As a web platform ( http://labh-curien.univ-st-etienne.fr/zulu/ ), Zulu allows users to generate tasks, to interact with the Oracle in learning sessions and to record the results of the users. The users are provided with: - a baseline algorithm written in JAVA and/or - the elements allowing to build from scratch a new learning algorithm capable of interacting with the server. The baseline is a variation of Algorithm L* with some sampling done to simulate equivalence queries. As a starting point, the users can therefore play with some simple JAVA code, and easily explore all aspects of Zulu. Schedule: - Now: Zulu platform is open, anyone may register, develop and test their algorithms - June 1st: Official beginning of the competition - June 30th: Deadline for scoring, submissions closed - July 7th: Notifications of the results - July 15th: Deadline for submission of abstracts to the workshop - September 13-16th: workshop at ICGI (in Valencia, Spain, September 13-16, 2010, http://users.dsic.upv.es/workshops/icgi2010/ ) Prizes and publications: The winner of the Zulu competition will receive a prize of 1000 €. Participants are encouraged to present their innovations as extended abstracts to the Zulu workshop that will be organised during ICGI. A journal special issue will also be considered.

One possible way around this problem is to interrogate an expert with a number of chosen queries, in an interactive mode, until a satisfying model is reached. In this case, an important indicator of success is the amount of energy the expert has spent in order for learning to be successful. A nice learning paradigm covering this situation is that of Query Learning, introduced by Dana Angluin. In the field of Grammatical Inference, Query Learning was thoroughly investigated to learn deterministic finite automata (DFA). As negative results, it was proved that DFA could not be learned from just a polynomial number of membership queries nor from just a polynomial number of strong equivalence queries. On the other hand, algorithm L* designed by Angluin, was proved to learn DFA from a polynomial number of both membership and equivalence queries. These results yield several successful applications in Robotics, Games and Agents Technologies, Information Retrieval, Hardware and Software Verification. In Zulu, the goal is to optimise the learning by trying to minimize the number of queries for a given task. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue May 4 20:00:19 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 4 May 2010 22:00:19 +0200 Subject: Job: Ingenieur en developpement d'applications, INRIA Nancy Grand Est Message-ID: Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2010 16:43:19 +0200 From: Claire.Gardent at loria.fr Message-ID: <4BD99B07.6050105 at loria.fr> Offre d'Emploi : Ingénieur en développement d'applications INRIA Nancy Grand Est Contexte Le pôle TALC (Traitement automatique des langues et des connaissances) a pour mission de rendre accessible sur le Web (talc.loria.fr) les ressources (Lexiques, grammaires computationnelles, corpus), outils (segmenteurs en phrases ou en mots, reconnaisseurs d'entités nommées, etc) et systèmes (analyseurs sémantiques, plateforme de classification, systèmes d'aide à la décision) développés par les chercheurs des équipes Calligramme, Talaris, Parole, Orpailleur, Read, Qgar et Kiwi du LORIA (www.loria.fr).

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 Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit /on or before /*/May 5, 2010/*, a 2-3 pages chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter.

Previous Formal Grammar meetings were held in Barcelona (1995), Prague (1996), Aix-en-Provence (1997), Saarbruecken (1998), Utrecht (1999), Helsinki (2001), Trento (2002), Vienna (2003), Nancy (2004), Edinburgh (2005), Malaga (2006), Dublin (2007), Hamburg (2008) and Bordeaux (2009). Aims and Scope FG provides a forum for the presentation of new and original research on formal grammar, mathematical linguistics and the application of formal and mathematical methods to the study of natural language. Themes of interest include, but are not limited to, o formal and computational phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics; o model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics; o logical aspects of linguistic structure; o constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar; o learnability of formal grammar; o integration of stochastic and symbolic models of grammar; o foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar; o mathematical foundations of statistical approaches to linguistic analysis. Previous conferences in this series have welcomed papers from a wide variety of frameworks. Proceedings Submissions will be reviewed anonymously by at least three reviewers. Accepted papers will be published after the conference in the LNCS series of Springer. Submission Details We invite **electronic** submissions of original, unpublished 30-minute papers (including questions, comments, and discussion). Papers should report original work which was not presented in other conferences. However, simultaneous submission is allowed, provided that the authors indicate other conferences to which the work was submitted on the paper submission form.

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: * Reactive automata M. Crochemore, King's College London 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.

Submissions are not restricted to works presented at the workshop. General information ------------------- Hybrid logic is an extension of modal logic which allows us to refer explicitly to states of the model in the syntax of formulas. Developed in the last fifteen years or so, Hybrid logic is now a mature field on its own with significant impact on a range of other fields. Submissions ----------- The post-proceedings volume editors welcome original high-quality contributions on hybrid logic and applications that have not been published or submitted elsewhere. The scope is not only standard hybrid-logical machinery like nominals, satisfaction operators, and the downarrow binder but, more generally, extensions of modal logic that increase its expressive power. Please use the HyLo 2010 submission page to submit papers (https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=hylo2010). Use the submission category "Additional papers". Papers should not exceed 17 pages including references. Authors must prepare their submissions according to the ENTCS guidelines (http://www.entcs.org). Submitted papers will be reviewed by the program committee of HyLo 2010. Important dates --------------- The deadline for submissions is September 15, 2010.

Mosaïque linguistique, magnifiquement décrite dans un article écrit beaucoup plus tard « langue du métèque et langue du savant », où à la diversité des langues s'ajoutait la diversité de leurs usages : berçeuses de la « nona », sa grand-mère bien aimée, mais aussi tradition savante de l'aïeul érudit dont on trouve la trace dans des textes de la Catalogne médiévale. Il n'y a pas à chercher plus loin la source de son intérêt pour l'apprentissage simultané des langues et plus subtilement du dévouement particulier avec lequel elle encadrait des étudiants qui avaient appris le français en Chine, en Corée, au Japon, en Afrique, ou aux Comores. C'est bien aussi dans la virtuosité des joutes oratoires qui animaient sans nul doute cette foisonnante communauté qu'il faut trouver la source à la fois de son intérêt passionné pour la langue parlée, mais aussi de la sûreté de la connaissance intuitive qu'elle en avait. A ce merveilleux terrain, il fallait ajouter du savoir et de la méthode pour que la frêle adolescente heureusement préservée de l'extermination qui s'acharna sur sa communauté devienne une étudiante rayonnante dont la rigueur, la puissance de travail et la créativité éblouissait ses maîtres et fascinait ses condisciples. Elle a donc acquis une solide formation en philologie médiévale en Langue d'oïl comme en langue d'OC (c'était aussi une spécialiste de l'Ancien Provençal) sous la direction des maîtres les plus exigeants, parmi lesquels Jean Boutière ou Robert-Léon Wagner. Elle y a ajouté une maîtrise vite innovatrice des courants guillaumiens et structuralistes qui prédominaient dans la Sorbonne des années 60 . Agrégée de Lettres Modernes, Diplômée de l'Ecole pratique des hautes études, Docteur es-lettres de L'université Sorbonne Nouvelle, elle allait, à partir de là, construire une brillante carrière universitaire. Après un an passé au Liban comme assistante où elle a pris un contact charnel avec une méditerranée jusque là rêvée, elle a occupé un poste d'Assistante à Lyon, puis à la Sorbonne, pour terminer au grade de Professeur à la Classe Exceptionnelle à l'Université de Provence, à Aix-en-Provence. Elle y était venue en 1964 , alors que la Sorbonne lui tendait les bras, à l'appel et à l'admiration réciproque de Jean Stefanini, pour former sous sa direction d'abord avec André Chervel, puis avec d'autres espoirs de la linguistique française une équipe d'exception qui a joué un rôle innovateur dans le développement de notre discipline. Vers la fin d'une carrière exemplaire, elle a cumulé son poste avec une Direction d'Etudes à l'Ecole Pratique des Hautes études de Paris. Elle a enfin été nommée Professeur Emérite à l'Université de Provence en 2000. Elle était Docteur honoris causa de l'Université de Leuven et a Présidé la Société de Linguistique de Paris, pour la quelle elle a rédigé quantité de rigoureux compte rendus. Elle a été invitée à plusieurs reprises à donner des cours de linguistique française et générale dans les universités étrangères les plus prestigieuses des Etats-Unis, d'Europe et d'Amérique latine, sans oublier Israël, où elle contribuait à maintenir l'excellence des études françaises, injustement menacées, à son avis, par des contraintes budgétaires locales et insuffisamment soutenues par la politique linguistique de la France. Autorité reconnue dans son domaine, y compris par des collègues qui pouvaient ne pas partager ses points de vue, elle le fut d'abord par son talent pédagogique que l'on retrouvait aussi dans sa grande maîtrise de l'exposé scientifique qu'il soit oral ou écrit. Elle a ainsi dirigé un Département qui a formé plus de 60 thésards, modestes étudiants de Lettres modernes à leurs débuts, dont plus de la moitié continuent aujourd'hui son oeuvre comme Maîtres de Conférences ou Professeurs dans des universités françaises et étrangères. Elle a ainsi pleinement assumé, sans démagogie, le double héritage de l'élitisme républicain et de la démocratisation permise par la réforme du système universitaire issue des mouvements de Mai 1968. Comme savant, elle a écrit ou dirigé huit livres : l'Orthographe, avec André Chervel en 1969, dont le caractère iconoclaste souleva de roboratives polémiques, Pronom et syntaxe en 1984 avec José Deulofeu et Karel Van den Eynde, Le français parlé: édition et transcription avec Colette Jeanjean en 1987, Le français parlé : études grammaticales en 1990 avec ses étudiants docteurs, Recueil de textes de français parlé en 1995, avec Frédéric Sabio et Christine Rouget, Approches de la langue parlée en 1997, qui sont autant de références dans le domaine, Eurom 4 en 2003 avec entre autres André Valli et un huitième en cours de publication, Le français, Usages de la langue parlée, en collaboration avec Philippe Martin. Ces ouvrages synthétisent la matière de plus de cent cinquante articles publiés sous son nom ou en collaboration, caractérisés par la finesse de l'intuition linguistique, l'intelligence et la profondeur de l'argumentation. Elle a, de plus , conçu et dirigé la revue Recherches sur le Français Parlé, qui a été la seule à diffuser cette ligne de recherches de 1979 à 2001. A partir de cette spécialité, dont elle avait été une des tout premières à comprendre l'intérêt pour le développement de la science linguistique - au point que la recherche sur la langue parlée est aujourd'hui un domaine largement exploré tant par les théoriciens du langage que par les praticiens de son traitement automatique - elle a, à l'écart de la recherche instituée, mais au fil de rencontres où son pouvoir de séduction et de conviction forgeaient de solides et enthousiastes collaborations, étendu son activité à d'autres domaines de la linguistique : l'acquisition du langage et de l'écriture , la prosodie, la langue des signes, la sociolinguistique et enfin un domaine où enjeu politique et théorique se rencontrent : l'enseignement simultané de langues voisines, avec comme réalisation concrète la méthode EuRoM 4, utilisée dans de nombreuses universités en Europe pour enseigner simultanément quatre langues romanes. La France avait reconnu ces éminents services en la faisant Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur. Mais les témoignages de reconnaissance qu'elle préférait étaient sans nul doute ceux que lui apportaient les nombreux visiteurs, anciens étudiants, collègues ou simplement amis, qu'elle accueillait avec une chaleureuse élégance dans son jardin d'Aix-en Provence, où elle a fini sa vie parmi les fleurs que le Printemps venait d'y faire éclore. Claire Blanche Benveniste est morte le 29 avril à Aix-en-Provence.

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 via the EasyChair system, using a prescribed form that is available 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.

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.

As a result, the scientific and industrial communities have gained access to an increasing number of ontologies and terminologies. For instance, within the biomedical area, several dozens of orthogonal or generic ontologies and terminologies are currently available thanks to the OBO [1] (Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies) or UMLS [2] initiatives: the objective is to make them interoperable and hence reusable. The usage of an ontology or terminology is often characterized by several factors between which we would name: application, scientific or technical domain, language of data and of documents to be processed, user profile, etc. All of them influence the content and organization of the semantic resources (terminologies and ontologies). Exploitation of these resources in this original context ensures their optimal use and results. We assume that reuse of such resources implies that at least one of the designing factors is modified: application, user, domain ... Hence, the reuse implies also that an adaptation of ontologies and terminologies is performed. This process appears to be necessary in order to guarantee an optimized exploitation of the reused ontologies and terminologies. OBJECTIVES Further to recent evolution of the knowledge engineering area and to emergence of new context related to the reuse and adaptation of ontologies and terminologies, several questions have arised [3,4] and still arise. We propose to address them in this workshop and encourage submissions on topics related to questions such as: - Which areas have developed and currently provide freely available ontologies and terminologies? - Are these ontologies and terminologies specific to a given application, sub-domain or rather generic and descriptive of the area? - At which extend the existing ontologies and terminologies may be reused? - Whether the existing ontologies can be adapted to new purposes? - Is their adaptation a suitable process? - Is their adaptation less expensive than the designing of new ontologies? - What knowledge elements can be reused: terms, concepts, relations, roles, definitions ...? - Are terminologies more easily reusable than ontologies? - What methods and principles should be exploited for the adaptation and reuse of the existing ontologies? - How the mapping of ontologies may be helpful for their reuse? - Which role play corpora in adaptation of terminologies and ontologies? - Are Natural Language Processing methods helpful in the process of adaptation of terminologies and ontologies? If they are, which of them prove to be suitable? - ... This workshop may also be concerned with questions related to managing of the evolution of ontologies and their versioning [5,6] and to analysis of evolution of their content (i.e., concept emergence, removal, abstraction or specialisation) [7], especially when combined with questions cited above. SUBMISSION PROCESS - Submissions should not exceed 8 pages and respect the EKAW format (formatted according to Springer Verlag LNCS guidelines) - Submissions will be in PDF format - Submissions will be sent to: ReuseOnto-EKAW2010 at listes.univ-paris13.fr IMPORTANT DATES - 01/07/2010: submissions due - 25/07/2010: notifications - 01/09/2010: final version of papers PLACE AND DATE OF THE WORKSHOP The workshop will be held with the main conference EKAW 2010 (http://ekaw2010.inesc-id.pt) in Lisbon, Portugal on 11th October-15th October 2010.

Applications (CLA'10) Workshop. The deadline is at 31.05.2010 (May 31, 2010). Full paper submission is expected there is not preliminary short version proposal. It makes two weeks from now. The Workshop itself will be held in Wisla, Poland October 18-20, 2010. The CLA is located within the framework of the IMCSIT conference to create a dialog between researchers and practitioners involved in Computational Linguistics and related areas of Information Technology. http://CLA.imcsit.org CLA'10 Workshop is a place where the parties meet to exchange views and ideas with a benefit to all involved. The Workshop will focus on practical outcome of modeling human language use and the applications needed to improve human-machine interaction. Paper Topics This call is for papers that present research and developments on all aspects of Natural Language Processing used in real-life applications, such as (this list is not exhaustive): ambiguity resolution * anaphora resolution * applied CL software and systems * computational morphology * computational phonology * corpus annotation * corpus-based language modeling * creation of lexical resources * dialogue systems * emotions and personality modeling * entity recognition * extraction of linguistic knowledge from text corpora * information retrieval and information extraction * lexical resources * machine learning methods applied to language processing * machine translation and translation aids * multi-lingual dialogue systems * ontology and taxonomy evaluation * opinion mining and sentiment classification * paraphrasing and entailment * parsing issues * parts-of-speech tagging * proofing tools * prosody in dialogues * question answering * semantic networks and ontologies * semantic role labeling * semantic web * speech recognition and generation * summarization * text classification * text summarization * word sense disambiguation Paper Presentation The presentation of the paper has to include a demonstration of an existing tool. The papers should include a section describing the tool (or a prototype), which demonstrates the theory discussed in the paper. ========================================== Several good reasons to be there, in the order of their importance. 0) Why not? 1) CLA is organized for the third time in the scope of IMCSIT which is a multiconference gathering people from different fields of the IT&Computer Science. Paying for one you can attend a dozen of different seminars and workshops, including some of the fields close to the computational linguistics, like AIAA which is about the advances in AI. List of all events can be found at: http://www.imcsit.org/ 2) Apart from the scientists from all around the world you will also meet two hundredth or so Polish IT professionals. The annual gathering of PIPS (the society organizing both events) is taking place in parallel to IMCSIT under the same roof; social events are common for both. You can meet people who are kind of opinion leaders think-tank for Polish IT. It is always good to extend your network. 3) CLA is young yet growing fast. We have applied an inclusive model of building the Programme Committee, by inviting authors of the best papers to the PC of next year. If you'll be ranked above 4,4/5 we will be honored to have you in CLA '11 PC. Since the workshop is growing it may be useful for your academic career to deliver a really good paper. 4) Your paper will be reviewed by four reviewers; two from the academia and two from the industry. You will have to convince practitioners about the practical usefulness of your solution at the same time keeping proper level of the scientific part of it. Quite a challenge, but worth to be taken, we believe. 5) Poland seems to be interesting place nowadays as the only European country with the positive economy growth over last year, come and learn why. The area where a conference takes place belongs to the most picturesque parts of Polish mountains. The only thing we can not promise is the weather. At that period of the year it happens to be nice and in that case place looks really great, but sometimes it is awful. So trace the weather report on the conference page before you go. 6) If it will go wrong with the weather you do not have to go outside the venue at all. It is a huge hotel with SPA, swimming pools, saunas, salt baths a.s.o. There are also bars, restaurants, disco, bowling, gym, snooker. You name it. The long-lasting tradition of the conference is its great social spirit. If you are kind of shy, there will be a lot of occasions to socialize. If you do not need it, hotel is big enough to hide. 7) Price is moderate as for the scope of the event and the standard of the venue. We will publish price-list late July but it will definitely not exceed euro 700 for all. All means attendance, paper publication, breaks, gala diner, swimming pool access, three nights in the single room, three meals per day and social events. If you wish to make a trip we will assist you in arranging it. Krakow (Cracow, former Polish capital, the most "Italian" Polish city) and Oswiecim (where Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz was located) are in two hours drive distance from Wis?a. 8) Reaching Poland is easy. There are a lot of flights many of them operated by the budget lines. You should fly Katowice (KTW) but Krakow (KRK) will do as well. We will provide participants with transportation from Bielsko-Biala railway station (you can get there from Warsaw - WAW, by train). Well, eight reasons is a round number as for the IT/CS person, so if you are convinced please first look at the important dates: http://www.imcsit.org/pg/294/237 next check the papers from the previous years: http://www.imcsit.org/pg/334/263 learn about the papers' format: http://www.imcsit.org/pg/291/276 and deliver on time at: http://www.papers.imcsit.org/openconf.php CLA - where science meets reality! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue May 18 19:34:59 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 21:34:59 +0200 Subject: Seminaire: Christiane Fellbaum, MoDyCo , Paris Message-ID: Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 18:11:19 +0200 From: Jean-Luc Minel Message-ID: <4BEC24A7.9050106 at u-paris10.fr> * Séminaire de MoDyco (UMR 7114), de l'Ecole Doctorale 139 de l'Université Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense, de l'Ecole Doctorale 180 de l'Université Paris Descartes *** *Séance du 26 mai 2010 Amphi Durkheim, Université Paris Descartes* Séance organisée par *Delphine BATTISTELLI* : Ressources pour le TAL *14 h. - 14 h. 55 :* Christiane FELLBAUM (Department of Computer Science, Princeton University) * WordNet enhancements * *14 h. 55 - 15 h. 20 : pause*** *15 h. 20 - 16 h. :* Delphine BATTISTELLI, (Université.

Fundamental to this process is the availability and application of a large body of world knowledge. While human language users easily supply implicit information, automatic systems are currently not equipped to draw even the most basic inferences from what is explicitly stated. In this talk, I will describe a sharable respository of machine-sensible world knowledge resulting from the targeted enrichment of the WordNet lexical resource. I describe two kinds of WordNet enhancements that move it closer to knowledge base. First, semantic typing of "morphosemantic links" allows the introduction of Semantic Roles linked to specific word senses. Second, semantic annotation of WordNet's 120,000 definitions and the generation of full, logical representations that include include semantic relations yield numerous connections among concepts that reveal implicit knowledge in text. All enhancements are evaluated and an outlook for future work is provided.

Faisant des finalités d'analyse de la temporalité dans les textes un principe de description de l'objet lui-même, nous proposons de considérer ces opérations comme instruisant par ailleurs des formes -- plus ou moins directes -- d'opérations de navigation proposées à un utilisateur donné telles qu'elles peuvent être envisagées dans les systèmes de navigation textuelle. L'ensemble de la démarche repose sur une analyse en grande partie d'unités grammaticales et cherche à appréhender dans leur étroite interaction les trois catégories fondamentales de Temps, d'Aspect et de Modalité ainsi que la Dimension textuelle. *3e exposé :* Charles TEISSÈDRE (MoDyCo -- UMR 7114 CNRS, Univ. Paris Ouest) Analyse linguistique de la temporalité et technologies du Web Sémantique Le projet de recherche que l'on propose d'exposer aborde le problème de l'accès au contenu informationnel des textes numériques, via des critères liés à l'expression de la temporalité dans les textes. La visée du projet est double : il s'agit de concilier une approche conceptuelle et opératoire, du point de vue linguistique, et une approche applicative, dont l'objectif est de participer à l'élaboration de nouveaux outils d'accès au(x) texte(s), en s'appuyant sur les technologies issues des travaux menés autour du Web Sémantique. Il s'agit ainsi à la fois de mettre en oeuvre des systèmes d'interaction avec les utilisateurs et de parvenir à modéliser et représenter les structurations textuelles nées de l'analyse de la temporalité, afin d'enrichir la qualité de ces systèmes d'interaction. La mise en oeuvre de nouveaux modes d'accès aux textes pour les utilisateurs/lecteurs suppose l'élaboration d'un modèle qui prenne en compte les usages envisagés et qui puisse représenter et rendre compte finement des divers types de structuration textuelle que fait apparaître l'analyse linguistique de la temporalité. Le projet vise ainsi à contribuer au renouvellement de la ou des lecture(s) possible(s) des textes, via des critères temporels, grâce au support numérique et aux technologies du Web Sémantique. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue May 18 19:36:09 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 21:36:09 +0200 Subject: Appel: PSC 2010 - deadline extended, submission link corrected Message-ID: Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 23:09:30 +0200 (MEST) From: Jan.Holub at fit.cvut.cz Message-Id: <201005132109.o4DL9Uud015751 at sunray1.felk.cvut.cz> X-url: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=psc20100 X-url: http://www.stringology.org Submission deadline extended to May 18, 2010.

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: * Reactive automata M. Crochemore, King's College London 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.

Zdarek, Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue May 18 19:38:46 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 21:38:46 +0200 Subject: Appel: IWSLT'10 Message-ID: Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 18:51:40 +0200 From: Joseph Mariani Message-ID: <4BED7F9C.5070701 at limsi.fr> X-url: http://iwslt2010.fbk.eu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7th International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT 2010) First Call for Participants / Papers December 2-3, 2010 Paris, France http://iwslt2010.fbk.eu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT) is a yearly scientific workshop, associated with an open evaluation campaign on spoken language translation, where both scientific papers and system descriptions are presented. The 7th International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation will take place in Paris, France on 2-3 December 2010. === Scientific Papers The IWSLT invites submissions of scientific papers to be published in the workshop proceedings and presented in dedicated technical sessions of the workshop, either in oral or poster form. The workshop welcomes high quality contributions covering theoretical and practical issues in the field of machine translation (MT), in general, and spoken language translation (SLT), including Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Text-to-Speech Synthesis (TTS) and MT, in particular. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Speech and text MT - Integration of ASR and MT - MT and SLT approaches - MT and SLT evaluation - Language resources for MT and SLT - Open source software for MT and SLT - Pivot-language-based MT - Adaptation in MT - Simultaneous speech translation - Efficiency in MT - Stream-based algorithms for MT - Multilingual ASR and TTS Submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by three members of the workshop program committee. Authors of accepted papers are requested to present their paper at the workshop. === Evaluation Campaign IWSLT evaluations are not organized for the sake of competition, but their goal is to foster cooperative work and scientific exchange. In this respect, IWSLT proposes challenging research tasks and an open experimental infrastructure for the scientific community working on spoken and written language translation. This year, the IWSLT evaluation campaign will offer three tasks: - public speeches (TALK) on a variety of topics, from English to French (NEW CHALLENGE), - spoken dialogues (DIALOG) in travel situations, between Chinese and English, - traveling expressions (BTEC), from Arabic, Turkish, and French to English. For each task, monolingual and bilingual language resources will be provided to participants in order to train their translation systems, as well as sets of manual and automatic speech transcripts (with n-best and lattices) and reference translations, allowing researchers working only on written language translation to also participate. Moreover, blind test sets will be released and all translation outputs produced by the participants will be evaluated using several automatic translation quality metrics. Human assessment will be carried out for the translation of spoken dialogues and basic travel expressions. The goal of this year's new challenge (translation of public speeches) will be to establish reference baselines and appropriate evaluation protocols for future evaluations. As a consequence, although an evaluation server will be set-up to compute several translation accuracy metrics, there will be no official ranking of participants published by the organizers for this task. Each participant in the evaluation campaign is requested to submit a paper describing the MT system, the utilized resources, and results using the provided test data. Contrastive run submissions using only the bilingual resources provided by IWSLT as well as investigations of the contribution of each utilized resource are highly appreciated. Results feedback will be provided by the organizers a few days after the run submissions. Finally, all participants are requested to present their papers describing their MT systems at the workshop. === Important Dates Evaluation Campaign: - Training corpus release 28 May 2010 - Test corpus release 23 August 2010 - Run submissions due (DIALOG, BTEC) 6 September 2010 - Run submissions due (TALK) 30 September 2010 - MT system description due 14 October 2010 - Notification of acceptance 29 October 2010 - Camera-ready paper due 10 November 2010 Scientific Papers: - Paper submission due 4 September 2010 - Notification of acceptance 16 October 2010 - Camera-ready paper due 10 November 2010 === Organizers IWSLT Steering Committee: - Alex Waibel (CMU, USA / Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany) - Marcello Federico (FBK-irst, Italy) - Satoshi Nakamura (NICT, Japan) Chairs: * Workshop: - Alex Waibel (CMU, USA / KIT, Germany) - Joseph Mariani (LIMSI-CNRS & IMMI, France) * Evaluation Committee: - Michael Paul (NICT, Japan) - Marcello Federico (FBK-irst, Italy) * Program Committee: - Ian Lane (CMU, USA) - François Yvon (LIMSI-CNRS/U.

Le travail de thèse proposé vise la reconnaissance des entités nommées dans des documents multimodaux. Ces derniers pourront être des données écrites sous une forme électronique (correspondant à la saisie sur un clavier d'ordinateur) ou manuscrite (correspondant à la saisie avec un crayon numérique) ou des données parlées (correspondant à l'enregistrement de la parole). Il s'agira donc, dans un premier temps, d'étudier la robustesse des systèmes existants de reconnaissance des entités nommées pour ces différentes modalités d'un point de vue quantitatif comme qualitatif. De cette analyse devra déboucher des propositions concrètes qui seront intégrées à un système de reconnaissance existant. Outre les aspects liés à la reconnaissance des entités nommées, la dimension multilingue des documents à analyser devra être prise en compte ainsi que la mise à jour des ressources inhérentes aux outils de reconnaissance des entités nommées. *Informations pratiques :* Les candidats devront envoyer un dossier contenant un CV, une lettre de motivation, une lettre de recommandation du responsable de Master 2 et / ou de l'encadrant de stage de recherche, et si possible un relevé de notes de Master 2. La thèse, d'une durée de trois ans, débutera septembre 2010. *Contact : *Emmanuel Morin (emmanuel.morin at univ-nantes.fr ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue May 18 19:44:49 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 21:44:49 +0200 Subject: Journee: S'caladis, La localisation dans l'espace, Toulouse, 17 juin 2010 Message-ID: Date: Mon, 17 May 2010 10:36:06 +0200 From: Michel Aurnague Message-ID: <4BF0FFF6.1040809 at univ-tlse2.fr> Journée d'étude *S'caladis* // /La localisation dans l'espace : thème et variations/ Jeudi 17 juin 2010 -- Université de Toulouse-Le Mirail Maison de la Recherche -- salle D31 L'étude synchronique de la localisation statique dans l'espace constitue souvent la première étape et le socle des travaux sur les expressions spatiales, que ce soit pour des raisons purement opératoires/méthodologiques ou sur la base de postulats plus nettement théoriques. Les interventions rassemblées dans cette journée d'étude prendront les recherches statiques et synchroniques sur l'espace en français comme point de départ à partir duquel un certain nombre d'extensions, prolongements ou contrastes seront explorés : emplois non strictement spatiaux de certaines expressions ou constructions, descriptions dynamiques de l'espace (déplacement), évolution diachronique des expressions spatiales statiques, comparaisons interlinguistiques et interculturelles. En « relâchant » les contraintes fondamentales que constituent la langue et la culture, le type d'interprétation et la période envisagés -- mais en conservant les résultats des recherches synchroniques sur l'espace statique en français comme point de mire et de comparaison --, cette journée voudrait proposer une approche raisonnée et maîtrisée de la variation. 9:15-9:55 - Anne Le Draoulec (CLLE-ERSS/CNRS & UTM) & Denis Vigier (Univ.

Ensemble hétérogène, composite, mêlant textes, son et images, les productions circulant sur Internet matérialisent une multiplicité de formats d?expression qui s?inscriraient de manière linéaire dans une évolution technologique qui ferait se succéder des périodes, voire des ères (Web 1.0, Web 2.0 et Web 3.0 à venir), caractérisées par des possibilités d?expression toujours plus grandes. Dès lors, les catégories descriptives habituellement usitées ? sites, forums, blogs, wikis, en particulier ? apparaissent comme des terminologies sinon dépassées tout du moins inaptes à rendre compte de la réalité des pratiques fondées sur les usages plus ou moins hybrides d?applications « traditionnelles » et de « formes digitales » (micro-blogs, podcasts, mashups, syndication, taggage, etc.) sans cesse renouvelées qui résistent à une appréhension méthodologiquement univoque. Le concept de « dispositif socio-technique » est le plus souvent usité pour désigner l?ensemble de ces productions, ce qui permet de prendre en compte le poids des ressources matérielles et techniques nécessaires, mais aussi l'intervention des acteurs qui mettent en place et contrôlent ces ressources. Il s?agira de revenir sur une telle expression et sur les enjeux théoriques qu?elle soulève autant que sur ses implications méthodologiques. Sur ce point, la littérature est désormais bien fournie sur l?analyse des sites Internet dont se sont saisies les sciences de l?information et de la communication, sémiologie, linguistique, sociologie, etc. depuis plus d?une dizaine années. Cette séance sera l?occasion de faire un point sur les apports ? et les limites ? de ces différentes approches. - - - séminaire - - - séminaire - - - séminaire - - - séminaire - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue May 18 19:55:08 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 21:55:08 +0200 Subject: Appel: COLING 2010 Workshop on Multiword Expressions (MWE 2010), Final CFP Message-ID: Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 09:42:28 +0200 From: Carlos Ramisch Message-ID: X-url: http://multiword.sf.net/mwe2010 X-url: http://www.coling-2010.org/SubmissionGuideline.htm ================================================================= FINAL Call for Paper Submissions COLING 2010 Workshop on Multiword Expressions: from Theory to Applications (MWE 2010) http://multiword.sf.net/mwe2010 endorsed by the Special Interest Group on the Lexicon of the Association for Computational Linguistics (SIGLEX) Beijing, China ***Submission deadline: May 30, 2010 at 23:59 (GMT-7)*** ================================================================= Multiword Expressions (MWEs) are a ubiquitous component of natural languages and appear steadily on a daily basis, both in specialized and in general-purpose communication. While easily mastered by native speakers, their interpretation poses a major challenge for automated analysis due to their flexible and heterogeneous nature. Therefore, the automated processing of MWEs is desirable for any natural language application that involves some degree of semantic interpretation, e.g., Machine Translation, Information Extraction, and Question Answering. In spite of the recent advances in the field, there is a wide range of open problems that prevent MWE treatment techniques from full integration in current NLP systems. In MWE'2010, we will be interested in major challenges in the overall process of MWE treatment, asking for original research related but not limited to the following topics: * MWE resources: Although underused in most current state-of-the-art approaches, resources are key for developing real-world applications capable of interpreting MWEs. We call for papers describing the process of building MWE resources, constructed both manually and automatically from text corpora; we are also interested in assessing the usability of such resources in various MWE tasks. * Hybrid approaches: We invite research on integrating heterogeneous MWE treatment techniques and resources in NLP applications. Such hybrid approaches can aim, for example, at the combination of results from symbolic and statistical approaches, at the fusion of manually built and automatically extracted resources, or at the design of language learning techniques. * Domain adaptation: Real-world NLP applications need to be robust to deal with texts coming from different domains. We thus call for papers assessing the performance of MWE methods across domains or describing domain adaptation techniques for MWEs. * Multilingualism: Parallel and comparable corpora are gaining popularity as a resource for automatic MWE discovery and treatment. We are also interested in the integration of MWE processing in multilingual applications such as machine translation and multilingual information retrieval, as well as in porting existing monolingual MWE approaches to new languages. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We invite submissions of original and unpublished work as full papers. All submissions must follow the format of COLING 2010 proceedings, available at http://www.coling-2010.org/SubmissionGuideline.htm. We strongly advise the use of the provided Word or LaTeX template files. Full papers should not exceed eight (8) pages for the content, with one (1) extra page for references, thus the total lenght should not exceed nine pages (9) inclusive of references. Reviewing will be double-blind, and thus no author information should be included in the papers; self-reference should be avoided as well. Submission will be electronic in PDF format through the workshop START system, available soon at https://www.softconf.com/coling2010/mwe2010/. The papers must be submitted no later than May 30, 2010 at 23:59 PDT (GMT-7). No deadline extensions will be granted. Submitted papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings and will be presented orally.

Technologies, methodologies and standards converge toward full operational capabilities by being service oriented, with a focus on statelessness, low coupled, modular, and semantic interoperable. In this context the issues related to the quality of data and process representation are crucial, as it is required to deal with data that are valuable, expressive, shareable e and manipulable at the same time. In this context the role of good quality ontology (i.e. good quality conceptualizations, encoded in portable and extensible format) acquires more and more relevance. This workshop aims to focus on content issues, such as methodologies and tools concerned with modeling good ontologies, approaches to ontology content evaluation, quality measures, ontology content management (e.g. metadata, libraries, and registration), ontology documentation, etc. The workshop also aims to give a special attention to ontology content issues in: Business, human resources and employment, healthcare and life sciences, and Web 3.0. We welcome papers and (past/planned) project descriptions that discuss ontology aspects, particularly: Research papers presenting theoretical solutions, but with a clear illustration on how these solutions can be applied in industry. Position papers presenting opinions on some aspect of ontology practice, or describing work that is still in progress, but sufficiently mature to warrant attention. Business experience and case studies specifying requirements, challenges, or opportunities of modeling and applying ontologies in industry. Topics Methodology and Engineering Modeling and engineering methodologies. Ontology design patterns. Ontological usability and usefulness. Ontology metadata, and libraries. Ontology interoperability. Ontology reusability. Ontology evolution and versioning. Methodologies for consensus reaching. Ontology tools. Good, best, and bad practices Experiences/empirical results on ontology management. Towards Web 3.0 Lessons from Web 2.0 for ontology engineering. Participatory and evolutionary approaches to ontology engineering. Lightweight ontology formalisms (e.g., SKOS) and microformats. Conflict resolution and self-adaptation in ad hoc networks. Experiences on lightweight vs. heavy-weight ontologies. Semantic distance and similarity. Semantics in sensor networks. e-Governance Ontology Legal/legislation ontologies. Local government ontologies. Location ontology (real-estate). Person/Identity ontology. Ontologies for digital certificates. Ontologies for digital libraries. Ontologies for public utilities. Ontologies for emergence management. Ontologies for healthcare and life science. Ontologies for modeling business process. Ontologies for business process analysis Ontologies for supply chains management. Ontologies for risk analysis. Ontology enabled service orchestration. Submissions We invite (A) Research papers describing original studies of no more than 10 pages; (B) Position papers presenting opinions or work in progress of no more than 6 pages; and (C) Business experience and case studies of no more than 8 pages. All submitted papers will be evaluated by at least three members of the program committee, based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Detailed formatting instructions can be found at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html The final proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as LNCS.

Dans un tel modèle, la connaissance lexicale est représentée sous forme d'un graphe où les lexies - nœuds du graphe - sont connectées entre elles par un ensemble potentiellement très riche de liens significatifs - arcs du graphe. Toute lexie L sémantiquement pleine peut contrôler deux types majeurs de liens lexicaux. 1. Les liens paradigmatiques unissent L à d'autres lexies qui entretiennent avec elle une relation sémantique forte. Il s'agit, par exemple, de synonymes, antonymes, conversifs, nominalisations, verbalisations, etc. 2. Les liens syntagmatiques unissent L à d'autres lexies (ou à des syntagmes) avec lesquelles elle forme des collocations - c'est-à-dire, des expressions phraséologisées, mais compositionnelles, du type « pousser un cri », « poser une question », « sommeil lourd »... Il s'agit donc de liens vers des verbes supports, des intensificateurs, etc. La Lexicologie Explicative et Combinatoire ou LEC (Mel'čuk et al. 1995), la branche lexicale de la théorie Sens-Texte, a développé un outil formel servant à modéliser les liens lexicaux paradigmatiques et syntagmatiques qui se manifestent de façon récurrente dans les langues : il s'agit du système des fonctions lexicales standard. Ce dernier a été utilisé de façon méthodique en lexicologie théorique et descriptive (Mel'čuk et al. 1984, 1988, 1992,1999 ; Fontenelle 1997 ; Polguère 2009). Le sujet de thèse proposé vise à examiner la structure relationnelle des lexiques lorsque celle-ci est modélisée sur la base du système des fonctions lexicales. Il s'agira, d'une part, de trouver une représentation optimale formelle d'un graphe lexical tissé par les fonctions lexicales Sens-Texte et, d'autre part, d'en examiner les propriétés formelles et d'exploiter l'éclairage qu'il peut apporter sur l'organisation du lexique des langues. La recherche, bien qu'à visée avant tout théorique, inclura une expérimentation menée sur le lexique du français, dans la continuité des travaux déjà réalisés dans le cadre de la LEC. Enjeux scientifiques -------------------- La problématique de la construction de lexiques formels occupe une place de plus en plus importante en linguistique et en traitement automatique des langues (TAL). On remarque que les structures de données utilisées pour construire et étudier de tels lexiques s'éloignent de plus en plus de la structure « textuelle » qui est celle des dictionnaires - y compris les dictionnaires électroniques -, pour se rapprocher de véritables structures de graphes - voir, par exemple, WordNet (Fellbaum 1998), FrameNet (Baker et al. 2003) ou les Petits Mondes Lexicaux (Gaume 2004). S'il existe des raisons pratiques pour s'orienter vers des modèles lexicaux du type graphes, raisons liées notamment à la plus grande calculabilité de ces modèles, il existe aussi des raisons théoriques profondes, liées à la nature relationnelle de la connaissance lexicale (Aitchison 2003). Profil du candidat ------------------ Le candidat devra avoir un solide bagage en linguistique formelle et manifester de l'intérêt pour le problème de l'interaction entre les deux composantes structurales majeures de la langue : le lexique et la grammaire (sémantique, syntaxe de dépendance, morphologie, phonologie). Une formation additionnelle en informatique ou en théorie des graphes est un atout certain. La langue de travail peut être le français ou l'anglais. Modalités de soumission d'une candidature ----------------------------------------- 1. Il faut envoyer un CV au directeur de thèse LE PLUS TÔT POSSIBLE (avant le 18 juin 2010). Ce dernier aidera le candidat à préparer un prédossier, qui doit être soumis au Conseil de direction scientifique (CDS) de l'ATILF AVANT LE 21 JUIN 2010. 2. Le dossier complet de candidature devra parvenir à l'École Doctorale « Langages, Temps, Sociétés » de Nancy 2 LE VENDREDI 25 JUIN 2010 À 12h au plus tard. Ce dossier doit comporter un CV détaillé, les relevés de notes (licence et master) et tout autre document jugé pertinent. 3. Les candidats à un contrat doctoral seront auditionnés par l'Écolde Doctorale le lundi 5 juillet 2010. Cette audition sera décisionnelle. Une audition de préparation par le CDS de l'ATILF est prévue une semaine avant, le lundi 28 juin 2010.

Please consider to contribute and/or forward to interested colleagues and groups. Call for Papers 1st Workshop on Aided Formalization of Business Rules and Policies FoBuR'2010 http://www.ontorule-project.eu/dissemination/events/fobur2010 co-located with EKAW 2010 11th - 15th October, Lisbon, Portugal In the Business Rules community and for the management of policies, many tools and methodologies are developed in order to assist the business users (e.g. Domain Experts, Business Analysts) in rules and policies formalization. The goal of this workshop is to draw the attention of the EKAW scientific community to this emerging research problem of which the business world is already aware. We will focus on two kinds of tools and methodologies aim at helping users in the formalization task: 1. Tools and methodologies for the acquisition of rules and models: some of these tools focus on (semi-)automatically identifying/extracting rules and models from textual policy documents but other sources of information can be exploited. In any case, it is of crucial importance to explicit the way acquisition is performed and to relate that methodology to the type of source that is exploited. It is also important to evaluate the proposed methodology. 2. Easy to use rules editors, that allow business users to edit and possibly update executable rules. Some of these tools rely on (controlled) natural language, which is an interesting option to consider. This workshop aim to bring together researchers from the Knowledge Engineering and Acquisition community and experts of Business Rules and Policies. Important dates 11 July 2010 - Submission deadline 8 August 2010 - Notification to authors 27 August 2010 - Camera ready version Topics of interest The topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: Bridging the gap between Business Users and Formalization methodologies Detection and extraction of Business Rules Natural Language Processing for Business Models acquisition Natural Language Tools for Rules and Ontologies authoring and formalization Use of rules standards by Business Users Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules Rule Interchange Format Submissions We welcome three types of papers: full papers - up to 10 pages. short papers - up to 5 pages. demo description - up to 2 pages. Formatting should follow the LNCS guidelines.

The correct application of methodologies already help guarantee some quality in the resulting ontology, although the quality offered by such methodologies has not, so far, been measured quantitative or qualitatively. There are no maturity models for the ontology building processes that might be used for this purpose. On the other hand, ontology design patterns play an important role in obtaining higher quality ontologies. In the last years, some international efforts have been put on defining such patterns for generic ontology building or oriented to particular domains, so knowing the best and worst practices would also contribute to get better ontologies. The objective of this workshop is to serve as a forum for sharing the most recent efforts and experiences in this area, disseminating the current best practices and discussing the directions that the field should take. Therefore, this workshop is oriented to any researcher or practitioner working or interested in the following areas: - reusing ontologies with informed decisions - methods and tools for evaluating the technical quality of ontologies - methods and tools for evaluating the quality of the content of ontologies - methods and tools for improving ontology construction processes - methods and tools for adapting and applying quality standards from other engineering fields to ontology evaluation - relevant dimensions of quality for domain and high-level ontologies in specific domains - methods and tools for evaluating the practical and social success of ontologies - best (and worst) practices in ontology building - improving the quality of ontologies through design patterns - experiences of quality evaluation in specific domains Important dates Submission: June 30th 2010 Notification: July, 25th 2010 Camera-ready deadline: September, 1st 2010 Contributions Paper submission and reviewing for this workshop will be electronic via EasyChair https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=ontoqual10. The papers should be written in English, follow Springer LNCS format http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0, and be submitted in PDF. Two types of submissions are accepted in this workshop: - short papers: up to 6 pages - regular papers: up to 12 pages Proceedings will be distributed to the participants during the workshop, and made available as CEUR proceedings after the workshop.

The already published volumes have been well recognized in the academic field of Language Contact studies and the international academic affiliations of the contributors, the thematic richness of the articles and the scientific quality may be interpreted as a confirmation of the journals success. JLC is in the fore in its domain on an international level and has received international attention. However, despite its recognition it received not enough publishing support. The attention of publishing house Brill in Leiden has, as a consequence of its international recognition, been attracted to the development of the journal. BRILL has contacted the editors and proposed to continue the publication and diffusion of the Journal of Language Contact one year ago. After examination of the offer and one year of negotiations the editors have finally accepted because the engagement and experience of BRILL will guarantee the continuity of the journal and provide the necessary publishing support, hosting and promotion—while the scientific independence will be left untouched. Although the future volumes of the journal will no longer be open access, a moderate pricing of has been agreed on. This will change: 1) One volume with two issues of JLC will appear per year as before. A distinction with the current practice is that most issues will be regular issues, but occasionally a thematic issue will be published which will be announced in advance. The number of pages will remain 350 pp. per year. 2) Starting from volume 4, JLC will be published online and in print, distributed under the terms of subscription of BRILL. 3) The mode of publication of the actual issues VARIA 3 and THEMA 3 (volume 3) is and will be still open access. All articles can be downloaded without charge as before. 4) All issues and articles up to volume 3 will remain open access and can be downloaded without charge as before. They will be however accessible under the new future domain and are hosted then on the new website of the journal at BRILL.

Patent Information Retrieval specialists in the 21st century face many challenges. They must search very large numbers of documents in multiple languages expressing complex technological concepts through sophisticated legal clauses. Despite a great deal of theoretical development in Information Retrieval techniques, advanced search tools for patent professionals, be they patent searchers in national patent offices, patent lawyers, or members of a corporate IP department, are still in their infancy. It is therefore necessary to foster the exchange of ideas between IR and IP professionals, in order to speed up the introduction of state-of-the-art research into day-to-day use. We encourage IP professionals to present their special information needs either through position papers or through examples of how a tool or set of tools fails to satisfy a search need. These kind of papers are particularly interested for both researchers in academia and the industry in order to focus their efforts on real issues that will have a significant impact for the_patent searcher. IR & KM researchers, from academia or industry, are invited to present relevant technical ideas, examples of which are described below in the Topics of Interest section. The Workshop also aims to promote the exchange of ideas on measuring the progress of system performance for retrieval tasks in the intellectual property domain. Topics of Interest ================== This workshop solicits two types of papers: "research/solutions" and "IP/needs" papers. Suggested topics for "research/solutions" papers include, but are not limited to: * Cross-lingual information retrieval * Patent classification * Ontology-based retrieval * Latent Semantic Analysis * Information retrieval evaluation * Evaluation frameworks * Test collections * Large-scale information retrieval experiments * Parallel and distributed information retrieval * Ranking strategies * Query validation and query quality analysis * Query expansion * Interactive retrieval * Session-based information retrieval * User modeling * Handling of noisy data (OCR/spelling/typing errors) * XML retrieval * NLP / Natural Language Processing " IP/needs" papers shall present research challenges. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: * Patent search workflow * Patent search strategies * Information need of the patent researcher * Shortcomings of current patent search tools * Case studies * Challenges in patent search * Patent life cycle * Quality of patent data Keynote Speakers ================ - Mary Carman, CEO of the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, CA - IR keynote to be announced Important Dates =============== - Individual workshop papers due: June 30, 2010 - Notification of Acceptance: July 31, 2010 - Camera ready version: August 15, 2010 - Workshop date: October 26, 2010 Submission Guidelines ===================== The Workshop Committee encourages the submission of high quality research and industrial papers, which are not yet published or under consideration elsewhere, with special emphasis on Patent Information Retrieval methods. Research papers will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members of the international program committee. Manuscripts should be formatted using the ACM camera-ready templates (both for MS word and Latex) available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates . There are two styles on the website. Both the Strict Adherence to SIGS and the Tighter Alternate style are allowed. Papers cannot exceed 8 pages in length. A website with camera-ready instructions is available. Full papers should be submitted in PDF format to http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pair10 . Selected papers will be invited to provide an extended version to be edited in special issue of a journal. Authors of selected papers will be invited to present their work in course of a poster session. Note that these papers will be included in the proceedings.

Corbett (University of Surrey) CONFERENCE AIMS AND TOPICS The 29th International Conference on Lexis and Grammar will take place in Belgrade, Serbia, September 15 - 18, 2010. The Conference welcomes innovative papers on the formal description of languages, as well as on the construction, management and use of language resources, including manually constructed lexicons and grammars. In addition, it aims at bringing together linguists and computer scientists. The Conference will combine a general session and a thematic session. Submissions for the general session may address any of the topics of the Conference: - Lexis: lexical phenomena and their processing with special attention to possibility to formalize them for various purposes such as text analysis, multi-word units, processing of monolingual and multilingual corpora, etc. - Grammatical phenomena and their processing - The interface between lexis and grammar - Theoretical and methodological innovations concerning processing of lexis and grammar - Interlingual similarities and differences in the field of lexis and grammar (contrastive approach, aligned corpora, etc.) - exploitation of language resources (including manually constructed lexicons and grammars) for language processing (including parsing and natural language generation as well as applications such as, information retrieval, information extraction), The thematic session of the 29th International Conference on Lexis and Grammar is dedicated to the problem of ambiguity and its implications both in linguistics and natural language processing. Ambiguity is one of the main issues both in linguistics and NLP because: - it arises on the large scale in all languages; - the resolution of ambiguity is indispensable for humans to understand any message; - the resolution of ambiguity represents a preliminary step in automatic text processing that has to be done before any other application (analysis, machine translation, etc.). The articles that are dealing with following aspects of ambiguity would be welcome: - lexical, morphosyntactic and syntactic ambiguity, as well as ambiguity between frozen and non-frozen expressions; - the automatic treatment of ambiguity, since the number of tags assigned to a word form is proportional to its degree of ambiguity. SUBMISSION AND DATES Authors are asked to send their extended abstracts anonymously by e-mail with the title of the paper, name(s) and affiliation included in the body of the message. Abstracts should not exceed six pages (including data, diagrams and references) formatted with one-inch (2.5 cm) margins on all sides, 1.5 line spacing with text in Times New Roman 12-point type. Submissions should be sent both as PDF and MS-Word attachments to the following e-mail address: lgc2010_at_matf.bg.ac.rs Notification: The authors are notified of the result in a message including the comments from the reviewers. These comments are sent to authors to help them prepare their presentation or understand the assessment of their submission. Guidelines for final submissions will be sent to authors with the notification. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings (hard copy, with ISBN number). A selection of the papers presented at the conference will be published in a special volume of the journal Infotheca.. Important dates: - Submission deadline: June 6, 2010 - Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2010 - Final version (max. 8 pages, bibliographical references included): August 1, 2010 - Conference: September 15-18, 2010 CONFERENCE SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Andrée Borillo (Univ.

La phraséologie : perspective théorique et descriptive Igor Mel'čuk (OLST, Département de linguistique et de traduction, Université de Montréal) Dans ma présentation, j'aborderai la notion de phraséologie selon deux angles complémentaires et indissociables : 1) la caractérisation théorique de la notion et 2) le problème de sa modélisation lexicographique. Je procèderai en 4 étapes. 1. Caractérisation des phrasèmes en tant que syntagmes non libres. 2. Identification de quatre classes de phrasèmes, réparties en deux grandes familles : (i) phrasèmes compositionnels : pragmatèmes, clichés et collocations ; (ii) phrasèmes non compositionnels : locutions. 3. Principes de description lexicographique des phrasèmes : locutions vs collocations, etc. 4. Fonctions lexicales. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Fri May 28 20:12:56 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Fri, 28 May 2010 22:12:56 +0200 Subject: Appel: MWE 2010, Final CFP (deadline Jun 06), COLING 2010 Message-ID: Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 12:23:31 -0300 From: Aline Villavicencio Message-ID: X-url: http://multiword.sf.net/mwe2010 X-url: http://www.coling-2010.org/SubmissionGuideline.htm ================================================================= FINAL Call for Paper Submissions ***Submission deadline extended!*** Jun 06, 2010 at 23:59 (GMT-7) COLING 2010 Workshop on Multiword Expressions: from Theory to Applications (MWE 2010) http://multiword.sf.net/mwe2010 endorsed by the Special Interest Group on the Lexicon of the Association for Computational Linguistics (SIGLEX) Beijing, China ================================================================= Multiword Expressions (MWEs) are a ubiquitous component of natural languages and appear steadily on a daily basis, both in specialized and in general-purpose communication. While easily mastered by native speakers, their interpretation poses a major challenge for automated analysis due to their flexible and heterogeneous nature. Therefore, the automated processing of MWEs is desirable for any natural language application that involves some degree of semantic interpretation, e.g., Machine Translation, Information Extraction, and Question Answering. In spite of the recent advances in the field, there is a wide range of open problems that prevent MWE treatment techniques from full integration in current NLP systems. In MWE'2010, we will be interested in major challenges in the overall process of MWE treatment, asking for original research related but not limited to the following topics: * MWE resources: Although underused in most current state-of-the-art approaches, resources are key for developing real-world applications capable of interpreting MWEs. We call for papers describing the process of building MWE resources, constructed both manually and automatically from text corpora; we are also interested in assessing the usability of such resources in various MWE tasks. * Hybrid approaches: We invite research on integrating heterogeneous MWE treatment techniques and resources in NLP applications. Such hybrid approaches can aim, for example, at the combination of results from symbolic and statistical approaches, at the fusion of manually built and automatically extracted resources, or at the design of language learning techniques. * Domain adaptation: Real-world NLP applications need to be robust to deal with texts coming from different domains. We thus call for papers assessing the performance of MWE methods across domains or describing domain adaptation techniques for MWEs. * Multilingualism: Parallel and comparable corpora are gaining popularity as a resource for automatic MWE discovery and treatment. We are also interested in the integration of MWE processing in multilingual applications such as machine translation and multilingual information retrieval, as well as in porting existing monolingual MWE approaches to new languages. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We invite submissions of original and unpublished work as full papers. All submissions must follow the format of COLING 2010 proceedings, available at http://www.coling-2010.org/SubmissionGuideline.htm . We strongly advise the use of the provided Word or LaTeX template files. Full papers should not exceed eight (8) pages for the content, with one (1) extra page for references, thus the total lenght should not exceed nine pages (9) inclusive of references. Reviewing will be double-blind, and thus no author information should be included in the papers; self-reference should be avoided as well. Submission will be electronic in PDF format through the workshop START system, available soon at https://www.softconf.com/coling2010/mwe2010/ . The papers must be submitted no later than May 30, 2010 at 23:59 PDT (GMT-7). No deadline extensions will be granted. Submitted papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings and will be presented orally.

Un nouveau champ de recherche s’est rapidement constitué autour d’équipes déjà nombreuses visant, avec des objectifs divers, l’étude d’opinions émises sur des entités variées (produits, comportements…) à l’aide de méthodes et de techniques non moins diversifiées. En témoignent, entre autres, l’apparition de nombreux ateliers et les récentes campagnes d’évaluation en fouille d’opinions FODOP’08, DEFT’07, DEFT’09, NTCIR6. Pourtant, les travaux actuels n’arrivent à capturer que partiellement les phénomènes subjectifs visés. Ces derniers recouvrent des significations riches et diversifiées ; leurs multiples formes d’expression, approchées le plus souvent par le lexique, demandent à être décrites également à différents niveaux de granularité en tenant compte des genres, des domaines et des pratiques (énoncés stéréotypés ou s’écartant de la « norme », constructions dédiées, lexiques à l’axiologie instable…). Une autre limite de ces travaux provient d’une compréhension et d’une caractérisation insuffisantes de ces notions et des critères permettant de les décrire. Quand on choisit de se focaliser (comme cela est fait fréquemment) sur la simple attribution d’une polarité (positive /négative /neutre) à un document entier, les résultats ne sont effectivement exploitables que dans des cadres relativement restreints. Manquent alors de nombreuses informations indispensables à l’analyse requise, par exemple dans un processus de veille ou d’aide à la décision : l’objet évalué (la cible), le type sémantique et l’intensité du jugement, l’émetteur ou le porteur (la source) du jugement, le degré d’adhésion ou d’engagement face à ce jugement… L’adéquation est, en somme, encore faible entre les réalisations actuelles, les usages possibles et les besoins d’analystes humains. Parmi les problèmes restant ouverts à ce jour, il en est un qui concerne l’intégration de ces analyses au sein d’une chaîne de traitement documentaire. Comment ces informations, par nature composites et généralement disséminées sur une multitude de documents, peuvent-elles être intégrées, agrégées, pour permettre leur exploitation ? Si elles sont datées, comment évoluent-elles au fil du temps ? Quel type de synthèse peut être fournie à l’utilisateur ? Ces problématiques renvoient à des enjeux économiques et sociaux réels, notamment en matière de veille économique, de veille d’image, de mise en place d’observatoires politiques. Il convient de faire un tour d’horizon pour cerner l’étendue et la variété de ce qui a déjà été entrepris et l’effort qui reste à accomplir. Au moins quatre points de vue sont envisageables : (i) la modélisation de la gestion des connaissances (qu'est-ce qu'une « opinion », comment la représenter informatiquement ?) ; (ii) l'expression en langue et en discours (comment les opinions, sous leurs différentes facettes, sont-elles formulées ?) ; (iii) les méthodes pour identifier automatiquement opinions et sentiments dans des documents textuels ou audiovisuels, et (iv) la présentation synthétique de la diversité des opinions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Objet et thèmes L'objet de ce numéro spécial de TAL est de faire le point sur les progrès récents en matière d’analyse et de traitement des opinions, des sentiments et des jugements d’évaluation.

The deadline is coming up very soon. Please pass this on to anyone you think may be interested, thanks, Brian --------- Please see the posting below with details of a fully funded PhD position in computational neurolinguistics at the Centre for Mind/Brain Sciences, University of Trento, Italy. This is a challenging interdisciplinary project, using machine learning methods to integrate data from neural recordings, from web-scale language corpora, and from behavioural experiments, and so to arrive at a better understanding of word semantics. The project may involve co-operation with international partners (Carnegie Mellon U, Cambridge University, Tokyo Tech). Programming ability is essential, and further experience with one or more of the following desirable: - theoretical linguistics/semantics - psychology of concepts/semantic memory - computational linguistics - computational neuroscience - signal processing - neuroimaging technologies (EEG, MEG, fMRI) - experimental psychology The deadline for applications is the 8th of June. CIMeC is an interdisciplinary centre for neurocognitive research led by Alfonso Caramazza. The centre is located in Rovereto, in the heart of the Italian Dolomite Alps. The scholarship includes full fees and living allowance. ------------------- PHD POSITION IN COMPUTATIONAL NEUROLINGUISTICS A PhD position in Computational Neurolinguistics (Conceptual Representations) will be available at the Language Interaction and Computation Lab (CLIC) starting in late 2010 or early 2011. http://clic.cimec.unitn.it/ The successful candidate will work as part of a larger project whose objective is to combine empirical data of different types (corpus co-occurrence patterns, elicitation experiments, neuroimaging data) to arrive at a better understanding of the organisation of conceptual knowledge in the mind and brain. Your task will be to continue ongoing work which uses machine learning and data-mining methods to extract conceptual representations from recordings of neural activity (EEG, MEG and fMRI). Ideally the candidate should have knowledge of both computational linguistic techniques (particularly distributional models of meaning), and experimental design (elicitation/behavioural). Programming skills are a must, and experience with neuroimaging techniques, machine learning and signal processing would be a plus. The Language Interaction and Computation Lab (CLIC) is a unit of the University of Trento's Centre for Mind/Brain Sciences (www.cimec.unitn.it) or CIMEC: an interdisciplinary Centre for the research in brain and cognition including neuroscientists, psychologists, (computational) linguists, computational neuroscientists, and physicists. CLIC consists of researchers from the Departments of Computer Science and Cognitive Science carrying out research on a range of topics, including concept acquisition and information extraction from very large multi-modal corpora, combining brain data and data from corpora to study cognition, and methods of theoretical linguistics. The normal course of PhD study in Italy is three years, with possibility of extension, and includes courses at the CIMeC Doctoral School (portale.unitn.it/drcimec/). There are no tuition fees, and the position includes a fellowship to cover living expenses.

The 7th International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation will take place in Paris, France on 2-3 December 2010. === Scientific Papers The IWSLT invites submissions of scientific papers to be published in the workshop proceedings and presented in dedicated technical sessions of the workshop, either in oral or poster form. The workshop welcomes high quality contributions covering theoretical and practical issues in the field of machine translation (MT), in general, and spoken language translation (SLT), including Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Text-to-Speech Synthesis (TTS) and MT, in particular. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Speech and text MT - Integration of ASR and MT - MT and SLT approaches - MT and SLT evaluation - Language resources for MT and SLT - Open source software for MT and SLT - Pivot-language-based MT - Adaptation in MT - Simultaneous speech translation - Efficiency in MT - Stream-based algorithms for MT - Multilingual ASR and TTS Submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by three members of the workshop program committee. Authors of accepted papers are requested to present their paper at the workshop. === Evaluation Campaign IWSLT evaluations are not organized for the sake of competition, but their goal is to foster cooperative work and scientific exchange. In this respect, IWSLT proposes challenging research tasks and an open experimental infrastructure for the scientific community working on spoken and written language translation. This year, the IWSLT evaluation campaign will offer three tasks: - public speeches (TALK) on a variety of topics, from English to French (NEW CHALLENGE), - spoken dialogues (DIALOG) in travel situations, between Chinese and English, - traveling expressions (BTEC), from Arabic, Turkish, and French to English. For each task, monolingual and bilingual language resources will be provided to participants in order to train their translation systems, as well as sets of manual and automatic speech transcripts (with n-best and lattices) and reference translations, allowing researchers working only on written language translation to also participate. Moreover, blind test sets will be released and all translation outputs produced by the participants will be evaluated using several automatic translation quality metrics. Human assessment will be carried out for the translation of spoken dialogues and basic travel expressions. The goal of this year's new challenge (translation of public speeches) will be to establish reference baselines and appropriate evaluation protocols for future evaluations. As a consequence, although an evaluation server will be set-up to compute several translation accuracy metrics, there will be no official ranking of participants published by the organizers for this task. Each participant in the evaluation campaign is requested to submit a paper describing the MT system, the utilized resources, and results using the provided test data. Contrastive run submissions using only the bilingual resources provided by IWSLT as well as investigations of the contribution of each utilized resource are highly appreciated. Results feedback will be provided by the organizers a few days after the run submissions. Finally, all participants are requested to present their papers describing their MT systems at the workshop. === Important Dates Evaluation Campaign: - Training corpus release 28 May 2010 - Test corpus release 23 August 2010 - Run submissions due (DIALOG, BTEC) 6 September 2010 - Run submissions due (TALK) 30 September 2010 - MT system description due 14 October 2010 - Notification of acceptance 29 October 2010 - Camera-ready paper due 10 November 2010 Scientific Papers: - Paper submission due 4 September 2010 - Notification of acceptance 16 October 2010 - Camera-ready paper due 10 November 2010 === Organizers IWSLT Steering Committee: - Alex Waibel (CMU, USA / Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany) - Marcello Federico (FBK-irst, Italy) - Satoshi Nakamura (NICT, Japan) Chairs: * Workshop: - Alex Waibel (CMU, USA / KIT, Germany) - Joseph Mariani (LIMSI-CNRS & IMMI, France) * Evaluation Committee: - Michael Paul (NICT, Japan) - Marcello Federico (FBK-irst, Italy) * Program Committee: - Ian Lane (CMU, USA) - François Yvon (LIMSI-CNRS/U.

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: 1. 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)? 2. 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? 3. 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? 4. 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 workshop: 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.

Au niveau du TAL, les méthodes d'analyse automatique du contenu textuel pour l'extraction d'information s'appuient sur des ressources élaborées manuellement et sont dédiées à un type de corpus spécifique. L'acquisition automatique de ces ressources par des méthodes d'apprentissage automatique et de fouille de textes pour prendre en compte la diversité des corpus et leur évolution est une voie prometteuse. L'idée consiste à tirer parti de la capacité des méthodes de fouille à faire émerger des régularités et des motifs sur des données volumineuses. Cependant, si les méthodes actuelles sont bien adaptées aux données structurées, elles ne peuvent être appliquées directement sur des textes par nature non structurés. Il faut donc intégrer les spécificités de la langue aux systèmes de fouille, ce qui consistera à : - concevoir des méthodes pour la création et l'enrichissement de corpus d'apprentissage : il existe des données textuelles d'apprentissage fournis par la communauté ou par les organisateurs de compétitions en fouille de textes (défis BioCreative ou Deft par exemple). Mais ces données ne sont pas utilisables telles quelles par les solveurs de fouille : en effet, un ensemble de pré-traitements linguistiques est nécessaire. Cela suppose la conception et la réalisation de nouvelles méthodes, comme par exemple la segmentation d'unités textuelles à prendre en compte pour la fouille, ou encore l'enrichissement des textes par des annotations de différents ordres (morpho-syntaxique, lexical, sémantique,...) - guider la fouille : il s'agit d'intégrer les spécificités du texte et une modélisation linguistique au sein du processus de fouille, notamment en formalisant la notion de ``contraintes linguistiques''. En effet, l'extraction de motifs sous contraintes est une solution à l'un des principaux problèmes posés par les méthodes de recherche de motifs fréquents, à savoir le grand nombre de motifs généralement produits. L'intégration de contraintes linguistiques au sein des processus de fouille permettra dans ce cadre de pouvoir sélectionner les motifs qui sont pertinents pour les systèmes de TAL et conduira à adapter les algorithmes de fouille, ou à en développer de nouveaux. Un prolongement du travail consistera à généraliser l'approche à un niveau discursif. Cet axe sera initié par la découverte de patrons de modalité. Ce problème soulève les questions de découverte de patrons linguistiques convoyant des relations (modales) portant sur des relations (e.g. relation entre entités nommées), et de la prise en compte de la portée de l'opérateur. Puis, l'objectif est de concevoir et développer des méthodes de fouilles adaptées à l'analyse discursive. Un des enjeux majeurs est la découverte de motifs considérant plusieurs niveaux de granularité dans un document : la granularité est une notion centrale en analyse du discours, elle permet aussi d'appréhender le texte selon plusieurs points de vue. Ce travail s'inscrit dans une approche à plus long terme où il s'agit de dégager des dimensions structurelles sur les données comme par exemple leur séquentialité, leur granularité, leur structuration (e.g., XML, graphes) pour produire des méthodes de fouille reposant sur ces dimensions et non liées à la représentation classique (proche de la structure physique) des données. Cadre de travail --------------- Ce travail s'inscrit dans le prolongement de deux projets soutenus par l'ANR : le projet Annodis sur l'annotation discursive, la production de corpus et d'outils d'aide à l'annotation et le projet Bingo2 (http://bingo2.greyc.fr/) sur la conception et la réalisation de méthodes génériques en fouille de données et de textes. Le sujet proposé bénéficiera donc de la complémentarité de ces deux projets (le premier étant plus axé sur les méthodes de traitement automatique de la langue, le deuxième sur la fouille de données mais en traitant la problématique de l'extraction d'information dans les texte biologiques) et des collaborations avec les différents laboratoires impliqués. En complément, ce travail s'appuie sur les compétences du GREYC et les premiers résultats obtenus [1], [2], [3] sur le croisement des deux disciplines -- fouille de données et traitement automatique des langues --.

As a web platform ( http://labh-curien.univ-st-etienne.fr/zulu/ ), Zulu allows users to generate tasks, to interact with the Oracle in learning sessions and to record the results of the users. The users are provided with: - a baseline algorithm written in JAVA and/or - the elements allowing to build from scratch a new learning algorithm capable of interacting with the server. The baseline is a variation of Algorithm L* with some sampling done to simulate equivalence queries. As a starting point, the users can therefore play with some simple JAVA code, and easily explore all aspects of Zulu. Schedule: - Now: Zulu platform is open, anyone may register, develop and test their algorithms - June 1st: Official beginning of the competition - June 30th: Deadline for scoring, submissions closed - July 7th: Notifications of the results - July 15th: Deadline for submission of abstracts to the workshop - September 13-16th: workshop at ICGI (in Valencia, Spain, September 13-16, 2010, http://users.dsic.upv.es/workshops/icgi2010/ ) Prizes and publications: The winner of the Zulu competition will receive a prize of 1000 ?. Participants are encouraged to present their innovations as extended abstracts to the Zulu workshop that will be organised during ICGI. A journal special issue will also be considered.

One possible way around this problem is to interrogate an expert with a number of chosen queries, in an interactive mode, until a satisfying model is reached. In this case, an important indicator of success is the amount of energy the expert has spent in order for learning to be successful. A nice learning paradigm covering this situation is that of Query Learning, introduced by Dana Angluin. In the field of Grammatical Inference, Query Learning was thoroughly investigated to learn deterministic finite automata (DFA). As negative results, it was proved that DFA could not be learned from just a polynomial number of membership queries nor from just a polynomial number of strong equivalence queries. On the other hand, algorithm L* designed by Angluin, was proved to learn DFA from a polynomial number of both membership and equivalence queries. These results yield several successful applications in Robotics, Games and Agents Technologies, Information Retrieval, Hardware and Software Verification. In Zulu, the goal is to optimise the learning by trying to minimize the number of queries for a given task. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue May 4 20:00:19 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 4 May 2010 22:00:19 +0200 Subject: Job: Ingenieur en developpement d'applications, INRIA Nancy Grand Est Message-ID: Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2010 16:43:19 +0200 From: Claire.Gardent at loria.fr Message-ID: <4BD99B07.6050105 at loria.fr> Offre d'Emploi : Ing?nieur en d?veloppement d'applications INRIA Nancy Grand Est Contexte Le p?le TALC (Traitement automatique des langues et des connaissances) a pour mission de rendre accessible sur le Web (talc.loria.fr) les ressources (Lexiques, grammaires computationnelles, corpus), outils (segmenteurs en phrases ou en mots, reconnaisseurs d'entit?s nomm?es, etc) et syst?mes (analyseurs s?mantiques, plateforme de classification, syst?mes d'aide ? la d?cision) d?velopp?s par les chercheurs des ?quipes Calligramme, Talaris, Parole, Orpailleur, Read, Qgar et Kiwi du LORIA (www.loria.fr).

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 Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit /on or before /*/May 5, 2010/*, a 2-3 pages chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by */July 2, 2010/* about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by */September 1, 2010/*. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. *Publisher* This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the "Information Science Reference" (formerly Idea Group Reference), "Medical Information Science Reference," and "IGI Publishing" imprints.

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: * Reactive automata M. Crochemore, King's College London 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.

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Fri May 7 19:55:43 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Fri, 7 May 2010 21:55:43 +0200 Subject: Appel: BNAIC 2010 (Benelux Conference on AI) Message-ID: Date: Fri, 7 May 2010 02:40:06 +0200 From: Richard Booth Message-ID: X-url: http://bnaic2010.uni.lu X-url: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bnaic2010 X-url: http://bnaic2010.uni.lu/instructions.html Apologies for multiple postings --------------- SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS: BNAIC 2010 BNAIC 2010 The 22nd Benelux Conference on Artificial Intelligence Luxembourg, October 25-26 2010 http://bnaic2010.uni.lu Organised by: Computer Science and Communication Research Unit (CSC), University of Luxembourg Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), University of Luxembourg Centre de Recherche Public Henri Tudor Introduction BNAIC is an international scientific conference for research in Artificial Intelligence.

Submissions are not restricted to works presented at the workshop. General information ------------------- Hybrid logic is an extension of modal logic which allows us to refer explicitly to states of the model in the syntax of formulas. Developed in the last fifteen years or so, Hybrid logic is now a mature field on its own with significant impact on a range of other fields. Submissions ----------- The post-proceedings volume editors welcome original high-quality contributions on hybrid logic and applications that have not been published or submitted elsewhere. The scope is not only standard hybrid-logical machinery like nominals, satisfaction operators, and the downarrow binder but, more generally, extensions of modal logic that increase its expressive power. Please use the HyLo 2010 submission page to submit papers (https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=hylo2010). Use the submission category "Additional papers". Papers should not exceed 17 pages including references. Authors must prepare their submissions according to the ENTCS guidelines (http://www.entcs.org).

Deulofeu Claire Blanche-Benveniste est n?e ? Lyon le 15 janvier 1935, dans une famille o? une double tradition Ashkenase, par sa m?re, et Sepharade, par son p?re, l'avait vue grandir aux accents m?l?s du russe, du yiddish, du grec, du jud?o espagnol, du turc, du portugais. Mosa?que linguistique, magnifiquement d?crite dans un article ?crit beaucoup plus tard ? langue du m?t?que et langue du savant ?, o? ? la diversit? des langues s'ajoutait la diversit? de leurs usages : ber?euses de la ? nona ?, sa grand-m?re bien aim?e, mais aussi tradition savante de l'a?eul ?rudit dont on trouve la trace dans des textes de la Catalogne m?di?vale. Il n'y a pas ? chercher plus loin la source de son int?r?t pour l'apprentissage simultan? des langues et plus subtilement du d?vouement particulier avec lequel elle encadrait des ?tudiants qui avaient appris le fran?ais en Chine, en Cor?e, au Japon, en Afrique, ou aux Comores. C'est bien aussi dans la virtuosit? des joutes oratoires qui animaient sans nul doute cette foisonnante communaut? qu'il faut trouver la source ? la fois de son int?r?t passionn? pour la langue parl?e, mais aussi de la s?ret? de la connaissance intuitive qu'elle en avait. A ce merveilleux terrain, il fallait ajouter du savoir et de la m?thode pour que la fr?le adolescente heureusement pr?serv?e de l'extermination qui s'acharna sur sa communaut? devienne une ?tudiante rayonnante dont la rigueur, la puissance de travail et la cr?ativit? ?blouissait ses ma?tres et fascinait ses condisciples. Elle a donc acquis une solide formation en philologie m?di?vale en Langue d'o?l comme en langue d'OC (c'?tait aussi une sp?cialiste de l'Ancien Proven?al) sous la direction des ma?tres les plus exigeants, parmi lesquels Jean Bouti?re ou Robert-L?on Wagner. Elle y a ajout? une ma?trise vite innovatrice des courants guillaumiens et structuralistes qui pr?dominaient dans la Sorbonne des ann?es 60 . Agr?g?e de Lettres Modernes, Dipl?m?e de l'Ecole pratique des hautes ?tudes, Docteur es-lettres de L'universit? Sorbonne Nouvelle, elle allait, ? partir de l?, construire une brillante carri?re universitaire. Apr?s un an pass? au Liban comme assistante o? elle a pris un contact charnel avec une m?diterran?e jusque l? r?v?e, elle a occup? un poste d'Assistante ? Lyon, puis ? la Sorbonne, pour terminer au grade de Professeur ? la Classe Exceptionnelle ? l'Universit? de Provence, ? Aix-en-Provence. Elle y ?tait venue en 1964 , alors que la Sorbonne lui tendait les bras, ? l'appel et ? l'admiration r?ciproque de Jean Stefanini, pour former sous sa direction d'abord avec Andr? Chervel, puis avec d'autres espoirs de la linguistique fran?aise une ?quipe d'exception qui a jou? un r?le innovateur dans le d?veloppement de notre discipline. Vers la fin d'une carri?re exemplaire, elle a cumul? son poste avec une Direction d'Etudes ? l'Ecole Pratique des Hautes ?tudes de Paris. Elle a enfin ?t? nomm?e Professeur Em?rite ? l'Universit? de Provence en 2000. Elle ?tait Docteur honoris causa de l'Universit? de Leuven et a Pr?sid? la Soci?t? de Linguistique de Paris, pour la quelle elle a r?dig? quantit? de rigoureux compte rendus. Elle a ?t? invit?e ? plusieurs reprises ? donner des cours de linguistique fran?aise et g?n?rale dans les universit?s ?trang?res les plus prestigieuses des Etats-Unis, d'Europe et d'Am?rique latine, sans oublier Isra?l, o? elle contribuait ? maintenir l'excellence des ?tudes fran?aises, injustement menac?es, ? son avis, par des contraintes budg?taires locales et insuffisamment soutenues par la politique linguistique de la France. Autorit? reconnue dans son domaine, y compris par des coll?gues qui pouvaient ne pas partager ses points de vue, elle le fut d'abord par son talent p?dagogique que l'on retrouvait aussi dans sa grande ma?trise de l'expos? scientifique qu'il soit oral ou ?crit. Elle a ainsi dirig? un D?partement qui a form? plus de 60 th?sards, modestes ?tudiants de Lettres modernes ? leurs d?buts, dont plus de la moiti? continuent aujourd'hui son oeuvre comme Ma?tres de Conf?rences ou Professeurs dans des universit?s fran?aises et ?trang?res. Elle a ainsi pleinement assum?, sans d?magogie, le double h?ritage de l'?litisme r?publicain et de la d?mocratisation permise par la r?forme du syst?me universitaire issue des mouvements de Mai 1968. Comme savant, elle a ?crit ou dirig? huit livres : l'Orthographe, avec Andr? Chervel en 1969, dont le caract?re iconoclaste souleva de roboratives pol?miques, Pronom et syntaxe en 1984 avec Jos? Deulofeu et Karel Van den Eynde, Le fran?ais parl?: ?dition et transcription avec Colette Jeanjean en 1987, Le fran?ais parl? : ?tudes grammaticales en 1990 avec ses ?tudiants docteurs, Recueil de textes de fran?ais parl? en 1995, avec Fr?d?ric Sabio et Christine Rouget, Approches de la langue parl?e en 1997, qui sont autant de r?f?rences dans le domaine, Eurom 4 en 2003 avec entre autres Andr? Valli et un huiti?me en cours de publication, Le fran?ais, Usages de la langue parl?e, en collaboration avec Philippe Martin. Ces ouvrages synth?tisent la mati?re de plus de cent cinquante articles publi?s sous son nom ou en collaboration, caract?ris?s par la finesse de l'intuition linguistique, l'intelligence et la profondeur de l'argumentation. Elle a, de plus , con?u et dirig? la revue Recherches sur le Fran?ais Parl?, qui a ?t? la seule ? diffuser cette ligne de recherches de 1979 ? 2001. A partir de cette sp?cialit?, dont elle avait ?t? une des tout premi?res ? comprendre l'int?r?t pour le d?veloppement de la science linguistique - au point que la recherche sur la langue parl?e est aujourd'hui un domaine largement explor? tant par les th?oriciens du langage que par les praticiens de son traitement automatique - elle a, ? l'?cart de la recherche institu?e, mais au fil de rencontres o? son pouvoir de s?duction et de conviction forgeaient de solides et enthousiastes collaborations, ?tendu son activit? ? d'autres domaines de la linguistique : l'acquisition du langage et de l'?criture , la prosodie, la langue des signes, la sociolinguistique et enfin un domaine o? enjeu politique et th?orique se rencontrent : l'enseignement simultan? de langues voisines, avec comme r?alisation concr?te la m?thode EuRoM 4, utilis?e dans de nombreuses universit?s en Europe pour enseigner simultan?ment quatre langues romanes. La France avait reconnu ces ?minents services en la faisant Chevalier de la L?gion d'honneur. Mais les t?moignages de reconnaissance qu'elle pr?f?rait ?taient sans nul doute ceux que lui apportaient les nombreux visiteurs, anciens ?tudiants, coll?gues ou simplement amis, qu'elle accueillait avec une chaleureuse ?l?gance dans son jardin d'Aix-en Provence, o? elle a fini sa vie parmi les fleurs que le Printemps venait d'y faire ?clore. Claire Blanche Benveniste est morte le 29 avril ? Aix-en-Provence. Voir aussi : http://www.lemonde.fr/carnet/article/2010/05/07/claire-blanche-benveniste-linguiste_1348114_3382.html Henri-Jos?

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 via the EasyChair system, using a prescribed form that is available 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.

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 via the EasyChair system, using a prescribed form that is available 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.

As a result, the scientific and industrial communities have gained access to an increasing number of ontologies and terminologies. For instance, within the biomedical area, several dozens of orthogonal or generic ontologies and terminologies are currently available thanks to the OBO [1] (Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies) or UMLS [2] initiatives: the objective is to make them interoperable and hence reusable. The usage of an ontology or terminology is often characterized by several factors between which we would name: application, scientific or technical domain, language of data and of documents to be processed, user profile, etc. All of them influence the content and organization of the semantic resources (terminologies and ontologies). Exploitation of these resources in this original context ensures their optimal use and results. We assume that reuse of such resources implies that at least one of the designing factors is modified: application, user, domain ... Hence, the reuse implies also that an adaptation of ontologies and terminologies is performed. This process appears to be necessary in order to guarantee an optimized exploitation of the reused ontologies and terminologies. OBJECTIVES Further to recent evolution of the knowledge engineering area and to emergence of new context related to the reuse and adaptation of ontologies and terminologies, several questions have arised [3,4] and still arise. We propose to address them in this workshop and encourage submissions on topics related to questions such as: - Which areas have developed and currently provide freely available ontologies and terminologies? - Are these ontologies and terminologies specific to a given application, sub-domain or rather generic and descriptive of the area? - At which extend the existing ontologies and terminologies may be reused? - Whether the existing ontologies can be adapted to new purposes? - Is their adaptation a suitable process? - Is their adaptation less expensive than the designing of new ontologies? - What knowledge elements can be reused: terms, concepts, relations, roles, definitions ...? - Are terminologies more easily reusable than ontologies? - What methods and principles should be exploited for the adaptation and reuse of the existing ontologies? - How the mapping of ontologies may be helpful for their reuse? - Which role play corpora in adaptation of terminologies and ontologies? - Are Natural Language Processing methods helpful in the process of adaptation of terminologies and ontologies? If they are, which of them prove to be suitable? - ... This workshop may also be concerned with questions related to managing of the evolution of ontologies and their versioning [5,6] and to analysis of evolution of their content (i.e., concept emergence, removal, abstraction or specialisation) [7], especially when combined with questions cited above. SUBMISSION PROCESS - Submissions should not exceed 8 pages and respect the EKAW format (formatted according to Springer Verlag LNCS guidelines) - Submissions will be in PDF format - Submissions will be sent to: ReuseOnto-EKAW2010 at listes.univ-paris13.fr IMPORTANT DATES - 01/07/2010: submissions due - 25/07/2010: notifications - 01/09/2010: final version of papers PLACE AND DATE OF THE WORKSHOP The workshop will be held with the main conference EKAW 2010 (http://ekaw2010.inesc-id.pt) in Lisbon, Portugal on 11th October-15th October 2010.

The deadline is at 31.05.2010 (May 31, 2010). Full paper submission is expected there is not preliminary short version proposal. It makes two weeks from now. The Workshop itself will be held in Wisla, Poland October 18-20, 2010. The CLA is located within the framework of the IMCSIT conference to create a dialog between researchers and practitioners involved in Computational Linguistics and related areas of Information Technology. http://CLA.imcsit.org CLA'10 Workshop is a place where the parties meet to exchange views and ideas with a benefit to all involved. The Workshop will focus on practical outcome of modeling human language use and the applications needed to improve human-machine interaction. Paper Topics This call is for papers that present research and developments on all aspects of Natural Language Processing used in real-life applications, such as (this list is not exhaustive): ambiguity resolution * anaphora resolution * applied CL software and systems * computational morphology * computational phonology * corpus annotation * corpus-based language modeling * creation of lexical resources * dialogue systems * emotions and personality modeling * entity recognition * extraction of linguistic knowledge from text corpora * information retrieval and information extraction * lexical resources * machine learning methods applied to language processing * machine translation and translation aids * multi-lingual dialogue systems * ontology and taxonomy evaluation * opinion mining and sentiment classification * paraphrasing and entailment * parsing issues * parts-of-speech tagging * proofing tools * prosody in dialogues * question answering * semantic networks and ontologies * semantic role labeling * semantic web * speech recognition and generation * summarization * text classification * text summarization * word sense disambiguation Paper Presentation The presentation of the paper has to include a demonstration of an existing tool. The papers should include a section describing the tool (or a prototype), which demonstrates the theory discussed in the paper. ========================================== Several good reasons to be there, in the order of their importance. 0) Why not? 1) CLA is organized for the third time in the scope of IMCSIT which is a multiconference gathering people from different fields of the IT&Computer Science. Paying for one you can attend a dozen of different seminars and workshops, including some of the fields close to the computational linguistics, like AIAA which is about the advances in AI. List of all events can be found at: http://www.imcsit.org/ 2) Apart from the scientists from all around the world you will also meet two hundredth or so Polish IT professionals. The annual gathering of PIPS (the society organizing both events) is taking place in parallel to IMCSIT under the same roof; social events are common for both. You can meet people who are kind of opinion leaders think-tank for Polish IT. It is always good to extend your network. 3) CLA is young yet growing fast. We have applied an inclusive model of building the Programme Committee, by inviting authors of the best papers to the PC of next year. If you'll be ranked above 4,4/5 we will be honored to have you in CLA '11 PC. Since the workshop is growing it may be useful for your academic career to deliver a really good paper. 4) Your paper will be reviewed by four reviewers; two from the academia and two from the industry. You will have to convince practitioners about the practical usefulness of your solution at the same time keeping proper level of the scientific part of it. Quite a challenge, but worth to be taken, we believe. 5) Poland seems to be interesting place nowadays as the only European country with the positive economy growth over last year, come and learn why. The area where a conference takes place belongs to the most picturesque parts of Polish mountains. The only thing we can not promise is the weather. At that period of the year it happens to be nice and in that case place looks really great, but sometimes it is awful. So trace the weather report on the conference page before you go. 6) If it will go wrong with the weather you do not have to go outside the venue at all. It is a huge hotel with SPA, swimming pools, saunas, salt baths a.s.o. There are also bars, restaurants, disco, bowling, gym, snooker. You name it. The long-lasting tradition of the conference is its great social spirit. If you are kind of shy, there will be a lot of occasions to socialize. If you do not need it, hotel is big enough to hide. 7) Price is moderate as for the scope of the event and the standard of the venue. We will publish price-list late July but it will definitely not exceed euro 700 for all. All means attendance, paper publication, breaks, gala diner, swimming pool access, three nights in the single room, three meals per day and social events. If you wish to make a trip we will assist you in arranging it. Krakow (Cracow, former Polish capital, the most "Italian" Polish city) and Oswiecim (where Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz was located) are in two hours drive distance from Wis?a. 8) Reaching Poland is easy. There are a lot of flights many of them operated by the budget lines. You should fly Katowice (KTW) but Krakow (KRK) will do as well. We will provide participants with transportation from Bielsko-Biala railway station (you can get there from Warsaw - WAW, by train). Well, eight reasons is a round number as for the IT/CS person, so if you are convinced please first look at the important dates: http://www.imcsit.org/pg/294/237 next check the papers from the previous years: http://www.imcsit.org/pg/334/263 learn about the papers' format: http://www.imcsit.org/pg/291/276 and deliver on time at: http://www.papers.imcsit.org/openconf.php CLA - where science meets reality! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue May 18 19:34:59 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 21:34:59 +0200 Subject: Seminaire: Christiane Fellbaum, MoDyCo , Paris Message-ID: Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 18:11:19 +0200 From: Jean-Luc Minel Message-ID: <4BEC24A7.9050106 at u-paris10.fr> * S?minaire de MoDyco (UMR 7114), de l'Ecole Doctorale 139 de l'Universit?

Fundamental to this process is the availability and application of a large body of world knowledge. While human language users easily supply implicit information, automatic systems are currently not equipped to draw even the most basic inferences from what is explicitly stated. In this talk, I will describe a sharable respository of machine-sensible world knowledge resulting from the targeted enrichment of the WordNet lexical resource. I describe two kinds of WordNet enhancements that move it closer to knowledge base. First, semantic typing of "morphosemantic links" allows the introduction of Semantic Roles linked to specific word senses. Second, semantic annotation of WordNet's 120,000 definitions and the generation of full, logical representations that include include semantic relations yield numerous connections among concepts that reveal implicit knowledge in text. All enhancements are evaluated and an outlook for future work is provided. Joint work with Anne Osherson, Peter Clark and Jerry Hobbs *2e expos? :* Delphine BATTISTELLI ( Universit?

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: * Reactive automata M. Crochemore, King's College London 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.

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue May 18 19:38:46 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 21:38:46 +0200 Subject: Appel: IWSLT'10 Message-ID: Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 18:51:40 +0200 From: Joseph Mariani Message-ID: <4BED7F9C.5070701 at limsi.fr> X-url: http://iwslt2010.fbk.eu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7th International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT 2010) First Call for Participants / Papers December 2-3, 2010 Paris, France http://iwslt2010.fbk.eu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT) is a yearly scientific workshop, associated with an open evaluation campaign on spoken language translation, where both scientific papers and system descriptions are presented. The 7th International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation will take place in Paris, France on 2-3 December 2010. === Scientific Papers The IWSLT invites submissions of scientific papers to be published in the workshop proceedings and presented in dedicated technical sessions of the workshop, either in oral or poster form. The workshop welcomes high quality contributions covering theoretical and practical issues in the field of machine translation (MT), in general, and spoken language translation (SLT), including Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Text-to-Speech Synthesis (TTS) and MT, in particular. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Speech and text MT - Integration of ASR and MT - MT and SLT approaches - MT and SLT evaluation - Language resources for MT and SLT - Open source software for MT and SLT - Pivot-language-based MT - Adaptation in MT - Simultaneous speech translation - Efficiency in MT - Stream-based algorithms for MT - Multilingual ASR and TTS Submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by three members of the workshop program committee. Authors of accepted papers are requested to present their paper at the workshop. === Evaluation Campaign IWSLT evaluations are not organized for the sake of competition, but their goal is to foster cooperative work and scientific exchange. In this respect, IWSLT proposes challenging research tasks and an open experimental infrastructure for the scientific community working on spoken and written language translation. This year, the IWSLT evaluation campaign will offer three tasks: - public speeches (TALK) on a variety of topics, from English to French (NEW CHALLENGE), - spoken dialogues (DIALOG) in travel situations, between Chinese and English, - traveling expressions (BTEC), from Arabic, Turkish, and French to English. For each task, monolingual and bilingual language resources will be provided to participants in order to train their translation systems, as well as sets of manual and automatic speech transcripts (with n-best and lattices) and reference translations, allowing researchers working only on written language translation to also participate. Moreover, blind test sets will be released and all translation outputs produced by the participants will be evaluated using several automatic translation quality metrics. Human assessment will be carried out for the translation of spoken dialogues and basic travel expressions. The goal of this year's new challenge (translation of public speeches) will be to establish reference baselines and appropriate evaluation protocols for future evaluations. As a consequence, although an evaluation server will be set-up to compute several translation accuracy metrics, there will be no official ranking of participants published by the organizers for this task. Each participant in the evaluation campaign is requested to submit a paper describing the MT system, the utilized resources, and results using the provided test data.

Ensemble h?t?rog?ne, composite, m?lant textes, son et images, les productions circulant sur Internet mat?rialisent une multiplicit? de formats d?expression qui s?inscriraient de mani?re lin?aire dans une ?volution technologique qui ferait se succ?der des p?riodes, voire des ?res (Web 1.0, Web 2.0 et Web 3.0 ? venir), caract?ris?es par des possibilit?s d?expression toujours plus grandes. D?s lors, les cat?gories descriptives habituellement usit?es ? sites, forums, blogs, wikis, en particulier ? apparaissent comme des terminologies sinon d?pass?es tout du moins inaptes ? rendre compte de la r?alit? des pratiques fond?es sur les usages plus ou moins hybrides d?applications ? traditionnelles ? et de ? formes digitales ? (micro-blogs, podcasts, mashups, syndication, taggage, etc.) sans cesse renouvel?es qui r?sistent ? une appr?hension m?thodologiquement univoque. Le concept de ? dispositif socio-technique ? est le plus souvent usit? pour d?signer l?ensemble de ces productions, ce qui permet de prendre en compte le poids des ressources mat?rielles et techniques n?cessaires, mais aussi l'intervention des acteurs qui mettent en place et contr?lent ces ressources. Il s?agira de revenir sur une telle expression et sur les enjeux th?oriques qu?elle soul?ve autant que sur ses implications m?thodologiques. Sur ce point, la litt?rature est d?sormais bien fournie sur l?analyse des sites Internet dont se sont saisies les sciences de l?information et de la communication, s?miologie, linguistique, sociologie, etc. depuis plus d?une dizaine ann?es. Cette s?ance sera l?occasion de faire un point sur les apports ? et les limites ? de ces diff?rentes approches. - - - s?minaire - - - s?minaire - - - s?minaire - - - s?minaire - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue May 18 19:55:08 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 21:55:08 +0200 Subject: Appel: COLING 2010 Workshop on Multiword Expressions (MWE 2010), Final CFP Message-ID: Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 09:42:28 +0200 From: Carlos Ramisch Message-ID: X-url: http://multiword.sf.net/mwe2010 X-url: http://www.coling-2010.org/SubmissionGuideline.htm ================================================================= FINAL Call for Paper Submissions COLING 2010 Workshop on Multiword Expressions: from Theory to Applications (MWE 2010) http://multiword.sf.net/mwe2010 endorsed by the Special Interest Group on the Lexicon of the Association for Computational Linguistics (SIGLEX) Beijing, China ***Submission deadline: May 30, 2010 at 23:59 (GMT-7)*** ================================================================= Multiword Expressions (MWEs) are a ubiquitous component of natural languages and appear steadily on a daily basis, both in specialized and in general-purpose communication. While easily mastered by native speakers, their interpretation poses a major challenge for automated analysis due to their flexible and heterogeneous nature. Therefore, the automated processing of MWEs is desirable for any natural language application that involves some degree of semantic interpretation, e.g., Machine Translation, Information Extraction, and Question Answering. In spite of the recent advances in the field, there is a wide range of open problems that prevent MWE treatment techniques from full integration in current NLP systems. In MWE'2010, we will be interested in major challenges in the overall process of MWE treatment, asking for original research related but not limited to the following topics: * MWE resources: Although underused in most current state-of-the-art approaches, resources are key for developing real-world applications capable of interpreting MWEs. We call for papers describing the process of building MWE resources, constructed both manually and automatically from text corpora; we are also interested in assessing the usability of such resources in various MWE tasks. * Hybrid approaches: We invite research on integrating heterogeneous MWE treatment techniques and resources in NLP applications. Such hybrid approaches can aim, for example, at the combination of results from symbolic and statistical approaches, at the fusion of manually built and automatically extracted resources, or at the design of language learning techniques. * Domain adaptation: Real-world NLP applications need to be robust to deal with texts coming from different domains. We thus call for papers assessing the performance of MWE methods across domains or describing domain adaptation techniques for MWEs. * Multilingualism: Parallel and comparable corpora are gaining popularity as a resource for automatic MWE discovery and treatment. We are also interested in the integration of MWE processing in multilingual applications such as machine translation and multilingual information retrieval, as well as in porting existing monolingual MWE approaches to new languages. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We invite submissions of original and unpublished work as full papers. All submissions must follow the format of COLING 2010 proceedings, available at http://www.coling-2010.org/SubmissionGuideline.htm. We strongly advise the use of the provided Word or LaTeX template files. Full papers should not exceed eight (8) pages for the content, with one (1) extra page for references, thus the total lenght should not exceed nine pages (9) inclusive of references. Reviewing will be double-blind, and thus no author information should be included in the papers; self-reference should be avoided as well. Submission will be electronic in PDF format through the workshop START system, available soon at https://www.softconf.com/coling2010/mwe2010/.

Technologies, methodologies and standards converge toward full operational capabilities by being service oriented, with a focus on statelessness, low coupled, modular, and semantic interoperable. In this context the issues related to the quality of data and process representation are crucial, as it is required to deal with data that are valuable, expressive, shareable e and manipulable at the same time. In this context the role of good quality ontology (i.e. good quality conceptualizations, encoded in portable and extensible format) acquires more and more relevance. This workshop aims to focus on content issues, such as methodologies and tools concerned with modeling good ontologies, approaches to ontology content evaluation, quality measures, ontology content management (e.g. metadata, libraries, and registration), ontology documentation, etc. The workshop also aims to give a special attention to ontology content issues in: Business, human resources and employment, healthcare and life sciences, and Web 3.0. We welcome papers and (past/planned) project descriptions that discuss ontology aspects, particularly: Research papers presenting theoretical solutions, but with a clear illustration on how these solutions can be applied in industry. Position papers presenting opinions on some aspect of ontology practice, or describing work that is still in progress, but sufficiently mature to warrant attention. Business experience and case studies specifying requirements, challenges, or opportunities of modeling and applying ontologies in industry. Topics Methodology and Engineering Modeling and engineering methodologies. Ontology design patterns. Ontological usability and usefulness. Ontology metadata, and libraries. Ontology interoperability. Ontology reusability. Ontology evolution and versioning. Methodologies for consensus reaching. Ontology tools. Good, best, and bad practices Experiences/empirical results on ontology management. Towards Web 3.0 Lessons from Web 2.0 for ontology engineering. Participatory and evolutionary approaches to ontology engineering. Lightweight ontology formalisms (e.g., SKOS) and microformats. Conflict resolution and self-adaptation in ad hoc networks. Experiences on lightweight vs. heavy-weight ontologies. Semantic distance and similarity. Semantics in sensor networks. e-Governance Ontology Legal/legislation ontologies. Local government ontologies. Location ontology (real-estate). Person/Identity ontology. Ontologies for digital certificates. Ontologies for digital libraries. Ontologies for public utilities. Ontologies for emergence management. Ontologies for healthcare and life science. Ontologies for modeling business process. Ontologies for business process analysis Ontologies for supply chains management. Ontologies for risk analysis. Ontology enabled service orchestration. Submissions We invite (A) Research papers describing original studies of no more than 10 pages; (B) Position papers presenting opinions or work in progress of no more than 6 pages; and (C) Business experience and case studies of no more than 8 pages. All submitted papers will be evaluated by at least three members of the program committee, based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Detailed formatting instructions can be found at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html The final proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as LNCS.

Dans un tel mod?le, la connaissance lexicale est repr?sent?e sous forme d'un graphe o? les lexies - n?uds du graphe - sont connect?es entre elles par un ensemble potentiellement tr?s riche de liens significatifs - arcs du graphe. Toute lexie L s?mantiquement pleine peut contr?ler deux types majeurs de liens lexicaux. 1. Les liens paradigmatiques unissent L ? d'autres lexies qui entretiennent avec elle une relation s?mantique forte. Il s'agit, par exemple, de synonymes, antonymes, conversifs, nominalisations, verbalisations, etc. 2. Les liens syntagmatiques unissent L ? d'autres lexies (ou ? des syntagmes) avec lesquelles elle forme des collocations - c'est-?-dire, des expressions phras?ologis?es, mais compositionnelles, du type ? pousser un cri ?, ? poser une question ?, ? sommeil lourd ?... Il s'agit donc de liens vers des verbes supports, des intensificateurs, etc. La Lexicologie Explicative et Combinatoire ou LEC (Mel'?uk et al. 1995), la branche lexicale de la th?orie Sens-Texte, a d?velopp? un outil formel servant ? mod?liser les liens lexicaux paradigmatiques et syntagmatiques qui se manifestent de fa?on r?currente dans les langues : il s'agit du syst?me des fonctions lexicales standard. Ce dernier a ?t? utilis? de fa?on m?thodique en lexicologie th?orique et descriptive (Mel'?uk et al. 1984, 1988, 1992,1999 ; Fontenelle 1997 ; Polgu?re 2009). Le sujet de th?se propos? vise ? examiner la structure relationnelle des lexiques lorsque celle-ci est mod?lis?e sur la base du syst?me des fonctions lexicales. Il s'agira, d'une part, de trouver une repr?sentation optimale formelle d'un graphe lexical tiss? par les fonctions lexicales Sens-Texte et, d'autre part, d'en examiner les propri?t?s formelles et d'exploiter l'?clairage qu'il peut apporter sur l'organisation du lexique des langues. La recherche, bien qu'? vis?e avant tout th?orique, inclura une exp?rimentation men?e sur le lexique du fran?ais, dans la continuit? des travaux d?j? r?alis?s dans le cadre de la LEC. Enjeux scientifiques -------------------- La probl?matique de la construction de lexiques formels occupe une place de plus en plus importante en linguistique et en traitement automatique des langues (TAL). On remarque que les structures de donn?es utilis?es pour construire et ?tudier de tels lexiques s'?loignent de plus en plus de la structure ? textuelle ? qui est celle des dictionnaires - y compris les dictionnaires ?lectroniques -, pour se rapprocher de v?ritables structures de graphes - voir, par exemple, WordNet (Fellbaum 1998), FrameNet (Baker et al. 2003) ou les Petits Mondes Lexicaux (Gaume 2004). S'il existe des raisons pratiques pour s'orienter vers des mod?les lexicaux du type graphes, raisons li?es notamment ? la plus grande calculabilit? de ces mod?les, il existe aussi des raisons th?oriques profondes, li?es ? la nature relationnelle de la connaissance lexicale (Aitchison 2003). Profil du candidat ------------------ Le candidat devra avoir un solide bagage en linguistique formelle et manifester de l'int?r?t pour le probl?me de l'interaction entre les deux composantes structurales majeures de la langue : le lexique et la grammaire (s?mantique, syntaxe de d?pendance, morphologie, phonologie). Une formation additionnelle en informatique ou en th?orie des graphes est un atout certain. La langue de travail peut ?tre le fran?ais ou l'anglais. Modalit?s de soumission d'une candidature ----------------------------------------- 1. Il faut envoyer un CV au directeur de th?se LE PLUS T?T POSSIBLE (avant le 18 juin 2010). Ce dernier aidera le candidat ? pr?parer un pr?dossier, qui doit ?tre soumis au Conseil de direction scientifique (CDS) de l'ATILF AVANT LE 21 JUIN 2010. 2. Le dossier complet de candidature devra parvenir ? l'?cole Doctorale ? Langages, Temps, Soci?t?s ? de Nancy 2 LE VENDREDI 25 JUIN 2010 ? 12h au plus tard. Ce dossier doit comporter un CV d?taill?, les relev?s de notes (licence et master) et tout autre document jug? pertinent. 3. Les candidats ? un contrat doctoral seront auditionn?s par l'?colde Doctorale le lundi 5 juillet 2010. Cette audition sera d?cisionnelle. Une audition de pr?paration par le CDS de l'ATILF est pr?vue une semaine avant, le lundi 28 juin 2010.

Please consider to contribute and/or forward to interested colleagues and groups. Call for Papers 1st Workshop on Aided Formalization of Business Rules and Policies FoBuR'2010 http://www.ontorule-project.eu/dissemination/events/fobur2010 co-located with EKAW 2010 11th - 15th October, Lisbon, Portugal In the Business Rules community and for the management of policies, many tools and methodologies are developed in order to assist the business users (e.g. Domain Experts, Business Analysts) in rules and policies formalization. The goal of this workshop is to draw the attention of the EKAW scientific community to this emerging research problem of which the business world is already aware. We will focus on two kinds of tools and methodologies aim at helping users in the formalization task: 1. Tools and methodologies for the acquisition of rules and models: some of these tools focus on (semi-)automatically identifying/extracting rules and models from textual policy documents but other sources of information can be exploited. In any case, it is of crucial importance to explicit the way acquisition is performed and to relate that methodology to the type of source that is exploited. It is also important to evaluate the proposed methodology. 2. Easy to use rules editors, that allow business users to edit and possibly update executable rules. Some of these tools rely on (controlled) natural language, which is an interesting option to consider. This workshop aim to bring together researchers from the Knowledge Engineering and Acquisition community and experts of Business Rules and Policies. Important dates 11 July 2010 - Submission deadline 8 August 2010 - Notification to authors 27 August 2010 - Camera ready version Topics of interest The topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: Bridging the gap between Business Users and Formalization methodologies Detection and extraction of Business Rules Natural Language Processing for Business Models acquisition Natural Language Tools for Rules and Ontologies authoring and formalization Use of rules standards by Business Users Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules Rule Interchange Format Submissions We welcome three types of papers: full papers - up to 10 pages. short papers - up to 5 pages. demo description - up to 2 pages.

The correct application of methodologies already help guarantee some quality in the resulting ontology, although the quality offered by such methodologies has not, so far, been measured quantitative or qualitatively. There are no maturity models for the ontology building processes that might be used for this purpose. On the other hand, ontology design patterns play an important role in obtaining higher quality ontologies. In the last years, some international efforts have been put on defining such patterns for generic ontology building or oriented to particular domains, so knowing the best and worst practices would also contribute to get better ontologies. The objective of this workshop is to serve as a forum for sharing the most recent efforts and experiences in this area, disseminating the current best practices and discussing the directions that the field should take. Therefore, this workshop is oriented to any researcher or practitioner working or interested in the following areas: - reusing ontologies with informed decisions - methods and tools for evaluating the technical quality of ontologies - methods and tools for evaluating the quality of the content of ontologies - methods and tools for improving ontology construction processes - methods and tools for adapting and applying quality standards from other engineering fields to ontology evaluation - relevant dimensions of quality for domain and high-level ontologies in specific domains - methods and tools for evaluating the practical and social success of ontologies - best (and worst) practices in ontology building - improving the quality of ontologies through design patterns - experiences of quality evaluation in specific domains Important dates Submission: June 30th 2010 Notification: July, 25th 2010 Camera-ready deadline: September, 1st 2010 Contributions Paper submission and reviewing for this workshop will be electronic via EasyChair https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=ontoqual10. The papers should be written in English, follow Springer LNCS format http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0, and be submitted in PDF. Two types of submissions are accepted in this workshop: - short papers: up to 6 pages - regular papers: up to 12 pages Proceedings will be distributed to the participants during the workshop, and made available as CEUR proceedings after the workshop.

The already published volumes have been well recognized in the academic field of Language Contact studies and the international academic affiliations of the contributors, the thematic richness of the articles and the scientific quality may be interpreted as a confirmation of the journals success. JLC is in the fore in its domain on an international level and has received international attention. However, despite its recognition it received not enough publishing support. The attention of publishing house Brill in Leiden has, as a consequence of its international recognition, been attracted to the development of the journal. BRILL has contacted the editors and proposed to continue the publication and diffusion of the Journal of Language Contact one year ago. After examination of the offer and one year of negotiations the editors have finally accepted because the engagement and experience of BRILL will guarantee the continuity of the journal and provide the necessary publishing support, hosting and promotion?while the scientific independence will be left untouched. Although the future volumes of the journal will no longer be open access, a moderate pricing of has been agreed on. This will change: 1) One volume with two issues of JLC will appear per year as before. A distinction with the current practice is that most issues will be regular issues, but occasionally a thematic issue will be published which will be announced in advance. The number of pages will remain 350 pp. per year. 2) Starting from volume 4, JLC will be published online and in print, distributed under the terms of subscription of BRILL. 3) The mode of publication of the actual issues VARIA 3 and THEMA 3 (volume 3) is and will be still open access.

Patent Information Retrieval specialists in the 21st century face many challenges. They must search very large numbers of documents in multiple languages expressing complex technological concepts through sophisticated legal clauses. Despite a great deal of theoretical development in Information Retrieval techniques, advanced search tools for patent professionals, be they patent searchers in national patent offices, patent lawyers, or members of a corporate IP department, are still in their infancy. It is therefore necessary to foster the exchange of ideas between IR and IP professionals, in order to speed up the introduction of state-of-the-art research into day-to-day use. We encourage IP professionals to present their special information needs either through position papers or through examples of how a tool or set of tools fails to satisfy a search need. These kind of papers are particularly interested for both researchers in academia and the industry in order to focus their efforts on real issues that will have a significant impact for the_patent searcher. IR & KM researchers, from academia or industry, are invited to present relevant technical ideas, examples of which are described below in the Topics of Interest section. The Workshop also aims to promote the exchange of ideas on measuring the progress of system performance for retrieval tasks in the intellectual property domain. Topics of Interest ================== This workshop solicits two types of papers: "research/solutions" and "IP/needs" papers. Suggested topics for "research/solutions" papers include, but are not limited to: * Cross-lingual information retrieval * Patent classification * Ontology-based retrieval * Latent Semantic Analysis * Information retrieval evaluation * Evaluation frameworks * Test collections * Large-scale information retrieval experiments * Parallel and distributed information retrieval * Ranking strategies * Query validation and query quality analysis * Query expansion * Interactive retrieval * Session-based information retrieval * User modeling * Handling of noisy data (OCR/spelling/typing errors) * XML retrieval * NLP / Natural Language Processing " IP/needs" papers shall present research challenges. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: * Patent search workflow * Patent search strategies * Information need of the patent researcher * Shortcomings of current patent search tools * Case studies * Challenges in patent search * Patent life cycle * Quality of patent data Keynote Speakers ================ - Mary Carman, CEO of the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, CA - IR keynote to be announced Important Dates =============== - Individual workshop papers due: June 30, 2010 - Notification of Acceptance: July 31, 2010 - Camera ready version: August 15, 2010 - Workshop date: October 26, 2010 Submission Guidelines ===================== The Workshop Committee encourages the submission of high quality research and industrial papers, which are not yet published or under consideration elsewhere, with special emphasis on Patent Information Retrieval methods. Research papers will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members of the international program committee. Manuscripts should be formatted using the ACM camera-ready templates (both for MS word and Latex) available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates . There are two styles on the website. Both the Strict Adherence to SIGS and the Tighter Alternate style are allowed. Papers cannot exceed 8 pages in length. A website with camera-ready instructions is available. Full papers should be submitted in PDF format to http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pair10 . Selected papers will be invited to provide an extended version to be edited in special issue of a journal. Authors of selected papers will be invited to present their work in course of a poster session. Note that these papers will be included in the proceedings.

Corbett (University of Surrey) CONFERENCE AIMS AND TOPICS The 29th International Conference on Lexis and Grammar will take place in Belgrade, Serbia, September 15 - 18, 2010. The Conference welcomes innovative papers on the formal description of languages, as well as on the construction, management and use of language resources, including manually constructed lexicons and grammars. In addition, it aims at bringing together linguists and computer scientists. The Conference will combine a general session and a thematic session. Submissions for the general session may address any of the topics of the Conference: - Lexis: lexical phenomena and their processing with special attention to possibility to formalize them for various purposes such as text analysis, multi-word units, processing of monolingual and multilingual corpora, etc. - Grammatical phenomena and their processing - The interface between lexis and grammar - Theoretical and methodological innovations concerning processing of lexis and grammar - Interlingual similarities and differences in the field of lexis and grammar (contrastive approach, aligned corpora, etc.) - exploitation of language resources (including manually constructed lexicons and grammars) for language processing (including parsing and natural language generation as well as applications such as, information retrieval, information extraction), The thematic session of the 29th International Conference on Lexis and Grammar is dedicated to the problem of ambiguity and its implications both in linguistics and natural language processing. Ambiguity is one of the main issues both in linguistics and NLP because: - it arises on the large scale in all languages; - the resolution of ambiguity is indispensable for humans to understand any message; - the resolution of ambiguity represents a preliminary step in automatic text processing that has to be done before any other application (analysis, machine translation, etc.). The articles that are dealing with following aspects of ambiguity would be welcome: - lexical, morphosyntactic and syntactic ambiguity, as well as ambiguity between frozen and non-frozen expressions; - the automatic treatment of ambiguity, since the number of tags assigned to a word form is proportional to its degree of ambiguity. SUBMISSION AND DATES Authors are asked to send their extended abstracts anonymously by e-mail with the title of the paper, name(s) and affiliation included in the body of the message. Abstracts should not exceed six pages (including data, diagrams and references) formatted with one-inch (2.5 cm) margins on all sides, 1.5 line spacing with text in Times New Roman 12-point type. Submissions should be sent both as PDF and MS-Word attachments to the following e-mail address: lgc2010_at_matf.bg.ac.rs Notification: The authors are notified of the result in a message including the comments from the reviewers. These comments are sent to authors to help them prepare their presentation or understand the assessment of their submission. Guidelines for final submissions will be sent to authors with the notification. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings (hard copy, with ISBN number). A selection of the papers presented at the conference will be published in a special volume of the journal Infotheca.. Important dates: - Submission deadline: June 6, 2010 - Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2010 - Final version (max. 8 pages, bibliographical references included): August 1, 2010 - Conference: September 15-18, 2010 CONFERENCE SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Andr?e Borillo (Univ.

While easily mastered by native speakers, their interpretation poses a major challenge for automated analysis due to their flexible and heterogeneous nature. Therefore, the automated processing of MWEs is desirable for any natural language application that involves some degree of semantic interpretation, e.g., Machine Translation, Information Extraction, and Question Answering. In spite of the recent advances in the field, there is a wide range of open problems that prevent MWE treatment techniques from full integration in current NLP systems. In MWE'2010, we will be interested in major challenges in the overall process of MWE treatment, asking for original research related but not limited to the following topics: * MWE resources: Although underused in most current state-of-the-art approaches, resources are key for developing real-world applications capable of interpreting MWEs. We call for papers describing the process of building MWE resources, constructed both manually and automatically from text corpora; we are also interested in assessing the usability of such resources in various MWE tasks. * Hybrid approaches: We invite research on integrating heterogeneous MWE treatment techniques and resources in NLP applications. Such hybrid approaches can aim, for example, at the combination of results from symbolic and statistical approaches, at the fusion of manually built and automatically extracted resources, or at the design of language learning techniques. * Domain adaptation: Real-world NLP applications need to be robust to deal with texts coming from different domains. We thus call for papers assessing the performance of MWE methods across domains or describing domain adaptation techniques for MWEs. * Multilingualism: Parallel and comparable corpora are gaining popularity as a resource for automatic MWE discovery and treatment. We are also interested in the integration of MWE processing in multilingual applications such as machine translation and multilingual information retrieval, as well as in porting existing monolingual MWE approaches to new languages. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We invite submissions of original and unpublished work as full papers. All submissions must follow the format of COLING 2010 proceedings, available at http://www.coling-2010.org/SubmissionGuideline.htm . We strongly advise the use of the provided Word or LaTeX template files. Full papers should not exceed eight (8) pages for the content, with one (1) extra page for references, thus the total lenght should not exceed nine pages (9) inclusive of references. Reviewing will be double-blind, and thus no author information should be included in the papers; self-reference should be avoided as well. Submission will be electronic in PDF format through the workshop START system, available soon at https://www.softconf.com/coling2010/mwe2010/ . The papers must be submitted no later than May 30, 2010 at 23:59 PDT (GMT-7). No deadline extensions will be granted. Submitted papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings and will be presented orally.

Un nouveau champ de recherche s?est rapidement constitu? autour d??quipes d?j? nombreuses visant, avec des objectifs divers, l??tude d?opinions ?mises sur des entit?s vari?es (produits, comportements?) ? l?aide de m?thodes et de techniques non moins diversifi?es. En t?moignent, entre autres, l?apparition de nombreux ateliers et les r?centes campagnes d??valuation en fouille d?opinions FODOP?08, DEFT?07, DEFT?09, NTCIR6. Pourtant, les travaux actuels n?arrivent ? capturer que partiellement les ph?nom?nes subjectifs vis?s. Ces derniers recouvrent des significations riches et diversifi?es ; leurs multiples formes d?expression, approch?es le plus souvent par le lexique, demandent ? ?tre d?crites ?galement ? diff?rents niveaux de granularit? en tenant compte des genres, des domaines et des pratiques (?nonc?s st?r?otyp?s ou s??cartant de la ? norme ?, constructions d?di?es, lexiques ? l?axiologie instable?). Une autre limite de ces travaux provient d?une compr?hension et d?une caract?risation insuffisantes de ces notions et des crit?res permettant de les d?crire. Quand on choisit de se focaliser (comme cela est fait fr?quemment) sur la simple attribution d?une polarit? (positive /n?gative /neutre) ? un document entier, les r?sultats ne sont effectivement exploitables que dans des cadres relativement restreints. Manquent alors de nombreuses informations indispensables ? l?analyse requise, par exemple dans un processus de veille ou d?aide ? la d?cision : l?objet ?valu? (la cible), le type s?mantique et l?intensit? du jugement, l??metteur ou le porteur (la source) du jugement, le degr? d?adh?sion ou d?engagement face ? ce jugement? L?ad?quation est, en somme, encore faible entre les r?alisations actuelles, les usages possibles et les besoins d?analystes humains. Parmi les probl?mes restant ouverts ? ce jour, il en est un qui concerne l?int?gration de ces analyses au sein d?une cha?ne de traitement documentaire. Comment ces informations, par nature composites et g?n?ralement diss?min?es sur une multitude de documents, peuvent-elles ?tre int?gr?es, agr?g?es, pour permettre leur exploitation ? Si elles sont dat?es, comment ?voluent-elles au fil du temps ? Quel type de synth?se peut ?tre fournie ? l?utilisateur ? Ces probl?matiques renvoient ? des enjeux ?conomiques et sociaux r?els, notamment en mati?re de veille ?conomique, de veille d?image, de mise en place d?observatoires politiques. Il convient de faire un tour d?horizon pour cerner l??tendue et la vari?t? de ce qui a d?j? ?t? entrepris et l?effort qui reste ? accomplir. Au moins quatre points de vue sont envisageables : (i) la mod?lisation de la gestion des connaissances (qu'est-ce qu'une ? opinion ?, comment la repr?senter informatiquement ?) ; (ii) l'expression en langue et en discours (comment les opinions, sous leurs diff?rentes facettes, sont-elles formul?es ?) ; (iii) les m?thodes pour identifier automatiquement opinions et sentiments dans des documents textuels ou audiovisuels, et (iv) la pr?sentation synth?tique de la diversit? des opinions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Objet et th?mes L'objet de ce num?ro sp?cial de TAL est de faire le point sur les progr?s r?cents en mati?re d?analyse et de traitement des opinions, des sentiments et des jugements d??valuation. Cet appel ? soumissions s'adresse ? la fois aux informaticiens, aux linguistes et aux concepteurs de logiciels d?analyse des opinions et des sentiments, qu?ils aient recours ? des m?thodes num?riques et/ou symboliques. Nous souhaitons publier des articles innovants ou des articles de synth?se et de prospective autour des th?matiques suivantes (liste non limitative) : ? Mod?lisation linguistique et informatique des opinions, des jugements d??valuation, des sentiments ou des ?motions : o Caract?risation fine des diff?rents param?tres de ces notions (type d?attitude, source, cible ou type d'objet ?valu?, polarit?, force?), o D?finition, cat?gorisation, formalisation des notions d?opinion, de jugement d??valuation, de sentiment (mod?les linguistiques, ontologies?). ? Construction, acquisition et validation des ressources linguistiques (lexiques, grammaires, constructions?) pour le traitement des opinions (des sentiments?). ? Identification, caract?risation, annotation informatique et extraction d?opinions (de sentiments?) dans des documents textuels ou audiovisuels. ?

The deadline is coming up very soon. Please pass this on to anyone you think may be interested, thanks, Brian --------- Please see the posting below with details of a fully funded PhD position in computational neurolinguistics at the Centre for Mind/Brain Sciences, University of Trento, Italy. This is a challenging interdisciplinary project, using machine learning methods to integrate data from neural recordings, from web-scale language corpora, and from behavioural experiments, and so to arrive at a better understanding of word semantics. The project may involve co-operation with international partners (Carnegie Mellon U, Cambridge University, Tokyo Tech). Programming ability is essential, and further experience with one or more of the following desirable: - theoretical linguistics/semantics - psychology of concepts/semantic memory - computational linguistics - computational neuroscience - signal processing - neuroimaging technologies (EEG, MEG, fMRI) - experimental psychology The deadline for applications is the 8th of June. CIMeC is an interdisciplinary centre for neurocognitive research led by Alfonso Caramazza. The centre is located in Rovereto, in the heart of the Italian Dolomite Alps. The scholarship includes full fees and living allowance. ------------------- PHD POSITION IN COMPUTATIONAL NEUROLINGUISTICS A PhD position in Computational Neurolinguistics (Conceptual Representations) will be available at the Language Interaction and Computation Lab (CLIC) starting in late 2010 or early 2011. http://clic.cimec.unitn.it/ The successful candidate will work as part of a larger project whose objective is to combine empirical data of different types (corpus co-occurrence patterns, elicitation experiments, neuroimaging data) to arrive at a better understanding of the organisation of conceptual knowledge in the mind and brain. Your task will be to continue ongoing work which uses machine learning and data-mining methods to extract conceptual representations from recordings of neural activity (EEG, MEG and fMRI). Ideally the candidate should have knowledge of both computational linguistic techniques (particularly distributional models of meaning), and experimental design (elicitation/behavioural). Programming skills are a must, and experience with neuroimaging techniques, machine learning and signal processing would be a plus. The Language Interaction and Computation Lab (CLIC) is a unit of the University of Trento's Centre for Mind/Brain Sciences (www.cimec.unitn.it) or CIMEC: an interdisciplinary Centre for the research in brain and cognition including neuroscientists, psychologists, (computational) linguists, computational neuroscientists, and physicists. CLIC consists of researchers from the Departments of Computer Science and Cognitive Science carrying out research on a range of topics, including concept acquisition and information extraction from very large multi-modal corpora, combining brain data and data from corpora to study cognition, and methods of theoretical linguistics. The normal course of PhD study in Italy is three years, with possibility of extension, and includes courses at the CIMeC Doctoral School (portale.unitn.it/drcimec/). There are no tuition fees, and the position includes a fellowship to cover living expenses. For additional information please contact Brian Murphy (brian.murphy at unitn.it) or Massimo Poesio (massimo.poesio at unitn.it) directly, attaching your CV. -- Brian Murphy Post-Doctoral Researcher Language, Interaction and Computation Lab Centre for Mind/Brain Sciences University of Trento http://clic.cimec.unitn.it/brian/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Fri May 28 20:30:37 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Fri, 28 May 2010 22:30:37 +0200 Subject: Conf: 7th International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT 2010), Dec. 2-3, 2010, Paris France Message-ID: Date: Fri, 28 May 2010 11:50:02 +0200 From: info at elda.org Message-ID: <4BFF91CA.4050305 at elda.org> X-url: http://iwslt2010.fbk.eu [Apologies for multiple postings] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 7th International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT 2010) First Call for Participants / Papers December 2-3, 2010 Paris, France http://iwslt2010.fbk.eu -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT) is a yearly scientific workshop, associated with an open evaluation campaign on spoken language translation, where both scientific papers and system descriptions are presented. The 7th International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation will take place in Paris, France on 2-3 December 2010. === Scientific Papers The IWSLT invites submissions of scientific papers to be published in the workshop proceedings and presented in dedicated technical sessions of the workshop, either in oral or poster form. The workshop welcomes high quality contributions covering theoretical and practical issues in the field of machine translation (MT), in general, and spoken language translation (SLT), including Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Text-to-Speech Synthesis (TTS) and MT, in particular. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Speech and text MT - Integration of ASR and MT - MT and SLT approaches - MT and SLT evaluation - Language resources for MT and SLT - Open source software for MT and SLT - Pivot-language-based MT - Adaptation in MT - Simultaneous speech translation - Efficiency in MT - Stream-based algorithms for MT - Multilingual ASR and TTS Submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by three members of the workshop program committee. Authors of accepted papers are requested to present their paper at the workshop. === Evaluation Campaign IWSLT evaluations are not organized for the sake of competition, but their goal is to foster cooperative work and scientific exchange. In this respect, IWSLT proposes challenging research tasks and an open experimental infrastructure for the scientific community working on spoken and written language translation. This year, the IWSLT evaluation campaign will offer three tasks: - public speeches (TALK) on a variety of topics, from English to French (NEW CHALLENGE), - spoken dialogues (DIALOG) in travel situations, between Chinese and English, - traveling expressions (BTEC), from Arabic, Turkish, and French to English. For each task, monolingual and bilingual language resources will be provided to participants in order to train their translation systems, as well as sets of manual and automatic speech transcripts (with n-best and lattices) and reference translations, allowing researchers working only on written language translation to also participate. Moreover, blind test sets will be released and all translation outputs produced by the participants will be evaluated using several automatic translation quality metrics. Human assessment will be carried out for the translation of spoken dialogues and basic travel expressions. The goal of this year's new challenge (translation of public speeches) will be to establish reference baselines and appropriate evaluation protocols for future evaluations. As a consequence, although an evaluation server will be set-up to compute several translation accuracy metrics, there will be no official ranking of participants published by the organizers for this task. Each participant in the evaluation campaign is requested to submit a paper describing the MT system, the utilized resources, and results using the provided test data. Contrastive run submissions using only the bilingual resources provided by IWSLT as well as investigations of the contribution of each utilized resource are highly appreciated. Results feedback will be provided by the organizers a few days after the run submissions. Finally, all participants are requested to present their papers describing their MT systems at the workshop. === Important Dates Evaluation Campaign: - Training corpus release 28 May 2010 - Test corpus release 23 August 2010 - Run submissions due (DIALOG, BTEC) 6 September 2010 - Run submissions due (TALK) 30 September 2010 - MT system description due 14 October 2010 - Notification of acceptance 29 October 2010 - Camera-ready paper due 10 November 2010 Scientific Papers: - Paper submission due 4 September 2010 - Notification of acceptance 16 October 2010 - Camera-ready paper due 10 November 2010 === Organizers IWSLT Steering Committee: - Alex Waibel (CMU, USA / Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany) - Marcello Federico (FBK-irst, Italy) - Satoshi Nakamura (NICT, Japan) Chairs: * Workshop: - Alex Waibel (CMU, USA / KIT, Germany) - Joseph Mariani (LIMSI-CNRS & IMMI, France) * Evaluation Committee: - Michael Paul (NICT, Japan) - Marcello Federico (FBK-irst, Italy) * Program Committee: - Ian Lane (CMU, USA) - Fran?ois Yvon (LIMSI-CNRS/U.

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: 1. 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)? 2. 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? 3. 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? 4. 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 workshop: 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.

Au niveau du TAL, les m?thodes d'analyse automatique du contenu textuel pour l'extraction d'information s'appuient sur des ressources ?labor?es manuellement et sont d?di?es ? un type de corpus sp?cifique. L'acquisition automatique de ces ressources par des m?thodes d'apprentissage automatique et de fouille de textes pour prendre en compte la diversit? des corpus et leur ?volution est une voie prometteuse. L'id?e consiste ? tirer parti de la capacit? des m?thodes de fouille ? faire ?merger des r?gularit?s et des motifs sur des donn?es volumineuses. Cependant, si les m?thodes actuelles sont bien adapt?es aux donn?es structur?es, elles ne peuvent ?tre appliqu?es directement sur des textes par nature non structur?s. Il faut donc int?grer les sp?cificit?s de la langue aux syst?mes de fouille, ce qui consistera ? : - concevoir des m?thodes pour la cr?ation et l'enrichissement de corpus d'apprentissage : il existe des donn?es textuelles d'apprentissage fournis par la communaut? ou par les organisateurs de comp?titions en fouille de textes (d?fis BioCreative ou Deft par exemple). Mais ces donn?es ne sont pas utilisables telles quelles par les solveurs de fouille : en effet, un ensemble de pr?-traitements linguistiques est n?cessaire. Cela suppose la conception et la r?alisation de nouvelles m?thodes, comme par exemple la segmentation d'unit?s textuelles ? prendre en compte pour la fouille, ou encore l'enrichissement des textes par des annotations de diff?rents ordres (morpho-syntaxique, lexical, s?mantique,...) - guider la fouille : il s'agit d'int?grer les sp?cificit?s du texte et une mod?lisation linguistique au sein du processus de fouille, notamment en formalisant la notion de ``contraintes linguistiques''. En effet, l'extraction de motifs sous contraintes est une solution ? l'un des principaux probl?mes pos?s par les m?thodes de recherche de motifs fr?quents, ? savoir le grand nombre de motifs g?n?ralement produits. L'int?gration de contraintes linguistiques au sein des processus de fouille permettra dans ce cadre de pouvoir s?lectionner les motifs qui sont pertinents pour les syst?mes de TAL et conduira ? adapter les algorithmes de fouille, ou ? en d?velopper de nouveaux. Un prolongement du travail consistera ? g?n?raliser l'approche ? un niveau discursif. Cet axe sera initi? par la d?couverte de patrons de modalit?. Ce probl?me soul?ve les questions de d?couverte de patrons linguistiques convoyant des relations (modales) portant sur des relations (e.g. relation entre entit?s nomm?es), et de la prise en compte de la port?e de l'op?rateur. Puis, l'objectif est de concevoir et d?velopper des m?thodes de fouilles adapt?es ? l'analyse discursive. Un des enjeux majeurs est la d?couverte de motifs consid?rant plusieurs niveaux de granularit? dans un document : la granularit? est une notion centrale en analyse du discours, elle permet aussi d'appr?hender le texte selon plusieurs points de vue. Ce travail s'inscrit dans une approche ? plus long terme o? il s'agit de d?gager des dimensions structurelles sur les donn?es comme par exemple leur s?quentialit?, leur granularit?, leur structuration (e.g., XML, graphes) pour produire des m?thodes de fouille reposant sur ces dimensions et non li?es ? la repr?sentation classique (proche de la structure physique) des donn?es. Cadre de travail --------------- Ce travail s'inscrit dans le prolongement de deux projets soutenus par l'ANR : le projet Annodis sur l'annotation discursive, la production de corpus et d'outils d'aide ? l'annotation et le projet Bingo2 (http://bingo2.greyc.fr/) sur la conception et la r?alisation de m?thodes g?n?riques en fouille de donn?es et de textes. Le sujet propos? b?n?ficiera donc de la compl?mentarit? de ces deux projets (le premier ?tant plus ax? sur les m?thodes de traitement automatique de la langue, le deuxi?me sur la fouille de donn?es mais en traitant la probl?matique de l'extraction d'information dans les texte biologiques) et des collaborations avec les diff?rents laboratoires impliqu?s. En compl?ment, ce travail s'appuie sur les comp?tences du GREYC et les premiers r?sultats obtenus [1], [2], [3] sur le croisement des deux disciplines -- fouille de donn?es et traitement automatique des langues --.
