, et la
fr?quence de contextes dans lesquels il appara?t. Une seconde partie
de l'expos?, plus exploratoire focalisera sur l'alternance de position
d'adjectifs sp?cifiques.  On aborde le probl?me par l'interm?diaire
d'une ?tude plus qualitative inspir?e de la m?thode
collostructionnelle et on verra que les adjectifs montrent une
certaine fixit? positionnelle ? l'usage. On verra en particulier que
certaines contraintes qui ont peu d'impact en toute g?n?ralit?
s'appliquent ? des items ou ? des constructions lexicales plus
sp?cifiques.

IT-fakultetsn?mnden.

*Sista ans?kningsdag:* 2010-04-27

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE,
http://www.chalmers.se/cse/EN/) at Chalmers University of Technology
and University of Gothenburg announces a position of Assistant
Professor with tenure track (Swedish "bitr?dande lektor") in the area
of Natural Language Technology (
http://www.cse.chalmers.se/research/group/Language-technology/). The
position is associated with the Centre of Language Technology (CLT,
http://www.clt.gu.se/), which is a focus area of research of the
University of Gothenburg, and affiliated at the CSE Department at the
University of Gothenburg.

Extent of employment

The position is for 4 years. Before the end of the 4-year period, the
position holder will be evaluated for a tenure as Associate Professor
("lektor"). A suggested start date for the position is September 2010,
but can be negotiated with the appointed candidate.

Requirements

The qualifications for the position include:

- PhD in computer science, computational linguistics, or related
  subject, in 2005 or later
- excellent research record in Natural Language Technology

Final Call for Papers

15th International Conference on Implementation and Application of
Automata

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, August 12-15, 2010

http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/ciaa2010

**********************************************
*** Extended submission deadline: April 23 ***
**********************************************

CIAA is the premier annual conference for researchers, application
developers and users of automata-based systems.  The applications of
the theory of automata, a foundational area of computer science, have
spread to almost all areas of computer science and many other
disciplines.

The CIAA series has published significant papers describing the
applications of finite automata in parsing and compilers, logic,
natural language processing, pattern matching, database management and
bioinformatics. The conference also accepts papers that advance the
state of the art in the theoretical study of finite automata, regular
expressions, grammars and related formal models.

A goal of the conference is to provide additions and enhancements to
existing software systems that manipulate automata, regular
expressions, grammars, and related structures; examples of such
systems include AGL, AMoRE, ASTL, Automate, FADELA, FAdo, FinITE, FIRE
Station, FSM, Grail+, INR, Intex, JFLAP, MERLin, MONA, TESTAS,
Turing's World, Vaucanson, WFSC and Whale Calf.

DCFS 2010 (August 8-10, Saskatoon), CIAA 2010 (August 12-15, Winnipeg)
and DLT 2010 (August 17-20, London, Ontario) are organized in Canada
one after another to allow attendance at all three conferences.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission Deadline: April 23, 2010 (extended)
Notification: May 15, 2010
Camera-ready Version: June 1, 2010
Conference Dates: August 12-15, 2010

SUBMISSIONS

Research papers are sought on all aspects of implementation,
application, and theory of automata and related structures.

                         LAST CALL FOR PAPERS
                **NEW Submission Deadline: April 19**

   Workshop on Theories of Information Dynamics and Interaction and
                    their Application to Dialogue
                          TIDIAD at ESSLLI2010
               http://www.irit.fr/~Laure.Vieu/Esslli10

Workshop organized as part of the European Summer School on Logic,
Language and Information ESSLLI 2010 (http://esslli2010cph.info/)

           August 16-20 (ESSLLI 2nd week) 2010, Copenhagen


*** DUE TO SOME REQUESTS, SUBMISSION DEADLINE POSTPONED OF ONE WEEK ***



Workshop Purpose and Topics:
----------------------------

Theoretical approaches to communication and dialogue modeling are
varied and often unrelated because separately focusing on different
aspects of dialogue (speech acts, goals, beliefs, plans, questions,
conventions, roles, cooperation, disputes, argumentation, reference,
semantics-pragmatics interface...).
On the other hand, the area of foundations of multi-agent systems is
inducing new developments in logics of interaction and information
dynamics, with a recent trend towards comparison and integration.
Analyzing the impact of this trend on communication and dialogue
modeling is timely.

This workshop aims at discussing formal theories and logics of
information dynamics and interaction and their applications to
dialogue and communication modeling. It is intended to bring together
logicians, linguists and computer scientists in order to provide a
better understanding of the potentialities and limitations of formal
methods for the analysis of dialogue and communication. Its scope
includes not only the technical aspects of logics, but also
multidisciplinary aspects from linguistics, philosophy of language,
philosophy of social reality, social sciences (social psychology,
economics).

The following are some examples of formal theories and logics that are
relevant to the workshop (no order):

speech act theory,
argumentation theory,
game theory,
public announcement logic,
dynamic epistemic logic (DEL),
logics of agency and power (e.g. STIT, ATL, Coalition Logic),
theories of persuasion,
theories of commitment,
dynamic semantics,
semantic approaches to interrogative clauses,
rhetorical approaches to dialogue (e.g., Segmented Discourse
Representation Theory).


The focus of the workshop will be on recent developments, especially
those that combine several approaches (e.g. dynamic epistemic logic
and speech act theory, dynamic epistemic logic and segmented discourse
representation theory, public announcement logic and commitment
theories, STIT and dynamic epistemic logic, Coalition Logic and public
announcement logic...) to deal with complex dialogue and communication
phenomena.

                               IC'2010
     21?mes Journ?es francophones d?Ing?nierie des Connaissances

                         N?mes 8-11 Juin 2010
                   http://www.ic2010.mines-ales.fr/
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Les 21?mes Journ?es francophones d'Ing?nierie des Connaissances se
tiendront ? N?mes du 8 au 11 Juin dans les locaux de l'Ecole des Mines
d'Al?s.  Organis?e chaque ann?e depuis 1997 sous l'?gide du Gracq
(Groupe de Recherche en Acquisition des Connaissances), la conf?rence
IC constitue un lieu d??changes et de r?flexions de la communaut?
francophone sur les probl?matiques de l?ing?nierie des connaissances.

L?essor des Sciences et Technologies de l?Information et de la
Communication, notamment des technologies du Web, dans l?ensemble de
la soci?t? engendre des mutations dans les pratiques individuelles et
collectives.

L?ing?nierie des connaissances contribue ? cette ?volution, en offrant
des m?thodes pour l??laboration de mod?les de connaissances ? des fins
d?op?rationnalisation.  Ces mod?les rel?vent de diff?rentes
cat?gories. Ils d?crivent par exemple les connaissances m?tiers, les
processus cognitifs associ?s au raisonnement et les processus
collaboratifs.  Des m?thodes et des syst?mes sont ?galement con?us
pour la gestion des connaissances au sens large (acquisition,
structuration, repr?sentation, exploitation, exploration,
visualisation et diffusion).

Les auteurs sont invit?s ? soumettre des propositions de posters et de
d?monstrations en rapport avec les th?mes de la conf?rence IC.



Posters
Sont concern?s des travaux en cours ou au stade de r?sultats partiels
de recherches ou appliqu?s.
Ce type de soumission correspond ? des travaux innovants de qualit?,
mais dont la maturit? ne permet pas des ?laborations compl?tes et des
conclusions d?finitives.  Les auteurs sont invit?s ? soumettre des
propositions d'articles de 6 pages maximum en indiquant sur la
premi?re page qu'il s'agit d'une soumission de type "Poster".



D?monstrations

Une ou plusieurs s?ances de d?monstrations seront organis?es pour
permettre aux ?quipes de pr?senter leurs d?veloppements (maquettes,
prototypes, outils finalis?s, mais aussi applications industrielles et
op?rationnelles).
Les propositions de d?monstrations peuvent ?tre directement li?es ?
une communication (recherche ou appliqu?e) ou faire l'objet de
propositions d'articles de 3 pages maximum mentionnant sur la premi?re
page qu'il s'agit d'une soumission de type "D?monstration".  Les
d?monstrations pourront ?tre mises en ligne aux formats wmv ou encore
avi.



Format
Les textes associ?s aux d?monstrations et aux posters devront
respecter les mod?les de documents propos?s de la
conf?rence. (http://www.ic2010.mines-ales.fr/ rubrique Soumission).
Les auteurs sont invit?s ? d?poser leurs contributions au format PDF
en ligne http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ic2010

Ils feront l'objet d'un volume tir? ? part et d'une cl? USB qui seront
distribu?s aux participants de la conf?rence.

                    Second appel ? communications

          Atelier Web S?mantique M?dical, N?mes 8 Juin 2010

            http://www-limbio.smbh.univ-paris13.fr/wsm10/

en conjonction avec les 21?mes Journ?es francophones d?Ing?nierie des
Connaissances

                   http://www.ic2010.mines-ales.fr/

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

Aujourd'hui, le probl?me crucial qui est pos? est celui du partage et
d'un acc?s ?intelligent? ? l'information m?dicale disponible.

Les ontologies et les terminologies prennent de plus en plus
d'importance.  Elles fournissent un vocabulaire commun ainsi qu'une
description de la signification des termes d'un domaine et des
relations qu'ils entretiennent qui est exploitable de mani?re
informatique.  Elles jouent un r?le majeur pour la nouvelle g?n?ration
du World Wide Web aussi appel? Web S?mantique car elles sont
indispensables pour d?crire le contenu des ressources du Web et
faciliter leur exploitation.

Ainsi par exemple, la Systematised Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical
Terms (SNOMED CT) est utile aussi bien pour les dossiers ?lectroniques
o? elle r?duit les possibilit?s de mauvaise interpr?tation des
donn?es, que pour la recherche d'information. D'autres exemples
d'ontologies sont le Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA), le National
Cancer Institute (NCI) Thesaurus, Gene Ontology et OBO Foundry ? un
entrep?t contenant plus de 80 ontologies biom?dicales.

Les technologies, langages, outils et standards du Web S?mantique
(RDF, OWL, SPARQL...etc.) jouent ?galement aujourd'hui un r?le de
toute premi?re place pour les applications m?dicales.

L'objectif de cet atelier est de dresser un ?tat des lieux en faisant
le point sur les avanc?es scientifiques et les projets r?alis?s
r?cemment en France dans le domaine biom?dical, la derni?re journ?e
Web S?mantique M?dical ayant eu lieu en 2004 ? Rouen.

Il vise notamment ? rassembler des utilisateurs, d?veloppeurs, et
chercheurs tant universitaires qu'industriels pour d?crire et partager
leur exp?rience autour d'applications bas?es sur des technologies du
Web S?mantique.



Les discussions pourront ?tre organis?es autour des th?matiques (non
exhaustives) suivantes :

  * Terminologies et ontologies du domaine m?dical. Formalismes de
    repr?sentation. Apport de la s?mantique.

  * M?ta-donn?es et annotations pour la recherche d'information. Types
    de m?ta-donn?es. M?ta- donn?es bas?es sur des ontologies. Outils
    d'aide ? l'annotation.

  * Langages de requ?tes, langages de r?gles bas?s ontologie, fouille
    de donn?es et leurs apports.

  * Int?gration de donn?es multi-sources, entrep?ts de donn?es
    biom?dicales sur le Web, alignement/mise en correspondance
    d'ontologies et de terminologies.

  * Applications biom?dicales des technologies Web S?mantique au
    dossier patient, ? la g?nomique et autres "iques", l'imagerie
    m?dicale, sites grand public, recherche biom?dicale,
    enseignement,..etc.


Les chercheurs travaillant sur la th?matique g?n?rale du Web
S?mantique M?dical sont invit?s ? soumettre des articles de 10 pages
maximum (figures et r?f?rences incluses) au format **pdf** conforme
aux mod?les de document d'IC (disponibles sur le site)

Les contributions devront ?tre envoy?es par courriel jusqu'au 20/04 ?

Argumentaire

Comme dans les autres domaines de la linguistique, l?informatisation
des moyens d?analyse a profond?ment chang? les objectifs et les
m?thodes de la veille n?ologique.
Les observatoires de n?ologie disposent ainsi aujourd?hui, pour
l?exploration de vastes corpus num?riques, d?outils performants
d?identification et de classement des n?ologismes, ainsi que
d??tablissement de leur entr?e dans l?usage.
Cependant ces avanc?es technologiques ont essentiellement b?n?fici? au
rep?rage de la n?ologie formelle, tandis que la n?ologie s?mantique
continue, ? bien des ?gards, de d?fier la d?tection
semi-automatis?e. Comment ce d?fi est-il relev? aujourd?hui, avec
quelles m?thodes et par quelles approches ?
Entre autres th?mes possibles, ces journ?es d??tude invitent ainsi ?
faire le point, ? ?changer et ? d?battre sur :

- Les solutions techniques et logicielles existantes et les projets
  envisag?s, en particulier concernant l?analyse des cooccurrents et
  l??tiquetage s?mantique des ressources lexicales ;

- La constitution des corpus en vue de l??tude de n?ologismes
  s?mantiques : par exemple ? propos de l?int?gration des traditions
  discursives (les genres, en particulier) pour l??tude de la
  nouveaut? lexicale, ou encore par rapport ? la ?p?riodisation? des
  corpus, concernant les phases et les rythmes d?usualisation des
  n?ologismes ;

- La diversit? des proc?d?s n?ologiques, sa prise en compte, son
  traitement : des proc?d?s connus de cr?ation n?ologique (m?taphore,
  m?tonymie, restriction ? extension de sens) aux proc?d?s oubli?s
  (paradoxe, euph?misme, antiphrase, etc.) ;

- Les th?ories s?mantiques qui fondent les m?thodes : leurs apports
  sp?cifiques au probl?me de la n?ologie, les difficult?s de leur
  application, et ce qu?exigent encore ces th?ories de la d?tection
  automatis?e.


Les contributions pourront choisir d?exposer la m?thodologie d?une
approche particuli?re, de pr?senter les pr?suppos?s et les r?sultats
d?une ?tude de cas, et/ou d?argumenter un point de vue critique,
notamment en soulignant les difficult?s actuelles et les pistes de
recherche possibles.

=======================================
Appel ? Communications

Atelier "Evolution d'ontologies"

http://www.irit.fr/evolution2010

N?mes - 8 juin 2010
Associ? ? IC 2010
Date limite de soumission : 23 avril 2010
=========================================

** Probl?matique **

Les ontologies sont souvent consid?r?es comme des repr?sentations
stables puisque consensuelles. Or leur utilisation dans des
applications les place dans des contextes dynamiques, dans lesquels
?voluent les connaissances et les terminologies des domaines, les
besoins des utilisateurs ou encore les collections documentaires, les
ressources ? exploiter dans les applications, etc.

L'objectif de cet atelier est de rendre compte des recherches et
r?sultats actuels relatifs ? la question de l'?volution des ontologies
dans leur contexte d'utilisation. ?troitement li?e au mode de
conception de l'ontologie, l'?volution se heurte aux m?mes obstacles :

      * difficult? ? identifier les connaissances ? modifier pour que
        l'ontologie r?ponde au mieux ? un besoin particulier,
      * difficult?s ? modifier la structure de l'ontologie,
      * difficult? ? ?valuer l'impact et la pertinence d'une
        modification sur la structure conceptuelle,
      * difficult?s ? prendre en compte l'impact des modifications sur
        les applications utilisant l'ontologie, par exemple quand elle
        utilis?e pour l'annotation s?mantique

La maintenance peut ?tre facilit?e si l'ontologie a ?t? document?e, et
surtout si les choix de mod?lisation sont explicitement not?s dans
l'ontologie. Dans le cas d'ontologies construites ? partir de textes
ou utilis?es pour l'annotation s?mantique de textes, outre la facilit?
d'enrichissement de l'ontologie que permettent les logiciels d'analyse
de textes, la possibilit? de revenir aux textes sources constitue une
aide ? l'interpr?tation et donc ? l'?volution. D'autres approches
abordent cette question sous son angle ? syntaxique ?, et tirent
profit des modes de repr?sentation des connaissances. Ainsi, sont
?tudi?s les probl?mes de gestion de coh?rence et de maintien de la
validit? lors de l'ajout ou du retrait de concepts et
relations. D'autres travaux s'appuient sur la structure des
ontologies, l'analyse de textes ou la r?utilisation d'ontologies ou de
ressources terminologiques pour constater la n?cessit? de les mettre ?
jour. Des techniques initialement d?finies pour comparer deux
ontologies sont aussi adapt?es pour mesurer l'ad?quation d'une
ontologie ? un nouveau corpus ou ? de nouveaux besoins. Enfin,
plusieurs travaux ont cherch? ? typer et caract?riser les
modifications de sens au sein des ontologies afin d'outiller leur mise
en place.

Il s'agit l? d'axes de recherche au sein de projets europ?ens comme
Knowledge Web, SEKT ou NeOn. Au niveau international, cette
probl?matique est au centre des ateliers IWOD et correspond aux
th?matiques de l'appel ? papier du num?ro sp?cial du Journal of Web
Semantics sur Semantic Web Dynamics.

** Sujet des articles **

Les articles soumis ? l'atelier pourront traiter d'?volution
d'ontologies au sens large, ainsi que des th?mes li?s comme la gestion
de versions, la r?vision, l'enrichissement d'ontologies. Il pourra
s'agir de travaux de recherche (pr?sentation de m?thodes, d'outils
oude r?sultats th?oriques) ou de travaux plus appliqu?s tels que des
?tudes de cas. En particulier, nous mentionnons les th?mes suivants
(entre autres) :

      * rep?rer des causes d'?volution, d?tecter des changements
            o  apport de l'analyse de ressources externes
            o apport du traitement automatique de langues et de la
              fouille de textes
            o apport de l'analyse des logs et des interactions avec un
              utilisateur
            o adaptation lors de la r?utilisation, int?gration ou
              fusion d'ontologies

      * d?crire la nature des changements, typologies ou ontologies de
        changement

      * d?crire des solutions pour mettre en place et impl?menter des
        processus ?volutions
            o utilisation de r?gles, de patrons,
            o apports des syst?mes multi-agents
            o passage ? l'?chelle des processus d'?volution

      * proposer une gestion des ?volutions assurant un lien avec les
        art?facts utilisant les ontologies, g?rer les cons?quences et
        r?percussion des changements

            o crit?res pour ?valuer la "qualit?" ou l'ad?quation d'une
              ontologie (avant / apr?s modification)
            o m?thodes ou techniques pour assurer la coh?rence entre
              une ontologie et ses utilisations
            o lien avec la recherche d'information, les annotations
              s?mantiques, les web services

      * aide ? la gestion de version, aide ? la gestion coop?rative
        d'ontologies

First Call for Papers and Participation
Young Researchers' Roundtable on Spoken Dialogue Systems 2010
22nd-23rd September, at Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan

*Overview and goals*
The Young Researchers' Roundtable on Spoken Dialogue Systems (YRRSDS)
is an annual workshop designed for post-graduate students, post-docs
and junior researchers working in research related to spoken dialogue
systems in both academia and industry. The roundtable provides an open
forum where participants can discuss their research interests, current
work and future plans. The workshop has three main goals:

- to offer an interdisciplinary forum for creative thinking about
  current issues in spoken dialogue systems research

- to provide young researchers with career advice from senior
  researchers and professionals from both academic and industrial
  backgrounds

- to develop a stronger international network of young researchers
  working in the field.

(Important note: There is no age restriction for participating in the
workshop; the word 'young' is meant to indicate that it is targeted
towards researchers who are at a relatively early stage in their
career.)

*Topics and sessions*
Potential Roundtable discussion topics could include:
- Links between dialog and cognition
- Role of affect in dialog
- Face-to-face dialog involves the embodiment of messages
- Dialog systems as a testbed for theories of dialog
- Turn-taking versus continuous interaction
- Context and spoken dialog systems
- Models of dialog: Statistical dialog modeling vs. symbolic dialog
  modeling (rule-based, plan-based, agent-based)
- Dialog management: Domain/task/strategy switching in multi-purpose
- Combination of chatting/information seeking/task-oriented dialog
  management, Self-evolutionary dialog management, Multiparty dialog
- Building truly incremental SDS
- Models for learning and reasoning beyond the confines of a single
  interaction
- Objectivity and SDS evaluation, Shared evaluation and data
  collection campaigns
- Dialog data collection, Sharing data sets and formats for
  statistical models

Previous workshops were held in London (INTERSPEECH 2009), Columbus
(ACL 2008), Antwerp (INTERSPEECH 2007), Pittsburgh (INTERSPEECH 2006)
and Lisbon (INTERSPEECH 2005).

YRRSDS'10 will feature:
- a senior researcher panel (both academia and industry)
- a demo and poster session
- a special session on robots and spoken dialog systems

*Workshop date*
YRRSDS'10 will take place on September 22nd and 23rd, 2010
(before SIGDial 2010, Interspeech and IWSDS 2010).

*Workshop location*
The 2010 YRRSDS will be held at Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan,
one of the Japan's leading research-focused higher education
institutions.
Waseda University is founded in 1882, and since then
it has been one of Japan's top private,
co-educational institutions of higher learning.

*Grants*
YRRSDS 2010 will be supported this year by ISCA, the International
Speech Communication Association. ISCA will consider applications for
a limited number of travel grants. Applications should be send
directly to grants at isca-speech.org, details of the application process
and forms are available from http://www.isca-speech.org/grants.html.

    23rd European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
			     ESSLLI 2011
			  August 1-12, 2011
			 Ljubljana, Slovenia
		Call for Course and Workshop Proposals
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI)
is organized every year by the Association for Logic, Language and
Information (FoLLI, http://www.folli.org/) in different sites around
Europe.  The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between
linguistics, logic and computer science.  ESSLLI offers foundational,
introductory and advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a
wide variety of topics within or around the three main areas of
interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and
Computation.  Previous summer schools have been highly successful,
attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere.  The school
has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion
for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study
of Logic, Language and Information.  For more information, visit the
FoLLI website, as well as the ESSLLI 2010 website:
http://esslli2010cph.info/.


CALL FOR COURSE AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The ESSLLI 2011 Program Committee invites proposals for foundational,
introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 23rd
annual Summer School on important topics of active research in the
broad interdisciplinary area connecting logic, linguistics, computer
science and the cognitive sciences.

All proposals should be submitted, using a prescribed form that will
be available soon on the ESSLLI 2011 website, no later than:

June 14, 2010

Authors of proposals will be notified of the committee's decision by
September 15, 2010.


GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION

Proposers of courses and workshops should follow the guidelines below
while preparing their submissions; proposals that do not conform with
these guidelines may not be considered.

Courses are taught by 1 or max. 2 lecturers, and workshops are
organized by 1 or max. 2 organizers.  Lecturers and organizers must
have obtained a Ph.D. or an equivalent degree at the time of the
submission deadline.  Courses and workshops run over one week
(Monday-Friday) and consist of five 90-minute sessions.  Lecturers who
want to offer a long, two-week course should submit two independent
one-week courses (for example, an introductory course in the first
week and an advance course in the second).  The ESSLLI program
committee has the right to select only one of the two proposed
courses.


FOUNDATIONAL COURSES

These are strictly elementary courses not assuming any background
knowledge.  They are intended for people who wish to get acquainted
with the problems and techniques of areas new to them.  Ideally, they
should allow researchers from other fields to acquire the key
competencies of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the
development of a truly interdisciplinary research community.
Foundational courses should have no special prerequisites, but may
presuppose some experience with scientific methods and general
appreciation of the field of the course.


INTRODUCTORY COURSES

Introductory courses are central to the activities of the Summer
School.  They are intended to provide an introduction to the
(interdisciplinary) field for students, young researchers, and other
non-specialists, and to equip them with a good understanding of the
field's basic methods and techniques.  Such courses should enable
experienced researchers from other fields to acquire the key
competencies of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the
development of a truly interdisciplinary research community.
Introductory courses in a topic at the interface of two fields can
build on some knowledge of the component fields; e.g., an introductory
course in computational linguistics should address an audience which
is familiar with the basics of linguistics and computation.  Proposals
for introductory courses should indicate the level of the course as
compared to standard texts in the area (if available).


ADVANCED COURSES

Advanced courses should be pitched at an audience of advanced Masters
or Ph.D. students.  Proposals for advanced courses should specify the
prerequisites in detail.


TIMETABLE FOR COURSE PROPOSAL SUBMISSION:
Jun 14, 2010: Proposal Submission Deadline
Sep 15, 2010: Notification Deadline
Jun  1, 2011: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready course material by
the ESSLLI 2011 local organizers


WORKSHOPS

The aim of the workshops is to provide a forum for advanced Ph.D.
students and other researchers to present and discuss their work.
Workshops should have a well-defined theme, and workshop organizers
should be specialists in the theme of the workshop.  The proposals for
workshops should justify the choice of topic, give an estimate of the
number of attendants and expected submissions, and provide a list of
at least 15 potential submitters working in the field of the workshop.
The organizers are required to give a general introduction to the
theme during the first session of the workshop.  They are also
responsible for various organizational matters, including soliciting
submissions, reviewing, drawing up the program, taking care of
expenses of invited speakers, etc.  In particular, each workshop
organizer will be responsible for sending out a Call for Papers for
the workshop and to organize the selection of the submissions by the
deadlines specified below.  The call for workshop submissions must
make it clear that the workshop is open to all members of the ESSLLI
community and should indicate that all workshop contributors must
register for the Summer School.

TIMETABLE FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS:
Jun 14, 2010: Proposal Submission Deadline
Sep 15, 2010: Notification Deadline
Oct 15, 2010: Deadline for submission of the Calls for Papers to
              ESSLLI 2011 PC chair
Nov  1, 2010: Workshop organizers send out First Call for Papers

determined by the Local Organizers.


FORMAT FOR PROPOSALS

A form for submitting course and workshop proposals will be available
soon on the ESSLLI 2011 web site: http://esslli2011.ijs.si/.

The proposers are required to submit the following information:

* Contact address and fax number
* Name, email, affiliation, homepage of each lecturer / workshop
  organizer (at most two per course or workshop)
* Title of proposed course/workshop
* Abstract (abstract of the proposal, max 150 words)
* Type (workshop, foundational, introductory, or advanced course)
* Areas (one or more of: Computation, Language, Logic, or Other)
* Description (describe the proposed contents of the course and
  substantiate timeliness and relevance to ESSLLI in at most one A4
  page)
* Tentative outline of the course / expected participation in the
  workshop
* External funding (whether the proposers will be able to obtain
  external funding for travel and accommodation expenses)
* Further particulars (e.g., course prerequisites, previous teaching
  experiences, etc.)


FINANCIAL ASPECTS

Prospective lecturers and workshop organizers should be aware that all
teaching and organizing at the summer schools is done on a voluntary
basis in order to keep the participants' fees as low as possible.
Lecturers and organizers are not paid for their contribution, but are
reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses (up to fixed maximum
amounts, which will be communicated to the lecturers upon
notification).  Lecturers and workshop organizers will have their
registration fee waived.  In case a course or workshop is to be
taught/organized by two people, a lump sum will be reimbursed to cover
travel and accommodation expenses for one of them; the splitting of
the sum is up to the lecturers/organizers.  It should be stressed that
while proposals from all over the world are welcomed, the School
cannot guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs, especially from
destinations outside Europe.

The local organizers would highly appreciate it if, whenever possible,
lecturers and workshop organizers find alternative funding to cover
travel and accommodation expenses, as that would help us keep the cost
of attending ESSLLI 2011 lower.

*/Next Generation Search Engines: Advanced Models for Information
Retrieval/*

A book edited by Dr. Christophe Jouis (1, 3), Prof. Isma?l Biskri (2),
Prof. Jean-Gabriel Ganascia (1) and CNRS Research director Magali Roux
(1, 4)* *

*Introduction*

Scientific and economic organizations are confronted with handling an
abundance of strategic information in their domain activities. One
main challenge is to be able to find the right information quickly. In
order to do so, organizations must master information access: getting
relevant query results that are organized, sorted, and actionable.

Recent technological progress in computer science, Web technologies,
and the constantly evolving information available on the Internet has
drastically changed the landscape of search and access to information.
Current search engines employ advanced techniques involving machine
learning, social networks and semantic analysis.

*Objectives of the Book*

The main goal of this book is to transfer the new research results
from the fields of advanced computer sciences and information science
in order to master the access to information. The readers will be able
to have a better idea of the results in applied research. The
achievement of relevant, organized, sorted and workable answers -- to
name but a few -- from a search is become a daily need for the
enterprises and organizations, and, to a greater extent, for
anyone. It does not consist of accessing to structural information
like in standard databases only; neither it does consist of searching
information strictly by the mean of a combination of key words. It
goes far beyond that. The information sought must be able to be
identified by the topics covered by it, that is to say its textual,
audio, video or graphical content. This is not a new issue. However,
recent technological advances have totally changed the used
techniques. The new Web technologies, the emergence of Intranet
systems and the abundance of information on the Internet have created
the need for efficient search and information access tools.

*Target Audience*

This book is intended for scientists and decision-makers who wish to
gain working knowledge about search in order to evaluate available
solutions and to dialogue with software and data providers. It also
targets intranet or Web server designers, developers and
administrators who wish to understand how to integrate search
technology in their applications according to their needs. This book
is further designed for database, groupware applications and document
management systems (EDM) designers, developers and administrators, as
well as libraries or documentation centres directors who seek a deeper
understanding of the tools they use, and how to set up new information
systems. Lastly, this book aims all professionals in technology or
competitive intelligence and, more generally, the specialists of the
information market.

*Recommended topics include, but /are not limited to/, the
 following:*//

. Semantic Web

More and more content producers, as a result of the W3C
recommendations on the semantic Web, index their databases with
metadata or taxonomies (ontologies), in order to allow the search
engines to adapt to the semantic analyzers. Currently many algorithms
are being developed for semantic information research systems that do
not impose hit-or-miss keyword searcher on the user.

. Generation of large-scale search engine index

. Video, audio and graphics indexing

. Query user interface: Controlled natural languages, natural language
  query, multilingual search, etc.

. Index Data Structures: Suffix tree, tree, Inverted index, Ngram
  index, Term document matrix, etc.

. Multi-sources and multi-formats indexation: Most recent search
  engines can index many different information sources, such as:

- FTP servers,

- files systems,

- Web pages,

- DBMS such as Oracles, Sybase, DB2, SQL Server and others.

- Document-oriented databases such as Lotus Notes.

- Desktop applications files such as Microsoft Office suite (Word,
  PowerPoint), RTF format, ...

- Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF)

- PostScript (PS)

- LaTex

- The UseNet archive (NNTP) and other deprecated bulletin board
  formats

- XML and derivatives like RSS

- SGML (this is more of a general protocol)

. Emergence of new axis in the Next Generation of Search Engines

- Real-time search,

- Local search,

- GPS sensitive search,

- Mobile search,

- Search in the Cloud,

- Search using Hadoop,

- Map reduce, etc.

? Life Sciences Applications: A special section will be dedicated to
recent developments for life sciences. As the volume of research
digital data increases exponentially, searching information and
documents, as well as links to data sources is becoming a main
issue. Exemplary realizations that made it possible to unlock
technological and scientific bolts will be presented.

*PROLONGATION DE LA DATE DE SOUMISSION DES PROPOSITIONS JUSQU?AU 30
 AVRIL:*

Colloque des doctorants et jeunes chercheurs : 2010

Coldoc 2010, organis? par le Laboratoire MoDyCo

Universit? Paris Ouest Nanterre ? La D?fense.

Merci de faire circuler cette information dans vos r?seaux respectifs.

 *Appel ? Communication*

L??dition 2010 de Coldoc, le colloque des doctorants et jeunes
chercheurs en Sciences du Langage de l?Universit? Paris Ouest Nanterre
La D?fense aura pour th?me :

*? La d?finition en sciences du Langage. ?*

Le Colloque international des jeunes chercheurs et des doctorants,
ColDoc, se donne pour objectif de s?interroger sur *la d?finition en
sciences du langage. ** La d?finition est souvent consid?r?e comme une
activit? linguistique naturelle, un acte de langage universellement
reconnu, qui partage avec les autres activit?s quotidiennes et
ordinaires sa pratique spontan?e dans le parler de tous les jours. Or
il s?agit peut-?tre d?un des domaines de recherche les moins exploit?s
? ce jour. *

Ce ph?nom?ne concerne toutes les langues, et tous les niveaux de
l?analyse linguistique. La d?finition est un moteur des jeux de
langage et un des moyens de clarification dans les malentendus et les
ruptures de compr?hension. Elle fait partie de notre bagage langagier
commun, mais aussi constitue un outil n?cessaire ? l?appr?hension
scientifique des ph?nom?nes linguistiques.  **

Ce vaste th?me de recherche peut s?exprimer dans un certain nombre de
questions et de pistes de r?flexion non exhaustives :


- Comment d?finir le concept de d?finition ?

- Qu?est ce qu?une d?finition pour un enfant qui apprend ? parler ?

- L?activit? d?finitoire concerne bien s?r le lexique et la
  s?mantique, mais dans quelle mesure le locuteur ordinaire peut-il,
  et de quelle mani?re, d?finir des faits concernant la syntaxe, la
  phonologie, la pragmatique, le discours et l?ensemble des sciences
  du langage ?

- Comment se d?veloppe et s?exerce, et ?volue l?activit? de d?finir
  chez l?enfant ? En quoi la capacit? d?finitoire d?pend-elle de la
  litt?racie ?

- En quoi les d?finitions scientifiques s??cartent-elles des
  d?finitions courantes par les locuteurs ordinaires de ph?nom?nes
  concernant la sociolinguistique, le bi- et plurilinguisme ?

- En quoi, inversement, les linguistes ont-ils besoin pour leurs
  vis?es scientifiques des d?finitions ordinaires concernant le
  langage et ses usages ?

- En quoi la d?finition d?une notion peut-elle constituer un enjeu
  pratique, id?ologique et scientifique ?

- Sur quoi s'appuie un locuteur pour d?finir quelque chose?

- Sur quoi s?appuie-t-on pour cr?er une d?finition pour une communaut? ?

- Est-il possible d'envisager une dynamique de la d?finition qui
  s'applique ? des unit?s ayant un statut non-permanent ou flou ?

- Comment les d?finitions peuvent-elles ?tre g?n?r?es automatiquement ?

- Qu?en est-il du pouvoir ?motif des mots, particuli?rement la
  capacit? pour un terme ? d??voquer ? d?autres termes ? Que font
  alors les lexicographes en d?finissant les mots ?


Coldoc 2010 incite les doctorants et jeunes chercheurs ? s?interroger
sur ces probl?matiques et ? nous envoyer leur proposition de
communication ? l?adresse suivante :

coldoc2010 at gmail.com

La proposition devra ?tre envoy?e en fichier attach? d?une page
minimum ? deux pages maximum comprenant :

- Le titre ;

- Le r?sum? ;

- Une bibliographie de 5 titres maximum ;

- 5 mots-cl?s.

*(Format Word ou OpenOffice, police 12, marge 2,5, interligne 1,5,
*justifi?)

Pr?ciser au d?but du fichier (au format .doc ou .odt) s?il s?agit
d?une proposition de communication ou d?un poster, et l?intituler :

*Titre_abr?g?_de_la_communication.doc ou .odt*

Nous vous remercions d?indiquer dans le corps du message votre nom,
votre adresse e-mail, le titre de la communication, l?Universit? et le
laboratoire de rattachement, le directeur de th?se et la date de
soutenance de th?se le cas ?ch?ant.

La dur?e des communications est fix?e ? 20 minutes, suivies d?une
discussion de 10 minutes. Les communications se feront en fran?ais ou
en anglais.

*** Proposition de th?se financ?e ***

Le laboratoire LaTTiCe-CNRS, en collaboration avec l'?quipe INRA-MIG,
propose une th?se financ?e sur 3 ans ? partir d'octobre 2010.

- Th?me de recherche

La recherche concerne le traitement automatique des langues (TAL). On
sait que les syst?mes de TAL ont besoin de ressources adapt?es aux
traitements vis?s ; des ressources existent pour la langue g?n?rale
mais le besoin de ressources sp?cialis?es est de plus en plus ?vident
au fur et ? mesure que des domaines sp?cialis?s sont
abord?s. L'analyse de textes journalistiques demande des ressources
tr?s diff?rentes de celles qui doivent ?tre mises en oeuvre pour
l'analyse de textes du domaine juridique ou m?dical.

Dans ce contexte, l'adaptation purement manuelle de ressources
langagi?res est difficilement envisageable tant la t?che est lourde,
co?teuse et fastidieuse. Les besoins applicatifs sont, quant ? eux,
changeants et ?volutifs. C'est pourquoi l'acquisition de ressources
langagi?res ? partir de corpus bruts est un domaine de recherche qui
s'est consid?rablement d?velopp? ces derni?res ann?es (voir
r?f?rences).


- Sujet de la th?se

La th?se s'inscrit dans le contexte d?crit supra : il s'agit
d'explorer des techniques d'acquisition de connaissances lexicales ?
partir de textes, ? des fins applicatives. L'analyse portera plus
particuli?rement sur le pr?dicat verbal car celui-ci jour un r?le
essentiel pour les applications de TAL (rep?rage d'?v?nements,
extraction d'information, etc.). On s'int?ressera par exemple ?
l'acquisition de cadres de sous-cat?gorisation et de restrictions de
s?lections afin de d?terminer des familles de verbes ayant un
comportement syntaxico-s?mantique proche.

L'analyse portera sur des textes de langue g?n?rale et sur des langues
de sp?cialit? (issus par exemple de la base de donn?es Medline). La
th?se pourra ?tre l'occasion d'?tudier les aspects contrastifs (d'une
langue ? l'autre, d'un domaine ? l'autre). L'accent sera ?galement mis
sur l'utilisabilit? des m?thodes d?velopp?es : au moins une partie de
l'?valuation portera sur la validation de l'approche et sur la mesure
de la qualit? des ressources produites pour une t?che donn?e. On
participera le cas ?ch?ant ? des campagnes d'?valuation pertinentes.

Les deux laboratoires partenaires (LaTTiCe-CNRS et INRA-MIG) ont d?j?
une bonne exp?rience sur le domaine. La th?se se d?roulera en outre
dans le cadre d'une collaboration internationale en cours sur le sujet
avec l'Universit? de Cambridge.


- Comp?tences demand?es

Les comp?tences demand?es pour cette th?se pluridisciplinaire sont
diverses. Les ?l?ments suivants seront ?valu?s en priorit? :

- comp?tences en traitement des langues et/ou en linguistique
- comp?tences en informatique (perl, java)
- connaissances des techniques d'apprentissage artificiel
- qualit? de la r?daction ?crite, notamment en anglais
- connaissance de l'anglais
- int?r?t pour les domaines de sp?cialit?, notamment la biologie

La th?se aura lieu au laboratoire LaTTiCe (? Montrouge) et au
laboratoire INRA-MIG (Jouy-en-Josas), en banlieue sud de Paris. La
r?partition du temps de travail entre les deux laboratoires sera
d?termin?e en fonction des besoins pour la th?se.


- Comment candidater ?

Envoyer d?s que possible (et en tout ?tat de cause avant le 30 avril)
un mail ? Thierry Poibeau (prenom.nom at ens.fr) et ? Claire Nedellec
(prenom.nom at jouy.inra.fr) en joignant un CV d?taill? et une lettre de
motivation. Joindre un lien vers le m?moire de Master ou tout autre
m?moire r?dig? r?cemment. Les entretiens et la s?lection auront lieu
d?but mai.

Information additionnelles : https://www2.cnrs.fr/DRH/doctorants-10/
(Attention : un avis sign? du directeur de Master est n?cessaire pour
le dossier final)

Le financement de la th?se est assur? pour moiti? par une allocation
CNRS et pour moiti? par le projet Quaero, dans lequel est impliqu?
l'?quipe MIG de l'INRA. Le montant de l'allocation est de 1757
euros/bruts par mois. Le lancement de la th?se est encore soumis ? la
signature d'un accord de partenariat entre le CNRS et l'INRA.

Le CEA LIST propose une allocation doctorale de recherche pour la
rentr?e universitaire 2010.

Le sujet de th?se porte sur l'utilisation de corpus parall?les ou
comparables pour la construction de ressources linguistiques
multilingues.

Description du sujet :

Les applications des corpus de textes parall?les ou comparables sont
diverses : constitution de dictionnaires et de listes terminologiques
bilingues pour la recherche d'information multilingue et la traduction
automatique, construction de m?moires de traduction, d?sambigu?sation
s?mantique, etc. Les techniques d'alignement constituent un pr?alable
? l'exploitation de ces corpus : qu'il s'agisse d'aligner au niveau
des paragraphes, des phrases ou d'apparier des unit?s lexicales, la
plupart des applications reposent sur la possibilit? d'extraire des
correspondances pr?cises entre les textes source et cible.

La compagne d'?valuation ARCADE II a montr? que l'alignement
phrastique ? partir de corpus parall?les est une t?che d?sormais bien
ma?tris?e pour les langues ? ?criture latine. En revanche,
l'appariement au niveau lexical demeure une op?ration complexe et les
r?sultats des aligneurs actuels, qui sont limit?s ? l'extraction de
mots simples ou de groupes nominaux, sont modestes. La raret? des
corpus align?s, en particulier dans des domaines de sp?cialit?,
conduit en outre ? orienter les recherches sur l'extraction de
lexiques bilingues vers l'utilisation de corpus comparables. Dans ce
cas, les travaux s'inscrivent g?n?ralement dans le cadre de la
s?mantique distributionnelle. Les meilleurs r?sultats d'alignement de
mots, que ce soit pour des corpus parall?les ou comparables, sont
obtenus en utilisant un dictionnaire ou un lexique bilingue
pr?-existant.

Dans la perspective d'automatiser le processus de construction de
dictionnaires multilingues ? partir de corpus de textes parall?les ou
comparables sp?cialis?s ou du domaine g?n?ral, le sujet de th?se
propos? a pour but l'exploration et l'exp?rimentation de nouvelles
approches pour l'alignement de mots simples et complexes, l'objectif
?tant l'am?lioration de la qualit? des r?sultats de l'alignement tout
en limitant la contrainte de l'existence au pr?alable du lexique
bilingue ou de sa couverture. La th?se examinera en particulier
l'int?r?t de la prise en compte des dimensions s?mantique et
th?matique dans l'exploitation de corpus comparables en s'appuyant sur
des processus automatiques de structuration th?matique de lexiques et
de d?couverte de sens de mots ? partir de corpus.

Environnement :

La th?se se fera au sein du CEA LIST ? Fontenay-aux-Roses dans le
Laboratoire Vision et Ing?nierie des Contenus (LVIC) sp?cialis? en
extraction automatique de m?ta-donn?es depuis les flux multim?dia et
en indexation et recherche d'information multim?dia et multilingue.

Conditions sur les candidatures :

- avoir moins de 26 ans
- avoir un dipl?me de Master Recherche ou ?quivalent en informatique


Exp?rience souhait?e :

- Comp?tences en traitement automatique de la langue et en statistique
  souhait?es

Modalit? de d?p?t de candidature :

Les candidatures (CV + Lettre de motivation + Lettres de
recommandation + Relev? de notes depuis le Bac) sont ? envoyer le plus
rapidement possible ? Nasredine Semmar (nasredine.semmar at cea.fr)

Cogalex-II, 2nd Workshop on Cognitive Aspects of the Lexicon (August
22, 2010)
pre-conference workshop of COLING 2010 (Beijing, China)

endorsed by the Special Interest Group on the Lexicon of the

Submission deadline: May 30, 2010

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

AIMS and TARGET AUDIENCE

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers involved in
the construction and application of electronic dictionaries to discuss
modifications of existing resources in line with the users' needs,
thereby fully exploiting the advantages of the digital form. Given the
breadth of the questions, we welcome reports on work from many
perspectives, including but not limited to: computational
lexicography, psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, language
learning and ergonomics.


MOTIVATION

Whenever we read a book, write a letter or launch a query on a search
engine, we always use words, the shorthand labels and concrete forms
of abstract notions (concepts, ideas and more or less well specified
thoughts). Yet, words are not only vehicles to express thoughts, they
are also means to conceive them. They are mediators between language
and thought, allowing us to move quickly from one idea to another,
refining, expanding or illustrating our possibly underspecified
thoughts. Only words have these unique capabilities, which is why they
are so important.

Obviously, a good dictionary should contain many entries and a lot of
information associated with each one of them. Yet, the quality of a
dictionary depends not only on coverage, but also on accessibility of
information. Access strategies vary with the task (text understanding
vs. text production) and the knowledge available at the moment of
consultation (word, concept, speech sounds). Unlike readers who look
for meanings, writers start from them, searching for the corresponding
words. While paper dictionaries are static, permitting only limited
strategies for accessing information, their electronic counterparts
promise dynamic, proactive search via multiple criteria (meaning,
sound, related words) and via diverse access routes. Navigation takes
place in a huge conceptual lexical space, and the results are
displayable in a multitude of forms (e.g. as trees, as lists, as
graphs, or sorted alphabetically, by topic, by frequency).

Many lexicographers work nowadays with huge digital corpora, using
language technology to build and to maintain the lexicon. But access
to the potential wealth of information in dictionaries remains limited
for the common user. Yet, the new possibilities of electronic media in
terms of comfort, speed and flexibility (multiple inputs, polyform
outputs) are enormous. Computational resources are not prone to the
same limitations as paperbound dictionaries. The latter were limited
in scope, being confined to a specific task (translation, synonyms,
...)  due to economical reasons, but this limitation is not justified
anymore.

Today we can perform all tasks via one single resource, which may
comprise a dictionary, a thesaurus and even more. The goal of this
workshop is to perform the groundwork for the next generation of
electronic dictionaries, that is, to study the possibility of
integrating the different resources, as well as to explore the
feasibility of taking the user's needs, knowledge and access
strategies into account.


TOPICS

For this workshop we invite papers including but not limited to the
following topics:

* Conceptual input of a dictionary user.
What is in the authors' minds when they are generating a message and
looking for a word? Do they start from partial definitions, i.e.
underspecified input (bag of words), conceptual primitives,
semantically related words, something akin to synsets, or something
completely different? What does it take to bridge the gap between this
input, incomplete as it may be, and the desired output (target word)?

* Organizing the lexicon and indexing words.
Concepts, words and multi-word expressions can be organized and
indexed in many ways, depending on the task and language type. For
example, in Indo-European languages words are traditionally organized
in alphabetical order, whereas in Chinese they are organized by
semantic radicals and stroke counts. The way words and multi-word
expressions are stored and organized affects indexing and
access. Since knowledge states (i.e. knowledge available when
initiating search) vary greatly and in unpredictable ways, indexing
must allow for multiple ways of navigation and access. Hence the
question: what organizational principles allow the greatest
flexibility for access?

* Access, navigation and search strategies based on various entry
types (modalities) and knowledge states.
Words are composed of meanings, forms and sounds. Hence, access should
be possible via any of these components: via meanings (bag of words),
via forms, simple or compound ('hot, dog' vs. 'hot-dog'), and via
sounds (syllables). Access should even be possible if input is given
in an incomplete, imprecise or degraded form. Furthermore, to allow
for natural and efficient access, we need to take the users' knowledge
into account (search space reduction) and provide adequate
navigational tools, metaphorically speaking, a map and a compass. How
do existing tools address these needs, and what could be done to go
further?

* NLP applications:
Contributors can also demonstrate how such enhanced dictionaries, once
embedded in existing NLP applications, can boost performance and help
solve lexical and textual-entailment problems, such as those evaluated
in SEMEVAL 2007, or, more generally, generation problems encountered
in the context of summarization, question-answering, interactive
paraphrasing or translation.

Please include a one-paragraph abstract of the work (about 200 words).
While the paper length may differ, the format will be the same as the
one of the main conference. Hence we suggest that you get hold of the
adequate style sheets (LATEX or MS Word) which can be found
here:http://www.coling-2010.org/SubmissionGuideline.htm.

Submission will be electronic (PDF format only) via the START 
conference management software 
(https://www.softconf.com/coling2010/COGALEX2010/).

Double submission policy: Authors may submit the same paper at several
meetings, but a paper published at this workshop cannot be published
elsewhere. In case of double submission, you must notify the workshop
organizers in a separate e-mail, so we know that the paper might be
withdrawn depending on the results elsewhere.


RELATED CONFERENCES in BEIJING

Next to COLING 2010 there are two conferences workshop participants
may be interested in:

- the 7th International Conference on Cognitive Science (ICCS) which
  takes place August 17 to 20, 2010, just before COLING. It is our
  hope that this unique opportunity will foster scientific exchange
  between the scientific communities of Computational Linguistics and
  Cognitive Science. The ICCS' venue is the China National Convention
  Center (CNCC) which is close to COLING's site, the Beijing
  International Convention Center (BICC), located on the other side of
  the China National Stadium ('Bird Nest').

- Also somewhat related is the 6th IEEE International Conference on
  Natural Language Processing and Knowledge Engineering (IEEE
  NLP-KE'10).  Yet, as it is scheduled for August 21 to 23, 2010, it
  overlaps with our workshop.

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

     *****PROLONGATION DE LA DATE DE SOUMISSION AU 30 AVRIL*****

          Atelier Web S?mantique M?dical, N?mes 8 Juin 2010

            http://www-limbio.smbh.univ-paris13.fr/wsm10/

en conjonction avec les 21?mes Journ?es francophones d?Ing?nierie des
Connaissances

            http://www.ic2010.mines-ales.fr/

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

Aujourd'hui, le probl?me crucial qui est pos? est celui du partage et
d'un acc?s ?intelligent? ? l'information m?dicale disponible.

Les ontologies et les terminologies prennent de plus en plus
d'importance.  Elles fournissent un vocabulaire commun ainsi qu'une
description de la signification des termes d'un domaine et des
relations qu'ils entretiennent qui est exploitable de mani?re
informatique.  Elles jouent un r?le majeur pour la nouvelle g?n?ration
du World Wide Web aussi appel? Web S?mantique car elles sont
indispensables pour d?crire le contenu des ressources du Web et
faciliter leur exploitation.

Ainsi par exemple, la Systematised Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical
Terms (SNOMED CT) est utile aussi bien pour les dossiers ?lectroniques
o? elle r?duit les possibilit?s de mauvaise interpr?tation des
donn?es, que pour la recherche d'information. D'autres exemples
d'ontologies sont le Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA), le National
Cancer Institute (NCI) Thesaurus, Gene Ontology et OBO Foundry ? un
entrep?t contenant plus de 80 ontologies biom?dicales.

Les technologies, langages, outils et standards du Web S?mantique
(RDF, OWL, SPARQL...etc.) jouent ?galement aujourd'hui un r?le de
toute premi?re place pour les applications m?dicales.

L'objectif de cet atelier est de dresser un ?tat des lieux en faisant
le point sur les avanc?es scientifiques et les projets r?alis?s
r?cemment en France dans le domaine biom?dical, la derni?re journ?e
Web S?mantique M?dical ayant eu lieu en 2004 ? Rouen.

Il vise notamment ? rassembler des utilisateurs, d?veloppeurs, et
chercheurs tant universitaires qu'industriels pour d?crire et partager
leur exp?rience autour d'applications bas?es sur des technologies du
Web S?mantique.



Les discussions pourront ?tre organis?es autour des th?matiques (non
exhaustives) suivantes :

  * Terminologies et ontologies du domaine m?dical. Formalismes de
    repr?sentation. Apport de la s?mantique.

  * M?ta-donn?es et annotations pour la recherche d'information. Types
    de m?ta-donn?es. M?ta- donn?es bas?es sur des ontologies. Outils
    d'aide ? l'annotation.

  * Langages de requ?tes, langages de r?gles bas?s ontologie, fouille
    de donn?es et leurs apports.

  * Int?gration de donn?es multi-sources, entrep?ts de donn?es
    biom?dicales sur le Web, alignement/mise en correspondance
    d'ontologies et de terminologies.

  * Applications biom?dicales des technologies Web S?mantique au
    dossier patient, ? la g?nomique et autres "iques", l'imagerie
    m?dicale, sites grand public, recherche biom?dicale,
    enseignement,..etc.


Les chercheurs travaillant sur la th?matique g?n?rale du Web
S?mantique M?dical sont invit?s ? soumettre des articles de 10 pages
maximum (figures et r?f?rences incluses) au format **pdf** conforme
aux mod?les de document d'IC (disponibles sur le site)

Les contributions devront ?tre envoy?es par courriel jusqu'au 30/04 ?

refereed conferences or journals can be resubmitted and will be
accepted as compressed contributions. Authors are invited to submit
the officially published version (without page restriction) together
with a one or two-page abstract. B-Papers will be accepted for either
oral or poster presentation. The abstract of the paper will be
published in the proceedings. Every author may submit at most one
B-paper of which they are the corresponding author, and only if they
do not submit any A-paper as corresponding author.

Type C: DEMONSTRATIONS & APPLICATIONS

Proposals for demonstrations will be evaluated based on submitted
demonstration summaries stating the following: the purpose of the
system to be demonstrated, its user groups, the organization or
project for which it is developed, the developers, and the technology
used. In addition, the system requirements and the duration of the
demo (not exceeding 30 minutes) should be mentioned. Especially master
students are encouraged to submit papers presenting their applications

Call for Papers: ECAI  2010 Workshop
Language, Pragmatics and Explanation, LPE?10
Lisbon, August 2010

Outline and aims

Explanation analysis and production is a wide topic that has been
addressed with specific objectives in disciplines such as didactics
and psychology, and in domains as diverse as law and legal reasoning,
politics and news editorials production, human resource management,
etc. Some forms of empirical analysis have emerged from these areas,
often under the form of schemas that characterize certain forms of
explanations and their expected role.

Some useful work has been carried out so far on formal aspects: mental
and conceptual models, semantics and pragmatics of explanation, but
less work on AI and related language technology (lexicon, grammar, and
semantics) aspects. Besides the need of formal developments,
computer-based explanation production is now becoming a crucial
component of a number of application areas, as, for example,
cooperative question-answering, involving language processing and
reasoning, where most responses provided by a system need to be paired
with explanations on how the response has been found and on how it
responds to the question. Lets us also cite computer-based didactic
systems where the transmission of a certain knowledge or know-how
needs to be paired with quite sophisticated forms of explanations. In
most contexts, these explanations must be generated dynamically: they
cannot be defined a priori via a few simple forms. On a more abstract
register, explanation analysis is crucial in a number of situations,
such as opinion analysis from news editorials or political speeches,
where the relevance and quality of the explanations will heavily
influence the opinions of listeners. Finally, procedures (maintenance,
social life, DIY, etc.) are a rich source for explanation analysis and
production.

Recent foundational, methodological and technological developments in
knowledge representation, in pragmatics (user models and profiling,
intentions modelling, etc.), in reasoning (e.g. argumentation,
decision theory, etc.), in advanced language processing, including
semantic and discourse analysis, and recent progress in Human Language
Technology, make it possible to foresee the elaboration of much more
accurate, cooperative and robust systems dedicated to explanation
analysis and production. These can be essentially language-based (via
online texts or web pages, operating either on open or closed domains)
or they can incorporate multimedia aspects. The user interface aspects
(input, output (e.g. SMS or advanced interfaces), on line help,
dialogue, etc.) are also crucial in the definition of such
systems. This leads us to also welcome contributions that involve
multi-media aspects.

The workshop addresses both empirical and formal models of
explanation. It includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

Linguistic and conceptual aspects

- Rhetorical structures that support or contribute to explanation
  production and structure (elaborations, reformulations, examples,
  warnings, hints, various forms of arguments, etc.) and their
  structure and semantic and pragmatic role,

- Illocutionary force identification, persuasion effects,

- The language (lexical, grammatical) of explanation, language
  connectors, metaphors in explanation,

- Analysis of surface forms of explanation: textual, iconic,
  typography, graphics, images, multimodality,

- Characterization of explanation patterns (e.g. sequences of
  rhetorical structures) and their communicative role.,

- Specific problems, such as e.g. paraphrase and explanation,

- Cognitive aspects: perception of explanations by readers,
  implicature,

- Philosophical aspects and Ethics of explanation.  Annotation
  techniques and guidelines

- Guidelines for annotating explanation segments: what to annotate,
  and how,

- Annotator training aspects,

- Corpus development and validation: parameters to consider, various
  forms of corpora, tools for corpus collection, analysis and
  validation technologies.

Language processing aspects :

- Identification of explanation structures: by what means, lexical and
  grammar resources required, processing strategies,

- Resource and portability issues: the lexicon of explanation, domain
  related grammatical structures,

- Semantic representation, declarative and ?operational? semantics of
  connectors and rhetorical operators

- Specific linguistic aspects, such as: explanation and paraphrasing.
  Artificial intelligence aspects

- The logic of explanation,

- Models for explanations,

- Explanation-based systems, explanation in expert systems,

- Implicature, textual entailment, logic of assumptions and
  presuppositions,

- Related knowledge representation aspects, analysis of the required
  domain knowledge.

Explanation production, natural language generation issues

- Planning issues, e.g. w.r.t. explanation goals,

- Implementation of pragmatic aspects such as cooperativity,

- Lexical choice, sentence planning, taking into account of the user
  profile,

- Architecture of systems that support explanation generation
  Applicative domains, Man-Machine Communication, multimedia

- Analysis of explanation structures per domain, analysis of their
  role, their perception by users, specificities of certain domains
  and audiences

- Experiences from applications, e.g. as in: didactics (of science, of
  second language acquisition, etc., ); procedures and procedural
  knowledge; law; public debates, news and editorials; business;
  philosophy, etc.

- Explanation and its underlying effects: persuasion, emotions,

- Granularity of explanations, focusing, zooming in/out, user
  interactions and explanation management

- Multimedia aspects of explanation: e.g. pairing videos with textual
explanations.

Evaluation techniques and methods

- Identification of features to evaluate: technology aspects, user
  interaction and interpretation aspects, protocol definition and
  relevance measures,

- Engineering aspects: portability, re-usability, robustness,
  development costs and resources, interoperability, risk analysis,

- Explanation and economical models.

The workshop will be organized around a few major questions of
interest to a number of AI, NLP, linguistics, HLT, psychology and
pragmatics people.  Practitioners of explanation in various areas such
as didactics, opinion analysis, experimental psychology, ethics, are
encouraged to participate.  Application developers are also most
welcome.

Submission
The goal of this workshop is to enhance cross-discipline interactions.
Contributors must be opened to interactions with the different
workshop areas. The programme committee will care to have a balanced
number of participants from the different areas concerned.

Paper will go under peer review, as for most conferences.

To encourage an atmosphere appropriate for a workshop, we plan to:

    - have a 15mn discussion at the end of each session,

    - have a panel and an invited speaker, possibly plan a tentative
      roadmap definition,

    - plan demos on portable machines.

Submission format:

We welcome short papers (max 3 pages), describing projects or ongoing
research and long papers (max. 6 pages), that relate more established
results. Papers describing applications are encouraged, besides
theoretical contributions. Papers must be sent in .pdf format. The
format to use for papers and abstracts is the same as for ECAI. The
title page (no separate title page is needed) should include the
following information:

-	Title
-	Authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses
-	Topic(s) of the above list, as appropriate
-	Abstract (short summary up to 5 lines)

Papers must be sent to both co-organizers at the email addresses given
below.  Deadlines:

May 7th 2010: paper submission
June 7th: acceptance/rejection notification
June 25th: reception of final paper

All accepted papers (long and short) will be published in the workshop
proceedings.

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

A partir de 2010, les conf?rences seront pr?c?d?es d?une journ?e de
formation (mercredi 2 juin). Le th?me de cette ann?e portera sur les
apports mutuels de la terminologie et de l?ontologie.

Date : mercredi 2 juin 2010.
Lieu : Annecy
Polytech?Savoie - 5 chemin de Bellevue - 74940 Annecy-le-Vieux
La formation a lieu le jour pr?c?dent la conf?rence TOTh 2010 (3 et 4
juin), sur le m?me site que la conf?rence.


OBJECTIFS :

Nous utilisons de plus en plus des applications de traitement de
l?information qui requi?rent une op?rationnalisation des terminologies
: moteurs de recherche s?mantiques, traduction, biblioth?ques
num?riques sp?cialis?es, gestion des connaissances, syst?mes
d?information, catalogues ?lectroniques, dictionnaires m?tiers, etc.
Les activit?s m?mes de terminographie et de terminologie, dans
l?identification des termes et la construction du syst?me conceptuel,
r?clament une telle approche.

Si l?informatique, par le traitement automatique des corpus,
intervient d?j? en terminologie pour l?extraction de termes candidats,
elle joue un r?le de plus en plus important pour la mod?lisation des
concepts sur laquelle s?appuie la terminologie. En effet,
l?op?rationnalisation des terminologies n?cessite une repr?sentation
consensuelle, partageable, r?utilisable, coh?rente et computationnelle
(informatique) de la conceptualisation, c?est-?-dire une
repr?sentation qui s?appuie ?galement sur des d?finitions formelles et
non plus uniquement sur des d?finitions en langue naturelle.

Dans ce cadre, les ontologies, issues de l?ing?nierie des
connaissances, constituent une des voies les plus prometteuses pour la
repr?sentation informatique du syst?me conceptuel. Elles partagent
avec la terminologie certains principes. Ainsi, la signification des
termes repose sur une conceptualisation partag?e et consensuelle d'un
domaine de sp?cialit?.

Cette formation a pour objectifs d??tudier les rapports
qu?entretiennent les dimensions linguistique et conceptuelle de la
terminologie avec l?ontologie. Apr?s un rappel de l?importance du
concept en terminologie, nous pr?senterons les ontologies issues de
l?ing?nierie des connaissances. Nous verrons ensuite comment int?grer
les ontologies dans une d?marche terminologique et les cons?quences
m?thodologiques et pratiques d?une telle d?marche. L'accent sera enfin
mis sur les relations entre les concepts et les termes qui les
d?notent en distinguant les sp?cifications logiques des d?finitions
linguistiques.

PROGRAMME :

La formation se d?roule sur une journ?e, organis?e de la fa?on
suivante : Introduction

La formation d?butera par la pr?sentation de deux applications
industrielles afin d?illustrer l?int?r?t et l?importance de
l'op?rationnalisation des terminologies.
Terminologie

Tout n?est pas technique dans les discours sp?cialis?s. Ce qui l?est,
ce sont des objets (concrets ou abstraits) auxquels sont reconnues des
propri?t?s constantes au sein d?une communaut? identifiable par un
domaine (comme la m?canique auto) et/ou par un milieu de travail
(comme tel garage). Les termes sont les noms donn?s par les
professionnels aux objets techniques, la terminologie est l??tude des
termes ainsi compris.

- fondements th?oriques
- importance du concept en terminologie
- mod?lisation des syst?mes conceptuels
Ontologie

Qu?est-ce qu?une ontologie ? A quoi peut-elle servir ? Quelle forme
peut-elle prendre ? Comment la d?finit-on ? Avec quels langages,
quelles m?thodes ? Quels sont ses rapports avec la terminologie ?
Qu?en est-il d?une ?ventuelle dimension linguistique ? Autant de
questions auxquelles cette partie apportera des ?l?ments de r?ponse et
qui am?neront ? la notion d'ontoterminologie.

- d?finition(s), fondements th?oriques et exemples
- m?thodes et environnements de d?veloppement
 Mise en ?uvre et exemples

Une ontologie n?est pas une terminologie. Il reste ? voir comment
int?grer les apports mutuels de l'ontologie et de la terminologie en
un paradigme coh?rent, celui d?ontoterminologie, qui sera illustr? par
des exemples de mise en ?uvre industriels.  - une m?thode outill?e -
exemples d?application : dictionnaire m?tier, cartographie
documentaire.

Les participants ? la formation auront acc?s ? des logiciels de
d?finition d?ontologies et de fiches terminologiques ainsi qu?? des
applications industrielles reposant sur la notion d?ontoterminologie.

=======================================
Appel ? Communications

Atelier "Evolution d'ontologies"

http://www.irit.fr/evolution2010

N?mes - 8 juin 2010
Associ? ? IC 2010
Nouvelle date limite de soumission : 30 avril 2010
=========================================

** Probl?matique **

Les ontologies sont souvent consid?r?es comme des repr?sentations
stables puisque consensuelles. Or leur utilisation dans des
applications les place dans des contextes dynamiques, dans lesquels
?voluent les connaissances et les terminologies des domaines, les
besoins des utilisateurs ou encore les collections documentaires, les
ressources ? exploiter dans les applications, etc.

L'objectif de cet atelier est de rendre compte des recherches et
r?sultats actuels relatifs ? la question de l'?volution des ontologies
dans leur contexte d'utilisation. ?troitement li?e au mode de
conception de l'ontologie, l'?volution se heurte aux m?mes obstacles :

* difficult? ? identifier les connaissances ? modifier pour que
  l'ontologie r?ponde au mieux ? un besoin particulier,

* difficult?s ? modifier la structure de l'ontologie,

* difficult? ? ?valuer l'impact et la pertinence d'une modification
  sur la structure conceptuelle,

* difficult?s ? prendre en compte l'impact des modifications sur les
  applications utilisant l'ontologie, par exemple quand elle utilis?e
  pour l'annotation s?mantique

La maintenance peut ?tre facilit?e si l'ontologie a ?t? document?e, et
surtout si les choix de mod?lisation sont explicitement not?s dans
l'ontologie. Dans le cas d'ontologies construites ? partir de textes
ou utilis?es pour l'annotation s?mantique de textes, outre la facilit?
d'enrichissement de l'ontologie que permettent les logiciels d'analyse
de textes, la possibilit? de revenir aux textes sources constitue une
aide ? l'interpr?tation et donc ? l'?volution. D'autres approches
abordent cette question sous son angle ? syntaxique ?, et tirent
profit des modes de repr?sentation des connaissances. Ainsi, sont
?tudi?s les probl?mes de gestion de coh?rence et de maintien de la
validit? lors de l'ajout ou du retrait de concepts et
relations. D'autres travaux s'appuient sur la structure des
ontologies, l'analyse de textes ou la r?utilisation d'ontologies ou de
ressources terminologiques pour constater la n?cessit? de les mettre ?
jour. Des techniques initialement d?finies pour comparer deux
ontologies sont aussi adapt?es pour mesurer l'ad?quation d'une
ontologie ? un nouveau corpus ou ? de nouveaux besoins. Enfin,
plusieurs travaux ont cherch? ? typer et caract?riser les
modifications de sens au sein des ontologies afin d'outiller leur mise
en place.

Il s'agit l? d'axes de recherche au sein de projets europ?ens comme
Knowledge Web, SEKT ou NeOn. Au niveau international, cette
probl?matique est au centre des ateliers IWOD et correspond aux
th?matiques de l'appel ? papier du num?ro sp?cial du Journal of Web
Semantics sur Semantic Web Dynamics.

** Sujet des articles **

Les articles soumis ? l'atelier pourront traiter d'?volution
d'ontologies au sens large, ainsi que des th?mes li?s comme la gestion
de versions, la r?vision, l'enrichissement d'ontologies. Il pourra
s'agir de travaux de recherche (pr?sentation de m?thodes, d'outils
oude r?sultats th?oriques) ou de travaux plus appliqu?s tels que des
?tudes de cas. En particulier, nous mentionnons les th?mes suivants
(entre autres) :

* rep?rer des causes d'?volution, d?tecter des changements
      o apport de l'analyse de ressources externes
      o apport du traitement automatique de langues et de la fouille
        de textes
      o apport de l'analyse des logs et des interactions avec un
        utilisateur
      o adaptation lors de la r?utilisation, int?gration ou fusion
        d'ontologies

* d?crire la nature des changements, typologies ou ontologies de
  changement

* d?crire des solutions pour mettre en place et impl?menter des
  processus ?volutions

A book edited by Dr. Christophe Jouis (1, 3), Prof. Isma?l Biskri (2),
Prof. Jean-Gabriel Ganascia (1) and CNRS Research director Magali Roux

*Introduction*

Scientific and economic organizations are confronted with handling an
abundance of strategic information in their domain activities. One
main challenge is to be able to find the right information quickly. In
order to do so, organizations must master information access: getting
relevant query results that are organized, sorted, and actionable.

Recent technological progress in computer science, Web technologies,
and the constantly evolving information available on the Internet has
drastically changed the landscape of search and access to information.
Current search engines employ advanced techniques involving machine
learning, social networks and semantic analysis.

*Objectives of the Book*

The main goal of this book is to transfer the new research results
from the fields of advanced computer sciences and information science
in order to master the access to information. The readers will be able
to have a better idea of the results in applied research. The
achievement of relevant, organized, sorted and workable answers -- to
name but a few -- from a search is become a daily need for the
enterprises and organizations, and, to a greater extent, for
anyone. It does not consist of accessing to structural information
like in standard databases only; neither it does consist of searching
information strictly by the mean of a combination of key words. It
goes far beyond that. The information sought must be able to be
identified by the topics covered by it, that is to say its textual,
audio, video or graphical content. This is not a new issue. However,
recent technological advances have totally changed the used
techniques. The new Web technologies, the emergence of Intranet
systems and the abundance of information on the Internet have created
the need for efficient search and information access tools.

*Target Audience*

This book is intended for scientists and decision-makers who wish to
gain working knowledge about search in order to evaluate available
solutions and to dialogue with software and data providers. It also
targets intranet or Web server designers, developers and
administrators who wish to understand how to integrate search
technology in their applications according to their needs. This book
is further designed for database, groupware applications and document
management systems (EDM) designers, developers and administrators, as
well as libraries or documentation centres directors who seek a deeper
understanding of the tools they use, and how to set up new information
systems. Lastly, this book aims all professionals in technology or
competitive intelligence and, more generally, the specialists of the
information market.

*Recommended topics include, but /are not limited to/, the following:*//

. Semantic Web

More and more content producers, as a result of the W3C
recommendations on the semantic Web, index their databases with
metadata or taxonomies (ontologies), in order to allow the search
engines to adapt to the semantic analyzers. Currently many algorithms
are being developed for semantic information research systems that do
not impose hit-or-miss keyword searcher on the user.

. Generation of large-scale search engine index

. Video, audio and graphics indexing

. Query user interface: Controlled natural languages, natural language
  query, multilingual search, etc.

. Index Data Structures: Suffix tree, tree, Inverted index, Ngram index, 
  Term document matrix, etc.

. Multi-sources and multi-formats indexation: Most recent search

Final Announcement and Call for Papers
    ** Deadline extended to 5/7 **
***************************************

10th International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents
IVA 2010

20-22 September 2010

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

http://iva2010.org


Intelligent virtual agents (IVAs) are interactive characters that
exhibit human-like qualities and communicate with humans or with each
other using natural human modalities such as behavior, gesture and
speech.  IVAs are capable of real-time perception, cognition and
action that allow them to participate in a dynamic social environment.

IVA-2010 is an interdisciplinary annual conference and the main forum
for presenting research on modeling, developing and evaluating
intelligent virtual agents with a focus on communicative abilities and
social behavior.  The conference encourages a spectrum of
presentations from theoretical issues to working applications.
Research on human-human and human-robot interaction adapted to
intelligent embodied agents is also welcome.


Special topic for 2010: Virtual Human Communities

IVA-2010 particularly encourages submissions on this year?s special
topics of virtual human communities.  IVA achievements to date lead
naturally to studies involving the formation, simulation and
understanding of ever widening social, cultural and cognitive
interactions among humans and virtual humans.  Computer graphics
techniques now permit the visual simulation of large collections of
individual agents, offering real-time visualization platforms for
expanding social units to families, co-worker teams, building
inhabitants and even an entire virtual populace.  Mobile interactive
devices and emergent human interests in real-time social networking
provide some additional economic incentives and a growing industry
presence.  This special topic also builds on the special theme of IVA
09, games, in that participants in virtual environments will need to
interact not just with the space or with individual IVAs, but perhaps
with a community of IVAs in order to achieve desired situations or
goal states.  IVA 2010 offers the opportunity for further
interdisciplinary cross-fertilization between the IVA and virtual
populace simulation fields.

Keynote Speakers (see iva2010.org for details)

* Paul Debevec - Associate Director, Graphics Research, ICT, USC;
  Research Associate Professor, ICT, USC

* Ruben Gur, Ph. D.- Professor of Psychology, University of
  Pennsylvania; Director of the Brain Behavior Laboratory; "The
  Neurobiology of Emotion Processing by Humans and Computers"

* Lee Sheldon - Anti-Linear Logic; Assistant Professor, Department of
  Telecommunications, Indiana University; "Virtual Agents in the
  Modular World"

GALA (Gathering of Animated Lifelike Agents)
at IVA 2010, September 20-22, 2010, Philadelphia
http://iva2010.org/gala
Call for Participation

--

GALA IN A NUTSHELL:
-------------------

GALA is an annual festival to showcase the latest Animated Lifelike
Agents created by university students

and academic or industrial research groups. GALA was launched in
2005. GALA provides:

- The GALA Final event, to demonstrate the state-of-the-art in the
  technology of virtual humans.

- The GALA Jury Award for student projects and the GALA Public Award
  for any entry.

- The permanent GALA Gallery on the web with the best entries
  exhibited for further study.

- The possibility of an optional short paper (2 pages) publication in
  the proceedings of the annual 


IVA conference, published by Springer.


An international jury will select entries for the GALA Gallery, to be
presented live at the GALA Final. An award will be presented to the
best entry.  GALA is the major event for demonstrating your
interactive virtual humans, exploiting techniques in real- time
graphics, animation, multi-modal interaction, agents, emotion
modelling, dialog management and related areas. The quality and
interactive capabilities of the animated lifelike agent are to be
presented in a short movie (see Submission details). GALA is different
from and complementary to scientific conferences where demonstrations
are at most illustrations of talks, often not included in proceedings
and thus hard to reproduce. GALA specifically encourages university
students at all levels to submit their work prepared in a shorter
time, preferably as a project related to their university curriculum,
unlike the output of larger-scale research presented at conferences.

PARTICIPANTS TRACKS:
--------------------

1. Student 

Students from any university, individually or as a group, may submit
in this track. For each student submission a supervisor should be
named, who can be contacted should the jury want to clarify some
issues concerning originality of the work or status of the
authors. The works submitted in this track must be prepared within a
year prior to submission, preferably as a student project related to a
university curriculum. However, animated lifelike agents created in
the context of a larger research project or industrial application are
welcome too, as well as ones made on their developer's own initiative,
i.e.  without any background context. In the first case, the
contribution of the student to the project as well as the earlier
results built upon should be specifically emphasized.
  
2. Other 

In this track work from academic institutions and industry, as well as
from multi-party national or international projects, is welcome.

All submissions are candidates for the short list of entries, to be
presented at the final show and to be included in the
repository. Submission categories and formal requirements (see below)
are identical for both tracks.
 
SUBMISSION CATEGORIES:
----------------------

1. Novel Interaction

The animated lifelike agent should interact with the user, but in a
way that does not use a keyboard or mouse.  A simple example is to use
a video camera or a microphone, but more novel interactions may came
from using other input methods, such as wii motes, mobile phone or
Microsoft?s new project Natal.  In any case the novelty of the
interaction is key.

2. Animated Lifelike Agent Application

The animated lifelike agent is developed for an application. The movie
shows the animated lifelike agent in the application context. The
points of interest are novelty of application, smoothness of
interaction, appeal, general design, consistency, etc.

3. Animated Lifelike Agent Creation

In this category, a special feature (e.g. lip-sync, body design,
facial animation, hand gesturing) of the animated lifelike agent is to
be presented. The points of interest are modules or tools used to
create certain aspects of animated lifelike agents, in an easy way and
convincing quality.

In the last two categories, the embodiment (head/full body,
realistic/cartoon-like), the cast of role (e.g.  information provider
for the user, actor in interactive drama, educator, chatbot) and the
media (e.g. Virtual reality, PC, palmtop, mobile phone) are
open. Novel application domains, designs and media are encouraged. The
only restriction is that the animated lifelike agent must have
reactive and/or interactive capabilities, as opposed to virtual
characters animated for a single purpose (e.g. CG animation for a
film, direct usage of Motion Capture). Physical robots are not
eligible for GALA.

SUBMISSION FORMAT:
------------------

The animated lifelike agent is to be described (with the possibility
of inclusion in the IVA2010 proceedings), followed by a (.flv) movie
(to be shown at the GALA Final) of 2-4 minutes, in the first round.
The international jury will invite the entries for the second round,
to be demonstrated at the GALA Final in public, as well as a high
quality version of the video for the GALA presentation.

The submission deadlines are:
14th May 2010 - GALA short paper deadline.
1st  June 2010 - GALA flash video submission deadline.

                           Call for papers


Knowledge processing has always been an important part of NLP and
HLT. This area (knowledge engineering) is directly related to
artificial intelligence and cognitive sciences, but also concerns
expertise processing, formatting know-how, interpersonal skills,
marketing, commercial and industrial technologies,and knowledge
industry issues in all its forms.

Compared to raw text or text databases, knowledge is generally defined
as extracted, selected, compared, evaluated, structured, organized,
usable, transferable and possibly marketable information in a given
field.  Many proposals of concepts and tools have been made for
extracting, structuring knowledge, such as ontology building for
instance.
 
The 2010 Bulag subject is in keeping with this theme :

      NLP and the new issues of knowledge expression on the Web.

Focusing on the development of knowledge with the Internet: blogs,
chats, e-mails, online encyclopaedias, wikis, e-marketing, e-learning,
e-politics, what new forms of knowledge are found? 

How can we extract information from texts, images, animations and
process the data? With what tools? For what purpose? That is to say,
what new industrial applications can we expect? 


Some suggestions have been proposed: 

- use of lexical resources, technical terminology databases. 

- use of structured knowledge systems: frames, scripts, semantic
  networks, conceptual networks to understand technical texts or
  newspapers for question answering. 

- use of knowledge architectures relying upon natural language
  processing, as well as resources and NLP tools available in robotics
  or industrial ontologies.

The systems must integrate web communication and common sense
processing ...

It remains to be seen what areas, what NLP tools, what types of
treatments are concerned, what tools should be modified or created.
