Apologies for cross-posting.

Submissions are invited to the KDD13 Workshop on Issues of Sentiment
Discovery and Opinion Mining (http://sentic.net/wisdom), which aims to
explore how the wisdom of the crowds is affecting (and will affect) the
evolution of the Web and of businesses gravitating around it. In
particular, the ACM KDD workshop explores two different stages of
sentiment analysis: the former focusing on the identification of
opinionated text over the Web, the latter focusing on the classification
of such text either in terms of polarity detection or emotion
recognition.

RATIONALE
The exponential growth of the Social Web is virally infecting more and
more critical business processes such as customer support and
satisfaction, brand and reputation management, product design and
marketing. Because of this global trend, web users already evolved from
the era of social relationships, in which they began to get connected
and started to share contents, to the era of social functionality, in
which they started using social networks as the main platform for
communication and dissemination of information. Today, web users are
going through the era of social colonization, in which every experience
on the Web can be social (e.g., Facebook Like button), and are getting
ready for the era of social context, in which web contents will be
highly targeted and personalized. The final stage of such Social Web
evolution is the so called era of social commerce, in which communities
will define future products and services. In such context, the research
field of sentiment analysis, which has already been rapidly growing in
the last decade, is destined to become more and more important for Web
and business dynamics.

TOPICS
The workshop aims to provide an international forum for both researchers
and entrepreneurs working in the field of opinion mining to share
information on their latest investigations in social information
retrieval and their applications in academic research areas and
industrial sectors. The broader context of the workshop comprehends AI,
Semantic Web, information retrieval, web mining, and natural language
processing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Sentiment identification & classification
- Knowledge-based opinion mining
- Sentiment summarization & visualization
- Entity discovery & extraction
- Opinion aggregation
- Opinion search & retrieval
- Time evolving sentiment analysis
- Opinion spam detection
- Comparative opinion analysis
- Topic detection & trend discovery
- Psychological models for sentiment analysis
- Multilingual opinion mining
- Sentic computing
- Big social data analysis
- Social ranking
- Social network analysis
- Influence, trust & privacy analysis
- Business intelligence applications

TIMEFRAME
- May 8th, 2013: Submission deadline
- June 8th, 2013: Notification of acceptance
- June 18th, 2013: Final manuscripts due
- August 12th, 2013: Workshop date

PROCEEDINGS
Accepted papers will be published in KDD WISDOM proceedings. Selected,
expanded versions of papers presented at the workshop will be invited to
a forthcoming Special Issue of Cognitive Computation on opinion mining
and sentiment analysis.

Bonjour,

AUTOVEILLE est le fruit d'une recherche universitaire concernant
initialement les problèmatiques de veille. Ne trouvant pas des outils
performants pour automatiser la veille et la collecte de données,
Véronique Duong a alors décidé de créer ses propres outils. AUTOVEILLE
est à la fois un agrégateur de flux RSS et un logiciel de veille
automatique.

Si vous souhaitez en savoir plus, d'autres outils d'automatisation sont
également proposés sur le site: http://autoveille.free.fr

Le diaporama (http://autoveille.free.fr/outil-veille-automatique.html -
http://autoveille.free.fr/travailler-domaine-veille.pdf) reprend tous
les outils de veille pouvant être utilisés par des utilisateurs non
spécialistes du domaine de la veille. Ces outils génériques permettront
déjà de faire une première collecte intéréssante des nouveautés d'un
site / d'un blog. Pour les étudiants voulant se spécialiser en veille
stratégique, n'hésitez pas à contacter Véronique Duong
(veronique-duong at laposte.net - autoveille at gmail.com).

INTRODUCTION and MOTIVATION

TIA 2013 will be the 10th in a series of successful events which, for
the most part, initially took place in the francophone world. Over a
period of almost 20 years – the first conference was held in 1995 – TIA
has increasingly attracted the attention of many researchers and
practitioners all over the world, and its work has become truly
international.
The aim of TIA 2013 is to provide an overview of the new ways in which
multilingual terminology is present in an ever-increasing networked
society, and to pay special attention both to the methods applied in the
conceptualization of domain knowledge and to the applications and tools
that will meet the requirements of e-society. In this way, terminology,
linguistics and knowledge engineering provide the basis on which many
other disciplines develop their applications such as domain ontologies,
natural language processing tools, multilingual knowledge-based tools
and web-based linguistic applications. New approaches to the
standardization and to the reuse and integration of different tools
designed to facilitate work in institutions, companies and society in
general will be welcome.

The TIA 2013 Conference aims to promote interdisciplinary research
focusing on the intersection of different disciplines that deal with
terminological aspects and knowledge engineering resources. Papers may
address both theoretical questions and methodological aspects on these
issues, as well as interdisciplinary approaches developed to facilitate
convergence and co-operation in terminological aspects of importance to
society.

SUBMISSIONS

TIA 2013 solicits both regular papers, which present significant work,
and short papers, which typically present work in progress or a smaller,
focused contribution. The program committee may decide to change the
category of a paper before acceptance. Papers can be written either in
English or French.
Regular papers should not exceed 8 pages in ACL-HLT 2011 format (see
below for LaTeX and MS Word style files), including figures, examples
and references. The mode of presentation of long papers (orally or as
posters) will be decided based on the nature rather than on the quality
of the work.
Short papers should not exceed 4 pages in the same format as regular
papers. They will also be presented orally or as posters at the
conference depending on the nature of the work.
Authors should submit the papers in PDF through the TIA submission page
at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tia2013
At the submission page, the author(s) must provide the following
information:
1. name(s) of author(s)
2. affiliation(s), addresses, fax and e-mail
3. title of the paper
4. 5 to 10 key words in English or in French (in both languages if
   possible)
5. abstract in English or in French (in both languages if possible) (200
   words maximum for each)
As the reviewing will be blind, the paper itself must not include the
authors' names and affiliations at submission time. Furthermore,
self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously
showed (Smith, 1991) ...", must be avoided. Instead, use citations such
as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Reviews of full papers
(long and short) will be performed by three reviewers.

STYLES FILES

Authors are required to use the following style files so that the papers
follow the conference format.
Latex: tia2013latex.tgz
MS Word: tia2013word.zip
IMPORTANT: Remove authors’ information from your manuscripts when
submitting them for blind review (see above)!

Offre de post-doc au LIUM

Traitement Automatique du Langage
	–
Correction de sorties d’OCR, traduction automatique statistique,
modélisation du langage.

Offre de postdoc au sein du laboratoire d’Informatique de l’Université
du Maine (LIUM) dans le domaine de la correction orthographique par
méthodes de traduction automatique statistique.

Résumé de l’offre
– Thématiques : traitement du langage naturel, application à la
  correction d’OCR et traduction automatique statistique.
– Lieu : LIUM (Le Mans), équipe LST (http ://www-lium.univ-lemans.fr/).
– Période : disponible dès maintenant pour une durée d’un an
  renouvelable.

Contexte

Ce postdoc s’inscrit dans le projet PACTE ("investissement d’avenir"),
porté par l’entreprise Diadeis, et dont sont également partenaires
l’équipe Alpage (INRIA et Paris 7), et les entreprises A2ia et Isako.
PACTE a pour objectif l’amélioration de la qualité orthographique des
textes issus de différentes méthodes de capture textuelle. 
L’accent est mis sur les sorties d’OCR (reconnaissance optique de
caractères) sur des textes imprimés scannés, mais concerne également des
données obtenues par reconnaissance d’écriture manuscrite, par saisie
manuelle, et par rédaction directe.
Les techniques qui seront utilisées sont à la fois statistiques et
hybrides, faisant usage d’outils et de ressources de linguistique
computationnelle.

Objectifs
Vérification et correction des sorties d’OCR par des méthodes de
modélisation statistique du langage. 
Les systèmes OCR utilisés n’exploitent pas ou peu de connaissance sur la
langue. 
L’objectif est d’exploiter la modélisation de la langue afin combler ce
manque.

Utilisation de la traduction automatique statistique pour la correction
d’erreurs des sorties d’OCR. 
La correction des sorties d’OCR peut être vue comme une tâche de
traduction d’un texte erroné vers un texte correct. 
Dans le cadre de l’OCR, le paradigme de traduction doit être adapté afin
de prendre en compte les spécificités de la tâche.

Le cadre applicatif de ce travail est assez exceptionnel, avec
l’exploitation d’une grande quantité de données issue notamment du
Bureau Européen des Brevets (EPO - European Patent Office) et du Journal
Officiel de l’Union Européenne.


Profil recherché
– Compétences en informatique : environnement Linux, C++, scripting,
  etc. ;
– Connaissances en apprentissage automatique, linguistique
  computationelle.
– Une expérience en traduction automatique statistique est un plus.

Le postdoc se déroulera au sein de l’équipe LST du LIUM. 
Le LIUM est connu au niveau international pour ses recherches dans le
domaine de la traduction automatique statistique, et possède de
nombreuses collaborations avec des universités et entreprises en Europe
et aux États-Unis.

RuleML 2013 Special Track on "Translating between Human Language and
Formal Rules: Business, Law, and Government"

Over the last decade there has been enormous growth in unstructured and
semi-structured textual material distributed on the web, for instance
legal sources. Yet a substantial knowledge-acquisition bottleneck
remains in using Human Language Technologies (HLT) to translate from
this material to machine-readable, knowledge-based semantic
representations. The 'Human-Rules' Special Track of RuleML 2013 has its
focus on these issues, providing a forum for current work and a venue
for the exchange of ideas. For details, important dates, and submission
information please go to the link.

The deadline for submissions is extended to April, the 8th.

Please submit author names, a paper title, and an abstract to the
submission website as soon as possible.

MultiLing 2013 - Multilingual Multi-document Summarization
Call for Systems/Participation

August 9th, 2013
ACL 2013, Sofia, Bulgaria
http://multiling.iit.demokritos.gr/pages/view/662/multiling-2013

Overview
================================================================
MultiLing 2013 is a workshop, held within ACL 2013, which covers three
sub-domains of Natural Language Processing, focused on the multilingual
aspect of summarization: multi-document summarization, summarization
evaluation and data collection.

The MultiLing 2013 workshop builds upon the Text Analysis Conference
(TAC) MultiLing Pilot task of 2011, where systems were asked to generate
fluent, representative summaries (around 250 words) for each of a set of
predefined topics per language.

This year each topic is described by 10 source documents. The set of
documents is in one of the following languages: Arabic, Chinese, Czech,
English, French, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Romanian and Spanish.

Based on the challenges revealed in MultiLing 2011, this year we also
address the problems of multilingual summary evaluation and data
collection.
We also conduct a pilot task for single document summarization.

This call asks for systems to participate and compete in the MultiLing
2013 tracks.
You can find information on how to participate at the end of this
document.


Introduction
================================================================
MultiLing 2013 aims to encourage research on multilingual summarization,
by providing a corpus in various languages, common evaluation procedures
and a forum for participants to present their results.

This call invites you to participate in the MultiLing 2013 Workshop
tracks.
MultiLing 2013 organizers will provide suitable corpora for each track.
MultiLing 2013 has two main tracks and a pilot:

   1) Multilingual multi-document summarization
   2) Multilingual summary evaluation
   3) (Pilot) Multilingual single document summarization

Tracks and Tasks Detailed
================================================================
Track 1: Multilingual multi-document summarization
----------------------------------------------------------------
The multilingual multi-document summarization track aims to evaluate the
application of (partially or fully) language-independent summarization
algorithms on a variety of languages. Each system participating in the
track will be called to provide summaries for a range of different
languages, based on a news corpus.  Participating systems will be
required to apply their methods to a minimum of two languages.
Evaluation will favor systems that apply their methods to more
languages.

The corpus used in the Multilingual multi-document summarization track
will be based on WikiNews texts (http://www.wikinews.org/). Source texts
will be UTF-8, clean texts (without any mark-up, images,etc.).

The task requires systems to generate a single, fluent, representative
summary from a set of documents describing an event sequence. The
language of the document set will be within a given range of languages
and all documents in a set share the same language. The output summary
should be of the same language as its source documents. The output
summary should be 250 words at most.

Track 2: Multilingual summary evaluation
----------------------------------------------------------------
This track aims to examine how well automated systems can evaluate
summaries from different languages. The task offers as input the
summaries generated from automatic systems and humans in the
Multilingual multi-document summarization task. The output of evaluating
systems, should be a grading of the summaries. Ideally, we would want
the automatic evaluation to maximally correlate to human judgment. Human
judgments will be provided by the organizers, thanks to the co-operating
Contributors.

The corpus of the Multilingual summary evaluation will consist of gold
(human) summaries and the automatic system summaries output from the
Multilingual multi-document summarization task.

Pilot: Multilingual single document summarization
----------------------------------------------------------------
This pilot aims to measure the ability of automated systems to apply
single document summarization, in the context of Wikipedia texts.  Given
a single encyclopedic entry, possibly with several sections/subsection,
describing a specific subject, the systems will be requested to provide
a summary covering the main points of the entry (similarly to the lead
section of a Wikipedia page). The corpus will consist of (non-parallel)
documents in over 40 languages. Participating systems will be required
to apply their methods to a minimum of two languages.  Evaluation will
favor systems that apply their methods to more languages.

The pilot corpus will be based on selected texts from Wikipedia. Details
will follow in the MultiLing 2013 website
(http://multiling.iit.demokritos.gr/)

Cet atelier se veut avant tout un espace de travail, de débat et
d'échanges sur un thème à la fois porteur et encore trop peu exploré.  A
ce titre, les soumissions sous forme de prise de position, argumentaire
d'opinion, discussion de question ouverte, défrichage de problématique,
etc., sont particulièrement encouragées.

PRÉSENTATION DU CHAMP THÉMATIQUE

Après des années de succès des méthodes quantitatives (statistiques,
apprentissage) en traitement automatique des langues, on constate que
les méthodes symboliques comme les grammaires formelles ou la logique
sont tout aussi indispensables à certaines tâches de traitement
automatique des langues. Réciproquement, les méthodes formelles peinent
à passer à l’échelle sans que les       probabilités viennent aider à
lever les ambiguïtés, à faire certains choix et à rendre compte des
préférences. L’analyse symbolique gagne aussi en rapidité à s’aider
d’informations statistiques. L’objet de cet atelier est précisément de
présenter des travaux actuels, sur l’analyse syntaxique et sémantique du
français, qui combinent nouvellement méthodes symboliques et
statistiques. Cet atelier sera aussi un forum où discuter des mérites
respectifs des méthodes statistiques et symboliques et de leur
enrichissement mutuel. 

C'est pourquoi nous encourageons les exposés de prise de position,
surtout si elles s'appuient sur des questions particulières. 

Nous donnons ci-après quelques exemples de travaux où ces différentes
méthodes sont combinées. 

 - En recherche d’information, ne pas traiter la négation et sa portée
   peut poser problème. S’il s’agit de détecter des catastrophes
   naturelles, un tweet comme « Il y a du vent, mais ce n’est pas un
   ouragan. » pourra être erronément interprété comme une catastrophe
   naturelle alors qu’il n’y en a pas

 - Si on se pose la question : « Geach était-il l’élève de Wittgenstein
   ? » il sera malaisé de répondre. Hormis Wikipédia, il y a peu de
   textes sur Geach, et une analyse profonde prenant en compte négation
   et anaphores est requise pour inférer la réponse à partir de : « Bien
   qu’il n’ait jamais suivi l’enseignement académique de ce dernier,
   cependant il en éprouva fortement l’influence. »

 - Après des années de traduction automatique symbolique, la traduction
   automatique statistique, basé sur des alignements bilingues, est
   devenue tellement efficace qu’on en a oublié le triangle de Vauquois
   (analyse de la langue source, langage pivot, génération dans la
   langue cible). Néanmoins, l'utilisation simultanée de règles, par
   exemple l'utilisation de grammaires d'arbres probabiliste ou
   l'utilisation de statistiques dans l'analyse et la génération
   constituent des directions actuelles et prometteuses.

 - Dans une tâche de reconstruction d’itinéraires à partir de récits de
   voyages la recherche d’information peut permettre de trouver les
   paragraphes pertinents, mais il faut ensuite une analyse syntaxique
   et sémantique profonde pour inférer le chemin suivi à partir de
   phrases comme : « Le chemin pavé de calcaire et de pierres luisantes
   (...) serpente à travers fourrés de buis et de noisetiers. Puis, cinq
   minutes nous conduisent à un petit pont (...) qui nous porte sur la
   rive droite.»

 - Les problèmes relatifs à la gradience syntaxique, notamment
   l'association d'une structure syntaxique cohérente à un énoncé
   non-canonique (shallow parsing, robust parsing, forêt d'analyses
   partielles, correction grammaticale, etc.), ou la pondération de
   contraintes grammaticales, sont abordés tant par des approches
   quantitatives, que par des approches symboliques. Les techniques
   d'approximation qui sous-tendent ces deux approches sont de natures
   différentes, et gagneraient à être combinées.

 - Les grammaires syntaxiques (et syntaxico-sémantiques) sont souvent
   acquises automatiquement à partir de corpus annotés avec ou sans
   statistiques. Elles comportent alors un grand nombre de catégories,
   d’arbres, de graphes par mot. Il est donc quasi obligatoire de ne pas
   analyser la phrase avec toutes les assignations possible de
   catégories, mais seulement avec les plus probables dans le contexte
   de la phrase. Le gain en complexité est flagrant, il peut être divisé
   par quarante !

 - La sémantique distributionnelle, par vecteurs de mots issus de
   fréquences en corpus ou dans les dictionnaires, permet de lever les
   ambiguïtés syntaxiques et sémantiques de portées, de rattachement
   prépositionnel, de sens lexical… Elle se rapproche ainsi de la
   sémantique compositionnelle, qu’elle vient optimiser en suggérant des
   préférences pour analyser des rattachements prépositionnels « Il
   regarde la fille avec des lunettes noires. / Il écoute la fille avec
   des lunettes noires. / Il regarde la route avec des lunettes
   noires. » ou choisir un sens lexical « Cet avocat était véreux. Il a
   ruiné son client sans le défendre. / Cet avocat était véreux. Tu
   n’aurais pas dû le mettre dans la salade. »

Les travaux devront apporter un élément nouveau, que ce soit un modèle
symbolique qui se trouve inhabituellement enrichi de techniques
statistiques, ou que les méthodes statistiques soient étendues à des
structures jusqu’ici ignorées d’elles, ou encore qu’on mette en oeuvre
un modèle mixte n’ayant jamais été utilisé en linguistique
informatique. A titre d’exemple, l’acquisition sur corpus annoté d’une
grammaire hors contexte probabiliste et la mesure de sa couverture sont
considérées comme trop connues pour être présentées à cet atelier.

Cet atelier est ouvert à tous les travaux novateurs mêlant approches
statistiques et méthodes symboliques dans l'analyse syntaxique et
sémantique du français, les exemples ci-dessus ne sont mentionnés qu'à
titre indicatif.  Nous encourageons les soumissions sous forme de prise
de position, argumentaire d'opinion, discussion de question ouverte,
défrichage de problématique, etc. : ce sujet neuf suscite le débat entre
deux communautés relativement distinctes.


LANGUE

A priori, l’utilisation de méthodes mixtes est indépendant de la
langue. Cependant nous ne considérerons que les articles proposant un
traitement automatique qui puisse s’appliquer à la syntaxe ou à la
sémantique du français.

Les non francophones qui le souhaitent peuvent soumettre un article en
anglais.

TYPES DE COMMUNICATIONS

Les articles seront rédigés en français pour les francophones, en
anglais pour ceux qui ne maîtrisent pas le français. Ils devront suivre
le format de TALN 2013 et comprendront 4 pages.  Une feuille de style
LaTeX et un modèle Word sont disponibles sur le site web de la
conférence (http://www.taln2013.org/soumettre/). Les articles retenus
donneront lieu à une présentation orale, dont la durée sera communiquée
lors de l’acceptation.

CRITÈRES DE SÉLECTION

Les critères de sélection sont les mêmes que ceux définis par TALN 2013
pour les articles de recherche.

MODALITÉS DE SOUMISSION

                         CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
        WORKSHOP ON LANGUAGE, COGNITION AND COMPUTATIONAL MODELS

                         Paris, May 28-29, 2013
              https://sites.google.com/site/lccmodels/home

We are pleased  to invite you to:

	The Workshop on Language,  Cognition and Computational Models, 

which will be held in Paris at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) and at
the Institut des Systèmes Complexes de Paris, on May 28th and 29th 2013.

The goal of this event is to provide a venue for the multidisciplinary
discussion of theoretical and practical research for computational
models of language and cognition. The event centers around recent
advances on computational models for language acquisition, processing
and evolution.

The first day will mainly address language evolution and some of the
computational models that have been proposed to investigate possible
avenues for this phenomenon. The second day will address more varied
issues, ranging from the origins of language to recent trends in machine
translation. All the talks will address key questions dealing with
cognitive, formal and/or computational issues related to language
evolution and/or language processing.

The event is open to students, researchers and anyone interested in
related topics.  Attendance is free but people who plan to attend are
kindly requested to register preferably before May 1st to help with the
planning of the event. The registration form is available at

	https://sites.google.com/site/lccmodels/registration

Proposition de stage M1 ou M2 au LIMSI-CNRS
Groupe Traitement du Langage Parlé (http://www.limsi.fr/tlp/) à Orsay

Responsable du stage : Marianna Apidianaki (CNRS-LIMSI, groupe TLP)


Titre : Acquisition de connaissances sémantiques à partir de corpus
parallèles

Les corpus parallèles multilingues offrent une solution peu coûteuse à
l'acquisition de connaissances sémantiques. Les différentes méthodes
proposées dans ce but se basent principalement sur des informations
traductionnelles (Dyvik, 1998; Ide et al., 2002; Bannard and
Callison-Burch, 2005) éventuellement combinées avec des informations du
contexte (Apidianaki, 2008; Bansal et al. 2012). Les connaissances
sémantiques acquises par ces méthodes peuvent servir à des fins
d'analyse contrastive ou être exploitées dans des applications
multilingues, comme la Traduction Automatique. Néanmoins, la nature des
connaissances obtenues varie de manière importante et dépend fortement
des informations exploitées par la méthode d'analyse sémantique
employée, des techniques utilisées et des hypothèses théoriques
sous-jacentes.

L'objectif de ce stage est d'étudier la sémantique des paraphrases
acquises par une méthode basée sur une hypothèse de correspondance
sémantique inter-langue, la méthode de paraphrasage par pivot
(Callison-Burch, 2008). Des ressources sémantiques construites par cette
méthode sont actuellement largement utilisées dans la Traduction
Automatique et son évaluation (Zhou et al. 2006; Madnani et al., 2007;
Snover et al., 2009; Denkowsky and Lavie, 2010). Nous sommes intéressés
à examiner la pertinence des descriptions sémantiques engendrées en
expérimentant avec différentes méthodes de clustering sémantique et de
représentation des connaissances. Les résultats de l'étude permettront
d'identifier les cas nécessitant une analyse plus poussée et d'estimer
leur impact dans la Traduction Automatique et son évaluation.

Le stage est rémunéré et se déroulera au LIMSI-CNRS (Orsay) dans
l'équipe Traitement du Langage Parlé (http://www.limsi.fr/tlp).

Profil : 
- Master 1 ou 2 en Traitement Automatique des Langues ou Informatique
- bonnes compétences en programmation
- connaissances en apprentissage automatique (clustering) 
- expérience avec des systèmes de Traduction Automatique serait un plus

Durée : 4 mois (plein temps)
Date de début : dès disponibilité
Lieu : LIMSI-CNRS, Groupe TLP, rue John von Neumann, Université Paris
Sud, 91403 Orsay Cedex

Rémunération : le/la stagiaire recevra la gratification CNRS standard
(environ 400 euros par mois)

       Second International Conference on Dependency Linguistics
                              DepLing 2013

               http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/project/depling13/
 =======================================================================
                         Third Call for Papers
 =======================================================================

DepLing 2013 will be held at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics,
Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic on August 27-30, 2013.

The conference is organized by the Institute of Formal and Applied
Linguistics.

DepLing 2013 is the second conference in the DepLing series (the first
was held in Barcelona, Spain in 2011).
The series responds to the growing need for linguistic meetings
dedicated to syntactic, semantic and lexicographic approaches that are
centered around dependency as a central notion.

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

     Submission deadline: April 15, 2013
     Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2013
     Camera-ready copy of papers due: June 17, 2013
     Depling Conference: August 27-31, 2013

 =======================================================================
                        Proceedings Publication
 =======================================================================

In addition to the electronic version, there will be a hard copy version
of the Proceedings published by the MATFYZPRESS (with the ISBN)
available to the conference participants at the registration. The papers
accepted for the conference will be indexed by the ACL Anthology.

 =======================================================================
                                 Topics
 =======================================================================

Topics include, but are not limited to:

- The use of dependency trees in syntactic analysis, description,
  formalization, parsing, generation, and corpus annotation of written
  and spoken texts.

- The use of semantic valency-based predicate and actancy graph
  structures and their link to classical logic.

- The elaboration of formal dictionaries for dependency-based syntax and
  semantics, including descriptions of collocations and paradigmatic
  relations.

- Links to morphology and linearization of dependency structures, using
  for example topological field theories

- Dependency-like structures beyond the sentence as annotation scheme
  for discourse phenomena.

- The description and formalization of semantic and pragmatic phenomena
  related to information structure.

- History, epistemology, and psycholinguistic relevance of dependency
  grammar, including its relation to generative approaches to language

We are also interested in work on issues such as:

- What are the differences and similarities between theta roles,
  valencies, f-structures, TAG derivation trees, (subcategorization)
  frames, semantic role labelling, etc?

- Which corpus annotations using head-daughter relations on words are
  formally and linguistically equivalent, which are not?

- How to describe syntax-semantic interfaces between dependency
  structures?

 =======================================================================
                      Papers format and submission
 =======================================================================

The deadline for the submissions is April 15, 2013.
The submissions will be electronic in PDF format through the DepLing2013
EasyChair.

Papers may consist of up to 10 pages of content (including references
and figures), in the ACL two-column format.
Please see the instructions at:

Bonjour à tous,

Monsieur *Jens Edlund, *KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm,
Suède, viendra nous présenter ses travaux sur :

*"**Information transfer and plain old interaction: contrasting
human-human chatter with spoken dialogue systems' information transfer"*

Date : *mercredi 18 avril à 13h30*
Lieu : GIPSA-lab, Département Parole & Cognition, salle B314 du site
       Ampère 
Plan d'accès : http://www.gipsa-lab.grenoble-inp.fr/plan-d-acces.php

Résumé :
Good communication, as applied to humans meeting each other, is largely
based on subjective judgements of whether a certain sameness – rapport –
was bulit or not. When we measure human-machine communication, the
measures are regularly different, and focus around task completion.
In this talk, I’ll make an attempt at comparing these two views. I hope
to show that they are in essence not all that different, and that the
views of communication as either information transfer or social
hobnobbing are unnecessarily disparate.

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

*Text Mining and Applications (TEMA’13) Track of EPIA’13 - Deadline
(April 8th 3:00 pm)*

TeMA 2013 will be held at the 16th Portuguese Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (EPIA 2013) taking place at the University of Azores, Angra
do Heroísmo, Terceira Island from 9th to 13th September 2013. This track
is organized under the auspices of the Portuguese Association for
Artificial Intelligence (APPIA).

EPIA 2013 URL: http://epia2013.uac.pt/

This announcement contains:

[1] Track description; [2] Topics of interest; [3] Special Interests for
2013; [4] Important dates; [5] Paper submission; [6] Track fees; [7]
Organizing Committee; [8] Program Committee and [9] Contacts.

[1] *Track Description*

Human languages are complex by nature and efforts in pure symbolic
approaches alone have been unable to provide fully satisfying
results. Text Mining and Machine Learning techniques applied to texts
(raw or annotated) brought up new insights and completely shifted the
approaches to Human Language Technologies. Both approaches, symbolic and
statistically based, when duly integrated, have shown capabilities to
bridge the gap between language theories and effective use of languages,
and can enable important applications in real-world heterogeneous
environment such as the Web.

The most natural form of written information is raw, unstructured
text. The huge amount of this kind of textual information circulating in
the Internet nowadays (in an increasing number of different languages)
leads us to use and investigate systems, algorithms and models for
mining texts. As a consequence, Text Mining is an active research area
that is continuously broadening worldwide and fostering reinforced
interest in languages other than the most common ones such as English,
French, German and now Chinese.  This 5th Biannual Track of Text Mining
and Applications will provide, as in previous editions of the TeMA
Tracks within the EPIA Conferences, a venue for researchers to present
and share their work in intelligent computational technologies applied
to written human languages. TeMA 2013 is a forum for researchers working
in Human Language Technologies i.e. Natural Language Processing (NLP),
Computational Linguistics (CL), Natural Language Engineering (NLE), Text
Mining (TM) and related areas.

Authors are invited to submit their papers on any of the issues
identified in section [2]. Papers will be blindly reviewed by three
members of the Program Committee. Best papers will be published at
Springer, in LNAI series. If there are additional papers whose quality
is sufficiently high for deserving to be presented at TeMA 2013, those
other accepted papers will be published in a conference proceedings
book.

[2] *Topics of Interest*

Topics include but are not limited to:

Text Mining:

- Language Models
- Multi-word Units
- Lexical Knowledge Acquisition
- Word and Multi-word Sense Disambiguation
- Acquisition and Usage of Ontologies
- Lexical Cohesion
- Sentiment Analysis
- Word and Multi-word Translation Extraction
- Textual Entailment
- Text Clustering and Classification
- Algorithms and Data Structures for Text Mining
- Information Extraction
- Multi-Faceted Text Analysis: Opinions, Time, Space

Applications:

- Social Network Analysis
- Machine Translation
- Automatic Summarization
- Intelligent Information Retrieval
- Multilingual access to multilingual Information
- E-training, E-learning and Question-Answering Systems
- Web Mining

[3]* Special Interests for 2013*

The evolution of the Web has drastically changed the focus of Text
Mining as most of the texts are small in size. While, in the past, the
focus was on dealing with very large corpora of long texts, the new
reality is huge collections of tweets or posts on social media that
contain very few words in a clear multilingual environment. This is
usually referred to the Big Data (here Big Textual Data). As a
consequence, new trends have recently been appearing in Text Mining, for
example, keyword extraction, named-entity recognition, novelty
detection, event identification.

Moreover, the growing interest and quality of Wikipedia has allowed to
include knowledge on a large scale in Text Mining applications. As such,
many research have been focusing on the correct use of knowledge bases,
for example, entity information retrieval, word sense disambiguation,
ephemeral clustering.

[4] *Important dates*

April 5, 2013: Paper submission deadline
April 30, 2013: Notification of paper acceptance
May 31, 2013: Deadline for camera-ready versions
September 9-13, 2013: Conference dates

[5] *Paper submission*

Submissions must be full technical papers on substantial, original, and
previously unpublished research. Papers can have a maximum length of 12
pages. All papers should be prepared according to the formatting
instructions of Springer LNAI series. Authors should omit their names
from the submitted papers, and should take reasonable care to avoid
indirectly disclosing their identity. All papers should be submitted in
PDF format through the conference management website at:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=epia2013

Patrick Paroubek est Ingénieur de Recherche au LIMSI-CNRS. Actuellement
dans le groupe ILES (Information Langue Ecrite et Signée) du département
Communication Homme-Machine, ses travaux concernent l'analyse
automatique du langage naturel et plus particulièrement l'évaluation des
technologies du langage. Il a organisé ou participé à l'organisation de
nombreuses campagnes d'évaluation portant sur l'étiquetage
morpho-syntaxique du français (GRACE), l'analyse syntaxique du français
(PEAS, EASY, PASSAGE), la compréhension du langage naturel (MEDIA), les
systèmes de question réponse (EQUER), la fouille d'opinion (DEFT07 &
DEFT09 ), la classification de documents (DEFT08), l'analyse
diachronique (DEFT2010 & DEFT2011), l'indexation de documents (DEFT2012)
et l'extraction d'information (DEFT2013). Il a par ailleurs contribué à
l'élaboration d'une méthode d'évaluation pour les systèmes de dialogue
oral (projet européen DISC) et plus récemment pour les systèmes de
fouille d'opinion dans un contexte industriel (projet Cap-Digital
DOXA). Il a aussi participé à une campagne sur la fouille d'opinion dans
le domaine médical en 2011 (I2B2).

P. Paroubek a co-encadré la thèse de Julien Poudade sur l'émergence du
langage par apprentissage non supervisé dans une population d'agents
situés, soutenue en 2005 et a encadré la thèse d'Alexander Pak sur la
fouille d'opinion, soutenue en 2012.

Avant le LIMSI, P. Paroubek avait rejoint le CNRS en 1993, en intégrant
l'INALF, où il avait participé à l'informatisation du Trésor de la
Langue Française en tant qu'Ingénieur de Recherche, avant de rejoindre
le groupe de Traitement du Langage Parlé du LIMSI en 1997.

Précédemment, il a été et maître de conférence à l'University Malaya où
il a enseigné le génie logiciel et la gestion de projet, puis ATER en
informatique à l'Université de Rouen, après un bref passage dans

groupes industriels (Bull).

De formation universitaire, P. Paroubek a fait toutes ses études à
l'Université Pierre & Marie Curie, où il a obtenu son doctorat en
informatique en décembre 1989, au LITP devenu depuis le LIP6.

Depuis juin 2008, il est vice-président de l'Association française pour
le Traitement Automatique des Langues (ATALA), dont il est membre depuis
1995. Il est aussi Directeur de la collection Ingénierie des Langues,
chez Hermès-Lavoisier depuis 2007.

P. Paroubek est l'auteur de 2 articles de revues internationales, 6

Séminaire interdisciplinaire 2012-2013 du Centre d'Alembert

(http://www.centre-dalembert.u-psud.fr)

"Sensibles, empêchées, inaccessibles, ouvertes, archivées, revisitées...
Les données de la recherche en questions"


Séance du mercredi 10 avril 2013
Nouvel horaire : de 13h45 à 15h45

Quels accès aux données ? Du "communisme" scientifique aux modèles
propriétaires - 2ème partie

Intervenant :

Michel GUIRAUD, Professeur du Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle
Directeur des collections

Les données naturalistes ; un enjeu scientifique et socio-économique

L'explosion des opérations d'informatisation et de numérisation des
données des spécimens d'histoire naturelle pose le problème de leur mise
à disposition, ou de leur restriction d'accès, lié à la fois à leur
nature évolutive au fur et à mesure de l'avancée des sciences, et à
l'évolution de la réglementation et des conventions
internationales. Cette évolution nécessite la mise en place de nouvelles
pratiques de partage.

Les collections naturalistes représentent approximativement 2 milliards
de données sur la diversité biologique et géologique. Ces informations
sont attachées à des spécimens collectés depuis plus de 350 ans ; ce
sont des références pour la description des espèces et la documentation
du changement global, mais ce aussi sont du matériel bien identifié pour
des recherches appliquées. Les collections des muséums proviennent de
toutes les zones géographiques, et du fait de la longue histoire, de
pays dont les frontières ont changé ou qui n'existaient pas. La valeur
de ces spécimens réside dans l'information scientifique qui lui est
associé; cette information est enrichie et précisée en permanence par
les chercheurs. Elles constituent un corpus nécessaire à la recherche en
systématique et depuis plusieurs années des organismes internationaux
s'attachent à les réunir pour les mettre à disposition de la communauté
scientifique à travers d'immenses bases de données. Néanmoins, les
outils juridiques permettant aux pays de revendiquer le bénéfice de ces
ressources deviennent de plus en plus contraignants. L'accès à ces
données est donc un enjeu qui dépasse les scientifiques ; les intérêts
des uns et des autres peuvent s'opposer : comment gérer ce bien commun,
le partager au mieux des intérêts de tous et le préserver pour les
générations futures ?


Intervenante :
Mélanie CLÉMENT-FONTAINE, maître de conférences HDR, codirectrice du
laboratoire Dante et du master 2 droit des NTIC de l'UVSQ

La résurgence des communs et des communautés

Le développement d'Internet s'est accompagné de la mise en partage
accrue de la production de connaissances. Dans un premier temps, cela
visait essentiellement les outils informatiques puis la pratique s'est
étendue aux contenus. Le partage a consisté à permettre à tous d'avoir
accès aux données. Un accès qui peut s'entendre comme la possibilité
d'utiliser, de diffuser voire de modifier ces données.

De ce phénomène socio-économique d'envergure est né un conflit entre une
conception « libertaire » et une conception « propriétaire » de la
question de l'accès aux données. Passé ce rapport conflictuel, il est
apparu nécessaire de réfléchir sur les moyens de concilier le partage et
la réservation. À la lumière des études en sociologie et en économie,
les réponses juridiques ont consisté à s'inspirer de notions un temps
délaissées telles que les biens communs, la propriété collective et les
communautés. Ces études révèlent l'ambivalence de la question de l'accès
aux données qui relève à la fois d'un régime d'appropriation et d'un
certain « communisme » scientifique.

DEADLINE APPROACHING


International Workshop on Definitions in Ontologies (DO 2013)
July 7, 2013

At ICBO 2013 (International Conference on Biomedical Ontologies)
Montreal, Canada

Website: http://definitionsinontologies.weebly.com/ 


Ontologies built using OBO Foundry principles are advised to include
both formal (logical) definitions, as well as natural language
definitions. Depending on the effort, one or the other can be
underrepresented. Possible explanations to this bottleneck are the high
cost of producing well-written definitions; an insufficient
understanding of the nature of natural language definitions or of logic;
the lack of an operational theory of definitions; the lack of studies
that evaluate usability and effectiveness of definitions in ontologies;
a paucity of tools to help with definition authoring and
checking. Producing natural language definitions is time-consuming,
costly and prone to all kinds of inconsistencies. Producing logical
definitions that are effective, correct, and communicative is also
difficult. It is therefore worth exploring different ways of assisting,
with automation, creation and quality control of definitions.

This workshop gathers interested researchers and developers to reflect
upon general themes as the selection and modeling of defining
information; the relation between definitions in specific domains as
opposed to domain-independent definitions; the theoretical underpinnings
of definitions; tools that can facilitate relating logical and natural
language definitions. In addition, we would want to encourage
participation by different communities using definitions so that their
needs can be exposed.


FORMAT AND OUTCOMES

The workshop will consist of two parts. First, selected presentations of
short papers from attendees. Second, a guided discussion based on the
participants’ suggestions. This discussion is aimed at synthetizing and
prioritizing defining practices. All papers should end with a suggestion
on the defining practices or users’ needs regarding definitions.  We
will, based on the presentations and discussion, collect a list of
recommendations relating to definitions in ontologies to be posted on
the workshop’s website.


INTENDED AUDIENCE

We solicit participation from developers and users from all around the
world and different linguistic communities in the areas of ontology,
natural language processing, information retrieval, logics, philosophy,
terminology and lexicology. We want to encourage participation of
ontologists and tool developers building ontology authoring tools;
philosophers and logicians who can shed light on the issues in creating
definitions; biomedical researchers interested in the role of
definitions in nomenclatures such as SNOMED; computer scientists
interested in the treatment of definitions in the framework of languages
like OWL; terminologists and lexicologists working on definitions and
their modeling; NLP researchers working on definition extraction
techniques or on information retrieval methods for definition
production; and NLP/IR researchers reusing definitions produced for
ontologies.


TOPICS

Topics of interest are split between foundational aspects, pragmatic
issues and user perspectives. Below we list some possible topics.


===== Foundational aspects =======================

   * Theories of definition and their implications for the defining
     practice
   * Realist versus conceptualist approaches in definition writing
   * Definition modeling: what kinds of information are defining
   * Domain-independent versus domain-specific definition models
   * Formal versus natural language definitions


===== Pragmatic issues ===========================

   * Quality control in definitions
   * Ways of evaluating definitions
   * Comparison and evaluation of different definition production
     techniques: handwritten, automatically generated from formal
     definitions, extracted from corpora or constructed from information
     retrieved from corpora
   * Methods and tools to automate definition production and checking
   * (Multilingual) definition generation
   * Information retrieval for definition production
   * Use of definition models to facilitate information retrieval
   * Definition extraction from corpora
   * Interactions between ontologies and lexical resources (WordNet,
     FrameNet)
   * Consequences/Strategies of giving necessary versus necessary and

La prochaine séance du séminaire de l'UMR Praxiling aura lieu le lundi 
15 avril 2013, de 14h à 16h :

Intervenante : Alice KRIEG-PLANQUE
Université Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC) - Céditec (EA 3119)

Titre : Les "argumentaires" des partis politiques : questions de genre,
d'énonciation et de publicisation

Résumé :
Nous nous intéressons à un genre de texte, appelé "argumentaire", tel
qu'il existe en tant que production discursive des partis politiques
français contemporains. Sommairement, l'"argumentaire" peut être décrit
comme un document qui présente notamment un ensemble de positions,
généralement argumentées, données à voir comme étant celles de
l'organisation partisane sur un thème ou sujet donné (argumentaire du
PCF sur le Pacte budgétaire européen, argumentaire de l'UMP sur les 100
premiers jours de François Hollande...).
Mais c'est moins le bornage univoque d'une définition de
l'"argumentaire" qui nous intéresse qu'une exploration de quelques-unes
des principales dimensions de ce type de texte. En effet,
l'"argumentaire" se prête particulièrement bien à des questionnements
variés, à la croisée de la linguistique, de l'analyse du discours, des
sciences politiques, et des sciences de l'information et de la
communication.
Ainsi, au fil de l'exposé, cinq aspects de l'"argumentaire" retiennent
plus particulièrement notre attention : sa dénomination, qui relève du
métalangage ordinaire des acteurs et rattache l'existence du genre avant
tout à des pratiques d'écriture identifiables pour le parti politique ;
ses caractéristiques discursives internes, qui font apparaître
l'importance que l'"argumentaire" accorde au dialogisme interdiscursif ;
son identité de document de communication, en tant qu'il est constitué
d'énoncés conçus pour être repris dans le cadre d'un travail
d'argumentation mené par le militant ; sa multifonctionnalité, alliant
affirmation de l'autorité du parti, formation des militants, animation
du débat public, et persuasion ; enfin, ses transformations sous l'effet
du recours à l'internet dans la communication politique partisane.

Lieu :
salle Jourda
Université Paul Valéry-Montpellier 3

Call for Participation

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

We are happy to announce the opening of the registration for the new
2013 Retrieving Diverse Social Images Task of the MediaEval Multimedia
Benchmark.

**About the Retrieving Diverse Social Images 2013 Task**

The diversity task is a new task for 2013. The task addresses the
problem of result diversification in social photo retrieval.

We consider a tourist use case where a person tries to find more
information about a place she is potentially visiting. The person has
only a vague idea about the location, knowing the name of the place. She
uses the name to learn additional information about the monument from
the Internet, for instance by visiting a Wikipedia page, e.g., getting a
photo, the geographical position of the place and basic descriptions.
Before deciding whether this location suits her needs, the person is
interested in getting a more complete visual description of the place.

In this task, participants are provided with a ranked list of photos of
a location retrieved from common social photo search engines. These
results are typically noisy and redundant.

The task requires participants to exploit the provided visual and
textual information to refine these results by selecting only a sub-set
of photos.
The selected photos should be equally representative - accurate matches
of the query location, diverse - depicting the query location in a
complete manner (e.g., different views of a monument at different times
of the day/year and under different weather conditions, drawings,
sketches) and compact - select only very few results (e.g., 10-20 photos
per query that fit a typical page of search results).

**Task schedule (tentative)**

March-May: Registration and return usage agreements.
1 May: Release of development/training data.
3 June: Release of test data.
9 September: Participants submit their completed runs.
16 September: Evaluation of submitted runs.
30 September: Participants write their 2-page working notes papers.
18-19 October: MediaEval 2013 Workshop, Barcelona, Spain
The workshop is timed so that it is possible to attend both ACM
Multimedia 2013 (http://acmmm13.org/) and the MediaEval 2013 workshop in
the same trip.

**Task organizers**

Bogdan Ionescu, LAPI, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania
María Menéndez, KnowDive, Department of Information Engineering and
Computer Science, University of Trento, Italy
Henning Müller, HES-SO in Sierre, Switzerland
Adrian Popescu, CEA LIST, France

**Detailed information**

For more information about the task and in general about MediaEval see
http://www.multimediaeval.org. Registration is available through the
benchmark website.

We look forward to a very successful evaluation campaign!

The registration for The 25th European Summer School in Logic, Language
and Information (ESSLLI 2013) is now open. ESSLLI 2013 will be held in
Düsseldorf, Germany, August 5-16, 2013.

In order to register, go to esslli2013.de/registration.

The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI)
is organized every year by the Association for Logic, Language and
Information (FoLLI) in different sites around Europe. Under the auspices
of FoLLI (the Association for Logic, Language, and Information), ESSLLI
brings together logicians, linguists, computer scientists, and
philosophers to study language, logic, and information, and their
interconnections. The school hosts approximately 50 courses at both
introductory and advanced levels, and brings together around 500
participants from all over the world. Along with the courses, ESSLLI
hosts workshops and invited lectures, providing opportunities for
in-depth discussion of current research.

Anyone who has been to Düsseldorf will recall places like Königsallee,
the Altstadt (Old Town), MedienHafen or the Rhine embankment promenade.
For good reason – these places are to Düsseldorf what the Eiffel Tower
is to Paris. The state capital of North Rhine-Westphalia has even more
to offer. Recent years have seen the development of a thriving young
alternative scene in Düsseldorf. Up-and-coming quarters such as
Flingern, Bilk and Derendorf are becoming red-hot forges of original
art, culture, fashion and music.

For more information on ESSLLI and on Düsseldorf, please check our
website at esslli2013.de. We are very proud to be hosting the 25th
ESSLLI in Düsseldorf and we look forward to seeing you there!

*September 1st, 2013, Genoa, Italy*
*URL: http://www.ksi.mff.cuni.cz/sdp/index.html*
*******************************************************

Online social networks are associated to many disciplines, e.g.
mathematics, computer science, social and biological sciences.  Besides
of their social characteristics these networks have their own specific
features at the system level.

Techniques of information retrieval, databases, preference modeling,
graph theory, etc.  are integrated there and adapted into dynamic
environment with high scalability.

The workshop Social Data Processing (SDS) continues a successful 1st
year organized in conjunction with the ADBIS 2012 conference. SDS is
focused on data processing issues associated with online social networks
and takes up the topics of the main ADBIS conference, i.e. classical and
todayâEUR^(TM)s hot database themes as well as various aspects of social
computing.

The workshop plans to focus on the following areas:

* data modeling for social networks
* social networks and graph databases
* social networks and relational databases
* social networks and data streaming
* a database perspective of social networks data processing
* computational aspects of social networks
* extraction, querying, and analysis of social networks
* general professional social networks
* field specific professional social networks
* human testing of software prototypes in a social network
* behavioral modeling and social networks
* affective social computing
* mining techniques for the social Web
* automatic discovery and analysis of Web based social networks
* network evolution and growth mechanisms
* information diffusion in social networks
* detection of communities by document analysis
* search algorithms on social networks.
* collaborative filtering.

First Call for Papers

Workshop on Scalability in Natural Language Processing
https://sites.google.com/site/scanlp2013/

Full-day workshop in conjunction with RANLP 2013

Deadline: 3 July 2013, 23:59 Hawaii Time
****************************************************************

This workshop, held in conjunction with RANLP 2013, aims to introduce
contemporary work and to discuss novel methods for natural language
processing at a large scale, and explore how the resulting technology
and methods can be reused in applications both on the Web and in the
physical world.

DESCRIPTION

For a processing approach to be scalable, it should be to take on large
volumes of data; it can work through them at high speed; and it can
smoothly adapt to changes in these needs. We discuss this in the context
of NLP, with particular focus on the core tasks of resource creation,
discourse processing, and evaluation.

Now is a particularly important time to develop scalable methods in our
field. Big data is here and the benefits of effectively getting through
it remain to be harvested by the pioneers. Huge datasets are becoming
available: Google Books contains 155 billion tokens, over which only
shallow surveys have been conducted; the new Common Crawl web corpus
contains over 60 terabytes of text and metadata. But size alone is not a
driver for scalable methods - the rapid text content creation we see
every day presents masses of data we are not yet equipped to handle. For
example, Twitter alone is responsible for 500 million microtexts every
day; the publicly-visible Wordpress.org holds a part of the 2 million
blog documents we create every 24 hours.

As well as big text data becoming prolific, demand for this data is also
high. The fast, un-curated nature of microtext has been shown to be of
value in stock valuation by multiple researchers.  User location and
movement analysis enables powerful search and analysis modes, such as
computational journalism and powerful personalisation. Sentiment
detection informs corporations, governance and political
activities. Media monitoring requires extracting and co-referring
entities and events from thousands of outlets in real time. And finally,
the emerging field of deep learning places but one core demand in all
its guises: large amounts of data. All these applications' pressures
create a demand for NLP that can be done quickly and broadly.

There is more demand than ever for scalable natural language
processing. Many organisations are interested in the potential results
as big data becomes better defined and data-intensive approaches to
computational linguistics reach production-level performance. Enormous
quantities of data, from user input to news archives, are being mined
using more powerful and computationally demanding techniques. The
organisation, variety, integrity and public availability of the
resulting resources will have a major impact on how we continue to do
science.

Newly introduced data-intensive approaches to computational linguistics
continue thrive on input volume; we need scalable technology to handle
the next order of magnitude in corpus sizes and, given the nature of
language, to continue data-intensive advances in our field.

 =======================================================================
TOPICS OF INTEREST

With regard to Scalable NLP, we aim to encourage discussion regarding
three key areas of natural language processing: resource creation;
processing of discourse; and evaluation:

-- General scalability issues
-- Application approaches
-- Performance limits
-- Flexible resource creation
-- Parallelising annotation
-- Handling huge corpora
-- Crowdsourcing for corpus creation
-- Decomposing resource creation tasks
-- Rapid or realtime annotation quality assessment
-- Running NLP in the cloud
-- Privacy issues
-- NLP application optimisation / parallelisation
-- Scalable machine learning for NLP
-- High performance computing for NLP
-- Rapid evaluation
-- On-line learning for NLP
-- Reinforcement learning
-- Iterative and ensemble learning
-- Hypothesis generation

In addition to the invited talk and presentations, the worskhop will
include a 30-minute hands-on demonstration slot with participants doing
NLP in the cloud using GATECloud, possibly including social media
processing using GATE TwitIE (supported and funded by the organisers).

ACL 2013 Workshop on Discourse in Machine Translation (DiscoMT)
Friday, August 9, 2013 - Sofia, Bulgaria


Final call for papers


Over the past four years, there has been a resurgence of interest in
machine translation from the perspective of discourse, and in discourse
from the perspective of machine translation.  This includes ensuring
document-level consistency in the choice of lexical items or referring
forms or in document style or register; translating discourse phenomena
that depend on more than just the context of the current sentence or of
n-grams to the left and/or right; and ensuring that source-language
discourse relations between clauses and/or sentences are also realized
in the target text.

Given this renewed interest, we are pleased to invite paper submissions
to the ACL 2013 Workshop on Discourse in MT, to be held on August 9,
2013 in Sofia.

The papers should focus on language processing techniques, whether
theoretically-inspired or empirical, which address one or more of the
discourse-level phenomena listed below, either in combination with MT,
or from a cross-lingual perspective.  We especially welcome papers that
propose methods and software which enhance the capabilities of MT
systems on discourse-level phenomena.  Papers assessing the importance
and origins of MT difficulties with discourse, including research and
commercial MT systems, are suitable as well.

The proposed workshop solicits submissions more particularly focused on
the following topics, but welcomes also submissions that link discourse
studies with machine translation in some other way.

- discourse processing in support of MT, including:
   o textual coherence, including anaphora, coreference, tense,
     aspect and modality
   o textual cohesion, including lexical consistency
   o discourse structure, including appropriate use of connectives and
     information structuring devices
   o topic structure
   o consistency in style and register
- MT techniques for obtaining document-level consistency and domain
  adaptability;
- MT techniques for structured documents;
- methods and algorithms to handle discourse-level phenomena in
  MT training and decoding;
- uses of MT in processing discourse-level phenomena;
- techniques for assessing the impact of discourse-level processing on
  MT quality;
- quantitative studies on the impact of discourse-level phenomena on
  current MT systems vs. discourse-aware ones.

Submission instructions

We solicit previously unpublished work, presented either as long or
short papers, following the ACL 2013 formatting guidelines available at
http://acl2013.org/site/call.html.  Long papers should have at most 8
pages of content, not including references.  Short papers are limited to
4 pages of content, not including references.  There is no constraint on
the length of the reference list.  Both types of submissions should be
anonymous, i.e. do not disclose in any way the identity of the
author(s).  Papers must be submitted using the START system at the URL
indicated on the workshop's website.

Le LDI, le LIDILEM, RLM et Synergies-Tunisie organisent les

Premières Rencontres Phraséologiques
 
La phraséologie : des collocations aux séquences figées Grenoble, Maison
des Sciences de l’Homme Rhône-Alpes
les 13, 14 et 15 novembre 2013	

2ème circulaire 

Le phénomène phraséologique a donné lieu à des recherches diversifiées
ces dernières années, ce qui rend nécessaire un point d’étape,
permettant d’affiner et de mettre en regard les différents objets
d’étude concernés.  Une telle extension nécessite en effet une
définition précise de la phraséologie, de ses unités minimales
d’analyse, des méthodes descriptives adoptées et des champs
d’application explorés.

C’est pourquoi, nous invitons les chercheurs travaillant sur la
phraséologie, indépendamment de leur domaine de spécialité (syntaxe,
sémantique, pragmatique, traitement automatique, traduction, didactique,
lexicographie, psycholinguistique, socio-linguistique, rhétorique,
terminologie, littérature, etc.) à mener une réflexion pour :

- contribuer à cette délimitation du champ de la phraséologie aussi bien
  en termes de langues (langue générale/langues spécialisées) que
  d’expressions discursives,

- dresser un bilan général des méthodologies éprouvées par les
  descriptions effectuées, notamment en ce qui concerne les concepts
  méthodologiques stabilisés dans le discours des phraséologues,

- pointer les différentes ressources disponibles en vue d’en donner une
  meilleure visibilité,

- mettre en exergue les référents théoriques et les champs d’application
  revendiqués par les uns et les autres.

 -------------IVA 2013 FINAL Call For Papers  --------------------
Thirteenth International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents
http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/iva2013/

August 29-31st Edinburgh, Scotland, UK

***Submission EXTENDED to April 21st ****
Submit at: http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/iva2013/Submission.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

IVA 2013 is an interdisciplinary annual conference and the main leading
scientific forum for presenting research on modelling, developing and
evaluating intelligent virtual agents with a focus on communicative
abilities and social behaviour. In addition to presentations on
theoretical issues, the conference encourages the showcasing of working
applications. Researchers from the fields of human-human and human-robot
interaction are also encouraged to share work with a relevance to
intelligent virtual agents.

SPECIAL TOPIC: "Virtual Agents and Cognition". In 2013 the IVA
conference will have a special theme on cognitive modelling in Virtual
Agents. This topic will touch on many aspects of Intelligent Virtual
Agent theory and application. To name a few areas, we will especially
encourage submissions that deal with IVAs and models of personality;
theory of mind; learning and adaptation; motivation and goal-management;
creativity; social and culturally-specific behaviour. Models must be
explicitly related to IVAs but need not be implemented as
yet. Application areas include social and culture training, heritage,
entertainment and persuasive interaction. Issues include how systems
relate to the original theory and how they can be evaluated.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Design, Modelling and Evaluation of IVAs
* design criteria and design methodologies
* evaluation methodologies and user studies
* ethical considerations and social impact
* applicable lessons from other fields (e.g. robotics)
* improvisational or dramatic interaction
* dimensions of intelligence, cognition and behaviour
* models of multimodal perception and action
* models of emotionally communicative behaviour
* models of conversational behaviour
* design of virtual actors
* Other (non cognition-inspired) conceptual frameworks and models for
  IVAs

Implementation and Applications of IVAs
* software engineering issues
* real-time integrated systems
* portability and reuse
* standards / measures to support interoperability
* specialized tools, toolkits and tool chains
* specialized modelling and animation technologies
* applications in games, education, art, etc.
* delivery platforms: desktop, single vs. multi-user, virtual or
  augmented or mixed reality, robots
* future or current experience in various fields, e.g.: Interactive
  narrative and story-telling, computer games, art and entertainment,
  education and training, simulation and visualization


Special Topic: IVAs and Cognition: Conceptual Frameworks and Models
***Note that papers are expected to relate models discussed SPECIFICALLY
to IVAs**
* selecting a 'good' cognitive model for agents

DERNIER APPEL À CONTRIBUTIONS and EXTENSION DE DATE LIMITE

Numéro spécial sur les Entités Nommées et leurs relations

Direction :

Sophia Ananiadou (Sophia.ananiadou at manchester.ac.uk) 
Nathalie Friburger (nathalie.friburger at univ-tours.fr)
Sophie Rosset (sophie.rosset at limsi.fr)

Les entités nommées constituent un champ de recherche très actif depuis
de nombreuses années. Elles sont depuis longtemps considérées comme un
point central dans de nombreuses applications mettant en jeu des notions
comme la compréhension, la recherche sémantique, etc.

La notion d'Entités Nommées (EN) couvre non seulement les noms propres
mais aussi des entités plus complexes comme les expressions
multi-mots. Les entités nommées sont en général typées selon des
taxonomies plus ou moins vastes et fortement dépendantes du domaine
d'application ou des besoins considérés. Elles recouvrent classiquement
des noms désignant des personnes, des lieux ou des organisations mais
peuvent aussi se rapporter à des notions plus techniques comme les
maladies.

La détection des entités et de leurs relations, malgré de nombreuses
années de recherche, reste un problème difficile. Les principaux points
à résoudre incluent la résolution des ambiguïtés, la détection des
synonymes, la co-référence et la variabilité (acronymes, orthographe
etc.). Plusieurs méthodes ont été proposées et évaluées pour améliorer
la détection et la classification des entités ainsi que leurs
relations. Ces méthodes vont des approches fondées sur des connaissances
explicites (approches à base de règles, de lexiques, etc.) aux approches
à base d'apprentissage supervisé, faiblement supervisé voire non
supervisé.

L'évaluation des systèmes de détection des entités nécessite au minimum
l'existence de corpus de référence (gold standard). L'évaluation des
relations ajoute un niveau de complexité puisqu'il s'agit, le plus
souvent, d'une tâche complexe impliquant la détection des entités puis
des relations entre elles. Comment évaluer la détection des relations
dans le cadre d'une tâche complète ? Quelle métrique utiliser pour tenir
compte des erreurs de la tâche précédente (détection des EN) ?

Si les entités nommées simples permettent d'atteindre de bons voire de
très bons résultats, il n'en va pas de même lorsque leur définition est
complexe ou lorsqu'on traite des domaines spécialisés.

Nous invitons donc les contributions portant sur tout aspect relatif au
traitement des entités nommées, et en particulier (liste non exclusive)
:

* définition et typologie des entités nommées, y compris dans un sens
  étendu

* Détection des entités nommées et type de documents (résumés, articles,
  ressources collaboratives comme Wikipedia, domaine de spécialité,
  media sociaux comme twitter, emails, file de discussion, parole...)

* Détection des empans et analyse structurelle des EN

* Co-référence inter-documents et suivi d'entités

* Suivi d'entités à travers le temps, les groupes sociaux et
  géographiques, suivi d'entités intra- et inter-documents, etc.

* Reconnaissance d'entités nommées dans le domaine général ou en domaine
  de spécialité

* Guides et schémas d'annotation, outils, méthodes et corpus annotés

* Aspects multilingues, extraction d'entités dans des corpus
  comparables ou parallèles

* Désambiguïsation des entités

* Applications et entités

* Évaluation, comparaison et validation d'outils

LANGUE

ACL 2013 Workshop: PITR 2013
The Second Workshop on Predicting and Improving Text Readability for
Target Reader Populations
http://mcs.open.ac.uk/nlg/PITR2013/

Date of Workshop: 8 August, 2013

Deadline for submissions: April 28, 2013

The Second Workshop on Predicting and Improving Text Readability for
Target Reader Populations Workshop will be be held in conjunction with
the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) 2013 conference, 4 -
9 August, 2013, at the National Palace of Culture, Sofia, Bulgaria.


CALL FOR PAPERS
Many NLP systems generate or reformulate human language but how readable
is the output? What makes language easy or difficult to read for
different types of readers? How can existing text be manipulated to
improve information access? How does writing style affect readability,
comprehension, and appreciation of text? The last few years have seen a
resurgence of interest in these questions amongst computational
linguists as attention turns to more sophisticated techniques for
textual presentation and to address the widely differing needs of end
users. The relevance of this research area has spawned a number of
workshops on related topics, for example, SL-PAT 2012
(slpat.org<http://slpat.org/>) and NLP4ITA 2012
(www.taln.upf.edu/nlp4ita/<http://www.taln.upf.edu/nlp4ita/>), and a new
special interest group, Speech and Language Processing for Assistive
Technologies (slpat.org<http://slpat.org/>), which sponsors this
workshop.

PITR is a cross-disciplinary workshop bringing together researchers in
any field concerned with the readability, accessibility and quality of
text, particularly computational linguists, psycholinguists and
educational researchers. We solicit papers on:

 - Reformulation of existing text (text-to-text systems)
 - Generation of readable language from data (data-to-text systems)
 - Generation of text in specific styles and registers for readability
 - Evaluation of language simplification strategies
 - Evaluation of the readability of computer-generated text
 - Evaluation of the readability of machine translation output
 - Prediction of aspects of text style related to readability
 - Prediction of the readability of documents
 - Readability issues in specialist texts such as questionnaires, exam
   questions, safety instructions, etc.
 - Novel evaluation strategies for assessing text readability
 - Novel readability metrics
 - Techniques for simplifying lexis
 - Techniques for simplifying syntax
 - Techniques for simplifying discourse properties (making text more
   transparent, etc.)
 - Techniques for manipulating textual layout to improve accessibility
 - Techniques for making descriptions of numerical quantities more
   accessible
 - Techniques for making technical terminology more accessible
 - Techniques for making descriptions of logical statements more
   accessible
 - Techniques for explaining complex ideas through accessible text
 - Systems aimed at adults with poor literacy
 - Systems aimed at children learning to read
 - Systems aimed at 2nd language learners
 - Systems aimed at people with language deficits (aphasia, deafness,
   neurodegeneration, etc.)
 - Systems aimed at non-experts accessing technical material


SUBMISSIONS
Papers should prepared in ACL format (see
http://acl2013.org/site/call.html) not exceeding 8 pages in length plus
up to 2 additional pages for references. Papers should also be
anonymised for blind reviewing.

Please submit your paper via the online START Conference Manager system:
https://www.softconf.com/acl2013/PITR2013/

Some authors will be invited to give oral presentations. All accepted
authors will be expected to present a poster. Last year, the poster
session was very lively, giving poster-only authors and
oral-presentation authors ample opportunities to discuss their research.

ProLMF est une ressource libre de noms propres, au format d'échange LMF
(Lexical Markup Framework), qui a la particularité de rassembler des
noms propres, en s'intéressant aussi à la morphologie flexionnelle et
dérivationnelle de ces noms. Cette ressource est présentée et
téléchargeable sur le site du CNRTL (Centre national de ressources
textuelles et lexicales). Elle est issue du projet Prolex du Laboratoire
d'informatique de l'université François-Rabelais de Tours et, plus
particulièrement, de la base de données Prolexbase.

La version 1.2 corrige quelques erreurs de la version 1.1, contient des
entrées supplémentaires (en particulier grâce à des règles
d'aliasisation) et propose des nouveautés: quelques petits lexiques en
d'autres langues que le français et, en français, une indication sur la
présence ou non des articles et sur la préposition locative précédant
les noms de pays, ainsi que des schémas lexicaux de contextualisation,
concernant, soit le nom propre seul (Paris/la ville de Paris), soit le
nom propre en relation d'accessibilité avec un autre nom propre (Paris,
la capitale de la France).

En résumé, ProLMF 1.2 comporte : 
– un lexique français avec lemme, forme et sens pour chaque entrée
  lexicale, ainsi que des schémas de contextualisation ; 
– quelques petits lexiques (allemand, anglais, italien, néerlandais,
  polonais, portugais et serbe) avec uniquement lemme et sens ; 
– et une description au niveau multilingue avec des informations
  typologiques et, surtout, des relations entre noms propres (synonymie,
  méronymie et accessibilité).

Quelques chiffres: 
Nombre de langues : 8 
Nombre d'entrées lexicales en français : 73 029 
Nombre de pivots : 55 250 
Nombre de relations : 53 347 (2 977 accessibilités, 49 699 méronymies et
                              671 synonymies) 
Nombre de lemmes : 75 368 
Nombre de formes fléchies : 123 859 (78 449 noms, 9 543 adjectifs et 219
                                     préfixes)

Call for Course and Workshop Proposals

ESSLLI 2014

26th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information

Tuebingen, Germany

August 11-22, 2014

www.esslli2014.de

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

IMPORTANT DATES
===============

15 June 2013:      Proposal submission deadline
15 September 2013: Notification
1 June 2014:       Course material due


TOPICS AND FORMAT
=================

Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI'2014 are invited in all
areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computing and Information Sciences.
Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged.

Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions,
offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week.  Proposals for two-week
courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week
courses, e.g. as an introductory course followed by an advanced one.  In
such cases, the ESSLLI program committee reserves the right to accept
just one of the two proposals.

All instructional and organizational work at ESSLLI is performed
completely on a voluntary basis, so as to keep participation fees to a
minimum.  However, organizers and instructors have their registration
fees waved, and are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses up
to a level to be determined and communicated with the proposal
notification.  ESSLLI can only guarantee reimbursement for at most one
course/workshop organizer, and can not guarantee full reimbursement of
travel costs for lecturers or organizers from outside of Europe.  The
ESSLLI organizers would appreciate any help in controlling the School's
expenses by seeking complete coverage of travel and accommodation
expenses from other sources.


CATEGORIES
==========

Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories.

* FUNDAMENTAL COURSES *

Such courses are designed to present the basics of a research area, to
people with no prior knowledge in that area.  They should be of
elementary level, without prerequisites in the course's topic, though
possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the relevant
discipline.  They should enable researchers from related disciplines to
develop a level of comfort with the fundamental concepts and techniques
of the course's topic, thereby contributing to the interdisciplinary
nature of our research community.


* INTRODUCTORY COURSES *

Introductory courses are central to ESSLLI's mission.  They are intended
to introduce a research field to students, young researchers, and other
non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its basic
methods and techniques. Such courses should enable researchers from
related disciplines to develop some comfort and competence in the topic
considered.  Introductory courses in a cross-disciplinary area may
presuppose general knowledge of the related disciplines.


* ADVANCED COURSES *

Advanced courses are targeted primarily to graduate students who wish to
acquire a level of comfort and understanding in the current research of
a field.


* WORKSHOPS *

Workshops focus on specialized, usually topics of current
interest. Workshops organizers are responsible for soliciting papers and
selecting the workshop program. They are also responsible for publishing
proceedings if they decide to have proceedings.



PROPOSAL GUIDELINES
===================

Course and workshop proposals should follow closely the following
guidelines to ensure full consideration.

Each course may have no more than two instructors, and each workshop no
more than two organizers.  All instructors and organizers must possess a
PhD or equivalent degree by the submission deadline.

Course proposals should mention explicitly the intended course category.
Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the intended level,
for example as it relates to standard textbooks and monographs in the
area.  Proposals for advanced courses should specify the prerequisites
in detail.

Proposals must be submitted in PDF format via:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esslli2014

and include all of the following:

o Personal information for each proposer:
Name, affiliation, contact address, email, fax, homepage (optional)

o General proposal information: Title, category

o Contents information
*  Abstract of up to 150 words
*  Motivation and description (up to two pages)
*  Tentative outline
*  Expected level and prerequisites
*  Appropriate references
   (e.g. textbooks, monographs, proceedings, surveys)

o Practical information:
*  Relevant preceding meetings and events, if applicable
*  Potential external funding for participants

LAST CALL FOR PAPERS

The 8th International Workshop on Vocabularies, Ontologies and Rules for
the Enterprise and Beyond (VORTE 2013)

Co-located with the 17th IEEE International EDOC Conference?
Vancouver, BC, 9th-13th September, 2013


WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

The VORTE series of workshops is traditionally devoted to the topics of
vocabularies, ontologies and rules in the context of enterprise
systems. This year, the workshop takes a broader view and does not
target only enterprise systems, but also systems managing data on the
Web. In fact, there is a need to exploit unstructured data in the
enterprise, and on the Web in general, as the majority of Web content
and enterprise content remains unstructured. Thus, the challenge of
managing, extracting and structuring data is common to both worlds, and
solutions in one community will benefit the other.

Examples of topics covered by traditional VORTE research contributions
include the development and adaptation of foundational, business and
domain ontologies for the enterprise, the use of ontologies and rules in
all aspects of enterprise modeling such as business process management
and services, the enhancement of rules and services with formal
semantics, and the evaluation of such systems and approaches.

This year, the workshop is also a forum for the discussion of
ontology-based knowledge management issues, interoperability issues and
ontology engineering issues. The workshop also welcomes contributions on
initiatives related to semantic annotation, open linked data,
information extraction, ontology learning and update and ontology-based
knowledge management as well as empirical studies on these areas.

TOPICS

Knowledge management:
- Ontology and ontological methodologies in knowledge management and
  integration;
- Ontology engineering, learning and maintenance;
- Ontology integration and alignment;
- Ontology effectiveness and evaluation;

Web of Data:
- Ontology-based Semantic annotation
- Linked data-based semantic annotation
- Knowledge extraction including entity extraction and relationship
  extraction
- Knowledge retrieval based on Open linked data

Vocabularies and Ontologies for the enterprise:
- Ontology-driven representation of products, services, functionalities,
  design, processes;
- Ontologies for the know-how;
- Ontologies for corporate knowledge;
- Upper-level ontologies in the enterprise;
- Adaptation of ontologies for companies and organizations;

Conceptual and Enterprise Modeling:
- Ontological Foundations for Conceptual Modeling and Meta-modeling
- Ontology Design and maintenance for Conceptual Model Integration;
- Ontology-Based Conceptual Modeling Tools and Environments
- Ontologies and Enterprise Architecture Modeling
- Ontologies and Business Process Modeling
- Ontologies and Goal-Based Modeling
- Ontologies and Business Rules

Enterprise Semantic Interoperability:
- Web services, Semantic services
- Composition and Modularity
- Merging, Mapping and Alignment
- Ontology Language Interoperability
- Open linked data publishing and exploitation

Case studies and Evaluation:
- Practical issues in using ontologies in enterprises
- Real cases of successful/unsuccessful use of ontology in business
- From legacy systems to the new ontology-driven systems
- Practical issues in knowledge extraction and annotation
- Semantic annotation evaluation
- Ontology learning evaluation

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

We solicit two types of papers:

- Short papers (4 pages) discussing controversial issues in the field or
  describing interesting or thought-provoking ideas that are not yet
  fully developed; and

- Full papers (8-10 pages) describing more mature results

All submissions MUST conform to the two-column format of IEEE Computer
Society conference proceedings
(http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) and include the
author's name, affiliation, and contact details.

Papers must be submitted as PDF files using EasyChair at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vorte2013

All papers must not have been previously published or submitted
elsewhere.

The papers accepted for the EDOC 2013 Workshops will be published along
with EDOC proceedings in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. At least one
of the authors for each accepted paper must register for the main
conference (there will be no workshop-only registration at EDOC 2013)
and present their papers at the workshop.

Post-conference Journal Publication
For previous editions of the workshop, special issues have been
published in journals such as Applied Ontology (2007), IJBPIM (2007),
Elsevier's Information Systems (2008, 2010), and Journal of Research
Practice in Information Technology (2009).
This year, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended
versions of their papers for consideration for a special issue of a
reputable journal. The journal is to be determined.

-- Paper submission now open --

CALL FOR PAPERS

The SIGDIAL venue provides a regular forum for the presentation of
cutting edge research in discourse and dialog to both academic and
industry researchers. Continuing with a series of thirteen successful
previous meetings, this conference spans the research interest areas of
discourse and dialogue. The conference is sponsored by the SIGDIAL
organization, which serves as the Special Interest Group on discourse
and dialog for both ACL and ISCA.

Topics of Interest

We welcome formal, corpus-based, implementation or analytical work on
discourse and dialog including but not restricted to the following
themes and topics:

- Discourse Processing and Dialog Systems
- Corpora, Tools and Methodology
- Pragmatic and/or Semantic Modeling
- Dimensions of Interaction
- Applications of Dialog and Discourse Processing Technology

For a detailed list, see the complete list of topics of interest on the
SIGDIAL 2013 website.

Special Theme: Discourse and Dialogue in Social Media

Processing language in social media has attracted a noticeable amount of
interest in recent years. Language in this new kind of media offers many
opportunities and challenges, from the point of view of discourse and
dialogue. To start with, an astounding amount of conversational data is
created each day on Twitter and Facebook, but also on many
blogs. Additionally, social media provides a window into a variety of
human behaviors that rarely appear in the controlled data sets our
community is accustomed to work with. We invite submissions on all
aspects of discourse and dialogue processing of language as used in a
variety of social media platforms, from Twitter and Facebook, to any
type of blogs, micro-blogs, collaborative wikis, and multimedia sharing
sites. We particularly welcome contributions that highlight new insights
into discourse and dialogue phenomena in this new genre, or describe new
discourse and dialogue processing models emerging from it.

INVITED SPEAKERS

Dr Jerome R. Bellegarda, Apple Inc, USA
Prof Bonnie L. Webber, University of Edinburgh, UK

SUBMISSIONS

The program committee welcomes the submission of long papers, short
papers, and demo descriptions. All accepted submissions will be
published in the conference proceedings.

Long papers will be presented in full plenary presentations. They must
be no longer than 8 pages, including title, content, and examples. Two
additional pages are allowed for references and appendices, which may
include extended example discourses or dialogs, algorithms, graphical
representations, etc.

Short papers will be featured in short plenary presentations, followed
by posters. They should be no longer than 4 pages, including title and
content. One additional page is allowed for references and appendices.

Demonstrations will be presented in special sessions, separate from
short paper presentations and poster sessions. Demo descriptions will
appear in a dedicated section of the proceedings and should be no longer
than 3 pages, including references. To encourage late breaking demos,
demo submissions have a later deadline.

Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or
publications must provide this information (see submission
format). SIGDIAL 2013 cannot accept for publication or presentation work
that will be (or has been) published elsewhere, except for
demonstrations. Any questions regarding submissions can be sent to the
technical program co-chairs at program-chairs[at]sigdial.org.

Authors are encouraged to submit additional supportive material such as
video clips or sound clips and examples of available resources for
review purposes.

Submission is electronic using paper submission software at
https://www.softconf.com/d/sigdial2013/

FORMAT

All long, short, and demo submissions should follow the two-column ACL
2013 format. We strongly recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or
Microsoft Word style files tailored for the ACL 2013
conference. Submissions must conform to the official ACL 2013 style
guidelines (http://acl2013.org/site/call.html), and they must be
electronic in PDF. As in most previous years, submissions will not be
anonymous.

MENTORING SERVICE

For several years, the SIGDIAL conference has offered a mentoring
service. Submissions with innovative core ideas that may need language
(English) or organizational assistance will be flagged for "mentoring"
and conditionally accepted with recommendation to revise with a
mentor. An experienced mentor who has previously published in the
SIGDIAL venue will then help the authors of these flagged papers prepare
their submissions for publication. Any questions about the mentoring
service can be addressed to the mentoring chair, Dr. Kallirroi Georgila,
at kgeorgila[at]ict.usc.edu.

===========================================================
Second International Conference on Dependency Linguistics
                     DepLing 2013

       http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/project/depling13/
===========================================================
                Final Call for Papers
===========================================================

DepLing 2013 will be held at the Faculty of Mathematics
and Physics, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic
on August 27-30, 2013.
The conference is organized by the Institute of Formal
and Applied Linguistics.

DepLing 2013 is the second conference in the DepLing series
(the first was held in Barcelona, Spain in 2011).
The series responds to the growing need for linguistic
meetings dedicated to syntactic, semantic and lexicographic
approaches that are centered around dependency as a central
notion.

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

   EXTENDED Submission deadline: April 22, 2013
   Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2013
   Camera-ready copy of papers due: June 17, 2013
   Depling Conference: August 27-31, 2013

============================================================
                Proceedings Publication
============================================================

In addition to the electronic version, there will be a hard
copy version of the Proceedings published by the MATFYZPRESS
(with the ISBN) available to the conference participants
at the registration. The papers accepted for the conference
will be indexed by the ACL Anthology.

============================================================
                        Topics
============================================================

Topics include, but are not limited to:

- The use of dependency trees in syntactic analysis,
description, formalization, parsing, generation, and corpus
annotation of written and spoken texts.
- The use of semantic valency-based predicate and actancy
graph structures and their link to classical logic.
- The elaboration of formal dictionaries for dependency-based
syntax and semantics, including descriptions of collocations
and paradigmatic relations.
- Links to morphology and linearization of dependency
structures, using for example topological field theories
- Dependency-like structures beyond the sentence as annotation
scheme for discourse phenomena.
- The description and formalization of semantic and pragmatic
phenomena related to information structure.
- History, epistemology, and psycholinguistic relevance
of dependency grammar, including its relation to generative
approaches to language

We are also interested in work on issues such as:

- What are the differences and similarities between theta
roles, valencies, f-structures, TAG derivation trees,
(subcategorization) frames, semantic role labelling, etc?
- Which corpus annotations using head-daughter relations
on words are formally and linguistically equivalent,
which are not?
- How to describe syntax-semantic interfaces between
dependency structures?

============================================================
              Papers format and submission
============================================================

The EXTENDED deadline for the submissions is April 22, 2013.

E. W. Beth Dissertation Prize: 2013 call for nominations

Since 2002, FoLLI (the Association for Logic, Language, and Information,
http://institucional.us.es/folliweb/) awards the E.W. Beth Dissertation
Prize to outstanding dissertations in the fields of Logic, Language, and
Information. We invite submissions for the best dissertation which
resulted in a Ph.D. degree in the year 2012. The dissertations will be
judged on technical depth and strength, originality, and impact made in
at least two of three fields of Logic, Language, and
Computation. Interdisciplinarity is an important feature of the theses
competing for the E.W. Beth Dissertation Prize.

Who qualifies.

Nominations of candidates are admitted who were awarded a Ph.D. degree
in the areas of Logic, Language, or Information between January 1st,
2012 and December 31st, 2012. There is no restriction on the nationality
of the candidate or the university where the Ph.D. was granted. After a
careful consideration, FoLLI has decided to accept only dissertations
written in English. Dissertations produced in 2012 but not written in
English or not translated will be allowed for submission, after
translation, also with the call next year (for dissertations defended in
2013). The present call for nominations for the E.W. Beth Disertation
Award 2013 will also accept nominations of full English translations of
theses originally written in another language than English and defended
in 2011 or 2012.

Prize.

The prize consists of:

- a certificate

- a donation of 2500 euros provided by the E.W. Beth Foundation

- an invitation to submit the thesis (or a revised version of it) to the
  FoLLI Publications on Logic, Language and Information (Springer). For
  further information on this series see the FoLLI site.

How to submit.

Only electronic submissions are accepted. The following documents are
required:

1. The thesis in pdf format (ps/doc/rtf not accepted);

2. A ten page abstract of the dissertation in pdf format;

3. A letter of nomination from the thesis supervisor. Self-nominations
are not admitted: each nomination must be sponsored by the thesis
supervisor. The letter of nomination should concisely describe the scope
and significance of the dissertation and state when the degree was
officially awarded;

4. Two additional letters of support, including at least one letter from
a referee not affiliated with the academic institution that awarded the
Ph.D. degree.

All documents must be submitted electronically (preferably as a zip
file) to buszko at amu.edu.pl. Hard copy submissions are not admitted. In
case of any problems with the email submission or a lack of notification
within three working days, nominators should write to buszko at amu.edu.pl.

Cet atelier a pour objectif de réunir les travaux traitant d'une part,
des problématiques liées aux sources ouvertes hétérogènes et
indépendantes, et d'autre part, des problématiques concernant les liens
sémantiques pouvant exister entre les données structurées afin de
faciliter leur exploitation et leur intégration via le Web de
données. Il s'agira de la fusion de la quatrième édition de l'atelier
SOS (Sources Ouvertes et Services, précédemment en association avec
RFIA'2010, EGC'2011 et EGC'2012) et de la seconde édition de l'atelier
DLWD (Données Liées pour un Web de Données, précédemment en association
avec EGC'2012). Cette nouvelle édition fait suite à l'atelier
SOS-DLWD'2012, organisé dans le cadre de la conférence EGC 2012.

Cet atelier s'organisera en deux sessions complémentaires :

* Session 1 : Sources Ouvertes et Services (SOS)
* Session 2 : Données Liées pour un Web de Données (DLWD)

Cet atelier vise à rassembler des chercheurs issus des mondes académique
et industriel.

Thèmes développés (liste non limitative)
==============================
=

* Identification, et découverte automatique de sources d’information,
* Accès et collecte d’information à partir de sources ouvertes (Web,
  réseaux sociaux, flux RSS, etc.),
* Classification, filtrage des informations d’intérêt,
* Extraction d’information à partir de textes non structurés et/ou
  utilisant des vocabulaires spécifiques (blogs, langage sms, forums,
  etc.), à partir de gros volumes de données multimédia (texte, image,
  vidéo, audio),
* Analyse des sentiments/opinions dans les médias sociaux (réseaux
  sociaux, blogs, forums, etc.),
* Modélisation et capitalisation des connaissances extraites à partir de
  sources ouvertes (ontologies, annotations sémantiques, etc.),

Statistical Topic Modeling of Large Text Corpora

Abstract: Statistical topic models (also known as latent Dirichlet
allocation models) provide a flexible framework for extracting
interpretable descriptions of large corpora of text documents. This talk
will begin by reviewing the basic principles of topic models and discuss
how these models are related to other approaches such as latent semantic
analysis, matrix factorization techniques, and document clustering. We
will illustrate how topic models can be used to address problems such as
generating high-level summaries of document collections and
automatically uncovering thematic trends in a corpus over time.  The
talk will also discuss recent extensions of topic modeling techniques
such as using topic models for document classification and scalable
algorithms for large corpora. Time permitting, we will also discuss how
these types of models can be applied to data with relational
information, such as social network data involving text content. A
number of different text data sets will be used during the talk as
illustrative examples, including news articles, historical newspaper
records, scientific publications, and collections of email data.

DEADLINE EXTENSION: Friday, April 26, 2013

International Workshop on Definitions in Ontologies (DO 2013)
July 7, 2013

At ICBO 2013 (International Conference on Biomedical Ontologies)
Montreal, Canada

Website: http://definitionsinontologies.weebly.com/ 

Ontologies built using OBO Foundry principles are advised to include
both formal (logical) definitions, as well as natural language
definitions. Depending on the effort, one or the other can be
underrepresented. Possible explanations to this bottleneck are the high
cost of producing well-written definitions; an insufficient
understanding of the nature of natural language definitions or of logic;
the lack of an operational theory of definitions; the lack of studies
that evaluate usability and effectiveness of definitions in ontologies;
a paucity of tools to help with definition authoring and
checking. Producing natural language definitions is time-consuming,
costly and prone to all kinds of inconsistencies. Producing logical
definitions that are effective, correct, and communicative is also
difficult. It is therefore worth exploring different ways of assisting,
with automation, creation and quality control of definitions.

This workshop gathers interested researchers and developers to reflect
upon general themes as the selection and modeling of defining
information; the relation between definitions in specific domains as
opposed to domain-independent definitions; the theoretical underpinnings
of definitions; tools that can facilitate relating logical and natural
language definitions. In addition, we would want to encourage
participation by different communities using definitions so that their
needs can be exposed. 

FORMAT AND OUTCOMES

The workshop will consist of two parts. First, selected presentations of
short papers from attendees. Second, a guided discussion based on the
participants’ suggestions. This discussion is aimed at synthetizing and
prioritizing defining practices. All papers should end with a suggestion
on the defining practices or users’ needs regarding definitions.  We
will, based on the presentations and discussion, collect a list of
recommendations relating to definitions in ontologies to be posted on
the workshop’s website.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

We solicit participation from developers and users from all around the
world and different linguistic communities in the areas of ontology,
natural language processing, information retrieval, logics, philosophy,
terminology and lexicology. We want to encourage participation of
ontologists and tool developers building ontology authoring tools;
philosophers and logicians who can shed light on the issues in creating
definitions; biomedical researchers interested in the role of
definitions in nomenclatures such as SNOMED; computer scientists
interested in the treatment of definitions in the framework of languages
like OWL; terminologists and lexicologists working on definitions and
their modeling; NLP researchers working on definition extraction
techniques or on information retrieval methods for definition
production; and NLP/IR researchers reusing definitions produced for
ontologies. 

TOPICS

Topics of interest are split between foundational aspects, pragmatic
issues and user perspectives. Below we list some possible topics.

===== Foundational aspects =======================

  * Theories of definition and their implications for the defining
    practice
  * Realist versus conceptualist approaches in definition writing
  * Definition modeling: what kinds of information are defining
  * Domain-independent versus domain-specific definition models
  * Formal versus natural language definitions

===== Pragmatic issues ===========================

  * Quality control in definitions
  * Ways of evaluating definitions
  * Comparison and evaluation of different definition production
    techniques: handwritten, automatically generated from formal
    definitions, extracted from corpora or constructed from information
    retrieved from corpora
  * Methods and tools to automate definition production and checking
  * (Multilingual) definition generation
  * Information retrieval for definition production
  * Use of definition models to facilitate information retrieval
  * Definition extraction from corpora
  * Interactions between ontologies and lexical resources (WordNet, FrameNet)
  * Consequences/Strategies of giving necessary versus necessary and
    sufficient definitions, or simply sufficient definitions
  * Coordination of logical and textual definitions
  * Alternatives to and variants of definitions: elucidations,
    explanations, glosses, figures

===== User perspectives ==========================

  * Assessment of definitions used in current practice
  * Balancing needs of within discipline use and wider use of
    definitions
  * Use of specialized terminology versus general vocabulary
  * Presentation of definitions to different user audiences
  * Alternatives/Augmentations of textual definitions, such as figures
    and images for anatomy, where textual definitions may be harder to
    formulate

CALL FOR PAPERS
DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL April 28th

The 8th International Workshop on Vocabularies, Ontologies and Rules for
the Enterprise and Beyond (VORTE 2013)

Co-located with the 17th IEEE International EDOC Conference?
Vancouver, BC, 9th-13th September, 2013


WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

The VORTE series of workshops is traditionally devoted to the topics of
vocabularies, ontologies and rules in the context of enterprise
systems. This year, the workshop takes a broader view and does not
target only enterprise systems, but also systems managing data on the
Web. In fact, there is a need to exploit unstructured data in the
enterprise, and on the Web in general, as the majority of Web content
and enterprise content remains unstructured. Thus, the challenge of
managing, extracting and structuring data is common to both worlds, and
solutions in one community will benefit the other.

Examples of topics covered by traditional VORTE research contributions
include the development and adaptation of foundational, business and
domain ontologies for the enterprise, the use of ontologies and rules in
all aspects of enterprise modeling such as business process management
and services, the enhancement of rules and services with formal
semantics, and the evaluation of such systems and approaches.

This year, the workshop is also a forum for the discussion of
ontology-based knowledge management issues, interoperability issues and
ontology engineering issues. The workshop also welcomes contributions on
initiatives related to semantic annotation, open linked data,
information extraction, ontology learning and update and ontology-based
knowledge management as well as empirical studies on these areas.

TOPICS

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

We solicit two types of papers:

- Short papers (4 pages) discussing controversial issues in the field or
  describing interesting or thought-provoking ideas that are not yet
  fully developed; and
- Full papers (8-10 pages) describing more mature results

All submissions MUST conform to the two-column format of IEEE Computer
Society conference proceedings
(http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) and include the
author's name, affiliation, and contact details.

Papers must be submitted as PDF files using EasyChair at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vorte2013

All papers must not have been previously published or submitted
elsewhere.

The papers accepted for the EDOC 2013 Workshops will be published along
with EDOC proceedings in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. At least one
of the authors for each accepted paper must register for the main
conference (there will be no workshop-only registration at EDOC 2013)
and present their papers at the workshop.

Post-conference Journal Publication
For previous editions of the workshop, special issues have been
published in journals such as Applied Ontology (2007), IJBPIM (2007),
Elsevier's Information Systems (2008, 2010), and Journal of Research
Practice in Information Technology (2009).
This year, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended

One day Workshop on Continuous Vector Space Models and their 
Compositionality (CVSC)
Co-located with ACL 2013, Sofia, Bulgaria

************************************************************************
(Apologies for multiple postings)

This is the last Call for Papers. The dead line is next Friday and the
submission site is now open (https://www.softconf.com/acl2013/CVSC2013/)


In recent years, there has been a growing interest in algorithms that
learn and use continuous representations for words, phrases, or
documents in many natural language processing applications. Among many
others, two influential proposals illustrate this trend: latent
Dirichlet allocation and neural network based language models. These
approaches are motivated by improving the generalization power of the
discrete standard models, by dealing with the data sparsity issue and by
efficiently handling a wide context.  Despite the success of single word
vector space models, they are limited since they do not capture
compositionality. This prevents them from gaining a deeper understanding
of the semantics of longer phrases or sentences.

Another different trend of research on continuous vector space models
belongs to the family of spectral methods. The motivation in that
context is that working in a continuous space allows for the design of
algorithms that are not plagued with the local minima issues that
discrete latent space models tend to suffer from.


In this workshop, we invite submissions of papers on continuous vector
space models for natural language processing. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

* learning algorithms for continuous vector space models,
* their compositionality,
* their use in NLP applications,
* spectral learning for NLP,
* neural networks for NLP,
* latent Dirichlet allocation and other continuous representations of
  documents
* tensor models
* distributed semantic representations

INVITED SPEAKERS

There will be two invited speakers Mirella Lapata and Xavier Carreras,
and a panel discussion lead by Chris Manning.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Authors should submit a full paper of up to 8 pages in electronic, PDF
format, with up to 2 additional pages for references. The reported
research should be substantially original. The papers will be presented
orally or as posters.

All submissions must be in PDF format and must follow the ACL 2013
formatting requirements (available at the ACL 2013 website). We strongly

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the release of the open source term extractor
*BioYaTeA.*
It is now available on CPAN: 
http://search.cpan.org/~bibliome/Lingua-BioYaTeA/ 

Description:
BioYaTeA is a version of the YaTeA term extractor
(http://search.cpan.org/~thhamon/Lingua-YaTeA/ ) that has been adapted
for term extraction in the biology domain.  The extracted terms contain
noun and adjective phrases. The method is based on a morpho-syntactic
analysis and shallow parsing.  The innovative aspect of BioYaTeA is its
ability to handle participles and prepositional phrases and to filter
out irrelevant terms.  BioYaTeA has been shown to improve the accuracy
of information extraction in the BioNL-ST'11 BB Shared Task
(http://2013.bionlp-st.org/supporting-resources).

BioYaTeA takes as input POS-tagged text in TreeTagger or GeniaTagger
format.
The output is in the XML-BioYaTeA format. BioYaTeA also computes the
term position, its syntactic structure and its subterms.

For further details on the linguistic principles and the evaluation of
BioYaTeA, please consult the following paper, which will soon be
available online:

NEW: Revised Submission deadline: May 10th 2013 for the shared task, May
3rd 2013 for all other LAW & ID papers.

Workshop overview
-----------------
Linguistic annotation of natural language corpora is the backbone of
supervised methods for statistical natural language processing. It also
provides valuable data for evaluation of both rule-based and supervised
systems and can help formalize and study linguistic phenomena.

The LAW provides a forum for presentation and discussion of innovative
research on all aspects of linguistic annotation, including
creation/evaluation of annotation schemes, methods for automatic and
manual annotation, use and evaluation of annotation software and
frameworks, representation of linguistic data and annotations, etc. This
year, a significant part of the workshop will focus on the special theme
of Interoperability with Discourse.

Workshop Theme
--------------
We encourage submission of papers relating to this year's theme,
Interoperability with Discourse. We are particularly interested in the
comparison and interoperability of different models and techniques used
for and in conjunction with discourse annotation, focusing on any of the
following goals:

(a) Creation of new insights within the field of discourse (by
    juxtaposing two or more points of view as reflected by different
    annotation schemes or annotation techniques).

(b) Fostering interoperability between pragmatic and semantic phenomena
    in discourse, ranging from functional categories (e.g. methods,
    results, hypotheses,etc.) to traditional discourse relations
    (connectives, anaphora, metonymies, etc.)

(c) Connecting syntactic, semantic and pragmatic layers of annotation.

(d) Working towards a framework, representation standards, tools and
    methods that will allow the integration and co-existence of current
    and future discourse-related annotation schemes.

Workshop Challenge
------------------
This year's workshop continues the tradition of the LAW Challenge,
established last year, which provides funding for travel etc. to the
individual or team that best meets a set of criteria. This year, the
judges will give special consideration to papers closely related to the
workshop theme, i.e., (1) integrating functional discourse annotation
from one or more corpora with other types of annotation; and (2)
demonstrating how interoperability can increase the understanding of the
discourse. However, all papers addressing annotation interoperability or
integration will be considered. For further information, please visit
http://nactem.ac.uk/law7-id/.

Submission Information
----------------------
The papers should report original and unpublished research on topics of
interest for the workshop. Accepted papers are expected to be presented
at the workshop, and will be published in the workshop proceedings. They
should emphasize obtained results rather than intended work, and should
indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results.

A paper accepted for presentation at the workshop must not be presented
or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available
proceedings.

Submissions must be in PDF and formatted using the ACL 2013 style files,
available at http://www.linguistics.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/law7-id/.

The maximum length is eight (8) pages of content for long papers or four
(4) pages of content for short papers, posters, and demonstrations, plus
up to two (2) pages of references.

Reviewing of papers will be double-blind. Therefore, the paper must not
include the authors' names and affiliations, and self-references that
reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991)
..." should be replaced with citations such as "Smith (1991) previously
showed ...". Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be
rejected without review.

Authors of papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings
or publications must provide this information on the START online
submission page. Authors of accepted papers must notify the program
chairs within 10 days of acceptance if the paper is withdrawn for any
reason.

Submission site: https://www.softconf.com/acl2013/LAWVII-ID/.

Submission deadline: 3 May 2013, 23:59 GMT (papers); 10 May 2013, 23:59
GMT (shared task). Papers submitted after the deadline will not be
reviewed.

*Linguistique et Traitement Automatique des Langues pour l'Aéronautique
et l'Espace : Dimensions langagières du risque***

2 Juillet 2013, Université Toulouse 2 Le Mirail

Atelier organisé par le laboratoire CLLE (UMR 5263) et l'Université
Toulouse 2 le Mirail, avec le soutien du Réseau Thématique de Recherche
Avancé « Sciences et Technologies pour l'Aéronautique et l'Espace » et
le parrainage du Pôle de Compétitivité Aerospace.

** (English version below)

Dans les dix dernières années, de nombreux projets se sont mis en place
en linguistique appliquée comme en traitement automatique des langues
pour favoriser une meilleure gestion de la communication dans les
domaines "risqués". L'aéronautique et le spatial relèvent de ces
domaines dans la mesure où des vies humaines sont impliquées et des
sommes d'argent colossales sont investies. Quelle soit orale ou écrite,
la communication dans ces domaines se fait la plupart du temps au moyen
de la langue naturelle. Or, la langue n'est pas un moyen de transmission
d'information parfait. En effet, elle fonctionne avec de l'implicite,
des ambiguïtés, du flou, elle fait appel à des connaissances supposées
partagées, etc. Par ailleurs, la production d'une masse pléthorique de
documents non structurés constitue un frein à l'exploitation des
informations qui s'y trouvent exprimées.

Pour pallier ces difficultés, les travaux s'orientent majoritairement
dans quatre directions :

- Proposer des guides de rédaction (par exemple la norme AECMA) ou
  d'échanges conversationnels (la phraséologie de l'OACI).

- Développer des outils d'aide à la rédaction ou à la vérification de
  cohérence des données textuelles; ces outils étant la plupart du temps
  basés sur des normes langagières, comme AECMA, par exemple.

- Créer des procédures de catégorisation des données langagières pour
  normaliser et structurer l'information et faciliter ainsi l'accès au
  contenu (recours à des taxonomies et des ontologies).

- Développer des outils d'extraction d'information qui s'appliquent à
  différents types de documents : retour d'expériences, manuels de
  construction, spécifications, etc.

Malgré l'importance des activités réalisées autour de cette question,
les aspects langagiers constituent une dimension du risque qui
estrarement interrogée et problématisée en tant que telle. L'objectif de
l'atelier est de faire se rencontrer des chercheurs en linguistique,
traitement automatique des langues et ingénierie des connaissances et
des professionnels de l'aéronautique et du spatial afin de présenter un
panorama des besoins et des réponses qui peuvent être faites en matière
de gestion de la dimension langagière du risque.

17h45-18h15 : Discussion et Conclusion

[Over the last 10 years, many applied linguistics projects have been
undertaken such as natural-language processing to improve the management
of communication in "risk-related" fields.

Aeronautics and Space are concerned to the extent that human lives are
involved and huge amounts of money are invested in them. Whether it be
oral or written, communication in these fields mostly involves natural
language. Now natural language is not a perfect means for sharing
information in that it involves implicit knowledge, ambiguity, illogical
reasoning and draws on knowledge which is assumed to be shared, etc.
Furthermore, the production of a huge mass of unstructured documents
makes it more difficult to exploit the information they contain.

To overcome these drawbacks, current research mostly involves one of the
four following approaches:

- proposing author guidance (for example the AECMA standard) or
  conversation-type exchanges (the standard phrases drawn up by the
  OACI).

- developing writing-assistance tools or tools for checking the
  consistency of textual data; these tools are generally based on
  natural-language standards, such as that of AECMA, for instance.

- creating procedures for classifying language-based data in order to
  standardise and structure information and thus facilitate access to
  content (use of taxonomies and ontologies).

- developing tools for extracting information which can be used for
  different types of documents : feedback on experiments, construction
  manuals, specifications, etc.

In spite of the importance of the activities which are affected by this
issue, the fact that natural language is part of the risk involved is
rarely brought into question no ris it treated as a specific issue. The
purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the fields
of linguistics, natural-language processing and knowledge engineering
with Aeronautics and Space professionals in order to review all of their
requirements and find solutions for managing the language-based aspects
of risk.]

Affective and Cognitive Learning Systems for Big Social Data
Analysis. For more/up-to-date info, please visit

ABSTRACT
As the Web rapidly evolves, Web users are evolving with it. In an era of
social connectedness, people are becoming more and more enthusiastic
about interacting, sharing, and collaborating through social networks,
online communities, blogs, Wikis, and other online collaborative
media. In recent years, this collective intelligence has spread to many
different areas, with particular focus on fields related to everyday
life such as commerce, tourism, education, and health, causing the size
of the Web to expand exponentially. The distillation of knowledge from
such a large amount of unstructured information, however, is an
extremely difficult task, as the contents of today's Web are perfectly
suitable for human consumption, but remain hardly accessible to
machines. The opportunity to capture the opinions of the general public
about social events, political movements, company strategies, marketing
campaigns, and product preferences has raised growing interest both
within the scientific community, leading to many exciting open
challenges, as well as in the business world, due to the remarkable
benefits to be had from marketing and financial market
prediction. Existing approaches to opinion mininig mainly rely on parts
of text in which sentiment is explicitly expressed, e.g., through
polarity terms or affect words (and their co-occurrence
frequencies). However, opinions and sentiments are often conveyed
implicitly through latent semantics, which make purely syntactical
approaches ineffective. In this light, this special issue focuses on the
introduction, presentation, and discussion of novel techniques that
further develop and apply big data analysis tools and techniques for
sentiment analysis. A key motivation for this special issue, in
particular, is to explore the adoption of novel affective and cognitive
learning systems to go beyond a mere word-level analysis of natural
language text and provide novel concept-level tools and techniques that
allow a more efficient passage from (unstructured) natural language to
(structured) machine-processable data, in potentially any domain.


TOPICS
Articles are thus invited in areas such as machine learning, weakly
supervised learning, active learning, transfer learning, deep neural
networks, novel neural and cognitive models, data mining, pattern
recognition, knowledge-based systems, information retrieval, natural
language processing, and big data computing. Topics include, but are not
limited to:

- Machine learning for big social data analysis
- Biologically inspired opinion mining
- Semantic multidimensional scaling for sentiment analysis
- Social media marketing
- Social media analysis, representation, and retrieval
- Social network modeling, simulation, and visualization
- Concept-level opinion and sentiment analysis
- Patient opinion mining
- Sentic computing
- Multilingual sentiment analysis
- Time-evolving sentiment tracking
- Cross-domain evaluation
- Domain adaptation for sentiment classification
- Multimodal sentiment analysis
- Multimodal fusion for continuous interpretation of semantics
- Human-agent, -computer, and -robot interaction
- Affective common-sense reasoning
- Cognitive agent-based computing
- Image analysis and understanding
- User profiling and personalization
- Affective knowledge acquisition for sentiment analysis

The special issue also welcomes papers on specific application domains
of big social data analysis, e.g., influence networks, customer
experience management, intelligent user interfaces, multimedia
management, computer-mediated human-human communication, enterprise
feedback management, surveillance, art. The authors will be required to
follow the Author's Guide for manuscript submission to Elsevier Neural
Networks.

SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS
The Elsevier Neural Networks special issue on Affective and Cognitive
Learning Systems for Big Social Data Analysis will consist of papers on
novel methods and techniques that further develop and apply big data
analysis tools and techniques in the context of opinion mining and
sentiment analysis. Some papers may survey various aspects of the
topic. The balance between these will be adjusted to maximize the
issue's impact. All articles are expected to successfully negotiate the
standard review procedures for Elsevier Neural Networks.

BioASQ challenge on large-scale biomedical semantic indexing and
question answering
(BioASQ workshop collocated with CLEF 2013 in Valencia, Spain on
September 27, 2013)

Web site: http://bioasq.org/
twitter: https://twitter.com/bioasq

The first task of the BioASQ challenge (Task1a: Large-scale online
biomedical semantic indexing) is starting on Monday 22th of April, 2013.
To make the participation to the task easier, we have divided it into
three consecutive periods (batches) of 6 weekly tests each. Separate
winners will be announced for each batch. Participation in the task can
be partial, i.e. in some of the batches and some of the weekly tests.

Prizes will be awarded to the winners of each batch. Check the following 
page for more information: http://www.bioasq.org/participate/prizes

Each week, a new test set will be released. After downloading the test 
set, participants will have to respond in limited time with the indexes 
of the MeSH terms that their systems estimated.

Registration to the task is open and will remain open until the end of 
the challenge in August. In order to registr and participate, please 
visit the BioASQ participants area: http://bioasq.lip6.fr/

Important dates:
April 22, 2013: Start of task 1a. First batch
June 3, 2013: Second batch
July 15, 2013: Third batch
August 26, 2013: End of task 1a
September 27, 2013: BioASQ Workshop (collocated with CLEF 2013)

Good luck from the BioASQ team!

The BioASQ challenge and workshop are organised by the BioASQ project,

Cet atelier se veut avant tout un espace de travail, de débat et
d'échanges sur un thème à la fois porteur et encore trop peu exploré.  A
ce titre, les soumissions sous forme de prise de position, argumentaire
d'opinion, discussion de question ouverte, défrichage de problématique,
etc., sont particulièrement encouragées.


PRÉSENTATION DU CHAMP THÉMATIQUE

Après des années de succès des méthodes quantitatives (statistiques,
apprentissage) en traitement automatique des langues, on constate que
les méthodes symboliques comme les grammaires formelles ou la logique
sont tout aussi indispensables à certaines tâches de traitement
automatique des langues. Réciproquement, les méthodes formelles peinent
à passer à l’échelle sans que les probabilités viennent aider à lever
les ambiguïtés, à faire certains choix et à rendre compte des
préférences. L’analyse symbolique gagne aussi en rapidité à s’aider
d’informations statistiques. L’objet de cet atelier est précisément de
présenter des travaux actuels, sur l’analyse syntaxique et sémantique du
français, qui combinent nouvellement méthodes symboliques et
statistiques. Cet atelier sera aussi un forum où discuter des mérites
respectifs des méthodes statistiques et symboliques et de leur
enrichissement mutuel.

C'est pourquoi nous encourageons les exposés de prise de position,
surtout si elles s'appuient sur des questions particulières. 
Nous donnons ci-après quelques exemples de travaux où ces différentes
méthodes sont combinées. 

  - En recherche d’information, ne pas traiter la négation et sa portée
    peut poser problème. S’il s’agit de détecter des catastrophes
    naturelles, un tweet comme « Il y a du vent, mais ce n’est pas un
    ouragan. » pourra être erronément interprété comme une catastrophe
    naturelle alors qu’il n’y en a pas

  - Si on se pose la question : « Geach était-il l’élève de Wittgenstein
    ? » il sera malaisé de répondre. Hormis Wikipédia, il y a peu de
    textes sur Geach, et une analyse profonde prenant en compte négation
    et anaphores est requise pour inférer la réponse à partir de :   «
    Bien qu’il n’ait jamais suivi l’enseignement académique de ce
    dernier, cependant il en éprouva fortement l’influence. »

  - Après des années de traduction automatique symbolique, la traduction
    automatique statistique, basé sur des alignements bilingues, est
    devenue tellement efficace qu’on en a oublié le triangle de Vauquois
    (analyse de la langue source, langage pivot, génération dans la
    langue cible). Néanmoins, l'utilisation simultanée de règles, par
    exemple l'utilisation de grammaires d'arbres probabiliste ou
    l'utilisation de statistiques dans l'analyse et la génération
    constituent des directions actuelles et prometteuses.

 - Dans une tâche de reconstruction d’itinéraires à partir de récits de
   voyages la recherche d’information peut permettre de trouver les
   paragraphes pertinents, mais il faut ensuite une analyse syntaxique
   et sémantique profonde pour inférer le chemin suivi à partir de
   phrases comme : « Le chemin pavé de calcaire et de pierres luisantes
   (...) serpente à travers fourrés de buis et de noisetiers. Puis, cinq
   minutes nous conduisent à un petit pont (...) qui nous porte sur la
   rive droite.»

  - Les problèmes relatifs à la gradience syntaxique, notamment
    l'association d'une structure syntaxique cohérente à un énoncé
    non-canonique (shallow parsing, robust parsing, forêt d'analyses
    partielles, correction grammaticale, etc.), ou la pondération de
    contraintes grammaticales, sont abordés tant par des approches
    quantitatives, que par des approches symboliques. Les techniques
    d'approximation qui sous-tendent ces deux approches sont de natures
    différentes, et gagneraient à être combinées.

  - Les grammaires syntaxiques (et syntaxico-sémantiques) sont souvent
    acquises automatiquement à partir de corpus annotés avec ou sans
    statistiques. Elles comportent alors un grand nombre de catégories,
    d’arbres, de graphes par mot. Il est donc quasi obligatoire de ne
    pas analyser la phrase avec toutes les assignations possible de
    catégories, mais seulement avec les plus probables dans le contexte
    de la phrase. Le gain en complexité est flagrant, il peut être
    divisé par quarante !

  - La sémantique distributionnelle, par vecteurs de mots issus de
    fréquences en corpus ou dans les dictionnaires, permet de lever les
    ambiguïtés syntaxiques et sémantiques de portées, de rattachement
    prépositionnel, de sens lexical… Elle se rapproche ainsi de la
    sémantique compositionnelle, qu’elle vient optimiser en suggérant
    des préférences pour analyser des rattachements prépositionnels « Il
    regarde la fille avec des lunettes noires. / Il écoute la fille avec
    des lunettes noires. / Il regarde la route avec des lunettes
    noires. » ou choisir un sens lexical « Cet avocat était véreux. Il a
    ruiné son client sans le défendre. / Cet avocat était véreux. Tu
    n’aurais pas dû le mettre dans la salade. »

Les travaux devront apporter un élément nouveau, que ce soit un modèle
symbolique qui se trouve inhabituellement enrichi de techniques
statistiques, ou que les méthodes statistiques soient étendues à des
structures jusqu’ici ignorées d’elles, ou encore qu’on mette en oeuvre
un modèle mixte n’ayant jamais été utilisé en linguistique
informatique. A titre d’exemple, l’acquisition sur corpus annoté d’une
grammaire hors contexte probabiliste et la mesure de sa couverture sont
considérées comme trop connues pour être présentées à cet atelier.

Cet atelier est ouvert à tous les travaux novateurs mêlant approches
statistiques et méthodes symboliques dans l'analyse syntaxique et
sémantique du français, les exemples ci-dessus ne sont mentionnés qu'à
titre indicatif.  Nous encourageons les soumissions sous forme de prise
de position, argumentaire d'opinion, discussion de question ouverte,
défrichage de problématique, etc. : ce sujet neuf suscite le débat entre
deux communautés relativement distinctes.


LANGUE

A priori, l’utilisation de méthodes mixtes est indépendant de la
langue. Cependant nous ne considérerons que les articles proposant un
traitement automatique qui puisse s’appliquer à la syntaxe ou à la
sémantique du français.

Les non francophones qui le souhaitent peuvent soumettre un article en
anglais.


TYPES DE COMMUNICATIONS

Les articles seront rédigés en français pour les francophones, en
anglais pour ceux qui ne maîtrisent pas le français. Ils devront suivre
le format de TALN 2013 et comprendront 4 pages.  Une feuille de style
LaTeX et un modèle Word sont disponibles sur le site web de la
conférence (http://www.taln2013.org/soumettre/). Les articles retenus
donneront lieu à une présentation orale, dont la durée sera communiquée
lors de l’acceptation.

CRITÈRES DE SÉLECTION

Les critères de sélection sont les mêmes que ceux définis par TALN 2013
pour les articles de recherche.

MODALITÉS DE SOUMISSION

Les articles, au format pdf, doivent être déposés sur easychair à

Motivation

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

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

Topics

The special theme for this edition is terminology mining, which featured
in a number of submissions in the past years, and this time it will
serve as the highlighted theme for the workshop.

In addition to this special theme, we solicit contributions including
but not limited to other relevant topics:

Building Comparable Corpora:
      Human translations
      Automatic and semi-automatic methods
      Methods to mine parallel and non-parallel corpora from the Web
      Tools and criteria to evaluate the comparability of corpora
      Parallel vs non-parallel corpora, monolingual corpora
      Rare and minority languages
      Across language families
      Multi-media/multi-modal comparable corpora

Applications of comparable corpora:
      Human translations
      Language learning
      Cross-language information retrieval & document categorization
      Bilingual projections
      Machine translation
      Writing assistance

Mining from Comparable Corpora:
      Extraction of parallel segments or paraphrases from comparable
      corpora
      Extraction of bilingual and multilingual translations of single
      words and multi-word expressions; proper names, named entities,
      etc.

should be included. Submissions will be judged on correctness,
originality, technical strength, significance, relevance to the
conference, and interest to the attendees. Each submission will be
reviewed by at least three reviewers.

There will be three categories of papers:

a. Regular papers: their length will be up to 8 pages plus 1 additional
   page for references or appendices if needed/applicable; in the
   conference program these papers will have a slot of 25 minutes
   allocated (20 min presentation + 5 minutes questions and answers)

b. Short papers: their length will be up to 6 pages plus 1 additional
   page for references or appendices if needed/applicable; in the
   program these papers will have a slot of 20 minutes (15 min
   presentation + 5 minutes questions and answers)

c. Poster papers: their length will be up to 4 pages plus 1 additional
   page for references or appendices if needed/applicable; in the
   program these will be presented at poster sessions.

All accepted papers will have equal status in the proceedings.

Authors will decide whether their papers are regular, short or posters
depending on their length. Authors will also decide to which which
area/track they are submitting (the START system will be configured to
allow selection of areas).

Paper submissions should follow the two-column format of IJCNLP,
conforming to the LaTeX or Microsoft Word style available on the
conference website and conforming to the instructions to authors found
there. Submissions must be electronic in PDF through the START
conference system at:

https://www.softconf.com/ijcnlp2013/main/

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

Multiple-submission policy
Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or
publications must provide this information at submission time. If IJCNLP
2013 accepts a paper, authors must notify the program chairs by August
5, indicating which meeting they choose for presentation of their
work. IJCNLP 2013 cannot accept for publication or presentation work
that will be (or has been) published elsewhere.

ACL 2013 Workshop on Discourse in Machine Translation (DiscoMT)
Friday, August 9, 2013 - Sofia, Bulgaria

Final call for papers

Over the past four years, there has been a resurgence of interest in
machine translation from the perspective of discourse, and in discourse
from the perspective of machine translation.  This includes ensuring
document-level consistency in the choice of lexical items or referring
forms or in document style or register; translating discourse phenomena
that depend on more than just the context of the current sentence or of
n-grams to the left and/or right; and ensuring that source-language
discourse relations between clauses and/or sentences are also realized
in the target text.

Given this renewed interest, we are pleased to invite paper submissions
to the ACL 2013 Workshop on Discourse in MT, to be held on August 9,
2013 in Sofia.

The papers should focus on language processing techniques, whether
theoretically-inspired or empirical, which address one or more of the
discourse-level phenomena listed below, either in combination with MT,
or from a cross-lingual perspective.  We especially welcome papers that
propose methods and software which enhance the capabilities of MT
systems on discourse-level phenomena.  Papers assessing the importance
and origins of MT difficulties with discourse, including research and
commercial MT systems, are suitable as well.

The proposed workshop solicits submissions more particularly focused on
the following topics, but welcomes also submissions that link discourse
studies with machine translation in some other way.

- discourse processing in support of MT, including:
   o textual coherence, including anaphora, coreference, tense,
     aspect and modality
   o textual cohesion, including lexical consistency
   o discourse structure, including appropriate use of connectives and
     information structuring devices
   o topic structure
   o consistency in style and register
- MT techniques for obtaining document-level consistency and domain
  adaptability;
- MT techniques for structured documents;
- methods and algorithms to handle discourse-level phenomena in
  MT training and decoding;
- uses of MT in processing discourse-level phenomena;
- techniques for assessing the impact of discourse-level processing on
  MT quality;
- quantitative studies on the impact of discourse-level phenomena on
  current MT systems vs. discourse-aware ones.

Submission instructions

We solicit previously unpublished work, presented either as long or
short papers, following the ACL 2013 formatting guidelines available
at http://acl2013.org/site/call.html.  Long papers should have at most
8 pages of content, not including references.  Short papers are
limited to 4 pages of content, not including references.  There is no
constraint on the length of the reference list.  Both types of
submissions should be anonymous, i.e. do not disclose in any way the
identity of the author(s).  Papers must be submitted using the START
system at the URL indicated on the workshop's website.

---WASSS description

This workshop will provide a meeting place for the different communities
interested into why, how and when speech is used by humans for
signalling socio-affective functions. It will be dedicated to building
interdisciplinary research and cross-fertilization between the different
scientific communities All areas related to human communication are
concerned: language and speech computing, robotics or virtual agents, as
well as linguistics, phonetics, pragmatics, didactics, sociology,
psychology, neuropsychology, ethology, biology, etc. The organisation of
affect is complex – from low-level emotion automatic or reflexive
processing to higher cognitive levels , culture-dependent,
language-organized, controlled processing. Speech can signal some very
rich social and emotional cues, reflecting personality, social role, the
cultural/language specificities in all human interactions and more
broadly in human communication.

This workshop will be especially the place where “social emotions” will

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

*Second Workshop on Hybrid Approaches to Translation (HyTra)*

Co-located with *ACL 2013 (http://acl2013.org/site/)*

Sofia, Bulgaria

August 8, 2013

Deadline for paper submissions: April 30, 2013


*Invited Speakers*

Will Lewis and Chris Quirk (Microsoft Research)

Hermann Ney (Aachen University)

*http://hytra.barcelonamedia.org/hytra2013* 

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

*Workshop Description*


The Second Workshop on Hybrid Approaches to Translation (HyTra) intends
to further progress on the findings from the first edition which was
held (together with the ESIRMT workshop) as a joint 2-day EACL 2012
workshop.


The aim of the HyTra workshop is to bring together and share ideas among
researchers developing statistical, example-based, or rule-based
translation systems and those who enhance MT systems with elements from
the other approaches. Hereby one relevant focus will be on effectively
combining linguistic and data driven approaches (rule-based and
statistical MT). Another focus will be on hybridization in the context
of human translation.


We solicit contributions including but not limited to the following
topics:

   - ways and techniques of hybridization
   - architectures for the rapid development of hybrid MT systems
   - applications of hybrid systems
   - hybrid systems dealing with under-resourced languages
   - hybrid systems dealing with morphologically rich languages
   - using linguistic information (morphology, syntax, semantics) to
     enhance statistical MT (e.g. with hierarchical or factored models)
   - using contextual information to enhance statistical MT
   - bootstrapping rule-based systems from corpora
   - hybrid methods in spoken language translation
   - extraction of dictionaries and other large-scale resources for MT
     from parallel and comparable corpora
   - induction of morphological, grammatical, and translation rules from
     corpora
   - machine learning techniques for hybrid MT
   - describing structural mappings between languages
     (e.g. tree-structures using synchronous/transduction grammars)
   - heuristics for limiting the search space in hybrid MT
   - alternative methods for the fair evaluation of the output of
     different types of MT systems (e.g. relying on linguistic criteria)
   - system combination approaches such as multi-engine MT (parallel) or
     automatic post-editing (sequential)
   - open source tools and free language resources for hybrid MT

Contributions can be short or long papers. Short paper submission must
describe original and unpublished work without exceeding five pages of
content plus one extra page for references. Characteristics of short
papers include: a small, focused contribution; work in progress; a
negative result; an opinion piece; an interesting application
nugget. Long paper submissions must describe substantial, original,
completed and unpublished work without exceeding eight pages of content
plus two extra pages for references. Submissions will be judged
according to the criteria of the main conference (of ACL 2013).


*Submission Instructions*


Authors are invited to submit papers on original and previously
unpublished work. Formatting should be according to ACL 2013
specifications using LaTeX or MS-Word style files, see
*http://acl2013.org/site/call.html*.  Reviewing of papers will be
double-blind, so the submissions should not reveal the authors’
identity.


Submission is electronic in PDF format using the START submission system
at *https://www.softconf.com/acl2013/HyTra/*


Double submission policy: Parallel submission to other meetings or
publications are possible but must be immediately notified to the
workshop contact person (see below).


For an accepted paper to appear in the proceedings, at least one author
must register for the workshop and actually present the paper. The
papers will be published in the electronic workshop proceedings. These
will be part of the ACL proceedings, published by ACL. They will also be
made available online via the ACL Anthology.

*Important Dates*

April 30, 2013: Paper submissions due
May 24, 2013: Notification of acceptance
Jun 7, 2013: Camera ready papers due
August 8, 2013: Workshop in Sofia

Bonjour à tous,
Monsieur *James Kirby *de l'University of Edinburgh, UK, viendra nous
présenter ses travaux sur :

*"**Tonogenesis in Khmer: A cross-dialect comparison"*

Date : *jeudi 16 mai à 13h30*
Lieu : Salle Jacques Cartier, Maison des Langues, Université Stendhal,
Domaine Universitaire, Grenoble
Plan d'accès :
http://www.u-grenoble3.fr/medias/photo/pbatimentsweb08-1216111652463_1322492530726.jpg

Résumé :
Unlike many languages of Southeast Asia, Khmer is not a tone language.
Nonetheless, a nascent pitch-based contrast, which covaries with the
loss of /r/, has been noted in several dialects since at least the 1960s
(e.g.  Noss, 1966). While tonogenesis is well-documented in languages of
Southeast Asia, the manner by which it might be taking place in Khmer
has not been reported for any other language.

Here, I compare acoustic and perceptual data on the emergence of
F0-based contrast in two varieties of Khmer: the colloquial speech of
the capital Phnom Penh (PP), and the dialect spoken in Giồng Riềng
district, Kiên Giang province, Vietnam (KG). The results provide new
data on the phonetic realization of this ongoing sound change,
suggesting that while F0 has become a necessary and sufficient cue to
this contrast in both dialects, it is primary in KG in a way that it may
not be in PP, where additional cues appear to be active in both
production and perception. I propose a perceptual explanation, based on
the frication and devoicing of /r/, that may have been responsible for
this unusual sound change.

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS (deadline for Submission: April, 28th)

======================================================
High-level Methodologies for Grammar Engineering
(HMGE 2013)
ESSLLI 2013 Workshop (Language and Computation Area)
University of Düsseldorf, Germany
August 12-16, 2013
http://www.univ-orleans.fr/lifo/evenements/HMGE13/
======================================================

INTRODUCTION
============

Many grammatical frameworks have been proposed over the last decades to
describe the syntax (and semantics) of natural language. Among the most
widely used, one may cite (in chronological order) Tree-Adjoining
Grammar (TAG) [Joshi et. Al, 1975], Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG)
[Bresnan and Kaplan, 1982], Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG)
[Steedman, 1987], or Head- driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG)
[Pollard and Sag, 1994]. These frameworks present theoretical and
practical interests. From a theoretical point of view, they provide a
formal device for the linguist to experiment with her/his theories. From
a practical point of view, they make it possible to automatically
process natural language in applications such as dialog systems, machine
translation, etc. They differ in their expressivity and complexity. Some
reveal themselves more adequate for the description of a given language
than others. Still, for many of these frameworks, large resources (i.e.,
grammars) have been designed, at first by hand, and later via dedicated
tools (e.g., integrated grammar environments such as XLE for LFG [King
et al, 2000]). In this workshop, we are concerned with this complex task
of grammar engineering, keeping in mind the two above-mentioned
theoretical and practical interests.

TOPICS
======

HMGE is open to submissions on topics including, but not limited to:

   * development, maintenance and enhancement of grammars
   * semi-automatic acquisition of grammars
   * debugging environments for grammar design
   * dedicated description languages for grammar engineering
   * applications of large-scale grammars

VENUE
=====

The workshop will be held as part of ESSLLI in August 2013 in
Düsseldorf, Germany. More information about ESSLLI can be found at the
ESSLLI web pages at http://esslli2013.de/.

Présentation
----------------

SIIM 2013 est la seconde édition du Symposium sur l’ingénierie de
l’information médicale qui réunit les communautés en informatique
médicale, des systèmes d'information et de gestion de la connaissance en
ciblant des problématiques liées à l’ingénierie de l’information
médicale. L'édition inaugurale a eu lieu en 2011 à Toulouse
(http://www.irit.fr/SIIM/2011/index.php) et a émergé des journées ayant
eu lieu à Rennes en 2003, Rouen en 2004 et de l’atelier qui s’est
déroulé à Nîmes en 2010 autour du web sémantique médical
(http://www-limbio.smbh.univ-paris13.fr/wsm10/).

Son objectif majeur est de débattre des verrous liés à la modélisation,
la structuration, l’extraction, la recherche et la fouille
d’informations de tous types et de questions connexes et ce, à travers
la présentation des activités de recherche innovantes, des techniques,
des technologies et de démonstrateurs développés aussi bien dans le
monde académique, dans les laboratoires affiliés aux structures de santé
et par des industriels impliqués dans le domaine de l’ingénierie de
l’information qui couvre la modélisation, la structuration,
l’extraction, la recherche et la fouille d’informations de tous types :
structurée sous forme de donnée, semi-structurée ou non structurée sous
forme de texte, d’image, de son, ...etc.

Le symposium SIIM cible un public de jeunes chercheurs, chercheurs et
industriels impliqués dans le domaine de l’usage de l’information
médicale depuis sa production jusqu’à sa valorisation. Le symposium SIIM
est ouvert à la présentation de travaux de différents stades
d’avancement traitant de thèmes connexes à l’ingénierie de l’information
médicale.

Motivation

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

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

Topics

The special theme for this edition is terminology mining, which featured
in a number of submissions in the past years, and this time it will
serve as the highlighted theme for the workshop.

In addition to this special theme, we solicit contributions including
but not limited to other relevant topics:

Building Comparable Corpora:
      Human translations
      Automatic and semi-automatic methods
      Methods to mine parallel and non-parallel corpora from the Web
      Tools and criteria to evaluate the comparability of corpora
      Parallel vs non-parallel corpora, monolingual corpora
      Rare and minority languages
      Across language families
      Multi-media/multi-modal comparable corpora

Applications of comparable corpora:
      Human translations
      Language learning
      Cross-language information retrieval & document categorization
      Bilingual projections
      Machine translation
      Writing assistance

Mining from Comparable Corpora:
      Extraction of parallel segments or paraphrases from comparable
      corpora
      Extraction of bilingual and multilingual translations of single
      words and multi-word expressions; proper names, named entities,
      etc.

One day Workshop on Continuous Vector Space Models and their 
Compositionality (CVSC)
Co-located with ACL 2013, Sofia, Bulgaria
August 9, 2013
Submission deadline extended : ** April 30, 2013 **
https://sites.google.com/site/cvscworkshop/
************************************************************************

The submission site is now open
(https://www.softconf.com/acl2013/CVSC2013/) and the deadline is now
April 30.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in algorithms that
learn and use continuous representations for words, phrases, or
documents in many natural language processing applications. Among many
others, two influential proposals illustrate this trend: latent
Dirichlet allocation and neural network based language models. These
approaches are motivated by improving the generalization power of the
discrete standard models, by dealing with the data sparsity issue and by
efficiently handling a wide context.  Despite the success of single word
vector space models, they are limited since they do not capture
compositionality. This prevents them from gaining a deeper understanding
of the semantics of longer phrases or sentences.

Another different trend of research on continuous vector space models
belongs to the family of spectral methods. The motivation in that
context is that working in a continuous space allows for the design of
algorithms that are not plagued with the local minima issues that
discrete latent space models tend to suffer from.


In this workshop, we invite submissions of papers on continuous vector
space models for natural language processing. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

* learning algorithms for continuous vector space models,
* their compositionality,
* their use in NLP applications,
* spectral learning for NLP,
* neural networks for NLP,
* latent Dirichlet allocation and other continuous representations of
  documents
* tensor models
* distributed semantic representations

INVITED SPEAKERS

There will be two invited speakers Mirella Lapata and Xavier Carreras,
and a panel discussion lead by Chris Manning.

PITR 2013 - The Second Workshop on Predicting and Improving Text
Readability for Target Reader Populations
An ACL Workshop at Sofia, Bulgaria.

**** Extended Deadline: May 3, 2013  *****

See: http://mcs.open.ac.uk/nlg/PITR2013/

CALL FOR PAPERS

Many NLP systems generate or reformulate human language but how readable
is the output? What makes language easy or difficult to read for
different types of readers? How can existing text be manipulated to
improve information access? How does writing style affect readability,
comprehension, and appreciation of text? The last few years have seen a
resurgence of interest in these questions amongst computational
linguists as attention turns to more sophisticated techniques for
textual presentation and to address the widely differing needs of end
users. The relevance of this research area has spawned a number of
workshops on related topics, for example, SL-PAT 2012
(http://slpat.org/) and NLP4ITA 2012 (http://www.taln.upf.edu/nlp4ita/),
and a new special interest group, Speech and Language Processing for
Assistive Technologies (http://slpat.org/), which sponsors this
workshop.

PITR is a cross-disciplinary workshop bringing together researchers in
any field concerned with the readability, accessibility and quality of
text, particularly computational linguists, psycholinguists and
educational researchers. We solicit papers on:

- Reformulation of existing text (text-to-text systems)
- Generation of readable language from data (data-to-text systems)
- Generation of text in specific styles and registers for readability
- Evaluation of language simplification strategies
- Evaluation of the readability of computer-generated text
- Evaluation of the readability of machine translation output
- Prediction of aspects of text style related to readability
- Prediction of the readability of documents
- Readability issues in specialist texts such as questionnaires, exam
  questions, safety instructions, etc.
- Novel evaluation strategies for assessing text readability
- Novel readability metrics
- Techniques for simplifying lexis
- Techniques for simplifying syntax
- Techniques for simplifying discourse properties (making text more
  transparent, etc.)
- Techniques for manipulating textual layout to improve accessibility
- Techniques for making descriptions of numerical quantities more
  accessible
- Techniques for making technical terminology more accessible
- Techniques for making descriptions of logical statements more
  accessible
- Techniques for explaining complex ideas through accessible text
- Systems aimed at adults with poor literacy
- Systems aimed at children learning to read
- Systems aimed at 2nd language learners
- Systems aimed at people with language deficits (aphasia, deafness,
  neurodegeneration, etc.)
- Systems aimed at non-experts accessing technical material

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

The first Workshop on Speech, Language and Audio in Multimedia (SLAM)
aims at bringing together researchers working in speech, language and
audio processing to analyze, index and access multimedia data.
Multimedia data are now available in very large amounts with a wide
variety of formats and qualities, from professional content to
user-generated ones: Lectures, meetings, interviews, debates,
conversational broadcast, podcasts, social videos on the Web, etc. Such
data, along with the associated use scenarios, raise specific
challenges: Robustness facing the high variability in quality;
Efficiency to handle very large amount of data; Semantics shared across
modalities; Potentially high error rates in transcription; etc.
Worldwide, several national and international research projects are
focusing on audio analysis of multimedia data. Similarly, various
benchmark initiatives have been initiated such as TRECVID MED,
MediaEval, or ETAPE and REPERE in France.

The SLAM workshop intends to bring together players from the field to
share recent research results, discuss ongoing and future projects,
benchmarking initiatives and applications. We expect communications on
research work, project description, evaluation initiative,
demonstrations and applications dealing with speech and/or language
and/or audio on any type of multimedia material. The list of topics of
interest includes (but is not limited to):

     Audio event detection and audio classification
     Speech and speaker recognition on multimedia material
     Audio-aware genre analysis and classification
     Multimodal speaker identification and clustering
     Multimedia spoken term detection and content retrieval
     Speech and audio aware content segmentation and structuring
     Audio indexing and fingerprinting
     Robust feature extraction and processing
     Natural language processing for multimedia
     Metadata extraction : Entity extraction, keyword extraction, etc.
     Summarization and hyperlink generation
     Multimodal fusion and integration involving audio
     Generation of descriptive text for multimedia
     Speech and audio multimedia applications and services
     Databases and benchmarks
     Large scale speech and audio analysis
     Navigation in multimedia audio content

applied to any media such as:

     Professional broadcasts – TV, radio, podcasts, newsfeeds, synopsis,
     etc.
     Social media – YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, Voice Social
     Network, etc.
     Audiovisual archives – Lectures and conferences, meetings, etc.
     Music – Music catalogs, music collections, etc.

The workshop is organized in conjunction with Interspeech 2013 over 1.5
days, starting Thu. 22, 2013 at mid-day and ending Fri. 23, 2013
afternoon, right before the main conference. Marseille is conveniently
connected by high-speed train to Lyon where the Interspeech conference
will take place. The format of the workshop will include an invited
talk, oral presentations of scientific work and a poster session for
project and benchmark presentations.

Prospective authors should submit a manuscript following instructions on
the web site. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least two
reviewers. Proceedings will be published online in open access and a
special issue in a dedicated journal is targeted.

THEME and MOTIVATION

The languages from the Balto-Slavic group play an important role due to
their diverse cultural heritage and widespread use — with over 400
million speakers. The recent political and economic developments in
Central and Eastern Europe have brought Balto-Slavic societies and their
languages into focus in terms of rapid technological advancement and
rapidly expanding consumer markets.

This Workshop addresses Natural Language Processing (NLP) for the
Balto-Slavic languages. The NLP tasks in urgent need of attention
include, but are not limited to:

   - Morphological analysis and generation,
   - Syntactic and semantic tagging,
   - Named-entity recognition,
   - Information extraction,
   - Co-reference resolution,
   - Question-answering,
   - Information retrieval,
   - Text summarization,
   - Machine translation.

Research on theoretical and applied topics in the context of many
Balto-Slavic languages is still in its early stages. The linguistic
phenomena specific to Balto-Slavic languages — such as rich
morphological inflection and free word order — make the construction of
NLP tools for these languages a challenging and intriguing task.

The goal of this Workshop is to bring together academic researchers and
industry practitioners working on NLP for Balto-Slavic languages. In
particular, the Workshop will serve as an instrument to further
stimulate the research on NLP techniques for Balto-Slavic languages, and
to foster the creation of tools for these languages. The Workshop will
provide an forum for exchanging ideas and experience, discussing
difficult-to-tackle problems in this field of research, and making the
available resources more widely-known. One fascinating aspect of this
sub-family of languages is the striking structural similarity, as well
as an easily recognizable core vocabulary and inflectional inventory
spanning the entire group of languages — despite a lack of mutual
intelligibility — which creates a special environment in which
researchers can fully appreciate the shared problems and solutions and
communicate naturally.

This Workshop continues the proud tradition established by the previous
BSNLP Workshops:

   - the First BSNLP Workshop, held in conjunction with ACL 2007 
     Conference in Prague;
   - the Second BSNLP Workshop, held in conjunction with IIS 2009: 
     Intelligent Information Systems, in Kraków, Poland;
   - the Third BSNLP Workshop, held in conjunction with TSD 2011, 14th
     International Conference on Text, Speech and Dialogue in Plzeň,
     Czech Republic.

________________________________________________________________________
SUBMISSION

BSNLP 2013 welcomes two types of submissions: (a) full papers, and (b)
short papers. We accept only electronic submissions via the submission
page.

Long papers should describe original unpublished work and should
indicate the state of completion of the reported results. In particular,
overlap with previously published work should be clearly mentioned. The
authors should indicate along with their submission if the paper has
been submitted elsewhere.

Short papers should describe work in progress and/or interactive
software demos.

All submissions, both long and short papers, will be judged on
correctness, novelty, technical strength, clarity of presentation,
usability, and significance/relevance to the Workshop. Submissions will
be reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee.

The reviewing will be blind. Therefore, the paper should not include the
authors' names and affiliations. Self-citations and other references
that reveal the authors' identity should be avoided.

In particular, submissions describing systems, resources or solutions
that are made available to the wider public would be strongly
encouraged, as this would help to promote computational linguistics
applications for these languages.

Long paper submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL 2013
proceedings not exceeding eight (8) pages of content plus two (2)
additional pages for references. Short paper submissions should follow
the same format, and should not exceed four (4) pages for content plus
two (2) additional pages for references. Submissions must conform to the
official style guidelines of ACL 2013, which are contained in the style
files, and must be in PDF.

Note: It should be clearly indicated if a submission to BSNLP 2013 had
been previously submitted to ACL 2013 Main Conference and rejected
therefrom. All resubmitted papers must clearly demonstrate how they have
addressed the ACL reviewers' criticisms.

________________________________________________________________________
OFFICIAL LANGUAGE

The official language of the workshop is English.

________________________________________________________________________
PUBLICATION

The papers accepted for BSNLP 2013 will be published in ACL Workshop
Proceedings.

After the Workshop, we intend to make a selection of the best papers

Apologies for cross-posting.

Submissions are invited to the KDD13 Workshop on Issues of Sentiment
Discovery and Opinion Mining (http://sentic.net/wisdom), which aims to
explore how the wisdom of the crowds is affecting (and will affect) the
evolution of the Web and of businesses gravitating around it. In
particular, the ACM KDD workshop explores two different stages of
sentiment analysis: the former focusing on the identification of
opinionated text over the Web, the latter focusing on the classification
of such text either in terms of polarity detection or emotion
recognition.

RATIONALE
The exponential growth of the Social Web is virally infecting more and
more critical business processes such as customer support and
satisfaction, brand and reputation management, product design and
marketing. Because of this global trend, web users already evolved from
the era of social relationships, in which they began to get connected
and started to share contents, to the era of social functionality, in
which they started using social networks as the main platform for
communication and dissemination of information. Today, web users are
going through the era of social colonization, in which every experience
on the Web can be social (e.g., Facebook Like button), and are getting
ready for the era of social context, in which web contents will be
highly targeted and personalized. The final stage of such Social Web
evolution is the so called era of social commerce, in which communities
will define future products and services. In such context, the research
field of sentiment analysis, which has already been rapidly growing in
the last decade, is destined to become more and more important for Web
and business dynamics.

TOPICS
The workshop aims to provide an international forum for both researchers
and entrepreneurs working in the field of opinion mining to share
information on their latest investigations in social information
retrieval and their applications in academic research areas and
industrial sectors. The broader context of the workshop comprehends AI,
Semantic Web, information retrieval, web mining, and natural language
processing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Sentiment identification & classification
- Knowledge-based opinion mining
- Sentiment summarization & visualization
- Entity discovery & extraction
- Opinion aggregation
- Opinion search & retrieval
- Time evolving sentiment analysis
- Opinion spam detection
- Comparative opinion analysis
- Topic detection & trend discovery
- Psychological models for sentiment analysis
- Multilingual opinion mining
- Sentic computing
- Big social data analysis
- Social ranking
- Social network analysis
- Influence, trust & privacy analysis
- Business intelligence applications

TIMEFRAME
- May 8th, 2013: Submission deadline
- June 8th, 2013: Notification of acceptance
- June 18th, 2013: Final manuscripts due
- August 12th, 2013: Workshop date

PROCEEDINGS
Accepted papers will be published in KDD WISDOM proceedings. Selected,
expanded versions of papers presented at the workshop will be invited to
a forthcoming Special Issue of Cognitive Computation on opinion mining
and sentiment analysis.

AUTOVEILLE est le fruit d'une recherche universitaire concernant
initialement les probl?matiques de veille. Ne trouvant pas des outils
performants pour automatiser la veille et la collecte de donn?es,
V?ronique Duong a alors d?cid? de cr?er ses propres outils. AUTOVEILLE
est ? la fois un agr?gateur de flux RSS et un logiciel de veille
automatique.

Si vous souhaitez en savoir plus, d'autres outils d'automatisation sont
?galement propos?s sur le site: http://autoveille.free.fr

Le diaporama (http://autoveille.free.fr/outil-veille-automatique.html -
http://autoveille.free.fr/travailler-domaine-veille.pdf) reprend tous
les outils de veille pouvant ?tre utilis?s par des utilisateurs non
sp?cialistes du domaine de la veille. Ces outils g?n?riques permettront
d?j? de faire une premi?re collecte int?r?ssante des nouveaut?s d'un
site / d'un blog. Pour les ?tudiants voulant se sp?cialiser en veille
strat?gique, n'h?sitez pas ? contacter V?ronique Duong
(veronique-duong at laposte.net - autoveille at gmail.com).

INTRODUCTION and MOTIVATION

TIA 2013 will be the 10th in a series of successful events which, for
the most part, initially took place in the francophone world. Over a
period of almost 20 years ? the first conference was held in 1995 ? TIA
has increasingly attracted the attention of many researchers and
practitioners all over the world, and its work has become truly
international.
The aim of TIA 2013 is to provide an overview of the new ways in which
multilingual terminology is present in an ever-increasing networked
society, and to pay special attention both to the methods applied in the
conceptualization of domain knowledge and to the applications and tools
that will meet the requirements of e-society. In this way, terminology,
linguistics and knowledge engineering provide the basis on which many
other disciplines develop their applications such as domain ontologies,
natural language processing tools, multilingual knowledge-based tools
and web-based linguistic applications. New approaches to the
standardization and to the reuse and integration of different tools
designed to facilitate work in institutions, companies and society in
general will be welcome.

The TIA 2013 Conference aims to promote interdisciplinary research
focusing on the intersection of different disciplines that deal with
terminological aspects and knowledge engineering resources. Papers may
address both theoretical questions and methodological aspects on these
issues, as well as interdisciplinary approaches developed to facilitate
convergence and co-operation in terminological aspects of importance to
society.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Terminology and ontology acquisition and management
- Applying pattern recognition to enriching terminological resources
- Lexicons, thesauri and ontologies as semantic resources
- Lexicons and ontologies as means for knowledge transfer
- Reusing, standardizing and merging terminological or ontological
  resources
- Multilingual terminology extraction
- Multilinguality and multimodality in terminological resources
- Management of language resources

Terminology and knowledge representation
- Ontological semantics and linguistics
- Ontology localization
- Development of multimedia terminological resources
- Terminology alignment in parallel corpora and other lexical resources
- Representation of terms and conceptual relations in knowledge-based
  applications
- Comparative studies of terminological resources and/or ontological
  resources from different languages, domains and approaches
- Terminological resources in the 21st century
- Harmonization of format and standards in terminological resources

Terminology and ontologies for applications
- Interoperability and reusability in knowledge-based tools and
  applications
- Models and metamodels in annotating semantic and terminological
  resources
- New R &D directions in terminology for industrial uses and needs


SUBMISSIONS

TIA 2013 solicits both regular papers, which present significant work,
and short papers, which typically present work in progress or a smaller,
focused contribution. The program committee may decide to change the
category of a paper before acceptance. Papers can be written either in
English or French.
Regular papers should not exceed 8 pages in ACL-HLT 2011 format (see
below for LaTeX and MS Word style files), including figures, examples
and references. The mode of presentation of long papers (orally or as
posters) will be decided based on the nature rather than on the quality
of the work.
Short papers should not exceed 4 pages in the same format as regular
papers. They will also be presented orally or as posters at the
conference depending on the nature of the work.
Authors should submit the papers in PDF through the TIA submission page
at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tia2013
At the submission page, the author(s) must provide the following
information:
1. name(s) of author(s)
2. affiliation(s), addresses, fax and e-mail
3. title of the paper
4. 5 to 10 key words in English or in French (in both languages if
   possible)
5. abstract in English or in French (in both languages if possible) (200
   words maximum for each)
As the reviewing will be blind, the paper itself must not include the
authors' names and affiliations at submission time. Furthermore,
self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously
showed (Smith, 1991) ...", must be avoided. Instead, use citations such
as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Reviews of full papers
(long and short) will be performed by three reviewers.

STYLES FILES

Authors are required to use the following style files so that the papers
follow the conference format.
Latex: tia2013latex.tgz
MS Word: tia2013word.zip
IMPORTANT: Remove authors? information from your manuscripts when
submitting them for blind review (see above)!

Offre de post-doc au LIUM

Traitement Automatique du Langage
	?
Correction de sorties d?OCR, traduction automatique statistique,
mod?lisation du langage.

Offre de postdoc au sein du laboratoire d?Informatique de l?Universit?
du Maine (LIUM) dans le domaine de la correction orthographique par
m?thodes de traduction automatique statistique.

R?sum? de l?offre
? Th?matiques : traitement du langage naturel, application ? la
  correction d?OCR et traduction automatique statistique.
? Lieu : LIUM (Le Mans), ?quipe LST (http ://www-lium.univ-lemans.fr/).
? P?riode : disponible d?s maintenant pour une dur?e d?un an
  renouvelable.

Contexte

Ce postdoc s?inscrit dans le projet PACTE ("investissement d?avenir"),
port? par l?entreprise Diadeis, et dont sont ?galement partenaires
l??quipe Alpage (INRIA et Paris 7), et les entreprises A2ia et Isako.
PACTE a pour objectif l?am?lioration de la qualit? orthographique des
textes issus de diff?rentes m?thodes de capture textuelle. 
L?accent est mis sur les sorties d?OCR (reconnaissance optique de
caract?res) sur des textes imprim?s scann?s, mais concerne ?galement des
donn?es obtenues par reconnaissance d??criture manuscrite, par saisie
manuelle, et par r?daction directe.
Les techniques qui seront utilis?es sont ? la fois statistiques et
hybrides, faisant usage d?outils et de ressources de linguistique
computationnelle.

Objectifs
V?rification et correction des sorties d?OCR par des m?thodes de
mod?lisation statistique du langage. 
Les syst?mes OCR utilis?s n?exploitent pas ou peu de connaissance sur la
langue. 
L?objectif est d?exploiter la mod?lisation de la langue afin combler ce
manque.

Utilisation de la traduction automatique statistique pour la correction
d?erreurs des sorties d?OCR. 
La correction des sorties d?OCR peut ?tre vue comme une t?che de
traduction d?un texte erron? vers un texte correct. 
Dans le cadre de l?OCR, le paradigme de traduction doit ?tre adapt? afin
de prendre en compte les sp?cificit?s de la t?che.

Le cadre applicatif de ce travail est assez exceptionnel, avec
l?exploitation d?une grande quantit? de donn?es issue notamment du
Bureau Europ?en des Brevets (EPO - European Patent Office) et du Journal
Officiel de l?Union Europ?enne.


Profil recherch?
? Comp?tences en informatique : environnement Linux, C++, scripting,
  etc. ;
? Connaissances en apprentissage automatique, linguistique
  computationelle.
? Une exp?rience en traduction automatique statistique est un plus.

Le postdoc se d?roulera au sein de l??quipe LST du LIUM. 
Le LIUM est connu au niveau international pour ses recherches dans le
domaine de la traduction automatique statistique, et poss?de de
nombreuses collaborations avec des universit?s et entreprises en Europe
et aux ?tats-Unis.

RuleML 2013 Special Track on "Translating between Human Language and
Formal Rules: Business, Law, and Government"

Over the last decade there has been enormous growth in unstructured and
semi-structured textual material distributed on the web, for instance
legal sources. Yet a substantial knowledge-acquisition bottleneck
remains in using Human Language Technologies (HLT) to translate from
this material to machine-readable, knowledge-based semantic
representations. The 'Human-Rules' Special Track of RuleML 2013 has its
focus on these issues, providing a forum for current work and a venue
for the exchange of ideas. For details, important dates, and submission
information please go to the link.

The deadline for submissions is extended to April, the 8th.

Please submit author names, a paper title, and an abstract to the
submission website as soon as possible.

MultiLing 2013 - Multilingual Multi-document Summarization
Call for Systems/Participation

August 9th, 2013
ACL 2013, Sofia, Bulgaria
http://multiling.iit.demokritos.gr/pages/view/662/multiling-2013

Overview
================================================================
MultiLing 2013 is a workshop, held within ACL 2013, which covers three
sub-domains of Natural Language Processing, focused on the multilingual
aspect of summarization: multi-document summarization, summarization
evaluation and data collection.

The MultiLing 2013 workshop builds upon the Text Analysis Conference
(TAC) MultiLing Pilot task of 2011, where systems were asked to generate
fluent, representative summaries (around 250 words) for each of a set of
predefined topics per language.

This year each topic is described by 10 source documents. The set of
documents is in one of the following languages: Arabic, Chinese, Czech,
English, French, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Romanian and Spanish.

Based on the challenges revealed in MultiLing 2011, this year we also
address the problems of multilingual summary evaluation and data
collection.
We also conduct a pilot task for single document summarization.

This call asks for systems to participate and compete in the MultiLing
2013 tracks.
You can find information on how to participate at the end of this
document.


Introduction
================================================================
MultiLing 2013 aims to encourage research on multilingual summarization,
by providing a corpus in various languages, common evaluation procedures
and a forum for participants to present their results.

This call invites you to participate in the MultiLing 2013 Workshop
tracks.
MultiLing 2013 organizers will provide suitable corpora for each track.
MultiLing 2013 has two main tracks and a pilot:

   1) Multilingual multi-document summarization
   2) Multilingual summary evaluation
   3) (Pilot) Multilingual single document summarization

Tracks and Tasks Detailed
================================================================
Track 1: Multilingual multi-document summarization
----------------------------------------------------------------
The multilingual multi-document summarization track aims to evaluate the
application of (partially or fully) language-independent summarization
algorithms on a variety of languages. Each system participating in the
track will be called to provide summaries for a range of different
languages, based on a news corpus.  Participating systems will be
required to apply their methods to a minimum of two languages.
Evaluation will favor systems that apply their methods to more
languages.

The corpus used in the Multilingual multi-document summarization track
will be based on WikiNews texts (http://www.wikinews.org/). Source texts
will be UTF-8, clean texts (without any mark-up, images,etc.).

The task requires systems to generate a single, fluent, representative
summary from a set of documents describing an event sequence. The
language of the document set will be within a given range of languages
and all documents in a set share the same language. The output summary
should be of the same language as its source documents. The output
summary should be 250 words at most.

Track 2: Multilingual summary evaluation
----------------------------------------------------------------
This track aims to examine how well automated systems can evaluate
summaries from different languages. The task offers as input the
summaries generated from automatic systems and humans in the
Multilingual multi-document summarization task. The output of evaluating
systems, should be a grading of the summaries. Ideally, we would want
the automatic evaluation to maximally correlate to human judgment. Human
judgments will be provided by the organizers, thanks to the co-operating
Contributors.

The corpus of the Multilingual summary evaluation will consist of gold
(human) summaries and the automatic system summaries output from the
Multilingual multi-document summarization task.

Pilot: Multilingual single document summarization
----------------------------------------------------------------
This pilot aims to measure the ability of automated systems to apply
single document summarization, in the context of Wikipedia texts.  Given
a single encyclopedic entry, possibly with several sections/subsection,
describing a specific subject, the systems will be requested to provide
a summary covering the main points of the entry (similarly to the lead
section of a Wikipedia page). The corpus will consist of (non-parallel)
documents in over 40 languages. Participating systems will be required
to apply their methods to a minimum of two languages.  Evaluation will
favor systems that apply their methods to more languages.

The pilot corpus will be based on selected texts from Wikipedia. Details
will follow in the MultiLing 2013 website
(http://multiling.iit.demokritos.gr/)

Cet atelier se veut avant tout un espace de travail, de d?bat et
d'?changes sur un th?me ? la fois porteur et encore trop peu explor?.  A
ce titre, les soumissions sous forme de prise de position, argumentaire
d'opinion, discussion de question ouverte, d?frichage de probl?matique,
etc., sont particuli?rement encourag?es.

PR?SENTATION DU CHAMP TH?MATIQUE

Apr?s des ann?es de succ?s des m?thodes quantitatives (statistiques,
apprentissage) en traitement automatique des langues, on constate que
les m?thodes symboliques comme les grammaires formelles ou la logique
sont tout aussi indispensables ? certaines t?ches de traitement
automatique des langues. R?ciproquement, les m?thodes formelles peinent
? passer ? l??chelle sans que les       probabilit?s viennent aider ?
lever les ambigu?t?s, ? faire certains choix et ? rendre compte des
pr?f?rences. L?analyse symbolique gagne aussi en rapidit? ? s?aider
d?informations statistiques. L?objet de cet atelier est pr?cis?ment de
pr?senter des travaux actuels, sur l?analyse syntaxique et s?mantique du
fran?ais, qui combinent nouvellement m?thodes symboliques et
statistiques. Cet atelier sera aussi un forum o? discuter des m?rites
respectifs des m?thodes statistiques et symboliques et de leur
enrichissement mutuel. 

C'est pourquoi nous encourageons les expos?s de prise de position,
surtout si elles s'appuient sur des questions particuli?res. 

Nous donnons ci-apr?s quelques exemples de travaux o? ces diff?rentes
m?thodes sont combin?es. 

 - En recherche d?information, ne pas traiter la n?gation et sa port?e
   peut poser probl?me. S?il s?agit de d?tecter des catastrophes
   naturelles, un tweet comme ? Il y a du vent, mais ce n?est pas un
   ouragan. ? pourra ?tre erron?ment interpr?t? comme une catastrophe
   naturelle alors qu?il n?y en a pas

 - Si on se pose la question : ? Geach ?tait-il l??l?ve de Wittgenstein
   ? ? il sera malais? de r?pondre. Hormis Wikip?dia, il y a peu de
   textes sur Geach, et une analyse profonde prenant en compte n?gation
   et anaphores est requise pour inf?rer la r?ponse ? partir de : ? Bien
   qu?il n?ait jamais suivi l?enseignement acad?mique de ce dernier,
   cependant il en ?prouva fortement l?influence. ?

 - Apr?s des ann?es de traduction automatique symbolique, la traduction
   automatique statistique, bas? sur des alignements bilingues, est
   devenue tellement efficace qu?on en a oubli? le triangle de Vauquois
   (analyse de la langue source, langage pivot, g?n?ration dans la
   langue cible). N?anmoins, l'utilisation simultan?e de r?gles, par
   exemple l'utilisation de grammaires d'arbres probabiliste ou
   l'utilisation de statistiques dans l'analyse et la g?n?ration
   constituent des directions actuelles et prometteuses.

 - Dans une t?che de reconstruction d?itin?raires ? partir de r?cits de
   voyages la recherche d?information peut permettre de trouver les
   paragraphes pertinents, mais il faut ensuite une analyse syntaxique
   et s?mantique profonde pour inf?rer le chemin suivi ? partir de
   phrases comme : ? Le chemin pav? de calcaire et de pierres luisantes
   (...) serpente ? travers fourr?s de buis et de noisetiers. Puis, cinq
   minutes nous conduisent ? un petit pont (...) qui nous porte sur la
   rive droite.?

 - Les probl?mes relatifs ? la gradience syntaxique, notamment
   l'association d'une structure syntaxique coh?rente ? un ?nonc?
   non-canonique (shallow parsing, robust parsing, for?t d'analyses
   partielles, correction grammaticale, etc.), ou la pond?ration de
   contraintes grammaticales, sont abord?s tant par des approches
   quantitatives, que par des approches symboliques. Les techniques
   d'approximation qui sous-tendent ces deux approches sont de natures
   diff?rentes, et gagneraient ? ?tre combin?es.

 - Les grammaires syntaxiques (et syntaxico-s?mantiques) sont souvent
   acquises automatiquement ? partir de corpus annot?s avec ou sans
   statistiques. Elles comportent alors un grand nombre de cat?gories,
   d?arbres, de graphes par mot. Il est donc quasi obligatoire de ne pas
   analyser la phrase avec toutes les assignations possible de
   cat?gories, mais seulement avec les plus probables dans le contexte
   de la phrase. Le gain en complexit? est flagrant, il peut ?tre divis?
   par quarante !

 - La s?mantique distributionnelle, par vecteurs de mots issus de
   fr?quences en corpus ou dans les dictionnaires, permet de lever les
   ambigu?t?s syntaxiques et s?mantiques de port?es, de rattachement
   pr?positionnel, de sens lexical? Elle se rapproche ainsi de la
   s?mantique compositionnelle, qu?elle vient optimiser en sugg?rant des
   pr?f?rences pour analyser des rattachements pr?positionnels ? Il
   regarde la fille avec des lunettes noires. / Il ?coute la fille avec
   des lunettes noires. / Il regarde la route avec des lunettes
   noires. ? ou choisir un sens lexical ? Cet avocat ?tait v?reux. Il a
   ruin? son client sans le d?fendre. / Cet avocat ?tait v?reux. Tu
   n?aurais pas d? le mettre dans la salade. ?

Les travaux devront apporter un ?l?ment nouveau, que ce soit un mod?le
symbolique qui se trouve inhabituellement enrichi de techniques
statistiques, ou que les m?thodes statistiques soient ?tendues ? des
structures jusqu?ici ignor?es d?elles, ou encore qu?on mette en oeuvre
un mod?le mixte n?ayant jamais ?t? utilis? en linguistique
informatique. A titre d?exemple, l?acquisition sur corpus annot? d?une
grammaire hors contexte probabiliste et la mesure de sa couverture sont
consid?r?es comme trop connues pour ?tre pr?sent?es ? cet atelier.

Cet atelier est ouvert ? tous les travaux novateurs m?lant approches
statistiques et m?thodes symboliques dans l'analyse syntaxique et
s?mantique du fran?ais, les exemples ci-dessus ne sont mentionn?s qu'?
titre indicatif.  Nous encourageons les soumissions sous forme de prise
de position, argumentaire d'opinion, discussion de question ouverte,
d?frichage de probl?matique, etc. : ce sujet neuf suscite le d?bat entre
deux communaut?s relativement distinctes.


LANGUE

A priori, l?utilisation de m?thodes mixtes est ind?pendant de la
langue. Cependant nous ne consid?rerons que les articles proposant un
traitement automatique qui puisse s?appliquer ? la syntaxe ou ? la
s?mantique du fran?ais.

Les non francophones qui le souhaitent peuvent soumettre un article en
anglais.

TYPES DE COMMUNICATIONS

Les articles seront r?dig?s en fran?ais pour les francophones, en
anglais pour ceux qui ne ma?trisent pas le fran?ais. Ils devront suivre
le format de TALN 2013 et comprendront 4 pages.  Une feuille de style
LaTeX et un mod?le Word sont disponibles sur le site web de la
conf?rence (http://www.taln2013.org/soumettre/). Les articles retenus
donneront lieu ? une pr?sentation orale, dont la dur?e sera communiqu?e
lors de l?acceptation.

CRIT?RES DE S?LECTION

Les crit?res de s?lection sont les m?mes que ceux d?finis par TALN 2013
pour les articles de recherche.

We are pleased  to invite you to:

	The Workshop on Language,  Cognition and Computational Models, 

which will be held in Paris at the Ecole Normale Sup?rieure (ENS) and at
the Institut des Syst?mes Complexes de Paris, on May 28th and 29th 2013.

The goal of this event is to provide a venue for the multidisciplinary
discussion of theoretical and practical research for computational
models of language and cognition. The event centers around recent
advances on computational models for language acquisition, processing
and evolution.

The first day will mainly address language evolution and some of the
computational models that have been proposed to investigate possible
avenues for this phenomenon. The second day will address more varied
issues, ranging from the origins of language to recent trends in machine
translation. All the talks will address key questions dealing with
cognitive, formal and/or computational issues related to language
evolution and/or language processing.

The event is open to students, researchers and anyone interested in
related topics.  Attendance is free but people who plan to attend are
kindly requested to register preferably before May 1st to help with the
planning of the event. The registration form is available at

	https://sites.google.com/site/lccmodels/registration

The workshop is funded by the cluster of labs (labex) Transfers
(http://www.transfers.ens.fr/). It is organized thanks to the support of
Lattice, Ecole Normale Sup?rieure, Paris Sciences et Lettres, the
Institut des Syst?mes Complexes de Paris-Ile de France, the Institute of
Informatics of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil).

Proposition de stage M1 ou M2 au LIMSI-CNRS
Groupe Traitement du Langage Parl? (http://www.limsi.fr/tlp/) ? Orsay

Responsable du stage : Marianna Apidianaki (CNRS-LIMSI, groupe TLP)


Titre : Acquisition de connaissances s?mantiques ? partir de corpus
parall?les

Les corpus parall?les multilingues offrent une solution peu co?teuse ?
l'acquisition de connaissances s?mantiques. Les diff?rentes m?thodes
propos?es dans ce but se basent principalement sur des informations
traductionnelles (Dyvik, 1998; Ide et al., 2002; Bannard and
Callison-Burch, 2005) ?ventuellement combin?es avec des informations du
contexte (Apidianaki, 2008; Bansal et al. 2012). Les connaissances
s?mantiques acquises par ces m?thodes peuvent servir ? des fins
d'analyse contrastive ou ?tre exploit?es dans des applications
multilingues, comme la Traduction Automatique. N?anmoins, la nature des
connaissances obtenues varie de mani?re importante et d?pend fortement
des informations exploit?es par la m?thode d'analyse s?mantique
employ?e, des techniques utilis?es et des hypoth?ses th?oriques
sous-jacentes.

L'objectif de ce stage est d'?tudier la s?mantique des paraphrases
acquises par une m?thode bas?e sur une hypoth?se de correspondance
s?mantique inter-langue, la m?thode de paraphrasage par pivot
(Callison-Burch, 2008). Des ressources s?mantiques construites par cette

 =======================================================================
       Second International Conference on Dependency Linguistics
                              DepLing 2013

               http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/project/depling13/
 =======================================================================
                         Third Call for Papers
 =======================================================================

DepLing 2013 will be held at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics,
Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic on August 27-30, 2013.

The conference is organized by the Institute of Formal and Applied
Linguistics.

DepLing 2013 is the second conference in the DepLing series (the first
was held in Barcelona, Spain in 2011).
The series responds to the growing need for linguistic meetings
dedicated to syntactic, semantic and lexicographic approaches that are
centered around dependency as a central notion.

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

     Submission deadline: April 15, 2013
     Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2013
     Camera-ready copy of papers due: June 17, 2013
     Depling Conference: August 27-31, 2013

 =======================================================================
                        Proceedings Publication
 =======================================================================

In addition to the electronic version, there will be a hard copy version
of the Proceedings published by the MATFYZPRESS (with the ISBN)
available to the conference participants at the registration. The papers
accepted for the conference will be indexed by the ACL Anthology.

 =======================================================================
                                 Topics
 =======================================================================

Topics include, but are not limited to:

- The use of dependency trees in syntactic analysis, description,
  formalization, parsing, generation, and corpus annotation of written
  and spoken texts.

- The use of semantic valency-based predicate and actancy graph
  structures and their link to classical logic.

- The elaboration of formal dictionaries for dependency-based syntax and
  semantics, including descriptions of collocations and paradigmatic
  relations.

- Links to morphology and linearization of dependency structures, using
  for example topological field theories

- Dependency-like structures beyond the sentence as annotation scheme
  for discourse phenomena.

- The description and formalization of semantic and pragmatic phenomena
  related to information structure.

- History, epistemology, and psycholinguistic relevance of dependency
  grammar, including its relation to generative approaches to language

We are also interested in work on issues such as:

- What are the differences and similarities between theta roles,
  valencies, f-structures, TAG derivation trees, (subcategorization)
  frames, semantic role labelling, etc?

- Which corpus annotations using head-daughter relations on words are
  formally and linguistically equivalent, which are not?

- How to describe syntax-semantic interfaces between dependency
  structures?

 =======================================================================
                      Papers format and submission
 =======================================================================

The deadline for the submissions is April 15, 2013.
The submissions will be electronic in PDF format through the DepLing2013
EasyChair.

Papers may consist of up to 10 pages of content (including references
and figures), in the ACL two-column format.
Please see the instructions at:
http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/project/depling13/?page=call_for_papers

Reviewing of papers will be double-blind.

Bonjour ? tous,

Monsieur *Jens Edlund, *KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm,
Su?de, viendra nous pr?senter ses travaux sur :

*"**Information transfer and plain old interaction: contrasting
human-human chatter with spoken dialogue systems' information transfer"*

Date : *mercredi 18 avril ? 13h30*
Lieu : GIPSA-lab, D?partement Parole & Cognition, salle B314 du site
       Amp?re 
Plan d'acc?s : http://www.gipsa-lab.grenoble-inp.fr/plan-d-acces.php

R?sum? :
Good communication, as applied to humans meeting each other, is largely
based on subjective judgements of whether a certain sameness ? rapport ?
was bulit or not. When we measure human-machine communication, the
measures are regularly different, and focus around task completion.
In this talk, I?ll make an attempt at comparing these two views. I hope
to show that they are in essence not all that different, and that the
views of communication as either information transfer or social
hobnobbing are unnecessarily disparate.

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

*Text Mining and Applications (TEMA?13) Track of EPIA?13 - Deadline
(April 8th 3:00 pm)*

TeMA 2013 will be held at the 16th Portuguese Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (EPIA 2013) taking place at the University of Azores, Angra
do Hero?smo, Terceira Island from 9th to 13th September 2013. This track
is organized under the auspices of the Portuguese Association for
Artificial Intelligence (APPIA).

EPIA 2013 URL: http://epia2013.uac.pt/

This announcement contains:

[1] Track description; [2] Topics of interest; [3] Special Interests for
2013; [4] Important dates; [5] Paper submission; [6] Track fees; [7]
Organizing Committee; [8] Program Committee and [9] Contacts.

[1] *Track Description*

Human languages are complex by nature and efforts in pure symbolic
approaches alone have been unable to provide fully satisfying
results. Text Mining and Machine Learning techniques applied to texts
(raw or annotated) brought up new insights and completely shifted the
approaches to Human Language Technologies. Both approaches, symbolic and
statistically based, when duly integrated, have shown capabilities to
bridge the gap between language theories and effective use of languages,
and can enable important applications in real-world heterogeneous
environment such as the Web.

The most natural form of written information is raw, unstructured
text. The huge amount of this kind of textual information circulating in
the Internet nowadays (in an increasing number of different languages)
leads us to use and investigate systems, algorithms and models for
mining texts. As a consequence, Text Mining is an active research area
that is continuously broadening worldwide and fostering reinforced
interest in languages other than the most common ones such as English,
French, German and now Chinese.  This 5th Biannual Track of Text Mining
and Applications will provide, as in previous editions of the TeMA
Tracks within the EPIA Conferences, a venue for researchers to present
and share their work in intelligent computational technologies applied
to written human languages. TeMA 2013 is a forum for researchers working
in Human Language Technologies i.e. Natural Language Processing (NLP),
Computational Linguistics (CL), Natural Language Engineering (NLE), Text
Mining (TM) and related areas.

Authors are invited to submit their papers on any of the issues
identified in section [2]. Papers will be blindly reviewed by three
members of the Program Committee. Best papers will be published at
Springer, in LNAI series. If there are additional papers whose quality
is sufficiently high for deserving to be presented at TeMA 2013, those
other accepted papers will be published in a conference proceedings
book.

[2] *Topics of Interest*

Topics include but are not limited to:

Text Mining:

- Language Models
- Multi-word Units
- Lexical Knowledge Acquisition
- Word and Multi-word Sense Disambiguation
- Acquisition and Usage of Ontologies
- Lexical Cohesion
- Sentiment Analysis
- Word and Multi-word Translation Extraction
- Textual Entailment
- Text Clustering and Classification
- Algorithms and Data Structures for Text Mining
- Information Extraction
- Multi-Faceted Text Analysis: Opinions, Time, Space

Applications:

- Social Network Analysis
- Machine Translation
- Automatic Summarization
- Intelligent Information Retrieval
- Multilingual access to multilingual Information
- E-training, E-learning and Question-Answering Systems
- Web Mining

[3]* Special Interests for 2013*

The evolution of the Web has drastically changed the focus of Text
Mining as most of the texts are small in size. While, in the past, the
focus was on dealing with very large corpora of long texts, the new
reality is huge collections of tweets or posts on social media that
contain very few words in a clear multilingual environment. This is
usually referred to the Big Data (here Big Textual Data). As a
consequence, new trends have recently been appearing in Text Mining, for
example, keyword extraction, named-entity recognition, novelty
detection, event identification.

Moreover, the growing interest and quality of Wikipedia has allowed to
include knowledge on a large scale in Text Mining applications. As such,
many research have been focusing on the correct use of knowledge bases,
for example, entity information retrieval, word sense disambiguation,
ephemeral clustering.

[4] *Important dates*

April 5, 2013: Paper submission deadline
April 30, 2013: Notification of paper acceptance
May 31, 2013: Deadline for camera-ready versions

S?minaire interdisciplinaire 2012-2013 du Centre d'Alembert

(http://www.centre-dalembert.u-psud.fr)

"Sensibles, emp?ch?es, inaccessibles, ouvertes, archiv?es, revisit?es...
Les donn?es de la recherche en questions"


S?ance du mercredi 10 avril 2013
Nouvel horaire : de 13h45 ? 15h45

Quels acc?s aux donn?es ? Du "communisme" scientifique aux mod?les
propri?taires - 2?me partie

Intervenant :

Michel GUIRAUD, Professeur du Mus?um national d'Histoire naturelle
Directeur des collections

Les donn?es naturalistes ; un enjeu scientifique et socio-?conomique

L'explosion des op?rations d'informatisation et de num?risation des
donn?es des sp?cimens d'histoire naturelle pose le probl?me de leur mise
? disposition, ou de leur restriction d'acc?s, li? ? la fois ? leur
nature ?volutive au fur et ? mesure de l'avanc?e des sciences, et ?
l'?volution de la r?glementation et des conventions
internationales. Cette ?volution n?cessite la mise en place de nouvelles
pratiques de partage.

Les collections naturalistes repr?sentent approximativement 2 milliards
de donn?es sur la diversit? biologique et g?ologique. Ces informations
sont attach?es ? des sp?cimens collect?s depuis plus de 350 ans ; ce
sont des r?f?rences pour la description des esp?ces et la documentation
du changement global, mais ce aussi sont du mat?riel bien identifi? pour
des recherches appliqu?es. Les collections des mus?ums proviennent de
toutes les zones g?ographiques, et du fait de la longue histoire, de
pays dont les fronti?res ont chang? ou qui n'existaient pas. La valeur
de ces sp?cimens r?side dans l'information scientifique qui lui est
associ?; cette information est enrichie et pr?cis?e en permanence par
les chercheurs. Elles constituent un corpus n?cessaire ? la recherche en
syst?matique et depuis plusieurs ann?es des organismes internationaux
s'attachent ? les r?unir pour les mettre ? disposition de la communaut?
scientifique ? travers d'immenses bases de donn?es. N?anmoins, les
outils juridiques permettant aux pays de revendiquer le b?n?fice de ces
ressources deviennent de plus en plus contraignants. L'acc?s ? ces
donn?es est donc un enjeu qui d?passe les scientifiques ; les int?r?ts
des uns et des autres peuvent s'opposer : comment g?rer ce bien commun,
le partager au mieux des int?r?ts de tous et le pr?server pour les
g?n?rations futures ?


Intervenante :
M?lanie CL?MENT-FONTAINE, ma?tre de conf?rences HDR, codirectrice du
laboratoire Dante et du master 2 droit des NTIC de l'UVSQ

La r?surgence des communs et des communaut?s

Le d?veloppement d'Internet s'est accompagn? de la mise en partage
accrue de la production de connaissances. Dans un premier temps, cela
visait essentiellement les outils informatiques puis la pratique s'est
?tendue aux contenus. Le partage a consist? ? permettre ? tous d'avoir
acc?s aux donn?es. Un acc?s qui peut s'entendre comme la possibilit?
d'utiliser, de diffuser voire de modifier ces donn?es.

De ce ph?nom?ne socio-?conomique d'envergure est n? un conflit entre une
conception ? libertaire ? et une conception ? propri?taire ? de la
question de l'acc?s aux donn?es. Pass? ce rapport conflictuel, il est
apparu n?cessaire de r?fl?chir sur les moyens de concilier le partage et
la r?servation. ? la lumi?re des ?tudes en sociologie et en ?conomie,
les r?ponses juridiques ont consist? ? s'inspirer de notions un temps
d?laiss?es telles que les biens communs, la propri?t? collective et les
communaut?s. Ces ?tudes r?v?lent l'ambivalence de la question de l'acc?s
aux donn?es qui rel?ve ? la fois d'un r?gime d'appropriation et d'un
certain ? communisme ? scientifique.

DEADLINE APPROACHING


International Workshop on Definitions in Ontologies (DO 2013)
July 7, 2013

At ICBO 2013 (International Conference on Biomedical Ontologies)
Montreal, Canada

Website: http://definitionsinontologies.weebly.com/ 


Ontologies built using OBO Foundry principles are advised to include
both formal (logical) definitions, as well as natural language
definitions. Depending on the effort, one or the other can be
underrepresented. Possible explanations to this bottleneck are the high
cost of producing well-written definitions; an insufficient
understanding of the nature of natural language definitions or of logic;
the lack of an operational theory of definitions; the lack of studies
that evaluate usability and effectiveness of definitions in ontologies;
a paucity of tools to help with definition authoring and
checking. Producing natural language definitions is time-consuming,
costly and prone to all kinds of inconsistencies. Producing logical
definitions that are effective, correct, and communicative is also
difficult. It is therefore worth exploring different ways of assisting,
with automation, creation and quality control of definitions.

This workshop gathers interested researchers and developers to reflect
upon general themes as the selection and modeling of defining
information; the relation between definitions in specific domains as
opposed to domain-independent definitions; the theoretical underpinnings
of definitions; tools that can facilitate relating logical and natural
language definitions. In addition, we would want to encourage
participation by different communities using definitions so that their
needs can be exposed.


FORMAT AND OUTCOMES

The workshop will consist of two parts. First, selected presentations of
short papers from attendees. Second, a guided discussion based on the
participants? suggestions. This discussion is aimed at synthetizing and
prioritizing defining practices. All papers should end with a suggestion
on the defining practices or users? needs regarding definitions.  We
will, based on the presentations and discussion, collect a list of
recommendations relating to definitions in ontologies to be posted on
the workshop?s website.


INTENDED AUDIENCE

We solicit participation from developers and users from all around the
world and different linguistic communities in the areas of ontology,
natural language processing, information retrieval, logics, philosophy,
terminology and lexicology. We want to encourage participation of
ontologists and tool developers building ontology authoring tools;
philosophers and logicians who can shed light on the issues in creating
definitions; biomedical researchers interested in the role of
definitions in nomenclatures such as SNOMED; computer scientists
interested in the treatment of definitions in the framework of languages
like OWL; terminologists and lexicologists working on definitions and
their modeling; NLP researchers working on definition extraction
techniques or on information retrieval methods for definition
production; and NLP/IR researchers reusing definitions produced for
ontologies.


TOPICS

Topics of interest are split between foundational aspects, pragmatic
issues and user perspectives. Below we list some possible topics.


===== Foundational aspects =======================

   * Theories of definition and their implications for the defining
     practice
   * Realist versus conceptualist approaches in definition writing
   * Definition modeling: what kinds of information are defining
   * Domain-independent versus domain-specific definition models
   * Formal versus natural language definitions


===== Pragmatic issues ===========================

   * Quality control in definitions
   * Ways of evaluating definitions
   * Comparison and evaluation of different definition production
     techniques: handwritten, automatically generated from formal
     definitions, extracted from corpora or constructed from information
     retrieved from corpora
   * Methods and tools to automate definition production and checking
   * (Multilingual) definition generation
   * Information retrieval for definition production
   * Use of definition models to facilitate information retrieval
   * Definition extraction from corpora
   * Interactions between ontologies and lexical resources (WordNet,
     FrameNet)
   * Consequences/Strategies of giving necessary versus necessary and
     sufficient definitions, or simply sufficient definitions
   * Coordination of logical and textual definitions
   * Alternatives to and variants of definitions: elucidations,
     explanations, glosses, figures


===== User perspectives ==========================

   * Assessment of definitions used in current practice
   * Balancing needs of within discipline use and wider use of
     definitions
   * Use of specialized terminology versus general vocabulary
   * Presentation of definitions to different user audiences
   * Alternatives/Augmentations of textual definitions, such as figures
     and images for anatomy, where textual definitions may be harder to
     formulate


IMPORTANT DATES

Deadline for submission: April 15, 2013
Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2013 
Camera-ready copies for the proceedings: June 15, 2013
Workshop: July 7, 2013


SUBMISSIONS

We welcome short papers, up to 6 pages, excluding references.
All papers should end with a suggestion on the defining practices or
users? needs regarding definitions.

Papers are to be prepared using the ICBO templates
(http://www.unbsj.ca/sase/csas/data/ws/icbo2013/submissions.html) and
submitted via EasyChair
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=do2013).
All papers must be http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0
original. By submitting a paper, the authors agree to publication of
their paper in the proceedings under the CC-BY 3.0 license (open
access). The proceedings of the workshop will be published on CEUR

La prochaine s?ance du s?minaire de l'UMR Praxiling aura lieu le lundi 
15 avril 2013, de 14h ? 16h :

Intervenante : Alice KRIEG-PLANQUE
Universit? Paris-Est Cr?teil (UPEC) - C?ditec (EA 3119)

Titre : Les "argumentaires" des partis politiques : questions de genre,
d'?nonciation et de publicisation

R?sum? :
Nous nous int?ressons ? un genre de texte, appel? "argumentaire", tel
qu'il existe en tant que production discursive des partis politiques
fran?ais contemporains. Sommairement, l'"argumentaire" peut ?tre d?crit
comme un document qui pr?sente notamment un ensemble de positions,
g?n?ralement argument?es, donn?es ? voir comme ?tant celles de
l'organisation partisane sur un th?me ou sujet donn? (argumentaire du
PCF sur le Pacte budg?taire europ?en, argumentaire de l'UMP sur les 100
premiers jours de Fran?ois Hollande...).
Mais c'est moins le bornage univoque d'une d?finition de
l'"argumentaire" qui nous int?resse qu'une exploration de quelques-unes
des principales dimensions de ce type de texte. En effet,
l'"argumentaire" se pr?te particuli?rement bien ? des questionnements
vari?s, ? la crois?e de la linguistique, de l'analyse du discours, des
sciences politiques, et des sciences de l'information et de la
communication.
Ainsi, au fil de l'expos?, cinq aspects de l'"argumentaire" retiennent
plus particuli?rement notre attention : sa d?nomination, qui rel?ve du
m?talangage ordinaire des acteurs et rattache l'existence du genre avant
tout ? des pratiques d'?criture identifiables pour le parti politique ;
ses caract?ristiques discursives internes, qui font appara?tre
l'importance que l'"argumentaire" accorde au dialogisme interdiscursif ;
son identit? de document de communication, en tant qu'il est constitu?
d'?nonc?s con?us pour ?tre repris dans le cadre d'un travail
d'argumentation men? par le militant ; sa multifonctionnalit?, alliant
affirmation de l'autorit? du parti, formation des militants, animation
du d?bat public, et persuasion ; enfin, ses transformations sous l'effet
du recours ? l'internet dans la communication politique partisane.

We are happy to announce the opening of the registration for the new
2013 Retrieving Diverse Social Images Task of the MediaEval Multimedia
Benchmark.

**About the Retrieving Diverse Social Images 2013 Task**

The diversity task is a new task for 2013. The task addresses the
problem of result diversification in social photo retrieval.

We consider a tourist use case where a person tries to find more
information about a place she is potentially visiting. The person has
only a vague idea about the location, knowing the name of the place. She
uses the name to learn additional information about the monument from
the Internet, for instance by visiting a Wikipedia page, e.g., getting a
photo, the geographical position of the place and basic descriptions.
Before deciding whether this location suits her needs, the person is
interested in getting a more complete visual description of the place.

In this task, participants are provided with a ranked list of photos of
a location retrieved from common social photo search engines. These
results are typically noisy and redundant.

The task requires participants to exploit the provided visual and
textual information to refine these results by selecting only a sub-set
of photos.
The selected photos should be equally representative - accurate matches
of the query location, diverse - depicting the query location in a
complete manner (e.g., different views of a monument at different times
of the day/year and under different weather conditions, drawings,
sketches) and compact - select only very few results (e.g., 10-20 photos
per query that fit a typical page of search results).

**Task schedule (tentative)**

March-May: Registration and return usage agreements.
1 May: Release of development/training data.
3 June: Release of test data.
9 September: Participants submit their completed runs.
16 September: Evaluation of submitted runs.
30 September: Participants write their 2-page working notes papers.
18-19 October: MediaEval 2013 Workshop, Barcelona, Spain
The workshop is timed so that it is possible to attend both ACM
Multimedia 2013 (http://acmmm13.org/) and the MediaEval 2013 workshop in
the same trip.

The registration for The 25th European Summer School in Logic, Language
and Information (ESSLLI 2013) is now open. ESSLLI 2013 will be held in
D?sseldorf, Germany, August 5-16, 2013.

In order to register, go to esslli2013.de/registration.

The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI)
is organized every year by the Association for Logic, Language and
Information (FoLLI) in different sites around Europe. Under the auspices
of FoLLI (the Association for Logic, Language, and Information), ESSLLI
brings together logicians, linguists, computer scientists, and
philosophers to study language, logic, and information, and their
interconnections. The school hosts approximately 50 courses at both
introductory and advanced levels, and brings together around 500
participants from all over the world. Along with the courses, ESSLLI
hosts workshops and invited lectures, providing opportunities for
in-depth discussion of current research.

Anyone who has been to D?sseldorf will recall places like K?nigsallee,
the Altstadt (Old Town), MedienHafen or the Rhine embankment promenade.
For good reason ? these places are to D?sseldorf what the Eiffel Tower
is to Paris. The state capital of North Rhine-Westphalia has even more
to offer. Recent years have seen the development of a thriving young
alternative scene in D?sseldorf. Up-and-coming quarters such as
Flingern, Bilk and Derendorf are becoming red-hot forges of original
art, culture, fashion and music.

For more information on ESSLLI and on D?sseldorf, please check our
website at esslli2013.de. We are very proud to be hosting the 25th
ESSLLI in D?sseldorf and we look forward to seeing you there!

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

Online social networks are associated to many disciplines, e.g.
mathematics, computer science, social and biological sciences.  Besides
of their social characteristics these networks have their own specific
features at the system level.

Techniques of information retrieval, databases, preference modeling,
graph theory, etc.  are integrated there and adapted into dynamic
environment with high scalability.

The workshop Social Data Processing (SDS) continues a successful 1st
year organized in conjunction with the ADBIS 2012 conference. SDS is
focused on data processing issues associated with online social networks
and takes up the topics of the main ADBIS conference, i.e. classical and
today?EUR^(TM)s hot database themes as well as various aspects of social
computing.

The workshop plans to focus on the following areas:

* data modeling for social networks
* social networks and graph databases
* social networks and relational databases
* social networks and data streaming
* a database perspective of social networks data processing
* computational aspects of social networks
* extraction, querying, and analysis of social networks
* general professional social networks
* field specific professional social networks
* human testing of software prototypes in a social network
* behavioral modeling and social networks
* affective social computing
* mining techniques for the social Web
* automatic discovery and analysis of Web based social networks
* network evolution and growth mechanisms
* information diffusion in social networks
* detection of communities by document analysis
* search algorithms on social networks.

First Call for Papers

Workshop on Scalability in Natural Language Processing
https://sites.google.com/site/scanlp2013/

Full-day workshop in conjunction with RANLP 2013

Deadline: 3 July 2013, 23:59 Hawaii Time
****************************************************************

This workshop, held in conjunction with RANLP 2013, aims to introduce
contemporary work and to discuss novel methods for natural language
processing at a large scale, and explore how the resulting technology
and methods can be reused in applications both on the Web and in the
physical world.

DESCRIPTION

For a processing approach to be scalable, it should be to take on large
volumes of data; it can work through them at high speed; and it can
smoothly adapt to changes in these needs. We discuss this in the context
of NLP, with particular focus on the core tasks of resource creation,
discourse processing, and evaluation.

Now is a particularly important time to develop scalable methods in our
field. Big data is here and the benefits of effectively getting through
it remain to be harvested by the pioneers. Huge datasets are becoming
available: Google Books contains 155 billion tokens, over which only
shallow surveys have been conducted; the new Common Crawl web corpus
contains over 60 terabytes of text and metadata. But size alone is not a
driver for scalable methods - the rapid text content creation we see
every day presents masses of data we are not yet equipped to handle. For
example, Twitter alone is responsible for 500 million microtexts every
day; the publicly-visible Wordpress.org holds a part of the 2 million
blog documents we create every 24 hours.

As well as big text data becoming prolific, demand for this data is also
high. The fast, un-curated nature of microtext has been shown to be of
value in stock valuation by multiple researchers.  User location and
movement analysis enables powerful search and analysis modes, such as
computational journalism and powerful personalisation. Sentiment
detection informs corporations, governance and political
activities. Media monitoring requires extracting and co-referring
entities and events from thousands of outlets in real time. And finally,
the emerging field of deep learning places but one core demand in all
its guises: large amounts of data. All these applications' pressures
create a demand for NLP that can be done quickly and broadly.

There is more demand than ever for scalable natural language
processing. Many organisations are interested in the potential results
as big data becomes better defined and data-intensive approaches to
computational linguistics reach production-level performance. Enormous
quantities of data, from user input to news archives, are being mined
using more powerful and computationally demanding techniques. The
organisation, variety, integrity and public availability of the
resulting resources will have a major impact on how we continue to do
science.

Newly introduced data-intensive approaches to computational linguistics
continue thrive on input volume; we need scalable technology to handle
the next order of magnitude in corpus sizes and, given the nature of
language, to continue data-intensive advances in our field.

 =======================================================================
TOPICS OF INTEREST

With regard to Scalable NLP, we aim to encourage discussion regarding
three key areas of natural language processing: resource creation;
processing of discourse; and evaluation:

-- General scalability issues
-- Application approaches
-- Performance limits
-- Flexible resource creation
-- Parallelising annotation
-- Handling huge corpora
-- Crowdsourcing for corpus creation
-- Decomposing resource creation tasks
-- Rapid or realtime annotation quality assessment
-- Running NLP in the cloud
-- Privacy issues
-- NLP application optimisation / parallelisation
-- Scalable machine learning for NLP
-- High performance computing for NLP
-- Rapid evaluation
-- On-line learning for NLP
-- Reinforcement learning
-- Iterative and ensemble learning
-- Hypothesis generation

In addition to the invited talk and presentations, the worskhop will
include a 30-minute hands-on demonstration slot with participants doing
NLP in the cloud using GATECloud, possibly including social media
processing using GATE TwitIE (supported and funded by the organisers).

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline: 5 July 2013
Notification of acceptance: 2 August 2013
Camera-ready copies due: 16 August 2013

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

SUBMISSION

Submission is via EasyChair:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scanlp2013

All submissions must be in PDF format and must follow the RANLP template
(http://lml.bas.bg/ranlp2013/submissions.php#styles)

Multiple submission policy: We welcome papers that are under review for
other venues, but, in the event of multiple acceptances, authors are
requested to notify us and choose which meeting to present and publish
the work at as soon as possible - we cannot accept for publication or
presentation work that will be (or has been) published elsewhere.

Reviewing: Reviewing will be blind. No information identifying the
authors should be in the paper: this includes not only the authors'
names and affiliations, but also self-references that reveal authors'
identities; for example, "We have previously shown (Smith 1999)" should
be changed to "Smith (1999) has previously shown".

Paper length and presentation: We invite long (8) and short (4) papers.
Accepted short papers will be presented either as short oral
presentations or as posters.

ACL 2013 Workshop on Discourse in Machine Translation (DiscoMT)
Friday, August 9, 2013 - Sofia, Bulgaria


Final call for papers


Over the past four years, there has been a resurgence of interest in
machine translation from the perspective of discourse, and in discourse
from the perspective of machine translation.  This includes ensuring
document-level consistency in the choice of lexical items or referring
forms or in document style or register; translating discourse phenomena
that depend on more than just the context of the current sentence or of
n-grams to the left and/or right; and ensuring that source-language
discourse relations between clauses and/or sentences are also realized
in the target text.

Given this renewed interest, we are pleased to invite paper submissions
to the ACL 2013 Workshop on Discourse in MT, to be held on August 9,
2013 in Sofia.

The papers should focus on language processing techniques, whether
theoretically-inspired or empirical, which address one or more of the
discourse-level phenomena listed below, either in combination with MT,
or from a cross-lingual perspective.  We especially welcome papers that
propose methods and software which enhance the capabilities of MT
systems on discourse-level phenomena.  Papers assessing the importance
and origins of MT difficulties with discourse, including research and
commercial MT systems, are suitable as well.

The proposed workshop solicits submissions more particularly focused on
the following topics, but welcomes also submissions that link discourse
studies with machine translation in some other way.

- discourse processing in support of MT, including:
   o textual coherence, including anaphora, coreference, tense,
     aspect and modality
   o textual cohesion, including lexical consistency
   o discourse structure, including appropriate use of connectives and
     information structuring devices
   o topic structure
   o consistency in style and register
- MT techniques for obtaining document-level consistency and domain
  adaptability;
- MT techniques for structured documents;
- methods and algorithms to handle discourse-level phenomena in
  MT training and decoding;
- uses of MT in processing discourse-level phenomena;
- techniques for assessing the impact of discourse-level processing on
  MT quality;
- quantitative studies on the impact of discourse-level phenomena on
  current MT systems vs. discourse-aware ones.

Submission instructions

We solicit previously unpublished work, presented either as long or
short papers, following the ACL 2013 formatting guidelines available at
http://acl2013.org/site/call.html.  Long papers should have at most 8
pages of content, not including references.  Short papers are limited to
4 pages of content, not including references.  There is no constraint on
the length of the reference list.  Both types of submissions should be
anonymous, i.e. do not disclose in any way the identity of the
author(s).  Papers must be submitted using the START system at the URL
indicated on the workshop's website.

les 13, 14 et 15 novembre 2013	

2?me circulaire 

Le ph?nom?ne phras?ologique a donn? lieu ? des recherches diversifi?es
ces derni?res ann?es, ce qui rend n?cessaire un point d??tape,
permettant d?affiner et de mettre en regard les diff?rents objets
d??tude concern?s.  Une telle extension n?cessite en effet une
d?finition pr?cise de la phras?ologie, de ses unit?s minimales
d?analyse, des m?thodes descriptives adopt?es et des champs
d?application explor?s.

C?est pourquoi, nous invitons les chercheurs travaillant sur la
phras?ologie, ind?pendamment de leur domaine de sp?cialit? (syntaxe,
s?mantique, pragmatique, traitement automatique, traduction, didactique,
lexicographie, psycholinguistique, socio-linguistique, rh?torique,
terminologie, litt?rature, etc.) ? mener une r?flexion pour :

- contribuer ? cette d?limitation du champ de la phras?ologie aussi bien
  en termes de langues (langue g?n?rale/langues sp?cialis?es) que
  d?expressions discursives,

- dresser un bilan g?n?ral des m?thodologies ?prouv?es par les
  descriptions effectu?es, notamment en ce qui concerne les concepts
  m?thodologiques stabilis?s dans le discours des phras?ologues,

- pointer les diff?rentes ressources disponibles en vue d?en donner une

?-------------IVA 2013 FINAL Call For Papers ?--------------------
Thirteenth International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents
http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/iva2013/

August 29-31st Edinburgh, Scotland, UK

***Submission EXTENDED to April 21st ****
Submit at:?http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/iva2013/Submission.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

IVA 2013 is an interdisciplinary annual conference and the main leading
scientific forum for presenting research on modelling, developing and
evaluating intelligent virtual agents with a focus on communicative
abilities and social behaviour. In addition to presentations on
theoretical issues, the conference encourages the showcasing of working
applications. Researchers from the fields of human-human and human-robot
interaction are also encouraged to share work with a relevance to
intelligent virtual agents.

SPECIAL TOPIC: "Virtual Agents and Cognition". In 2013 the IVA
conference will have a special theme on cognitive modelling in Virtual
Agents. This topic will touch on many aspects of Intelligent Virtual
Agent theory and application. To name a few areas, we will especially
encourage submissions that deal with IVAs and models of personality;
theory of mind; learning and adaptation; motivation and goal-management;
creativity; social and culturally-specific behaviour. Models must be
explicitly related to IVAs but need not be implemented as
yet. Application areas include social and culture training, heritage,
entertainment and persuasive interaction. Issues include how systems
relate to the original theory and how they can be evaluated.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Design, Modelling and Evaluation of IVAs
* design criteria and design methodologies
* evaluation methodologies and user studies
* ethical considerations and social impact
* applicable lessons from other fields (e.g. robotics)
* improvisational or dramatic interaction
* dimensions of intelligence, cognition and behaviour
* models of multimodal perception and action
* models of emotionally communicative behaviour
* models of conversational behaviour
* design of virtual actors
* Other (non cognition-inspired) conceptual frameworks and models for
  IVAs

Implementation and Applications of IVAs
* software engineering issues
* real-time integrated systems
* portability and reuse
* standards / measures to support interoperability
* specialized tools, toolkits and tool chains
* specialized modelling and animation technologies
* applications in games, education, art, etc.
* delivery platforms: desktop, single vs. multi-user, virtual or
  augmented or mixed reality, robots
* future or current experience in various fields, e.g.: Interactive
  narrative and story-telling, computer games, art and entertainment,
  education and training, simulation and visualization


Special Topic: IVAs and Cognition: Conceptual Frameworks and Models
***Note that papers are expected to relate models discussed SPECIFICALLY
to IVAs**
* selecting a 'good' cognitive model for agents
 (theoretical foundations, formal models for virtual agents and
  proofs of concept)
* stages of autonomy (from avatars to agents)
* cognitive models for perception and/or ?behaviour generation
* simulations of groups and crowds
  (crowd behaviours, action-perception loops in crowds)
* learning and adapting IVAs
  (learned, evolved or emergent knowledge and/or behaviour)
* long-term management of IVA goals
* drives, motivations, action selection systems for IVAs
* socially and culturally competent IVAs
* personality and emotion models for IVAs
* Theory of Mind models for IVAs
* evaluation approaches for IVAs with embedded cognitive models

SUBMISSION DETAILS

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers (12 pages), short
papers (6 pages), or poster papers (1-2 pages) in Springer Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS) format. The proceedings will be published in
the Springer LNCS series.

Num?ro sp?cial sur les Entit?s Nomm?es et leurs relations

Direction :

Sophia Ananiadou (Sophia.ananiadou at manchester.ac.uk) 
Nathalie Friburger (nathalie.friburger at univ-tours.fr)
Sophie Rosset (sophie.rosset at limsi.fr)

Les entit?s nomm?es constituent un champ de recherche tr?s actif depuis
de nombreuses ann?es. Elles sont depuis longtemps consid?r?es comme un
point central dans de nombreuses applications mettant en jeu des notions
comme la compr?hension, la recherche s?mantique, etc.

La notion d'Entit?s Nomm?es (EN) couvre non seulement les noms propres
mais aussi des entit?s plus complexes comme les expressions
multi-mots. Les entit?s nomm?es sont en g?n?ral typ?es selon des
taxonomies plus ou moins vastes et fortement d?pendantes du domaine
d'application ou des besoins consid?r?s. Elles recouvrent classiquement
des noms d?signant des personnes, des lieux ou des organisations mais
peuvent aussi se rapporter ? des notions plus techniques comme les
maladies.

La d?tection des entit?s et de leurs relations, malgr? de nombreuses
ann?es de recherche, reste un probl?me difficile. Les principaux points
? r?soudre incluent la r?solution des ambigu?t?s, la d?tection des
synonymes, la co-r?f?rence et la variabilit? (acronymes, orthographe
etc.). Plusieurs m?thodes ont ?t? propos?es et ?valu?es pour am?liorer
la d?tection et la classification des entit?s ainsi que leurs
relations. Ces m?thodes vont des approches fond?es sur des connaissances
explicites (approches ? base de r?gles, de lexiques, etc.) aux approches
? base d'apprentissage supervis?, faiblement supervis? voire non
supervis?.

L'?valuation des syst?mes de d?tection des entit?s n?cessite au minimum
l'existence de corpus de r?f?rence (gold standard). L'?valuation des
relations ajoute un niveau de complexit? puisqu'il s'agit, le plus
souvent, d'une t?che complexe impliquant la d?tection des entit?s puis
des relations entre elles. Comment ?valuer la d?tection des relations
dans le cadre d'une t?che compl?te ? Quelle m?trique utiliser pour tenir
compte des erreurs de la t?che pr?c?dente (d?tection des EN) ?

Si les entit?s nomm?es simples permettent d'atteindre de bons voire de
tr?s bons r?sultats, il n'en va pas de m?me lorsque leur d?finition est
complexe ou lorsqu'on traite des domaines sp?cialis?s.

Nous invitons donc les contributions portant sur tout aspect relatif au
traitement des entit?s nomm?es, et en particulier (liste non exclusive)
:

* d?finition et typologie des entit?s nomm?es, y compris dans un sens
  ?tendu

* D?tection des entit?s nomm?es et type de documents (r?sum?s, articles,
  ressources collaboratives comme Wikipedia, domaine de sp?cialit?,
  media sociaux comme twitter, emails, file de discussion, parole...)

* D?tection des empans et analyse structurelle des EN

* Co-r?f?rence inter-documents et suivi d'entit?s

* Suivi d'entit?s ? travers le temps, les groupes sociaux et
  g?ographiques, suivi d'entit?s intra- et inter-documents, etc.

* Reconnaissance d'entit?s nomm?es dans le domaine g?n?ral ou en domaine
  de sp?cialit?

* Guides et sch?mas d'annotation, outils, m?thodes et corpus annot?s

* Aspects multilingues, extraction d'entit?s dans des corpus
  comparables ou parall?les

* D?sambigu?sation des entit?s

* Applications et entit?s

* ?valuation, comparaison et validation d'outils

LANGUE

Les articles sont ?crits en fran?ais ou en anglais. Les soumissions en
anglais ne sont accept?es que pour les auteurs non francophones.

ACL 2013 Workshop: PITR 2013
The Second Workshop on Predicting and Improving Text Readability for
Target Reader Populations
http://mcs.open.ac.uk/nlg/PITR2013/

Date of Workshop: 8 August, 2013

Deadline for submissions: April 28, 2013

The Second Workshop on Predicting and Improving Text Readability for
Target Reader Populations Workshop will be be held in conjunction with
the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) 2013 conference, 4 -
9 August, 2013, at the National Palace of Culture, Sofia, Bulgaria.


CALL FOR PAPERS
Many NLP systems generate or reformulate human language but how readable
is the output? What makes language easy or difficult to read for
different types of readers? How can existing text be manipulated to
improve information access? How does writing style affect readability,
comprehension, and appreciation of text? The last few years have seen a
resurgence of interest in these questions amongst computational
linguists as attention turns to more sophisticated techniques for
textual presentation and to address the widely differing needs of end
users. The relevance of this research area has spawned a number of
workshops on related topics, for example, SL-PAT 2012
(slpat.org<http://slpat.org/>) and NLP4ITA 2012
(www.taln.upf.edu/nlp4ita/<http://www.taln.upf.edu/nlp4ita/>), and a new
special interest group, Speech and Language Processing for Assistive
Technologies (slpat.org<http://slpat.org/>), which sponsors this
workshop.

PITR is a cross-disciplinary workshop bringing together researchers in
any field concerned with the readability, accessibility and quality of
text, particularly computational linguists, psycholinguists and
educational researchers. We solicit papers on:

 - Reformulation of existing text (text-to-text systems)
 - Generation of readable language from data (data-to-text systems)
 - Generation of text in specific styles and registers for readability
 - Evaluation of language simplification strategies
 - Evaluation of the readability of computer-generated text
 - Evaluation of the readability of machine translation output
 - Prediction of aspects of text style related to readability
 - Prediction of the readability of documents
 - Readability issues in specialist texts such as questionnaires, exam
   questions, safety instructions, etc.
 - Novel evaluation strategies for assessing text readability
 - Novel readability metrics
 - Techniques for simplifying lexis
 - Techniques for simplifying syntax
 - Techniques for simplifying discourse properties (making text more
   transparent, etc.)
 - Techniques for manipulating textual layout to improve accessibility
 - Techniques for making descriptions of numerical quantities more
   accessible
 - Techniques for making technical terminology more accessible
 - Techniques for making descriptions of logical statements more
   accessible
 - Techniques for explaining complex ideas through accessible text
 - Systems aimed at adults with poor literacy
 - Systems aimed at children learning to read
 - Systems aimed at 2nd language learners
 - Systems aimed at people with language deficits (aphasia, deafness,
   neurodegeneration, etc.)
 - Systems aimed at non-experts accessing technical material


SUBMISSIONS
Papers should prepared in ACL format (see
http://acl2013.org/site/call.html) not exceeding 8 pages in length plus
up to 2 additional pages for references. Papers should also be
anonymised for blind reviewing.

Please submit your paper via the online START Conference Manager system:
https://www.softconf.com/acl2013/PITR2013/

Some authors will be invited to give oral presentations. All accepted
authors will be expected to present a poster. Last year, the poster
session was very lively, giving poster-only authors and
oral-presentation authors ample opportunities to discuss their research.

ProLMF est une ressource libre de noms propres, au format d'?change LMF
(Lexical Markup Framework), qui a la particularit? de rassembler des
noms propres, en s'int?ressant aussi ? la morphologie flexionnelle et
d?rivationnelle de ces noms. Cette ressource est pr?sent?e et
t?l?chargeable sur le site du CNRTL (Centre national de ressources
textuelles et lexicales). Elle est issue du projet Prolex du Laboratoire
d'informatique de l'universit? Fran?ois-Rabelais de Tours et, plus
particuli?rement, de la base de donn?es Prolexbase.

La version 1.2 corrige quelques erreurs de la version 1.1, contient des
entr?es suppl?mentaires (en particulier gr?ce ? des r?gles
d'aliasisation) et propose des nouveaut?s: quelques petits lexiques en
d'autres langues que le fran?ais et, en fran?ais, une indication sur la
pr?sence ou non des articles et sur la pr?position locative pr?c?dant
les noms de pays, ainsi que des sch?mas lexicaux de contextualisation,
concernant, soit le nom propre seul (Paris/la ville de Paris), soit le
nom propre en relation d'accessibilit? avec un autre nom propre (Paris,
la capitale de la France).

En r?sum?, ProLMF 1.2 comporte : 
? un lexique fran?ais avec lemme, forme et sens pour chaque entr?e
  lexicale, ainsi que des sch?mas de contextualisation ; 
? quelques petits lexiques (allemand, anglais, italien, n?erlandais,
  polonais, portugais et serbe) avec uniquement lemme et sens ; 
? et une description au niveau multilingue avec des informations
  typologiques et, surtout, des relations entre noms propres (synonymie,
  m?ronymie et accessibilit?).

Quelques chiffres: 
Nombre de langues : 8 
Nombre d'entr?es lexicales en fran?ais : 73 029 
Nombre de pivots : 55 250 
Nombre de relations : 53 347 (2 977 accessibilit?s, 49 699 m?ronymies et
                              671 synonymies) 
Nombre de lemmes : 75 368 
Nombre de formes fl?chies : 123 859 (78 449 noms, 9 543 adjectifs et 219

Call for Course and Workshop Proposals

ESSLLI 2014

26th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information

Tuebingen, Germany

August 11-22, 2014

www.esslli2014.de

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

IMPORTANT DATES
===============

15 June 2013:      Proposal submission deadline
15 September 2013: Notification
1 June 2014:       Course material due


TOPICS AND FORMAT
=================

Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI'2014 are invited in all
areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computing and Information Sciences.
Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged.

Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions,
offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week.  Proposals for two-week
courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week
courses, e.g. as an introductory course followed by an advanced one.  In
such cases, the ESSLLI program committee reserves the right to accept
just one of the two proposals.

All instructional and organizational work at ESSLLI is performed
completely on a voluntary basis, so as to keep participation fees to a
minimum.  However, organizers and instructors have their registration
fees waved, and are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses up
to a level to be determined and communicated with the proposal
notification.  ESSLLI can only guarantee reimbursement for at most one
course/workshop organizer, and can not guarantee full reimbursement of
travel costs for lecturers or organizers from outside of Europe.  The
ESSLLI organizers would appreciate any help in controlling the School's
expenses by seeking complete coverage of travel and accommodation
expenses from other sources.


CATEGORIES
==========

Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories.

* FUNDAMENTAL COURSES *

Such courses are designed to present the basics of a research area, to
people with no prior knowledge in that area.  They should be of
elementary level, without prerequisites in the course's topic, though
possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the relevant
discipline.  They should enable researchers from related disciplines to
develop a level of comfort with the fundamental concepts and techniques
of the course's topic, thereby contributing to the interdisciplinary
nature of our research community.


* INTRODUCTORY COURSES *

Introductory courses are central to ESSLLI's mission.  They are intended
to introduce a research field to students, young researchers, and other
non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its basic
methods and techniques. Such courses should enable researchers from
related disciplines to develop some comfort and competence in the topic
considered.  Introductory courses in a cross-disciplinary area may
presuppose general knowledge of the related disciplines.


* ADVANCED COURSES *

Advanced courses are targeted primarily to graduate students who wish to
acquire a level of comfort and understanding in the current research of
a field.


* WORKSHOPS *

Workshops focus on specialized, usually topics of current
interest. Workshops organizers are responsible for soliciting papers and
selecting the workshop program. They are also responsible for publishing
proceedings if they decide to have proceedings.



PROPOSAL GUIDELINES
===================

Course and workshop proposals should follow closely the following
guidelines to ensure full consideration.

Each course may have no more than two instructors, and each workshop no
more than two organizers.  All instructors and organizers must possess a
PhD or equivalent degree by the submission deadline.

Course proposals should mention explicitly the intended course category.
Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the intended level,
for example as it relates to standard textbooks and monographs in the
area.  Proposals for advanced courses should specify the prerequisites
in detail.

Proposals must be submitted in PDF format via:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esslli2014

and include all of the following:

o Personal information for each proposer:
Name, affiliation, contact address, email, fax, homepage (optional)

o General proposal information: Title, category

o Contents information
*  Abstract of up to 150 words
*  Motivation and description (up to two pages)
*  Tentative outline
*  Expected level and prerequisites
*  Appropriate references
   (e.g. textbooks, monographs, proceedings, surveys)

o Practical information:
*  Relevant preceding meetings and events, if applicable
*  Potential external funding for participants

LAST CALL FOR PAPERS

The 8th International Workshop on Vocabularies, Ontologies and Rules for
the Enterprise and Beyond (VORTE 2013)

Co-located with the 17th IEEE International EDOC Conference?
Vancouver, BC, 9th-13th September, 2013


WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

The VORTE series of workshops is traditionally devoted to the topics of
vocabularies, ontologies and rules in the context of enterprise
systems. This year, the workshop takes a broader view and does not
target only enterprise systems, but also systems managing data on the
Web. In fact, there is a need to exploit unstructured data in the
enterprise, and on the Web in general, as the majority of Web content
and enterprise content remains unstructured. Thus, the challenge of
managing, extracting and structuring data is common to both worlds, and
solutions in one community will benefit the other.

Examples of topics covered by traditional VORTE research contributions
include the development and adaptation of foundational, business and
domain ontologies for the enterprise, the use of ontologies and rules in
all aspects of enterprise modeling such as business process management
and services, the enhancement of rules and services with formal
semantics, and the evaluation of such systems and approaches.

This year, the workshop is also a forum for the discussion of
ontology-based knowledge management issues, interoperability issues and
ontology engineering issues. The workshop also welcomes contributions on
initiatives related to semantic annotation, open linked data,
information extraction, ontology learning and update and ontology-based
knowledge management as well as empirical studies on these areas.

TOPICS

Knowledge management:
- Ontology and ontological methodologies in knowledge management and
  integration;
- Ontology engineering, learning and maintenance;
- Ontology integration and alignment;
- Ontology effectiveness and evaluation;

Web of Data:
- Ontology-based Semantic annotation
- Linked data-based semantic annotation
- Knowledge extraction including entity extraction and relationship
  extraction
- Knowledge retrieval based on Open linked data

Vocabularies and Ontologies for the enterprise:
- Ontology-driven representation of products, services, functionalities,
  design, processes;
- Ontologies for the know-how;
- Ontologies for corporate knowledge;
- Upper-level ontologies in the enterprise;
- Adaptation of ontologies for companies and organizations;

Conceptual and Enterprise Modeling:
- Ontological Foundations for Conceptual Modeling and Meta-modeling
- Ontology Design and maintenance for Conceptual Model Integration;
- Ontology-Based Conceptual Modeling Tools and Environments
- Ontologies and Enterprise Architecture Modeling
- Ontologies and Business Process Modeling
- Ontologies and Goal-Based Modeling
- Ontologies and Business Rules

Enterprise Semantic Interoperability:
- Web services, Semantic services
- Composition and Modularity
- Merging, Mapping and Alignment
- Ontology Language Interoperability
- Open linked data publishing and exploitation

Case studies and Evaluation:
- Practical issues in using ontologies in enterprises
- Real cases of successful/unsuccessful use of ontology in business
- From legacy systems to the new ontology-driven systems
- Practical issues in knowledge extraction and annotation
- Semantic annotation evaluation
- Ontology learning evaluation

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

We solicit two types of papers:

- Short papers (4 pages) discussing controversial issues in the field or
  describing interesting or thought-provoking ideas that are not yet
  fully developed; and

- Full papers (8-10 pages) describing more mature results

All submissions MUST conform to the two-column format of IEEE Computer
Society conference proceedings
(http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) and include the
author's name, affiliation, and contact details.

Papers must be submitted as PDF files using EasyChair at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vorte2013

All papers must not have been previously published or submitted
elsewhere.

The papers accepted for the EDOC 2013 Workshops will be published along
with EDOC proceedings in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. At least one
of the authors for each accepted paper must register for the main
conference (there will be no workshop-only registration at EDOC 2013)
and present their papers at the workshop.

Post-conference Journal Publication
For previous editions of the workshop, special issues have been
published in journals such as Applied Ontology (2007), IJBPIM (2007),
Elsevier's Information Systems (2008, 2010), and Journal of Research
Practice in Information Technology (2009).
This year, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended
versions of their papers for consideration for a special issue of a
reputable journal. The journal is to be determined.

SIGDIAL 2013 website.

Special Theme: Discourse and Dialogue in Social Media

Processing language in social media has attracted a noticeable amount of
interest in recent years. Language in this new kind of media offers many
opportunities and challenges, from the point of view of discourse and
dialogue. To start with, an astounding amount of conversational data is
created each day on Twitter and Facebook, but also on many
blogs. Additionally, social media provides a window into a variety of
human behaviors that rarely appear in the controlled data sets our
community is accustomed to work with. We invite submissions on all
aspects of discourse and dialogue processing of language as used in a
variety of social media platforms, from Twitter and Facebook, to any
type of blogs, micro-blogs, collaborative wikis, and multimedia sharing
sites. We particularly welcome contributions that highlight new insights
into discourse and dialogue phenomena in this new genre, or describe new
discourse and dialogue processing models emerging from it.

INVITED SPEAKERS

Dr Jerome R. Bellegarda, Apple Inc, USA
Prof Bonnie L. Webber, University of Edinburgh, UK

SUBMISSIONS

The program committee welcomes the submission of long papers, short
papers, and demo descriptions. All accepted submissions will be
published in the conference proceedings.

Long papers will be presented in full plenary presentations. They must
be no longer than 8 pages, including title, content, and examples. Two
additional pages are allowed for references and appendices, which may
include extended example discourses or dialogs, algorithms, graphical
representations, etc.

Short papers will be featured in short plenary presentations, followed
by posters. They should be no longer than 4 pages, including title and
content. One additional page is allowed for references and appendices.

Demonstrations will be presented in special sessions, separate from
short paper presentations and poster sessions. Demo descriptions will
appear in a dedicated section of the proceedings and should be no longer
than 3 pages, including references. To encourage late breaking demos,
demo submissions have a later deadline.

Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or
publications must provide this information (see submission
format). SIGDIAL 2013 cannot accept for publication or presentation work
that will be (or has been) published elsewhere, except for
demonstrations. Any questions regarding submissions can be sent to the
technical program co-chairs at program-chairs[at]sigdial.org.

Authors are encouraged to submit additional supportive material such as
video clips or sound clips and examples of available resources for
review purposes.

Submission is electronic using paper submission software at
https://www.softconf.com/d/sigdial2013/

FORMAT

All long, short, and demo submissions should follow the two-column ACL
2013 format. We strongly recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or
Microsoft Word style files tailored for the ACL 2013
conference. Submissions must conform to the official ACL 2013 style
guidelines (http://acl2013.org/site/call.html), and they must be
electronic in PDF. As in most previous years, submissions will not be
anonymous.

MENTORING SERVICE

For several years, the SIGDIAL conference has offered a mentoring
service. Submissions with innovative core ideas that may need language
(English) or organizational assistance will be flagged for "mentoring"
and conditionally accepted with recommendation to revise with a
mentor. An experienced mentor who has previously published in the
SIGDIAL venue will then help the authors of these flagged papers prepare
their submissions for publication. Any questions about the mentoring
service can be addressed to the mentoring chair, Dr. Kallirroi Georgila,
at kgeorgila[at]ict.usc.edu.

BEST PAPER AWARDS

In order to recognize significant advancements in dialog and discourse
science and technology, SIGDIAL will recognize two best paper awards. A
selection committee consisting of prominent researchers in the fields of
interest will select the recipients of the awards.

SPONSORSHIP

SIGDIAL offers a number of opportunities for sponsors. For more
information, email the conference organizers at
sigdial-conf[at]sigdial.org.

DIALOGUE AND DISCOURSE

SIGDIAL authors are encouraged to submit their research to the journal
Dialogue and Discourse, which is endorsed by SIGDIAL.

===========================================================
Second International Conference on Dependency Linguistics
                     DepLing 2013

       http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/project/depling13/
===========================================================
                Final Call for Papers
===========================================================

DepLing 2013 will be held at the Faculty of Mathematics
and Physics, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic
on August 27-30, 2013.
The conference is organized by the Institute of Formal
and Applied Linguistics.

DepLing 2013 is the second conference in the DepLing series
(the first was held in Barcelona, Spain in 2011).
The series responds to the growing need for linguistic
meetings dedicated to syntactic, semantic and lexicographic
approaches that are centered around dependency as a central
notion.

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

   EXTENDED Submission deadline: April 22, 2013
   Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2013
   Camera-ready copy of papers due: June 17, 2013
   Depling Conference: August 27-31, 2013

============================================================
                Proceedings Publication
============================================================

In addition to the electronic version, there will be a hard
copy version of the Proceedings published by the MATFYZPRESS
(with the ISBN) available to the conference participants
at the registration. The papers accepted for the conference
will be indexed by the ACL Anthology.

============================================================
                        Topics
============================================================

Topics include, but are not limited to:

- The use of dependency trees in syntactic analysis,
description, formalization, parsing, generation, and corpus
annotation of written and spoken texts.
- The use of semantic valency-based predicate and actancy
graph structures and their link to classical logic.
- The elaboration of formal dictionaries for dependency-based
syntax and semantics, including descriptions of collocations
and paradigmatic relations.
- Links to morphology and linearization of dependency
structures, using for example topological field theories
- Dependency-like structures beyond the sentence as annotation
scheme for discourse phenomena.
- The description and formalization of semantic and pragmatic
phenomena related to information structure.
- History, epistemology, and psycholinguistic relevance
of dependency grammar, including its relation to generative
approaches to language

We are also interested in work on issues such as:

- What are the differences and similarities between theta
roles, valencies, f-structures, TAG derivation trees,
(subcategorization) frames, semantic role labelling, etc?
- Which corpus annotations using head-daughter relations
on words are formally and linguistically equivalent,
which are not?
- How to describe syntax-semantic interfaces between
dependency structures?

============================================================
              Papers format and submission
============================================================

The EXTENDED deadline for the submissions is April 22, 2013.
The submissions will be electronic in PDF format through
the DepLing2013 EasyChair.

Papers may consist of up to 10 pages of content (including
references and figures), in the ACL two-column format.
Please see the instructions at:
http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/project/depling13/?page=call_for_papers

Reviewing of papers will be double-blind.

E. W. Beth Dissertation Prize: 2013 call for nominations

Since 2002, FoLLI (the Association for Logic, Language, and Information,
http://institucional.us.es/folliweb/) awards the E.W. Beth Dissertation
Prize to outstanding dissertations in the fields of Logic, Language, and
Information. We invite submissions for the best dissertation which
resulted in a Ph.D. degree in the year 2012. The dissertations will be
judged on technical depth and strength, originality, and impact made in
at least two of three fields of Logic, Language, and
Computation. Interdisciplinarity is an important feature of the theses
competing for the E.W. Beth Dissertation Prize.

Who qualifies.

Nominations of candidates are admitted who were awarded a Ph.D. degree
in the areas of Logic, Language, or Information between January 1st,
2012 and December 31st, 2012. There is no restriction on the nationality
of the candidate or the university where the Ph.D. was granted. After a
careful consideration, FoLLI has decided to accept only dissertations
written in English. Dissertations produced in 2012 but not written in
English or not translated will be allowed for submission, after
translation, also with the call next year (for dissertations defended in
2013). The present call for nominations for the E.W. Beth Disertation
Award 2013 will also accept nominations of full English translations of
theses originally written in another language than English and defended
in 2011 or 2012.

Prize.

The prize consists of:

- a certificate

- a donation of 2500 euros provided by the E.W. Beth Foundation

- an invitation to submit the thesis (or a revised version of it) to the
  FoLLI Publications on Logic, Language and Information (Springer). For
  further information on this series see the FoLLI site.

How to submit.

Only electronic submissions are accepted. The following documents are
required:

1. The thesis in pdf format (ps/doc/rtf not accepted);

2. A ten page abstract of the dissertation in pdf format;

3. A letter of nomination from the thesis supervisor. Self-nominations
are not admitted: each nomination must be sponsored by the thesis
supervisor. The letter of nomination should concisely describe the scope
and significance of the dissertation and state when the degree was
officially awarded;

4. Two additional letters of support, including at least one letter from
a referee not affiliated with the academic institution that awarded the
Ph.D. degree.

All documents must be submitted electronically (preferably as a zip
file) to buszko at amu.edu.pl. Hard copy submissions are not admitted. In
case of any problems with the email submission or a lack of notification
within three working days, nominators should write to buszko at amu.edu.pl.

Statistical Topic Modeling of Large Text Corpora

Abstract: Statistical topic models (also known as latent Dirichlet
allocation models) provide a flexible framework for extracting
interpretable descriptions of large corpora of text documents. This talk
will begin by reviewing the basic principles of topic models and discuss
how these models are related to other approaches such as latent semantic
analysis, matrix factorization techniques, and document clustering. We
will illustrate how topic models can be used to address problems such as
generating high-level summaries of document collections and
automatically uncovering thematic trends in a corpus over time.  The
talk will also discuss recent extensions of topic modeling techniques
such as using topic models for document classification and scalable
algorithms for large corpora. Time permitting, we will also discuss how
these types of models can be applied to data with relational
information, such as social network data involving text content. A
number of different text data sets will be used during the talk as
illustrative examples, including news articles, historical newspaper
records, scientific publications, and collections of email data.

DEADLINE EXTENSION: Friday, April 26, 2013

International Workshop on Definitions in Ontologies (DO 2013)
July 7, 2013

At ICBO 2013 (International Conference on Biomedical Ontologies)
Montreal, Canada

Website: http://definitionsinontologies.weebly.com/ 

Ontologies built using OBO Foundry principles are advised to include
both formal (logical) definitions, as well as natural language
definitions. Depending on the effort, one or the other can be
underrepresented. Possible explanations to this bottleneck are the high
cost of producing well-written definitions; an insufficient
understanding of the nature of natural language definitions or of logic;
the lack of an operational theory of definitions; the lack of studies
that evaluate usability and effectiveness of definitions in ontologies;
a paucity of tools to help with definition authoring and
checking. Producing natural language definitions is time-consuming,
costly and prone to all kinds of inconsistencies. Producing logical
definitions that are effective, correct, and communicative is also
difficult. It is therefore worth exploring different ways of assisting,
with automation, creation and quality control of definitions.

This workshop gathers interested researchers and developers to reflect
upon general themes as the selection and modeling of defining
information; the relation between definitions in specific domains as
opposed to domain-independent definitions; the theoretical underpinnings
of definitions; tools that can facilitate relating logical and natural
language definitions. In addition, we would want to encourage
participation by different communities using definitions so that their
needs can be exposed. 

FORMAT AND OUTCOMES

The workshop will consist of two parts. First, selected presentations of
short papers from attendees. Second, a guided discussion based on the
participants? suggestions. This discussion is aimed at synthetizing and
prioritizing defining practices. All papers should end with a suggestion
on the defining practices or users? needs regarding definitions.  We
will, based on the presentations and discussion, collect a list of
recommendations relating to definitions in ontologies to be posted on
the workshop?s website.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

We solicit participation from developers and users from all around the
world and different linguistic communities in the areas of ontology,
natural language processing, information retrieval, logics, philosophy,
terminology and lexicology. We want to encourage participation of
ontologists and tool developers building ontology authoring tools;
philosophers and logicians who can shed light on the issues in creating
definitions; biomedical researchers interested in the role of
definitions in nomenclatures such as SNOMED; computer scientists
interested in the treatment of definitions in the framework of languages
like OWL; terminologists and lexicologists working on definitions and
their modeling; NLP researchers working on definition extraction
techniques or on information retrieval methods for definition
production; and NLP/IR researchers reusing definitions produced for
ontologies. 

TOPICS

Topics of interest are split between foundational aspects, pragmatic
issues and user perspectives. Below we list some possible topics.

===== Foundational aspects =======================

  * Theories of definition and their implications for the defining
    practice
  * Realist versus conceptualist approaches in definition writing
  * Definition modeling: what kinds of information are defining
  * Domain-independent versus domain-specific definition models
  * Formal versus natural language definitions

===== Pragmatic issues ===========================

  * Quality control in definitions
  * Ways of evaluating definitions
  * Comparison and evaluation of different definition production
    techniques: handwritten, automatically generated from formal
    definitions, extracted from corpora or constructed from information
    retrieved from corpora
  * Methods and tools to automate definition production and checking
  * (Multilingual) definition generation
  * Information retrieval for definition production
  * Use of definition models to facilitate information retrieval
  * Definition extraction from corpora
  * Interactions between ontologies and lexical resources (WordNet, FrameNet)
  * Consequences/Strategies of giving necessary versus necessary and
    sufficient definitions, or simply sufficient definitions
  * Coordination of logical and textual definitions
  * Alternatives to and variants of definitions: elucidations,
    explanations, glosses, figures

===== User perspectives ==========================

  * Assessment of definitions used in current practice
  * Balancing needs of within discipline use and wider use of
    definitions
  * Use of specialized terminology versus general vocabulary
  * Presentation of definitions to different user audiences
  * Alternatives/Augmentations of textual definitions, such as figures
    and images for anatomy, where textual definitions may be harder to
    formulate

CALL FOR PAPERS
DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL April 28th

The 8th International Workshop on Vocabularies, Ontologies and Rules for
the Enterprise and Beyond (VORTE 2013)

Co-located with the 17th IEEE International EDOC Conference?
Vancouver, BC, 9th-13th September, 2013


WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

The VORTE series of workshops is traditionally devoted to the topics of
vocabularies, ontologies and rules in the context of enterprise
systems. This year, the workshop takes a broader view and does not
target only enterprise systems, but also systems managing data on the
Web. In fact, there is a need to exploit unstructured data in the
enterprise, and on the Web in general, as the majority of Web content
and enterprise content remains unstructured. Thus, the challenge of
managing, extracting and structuring data is common to both worlds, and
solutions in one community will benefit the other.

Examples of topics covered by traditional VORTE research contributions
include the development and adaptation of foundational, business and
domain ontologies for the enterprise, the use of ontologies and rules in
all aspects of enterprise modeling such as business process management
and services, the enhancement of rules and services with formal
semantics, and the evaluation of such systems and approaches.

This year, the workshop is also a forum for the discussion of
ontology-based knowledge management issues, interoperability issues and
ontology engineering issues. The workshop also welcomes contributions on
initiatives related to semantic annotation, open linked data,
information extraction, ontology learning and update and ontology-based
knowledge management as well as empirical studies on these areas.

************************************************************************
One day Workshop on Continuous Vector Space Models and their 
Compositionality (CVSC)
Co-located with ACL 2013, Sofia, Bulgaria
August 9, 2013
Submission deadline: April 26, 2013.
https://sites.google.c om/site/cvscworkshop/
************************************************************************
(Apologies for multiple postings)

This is the last Call for Papers. The dead line is next Friday and the
submission site is now open (https://www.softconf.com/acl2013/CVSC2013/)


In recent years, there has been a growing interest in algorithms that
learn and use continuous representations for words, phrases, or
documents in many natural language processing applications. Among many
others, two influential proposals illustrate this trend: latent
Dirichlet allocation and neural network based language models. These
approaches are motivated by improving the generalization power of the
discrete standard models, by dealing with the data sparsity issue and by
efficiently handling a wide context.  Despite the success of single word
vector space models, they are limited since they do not capture
compositionality. This prevents them from gaining a deeper understanding
of the semantics of longer phrases or sentences.

Another different trend of research on continuous vector space models
belongs to the family of spectral methods. The motivation in that
context is that working in a continuous space allows for the design of
algorithms that are not plagued with the local minima issues that
discrete latent space models tend to suffer from.


In this workshop, we invite submissions of papers on continuous vector
space models for natural language processing. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

* learning algorithms for continuous vector space models,
* their compositionality,
* their use in NLP applications,
* spectral learning for NLP,
* neural networks for NLP,
* latent Dirichlet allocation and other continuous representations of
  documents
* tensor models
* distributed semantic representations

INVITED SPEAKERS

There will be two invited speakers Mirella Lapata and Xavier Carreras,
and a panel discussion lead by Chris Manning.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Authors should submit a full paper of up to 8 pages in electronic, PDF
format, with up to 2 additional pages for references. The reported
research should be substantially original. The papers will be presented
orally or as posters.

All submissions must be in PDF format and must follow the ACL 2013
formatting requirements (available at the ACL 2013 website). We strongly
advise the use of the provided LaTeX template files. Reviewing will be
double-blind, and thus no author information should be included in the
papers; self-reference should be avoided as well.

Submissions must be made through the Softconf website set up for this 
workshop:
https://www.softconf.com/acl2013/CVSC2013/

Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings, where no
distinction will be made between papers presented orally or as posters.

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the release of the open source term extractor
*BioYaTeA.*
It is now available on CPAN: 
http://search.cpan.org/~bibliome/Lingua-BioYaTeA/ 

Description:
BioYaTeA is a version of the YaTeA term extractor
(http://search.cpan.org/~thhamon/Lingua-YaTeA/ ) that has been adapted
for term extraction in the biology domain.  The extracted terms contain
noun and adjective phrases. The method is based on a morpho-syntactic
analysis and shallow parsing.  The innovative aspect of BioYaTeA is its
ability to handle participles and prepositional phrases and to filter
out irrelevant terms.  BioYaTeA has been shown to improve the accuracy
of information extraction in the BioNL-ST'11 BB Shared Task
(http://2013.bionlp-st.org/supporting-resources).

BioYaTeA takes as input POS-tagged text in TreeTagger or GeniaTagger
format.
The output is in the XML-BioYaTeA format. BioYaTeA also computes the
term position, its syntactic structure and its subterms.

For further details on the linguistic principles and the evaluation of
BioYaTeA, please consult the following paper, which will soon be
available online:

released, see details at: http://nactem.ac.uk/law7-id/.

NEW: Revised Submission deadline: May 10th 2013 for the shared task, May
3rd 2013 for all other LAW & ID papers.

Workshop overview
-----------------
Linguistic annotation of natural language corpora is the backbone of
supervised methods for statistical natural language processing. It also
provides valuable data for evaluation of both rule-based and supervised
systems and can help formalize and study linguistic phenomena.

The LAW provides a forum for presentation and discussion of innovative
research on all aspects of linguistic annotation, including
creation/evaluation of annotation schemes, methods for automatic and
manual annotation, use and evaluation of annotation software and
frameworks, representation of linguistic data and annotations, etc. This
year, a significant part of the workshop will focus on the special theme
of Interoperability with Discourse.

Workshop Theme
--------------
We encourage submission of papers relating to this year's theme,
Interoperability with Discourse. We are particularly interested in the
comparison and interoperability of different models and techniques used
for and in conjunction with discourse annotation, focusing on any of the
following goals:

(a) Creation of new insights within the field of discourse (by
    juxtaposing two or more points of view as reflected by different
    annotation schemes or annotation techniques).

(b) Fostering interoperability between pragmatic and semantic phenomena
    in discourse, ranging from functional categories (e.g. methods,
    results, hypotheses,etc.) to traditional discourse relations
    (connectives, anaphora, metonymies, etc.)

(c) Connecting syntactic, semantic and pragmatic layers of annotation.

(d) Working towards a framework, representation standards, tools and
    methods that will allow the integration and co-existence of current
    and future discourse-related annotation schemes.

Workshop Challenge
------------------
This year's workshop continues the tradition of the LAW Challenge,
established last year, which provides funding for travel etc. to the
individual or team that best meets a set of criteria. This year, the
judges will give special consideration to papers closely related to the
workshop theme, i.e., (1) integrating functional discourse annotation
from one or more corpora with other types of annotation; and (2)
demonstrating how interoperability can increase the understanding of the
discourse. However, all papers addressing annotation interoperability or
integration will be considered. For further information, please visit
http://nactem.ac.uk/law7-id/.

Submission Information
----------------------
The papers should report original and unpublished research on topics of
interest for the workshop. Accepted papers are expected to be presented
at the workshop, and will be published in the workshop proceedings. They
should emphasize obtained results rather than intended work, and should
indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results.

A paper accepted for presentation at the workshop must not be presented
or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available
proceedings.

Submissions must be in PDF and formatted using the ACL 2013 style files,
available at http://www.linguistics.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/law7-id/.

The maximum length is eight (8) pages of content for long papers or four
(4) pages of content for short papers, posters, and demonstrations, plus
up to two (2) pages of references.

Reviewing of papers will be double-blind. Therefore, the paper must not
include the authors' names and affiliations, and self-references that
reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991)
..." should be replaced with citations such as "Smith (1991) previously
showed ...". Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be
rejected without review.

Authors of papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings
or publications must provide this information on the START online
submission page. Authors of accepted papers must notify the program
chairs within 10 days of acceptance if the paper is withdrawn for any

*Linguistique et Traitement Automatique des Langues pour l'A?ronautique
et l'Espace : Dimensions langagi?res du risque***

2 Juillet 2013, Universit? Toulouse 2 Le Mirail

Atelier organis? par le laboratoire CLLE (UMR 5263) et l'Universit?
Toulouse 2 le Mirail, avec le soutien du R?seau Th?matique de Recherche
Avanc? ? Sciences et Technologies pour l'A?ronautique et l'Espace ? et

** (English version below)

Dans les dix derni?res ann?es, de nombreux projets se sont mis en place
en linguistique appliqu?e comme en traitement automatique des langues
pour favoriser une meilleure gestion de la communication dans les
domaines "risqu?s". L'a?ronautique et le spatial rel?vent de ces
domaines dans la mesure o? des vies humaines sont impliqu?es et des
sommes d'argent colossales sont investies. Quelle soit orale ou ?crite,
la communication dans ces domaines se fait la plupart du temps au moyen
de la langue naturelle. Or, la langue n'est pas un moyen de transmission
d'information parfait. En effet, elle fonctionne avec de l'implicite,
des ambigu?t?s, du flou, elle fait appel ? des connaissances suppos?es
partag?es, etc. Par ailleurs, la production d'une masse pl?thorique de
documents non structur?s constitue un frein ? l'exploitation des
informations qui s'y trouvent exprim?es.

Pour pallier ces difficult?s, les travaux s'orientent majoritairement
dans quatre directions :

- Proposer des guides de r?daction (par exemple la norme AECMA) ou
  d'?changes conversationnels (la phras?ologie de l'OACI).

- D?velopper des outils d'aide ? la r?daction ou ? la v?rification de
  coh?rence des donn?es textuelles; ces outils ?tant la plupart du temps
  bas?s sur des normes langagi?res, comme AECMA, par exemple.

- Cr?er des proc?dures de cat?gorisation des donn?es langagi?res pour
  normaliser et structurer l'information et faciliter ainsi l'acc?s au
  contenu (recours ? des taxonomies et des ontologies).

- D?velopper des outils d'extraction d'information qui s'appliquent ?
  diff?rents types de documents : retour d'exp?riences, manuels de
  construction, sp?cifications, etc.

Malgr? l'importance des activit?s r?alis?es autour de cette question,
les aspects langagiers constituent une dimension du risque qui
estrarement interrog?e et probl?matis?e en tant que telle. L'objectif de
l'atelier est de faire se rencontrer des chercheurs en linguistique,
traitement automatique des langues et ing?nierie des connaissances et
des professionnels de l'a?ronautique et du spatial afin de pr?senter un
panorama des besoins et des r?ponses qui peuvent ?tre faites en mati?re
de gestion de la dimension langagi?re du risque.

17h45-18h15 : Discussion et Conclusion

[Over the last 10 years, many applied linguistics projects have been
undertaken such as natural-language processing to improve the management
of communication in "risk-related" fields.

Aeronautics and Space are concerned to the extent that human lives are
involved and huge amounts of money are invested in them. Whether it be
oral or written, communication in these fields mostly involves natural
language. Now natural language is not a perfect means for sharing
information in that it involves implicit knowledge, ambiguity, illogical
reasoning and draws on knowledge which is assumed to be shared, etc.
Furthermore, the production of a huge mass of unstructured documents
makes it more difficult to exploit the information they contain.

To overcome these drawbacks, current research mostly involves one of the
four following approaches:

- proposing author guidance (for example the AECMA standard) or
  conversation-type exchanges (the standard phrases drawn up by the
  OACI).

- developing writing-assistance tools or tools for checking the
  consistency of textual data; these tools are generally based on
  natural-language standards, such as that of AECMA, for instance.

- creating procedures for classifying language-based data in order to
  standardise and structure information and thus facilitate access to
  content (use of taxonomies and ontologies).

- developing tools for extracting information which can be used for
  different types of documents : feedback on experiments, construction
  manuals, specifications, etc.

In spite of the importance of the activities which are affected by this
issue, the fact that natural language is part of the risk involved is
rarely brought into question no ris it treated as a specific issue. The
purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the fields
of linguistics, natural-language processing and knowledge engineering
with Aeronautics and Space professionals in order to review all of their
requirements and find solutions for managing the language-based aspects
of risk.]

Apologies for cross-posting.

Submissions are invited for an Elsevier Neural Networks special issue on
Affective and Cognitive Learning Systems for Big Social Data
Analysis. For more/up-to-date info, please visit
http://sentic.net/affcog


ABSTRACT
As the Web rapidly evolves, Web users are evolving with it. In an era of
social connectedness, people are becoming more and more enthusiastic
about interacting, sharing, and collaborating through social networks,
online communities, blogs, Wikis, and other online collaborative
media. In recent years, this collective intelligence has spread to many
different areas, with particular focus on fields related to everyday
life such as commerce, tourism, education, and health, causing the size
of the Web to expand exponentially. The distillation of knowledge from
such a large amount of unstructured information, however, is an
extremely difficult task, as the contents of today's Web are perfectly
suitable for human consumption, but remain hardly accessible to
machines. The opportunity to capture the opinions of the general public
about social events, political movements, company strategies, marketing
campaigns, and product preferences has raised growing interest both
within the scientific community, leading to many exciting open
challenges, as well as in the business world, due to the remarkable
benefits to be had from marketing and financial market
prediction. Existing approaches to opinion mininig mainly rely on parts
of text in which sentiment is explicitly expressed, e.g., through
polarity terms or affect words (and their co-occurrence
frequencies). However, opinions and sentiments are often conveyed
implicitly through latent semantics, which make purely syntactical
approaches ineffective. In this light, this special issue focuses on the
introduction, presentation, and discussion of novel techniques that
further develop and apply big data analysis tools and techniques for
sentiment analysis. A key motivation for this special issue, in
particular, is to explore the adoption of novel affective and cognitive
learning systems to go beyond a mere word-level analysis of natural
language text and provide novel concept-level tools and techniques that
allow a more efficient passage from (unstructured) natural language to
(structured) machine-processable data, in potentially any domain.


TOPICS
Articles are thus invited in areas such as machine learning, weakly
supervised learning, active learning, transfer learning, deep neural
networks, novel neural and cognitive models, data mining, pattern
recognition, knowledge-based systems, information retrieval, natural
language processing, and big data computing. Topics include, but are not
limited to:

- Machine learning for big social data analysis
- Biologically inspired opinion mining
- Semantic multidimensional scaling for sentiment analysis
- Social media marketing
- Social media analysis, representation, and retrieval
- Social network modeling, simulation, and visualization
- Concept-level opinion and sentiment analysis
- Patient opinion mining
- Sentic computing
- Multilingual sentiment analysis
- Time-evolving sentiment tracking
- Cross-domain evaluation
- Domain adaptation for sentiment classification
- Multimodal sentiment analysis
- Multimodal fusion for continuous interpretation of semantics
- Human-agent, -computer, and -robot interaction
- Affective common-sense reasoning
- Cognitive agent-based computing
- Image analysis and understanding
- User profiling and personalization
- Affective knowledge acquisition for sentiment analysis

The special issue also welcomes papers on specific application domains
of big social data analysis, e.g., influence networks, customer
experience management, intelligent user interfaces, multimedia
management, computer-mediated human-human communication, enterprise
feedback management, surveillance, art. The authors will be required to
follow the Author's Guide for manuscript submission to Elsevier Neural
Networks.

TIMEFRAME
August 1st, 2013: Paper submission deadline
November 1st, 2013: Notification of acceptance
December 1st, 2013: Final manuscript due
March/April, 2014: Publication

SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS
The Elsevier Neural Networks special issue on Affective and Cognitive
Learning Systems for Big Social Data Analysis will consist of papers on
novel methods and techniques that further develop and apply big data
analysis tools and techniques in the context of opinion mining and
sentiment analysis. Some papers may survey various aspects of the
topic. The balance between these will be adjusted to maximize the
issue's impact. All articles are expected to successfully negotiate the
standard review procedures for Elsevier Neural Networks.

Cet atelier se veut avant tout un espace de travail, de d?bat et
d'?changes sur un th?me ? la fois porteur et encore trop peu explor?.  A
ce titre, les soumissions sous forme de prise de position, argumentaire
d'opinion, discussion de question ouverte, d?frichage de probl?matique,
etc., sont particuli?rement encourag?es.


PR?SENTATION DU CHAMP TH?MATIQUE

Apr?s des ann?es de succ?s des m?thodes quantitatives (statistiques,
apprentissage) en traitement automatique des langues, on constate que
les m?thodes symboliques comme les grammaires formelles ou la logique
sont tout aussi indispensables ? certaines t?ches de traitement
automatique des langues. R?ciproquement, les m?thodes formelles peinent
? passer ? l??chelle sans que les probabilit?s viennent aider ? lever
les ambigu?t?s, ? faire certains choix et ? rendre compte des
pr?f?rences. L?analyse symbolique gagne aussi en rapidit? ? s?aider
d?informations statistiques. L?objet de cet atelier est pr?cis?ment de
pr?senter des travaux actuels, sur l?analyse syntaxique et s?mantique du
fran?ais, qui combinent nouvellement m?thodes symboliques et
statistiques. Cet atelier sera aussi un forum o? discuter des m?rites
respectifs des m?thodes statistiques et symboliques et de leur
enrichissement mutuel.

C'est pourquoi nous encourageons les expos?s de prise de position,
surtout si elles s'appuient sur des questions particuli?res. 
Nous donnons ci-apr?s quelques exemples de travaux o? ces diff?rentes
m?thodes sont combin?es. 

  - En recherche d?information, ne pas traiter la n?gation et sa port?e
    peut poser probl?me. S?il s?agit de d?tecter des catastrophes
    naturelles, un tweet comme ? Il y a du vent, mais ce n?est pas un
    ouragan. ? pourra ?tre erron?ment interpr?t? comme une catastrophe
    naturelle alors qu?il n?y en a pas

  - Si on se pose la question : ? Geach ?tait-il l??l?ve de Wittgenstein
    ? ? il sera malais? de r?pondre. Hormis Wikip?dia, il y a peu de
    textes sur Geach, et une analyse profonde prenant en compte n?gation
    et anaphores est requise pour inf?rer la r?ponse ? partir de :   ?
    Bien qu?il n?ait jamais suivi l?enseignement acad?mique de ce
    dernier, cependant il en ?prouva fortement l?influence. ?

  - Apr?s des ann?es de traduction automatique symbolique, la traduction
    automatique statistique, bas? sur des alignements bilingues, est
    devenue tellement efficace qu?on en a oubli? le triangle de Vauquois
    (analyse de la langue source, langage pivot, g?n?ration dans la
    langue cible). N?anmoins, l'utilisation simultan?e de r?gles, par
    exemple l'utilisation de grammaires d'arbres probabiliste ou
    l'utilisation de statistiques dans l'analyse et la g?n?ration
    constituent des directions actuelles et prometteuses.

 - Dans une t?che de reconstruction d?itin?raires ? partir de r?cits de
   voyages la recherche d?information peut permettre de trouver les
   paragraphes pertinents, mais il faut ensuite une analyse syntaxique
   et s?mantique profonde pour inf?rer le chemin suivi ? partir de
   phrases comme : ? Le chemin pav? de calcaire et de pierres luisantes
   (...) serpente ? travers fourr?s de buis et de noisetiers. Puis, cinq
   minutes nous conduisent ? un petit pont (...) qui nous porte sur la
   rive droite.?

  - Les probl?mes relatifs ? la gradience syntaxique, notamment
    l'association d'une structure syntaxique coh?rente ? un ?nonc?
    non-canonique (shallow parsing, robust parsing, for?t d'analyses
    partielles, correction grammaticale, etc.), ou la pond?ration de
    contraintes grammaticales, sont abord?s tant par des approches
    quantitatives, que par des approches symboliques. Les techniques
    d'approximation qui sous-tendent ces deux approches sont de natures
    diff?rentes, et gagneraient ? ?tre combin?es.

  - Les grammaires syntaxiques (et syntaxico-s?mantiques) sont souvent
    acquises automatiquement ? partir de corpus annot?s avec ou sans
    statistiques. Elles comportent alors un grand nombre de cat?gories,
    d?arbres, de graphes par mot. Il est donc quasi obligatoire de ne
    pas analyser la phrase avec toutes les assignations possible de
    cat?gories, mais seulement avec les plus probables dans le contexte
    de la phrase. Le gain en complexit? est flagrant, il peut ?tre
    divis? par quarante !

  - La s?mantique distributionnelle, par vecteurs de mots issus de
    fr?quences en corpus ou dans les dictionnaires, permet de lever les
    ambigu?t?s syntaxiques et s?mantiques de port?es, de rattachement
    pr?positionnel, de sens lexical? Elle se rapproche ainsi de la
    s?mantique compositionnelle, qu?elle vient optimiser en sugg?rant
    des pr?f?rences pour analyser des rattachements pr?positionnels ? Il
    regarde la fille avec des lunettes noires. / Il ?coute la fille avec
    des lunettes noires. / Il regarde la route avec des lunettes
    noires. ? ou choisir un sens lexical ? Cet avocat ?tait v?reux. Il a
    ruin? son client sans le d?fendre. / Cet avocat ?tait v?reux. Tu
    n?aurais pas d? le mettre dans la salade. ?

Les travaux devront apporter un ?l?ment nouveau, que ce soit un mod?le
symbolique qui se trouve inhabituellement enrichi de techniques
statistiques, ou que les m?thodes statistiques soient ?tendues ? des
structures jusqu?ici ignor?es d?elles, ou encore qu?on mette en oeuvre
un mod?le mixte n?ayant jamais ?t? utilis? en linguistique
informatique. A titre d?exemple, l?acquisition sur corpus annot? d?une
grammaire hors contexte probabiliste et la mesure de sa couverture sont
consid?r?es comme trop connues pour ?tre pr?sent?es ? cet atelier.

Cet atelier est ouvert ? tous les travaux novateurs m?lant approches
statistiques et m?thodes symboliques dans l'analyse syntaxique et
s?mantique du fran?ais, les exemples ci-dessus ne sont mentionn?s qu'?
titre indicatif.  Nous encourageons les soumissions sous forme de prise
de position, argumentaire d'opinion, discussion de question ouverte,
d?frichage de probl?matique, etc. : ce sujet neuf suscite le d?bat entre
deux communaut?s relativement distinctes.


LANGUE

A priori, l?utilisation de m?thodes mixtes est ind?pendant de la
langue. Cependant nous ne consid?rerons que les articles proposant un
traitement automatique qui puisse s?appliquer ? la syntaxe ou ? la
s?mantique du fran?ais.

Les non francophones qui le souhaitent peuvent soumettre un article en
anglais.


TYPES DE COMMUNICATIONS

Les articles seront r?dig?s en fran?ais pour les francophones, en
anglais pour ceux qui ne ma?trisent pas le fran?ais. Ils devront suivre
le format de TALN 2013 et comprendront 4 pages.  Une feuille de style

conf?rence (http://www.taln2013.org/soumettre/). Les articles retenus
donneront lieu ? une pr?sentation orale, dont la dur?e sera communiqu?e
lors de l?acceptation.

Motivation

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

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

Topics

The special theme for this edition is terminology mining, which featured
in a number of submissions in the past years, and this time it will
serve as the highlighted theme for the workshop.

In addition to this special theme, we solicit contributions including
but not limited to other relevant topics:

Building Comparable Corpora:
      Human translations
      Automatic and semi-automatic methods
      Methods to mine parallel and non-parallel corpora from the Web
      Tools and criteria to evaluate the comparability of corpora
      Parallel vs non-parallel corpora, monolingual corpora
      Rare and minority languages
      Across language families
      Multi-media/multi-modal comparable corpora

Applications of comparable corpora:
      Human translations
      Language learning
      Cross-language information retrieval & document categorization
      Bilingual projections
      Machine translation
      Writing assistance

Mining from Comparable Corpora:
      Extraction of parallel segments or paraphrases from comparable
      corpora
      Extraction of bilingual and multilingual translations of single
      words and multi-word expressions; proper names, named entities,
      etc.

All accepted papers will have equal status in the proceedings.

Authors will decide whether their papers are regular, short or posters
depending on their length. Authors will also decide to which which
area/track they are submitting (the START system will be configured to
allow selection of areas).

Paper submissions should follow the two-column format of IJCNLP,
conforming to the LaTeX or Microsoft Word style available on the
conference website and conforming to the instructions to authors found
there. Submissions must be electronic in PDF through the START
conference system at:

https://www.softconf.com/ijcnlp2013/main/

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

Multiple-submission policy
Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or
publications must provide this information at submission time. If IJCNLP
2013 accepts a paper, authors must notify the program chairs by August
5, indicating which meeting they choose for presentation of their
work. IJCNLP 2013 cannot accept for publication or presentation work
that will be (or has been) published elsewhere.

ACL 2013 Workshop on Discourse in Machine Translation (DiscoMT)
Friday, August 9, 2013 - Sofia, Bulgaria

Final call for papers

Over the past four years, there has been a resurgence of interest in
machine translation from the perspective of discourse, and in discourse
from the perspective of machine translation.  This includes ensuring
document-level consistency in the choice of lexical items or referring
forms or in document style or register; translating discourse phenomena
that depend on more than just the context of the current sentence or of
n-grams to the left and/or right; and ensuring that source-language
discourse relations between clauses and/or sentences are also realized
in the target text.

Given this renewed interest, we are pleased to invite paper submissions
to the ACL 2013 Workshop on Discourse in MT, to be held on August 9,
2013 in Sofia.

The papers should focus on language processing techniques, whether
theoretically-inspired or empirical, which address one or more of the
discourse-level phenomena listed below, either in combination with MT,
or from a cross-lingual perspective.  We especially welcome papers that
propose methods and software which enhance the capabilities of MT
systems on discourse-level phenomena.  Papers assessing the importance
and origins of MT difficulties with discourse, including research and
commercial MT systems, are suitable as well.

The proposed workshop solicits submissions more particularly focused on
the following topics, but welcomes also submissions that link discourse
studies with machine translation in some other way.

- discourse processing in support of MT, including:
   o textual coherence, including anaphora, coreference, tense,
     aspect and modality
   o textual cohesion, including lexical consistency
   o discourse structure, including appropriate use of connectives and
     information structuring devices
   o topic structure
   o consistency in style and register
- MT techniques for obtaining document-level consistency and domain
  adaptability;
- MT techniques for structured documents;
- methods and algorithms to handle discourse-level phenomena in
  MT training and decoding;
- uses of MT in processing discourse-level phenomena;
- techniques for assessing the impact of discourse-level processing on
  MT quality;
- quantitative studies on the impact of discourse-level phenomena on
  current MT systems vs. discourse-aware ones.

Submission instructions

We solicit previously unpublished work, presented either as long or
short papers, following the ACL 2013 formatting guidelines available
at http://acl2013.org/site/call.html.  Long papers should have at most
8 pages of content, not including references.  Short papers are
limited to 4 pages of content, not including references.  There is no
constraint on the length of the reference list.  Both types of
submissions should be anonymous, i.e. do not disclose in any way the
identity of the author(s).  Papers must be submitted using the START
system at the URL indicated on the workshop's website.

guidelines on Interspeech site

Every paper will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the scientific
committee (extension of the program committee).
The workshop contributions be followed by a special publication of
selected papers.

---WASSS description

This workshop will provide a meeting place for the different communities
interested into why, how and when speech is used by humans for
signalling socio-affective functions. It will be dedicated to building
interdisciplinary research and cross-fertilization between the different
scientific communities All areas related to human communication are
concerned: language and speech computing, robotics or virtual agents, as
well as linguistics, phonetics, pragmatics, didactics, sociology,
psychology, neuropsychology, ethology, biology, etc. The organisation of
affect is complex ? from low-level emotion automatic or reflexive
processing to higher cognitive levels , culture-dependent,
language-organized, controlled processing. Speech can signal some very
rich social and emotional cues, reflecting personality, social role, the
cultural/language specificities in all human interactions and more
broadly in human communication.

This workshop will be especially the place where ?social emotions? will
be debated from different points of view, with different meanings
depending on the domain.

*Second Workshop on Hybrid Approaches to Translation (HyTra)*

Co-located with *ACL 2013 (http://acl2013.org/site/)*

Sofia, Bulgaria

August 8, 2013

Deadline for paper submissions: April 30, 2013


*Invited Speakers*

Will Lewis and Chris Quirk (Microsoft Research)

Hermann Ney (Aachen University)

*http://hytra.barcelonamedia.org/hytra2013* 

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

*Workshop Description*


The Second Workshop on Hybrid Approaches to Translation (HyTra) intends
to further progress on the findings from the first edition which was
held (together with the ESIRMT workshop) as a joint 2-day EACL 2012
workshop.


The aim of the HyTra workshop is to bring together and share ideas among
researchers developing statistical, example-based, or rule-based
translation systems and those who enhance MT systems with elements from
the other approaches. Hereby one relevant focus will be on effectively
combining linguistic and data driven approaches (rule-based and
statistical MT). Another focus will be on hybridization in the context
of human translation.


We solicit contributions including but not limited to the following
topics:

   - ways and techniques of hybridization
   - architectures for the rapid development of hybrid MT systems
   - applications of hybrid systems
   - hybrid systems dealing with under-resourced languages
   - hybrid systems dealing with morphologically rich languages
   - using linguistic information (morphology, syntax, semantics) to
     enhance statistical MT (e.g. with hierarchical or factored models)
   - using contextual information to enhance statistical MT
   - bootstrapping rule-based systems from corpora
   - hybrid methods in spoken language translation
   - extraction of dictionaries and other large-scale resources for MT
     from parallel and comparable corpora
   - induction of morphological, grammatical, and translation rules from
     corpora
   - machine learning techniques for hybrid MT
   - describing structural mappings between languages
     (e.g. tree-structures using synchronous/transduction grammars)
   - heuristics for limiting the search space in hybrid MT
   - alternative methods for the fair evaluation of the output of
     different types of MT systems (e.g. relying on linguistic criteria)
   - system combination approaches such as multi-engine MT (parallel) or
     automatic post-editing (sequential)
   - open source tools and free language resources for hybrid MT

Contributions can be short or long papers. Short paper submission must
describe original and unpublished work without exceeding five pages of
content plus one extra page for references. Characteristics of short
papers include: a small, focused contribution; work in progress; a
negative result; an opinion piece; an interesting application
nugget. Long paper submissions must describe substantial, original,
completed and unpublished work without exceeding eight pages of content
plus two extra pages for references. Submissions will be judged
according to the criteria of the main conference (of ACL 2013).


*Submission Instructions*


Authors are invited to submit papers on original and previously
unpublished work. Formatting should be according to ACL 2013
specifications using LaTeX or MS-Word style files, see
*http://acl2013.org/site/call.html*.  Reviewing of papers will be
double-blind, so the submissions should not reveal the authors?
identity.


Submission is electronic in PDF format using the START submission system
at *https://www.softconf.com/acl2013/HyTra/*


Double submission policy: Parallel submission to other meetings or
publications are possible but must be immediately notified to the
workshop contact person (see below).


For an accepted paper to appear in the proceedings, at least one author
must register for the workshop and actually present the paper. The
papers will be published in the electronic workshop proceedings. These
will be part of the ACL proceedings, published by ACL. They will also be
made available online via the ACL Anthology.

Bonjour ? tous,
Monsieur *James Kirby *de l'University of Edinburgh, UK, viendra nous
pr?senter ses travaux sur :

*"**Tonogenesis in Khmer: A cross-dialect comparison"*

Date : *jeudi 16 mai ? 13h30*
Lieu : Salle Jacques Cartier, Maison des Langues, Universit? Stendhal,
Domaine Universitaire, Grenoble
Plan d'acc?s :
http://www.u-grenoble3.fr/medias/photo/pbatimentsweb08-1216111652463_1322492530726.jpg

R?sum? :
Unlike many languages of Southeast Asia, Khmer is not a tone language.
Nonetheless, a nascent pitch-based contrast, which covaries with the
loss of /r/, has been noted in several dialects since at least the 1960s
(e.g.  Noss, 1966). While tonogenesis is well-documented in languages of
Southeast Asia, the manner by which it might be taking place in Khmer
has not been reported for any other language.

Here, I compare acoustic and perceptual data on the emergence of
F0-based contrast in two varieties of Khmer: the colloquial speech of
the capital Phnom Penh (PP), and the dialect spoken in Gi?ng Ri?ng
district, Ki?n Giang province, Vietnam (KG). The results provide new
data on the phonetic realization of this ongoing sound change,
suggesting that while F0 has become a necessary and sufficient cue to
this contrast in both dialects, it is primary in KG in a way that it may
not be in PP, where additional cues appear to be active in both
production and perception. I propose a perceptual explanation, based on
the frication and devoicing of /r/, that may have been responsible for
this unusual sound change.

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS (deadline for Submission: April, 28th)

======================================================
High-level Methodologies for Grammar Engineering
(HMGE 2013)
ESSLLI 2013 Workshop (Language and Computation Area)
University of D?sseldorf, Germany
August 12-16, 2013
http://www.univ-orleans.fr/lifo/evenements/HMGE13/
======================================================

INTRODUCTION
============

Many grammatical frameworks have been proposed over the last decades to
describe the syntax (and semantics) of natural language. Among the most
widely used, one may cite (in chronological order) Tree-Adjoining
Grammar (TAG) [Joshi et. Al, 1975], Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG)
[Bresnan and Kaplan, 1982], Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG)
[Steedman, 1987], or Head- driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG)
[Pollard and Sag, 1994]. These frameworks present theoretical and
practical interests. From a theoretical point of view, they provide a
formal device for the linguist to experiment with her/his theories. From
a practical point of view, they make it possible to automatically
process natural language in applications such as dialog systems, machine
translation, etc. They differ in their expressivity and complexity. Some
reveal themselves more adequate for the description of a given language
than others. Still, for many of these frameworks, large resources (i.e.,
grammars) have been designed, at first by hand, and later via dedicated
tools (e.g., integrated grammar environments such as XLE for LFG [King
et al, 2000]). In this workshop, we are concerned with this complex task
of grammar engineering, keeping in mind the two above-mentioned
theoretical and practical interests.

======

HMGE is open to submissions on topics including, but not limited to:

   * development, maintenance and enhancement of grammars
   * semi-automatic acquisition of grammars
   * debugging environments for grammar design

Motivation

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

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

Topics

The special theme for this edition is terminology mining, which featured
in a number of submissions in the past years, and this time it will
serve as the highlighted theme for the workshop.

In addition to this special theme, we solicit contributions including
but not limited to other relevant topics:

Building Comparable Corpora:
      Human translations
      Automatic and semi-automatic methods
      Methods to mine parallel and non-parallel corpora from the Web
      Tools and criteria to evaluate the comparability of corpora
      Parallel vs non-parallel corpora, monolingual corpora
      Rare and minority languages
      Across language families
      Multi-media/multi-modal comparable corpora

Applications of comparable corpora:
      Human translations
      Language learning
      Cross-language information retrieval & document categorization
      Bilingual projections
      Machine translation
      Writing assistance

Mining from Comparable Corpora:
      Extraction of parallel segments or paraphrases from comparable
      corpora
      Extraction of bilingual and multilingual translations of single
      words and multi-word expressions; proper names, named entities,
      etc.

************************************************************************
One day Workshop on Continuous Vector Space Models and their 
Compositionality (CVSC)
Co-located with ACL 2013, Sofia, Bulgaria
August 9, 2013
Submission deadline extended : ** April 30, 2013 **
https://sites.google.com/site/cvscworkshop/
************************************************************************

The submission site is now open
(https://www.softconf.com/acl2013/CVSC2013/) and the deadline is now
April 30.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in algorithms that
learn and use continuous representations for words, phrases, or
documents in many natural language processing applications. Among many
others, two influential proposals illustrate this trend: latent
Dirichlet allocation and neural network based language models. These
approaches are motivated by improving the generalization power of the
discrete standard models, by dealing with the data sparsity issue and by
efficiently handling a wide context.  Despite the success of single word
vector space models, they are limited since they do not capture
compositionality. This prevents them from gaining a deeper understanding
of the semantics of longer phrases or sentences.

Another different trend of research on continuous vector space models
belongs to the family of spectral methods. The motivation in that
context is that working in a continuous space allows for the design of
algorithms that are not plagued with the local minima issues that
discrete latent space models tend to suffer from.


In this workshop, we invite submissions of papers on continuous vector
space models for natural language processing. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

* learning algorithms for continuous vector space models,
* their compositionality,
* their use in NLP applications,
* spectral learning for NLP,
* neural networks for NLP,
* latent Dirichlet allocation and other continuous representations of
  documents
* tensor models
* distributed semantic representations

INVITED SPEAKERS

There will be two invited speakers Mirella Lapata and Xavier Carreras,
and a panel discussion lead by Chris Manning.

PITR 2013 - The Second Workshop on Predicting and Improving Text
Readability for Target Reader Populations
An ACL Workshop at Sofia, Bulgaria.

**** Extended Deadline: May 3, 2013  *****

See: http://mcs.open.ac.uk/nlg/PITR2013/

CALL FOR PAPERS

Many NLP systems generate or reformulate human language but how readable
is the output? What makes language easy or difficult to read for
different types of readers? How can existing text be manipulated to
improve information access? How does writing style affect readability,
comprehension, and appreciation of text? The last few years have seen a
resurgence of interest in these questions amongst computational
linguists as attention turns to more sophisticated techniques for
textual presentation and to address the widely differing needs of end
users. The relevance of this research area has spawned a number of
workshops on related topics, for example, SL-PAT 2012
(http://slpat.org/) and NLP4ITA 2012 (http://www.taln.upf.edu/nlp4ita/),
and a new special interest group, Speech and Language Processing for
Assistive Technologies (http://slpat.org/), which sponsors this
workshop.

PITR is a cross-disciplinary workshop bringing together researchers in
any field concerned with the readability, accessibility and quality of
text, particularly computational linguists, psycholinguists and
educational researchers. We solicit papers on:

- Reformulation of existing text (text-to-text systems)
- Generation of readable language from data (data-to-text systems)
- Generation of text in specific styles and registers for readability
- Evaluation of language simplification strategies
- Evaluation of the readability of computer-generated text
- Evaluation of the readability of machine translation output
- Prediction of aspects of text style related to readability
- Prediction of the readability of documents
- Readability issues in specialist texts such as questionnaires, exam
  questions, safety instructions, etc.
- Novel evaluation strategies for assessing text readability
- Novel readability metrics
- Techniques for simplifying lexis
- Techniques for simplifying syntax
- Techniques for simplifying discourse properties (making text more
  transparent, etc.)
- Techniques for manipulating textual layout to improve accessibility
- Techniques for making descriptions of numerical quantities more
  accessible
- Techniques for making technical terminology more accessible
- Techniques for making descriptions of logical statements more
  accessible
- Techniques for explaining complex ideas through accessible text
- Systems aimed at adults with poor literacy
- Systems aimed at children learning to read
- Systems aimed at 2nd language learners
- Systems aimed at people with language deficits (aphasia, deafness,
  neurodegeneration, etc.)
- Systems aimed at non-experts accessing technical material

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

The first Workshop on Speech, Language and Audio in Multimedia (SLAM)
aims at bringing together researchers working in speech, language and
audio processing to analyze, index and access multimedia data.
Multimedia data are now available in very large amounts with a wide
variety of formats and qualities, from professional content to
user-generated ones: Lectures, meetings, interviews, debates,
conversational broadcast, podcasts, social videos on the Web, etc. Such
data, along with the associated use scenarios, raise specific
challenges: Robustness facing the high variability in quality;
Efficiency to handle very large amount of data; Semantics shared across
modalities; Potentially high error rates in transcription; etc.
Worldwide, several national and international research projects are
focusing on audio analysis of multimedia data. Similarly, various
benchmark initiatives have been initiated such as TRECVID MED,
MediaEval, or ETAPE and REPERE in France.

The SLAM workshop intends to bring together players from the field to
share recent research results, discuss ongoing and future projects,
benchmarking initiatives and applications. We expect communications on
research work, project description, evaluation initiative,
demonstrations and applications dealing with speech and/or language
and/or audio on any type of multimedia material. The list of topics of
interest includes (but is not limited to):

     Audio event detection and audio classification
     Speech and speaker recognition on multimedia material
     Audio-aware genre analysis and classification
     Multimodal speaker identification and clustering
     Multimedia spoken term detection and content retrieval
     Speech and audio aware content segmentation and structuring
     Audio indexing and fingerprinting
     Robust feature extraction and processing
     Natural language processing for multimedia
     Metadata extraction : Entity extraction, keyword extraction, etc.
     Summarization and hyperlink generation
     Multimodal fusion and integration involving audio
     Generation of descriptive text for multimedia
     Speech and audio multimedia applications and services
     Databases and benchmarks
     Large scale speech and audio analysis
     Navigation in multimedia audio content

applied to any media such as:

     Professional broadcasts ? TV, radio, podcasts, newsfeeds, synopsis,
     etc.
     Social media ? YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, Voice Social
     Network, etc.
     Audiovisual archives ? Lectures and conferences, meetings, etc.
     Music ? Music catalogs, music collections, etc.

The workshop is organized in conjunction with Interspeech 2013 over 1.5
days, starting Thu. 22, 2013 at mid-day and ending Fri. 23, 2013
afternoon, right before the main conference. Marseille is conveniently
connected by high-speed train to Lyon where the Interspeech conference
will take place. The format of the workshop will include an invited
talk, oral presentations of scientific work and a poster session for
project and benchmark presentations.

Prospective authors should submit a manuscript following instructions on
the web site. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least two

THEME and MOTIVATION

The languages from the Balto-Slavic group play an important role due to
their diverse cultural heritage and widespread use ? with over 400
million speakers. The recent political and economic developments in
Central and Eastern Europe have brought Balto-Slavic societies and their
languages into focus in terms of rapid technological advancement and
rapidly expanding consumer markets.

This Workshop addresses Natural Language Processing (NLP) for the
Balto-Slavic languages. The NLP tasks in urgent need of attention
include, but are not limited to:

   - Morphological analysis and generation,
   - Syntactic and semantic tagging,
   - Named-entity recognition,
   - Information extraction,
   - Co-reference resolution,
   - Question-answering,
   - Information retrieval,
   - Text summarization,
   - Machine translation.

Research on theoretical and applied topics in the context of many
Balto-Slavic languages is still in its early stages. The linguistic
phenomena specific to Balto-Slavic languages ? such as rich
morphological inflection and free word order ? make the construction of
NLP tools for these languages a challenging and intriguing task.

The goal of this Workshop is to bring together academic researchers and
industry practitioners working on NLP for Balto-Slavic languages. In
particular, the Workshop will serve as an instrument to further
stimulate the research on NLP techniques for Balto-Slavic languages, and
to foster the creation of tools for these languages. The Workshop will
provide an forum for exchanging ideas and experience, discussing
difficult-to-tackle problems in this field of research, and making the
available resources more widely-known. One fascinating aspect of this
sub-family of languages is the striking structural similarity, as well
as an easily recognizable core vocabulary and inflectional inventory
spanning the entire group of languages ? despite a lack of mutual
intelligibility ? which creates a special environment in which
researchers can fully appreciate the shared problems and solutions and
communicate naturally.

This Workshop continues the proud tradition established by the previous
BSNLP Workshops:

   - the First BSNLP Workshop, held in conjunction with ACL 2007 
     Conference in Prague;
   - the Second BSNLP Workshop, held in conjunction with IIS 2009: 
     Intelligent Information Systems, in Krak?w, Poland;
   - the Third BSNLP Workshop, held in conjunction with TSD 2011, 14th
     International Conference on Text, Speech and Dialogue in Plze?,
     Czech Republic.

________________________________________________________________________
SUBMISSION

BSNLP 2013 welcomes two types of submissions: (a) full papers, and (b)
short papers. We accept only electronic submissions via the submission
page.

Long papers should describe original unpublished work and should
indicate the state of completion of the reported results. In particular,
overlap with previously published work should be clearly mentioned. The
authors should indicate along with their submission if the paper has
been submitted elsewhere.

Short papers should describe work in progress and/or interactive
software demos.

All submissions, both long and short papers, will be judged on
correctness, novelty, technical strength, clarity of presentation,
usability, and significance/relevance to the Workshop. Submissions will
be reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee.

The reviewing will be blind. Therefore, the paper should not include the
authors' names and affiliations. Self-citations and other references
that reveal the authors' identity should be avoided.

In particular, submissions describing systems, resources or solutions
that are made available to the wider public would be strongly
encouraged, as this would help to promote computational linguistics
applications for these languages.

Long paper submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL 2013
proceedings not exceeding eight (8) pages of content plus two (2)
additional pages for references. Short paper submissions should follow
the same format, and should not exceed four (4) pages for content plus
two (2) additional pages for references. Submissions must conform to the
official style guidelines of ACL 2013, which are contained in the style
files, and must be in PDF.

Note: It should be clearly indicated if a submission to BSNLP 2013 had
been previously submitted to ACL 2013 Main Conference and rejected
therefrom. All resubmitted papers must clearly demonstrate how they have
addressed the ACL reviewers' criticisms.

________________________________________________________________________
OFFICIAL LANGUAGE

The official language of the workshop is English.

________________________________________________________________________
PUBLICATION

The papers accepted for BSNLP 2013 will be published in ACL Workshop
Proceedings.

After the Workshop, we intend to make a selection of the best papers
based on this year's and previous years' Workshops, and to publish
expanded versions of these papers in a volume on Balto-Slavic NLP as a
book with a reputable publisher or in a special journal issue. No such
unified reference work for Balto-Slavic NLP exists to date.
