We solicit proposals on any topic of interest to the ACL communities. Workshops will be held at one of the following conference venues: EACL 2014 is the 14th Annual Meeting of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL). It will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden 26-30 April. The EACL workshops will be held 26-27April. The webpage for EACL 2014 is: http://eacl2014.org/. ACL 2014 is the 52nd Annual Meeting of the the Association for Computational Linguistics. It will be held in Baltimore, MD, USA, 22-27 June 2013. The dates for the ACL workshops will be 26-27 June. The webpage for ACL 2014 will be included once it is available. EMNLP 2014 is the SIGDAT conference on Empirical Methods for Natural Language Processing (EMNLP). It started in 1993 with the series of Workshops on Very Large Corpora and was renamed EMNLP in 1996. The main conference will be held in Doha, Qatar 26-28. The dates for the EMNLP workshops are still not definitive, most likely they will be October 25 and October 29 (October 30 can be available for 2-days workshops). The webpage for EMNLP 2014 will be included once it is available. Proposals will be reviewed jointly by the Workshop Co-Chairs of the two conferences. SUBMISSION INFORMATION ====================== Proposals for workshops should contain: 1. A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic and content. 2. The desired workshop length (one or two days) and an estimate of the number of attendees. 3. The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the organizers, with one-paragraph statements of their research interests and areas of expertise. 4. A list of Programme Committee members, with an indication of which members have already agreed. It is highly desirable for proposals to have at least 75% of the Programme Committee reviewers confirmed at the time of the submission. Organizers should do their best to estimate the number of submissions (especially for recurring workshops) in order to (a) ensure a sufficient number of reviewers so that each paper receives 3 reviews, and (b) anticipate that no one is committed to reviewing more than 2 papers. This practice is likely to ensure on-time, and more thorough and thoughtful reviews. Submissions should essentially be ready to be turned into a Call for Workshop Papers within one week of notification (see Timelines). 5. A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop. 6. A description of special requirements for technical needs. 7. A note specifying which venue(s) (EACL/ACL/EMNLP) would be acceptable and/or preferable. Workshop co-chairs will review the quality of the workshop proposals. Once the reviews are complete, the workshop co-chairs will work together to assign workshops to the three conferences, taking into account the location preferences and constraints provided by the workshop proposers. The ACL has a set of policies on workshops. You can find the ACL's general policies on workshops at http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshop-support-general-policy.html , the financial policy for workshops at http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshop-conf-financial-policy.html , and the financial policy for SIG workshops at http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshops-Sig-financial-policy.html . Proposals may be submitted as Plain text, MS Word, or PDF documents (preferably PDF). Proposals should be attached and emailed to the workshop organizers (eacl.acl.emnlp.w14 at gmail.com) no later than 20 October 2013, Samoa Standard Time (SST) (UTC/GMT-11). *You should receive a confirmation of proposal receipt within 24 hours. If you do not, please get in touch with Jill Burstein: jburstein at ets.org.* Notification of acceptance of workshop proposals will occur no later than 4 November 2014. Organizers of accepted proposals will be responsible for publicizing and running the workshop, including reviewing submissions, producing the camera ready workshop proceedings, and organizing the meeting days. It is crucial that organizers commit to all deadlines. In particular, failure to produce the camera ready proceedings on time will lead to the exclusion of the workshop from the CD-ROM/USB & unified author indexes. Workshop organizers cannot accept for publication papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere, although they are free to set their own policies on simultaneous submission and review. Since the conferences will occur at different times, the timescales for the submission and reviewing of workshop papers, and the preparation of camera-ready copies, will be different for each conference. Suggested timescales for each of the conferences are given below. Workshop organizers should not deviate from this schedule unless absolutely necessary.

The position is part of the MUCKE project (http://ifs.tuwien.ac.at/~mucke/) , funded within the CHIST-ERA funding scheme of FP7. The main challenge of the post-doc is the efficient representation of hundreds of thousands of multimedia concepts via the joint use of tens of millions of textual and visual documents. A secondary challenge is the use of these concepts representations to estimate the credibility of user generated content. Candidates should have experience in Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing and/or Machine Learning. They must be under 30 years old and have a good publication track in one of the three areas cited above. The working language can be either English or French and the position is available from October 2013. Kind regards, Adrian Popescu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Post-doc in Multimedia Processing available at CEA LIST, France The Vision and Content Engineering Lab (LVIC) of CEA LIST (French Atomic Commission), an interdisciplinary group that works on multimedia and multilingual data analysis and understanding, with a focus on fast growing and large public application domains, announces the availability of a 2-years post doctoral position. The position is associated to the MUCKE project, funded within the CHIST-ERA funding scheme of the FP7, which fosters highly innovative and multidisciplinary collaborative projects in information and communication sciences and technologies. The project will start in October 2012. Its main objective is to devise new and reliable knowledge extraction models designed for multilingual and multimodal data shared on social networks. The post-doctoral researcher will first work on multimodal concept representation (around 2/3 of the post-doc duration) and then on user credibility estimation for multimedia flows (around 1/3 of the postdoc duration). The first task will focus on the proposition of innovative language and image processing techniques as well as on their combination using information fusion techniques. Particular attention will be given to the scalability of the methods developed because one important project objective is to model a large number of concepts (hundreds of thousands) and an important volume of textual and visual documents (tens of millions). For images, the main problems tackled in MUCKE are parsimonious local image description, large scale concept detection and concept visualness. Multimodal fusion will be based on probabilistic models that move beyond a scoring of similarity towards providing an actual probability of relevance. For textual documents, the objective is to depart from text representations as bags of words (unigrams) to representations as vectors of unambiguous concepts and entities through concept and entity recognition and disambiguation. The second task will focus on the proposition of a novel model for estimating user credibility for multimedia flows, which combines content and structural features of the user’s networked representation. Using results obtained for concept representation, credibility estimation will be cast as an information fusion problem, with a first step that combines textual and visual information and a second step that combines user content and context. Another important credibility related question that will be investigated is whether credibility should be a global characteristic of a user or domain related. Candidates must hold a PhD in Computer Science obtained less than two years ago or expect to complete it before December 2013 and must be under 30 years old. Experience in Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval or Computer Vision is expected, as well as willingness to learn new topics related to the post-doc. The lab is situated in Palaiseau, 20 km south of Paris and is part of the CEA LIST Institute, which focuses its research activities on developing innovative technologies for smart and complex systems. The post-doc will be part of the lab's multimedia team, which consists of researchers in NLP, computer vision and multimedia processing. The working language is English. A more detailed description of LVIC's activities is available at http://www.kalisteo.fr/en/index.htm. For further information, please send an expression of interest to adrian.popescu at cea.fr, attaching a CV and a cover letter. The position is available from October 2013 and is open until filled.

Parallèlement, on sait aujourd’hui que les causes de la variation terminologique sont nombreuses, ce que montre notamment Judit Freixa dans un article paru en 2004. Dans de nombreux cas, la variation terminologique résulte de « mouvements » des termes et des concepts, mouvements qui s’effectuent dans le temps (on parlera alors de variation diachronique) ou dans l’espace (variation diatopique), comme l’illustre la variation topolectale observable dans certains domaines entre la France, la Suisse et le Québec, par exemple. Bien que moins décrite, la variation terminologique peut aussi se situer sur le plan social (variation diastratique). Par ailleurs, d’autres causes de mouvements lexicaux méritent une attention particulière dans une perspective terminologique. C’est le cas, entre autres, des liens entre domaines et du passage d’unités lexicales de la langue générale vers les langues de spécialité, et inversement (terminologisation et déterminologisation, phénomènes décrits et nommés par Ingrid Meyer). Bien que ces mouvements lexicaux soient attestés et — au moins partiellement — décrits, le point de vue généralement adopté sur le terme, en fonction de domaines de spécialité cloisonnés et en synchronie, ne permet pas de décrire et de saisir adéquatement ces mouvements et, de fait, de les traiter en terminologie. L’étude théorique de la variation devrait pourtant déboucher sur des approches méthodologiques visant une prise en charge terminographique des divers types de variation dans les dictionnaires électroniques, les bases de données lexicales et les ontologies. Partant de ce constat, l’objectif de l’atelier est de nourrir la réflexion sur la nature, l’impact et les besoins de prise en charge de la variation terminologique pour la communication spécialisée et/ou dans les ressources terminographiques, à travers le prisme des différents types de « mouvements » qui la conditionnent. Nous espérons réunir des chercheurs provenant de disciplines variées (terminologie, linguistique de corpus, lexicologie, lexicographie et informatique, sciences cognitives, etc.), dont les différents regards permettront d’enrichir la réflexion sur le sujet. Principaux thèmes Axe 1 : Identification du besoin de prise en compte de la variation terminologique liée à des mouvements lexicaux (diachroniques, diatopiques, diastratiques, etc.) o Etudes de cas ou exemples qui mettent en évidence l’importance d’une prise en compte pour différents contextes (ex. terminologie, traduction, construction ou enrichissement d’ontologies, recherche d’information, lexicographie, etc.) o Impact sur la gestion des connaissances ou la gestion du risque langagier ; solutions envisagées pour y répondre Axe 2 : Propositions méthodologiques de repérage ou de traitement de la variation terminologique o Utilisation de corpus spécialisés comparables, comparaison de ressources, utilisation d’ontologies, outils, annotations, etc. o Utilisation du web comme corpus de repérage Axe 3 : Prise en charge de la variation dans les ressources terminographiques, lexicographiques ou les ontologies o Modalités de prise en charge des mouvements lexicaux dans différents types de ressources o Propositions de formalisation pour différentes applications o Atouts et limites de la prise en charge Cette liste n’est pas exhaustive, et toute proposition de question ou de problématisation sera la bienvenue. Modalités de soumission Les auteurs soumettront leur communication pour une double évaluation avant le 10 septembre 2013.

It is now a known fact that the causes for terminological variation are numerous, as described by Judit Freixa in an article published in 2004. In many cases, terminological variation is the result of different "movements" of terms and concepts which are happening either in time (we then speak of diachronic variation) or space (diatopic variation) as can be observed through the regional variation between France, Switzerland and Quebec, for example. Similarly, although less described, terminological variation can also happen at the social level (diastratic variation). Other causes of lexical movements also need to be investigated from a terminological perspective, such as the links between subject fields and the migration of terms from general language to specialized languages, or vice-versa (the terminologization and determinologisation phenomena, as described and named by Ingrid Meyer). Although these movements are documented and—at least partially—described, the point of view generally adopted to describe terms, which is subject-specific and synchronic, does not allow for an adequate description and understanding of those movements, which are not, consequently, adequately handled in the framework of terminology. The study of term variation from a theoretical point of view should lead to methodological approaches which would allow for the proper management of the different types of variation in electronic dictionaries, lexical databases and ontologies. Based on these observations, the objective of this workshop is to fuel reflection on the nature of terminological variation, its impacts, and what would be required to support terminological variation for specialized communication and/or terminographical resources, through the various types of "movements" such variation is built on. This workshop hopes to bring together researchers from disciplines such as terminology, corpus linguistics, lexicology, lexicography, computer science and cognitive science in order to gain different perspectives on the subject. Topics Topic 1 – Identification of the need to take into account terminological variation related to lexical movements (diachronic, diatopic, diastratic, etc.). o Case studies or examples that show the importance of taking variation into account in various contexts related to terminology, translation, ontology building or enrichment, information retrieval, lexicography, etc. o Impact on knowledge management and linguistic risk mitigation, and potential solutions for such problems Topic 2 - Methodological proposals for tracking or processing variation o Using specialized comparable corpus, resources comparison, use of ontologies, tools, annotations, etc. o Using the Web as corpus for tracking Topic 3 - Methods for taking variation into account in terminographical and lexicographical resources or ontologies o Methods to handle lexical movements in different types of resources o Proposed formalization for different applications o Strengths and limitations This list is not closed and propositions for any related issues are welcome. Paper submissions Papers will be submitted to a double blind review before September 10, 2013. Proposals must be sent to tia.atelier.mouvement at gmail.com in PDF format and must include the following: - A 2 to 3 page paper proposal (between 1000 and 1500 words, including references). - A separate file containing full name, institution and contact information (email address, phone number and mailing address) of the author or authors and the title of the paper; Proposals will be evaluated by the scientific committee of the workshop on the basis of the following criteria: - the relevance of the topic to the theme of the conference; - the theoretical or conceptual framework and methodology proposed, related to research (if empirical); - the organization and clarity of the proposal.

Le développement et la disponibilité accrue d’outils d’analyse de données sophistiqués ont modifié le visage de la linguistique quantitative durant la dernière décennie. En particulier, les phénomènes d’alternance (dans lesquels le locuteur doit choisir une forme parmi plusieurs possibles) ont connu un regain d’intérêt grâce aux avancées dans le domaine de la modélisation statistique (Gries, 2003 ; Benor and Levy, 2006 ; Bresnan et al., 2007). Les études récentes ont pour la plupart modélisé des données écrites et orales de l’anglais, mais des résultats sur d’autres langues commencent à émerger. En parallèle aux études sur corpus, les travaux en psycholinguistique ont également examiné les facteurs qui contribuent aux choix d’un ordre de mots ou de constituants en production (par ex. Tanaka et al., 2011) et influencent les temps de traitement (processing) en compréhension (par ex. Brown et al., 2012). En intégrant les résultats obtenus en corpus et en recherche expérimentale, cette journée espère faire avancer notre compréhension des processus sous-jacents qui régissent les phénomènes d’alternance. En développant la modélisation de données de corpus sur un ensemble varié de langues et de phénomènes, des résultats pourront également émerger en ce qui concerne les processus sous-jacents. De ce point de vue, les approches quantitatives sur corpus (écrits et oraux) et les travaux psycholinguistiques qui s’intéressent aux phénomènes d’alternance dans différentes langues seront particulièrement bienvenus. Le but de cette journée est donc d’apporter un éclairage sur ces questions générales en rassemblant des psycholinguistes et des linguistes travaillant à partir de la modélisation statistique de données de corpus sur des thématiques relatives à des phénomènes d’alternance d’ordre dans différentes langues. Voici une liste non-exhaustive des thèmes pouvant être abordés : - Approche quantitative de données de corpus et modélisation statistique de phénomènes d'alternance de mots et de constructions mots dans des langues diverses ; - Études expérimentales sur des phénomènes d’alternance et les facteurs psycholinguistiques qui influencent leur compréhension ; - Problèmes théoriques concernant les probabilités de corpus: que représentent les probabilités en corpus ? Les observations en corpus correspondent-elles ou diffèrent-elle des résultats obtenus dans des expériences psycholinguistiques ? Les propositions de communication (durée 25 min + 10 min de discussion) sont à envoyer à journee.labex.atala at gmail.com. Les personnes intéressées devront soumettre un résumé d’une page (12 pt) avec une page supplémentaire pour les exemples, tableaux, figures et références. Les propositions devront être au format pdf. La date limite de soumission est fixée au 25 août 2013 et les notifications seront envoyées le 16 septembre. Les résumés sont à envoyer à journee.labex.atala at gmail.com --------------------Call for papers----------------------------- The goal of this research day is to bring together computational linguists, corpus linguists and psycholinguists who work on word order alternation phenomena in various languages. The development and increased availability of statistical tools for sophisticated data analysis in the past decade has changed the face of quantitative linguistic analysis. In particular, alternation phenomena (in which a speaker may choose one out of several possible linguistic forms) have seen a renewed interest due to advances in statistical modeling (Gries, 2003; Benor and Levy, 2006; Bresnan et al., 2007). The recent studies have mostly modeled English corpus data, presumably in part because of the development of large tagged corpora of written and spoken English. However, there are now many research programs developing high quality, large-scale corpus resources for languages other than English. In parallel to corpus-based studies, psycholinguistic work has also examined the factors that contribute to speakers’ choices with respect to word or constituent order in production (e.g., Tanaka et al., 2011) and influence processing complexity in comprehension (e.g., Brown et al., 2012). By integrating findings from both corpus studies and experimental research, this workshop has as its goal to make progress on understanding the underlying processes governing alternation phenomena. We also believe that developing corpus models on a diverse set of languages and alternations will give rise to interesting observations regarding the processes underlying alternation phenomena. Therefore, submissions of corpus and/or psycholinguistic work handling alternation phenomena in a variety of languages are of particular interest. A non-exhaustive list of possible topics includes: - Corpus studies on alternation phenomena in a variety of languages, including constituent or word order alternations and syntactic construction alternations. - Experimental studies of alternation phenomena and the psycholinguistic factors that influence their comprehension or production. - Theoretical issues on corpus probabilities: What do corpus probabilities represent? How do observed patterns reflect or differ from results of psycholinguistic experiments? We invite submissions of one-page, .pdf-format abstracts in 12-point font, with an additional page for data, references and figures, for 25-minute presentations with 10 minutes for questions. The deadline for submission is **August 25, 2013**, and notifications of acceptance will be made by September 16. Please submit abstracts by e-mail to journee.labex.atala at gmail.com. __________ References / Références Benor, Sarah Bunin, and Roger Levy. 2006. The chicken or the egg?

More specifi call y, argumentation theory involves different ways for analyzing arguments and their relationships. In everyday life arguments are "reasons to believe and reasons to act". Until recent years, the idea of "argumentation" as the process of creating arguments for and against competing claims, was a subject of interest to philosophers and lawyers. In recent years, however, there has been a growth of interest in the subject from for mal and technical perspectives in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, and a wide use of argumentation technologies in practical applications. Here, argumentation is viewed as a mechanical procedure for interpreting events, organizing and presenting documents, and making decisions about actions. From a theoretical perspective, argumentation offers a novel framework providing new light on classical for ms of reasoning, such as logical deduction, induction, abduction and plausible reasoning, communication, explanations of advice, supporting discussion and negotiation in computer-supported cooperative work. From a human-computer interaction point of view, argumentation is a versatile technique that facilitates natural system behavior and is more easily understood by human users. In spite of the wide range of disciplines interested in Argumentation, scientific communities tend to be organized along disciplinary boundaries, with only moderate integration occurring between computational models and philosophical and linguistic theories of Argumentation. This workshop aims at rectifying this situation, bringing together people from various disciplines (most notably, Artificial Intelligence, Philosophy, Linguistics, and Psychology) and asking them to compare their methods and results in the study of Argumentation. ===================== TOPICS OF INTEREST: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Analysis of controversies Applications of argumentation technologies (e.g. e-democracy, risk assessment, law and medicine) Argument schemes Argumentation and epistemology Argumentation and game theory Argumentation and human-computer interaction Argumentation for coordination and coalition for mation Argumentation in a legal context Argumentation in a medical context Argumentation in a political context Argumentation in agent and multi-agent systems Argumentation in debate Argumentation in the media Argumentation structures Argumentation, trust and reputation Argumentation-based negotiation Natural language argumentation Computational properties of argumentation Decision making based on argumentation Dialogue systems based on argumentation Fallacies For mal and in for mal models for argumentation Implementation of argumentation systems Persuasion research Reasoning about action and time with argumentation Rhetoric and argumentation Strategies and argumentation Systems for learning through argument Tools for supporting argumentation Visual argumentation ===================== IMPORTANT DATES: Submission deadline: September 21st, 2013 Notification of acceptance : October 21st, 2013 Early registration: October 31st, 2013 Conference days: December 4-6, 2013 Workshop day: December 3rd, 2013 ===================== ORGANIZING COMMITTEE: Elena Cabrio (Inria Sophia Antipolis) - Workshop Chair Serena Villata (Inria Sophia Antipolis) - Workshop Chair ===================== PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Guido Boella (University of Torino) Paola Cantu’ (University of Aix-Marseille Université) Cristiano Castelfranchi (ISTC-CNR - Roma) Federico Cerutti (University of Aberdeen) Massimiliano Giacomin (University of Brescia) Floriana Grasso (University of Liverpool) Marco Guerini (Trento-RISE) Bernardo Magnini (Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento) Fabio Paglieri (ISTC-CNR - Roma) Nino Rotolo (University of Bologna) Paolo Torroni (University of Bologna) Adam Wyner (University of Aberdeen) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Aug 24 11:28:25 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2013 14:28:25 +0300 Subject: Appel: EACL 2014 Message-ID: Date: Wed, 7 Aug 2013 10:26:22 +0200 From: peter ljunglöf Message-Id: X-url: http://eacl2014.org/ SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS EACL 2014 The 14th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics Gothenburg, Sweden 26–30 April 2014 http://eacl2014.org/ INVITATION FOR SUBMISSIONS The 14th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics invites the submission of long and short papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research in all aspects of automated natural language processing, including but not limited to the following areas: - computational and cognitive models of language acquisition and language processing - information retrieval and question answering - generation and summarization - language resources and evaluation - machine learning methods and algorithms for natural language processing - machine translation and multilingual systems - phonetics, phonology, morphology, word segmentation, tagging, and chunking - pragmatics, discourse, and dialogue - semantics, textual entailment - social media, sentiment analysis and opinion mining - spoken language processing and language modeling - syntax, parsing, grammar formalisms, and grammar induction - text mining, information extraction, and natural language processing applications Papers accepted to TACL by 30 November 2013 will also be eligible for presentation at EACL 2014; please see the TACL website (http://www.transacl.org/) for details.

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 30th, 2013: Paper submission deadline November 30th, 2013: Notification of acceptance December 31st, 2013: Final manuscript due April/May, 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.

LIMSI invites applications for a one-year Postdoctoral position. We are seeking researchers with interests in combining statistical learning, structured Information Retrieval, and text/data mining. The postdoctoral fellow will contribute to a project funded by ANR addressing information retrieval in the biomedical domain. Medical cases are described through natural language texts. Each case is described by a set of reports. The goal of this work is to look for similar cases. This functionality targets medical doctors who will define the type of search they are interested in. A representation of each case will be built, including structure and content. It can rely on various levels of analysis, including medical entities detected in the texts, leading to multiple views of a case. Search methods will be proposed to identify globally similar cases or cases which contain similar parts according to some dimension. The methods will rely both on text contents and on external knowledge bases. Monolingual and bilingual resources are available for this purpose. The proposed methods will be applicable to multiple languages, including English and French, and across languages, so that similar cases can be found jointly in two languages. Unsupervised methods, including topic models and clustering, are natural candidates to help represent the cases. The work will be performed in the framework of a collaborative project involving partners in medicine, natural language processing, and knowledge engineering. Job requirements: Applicants must hold a PhD in Computer Science (Machine Learning, Information Retrieval, or Natural Language Processing, with a good command of statistical methods). Net salary: between 1900 and 2400 € per month according to experience Benefits: LIMSI offers a generous benefit package including health insurance and 44 days vacation pa. Duration: 12 months, renewable depending on performance and funding availability Start date: Fall 2013 Location: Orsay, greater Paris area, France Please send: * a cover letter * a curriculum vitae, including a list of publications * the names and contact information of at least two referees to: Pierre Zweigenbaum (pz at limsi.fr) and Brigitte Grau (bg at limsi.fr) Application deadline: September 15th, 2013 Applications will be examined in the following week. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Aug 24 11:45:05 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2013 14:45:05 +0300 Subject: Appel: A special issue of Terminology on Lexical-semantic Approaches to Terminology Message-ID: Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2013 10:17:49 -0400 From: "L'Homme Marie-Claude" Message-ID: <9880C869F04BDF4787220D63CB54D6F309DB630D at MAPIUDEM.sim.umontreal.ca> X-url: http://olst.ling.umontreal.ca/?p=2012/lang-pref/en/ SPECIAL ISSUE OF TERMINOLOGY on Lexical-semantic Approaches to Terminology (http://olst.ling.umontreal.ca/?p=2012/lang-pref/en/) Guest editors: Pamela Faber (University of Granada) and Marie-Claude L’Homme (University of Montreal) Introduction The importance of lexical semantics is increasing in terminology work. This is in consonance with the fact that word and term meaning is now in the spotlight, thanks to dictionary compilation, ontology modeling, document indexing, and information retrieval. As such, lexical semantics has become a convergence point for disciplines such as lexicography, phraseology, corpus linguistics, pragmatics, and knowledge representation, all of which are crucial to Terminology. In the initial years of Terminology, meaning, viewed as an inherent property of specialized knowledge units, was not given its due importance. In fact, terms were not even regarded as true language units but rather as mere labels for concepts. Definitions in term entries were a data field that was often filled by automatically including definitions found in other resources. However, the advent of corpus linguistics and corpus pattern analysis has brought many questions to the forefront in Terminology, such as term variation and polysemy, which were previously not envisaged in specialized language. Other issues include the identification of specialized meaning in running text, as well as the relations between terms and other lexical units. As a result, terminologists now have to deal with term meaning and how it is represented in texts. In addition, new methods for compiling specialized dictionaries and for representing knowledge require sophisticated models to account for fine-grained semantic distinctions and rich sets of paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations. Such methods should be based on a coherent set of theoretical premises. In this sense, a number of meaning-based linguistic frameworks can be or have been usefully applied or adapted to Terminology. These include the following: - Cognitive Semantics (e.g. Talmy 2000) - Explanatory Combinatorial Lexicology, ECL (Mel’cuk et al. 1984-1999; 1995) - Frame Semantics (Fillmore 1982, 1985) - The Generative Lexicon (Pustejovsky 1995) - Lexical Grammar Model (Martín Mingorance 1998, Faber and Mairal 1999) The editors invite submissions that present innovative research work or articles addressing a central conceptual, theoretical, and/or empirical investigation on lexical semantic approaches to Terminology and Specialized Languages. Possible topics include but are not limited to the following: 1. Conceptual modeling and knowledge representation as reflected in lexical structure 2. Representation of specialized meaning (e.g. definitions, argument structure, knowledge patterns) 3. Paradigmatic and/or syntagmatic relations 4. Applications of lexical-semantic frameworks to the analysis and management of terminological data 5. Extraction of semantic data from specialized corpora 6. Terminology knowledge bases that include or are based on lexical semantic frameworks 7. Lexical modeling for ontologies 8. Terminological metaphor Submissions Papers should be written with Word and comprise between 20-30 pages (max. 9,000 words). More information on formatting requirements can be found on the John Benjamins website (http://benjamins.com/#catalog/journals/term).

This interdisciplinary initiative is a response to the growing popularity of Digital Humanities and an increased tendency to apply computer techniques for supporting and facilitating research in Humanities. Nowadays, due to the increasing activities in digitizing and opening historical sources, the Science of History can greatly benefit from the advances of Computer and Information sciences which consist of processing, organizing and making sense of data and information. As such, new Computer Science techniques can be applied to verify and validate historical assumptions based on text reasoning, image interpretation or memory understanding. Our objective is to provide for the two different research communities a place to meet and exchange ideas and to facilitate discussion. We hope the workshop will result in a survey of current problems and potential solutions, with particular focus on exploring opportunities for collaboration and interaction of researchers working on various subareas within Computer Science and History Sciences. The main topics of the workshop are that of supporting historical research and analysis through the application of Computer Science theories or technologies, analyzing and making use of historical texts, recreating past course of actions, analyzing collective memories, visualizing historical data, providing efficient access to large wealth of accumulated historical knowledge and so on. The detailed topics of expected paper submissions are (but not limited to): - Processing and text mining of historical documents - Analysis of longitudinal document collections - Search models in document archives and historical collections, associative search - Causal relationship discovery based on historical resources - Entity relationship extraction, detecting and resolving historical references in text - Computational linguistics for old texts - Digitizing and archiving - Modeling evolution of entities and relationships over time - Automatic multimedia document dating - Applications of artificial intelligence techniques to history - Simulating and recreating the past course of actions, social relations, motivations, figurations - Analysis of language change over time - Handling uncertain and fragmentary text and image data - Finding analogical entities - Entity linking in historical collections - Named entity detection in historical texts - Automatic biography generation - Mining Wikipedia for historical data - OCR and transcription of old texts - Effective interfaces for searching, browsing or visualizing historical data collections - Collective memory analysis - Studying and modeling forgetting and remembering processes - Vulgarization of History through new media - Probing the limits of Histoinformatics - Epistemologies in the Humanities and Computer Science Full paper submissions are limited to 14 pages, while short paper submissions should be less than 6 pages. Submissions should be sent in English in PDF via the submission website (see the website for link). They should be formatted according to Springer LNCS paper formatting guidelines. They must be original and have not been submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions will be evaluated by at least three different reviewers from both computer and history science areas. The accepted papers will be published by Springer as post proceedings volume (to appear after the workshop). --------------------- ---Important Dates--- --------------------- - Paper submission deadline: October 6, 2013 - Notification of acceptance: October 25, 2013 - Camera ready copy deadline: November 5, 2013 - Workshop date: Nov 25, 2013 -------------------------- ---Organizing Committee--- -------------------------- - Adam Jatowt (Kyoto University, Japan) - Gael Dias (Normandie University, France) - Agostini-Ouafi Viviana (Normandie University, France) - Christian Gudehus (University of Flensburg, Germany) - Gunter Muhlberger (University of Innsbruck, Austria) -------------------------- ---Scientific Committee--- -------------------------- - Antal van Den Bosch (Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands) - Lindsey Dodd (University of Huddersfield, UK) - Antoine Doucet (Normandie University, France) - Marten During (Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands) - Nattiya Kanhabua (LS3 Research Center, Germany) - Tom Kenter (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - Daan Odijk (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - Denis Peschanski (Pantheon-Sorbonne University, France) - Shigeo Sugimoto (University of Tsukuba, Japan) - Nina Tahmasebi (LS3 Research Center, Germany) - William Turkel (University of Western Ontario, Canada) - To be extended. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Aug 24 11:34:07 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2013 14:34:07 +0300 Subject: Appel: PAKDD 2014 Message-ID: Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2013 23:50:18 +0800 From: cfp at grid.chu.edu.tw Message-Id: <201308131550.r7DFoI2A021164 at grid.chu.edu.tw> X-url: http://pakdd2014.pakdd.org/ The 18th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining May 13?16, 2014 Tainan, Taiwan Conference Website: http://pakdd2014.pakdd.org/ Important Dates Paper submission due: October 1, 2013 Notification to author: December 20, 2013 Camera ready due: January 12, 2014 *[23:59:59 Pacific Time] ================================================================ Conference Scope The Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD) is a leading international conference in the areas of knowledge discovery and data mining (KDD).

We solicit proposals on any topic of interest to the ACL communities. Workshops will be held at one of the following conference venues: EACL 2014 is the 14th Annual Meeting of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL). It will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden 26-30 April. The EACL workshops will be held 26-27April. The webpage for EACL 2014 is: http://eacl2014.org/. ACL 2014 is the 52nd Annual Meeting of the the Association for Computational Linguistics. It will be held in Baltimore, MD, USA, 22-27 June 2013. The dates for the ACL workshops will be 26-27 June. The webpage for ACL 2014 will be included once it is available. EMNLP 2014 is the SIGDAT conference on Empirical Methods for Natural Language Processing (EMNLP). It started in 1993 with the series of Workshops on Very Large Corpora and was renamed EMNLP in 1996. The main conference will be held in Doha, Qatar 26-28. The dates for the EMNLP workshops are still not definitive, most likely they will be October 25 and October 29 (October 30 can be available for 2-days workshops). The webpage for EMNLP 2014 will be included once it is available. Proposals will be reviewed jointly by the Workshop Co-Chairs of the two conferences. SUBMISSION INFORMATION ====================== Proposals for workshops should contain: 1. A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic and content. 2. The desired workshop length (one or two days) and an estimate of the number of attendees. 3. The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the organizers, with one-paragraph statements of their research interests and areas of expertise. 4. A list of Programme Committee members, with an indication of which members have already agreed. It is highly desirable for proposals to have at least 75% of the Programme Committee reviewers confirmed at the time of the submission. Organizers should do their best to estimate the number of submissions (especially for recurring workshops) in order to (a) ensure a sufficient number of reviewers so that each paper receives 3 reviews, and (b) anticipate that no one is committed to reviewing more than 2 papers. This practice is likely to ensure on-time, and more thorough and thoughtful reviews. Submissions should essentially be ready to be turned into a Call for Workshop Papers within one week of notification (see Timelines). 5. A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop. 6. A description of special requirements for technical needs. 7. A note specifying which venue(s) (EACL/ACL/EMNLP) would be acceptable and/or preferable. Workshop co-chairs will review the quality of the workshop proposals. Once the reviews are complete, the workshop co-chairs will work together to assign workshops to the three conferences, taking into account the location preferences and constraints provided by the workshop proposers. The ACL has a set of policies on workshops. You can find the ACL's general policies on workshops at http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshop-support-general-policy.html , the financial policy for workshops at http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshop-conf-financial-policy.html , and the financial policy for SIG workshops at http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/Workshops/workshops-Sig-financial-policy.html . Proposals may be submitted as Plain text, MS Word, or PDF documents (preferably PDF). Proposals should be attached and emailed to the workshop organizers (eacl.acl.emnlp.w14 at gmail.com) no later than 20 October 2013, Samoa Standard Time (SST) (UTC/GMT-11). *You should receive a confirmation of proposal receipt within 24 hours. If you do not, please get in touch with Jill Burstein: jburstein at ets.org.* Notification of acceptance of workshop proposals will occur no later than 4 November 2014. Organizers of accepted proposals will be responsible for publicizing and running the workshop, including reviewing submissions, producing the camera ready workshop proceedings, and organizing the meeting days. It is crucial that organizers commit to all deadlines. In particular, failure to produce the camera ready proceedings on time will lead to the exclusion of the workshop from the CD-ROM/USB & unified author indexes. Workshop organizers cannot accept for publication papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere, although they are free to set their own policies on simultaneous submission and review. Since the conferences will occur at different times, the timescales for the submission and reviewing of workshop papers, and the preparation of camera-ready copies, will be different for each conference.

The position is part of the MUCKE project (http://ifs.tuwien.ac.at/~mucke/) , funded within the CHIST-ERA funding scheme of FP7. The main challenge of the post-doc is the efficient representation of hundreds of thousands of multimedia concepts via the joint use of tens of millions of textual and visual documents. A secondary challenge is the use of these concepts representations to estimate the credibility of user generated content. Candidates should have experience in Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing and/or Machine Learning. They must be under 30 years old and have a good publication track in one of the three areas cited above. The working language can be either English or French and the position is available from October 2013. Kind regards, Adrian Popescu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Post-doc in Multimedia Processing available at CEA LIST, France The Vision and Content Engineering Lab (LVIC) of CEA LIST (French Atomic Commission), an interdisciplinary group that works on multimedia and multilingual data analysis and understanding, with a focus on fast growing and large public application domains, announces the availability of a 2-years post doctoral position. The position is associated to the MUCKE project, funded within the CHIST-ERA funding scheme of the FP7, which fosters highly innovative and multidisciplinary collaborative projects in information and communication sciences and technologies. The project will start in October 2012. Its main objective is to devise new and reliable knowledge extraction models designed for multilingual and multimodal data shared on social networks. The post-doctoral researcher will first work on multimodal concept representation (around 2/3 of the post-doc duration) and then on user credibility estimation for multimedia flows (around 1/3 of the postdoc duration). The first task will focus on the proposition of innovative language and image processing techniques as well as on their combination using information fusion techniques. Particular attention will be given to the scalability of the methods developed because one important project objective is to model a large number of concepts (hundreds of thousands) and an important volume of textual and visual documents (tens of millions). For images, the main problems tackled in MUCKE are parsimonious local image description, large scale concept detection and concept visualness. Multimodal fusion will be based on probabilistic models that move beyond a scoring of similarity towards providing an actual probability of relevance. For textual documents, the objective is to depart from text representations as bags of words (unigrams) to representations as vectors of unambiguous concepts and entities through concept and entity recognition and disambiguation. The second task will focus on the proposition of a novel model for estimating user credibility for multimedia flows, which combines content and structural features of the user?s networked representation. Using results obtained for concept representation, credibility estimation will be cast as an information fusion problem, with a first step that combines textual and visual information and a second step that combines user content and context. Another important credibility related question that will be investigated is whether credibility should be a global characteristic of a user or domain related. Candidates must hold a PhD in Computer Science obtained less than two years ago or expect to complete it before December 2013 and must be under 30 years old. Experience in Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval or Computer Vision is expected, as well as willingness to learn new topics related to the post-doc. The lab is situated in Palaiseau, 20 km south of Paris and is part of the CEA LIST Institute, which focuses its research activities on developing innovative technologies for smart and complex systems. The post-doc will be part of the lab's multimedia team, which consists of researchers in NLP, computer vision and multimedia processing. The working language is English. A more detailed description of LVIC's activities is available at http://www.kalisteo.fr/en/index.htm. For further information, please send an expression of interest to adrian.popescu at cea.fr, attaching a CV and a cover letter. The position is available from October 2013 and is open until filled.

Paris 13 du 28 au 30 octobre 2013 (http://flores.lipn.univ-paris13.fr/tia2013/Home.html), est organis? un atelier sur le th?me suivant : Mouvements des termes et impact sur les ressources sp?cialis?es Depuis les ann?es 1990, les travaux men?s en terminologie ont clairement montr? que les termes sont sujets ? variation. Parall?lement, on sait aujourd?hui que les causes de la variation terminologique sont nombreuses, ce que montre notamment Judit Freixa dans un article paru en 2004. Dans de nombreux cas, la variation terminologique r?sulte de ? mouvements ? des termes et des concepts, mouvements qui s?effectuent dans le temps (on parlera alors de variation diachronique) ou dans l?espace (variation diatopique), comme l?illustre la variation topolectale observable dans certains domaines entre la France, la Suisse et le Qu?bec, par exemple. Bien que moins d?crite, la variation terminologique peut aussi se situer sur le plan social (variation diastratique). Par ailleurs, d?autres causes de mouvements lexicaux m?ritent une attention particuli?re dans une perspective terminologique. C?est le cas, entre autres, des liens entre domaines et du passage d?unit?s lexicales de la langue g?n?rale vers les langues de sp?cialit?, et inversement (terminologisation et d?terminologisation, ph?nom?nes d?crits et nomm?s par Ingrid Meyer). Bien que ces mouvements lexicaux soient attest?s et ? au moins partiellement ? d?crits, le point de vue g?n?ralement adopt? sur le terme, en fonction de domaines de sp?cialit? cloisonn?s et en synchronie, ne permet pas de d?crire et de saisir ad?quatement ces mouvements et, de fait, de les traiter en terminologie. L??tude th?orique de la variation devrait pourtant d?boucher sur des approches m?thodologiques visant une prise en charge terminographique des divers types de variation dans les dictionnaires ?lectroniques, les bases de donn?es lexicales et les ontologies. Partant de ce constat, l?objectif de l?atelier est de nourrir la r?flexion sur la nature, l?impact et les besoins de prise en charge de la variation terminologique pour la communication sp?cialis?e et/ou dans les ressources terminographiques, ? travers le prisme des diff?rents types de ? mouvements ? qui la conditionnent. Nous esp?rons r?unir des chercheurs provenant de disciplines vari?es (terminologie, linguistique de corpus, lexicologie, lexicographie et informatique, sciences cognitives, etc.), dont les diff?rents regards permettront d?enrichir la r?flexion sur le sujet. Principaux th?mes Axe 1 : Identification du besoin de prise en compte de la variation terminologique li?e ? des mouvements lexicaux (diachroniques, diatopiques, diastratiques, etc.) o Etudes de cas ou exemples qui mettent en ?vidence l?importance d?une prise en compte pour diff?rents contextes (ex. terminologie, traduction, construction ou enrichissement d?ontologies, recherche d?information, lexicographie, etc.) o Impact sur la gestion des connaissances ou la gestion du risque langagier ; solutions envisag?es pour y r?pondre Axe 2 : Propositions m?thodologiques de rep?rage ou de traitement de la variation terminologique o Utilisation de corpus sp?cialis?s comparables, comparaison de ressources, utilisation d?ontologies, outils, annotations, etc. o Utilisation du web comme corpus de rep?rage Axe 3 : Prise en charge de la variation dans les ressources terminographiques, lexicographiques ou les ontologies o Modalit?s de prise en charge des mouvements lexicaux dans diff?rents types de ressources o Propositions de formalisation pour diff?rentes applications o Atouts et limites de la prise en charge Cette liste n?est pas exhaustive, et toute proposition de question ou de probl?matisation sera la bienvenue. Modalit?s de soumission Les auteurs soumettront leur communication pour une double ?valuation avant le 10 septembre 2013. Les propositions seront envoy?es ? tia.atelier.mouvement at gmail.com en format PDF et devront comporter les ?l?ments suivants : - Une proposition de communication de 2 ? 3 pages (entre 1000 et 1500 mots, y compris la bibliographie). - Un fichier s?par? contenant nom et pr?nom, institution et coordonn?es (adresse courriel, num?ro de t?l?phone et adresse postale) de l?auteur ou des auteurs et le titre de la communication; Les propositions seront ?valu?es par le comit? de programme de l?atelier sur la base des crit?res suivants : - pertinence du sujet trait? par rapport au th?me du colloque; - cadre th?orique ou conceptuel propos? et m?thodologie li?e ? la recherche (s?il s?agit d?une ?tude de nature empirique); - organisation et clart? de la proposition.

Paris 13 from October 28th to October 30th 2013 ( http://flores.lipn.univ-paris13.fr/tia2013/Home.html), the following multidisciplinary workshop will be held: Lexical movement and its impact on specialised resources Since the 1990?s, research in terminology has clearly demonstrated that terms are subject to variation. It is now a known fact that the causes for terminological variation are numerous, as described by Judit Freixa in an article published in 2004. In many cases, terminological variation is the result of different "movements" of terms and concepts which are happening either in time (we then speak of diachronic variation) or space (diatopic variation) as can be observed through the regional variation between France, Switzerland and Quebec, for example. Similarly, although less described, terminological variation can also happen at the social level (diastratic variation). Other causes of lexical movements also need to be investigated from a terminological perspective, such as the links between subject fields and the migration of terms from general language to specialized languages, or vice-versa (the terminologization and determinologisation phenomena, as described and named by Ingrid Meyer). Although these movements are documented and?at least partially?described, the point of view generally adopted to describe terms, which is subject-specific and synchronic, does not allow for an adequate description and understanding of those movements, which are not, consequently, adequately handled in the framework of terminology. The study of term variation from a theoretical point of view should lead to methodological approaches which would allow for the proper management of the different types of variation in electronic dictionaries, lexical databases and ontologies. Based on these observations, the objective of this workshop is to fuel reflection on the nature of terminological variation, its impacts, and what would be required to support terminological variation for specialized communication and/or terminographical resources, through the various types of "movements" such variation is built on. This workshop hopes to bring together researchers from disciplines such as terminology, corpus linguistics, lexicology, lexicography, computer science and cognitive science in order to gain different perspectives on the subject. Topics Topic 1 ? Identification of the need to take into account terminological variation related to lexical movements (diachronic, diatopic, diastratic, etc.). o Case studies or examples that show the importance of taking variation into account in various contexts related to terminology, translation, ontology building or enrichment, information retrieval, lexicography, etc. o Impact on knowledge management and linguistic risk mitigation, and potential solutions for such problems Topic 2 - Methodological proposals for tracking or processing variation o Using specialized comparable corpus, resources comparison, use of ontologies, tools, annotations, etc. o Using the Web as corpus for tracking Topic 3 - Methods for taking variation into account in terminographical and lexicographical resources or ontologies o Methods to handle lexical movements in different types of resources o Proposed formalization for different applications o Strengths and limitations This list is not closed and propositions for any related issues are welcome. Paper submissions Papers will be submitted to a double blind review before September 10, 2013. Proposals must be sent to tia.atelier.mouvement at gmail.com in PDF format and must include the following: - A 2 to 3 page paper proposal (between 1000 and 1500 words, including references). - A separate file containing full name, institution and contact information (email address, phone number and mailing address) of the author or authors and the title of the paper; Proposals will be evaluated by the scientific committee of the workshop on the basis of the following criteria: - the relevance of the topic to the theme of the conference; - the theoretical or conceptual framework and methodology proposed, related to research (if empirical); - the organization and clarity of the proposal. Key Dates Deadline for submission of proposals: 10 September 2013 Notice of acceptance: 30 September 2013 Deadline for the final version of the proposal: 10 October 2013 Workshop: October 30, 2013 Workshop Venue Wednesday, October 30 2013 at the Institut Galil?e, Universit? Paris 13, 99 av. Jean-Baptiste Cl?ment 93430 Villetaneuse. Proceedings In a first stage, the final versions of the proposals will be consolidated in a PDF document and distributed to participants of TIA. Subsequently, the organizers plan to publish a collective volume on the topic of the workshop, which will include extended versions of the papers presented at the workshop and evaluated by a scientific committee.

Le d?veloppement et la disponibilit? accrue d?outils d?analyse de donn?es sophistiqu?s ont modifi? le visage de la linguistique quantitative durant la derni?re d?cennie. En particulier, les ph?nom?nes d?alternance (dans lesquels le locuteur doit choisir une forme parmi plusieurs possibles) ont connu un regain d?int?r?t gr?ce aux avanc?es dans le domaine de la mod?lisation statistique (Gries, 2003 ; Benor and Levy, 2006 ; Bresnan et al., 2007). Les ?tudes r?centes ont pour la plupart mod?lis? des donn?es ?crites et orales de l?anglais, mais des r?sultats sur d?autres langues commencent ? ?merger. En parall?le aux ?tudes sur corpus, les travaux en psycholinguistique ont ?galement examin? les facteurs qui contribuent aux choix d?un ordre de mots ou de constituants en production (par ex. Tanaka et al., 2011) et influencent les temps de traitement (processing) en compr?hension (par ex. Brown et al., 2012). En int?grant les r?sultats obtenus en corpus et en recherche exp?rimentale, cette journ?e esp?re faire avancer notre compr?hension des processus sous-jacents qui r?gissent les ph?nom?nes d?alternance. En d?veloppant la mod?lisation de donn?es de corpus sur un ensemble vari? de langues et de ph?nom?nes, des r?sultats pourront ?galement ?merger en ce qui concerne les processus sous-jacents. De ce point de vue, les approches quantitatives sur corpus (?crits et oraux) et les travaux psycholinguistiques qui s?int?ressent aux ph?nom?nes d?alternance dans diff?rentes langues seront particuli?rement bienvenus. Le but de cette journ?e est donc d?apporter un ?clairage sur ces questions g?n?rales en rassemblant des psycholinguistes et des linguistes travaillant ? partir de la mod?lisation statistique de donn?es de corpus sur des th?matiques relatives ? des ph?nom?nes d?alternance d?ordre dans diff?rentes langues. Voici une liste non-exhaustive des th?mes pouvant ?tre abord?s : - Approche quantitative de donn?es de corpus et mod?lisation statistique de ph?nom?nes d'alternance de mots et de constructions mots dans des langues diverses ; - ?tudes exp?rimentales sur des ph?nom?nes d?alternance et les facteurs psycholinguistiques qui influencent leur compr?hension ; - Probl?mes th?oriques concernant les probabilit?s de corpus: que repr?sentent les probabilit?s en corpus ? Les observations en corpus correspondent-elles ou diff?rent-elle des r?sultats obtenus dans des exp?riences psycholinguistiques ? Les propositions de communication (dur?e 25 min + 10 min de discussion) sont ? envoyer ? journee.labex.atala at gmail.com. Les personnes int?ress?es devront soumettre un r?sum? d?une page (12 pt) avec une page suppl?mentaire pour les exemples, tableaux, figures et r?f?rences. Les propositions devront ?tre au format pdf. La date limite de soumission est fix?e au 25 ao?t 2013 et les notifications seront envoy?es le 16 septembre. Les r?sum?s sont ? envoyer ? journee.labex.atala at gmail.com --------------------Call for papers----------------------------- The goal of this research day is to bring together computational linguists, corpus linguists and psycholinguists who work on word order alternation phenomena in various languages. The development and increased availability of statistical tools for sophisticated data analysis in the past decade has changed the face of quantitative linguistic analysis. In particular, alternation phenomena (in which a speaker may choose one out of several possible linguistic forms) have seen a renewed interest due to advances in statistical modeling (Gries, 2003; Benor and Levy, 2006; Bresnan et al., 2007). The recent studies have mostly modeled English corpus data, presumably in part because of the development of large tagged corpora of written and spoken English. However, there are now many research programs developing high quality, large-scale corpus resources for languages other than English. In parallel to corpus-based studies, psycholinguistic work has also examined the factors that contribute to speakers? choices with respect to word or constituent order in production (e.g., Tanaka et al., 2011) and influence processing complexity in comprehension (e.g., Brown et al., 2012). By integrating findings from both corpus studies and experimental research, this workshop has as its goal to make progress on understanding the underlying processes governing alternation phenomena. We also believe that developing corpus models on a diverse set of languages and alternations will give rise to interesting observations regarding the processes underlying alternation phenomena. Therefore, submissions of corpus and/or psycholinguistic work handling alternation phenomena in a variety of languages are of particular interest. A non-exhaustive list of possible topics includes: - Corpus studies on alternation phenomena in a variety of languages, including constituent or word order alternations and syntactic construction alternations. - Experimental studies of alternation phenomena and the psycholinguistic factors that influence their comprehension or production. - Theoretical issues on corpus probabilities: What do corpus probabilities represent? How do observed patterns reflect or differ from results of psycholinguistic experiments? We invite submissions of one-page, .pdf-format abstracts in 12-point font, with an additional page for data, references and figures, for 25-minute presentations with 10 minutes for questions. The deadline for submission is **August 25, 2013**, and notifications of acceptance will be made by September 16. Please submit abstracts by e-mail to journee.labex.atala at gmail.com. __________ References / R?f?rences Benor, Sarah Bunin, and Roger Levy. 2006. The chicken or the egg?

More specifi call y, argumentation theory involves different ways for analyzing arguments and their relationships. In everyday life arguments are "reasons to believe and reasons to act". Until recent years, the idea of "argumentation" as the process of creating arguments for and against competing claims, was a subject of interest to philosophers and lawyers. In recent years, however, there has been a growth of interest in the subject from for mal and technical perspectives in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, and a wide use of argumentation technologies in practical applications. Here, argumentation is viewed as a mechanical procedure for interpreting events, organizing and presenting documents, and making decisions about actions. From a theoretical perspective, argumentation offers a novel framework providing new light on classical for ms of reasoning, such as logical deduction, induction, abduction and plausible reasoning, communication, explanations of advice, supporting discussion and negotiation in computer-supported cooperative work. From a human-computer interaction point of view, argumentation is a versatile technique that facilitates natural system behavior and is more easily understood by human users. In spite of the wide range of disciplines interested in Argumentation, scientific communities tend to be organized along disciplinary boundaries, with only moderate integration occurring between computational models and philosophical and linguistic theories of Argumentation. This workshop aims at rectifying this situation, bringing together people from various disciplines (most notably, Artificial Intelligence, Philosophy, Linguistics, and Psychology) and asking them to compare their methods and results in the study of Argumentation. ===================== TOPICS OF INTEREST: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Analysis of controversies Applications of argumentation technologies (e.g. e-democracy, risk assessment, law and medicine) Argument schemes Argumentation and epistemology Argumentation and game theory Argumentation and human-computer interaction Argumentation for coordination and coalition for mation Argumentation in a legal context Argumentation in a medical context Argumentation in a political context Argumentation in agent and multi-agent systems Argumentation in debate Argumentation in the media Argumentation structures Argumentation, trust and reputation Argumentation-based negotiation Natural language argumentation Computational properties of argumentation Decision making based on argumentation Dialogue systems based on argumentation Fallacies For mal and in for mal models for argumentation Implementation of argumentation systems Persuasion research Reasoning about action and time with argumentation Rhetoric and argumentation Strategies and argumentation Systems for learning through argument Tools for supporting argumentation Visual argumentation ===================== IMPORTANT DATES: Submission deadline: September 21st, 2013 Notification of acceptance : October 21st, 2013 Early registration: October 31st, 2013 Conference days: December 4-6, 2013 Workshop day: December 3rd, 2013 ===================== ORGANIZING COMMITTEE: Elena Cabrio (Inria Sophia Antipolis) - Workshop Chair Serena Villata (Inria Sophia Antipolis) - Workshop Chair ===================== PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Guido Boella (University of Torino) Paola Cantu?

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 30th, 2013: Paper submission deadline November 30th, 2013: Notification of acceptance December 31st, 2013: Final manuscript due April/May, 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.

LIMSI invites applications for a one-year Postdoctoral position. We are seeking researchers with interests in combining statistical learning, structured Information Retrieval, and text/data mining. The postdoctoral fellow will contribute to a project funded by ANR addressing information retrieval in the biomedical domain. Medical cases are described through natural language texts. Each case is described by a set of reports. The goal of this work is to look for similar cases. This functionality targets medical doctors who will define the type of search they are interested in. A representation of each case will be built, including structure and content. It can rely on various levels of analysis, including medical entities detected in the texts, leading to multiple views of a case. Search methods will be proposed to identify globally similar cases or cases which contain similar parts according to some dimension. The methods will rely both on text contents and on external knowledge bases. Monolingual and bilingual resources are available for this purpose. The proposed methods will be applicable to multiple languages, including English and French, and across languages, so that similar cases can be found jointly in two languages. Unsupervised methods, including topic models and clustering, are natural candidates to help represent the cases. The work will be performed in the framework of a collaborative project involving partners in medicine, natural language processing, and knowledge engineering.

This is in consonance with the fact that word and term meaning is now in the spotlight, thanks to dictionary compilation, ontology modeling, document indexing, and information retrieval. As such, lexical semantics has become a convergence point for disciplines such as lexicography, phraseology, corpus linguistics, pragmatics, and knowledge representation, all of which are crucial to Terminology. In the initial years of Terminology, meaning, viewed as an inherent property of specialized knowledge units, was not given its due importance. In fact, terms were not even regarded as true language units but rather as mere labels for concepts. Definitions in term entries were a data field that was often filled by automatically including definitions found in other resources. However, the advent of corpus linguistics and corpus pattern analysis has brought many questions to the forefront in Terminology, such as term variation and polysemy, which were previously not envisaged in specialized language. Other issues include the identification of specialized meaning in running text, as well as the relations between terms and other lexical units. As a result, terminologists now have to deal with term meaning and how it is represented in texts. In addition, new methods for compiling specialized dictionaries and for representing knowledge require sophisticated models to account for fine-grained semantic distinctions and rich sets of paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations. Such methods should be based on a coherent set of theoretical premises. In this sense, a number of meaning-based linguistic frameworks can be or have been usefully applied or adapted to Terminology. These include the following: - Cognitive Semantics (e.g. Talmy 2000) - Explanatory Combinatorial Lexicology, ECL (Mel?cuk et al. 1984-1999; 1995) - Frame Semantics (Fillmore 1982, 1985) - The Generative Lexicon (Pustejovsky 1995) - Lexical Grammar Model (Mart?n Mingorance 1998, Faber and Mairal 1999) The editors invite submissions that present innovative research work or articles addressing a central conceptual, theoretical, and/or empirical investigation on lexical semantic approaches to Terminology and Specialized Languages. Possible topics include but are not limited to the following: 1. Conceptual modeling and knowledge representation as reflected in lexical structure 2. Representation of specialized meaning (e.g. definitions, argument structure, knowledge patterns) 3. Paradigmatic and/or syntagmatic relations 4. Applications of lexical-semantic frameworks to the analysis and management of terminological data 5. Extraction of semantic data from specialized corpora 6. Terminology knowledge bases that include or are based on lexical semantic frameworks 7. Lexical modeling for ontologies 8. Terminological metaphor Submissions Papers should be written with Word and comprise between 20-30 pages (max. 9,000 words). More information on formatting requirements can be found on the John Benjamins website (http://benjamins.com/#catalog/journals/term). English is preferred (80% of the contents), but submissions in French, Spanish or German will be considered. Each issue of Terminology contains up to six or seven articles.

This interdisciplinary initiative is a response to the growing popularity of Digital Humanities and an increased tendency to apply computer techniques for supporting and facilitating research in Humanities. Nowadays, due to the increasing activities in digitizing and opening historical sources, the Science of History can greatly benefit from the advances of Computer and Information sciences which consist of processing, organizing and making sense of data and information. As such, new Computer Science techniques can be applied to verify and validate historical assumptions based on text reasoning, image interpretation or memory understanding. Our objective is to provide for the two different research communities a place to meet and exchange ideas and to facilitate discussion. We hope the workshop will result in a survey of current problems and potential solutions, with particular focus on exploring opportunities for collaboration and interaction of researchers working on various subareas within Computer Science and History Sciences. The main topics of the workshop are that of supporting historical research and analysis through the application of Computer Science theories or technologies, analyzing and making use of historical texts, recreating past course of actions, analyzing collective memories, visualizing historical data, providing efficient access to large wealth of accumulated historical knowledge and so on. The detailed topics of expected paper submissions are (but not limited to): - Processing and text mining of historical documents - Analysis of longitudinal document collections - Search models in document archives and historical collections, associative search - Causal relationship discovery based on historical resources - Entity relationship extraction, detecting and resolving historical references in text - Computational linguistics for old texts - Digitizing and archiving - Modeling evolution of entities and relationships over time - Automatic multimedia document dating - Applications of artificial intelligence techniques to history - Simulating and recreating the past course of actions, social relations, motivations, figurations - Analysis of language change over time - Handling uncertain and fragmentary text and image data - Finding analogical entities - Entity linking in historical collections - Named entity detection in historical texts - Automatic biography generation - Mining Wikipedia for historical data - OCR and transcription of old texts - Effective interfaces for searching, browsing or visualizing historical data collections - Collective memory analysis - Studying and modeling forgetting and remembering processes - Vulgarization of History through new media - Probing the limits of Histoinformatics - Epistemologies in the Humanities and Computer Science Full paper submissions are limited to 14 pages, while short paper submissions should be less than 6 pages. Submissions should be sent in English in PDF via the submission website (see the website for link). They should be formatted according to Springer LNCS paper formatting guidelines. They must be original and have not been submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions will be evaluated by at least three different reviewers from both computer and history science areas. The accepted papers will be published by Springer as post proceedings volume (to appear after the workshop). --------------------- ---Important Dates--- --------------------- - Paper submission deadline: October 6, 2013 - Notification of acceptance: October 25, 2013 - Camera ready copy deadline: November 5, 2013 - Workshop date: Nov 25, 2013 -------------------------- ---Organizing Committee--- -------------------------- - Adam Jatowt (Kyoto University, Japan) - Gael Dias (Normandie University, France) - Agostini-Ouafi Viviana (Normandie University, France) - Christian Gudehus (University of Flensburg, Germany) - Gunter Muhlberger (University of Innsbruck, Austria) -------------------------- ---Scientific Committee--- -------------------------- - Antal van Den Bosch (Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands) - Lindsey Dodd (University of Huddersfield, UK) - Antoine Doucet (Normandie University, France) - Marten During (Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands) - Nattiya Kanhabua (LS3 Research Center, Germany) - Tom Kenter (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - Daan Odijk (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - Denis Peschanski (Pantheon-Sorbonne University, France) - Shigeo Sugimoto (University of Tsukuba, Japan) - Nina Tahmasebi (LS3 Research Center, Germany) - William Turkel (University of Western Ontario, Canada) - To be extended. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------
