** Deadline extension: October 13th, 2011



EACL 2012, 2nd CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

Proposals are invited for the Tutorial Program of the 13th Conference of
the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
(EACL 2012), to be held in Avignon, France, from April 23 to April 27,
2012. The selected tutorials will be given on the Monday and Tuesday
preceding the main conference (April 23 and 24).

EACL 2012 seeks proposals for tutorials in all areas of computational
linguistics, broadly conceived to include disciplines such as
linguistics (including phycholinguistics and other subfields), speech,
information retrieval and multimodal processing.

We particularly welcome (1) tutorials which cover advances in newly
emerging areas not previously covered in an (E)ACL related tutorial, or
(2) tutorials which provide introductions into related fields which are
potentially relevant for the CL community (e.g. bioinformatics, social
media, human language processing, machine learning techniques). In order
to gather a widespread audience, the interest of the tutorial and the
quality of the instructors will also be taken into account.

REMUNERATION

Remuneration for tutorials is regulated by ACL policies:
http://aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=Policy_on_tutorial_teacher_payment

The conversion to euros will be done as follows: €550 for up to 20
people, plus €25 per person for registrants between 21 to 50, plus €18
per person for registrants greater than 50.

Please NOTE: Remuneration for Tutorial presenters is fixed according to
    the above policy and does not cover registration fees for the main
    conference.

SUBMISSION DETAILS

Proposals for tutorials should contain:

1. A title and brief description of the tutorial content and its
   relevance to the ACL community (not more than 2 pages).

2. A brief outline of the tutorial structure showing that the tutorial's
   core content can be covered in a three-hour slot (excluding a coffee
   break). In exceptional cases six-hour tutorial slots are available as
   well.

3. The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of
   the tutorial instructors, including a one-paragraph statement of
   their research interests and areas of expertise.

4. A list of previous venues and approximate audience sizes, if the same
   or a similar tutorial has been given elsewhere; otherwise an estimate
   of the audience size.

5. A description of special requirements for technical equipment
   (e.g. internet access).  Proposals should be submitted by electronic
   mail, in plain ASCII text, to tutorials at eacl2012 dot org, no later
   than September 30th 2011.

    The subject line should be: "EACL 2012 TUTORIAL PROPOSASeptember
    30th, 2011L".

PLEASE NOTE:

- only proposals submitted by e-mail will be taken into account.

- you will receive email confirmation from us that your prSeptember
  30th, 2011oposal has been received. If you do not receive this
  confirmation 24 hours after sending the proposal, please contact us
  personally using both e.agirre at ehu dot es and lieve.macken at

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
*********************************************************************
2nd Workshop on Statistical Parsing of
Morphology-Rich Languages (SPMRL 2011)

<https://sites.google.com/site/spmrl2011/>

Collocated with IWPT 2011 (October 5-7, 2011)
http://www.dcu.ie/conferences/iwpt/


Workshop date: October 6, 2011 (afternoon)
Location: Dublin City University, 
Early registration through September 15, 2011


-----------------------------------------------
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested in
parsing languages with richer morphological structures than in English,
and to provide a forum for discussing the challenges associated with
parsing such languages and sharing strategies towards their solutions.
We are interested in presentations relating to actively studied areas of
research including the adaptation of existing parsing techniques to new
languages, the design of new models that take morphological information
into account, the implementation of models that allow robust statistics
to be obtained in the face of high word-form variation, and so on.

You are cordially invited to attend the talks and to participate in the
discussion.

Registration is included in IWPT's registration fee.  The IWPT 2011
registration form has all information about registration deadlines and
fees.  <http://www.dcu.ie/conferences/iwpt/registration.shtml>

du 19 au 21 octobre sont ouvertes !

======================== Appel à participation ========================

MARAMI 2011 :http://marami-2011.imag.fr/
Seconde conférence sur les Modèles et l?Analyse des Réseaux : Approches 
Mathématiques et Informatique
Du 19 au 21 octobre 2011 à Grenoble

_Conférence MARAMI_

Le Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique de Grenoble (LIG) organise
les deuxièmes rencontres MARAMI 2011, qui seront structurées autour de
conférences invitées ainsi que des présentations de chercheurs et
d?industriels du domaine.

Les réseaux constituent un modèle d?information et de connaissances de
plus en plus exploité ces dernières années pour modéliser mais aussi
pour simuler des comportements du vivant et celui de systèmes
informatiques et sociaux. Leur efficacité dans les divers domaines
d'application, tels que les réseaux en biologie, les réseaux sociaux ou
les réseaux informatiques, est cependant tributaire de modèles et de
méthodes formelles d?analyse de leur architecture, de leur
fonctionnement et de leur évolution.

L?objectif de la conférence MARAMI est de fournir un cadre d?échanges et
de diffusion des travaux scientifiques entre les communautés issues des
mathématiques et de l?informatique, qui présentent une forte synergie,
pour appréhender des problématiques communes ou complémentaires. Dans ce
sens, cette conférence constitue une occasion privilégiée permettant
d?échanger les expertises et les expériences capitalisées dans chacune
des communautés sur l?analyse, la modélisation des réseaux et leur
déploiement dans les nouvelles technologies, notamment de l?informatique
et de la communication.

Les thématiques privilégiées de ces journées sont organisées en trois
grands axes :

Analyse et visualisation de réseaux réels
   . recherche de communautés, classification,
   . recherche de motifs fréquents,
   . visualisation et exploration de grands graphes, ...
Modélisation dans les réseaux
   . simulations de phénomènes sur les réseaux,
   . évolutions de réseaux,
   . graphes aléatoires, ...
Applications
   . réseaux sociaux,
   . réseaux biologiques,
   . réseaux pair à pair,
   . systèmes de recommandation, filtrage collaboratif,
   . systèmes d'aide à la décision (marketing viral, épidémies),
   . systèmes multi-agents,
   . ontologies / web sémantique, ...

Author: Violeta Seretan Title: Syntax-Based Collocation Extraction 

Simultaneously published in print and as an e-book: ISBN (hardcover):
978-94-007-0133-5 ISBN (e-book): 978-94-007-0134-2

Description:

Syntax-Based Collocation Extraction is the first book to offer a
comprehensive, up-to-date review of the theoretical and applied work on
word collocations. Backed by solid theoretical results, the
computational experiments described based on data in four languages
provide support for the book's basic argument for using syntax-driven
extraction as an alternative to the current cooccurrence-based
extraction techniques to efficiently extract collocational data. The
work described in Syntax-Based Collocation Extraction focuses on using
linguistic tools for corpus-based identification of collocations. It
takes advantage of recent advances in parsing to propose a novel deep
syntactic analytic collocation extraction that has applicability to a
range of important core tasks in Computational Linguistics. The book is
useful for anyone interested in computational analysis of texts,
collocation phenomena, and multi-word expressions in general.

Special issue on “Information Mining and Retrieval on the Web”

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

Important dates:
---------------------

Submission deadline: October 6, 2011

Notification date: November 21, 2011

Focus of the special issue
--------------------------------

This special issue aims to bring together researchers from both
communities, Information Retrieval and Data Mining, working around the
problems of Information mining and retrieval on the web. The development
of Web 2.0 has led to the proliferation of tools for internet users to
interact directly on the Web content through, annotations, reviews,
comments, opinions.... The content of Web pages is no longer a static
text or a fixed image, but also a user-generated data (blogs,
twitter…). This fact has led to the emergence of new problems related to
the analysis, mining, searching and visualizing information.

The objective of this special issue is to provide a framework for
researchers from both communities to exchange views and experiences on
Information mining and retrieval issues (web page, annotations, blogs,
queries).

Papers describing theoretical aspects, prototype systems, tools and
techniques and applications, as well as future directions are welcome.


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

- Information mining and retrieval on the web

- Queries Analysis and Mining on the Web

-  Search and Mining in blogs

- Opinion Detection on the Web

- Folksonomy (annotation/social indexing)

- Social information mining and retrieval

- Temporal information retrieval, mining and extraction

 

Submission details
-----------------------

Manuscripts should be written in English and prepared for publication in
accordance with the following instructions: <http://www.journal-i3.org/>
http://www.journal-i3.org/. The length of the paper is limited to 30
pages.  Submissions should be sent in pdf format to
<mailto:Rim.Faiz at ihec.rnu.tn> Rim.Faiz at ihec.rnu.tn (cc:
rimfaiz at yahoo.fr).

 

Papers will be evaluated based on their originality, presentation as
well as relevance and contribution to the field of Information mining
and retrieval on the web. All papers will be rigorously refereed by 3
peer reviewers.  Submission of a manuscript to this special issue
implies that no similar paper is already accepted or will be submitted
to any other conference or journal.

ontologies, en particulier au sein d'interactions avec des utilisateurs
ou bien en lien avec des documents textuels, fait ressortir les liens
forts qui existent entre ontologies et langues naturelles. D'une part,
la construction des ontologies utilise souvent des ressources textuelles
dans le cadre de l'apprentissage d'ontologies à partie de texte
(Ontology Learning from Texts). D'autre part les ontologies servent de
support pour l'annotation de textes en vue de l'interrogation sémantique
de corpus, de traduction ou d'accès multilingue à des ressources.

En tant que représentation des connaissances, un lexique met l'accent
sur les propriétés et relations linguistiques des mots alors que les
ontologies se focalisent sur des concepts et des relations
conceptuelles. L'interface entre ces deux niveaux de description a fait
l'objet de travaux, au travers notamment des notions de Ressource
Termino-Ontologique (RTO) et d'Ontologie Lexicale. Dans les deux cas, on
s'interroge sur la manière d'articuler des modèles de connaissances et
leur expression linguistique, c'est-à-dire à la fois le lexique associé
à ces connaissances et son insertion dans les discours qui l'utilisent.


        Lien avec Ontolex, "Ontology Lexica" et TIA

Une série de conférences, les ateliers OntoLex, a permis de définir les
problématiques de recherche relatives à la définition de représentations
pertinentes et riches à la fois pour favoriser des traitements
linguistiques élaborés sur des éléments lexicaux, et pour donner un
accès performant aux connaissances qu'il peut être pertinent de leur
associer. Une des questions centrales est celle de la représentation de
ces informations, linguistiques et conceptuelles. Cette question a été
reformulée en "comment articuler la représentation d'éléments langagiers
et d'une ontologie ?". Les réponses sont diverses suivant les
applications visées, les théories sémantiques retenues ou encore les
hypothèses relatives à la dynamique du sens et des interprétations.

Dans la lignée de ces ateliers, le groupe "Ontology Lexica" a vu le
jour. Il s'agit d'une communauté d'intérêt du W3C qui cherche non
seulement à parvenir à un standard en matière de représentation de la
composante lexicale des ontologies, mais aussi à recueillir des
expériences, évaluer les atouts de ce type de représentation etc. Les
différentes problématique identifiées sont exposées ici:
http://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/

Ainsi, les questions relatives aux ontologies et à leur lexique méritent
d'être traitées dans le cadre de la conférence TIA, qui a promu
jusqu'ici des travaux novateurs en terminologie, remettant nottamment en
question une approche positiviste qui fige le sens et les
représentations. La conférence a particulièrement été le lieu de débats
pour définir la notion de ressource termino-ontologique, qui rejoint
celle d'ontologie avec composante lexicale.


        Thèmes de l'atelier

Cet atelier a pour but de réunir des chercheurs issus du domaine de la
représentation sémantique des connaissances, du traitement automatique
des langues, de la linguistique ou de la terminologie, qui ont eu à
aborder la question de l'interaction entre ontologies et lexiques. Les
exposés présentés lors de cet atelier pour traiter des questions
suivantes :

- exposé de modèles et représentations associant ontologies et
  composante lexicale ou terminologique;

- retour d'expérience montrant la plus-value de telles représentations,
  et d'applications utilisant ces représentations;

- notion de "contextes riche en connaissance" et leur prise en compte
  dans les modèles de représentation;

- intérêt de ces représentations pour faciliter des traitements
  linguistiques, à gérer le multi-linguisme ou l'accès à des éléments
  d'ontologie;

- intérêt de ces représentations pour rendre compte de polysémies,
  d'évolution du sens dans le temps ou encore de la dynamique des
  connaissances.

Cette liste n'est pas exhaustive et toute proposition de question ou de
problématisation sera la bienvenue.

        Ontologies and lexicons

During the last ten years, a large range of uses of ontologies, mainly
user-interactive applications, access to document content, text analysis
or information retrieval, have stressed the strength of the connection
between ontologies and natural language. Firstly, textual resources can
be used for learning ontologies from text, or at least to guide an
interactive analysis of textual content to build ontologies. Secondly,
ontology based semantic annotation and search, multilingual access to
information, are some of the key features of the Semantic Web. One of
the cornerstones then is to define the way in which knowledge models can
be connected with their linguistic formulations. In particular, various
studies defined representations of the lexical entries that contain
information about how ontology elements (classes, properties,
individuals etc.) are realized in multiple languages.

Considered as a knowledge representation, a lexicon gathers the
linguistic properties of terms and their syntactic relations, whereas an
ontology focus on a conceputal model. So the interface between these two
layers is regularly discussed, in particular thanks to the notions of
Lexical Ontology and Termino-Ontological Ressources (TOR). In both
cases, the question is how to articulate knowledge models and their
linguistic formulation, which refers to lexical entries and to their
insertion in the discourse where they are used.


        Relations within TIA, OntoLex workshops and the W3C "ontology
        and lexica" community group

In this scope, the OntoLex workshops have been organized. They made it
possible to define research issues about the definition of rich and
relevant models that can be used both to support linguistic processing
based on lexical entities, and to provide an efficient access to

knowledge representations. One of the key questions is about the joint
representation of linguistic and conceptual information. These question
turn out to be "which are the features required to represent lexical and
ontological entities? how can these representation schemes be
connected?" Possible answers are as diverse as the applications that
include these models, the underlying semantic theories or the hypotheses
related to the dynamics of meaning and interpretation.

Following these workhops, the "Ontology Lexica" W3C community group was
born this year. Among its goals are not only the development of models
for the representation of lexica (and machine readable dictionaries)
relative to ontologies, but also the collection of best practices and
experiment feed-back that demonstrate the added-value of such
representations. The mission and research focus of th egroup are listed
here: http://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/

These research issues about ontologies and a lexicon are very relevant
for the TIA conference, that, up to now, has been promoting innovating
works in terminology, questionning the positivist view that freezes the
representation of meaning and its interpretation. The TIA conference
questionned in particular the notion of terminological and ontological
ressource (TOR), which is close to representations like ontologies with
a lexical component.

Ever since it was set up 20 years ago, the TIA research group has
challenged the positivist dogma. By using NLP tools, its members have
contributed to shaking the belief that there is a gap between scientific
and ordinary language. More generally, corpus analysis has weakened some
certainties related to term definition, in particular the term-concept
tie or the association of "concept" and "signifié".


        Topics

The talks to be given during this workshop can deal any of the following
issues:
- presentation of models and representatiions that combine ontologies
  with lexical or terminological entities;
- use-cases that illustrate the added-value of these representations
  inside software applications;
- notion of "knowledge rich context" and how it can be taken into
  account in knwoledge representation;
- ability of these representations to improve linguistic analyses and
  language processing or access to ontology entities;
- ability to use these representations to account for polysemy, meaning
  change over time, or knowledge evolution.

The above questions do not form a closed list and any other proposal of
questions or issues will be examined.

Bonjour,

Le titrage automatique est une tâche consistant à attribuer
automatiquement un titre à un texte. Plusieurs titres peuvent être
pertinents pour un même texte (certains titres peuvent contenir des
tournures humoristiques, jeux de mots, emphases, etc.) et d'autres
pas. Dans le cadre de mes travaux de thèse, je m'intéresse à la
problématique du titrage automatique. Il est crucial de comparer un
titre produit automatiquement avec un titre réel.

C'est pourquoi nous vous sollicitons afin de participer à l'évaluation
en ligne de nos méthodes de titrage. L'évaluation peut être réalisée en
plusieurs fois.

Pour accéder à l'évaluation :
http://www.lirmm.fr/~lopez/Titrage_general/evaluation_web2/

Les résultats de cette évaluation permettront, nous l'espérons, de
conclure sur le choix des méthodes automatiques à adopter dans le but de
produire un titre pertinent et/ou accrocheur. Les personnes ayant
participé à cette évaluation recevront les résultats par mail.

Un titre évalué, un grand pas pour ma thèse :)

Merci !

Cordialement,

Cédric

Résumé :

The search for conceptual primes in language began in the 17^th century
with Leibniz. He posited the existence of an /alphabetum cogitationum
humanarum/, an alphabet of human thoughts, which he believed could be
discovered by experimental semantic analysis, i.e. by attempting a large
number of definitions of ordinary words in order to discover which
meanings can be defined without circularity and which cannot. It was a
conception closely akin to Descartes's, Pascal's and Arnauld's pursuit
of "clear ideas" and indefinable words.

After Leibniz's death the project fell of the linguistic and
philosophical agenda, until the second half of the 20^th century, when
it was taken up again by the Polish semanticist Andrzej Bogus?awski. It
was subsequently turned into a large-scale research program in the work
of linguists in the Natural Semantic Metalanguage paradigm program,
initiated in my l972 book /Semantic Primitives/ and later developed
jointly with my Australian colleague Cliff Goddard.

Leibniz never proposed anything like a complete list of the elements 
making up the presumed "alphabet of human thoughts". As of 2010, 
however, NSM researchers have advanced a complete and testable set of 
fundamental human concepts that surface in all languages.

Thus, this talk will report on the culmination of a long search: the
discovery of a set of sixty four elementary meanings common to all
languages and presumably innate.Two versions of this set, English and
French will be presented in my talk. The potential of this set as a
precise tool for investigating meanings and as a common measure for
comparing meanings and ideas across languages and cultures will be
illustrated with French and English examples.

In particular, I will focus on the French words /douleur /and /bonheur 
/and their putative English equivalents /pain /and /happiness/. I will 
also talk about the English cultural keyword /empirical /and I will show 
how it differs in meaning from the French word /empirique/. More 
broadly, I will discuss the cultural underpinnings of such differences 
in the meaning of words and the new vistas that the discovery of 
universal conceptual primes opens for lexicography, language teaching 
and the scientific investigations of languages, cognition and culture.

Résumé automatique de documents

une approche statistique

Collection Recherche d’information et web

dirigée par Bernadette Bouchon-Meunier

Juan-Manuel Torres-Moreno

Le résumé automatique de textes est une discipline du traitement
automatique de langues (TAL) qui a pour objectif de compresser les
documents textuels. Ce processus de compression implique une perte
d’information. Déterminer la pertinence de l’information est ici une des
difficultés majeures du procédé.

Cet ouvrage dresse un panorama historique des différentes approches,
depuis les travaux fondateurs de H.P. Luhn jusqu’aux dernières
recherches menées en TAL et dans diverses disciplines connexes.

Plusieurs méthodes proposées pour résoudre les problématiques du résumé
automatique sont étudiées : les algorithmes de résumé mono et
multidocuments, le résumé cross- et multilingue, le résumé de documents
spécialisés, la compression automatique de phrases et le résumé par
analyse rhétorique.

L’évaluation des résumés – problème ouvert et difficile – est aussi
exposée dans ses approches manuelle et automatique. Plusieurs
applications du résumé automatique de documents sont également
présentées, ainsi que les résumés de documents spécialisés (chimie
organique et biomédecine).

Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux étudiants, chercheurs, linguistes,
informaticiens, mathématiciens ou ingénieurs intéressés dans les
techniques et les algorithmes de TAL.

L’auteur

Docteur en informatique (INPG), HDR et maître de conférences à l’UAPV
(Avignon), Juan-Manuel Torres-Moreno est professeur associé à l’Ecole
Polytechnique de Montréal et chercheur à l’UNAM (Mexico). Il est
spécialisé en TAL et résumé automatique depuis plus de 10 ans.

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

 LES CLASSIFICATIONS EN LINGUISTIQUE :
Problèmes, Méthodologies, Enjeux

6, 7 & 8 Juin 2012, Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg


Colloque organisé conjointement par les doctorants de l'équipe «
Linguistique, Langues, Parole » (LiLPa, UR 1339, Université de
Strasbourg), les doctorants de l'Institut de Philologie Romane
(Université de Bochum, Allemagne) et l’unité mixte de recherche ATILF
(Université Nancy 2).


L'activité de classification fait partie intégrante de la démarche
scientifique. En linguistique, au-delà des questions concernant la
typologie des langues, classer pose des problèmes et implique des enjeux
à tous les niveaux de l'analyse. L'objectif de ce colloque est d'inviter
à une réflexion autant sur la méthodologie adoptée en amont, que sur la
finalité des classements, en passant par le choix et la pertinence des
critères retenus.

Notre souhait est ainsi de réunir des jeunes chercheurs (doctorants et
jeunes docteurs) en Sciences du Langage, autour de questions
transversales : Pourquoi classer ? Comment classer ? Que classe-t-on ?
Dans quels buts ? Que faire de ce qui n'est pas "classable" ?

 Une grande attention sera accordée aux communications qui contribueront
à développer une réflexion à propos des problématiques suivantes :

- L'établissement des catégories : a priori (les catégories étant
  préétablies) ou a posteriori (les catégories découlant des faits
  observés) ;

- Les relations entre les catégories : possibilités, modalités et
  intérêts d'établir des continuum ;

- Les critères à prendre en compte pour décider de l'appartenance d'un
  élément à une catégorie ;

- L'articulation entre les critères retenus et les objectifs visés ;

- Réflexion métalinguistique : différence entre catégorisation,
  classification, typologie ;

- Toute autre proposition en accord avec le thème du colloque.

Ce colloque sera l'occasion de réunir des jeunes chercheurs, en leur
offrant la possibilité de présenter leurs travaux respectifs,
d'échanger, de croiser leurs regards et expériences. Il s'agit avant
tout d'une rencontre autour d'une problématique transversale - celle des
classifications dans les études du langage.

Organisé sans privilégier une école ou orientation théorique
particulière, chaque domaine peut y trouver sa place. Les candidats
seront attentifs à proposer une communication accessible aux
non-spécialistes de leur domaine, de manière à ce que l'échange profite
à tous. L'objectif étant en effet que la réflexion menée dans un domaine
spécifique constitue un apport fructueux pour l'ensemble de la
communauté.

Call for papers
-------------------

Classifications in Linguistics: Methodology, Problems, Challenges
6, 7 & 8 June 2012, University of Strasbourg, Strasbourg


This conference is organized by Ph.D. students from the research group
Linguistique, Langues, Parole (LiLPa, UR 1339, University of Strasbourg,
France), the Institute of Romance Philology (Ruhr-Universität Bochum,
Germany) and from the joint research unit ATILF (Nancy 2).

Classification constitutes an essential part of scientific
proceedings. In linguistics, beyond questions concerning language
typology, classifying raises many different problems and involves
challenges at every level of analysis.

The aim of this conference is to provide a basis for reflection on
methodological issues as well on the implications of such
classifications, including the choices and relevance of the selected
criteria.

Thus, our aim is to gather young researchers in linguistics (students in
Master’s degree programmes, Ph.D. students and Post-Docs) in order to
examine and discuss cross-disciplinary questions: Why do we classify?
How do we classify? What do we classify? What is the purpose of
classification? How do we deal with non-classifiable items?

Special attention will be paid to papers that focus on one of the
following issues:

- The establishment of categories: a priori (pre-established categories)
  or a posteriori (categories that can be derived from observed facts);

- The relations between categories: possibilities, modalities and the
  reasons for establishing a continuum;

- Criteria to be considered in order to determine whether an item can be
  included or not in a certain category;

- The link between retained criteria and objectives;

- Metalinguistic considerations: differences between categorization,
  classification, typology;

- Any other proposal within the field of the conference theme.

This event will be an opportunity for young researchers to share their
preoccupations, hypotheses and experiences. Our primary concern is to
organize a conference focused on one broad cross-disciplinary issue,
that of classification in linguistics.
The organizers do not favor a particular school of thought or specific
linguistic theory. Any related field or sub-field of research may be of
interest. Applicants are kindly asked to submit a paper accessible to
non-specialists in the field to allow open discussion and exchange. The
aim is to foster interaction and debate on a specific linguistic issue
so that contributions may provide the research community with new
insights in this area.

Appel à communications

[English version below]

Dans le cadre du 9ème colloque international TIA qui se tiendra à Paris
les 8-10 novembre prochain (http://tia2011.crim.fr/), est organisé un
atelier sur le thème :

Ressources termino-ontologiques pour l'extraction d'information
subjective : comment l'objectivité des ontologies s'accommode-elle de la
subjectivité des sentiments ?

NOUVELLE ECHEANCE : DIMANCHE 23 OCTOBRE 2011

Organisé par l'Equipe de Recherche Textes, Informatique, Multilinguisme
(ERTIM, INALCO)

Jeudi 10 novembre 2011, INALCO, 65 rue des Grands Moulins, Paris XIIIe.

L'extraction d'information subjective (détection d'opinion, de la
subjectivité, analyse des sentiments) apparait aujourd'hui comme une
application majeure de la recherche d'informations sur le Web. On parle
à cet égard de « vocabulaire des sentiments », « lexique des sentiments
» et « ontologie des sentiments ». Autrement dit, on pose comme fondée,
aux plans épistémologique et linguistique, la constitution de classes de
mots spécifiques à l'expression des sentiments susceptible d'être
subsumées en ontologie. Or, du point de vue de la doctrine
terminologique – née, rappelons-le, d'une alliance avec la science telle
qu'on la concevait à l'orée du XXème siècle et qui revendique les
attributs de rigueur, cohérence et systématicité – parler de
terminologie des sentiments constitue bel et bien un oxymore. La
convergence entre langue et science correspondait à un impératif
imprescriptible, celui de contrôler la langue scientifique. Le programme
de la terminologie/ontologie concernait ainsi la maîtrise des
vocabulaires scientifiques et techniques en en donnant un accès
onomasiologique (du concept au mot). L'objectif de rendre plus
opératoire et rationnel le modèle de production lexicale s'accompagnait
d'un appauvrissement relatif de l'expression syntaxique souvent
transformée en expression nominale. La volonté de dépasser le langage
ordinaire, jugé équivoque, flottant et incertain, exigeait une «
décantation » de la phrase en expulsant, par exemple, les adjectifs, par
essence subjectifs et émotionnels. L'aboutissement du texte
programmatique de la Théorie générale de la terminologie de Vienne
(VGTT), publié au début des années trente, découle bien du postulat que
la connaissance scientifique procède du raisonnement logique et que son
unité minimale, le terme, est « pur » de toute connotation, univoque,
précis, monoréférentiel et ontologisable. Donc aux antipodes de la
langue commune qui décrit le plus bas niveau d'abstraction de la
connaissance et qui est juste capable de produire des significations
émotives et non-cognitives. L'analyse d'opinion, telle qu'elle est
envisagée aujourd'hui, se trouvait d'emblée disqualifiée.

Dès sa constitution, il y a vingt ans, le groupe TIA a contesté le dogme
positiviste. En s'emparant des outils développés par le TAL, ses membres
ont contribué à ébranler la croyance en une dualité entre langue
scientifique et langue commune. D'une manière générale, l'analyse en
corpus a mis à mal les certitudes concernant la définition du terme, en
particulier la relation terme-concept ou l'assimilation du « concept »
et du « signifié ».


Le travail de désacralisation accompli par les chercheurs qui se sont
associés au fil des ans à la plate-forme de TIA a naturellement concerné
le courant ontologiste dont les excès sont incarnés par le
réductionnisme de WordNet et, plus récemment, les ambitions de
SentiWordNet.


En tenant compte du cadre historique ainsi esquissé, des orientations
épistémologiques et des réalisations pratiques qui ont structuré les
activités de TIA depuis ses origines, nous proposons un atelier autour
des thèmes suivants :

- Quel est le statut des ressources termino-ontologiques (RTO) des
  sentiments : quelle est la nature des « sentiments-concepts » (quelles
  catégories grammaticales) ? quelles sont les relations qui relient les
  sentiment-concepts de l'ontologie ? quelles sont les relations
  (hyperonymie, méronymie, etc.) possibles dans une ontologie des
  sentiments ? quel serait le sentiment racine (unique beginner) à
  partir duquel on construit la hiérarchie ?

- Les RTO sont-elles stables malgré les variations en genre (critique,
  post de forum, billet et commentaires de blog, etc.) ?

- Rôle ou place des RTO dans les applications de détection des
  sentiments : sont-elles centrales ? comment s'articulent-elles avec
  les autres niveaux linguistiques (morphologie, syntaxe) ?

- Dans WordNet les synsets servent d'interlingua. Quel langage de
  représentation translingue est proposé pour les ontologies des
  sentiments (par exemple SentiWordNet) ?

Cette liste n'est pas exhaustive et toute proposition de question ou de
problématisation sera la bienvenue.

Modalités de soumission : une à deux pages de résumé (+ une
bibliographie) à envoyer avant le dimanche 23 octobre à ertim at inalco.fr

Call for papers

As part of the 9th International Conference on Terminology and
Artificial Intelligence (TIA 2011), ERTIM (INALCO) organizes a workshop:

Terminological and ontological resources for extracting subjective
information: how does ontology objectivity deal with sentiment
subjectivity?

NEW DEADLINE : OCTOBER 23th

Thursday, November 10th, 2011
INALCO, 65 rue des Grands Moulins, 75013 Paris (France).

Subjective information extraction (opinion mining, sentiment analysis,
subjectivity analysis) today is a key application of web-based
information retrieval. This has given rise to such phrases as "sentiment
word-list", "sentiment lexicon" or "sentiment ontology". In other words,
epistemologically and linguistically speaking, one takes it for granted
that there are specific word classes for conveying sentiments that are
liable to be subsumed in an ontology.  Yet, from the point of view of
terminological doctrine, which was born from an alliance with
science---the way it was received at the start of the 20th century---and
lays claim to such features as rigour, consistency and systematicity,
talking about sentiment terminology is a blatant oxymoron.  The
convergence between science and language was the result of a vital
need---that of controlling scientific language.  The gist of
terminologies/ontologies was related to commanding scientific and
technical vocabularies by accessing them in an onomasiological way---
from concept to word.  The goal of making word formation more rational
and operative went along with a relative depletion of syntactic
expression, which was often turned into noun groups. The will to go
beyond ordinary language, felt to be equivocal, unstabilised and fuzzy,
demanded that the sentence be stripped of such items as adjectives,
which are by nature subjective and emotional.  The publication of the
Vienna General Theory of Terminology in the early 1930s, setting out the
programme of terminology, stems from the premise that scientific
knowledge is based on logical reasoning and that its minimal unit---the
"term"---is devoid of any overtone, has a single meaning, is accurate,
refers to a single entity and can be included in an ontology.  This is
poles apart from ordinary language, which conveys the lowest level of
abstract knowledge and is only capable of producing emotional and
non-cognitive meanings. Opinion analysis, as it is done today, would
simply not fit the bill.

Ever since it was set up 20 years ago, the TIA research group has
challenged the positivist dogma. By using NLP tools, its members have
contributed to shaking the belief that there is a gap between scientific
and ordinary language. More generally, corpus analysis has weakened some
certainties related to term definition, in particular the term-concept
tie or the association of "concept" and "signifié".

The criticism of terminology that TIA-related researchers have embarked
on was bound to take on the ontology movement whose excess is embodied
in the limits of WordNet and, more recently, the ambitions of
SentiWordNet.

Factoring in the historical framework briefly sketched out above as well
as the epistemological directions and the practical achievements that
have been part of TIA's activity from the start, we offer a workshop
that will focus on such issues as:

* What is the standing of ontological-terminological sentiment
  resources? What is the nature of "concept-sentiments" (and their parts
  of speech)? What are the ties that connect the ontology's
  "concept-sentiments"? What are the relations (hypernym, meronym, etc)
  that can be built into a sentiment ontology? What would the root
  element be, which would subsume all others?

* Are ontological-terminological sentiment resources stable despite
  genre variation (review, forum post, blog post, blog comment ...)?

* What is the part played by ontological-terminological sentiment
  resources in sentiment-detection applications? Do they play a key
  part? How do they combine with other linguistic levels (morphology,
  syntax)?

* In WordNet, synsets are the interlingua. What is the cross-language
  representation model offered in sentiment ontologies---such as
  SentiWordNet?

The above questions do not form a closed list and any other proposal of
questions or issues will be examined.

Submission: a 1- or 2-page summary (+ bibliography) to be sent by
October 23th to ertim at inalco.fr

APPEL A COMMUNICATIONS

[English version below]

Dans le cadre du 9ème colloque international TIA qui se tiendra à Paris
les 8-10 novembre prochain (http://tia2011.crim.fr/), est organisé un
atelier sur le thème :

*Ontologie et Lexique : nouveaux regards ?*

Organisé par les laboratoires IRIT et CLLE-ERSS en lien avec le groupe 
de travail "ontology Lexica" du W3C. http://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/

*Jeudi 10 novembre 2011, INALCO, 65 rue des Grands Moulins, Paris
 XIIIe.*

date limite de contribution : 21 octobre 2011 (résumé)*


        Ontologies et Lexiques

Depuis près de 10 ans, la diversification de l'utilisation des
ontologies, en particulier au sein d'interactions avec des utilisateurs
ou bien en lien avec des documents textuels, fait ressortir les liens
forts qui existent entre ontologies et langues naturelles. D’une part,
la construction des ontologies utilise souvent des ressources textuelles
dans le cadre de l’apprentissage d’ontologies à partie de texte
(Ontology Learning from Texts). D’autre part les ontologies servent de
support pour l’annotation de textes en vue de l’interrogation sémantique
de corpus, de traduction ou d'accès multilingue à des ressources.

En tant que représentation des connaissances, un lexique met l'accent
sur les propriétés et relations linguistiques des mots alors que les
ontologies se focalisent sur des concepts et des relations
conceptuelles. L’interface entre ces deux niveaux de description a fait
l’objet de travaux, au travers notamment des notions de Ressource
Termino-Ontologique (RTO) et d'Ontologie Lexicale. Dans les deux cas, on
s'interroge sur la manière d'articuler des modèles de connaissances et
leur expression linguistique, c'est-à-dire à la fois le lexique associé
à ces connaissances et son insertion dans les discours qui l'utilisent.


        Lien avec Ontolex, "Ontology Lexica" et TIA

Une série de conférences, les ateliers OntoLex, a permis de définir les
problématiques de recherche relatives à la définition de représentations
pertinentes et riches à la fois pour favoriser des traitements
linguistiques élaborés sur des éléments lexicaux, et pour donner un
accès performant aux connaissances qu'il peut être pertinent de leur
associer. Une des questions centrales est celle de la représentation de
ces informations, linguistiques et conceptuelles. Cette question a été
reformulée en "comment articuler la représentation d'éléments langagiers
et d'une ontologie ?". Les réponses sont diverses suivant les
applications visées, les théories sémantiques retenues ou encore les
hypothèses relatives à la dynamique du sens et des interprétations.

Dans la lignée de ces ateliers, le groupe "Ontology Lexica" a vu le
jour. Il s'agit d'une communauté d'intérêt du W3C qui cherche non
seulement à parvenir à un standard en matière de représentation de la
composante lexicale des ontologies, mais aussi à recueillir des
expériences, évaluer les atouts de ce type de représentation etc. Les
différentes problématique identifiées sont exposées ici:
http://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/

Ainsi, les questions relatives aux ontologies et à leur lexique méritent
d'être traitées dans le cadre de la conférence TIA, qui a promu
jusqu'ici des travaux novateurs en terminologie, remettant nottamment en
question une approche positiviste qui fige le sens et les
représentations. La conférence a particulièrement été le lieu de débats
pour définir la notion de ressource termino-ontologique, qui rejoint
celle d'ontologie avec composante lexicale.


        Thèmes de l'atelier

Cet atelier a pour but de réunir des chercheurs issus du domaine de la 
représentation sémantique des connaissances, du traitement automatique 
des langues, de la linguistique ou de la terminologie, qui ont eu à 
aborder la question de l’interaction entre ontologies et lexiques. Les 
exposés présentés lors de cet atelier pour traiter des questions
suivantes :

- exposé de modèles et représentations associant ontologies et
  composante lexicale ou terminologique;

- retour d'expérience montrant la plus-value de telles représentations,
  et d'applications utilisant ces représentations;

- notion de "contextes riche en connaissance" et leur prise en compte
  dans les modèles de représentation;

- intérêt de ces représentations pour faciliter des traitements
  linguistiques, à gérer le multi-linguisme ou l'accès à des éléments
  d'ontologie;

- intérêt deces représentations pour rendre compte de polysémies,
  d'évolution du sens dans le temps ou encore de la dynamique des
  connaissances.

Cette liste n’est pas exhaustive et toute proposition de question ou de
problématisation sera la bienvenue.

        Ontologies and lexicons

During the last ten years, a large range of uses of ontologies, mainly
user-interactive applications, access to document content, text analysis
or information retrieval, have stressed the strength of the connection
between ontologies and natural language. Firstly, textual resources can
be used for learning ontologies from text, or at least to guide an
interactive analysis of textual content to build ontologies. Secondly,
ontology based semantic annotation and search, multilingual access to
information, are some of the key features of the Semantic Web. One of
the cornerstones then is to define the way in which knowledge models can
be connected with their linguistic formulations. In particular, various
studies defined representations of the lexical entries that contain
information about how ontology elements (classes, properties,
individuals etc.) are realized in multiple languages.

Considered as a knowledge representation, a lexicon gathers the
linguistic properties of terms and their syntactic relations, whereas an
ontology focus on a conceputal model. So the interface between these two
layers is regularly discussed, in particular thanks to the notions of
Lexical Ontology and Termino-Ontological Ressources (TOR). In both
cases, the question is how to articulate knowledge models and their
linguistic formulation, which refers to lexical entries and to their
insertion in the discourse where they are used.


        Relations within TIA, OntoLex workshops and the W3C "ontology
        and lexica" community group

In this scope, the OntoLex workshops have been organized. They made it
possible to define research issues about the definition of rich and
relevant models that can be used both to support linguistic processing
based on lexical entities, and to provide an efficient access to
knowledge representations. One of the key questions is about the joint
representation of linguistic and conceptual information. These question
turn out to be "which are the features required to represent lexical and
ontological entities? how can these representation schemes be
connected?" Possible answers are as diverse as the applications that
include these models, the underlying semantic theories or the hypotheses
related to the dynamics of meaning and interpretation.

Following these workhops, the "Ontology Lexica" W3C community group was
born this year. Among its goals are not only the development of models
for the representation of lexica (and machine readable dictionaries)
relative to ontologies, but also the collection of best practices and
experiment feed-back that demonstrate the added-value of such
representations. The mission and research focus of th egroup are listed
here: http://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/

These research issues about ontologies and a lexicon are very relevant
for the TIA conference, that, up to now, has been promoting innovating
works in terminology, questionning the positivist view that freezes the
representation of meaning and its interpretation. The TIA conference
questionned in particular the notion of terminological and ontological
ressource (TOR), which is close to representations like ontologies with
a lexical component.

Ever since it was set up 20 years ago, the TIA research group has
challenged the positivist dogma. By using NLP tools, its members have
contributed to shaking the belief that there is a gap between scientific
and ordinary language. More generally, corpus analysis has weakened some
certainties related to term definition, in particular the term-concept
tie or the association of "concept" and "signifié".


        Topics

The talks to be given during this workshop can deal any of the following
issues:

- presentation of models and representatiions that combine ontologies
  with lexical or terminological entities;

- use-cases that illustrate the added-value of these representations
  inside software applications;

- notion of "knowledge rich context" and how it can be taken into
  account in knwoledge representation;

- abality of these rrepresentations to improve linguistic analyses and
  language processing or access to ontology entities;

- abality tu use these representations to account for polysemy, meaning
  change over time, or knowledge evolution.


The above questions do not form a closed list and any other proposal of
questions or issues will be examined.

LAST CALL - deadline Oct 28 !!!!

                                    
                      CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
                 EACL 2012 / NAACL-HLT 2012 / ACL 2012
          (http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/~kjokinen/WorkshopCFP/)

The European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
(EACL), The North American Chapter of the Association for Computational
Linguistics (NAACL), and The Association for Computational Linguistics
(ACL) invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the
EACL, NAACL, or ACL conferences in the spring and summer of 2012. We
solicit proposals on any topic of interest to the ACL communities.
Workshops will be held at one of the following conference venues:

   * EACL 2012 is the 13th Conference of the European Chapter of the
     Association for Computational Linguistics. It will be held in
     Avignon, April 23 - 27, 2012. The dates for the EACL workshops will
     be April 23-24. The webpage for EACL 2012 is: http://eacl2012.org/.

   * NAACL-HLT 2012 is the 13th Annual Meeting of the North American
     Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics. It will
     be held Montreal, Canada, June 3 - 8, 2012. The dates for the
     NAACL-HLT workshops will be June 7 - 8. The webpage for NAACL-HLT
     2012 is: http://www.naaclhlt2012.org/.

   * ACL 2012 is the 50th Annual Meeting of the Association for
     Computational Linguistics (ACL). It will be held in Jeju, Republic
     of Korea, July 8 - 14, 2012. The ACL workshops will be held July 12
     - 13. The webpage for ACL 2012 is: http://www.acl2012.org/.

Proposals will be jointly reviewed by the workshop organizers for all
three conferences.

        SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Similarly to previous conferences, the submission and reviewing of
workshop proposals for EACL, NAACL-HLT, and ACL will be coordinated.

Proposals for workshops should contain:

    1. A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic
       and content.

    2. The desired workshop length (one or two days), and an estimate of
       the number of attendees.

    3. The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses
       of the organizers, with one-paragraph statements of their
       research interests and areas of expertise.

    4. A list of potential members of the program committee, with an
       indication of which members have already agreed.

    5. A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop.

    6. A description of special requirements for technical needs.

    7. A note specifying which venue(s) (EACL versus NAACL-HLT versus
       ACL) would be acceptable to you; if all are acceptable, you may
       express preference for one or the other.

There will be a single workshop committee, coordinated by the three
sets of workshop chairs. This single committee will review the quality
of the workshop proposals. Once the reviews are complete, the workshop
chairs will work together to assign workshops to each of the three
conferences, taking into account the location preferences given by the
proposers.

The ACL has a set of policies on workshops. You can find the ACL's
general policies on workshops at
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshop-support-general-policy.html,
the financial policy for workshops at
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshop-conf-financial-policy.html,
and the financial policy for SIG workshops at
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshops-Sig-financial-policy.html.

    * Please submit proposals in plain text in the body of an email to the
      workshop organizers:
      eacl.naacl.acl.workshops.2012_AT_helsinki_DOT_fi
      no later than *October 28, 2011, 23:59:59 UTC/GMT*
      (which is 18:59:59 EST, 15:59:59 PST, and 08:59:59 JST on Oct 29).

    * Notification of acceptance of workshop proposals will occur no
      later than *November 11, 2011*.

Since the three conferences will occur at different times, the
timescales for the submission and reviewing of workshop papers, and
the preparation of camera-ready copies, will be different for each
conference. Suggested timescales for each of the conferences are given
below. Workshop organizers should not deviate from this schedule
unless absolutely necessary.

Workshop organisers are also requested to pay attention to the fact that
there will be only a week between the notification of the workshop
acceptance and sending out the first CFPs for the workshop (in case of EACL
and ACL). Thus it is important that the workshop proposals are already well
structured and organised at the time of the submission, to allow quick launch
of the first CFP.

ANNONCE D’UNE JOURNEE D’ETUDE

Qu’est-ce qu’apprendre une langue ?

Journée scientifique organisée le mercredi 14 décembre 2011 par Gilles
Louÿs (EA 1586 Centre des Sciences de la Littérature française, F.ET.E :
Français pour ETudiants Etrangers, Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense) avec
le concours de l’Union des Professeurs de Langues des Grandes Ecoles, du
Centre des Sciences de la Littérature française (Paris Ouest) et des
écoles doctorale Lettres Langues Spectacles et Connaissance, Langage,
Modélisation (Paris Ouest).

Lieu : bâtiment G, salle G 614

Cette journée vise à explorer et définir l’expérience du sujet qui
s’exprime et communique dans une langue autre que la sienne et,
corrélativement, à s’interroger sur la manière dont ce savoir-faire
s’acquiert à travers une gamme de pratiques pédagogiques diverses
empruntées à des domaines d’application multiples.

Le point de vue adopté ici est de considérer que parler dans une autre
langue, c'est passer d’un « corps parlant » à un autre, pour autrui
comme pour soi-même, se faire devenir momentanément un autre individu,
avec les effets cognitifs, sémantiques, émotionnels, relationnels et
culturels que cela suppose.

L’hypothèse défendue est que l’observation de cette démarche dépasse la
simple prise en compte du "para-verbal" (gestes, mimiques,
postures). Par exemple, articuler des sons, tons ou mélodies en japonais
et en espagnol oblige le parleur à placer différemment les divers
muscles mobilisés par l'expression de ce qu'il dit, ce qui lui donne
littéralement un visage et une voix distincts selon la langue qu'il
parle, produisant de lui-même, consciemment ou non, une réalisation
subjective et relationnelle distincte de sa manière d’être dans sa
langue maternelle. Cet aspect fondamental de l’action langagière humaine
est relativement peu décrit, et sa mise en œuvre n’est guère
systématisée ni explicitée en didactique des langues.

Dans ce contexte, l’objectif de cette journée est de donner forme et
substance à ce point de vue et d’en explorer les conséquences
pédagogiques susceptibles de devenir le lieu d'une rupture
épistémologique :

a) du point de vue théorique : du fait que les recherches en matière de
langue (ou de discours) se focalisent en général précisément sur les
unités dites "linguistiques" sans se préoccuper de l'amont (la réalité
des conditions) dont elles sont l'aval (le résultat et la formalisation
souvent désincarnée) ;

b) du point de vue pratique : du fait que, de manière générale, les
didactiques sont tributaires des domaines habituellement convoqués dans
l’apprentissage des langues, tels la grammaire, le lexique, la
phonétique, la sémantique, la pragmatique, la culture (représentations,
stéréotypes…), et n’ont pas les moyens de se référer à une compréhension
autre (et plus globale) de ce qu’est l’expérience de la parole.

Ce colloque se propose de mettre en lumière les théories actuelles qui
font toute sa place au vécu corporel de l’apprenant dans la
compréhension ou la production linguistique (en tenant compte des
rapports aux courants pertinents en linguistique, psychologie,
phénoménologie), et de les relier aux pratiques pédagogiques faisant
appel au « corps parlant » (théâtre, gestuelle, danse, musique, chant,
orthophonie…) qui en illustrent sur le terrain la pertinence didactique.

23es Journées francophones d'Ingénierie des Connaissances

http://ic2012.crc.jussieu.fr/  (en cours de construction)

Paris au Centre des Cordeliers du 25 juin au 29 juin 2012
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Présentation de la conférence :

L'Ingénierie des connaissances est une discipline intégrée à
l'Intelligence Artificielle, fondée sur les connaissances, leur
acquisition, leurs modèles, leurs traitements dans des environnements
informatiques. Elle s'appuie sur d'autres disciplines comme la
philosophie, la linguistique, les mathématiques, les sciences
cognitives, l'ergonomie pour mettre à la disposition d'activités
humaines des méthodes et outils "intelligents" ou tout du moins capables
d'aider l'humain dans ses activités.

La conférence IC réunit la communauté francophone et est un lieu
d'échanges et de réflexions sur cette discipline qui doit prendre en
compte l'essor des Sciences et Technologies de l'Information et de la
Communication, notamment des technologies liées au Web et leurs
retombées sur les pratiques individuelles et collectives.

La conférence d'ingénierie des connaissances est le lieu où la
communauté francophone expose et confronte ses théories, ses pratiques,
ses méthodes et outils. Un des enjeux récents est la mise en place de
standards d'évaluation de ses méthodes et outils.

Thèmes de la conférence :

Les propositions portant sur le thème « Modèles, outils d'évaluation en
Ingénierie des connaissance » seront particulièrement bienvenues mais
les communications peuvent porter plus largement sur l'un des thèmes
suivants dès lors qu'elles sont originales et qu'elles ont une portée
théorique, méthodologique ou pratique (liste non exhaustive) :

* Modèles, outils d'évaluation en Ingénierie des connaissance
* Modèles de connaissances : conception, réutilisation, évolution,
  évaluation, exploitation
* Ontologies : construction, types d'ontologies, intégration et
  alignement, rôle des ontologies de référence
* Gestion de la dynamique des ontologies (construction, association
  entre ontologies, gestion du temps et de l'espace, ...)
* Traitements et raisonnements sur les connaissances
* Acquisition de connaissances à partir de textes, à partir d'images, à
  partir de données non structurées
* Découverte interactive de connaissances dans les données, dans les
  historiques, dans les interactions, sur le web...
* Web sémantique, web social
* Connaissance et réseaux sociaux sur le web
* Inférence et règles métier : acquisition conception, réutilisation,
  évolution, évaluation, exploitations
* Conception d'interactions et interfaces avec des systèmes à base de
  connaissances
* Visualisation de connaissances
* Applications en santé, industrielles, éducation, juridiques, etc.
* Activités coopératives, pratiques collectives et distribuées
* Ingénierie et Gestion des connaissances pour l'entreprise
* Développements théoriques et interdisciplinaires de l'ingénierie des
  connaissances

Soumissions :

Les auteurs sont invités à présenter des articles longs, des articles
courts, des posters et des démonstrations. Pour chaque type de
soumission (article long, article court) un prix du meilleur papier sera
décerné par le comité de programme. Le prix du meilleur poster sera
attribué par les participants à la conférence à l'issue de la séance de
posters.

Articles longs :

(16 p, présentation orale 20 mm, 10 mn discussion)
Sont concernés des travaux aboutis, présentant des résultats validés ou
des synthèses fouillées. Une attention particulière sera portée sur
l'évaluation des résultats présentés.

Articles courts :

(8p, présentation orale de 10 mn, 5 mn discussion)
Sont concernés des travaux en cours ou au stade de résultats partiels de
recherches ou appliqués. Ce type de soumission correspond à des travaux
innovants de qualité, mais dont la maturité ne permet pas des
élaborations complètes et des conclusions définitives.

Posters :

(3p, présentation dans un espace de discussion)
Sont concernés des travaux qui démarrent, les premiers résultats de
jeunes chercheurs. Les posters sont destinés à provoquer la discussion
au sein de la communauté pour accompagner au mieux le démarrage des
travaux présentés.

Les auteurs sont invités à indiquer le thème le plus approprié pour leur
soumission.

La conférence d'Ingénierie des connaissances est sous l'égide du GRACQ
(groupe d'acquisition et d'ingénierie des connaissances ) dont le site

Rodolfo Delmonte (Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia)

nous parlera de :

Implicit linguistic entities and the problem of coreference resolution

Résumé:

In my talk I will present current research work in our laboratory which
extends from deep linguistic processing, its application to Q/A,
treebanking and parsing of oral corpora.
At first I will introduce the problem of the recovery of implicit
linguistic entities in the context of coreference resolution in open
domain texts, which can be regarded as the most important task to cope
with in either IR/IE or Q/A. I will present attempts at solving it and
experiments reported in the literature of NLP and in particular
computational linguistics. As most researchers in the field, I also
assume that in order to improve performance of any system, knowledge of
the world, commonsense knowledge and precise linguistic information are
all important prerequisites. I will concentrate then on some specific
cases, using freely available corpora which I will use to test our
system: in particular I will show text entailment and coreference
resolution examples. As will appear, semantic representation should be
made available to the modules taking care of coreference resolution. In
turn, semantic representation requires to be properly treated for
pronominal anaphora in order to be complete.
I will then introduce the parallel topic of implicit arguments as they
are treated within FrameNet framework and show a solution to that.
I will make a short presentation of the Q/A system and show the
effectiveness of a hybrid architecture.

Association for Computational Linguistics. The conference invites the
submission of papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research
on all areas of computational linguistics, broadly conceived to include
disciplines such as psycholinguistics, speech, information retrieval,
multimodal language processing. The conference welcomes theoretical,
empirical, and application-orientated papers as well as papers targeting
emerging domains such as bioinformatics and social media.

The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:

  - phonetics, phonology, and morphology
  - word segmentation, tagging and chunking
  - syntax, parsing, grammar formalisms, and grammar induction
  - semantics
  - pragmatics, discourse, and dialogue
  - generation and summarization
  - information retrieval and  question answering
  - information extraction
  - sentiment analysis and opinion mining
  - machine translation and multilingual systems
  - spoken language processing and language modeling
  - dialogue systems and multimodal systems
  - language resources and tools
  - psychological and mathematical models of language and language
    acquisition
  - machine learning and algorithms for natural language
  - natural language processing applications
  - domain and genre adaptation of data-driven NLP systems
  - evaluation methodology


Important Dates
---------------
Paper submission deadline: November 4, 2011
Author response period: December 27-30, 2011
Notification of acceptance: January 13, 2012
Camera-ready papers due: March 9, 2012
Papers available on-line: April 19, 2012
EACL 2012 Conference: April 23 - 27, 2012

All deadlines refer to 11:59pm Samoa time (UTC/GMT -11 hours)

Requirements
------------
Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed
work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of
completion of the reported results. A paper accepted for presentation at
EACL 2012 cannot be presented at any other meeting with publicly
available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to
other conferences or workshops must indicate this on the submission
page. If the paper is accepted by both EACL 2012 and another meeting or
publication, it must be withdrawn from one of them. Furthermore, its
authors must notify the program chairs, within a week of receiving the
EACL 2012 acceptance notification, whether or not they have chosen EACL
2012 for presentation of their work.

Review and Selection
--------------------
Reviewing of papers will be double-blind, and all submissions will
receive three independent reviews.
Final decisions on the program will be made by the Program Committee,
consisting of the Program Co-Chairs and Area Chairs.
Submissions will be assessed with respect to appropriateness, clarity,
soundness/correctness, meaningful comparison,
originality/innovativeness, and impact of ideas or results.

Publication and Presentation
----------------------------
All papers that are accepted will be published in the proceedings of the
conference, and will be presented orally or as a poster presentation as
determined by the program committee. The decisions as to which papers
will be presented orally and which as poster presentations will be based
on the nature rather than on the quality of the work.
Authors will be also  asked on submission to state their preferred
mode of presentation.
EACL 2012 will continue aiming to give poster presentations a high
status.
There will be no distinction in the conference proceedings between
papers that are assigned different presentation modes.

Submission Information
----------------------
All submissions must be submitted electronically as PDF and must follow
the two-column format of EACL proceedings. Authors are strongly
recommended to use the style files available on the conference web
site. Papers may consist of up to nine (9) pages of content and any
number of additional pages containing references only.

EACL 2012 will also accept papers accompanied by the resource(s)
(software or data) described in the paper. In addition to the regular
review of the research quality of the paper, these papers will also be
reviewed for the quality of the resource that is being made
available. Acceptance or rejection decision will be made based on the
quality of both the research and the software/data component.

As reviewing will be double-blind, the paper should not include the
authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that
reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991)
...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith
previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Authors should not use anonymous
citations and should not include any acknowledgments. Papers that do not
conform to these requirements will be rejected without review.

The deadline for submission is 11:59pm Samoa Time (UTC/GMT -11 hours) on
November 4, 2011.  Additional instructions for electronic submission
will be posted on the conference website at http://eacl2012.org

Mentoring service
-----------------
EACL is providing a mentoring (coaching) service for authors from
regions of the world where English is less emphasized as a language of
scientific exchange. Many authors from these regions, although able to
read the scientific literature in English, have little or no experience
in writing papers in English for conferences such as the E/ACL
meetings. If you would like to take advantage of the service, please
upload your paper in PDF format by September 23, 2011 using the paper
submission software for the mentoring service which will be available at
the conference website. Questions about the mentoring service should be
referred to mentoring at eacl2012.org

Sujet du stage M2 (5-6 mois) : Un langage contrôle pour les Instructions
Nautiques du SHOM

Responsables : Yannis Haralambous (Télécom Bretagne / Lab-STICC),
Georges Dubois (SHOM)

Laboratoire d'accueil : Télécom Bretagne http://www.telecom-bretagne.eu
et Lab-STICC, pôle CID, équipe DECIDE http://www.lab-sticc.fr/

Les langages contrôlés sont des langages artificiels utilisant un
sous-ensemble du vocabulaire, des formes morphologiques, des
constructions grammaticales et des interprétations sémantiques d’une
langue naturelle (dans notre cas : le français). En quelque sorte ils
constituent le pont entre les langages formels et les langues
naturelles. De ce fait, ils remplissent la fonction de communication du
médium texte tout en étant rigoureux et analysables par la machine sans
ambiguïté.

En particulier, ils peuvent être utilisés pour faciliter l’alimentation
de bases de connaissances, dans le cadre d’une interface homme-machine
au moment de la saisie du texte.

Le Service Hydrographique et Océanographique de la Marine (SHOM) publie
depuis plusieurs années les Instructions Nautiques, un recueil de
renseignements généraux, nautiques et réglementaires, destinés aux
navigateurs. Ces informations complètent les cartes marines. Elles sont
obligatoires à bord des navires de commerce et de pêche.

L’Organisation Hydrographique Internationale (OHI) a publié des normes
spécifiant l’échange de données liées à la navigation et notamment un
modèle universel de données hydrographiques (norme S-100, janvier 2010).

Le but de ce stage est d’élaborer un langage contrôlé qui couvre les
besoins des Instructions Nautiques et qui permette l’alimentation de
bases de connaissances conformes à la norme S-100. Comment faire évoluer
le langage selon les évolutions des ontologies concernées et
l'alimentation de la base de connaissances ?

Dans le contexte d’une thèse CIFRE, deux applications seront envisagées
: (a) une interface homme-machine qui analyse en temps réel le texte
saisi par l’opérateur des Instructions Nautiques et qui valide son
appartenance au langage contrôlé ; (b) un outil semi-automatique de
traduction des documents existants dans le langage contrôlé.

Ce stage se concentrera sur la faisabilité d’un langage contrôlé qui
satisfasse les deux contraintes : exploitation optimale du contenu
traditionnel des Instructions Nautiques et adéquation avec la norme
S-100. Un prototype de langage sera élaboré, accompagné des algorithmes
d’extraction de connaissances et d’alimentation d’une base de
connaissance conforme à la norme S-100.

Ce stage est proposé en collaboration avec le SHOM.

Pour candidater : envoyer LM+CV à 
yannis.haralambous [ à ] telecom-bretagne.eu

Annonce pour la création d'un groupe de travail

et 1er appel à participation

Visualisation d'informations, interaction et fouille de données (GT-VIF)

commun à l'Association Francophone d'Interface Homme-Machine (AFIHM) 

et l'association Extraction et Gestion des Connaissances (EGC)

Site web : http://wiki.afihm.org/index.php?title=GT_VIF 

Formulaire d'adhésion :
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFBMamc4RzRFb0hVMmxjSkdEeWpuTXc6MQ

Objectifs 
=======

Ce groupe de travail a pour objectif de réunir les chercheurs
francophones intéressés par les problématiques liées à la visualisation
d'informations, à la fouille visuelle de données et plus généralement
aux approches visuelles et interactives pour la représentation et
l'extraction d'informations et de connaissances. Il s'appuie sur deux
communautés dont les thématiques scientifiques sont devenues très
proches : d'une part les chercheurs en visualisation d'informations
issus du domaine de l'interface Homme-Machine et fédérés dans l'AFIHM,
et d'autre part les chercheurs en fouille visuelle de données issus du
domaine de l'extraction et de la gestion des connaissances et fédérés
dans l'association EGC. On constate en effet aujourd'hui d'une part une
importance croissante des approches visuelles dans les problématiques de
représentations et d'extraction d'informations, et d'autre part une
convergence entre les domaines de la visualisation d'informations
(Information Visualization), de la fouille visuelle de données (Visual
Data Mining), et de la visualisation analytique (Visual Analytics).

Ce groupe de travail, soutenu à la fois par l'AFIHM et EGC, aura à cœur
de faire se rencontrer les chercheurs des communautés "Visualisation
d'informations" et "Fouille visuelle de données", de fédérer des actions
(ateliers, tutoriels, journées d’étude, numéros de revues, etc), de
servir de « tremplin » pour des publications et d'autres activités
internationales (compétitions, etc), et de renforcer la visibilité de
cette communauté scientifique francophone sur l’espace européen.

Thématiques
===========

La liste non exhaustive des thèmes abordés est la suivante (elle sera
complétée par les membres du groupe) :

· Visualisation d'information, fouille visuelle de données,
  visualisation analytique

· Visualisation de données (toutes représentations) : attributs-valeurs,
  prédicats, séquences, données temporelles, données géographiques et
  spatiales, surfaces et volumes 3D, arbres et structures hiérarchiques,
  graphes, images et multimédia, ...


· Visualisation de connaissances (toutes représentations): arbres de
  décision, treillis, graphes, cartes, règles d'association, cartes de
  Kohonen, ...

· Représentations visuelles (toutes méthodes) : 1D, 2D, 2.5D, 3D et 3D
  stéréoscopique, 4D, nD, métaphores visuelles,

· Interactions, classification interactive, fouille et découverte
  interactive supervisée ou non supervisée,

· Combinaison de méthodes visuelles et des méthodes automatiques

· Exploration visuelle des données pour le prétraitement et le
  post-traitement

· Interface avec l'expert du domaine, interfaces tactiles, haptiques,
  immersives avec utilisation de la réalité virtuelle (interactions 3D,
  écrans stéréoscopiques, ...)

· Evaluations utilisateurs et validations

· Architectures logicielles et matérielles pour la visualisation

· Applications et réalisations industrielles : données médicales et
  scientifiques, marketing, réseaux sociaux, ...

Projets 
======

Pour 2012, les activités envisagées concrètement par ce groupe de
travail sont les suivantes :

- octobre 2011 : lancement du groupe lors d'IHM'2011 à Nice
  Sophia-Antipolis

- d'ici fin 2011 : recueil d'une liste de personnes intéressées (voir le
  formulaire suivant :

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFBMamc4RzRFb0hVMmxjSkdEeWpuTXc6MQ)

Abstract: Normalization is involved in many fields of information
processing. It improves the performance of several applications, such as
information retrieval or information extraction, and makes the
construction of language resources more reliable. Normalization consists
in standardizing each variant of a term or named entity into a unique
form, and in this way restricts the impact of language variation. Our
work applies to named entity normalization, and aims at optimizing
fine-grained corpus analyses carried out by the TecKnowMetrix
Company. Our approach mixes several methods, such as pattern matching,
similarity metrics and endogenous techniques. Moreover, we place the
user in the center of our normalization process, in order to obtain
fully reliable data that fit his or her needs.

Résumé : La normalisation intervient dans de nombreux champs du
traitement de l¹information. Elle permet d¹améliorer l¹efficacité
d¹applications telles que la recherche ou l¹extraction d¹information, et
de rendre plus fiable la constitution de ressources langagières. La
normalisation consiste à ramener toutes les variantes d¹un même terme ou
d¹une entité nommée à une forme standard, et permet de limiter les
effets de la variation linguistique.  Notre travail porte sur la
normalisation des entités nommées, et vise à optimiser les analyses de
corpus fines réalisées par la société TecKnowMetrix. Notre approche
combine plusieurs méthodes, telles que l¹utilisation de formes, de
calculs de similarité, ou encore de techniques endogènes. De plus, nous
plaçons l¹utilisateur au centre du processus de normalisation, afin
d¹obtenir des données parfaitement fiables et adaptées à ses besoins.


3-- Bilingual Document Clustering: Evaluating Cognates as Features / Le

Claudia Denicia-Carral, Manuel Montes-y-Gómez, Luis Villaseñor-Pineda et
David Pinto-Avendaño

Abstract: This paper focuses on the task of bilingual clustering, which
involves dividing a set of documents from two different languages into a
set of groups, so that documents with similar topics belong to the same
group, regardless of their source language. It mainly considers a
clustering approach that relies on the use of cognates as document
features.  Particularly, it proposes two straightforward methods that
extract cognates from their own target document collection and do not
require using any external bilingual resource, like parallel corpora or
a bilingual dictionary. Experimental results in two bilingual
collections that include news reports in English and Spanish are
encouraging. They indicate that cognates are relevant features for the
task of bilingual clustering, outperforming by more than 10% the results
achieved by other known approaches.

Résumé : Cet article se consacre à la tâche du groupage bilingue, qui
comprend la répartition d¹une série de documents appartenant à deux
langues différentes en une série de groupes, de telle façon que les
sujets similaires apparaissent dans le même groupe, quelle que soit la
langue d¹origine. Il s¹intéresse surtout à une approche de groupage qui
fait usage des cognats considérés comme des traits distinctifs des
documents. En particulier, il propose deux méthodes directes permettant
l¹extraction des cognats à partir de leur propre collection de documents
cibles, sans recourir à l¹utilisation de ressources bilingues externes,
telles que des corpus parallèles ou un dictionnaire bilingue. Nous avons
obtenu des résultats expérimentaux encourageants avec deux collections
bilingues incluant des bulletins de nouvelles en anglais et en
espagnol. Ces résultats indiquent que les cognats sont des traits
distinctifs valables pour le groupage de documents bilingues, et qu¹ils
permettent d¹obtenir des résultats dépassant de 10 % ceux que l¹on
obtient avec les autres approches connues.


4-- Automatic Modeling of Logical Connectors by Statistical Analysis of
Context / Modélisation automatique de connecteurs logiques par analyse
statistique du contexte
http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/canadian_journal_of_information_and_library_science/summary/v035/35.3.charton.html
Eric Charton et Juan-Manuel Torres-Moreno

Abstract: In this paper we present an algorithm for the enrichment of
the language model by a model of logical connectors. Using seed
connectors based on a corpus, our algorithm is capable of grouping
context-dependant logical connectors of identical meaning into
classes. This categorization of links may then be employed to generate
finite state machines (FSMs) capable of identifying logical articulation
of a phrase. In this capacity, it constitutes a first step towards an
automatic analysis of argumentative texts. We use this device (FSMs),
assisted by a language model, to rewrite automatically sentences in a
text processing system.

Résumé : Dans cet article, nous décrivons un algorithme d¹enrichissement
de modèle de langue par un modèle de connecteurs logiques. Notre
algorithme est capable, en partant de connecteurs amorces et en
s¹appuyant sur un corpus, de regrouper automatiquement des connecteurs
logiques de sens identiques, en fonction du contexte. Ce regroupement
peut être ensuite utilisé pour générer des automates à états finis
capables d¹identifier une articulation logique dans une phrase. À ce
titre, il constitue un premier pas en direction de l¹analyse automatique
de textes argumentatifs. Nous utilisons ce dispositif dans un système de
réécriture automatique de phrases, assisté par modèle de langue.

 
5-- A Sentiment-Based Digital Library of Movie Review Documents Using
Fedora / Une bibliothèque numérique de documents critiques de films
basée sur les sentiments en utilisant Fedora

Jin-Cheon Na, Tun Thura Thet, Arie Hans Nasution et Fauzi Munif Hassan

Abstract: This study develops a digital library of movie review
documents that supports sentiment-based browsing and searching. Firstly,
we develop an automatic method for in-depth sentiment analysis and
classification of movie review documents to provide sentiment
orientations toward multiple perspectives of movies, such as overall
opinion about the movie, director, and cast. By utilizing information
extraction techniques such as entity extraction, co-referencing, and
pronoun resolution, the review texts are segmented into multiple
sections where each section contains multiple sentences and discusses a
particular aspect of the reviewed movie. For each aspect section, a
machine-learning algorithm, Support Vector Machine (SVM), is applied to
determine sentiment orientation toward the target aspect.  Secondly a
prototype digital library is developed with the automatically analysed
data to show the usefulness of sentiment-based browsing and
searching. Using the system, the user can browse and search movies by
sentiment polarity (positive, neutral, or negative) of multiple aspects
in the movie. Finally, a usability evaluation is conducted to observe
the effectiveness of the sentiment-based digital library.

Résumé : Cette étude examine le développement d¹une bibliothèque
numérique de documents critiques de films permettant l¹exploration et la
recherche par sentiments. Pour commencer, nous développons une méthode
automatique pour l¹analyse en profondeur des sentiments et la
classification des documents critiques de films propres à fournir des
orientations à propos des sentiments capables d¹offrir des perspectives
multiples sur les films, comme par exemple l¹opinion générale sur le
film, sur le metteur en scène, et sur les acteurs. Grâce à l¹utilisation
de techniques d¹extraction d¹information telles que l¹extraction
d¹entités, le co-référencement, et la résolution de pronoms, les comptes
rendus sont segmentés en de multiples sections où chacune contient
plusieurs phrases et aborde un aspect particulier du film en question. À
chacune de ces sections on applique un algorithme d¹apprentissage
automatique, Support Vector Machine (SVM), qui détermine l¹orientation
du ou des sentiments pour cette section. Ensuite, nous développons un
prototype de bibliothèque numérique en utilisant les données analysées
automatiquement afin de montrer l¹utilité de l¹exploration et de la
recherche par sentiments. En utilisant ce système, l¹utilisateur peut
explorer et faire des recherches dans les films selon les polarités des
sentiments (positif, neutre, ou négatif) et ce, sur de nombreux aspects
des films. Pour finir, nous avons effectué une évaluation
d¹utilisabilité afin de vérifier l¹efficacité d¹une bibliothèque
numérique basée sur les sentiments.

***************************************************
EACL 2012 Student Research Workshop
***************************************************
Thirteenth Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for
Computational Linguistics - Student Research Workshop
Avignon, France
April 25-27, 2012
http://www.eacl2012.org

***************************************************
LAST CALL FOR PAPERS 
***************************************************
 Submission deadline: November 18, 2011
*************************************************** 

1. General Invitation for Submissions

EACL 2012 will continue the tradition of providing a forum for student
researchers who are investigating various areas related to Computational
Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. Participants will have the
opportunity to get feedback both from a wide audience in general and
from selected panelists -- experienced researchers who prepare in-depth
comments and questions in advance of the presentation.

The European Association of Computational Linguistics would like to
invite student researchers to submit their work to the
workshop. Original and unpublished research is invited on all aspects of
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing, including,
but not limited to:

- pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax and the lexicon
- phonetics, phonology and morphology
- linguistic, mathematical and psychological models of language
- information retrieval, information extraction, question answering
- generation, summarization and paraphrasing
- speech recognition, speech synthesis
- corpus-based language modeling
- multi-lingual processing, machine translation, translation aids
- spoken and written natural language interfaces, dialogue systems
- language resources and tools
- multi-modal language processing, multimedia systems
- message and narrative understanding systems
- other Natural Language Processing applications

The main conference will also feature tutorials and workshops. Further
information on these is available at the main conference website:
http://www.eacl2012.org


2. Submission Requirements

Seeing that the main mission of the student workshop is to provide the
participants with a wide audience and useful feedback, the emphasis of
the workshop will be on work in progress. It will therefore normally be
open to students who have settled on their thesis direction but who
still have significant research left to do; those students in the final
stages of their thesis are encouraged to submit to the main
conference. Papers should clearly indicate directions for future
research where appropriate. The papers can have more than one author,
however all authors must be students.

A paper accepted for presentation at the Student Workshop cannot be
presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly
available proceedings. Double submissions to the EACL main conference
and the Student Research Workshop are not allowed. A student can only
submit one paper to the Student Workshop. Papers that are being
submitted to other conferences must indicate this on the submission
page. Students who have previously presented at an ACL/EACL/NAACL
student session will not be eligible to present again at the student
session of any of these conferences. These students are instead
encouraged to submit to the main conference.


3. Submission Format

All submissions must be submitted electronically as PDF and must follow
the two-column format of EACL proceedings. Authors are strongly
recommended to use the style files available on the conference web
site. Papers may consist of up to nine (9) pages of content and any
number of additional pages containing references only.

As reviewing will be double-blind, the paper should not include the
authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that
reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991)
...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith
previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Authors should not use anonymous
citations and should not include any acknowledgments. Papers that do not
conform to these requirements will be rejected without review.

The deadline for submission is 11:59pm Samoa Time (UTC/GMT -11 hours) on
November 18, 2011.  Papers have to be submitted before the deadline
through the START conference portal for the workshop, which is available
at the following URL: 

	https://www.softconf.com/eacl2012/EACL-SRW-2012/


4. Reviewing Procedure

The reviewing of the papers will be blind. Reviewing will be managed by
the Student Workshop Co-Chairs and a team of reviewers. Each submission
will be matched with a mixed panel of student and senior researchers for
review, and will receive three independent reviews. The final acceptance
decision will be based on the results of the review.

Résumé

Avec l’augmentation des connaissances disponibles sur Internet est
apparue la difficulté d’obtenir une information. Les moteurs de
recherche permettent de retourner des pages Web censés contenir
l’information désirée à partir de mots clés. Toutefois il est encore
nécessaire de trouver la bonne requête et d’examiner les documents
retournés.

Les systèmes de questions réponses ont pour but de renvoyer directement
une réponse concise à partir d’une question posée en langue
naturelle. La réponse est généralement accompagnée d’un passage de texte
censé la justifier. Par exemple, pour la question « Quel est le
réalisateur d’Avatar ? » la réponse « James Cameron »peut être renvoyée
accompagnée de « James Cameron a réalisé Avatar. ».

Cette thèse se focalise sur la validation de réponses qui permet de
déterminer automatiquement si la réponse est valide. Une réponse est
valide si elle est correcte (répond bien à la question) et justifiée par
le passage textuel. Cette validation permet d’améliorer les systèmes de
questions réponses en ne renvoyant à l’utilisateur que les réponses
valides.

Les approches permettant de reconnaître les réponses valides peuvent se
décomposer en deux grandes catégories :

– les approches utilisant un formalisme de représentation particulier de
  la question et du passage dans lequel les structures sont comparées ;

– les approches suivant une approche par apprentissage qui combinent
  différents critères d’ordres lexicaux ou syntaxiques.

Dans le but d’identifier les différents phénomènes sous tendant la
validation de réponses, nous avons participé à la création d’un corpus
annoté manuellement. Ces phénomènes sont de différentes natures telle
que la paraphrase ou la coréférence. On peut aussi remarquer que les
différentes informations sont réparties sur plusieurs phrases, voire
sont manquantes dans les passages contenant la réponse.

Une deuxième étude de corpus de questions a porté sur les différentes
informations à vérifier afin de détecter qu’une réponse est
valide. Cette étude a montré que les trois phénomènes les plus fréquents
sont la vérification du type de la réponse, la date et le lieu contenus
dans la question.  Ces différentes études ont permis de mettre au point
notre système de validation de réponses qui s’appuie sur une combinaison
de critères. Certains critères traitent de la présence dans le passage
des mots de la question ce qui permet de pointer la présence des
informations de la question. Un traitement particulier a été effectué
pour les informations de date en détectant une réponse comme n’étant pas
valide si le passage ne contient pas la date contenue dans la
question. D’autres critères, dont la proximité dans le passage des mots
de la question et de la réponse, portent sur le lien entre les
différents mots de la question dans le passage.

Le second grand type de vérification permet de mesurer la compatibilité
entre la réponse et la question. Un certain nombre de questions
attendent une réponse étant d’un type particulier. La question de
l’exemple précédent attend ainsi un réalisateur en réponse. Si la
réponse n’est pas de ce type alors elle est incorrecte. Comme cette
information peut ne pas se trouver dans le passage justificatif, elle
est recherchée dans des documents autres à l’aide de la structure des
pages Wikipédia, en utilisant des patrons syntaxiques ou grâce à des
fréquences d’apparitions du type et de la réponse dans des documents. La
vérification du type est particulièrement efficace puisqu’elle effectue
80 % de bonnes détections. La vérification de la validité des réponses
est également pertinente puisque lors de la participation à une campagne
d’évaluation, AVE 2008, le système s’est placé parmi les meilleurs
toutes langues confondues.

La dernière contribution a consisté à intégrer le module de validation
dans un système de questions réponses, QAVAL. Dans ce cadre de
nombreuses réponses sont extraites par QAVAL et ordonnées grâce au
module de validation de réponses. Le système n’est plus utilisé afin de
détecter les réponses valides mais pour fournir un score de confiance à
chaque réponse. Le système QAVAL peut ainsi aussi bien être utilisé en
effectuant des recherches dans des articles de journaux que dans des
articles issus du Web. Les résultats sont assez bons puisqu’ils
dépassent ceux obtenus par un simple ordonnancement des réponses de près
de 50 %.

de 12 mois à temps complet à partir de décembre 2011 ou janvier 2012
pour travailler dans l'opération de recherche LC1 "Analyse
plurifactorielle des contacts de langues et du changement linguistique".
Le candidat sera basé à l'UMR SEDYL (CNRS-INALCO-IRD) - Campus CNRS de
Villejuif.

Information à diffuser aux personnes susceptibles d'être intéressées,

__________________________


  Postdoc : Fouille de données textuelles sur corpus hétérogènes et
  plurilingues

Durée :
12 mois, à partir de déc 2011 ou janvier 2012

Salaire:
24 000 EUR net/ an

Spécialités:
Linguistique informatique, fouille de données textuelles

*Date limite de candidature: *
*10 novembre 2011*

      Compétences

Le candidat doit avoir un doctorat en informatique / linguistique
informatique et être expert du domaine de la fouille de données - de
préférence sur un domaine d'application linguistique (fouille de texte,
traitement automatique du langage) impliquant des données textuelles de
large dimension structurées en xml. Une connaissance des standards TEI
serait un plus.  Il doit savoir programmer en C, la pratique de C++ ou
de Java est également un avantage.  Il doit connaître et savoir utiliser
le modèle relationnel de bases de données et le langage SQL (une
connaissance du système MySQL est un avantage).  Avoir une curiosité
pour la diversité des langues est également un plus.

      Description

  Le travail consiste à développer des fonctions de fouille de texte qui
seront appliquées à des corpus de langues en contact, c'est-à-dire à des
transcriptions de productions verbales non-homogènes recueillies en
situations multilingues (où les locuteurs parlent plusieurs langues à la
fois ; le projet implique 38 langues de tous les continents). Ce cas de
figure est traditionnellement peu pris en compte par les algorithmes de
la linguistique informatique, par exemple par les systèmes destinés à
identifier automatiquement le jeu de catégories grammaticales présentes
dans un corpus (inférence grammaticale) ou à attribuer des catégories
aux occurrences des unités lexicales (étiquetage).

Des résultats scientifiques sont attendus à la fois sur le plan des
faits linguistiques qui pourront être mis en évidence (corrélations de
certaines catégories d'unité, ou de certaines positions syntaxiques,
avec les phénomènes de contact et changement linguistique), et sur le
plan des techniques d'apprentissage développées.

La difficulté du sujet réside dans le grand nombre des variables à
analyser, par rapport à la taille du corpus (nombre d'échantillons).
Cette caractéristique rattache ce problème au domaine de recherche de
l'analyse de données de grande dimension pour laquelle une approche de
type "réduction de la dimensionnalité des données" telle que « manifold
learning » est envisagée.

** Deadline extension: October 13th, 2011



EACL 2012, 2nd CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

Proposals are invited for the Tutorial Program of the 13th Conference of
the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
(EACL 2012), to be held in Avignon, France, from April 23 to April 27,
2012. The selected tutorials will be given on the Monday and Tuesday
preceding the main conference (April 23 and 24).

EACL 2012 seeks proposals for tutorials in all areas of computational
linguistics, broadly conceived to include disciplines such as
linguistics (including phycholinguistics and other subfields), speech,
information retrieval and multimodal processing.

We particularly welcome (1) tutorials which cover advances in newly
emerging areas not previously covered in an (E)ACL related tutorial, or
(2) tutorials which provide introductions into related fields which are
potentially relevant for the CL community (e.g. bioinformatics, social
media, human language processing, machine learning techniques). In order
to gather a widespread audience, the interest of the tutorial and the
quality of the instructors will also be taken into account.

REMUNERATION

Remuneration for tutorials is regulated by ACL policies:
http://aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=Policy_on_tutorial_teacher_payment

The conversion to euros will be done as follows: ?550 for up to 20
people, plus ?25 per person for registrants between 21 to 50, plus ?18
per person for registrants greater than 50.

Please NOTE: Remuneration for Tutorial presenters is fixed according to
    the above policy and does not cover registration fees for the main
    conference.

SUBMISSION DETAILS

Proposals for tutorials should contain:

1. A title and brief description of the tutorial content and its
   relevance to the ACL community (not more than 2 pages).

2. A brief outline of the tutorial structure showing that the tutorial's
   core content can be covered in a three-hour slot (excluding a coffee
   break). In exceptional cases six-hour tutorial slots are available as
   well.

3. The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of
   the tutorial instructors, including a one-paragraph statement of
   their research interests and areas of expertise.

4. A list of previous venues and approximate audience sizes, if the same
   or a similar tutorial has been given elsewhere; otherwise an estimate
   of the audience size.

5. A description of special requirements for technical equipment
   (e.g. internet access).  Proposals should be submitted by electronic
   mail, in plain ASCII text, to tutorials at eacl2012 dot org, no later
   than September 30th 2011.

    The subject line should be: "EACL 2012 TUTORIAL PROPOSASeptember
    30th, 2011L".

PLEASE NOTE:

- only proposals submitted by e-mail will be taken into account.

- you will receive email confirmation from us that your prSeptember
  30th, 2011oposal has been received. If you do not receive this
  confirmation 24 hours after sending the proposal, please contact us

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
*********************************************************************
2nd Workshop on Statistical Parsing of
Morphology-Rich Languages (SPMRL 2011)

<https://sites.google.com/site/spmrl2011/>

Collocated with IWPT 2011 (October 5-7, 2011)
http://www.dcu.ie/conferences/iwpt/


Workshop date: October 6, 2011 (afternoon)
Location: Dublin City University, 
Early registration through September 15, 2011


-----------------------------------------------
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested in
parsing languages with richer morphological structures than in English,
and to provide a forum for discussing the challenges associated with
parsing such languages and sharing strategies towards their solutions.
We are interested in presentations relating to actively studied areas of
research including the adaptation of existing parsing techniques to new
languages, the design of new models that take morphological information
into account, the implementation of models that allow robust statistics
to be obtained in the face of high word-form variation, and so on.

You are cordially invited to attend the talks and to participate in the
discussion.

Registration is included in IWPT's registration fee.  The IWPT 2011
registration form has all information about registration deadlines and
fees.  <http://www.dcu.ie/conferences/iwpt/registration.shtml>

du 19 au 21 octobre sont ouvertes !

======================== Appel ? participation ========================

MARAMI 2011 :http://marami-2011.imag.fr/
Seconde conf?rence sur les Mod?les et l?Analyse des R?seaux : Approches 
Math?matiques et Informatique
Du 19 au 21 octobre 2011 ? Grenoble

_Conf?rence MARAMI_

Le Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique de Grenoble (LIG) organise
les deuxi?mes rencontres MARAMI 2011, qui seront structur?es autour de
conf?rences invit?es ainsi que des pr?sentations de chercheurs et
d?industriels du domaine.

Les r?seaux constituent un mod?le d?information et de connaissances de
plus en plus exploit? ces derni?res ann?es pour mod?liser mais aussi
pour simuler des comportements du vivant et celui de syst?mes
informatiques et sociaux. Leur efficacit? dans les divers domaines
d'application, tels que les r?seaux en biologie, les r?seaux sociaux ou
les r?seaux informatiques, est cependant tributaire de mod?les et de
m?thodes formelles d?analyse de leur architecture, de leur
fonctionnement et de leur ?volution.

L?objectif de la conf?rence MARAMI est de fournir un cadre d??changes et
de diffusion des travaux scientifiques entre les communaut?s issues des
math?matiques et de l?informatique, qui pr?sentent une forte synergie,
pour appr?hender des probl?matiques communes ou compl?mentaires. Dans ce
sens, cette conf?rence constitue une occasion privil?gi?e permettant
d??changer les expertises et les exp?riences capitalis?es dans chacune
des communaut?s sur l?analyse, la mod?lisation des r?seaux et leur
d?ploiement dans les nouvelles technologies, notamment de l?informatique
et de la communication.

Les th?matiques privil?gi?es de ces journ?es sont organis?es en trois
grands axes :

Analyse et visualisation de r?seaux r?els
   . recherche de communaut?s, classification,
   . recherche de motifs fr?quents,
   . visualisation et exploration de grands graphes, ...
Mod?lisation dans les r?seaux
   . simulations de ph?nom?nes sur les r?seaux,
   . ?volutions de r?seaux,
   . graphes al?atoires, ...
Applications
   . r?seaux sociaux,
   . r?seaux biologiques,
   . r?seaux pair ? pair,
   . syst?mes de recommandation, filtrage collaboratif,
   . syst?mes d'aide ? la d?cision (marketing viral, ?pid?mies),
   . syst?mes multi-agents,
   . ontologies / web s?mantique, ...

Author: Violeta Seretan Title: Syntax-Based Collocation Extraction 

Simultaneously published in print and as an e-book: ISBN (hardcover):
978-94-007-0133-5 ISBN (e-book): 978-94-007-0134-2

Description:

Syntax-Based Collocation Extraction is the first book to offer a
comprehensive, up-to-date review of the theoretical and applied work on
word collocations. Backed by solid theoretical results, the
computational experiments described based on data in four languages
provide support for the book's basic argument for using syntax-driven
extraction as an alternative to the current cooccurrence-based
extraction techniques to efficiently extract collocational data. The
work described in Syntax-Based Collocation Extraction focuses on using
linguistic tools for corpus-based identification of collocations. It
takes advantage of recent advances in parsing to propose a novel deep
syntactic analytic collocation extraction that has applicability to a
range of important core tasks in Computational Linguistics. The book is
useful for anyone interested in computational analysis of texts,
collocation phenomena, and multi-word expressions in general.

Focus of the special issue
--------------------------------

This special issue aims to bring together researchers from both
communities, Information Retrieval and Data Mining, working around the
problems of Information mining and retrieval on the web. The development
of Web 2.0 has led to the proliferation of tools for internet users to
interact directly on the Web content through, annotations, reviews,
comments, opinions.... The content of Web pages is no longer a static
text or a fixed image, but also a user-generated data (blogs,
twitter?). This fact has led to the emergence of new problems related to
the analysis, mining, searching and visualizing information.

The objective of this special issue is to provide a framework for
researchers from both communities to exchange views and experiences on
Information mining and retrieval issues (web page, annotations, blogs,
queries).

Papers describing theoretical aspects, prototype systems, tools and
techniques and applications, as well as future directions are welcome.


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

- Information mining and retrieval on the web

- Queries Analysis and Mining on the Web

-  Search and Mining in blogs

- Opinion Detection on the Web

- Folksonomy (annotation/social indexing)

- Social information mining and retrieval

- Temporal information retrieval, mining and extraction

 

Submission details
-----------------------

Manuscripts should be written in English and prepared for publication in
accordance with the following instructions: <http://www.journal-i3.org/>
http://www.journal-i3.org/. The length of the paper is limited to 30
pages.  Submissions should be sent in pdf format to
<mailto:Rim.Faiz at ihec.rnu.tn> Rim.Faiz at ihec.rnu.tn (cc:
rimfaiz at yahoo.fr).

 

Papers will be evaluated based on their originality, presentation as
well as relevance and contribution to the field of Information mining
and retrieval on the web. All papers will be rigorously refereed by 3
peer reviewers.  Submission of a manuscript to this special issue
implies that no similar paper is already accepted or will be submitted
to any other conference or journal.

APPEL A COMMUNICATIONS

[English version below]

Dans le cadre du 9?me colloque international TIA qui se tiendra ? Paris
les 8-10 novembre prochain (http://tia2011.crim.fr/), est organis? un
atelier sur le th?me :

*Ontologie et Lexique : nouveaux regards ?*

Organis? par les laboratoires IRIT et CLLE-ERSS en lien avec le groupe
de travail "ontology Lexica" du
W3C. http://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/

*Jeudi 10 novembre 2011, INALCO, 65 rue des Grands Moulins, Paris
 XIIIe.*

*date limite de contribution : 21 octobre 2011 (r?sum?)*


        Ontologies et Lexiques

Depuis pr?s de 10 ans, la diversification de l'utilisation des
ontologies, en particulier au sein d'interactions avec des utilisateurs
ou bien en lien avec des documents textuels, fait ressortir les liens
forts qui existent entre ontologies et langues naturelles. D'une part,
la construction des ontologies utilise souvent des ressources textuelles
dans le cadre de l'apprentissage d'ontologies ? partie de texte
(Ontology Learning from Texts). D'autre part les ontologies servent de
support pour l'annotation de textes en vue de l'interrogation s?mantique
de corpus, de traduction ou d'acc?s multilingue ? des ressources.

En tant que repr?sentation des connaissances, un lexique met l'accent
sur les propri?t?s et relations linguistiques des mots alors que les
ontologies se focalisent sur des concepts et des relations
conceptuelles. L'interface entre ces deux niveaux de description a fait
l'objet de travaux, au travers notamment des notions de Ressource
Termino-Ontologique (RTO) et d'Ontologie Lexicale. Dans les deux cas, on
s'interroge sur la mani?re d'articuler des mod?les de connaissances et
leur expression linguistique, c'est-?-dire ? la fois le lexique associ?
? ces connaissances et son insertion dans les discours qui l'utilisent.


        Lien avec Ontolex, "Ontology Lexica" et TIA

Une s?rie de conf?rences, les ateliers OntoLex, a permis de d?finir les
probl?matiques de recherche relatives ? la d?finition de repr?sentations
pertinentes et riches ? la fois pour favoriser des traitements
linguistiques ?labor?s sur des ?l?ments lexicaux, et pour donner un
acc?s performant aux connaissances qu'il peut ?tre pertinent de leur
associer. Une des questions centrales est celle de la repr?sentation de
ces informations, linguistiques et conceptuelles. Cette question a ?t?
reformul?e en "comment articuler la repr?sentation d'?l?ments langagiers
et d'une ontologie ?". Les r?ponses sont diverses suivant les
applications vis?es, les th?ories s?mantiques retenues ou encore les
hypoth?ses relatives ? la dynamique du sens et des interpr?tations.

Dans la lign?e de ces ateliers, le groupe "Ontology Lexica" a vu le
jour. Il s'agit d'une communaut? d'int?r?t du W3C qui cherche non
seulement ? parvenir ? un standard en mati?re de repr?sentation de la
composante lexicale des ontologies, mais aussi ? recueillir des
exp?riences, ?valuer les atouts de ce type de repr?sentation etc. Les
diff?rentes probl?matique identifi?es sont expos?es ici:
http://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/

Ainsi, les questions relatives aux ontologies et ? leur lexique m?ritent
d'?tre trait?es dans le cadre de la conf?rence TIA, qui a promu
jusqu'ici des travaux novateurs en terminologie, remettant nottamment en
question une approche positiviste qui fige le sens et les
repr?sentations. La conf?rence a particuli?rement ?t? le lieu de d?bats
pour d?finir la notion de ressource termino-ontologique, qui rejoint
celle d'ontologie avec composante lexicale.


        Th?mes de l'atelier

Cet atelier a pour but de r?unir des chercheurs issus du domaine de la
repr?sentation s?mantique des connaissances, du traitement automatique
des langues, de la linguistique ou de la terminologie, qui ont eu ?
aborder la question de l'interaction entre ontologies et lexiques. Les
expos?s pr?sent?s lors de cet atelier pour traiter des questions
suivantes :

- expos? de mod?les et repr?sentations associant ontologies et
  composante lexicale ou terminologique;

- retour d'exp?rience montrant la plus-value de telles repr?sentations,
  et d'applications utilisant ces repr?sentations;

- notion de "contextes riche en connaissance" et leur prise en compte
  dans les mod?les de repr?sentation;

- int?r?t de ces repr?sentations pour faciliter des traitements
  linguistiques, ? g?rer le multi-linguisme ou l'acc?s ? des ?l?ments
  d'ontologie;

- int?r?t de ces repr?sentations pour rendre compte de polys?mies,
  d'?volution du sens dans le temps ou encore de la dynamique des
  connaissances.

Cette liste n'est pas exhaustive et toute proposition de question ou de
probl?matisation sera la bienvenue.

*Modalit?s de soumission *

Envoyer deux ? trois pages de r?sum? (dont une bibliographie) avant le
vendredi 21 octobre ? aussenac at irit.fr
Les r?sum?s doivent respecter le format de pr?sentation de la conf?rence

CALL FOR PAPERS : Ontology and Lexicon: new insigths

As part of the 9th International Conference on Terminology and
Artificial Intelligence (TIA 2011, http://tia2011.crim.fr/) to be held
in Paris on November 8-9-10th, 2011, the IRIT and CLLE-ERSS labs jointly
with the W3C "ontology Lexica" community group (
http://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/ ) organize a workshop dedicated to
*Ontology and Lexicon: new insigths.*

Deadline for submission:  October 21st, 2011.
*Workshop date: Thursday, November 10th, 2011

*Location: INALCO, 65 rue des Grands Moulins, 75013 Paris (France).


        Ontologies and lexicons

During the last ten years, a large range of uses of ontologies, mainly
user-interactive applications, access to document content, text analysis
or information retrieval, have stressed the strength of the connection
between ontologies and natural language. Firstly, textual resources can
be used for learning ontologies from text, or at least to guide an
interactive analysis of textual content to build ontologies. Secondly,
ontology based semantic annotation and search, multilingual access to
information, are some of the key features of the Semantic Web. One of
the cornerstones then is to define the way in which knowledge models can
be connected with their linguistic formulations. In particular, various
studies defined representations of the lexical entries that contain
information about how ontology elements (classes, properties,
individuals etc.) are realized in multiple languages.

Considered as a knowledge representation, a lexicon gathers the
linguistic properties of terms and their syntactic relations, whereas an
ontology focus on a conceputal model. So the interface between these two
layers is regularly discussed, in particular thanks to the notions of
Lexical Ontology and Termino-Ontological Ressources (TOR). In both
cases, the question is how to articulate knowledge models and their
linguistic formulation, which refers to lexical entries and to their
insertion in the discourse where they are used.


        Relations within TIA, OntoLex workshops and the W3C "ontology
        and lexica" community group

In this scope, the OntoLex workshops have been organized. They made it
possible to define research issues about the definition of rich and
relevant models that can be used both to support linguistic processing
based on lexical entities, and to provide an efficient access to

knowledge representations. One of the key questions is about the joint
representation of linguistic and conceptual information. These question
turn out to be "which are the features required to represent lexical and
ontological entities? how can these representation schemes be
connected?" Possible answers are as diverse as the applications that
include these models, the underlying semantic theories or the hypotheses
related to the dynamics of meaning and interpretation.

Following these workhops, the "Ontology Lexica" W3C community group was
born this year. Among its goals are not only the development of models
for the representation of lexica (and machine readable dictionaries)
relative to ontologies, but also the collection of best practices and
experiment feed-back that demonstrate the added-value of such
representations. The mission and research focus of th egroup are listed
here: http://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/

These research issues about ontologies and a lexicon are very relevant
for the TIA conference, that, up to now, has been promoting innovating
works in terminology, questionning the positivist view that freezes the
representation of meaning and its interpretation. The TIA conference
questionned in particular the notion of terminological and ontological
ressource (TOR), which is close to representations like ontologies with
a lexical component.

Ever since it was set up 20 years ago, the TIA research group has
challenged the positivist dogma. By using NLP tools, its members have
contributed to shaking the belief that there is a gap between scientific
and ordinary language. More generally, corpus analysis has weakened some
certainties related to term definition, in particular the term-concept
tie or the association of "concept" and "signifi?".


        Topics

The talks to be given during this workshop can deal any of the following
issues:
- presentation of models and representatiions that combine ontologies
  with lexical or terminological entities;
- use-cases that illustrate the added-value of these representations
  inside software applications;
- notion of "knowledge rich context" and how it can be taken into
  account in knwoledge representation;
- ability of these representations to improve linguistic analyses and
  language processing or access to ontology entities;
- ability to use these representations to account for polysemy, meaning
  change over time, or knowledge evolution.

The above questions do not form a closed list and any other proposal of
questions or issues will be examined.

Bonjour,

Le titrage automatique est une t?che consistant ? attribuer
automatiquement un titre ? un texte. Plusieurs titres peuvent ?tre
pertinents pour un m?me texte (certains titres peuvent contenir des
tournures humoristiques, jeux de mots, emphases, etc.) et d'autres
pas. Dans le cadre de mes travaux de th?se, je m'int?resse ? la
probl?matique du titrage automatique. Il est crucial de comparer un
titre produit automatiquement avec un titre r?el.

C'est pourquoi nous vous sollicitons afin de participer ? l'?valuation
en ligne de nos m?thodes de titrage. L'?valuation peut ?tre r?alis?e en
plusieurs fois.

Pour acc?der ? l'?valuation :
http://www.lirmm.fr/~lopez/Titrage_general/evaluation_web2/

Les r?sultats de cette ?valuation permettront, nous l'esp?rons, de
conclure sur le choix des m?thodes automatiques ? adopter dans le but de
produire un titre pertinent et/ou accrocheur. Les personnes ayant
particip? ? cette ?valuation recevront les r?sultats par mail.

Un titre ?valu?, un grand pas pour ma th?se :)

Merci !

Cordialement,

C?dric

/Universal semantic primes surface in human languages : French and
English perspectives/


par


*Anna Wierzbicka *

Australian National University/, /Canberra


le 7 novembre 2011

44, avenue de la Lib?ration

NANCY

salle Paul Imbs



R?sum? :

The search for conceptual primes in language began in the 17^th century
with Leibniz. He posited the existence of an /alphabetum cogitationum
humanarum/, an alphabet of human thoughts, which he believed could be
discovered by experimental semantic analysis, i.e. by attempting a large
number of definitions of ordinary words in order to discover which
meanings can be defined without circularity and which cannot. It was a
conception closely akin to Descartes's, Pascal's and Arnauld's pursuit
of "clear ideas" and indefinable words.

After Leibniz's death the project fell of the linguistic and
philosophical agenda, until the second half of the 20^th century, when
it was taken up again by the Polish semanticist Andrzej Bogus?awski. It
was subsequently turned into a large-scale research program in the work
of linguists in the Natural Semantic Metalanguage paradigm program,
initiated in my l972 book /Semantic Primitives/ and later developed
jointly with my Australian colleague Cliff Goddard.

Leibniz never proposed anything like a complete list of the elements 
making up the presumed "alphabet of human thoughts". As of 2010, 
however, NSM researchers have advanced a complete and testable set of 
fundamental human concepts that surface in all languages.

Thus, this talk will report on the culmination of a long search: the
discovery of a set of sixty four elementary meanings common to all
languages and presumably innate.Two versions of this set, English and
French will be presented in my talk. The potential of this set as a
precise tool for investigating meanings and as a common measure for
comparing meanings and ideas across languages and cultures will be
illustrated with French and English examples.

In particular, I will focus on the French words /douleur /and /bonheur 
/and their putative English equivalents /pain /and /happiness/. I will 
also talk about the English cultural keyword /empirical /and I will show 
how it differs in meaning from the French word /empirique/. More 
broadly, I will discuss the cultural underpinnings of such differences 
in the meaning of words and the new vistas that the discovery of 
universal conceptual primes opens for lexicography, language teaching 
and the scientific investigations of languages, cognition and culture.

R?sum? automatique de documents

une approche statistique

Collection Recherche d?information et web

dirig?e par Bernadette Bouchon-Meunier

Juan-Manuel Torres-Moreno

Le r?sum? automatique de textes est une discipline du traitement
automatique de langues (TAL) qui a pour objectif de compresser les
documents textuels. Ce processus de compression implique une perte
d?information. D?terminer la pertinence de l?information est ici une des
difficult?s majeures du proc?d?.

Cet ouvrage dresse un panorama historique des diff?rentes approches,
depuis les travaux fondateurs de H.P. Luhn jusqu?aux derni?res
recherches men?es en TAL et dans diverses disciplines connexes.

Plusieurs m?thodes propos?es pour r?soudre les probl?matiques du r?sum?
automatique sont ?tudi?es : les algorithmes de r?sum? mono et
multidocuments, le r?sum? cross- et multilingue, le r?sum? de documents
sp?cialis?s, la compression automatique de phrases et le r?sum? par
analyse rh?torique.

L??valuation des r?sum?s ? probl?me ouvert et difficile ? est aussi
expos?e dans ses approches manuelle et automatique. Plusieurs
applications du r?sum? automatique de documents sont ?galement
pr?sent?es, ainsi que les r?sum?s de documents sp?cialis?s (chimie
organique et biom?decine).

Cet ouvrage s?adresse aux ?tudiants, chercheurs, linguistes,
informaticiens, math?maticiens ou ing?nieurs int?ress?s dans les
techniques et les algorithmes de TAL.

L?auteur

Docteur en informatique (INPG), HDR et ma?tre de conf?rences ? l?UAPV
(Avignon), Juan-Manuel Torres-Moreno est professeur associ? ? l?Ecole
Polytechnique de Montr?al et chercheur ? l?UNAM (Mexico). Il est
sp?cialis? en TAL et r?sum? automatique depuis plus de 10 ans.

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

 LES CLASSIFICATIONS EN LINGUISTIQUE :
Probl?mes, M?thodologies, Enjeux

6, 7 & 8 Juin 2012, Universit? de Strasbourg, Strasbourg


Colloque organis? conjointement par les doctorants de l'?quipe ?
Linguistique, Langues, Parole ? (LiLPa, UR 1339, Universit? de
Strasbourg), les doctorants de l'Institut de Philologie Romane
(Universit? de Bochum, Allemagne) et l?unit? mixte de recherche ATILF
(Universit? Nancy 2).


L'activit? de classification fait partie int?grante de la d?marche
scientifique. En linguistique, au-del? des questions concernant la
typologie des langues, classer pose des probl?mes et implique des enjeux
? tous les niveaux de l'analyse. L'objectif de ce colloque est d'inviter
? une r?flexion autant sur la m?thodologie adopt?e en amont, que sur la
finalit? des classements, en passant par le choix et la pertinence des
crit?res retenus.

Notre souhait est ainsi de r?unir des jeunes chercheurs (doctorants et
jeunes docteurs) en Sciences du Langage, autour de questions
transversales : Pourquoi classer ? Comment classer ? Que classe-t-on ?
Dans quels buts ? Que faire de ce qui n'est pas "classable" ?

 Une grande attention sera accord?e aux communications qui contribueront
? d?velopper une r?flexion ? propos des probl?matiques suivantes :

- L'?tablissement des cat?gories : a priori (les cat?gories ?tant
  pr??tablies) ou a posteriori (les cat?gories d?coulant des faits
  observ?s) ;

- Les relations entre les cat?gories : possibilit?s, modalit?s et
  int?r?ts d'?tablir des continuum ;

- Les crit?res ? prendre en compte pour d?cider de l'appartenance d'un
  ?l?ment ? une cat?gorie ;

- L'articulation entre les crit?res retenus et les objectifs vis?s ;

- R?flexion m?talinguistique : diff?rence entre cat?gorisation,
  classification, typologie ;

- Toute autre proposition en accord avec le th?me du colloque.

Ce colloque sera l'occasion de r?unir des jeunes chercheurs, en leur
offrant la possibilit? de pr?senter leurs travaux respectifs,
d'?changer, de croiser leurs regards et exp?riences. Il s'agit avant
tout d'une rencontre autour d'une probl?matique transversale - celle des
classifications dans les ?tudes du langage.

Organis? sans privil?gier une ?cole ou orientation th?orique
particuli?re, chaque domaine peut y trouver sa place. Les candidats
seront attentifs ? proposer une communication accessible aux
non-sp?cialistes de leur domaine, de mani?re ? ce que l'?change profite
? tous. L'objectif ?tant en effet que la r?flexion men?e dans un domaine
sp?cifique constitue un apport fructueux pour l'ensemble de la
communaut?.

Call for papers

Classifications in Linguistics: Methodology, Problems, Challenges
6, 7 & 8 June 2012, University of Strasbourg, Strasbourg


This conference is organized by Ph.D. students from the research group
Linguistique, Langues, Parole (LiLPa, UR 1339, University of Strasbourg,
France), the Institute of Romance Philology (Ruhr-Universit?t Bochum,
Germany) and from the joint research unit ATILF (Nancy 2).

Classification constitutes an essential part of scientific
proceedings. In linguistics, beyond questions concerning language
typology, classifying raises many different problems and involves
challenges at every level of analysis.

The aim of this conference is to provide a basis for reflection on
methodological issues as well on the implications of such
classifications, including the choices and relevance of the selected
criteria.

Thus, our aim is to gather young researchers in linguistics (students in
Master?s degree programmes, Ph.D. students and Post-Docs) in order to
examine and discuss cross-disciplinary questions: Why do we classify?
How do we classify? What do we classify? What is the purpose of
classification? How do we deal with non-classifiable items?

Special attention will be paid to papers that focus on one of the
following issues:

- The establishment of categories: a priori (pre-established categories)
  or a posteriori (categories that can be derived from observed facts);

- The relations between categories: possibilities, modalities and the
  reasons for establishing a continuum;

- Criteria to be considered in order to determine whether an item can be
  included or not in a certain category;

- The link between retained criteria and objectives;

- Metalinguistic considerations: differences between categorization,
  classification, typology;

- Any other proposal within the field of the conference theme.

This event will be an opportunity for young researchers to share their
preoccupations, hypotheses and experiences. Our primary concern is to
organize a conference focused on one broad cross-disciplinary issue,
that of classification in linguistics.
The organizers do not favor a particular school of thought or specific
linguistic theory. Any related field or sub-field of research may be of
interest. Applicants are kindly asked to submit a paper accessible to
non-specialists in the field to allow open discussion and exchange. The
aim is to foster interaction and debate on a specific linguistic issue
so that contributions may provide the research community with new
insights in this area.

Appel ? communications

[English version below]

Dans le cadre du 9?me colloque international TIA qui se tiendra ? Paris
les 8-10 novembre prochain (http://tia2011.crim.fr/), est organis? un
atelier sur le th?me :

Ressources termino-ontologiques pour l'extraction d'information
subjective : comment l'objectivit? des ontologies s'accommode-elle de la
subjectivit? des sentiments ?

NOUVELLE ECHEANCE : DIMANCHE 23 OCTOBRE 2011

Organis? par l'Equipe de Recherche Textes, Informatique, Multilinguisme
(ERTIM, INALCO)

Jeudi 10 novembre 2011, INALCO, 65 rue des Grands Moulins, Paris XIIIe.

L'extraction d'information subjective (d?tection d'opinion, de la
subjectivit?, analyse des sentiments) apparait aujourd'hui comme une
application majeure de la recherche d'informations sur le Web. On parle
? cet ?gard de ? vocabulaire des sentiments ?, ? lexique des sentiments
? et ? ontologie des sentiments ?. Autrement dit, on pose comme fond?e,
aux plans ?pist?mologique et linguistique, la constitution de classes de
mots sp?cifiques ? l'expression des sentiments susceptible d'?tre
subsum?es en ontologie. Or, du point de vue de la doctrine
terminologique ? n?e, rappelons-le, d'une alliance avec la science telle
qu'on la concevait ? l'or?e du XX?me si?cle et qui revendique les
attributs de rigueur, coh?rence et syst?maticit? ? parler de
terminologie des sentiments constitue bel et bien un oxymore. La
convergence entre langue et science correspondait ? un imp?ratif
imprescriptible, celui de contr?ler la langue scientifique. Le programme
de la terminologie/ontologie concernait ainsi la ma?trise des
vocabulaires scientifiques et techniques en en donnant un acc?s
onomasiologique (du concept au mot). L'objectif de rendre plus
op?ratoire et rationnel le mod?le de production lexicale s'accompagnait
d'un appauvrissement relatif de l'expression syntaxique souvent
transform?e en expression nominale. La volont? de d?passer le langage
ordinaire, jug? ?quivoque, flottant et incertain, exigeait une ?
d?cantation ? de la phrase en expulsant, par exemple, les adjectifs, par
essence subjectifs et ?motionnels. L'aboutissement du texte
programmatique de la Th?orie g?n?rale de la terminologie de Vienne
(VGTT), publi? au d?but des ann?es trente, d?coule bien du postulat que
la connaissance scientifique proc?de du raisonnement logique et que son
unit? minimale, le terme, est ? pur ? de toute connotation, univoque,
pr?cis, monor?f?rentiel et ontologisable. Donc aux antipodes de la
langue commune qui d?crit le plus bas niveau d'abstraction de la
connaissance et qui est juste capable de produire des significations
?motives et non-cognitives. L'analyse d'opinion, telle qu'elle est
envisag?e aujourd'hui, se trouvait d'embl?e disqualifi?e.

D?s sa constitution, il y a vingt ans, le groupe TIA a contest? le dogme
positiviste. En s'emparant des outils d?velopp?s par le TAL, ses membres
ont contribu? ? ?branler la croyance en une dualit? entre langue
scientifique et langue commune. D'une mani?re g?n?rale, l'analyse en
corpus a mis ? mal les certitudes concernant la d?finition du terme, en
particulier la relation terme-concept ou l'assimilation du ? concept ?
et du ? signifi? ?.


Le travail de d?sacralisation accompli par les chercheurs qui se sont
associ?s au fil des ans ? la plate-forme de TIA a naturellement concern?
le courant ontologiste dont les exc?s sont incarn?s par le
r?ductionnisme de WordNet et, plus r?cemment, les ambitions de
SentiWordNet.


En tenant compte du cadre historique ainsi esquiss?, des orientations
?pist?mologiques et des r?alisations pratiques qui ont structur? les
activit?s de TIA depuis ses origines, nous proposons un atelier autour
des th?mes suivants :

- Quel est le statut des ressources termino-ontologiques (RTO) des
  sentiments : quelle est la nature des ? sentiments-concepts ? (quelles
  cat?gories grammaticales) ? quelles sont les relations qui relient les
  sentiment-concepts de l'ontologie ? quelles sont les relations
  (hyperonymie, m?ronymie, etc.) possibles dans une ontologie des
  sentiments ? quel serait le sentiment racine (unique beginner) ?
  partir duquel on construit la hi?rarchie ?

- Les RTO sont-elles stables malgr? les variations en genre (critique,
  post de forum, billet et commentaires de blog, etc.) ?

- R?le ou place des RTO dans les applications de d?tection des
  sentiments : sont-elles centrales ? comment s'articulent-elles avec
  les autres niveaux linguistiques (morphologie, syntaxe) ?

- Dans WordNet les synsets servent d'interlingua. Quel langage de
  repr?sentation translingue est propos? pour les ontologies des
  sentiments (par exemple SentiWordNet) ?

Cette liste n'est pas exhaustive et toute proposition de question ou de
probl?matisation sera la bienvenue.

Modalit?s de soumission : une ? deux pages de r?sum? (+ une
bibliographie) ? envoyer avant le dimanche 23 octobre ? ertim at inalco.fr

Call for papers

As part of the 9th International Conference on Terminology and
Artificial Intelligence (TIA 2011), ERTIM (INALCO) organizes a workshop:

Terminological and ontological resources for extracting subjective
information: how does ontology objectivity deal with sentiment
subjectivity?

NEW DEADLINE : OCTOBER 23th

Thursday, November 10th, 2011
INALCO, 65 rue des Grands Moulins, 75013 Paris (France).

Subjective information extraction (opinion mining, sentiment analysis,
subjectivity analysis) today is a key application of web-based
information retrieval. This has given rise to such phrases as "sentiment
word-list", "sentiment lexicon" or "sentiment ontology". In other words,
epistemologically and linguistically speaking, one takes it for granted
that there are specific word classes for conveying sentiments that are
liable to be subsumed in an ontology.  Yet, from the point of view of
terminological doctrine, which was born from an alliance with
science---the way it was received at the start of the 20th century---and
lays claim to such features as rigour, consistency and systematicity,
talking about sentiment terminology is a blatant oxymoron.  The
convergence between science and language was the result of a vital
need---that of controlling scientific language.  The gist of
terminologies/ontologies was related to commanding scientific and
technical vocabularies by accessing them in an onomasiological way---
from concept to word.  The goal of making word formation more rational
and operative went along with a relative depletion of syntactic
expression, which was often turned into noun groups. The will to go
beyond ordinary language, felt to be equivocal, unstabilised and fuzzy,
demanded that the sentence be stripped of such items as adjectives,
which are by nature subjective and emotional.  The publication of the
Vienna General Theory of Terminology in the early 1930s, setting out the
programme of terminology, stems from the premise that scientific
knowledge is based on logical reasoning and that its minimal unit---the
"term"---is devoid of any overtone, has a single meaning, is accurate,
refers to a single entity and can be included in an ontology.  This is
poles apart from ordinary language, which conveys the lowest level of
abstract knowledge and is only capable of producing emotional and
non-cognitive meanings. Opinion analysis, as it is done today, would
simply not fit the bill.

Ever since it was set up 20 years ago, the TIA research group has
challenged the positivist dogma. By using NLP tools, its members have
contributed to shaking the belief that there is a gap between scientific
and ordinary language. More generally, corpus analysis has weakened some
certainties related to term definition, in particular the term-concept
tie or the association of "concept" and "signifi?".

The criticism of terminology that TIA-related researchers have embarked
on was bound to take on the ontology movement whose excess is embodied
in the limits of WordNet and, more recently, the ambitions of
SentiWordNet.

Factoring in the historical framework briefly sketched out above as well
as the epistemological directions and the practical achievements that
have been part of TIA's activity from the start, we offer a workshop
that will focus on such issues as:

* What is the standing of ontological-terminological sentiment
  resources? What is the nature of "concept-sentiments" (and their parts
  of speech)? What are the ties that connect the ontology's
  "concept-sentiments"? What are the relations (hypernym, meronym, etc)
  that can be built into a sentiment ontology? What would the root
  element be, which would subsume all others?

* Are ontological-terminological sentiment resources stable despite
  genre variation (review, forum post, blog post, blog comment ...)?

* What is the part played by ontological-terminological sentiment
  resources in sentiment-detection applications? Do they play a key
  part? How do they combine with other linguistic levels (morphology,
  syntax)?

* In WordNet, synsets are the interlingua. What is the cross-language
  representation model offered in sentiment ontologies---such as
  SentiWordNet?

The above questions do not form a closed list and any other proposal of
questions or issues will be examined.

Submission: a 1- or 2-page summary (+ bibliography) to be sent by
October 23th to ertim at inalco.fr

atelier sur le th?me :

        Ontologies et Lexiques

Depuis pr?s de 10 ans, la diversification de l'utilisation des
ontologies, en particulier au sein d'interactions avec des utilisateurs
ou bien en lien avec des documents textuels, fait ressortir les liens
forts qui existent entre ontologies et langues naturelles. D?une part,
la construction des ontologies utilise souvent des ressources textuelles
dans le cadre de l?apprentissage d?ontologies ? partie de texte
(Ontology Learning from Texts). D?autre part les ontologies servent de
support pour l?annotation de textes en vue de l?interrogation s?mantique
de corpus, de traduction ou d'acc?s multilingue ? des ressources.

En tant que repr?sentation des connaissances, un lexique met l'accent
sur les propri?t?s et relations linguistiques des mots alors que les
ontologies se focalisent sur des concepts et des relations
conceptuelles. L?interface entre ces deux niveaux de description a fait
l?objet de travaux, au travers notamment des notions de Ressource
Termino-Ontologique (RTO) et d'Ontologie Lexicale. Dans les deux cas, on
s'interroge sur la mani?re d'articuler des mod?les de connaissances et
leur expression linguistique, c'est-?-dire ? la fois le lexique associ?
? ces connaissances et son insertion dans les discours qui l'utilisent.


        Lien avec Ontolex, "Ontology Lexica" et TIA

Une s?rie de conf?rences, les ateliers OntoLex, a permis de d?finir les
probl?matiques de recherche relatives ? la d?finition de repr?sentations
pertinentes et riches ? la fois pour favoriser des traitements
linguistiques ?labor?s sur des ?l?ments lexicaux, et pour donner un
acc?s performant aux connaissances qu'il peut ?tre pertinent de leur
associer. Une des questions centrales est celle de la repr?sentation de
ces informations, linguistiques et conceptuelles. Cette question a ?t?
reformul?e en "comment articuler la repr?sentation d'?l?ments langagiers
et d'une ontologie ?". Les r?ponses sont diverses suivant les
applications vis?es, les th?ories s?mantiques retenues ou encore les
hypoth?ses relatives ? la dynamique du sens et des interpr?tations.

Dans la lign?e de ces ateliers, le groupe "Ontology Lexica" a vu le
jour. Il s'agit d'une communaut? d'int?r?t du W3C qui cherche non
seulement ? parvenir ? un standard en mati?re de repr?sentation de la
composante lexicale des ontologies, mais aussi ? recueillir des
exp?riences, ?valuer les atouts de ce type de repr?sentation etc. Les
diff?rentes probl?matique identifi?es sont expos?es ici:
http://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/

Ainsi, les questions relatives aux ontologies et ? leur lexique m?ritent
d'?tre trait?es dans le cadre de la conf?rence TIA, qui a promu
jusqu'ici des travaux novateurs en terminologie, remettant nottamment en
question une approche positiviste qui fige le sens et les
repr?sentations. La conf?rence a particuli?rement ?t? le lieu de d?bats
pour d?finir la notion de ressource termino-ontologique, qui rejoint
celle d'ontologie avec composante lexicale.


        Th?mes de l'atelier

Cet atelier a pour but de r?unir des chercheurs issus du domaine de la 
repr?sentation s?mantique des connaissances, du traitement automatique 
des langues, de la linguistique ou de la terminologie, qui ont eu ? 
aborder la question de l?interaction entre ontologies et lexiques. Les 
expos?s pr?sent?s lors de cet atelier pour traiter des questions
suivantes :

- expos? de mod?les et repr?sentations associant ontologies et
  composante lexicale ou terminologique;

- retour d'exp?rience montrant la plus-value de telles repr?sentations,
  et d'applications utilisant ces repr?sentations;

- notion de "contextes riche en connaissance" et leur prise en compte
  dans les mod?les de repr?sentation;

- int?r?t de ces repr?sentations pour faciliter des traitements
  linguistiques, ? g?rer le multi-linguisme ou l'acc?s ? des ?l?ments
  d'ontologie;

- int?r?t deces repr?sentations pour rendre compte de polys?mies,
  d'?volution du sens dans le temps ou encore de la dynamique des
  connaissances.

Cette liste n?est pas exhaustive et toute proposition de question ou de
probl?matisation sera la bienvenue.

CALL FOR PAPERS : Ontology and Lexicon: new insigths

As part of the 9th International Conference on Terminology and
Artificial Intelligence (TIA 2011, http://tia2011.crim.fr/) to be held
in Paris on November 8-9-10th, 2011, the IRIT and CLLE-ERSS labs jointly
with the W3C "ontology Lexica" community group (
http://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/ ) organize a workshop dedicated to
*Ontology and Lexicon: new insigths.*

Deadline for submission:  October 21st, 2011.
*Workshop date: Thursday, November 10th, 2011

*Location: INALCO, 65 rue des Grands Moulins, 75013 Paris (France).


        Ontologies and lexicons

During the last ten years, a large range of uses of ontologies, mainly
user-interactive applications, access to document content, text analysis
or information retrieval, have stressed the strength of the connection
between ontologies and natural language. Firstly, textual resources can
be used for learning ontologies from text, or at least to guide an
interactive analysis of textual content to build ontologies. Secondly,
ontology based semantic annotation and search, multilingual access to
information, are some of the key features of the Semantic Web. One of
the cornerstones then is to define the way in which knowledge models can
be connected with their linguistic formulations. In particular, various
studies defined representations of the lexical entries that contain
information about how ontology elements (classes, properties,
individuals etc.) are realized in multiple languages.

Considered as a knowledge representation, a lexicon gathers the
linguistic properties of terms and their syntactic relations, whereas an
ontology focus on a conceputal model. So the interface between these two
layers is regularly discussed, in particular thanks to the notions of
Lexical Ontology and Termino-Ontological Ressources (TOR). In both
cases, the question is how to articulate knowledge models and their
linguistic formulation, which refers to lexical entries and to their
insertion in the discourse where they are used.


        Relations within TIA, OntoLex workshops and the W3C "ontology
        and lexica" community group

In this scope, the OntoLex workshops have been organized. They made it
possible to define research issues about the definition of rich and
relevant models that can be used both to support linguistic processing
based on lexical entities, and to provide an efficient access to
knowledge representations. One of the key questions is about the joint
representation of linguistic and conceptual information. These question
turn out to be "which are the features required to represent lexical and
ontological entities? how can these representation schemes be
connected?" Possible answers are as diverse as the applications that
include these models, the underlying semantic theories or the hypotheses
related to the dynamics of meaning and interpretation.

Following these workhops, the "Ontology Lexica" W3C community group was
born this year. Among its goals are not only the development of models
for the representation of lexica (and machine readable dictionaries)
relative to ontologies, but also the collection of best practices and
experiment feed-back that demonstrate the added-value of such
representations. The mission and research focus of th egroup are listed
here: http://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/

These research issues about ontologies and a lexicon are very relevant
for the TIA conference, that, up to now, has been promoting innovating
works in terminology, questionning the positivist view that freezes the
representation of meaning and its interpretation. The TIA conference
questionned in particular the notion of terminological and ontological
ressource (TOR), which is close to representations like ontologies with
a lexical component.

Ever since it was set up 20 years ago, the TIA research group has
challenged the positivist dogma. By using NLP tools, its members have
contributed to shaking the belief that there is a gap between scientific
and ordinary language. More generally, corpus analysis has weakened some
certainties related to term definition, in particular the term-concept
tie or the association of "concept" and "signifi?".


        Topics

The talks to be given during this workshop can deal any of the following
issues:

- presentation of models and representatiions that combine ontologies
  with lexical or terminological entities;

- use-cases that illustrate the added-value of these representations
  inside software applications;

- notion of "knowledge rich context" and how it can be taken into
  account in knwoledge representation;

- abality of these rrepresentations to improve linguistic analyses and
  language processing or access to ontology entities;

- abality tu use these representations to account for polysemy, meaning
  change over time, or knowledge evolution.


The above questions do not form a closed list and any other proposal of
questions or issues will be examined.

First Call for Papers -- CIAA 2012 

17th International Conference on Implementation and Application of
Automata

Porto, Portugal 

July 17-20, 2012 

http://www.dcc.fc.up.pt/CIAA12 
------------------- 

AIM AND SCOPE 

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

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

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

LAST CALL - deadline Oct 28 !!!!

                                    
                      CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
                 EACL 2012 / NAACL-HLT 2012 / ACL 2012
          (http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/~kjokinen/WorkshopCFP/)

The European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
(EACL), The North American Chapter of the Association for Computational
Linguistics (NAACL), and The Association for Computational Linguistics
(ACL) invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the
EACL, NAACL, or ACL conferences in the spring and summer of 2012. We
solicit proposals on any topic of interest to the ACL communities.
Workshops will be held at one of the following conference venues:

   * EACL 2012 is the 13th Conference of the European Chapter of the
     Association for Computational Linguistics. It will be held in
     Avignon, April 23 - 27, 2012. The dates for the EACL workshops will
     be April 23-24. The webpage for EACL 2012 is: http://eacl2012.org/.

   * NAACL-HLT 2012 is the 13th Annual Meeting of the North American
     Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics. It will
     be held Montreal, Canada, June 3 - 8, 2012. The dates for the
     NAACL-HLT workshops will be June 7 - 8. The webpage for NAACL-HLT
     2012 is: http://www.naaclhlt2012.org/.

   * ACL 2012 is the 50th Annual Meeting of the Association for
     Computational Linguistics (ACL). It will be held in Jeju, Republic
     of Korea, July 8 - 14, 2012. The ACL workshops will be held July 12
     - 13. The webpage for ACL 2012 is: http://www.acl2012.org/.

Proposals will be jointly reviewed by the workshop organizers for all
three conferences.

        SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Similarly to previous conferences, the submission and reviewing of
workshop proposals for EACL, NAACL-HLT, and ACL will be coordinated.

Proposals for workshops should contain:

    1. A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic
       and content.

    2. The desired workshop length (one or two days), and an estimate of
       the number of attendees.

    3. The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses
       of the organizers, with one-paragraph statements of their
       research interests and areas of expertise.

    4. A list of potential members of the program committee, with an
       indication of which members have already agreed.

    5. A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop.

    6. A description of special requirements for technical needs.

    7. A note specifying which venue(s) (EACL versus NAACL-HLT versus
       ACL) would be acceptable to you; if all are acceptable, you may
       express preference for one or the other.

There will be a single workshop committee, coordinated by the three
sets of workshop chairs. This single committee will review the quality
of the workshop proposals. Once the reviews are complete, the workshop
chairs will work together to assign workshops to each of the three
conferences, taking into account the location preferences given by the
proposers.

The ACL has a set of policies on workshops. You can find the ACL's
general policies on workshops at
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshop-support-general-policy.html,
the financial policy for workshops at
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshop-conf-financial-policy.html,
and the financial policy for SIG workshops at
http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshops-Sig-financial-policy.html.

    * Please submit proposals in plain text in the body of an email to the
      workshop organizers:
      eacl.naacl.acl.workshops.2012_AT_helsinki_DOT_fi
      no later than *October 28, 2011, 23:59:59 UTC/GMT*
      (which is 18:59:59 EST, 15:59:59 PST, and 08:59:59 JST on Oct 29).

    * Notification of acceptance of workshop proposals will occur no
      later than *November 11, 2011*.

Since the three conferences will occur at different times, the
timescales for the submission and reviewing of workshop papers, and
the preparation of camera-ready copies, will be different for each
conference. Suggested timescales for each of the conferences are given
below. Workshop organizers should not deviate from this schedule
unless absolutely necessary.

Workshop organisers are also requested to pay attention to the fact that
there will be only a week between the notification of the workshop
acceptance and sending out the first CFPs for the workshop (in case of EACL
and ACL). Thus it is important that the workshop proposals are already well
structured and organised at the time of the submission, to allow quick launch
of the first CFP.

-----  FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS: *SEM-2012  -----

We are pleased to announce that the ACL special interest groups SIGLEX
and SIGSEM are organizing a joint conference on lexical and
computational semantics: *SEM.  This event will provide two days of
intensive semantics-related talks, posters and task reports and serve as
a meeting-point for the lexical/computational semantics community,
bringing together researchers interested in any aspects of semantic
processing of human language. *SEM embraces both symbolic and
probabilistic approaches, and everything in between; theoretical
contributions are welcome too. The long-term goal of *SEM is to provide
a stable forum for the growing number of NLP researchers working on
semantics.


-----  TOPICS OF INTEREST  -----

- Word sense disambiguation
- Multiword and idiomtic expressions
- Semantic role labelling

- Discourse structure
- Rhetorical relations
- Pronouns and co-reference

- Distributional semantics
- Data-driven semantics
- Statistical Semantics

- Semantic analysis
- Formal approaches to semantics
- Semantic annotation and evaluation

- Knowledge mining
- Semantic Web
- Inference and ontologies

- Textual inference and question answering
- Generation and summarisation
- Ontology learning and population


-----  SUBMISSIONS  -----

*SEM submissions must describe unpublished work and be written in
English.  Each submission will be reviewed by at least three program
committee members. Final versions should take into account reviewers'
comments.  We sollicite both long and short papers.  Long papers may
consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus two extra pages for
references, short papers of up to four (4) plus one extra page for
references. Long papers typically describe original research and will be
presented orally, Short papers (typically: ongoing research, project or
system description, opinion piece), will be presented as a poster.


-----  IMPORTANT DATES  -----

  2 March 2012	Paper due date
30 March 2012	Notification of acceptance
13 April 2012	Camera-ready deadline
7-8 June 2012	Conference

ANNONCE D?UNE JOURNEE D?ETUDE

Qu?est-ce qu?apprendre une langue ?

Journ?e scientifique organis?e le mercredi 14 d?cembre 2011 par Gilles
Lou?s (EA 1586 Centre des Sciences de la Litt?rature fran?aise, F.ET.E :
Fran?ais pour ETudiants Etrangers, Paris Ouest Nanterre La D?fense) avec
le concours de l?Union des Professeurs de Langues des Grandes Ecoles, du
Centre des Sciences de la Litt?rature fran?aise (Paris Ouest) et des
?coles doctorale Lettres Langues Spectacles et Connaissance, Langage,
Mod?lisation (Paris Ouest).

Lieu : b?timent G, salle G 614

Comit? scientifique 

 Alain Cazade (EA 4405 CICLaS, Paris Dauphine)

 J?rg Eschenauer (Union des Professeurs de Langues des Grandes
 Ecoles / Ecole des Ponts, ParisTech)

 Dani?le Flament (UMR 7114 MoDyCo / Universit? Paris Ouest Nanterre
 la D?fense)

 Jacques Pr?vot (EA 1586 Centre des Sciences de la Litt?rature
 fran?aise / Universit? Paris Ouest Nanterre La D?fense)

 Jean-Louis Chiss (EA 2288 ERADLEC, Universit? Paris 3)

Cette journ?e vise ? explorer et d?finir l?exp?rience du sujet qui
s?exprime et communique dans une langue autre que la sienne et,
corr?lativement, ? s?interroger sur la mani?re dont ce savoir-faire
s?acquiert ? travers une gamme de pratiques p?dagogiques diverses
emprunt?es ? des domaines d?application multiples.

Le point de vue adopt? ici est de consid?rer que parler dans une autre
langue, c'est passer d?un ? corps parlant ? ? un autre, pour autrui
comme pour soi-m?me, se faire devenir momentan?ment un autre individu,
avec les effets cognitifs, s?mantiques, ?motionnels, relationnels et
culturels que cela suppose.

L?hypoth?se d?fendue est que l?observation de cette d?marche d?passe la
simple prise en compte du "para-verbal" (gestes, mimiques,
postures). Par exemple, articuler des sons, tons ou m?lodies en japonais
et en espagnol oblige le parleur ? placer diff?remment les divers
muscles mobilis?s par l'expression de ce qu'il dit, ce qui lui donne
litt?ralement un visage et une voix distincts selon la langue qu'il
parle, produisant de lui-m?me, consciemment ou non, une r?alisation
subjective et relationnelle distincte de sa mani?re d??tre dans sa
langue maternelle. Cet aspect fondamental de l?action langagi?re humaine
est relativement peu d?crit, et sa mise en ?uvre n?est gu?re
syst?matis?e ni explicit?e en didactique des langues.

Dans ce contexte, l?objectif de cette journ?e est de donner forme et
substance ? ce point de vue et d?en explorer les cons?quences
p?dagogiques susceptibles de devenir le lieu d'une rupture
?pist?mologique :

a) du point de vue th?orique : du fait que les recherches en mati?re de
langue (ou de discours) se focalisent en g?n?ral pr?cis?ment sur les
unit?s dites "linguistiques" sans se pr?occuper de l'amont (la r?alit?
des conditions) dont elles sont l'aval (le r?sultat et la formalisation
souvent d?sincarn?e) ;

b) du point de vue pratique : du fait que, de mani?re g?n?rale, les
didactiques sont tributaires des domaines habituellement convoqu?s dans
l?apprentissage des langues, tels la grammaire, le lexique, la
phon?tique, la s?mantique, la pragmatique, la culture (repr?sentations,
st?r?otypes?), et n?ont pas les moyens de se r?f?rer ? une compr?hension
autre (et plus globale) de ce qu?est l?exp?rience de la parole.

Ce colloque se propose de mettre en lumi?re les th?ories actuelles qui
font toute sa place au v?cu corporel de l?apprenant dans la
compr?hension ou la production linguistique (en tenant compte des
rapports aux courants pertinents en linguistique, psychologie,
ph?nom?nologie), et de les relier aux pratiques p?dagogiques faisant
appel au ? corps parlant ? (th??tre, gestuelle, danse, musique, chant,
orthophonie?) qui en illustrent sur le terrain la pertinence didactique.

Pr?sentation de la conf?rence :

L'Ing?nierie des connaissances est une discipline int?gr?e ?
l'Intelligence Artificielle, fond?e sur les connaissances, leur
acquisition, leurs mod?les, leurs traitements dans des environnements
informatiques. Elle s'appuie sur d'autres disciplines comme la
philosophie, la linguistique, les math?matiques, les sciences
cognitives, l'ergonomie pour mettre ? la disposition d'activit?s
humaines des m?thodes et outils "intelligents" ou tout du moins capables
d'aider l'humain dans ses activit?s.

La conf?rence IC r?unit la communaut? francophone et est un lieu
d'?changes et de r?flexions sur cette discipline qui doit prendre en
compte l'essor des Sciences et Technologies de l'Information et de la
Communication, notamment des technologies li?es au Web et leurs
retomb?es sur les pratiques individuelles et collectives.

La conf?rence d'ing?nierie des connaissances est le lieu o? la
communaut? francophone expose et confronte ses th?ories, ses pratiques,
ses m?thodes et outils. Un des enjeux r?cents est la mise en place de
standards d'?valuation de ses m?thodes et outils.

Th?mes de la conf?rence :

Les propositions portant sur le th?me ? Mod?les, outils d'?valuation en
Ing?nierie des connaissance ? seront particuli?rement bienvenues mais
les communications peuvent porter plus largement sur l'un des th?mes
suivants d?s lors qu'elles sont originales et qu'elles ont une port?e
th?orique, m?thodologique ou pratique (liste non exhaustive) :

* Mod?les, outils d'?valuation en Ing?nierie des connaissance
* Mod?les de connaissances : conception, r?utilisation, ?volution,
  ?valuation, exploitation
* Ontologies : construction, types d'ontologies, int?gration et
  alignement, r?le des ontologies de r?f?rence
* Gestion de la dynamique des ontologies (construction, association
  entre ontologies, gestion du temps et de l'espace, ...)
* Traitements et raisonnements sur les connaissances
* Acquisition de connaissances ? partir de textes, ? partir d'images, ?
  partir de donn?es non structur?es
* D?couverte interactive de connaissances dans les donn?es, dans les
  historiques, dans les interactions, sur le web...
* Web s?mantique, web social
* Connaissance et r?seaux sociaux sur le web
* Inf?rence et r?gles m?tier : acquisition conception, r?utilisation,
  ?volution, ?valuation, exploitations
* Conception d'interactions et interfaces avec des syst?mes ? base de
  connaissances
* Visualisation de connaissances
* Applications en sant?, industrielles, ?ducation, juridiques, etc.
* Activit?s coop?ratives, pratiques collectives et distribu?es
* Ing?nierie et Gestion des connaissances pour l'entreprise
* D?veloppements th?oriques et interdisciplinaires de l'ing?nierie des
  connaissances

Soumissions :

Les auteurs sont invit?s ? pr?senter des articles longs, des articles
courts, des posters et des d?monstrations. Pour chaque type de
soumission (article long, article court) un prix du meilleur papier sera
d?cern? par le comit? de programme. Le prix du meilleur poster sera
attribu? par les participants ? la conf?rence ? l'issue de la s?ance de
posters.

Articles longs :

(16 p, pr?sentation orale 20 mm, 10 mn discussion)
Sont concern?s des travaux aboutis, pr?sentant des r?sultats valid?s ou
des synth?ses fouill?es. Une attention particuli?re sera port?e sur
l'?valuation des r?sultats pr?sent?s.

Articles courts :

(8p, pr?sentation orale de 10 mn, 5 mn discussion)
Sont concern?s des travaux en cours ou au stade de r?sultats partiels de
recherches ou appliqu?s. Ce type de soumission correspond ? des travaux
innovants de qualit?, mais dont la maturit? ne permet pas des
?laborations compl?tes et des conclusions d?finitives.

Posters :

(3p, pr?sentation dans un espace de discussion)
Sont concern?s des travaux qui d?marrent, les premiers r?sultats de
jeunes chercheurs. Les posters sont destin?s ? provoquer la discussion
au sein de la communaut? pour accompagner au mieux le d?marrage des
travaux pr?sent?s.

Les auteurs sont invit?s ? indiquer le th?me le plus appropri? pour leur
soumission.

La conf?rence d'Ing?nierie des connaissances est sous l'?gide du GRACQ
(groupe d'acquisition et d'ing?nierie des connaissances ) dont le site

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

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

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

Le prochain s?minaire se tiendra vendredi 28 octobre de 11.00 ? 13.00 en
salle 3E91 ? l'UFRL, 175, rue du Chevaleret, 75013 Paris (3e ?tage)

Toute personne int?ress?e est la bienvenue.

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


Rodolfo Delmonte (Universit? Ca' Foscari di Venezia)

nous parlera de :

Implicit linguistic entities and the problem of coreference resolution

R?sum?:

In my talk I will present current research work in our laboratory which
extends from deep linguistic processing, its application to Q/A,
treebanking and parsing of oral corpora.
At first I will introduce the problem of the recovery of implicit
linguistic entities in the context of coreference resolution in open
domain texts, which can be regarded as the most important task to cope
with in either IR/IE or Q/A. I will present attempts at solving it and
experiments reported in the literature of NLP and in particular
computational linguistics. As most researchers in the field, I also
assume that in order to improve performance of any system, knowledge of
the world, commonsense knowledge and precise linguistic information are
all important prerequisites. I will concentrate then on some specific
cases, using freely available corpora which I will use to test our
system: in particular I will show text entailment and coreference
resolution examples. As will appear, semantic representation should be
made available to the modules taking care of coreference resolution. In
turn, semantic representation requires to be properly treated for
pronominal anaphora in order to be complete.
I will then introduce the parallel topic of implicit arguments as they
are treated within FrameNet framework and show a solution to that.
I will make a short presentation of the Q/A system and show the
effectiveness of a hybrid architecture.

http://eacl2012.org
========================================================================
Last Call For Papers
========================================================================

>>>  Submission deadline: November 4, 2011<<<

EACL 2012 is the 13th Conference of the European Chapter of the
Association for Computational Linguistics. The conference invites the
submission of papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research
on all areas of computational linguistics, broadly conceived to include
disciplines such as psycholinguistics, speech, information retrieval,
multimodal language processing. The conference welcomes theoretical,
empirical, and application-orientated papers as well as papers targeting
emerging domains such as bioinformatics and social media.

The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:

  - phonetics, phonology, and morphology
  - word segmentation, tagging and chunking
  - syntax, parsing, grammar formalisms, and grammar induction
  - semantics
  - pragmatics, discourse, and dialogue
  - generation and summarization
  - information retrieval and  question answering
  - information extraction
  - sentiment analysis and opinion mining
  - machine translation and multilingual systems
  - spoken language processing and language modeling
  - dialogue systems and multimodal systems
  - language resources and tools
  - psychological and mathematical models of language and language
    acquisition
  - machine learning and algorithms for natural language
  - natural language processing applications
  - domain and genre adaptation of data-driven NLP systems
  - evaluation methodology


Important Dates
---------------
Paper submission deadline: November 4, 2011
Author response period: December 27-30, 2011
Notification of acceptance: January 13, 2012
Camera-ready papers due: March 9, 2012
Papers available on-line: April 19, 2012
EACL 2012 Conference: April 23 - 27, 2012

All deadlines refer to 11:59pm Samoa time (UTC/GMT -11 hours)

Requirements
------------
Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed
work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of
completion of the reported results. A paper accepted for presentation at
EACL 2012 cannot be presented at any other meeting with publicly
available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to
other conferences or workshops must indicate this on the submission
page. If the paper is accepted by both EACL 2012 and another meeting or
publication, it must be withdrawn from one of them. Furthermore, its
authors must notify the program chairs, within a week of receiving the
EACL 2012 acceptance notification, whether or not they have chosen EACL
2012 for presentation of their work.

Review and Selection
--------------------
Reviewing of papers will be double-blind, and all submissions will
receive three independent reviews.
Final decisions on the program will be made by the Program Committee,
consisting of the Program Co-Chairs and Area Chairs.
Submissions will be assessed with respect to appropriateness, clarity,
soundness/correctness, meaningful comparison,
originality/innovativeness, and impact of ideas or results.

Publication and Presentation
----------------------------
All papers that are accepted will be published in the proceedings of the
conference, and will be presented orally or as a poster presentation as
determined by the program committee. The decisions as to which papers
will be presented orally and which as poster presentations will be based
on the nature rather than on the quality of the work.
Authors will be also  asked on submission to state their preferred
mode of presentation.
EACL 2012 will continue aiming to give poster presentations a high
status.
There will be no distinction in the conference proceedings between
papers that are assigned different presentation modes.

Submission Information
----------------------
All submissions must be submitted electronically as PDF and must follow
the two-column format of EACL proceedings. Authors are strongly
recommended to use the style files available on the conference web
site. Papers may consist of up to nine (9) pages of content and any
number of additional pages containing references only.

EACL 2012 will also accept papers accompanied by the resource(s)
(software or data) described in the paper. In addition to the regular
review of the research quality of the paper, these papers will also be
reviewed for the quality of the resource that is being made
available. Acceptance or rejection decision will be made based on the
quality of both the research and the software/data component.

As reviewing will be double-blind, the paper should not include the
authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that
reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991)
...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith
previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Authors should not use anonymous
citations and should not include any acknowledgments. Papers that do not
conform to these requirements will be rejected without review.

The deadline for submission is 11:59pm Samoa Time (UTC/GMT -11 hours) on
November 4, 2011.  Additional instructions for electronic submission
will be posted on the conference website at http://eacl2012.org

Mentoring service
-----------------
EACL is providing a mentoring (coaching) service for authors from
regions of the world where English is less emphasized as a language of
scientific exchange. Many authors from these regions, although able to
read the scientific literature in English, have little or no experience
in writing papers in English for conferences such as the E/ACL
meetings. If you would like to take advantage of the service, please
upload your paper in PDF format by September 23, 2011 using the paper
submission software for the mentoring service which will be available at
the conference website. Questions about the mentoring service should be
referred to mentoring at eacl2012.org

Sujet du stage M2 (5-6 mois) : Un langage contr?le pour les Instructions
Nautiques du SHOM

Responsables : Yannis Haralambous (T?l?com Bretagne / Lab-STICC),
Georges Dubois (SHOM)

Laboratoire d'accueil : T?l?com Bretagne http://www.telecom-bretagne.eu
et Lab-STICC, p?le CID, ?quipe DECIDE http://www.lab-sticc.fr/

Les langages contr?l?s sont des langages artificiels utilisant un
sous-ensemble du vocabulaire, des formes morphologiques, des
constructions grammaticales et des interpr?tations s?mantiques d?une
langue naturelle (dans notre cas : le fran?ais). En quelque sorte ils
constituent le pont entre les langages formels et les langues
naturelles. De ce fait, ils remplissent la fonction de communication du
m?dium texte tout en ?tant rigoureux et analysables par la machine sans
ambigu?t?.

En particulier, ils peuvent ?tre utilis?s pour faciliter l?alimentation
de bases de connaissances, dans le cadre d?une interface homme-machine
au moment de la saisie du texte.

Le Service Hydrographique et Oc?anographique de la Marine (SHOM) publie
depuis plusieurs ann?es les Instructions Nautiques, un recueil de
renseignements g?n?raux, nautiques et r?glementaires, destin?s aux
navigateurs. Ces informations compl?tent les cartes marines. Elles sont
obligatoires ? bord des navires de commerce et de p?che.

L?Organisation Hydrographique Internationale (OHI) a publi? des normes
sp?cifiant l??change de donn?es li?es ? la navigation et notamment un
mod?le universel de donn?es hydrographiques (norme S-100, janvier 2010).

Le but de ce stage est d??laborer un langage contr?l? qui couvre les
besoins des Instructions Nautiques et qui permette l?alimentation de
bases de connaissances conformes ? la norme S-100. Comment faire ?voluer
le langage selon les ?volutions des ontologies concern?es et
l'alimentation de la base de connaissances ?

Dans le contexte d?une th?se CIFRE, deux applications seront envisag?es
: (a) une interface homme-machine qui analyse en temps r?el le texte
saisi par l?op?rateur des Instructions Nautiques et qui valide son
appartenance au langage contr?l? ; (b) un outil semi-automatique de
traduction des documents existants dans le langage contr?l?.

Ce stage se concentrera sur la faisabilit? d?un langage contr?l? qui
satisfasse les deux contraintes : exploitation optimale du contenu
traditionnel des Instructions Nautiques et ad?quation avec la norme
S-100. Un prototype de langage sera ?labor?, accompagn? des algorithmes
d?extraction de connaissances et d?alimentation d?une base de
connaissance conforme ? la norme S-100.

Ce stage est propos? en collaboration avec le SHOM.

Annonce pour la cr?ation d'un groupe de travail

et 1er appel ? participation

Visualisation d'informations, interaction et fouille de donn?es (GT-VIF)

commun ? l'Association Francophone d'Interface Homme-Machine (AFIHM) 

et l'association Extraction et Gestion des Connaissances (EGC)

Site web : http://wiki.afihm.org/index.php?title=GT_VIF 

Formulaire d'adh?sion :
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFBMamc4RzRFb0hVMmxjSkdEeWpuTXc6MQ

Objectifs 
=======

Ce groupe de travail a pour objectif de r?unir les chercheurs
francophones int?ress?s par les probl?matiques li?es ? la visualisation
d'informations, ? la fouille visuelle de donn?es et plus g?n?ralement
aux approches visuelles et interactives pour la repr?sentation et
l'extraction d'informations et de connaissances. Il s'appuie sur deux
communaut?s dont les th?matiques scientifiques sont devenues tr?s
proches : d'une part les chercheurs en visualisation d'informations
issus du domaine de l'interface Homme-Machine et f?d?r?s dans l'AFIHM,
et d'autre part les chercheurs en fouille visuelle de donn?es issus du
domaine de l'extraction et de la gestion des connaissances et f?d?r?s
dans l'association EGC. On constate en effet aujourd'hui d'une part une
importance croissante des approches visuelles dans les probl?matiques de
repr?sentations et d'extraction d'informations, et d'autre part une
convergence entre les domaines de la visualisation d'informations
(Information Visualization), de la fouille visuelle de donn?es (Visual
Data Mining), et de la visualisation analytique (Visual Analytics).

Ce groupe de travail, soutenu ? la fois par l'AFIHM et EGC, aura ? c?ur
de faire se rencontrer les chercheurs des communaut?s "Visualisation
d'informations" et "Fouille visuelle de donn?es", de f?d?rer des actions
(ateliers, tutoriels, journ?es d??tude, num?ros de revues, etc), de
servir de ? tremplin ? pour des publications et d'autres activit?s
internationales (comp?titions, etc), et de renforcer la visibilit? de
cette communaut? scientifique francophone sur l?espace europ?en.

Th?matiques
===========

La liste non exhaustive des th?mes abord?s est la suivante (elle sera
compl?t?e par les membres du groupe) :

? Visualisation d'information, fouille visuelle de donn?es,
  visualisation analytique

? Visualisation de donn?es (toutes repr?sentations) : attributs-valeurs,
  pr?dicats, s?quences, donn?es temporelles, donn?es g?ographiques et
  spatiales, surfaces et volumes 3D, arbres et structures hi?rarchiques,
  graphes, images et multim?dia, ...


? Visualisation de connaissances (toutes repr?sentations): arbres de
  d?cision, treillis, graphes, cartes, r?gles d'association, cartes de
  Kohonen, ...

? Repr?sentations visuelles (toutes m?thodes) : 1D, 2D, 2.5D, 3D et 3D
  st?r?oscopique, 4D, nD, m?taphores visuelles,

? Interactions, classification interactive, fouille et d?couverte
  interactive supervis?e ou non supervis?e,

? Combinaison de m?thodes visuelles et des m?thodes automatiques

? Exploration visuelle des donn?es pour le pr?traitement et le
  post-traitement

? Interface avec l'expert du domaine, interfaces tactiles, haptiques,
  immersives avec utilisation de la r?alit? virtuelle (interactions 3D,
  ?crans st?r?oscopiques, ...)

? Evaluations utilisateurs et validations

? Architectures logicielles et mat?rielles pour la visualisation

? Applications et r?alisations industrielles : donn?es m?dicales et
  scientifiques, marketing, r?seaux sociaux, ...

Projets 
======

Abstract: Normalization is involved in many fields of information
processing. It improves the performance of several applications, such as
information retrieval or information extraction, and makes the
construction of language resources more reliable. Normalization consists
in standardizing each variant of a term or named entity into a unique
form, and in this way restricts the impact of language variation. Our
work applies to named entity normalization, and aims at optimizing
fine-grained corpus analyses carried out by the TecKnowMetrix
Company. Our approach mixes several methods, such as pattern matching,
similarity metrics and endogenous techniques. Moreover, we place the
user in the center of our normalization process, in order to obtain
fully reliable data that fit his or her needs.

R?sum? : La normalisation intervient dans de nombreux champs du
traitement de l?information. Elle permet d?am?liorer l?efficacit?
d?applications telles que la recherche ou l?extraction d?information, et
de rendre plus fiable la constitution de ressources langagi?res. La
normalisation consiste ? ramener toutes les variantes d?un m?me terme ou
d?une entit? nomm?e ? une forme standard, et permet de limiter les
effets de la variation linguistique.  Notre travail porte sur la
normalisation des entit?s nomm?es, et vise ? optimiser les analyses de
corpus fines r?alis?es par la soci?t? TecKnowMetrix. Notre approche
combine plusieurs m?thodes, telles que l?utilisation de formes, de
calculs de similarit?, ou encore de techniques endog?nes. De plus, nous
pla?ons l?utilisateur au centre du processus de normalisation, afin
d?obtenir des donn?es parfaitement fiables et adapt?es ? ses besoins.


3-- Bilingual Document Clustering: Evaluating Cognates as Features / Le

David Pinto-Avenda?o

Abstract: This paper focuses on the task of bilingual clustering, which
involves dividing a set of documents from two different languages into a
set of groups, so that documents with similar topics belong to the same
group, regardless of their source language. It mainly considers a
clustering approach that relies on the use of cognates as document
features.  Particularly, it proposes two straightforward methods that
extract cognates from their own target document collection and do not
require using any external bilingual resource, like parallel corpora or
a bilingual dictionary. Experimental results in two bilingual
collections that include news reports in English and Spanish are
encouraging. They indicate that cognates are relevant features for the
task of bilingual clustering, outperforming by more than 10% the results
achieved by other known approaches.

R?sum? : Cet article se consacre ? la t?che du groupage bilingue, qui
comprend la r?partition d?une s?rie de documents appartenant ? deux
langues diff?rentes en une s?rie de groupes, de telle fa?on que les
sujets similaires apparaissent dans le m?me groupe, quelle que soit la
langue d?origine. Il s?int?resse surtout ? une approche de groupage qui
fait usage des cognats consid?r?s comme des traits distinctifs des
documents. En particulier, il propose deux m?thodes directes permettant
l?extraction des cognats ? partir de leur propre collection de documents
cibles, sans recourir ? l?utilisation de ressources bilingues externes,
telles que des corpus parall?les ou un dictionnaire bilingue. Nous avons
obtenu des r?sultats exp?rimentaux encourageants avec deux collections
bilingues incluant des bulletins de nouvelles en anglais et en
espagnol. Ces r?sultats indiquent que les cognats sont des traits
distinctifs valables pour le groupage de documents bilingues, et qu?ils
permettent d?obtenir des r?sultats d?passant de 10 % ceux que l?on
obtient avec les autres approches connues.


4-- Automatic Modeling of Logical Connectors by Statistical Analysis of
Context / Mod?lisation automatique de connecteurs logiques par analyse
statistique du contexte

Eric Charton et Juan-Manuel Torres-Moreno

Abstract: In this paper we present an algorithm for the enrichment of
the language model by a model of logical connectors. Using seed
connectors based on a corpus, our algorithm is capable of grouping
context-dependant logical connectors of identical meaning into
classes. This categorization of links may then be employed to generate
finite state machines (FSMs) capable of identifying logical articulation
of a phrase. In this capacity, it constitutes a first step towards an
automatic analysis of argumentative texts. We use this device (FSMs),
assisted by a language model, to rewrite automatically sentences in a
text processing system.

R?sum? : Dans cet article, nous d?crivons un algorithme d?enrichissement
de mod?le de langue par un mod?le de connecteurs logiques. Notre
algorithme est capable, en partant de connecteurs amorces et en
s?appuyant sur un corpus, de regrouper automatiquement des connecteurs
logiques de sens identiques, en fonction du contexte. Ce regroupement
peut ?tre ensuite utilis? pour g?n?rer des automates ? ?tats finis
capables d?identifier une articulation logique dans une phrase. ? ce
titre, il constitue un premier pas en direction de l?analyse automatique
de textes argumentatifs. Nous utilisons ce dispositif dans un syst?me de
r??criture automatique de phrases, assist? par mod?le de langue.

 
5-- A Sentiment-Based Digital Library of Movie Review Documents Using
Fedora / Une biblioth?que num?rique de documents critiques de films
bas?e sur les sentiments en utilisant Fedora

Abstract: This study develops a digital library of movie review
documents that supports sentiment-based browsing and searching. Firstly,
we develop an automatic method for in-depth sentiment analysis and
classification of movie review documents to provide sentiment
orientations toward multiple perspectives of movies, such as overall
opinion about the movie, director, and cast. By utilizing information
extraction techniques such as entity extraction, co-referencing, and
pronoun resolution, the review texts are segmented into multiple
sections where each section contains multiple sentences and discusses a
particular aspect of the reviewed movie. For each aspect section, a
machine-learning algorithm, Support Vector Machine (SVM), is applied to
determine sentiment orientation toward the target aspect.  Secondly a
prototype digital library is developed with the automatically analysed
data to show the usefulness of sentiment-based browsing and
searching. Using the system, the user can browse and search movies by
sentiment polarity (positive, neutral, or negative) of multiple aspects
in the movie. Finally, a usability evaluation is conducted to observe
the effectiveness of the sentiment-based digital library.

R?sum? : Cette ?tude examine le d?veloppement d?une biblioth?que
num?rique de documents critiques de films permettant l?exploration et la
recherche par sentiments. Pour commencer, nous d?veloppons une m?thode
automatique pour l?analyse en profondeur des sentiments et la
classification des documents critiques de films propres ? fournir des
orientations ? propos des sentiments capables d?offrir des perspectives
multiples sur les films, comme par exemple l?opinion g?n?rale sur le
film, sur le metteur en sc?ne, et sur les acteurs. Gr?ce ? l?utilisation
de techniques d?extraction d?information telles que l?extraction
d?entit?s, le co-r?f?rencement, et la r?solution de pronoms, les comptes
rendus sont segment?s en de multiples sections o? chacune contient
plusieurs phrases et aborde un aspect particulier du film en question. ?
chacune de ces sections on applique un algorithme d?apprentissage
automatique, Support Vector Machine (SVM), qui d?termine l?orientation
du ou des sentiments pour cette section. Ensuite, nous d?veloppons un
prototype de biblioth?que num?rique en utilisant les donn?es analys?es
automatiquement afin de montrer l?utilit? de l?exploration et de la
recherche par sentiments. En utilisant ce syst?me, l?utilisateur peut
explorer et faire des recherches dans les films selon les polarit?s des
sentiments (positif, neutre, ou n?gatif) et ce, sur de nombreux aspects
des films. Pour finir, nous avons effectu? une ?valuation
d?utilisabilit? afin de v?rifier l?efficacit? d?une biblioth?que
num?rique bas?e sur les sentiments.

***************************************************
EACL 2012 Student Research Workshop
***************************************************
Thirteenth Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for
Computational Linguistics - Student Research Workshop
Avignon, France
April 25-27, 2012
http://www.eacl2012.org

***************************************************
LAST CALL FOR PAPERS 
***************************************************
 Submission deadline: November 18, 2011
*************************************************** 

1. General Invitation for Submissions

EACL 2012 will continue the tradition of providing a forum for student
researchers who are investigating various areas related to Computational
Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. Participants will have the
opportunity to get feedback both from a wide audience in general and
from selected panelists -- experienced researchers who prepare in-depth
comments and questions in advance of the presentation.

The European Association of Computational Linguistics would like to
invite student researchers to submit their work to the
workshop. Original and unpublished research is invited on all aspects of
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing, including,
but not limited to:

- pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax and the lexicon
- phonetics, phonology and morphology
- linguistic, mathematical and psychological models of language
- information retrieval, information extraction, question answering
- generation, summarization and paraphrasing
- speech recognition, speech synthesis
- corpus-based language modeling
- multi-lingual processing, machine translation, translation aids
- spoken and written natural language interfaces, dialogue systems
- language resources and tools
- multi-modal language processing, multimedia systems
- message and narrative understanding systems
- other Natural Language Processing applications

The main conference will also feature tutorials and workshops. Further
information on these is available at the main conference website:
http://www.eacl2012.org


2. Submission Requirements

Seeing that the main mission of the student workshop is to provide the
participants with a wide audience and useful feedback, the emphasis of
the workshop will be on work in progress. It will therefore normally be
open to students who have settled on their thesis direction but who
still have significant research left to do; those students in the final
stages of their thesis are encouraged to submit to the main
conference. Papers should clearly indicate directions for future
research where appropriate. The papers can have more than one author,
however all authors must be students.

A paper accepted for presentation at the Student Workshop cannot be
presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly
available proceedings. Double submissions to the EACL main conference
and the Student Research Workshop are not allowed. A student can only
submit one paper to the Student Workshop. Papers that are being
submitted to other conferences must indicate this on the submission
page. Students who have previously presented at an ACL/EACL/NAACL
student session will not be eligible to present again at the student
session of any of these conferences. These students are instead
encouraged to submit to the main conference.


3. Submission Format

All submissions must be submitted electronically as PDF and must follow
the two-column format of EACL proceedings. Authors are strongly
recommended to use the style files available on the conference web
site. Papers may consist of up to nine (9) pages of content and any
number of additional pages containing references only.

As reviewing will be double-blind, the paper should not include the
authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that
reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991)
...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith
previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Authors should not use anonymous
citations and should not include any acknowledgments. Papers that do not
conform to these requirements will be rejected without review.

The deadline for submission is 11:59pm Samoa Time (UTC/GMT -11 hours) on
November 18, 2011.  Papers have to be submitted before the deadline
through the START conference portal for the workshop, which is available
at the following URL: 

	https://www.softconf.com/eacl2012/EACL-SRW-2012/


4. Reviewing Procedure

The reviewing of the papers will be blind. Reviewing will be managed by
the Student Workshop Co-Chairs and a team of reviewers. Each submission
will be matched with a mixed panel of student and senior researchers for
review, and will receive three independent reviews. The final acceptance
decision will be based on the results of the review.


5. Important Dates

Paper submission deadline: November 18, 2011
Notification of acceptance: January 27, 2012
Camera-ready papers due: March 9, 2012
Papers available on-line: April 19, 2012
Student Research Workshop (The session will be held during the EACL main
conference): April 25 - 27, 2012

All deadlines refer to 11:59pm Samoa time (UTC/GMT -11 hours)

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

R?sum?

Avec l?augmentation des connaissances disponibles sur Internet est
apparue la difficult? d?obtenir une information. Les moteurs de
recherche permettent de retourner des pages Web cens?s contenir
l?information d?sir?e ? partir de mots cl?s. Toutefois il est encore
n?cessaire de trouver la bonne requ?te et d?examiner les documents
retourn?s.

Les syst?mes de questions r?ponses ont pour but de renvoyer directement
une r?ponse concise ? partir d?une question pos?e en langue
naturelle. La r?ponse est g?n?ralement accompagn?e d?un passage de texte
cens? la justifier. Par exemple, pour la question ? Quel est le
r?alisateur d?Avatar ? ? la r?ponse ? James Cameron ?peut ?tre renvoy?e
accompagn?e de ? James Cameron a r?alis? Avatar. ?.

Cette th?se se focalise sur la validation de r?ponses qui permet de
d?terminer automatiquement si la r?ponse est valide. Une r?ponse est
valide si elle est correcte (r?pond bien ? la question) et justifi?e par
le passage textuel. Cette validation permet d?am?liorer les syst?mes de
questions r?ponses en ne renvoyant ? l?utilisateur que les r?ponses
valides.

Les approches permettant de reconna?tre les r?ponses valides peuvent se
d?composer en deux grandes cat?gories :

? les approches utilisant un formalisme de repr?sentation particulier de
  la question et du passage dans lequel les structures sont compar?es ;

? les approches suivant une approche par apprentissage qui combinent
  diff?rents crit?res d?ordres lexicaux ou syntaxiques.

Dans le but d?identifier les diff?rents ph?nom?nes sous tendant la
validation de r?ponses, nous avons particip? ? la cr?ation d?un corpus
annot? manuellement. Ces ph?nom?nes sont de diff?rentes natures telle
que la paraphrase ou la cor?f?rence. On peut aussi remarquer que les
diff?rentes informations sont r?parties sur plusieurs phrases, voire
sont manquantes dans les passages contenant la r?ponse.

Une deuxi?me ?tude de corpus de questions a port? sur les diff?rentes
informations ? v?rifier afin de d?tecter qu?une r?ponse est
valide. Cette ?tude a montr? que les trois ph?nom?nes les plus fr?quents
sont la v?rification du type de la r?ponse, la date et le lieu contenus
dans la question.  Ces diff?rentes ?tudes ont permis de mettre au point
notre syst?me de validation de r?ponses qui s?appuie sur une combinaison
de crit?res. Certains crit?res traitent de la pr?sence dans le passage
des mots de la question ce qui permet de pointer la pr?sence des
informations de la question. Un traitement particulier a ?t? effectu?
pour les informations de date en d?tectant une r?ponse comme n??tant pas
valide si le passage ne contient pas la date contenue dans la
question. D?autres crit?res, dont la proximit? dans le passage des mots
de la question et de la r?ponse, portent sur le lien entre les
diff?rents mots de la question dans le passage.

Le second grand type de v?rification permet de mesurer la compatibilit?
entre la r?ponse et la question. Un certain nombre de questions
attendent une r?ponse ?tant d?un type particulier. La question de
l?exemple pr?c?dent attend ainsi un r?alisateur en r?ponse. Si la
r?ponse n?est pas de ce type alors elle est incorrecte. Comme cette
information peut ne pas se trouver dans le passage justificatif, elle
est recherch?e dans des documents autres ? l?aide de la structure des
pages Wikip?dia, en utilisant des patrons syntaxiques ou gr?ce ? des
fr?quences d?apparitions du type et de la r?ponse dans des documents. La
v?rification du type est particuli?rement efficace puisqu?elle effectue
80 % de bonnes d?tections. La v?rification de la validit? des r?ponses
est ?galement pertinente puisque lors de la participation ? une campagne
d??valuation, AVE 2008, le syst?me s?est plac? parmi les meilleurs
toutes langues confondues.

La derni?re contribution a consist? ? int?grer le module de validation
dans un syst?me de questions r?ponses, QAVAL. Dans ce cadre de
nombreuses r?ponses sont extraites par QAVAL et ordonn?es gr?ce au
module de validation de r?ponses. Le syst?me n?est plus utilis? afin de
d?tecter les r?ponses valides mais pour fournir un score de confiance ?
chaque r?ponse. Le syst?me QAVAL peut ainsi aussi bien ?tre utilis? en
effectuant des recherches dans des articles de journaux que dans des
articles issus du Web. Les r?sultats sont assez bons puisqu?ils
d?passent ceux obtenus par un simple ordonnancement des r?ponses de pr?s
de 50 %.

de 12 mois ? temps complet ? partir de d?cembre 2011 ou janvier 2012
pour travailler dans l'op?ration de recherche LC1 "Analyse
plurifactorielle des contacts de langues et du changement linguistique".
Le candidat sera bas? ? l'UMR SEDYL (CNRS-INALCO-IRD) - Campus CNRS de
Villejuif.

Information ? diffuser aux personnes susceptibles d'?tre int?ress?es,
merci.

  Postdoc : Fouille de donn?es textuelles sur corpus h?t?rog?nes et
  plurilingues

Dur?e :
12 mois, ? partir de d?c 2011 ou janvier 2012

Salaire:
24 000 EUR net/ an

Sp?cialit?s:
Linguistique informatique, fouille de donn?es textuelles

*Date limite de candidature: *
*10 novembre 2011*

      Comp?tences

Le candidat doit avoir un doctorat en informatique / linguistique
informatique et ?tre expert du domaine de la fouille de donn?es - de
pr?f?rence sur un domaine d'application linguistique (fouille de texte,
traitement automatique du langage) impliquant des donn?es textuelles de
large dimension structur?es en xml. Une connaissance des standards TEI
serait un plus.  Il doit savoir programmer en C, la pratique de C++ ou
de Java est ?galement un avantage.  Il doit conna?tre et savoir utiliser
le mod?le relationnel de bases de donn?es et le langage SQL (une
connaissance du syst?me MySQL est un avantage).  Avoir une curiosit?
pour la diversit? des langues est ?galement un plus.

      Description

  Le travail consiste ? d?velopper des fonctions de fouille de texte qui
seront appliqu?es ? des corpus de langues en contact, c'est-?-dire ? des
transcriptions de productions verbales non-homog?nes recueillies en
situations multilingues (o? les locuteurs parlent plusieurs langues ? la
fois ; le projet implique 38 langues de tous les continents). Ce cas de
figure est traditionnellement peu pris en compte par les algorithmes de
la linguistique informatique, par exemple par les syst?mes destin?s ?
identifier automatiquement le jeu de cat?gories grammaticales pr?sentes
dans un corpus (inf?rence grammaticale) ou ? attribuer des cat?gories
aux occurrences des unit?s lexicales (?tiquetage).

Des r?sultats scientifiques sont attendus ? la fois sur le plan des
faits linguistiques qui pourront ?tre mis en ?vidence (corr?lations de
certaines cat?gories d'unit?, ou de certaines positions syntaxiques,
avec les ph?nom?nes de contact et changement linguistique), et sur le
plan des techniques d'apprentissage d?velopp?es.

La difficult? du sujet r?side dans le grand nombre des variables ?
analyser, par rapport ? la taille du corpus (nombre d'?chantillons).
Cette caract?ristique rattache ce probl?me au domaine de recherche de
l'analyse de donn?es de grande dimension pour laquelle une approche de
type "r?duction de la dimensionnalit? des donn?es" telle que ? manifold
learning ? est envisag?e.

Si vous ?tes int?ress?, merci d'envoyer un CV (incluant une liste de
publication), une lettre de motivation et les noms de deux r?f?rents ? :

Isabelle L?glise (leglise at vjf.cnrs.fr) & Pascal Vaillant
