Workshop Description:

Phonotactic grammar organizes the distribution of phonemes and
supra-segmental entities in word-sized strings. It is based on
categorical rules and probabilistic constraints in the distribution of
segments; phonotactic rules and constraints have been shown to be
sensitive to several properties of the language, referring not only to
phonetic-phonological principles but also to the morphological structure
of words or their frequency of use.

Many psycho-computational models of phonotactic learning have been
proposed to account for the development of phonotactic knowledge in the
mind of the speaker; they basically induce phonotactic regularities
either from segmental properties (such as features and their natural
classes), or lexical distributions (such as the information related to
the lexical neighborhood of a word), or even a principled balance of
both segmental and lexical properties.

This workshop is focused on experimental approaches to phonotactics and
phonotactic learning and aims at providing an informal atmosphere for
discussion on psychologically and computationally sound models of
phonotactic learning and lexical and sub-lexical processing.

POSTDOCTORAL/ENGINEERING POSITION at INRIA Rennes, France

Topic: Text-mining and information extraction in multimedia documents

Information extraction and text-mining are well known domains of Natural
Language Processing. Yet, dealing with low-quality texts, like automatic
speech transcription or OCRized overlays, raises new challenges in terms
of portability and robustness.

In that context, the proposed project aims at developing new text-mining
and information extraction approaches to overcome these
difficulties. The goal is to rely on simple but robust description of
the text and new machine learning techniques and paradigms (CRF,
boosting, semi-supervised approaches...).

The typical tasks concerned are term and named entity recognition and
discovery, (ontological or semantic) relation recognition and
discovery...

The candidate is expected to implement these new approaches, participate
to evaluation and challenges in this field, both for well-formed texts
and degraded texts (such as speech transcripts), and may also help in
developing new evaluation datasets.

This work takes place in the context of the Quaero project, funded by
the French National Innovation Agency (www.quaero.org).
The work will be performed at IRISA/INRIA Rennes, France
(http://www.irisa.fr/http://www.inria.fr/centre/rennes/). The candidate
will integrate the TexMex team, whose main research topics include
large-scale multimedia indexing, speech processing, information
retrieval.

QUALIFICATIONS AND POSITION

The successful candidate will have a engineering degree or PhD with a
track record of Information Extraction, Text-Mining or Machine Learning
for Natural Language Processing research.

Fluency in English is mandatory.

This position is for 12 months and may begin as early as Nov 1st, 2012,
and no later than mid-December. Salary follows INRIA scales and depends
on the candidate's experience (the minimum monthly net salary is about
1900 €).

To apply, please send a cover letter, describing how the applicant's
knowledge and research background will contribute to the project, a CV,
and the names and contact information of two referees to:

 Title: "Grammars as Mechanisms for Real-Time Tree-Growth: Explaining
         Clitic Pronouns"

 Abstract: In this talk, we argue for a shift of perspective into
defining grammars as mechanisms for incremental growth of interpretation
reflecting the time-line of processing (Dynamic Syntax: Kempson et
al. 2001, Cann et al. 2005, Chatzikyriakidis & Kempson 2011). The core
syntactic notion of this framework is that of monotonic context-relative
tree growth (following Blackburn & Meyer-Viol 1994), with both content
and structural parameters of underspecification and update. Our case
study is the puzzle of clitic pronoun clusters of Modern Greek dialects,
which illustrate both the low level morphological idiosyncracy of such
clusterings, and yet the broad cross-linguistic constraints to which
they are subject: these dialects display variants of the so-called
Person Case Constraint, a constraint whose generality continues to
provide a major challenge for current theoretical frameworks (Adger &
Harbour 2007, Heap 2005, among others). We show first how the limits on
variation displayed in such clusters are explicable in terms of a
constraint debarring more than one underspecified tree relation of a
type at a time, a constraint only expressible in a dynamical grammar
framework; and we give an analysis of Greek dialectal variation in these
terms. Then we explore the consequences of this theoretical perspective,
viz. the domain-generality of the system of growth underpinning
natural-language syntax; and we will suggest that metrical ambiguities
and metrical dissonance displayed in music (Vazan & Schober 2004, London
2012) are subject to the same restriction on real-time structural
processing.

Offre de thèse sur projet (septembre 2012)

Spécialisé en traitement automatique des langues (analyse de texte et
langue des signes), le groupe ILES (Information Langue Écrite et Signée)
du LIMSI (Laboratoire d'Informatique pour la Mécanique et les Sciences
de l'Ingénieur), à Orsay (91), offre une thèse de doctorat (3 ans à
l'école doctorale d'informatique de l'Université Paris Sud) financée sur
un projet de recherche applicative (Pôle de compétitivité SYSTEMATIC)
dans le domaine de l'aide à l'estimation de coûts de développement et de
maintenance des systèmes d'information à partir de l'analyse automatique
de spécifications en langue naturelle.  Date de début septembre 2012.

Dans le contexte de ce projet ambitieux, le doctorant effectuera des
recherches en extraction d'information précise et analyse sémantique
automatique sur des corpus de spécifications de systèmes de traitement
d'information fournis par les partenaires industriels du projet.  À
partir du contenu en langue naturelle et de la structure des documents,
il développera de nouvelles approches permettant d'identifier et
d'extraire les informations nécessaires à l'établissement des estimation
de coût de développement et de maintenance des systèmes d'information
décrits dans ces documents.  Ces informations seront utilisées dans un
système d'aide à l'estimation de coût dont la construction est
l'objectif de PROJESTIMATE. L'estimation de coût est une activité
actuellement réalisée entièrement à la main par des experts,
PROJESTIMATE permettra de concevoir et développer la première solution
d'aide à l'estimation de coût dans un contexte de recherche et de
développement industriel de très haut niveau.

Salaire : 1427 € net mensuel (ou 1700 € si charge d'enseignement

La société Noopsis propose des solutions logicielles à haute valeur
ajoutée sur un coeur de métier très spécifique : l'analyse
sémantique. Il s'agit principalement d'automatiser l'extraction et la
recherche d'informations à partir de contenus textuels en langue
naturelle (ce que l'on appelle "text-mining" ou "fouille de
texte"). Nous nous adressons en priorité aux entreprises et organismes à
qui nous proposons des applications d'intelligence économique, de
veille, d'enrichissement documentaire ou de collecte automatique
d'informations de toutes natures. La société a été fondée en 2008 par un
groupe de chercheurs et d'ingénieurs spécialisés en ingénierie des
langues, en ingénierie des connaissances et en analyse de données. Les
associés fondateurs sont issus du GREYC (CNRS-Université de Caen),
laboratoire reconnu pour ses activités en traitement automatique des
langues.

Poste et missions :

- En collaboration avec des informaticiens-linguistes, vous travaillerez
  sur différents types d'applications documentaires : veille
  automatisée, enrichissement documentaire, recherche et extraction
  d'informations, gestion et analyse de flux documentaires, etc.

- Au sein de l'équipe R&D de Noopsis, vous participerez à l'élaboration
  de solutions d'analyse sémantique répondant aux besoins spécifiques de
  nos clients ainsi qu'à l'évolution de notre plate-forme de traitement
  automatique des langues.

- Vous devrez pour cela prendre en main la plate-forme logicielle que
  nous développons et utilisons en interne et définir des stratégies
  d'analyses en travaillant aussi bien au niveau de la collecte des
  informations, de leurs traitements et de la capitalisation des données
  extraites.

- Vous participerez également aux évolutions futures de cette
  plate-forme en développant de nouveaux composants et APIs.


Profil :

- Vous êtes idéalement titulaire d'un doctorat spécialisé en
  informatique ou en linguistique.

- Vous avez acquis au moins une première expérience significative en
  thèse, en entreprise ou en laboratoire avec un fort intérêt pour le
  traitement automatique des langues et le document électronique.

- Vous êtes dynamique, vous savez travailler en équipe et vous former
  rapidement à de nouvelles technologies.

Compétences souhaitées :

- Vous avez de solides compétences en traitements automatiques des
  langues.

- Vous avez une bonne connaissance des technologies de la famille XML
  (XHTML, XSLT, XSchema, XQuery, etc.).

- Vous avez idéalement une expérience pratique des technologies de la
  famille J2EE (langage et API Java, Swing, Servlet/JSP, JDBC, EJB,
  etc.).

- Vous avez de préférence des connaissances sur les formalismes et
  outils de la famille RDF (principes, RDFS, OWL, SPARQL, etc.).

- Une expérience avec une plate-forme de traitement automatique des
  langues (telles Unitex, Nooj, Gate, Linguastream, etc.) serait un
  plus, de même que des connaissances en grammaires formelles et dans le
  language de programmation logique Prolog.

Workshop on Language Technology for Decision Support
October 25, 2012
Lund, Sweden

http://www.clul.ul.pt/component/content/article/448-sltc-2012

The workshop is organized as a part of SLTC, the Fourth Swedish Language
Technology Conference, which takes place on 24-26 October 2012 in
Lund,Sweden.  The workshop is held on October 25, 2012. Details about
the conference: http://nlp.cs.lth.se/events/sltc_2012/

This workshop will investigate the relation and complementarity between
factual and opinionated information for decision-making. Traditionally,
natural language processing approaches and tools have segregated the
objective and subjective treatments of information in two separate
fields of expertise where the two never met. This workshop is an attempt
to fill this gap and examine the relation and complementarity that
exists between the factual and the speculative in order to build a more
subtle representation of the state of affairs.

In their everyday routine, managers, professionals, even laymen, must
deal with a large amount of textual information to help make their
decisions.  Without appropriate language technology tools to extract,
classify and synthesize this information, decision-makers would have to
read a large number of so-called objective sources but arguably even
more subjective and opinionated material. Facts and opinions would then
be combined together to create an accurate picture of the entity or
issue we seek to understand. Facts are of course crucial to make
professional or personal decisions, but opinions may sometimes play a
key role. For this workshop we have identified two specific domains
where factual and subjective information have an importance: brand
management and health (patient empowerment and education), with an eye
towards clinical decision. However, any relevant domains where the
factual and the opinionated co-exist would be considered.

We encourage submissions addressing the following questions:

* Relevance of the extracted information (certainty, speculation and
  subjectivity) in a decision making context

* How to combine objective and subjective information in NLP-based
  decision making to produce a better understanding

* Exploitation of the objective and subjective information:

* How do managers combine the factual and the less tangible to favour
  the success of their brand?

* How does the patient understand a medical decision given objective
  information by the physician and subjective information related to
  his/her feelings, as well as discussions with other patients?

* How does a physician combine what the data show about a patient with
  more subjective information like symptoms or informed opinion from a
  third party?

We would like to invite anyone currently researching in the areas of
sentiment analysis, information extraction, text mining, BioNLP or
automatic summarization to submit apaper, including submissions
presenting a discussion of a system.

Important dates

* September 10th: paper submission by email to genereux at clul.ul.pt
* October 1st: notification of acceptance
* October 15th: camera-ready papers for publication

Submission

Papers should be a maximum of 8 pages, all included and follow the SLTC
format. Only pdf files are accepted.

Style files: The style files will be the same as for SLTC 2010.

---Résumé du mémoire ---

Ce mémoire d'habilitation est l'occasion de faire le bilan de mon
activité d'enseignant-chercheur en traitement automatique des langues
(TAL) dans un laboratoire de linguistique (CLLE-ERSS) et des principales
évolutions de l'outillage informatique de la linguistique au cours des
15 dernières années.

Mes recherches portent notamment sur le repérage de structures
morphosyntaxiques dans les textes, l'analyse des structures du discours
et l'acquisition de ressources lexicales à partir de corpus. Certaines
se positionnent dans des cadres applicatifs comme la recherche
d'information et la classification de textes, mais aussi dans des
contextes plus spécifiques en lien avec d'autres disciplines (médecine,
psychologie, sociologie...).

En m'appuyant sur la diversité de ces travaux et de mes collaborations,
j'identifie quatre dimensions d'évolution principales :

- l'augmentation de la masse de données langagières disponibles et
  notamment la part croissante de l'utilisation du Web comme corpus ;

- la complexification de l'outillage informatique disponible pour gérer
  la masse et la variété des données accessibles (outils de constitution
  et d'interrogation de corpus) ;

- la complexification de l'annotation des données langagières, qu'elle
  soit manuelle, assistée ou automatique ;

- la montée en puissance, en TAL mais aussi en linguistique descriptive,
  des méthodes quantitatives (depuis l'analyse statistique jusqu'aux
  techniques de fouille de données et d'apprentissage).

Si les avancées techniques du TAL ont permis d'accroître de façon
conséquente les potentialités d'investigation du matériau langagier, et
dans certains cas de dégager de nouveaux questionnements, elles ont
aussi contribué à creuser un fossé entre les deux composantes
(informatique et linguistique) de la discipline.

A travers ma propre expérience d'acteur ou d'accompagnateur de ces
changements et avec une vocation de "passeur" interdisciplinaire, je
cherche à dégager les principaux enjeux actuels pour la linguistique
outillée :

- doter la linguistique descriptive d'outils de visualisation de données
  pour aborder la complexité, en exploitant les avancées théoriques et
  techniques de ce nouveau champ disciplinaire et en les adaptant aux
  spécificités du matériau langagier ;

- rendre abordables aux linguistes les techniques fondamentales de
  l'analyse statistique, mais aussi les méthodes d'apprentissage
  artificiel seules capables d'assister l'investigation et
  l'exploitation de données massives et complexes ;

- replacer la linguistique au sein des développements actuels du TAL,
  notamment par le biais de l'utilisation de descripteurs linguistiques
  riches dans les outils de traitement par apprentissage, pour un
  bénéfice mutuel.

***SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS***

*Second Workshop on Applying Machine Learning Techniques to Optimise the
Division of Labour in Hybrid MT (ML4HMT-12 WS and Shared Task) at COLING
2012*

Mumbai (India), 9th December, 2012
URL: http://www.dfki.de/ml4hmt/

The workshop and associated shared task are an effort to trigger a
systematic investigation on improving state-of-the-art hybrid machine
translation, making use of advanced machine-learning (ML)
methodologies. It follows the ML4HMT-11 workshop which took place last
November in Barcelona.  The first workshop also road-tested a shared
task (and associated data set) and laid the basis for a broader reach in
2012.

*Regular Papers ML4HMT-12*

We are soliciting original papers on hybrid MT, including (but not
limited to):

* use of machine learning methods in hybrid MT;
* system combination: parallel in multi-engine MT (MEMT) or sequential
  in statistical post-editing (SPMT);
* combining phrases and translation units from different types of MT;
* syntactic pre-/re-ordering;
* using richer linguistic information in phrase-based or in hierarchical
  SMT;
* learning resources (e.g., transfer rules, transduction grammars) for
  probabilistic rule-based MT.

Full papers should be anonymous and follow the COLING full paper format
( http://www.coling2012-iitb.org/call_for_papers.php). To submit
contributions, please follow the instructions at the Workshop management
system submission website:
https://www.softconf.com/coling2012/ML4HMT12/.  The contributions will
undergo a double-blind review by members of the programme committee.

*Shared Task ML4HMT-12*

The main focus of the Shared Task is to address the question: “Can
Hybrid MT and System Combination techniques benefit from extra
information (linguistically motivated, decoding, runtime, confidence
scores, or other meta-data) from the systems involved?”  Participants
are invited to build hybrid MT systems and/or system combinations by
using the output of several MT systems of different types, as provided
by the organisers.
While participants are encouraged to use machine learning techniques to
explore the additional meta-data information sources, other general
improvements in hybrid and combination based MT are welcome to
participate in the challenge.
For systems that exploit additional meta-data information the challenge
is that additional meta-data is highly heterogeneous and (individual)
system specific.

Data: The ML4HMT-12 Shared Task involves (ES-EN) and (ZH-EN) data sets,
in each case translating into EN.

* (ES-EN): Participants are given a development bilingual set aligned at
a sentence level. Each "bilingual sentence" contains: 1) the source
sentence, 2) the target (reference) sentence and 3) the corresponding
multiple output translations from five systems, based on different MT
approaches (Apertium, Ramirez-Sanchez, 2006; Lucy, Alonso and Thurmair,
2003; Moses, Koehn et.  al., 2007). The output has been annotated with
system-internal meta-data information derived from the translation
process of each of the systems.

* (ZH-EN) A corresponding data set for ZH-EN with output translations
from three systems (Moses, Joshua and Huajian RBMT) will be provided.

Participants are challenged to build an MT mechanism where possible
making effective use of the system-specific MT meta-data output. They
can provide solutions based on opensource systems, or develop their own
mechanisms. The development set can be used for tuning the systems
during the development phase. Final submissions have to include
translation output on a test set, which will be made available one week
after training data release. Data will be provided to build
language/reordering models, possibly re-using existing resources from MT
research.

Participants can also make use of additional (linguistic analysis,
confidence estimation etc.) tools, if their systems require so, but they
have to explicitly declare this upon submission, so that they are judged
as "unconstrained" systems. This will allow for a better comparison
between participating systems.

System output will be judged via peer-based human evaluation as well as
automatic evaluation. During the evaluation phase, participants will be
requested to rank system outputs of other participants through a
web-based interface (Appraise, Federmann 2010). Automatic metrics
include BLEU (Papineni et. Al, 2002), TER (Snover et al., 2006) and
METEOR (Lavie, 2005).

Shared task participants will be invited to submit system description
papers (7 pages, not blind and should follow COLING format,
http://www.coling2012-iitb.org/call_for_papers.php).  For submissions,
please follow the instructions at the Workshop management system
submission website:https://www.softconf.com/coling2012/ML4HMT12/

perspectives, including but not limited to: computational lexicography,
psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, language learning and
ergonomics.

MOTIVATION

The way we look at dictionaries, their creation and use, has changed
dramatically over the past 30 years. (1°) While being considered as an
appendix to grammar in the past, they have in the meantime moved to
centre stage.  Indeed, there is hardly any task in NLP which can be
conducted without them.  (2°) Also, many lexicographers work nowadays
with huge digital corpora, using language technology to build and to
maintain the lexicon. (3°) Last, but not least, rather than being static
entities (data-base view), dictionaries are now viewed as graphs, whose
nodes and links (connection strengths) may change over
time. Interestingly, properties concerning topology, clustering and
evolution known from other disciplines (society, economy, human brain)
also apply to dictionaries: everything is linked, hence accessible, and
everything is evolving. Given these similarities, one may wonder what we
can learn from these disciplines.

In this 3rd edition of the CogALex workshop we therefore intend to also
invite scientists working in these fields, our goals being to broaden
the picture, i.e. to gain a better understanding concerning the mental
lexicon and to integrate these findings into our dictionaries in order
to support navigation.  Given recent advances in neurosciences, it
appears timely to seek inspiration from neuroscientists studying the
human brain. There is also a lot to be learned from other fields
studying graphs and networks, even if their object of study is something
else than language, for example biology, economy or society.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

This workshop is about possible enhancements of existing electronic
dictionaries. To perform the groundwork for the next generation of
electronic dictionaries we invite researchers involved in the building
of such dictionaries. The idea is to discuss modifications of existing
resources by taking the users' needs and knowledge states into account,
and to capitalize on the advantages of the digital media. For this
workshop we invite papers including but not limited to the following
topics which can be considered from various points of view: linguistics,
neuro- or psycholinguistics (associations, tip-of-the-tongue problem),
network-related sciences (complex graphs, network topology, small-world
problem), etc.

1) Analysis of the conceptual input of a dictionary user

- What does a language producer start from (bag of words)?
- What is in the authors' minds when they are generating a message and
  looking for a word?
- What does it take to bridge the gap between this input and the desired
  output (target word)?

2) The meaning of words

- Lexical representation (holistic, decomposed)
- Meaning representation (concept based, primitives)
- Revelation of hidden information (vector-based approaches: LSA/HAL)
- Neural models, neurosemantics, neurocomputational theories of content
  representation.

3) Structure of the lexicon

- Discovering structures in the lexicon: formal and semantic point of
  view (clustering, topical structure)
- Creative ways of getting access to and using word associations
- Evolution, i.e. dynamic aspects of the lexicon (changes of weights)
- Neural models of the mental lexicon (distribution of information
  concerning words, organisation of the mental lexicon)

4) Methods for crafting dictionaries or indexes

- Manual, automatic or collaborative building of dictionaries and
  indexes (distributional semantics, crowd-sourcing, serious games,
  etc.)
- Impact and use of social networks (Facebook, Twitter) for building
  dictionaries, for organizing and indexing the data (clustering of
  words), and for allowing to track navigational strategies, etc.
- (Semi-) automatic induction of the link type (e.g. synonym, hypernym,
  meronym, association, collocation, ...)
- Use of corpora and patterns (data-mining) for getting access to words,
  their uses, and combinations (associations)

5) Dictionary access (navigation and search strategies), interface issues

- Semantic-based search
- Search (simple query vs multiple words)
- Context-dependent search (modification of usersí goals during search)
- Recovery
- Navigation (frequent navigational patterns or search strategies used
  by people)
- Interface problems, data-visualisation

IMPORTANT DATES

- Deadline for paper submissions: October 15, 2012
- Notification of acceptance: November 5, 2012
- Camera-ready papers due: November 15, 2012
- Workshop date: December 15, 2012

SECOND APPEL À CONTRIBUTIONS

DU BRUIT DANS LE SIGNAL : GESTION DES ERREURS EN TRAITEMENT AUTOMATIQUE
DES LANGUES

UN NUMÉRO SPÉCIAL DE LA REVUE 'TRAITEMENT AUTOMATIQUE DES LANGUES' (TAL)

La langue que les applications de traitement automatique des langues ont
à traiter ressemble assez peu aux exemples parfaitement grammaticaux que
l'on rencontre dans les livres de grammaire. Dans l'usage quotidien, les
énoncés à traiter se présentent sous une forme imparfaite : les textes
dactylographiés contiennent des erreurs de saisie, ainsi que de fautes
d'orthographe et de grammaire ; les énoncés oraux correspondent souvent
à des phrases incomplètes et contiennent des disfluences; les sorties
des systèmes d'OCR contiennent de multiples confusion entre caractères,
et celles des systèmes de reconnaissance vocale contiennent des
transcriptions inexactes de ce qui a réellement été prononcé.

Le bruit est donc inhérent au données langagières et ignorer cette
réalité ne peut que nuire à la qualité de nos systèmes de
traitement. Pour certaines applications, l'enjeu est de développer des
mécanismes robustes vis-à-vis de ces erreurs. Par exemple, un système de
dialogue pourra utiliser des mesures de confiance portant sur les
hypothèses de reconnaissance vocale pour décider s'il doit demander à
l'utilisateur de répéter. Pour d'autres applications, il sera nécessaire
de faire appel à des techniques de correction automatique des erreurs;
ainsi, par exemple, un système d'OCR pourra post-traiter les textes avec
des modèles de correction contextuels pour valider l'orthographe des
mots.

Ce numéro spécial vise à rassembler des contributions portant sur la
gestion des erreurs en traitement des langues. De nombreux sous-domaines
du TAL ont besoin de prendre en compte le bruit et les erreurs dans les
signaux linguistiques qu'ils considèrent, mais il est rare que des
chercheurs issus de ces diverses communautés aient l'occasion de
comparer leurs méthodes et leurs résultats. Notre ambition est de mettre
en perspective des travaux issus de ces différents domaines de manière à
encourager la fertilisation croisée des idées.

Pour ce numéro spécial, nous considérons donc comme pertinent tout
travail touchant au traitement automatique de données bruitées. Les
sous-domaines les plus développés sont probablement la correction
orthographique, et, dans une moindre mesure, la correction grammaticale;
aucun de ces problèmes n'est pourtant complètement résolu, et la
situation est encore moins satisfaisante quand on considère des erreurs
plus profondes, touchant par exemple au style ou à l'organisation du
discours. Les traitements robustes, qui visent à extraire le maximum
d'informations utiles d'entrées potentiellement erronées, seront aussi
favorablement considérés, que ces entrées se présentent sous forme
écrite ou orale ; plus généralement, lesétudes portant sur les
stratégies de réparation d'erreur, par exemple dans les systèmes de
dialogue ou d'autres systèmes analogues, sont également pertinentes pour
ce numéro.

Nous invitons donc les contributions portant sur tout aspect relatif au
traitement des erreurs en TAL, et en particulier (liste non exclusive):
* correction automatique de l'orthographe et de la grammaire
* erreurs sémantiques et logiques
* correction d'erreurs dans le style ou l'organisation du discours
* correction d'erreurs "artificielles" (OCR, reconnaissance vocale, etc.)
* correction automatique de requêtes à des moteurs de recherche
* acquisition, annotation et analyse d'erreurs dans les textes réels
* corpus d'erreurs
* traitement des erreurs dans les langages contrôlés *****
* erreurs en apprentissage des langues
* erreurs de performance
* normalisation d'écrits non standards
* TAL robuste
* traitement de parole disfluente
* traitement des erreurs en reconnaissance vocale
* apprendre avec des données bruitées
* mesures de la gravité des erreurs
* mesures de confiance
* fouille et analyse d'erreurs
* auto-évaluation et diagnostic d'erreurs

Campaign TRAD 2012: A machine translation evaluation campaign on
Arabic-French language pair

Machine translation (MT) enjoys a new boom driven by the
applications. The goal is to translate sentences in a source language
into a target language without human intervention. This difficult task
needs to be regularly assessed to establish the scientific and technical
progress.

Funded by the French defense procurement agency (DGA), the Laboratoire
national de métrologie et d'essais (LNE) and CASSIDIAN conducts the TRAD
2012-campaign in order to support MT research and help advance the state
of art in MT technologies for the Arabic-French language pair.

To meet this objective, the LNE provides the following to the
participants:

* Data for the training sets, the development and the test sets
  (developed by ELDA). The databases contain newspapers articles or
  broadcast news transcriptions.
* An evaluation by automatic metrics.
* An evaluation by human judgment for the 4 best systems depending on
  the results obtained with the automatic metrics.

The LNE organizes a workshop at the end of the campaign to present the
results and compare the approaches of the various participants.

Tasks

The language pair in TRAD 2012 is Arabic to French. Two tasks are
offered because of the sources of the elements to be translated.

* Text Task: Translation of newspapers articles that come from various
  newspapers.
* Speech Task: Translation of broadcast news transcriptions that come
  from various radio and television programs.

How to participate?

Participation in the evaluation is invited for all researchers who want
assess their system for the Arabic-French language pair..

The only requirement is the participation in the follow-up workshop. All
the participants are invited to present their system(s) and their
results in detail during this workshop.

To participate, simply fill out the registration form available at
www.trad-campaign.org. The participants can sign up for both tasks or
for only one of two.

Bonjour,

Vous trouverez ci-dessous une offre pour un stage en développement Web
dans notre laboratoire, le SeDyL-CNRS à Villejuif.

L'offre est aussi disponible à l'adresse suivante :
* Description courte :

* description complète :
http://www.annegf.fr/pdf/28/Stage2012_DeveloppementWeb_long.pdf

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

                 Stage Développement web au CNRS/SEDYL
                  (Structure et Dynamique des Langues)

En appui pour l’un de nos projets de recherche (CNRS, ANR -
http://clapoty.vjf.cnrs.fr), nous proposons un stage de 4 à 6 mois en
informatique.

Spécialité recherchée
Programmation web, bases de données.

Profil du candidat
Étudiant en 2me année d’école d’ingénieur ayant des compétences fortes
en conception / programmation / intégration web.

Objectifs du travail
Mise en place et ajout de fonctionnalités dans des scripts php
permettant d’interagir d’une part avec une base de données (affichage,
création, modification d’enregistrements), d’autre part avec des
documents xml.

Techniques utilisées

Le site web est implanté sur un serveur fonctionnant avec le système
GNU/Linux Debian, et utilise le serveur HTTP Apache. Les scripts qui
engendrent dynamiquement les pages web sont écrits en PHP. Le format des
pages créées est HTML 4 + CSS 2 et comporte des éléments de JavaScript.
La base de données sous-jacente est gérée par le SGBD MySQL. Certaines
des données sont des liens URL vers des documents XML.

Les scripts PHP utilisent l’extension mysqli pour interagir avec la base
de données et l’extension DOM pour manipuler dynamiquement les documents
XML (segmenter, modifier, extraire de l’information).

Les documents XML, qui comportent des textes multilingues, sont encodés
en Unicode (UTF-8), et la conception du schéma de documents XSD
s’inspire de normes déjà existantes pour la représentation structurée
des textes (TEI).

L’affichage des documents XML en ligne sur le site web est réalisé par
l’utilisation du langage XSLT/XPath.

Compétences recherchées
Compétences techniques requises
Apache, PHP, SQL, XML, Unicode, XSLT, XPath, HTML, Javascript.
Autres compétences
Autonomie, rigeur et capacité à rédiger du code de qualité (code propre
et réutilisable ; sécurité ; gestion des erreurs).

Cadre du stage
Le projet s’inscrit dans une démarche de recherche en linguistique (en
particulier de l’étude d’échanges multilingues dans lesquels les
locuteurs utilisent plusieurs langues à la fois) ; Ce projet consiste à
rassembler des textes, à permettre à des spécialistes (linguistes et
sociolinguistes) de les annoter, puis à leur fournir des outils
informatiques pour les étudier et mieux les analyser.

Le stagiaire sera encadré et accompagné dans son travail par un
enseignant-chercheur en informatique et n’a donc pas besoin de
compétences particulières dans le domaine de la linguistique.
Cependant, une curiosité intellectuelle dans le domaine des langues et
pour la recherche est un atout bienvenu.

Nous attendons du stagiaire une grande rigeur dans son travail.

Le stage se déroulera au Campus CNRS de Villejuif (métro ligne 7). Les
dates de début et fin du stage seront fixées en accord avec le stagiaire
en correspondront à une période de 4 à 6 mois.

Le stagiaire bénéficiera d’une gratification de stage indexé sur les
grilles du CNRS (soit environ 400e/mois).

L'équipe du Traitement Automatique du Langage Naturel (TALN) du
Laboratoire Informatique de Nantes Atlantique (LINA UMR CNRS 6241) à
l'Université de Nantes propose une thèse de doctorat financée sur un
projet ANR dans les domaines du Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL)
et de la Recherche d'Information (RI).

Titre : Indexation automatique en domaine de spécialité

L'indexation est au coeur du processus de mise en valeur de
l'information. Pour réaliser cette indexation, l'humain reste la
meilleure ressource grâce à son expertise, son acuité cognitive, sa
subjectivité, mais il se caractérise aussi par sa variabilité et ses
incohérences. Pour aider l'humain ou se substituer à lui, différentes
méthodes statistiques, algébriques, linguistiques d'indexation
automatique ont été mises au point depuis les années 1950. L'objectif de
cette thèse est de proposer une contribution originale à l'indexation
automatique en domaines spécialisés relevant du domaine des sciences
humaines et sociales (SHS). Les problèmes de la désambiguïsation
contextuelle non supervisée et de l'indexation silencieuse seront plus
particulièrement abordés.

Mots clés : Traitement Automatique des Langues, fouille de textes,
indexation automatique, catégorisation, sciences humaines et sociales

Profil recherché : Master informatique (ou équivalent) avec spécialité
en traitement automatique des langues et/ou intelligence artificielle.
Français courant.

Candidature : Envoyer un CV et une lettre de motivation à
   - Béatrice Daille (beatrice.daille at univ-nantes.fr) et
   - Florian Boudin (florian.boudin at univ-nantes.fr)

Funded PhD position, LINA, Université de Nantes, France

The Department of Computer Science (LINA) of the Université de Nantes,
France, is looking for a PhD student to work in the area of automatic
indexing. The LINA has performed research in many fields of Natural
Language Processing (NLP) and Information Retrieval (IR) for more than
20 years.

Title: Automatic indexing of specialized documents

Document indexing is at the heart of the process to promote
information. To perform indexing, humans are still superior to current
methods but they also are inconsistent in assigning index terms to
documents. Several statistical and linguistic automatic indexing methods
were proposed to tackle this issue. The main objective of this phd
thesis is to study automatic indexing in the social science domain. More
specifically, Unsupervised contextual disambiguation and Automatic
indexing using text categorization will be studied.

Keywords : Natural Language Processing, text mining, automatic indexing,
text categorization, social science

Candidate profile : The successful candidate will have a Master's degree
(or equivalent qualification) in Computer Science with a good background
in Computational Linguistics or Artificial intelligence by the time of
appointment. French fluency is mandatory.

Please send a CV and a cover letter to
  - Béatrice Daille (beatrice.daille at univ-nantes.fr) and
  - Florian Boudin (florian.boudin at univ-nantes.fr).

Data Mining

Gold Coast, Australia

The 17th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
(PAKDD 2013) is a leading international conference in the areas of data
mining and knowledge discovery. It provides an international forum for
researchers and industry practitioners to share their new ideas,
original research results and practical development experiences from all
KDD related areas, including data mining, data warehousing, machine
learning, databases, statistics, knowledge acquisition and automatic
scientific discovery, data visualization, causal induction and
knowledge-based systems.

PAKDD 2013 seeks proposals for workshops on foundational and emerging
topics in areas relevant to data mining. The PAKDD workshops provide an
informal and vibrant opportunity for researchers and industry
practitioners to share their research positions, original research
results and practical development experiences on specific challenges and
emerging issues. The workshop topics should be focused and cohesive so
that the participants can benefit from interaction with each other.

The organizers and chairs of the workshop shall have full control on the
call for papers, forming of program committees, review and selection of
papers as well as planning the workshop program. HOWEVER, the program
committee chairs are not allowed to submit papers to the workshops to
ensure a fair review process. IN ADDITION, the chairs must state in the
workshop CFP the following: "Submitting a paper to the workshop means
that if the paper is accepted, at least one author should attend the
workshop to present the paper." The registration fees for workshops will
be determined by the conference (not the workshop itself). The fees will
be paid to the conference, and the conference will provide workshop
facilities including working notes printing, meeting room, coffee break,
lunch, proceedings, etc.

Each workshop will have a right to include its outstanding papers in a
LNCS/LNAI post Proceedings of PAKDD Workshops published by
Springer. Under the program, the workshop chair must organize a review
committee to select the outstanding papers from the papers presented in
the workshop. Based on the reviews, each selected paper should be
further improved for the camera ready version. The average acceptance
rate of this selection process should be no higher than 50%. A detailed
schedule of due dates for the paper selection and the collection of the
camera ready versions will be announced immediately after the workshop.

Workshop Description:

Phonotactic grammar organizes the distribution of phonemes and
supra-segmental entities in word-sized strings. It is based on
categorical rules and probabilistic constraints in the distribution of
segments; phonotactic rules and constraints have been shown to be
sensitive to several properties of the language, referring not only to
phonetic-phonological principles but also to the morphological structure
of words or their frequency of use.

Many psycho-computational models of phonotactic learning have been
proposed to account for the development of phonotactic knowledge in the
mind of the speaker; they basically induce phonotactic regularities
either from segmental properties (such as features and their natural
classes), or lexical distributions (such as the information related to
the lexical neighborhood of a word), or even a principled balance of
both segmental and lexical properties.

This workshop is focused on experimental approaches to phonotactics and
phonotactic learning and aims at providing an informal atmosphere for
discussion on psychologically and computationally sound models of
phonotactic learning and lexical and sub-lexical processing.

POSTDOCTORAL/ENGINEERING POSITION at INRIA Rennes, France

Topic: Text-mining and information extraction in multimedia documents

Information extraction and text-mining are well known domains of Natural
Language Processing. Yet, dealing with low-quality texts, like automatic
speech transcription or OCRized overlays, raises new challenges in terms
of portability and robustness.

In that context, the proposed project aims at developing new text-mining
and information extraction approaches to overcome these
difficulties. The goal is to rely on simple but robust description of
the text and new machine learning techniques and paradigms (CRF,
boosting, semi-supervised approaches...).

The typical tasks concerned are term and named entity recognition and
discovery, (ontological or semantic) relation recognition and
discovery...

The candidate is expected to implement these new approaches, participate
to evaluation and challenges in this field, both for well-formed texts
and degraded texts (such as speech transcripts), and may also help in
developing new evaluation datasets.

This work takes place in the context of the Quaero project, funded by
the French National Innovation Agency (www.quaero.org).
The work will be performed at IRISA/INRIA Rennes, France
(http://www.irisa.fr/http://www.inria.fr/centre/rennes/). The candidate
will integrate the TexMex team, whose main research topics include
large-scale multimedia indexing, speech processing, information
retrieval.

QUALIFICATIONS AND POSITION

The successful candidate will have a engineering degree or PhD with a
track record of Information Extraction, Text-Mining or Machine Learning
for Natural Language Processing research.

Fluency in English is mandatory.

This position is for 12 months and may begin as early as Nov 1st, 2012,
and no later than mid-December. Salary follows INRIA scales and depends
on the candidate's experience (the minimum monthly net salary is about
1900 ?).

To apply, please send a cover letter, describing how the applicant's
knowledge and research background will contribute to the project, a CV,
and the names and contact information of two referees to:

 Title: "Grammars as Mechanisms for Real-Time Tree-Growth: Explaining
         Clitic Pronouns"

 Abstract: In this talk, we argue for a shift of perspective into
defining grammars as mechanisms for incremental growth of interpretation
reflecting the time-line of processing (Dynamic Syntax: Kempson et
al. 2001, Cann et al. 2005, Chatzikyriakidis & Kempson 2011). The core
syntactic notion of this framework is that of monotonic context-relative
tree growth (following Blackburn & Meyer-Viol 1994), with both content
and structural parameters of underspecification and update. Our case
study is the puzzle of clitic pronoun clusters of Modern Greek dialects,
which illustrate both the low level morphological idiosyncracy of such
clusterings, and yet the broad cross-linguistic constraints to which
they are subject: these dialects display variants of the so-called
Person Case Constraint, a constraint whose generality continues to
provide a major challenge for current theoretical frameworks (Adger &
Harbour 2007, Heap 2005, among others). We show first how the limits on
variation displayed in such clusters are explicable in terms of a
constraint debarring more than one underspecified tree relation of a
type at a time, a constraint only expressible in a dynamical grammar
framework; and we give an analysis of Greek dialectal variation in these
terms. Then we explore the consequences of this theoretical perspective,
viz. the domain-generality of the system of growth underpinning
natural-language syntax; and we will suggest that metrical ambiguities
and metrical dissonance displayed in music (Vazan & Schober 2004, London
2012) are subject to the same restriction on real-time structural
processing.

Workshop on Language Technology for Decision Support
October 25, 2012
Lund, Sweden

http://www.clul.ul.pt/component/content/article/448-sltc-2012

The workshop is organized as a part of SLTC, the Fourth Swedish Language
Technology Conference, which takes place on 24-26 October 2012 in
Lund,Sweden.  The workshop is held on October 25, 2012. Details about
the conference: http://nlp.cs.lth.se/events/sltc_2012/

This workshop will investigate the relation and complementarity between
factual and opinionated information for decision-making. Traditionally,
natural language processing approaches and tools have segregated the
objective and subjective treatments of information in two separate
fields of expertise where the two never met. This workshop is an attempt
to fill this gap and examine the relation and complementarity that
exists between the factual and the speculative in order to build a more
subtle representation of the state of affairs.

In their everyday routine, managers, professionals, even laymen, must
deal with a large amount of textual information to help make their
decisions.  Without appropriate language technology tools to extract,
classify and synthesize this information, decision-makers would have to
read a large number of so-called objective sources but arguably even
more subjective and opinionated material. Facts and opinions would then
be combined together to create an accurate picture of the entity or
issue we seek to understand. Facts are of course crucial to make
professional or personal decisions, but opinions may sometimes play a
key role. For this workshop we have identified two specific domains
where factual and subjective information have an importance: brand
management and health (patient empowerment and education), with an eye
towards clinical decision. However, any relevant domains where the
factual and the opinionated co-exist would be considered.

We encourage submissions addressing the following questions:

* Relevance of the extracted information (certainty, speculation and
  subjectivity) in a decision making context

* How to combine objective and subjective information in NLP-based
  decision making to produce a better understanding

* Exploitation of the objective and subjective information:

* How do managers combine the factual and the less tangible to favour
  the success of their brand?

* How does the patient understand a medical decision given objective
  information by the physician and subjective information related to
  his/her feelings, as well as discussions with other patients?

* How does a physician combine what the data show about a patient with
  more subjective information like symptoms or informed opinion from a
  third party?

We would like to invite anyone currently researching in the areas of
sentiment analysis, information extraction, text mining, BioNLP or
automatic summarization to submit apaper, including submissions
presenting a discussion of a system.

Important dates

* September 10th: paper submission by email to genereux at clul.ul.pt
* October 1st: notification of acceptance
* October 15th: camera-ready papers for publication

Vous ?tes chaleureusement convi?s ? assister ? la soutenance, ainsi qu'? 
participer au pot qui suivra.


---R?sum? du m?moire ---

Ce m?moire d'habilitation est l'occasion de faire le bilan de mon
activit? d'enseignant-chercheur en traitement automatique des langues
(TAL) dans un laboratoire de linguistique (CLLE-ERSS) et des principales
?volutions de l'outillage informatique de la linguistique au cours des
15 derni?res ann?es.

Mes recherches portent notamment sur le rep?rage de structures
morphosyntaxiques dans les textes, l'analyse des structures du discours
et l'acquisition de ressources lexicales ? partir de corpus. Certaines
se positionnent dans des cadres applicatifs comme la recherche
d'information et la classification de textes, mais aussi dans des
contextes plus sp?cifiques en lien avec d'autres disciplines (m?decine,
psychologie, sociologie...).

En m'appuyant sur la diversit? de ces travaux et de mes collaborations,
j'identifie quatre dimensions d'?volution principales :

- l'augmentation de la masse de donn?es langagi?res disponibles et
  notamment la part croissante de l'utilisation du Web comme corpus ;

- la complexification de l'outillage informatique disponible pour g?rer
  la masse et la vari?t? des donn?es accessibles (outils de constitution
  et d'interrogation de corpus) ;

- la complexification de l'annotation des donn?es langagi?res, qu'elle
  soit manuelle, assist?e ou automatique ;

- la mont?e en puissance, en TAL mais aussi en linguistique descriptive,
  des m?thodes quantitatives (depuis l'analyse statistique jusqu'aux
  techniques de fouille de donn?es et d'apprentissage).

Si les avanc?es techniques du TAL ont permis d'accro?tre de fa?on
cons?quente les potentialit?s d'investigation du mat?riau langagier, et
dans certains cas de d?gager de nouveaux questionnements, elles ont
aussi contribu? ? creuser un foss? entre les deux composantes
(informatique et linguistique) de la discipline.

A travers ma propre exp?rience d'acteur ou d'accompagnateur de ces
changements et avec une vocation de "passeur" interdisciplinaire, je
cherche ? d?gager les principaux enjeux actuels pour la linguistique
outill?e :

- doter la linguistique descriptive d'outils de visualisation de donn?es
  pour aborder la complexit?, en exploitant les avanc?es th?oriques et
  techniques de ce nouveau champ disciplinaire et en les adaptant aux
  sp?cificit?s du mat?riau langagier ;

- rendre abordables aux linguistes les techniques fondamentales de
  l'analyse statistique, mais aussi les m?thodes d'apprentissage
  artificiel seules capables d'assister l'investigation et
  l'exploitation de donn?es massives et complexes ;

- replacer la linguistique au sein des d?veloppements actuels du TAL,
  notamment par le biais de l'utilisation de descripteurs linguistiques
  riches dans les outils de traitement par apprentissage, pour un
  b?n?fice mutuel.

***SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS***

*Second Workshop on Applying Machine Learning Techniques to Optimise the
Division of Labour in Hybrid MT (ML4HMT-12 WS and Shared Task) at COLING
2012*

Mumbai (India), 9th December, 2012
URL: http://www.dfki.de/ml4hmt/

The workshop and associated shared task are an effort to trigger a
systematic investigation on improving state-of-the-art hybrid machine
translation, making use of advanced machine-learning (ML)
methodologies. It follows the ML4HMT-11 workshop which took place last
November in Barcelona.  The first workshop also road-tested a shared
task (and associated data set) and laid the basis for a broader reach in
2012.

*Regular Papers ML4HMT-12*

We are soliciting original papers on hybrid MT, including (but not
limited to):

* use of machine learning methods in hybrid MT;
* system combination: parallel in multi-engine MT (MEMT) or sequential
  in statistical post-editing (SPMT);
* combining phrases and translation units from different types of MT;
* syntactic pre-/re-ordering;
* using richer linguistic information in phrase-based or in hierarchical
  SMT;
* learning resources (e.g., transfer rules, transduction grammars) for
  probabilistic rule-based MT.

Full papers should be anonymous and follow the COLING full paper format
( http://www.coling2012-iitb.org/call_for_papers.php). To submit
contributions, please follow the instructions at the Workshop management
system submission website:
https://www.softconf.com/coling2012/ML4HMT12/.  The contributions will
undergo a double-blind review by members of the programme committee.

*Shared Task ML4HMT-12*

The main focus of the Shared Task is to address the question: ?Can
Hybrid MT and System Combination techniques benefit from extra
information (linguistically motivated, decoding, runtime, confidence
scores, or other meta-data) from the systems involved??  Participants
are invited to build hybrid MT systems and/or system combinations by
using the output of several MT systems of different types, as provided
by the organisers.
While participants are encouraged to use machine learning techniques to
explore the additional meta-data information sources, other general
improvements in hybrid and combination based MT are welcome to
participate in the challenge.
For systems that exploit additional meta-data information the challenge
is that additional meta-data is highly heterogeneous and (individual)
system specific.

Data: The ML4HMT-12 Shared Task involves (ES-EN) and (ZH-EN) data sets,
in each case translating into EN.

* (ES-EN): Participants are given a development bilingual set aligned at
a sentence level. Each "bilingual sentence" contains: 1) the source
sentence, 2) the target (reference) sentence and 3) the corresponding
multiple output translations from five systems, based on different MT
approaches (Apertium, Ramirez-Sanchez, 2006; Lucy, Alonso and Thurmair,
2003; Moses, Koehn et.  al., 2007). The output has been annotated with
system-internal meta-data information derived from the translation
process of each of the systems.

* (ZH-EN) A corresponding data set for ZH-EN with output translations
from three systems (Moses, Joshua and Huajian RBMT) will be provided.

Participants are challenged to build an MT mechanism where possible
making effective use of the system-specific MT meta-data output. They
can provide solutions based on opensource systems, or develop their own
mechanisms. The development set can be used for tuning the systems
during the development phase. Final submissions have to include
translation output on a test set, which will be made available one week
after training data release. Data will be provided to build
language/reordering models, possibly re-using existing resources from MT
research.

Participants can also make use of additional (linguistic analysis,
confidence estimation etc.) tools, if their systems require so, but they
have to explicitly declare this upon submission, so that they are judged
as "unconstrained" systems. This will allow for a better comparison
between participating systems.

System output will be judged via peer-based human evaluation as well as
automatic evaluation. During the evaluation phase, participants will be
requested to rank system outputs of other participants through a
web-based interface (Appraise, Federmann 2010). Automatic metrics
include BLEU (Papineni et. Al, 2002), TER (Snover et al., 2006) and
METEOR (Lavie, 2005).

Shared task participants will be invited to submit system description
papers (7 pages, not blind and should follow COLING format,

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

                     1st Call for Papers of COGALEX

           3rd Workshop on "Cognitive Aspects of the Lexicon"

                post-conference workshop of COLING 2012
                      (December 15, Mumbai, India)

                 Submission deadline: October 15, 2012

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

AIMS and TARGET AUDIENCE

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

MOTIVATION

The way we look at dictionaries, their creation and use, has changed
dramatically over the past 30 years. (1?) While being considered as an
appendix to grammar in the past, they have in the meantime moved to
centre stage.  Indeed, there is hardly any task in NLP which can be
conducted without them.  (2?) Also, many lexicographers work nowadays
with huge digital corpora, using language technology to build and to
maintain the lexicon. (3?) Last, but not least, rather than being static
entities (data-base view), dictionaries are now viewed as graphs, whose
nodes and links (connection strengths) may change over
time. Interestingly, properties concerning topology, clustering and
evolution known from other disciplines (society, economy, human brain)
also apply to dictionaries: everything is linked, hence accessible, and
everything is evolving. Given these similarities, one may wonder what we
can learn from these disciplines.

In this 3rd edition of the CogALex workshop we therefore intend to also
invite scientists working in these fields, our goals being to broaden
the picture, i.e. to gain a better understanding concerning the mental
lexicon and to integrate these findings into our dictionaries in order
to support navigation.  Given recent advances in neurosciences, it
appears timely to seek inspiration from neuroscientists studying the
human brain. There is also a lot to be learned from other fields
studying graphs and networks, even if their object of study is something
else than language, for example biology, economy or society.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

This workshop is about possible enhancements of existing electronic
dictionaries. To perform the groundwork for the next generation of
electronic dictionaries we invite researchers involved in the building
of such dictionaries. The idea is to discuss modifications of existing
resources by taking the users' needs and knowledge states into account,
and to capitalize on the advantages of the digital media. For this
workshop we invite papers including but not limited to the following
topics which can be considered from various points of view: linguistics,
neuro- or psycholinguistics (associations, tip-of-the-tongue problem),
network-related sciences (complex graphs, network topology, small-world
problem), etc.

1) Analysis of the conceptual input of a dictionary user

- What does a language producer start from (bag of words)?
- What is in the authors' minds when they are generating a message and
  looking for a word?
- What does it take to bridge the gap between this input and the desired
  output (target word)?

2) The meaning of words

- Lexical representation (holistic, decomposed)
- Meaning representation (concept based, primitives)
- Revelation of hidden information (vector-based approaches: LSA/HAL)
- Neural models, neurosemantics, neurocomputational theories of content
  representation.

3) Structure of the lexicon

- Discovering structures in the lexicon: formal and semantic point of
  view (clustering, topical structure)
- Creative ways of getting access to and using word associations
- Evolution, i.e. dynamic aspects of the lexicon (changes of weights)
- Neural models of the mental lexicon (distribution of information
  concerning words, organisation of the mental lexicon)

4) Methods for crafting dictionaries or indexes

- Manual, automatic or collaborative building of dictionaries and
  indexes (distributional semantics, crowd-sourcing, serious games,
  etc.)
- Impact and use of social networks (Facebook, Twitter) for building
  dictionaries, for organizing and indexing the data (clustering of
  words), and for allowing to track navigational strategies, etc.
- (Semi-) automatic induction of the link type (e.g. synonym, hypernym,
  meronym, association, collocation, ...)
- Use of corpora and patterns (data-mining) for getting access to words,
  their uses, and combinations (associations)

5) Dictionary access (navigation and search strategies), interface issues

- Semantic-based search
- Search (simple query vs multiple words)
- Context-dependent search (modification of users? goals during search)
- Recovery
- Navigation (frequent navigational patterns or search strategies used
  by people)
- Interface problems, data-visualisation

IMPORTANT DATES

- Deadline for paper submissions: October 15, 2012
- Notification of acceptance: November 5, 2012
- Camera-ready papers due: November 15, 2012
- Workshop date: December 15, 2012

SECOND APPEL ? CONTRIBUTIONS

DU BRUIT DANS LE SIGNAL : GESTION DES ERREURS EN TRAITEMENT AUTOMATIQUE
DES LANGUES

UN NUM?RO SP?CIAL DE LA REVUE 'TRAITEMENT AUTOMATIQUE DES LANGUES' (TAL)

La langue que les applications de traitement automatique des langues ont
? traiter ressemble assez peu aux exemples parfaitement grammaticaux que
l'on rencontre dans les livres de grammaire. Dans l'usage quotidien, les
?nonc?s ? traiter se pr?sentent sous une forme imparfaite : les textes
dactylographi?s contiennent des erreurs de saisie, ainsi que de fautes
d'orthographe et de grammaire ; les ?nonc?s oraux correspondent souvent
? des phrases incompl?tes et contiennent des disfluences; les sorties
des syst?mes d'OCR contiennent de multiples confusion entre caract?res,
et celles des syst?mes de reconnaissance vocale contiennent des
transcriptions inexactes de ce qui a r?ellement ?t? prononc?.

Le bruit est donc inh?rent au donn?es langagi?res et ignorer cette
r?alit? ne peut que nuire ? la qualit? de nos syst?mes de
traitement. Pour certaines applications, l'enjeu est de d?velopper des
m?canismes robustes vis-?-vis de ces erreurs. Par exemple, un syst?me de
dialogue pourra utiliser des mesures de confiance portant sur les
hypoth?ses de reconnaissance vocale pour d?cider s'il doit demander ?
l'utilisateur de r?p?ter. Pour d'autres applications, il sera n?cessaire
de faire appel ? des techniques de correction automatique des erreurs;
ainsi, par exemple, un syst?me d'OCR pourra post-traiter les textes avec
des mod?les de correction contextuels pour valider l'orthographe des
mots.

Ce num?ro sp?cial vise ? rassembler des contributions portant sur la
gestion des erreurs en traitement des langues. De nombreux sous-domaines
du TAL ont besoin de prendre en compte le bruit et les erreurs dans les
signaux linguistiques qu'ils consid?rent, mais il est rare que des
chercheurs issus de ces diverses communaut?s aient l'occasion de
comparer leurs m?thodes et leurs r?sultats. Notre ambition est de mettre
en perspective des travaux issus de ces diff?rents domaines de mani?re ?
encourager la fertilisation crois?e des id?es.

Pour ce num?ro sp?cial, nous consid?rons donc comme pertinent tout
travail touchant au traitement automatique de donn?es bruit?es. Les
sous-domaines les plus d?velopp?s sont probablement la correction
orthographique, et, dans une moindre mesure, la correction grammaticale;
aucun de ces probl?mes n'est pourtant compl?tement r?solu, et la
situation est encore moins satisfaisante quand on consid?re des erreurs
plus profondes, touchant par exemple au style ou ? l'organisation du
discours. Les traitements robustes, qui visent ? extraire le maximum
d'informations utiles d'entr?es potentiellement erron?es, seront aussi
favorablement consid?r?s, que ces entr?es se pr?sentent sous forme
?crite ou orale ; plus g?n?ralement, les?tudes portant sur les
strat?gies de r?paration d'erreur, par exemple dans les syst?mes de
dialogue ou d'autres syst?mes analogues, sont ?galement pertinentes pour
ce num?ro.

Nous invitons donc les contributions portant sur tout aspect relatif au
traitement des erreurs en TAL, et en particulier (liste non exclusive):
* correction automatique de l'orthographe et de la grammaire
* erreurs s?mantiques et logiques
* correction d'erreurs dans le style ou l'organisation du discours
* correction d'erreurs "artificielles" (OCR, reconnaissance vocale, etc.)
* correction automatique de requ?tes ? des moteurs de recherche
* acquisition, annotation et analyse d'erreurs dans les textes r?els
* corpus d'erreurs
* traitement des erreurs dans les langages contr?l?s *****
* erreurs en apprentissage des langues
* erreurs de performance
* normalisation d'?crits non standards
* TAL robuste
* traitement de parole disfluente
* traitement des erreurs en reconnaissance vocale
* apprendre avec des donn?es bruit?es
* mesures de la gravit? des erreurs
* mesures de confiance
* fouille et analyse d'erreurs
* auto-?valuation et diagnostic d'erreurs

Campaign TRAD 2012: A machine translation evaluation campaign on
Arabic-French language pair

Machine translation (MT) enjoys a new boom driven by the
applications. The goal is to translate sentences in a source language
into a target language without human intervention. This difficult task
needs to be regularly assessed to establish the scientific and technical
progress.

Funded by the French defense procurement agency (DGA), the Laboratoire
national de m?trologie et d'essais (LNE) and CASSIDIAN conducts the TRAD
2012-campaign in order to support MT research and help advance the state
of art in MT technologies for the Arabic-French language pair.

To meet this objective, the LNE provides the following to the
participants:

* Data for the training sets, the development and the test sets
  (developed by ELDA). The databases contain newspapers articles or
  broadcast news transcriptions.
* An evaluation by automatic metrics.
* An evaluation by human judgment for the 4 best systems depending on
  the results obtained with the automatic metrics.

The LNE organizes a workshop at the end of the campaign to present the
results and compare the approaches of the various participants.

Tasks

The language pair in TRAD 2012 is Arabic to French. Two tasks are
offered because of the sources of the elements to be translated.

* Text Task: Translation of newspapers articles that come from various
  newspapers.
* Speech Task: Translation of broadcast news transcriptions that come
  from various radio and television programs.

How to participate?

Participation in the evaluation is invited for all researchers who want
assess their system for the Arabic-French language pair..

The only requirement is the participation in the follow-up workshop. All
the participants are invited to present their system(s) and their
results in detail during this workshop.

To participate, simply fill out the registration form available at
www.trad-campaign.org. The participants can sign up for both tasks or
for only one of two.

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

                 Stage D?veloppement web au CNRS/SEDYL
                  (Structure et Dynamique des Langues)

En appui pour l?un de nos projets de recherche (CNRS, ANR -
http://clapoty.vjf.cnrs.fr), nous proposons un stage de 4 ? 6 mois en
informatique.

Sp?cialit? recherch?e
Programmation web, bases de donn?es.

Profil du candidat
?tudiant en 2me ann?e d??cole d?ing?nieur ayant des comp?tences fortes
en conception / programmation / int?gration web.

Objectifs du travail
Mise en place et ajout de fonctionnalit?s dans des scripts php
permettant d?interagir d?une part avec une base de donn?es (affichage,
cr?ation, modification d?enregistrements), d?autre part avec des
documents xml.

Techniques utilis?es

Le site web est implant? sur un serveur fonctionnant avec le syst?me
GNU/Linux Debian, et utilise le serveur HTTP Apache. Les scripts qui
engendrent dynamiquement les pages web sont ?crits en PHP. Le format des
pages cr??es est HTML 4 + CSS 2 et comporte des ?l?ments de JavaScript.
La base de donn?es sous-jacente est g?r?e par le SGBD MySQL. Certaines
des donn?es sont des liens URL vers des documents XML.

Les scripts PHP utilisent l?extension mysqli pour interagir avec la base
de donn?es et l?extension DOM pour manipuler dynamiquement les documents
XML (segmenter, modifier, extraire de l?information).

Les documents XML, qui comportent des textes multilingues, sont encod?s
en Unicode (UTF-8), et la conception du sch?ma de documents XSD
s?inspire de normes d?j? existantes pour la repr?sentation structur?e
des textes (TEI).

L?affichage des documents XML en ligne sur le site web est r?alis? par
l?utilisation du langage XSLT/XPath.

Comp?tences recherch?es
Comp?tences techniques requises
Apache, PHP, SQL, XML, Unicode, XSLT, XPath, HTML, Javascript.
Autres comp?tences
Autonomie, rigeur et capacit? ? r?diger du code de qualit? (code propre
et r?utilisable ; s?curit? ; gestion des erreurs).

Cadre du stage
Le projet s?inscrit dans une d?marche de recherche en linguistique (en
particulier de l??tude d??changes multilingues dans lesquels les
locuteurs utilisent plusieurs langues ? la fois) ; Ce projet consiste ?
rassembler des textes, ? permettre ? des sp?cialistes (linguistes et
sociolinguistes) de les annoter, puis ? leur fournir des outils
informatiques pour les ?tudier et mieux les analyser.

Le stagiaire sera encadr? et accompagn? dans son travail par un
enseignant-chercheur en informatique et n?a donc pas besoin de
comp?tences particuli?res dans le domaine de la linguistique.
Cependant, une curiosit? intellectuelle dans le domaine des langues et
pour la recherche est un atout bienvenu.

Nous attendons du stagiaire une grande rigeur dans son travail.

Le stage se d?roulera au Campus CNRS de Villejuif (m?tro ligne 7). Les
dates de d?but et fin du stage seront fix?es en accord avec le stagiaire
en correspondront ? une p?riode de 4 ? 6 mois.

Le stagiaire b?n?ficiera d?une gratification de stage index? sur les
grilles du CNRS (soit environ 400e/mois).

R?pondre ? l?offre

Les personnes int?ress?es doivent envoyer leur CV + lettre de motivation
d?s ? pr?sent aux personnes suivantes :

Anne Garcia-Fernandez : annegf at vjf.cnrs.fr

l'Universit? de Nantes propose une th?se de doctorat financ?e sur un
projet ANR dans les domaines du Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL)
et de la Recherche d'Information (RI).

Titre : Indexation automatique en domaine de sp?cialit?

L'indexation est au coeur du processus de mise en valeur de
l'information. Pour r?aliser cette indexation, l'humain reste la
meilleure ressource gr?ce ? son expertise, son acuit? cognitive, sa
subjectivit?, mais il se caract?rise aussi par sa variabilit? et ses
incoh?rences. Pour aider l'humain ou se substituer ? lui, diff?rentes
m?thodes statistiques, alg?briques, linguistiques d'indexation
automatique ont ?t? mises au point depuis les ann?es 1950. L'objectif de
cette th?se est de proposer une contribution originale ? l'indexation
automatique en domaines sp?cialis?s relevant du domaine des sciences
humaines et sociales (SHS). Les probl?mes de la d?sambigu?sation
contextuelle non supervis?e et de l'indexation silencieuse seront plus
particuli?rement abord?s.

Mots cl?s : Traitement Automatique des Langues, fouille de textes,
indexation automatique, cat?gorisation, sciences humaines et sociales

Profil recherch? : Master informatique (ou ?quivalent) avec sp?cialit?
en traitement automatique des langues et/ou intelligence artificielle.
Fran?ais courant.

Funded PhD position, LINA, Universit? de Nantes, France

The Department of Computer Science (LINA) of the Universit? de Nantes,
France, is looking for a PhD student to work in the area of automatic
indexing. The LINA has performed research in many fields of Natural
Language Processing (NLP) and Information Retrieval (IR) for more than
20 years.

Title: Automatic indexing of specialized documents

Document indexing is at the heart of the process to promote
information. To perform indexing, humans are still superior to current
methods but they also are inconsistent in assigning index terms to
documents. Several statistical and linguistic automatic indexing methods
were proposed to tackle this issue. The main objective of this phd
thesis is to study automatic indexing in the social science domain. More
specifically, Unsupervised contextual disambiguation and Automatic
indexing using text categorization will be studied.

Keywords : Natural Language Processing, text mining, automatic indexing,
text categorization, social science

Candidate profile : The successful candidate will have a Master's degree
(or equivalent qualification) in Computer Science with a good background
in Computational Linguistics or Artificial intelligence by the time of
appointment. French fluency is mandatory.

Please send a CV and a cover letter to
  - B?atrice Daille (beatrice.daille at univ-nantes.fr) and
  - Florian Boudin (florian.boudin at univ-nantes.fr).

Call for Workshop Proposals

PAKDD2013: The 17th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and
Data Mining

Gold Coast, Australia

The 17th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
(PAKDD 2013) is a leading international conference in the areas of data
mining and knowledge discovery. It provides an international forum for
researchers and industry practitioners to share their new ideas,
original research results and practical development experiences from all
KDD related areas, including data mining, data warehousing, machine
learning, databases, statistics, knowledge acquisition and automatic
scientific discovery, data visualization, causal induction and
knowledge-based systems.

PAKDD 2013 seeks proposals for workshops on foundational and emerging
topics in areas relevant to data mining. The PAKDD workshops provide an
informal and vibrant opportunity for researchers and industry
practitioners to share their research positions, original research
results and practical development experiences on specific challenges and
emerging issues. The workshop topics should be focused and cohesive so
that the participants can benefit from interaction with each other.

A possible (non-exhaustive) list of topics include:

? Foundational topics in data mining

? Data mining and biology

? Data mining and climate change

? Data mining and finance

? Data mining in social networks

? Data mining and chemistry

? Data mining for healthcare

? Data mining for environmental sciences

? Data mining on cloud computing

? Data mining on specialized data types: structured, unstructured,
  semi-structured, streaming, spatio-temporal, text and noisy text,
  multimedia, etc.

? Real life applications and success stories

The organizers and chairs of the workshop shall have full control on the
call for papers, forming of program committees, review and selection of
papers as well as planning the workshop program. HOWEVER, the program
committee chairs are not allowed to submit papers to the workshops to
ensure a fair review process. IN ADDITION, the chairs must state in the
workshop CFP the following: "Submitting a paper to the workshop means
that if the paper is accepted, at least one author should attend the
workshop to present the paper." The registration fees for workshops will
be determined by the conference (not the workshop itself). The fees will
be paid to the conference, and the conference will provide workshop
facilities including working notes printing, meeting room, coffee break,
lunch, proceedings, etc.

Each workshop will have a right to include its outstanding papers in a
LNCS/LNAI post Proceedings of PAKDD Workshops published by
Springer. Under the program, the workshop chair must organize a review
committee to select the outstanding papers from the papers presented in
the workshop. Based on the reviews, each selected paper should be
further improved for the camera ready version. The average acceptance
rate of this selection process should be no higher than 50%. A detailed
schedule of due dates for the paper selection and the collection of the
camera ready versions will be announced immediately after the workshop.

Prospective workshop organizers should send a proposal (maximum three
pages) with the following sections to the PAKDD 2013 Workshop Co-Chairs.

? Title of the workshop

? Objectives, scope, and contribution to the main conference

? Names and contacts of key organizers and a tentative list of members
  of the program committee, along with links to their webpages.

? Expected number of papers, attendees, and preliminary workshop format

Dear Colleagues,

Please submit a 6-page conference-paper to Louhi2013 by 15 October.


Louhi2013<http://www.nicta.com.au/business/health/events/louhi2013> is
the 4th International Workshop on Health Document Text Mining and
Information Analysis. Inspired by CLEF2012 and linked with
CLEFeHealth2012, the focus of this fourth Louhi workshop is on

 1. syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic analysis of health documents,

 2. mono- and multilingual methods, applications, and resources for
    their automated processing and intelligent re-use,

 3. cross-language evaluation health documentation and their processing
     methods, applications, and resources, and

 4. methods, resources, and infrastructure for this cross-language
    evaluation.

The two-day workshop brings together academia, industry, healthcare
providers and policy makers interested in natural-language processing of
written and spoken health communication. The programme consists of
invited talks, scientific presentations and industry
demonstrations. Keynotes include:

 * Prof Pierre Zweigenbaum (http://www.limsi.fr/~pz/), LIMSI-CNRS and
   ERTIM-INALCO, France: medical language processing, specialised
   language of medical domain, and aspects of multilingualism

 * Prof Jon Patrick (http://healthlanguagelabs.com/HLL/About_HLL.html),
   University of Sydney, School of Information Technologies and Health
   Language Laboratories, Australia: Industrial Strength Language
   Engineering Methods - Automatic Extraction of Cancer Registry Content
   from Radiology Reports

Special issue will be published in the Artificial Intelligence in
Medicine.

NICTA organises the workshop in Sydney, NSW, Australia on 11-12 February
2013 in collaboration with the Australian Health Informatics Summer
School (Sydney, NSW, Australia; 4-8 February 2013). You may also be
interested in Techfest2013 - a free event taking place on 13 February
2013 in Canberra, the nation's capital, located only a pretty bus
trip<http://www.murrays.com.au/ExpressService.aspx> from Sydney.

Please distribute the message among your colleagues.
