From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Feb 2 19:33:36 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 2 Feb 2013 20:33:36 +0100 Subject: Appel: BUCC, 6th Workshop on Building and Using Comparable Corpora Message-ID: Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2013 06:09:31 +0000 From: Serge Sharoff Message-ID: <5108B91B.1090504 at leeds.ac.uk> X-url: http://comparable.limsi.fr/bucc2013/ BUCC, SIXTH WORKSHOP ON BUILDING AND USING COMPARABLE CORPORA When: 8 August 2013 Where: Sofia, Bulgaria, co-located with ACL2013 Deadline for papers: 26 April 2013 Notification of acceptance: 24 May 2013 Camera-ready deadline: 7 June 2013 Website: http://comparable.limsi.fr/bucc2013/ Website for submissions: https://www.softconf.com/acl2013/BUCC2013/ 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. Organizers: Serge Sharoff, University of Leeds, UK (Chair) Pierre Zweigenbaum, LIMSI-CNRS and ERTIM-INALCO, France Reinhard Rapp, Universities of Mainz, Germany, and Aix-Marseille, France Programme Committee: Chris Biemann (TU Darmstadt, Germany) Hervé Déjean (Xerox Research Centre Europe, Grenoble, France) Kurt Eberle (Lingenio, Heidelberg, Germany) Andreas Eisele (European Commission, Luxembourg) Pascale Fung (Hong Kong University of Science & Technology) Éric Gaussier (Université Joseph Fourier, Grenoble, France) Gregory Grefenstette (Exalead, Paris, France) Silvia Hansen-Schirra (University of Mainz, Germany) Hitoshi Isahara (Toyohashi University of Technology) Kyo Kageura (University of Tokyo, Japan) Adam Kilgarriff (Lexical Computing Ltd, UK) Natalie Kübler (Université Paris Diderot, France) Philippe Langlais (Université de Montréal, Canada) Emmanuel Morin (Université de Nantes, France) Lene Offersgaard (University of Copenhagen, Denmark) Reinhard Rapp (University of Tarragona, Spain) Serge Sharoff (University of Leeds, UK) Mandel Shi (Xiamen University, China) Michel Simard (National Research Council Canada) Richard Sproat (OGI School of Science & Technology, US) Dragos Stefan Munteanu (Language Weaver, Inc., US) Justin Washtell (University of Leeds, UK) Michael Zock (Laboratoire d'Informatique Fondamentale, CNRS, Marseille) Pierre Zweigenbaum (LIMSI-CNRS, France) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Feb 2 19:38:04 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 2 Feb 2013 20:38:04 +0100 Subject: Job: post-doc researchers, Call for Expressions of Interest, EC-JRC Message-ID: Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:45:48 +0100 From: Ralf Steinberger Message-id: <054501cdfef0$1c9c8bc0$55d5a340$@jrc.ec.europa.eu> X-url: http://europa.eu/epso/apply/jobs/cast/2013/cast_jrc/index_en.htm This is to inform the members of this list that a call for expressions of interest for contract agents (post-doc researchers) to work at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) has just opened.

In recent years, the demands of interactive entertainment and interest in the creation of engaging narratives with life-like characters have provided a fresh impetus to this field. This book provides an overview of the principal problems, approaches, and challenges faced today in modeling the narrative structure of stories. The book introduces classical narratological concepts from literary theory and their mapping to computational approaches. It demonstrates how research in AI and NLP has modeled character goals, causality, and time using formalisms from planning, case-based reasoning, and temporal reasoning, and discusses fundamental limitations in such approaches. It proposes new representations for embedded narratives and fictional entities, for assessing the pace of a narrative, and offers an empirical theory of audience response. These notions are incorporated into an annotation scheme called NarrativeML. The book identifies key issues that need to be addressed, including annotation methods for long literary narratives, the representation of modality and habituality, and characterizing the goals of narrators. It also suggests a future characterized by advanced text mining of narrative structure from large-scale corpora and the development of a variety of useful authoring aids. This is the first book to provide a systematic foundation that integrates together narratology, AI, and computational linguistics. It can serve as a narratology primer for computer scientists and an elucidation of computational narratology for literary theorists. It is written in a highly accessible manner and is intended for use by a broad scientific audience that includes linguists (computational and formal semanticists), AI researchers, cognitive scientists, computer scientists, game developers, and narrative theorists. ____________________ In the series, Synthesis Lectures on Human Language Technologies, edited by Graeme Hirst, University of Toronto: http://www.morganclaypool.com/toc/hlt/1/1 This title is available online, free of charge to members of institutions that that have licensed the Synthesis Digital Library of Engineering and Computer Science.

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 Les articles sont écrits en français ou en anglais.

NEs include proper nouns but also entities expressed through other nominal expressions, such as multi-word units, classified into types which may be coarse or fine-grained according to domain or user requirements. Despite years of research, NER still includes several challenges, such as correct classification, resolution of ambiguity, synonym detection, coreference and variability (e.g., acronyms, orthography). Several methods have been used to improve the prediction of correct classes, ranging from rule-based and dictionary-based approaches, to semi-supervised, and unsupervised machine learning techniques. Evaluation depends on the existence of gold (or silver) standards and domain specificity (e.g. genes, proteins, symptoms in health records, etc). Evaluation of NREelX is even more complex when considered in the end-to-end case. How can we evaluate NERelX while taking into account the errors coming from previous analysis steps? We invite submissions on all topics relating to NE, NER and NE relation extraction, including: - Definition and typology of NEs, multi-word units - Domain and document adaptation methods in NER (abstracts, full papers, wikipedia, domain specific documents, new social media like twitter, online threads, spoken documents, etc.) - Detecting NE spans and structural analysis of NEs (NE parsing) - Cross-document coreference and entity linking - NE Tracking through time, social or geographical groups, intra- and inter-document NE tracking etc. - Normalisation aspects of NE (coreference, disambiguation) - Recognising NEs in general language and special domains - Guidelines and annotation tools of NE resources, NE corpora - Cross-language aspects in NE extraction - Evaluation, comparison and critical assessment of tools - NE and NLP applications dependant or based on NEs LANGUAGE Manuscripts may be submitted in English or French. French-speaking authors are requested to submit their contributions in French.

At Idiap, we are studying methods for using text-level information to improve SMT, in the context of the Swiss COMTIS project (www.idiap.ch/comtis). In particular, we have successfully combined classifiers for discourse connectives with state-of-the-art SMT systems, showing an improvement on such particles. In collaborations with linguists, we currently analyze the features that govern the translation of verb tenses, mainly from English to French. The main challenge for MT is that there is no one-to-one mapping from English to French tenses, and the correct choice depends on the context. The goal of the internship is to design and implement a method for predicting the translation of verb tenses, applied to English/French translation (or another European language). First, training data will be generated by the word alignment of annotated parallel corpora. Then, a classifier will be trained to predict tense translation based on lexical and semantic features. Its output will then be used to train and test a tense-aware SMT system, which will be evaluated in terms of BLEU improvement but also verb-specific scores (METEOR or ACT). The applicants should have a background in computer science or linguistics. Knowledge of computational linguistics and machine learning would be an advantage. Previous experience with statistical machine translation would be highly appreciated. The applicants should have demonstrable programming skills in at least one scripting language such as Perl or Python, or master a programming language such as Java or C/C++. Good command of English and knowledge of another European language (preferably French) are mandatory. The applications should be submitted before March 15, 2013, with priority given to those submitted earlier. The internship can start immediately, but no later than July 1st, 2013. The appointment is for 6 months, with a gross salary of 2000 CHF per month.

Les données de la recherche en questions" Séance du mercredi 13 février 2013 Manipulation des données scientifiques, Faux, plagiats et pillages Alain RIAZUELO Chargé de recherche au CNRS, Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris - Principal sujet de recherche : l'univers primordial Les anneaux de Vénus - Éléments de réflexion sur les amours contrariées des frères Bogdanov avec la science. Personnalités médiatiques bien connues, les frères Igor et Grichka Bogdanov nourrissent depuis une vingtaine d'années des ambitions scientifiques qui ont en plusieurs occasions suscité la réprobation de certains chercheurs et de la presse spécialisée, sans pour autant que cela n'altère leur popularité ou leur statut revendiqué de scientifiques brillants auprès du grand public. Dans ce séminaire, je présenterai quelques éléments de contexte visant à rappeler le fossé qui sépare la réalité académique de l'image publique, et évoquerai les difficultés qu'ont les scientifiques à se faire entendre face à des personnalités rompues à l'exercice médiatique, bénéficiant d'un certain nombre de soutiens, et capables au besoin d'invoquer la loi comme substitut au débat scientifique. Geneviève KOUBI Professeur de Droit public, Université Paris Vincennes Saint-Denis CERSA-CNRS UMR 7106 L'idée plus que le texte : le plagiat et l'autoplagiat. L'observation sur la multiplication des cas de ressemblance entre deux textes ou plus, entre deux études ou plus, entre deux démonstrations ou plus, qui laisse planer le doute quant à l'existence d'un plagiat, devient éprouvante. Les affaires dites de « plagiat » semblent acquérir une couverture médiatique de plus en plus ample sans pour autant connaître de solutions satisfaisantes. Cette mise en scène qui s'accapare des objets de publicité, livres, films, photographies, tableaux, etc., ne revient-elle pas à occulter d'autres sujets, ceux qui justement s'emparent de la réflexion, de l'analyse, des expériences, des études, de la pensée, de la recherche donc ? Les termes de copie, de récurrence, de répétition, d'intertextualité, de reproduction, de contrefaçon, les expressions de copier-coller ou de réutilisation d'un texte, de dérivé linguistique etc. exposent les captations, les appropriations par autrui de la substance de l'idée créatrice, de la pensée novatrice, de l'originalité de la réflexion, de l'indépendance d'esprit, de l'inventivité du raisonnement. Pourtant, il est une dimension substantielle sur laquelle tout reposerait : l'antériorité d'un texte, d'un discours, d'une étude, d'un argument, d'un dire sur les autres. L'antécédence d'une production, d'une publication ne peut systématiquement constituer une confirmation de la répétition constatée, du plagiat avéré. Or, pour que la notion de plagiat prenne sens, il apparaît nécessaire de repérer un « avant-texte » à partir duquel évaluer ressemblances et dissemblances, similitudes et différences. Ceci s'effectue au risque de situer hors de portée de l'analyse l'idée-force, la pensée-clef.

Ce glossaire s'adresse à toute personne concernée par la géomatique, c’est-à-dire qui travaille dans le domaine de la géographie, l'urbanisme, l'informatique, etc. La commission a pour objectif de réaliser une mise à jour de la version électronique de ce glossaire pour tenir compte en particulier des évolutions techniques du domaine de la géomatique. Ces travaux ont été entamés en particulier sur les entrées du glossaire : termes obsolètes et à supprimer, termes obsolètes mais présentant un intérêt historique, termes conservés, termes à ajouter ont été listés. Le contenu du glossaire révisé a aussi été précisé, le texte actuel devra être enrichi pour proposer des définitions multiples, des exemples d'utilisation qui permettraient de contextualiser les termes concernés et en donner un contexte d'usage et des termes associés : synonyme, opposé, "voir aussi". Enfin, la mise à jour devrait s'appuyer sur des sources d'information existantes et des travaux similaires par les thèmes abordés ou par les modes de consultation proposés. Sujet L'objectif du stage est de : - préciser la nouvelle ligne éditoriale de ce glossaire à partir des études préalables déjà réalisées et des préconisations déjà formulées par la commission, - proposer une méthode de mise à jour qui tiendra compte en particulier de la cohérence, de la couverture et de la granularité des définitions - et la tester sur un domaine thématique de la géomatique. Le déroulement du stage pourrait être le suivant : - analyse du glossaire existant et du projet éditorial tel qu'il est déjà défini afin de bien cadrer les attentes ; - définition des principes de sélection des documents primaires qui pourraient être les plus intéressants à intégrer au corpus qui doit documenter les analyses des termes à décrire (un corpus électronique de la géomatique a déjà été constitué, il devra être vérifié dans cette étape) ; - définition d'une méthodologie de repérage en corpus des termes absents du glossaire mais attestés en corpus afin de pouvoir ensuite définir les critères de sélection et d'intégration des nouveaux termes ; - définition du programme d'information et de l'organisation structurelle des articles du nouveau glossaire ; - élaboration du protocole de rédaction des articles (de la documentation des usages en corpus à leur traitement textuel et structurel, en envisageant éventuellement des enrichissements du type annotations du texte des descriptions lexicales ou introduction de liens) ; - préconisations de traitements éditoriaux en fonction du ou des supports de publication envisagés. Ce programme étant ambitieux, toutes les tâches prévues pourront ne pas être traitées à la même échelle, mais il serait intéressant pour le stagiaire comme pour la commission de terminologie de pouvoir avoir une vue d’ensemble du projet éditorial et de la méthode de travail préconisée. Des orientations réfléchies et argumentées seront donc attendues pour chaque point. Un expert de la géomatique apportera ses compétences afin d'aider le stagiaire à maîtriser les notions fondamentales du domaine et vérifiera régulièrement les propositions terminologiques. Des travaux similaires par les thèmes abordés ou par les modes de consultation proposés, ont déjà été recensés et pourront aussi constituer des sources d'exemples.

No problem! (Bilingual lexicon extraction from comparable corpora for closely related languages) In smaller language communities, such as Slovenia, most funds and efforts for bilingual dictionary creation are usually limited to a few world languages, such as English, German, French and Italian. But very often there is a need, either among researchers in natural language processing or among foreign language students, for a dictionary between less marketable language combinations as well. In this talk we propose an attempt to close this gap economically and efficiently for a pair of closely related languages, such as Slovene and Croatian, solely by relying on the nonparallel corpus resources that are readily available or can be constructed quickly and with relatively little effort. We will show that we can build context vectors from web corpora for each language, and then compare the vectors in the two different languages by taking advantage of the language similarities, in order to identify which word pairs in the two languages are contextually most similar. Typically, a seed dictionary is needed to translate the features of source context vectors into the target language, but because our languages are very similar, we tackle the task by using identical words and cognates only. In addition, we try to improve the results by increasing the seed dictionary with the automatically extracted translation pairs of the most frequent words in the corpus, the quality of which is known to be very good. Finally, we perform cognate-based reranking of the list of top 10 translation candidates, which improves the results even further. Currently, we are trying to adapt the approach to be able to identify false friends, which are words that look orthographically the same in both languages but are used to denote different concepts and are therefore used in completely different contexts. They are extremely important in language learning because they are a common source of errors even among advanced language learners, but would be a welcome resource in a number of HLT tasks too. The presented approach is knowledge-light, requiring minimal language processing tools, such as lemmatization and PoS-tagging and could therefore be applied to any combination of closely related languages and corpora from any domain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Wed Feb 6 08:57:54 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2013 09:57:54 +0100 Subject: Ressources: EAC-TM, Another freely available translation memory, in 26 languages Message-ID: Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:25:47 +0100 From: Ralf Steinberger Message-id: <00df01ce0400$83389e40$89a9dac0$@jrc.ec.europa.eu> X-url: http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/EAC-TM.html EAC-TM is a translation memory (sentences and their manually produced translations) in 26 languages. It is a multilingual parallel corpus covering 325 language pairs. Size: Up to 5100 translation units per language; 78,000 in total. Languages: All 325 language pairs involving the following 26 languages: Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, German, Greek, Finnish, French, Croatian, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. URL: http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/EAC-TM.html Creator: EC Directorate for Education and Culture (EAC http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/education_culture/ ) and JRC WHAT IS EAC-TM EAC-TM was produced by translating the English language form data for the EAC’s Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) and the Youth in Action Programme of the European Commission’s Directorate General for Education and Culture (EAC). The results of the translation were stored in 25 bilingual translation memories. DG EAC and the JRC post-processed these by cleaning the data and by producing one alignment for all 26 languages, resulting in parallel data for 325 language pairs. The underlying documents are thus form data in the field of education and culture. The EAC Translation Memory (http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/EAC-TM.html) is much smaller than the other multilingual resources distributed in the past by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC). Its main advantages are that (a) it covers even more languages and (b) it is based on texts from a very different domain (education and culture). MOTIVATION FOR THIS RELEASE The public data release is in line with the general effort of the European Commission to support multilingualism, language diversity and the re-use of Commission information. It follows the release of the JRC-Acquis (http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/JRC-Acquis.html) parallel corpus in 2006 (over 1 billion words in 22 languages), of the DGT-TM Translation Memory (http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/DGT-TM.html) in 2007 and 2011, the multilingual named entity resource JRC-Names (http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/JRC-Names.html) in 2011, the multi-label classification software JRC EuroVoc Indexer JEX (http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Eurovoc.html) in 22 languages in 2012,the ECDC-TM Translation Memory (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/?id=782) in 25 languages in 2012, the DGT-Acquis (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/?id=783) parallel corpus in 23 languages in 2012, and further smaller multilingual resources. See http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/?id=61 for more information on these resources. WHAT EAC-TM CAN BE USED FOR EAC-TM can be fed into translation memory software to support human translators in their work. As it is a large parallel corpus in electronic form, it can furthermore be used by specialists in computational linguistics to train statistical machine translation software, to generate multilingual dictionaries, to train and test multilingual information extraction software, and more. WHAT NEXT? The JRC and collaborating services of the European Commission hope to release further large-scale linguistic resources in the future.

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)!

Parmi les thématiques de recherche actuelles, on trouve, par exemple,**la question de l'héritage de la structure argumentale verbale par les noms dits 'événementiels' (Grimshaw 1990, Alexiadou 2001, 2009), à l'origine de la distinction entre lecture d'événement et lecture résultative. L'héritage de la structure aspectuelle du verbe par la nominalisation correspondante a également fait l'objet de travaux (e.g. Haas, Huyghe & Marín 2008). Par ailleurs, la question de la validité de l'opposition perfectif / imperfectif a également été soulevée (Iordachioaia & Soare 2009 sur le roumain ; Ferret, Soare & Villoing 2010 et Knittel 2011 pour le français). Les noms d'états sont également au cœur des préoccupations des chercheurs. D'une part, la caractérisation des états dans le domaine nominal semble reposer majoritairement sur le fait qu'ils répondent négativement aux divers tests. Ceci soulève la question de savoir s'il existe des tests positifs de caractérisation des états ; en outre, doit-on considérer la classe des états comme uniforme, ou au contraire, en distinguer des sous-classes (Van de Velde 1995, Flaux & Van de Velde 2000, Alexiadou 2011, Fradin 2011), voire en établir une typologie ? Parallèlement à la question des états, les noms dits 'résultatifs' soulèvent le même problème de caractérisation négative. Bien qu'ils semblent avoir suscité une littérature beaucoup moins abondante (voir cependant Osswald 2005, Melloni 2007), ils provoquent cependant des questions du même type : Peut-on définir positivement un résultat, et si oui, comment ? La relation entre la lecture d'événement et la lecture de résultat d'un déverbal donné peut-elle être ramenée à un phénomène de polysémie (Godard & Jayez 1993) ? Est-il possible d'établir une typologie des résultats ? Sur quels critères ? Quelle relation la télicité entretient-elle avec la résultativité ? Un résultat peut-il conserver des caractéristiques événementielles ? Quelles sont les propriétés des états résultants, notamment par rapport aux états construits par nominalisation d'un verbe statif ? Outre la question des noms potentiellement événementiels, les autres noms déverbaux, tels que les noms d'agents, de patients, ou encore d'instruments, relèvent également de la thématique des nominalisations. A ce propos, les questions soulevées vont de la mise à jour des critères qui déterminent l'interprétation du nom construit (Namer & Villoing 2008) à l'implication d'une composante de niveau événementiel / phrastique dans la nominalisation (Roy & Soare 2010), laissant subsister un vaste champ d'exploration. Par ailleurs, le cadre défini par la thématique s'étend aux nominalisations adjectivales, pour lesquelles diverses questions ont d'ores et déjà été soulevées, parmi lesquelles celles de la relation entre prédicativité de l'adjectif et nominalisation (Fradin & Kerleroux 2003), de l'aspect des noms déadjectivaux (Beauseroy & Knittel 2007, Beauseroy 2009, Haas & Tayalati 2008), ou encore de leur caractère événementiel (Roy 2010). Orthogonalement aux questions ci-dessus, les communications relevant du domaine de la morphologique sont les bienvenues ; par exemple : Quelles sont les règles de construction impliquées dans les nominalisations ? Qu'est-ce qui motive le choix du procédé morphologique (affixation vs conversion) ? Quelle influence la règle / l'affixe a-t-il sur l'interprétation des noms déverbaux et déadjectivaux (Kerleroux 2008, Koehl 2009, Martin 2010) ? *Les études sur corpus peuvent-elles permettre de répondre aux questions posées ci-dessus, ou du moins contribuer à la meilleure compréhension de ces phénomènes ?* *Autrement dit, en quoi l'étude de corpus peut-elle nourrir la recherche sur la thématique des nominalisations, et de quelle manière ? Par exemple, quelles sont les propriétés visibles en corpus ? Les corpus permettent-ils de révéler de nouvelles propriétés ? Les propriétés distributionnelles confortent-elles les tests linguistiques utilisés pour catégoriser les nominalisations, et mettre en évidence leurs propriétés ? L'étude du contexte permet-elle d'élaborer d'autres tests ? A l'inverse, retrouve-t-on en corpus les patrons utilisés comme tests ? * *L'objectif de ce numéro spécial /Nominalisations et Corpus/ sera de faire progresser les connaissances de la communauté sur ces questions. * *Calendrier :* - *4 Mars 2013* : Les auteurs désireux de soumettre un article sont invités à envoyer un résumé de 2 pages, références comprises,de leur projet pour le 4/03/2013.

Les auteurs recevront une confirmation de réception./ *Call for papers *: At the crossroads of morphology, syntax and semantics, nominalizations are a federative research topic in linguistics. For example, the question of the inheritance of the argument structure of verbs by 'complex event nominals' (CEN, Grimshaw 1990), or 'argument structure nominals' (AS-Nominals, Alexiadou 2001, 2009), is a much discussed research topic. So is the question of the preservation of the aspectual properties of verbs by the corresponding nominalizations (e.g. Haas, Huyghe & Marín 2008). On the other hand, the existence of outer aspect (i.e. (im)perfectivity) in the nominal domain has also been discussed by researchers (Iordachioaia & Soare 2009 ; Ferret, Soare & Villoing 2010 ; Knittel 2011). The properties of stative nouns are also crucial. On the one hand, their characterization seems to rely mainly on their negative answering to the various current tests. This raises the issue of the existence of positive tests for stativity (Fábregas & Marín 2012). Another important question is to determine if the class of states is uniform, or if various types of nominal stativity do exist. (Van de Velde 1995, Flaux & Van de Velde 2000, Alexiadou 2011, Fradin 2011). Another class of nominalizations generally characterized negatively is that of resultatives. Even though they have been much less discussed than states (see however Osswald 2005, Melloni 2007), the questions they raise are of the same nature: Is it possible to put forward a positive description of results? Is the relationship between the event reading and the result reading a question of polysemy (Godard & Jayez 1993)? Is it possible to establish a typology of results, and on what criteria? Can a result keep eventive properties? What are the properties of result states, in particular with regards to nominalizations of stative verbs? Apart from potentially eventive nominals, other deverbal nouns, such as those referring to agents, patients, instruments a. o., can also be built up by nominalizing processes. With regards to this issue, questions range from the criteria determining the interpretation of the morphologically complex nouns (Namer & Villoing 2008) to the question of the presence of an event (or clausal) component in the nominalization (Roy & Soare 2010). Our preoccupations also extend to deadjectival nouns, for which issues such as the relationship between predicativity and nominalization (Fradin & Kerleroux 2003, Koehl 2012), aspect (Beauseroy & Knittel 2007, Beauseroy 2009, Haas & Tayalati 2008), number variation and its value (Beauseroy 2009, Beauseroy & Knittel 2011), or eventivity (Roy 2010, Marín 2010) have been raised. The morphology of deverbal / deadjectival nominals is also a current topic. Discussions dealing with e.g. the construction rules involved in nominalizations, the motivation determining the choice of morphological processes (e.g. affixation vs conversion), the influence of rules / affixes on the construal of deverbal and deadjectival nominals (Kerleroux 2008, Koehl 2009, 2012, Martin 2010), are also of current interest. *Can corpus studies help to provide answers to the above questions? Do they contribute to a better understanding of the phenomena described above? In what way can corpus studies feed in researches on nominalizations? For example: what are the properties visible in corpora? Can corpora help to disclose new properties? Do distributional properties support the linguistic tests used to categorize nominalizations and their properties? Can the study of contexts help to build up new tests? Can the patterns used as tests be found in corpora?****The objective of this issue of **/Verbum/**will be to provide answers to some of these questions. * *Important dates*: - *March 4th, 2013: Authors who want to submit an article are invited to send an abstract (2 pagesincluding references, in French or in English)describing their publication project for March 4h, 2013.The abstract should not be programmatic.

Les méthodes de RIS visent à s'affranchir de ces limites via le passage à un niveau conceptuel par le biais d'une ressource sémantique. L'exploitation des ressources sémantiques se limite généralement au niveau des concepts où les mots-clés sont substitués par les concepts et où le raisonnement se fait essentiellement sur les liens hiérarchiques entre ces concepts. Ces méthodes ne permettent pas de prendre en compte toute la richesse des ressources sémantiques qui ne sont considérées que comme des structures taxonomiques. Le stage vise à enrichir un modèle de recherche d'information sémantique pour prendre en compte les relations sémantiques entre concepts afin d'améliorer la qualité des documents retournés. De nombreux travaux dans le cadre du Web Sémantique ont montré l'utilité des relations sémantiques (i.e rôles) pour améliorer l'accès à l'information [1]. Les rôles permettent d'appliquer des moteurs d'inférences et de répondre à des requêtes complexes qui nécessitent du raisonnement [2]. Plusieurs pistes sont possibles, comme l'intégration de mesures de proximité sémantique (e.g. [2]), ou exploitation des relations sémantiques pour ré-ordonnancer les résultats. Le stage se déroulera au LIPN (http ://www-lipn.univ-paris13.fr/), Université Paris 13 dans l'équipe «Représentation des Connaissances et Langage Naturel» (RCLN). Ce stage est rémunéré grâce au soutien du laboratoire d'excellence "Empirical Foundations of Linguistics" (labex EFL, http://www.labex-efl.org/). Il fait partie d'un projet plus large visant à étudier la contribution de sources de connaissances pour l'extraction d'information, mené en commun entre le LIPN et le LATTICE dans le cadre du labex EFL. Missions Les différentes étapes du travail à réaliser sont les suivantes : * État de l'art * Propositions de différents scénarios * Intégration des propositions dans une plate-forme existante (YaSemIR ou TerrierSIR développées au LIPN) * Mise en place d'une évaluation * Analyse des résultats Références [1] Claudia d'Amato‚ Nicola Fanizzi‚ Bettina Fazzinga‚ Georg Gottlob and Thomas Lukasiewicz.

SIGIR 2013 will be held in Dublin, Ireland from 28 July - 1 August 2013. The Conference and Program Chairs invite all those working in areas related to IR to submit original short papers, and proposals for demonstrations. Note, that both short paper and demonstration submission guidelines have changed this year to allow more space for authors to present their ideas. Short Papers Short Paper submissions offer researchers an opportunity to present significant work in progress or research that is best communicated in an interactive or graphical format. Each submission that is accepted for SIGIR 2013 will be presented in a poster format, in order to provide researchers with an opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their work from a wide audience during the poster session. What makes a good short paper? Short papers are not full papers squeezed into four pages. They can present smaller or more speculative ideas, they could also be be more controversial, they may present new applications of old ideas or the reworking of previous studies. Finally, they should be inspirational and spark some discussion. Submissions are welcome in areas related to any aspect of Information Retrieval (IR), as identified in the call for contributions and on the SIGIR 2013 website. Submissions are short research papers presenting original, previously unpublished work. Submissions describing the work will be reviewed, and accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings. Short Paper Submission Content Guidelines Submissions of short papers must be in English, in PDF format and should not exceed 4 pages in SIGIR format (including references and figures). Suitable LaTeX and Word templates for SIGIR are available from the ACM Website (for LaTeX, use Option 2). Authors should conceal their identity. Submissions that are over the 4-page limit or are not anonymous or incomplete will be rejected without review. Note that summaries of full papers that have already been published elsewhere (including in another language) are not acceptable as short paper submissions for SIGIR. It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the PDF submission has been uploaded successfully. We suggest downloading the PDF after submission and ensuring it is ok. Submissions must be submitted electronically using the short paper track of the conference submission system (http://sigir2013-shortPaper.confmaster.net/). At least one author must register and attend the conference. Demonstrations Demonstrations present first-hand experience with research prototypes or operational systems. They provide opportunities to exchange ideas gained from implementing IR systems and to obtain feedback from expert users. Demonstration submissions are welcome in any of the areas related to any aspect of Information Retrieval (IR), as identified in the call for contributions and on the SIGIR 2013 website. The two-page demonstration submissions will appear in the conference proceedings. What makes a good demo? A good demonstration submission is interesting to a SIGIR audience and shows a novel solution to a problem. The demonstration submission should address the following questions. Who is your target user? Why does my system exist and why is it important? What does my demonstration do and how does it work? How does it compare with existing systems? Finally, how and when might my technology have an impact? Demonstration Submission Content Guidelines Submissions of demonstration papers must be in English and should not exceed 2 pages in SIGIR format (including references and figures). Suitable LaTeX and Word templates for SIGIR are available from the ACM Website (for LaTeX, use Option 2). It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the PDF submission has been uploaded successfully. We suggest downloading the PDF after submission and ensuring it is ok. Unlike short and full-paper submissions, authors of demonstration submissions are not expected to take measures to conceal their identity from reviewers. Submissions that are over the 2-page limit and incomplete submissions will be rejected without review. Demonstration papers must be submitted electronically via the demonstration track of the conference submission system (http://sigir2013-demo.confmaster.net/). At least one author must register and attend the conference. Wireless network access, along with a table and poster mount backdrop will be provided for accepted demonstrations. Important Dates - Short Paper and Demonstration submissions due: 18 February 2013. - Acceptance notification: 15 April 2013 - Conference in Dublin, Ireland, 28 July - 1 August 2013. Short Papers and Demos Co-Chairs - Udo Kruschwitz, University of Essex, United Kingdom - Cathal Gurrin, Dublin City University, Ireland.

Proposals are solicited for workshops to be held at ACM SIGIR 2013 being held in TCD, Dublin, Ireland. Workshops will usually last for one day and will be held on Thursday 1 August 2013. Workshop topics will typically match those identified in the SIGIR 2013 general call for participation, but proposals concerned with other areas of information retrieval are welcome. SIGIR 2013 workshops will provide a platform for presenting novel ideas and emerging areas in information retrieval in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conference itself. The format of each workshop is to be determined by the organizers, but it is expected that workshops will contain ample time for general discussion and engagement by all participants - not just those presenting papers. Workshops that foster collaboration, discussion, group problem-solving and community building initiatives are particularly encouraged. Workshops that only involve the presentation of papers in a “mini conference” format are particularly discouraged. Researchers and practitioners from all areas of the information retrieval community are invited to submit proposals for review. The organizers of approved workshops will be expected to define the workshop's focus, gather and review submissions, and decide upon final program content. Organizers (including co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire workshop and to provide an article for ACM SIGIR Forum summarizing the event. Submission Requirements Workshop proposals should include the following information: 1. Title, theme and purpose of the workshop. 2. Motivation for the workshop and appropriateness to SIGIR. 3. Planned activities and a tentative schedule of events. 4. Selection process for participants and/or presenters and maximum number of participants (if limited). 5. Names of Organisers 6. Names of potential program committee members (who would act to organise the proposed workshop) (if a program committee will be formed). If the workshop has been held previously at SIGIR or another conference, then the organizers should indicate this and describe briefly past attendance and outcomes, and why another workshop is needed. The submission should also include a short biographical sketch of each organizer, describing relevant qualifications and experience. Proposals should be submitted via the easy chair workshop submission webpage (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigirws2013) in pdf format and should not exceed 1000 words. (Note: The word count limit only applies to the information prescribed (1-4) above and not to Names of organisers or potential workshop programme committee members).

Nous présenterons les principes généraux qui permettent d'expliquer la production d'un son pour différentes familles d'instruments à vent (à anches, cuivres, flûtes/orgues). Un enjeu important est de comprendre et de quantifier les relations entre les paramètres fixés par le facteur d'instrument (géométrie, matériaux), les paramètres de contrôle ajustés en temps réel pendant le jeu par le musicien (pression, débit, caractéristiques des lèvres, du conduit vocal) et les paramètres du son produit (fréquence de jeu, timbre, descripteurs temporels). Un tour d'horizon des travaux récents ou en cours permettra de détailler certains outils expérimentaux ou numériques, développés pour progresser dans cette voie : bouche artificielle asservie, instruments instrumentés, continuation numérique.

In the context of a half-day lab at CLEF 2013, it offers two open challenges: Task 1: Multilingual question answering Task 2: Ontology lexicalization All relevant information about training and test phase as well as the lab can be found on the website: http://www.sc.cit-ec.uni-bielefeld.de/ild * Motivation & Scope * While more and more semantic data is published on the Web, the question of how typical Web users can access this body of knowledge becomes of crucial importance. Over the past years, there is a growing amount of research on interaction paradigms that allow end users to profit from the expressive power of Semantic Web standards while at the same time hiding their complexity behind an intuitive and easy-to-use interface. Especially natural language interfaces have received wide attention, as they allow users to express arbitrarily complex information needs in an intuitive fashion and, at least in principle, in their own language. The key challenge lies in translating the users' information needs into a form such that they can be evaluated using standard Semantic Web query processing and inferencing techniques. To this end, systems have to deal with a heterogeneous, distributed and very large set of highly interconnected data. The availability of such an amount of open and structured data has no precedents in computer science and approaches that can deal with the specific character of linked data are urgently needed. In addition, multilinguality has become an issue of major interest for the Semantic Web community, as both the number of actors creating and publishing data all in languages other than English, as well as the amount of users that access this data and speak native languages other than English is growing substantially. In order to achieve the goal that users from all countries have access to the same information, there is an impending need for systems that can help in overcoming language barriers by facilitating multilingual access to semantic data originally produced for a different culture and language. * Schedule * Release of training dataset and instructions: February 1, 2013 Release of test dataset: May 1, 2013 Submission deadline: May 31, 2013 Release of evaluation results: June 17, 2013 Deadline for workshop notes submission: August 1, 2013 Workshop: September, 2013 We cordially invite everyone working on question answering over linked data and/or ontology lexicalization to participate and look forward to an exciting, insightful and fair challenge!

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* March 15, 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.

Les deux laboratoires font partie du PRES Paris-Sciences Lettres qui finance ce stage. Le stage vise à analyser automatiquement ou semi-automatiquement le contenu textuel de documents traitant d'archéologie (rapports de fouille, mémoires, thèses,...) afin d'en extraire des informations pertinentes pour constituer des index "intelligents". Ces index serviront eux-mêmes à enrichir des applications de recherche d'information spécialisées, afin notamment de fournir un accès à partir de cartes géographiques (pour répondre par exemple à des requêtes telles que : "sur quels sites de la région tourangelle a-t-on trouvé des tuiles à rebord ?"). Le stage porte uniquement sur l'analyse textuelle des documents (et n'inclut donc pas les aspects liés au système d'information géographique). On s'intéressera particulièrement aux outils d'extraction d'information (extracteur de terminologie, analyseur d'entités nommées) et de structuration des connaissances (mise en place de liens entre termes, etc.). Les aspects pratiques seront privilégiés (mise en oeuvre des outils dans des environnements réels, évaluation de la facilité d'utilisation pour des non spécialistes, etc). Une collaboration étroite avec les interlocuteurs côté archéologie est indispensable. Un jeu de données sera fourni à l'étudiant par le laboratoire AOROC. On s'assurera au début du stage des objectifs et de la faisabilité des traitements en fonction du format du document fourni.

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. Submissions ----------- We welcome submissions of long (8 pages) and short (4 pages) papers, posters, and demonstrations, relating to any aspect of linguistic annotation, including: (a) Annotation procedures: * Innovative automated and manual strategies for annotation * Machine learning and knowledge-based methods for automation of corpus annotation * Creation, maintenance, and interactive exploration of annotation structures and annotated data (b) Annotation evaluation: * Inter-annotator agreement and other evaluation metrics and strategies * Qualitative evaluation of linguistic representation (c) Annotation access and use: * Representation formats/structures for merged annotations of different phenomena, and means to explore/manipulate them * Linguistic considerations for merging annotations of distinct phenomena (d) Annotation guidelines and standards: * Best practices for annotation procedures and/or development and documentation of annotation schemes * Interoperability of annotation formats and/or frameworks among different systems as well as different tasks, frameworks, modalities, and languages (e) Annotation software and frameworks: * Development, evaluation and/or innovative use of annotation software frameworks (f) Annotation schemes: * New and innovative annotation schemes * Comparison of annotation schemes 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: 26 April 2013, 23:59 GMT. Papers submitted after the deadline will not be reviewed.

La flexion interagit avec la syntaxe, l’allomorphie se situe à la frontière entre phonologie et morphologie, la formation des mots s’appuie sur la sémantique, pour ne prendre que quelques exemples. La flexion et la formation des mots sont également (re)liées. Le premier symposium international ‘La morphologie et ses interfaces’ se tiendra à l’université Lille 3 les 12 et 13 septembre 2013. Il a pour objectif de mettre en avant les questions liées aux interfaces internes et externes, dans une perspective synchronique ou diachronique. Intervenants invités: Geert Booij, Université de Leyde Greville Corbett, Université du Surrey Muriel Norde, Université de Groningue Nous appelons à la soumission de travaux (pour des présentations orales de 20 minutes suivies de 10 minutes de discussion(s)) liés à la question de l’interaction entre flexion et formation des mots, ou à la question de l’interface entre la morphologie et d’autres domaines de la linguistique, tels que (sans s’y limiter) : - la morphologie et la syntaxe - la morphologie et la sémantique - la morphologie et la phonologie - la morphologie et le lexique - la morphologie et la traduction - la morphologie et la pragmatique - la morphologie et le traitement des langues Les résumés seront déposés sur la plateforme EasyChair : https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mi2013 Les résumés devront être anonymes, d’une longueur comprise entre trois et quatre pages (y compris les exemples, les figures et les références bibliographiques).

Les invités et les auteurs des travaux retenus seront invités à soumettre une version avancée de leur papier après le symposium, pour publication dans un numéro spécial de revue. Dates à retenir: Premier appel : octobre 2012 Date limite de soumission des résumés : 1er mars 2013 Notification aux auteurs : 15 juin 2013 Programme: juillet 2013 Symposium :12-13 septembre 2013 Publication des actes : printemps 2014 ___________________________________________ 2nd Call for submissions : Morphology and its interfaces Nowadays morphology cannot be studied without considering its interfaces. For examples, inflection interacts with syntax, allomorphy lies at the crossroads of phonology and morphology, word formation deals with semantics, etc. Moreover, inflection and word formation interact as well. The first international symposium "Morphology and its interfaces", will be held at Université Lille 3, France, September 12-13, 2013. It aims at addressing questions related to morphology and its internal or external interfaces, from a diachronic or synchronic perspective. Invited speakers: Geert Booij, University of Leiden Greville Corbett, University of Surrey Muriel Norde, University of Groningen Authors are invited to submit papers (for an oral presentation of 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes for discussion) dealing with the interface between inflection and word formation as well as interactions between morphology and other domains of linguistics including (but no limited to): - morphology and syntax - morphology and semantics - morphology and phonology - morphology and the lexicon - morphology and translation - morphology and pragmatics - morphology and computer science and natural language processing Abstracts will be submitted through EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mi2013 Abstracts must be anonymous, three to four pages long, including examples, figures and references. Page format: A4, 12-point font, single line spacing. File submission format: .pdf. Submissions will be anonymously refereed by at least three reviewers. The conference languages are English and French. The invited speakers and authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper to a post-conference special issue of a journal.

Elles sont fondées sur le principe du calcul de la proximité sémantique entre mots sur la base des contextes qu’ils partagent dans un corpus donné. Ce principe a donné lieu à des expérimentations nombreuses, principalement sur l’anglais mais également sur d’autres langues, et des travaux de synthèse ont permis récemment de stabiliser les notions et les procédures relatives au calcul distributionnel (Sahlgren, 2006 ; Turney et Pantel, 2010 ; Baroni et Lenci 2010, etc.). Cette approche a bénéficié ces dernières années de la disponibilité de grandes masses de données textuelles et de capacités informatiques accrues pour les traiter, ce qui a permis d’exploiter ces méthodes à très grande échelle. De nombreux champs de recherche restent ouverts dans ce domaine concernant la construction, la validation et l’exploitation des ressources sémantiques générées par ces méthodes : Du point de vue de la construction des ressources, la question du corpus est centrale. S’éloignant des hypothèses harrissiennes initiales sur le traitement de corpus spécialisés, la tendance actuelle est à la constitution de corpus les plus volumineux possible. Se pose pourtant la question de la nature du corpus, et de son impact sur les résultats. Un deuxième sujet important est la modélisation de la compositionnalité sémantique dans ce cadre distributionnel, pour prendre en compte la combinaison des mots simples dans des unités plus grandes (Mitchell et Lapata, 2008 ; Baroni & Zamparelli, 2010 ; Grefenstette & Sadrzadeh, 2011). D’autres aspects méthodologiques sont également soulevés : l’optimisation des calculs, les types de contextes à considérer, l’articulation avec les analyses syntaxiques exploitées, etc. Du point de vue de l’interprétation, de l’évaluation et de la validation des relations, beaucoup reste à faire pour mieux comprendre la nature de la proximité sémantique qui est calculée par ces techniques et l’impact des paramètres distributionnels sur les relations de sens produites (Sahlgren 2006, Peirsman & Geeraerts 2009). Les relations entre mots s’avèrent en effet très diverses (relations lexicales classiques, relations associatives, relations d’analogie, etc.). Par ailleurs, la taille des ressources générées les rend difficiles à explorer et à appréhender. Des systèmes de visualisation et de manipulation graphiques adaptés à leur exploration peuvent permettre d’améliorer la connaissance de leur contenu et de leur structure. Concernant enfin l’exploitation des ressources distributionnelles, celles-ci fournissent un indice de proximité sémantique très précieux pour différentes applications (recherche d’information, résumé automatique, segmentation thématique, etc.). De fait des traits distributionnels sont incorporés dans un nombre croissant de travaux touchant différentes tâches du TAL (classification d’entités nommées, calcul de paraphrase, etc.) (Kotlerman et al. 2010 ; Jonnalagadda et al. 2012). La linguistique gagnerait également à s’approprier plus largement ces techniques, qui permettent d’étudier à large échelle les relations de sens qui opèrent dans un corpus. Nous attendons des soumissions portant sur l’ensemble des thèmes évoqués ci-dessus et en particulier (liste non exhaustive) : - construction de ressources distributionnelles - mesures de similarité sémantique - impact des corpus sur le traitement distributionnel - compositionnalité sémantique - utilisation de bases distributionnelles pour l’analyse linguistique - repérage de relations sémantiques spécifiques - exploitation de la proximité distributionnelle dans des tâches de TAL - optimisation du calcul de similarité sémantique - visualisation et manipulation graphique des espaces de mots 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 12 à 14 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 de 30 mn, discussion comprise.

Personnalités médiatiques bien connues, les frères Igor et Grichka Bogdanov nourrissent depuis une vingtaine d'années des ambitions scientifiques qui ont en plusieurs occasions suscité la réprobation de certains chercheurs et de la presse spécialisée, sans pour autant que cela n'altère leur popularité ou leur statut revendiqué de scientifiques brillants auprès du grand public. Dans ce séminaire, je présenterai quelques éléments de contexte visant à rappeler le fossé qui sépare la réalité académique de l'image publique, et évoquerai les difficultés qu'ont les scientifiques à se faire entendre face à des personnalités rompues à l'exercice médiatique, bénéficiant d'un certain nombre de soutiens, et capables au besoin d'invoquer la loi comme substitut au débat scientifique. Geneviève KOUBI Professeur de Droit public, Université Paris Vincennes Saint-Denis CERSA-CNRS UMR 7106 L'idée plus que le texte : le plagiat et l'autoplagiat. L'observation sur la multiplication des cas de ressemblance entre deux textes ou plus, entre deux études ou plus, entre deux démonstrations ou plus, qui laisse planer le doute quant à l'existence d'un plagiat, devient éprouvante. Les affaires dites de « plagiat » semblent acquérir une couverture médiatique de plus en plus ample sans pour autant connaître de solutions satisfaisantes. Cette mise en scène qui s'accapare des objets de publicité, livres, films, photographies, tableaux, etc., ne revient-elle pas à occulter d'autres sujets, ceux qui justement s'emparent de la réflexion, de l'analyse, des expériences, des études, de la pensée, de la recherche donc ? Les termes de copie, de récurrence, de répétition, d'intertextualité, de reproduction, de contrefaçon, les expressions de copier-coller ou de réutilisation d'un texte, de dérivé linguistique etc. exposent les captations, les appropriations par autrui de la substance de l'idée créatrice, de la pensée novatrice, de l'originalité de la réflexion, de l'indépendance d'esprit, de l'inventivité du raisonnement. Pourtant, il est une dimension substantielle sur laquelle tout reposerait : l'antériorité d'un texte, d'un discours, d'une étude, d'un argument, d'un dire sur les autres. L'antécédence d'une production, d'une publication ne peut systématiquement constituer une confirmation de la répétition constatée, du plagiat avéré. Or, pour que la notion de plagiat prenne sens, il apparaît nécessaire de repérer un « avant-texte » à partir duquel évaluer ressemblances et dissemblances, similitudes et différences. Ceci s'effectue au risque de situer hors de portée de l'analyse l'idée-force, la pensée-clef.

However, the majority of the available Web content is still unstructured or semi-structured. As a general trend, unstructured data seems to be growing faster than structured data. According to a 2011 IDC study, unstructured data will account for 90 percent of all data created in the next decade. As the main goal of the Web of Data is to stimulate the emergence of new dedicated applications giving the machines ability to process information, there is a strong need to extract as far as possible structured data from unstructured content available on the web. Furthermore, structured data sources provide entity to entity interconnections, resulting in a Web of Linked Entities spanning structured and unstructured data. According to this, there is also a strong emergent need to study how to associate non structured content (like textual documents) and structured content (like RDF triples) with information retrieval, extraction, integration and exploration existing techniques. The WoLE workshop series envisions a Web of Linked Entities (WoLE), which transparently connects the World Wide Web (WWW) and the Giant Global Graph (GGG) using methods from Information Retrieval (IR), Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Database Systems (DB) research communities. The previous edition of WoLE workshop have shown that different methods involved in specific research tasks of those communities (like co-reference detection in NLP or information extraction in IR) can provide different ways to improve the web of Linked Entities content and its relation with unstructured documents. According to this, the primary goal of WoLE is to confront propositions from IR, NLP and DB research communities describing how their specific methods can improve quality of the Web data, structure its documents and help to explore its content. OBJECTIVES AND TOPICS (but are not limited to): * Text and web mining * Pattern and semantic analysis of natural language, reading the web, learning by reading * Large-scale information extraction * Usage mining * Entity resolution and automatic discovery of entities * Frequent pattern analysis of entities and/or relationships * Entity linking, named entity disambiguation, cross-document co-reference resolution * Ontology representation of natural language text * Analysis of ontology models for natural language text * Learning and refinement of ontologies * Natural language taxonomies modeled to Semantic Web ontologies * Disambiguation with the support of knowledge bases * Multilingual information extraction * Use cases of entity recognition for Linked Data applications * Relationship extraction, slot filling * Impact of entity linking on information retrieval, semantic search, entity oriented search * Semantic relatedness and similarity using entities and relations SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION: We invite submissions of full papers (max. 8 pages) and short papers (max. 4 pages). All submissions will be reviewed by at least three program committee members, and will be assessed based on their novelty, technical quality, potential impact, and clarity of writing. The workshop proceedings will be published through the ACM Digital Library. Please, submit in PDF format to: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wole2013. Submissions must: - be written in English; - contain author names, affiliations, and email addresses; - use the ACM SIG Proceedings template with the font size no smaller than 9pt (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates); - be in PDF (make sure that the PDF can be viewed on any platform); - be formatted for the US Letter size; It is authors’ responsibility to ensure that their submission adhere strictly to the required format.

Descriptif : La production et la stabilisation de cellules microbiennes est un enjeu majeur pour de nombreuses bio-industries, représentant un marché de 144 milliards de dollars en 2010 et qui devrait atteindre 259 milliards de dollars en 2016. Les procédés employés sont très énergivores, et face au contexte énergétique actuel, des améliorations voire des alternatives doivent être envisagées. Au-delà de la question de l’énergie, c’est la durabilité du système qui est mise en question, intégrant la dimension d’épuisement des ressources (énergie, eau, matières premières) mais aussi l’impact sur l’environnement (e.g. réchauffement climatique) ou sur la santé humaine (e.g. production de composés toxiques). Cependant, l'amélioration de la durabilité du procédé ne peut pas se faire sans tenir compte des contraintes spécifiques aux bioproduits, qui sont très fragiles et subissent de fortes dégradations au cours des procédés. Les critères d'évaluation de la qualité du bioproduit au cours des différentes opérations sont liés à l'état physiologique des cellules et mesurables à différents niveaux d'échelle (génétique, moléculaire, cellulaire, population). L'intégration des différents critères (qualité du bioproduit, performance du procédé, impact environnemental) pour optimiser globalement le système est nécessaire pour développer des procédés plus durables tout en préservant la qualité des micro-organismes. L’objectif de ce stage est de constituer un corpus de connaissances et un thésaurus pour la représentation in silico globale d’un système de production et de stabilisation de cellules microbiennes intégrant les différentes étapes de production, les niveaux d’échelle nécessaires à la description de la fonctionnalité du produit, et, les entrées et sorties liées à l’impact environnemental, tout en prenant en compte la composante économique du système. Les étapes du travail seront les suivantes: 1. Extraction de connaissances issues de sources identifiées et du Web pour élaborer et enrichir le corpus de connaissances ; 2. Prise en compte du caractère multi-échelles du système dans la construction du corpus de connaissances ; 3. Construction d’un thésaurus permettant de représenter la connaissance du corpus de façon structurée et hiérarchique Lieu du stage: AgroParisTech (Paris ou Grignon), Durée : 6 mois Stage rémunéré Contacts : liliana.ibanescu at agroparistech.fr, caroline.penicaud at grignon.inra.fr, lydie.soler at paris.inra.fr, laurie.planes at agroparistech.fr ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue Feb 12 21:38:58 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2013 22:38:58 +0100 Subject: Appel: IC3K 2013, 5th International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management Message-ID: Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 18:57:25 -0000 From: "CalendarSites" Message-ID: <05a401ce0889$a2d08780$e8719680$@insticc.org> X-url: http://www.ic3k.org CALL FOR PAPERS 5th International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management – IC3K 2013 Website: http://www.ic3k.org September 19 - 22, 2013 Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal Important Deadlines: Regular Papers Paper Submission: March 12, 2013 Authors Notification: May 13, 2013 Final Paper Submission and Registration: June 4, 2013 Sponsored by: INSTICC-Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication INSTICC is Member of: FIPA – Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents WfMC - Workflow Management Coaliton OMG - Object Management Group The purpose of the IC3K is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners on the areas of Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management.

Papers will be presented in plenary or topic oriented sessions.One day of the conference will be dedicated to tutorials and workshops. Social events including a trip in the vicinity of Pilsen will allow additional informal interactions. Details about the social event will be available on the web page. SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Authors are invited to submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages formatted in the LNCS style (see below). Those accepted will be presented either orally or as posters. The decision on the presentation format will be based upon the recommendation of three independent reviewers. The authors are asked to submit their papers using the on-line submission form accessible from the conference web site. Papers submitted to TSD 2013 must not be under review by any other conference or publication during the TSD review cycle, and must not be previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere. As the reviewing is blind, the paper should not include authors' name and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations, such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Papers that do not conform to the requirements above are determined to be rejected without review. The authors are strongly encouraged to write their papers in TeX (plain) or LaTeX formats. These formats are necessary for the final versions of the papers that will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes. Authors using a MS Word-compatible software for the final version must use the LNCS template for MS Word and within the submit process ask the Proceedings Editors to convert the paper to the LaTeX format. For this service a service-and-license fee of CZK 1500 will be levied automatically. The paper format for the review has to be either the PDF or PostScript file with all required fonts included. Upon notification of acceptance, speakers will receive further information on submitting their camera-ready and electronic sources (for detailed instructions on the final paper format see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). Authors are also invited to present actual projects, a developed software or interesting materials relevant to the topics of the conference. Speakers who have prepared a demonstration should provide an abstract not exceeding one page. The demonstration abstracts will not appear in the conference proceedings.

LOCATION The city of Plzen (Pilsen) is situated in Western Bohemia at the confluence of four rivers. With its 170,000 inhabitants it is the fourth largest city in the Czech Republic and an important industrial, commercial, and administrative centre. It is also the capital of the Pilsen Region. In addition, it has been selected as the European capital of culture for 2015 by the Council of the European Union. Pilsen is well-known for its brewing tradition. The trademark Pilsner-Urquell has a good reputation all over the world thanks to the traditional recipe, high quality hops and good groundwater. Beer lovers will also appreciate a visit to the Brewery Museum or the Brewery itself. Apart from its delicious beer, Pilsen hides lots of treasures in its core. The city can boast the second largest synagogue in Europe. The dominant of the old part of the city center is definitely the 13th-century Gothic cathedral featuring the highest tower in Bohemia (102.34 m). It is possible to go up and admire the view of the city. Not far from the cathedral is the splendid Renaissance Town Hall from 1558 and plenty of pleasant cafes and pubs are situated on and around the main square. There is also the beautiful Pilsen Historical Underground - under the city center, a complex network of passageways and cellars can be found. They are about 14 km long and visitors can see the most beautiful part of this labyrinth during the tour. It is recommended to visit the City Zoological Garden, having the second largest space for bears in Europe and keeping several Komodo dragons, large lizards which exist only in a few zoos in the world. The University of West Bohemia in Pilsen provides a variety of courses for both Czech and international students. It is the only institution of higher education in this part of the country which prepares students for careers in engineering (electrical and mechanical), science (computer science, applied mathematics, physics, and mechanics), education (both primary and secondary), economics, philosophy, politics, archeology, anthropology, foreign languages, law and public administration, art and design. GETTING THERE The city has access from the D5 motorway connecting Prague (Praha) with Germany. Pilsen has very good bus and train connections with the capital of Prague (it takes about 1 - 1.5 hour to get from Prague to Pilsen). >From Vaclav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) you can reach Pilsen by frequent public transport in 1.5 - 2 hours. ACCOMMODATION The organising committee has arranged accommodation for reasonable prices in the angelo Hotel Pilsen, which is situated in the city center in walking distance from the main railway station and opposite to the historical entrance of the Pilsner Urquell Brewery. There are a lot of restaurants in hotel neighbourhood offering specialities of national and foreign cuisine. Student halls of residence will be also available at the time of conference.

(2004), comme «the process by which two (or more) participants establish, maintain and end their perceived connection during interactions they jointly undertake» (le processus par lequel deux (ou plusieurs) des participants établissent, maintiennent et mettent fin à leur connexion perçue au cours des interactions qu'ils entreprennent conjointement). Ainsi, pour montrer l'engagement, un agent virtuel doit être doté de mécanismes qui lui permettent de percevoir, d'adapter et de générer des comportements appropriés au cours d'une interaction sociale donnée. L’engagement englobe plusieurs phénomènes complexes tels que la notion d’alignement, les liens sociaux, et l'empathie. Il peut être considéré comme une mesure quantitative de la façon dont l'interaction se passe, se situe entre les êtres humains ou entre l'homme et la machine. Il peut se manifester à travers un large spectre d'actes intentionnels allant des stratégies de dialogue au mimétisme du comportement (par exemple sourire). Le stage visera à développer un modèle d’engagement entre humain et agent virtuel. Elle se focalisera en particulier à donner aux agents la capacité d’imiter les comportements de son interlocuteur humain, de répondre à ses signaux sociaux (Vinciarelli et al, à paraître) et d’en envoyer. Le mimétisme peut avoir lieu avec un bas niveau de conscience. Il peut être défini comme la tendance à l'imitation des comportements lors de l'interaction. Il s’applique surtout pour l'expression du visage, la qualité vocale et la posture du corps (Hess et al, 1999). Alors que le mimétisme implique la notion de comportement synchrone, la fenêtre de temps de cette synchronicité doit être prudemment définie. Par exemple, la plupart des imitations du sourire comme celles des gestes se superposent dans le temps (Kimbara, 2006) ; de même l’alignement lexical peut être vu sur plusieurs tours de parole. Le stage se focalisera sur l’imitation d’une des modalités d’expressions.

Merci de consulter l'offre rédigée ci-après et, le cas échéant de postuler par retour de mail ou sur le site de l'ABG à l'adresse suivante : http://www.intelliagence.fr/Page/Offer/ShowOffer.aspx?OfferId=46980.

L’analyse sémantique consiste à transformer un énoncé dans une interprétation (catégorie sémantique) pour permettre au système de dialogue de poursuivre ses calculs. L’analyseur sémantique de Disserto s’appuie sur une approche à base de règles. Le traitement s’effectue en deux étapes : étiqueter les mots en « tags », puis appliquer les règles sémantiques appropriées aux tags, de telle manière qu’une combinaison ou association donnée de tags fournisse une interprétation correcte. Ce principe d’analyse sémantique à base de règles d’étiquetage et d’association peut être utilisé dans n’importe quelle langue. Cependant, cette méthode est manuelle et nécessite l’intervention d’un développeur (knowledge engineer). Ce dernier va analyser un corpus de phrases issues d’interactions de différents utilisateurs avec le service de dialogue, afin d’élaborer les règles d’analyse sémantiques les plus pertinentes. Les phrases contenues dans ce type de corpus peuvent être : - non annotées (par exemple lorsqu’elles sont issues des logs d’un service en exploitation) - annotées manuellement par un opérateur : par exemple dans le cas de service mettant en œuvre des fonctions de magicien d’Oz sur la reconnaissance vocale (on parle alors de Reconnaissance Vocal Assistée par Opérateur) ou sur l’analyse sémantique (illustrée dans l’application DissertOz). Le rôle du post-doctorant sera de développer de nouveaux algorithmes et de fournir les outils associés qui permettent de faciliter et d’optimiser le travail du développeur lors de l’élaboration des règles d’analyse sémantique de Disserto. Les travaux du post-doctorant seront menés sur 2 champs : - la sélection automatique des phrases les plus pertinentes à prendre en compte pour la définition des nouvelles règles d’analyse sémantique: phrases avec de nouveaux mots, tags, règles ou interprétations. - l’étude des énoncés conduisant à une interprétation erronée de l’analyseur de manière à identifier des termes communs, à donner des explications de l’erreur et à détecter les énoncés « poubelle » à rejeter (trash). Ce sujet est la suite d’un travail accompli par l’université de Poznań en 2011 et 2012 dans le cadre d’un contrat de recherche externe sous la direction d’Orange. TACHES : Prendre en main les algorithmes développés par l’université de Poznań et les améliorer : - Calcul de score de confiance de la classification de l’analyseur sémantique pour un énoncé donné - Identification de règles d’association liant les formes des énoncés aux erreurs de classification de l’analyseur sémantique - Détection des énoncés poubelle Sur la base de corpus non-annotés de taille gigantesque (plusieurs millions d’énoncés) et de corpus annotés de taille réduite (plusieurs milliers d’énoncés), définir un algorithme d’apprentissage actif permettant : - de repérer les « trous » d’annotation, c'est-à-dire les formes d’énoncés fréquentes du corpus non-annotés qui ne sont pas, ou peu, représenté dans le corpus annoté - de prédire les énoncés les plus pertinents pour être annotés, sur la base du calcul de score de confiance en l’analyseur sémantique - de sélectionner l’ensemble optimal de n énoncés à annoter, en évitant les redondances et en contrôlant que les informations apportées par ces annotations se complètent. Rédiger un rapport d’étude sur les méthodes et algorithmes développés lors de cette étude et sur leur évaluation.

Il s'agit à ce jour d'un outil très modulaire capable de faire l'analyse (tokenisation, analyse morphologique, syntaxique et sémantique) de textes dans des langues aussi diverses que le Français, l'Anglais, l'Arabe, le Chinois, l'Espagnol, l'Allemand ou encore l'Italien. LIMA représente à ce jour plus de 100.000 lignes de code (sans compter les ressources linguistiques). LIMA est déjà utilisé dans plusieurs produits industriels, mais le CEA LIST a décidé de le diffuser sous une licence libre pour faciliter son utilisation, sa diffusion et obtenir des retours plus rapides d'une communauté d'utilisateurs plus large. LIMA est codé en C++ standard. Il utilise largement les biliothèques boost et Qt. Il est multi-plateformes (GNU/Linux et MS Windows à ce jour). Son architecture le rend très facilement extensible et intégrable dans des applications. Objectifs Cette libération, qui se fait dans le cadre du projet ANR ASFALDA [2], nécessite d'améliorer encore le logiciel avant de le diffuser, et ce sur plusieurs aspects: - documentation des API ; - documentation utilisateur ; - tests unitaires ; - tests fonctionnels. LIMA dépend de ressources linguistiques pour fonctionner (dictionnaires, règles d'analyse,...). Même si le laboratoire est propriétaire de certaines d'entre elles, d'autres sont issues de ressources commerciales et ne peuvent être diffusées librement. Il faudra donc produire des ressources de remplacement à partir de ressources linguistiques libres disponibles. Le travail du stagiaire consistera à intervenir sur ces différents sujets (codage, documentation et ressources) en vue de la mise à disposition de LIMA sur une forge logicielle à la fin du stage. Le ou la candidat(e) retenu(e) aura un bon niveau en C++, une compréhension des problématiques liées à la diffusion des logiciels (tests, documentation...) et idéalement aura participé à un projet de logiciel libre. Le stage se déroulera dans les locaux du LVIC situés à Nano-INNOV à Palaiseau (près de Polytechnique, Sup'Optique, Thales et Danone).

SIGIR 2013 will be held in Dublin, Ireland from 28 July - 1 August 2013. The Conference and Program Chairs invite all those working in areas related to IR to submit original short papers, and proposals for demonstrations. Note, that both short paper and demonstration submission guidelines have changed this year to allow more space for authors to present their ideas. Short Papers Short Paper submissions offer researchers an opportunity to present significant work in progress or research that is best communicated in an interactive or graphical format. Each submission that is accepted for SIGIR 2013 will be presented in a poster format, in order to provide researchers with an opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their work from a wide audience during the poster session. What makes a good short paper? Short papers are not full papers squeezed into four pages. They can present smaller or more speculative ideas, they could also be be more controversial, they may present new applications of old ideas or the reworking of previous studies. Finally, they should be inspirational and spark some discussion. Submissions are welcome in areas related to any aspect of Information Retrieval (IR), as identified in the call for contributions and on the SIGIR 2013 website. Submissions are short research papers presenting original, previously unpublished work. Submissions describing the work will be reviewed, and accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings. Short Paper Submission Content Guidelines Submissions of short papers must be in English, in PDF format and should not exceed 4 pages in SIGIR format (including references and figures). Suitable LaTeX and Word templates for SIGIR are available from the ACM Website (for LaTeX, use Option 2). Authors should conceal their identity. Submissions that are over the 4-page limit or are not anonymous or incomplete will be rejected without review. Note that summaries of full papers that have already been published elsewhere (including in another language) are not acceptable as short paper submissions for SIGIR. It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the PDF submission has been uploaded successfully. We suggest downloading the PDF after submission and ensuring it is ok. Submissions must be submitted electronically using the short paper track of the conference submission system (http://sigir2013-shortPaper.confmaster.net/). At least one author must register and attend the conference. Demonstrations Demonstrations present first-hand experience with research prototypes or operational systems. They provide opportunities to exchange ideas gained from implementing IR systems and to obtain feedback from expert users. Demonstration submissions are welcome in any of the areas related to any aspect of Information Retrieval (IR), as identified in the call for contributions and on the SIGIR 2013 website. The two-page demonstration submissions will appear in the conference proceedings. What makes a good demo? A good demonstration submission is interesting to a SIGIR audience and shows a novel solution to a problem. The demonstration submission should address the following questions. Who is your target user? Why does my system exist and why is it important? What does my demonstration do and how does it work? How does it compare with existing systems? Finally, how and when might my technology have an impact? Demonstration Submission Content Guidelines Submissions of demonstration papers must be in English and should not exceed 2 pages in SIGIR format (including references and figures). Suitable LaTeX and Word templates for SIGIR are available from the ACM Website (for LaTeX, use Option 2). It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the PDF submission has been uploaded successfully. We suggest downloading the PDF after submission and ensuring it is ok. Unlike short and full-paper submissions, authors of demonstration submissions are not expected to take measures to conceal their identity from reviewers. Submissions that are over the 2-page limit and incomplete submissions will be rejected without review. Demonstration papers must be submitted electronically via the demonstration track of the conference submission system (http://sigir2013-demo.confmaster.net/). At least one author must register and attend the conference. Wireless network access, along with a table and poster mount backdrop will be provided for accepted demonstrations. Important Dates - Short Paper and Demonstration submissions due: 18 February 2013. - Acceptance notification: 15 April 2013 - Conference in Dublin, Ireland, 28 July - 1 August 2013.

Proposals are solicited for workshops to be held at ACM SIGIR 2013 being held in TCD, Dublin, Ireland. Workshops will usually last for one day and will be held on Thursday 1 August 2013. Workshop topics will typically match those identified in the SIGIR 2013 general call for participation, but proposals concerned with other areas of information retrieval are welcome. SIGIR 2013 workshops will provide a platform for presenting novel ideas and emerging areas in information retrieval in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conference itself. The format of each workshop is to be determined by the organizers, but it is expected that workshops will contain ample time for general discussion and engagement by all participants - not just those presenting papers. Workshops that foster collaboration, discussion, group problem-solving and community building initiatives are particularly encouraged. Workshops that only involve the presentation of papers in a “mini conference” format are particularly discouraged. Researchers and practitioners from all areas of the information retrieval community are invited to submit proposals for review. The organizers of approved workshops will be expected to define the workshop's focus, gather and review submissions, and decide upon final program content. Organizers (including co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire workshop and to provide an article for ACM SIGIR Forum summarizing the event. Submission Requirements Workshop proposals should include the following information: 1. Title, theme and purpose of the workshop. 2. Motivation for the workshop and appropriateness to SIGIR. 3. Planned activities and a tentative schedule of events. 4. Selection process for participants and/or presenters and maximum number of participants (if limited). 5. Names of Organisers 6. Names of potential program committee members (who would act to organise the proposed workshop) (if a program committee will be formed). If the workshop has been held previously at SIGIR or another conference, then the organizers should indicate this and describe briefly past attendance and outcomes, and why another workshop is needed. The submission should also include a short biographical sketch of each organizer, describing relevant qualifications and experience. Proposals should be submitted via the easy chair workshop submission webpage in pdf format and should not exceed 1000 words. (Note: The word count limit only applies to the information prescribed (1-4) above and not to Names of organisers or potential workshop programme committee members).

Les langues régionales sont généralement à ranger dans cette catégorie, car les ressources électroniques pour ces langues sont rares, peu visibles et sous exploitées, parfois inexistantes. Doter ces langues de ressources électroniques (notamment de corpus écrits, de lexiques et de dictionnaires) est un enjeu considérable pour leur diffusion, leur enseignement, leur sauvegarde, leur normalisation... Il est, entre autres, nécessaire de développer des corpus écrits, les plus représentatifs possibles des usages de la langue, en rassemblant des œuvres écrites de différents genres (littérature, théâtre, poésie, conte, presse...) et, pour certaines langues, en accueillant la variation (dialectale, phonologique, graphique). La seconde étape consiste logiquement à enrichir ces corpus d’annotations. L'élaboration des corpus annotés pour les langues régionales soulève de nombreuses questions méthodologiques. Il n'est notamment pas toujours possible de transposer directement les modèles existants pour les langues très dotées, notamment en raison des variations dialectales et phonologiques et du manque de standardisation graphique. Les corpus sont également une base nécessaire pour l'élaboration des dictionnaires, lexiques et glossaires. Sur le plan linguistique, les corpus sont nécessaires pour la description des usages réels d'une langue. Et en contre-partie, sur le plan technique, les dictionnaires et les lexiques sont nécessaires pour accompagner l’élaboration des corpus (reconnaissance optique de caractères, lemmatisation et analyse morpho-syntaxique). Lorsque ces ressources existent déjà pour une langue (dictionnaires, lexiques, glossaires bilingues couplant une langue régionale et une langue nationale), il se pose la question de la mutualisation des informations contenues dans ces ressources, de l'enrichissement de ses données avec des informations supplémentaires (phonétiques, morpho-syntaxiques, syntaxiques…) et de leur utilisation dans des outils de TAL. Corpus et lexiques sont enfin nécessaires pour le développement d'outils de traitement automatique des langues (analyse morpho-syntaxique, syntaxique…). Au-delà des difficultés techniques et méthodologiques, il ne faut pas négliger les difficultés plus pragmatiques liées au manque de ressources financières et humaines pour mener à bien la constitution de ressources. Cet atelier a pour but de réunir des chercheurs qui participent à la constitution de ressources linguistiques et d'outils "de base" du TAL pour les langues régionales de France et d’Europe afin de partager nos questionnements et nos méthodologies, de mutualiser nos réflexions et les techniques développées. Nous appelons à la soumission de travaux de recherche autour de la constitution de ressources et d'outils pour des langues régionales ou minoritaires de France et d’Europe (y compris les langues d’Outre Mer), sur les thématiques suivantes (sans s’y limiter): v Ressources : · Constitution de corpus écrits · Elaboration de lexiques, dictionnaires, glossaires v Outils : · Outils pour la numérisation, l’océrisation et le codage des textes · Annotations linguistiques (manuelle et automatique pour analyses morpho-syntaxiques, syntaxiques…) · Interface et outils de recherche sur corpus v Articulation entre théorie et pratique autour des questions de la variation *CALENDRIER* - Date limite de soumission : 29 mars 2013 - Notification aux auteurs : 19 avril 2013 - Date limite de soumission des versions définitives : 3 mai 2013 *SOUMISSION DES ARTICLES* 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 12 à 14 pages.

Regional languages generally fall into this category, as electronic resources for these languages are rare and sometimes non-existent. Providing electronic resources for these languages (including written corpora, lexicons and dictionaries) is a major asset for supporting their dissemination, teaching, preservation or standardization. It is, among others, necessary to develop written corpora, which are the most representative of language use, by collecting written works of various genres (literature, theater, poetry, storytelling, press ...) and, for some languages, by taking variation into account (dialectal, phonological or graphical variations). The second step is logically to enrich the corpora with annotations. The development of annotated corpora for regional languages raises many methodological issues. It is not always possible to directly transpose existing models for resource-rich languages, partly because of dialectal and phonological variation and the lack of writing standards. The corpora are also a basis for the development of dictionaries, lexicons and glossaries and are necessary for the description of the actual use of a language. On the other hand, dictionaries and lexicons are needed to support the development of the corpora (optical character recognition, lemmatization and morpho-syntactic analysis). When these resources already exist for a language (dictionaries, lexicons, bilingual glossaries coupling a regional and a national language), the question arises as to how information contained in these resources can be shared and possibly be enriched with additional annotations (phonetic, morphosyntactic, syntactic, ...). Finally, corpora and lexicons are necessary for the development of natural language processing tools (morpho-syntactic analysis or syntactic analyzers ...). Beyond the technical and methodological challenges, the more pragmatic difficulties related to the lack of financial and human resources to carry out the creation of resources should not be neglected. This workshop aims to bring together researchers involved in the creation of language resources and "basic" NLP tools for French and European regional languages, in order to share their views, methodologies and techniques. We invite submission of papers on the constitution of resources and tools for regional or minority languages of France and Europe (including languages from overseas departments and territories of France). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: v Resources: · Written corpus builing · Development of lexicons, dictionaries, glossaries v Tools : · Scanning, OCR and text encoding · Linguistic annotations (manual and automatic for morpho-syntactic or syntactic analysis,...) · Corpus management and query v Articulation between theory and practice when dealing with variation** *IMPORTANT DATES* - Paper submission deadline: March 29, 2013 - Notification of paper acceptance : April 19, 2013 - Deadline for camera-ready versions: May 3, 2013 *PAPER SUBMISSION* Papers will be written in French for French-speaking authors or English for non-French-speaking authors. They should have from 12 to 14 pages in the TALN 2013 format. A LaTeX style file and a MS Word template are available on the conference website (http://www.taln2013.org/soumettre/). Selected articles will be allocated 30 minutes for the oral presentation (including discussion). Authors should submit the papers in PDF through the submission page at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=talare2013** *SELECTION CRITERIA* The selection criteria will be the same as those that apply for TALN 2013 research articles. *ORGANIZING COMMITTEE* Marianne Vergez-Couret CLLE-ERSS, Université de Toulouse 2 Delphine Bernhard LILPA, Université de Strasbourg Jean-Michel Eloy LESCLAP, Université de Picardie Christophe Rey LESCLAP, Université de Picardie *PROGRAM COMMITTEE (in progress)* *Contact* : Marianne Vergez-Couret (vergez at univ-tlse2.fr) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Feb 16 20:01:08 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2013 21:01:08 +0100 Subject: Ressources: ELRA - Language Resources Catalogue - Update Message-ID: Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2013 10:45:27 +0100 From: ELRA ELDA Information Message-ID: <511CB237.1020004 at elda.org> X-url: http://catalog.elra.info/product_info.php?products_id=1194&language=en X-url: http://catalog.elra.info/product_info.php?products_id=1195&language=en Our apologies if you have received multiple copies of this announcement. ***************************************************************** ELRA - Language Resources Catalogue - Update ***************************************************************** ELRA is happy to announce that QUAERO Structured Named Entity Language Resources are now available in its catalogue.

Cependant, et en dépit des bons résultats obtenus, ces corpus demeurent des ressources rares, notamment pour les domaines spécialisés et pour des couples de langues ne faisant pas intervenir l’anglais. Pour ces différentes raisons, les recherches en extraction de lexiques bilingues se sont penchées sur une autre sorte de corpus bilingue composé de documents partageant différentes caractéristiques telles que le domaine, le genre, la période... sans être en correspondance de traduction (Bowker & Pearson, 2002) : les corpus comparables. Si les corpus comparables sont des ressources bien plus abondantes que les corpus parallèles, les lexiques bilingues extraits à partir de corpus comparables sont d’une qualité bien inférieure à ce qui peut être obtenu à partir de corpus parallèles. Cette différence s’explique principalement par l’absence d’élément d’ancrage dans les corpus comparables (l’alignement préalable de paragraphes, de cognats… n’est pas possible avec ce type de corpus). Pour pallier cette difficulté plusieurs stratégies se dégagent actuellement : 1. Améliorer la qualité des corpus comparables en termes de comparabilité pour améliorer la qualité des lexiques extraits (Sharoff, 2007) (Gœuriot, Grabar, & Daille, 2008), (Li & Gaussier, 2010). 2. Agir sur les méthodes d’extraction de lexiques bilingues à partir de corpus comparables (Fung & McKeown, 1997) (Rapp, 1999) (Chiao & Zweigenbaum, 2002) (Déjean, Gaussier, & Sadat, 2002) (Morin E. , Daille, Takeuchi, & Kageura, 2007) (Laroche & Langlais, 2010) (Prochasson & Fung, 2011) 3. Améliorer la qualité des résultats proposés par les techniques d’extraction de lexiques bilingues en tenant compte de leur contexte d’utilisation (Delpech, 2011). Dans le cadre de cette présentation, nous reviendrons sur chacune de ces stratégies pour présenter les dernières avancées et les prochains défis à relever. Bibliographie Bowker, L., & Pearson, J.

A tutorial on sentic computing will be delivered at the IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Agents (this April in Singapore), the World Wide Web conference (this May in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil), and the IADIS International Conference WWW/INTERNET (this October in Fort Worth, Texas). For more information, please visit the respective conference websites. AIMS AND SCOPE The focus of the tutorial is sentic computing [1], a multi-disciplinary approach to sentiment analysis at the crossroads between affective computing and common sense computing, which exploits both computer and social sciences to better recognise, interpret, and process opinions and sentiments over the Web. The main aim of the tutorial is to discuss ways to further develop and apply publicly available [2] sentic computing resources for the development of applications in fields such as big social data analysis [3], human-computer interaction [4], and e-health [5]. To this end, the tutorial will provide means to efficiently handle sentic computing models, e.g., the Hourglass of Emotions [6], techniques, e.g., sentic activation [7], tools, e.g., SenticNet [8] and IsaCore [9], and services, e.g., Sentic API [10]. The tutorial will also include insights resulting from the forthcoming IEEE Intelligent System Special Issue on Concept-Level Opinion and Sentiment Analysis [11] and a hands-on session to illustrate how to build a sentic-computing-based opinion mining engine step-by-step.

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 Social 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. Mining opinions and sentiments from natural language, however, is an extremely difficult task as it involves a deep understanding of most of the explicit and implicit, regular and irregular, syntactical and semantic rules proper of a language. Existing approaches mainly rely on parts of text in which opinions and sentiments are explicitly expressed such as polarity terms, 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 sentic computing, whose term derives from the Latin sentire (root of words such as sentiment and sentience) and sensus (intended both as capability of feeling and as common sense), the analysis of natural language is based on affective ontologies and common sense reasoning tools, which enable the analysis of text not only at document-, page- or paragraph-level, but also at sentence-, clause-, and concept-level. In particular, sentic computing involves the use of AI and Semantic Web techniques, for knowledge representation and inference; mathematics, for carrying out tasks such as graph mining and multi-dimensionality reduction; linguistics, for discourse analysis and pragmatics; psychology, for cognitive and affective modeling; sociology, for understanding social network dynamics and social influence; finally ethics, for understanding related issues about the nature of mind and the creation of emotional machines. TUTORIAL PROGRAM I) Introduction II) New Avenues in Sentiment Analysis Research - From Heuristics to Discourse Structure - From Coarse- to Fine-Grained Analysis - From Keywords to Concepts III) Sentic Computing Models - The Hourglass of Emotions - AffectiveSpace IV) Sentic Computing Techniques - Sentic Medoids - Sentic Activation - Sentic Panalogy V) Sentic Computing Tools - SenticNet - IsaCore - Sentic Neurons VI) Building a Sentic Engine - Sentic Parser - Sentic API - Application Samples VII) Conclusion TARGET AUDIENCE AND PREREQUISITES The target audience includes researchers and professionals in the fields of sentiment analysis, Web data mining, and related areas. The tutorial also aims to attract researchers from industry community as it covers research efforts for the development of applications in fields such as commerce, tourism, education, and health. We expect the audience to have basic computer science skills, but psychologists and sociologists are also very welcome. Participants will learn not only state-of-the-art approaches to concept-level sentiment analysis, but also sentic computing techniques and tools to be used for practical opinion mining.

Cette neuvième édition portera sur l'analyse automatique des recettes de cuisine en langue française. Site Web : http://deft.limsi.fr/2013/ Comité d'organisation : - présidents : Cyril Grouin (LIMSI-CNRS) et Dominic Forest (EBSI, Université de Montréal) - contact : deft at limsi.fr Nous abordons cette année un nouveau domaine d'application sur une thématique à la mode en ce moment, qui a déjà fait par le passé l'objet d'une campagne d'évaluation (Computer Cooking Contest) : les recettes de cuisine. Nous nous intéressons dans DEFT2013 à deux types de fonction d'analyse du langage, la classification de documents (tâches 1 à 3) et l'extraction d'information (tâche 4), ceci dans un domaine de spécialité. Pour cette nouvelle édition du défi, nous proposons quatre tâches d'analyse concernant les recettes de cuisine : - Identifier à partir du titre et du texte de la recette son niveau de difficulté sur une échelle à 4 niveaux : très facile, facile, moyennement difficile, difficile. - Identifier à partir du titre et du texte de la recette le type de plat préparé : entrée, plat principal, dessert. - Apparier le texte d'une recette à son titre. - Extraire du titre et du texte d'une recette la liste de ses ingrédients. DATES IMPORTANTES (calendrier prévisionnel) ------------------------------------------- - inscription : 15 février 2013 - diffusion des corpus d'apprentissage : 25 février 2013 - phase de test : 3 jours à choisir pendant la semaine du 22 au 28 avril 2013 - atelier de clôture : 21 juin 2013 pendant TALN/RECITAL 2013. PRÉSENTATION ------------ === Tâche 1 - Niveau de difficulté de réalisation d'une recette La tâche 1 a pour but d'évaluer la capacité d'un algorithme à inférer la difficulté d'une recette de cuisine en se basant sur toutes les informations qu'il est possible d'extraire à partir du texte de la recette et de son titre. Les données d'apprentissage seront constituées d'un corpus de recettes associées à leur appréciation de difficulté sur une échelle à 4 valeurs : - très facile, - facile, - moyennement difficile, - très difficile. La mesure d'évaluation sera calculée à partir de la distance entre la réponse du système et la bonne réponse. === Tâche 2 - Type de plat La tâche 2 propose de classer les recettes en fonction du type de plat préparé, selon une partition en trois classes : - entrée, - plat principal, - dessert. Les sources d'information à considérer seront le titre et le texte de la recette. La mesure d'évaluation sera calculée comme la moyenne des précisions par classe, chacune calculée avec une micro-moyenne. === Tâche 3 - Appariement titre/recette La tâche 3 demandera au système de retrouver pour chaque texte de recette du corpus à traiter, son titre original dans une liste de titres de recettes. Pour chaque texte de recette, le système devra fournir une liste de titres par ordre de pertinence décroissante. La mesure d'évaluation sera basée sur un calcul de Mean Average Precision (MAP) ou de Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR). Notez que l'emploi de mesures annexes (non prises en compte pour le classement final) sera exploré afin de prendre en compte de similarité textuelle ou sémantique entre les titres. === Tâche 4 - Ingrédients d'une recette La tâche 4 se démarque des précédentes car elle ne concerne pas la classification des recettes, mais l'extraction d'information. Il s'agit en effet dans cette tâche d'identifier la liste des ingrédients de la recette. L'évaluation se fera en comparant les listes d'ingrédients fournies par les auteurs des recettes à la liste fournie par le système. Une liste normalisée globale de libellés d'ingrédients sera fournie aux participants. Cette liste contiendra au moins tous les ingrédients présents dans la base des textes de recettes, mais pourra aussi contenir des ingrédients qui ne sont pas présents dans les recettes. La mesure d'évaluation sera basée sur un calcul de Mean Average Precision (MAP) ou de Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR). DÉROULEMENT ----------- Il n'y a pas de limite quant au nombre de pistes auxquelles peut participer une équipe. Le nombre maximum de systèmes différents présentés par une équipe pour une tâche donnée est limité à 3. Si une équipe veut présenter plus de 3 systèmes différents elle doit contacter au préalable les organisateurs. À partir du moment où une équipe a reçu le corpus de test, elle s'engage moralement à effectuer l'évaluation complètement en retournant les données annotées et en participant à l'atelier de clôture.

Toute personne intéressée est la bienvenue. ********************************************************************* Josef Ruppenhofer (University of Hildesheim) Title : Emotion vocabulary and sentiment analysis in FrameNet Abstract : The FrameNet project (Baker, Fillmore & Lowe 1998) has been working for a while now on an analysis of the English vocabulary based on frame semantic theory (Fillmore 1982, 1985; Fillmore & Atkins 1992), documenting and verifying its analyses by creating corpus annotations. In this talk, I will give an overview of FrameNet's method using the example of emotion-related words and then present recent ideas for extending FrameNet's representation for the purposes of sentiment analysis. In the discussion of emotion vocabulary, I will address several points. First, comparing different releases, we ask how have FrameNet's criteria for distinguishing frames evolved over time? For instance, the organization of emotion frames in the current FrameNet release 1.5 is less exclusively valence-driven than in earlier versions. The overall trajectory is towards an organization where frame divisions are becoming finer and lexical units in a given frame are more semantically similar to each other. A second key point is that even given the more fine-grained analysis, FrameNet's division of frames and lexical units does not follow any one psychological theory of emotion. However, as will be shown, it is closest in spirit to the work of Ortony, Clore & Collins (1988) whose work is linguistically inspired and whose categories are often compatible with work underway at FrameNet. In the final part of the talk I suggest ways to extend FrameNet's representation for the purposes of sentiment analysis, producing a resource that allows for deep analysis of not only emotional vocabulary but evaluative and subjective language in general. A key feature of this approach is to piggy-back the extraction of opinion holders and targets onto automatic semantic role labeling systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue Feb 19 20:07:44 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:07:44 +0100 Subject: Appel: CEC-TAL'13 Message-ID: Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2013 21:45:14 -0800 (PST) From: Wajdi Zaghouani Message-ID: <1361079914.99952.YahooMailNeo at web121704.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> X-url: http://www.qatar.cmu.edu/~wajdiz/cec-tal/index.htm *SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS CEC-TAL'13* *International Colloquium for students Researchers in Natural Language Processing and its Applications* *September 5-6, 2013, Montréal, Canada* http://www.qatar.cmu.edu/~wajdiz/cec-tal/index.htm *Call for papers* The first Colloquium for Students Researchers in Natural Language Processing and its Applications (CEC-TAL'13).

These speaker-specific differences occur at various linguistic levels and they can be realized phonetically by many parameters such as voice quality, speech rate, loudness, fundamental frequency, breathing, articulatory behavior, etc. At the same time, listeners can vary in the way they exploit such cues for the purpose of speech perception and understanding. Speaker-specific behavior has long been regarded irrelevant for linguistic theories and is generally treated as noise in the data. Methodologically, speaker-specific variation has often been ignored in the statistical modelling of speech production and perception data. However, there are numerous recent studies showing that speaker-specific variation allows for new insights into learning processes, speech planning and speech motor control strategies, processing of linguistic and paralinguistic information, among others. We seek to link findings from different disciplines by asking the following questions: * Which speaker-specific behaviors are crucial for a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying speech production and perception and which are less important? What can it tell us? Why? * Does information about the speaker help listeners to extract meaning? * Do physical and cognitive differences among individuals matter for native language acquisition? * How do we deal with speaker-specific behavior statistically? The invited international scholars have been chosen to address these issues. This summer school is mainly intended for graduate students, post-docs or researchers who work in the field of speech production, perception and perception-production interaction. We expect about 50 participants. One of the aims of the summer school is to provide a forum for exchanges between students, junior and senior researchers and encourage all participants to contribute to the dialog.

Workshop The BioNLP ST workshop will be co-hosted with the ACL/HLT 2013 BioNLP workshop, to be held in Sofia, Bulgaria, August 8-9 Participants will be invited to submit manuscripts describing their systems to the BioNLP ST workshop. Context The BioNLP Shared Task series represents a community-wide trend in text-mining for biology toward fine-grained information extraction (IE). The two previous events, the BioNLP 2009 and 2011 shared task attracted wide attention, with numerous teams submitting final results. The task setup and data have since served as the basis of numerous studies and published event extraction systems and datasets. The BioNLP Shared Task 2013 (BioNLP-ST'13) follows the general outline and goals of the previous tasks. It identifies biologically relevant extraction targets and proposes a linguistically motivated approach to event representation. BioNLP-ST'13 tasks also covers many new hot topics in the biology domain that are close to biologist needs. As in previous editions, manually annotated data are provided for training, development and evaluation of the participating extraction methods. The six BioNLP-ST 2013 event extraction tasks are - [GE] Genia Event Extraction for NFkB knowledge base construction - [CG] Cancer Genetics - [PC] Pathway Curation - [GRO] Corpus Annotation with Gene Regulation Ontology - [RNB] Gene Regulation Network in Bacteria - [BB] Microorganism Biotope (semantic annotation by an ontology) For further information, please see the shared task website http://2013.bionlp-st.org/ Schedule Training Data Release 12:00 IDLW, 17 Jan. 2013 Test Data Release 22 Mar. 2013 Result Submission 29 Mar. 2013 BioNLP'11 Workshop 8-9 Aug. 2013 Committees Scientific Advisory Board Jun'ichi Tsujii (Microsoft) - Chair Philippe Bessières (INRA) Sung-Pil Choi (KISTI) Kevin Cohen (Univ.

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.

Its program each year has comprised high-quality papers discussing current work spanning topics including: new grammatical models of translation; new learning methods for syntax- and semantics-based models; formal properties of synchronous/transduction grammars (hereafter S/TGs); discriminative training of models incorporating linguistic features; using S/TGs for semantics and generation; and syntax- and semantics-based evaluation of machine translation. The need for structural mappings between languages is widely recognized in the fields of statistical machine translation and spoken language translation, and there is a growing consensus that these mappings are appropriately represented using a family of formalisms that includes synchronous/transduction grammars and their tree-transducer equivalents. To date, flat-structured models, such as the word-based IBM models of the early 1990s or the more recent phrase-based models, remain widely used. But tree-structured mappings arguably offer a much greater potential for learning valid generalizations about relationships between languages. Within this area of research there is a rich diversity of approaches. There is active research ranging from formal properties of S/TGs to large-scale end-to-end systems. There are approaches that make heavy use of linguistic theory, and approaches that use little or none. There is theoretical work characterizing the expressiveness and complexity of particular formalisms, as well as empirical work assessing their modeling accuracy and descriptive adequacy across various language pairs. There is work being done to invent better translation models, and work to design better algorithms. Recent years have seen significant progress on all these fronts. In particular, systems based on these formalisms are now top contenders in MT evaluations. At the same time, SMT has seen a movement toward semantics over the past few years, which has been reflected at recent SSST workshops, including the last two editions which had semantics for SMT as a special theme. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely linked and SSST-7 continues to encourage submissions on semantics for MT in a number of directions, including semantic role labeling and sense disambiguation for translation and evaluation. We invite papers on: * syntax-based / semantics-based / tree-structured SMT * machine learning techniques for inducing structured translation models * algorithms for training, decoding, and scoring with semantic representation structure * empirical studies on adequacy and efficiency of formalisms * creation and usefulness of syntactic/semantic resources for MT * formal properties of synchronous/transduction grammars * learning semantic information from monolingual, parallel or comparable corpora * unsupervised and semi-supervised word sense induction and disambiguation methods for MT * lexical substitution, word sense induction and disambiguation, semantic role labeling, textual entailment, paraphrase and other semantic tasks for MT * semantic features for MT models (word alignment, translation lexicons, language models, etc.) * evaluation of syntactic/semantic components within MT (task-based evaluation) * scalability of structured translation methods to small or large data * applications of S/TGs to related areas including: speech translation formal semantics and semantic parsing paraphrases and textual entailment information retrieval and extraction * syntactically- and semantically-motivated evaluation of MT ORGANIZERS Marine CARPUAT, National Research Council Canada Lucia SPECIA, University of Sheffield Dekai WU, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology IMPORTANT DATES Mar 01, 2013 Paper due date Mar 29, 2013 Notification of acceptance Apr 12, 2013 Camera-ready deadline Jun 13 or 14, 2013 Workshop For more information: http://www.cs.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Fri Feb 22 20:07:33 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:07:33 +0100 Subject: Appel: Atelier NAACL/HLT, Analyse linguistique dans les medias sociaux (LASM 2013) Message-ID: Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:15:31 -0500 From: "Atefeh Farzindar" Message-ID: <016201ce0ee6$4785c8a0$d69159e0$@nlptechnologies.ca> X-url: http://www.nlptechnologies.ca/News/SocialMediaWorkshopNAACL2013_fr.html NAACL/HLT un atelier sur l'analyse linguistique dans les médias sociaux (LASM 2013) Site web:http://www.nlptechnologies.ca/News/SocialMediaWorkshopNAACL2013_fr.html Date :13 juin 2013 Événement : Atelier de la North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics ?

Description Au cours des dernières années, l'intérêt du public et des entreprises envers les médias sociaux et leur rôle dans la société moderne s'est accru. La possibilité pour les utilisateurs de créer et de partager du contenu au moyen d'un ensemble varié de plates-formes comme les blogues, les microblogues, les wikis, les sites de partage et de collaboration multimédia et les sites de médias sociaux est au cœur de cet intérêt. Le volume sans précédent et la variété des contenus générés, ainsi que le réseau d'interactions entre les utilisateurs créent de nouvelles possibilités pour la compréhension du comportement social et de la construction de systèmes socialement responsables. Cet atelier servira de forum pour unir les efforts de recherche et pour partager les résultats de l'analyse du langage ayant des incidences dans des domaines comme la linguistique informatique, la sociolinguistique et la psycholinguistique. L'atelier mettra également l'accent sur le travail qui porte sur la formation d'un corpus de référence et de méthodes d'évaluation axées sur les tâches d'analyse linguistique. Alors que l'atelier proposé porte sur l'analyse et sur la piste de traitement, et sur d'autres conférences et ateliers de la NAACL qui mettent l'accent sur l'analyse des médias sociaux, il a un objectif précis : réunir des chercheurs de différentes disciplines qui ont un intérêt commun à explorer les caractéristiques et les défis associés au langage dans les médias sociaux. Les dates importantes à retenir sont : le 14 janvier 2013 – atelier à proposition d'article pour l'atelier; le 1er mars 2013 ? date de présentation des articles; le 29 mars 2013 ? avis d'acceptation; le 12 avril 2013 ? version définitive prête à imprimer; le 13 juin 2013 ? atelier.

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. Nous donnons ci-après quelques exemples de travaux pertinents : - 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. 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 8 à 10 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.

Dates importantes ----------------- - Date limite de soumission : vendredi 15 mars 2013 - Notification aux auteurs : vendredi 19 avril 2013 - Version définitive : vendredi 10 mai 2013 Présentation ------------ RECITAL 2013, la conférence annuelle des jeunes chercheurs associée à TALN, se déroulera aux Sables D'Olonne (France) du 17 au 21 juin 2013. RECITAL offre aux jeunes chercheurs en Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL) l'occasion de présenter leurs travaux et de comparer leurs approches. Elle est réservée aux étudiants (master et doctorat) et aux jeunes chercheurs ayant obtenu leur doctorat depuis moins d'un an. Fort du succès de l'année précédente, nous encourageons la soumission de travaux même préliminaires, de projets de thèse, et de travaux des premiers mois de recherche (état de l'art, premières pistes, etc.). L'objectif premier de RECITAL est de soutenir les travaux des jeunes chercheurs en TAL et de faciliter leur intégration dans notre communauté. A ce titre, nous visons : - des relectures pédagogiques : les auteurs doivent pouvoir comprendre les erreurs qu'ils ont pu commettre afin de pouvoir les corriger et améliorer la qualité de leur travail; - des relectures positives : il n'est jamais nécessaire de décourager un jeune chercheur, les maîtres-mots devront être encourager/guider; - l'échange direct : les relectures seront communiquées signées, donc non-anonymes, aux auteurs. Libre à eux (ou mieux, aux relecteurs) d'aller informellement discuter ensemble lors de la conférence. Un prix du meilleur papier RECITAL d'une valeur de 500 Euros sera décerné lors de la cérémonie de clôture. Thèmes principaux ----------------- Les communications pourront porter sur les thèmes habituels du TAL : - Analyse et génération dans les domaines suivants : + Phonétique + Phonologie + Morphologie + Syntaxe + Sémantique - Analyse et génération dans les domaines suivants : + Phonétique + Phonologie + Morphologie + Syntaxe + Sémantique + Discours - Développement de ressources linguistiques pour le TAL : + Bases de données comportant des informations morphologiques, syntaxiques, sémantiques, et/ou phonologiques + Grammaires + Lexiques + Ontologies + Linguistique de corpus - Applications du TAL : + Analyse de sentiments ou d'opinions + Catégorisation ou classification automatique + Désambiguïsation lexicale + Dialogue homme-machine en langage naturel + Indexation automatique + Recherche et extraction d'information + Résumé automatique + Résolution d'anaphores + Systèmes de question-réponse + Traduction automatique + Web sémantique - Approches : + Linguistiques formelles destinées à soutenir les traitements automatiques + Symboliques + Logiques + Statistiques + Basées sur l'apprentissage automatique Cette liste n'est pas exhaustive et l'adéquation d'une proposition de communication à la conférence sera jugée par le comité de programme. Critères de sélection --------------------- Les auteurs doivent être des étudiant(e)s ou bien des jeunes docteur(e)s ayant soutenu leur thèse depuis moins d'un an. Les publications avec des chercheurs confirmés (ce qui inclus les directeurs de thèses) doivent être soumises à TALN et non à RECITAL. Les auteurs sont invités à soumettre des travaux de recherche originaux, n'ayant pas fait l'objet de publications antérieures. Les soumissions seront examinées par au moins deux spécialistes du domaine. Seront considérées en particulier: - La correction du contenu scientifique et technique - La situation des travaux dans le contexte de la recherche internationale - L'organisation et la clarté de la présentation - L'adéquation aux thèmes de la conférence Les articles sélectionnés seront publiés dans les actes de la conférence. Suivant l'avis du comité de programme, les présentations se feront soit sous forme orale soit sous forme de poster.

Christophe Roche - Université de Savoie - Pr. Rute Costa - Universidade Nova de Lisboa Présentation générale : --------------------------------------------------------- Dans la société de l'information, les terminologies sont indispensables à une communication spécialisée rigoureuse et efficace. Les terminologues jouent un rôle central dans toute activité professionnelle où les compétences discursives, le transfert et l'organisation des connaissances sont requis. Décrire le concept, pour mieux trouver la dénomination dans un contexte donné, est une des fonctions du terminologue et la construction du système notionnel une des tâches centrales de son activité. Se posent alors le problème des méthodes et des outils pour la définition du système conceptuel, mais également celui des outils pour la définition et la gestion des terminologies. Dans ce cadre, les ontologies, au sens de l'ingénierie des connaissances, offrent de nouvelles perspectives et de nouveaux marchés pour les terminologues. Réciproquement, dans le contexte des nombreuses applications informatiques à base d'ontologies, que ce soit pour des applications de traitement de l'information ou de gestion des connaissances, se pose le problème de la prise en compte des terminologies lors de l'acquisition des connaissances du domaine. Si les corpus de spécialités constituent une source privilégiée d'information, il reste à définir des méthodes d'analyse qui tiennent compte des différences qui existent entre les textes et la conceptualisation formelle. La terminologie permet d'y répondre en distinguant les dimensions linguistique et conceptuelle. Elle établit de plus des principes théoriques et méthodologiques utiles pour la construction d'ontologies. Objectifs : --------------------------------------------------------- La formation vise à promouvoir la collaboration entre les professionnels de la langue et de la connaissance. Elle a également pour objectif de présenter les théories, méthodes et outils de construction d'ontologies à des fins terminologiques, dotant ainsi : - les professionnels de la langue d'une approche méthodologique et systématique (raisonnement formel) pour la définition du système conceptuel, particulièrement utile pour l'opérationnalisation des terminologies ; - les professionnels de la connaissance de compétences linguistiques indispensables pour l'acquisition de connaissances à partir de ressources linguistiques. Publics visés : --------------------------------------------------------- Linguistes, Terminologues, Lexicographes, Traducteurs, Documentalistes, Ingénieurs cogniticiens, Informaticiens Programme : --------------------------------------------------------- Une part importante de la formation sera consacrée à des travaux pratiques pour la construction d'ontologies à l'aide d'environnements logiciels. 1.

Les principaux objectifs de cette mission sont de sensibiliser et de préserver la mémoire des traces matérielles (instruments et documents) et immatérielles (savoir-faire) des acteurs de la recherche publique et privée en s'appuyant sur un réseau développé au niveau national et créé en 2004, de susciter des initiatives régionales de sauvegarde et valorisation de ce « patrimoine » et d'assurer un rôle de conseil et d'expertise, notamment pour la constitution de musées scientifiques et techniques. Au XXIe siècle, il apparaît en effet nécessaire de sauvegarder ce futur patrimoine en le replaçant dans le cycle de l'innovation qui l'a vu naître. Il constitue un témoignage de la recherche pour demain permettant à nos concitoyens de se familiariser avec les savoirs, les techniques et les innovations. Le programme de sauvegarde s'articule autour de plusieurs axes : - Sensibiliser les établissements d'enseignement supérieur et de recherche et les entreprises à la sauvegarde et la conservation de ce « patrimoine » scientifique et technique ; - Susciter l'organisation dans les régions d'un réseau local autour d'un chef de projet ; - Accompagner la mise en ¦uvre du programme dans les régions grâce au suivi et à la coordination nationale ; - Transférer la méthodologie sous forme de conseils et d'expertises, proposer des outils communs aux partenaires du réseau national, une base de données et un site Internet (www.patstec.fr) pour la constitution d'un inventaire commun ; - Valoriser des actions sous diverses formes au niveau national. Pour mener à bien ces objectifs, une cellule de coordination nationale, située au Musée des arts et métiers, accompagne la mise en ¦uvre du programme dans les régions, tout en généralisant la méthodologie sous forme de conseils et d'expertise. Tous les ans, une journée nationale et deux ateliers techniques permettent d'échanger sur les pratiques avec les différents membres du réseau. Des journées d'étude et des colloques sont organisés. Des actions de recherches sont menées au niveau des régions partenaires et un séminaire national intitulé « Patrimoine contemporain : Science, Technique, Culture & Société » a eu lieu en 2012 et continue en 2013. Au-delà de la sauvegarde matérielle, du repérage, de la collecte et de la mise en valeur des objets, il est apparu indispensable à la Mission nationale d'engager une réflexion sur les questions que soulève le patrimoine scientifique et technique contemporain. Le réseau national comprend aujourd'hui seize régions partenaires, ainsi que plusieurs partenaires institutionnels, tels que le CNRS, le CEA ou Météo France, ou industriels (Fondation EDF, Essilor, Michelin). La Base de données et le site www.pastec.fr, 13 000 objets documentés et 50000 médias. Plus largement, la mission nationale souhaite aujourd'hui développer cette expérience pilote à un niveau européen voire international.

Below is the abstract of the insightful talk that Prof Bebo White, Departmental Associate (Emeritus) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Web pioneer in the US, will be delivering as WWW13 MABSDA (http://sentic.net/mabsda) keynote speech. Don't miss it! THE WEB AS A LABORATORY Insights from Web Science and Big Data Analysis have led many researchers to the conclusion that the Web not only represents an almost unlimited data store but also a remarkable multi-disciplinary laboratory environment. A new challenge is how to best leverage the potential of this experimental space. What are the procedures for defining, implementing and evaluating “Web-scale” experiments? What are acceptable measures of robustness and repeatability? What are the opportunities for experimental collaboration? What disciplines are likely to benefit from this new research model? This talk will likely have more questions than answers, but should provide fertile ground for ongoing discussion.

Cette thématique a été traitée sous l’angle des structures d’organisation, des outils techniques de médiation mais aussi des formes et mécanismes de partage des connaissances. Ces questions sont au cœur des processus de production, de structuration et d’accès à l’information. Dans la continuité de ces réflexions, la 9 ème édition du colloque ISKO-France vise à répondre aux problématiques liées à la pertinence de l’information par la contextualisation dans les différentes phases de ces processus. La démocratisation des technologies de l’information et de la communication, en particulier avec Internet, permet à un plus grand nombre de producteurs et diffuseurs de mettre à disposition des informations, comme elle offre à un plus grand nombre d’utilisateurs d’y avoir accès. Or, la production, la mise à disposition et l’accès à l’information sont liés à l’utilisation de ces informations, rendant les problématiques liées à la pertinence de l’information primordiales. Sont invités, les travaux originaux sur les aspects théoriques, méthodologiques et applicatifs, en mettant l’accent sur les multiples dimensions de la production, l’organisation et l’exploitation des connaissances. Thèmes (liste non exhaustive) Histoire et épistémologie de l’organisation des connaissances : Classifications universelles, approches historiques et anthropologiques Classifications et Web de connaissances Contextualisation de l’information : Contextualisation et annotation Annotation orientée utilisation Contextualisation et folksonomie Contextualisation et visualisation de l’information Intelligence économique, Intelligence territoriale : Information et contextualisation dans un processus décisionnel Spécification d’un problème décisionnel Du problème décisionnel au problème de recherche d’information Recherche collaborative d’information : Spécification d’un problème de recherche d’information Représentation des acteurs dans un cadre de recherche collaborative d’information Communication dans un cadre de recherche collaborative d’information Conception centrée utilisateur et utilisation : Système d’information d’aide à la décision Personnalisation des réponses Modélisation de l’utilisateur Instructions aux auteurs · Format des documents : word ou rtf · Les articles peuvent être en français ou en anglais · Police : Times 12 · Nombre de pages : 1500 mots pour un résumé étendu (titre papier, auteurs, emails auteurs, thème de la conférence) · Proposition à envoyer à philippe at kislin .fr Dates importantes · 10 avril 2013 : Date limite envoi des résumés étendus · 30 avril 2013 : Notification d’acceptation · 30 juin 2013 : Date limite réception des propositions définitives · 25 septembre : Date limite inscription En collaboration avec DICEN-IDF, CNAM, Université Marne-la-Vallée ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue Feb 26 21:00:14 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 22:00:14 +0100 Subject: Appel: Depling2013 Message-ID: Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2013 12:48:20 +0100 From: Sylvain Kahane Message-Id: <048DA7AC-9504-4983-9CF5-07D046AA7ECB at kahane.fr> X-url: http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/project/depling13/ =========================================================== Second International Conference on Dependency Linguistics DepLing 2013 http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/project/depling13/ =========================================================== Second 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).

L’essor des Sciences et Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication, notamment des technologies du Web, dans l’ensemble de la société engendre des mutations dans les pratiques individuelles et collectives. L’ingénierie des connaissances accompagne cette évolution, en inventant les théories, les méthodes et les outils permettant l’intégration de la dimension « connaissance » dans des environnements informatiques dont la plasticité et la capacité à s’associer aux activités deviennent les vertus cardinales. Les modèles de l’ingénierie des connaissances se renouvellent et intègrent de plus en plus la dimension dynamique des situations liées à la massification des usages. La conférence est l’occasion de confronter les théories, les modèles, les méthodes, les outils, les observations des usages liés à ces évolutions et qui permettront d’aller plus loin. L’ingénierie des connaissances est directement liée au processus plus général de la « découverte » des connaissances, processus associant l’humain et l’environnement informatique. Ce processus se réalise selon des modalités qui s’inventent à un rythme accéléré avec le Web qui s’impose progressivement comme un unique environnement associant ressources informatiques et humains en réseaux. Les thèmes d'IC 2013 (liste non exhaustive) sont : *Modèles de connaissances et ontologies* - modèles, formalismes, langages formels et informels de représentation de connaissances - méthodes et outils pour le cycle de vie des représentations : détection de besoin, spécification, conception et réutilisation, diffusion, utilisation, évaluation, évolution, gestion - échange, interopérabilité et réutilisation des modèles, standardisation - terminologies, thesaurii, ontologies et lexiques - types d’ontologies et rôle des ontologies de référence - gestion de la dynamique des ontologies (versionnement, évolution, intégration et alignement) - raisonnements logiques, inférences et raisonnements à base de règles, approximations, raisonnement statistiques, raisonnement par analogie, raisonnement à partir de cas *Conception et construction de modèles de connaissances et d'ontologies* - acquisition de connaissances à partir de textes - peuplement de modèles de connaissances - inférence et règles métier : acquisition conception, réutilisation, évolution, évaluation, exploitations - découverte interactive de connaissances dans les données, dans les historiques, dans les interactions, sur le web, etc. - ontologies spatiales et temporelles - métrique et évaluation de la qualité des ontologies *Web des données, données ouvertes dans le cadre du Web Sémantique* - connaissance et réseaux sociaux sur le web - interconnexion de données - donnée ouvertes (territoriales, gouvernementales), annuaire et catalogage - gestion de données de flux - passage à l'échelle : gestion et interrogation de gros volumes de données - provenance et confiance dans les données - métrique et évaluation de la qualité des données *Interaction et visualisation des connaissances* - conception d'interactions et d'interfaces avec des systèmes à base de connaissances - visualisation de connaissances, d'ontologies - visualisation d'interconnexion de données, de raisonnement sur les données - profils utilisateurs, modèles de contexte et adaptation - évaluation d'interfaces consommant des données liées *Développements théoriques et interdisciplinaires de l'ingénierie des connaissances* - épistémologie de l'ingénierie des connaissances - théorie des organisations et ingénierie des connaissances - sciences humaines et sciences cognitives (ergonomie, psychologie, sociologie, linguistique, etc.) et ingénierie des connaissances - génie logiciel (langages et environnements, ingénierie des modèles, ingénierie des besoins, etc.) et ingénierie des connaissances *Applications et systèmes spécialisant ou adaptant des méthodes et techniques d’IC* - applications dans les domaines de la santé, de l'éducation et de l'apprentissage, de la culture, de la recherche documentaire, des transports intelligents, de l'informatique décisionnelle (BI), etc. - gestion des connaissances, mémoires d'entreprises - applications situées (dans le temps et l'espace) - aide à la conception - systèmes pour la collaboration et la coopération dans les organisations et les collectifs Les auteurs sont invités à présenter des articles longs, des articles courts, des posters et des démonstrations - Articles longs (16 p, présentation orale de 20 mn, 10 mn discussion) : Sont concernés des travaux aboutis, présentant des résultats validés ou des synthèses fouillées. - Articles courts (8p, présentation orale de 10 mn, 5 mn discussion) : Sont concernés des travaux en cours ou au stade de résultats partiels de recherches ou appliqués.

Par ailleurs, d'un point de vue épistémologique, la didactique des langues affirme le caractère praxéologique (relation constante entre concepts et contextes, théorie et pratique) de sa démarche et de la posture qu'elle implique chez les chercheurs. La circulation des notions et principes méthodologiques prend une tournure particulière dans le cas de la coopération, qu'elle soit bi- ou multilatérale, ou dans celui des partenariats institutionnels entre pays dits du Nord et du Sud (IFADEM, ELAN, TESSA, etc.) : le transfert de méthodologies se fait généralement à sens unique, sans que soient toujours bien pris en compte les contextes dans lesquels il est opéré (Blanchet, 2009 ; Block and Cameron, 2002 ; Maurer, 2007). À cela s'ajoutent bien souvent les répercussions des « effets de mode » méthodologiques, qui entraînent au niveau local une succession de méthodologies en l'espace de quelques années : une nouvelle méthodologie est parfois introduite sur le terrain avant même que les acteurs sociaux de l'éducation aient pu prendre la mesure de celle qui la précédait. Il convient donc de s'interroger sur le caractère international et multicontextuel des stratégies, des outils et des méthodologies éducatives et linguistiques (Montagne-Macaire, 2008 ; Block, 2010). Les questions suivantes seront donc au cœur des discussions et pourront concerner l'école dans son ensemble (niveaux élémentaires, primaires, secondaires et universitaires) : Dans quelle mesure, et avec quels aménagements, ces éléments bénéficiant d'une reconnaissance et d'une légitimité internationales sont-ils opérationnels dans des contextes variés se distinguant aussi bien par leur culture éducative (Beacco, Cicurel, Chiss & Véronique 2005), leurs besoins spécifiques, les caractéristiques de leurs ressources humaines ? Inversement, des outils élaborés localement et de manière très contextualisée sont-ils à même d'apporter une réponse à des problématiques vécues sur d'autres terrains ? Comment mettre en évidence la complexité du transfert des savoirs linguistiques en lien avec les méthodologies de l'enseignement des langues ? Comment ne pas réduire la langue à un système mais partir d'une conceptualisation sociolinguistique élargie qui inclut aussi bien les acteurs que les véritables formes d'existence des langues dans la communication, les pratiques discursives et les textes ? C'est à partir de ces questions que les diverses contributions à ce colloque permettront de relancer une dynamique réflexive dans le rapport didactique entre le nord et le sud, notamment en cherchant à dépasser le clivage entre politiques linguistiques et éducatives et approches scientifiques dont la relation entre langues secondes et langues nationales semble être le symbole. Les contributions porteront principalement sur les axes suivants : Des analyses de transferts de méthodologie d'enseignement des langues mis en œuvre dans des contextes variés (approche communicative, perspective actionnelle, etc.) Des analyses portant, pour un même terrain, sur une approche comparative des didactiques des différentes langues en présence (langues premières, secondes, étrangères). Ces analyses pourront également prendre pour cible des démarches de didactique intégrée entre langues nationales et internationales.

Its program each year has comprised high-quality papers discussing current work spanning topics including: new grammatical models of translation; new learning methods for syntax- and semantics-based models; formal properties of synchronous/transduction grammars (hereafter S/TGs); discriminative training of models incorporating linguistic features; using S/TGs for semantics and generation; and syntax- and semantics-based evaluation of machine translation. The need for structural mappings between languages is widely recognized in the fields of statistical machine translation and spoken language translation, and there is a growing consensus that these mappings are appropriately represented using a family of formalisms that includes synchronous/transduction grammars and their tree-transducer equivalents. To date, flat-structured models, such as the word-based IBM models of the early 1990s or the more recent phrase-based models, remain widely used. But tree-structured mappings arguably offer a much greater potential for learning valid generalizations about relationships between languages. Within this area of research there is a rich diversity of approaches. There is active research ranging from formal properties of S/TGs to large-scale end-to-end systems. There are approaches that make heavy use of linguistic theory, and approaches that use little or none. There is theoretical work characterizing the expressiveness and complexity of particular formalisms, as well as empirical work assessing their modeling accuracy and descriptive adequacy across various language pairs. There is work being done to invent better translation models, and work to design better algorithms. Recent years have seen significant progress on all these fronts. In particular, systems based on these formalisms are now top contenders in MT evaluations. At the same time, SMT has seen a movement toward semantics over the past few years, which has been reflected at recent SSST workshops, including the last two editions which had semantics for SMT as a special theme. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely linked and SSST-7 continues to encourage submissions on semantics for MT in a number of directions, including semantic role labeling and sense disambiguation for translation and evaluation. We invite papers on: * syntax-based / semantics-based / tree-structured SMT * machine learning techniques for inducing structured translation models * algorithms for training, decoding, and scoring with semantic representation structure * empirical studies on adequacy and efficiency of formalisms * creation and usefulness of syntactic/semantic resources for MT * formal properties of synchronous/transduction grammars * learning semantic information from monolingual, parallel or comparable corpora * unsupervised and semi-supervised word sense induction and disambiguation methods for MT * lexical substitution, word sense induction and disambiguation, semantic role labeling, textual entailment, paraphrase and other semantic tasks for MT * semantic features for MT models (word alignment, translation lexicons, language models, etc.) * evaluation of syntactic/semantic components within MT (task-based evaluation) * scalability of structured translation methods to small or large data * applications of S/TGs to related areas including: speech translation formal semantics and semantic parsing paraphrases and textual entailment information retrieval and extraction * syntactically- and semantically-motivated evaluation of MT ORGANIZERS Marine CARPUAT, National Research Council Canada Lucia SPECIA, University of Sheffield Dekai WU, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology IMPORTANT DATES Mar 15, 2013 Paper due date Apr 2, 2013 Notification of acceptance Apr 12, 2013 Camera-ready deadline Jun 13 or 14, 2013 Workshop For more information: http://www.cs.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Feb 2 19:33:36 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 2 Feb 2013 20:33:36 +0100 Subject: Appel: BUCC, 6th Workshop on Building and Using Comparable Corpora Message-ID: Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2013 06:09:31 +0000 From: Serge Sharoff Message-ID: <5108B91B.1090504 at leeds.ac.uk> X-url: http://comparable.limsi.fr/bucc2013/ BUCC, SIXTH WORKSHOP ON BUILDING AND USING COMPARABLE CORPORA When: 8 August 2013 Where: Sofia, Bulgaria, co-located with ACL2013 Deadline for papers: 26 April 2013 Notification of acceptance: 24 May 2013 Camera-ready deadline: 7 June 2013 Website: http://comparable.limsi.fr/bucc2013/ Website for submissions: https://www.softconf.com/acl2013/BUCC2013/ 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. Organizers: Serge Sharoff, University of Leeds, UK (Chair) Pierre Zweigenbaum, LIMSI-CNRS and ERTIM-INALCO, France Reinhard Rapp, Universities of Mainz, Germany, and Aix-Marseille, France Programme Committee: Chris Biemann (TU Darmstadt, Germany) Herv?

You find the text and information on the application procedure at: http://europa.eu/epso/apply/jobs/cast/2013/cast_jrc/index_en.htm The call includes a very wide range of subject areas, covering also computational linguistics. DEADLINE: The call will close at 12:00 (CET) on 1 March 2013. All necessary information can be found at that web page, but here are a few explanatory words: This is not an advertisement for a job opening! Instead, the profiles of applicants who successfully pass this selection procedure will be entered into a database of scientists that _can_ be hired to work at the JRC for a fixed-term contract within a period of up to three years after entering the database. The JRC can only fill positions of contractual agents with persons whose profiles made it into the database. NATIONALITY: The call is open for citizens of a Member State of the European Union or of one of the associated countries to the 7th Research Framework Programme (Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Israel, Liechtenstein, Montenegro, Norway, Republic of Moldova, Switzerland, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Serbia, Turkey). BACKGROUND ON OUR TEXT MINING WORK: The OPTIMA group at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Ispra, Italy, develops complex, highly multilingual (tens of languages) Language Technology applications applied to online media, including both traditional and social media. Our flagship product is the Europe Media Monitor (EMM) (http://emm.newsbrief.eu/overview.html) family of applications, which includes NewsExplorer (http://emm.newsexplorer.eu/), NewsBrief (http://emm.newsbrief.eu/) , the Medical Information System MedISys (http://medisys.newsbrief.eu/) and EMM-Labs (http://emm-labs.jrc.it/) and which processes a daily average of 175,000 news articles per day in up to 73 languages. We have developed and we use a range of text mining applications, including clustering and categorisation; information extraction and disambiguation (persons, organisations, locations, quotations; event scenario template filling); name variant matching; topic detection and tracking, including across languages; co-reference resolution; sentiment analysis/opinion mining; multi-document summarisation; social network generation; statistical machine translation. We have also released various large-scale multilingual linguistic resources (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.php?id=61), including JRC-Acquis (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.php?id=198), DGT-Translation Memory (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.php?id=197), ECDC-Translation Memory (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.php?id=782), DGT-Acquis (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.php?id=783) and the JRC EuroVoc Indexer JEX (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.php?id=60) .

In recent years, the demands of interactive entertainment and interest in the creation of engaging narratives with life-like characters have provided a fresh impetus to this field. This book provides an overview of the principal problems, approaches, and challenges faced today in modeling the narrative structure of stories. The book introduces classical narratological concepts from literary theory and their mapping to computational approaches. It demonstrates how research in AI and NLP has modeled character goals, causality, and time using formalisms from planning, case-based reasoning, and temporal reasoning, and discusses fundamental limitations in such approaches. It proposes new representations for embedded narratives and fictional entities, for assessing the pace of a narrative, and offers an empirical theory of audience response. These notions are incorporated into an annotation scheme called NarrativeML. The book identifies key issues that need to be addressed, including annotation methods for long literary narratives, the representation of modality and habituality, and characterizing the goals of narrators. It also suggests a future characterized by advanced text mining of narrative structure from large-scale corpora and the development of a variety of useful authoring aids. This is the first book to provide a systematic foundation that integrates together narratology, AI, and computational linguistics. It can serve as a narratology primer for computer scientists and an elucidation of computational narratology for literary theorists. It is written in a highly accessible manner and is intended for use by a broad scientific audience that includes linguists (computational and formal semanticists), AI researchers, cognitive scientists, computer scientists, game developers, and narrative theorists. ____________________ In the series, Synthesis Lectures on Human Language Technologies, edited by Graeme Hirst, University of Toronto: http://www.morganclaypool.com/toc/hlt/1/1 This title is available online, free of charge to members of institutions that that have licensed the Synthesis Digital Library of Engineering and Computer Science.

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.

NEs include proper nouns but also entities expressed through other nominal expressions, such as multi-word units, classified into types which may be coarse or fine-grained according to domain or user requirements. Despite years of research, NER still includes several challenges, such as correct classification, resolution of ambiguity, synonym detection, coreference and variability (e.g., acronyms, orthography). Several methods have been used to improve the prediction of correct classes, ranging from rule-based and dictionary-based approaches, to semi-supervised, and unsupervised machine learning techniques. Evaluation depends on the existence of gold (or silver) standards and domain specificity (e.g. genes, proteins, symptoms in health records, etc). Evaluation of NREelX is even more complex when considered in the end-to-end case. How can we evaluate NERelX while taking into account the errors coming from previous analysis steps? We invite submissions on all topics relating to NE, NER and NE relation extraction, including: - Definition and typology of NEs, multi-word units - Domain and document adaptation methods in NER (abstracts, full papers, wikipedia, domain specific documents, new social media like twitter, online threads, spoken documents, etc.) - Detecting NE spans and structural analysis of NEs (NE parsing) - Cross-document coreference and entity linking - NE Tracking through time, social or geographical groups, intra- and inter-document NE tracking etc. - Normalisation aspects of NE (coreference, disambiguation) - Recognising NEs in general language and special domains - Guidelines and annotation tools of NE resources, NE corpora - Cross-language aspects in NE extraction - Evaluation, comparison and critical assessment of tools - NE and NLP applications dependant or based on NEs LANGUAGE Manuscripts may be submitted in English or French. French-speaking authors are requested to submit their contributions in French.

At Idiap, we are studying methods for using text-level information to improve SMT, in the context of the Swiss COMTIS project (www.idiap.ch/comtis). In particular, we have successfully combined classifiers for discourse connectives with state-of-the-art SMT systems, showing an improvement on such particles. In collaborations with linguists, we currently analyze the features that govern the translation of verb tenses, mainly from English to French. The main challenge for MT is that there is no one-to-one mapping from English to French tenses, and the correct choice depends on the context. The goal of the internship is to design and implement a method for predicting the translation of verb tenses, applied to English/French translation (or another European language). First, training data will be generated by the word alignment of annotated parallel corpora. Then, a classifier will be trained to predict tense translation based on lexical and semantic features. Its output will then be used to train and test a tense-aware SMT system, which will be evaluated in terms of BLEU improvement but also verb-specific scores (METEOR or ACT). The applicants should have a background in computer science or linguistics. Knowledge of computational linguistics and machine learning would be an advantage. Previous experience with statistical machine translation would be highly appreciated. The applicants should have demonstrable programming skills in at least one scripting language such as Perl or Python, or master a programming language such as Java or C/C++. Good command of English and knowledge of another European language (preferably French) are mandatory. The applications should be submitted before March 15, 2013, with priority given to those submitted earlier. The internship can start immediately, but no later than July 1st, 2013. The appointment is for 6 months, with a gross salary of 2000 CHF per month.

Personnalit?s m?diatiques bien connues, les fr?res Igor et Grichka Bogdanov nourrissent depuis une vingtaine d'ann?es des ambitions scientifiques qui ont en plusieurs occasions suscit? la r?probation de certains chercheurs et de la presse sp?cialis?e, sans pour autant que cela n'alt?re leur popularit? ou leur statut revendiqu? de scientifiques brillants aupr?s du grand public. Dans ce s?minaire, je pr?senterai quelques ?l?ments de contexte visant ? rappeler le foss? qui s?pare la r?alit? acad?mique de l'image publique, et ?voquerai les difficult?s qu'ont les scientifiques ? se faire entendre face ? des personnalit?s rompues ? l'exercice m?diatique, b?n?ficiant d'un certain nombre de soutiens, et capables au besoin d'invoquer la loi comme substitut au d?bat scientifique. Genevi?ve KOUBI Professeur de Droit public, Universit? Paris Vincennes Saint-Denis CERSA-CNRS UMR 7106 L'id?e plus que le texte : le plagiat et l'autoplagiat. L'observation sur la multiplication des cas de ressemblance entre deux textes ou plus, entre deux ?tudes ou plus, entre deux d?monstrations ou plus, qui laisse planer le doute quant ? l'existence d'un plagiat, devient ?prouvante. Les affaires dites de ? plagiat ? semblent acqu?rir une couverture m?diatique de plus en plus ample sans pour autant conna?tre de solutions satisfaisantes. Cette mise en sc?ne qui s'accapare des objets de publicit?, livres, films, photographies, tableaux, etc., ne revient-elle pas ? occulter d'autres sujets, ceux qui justement s'emparent de la r?flexion, de l'analyse, des exp?riences, des ?tudes, de la pens?e, de la recherche donc ? Les termes de copie, de r?currence, de r?p?tition, d'intertextualit?, de reproduction, de contrefa?on, les expressions de copier-coller ou de r?utilisation d'un texte, de d?riv? linguistique etc. exposent les captations, les appropriations par autrui de la substance de l'id?e cr?atrice, de la pens?e novatrice, de l'originalit? de la r?flexion, de l'ind?pendance d'esprit, de l'inventivit? du raisonnement. Pourtant, il est une dimension substantielle sur laquelle tout reposerait : l'ant?riorit? d'un texte, d'un discours, d'une ?tude, d'un argument, d'un dire sur les autres. L'ant?c?dence d'une production, d'une publication ne peut syst?matiquement constituer une confirmation de la r?p?tition constat?e, du plagiat av?r?. Or, pour que la notion de plagiat prenne sens, il appara?t n?cessaire de rep?rer un ? avant-texte ? ? partir duquel ?valuer ressemblances et dissemblances, similitudes et diff?rences. Ceci s'effectue au risque de situer hors de port?e de l'analyse l'id?e-force, la pens?e-clef.

Fran?ais de Cartographie (CFC) a ?dit? en 1981 un glossaire de la g?omatique sous forme papier2. Ce glossaire s'adresse ? toute personne concern?e par la g?omatique, c?est-?-dire qui travaille dans le domaine de la g?ographie, l'urbanisme, l'informatique, etc. La commission a pour objectif de r?aliser une mise ? jour de la version ?lectronique de ce glossaire pour tenir compte en particulier des ?volutions techniques du domaine de la g?omatique. Ces travaux ont ?t? entam?s en particulier sur les entr?es du glossaire : termes obsol?tes et ? supprimer, termes obsol?tes mais pr?sentant un int?r?t historique, termes conserv?s, termes ? ajouter ont ?t? list?s. Le contenu du glossaire r?vis? a aussi ?t? pr?cis?, le texte actuel devra ?tre enrichi pour proposer des d?finitions multiples, des exemples d'utilisation qui permettraient de contextualiser les termes concern?s et en donner un contexte d'usage et des termes associ?s : synonyme, oppos?, "voir aussi". Enfin, la mise ? jour devrait s'appuyer sur des sources d'information existantes et des travaux similaires par les th?mes abord?s ou par les modes de consultation propos?s. Sujet L'objectif du stage est de : - pr?ciser la nouvelle ligne ?ditoriale de ce glossaire ? partir des ?tudes pr?alables d?j? r?alis?es et des pr?conisations d?j? formul?es par la commission, - proposer une m?thode de mise ? jour qui tiendra compte en particulier de la coh?rence, de la couverture et de la granularit? des d?finitions - et la tester sur un domaine th?matique de la g?omatique. Le d?roulement du stage pourrait ?tre le suivant : - analyse du glossaire existant et du projet ?ditorial tel qu'il est d?j? d?fini afin de bien cadrer les attentes ; - d?finition des principes de s?lection des documents primaires qui pourraient ?tre les plus int?ressants ? int?grer au corpus qui doit documenter les analyses des termes ? d?crire (un corpus ?lectronique de la g?omatique a d?j? ?t? constitu?, il devra ?tre v?rifi? dans cette ?tape) ; - d?finition d'une m?thodologie de rep?rage en corpus des termes absents du glossaire mais attest?s en corpus afin de pouvoir ensuite d?finir les crit?res de s?lection et d'int?gration des nouveaux termes ; - d?finition du programme d'information et de l'organisation structurelle des articles du nouveau glossaire ; - ?laboration du protocole de r?daction des articles (de la documentation des usages en corpus ? leur traitement textuel et structurel, en envisageant ?ventuellement des enrichissements du type annotations du texte des descriptions lexicales ou introduction de liens) ; - pr?conisations de traitements ?ditoriaux en fonction du ou des supports de publication envisag?s. Ce programme ?tant ambitieux, toutes les t?ches pr?vues pourront ne pas ?tre trait?es ? la m?me ?chelle, mais il serait int?ressant pour le stagiaire comme pour la commission de terminologie de pouvoir avoir une vue d?ensemble du projet ?ditorial et de la m?thode de travail pr?conis?e. Des orientations r?fl?chies et argument?es seront donc attendues pour chaque point. Un expert de la g?omatique apportera ses comp?tences afin d'aider le stagiaire ? ma?triser les notions fondamentales du domaine et v?rifiera r?guli?rement les propositions terminologiques. Des travaux similaires par les th?mes abord?s ou par les modes de consultation propos?s, ont d?j? ?t? recens?s et pourront aussi constituer des sources d'exemples.

No problem! (Bilingual lexicon extraction from comparable corpora for closely related languages) In smaller language communities, such as Slovenia, most funds and efforts for bilingual dictionary creation are usually limited to a few world languages, such as English, German, French and Italian. But very often there is a need, either among researchers in natural language processing or among foreign language students, for a dictionary between less marketable language combinations as well. In this talk we propose an attempt to close this gap economically and efficiently for a pair of closely related languages, such as Slovene and Croatian, solely by relying on the nonparallel corpus resources that are readily available or can be constructed quickly and with relatively little effort. We will show that we can build context vectors from web corpora for each language, and then compare the vectors in the two different languages by taking advantage of the language similarities, in order to identify which word pairs in the two languages are contextually most similar. Typically, a seed dictionary is needed to translate the features of source context vectors into the target language, but because our languages are very similar, we tackle the task by using identical words and cognates only. In addition, we try to improve the results by increasing the seed dictionary with the automatically extracted translation pairs of the most frequent words in the corpus, the quality of which is known to be very good. Finally, we perform cognate-based reranking of the list of top 10 translation candidates, which improves the results even further. Currently, we are trying to adapt the approach to be able to identify false friends, which are words that look orthographically the same in both languages but are used to denote different concepts and are therefore used in completely different contexts. They are extremely important in language learning because they are a common source of errors even among advanced language learners, but would be a welcome resource in a number of HLT tasks too. The presented approach is knowledge-light, requiring minimal language processing tools, such as lemmatization and PoS-tagging and could therefore be applied to any combination of closely related languages and corpora from any domain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Wed Feb 6 08:57:54 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2013 09:57:54 +0100 Subject: Ressources: EAC-TM, Another freely available translation memory, in 26 languages Message-ID: Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:25:47 +0100 From: Ralf Steinberger Message-id: <00df01ce0400$83389e40$89a9dac0$@jrc.ec.europa.eu> X-url: http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/EAC-TM.html EAC-TM is a translation memory (sentences and their manually produced translations) in 26 languages. It is a multilingual parallel corpus covering 325 language pairs. Size: Up to 5100 translation units per language; 78,000 in total. Languages: All 325 language pairs involving the following 26 languages: Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, German, Greek, Finnish, French, Croatian, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. URL: http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/EAC-TM.html Creator: EC Directorate for Education and Culture (EAC http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/education_culture/ ) and JRC WHAT IS EAC-TM EAC-TM was produced by translating the English language form data for the EAC?s Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) and the Youth in Action Programme of the European Commission?s Directorate General for Education and Culture (EAC). The results of the translation were stored in 25 bilingual translation memories. DG EAC and the JRC post-processed these by cleaning the data and by producing one alignment for all 26 languages, resulting in parallel data for 325 language pairs. The underlying documents are thus form data in the field of education and culture. The EAC Translation Memory (http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/EAC-TM.html) is much smaller than the other multilingual resources distributed in the past by the European Commission?s Joint Research Centre (JRC). Its main advantages are that (a) it covers even more languages and (b) it is based on texts from a very different domain (education and culture). MOTIVATION FOR THIS RELEASE The public data release is in line with the general effort of the European Commission to support multilingualism, language diversity and the re-use of Commission information. It follows the release of the JRC-Acquis (http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/JRC-Acquis.html) parallel corpus in 2006 (over 1 billion words in 22 languages), of the DGT-TM Translation Memory (http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/DGT-TM.html) in 2007 and 2011, the multilingual named entity resource JRC-Names (http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/JRC-Names.html) in 2011, the multi-label classification software JRC EuroVoc Indexer JEX (http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Eurovoc.html) in 22 languages in 2012,the ECDC-TM Translation Memory (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/?id=782) in 25 languages in 2012, the DGT-Acquis (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/?id=783) parallel corpus in 23 languages in 2012, and further smaller multilingual resources. See http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/?id=61 for more information on these resources. WHAT EAC-TM CAN BE USED FOR EAC-TM can be fed into translation memory software to support human translators in their work. As it is a large parallel corpus in electronic form, it can furthermore be used by specialists in computational linguistics to train statistical machine translation software, to generate multilingual dictionaries, to train and test multilingual information extraction software, and more. WHAT NEXT? The JRC and collaborating services of the European Commission hope to release further large-scale linguistic resources in the future.

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)!

Parmi les th?matiques de recherche actuelles, on trouve, par exemple,**la question de l'h?ritage de la structure argumentale verbale par les noms dits '?v?nementiels' (Grimshaw 1990, Alexiadou 2001, 2009), ? l'origine de la distinction entre lecture d'?v?nement et lecture r?sultative. L'h?ritage de la structure aspectuelle du verbe par la nominalisation correspondante a ?galement fait l'objet de travaux (e.g. Haas, Huyghe & Mar?n 2008). Par ailleurs, la question de la validit? de l'opposition perfectif / imperfectif a ?galement ?t? soulev?e (Iordachioaia & Soare 2009 sur le roumain ; Ferret, Soare & Villoing 2010 et Knittel 2011 pour le fran?ais). Les noms d'?tats sont ?galement au c?ur des pr?occupations des chercheurs. D'une part, la caract?risation des ?tats dans le domaine nominal semble reposer majoritairement sur le fait qu'ils r?pondent n?gativement aux divers tests. Ceci soul?ve la question de savoir s'il existe des tests positifs de caract?risation des ?tats ; en outre, doit-on consid?rer la classe des ?tats comme uniforme, ou au contraire, en distinguer des sous-classes (Van de Velde 1995, Flaux & Van de Velde 2000, Alexiadou 2011, Fradin 2011), voire en ?tablir une typologie ? Parall?lement ? la question des ?tats, les noms dits 'r?sultatifs' soul?vent le m?me probl?me de caract?risation n?gative. Bien qu'ils semblent avoir suscit? une litt?rature beaucoup moins abondante (voir cependant Osswald 2005, Melloni 2007), ils provoquent cependant des questions du m?me type : Peut-on d?finir positivement un r?sultat, et si oui, comment ? La relation entre la lecture d'?v?nement et la lecture de r?sultat d'un d?verbal donn? peut-elle ?tre ramen?e ? un ph?nom?ne de polys?mie (Godard & Jayez 1993) ? Est-il possible d'?tablir une typologie des r?sultats ? Sur quels crit?res ? Quelle relation la t?licit? entretient-elle avec la r?sultativit? ? Un r?sultat peut-il conserver des caract?ristiques ?v?nementielles ? Quelles sont les propri?t?s des ?tats r?sultants, notamment par rapport aux ?tats construits par nominalisation d'un verbe statif ? Outre la question des noms potentiellement ?v?nementiels, les autres noms d?verbaux, tels que les noms d'agents, de patients, ou encore d'instruments, rel?vent ?galement de la th?matique des nominalisations. A ce propos, les questions soulev?es vont de la mise ? jour des crit?res qui d?terminent l'interpr?tation du nom construit (Namer & Villoing 2008) ? l'implication d'une composante de niveau ?v?nementiel / phrastique dans la nominalisation (Roy & Soare 2010), laissant subsister un vaste champ d'exploration. Par ailleurs, le cadre d?fini par la th?matique s'?tend aux nominalisations adjectivales, pour lesquelles diverses questions ont d'ores et d?j? ?t? soulev?es, parmi lesquelles celles de la relation entre pr?dicativit? de l'adjectif et nominalisation (Fradin & Kerleroux 2003), de l'aspect des noms d?adjectivaux (Beauseroy & Knittel 2007, Beauseroy 2009, Haas & Tayalati 2008), ou encore de leur caract?re ?v?nementiel (Roy 2010). Orthogonalement aux questions ci-dessus, les communications relevant du domaine de la morphologique sont les bienvenues ; par exemple : Quelles sont les r?gles de construction impliqu?es dans les nominalisations ? Qu'est-ce qui motive le choix du proc?d? morphologique (affixation vs conversion) ? Quelle influence la r?gle / l'affixe a-t-il sur l'interpr?tation des noms d?verbaux et d?adjectivaux (Kerleroux 2008, Koehl 2009, Martin 2010) ? *Les ?tudes sur corpus peuvent-elles permettre de r?pondre aux questions pos?es ci-dessus, ou du moins contribuer ? la meilleure compr?hension de ces ph?nom?nes ?* *Autrement dit, en quoi l'?tude de corpus peut-elle nourrir la recherche sur la th?matique des nominalisations, et de quelle mani?re ? Par exemple, quelles sont les propri?t?s visibles en corpus ? Les corpus permettent-ils de r?v?ler de nouvelles propri?t?s ? Les propri?t?s distributionnelles confortent-elles les tests linguistiques utilis?s pour cat?goriser les nominalisations, et mettre en ?vidence leurs propri?t?s ? L'?tude du contexte permet-elle d'?laborer d'autres tests ? A l'inverse, retrouve-t-on en corpus les patrons utilis?s comme tests ? * *L'objectif de ce num?ro sp?cial /Nominalisations et Corpus/ sera de faire progresser les connaissances de la communaut? sur ces questions. * *Calendrier :* - *4 Mars 2013* : Les auteurs d?sireux de soumettre un article sont invit?s ? envoyer un r?sum? de 2 pages, r?f?rences comprises,de leur projet pour le 4/03/2013.

Les auteurs recevront une confirmation de r?ception./ *Call for papers *: At the crossroads of morphology, syntax and semantics, nominalizations are a federative research topic in linguistics. For example, the question of the inheritance of the argument structure of verbs by 'complex event nominals' (CEN, Grimshaw 1990), or 'argument structure nominals' (AS-Nominals, Alexiadou 2001, 2009), is a much discussed research topic. So is the question of the preservation of the aspectual properties of verbs by the corresponding nominalizations (e.g. Haas, Huyghe & Mar?n 2008). On the other hand, the existence of outer aspect (i.e. (im)perfectivity) in the nominal domain has also been discussed by researchers (Iordachioaia & Soare 2009 ; Ferret, Soare & Villoing 2010 ; Knittel 2011). The properties of stative nouns are also crucial. On the one hand, their characterization seems to rely mainly on their negative answering to the various current tests. This raises the issue of the existence of positive tests for stativity (F?bregas & Mar?n 2012). Another important question is to determine if the class of states is uniform, or if various types of nominal stativity do exist. (Van de Velde 1995, Flaux & Van de Velde 2000, Alexiadou 2011, Fradin 2011). Another class of nominalizations generally characterized negatively is that of resultatives. Even though they have been much less discussed than states (see however Osswald 2005, Melloni 2007), the questions they raise are of the same nature: Is it possible to put forward a positive description of results? Is the relationship between the event reading and the result reading a question of polysemy (Godard & Jayez 1993)? Is it possible to establish a typology of results, and on what criteria? Can a result keep eventive properties? What are the properties of result states, in particular with regards to nominalizations of stative verbs? Apart from potentially eventive nominals, other deverbal nouns, such as those referring to agents, patients, instruments a. o., can also be built up by nominalizing processes. With regards to this issue, questions range from the criteria determining the interpretation of the morphologically complex nouns (Namer & Villoing 2008) to the question of the presence of an event (or clausal) component in the nominalization (Roy & Soare 2010). Our preoccupations also extend to deadjectival nouns, for which issues such as the relationship between predicativity and nominalization (Fradin & Kerleroux 2003, Koehl 2012), aspect (Beauseroy & Knittel 2007, Beauseroy 2009, Haas & Tayalati 2008), number variation and its value (Beauseroy 2009, Beauseroy & Knittel 2011), or eventivity (Roy 2010, Mar?n 2010) have been raised. The morphology of deverbal / deadjectival nominals is also a current topic. Discussions dealing with e.g. the construction rules involved in nominalizations, the motivation determining the choice of morphological processes (e.g. affixation vs conversion), the influence of rules / affixes on the construal of deverbal and deadjectival nominals (Kerleroux 2008, Koehl 2009, 2012, Martin 2010), are also of current interest. *Can corpus studies help to provide answers to the above questions? Do they contribute to a better understanding of the phenomena described above? In what way can corpus studies feed in researches on nominalizations? For example: what are the properties visible in corpora? Can corpora help to disclose new properties? Do distributional properties support the linguistic tests used to categorize nominalizations and their properties? Can the study of contexts help to build up new tests? Can the patterns used as tests be found in corpora?****The objective of this issue of **/Verbum/**will be to provide answers to some of these questions. * *Important dates*: - *March 4th, 2013: Authors who want to submit an article are invited to send an abstract (2 pagesincluding references, in French or in English)describing their publication project for March 4h, 2013.The abstract should not be programmatic.

Les m?thodes de RIS visent ? s'affranchir de ces limites via le passage ? un niveau conceptuel par le biais d'une ressource s?mantique. L'exploitation des ressources s?mantiques se limite g?n?ralement au niveau des concepts o? les mots-cl?s sont substitu?s par les concepts et o? le raisonnement se fait essentiellement sur les liens hi?rarchiques entre ces concepts. Ces m?thodes ne permettent pas de prendre en compte toute la richesse des ressources s?mantiques qui ne sont consid?r?es que comme des structures taxonomiques. Le stage vise ? enrichir un mod?le de recherche d'information s?mantique pour prendre en compte les relations s?mantiques entre concepts afin d'am?liorer la qualit? des documents retourn?s. De nombreux travaux dans le cadre du Web S?mantique ont montr? l'utilit? des relations s?mantiques (i.e r?les) pour am?liorer l'acc?s ? l'information [1]. Les r?les permettent d'appliquer des moteurs d'inf?rences et de r?pondre ? des requ?tes complexes qui n?cessitent du raisonnement [2]. Plusieurs pistes sont possibles, comme l'int?gration de mesures de proximit? s?mantique (e.g. [2]), ou exploitation des relations s?mantiques pour r?-ordonnancer les r?sultats. Le stage se d?roulera au LIPN (http ://www-lipn.univ-paris13.fr/), Universit? Paris 13 dans l'?quipe ?Repr?sentation des Connaissances et Langage Naturel? (RCLN). Ce stage est r?mun?r? gr?ce au soutien du laboratoire d'excellence "Empirical Foundations of Linguistics" (labex EFL, http://www.labex-efl.org/). Il fait partie d'un projet plus large visant ? ?tudier la contribution de sources de connaissances pour l'extraction d'information, men? en commun entre le LIPN et le LATTICE dans le cadre du labex EFL.

LiLPa University of Strasbourg ? UNISTRA in collaboration with HERMAN PAUL SCHOOL of LINGUISTICS & ROMANISCHES SEMINAR UNIVERSIT?T FREIBURG COMPUTATIONAL LIGUISTICS AND PHONETICS SAARLAND UNIVERSITY SAARBR?CKEN LABORATOIRE LORRAIN DE RECHERCHE EN INFORMATIQUE ET SES APPLICATIONS NANCY 3 ? 5 July 2013 Strasbourg - France This international and interdisciplinary conference focuses on original and innovative work relating to methods of analysing empirical data, to the use and status of such data in the Linguistic Sciences. The conference concerns all types of data extracted from various sources (texts, sound recordings, multimedia, images, movies, web data, etc.), central to all areas of the linguistic sciences, as well as other scientific disciplines interested in linguistic issues (e.g. sciences and technologies contributing to the study, design and implementation of models of information systems, computer sciences, medicine, etc.). The conference is in line with certain issues related to the French ANR (National Research Agency) call for projects ?Corpus?. Setting up or elaborating corpora and databases, developing and using analysis and processing tools represent, for the various areas of the linguistic sciences, essential steps in their research endeavours. Conceptual models or tools contribute to theoretical breakthroughs and modelling of cognitive issues which are usually quite complex. Official Languages of the Conference: French and English Submission Modalities Proposals should indicate the following: - Title of the proposal - The summary of the study with relevant details - 4 to 5 keywords All contributions should not exceed 2 to 4 pages including references (Times 12, spacing, 1.5). Submissions will be done online and will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee of the Conference and by reviewers.

SIGIR 2013 will be held in Dublin, Ireland from 28 July - 1 August 2013. The Conference and Program Chairs invite all those working in areas related to IR to submit original short papers, and proposals for demonstrations. Note, that both short paper and demonstration submission guidelines have changed this year to allow more space for authors to present their ideas. Short Papers Short Paper submissions offer researchers an opportunity to present significant work in progress or research that is best communicated in an interactive or graphical format. Each submission that is accepted for SIGIR 2013 will be presented in a poster format, in order to provide researchers with an opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their work from a wide audience during the poster session. What makes a good short paper? Short papers are not full papers squeezed into four pages. They can present smaller or more speculative ideas, they could also be be more controversial, they may present new applications of old ideas or the reworking of previous studies. Finally, they should be inspirational and spark some discussion. Submissions are welcome in areas related to any aspect of Information Retrieval (IR), as identified in the call for contributions and on the SIGIR 2013 website. Submissions are short research papers presenting original, previously unpublished work. Submissions describing the work will be reviewed, and accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings. Short Paper Submission Content Guidelines Submissions of short papers must be in English, in PDF format and should not exceed 4 pages in SIGIR format (including references and figures). Suitable LaTeX and Word templates for SIGIR are available from the ACM Website (for LaTeX, use Option 2). Authors should conceal their identity. Submissions that are over the 4-page limit or are not anonymous or incomplete will be rejected without review. Note that summaries of full papers that have already been published elsewhere (including in another language) are not acceptable as short paper submissions for SIGIR. It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the PDF submission has been uploaded successfully. We suggest downloading the PDF after submission and ensuring it is ok. Submissions must be submitted electronically using the short paper track of the conference submission system (http://sigir2013-shortPaper.confmaster.net/). At least one author must register and attend the conference. Demonstrations Demonstrations present first-hand experience with research prototypes or operational systems. They provide opportunities to exchange ideas gained from implementing IR systems and to obtain feedback from expert users. Demonstration submissions are welcome in any of the areas related to any aspect of Information Retrieval (IR), as identified in the call for contributions and on the SIGIR 2013 website. The two-page demonstration submissions will appear in the conference proceedings. What makes a good demo? A good demonstration submission is interesting to a SIGIR audience and shows a novel solution to a problem. The demonstration submission should address the following questions. Who is your target user? Why does my system exist and why is it important? What does my demonstration do and how does it work? How does it compare with existing systems? Finally, how and when might my technology have an impact? Demonstration Submission Content Guidelines Submissions of demonstration papers must be in English and should not exceed 2 pages in SIGIR format (including references and figures). Suitable LaTeX and Word templates for SIGIR are available from the ACM Website (for LaTeX, use Option 2). It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the PDF submission has been uploaded successfully. We suggest downloading the PDF after submission and ensuring it is ok. Unlike short and full-paper submissions, authors of demonstration submissions are not expected to take measures to conceal their identity from reviewers. Submissions that are over the 2-page limit and incomplete submissions will be rejected without review. Demonstration papers must be submitted electronically via the demonstration track of the conference submission system (http://sigir2013-demo.confmaster.net/). At least one author must register and attend the conference. Wireless network access, along with a table and poster mount backdrop will be provided for accepted demonstrations. Important Dates - Short Paper and Demonstration submissions due: 18 February 2013. - Acceptance notification: 15 April 2013 - Conference in Dublin, Ireland, 28 July - 1 August 2013. Short Papers and Demos Co-Chairs - Udo Kruschwitz, University of Essex, United Kingdom - Cathal Gurrin, Dublin City University, Ireland.

Proposals are solicited for workshops to be held at ACM SIGIR 2013 being held in TCD, Dublin, Ireland. Workshops will usually last for one day and will be held on Thursday 1 August 2013. Workshop topics will typically match those identified in the SIGIR 2013 general call for participation, but proposals concerned with other areas of information retrieval are welcome. SIGIR 2013 workshops will provide a platform for presenting novel ideas and emerging areas in information retrieval in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conference itself. The format of each workshop is to be determined by the organizers, but it is expected that workshops will contain ample time for general discussion and engagement by all participants - not just those presenting papers. Workshops that foster collaboration, discussion, group problem-solving and community building initiatives are particularly encouraged. Workshops that only involve the presentation of papers in a ?mini conference? format are particularly discouraged. Researchers and practitioners from all areas of the information retrieval community are invited to submit proposals for review. The organizers of approved workshops will be expected to define the workshop's focus, gather and review submissions, and decide upon final program content. Organizers (including co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire workshop and to provide an article for ACM SIGIR Forum summarizing the event. Submission Requirements Workshop proposals should include the following information: 1. Title, theme and purpose of the workshop. 2. Motivation for the workshop and appropriateness to SIGIR. 3. Planned activities and a tentative schedule of events. 4. Selection process for participants and/or presenters and maximum number of participants (if limited). 5. Names of Organisers 6. Names of potential program committee members (who would act to organise the proposed workshop) (if a program committee will be formed). If the workshop has been held previously at SIGIR or another conference, then the organizers should indicate this and describe briefly past attendance and outcomes, and why another workshop is needed. The submission should also include a short biographical sketch of each organizer, describing relevant qualifications and experience. Proposals should be submitted via the easy chair workshop submission webpage (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigirws2013) in pdf format and should not exceed 1000 words. (Note: The word count limit only applies to the information prescribed (1-4) above and not to Names of organisers or potential workshop programme committee members).

In the context of a half-day lab at CLEF 2013, it offers two open challenges: Task 1: Multilingual question answering Task 2: Ontology lexicalization All relevant information about training and test phase as well as the lab can be found on the website: http://www.sc.cit-ec.uni-bielefeld.de/ild * Motivation & Scope * While more and more semantic data is published on the Web, the question of how typical Web users can access this body of knowledge becomes of crucial importance. Over the past years, there is a growing amount of research on interaction paradigms that allow end users to profit from the expressive power of Semantic Web standards while at the same time hiding their complexity behind an intuitive and easy-to-use interface. Especially natural language interfaces have received wide attention, as they allow users to express arbitrarily complex information needs in an intuitive fashion and, at least in principle, in their own language. The key challenge lies in translating the users' information needs into a form such that they can be evaluated using standard Semantic Web query processing and inferencing techniques. To this end, systems have to deal with a heterogeneous, distributed and very large set of highly interconnected data. The availability of such an amount of open and structured data has no precedents in computer science and approaches that can deal with the specific character of linked data are urgently needed. In addition, multilinguality has become an issue of major interest for the Semantic Web community, as both the number of actors creating and publishing data all in languages other than English, as well as the amount of users that access this data and speak native languages other than English is growing substantially. In order to achieve the goal that users from all countries have access to the same information, there is an impending need for systems that can help in overcoming language barriers by facilitating multilingual access to semantic data originally produced for a different culture and language. * Schedule * Release of training dataset and instructions: February 1, 2013 Release of test dataset: May 1, 2013 Submission deadline: May 31, 2013 Release of evaluation results: June 17, 2013 Deadline for workshop notes submission: August 1, 2013 Workshop: September, 2013 We cordially invite everyone working on question answering over linked data and/or ontology lexicalization to participate and look forward to an exciting, insightful and fair challenge!

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* March 15, 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 [6] Track* Fees:* Track participants must register at the main EPIA 2013 conference.

Les deux laboratoires font partie du PRES Paris-Sciences Lettres qui finance ce stage. Le stage vise ? analyser automatiquement ou semi-automatiquement le contenu textuel de documents traitant d'arch?ologie (rapports de fouille, m?moires, th?ses,...) afin d'en extraire des informations pertinentes pour constituer des index "intelligents". Ces index serviront eux-m?mes ? enrichir des applications de recherche d'information sp?cialis?es, afin notamment de fournir un acc?s ? partir de cartes g?ographiques (pour r?pondre par exemple ? des requ?tes telles que : "sur quels sites de la r?gion tourangelle a-t-on trouv? des tuiles ? rebord ?"). Le stage porte uniquement sur l'analyse textuelle des documents (et n'inclut donc pas les aspects li?s au syst?me d'information g?ographique). On s'int?ressera particuli?rement aux outils d'extraction d'information (extracteur de terminologie, analyseur d'entit?s nomm?es) et de structuration des connaissances (mise en place de liens entre termes, etc.). Les aspects pratiques seront privil?gi?s (mise en oeuvre des outils dans des environnements r?els, ?valuation de la facilit? d'utilisation pour des non sp?cialistes, etc). Une collaboration ?troite avec les interlocuteurs c?t? arch?ologie est indispensable. Un jeu de donn?es sera fourni ? l'?tudiant par le laboratoire AOROC. On s'assurera au d?but du stage des objectifs et de la faisabilit? des traitements en fonction du format du document fourni. Le stage se d?roulera ensuite en plusieurs temps : - ?tat de l'art du domaine : - relev? des outils existants, statut, utilisabilit? dans le contexte vis? - mise en oeuvre d'une maquette (r?alisation d'un index structur?) ? partir de documents fournis par le laboratoire d'arch?ologie - ?valuation, dialogue avec les utilisateurs potentiels - r?daction du rapport de stage * Comp?tences requises - connaissance d'outils d'extraction d'information (terminologie, entit?s nomm?es) - plus g?n?ralement, int?r?t pour le traitement automatique du langage naturel - connaissance d'un langage de programmation (perl, python) - int?r?t pour la mise en place de solutions applicatives, prise en compte des besoins utilisateurs - qualit? de r?daction en fran?ais et en anglais - un int?r?t pour l'arch?ologie serait un plus * Conditions : Le stage se d?roulera au laboratoire Lattice (? Montrouge, http://www.lattice.cnrs.fr/) pendant 6 mois, ? partir d'avril 2013 en ?troite collaboration avec le laboratoire AOROC (? l'ENS, 45 rue d'Ulm ? Paris). Ce stage est indemnis? suivant les r?gles en vigueur gr?ce au soutien du PRES Paris-Sciences Lettres. * Comment postuler ? Envoyer un CV et une lettre de motivation ?

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. Submissions ----------- We welcome submissions of long (8 pages) and short (4 pages) papers, posters, and demonstrations, relating to any aspect of linguistic annotation, including: (a) Annotation procedures: * Innovative automated and manual strategies for annotation * Machine learning and knowledge-based methods for automation of corpus annotation * Creation, maintenance, and interactive exploration of annotation structures and annotated data (b) Annotation evaluation: * Inter-annotator agreement and other evaluation metrics and strategies * Qualitative evaluation of linguistic representation (c) Annotation access and use: * Representation formats/structures for merged annotations of different phenomena, and means to explore/manipulate them * Linguistic considerations for merging annotations of distinct phenomena (d) Annotation guidelines and standards: * Best practices for annotation procedures and/or development and documentation of annotation schemes * Interoperability of annotation formats and/or frameworks among different systems as well as different tasks, frameworks, modalities, and languages (e) Annotation software and frameworks: * Development, evaluation and/or innovative use of annotation software frameworks (f) Annotation schemes: * New and innovative annotation schemes * Comparison of annotation schemes 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: 26 April 2013, 23:59 GMT. Papers submitted after the deadline will not be reviewed.

COMMUNICATIONS Enjeux actuels de la s?mantique distributionnelle Atelier TALN 2013 20e conf?rence sur le Traitement Automatique des Langues Naturelles Sables d?Olonne, 21 juin 2013 CALENDRIER - Date limite de soumission : 29 mars 2013 - Notification aux auteurs : 19 avril 2013 - Date limite de soumission des versions d?finitives : 3 mai 2013 PR?SENTATION DU CHAMP / TH?MATIQUES VIS?ES Les techniques d?analyse distributionnelle bas?es sur le mod?le harrissien sont aujourd?hui largement r?pandues. Elles sont fond?es sur le principe du calcul de la proximit? s?mantique entre mots sur la base des contextes qu?ils partagent dans un corpus donn?. Ce principe a donn? lieu ? des exp?rimentations nombreuses, principalement sur l?anglais mais ?galement sur d?autres langues, et des travaux de synth?se ont permis r?cemment de stabiliser les notions et les proc?dures relatives au calcul distributionnel (Sahlgren, 2006 ; Turney et Pantel, 2010 ; Baroni et Lenci 2010, etc.). Cette approche a b?n?fici? ces derni?res ann?es de la disponibilit? de grandes masses de donn?es textuelles et de capacit?s informatiques accrues pour les traiter, ce qui a permis d?exploiter ces m?thodes ? tr?s grande ?chelle. De nombreux champs de recherche restent ouverts dans ce domaine concernant la construction, la validation et l?exploitation des ressources s?mantiques g?n?r?es par ces m?thodes : Du point de vue de la construction des ressources, la question du corpus est centrale. S??loignant des hypoth?ses harrissiennes initiales sur le traitement de corpus sp?cialis?s, la tendance actuelle est ? la constitution de corpus les plus volumineux possible. Se pose pourtant la question de la nature du corpus, et de son impact sur les r?sultats. Un deuxi?me sujet important est la mod?lisation de la compositionnalit? s?mantique dans ce cadre distributionnel, pour prendre en compte la combinaison des mots simples dans des unit?s plus grandes (Mitchell et Lapata, 2008 ; Baroni & Zamparelli, 2010 ; Grefenstette & Sadrzadeh, 2011). D?autres aspects m?thodologiques sont ?galement soulev?s : l?optimisation des calculs, les types de contextes ? consid?rer, l?articulation avec les analyses syntaxiques exploit?es, etc. Du point de vue de l?interpr?tation, de l??valuation et de la validation des relations, beaucoup reste ? faire pour mieux comprendre la nature de la proximit? s?mantique qui est calcul?e par ces techniques et l?impact des param?tres distributionnels sur les relations de sens produites (Sahlgren 2006, Peirsman & Geeraerts 2009). Les relations entre mots s?av?rent en effet tr?s diverses (relations lexicales classiques, relations associatives, relations d?analogie, etc.). Par ailleurs, la taille des ressources g?n?r?es les rend difficiles ? explorer et ? appr?hender. Des syst?mes de visualisation et de manipulation graphiques adapt?s ? leur exploration peuvent permettre d?am?liorer la connaissance de leur contenu et de leur structure. Concernant enfin l?exploitation des ressources distributionnelles, celles-ci fournissent un indice de proximit? s?mantique tr?s pr?cieux pour diff?rentes applications (recherche d?information, r?sum? automatique, segmentation th?matique, etc.). De fait des traits distributionnels sont incorpor?s dans un nombre croissant de travaux touchant diff?rentes t?ches du TAL (classification d?entit?s nomm?es, calcul de paraphrase, etc.) (Kotlerman et al. 2010 ; Jonnalagadda et al. 2012). La linguistique gagnerait ?galement ? s?approprier plus largement ces techniques, qui permettent d??tudier ? large ?chelle les relations de sens qui op?rent dans un corpus. Nous attendons des soumissions portant sur l?ensemble des th?mes ?voqu?s ci-dessus et en particulier (liste non exhaustive) : - construction de ressources distributionnelles - mesures de similarit? s?mantique - impact des corpus sur le traitement distributionnel - compositionnalit? s?mantique - utilisation de bases distributionnelles pour l?analyse linguistique - rep?rage de relations s?mantiques sp?cifiques - exploitation de la proximit? distributionnelle dans des t?ches de TAL - optimisation du calcul de similarit? s?mantique - visualisation et manipulation graphique des espaces de mots 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.

It aims at attracting contributions from both fields. Though there exist large, well-known conferences including papers in any of these fields, SLSP is a more focused meeting where synergies between areas and people will hopefully happen.

Les donn?es de la recherche en questions" S?ance du mercredi 13 f?vrier 2013 Manipulation des donn?es scientifiques, Faux, plagiats et pillages Alain RIAZUELO Charg? de recherche au CNRS, Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris - Principal sujet de recherche : l'univers primordial Les anneaux de V?nus - ?l?ments de r?flexion sur les amours contrari?es des fr?res Bogdanov avec la science. Personnalit?s m?diatiques bien connues, les fr?res Igor et Grichka Bogdanov nourrissent depuis une vingtaine d'ann?es des ambitions scientifiques qui ont en plusieurs occasions suscit? la r?probation de certains chercheurs et de la presse sp?cialis?e, sans pour autant que cela n'alt?re leur popularit? ou leur statut revendiqu? de scientifiques brillants aupr?s du grand public. Dans ce s?minaire, je pr?senterai quelques ?l?ments de contexte visant ? rappeler le foss? qui s?pare la r?alit? acad?mique de l'image publique, et ?voquerai les difficult?s qu'ont les scientifiques ? se faire entendre face ? des personnalit?s rompues ? l'exercice m?diatique, b?n?ficiant d'un certain nombre de soutiens, et capables au besoin d'invoquer la loi comme substitut au d?bat scientifique. Genevi?ve KOUBI Professeur de Droit public, Universit? Paris Vincennes Saint-Denis CERSA-CNRS UMR 7106 L'id?e plus que le texte : le plagiat et l'autoplagiat. L'observation sur la multiplication des cas de ressemblance entre deux textes ou plus, entre deux ?tudes ou plus, entre deux d?monstrations ou plus, qui laisse planer le doute quant ? l'existence d'un plagiat, devient ?prouvante. Les affaires dites de ? plagiat ? semblent acqu?rir une couverture m?diatique de plus en plus ample sans pour autant conna?tre de solutions satisfaisantes. Cette mise en sc?ne qui s'accapare des objets de publicit?, livres, films, photographies, tableaux, etc., ne revient-elle pas ? occulter d'autres sujets, ceux qui justement s'emparent de la r?flexion, de l'analyse, des exp?riences, des ?tudes, de la pens?e, de la recherche donc ? Les termes de copie, de r?currence, de r?p?tition, d'intertextualit?, de reproduction, de contrefa?on, les expressions de copier-coller ou de r?utilisation d'un texte, de d?riv? linguistique etc. exposent les captations, les appropriations par autrui de la substance de l'id?e cr?atrice, de la pens?e novatrice, de l'originalit? de la r?flexion, de l'ind?pendance d'esprit, de l'inventivit? du raisonnement. Pourtant, il est une dimension substantielle sur laquelle tout reposerait : l'ant?riorit? d'un texte, d'un discours, d'une ?tude, d'un argument, d'un dire sur les autres. L'ant?c?dence d'une production, d'une publication ne peut syst?matiquement constituer une confirmation de la r?p?tition constat?e, du plagiat av?r?. Or, pour que la notion de plagiat prenne sens, il appara?t n?cessaire de rep?rer un ? avant-texte ? ? partir duquel ?valuer ressemblances et dissemblances, similitudes et diff?rences. Ceci s'effectue au risque de situer hors de port?e de l'analyse l'id?e-force, la pens?e-clef.

The workshop's goal is to aid students at multiple stages of their education: from those in the final stages of undergraduate training to those who are preparing their graduate thesis proposal. Towards this goal, we invite papers in two separate categories. 1. Thesis/Research Proposals: This category is appropriate for experienced students who wish to get feedback on their proposal and broader ideas for the field in order to strengthen their final research. 2. Research Papers: Most appropriate for students who are new to academic conferences. Papers in this category can describe completed work or work in progress with preliminary results. Subject to the availability of established researcher volunteers, each accepted paper will be assigned a mentor, who will provide feedback on the work to the student at the conference. Details on this service will be provided in the acceptance notification. TOPICS Relevant topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to, the following areas (in alphabetical order): Cognitive modeling of language processing and psycholinguistics Dialogue and interactive systems Discourse, coreference and pragmatics Evaluation methods Information retrieval Language resources Lexical semantics and ontologies Low resource language processing Machine translation: methods, applications and evaluation Multilinguality in NLP NLP applications NLP and creativity NLP for the languages of Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans NLP for the Web and social media Question answering Semantics Sentiment analysis, opinion mining and text classification Spoken language processing Statistical and Machine Learning methods in NLP Summarization and generation Syntax and parsing Tagging and chunking Text mining and information extraction Word segmentation SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submission is electronic using the conference management software at: https://www.softconf.com/acl2013/srw/.

However, the majority of the available Web content is still unstructured or semi-structured. As a general trend, unstructured data seems to be growing faster than structured data. According to a 2011 IDC study, unstructured data will account for 90 percent of all data created in the next decade. As the main goal of the Web of Data is to stimulate the emergence of new dedicated applications giving the machines ability to process information, there is a strong need to extract as far as possible structured data from unstructured content available on the web. Furthermore, structured data sources provide entity to entity interconnections, resulting in a Web of Linked Entities spanning structured and unstructured data. According to this, there is also a strong emergent need to study how to associate non structured content (like textual documents) and structured content (like RDF triples) with information retrieval, extraction, integration and exploration existing techniques. The WoLE workshop series envisions a Web of Linked Entities (WoLE), which transparently connects the World Wide Web (WWW) and the Giant Global Graph (GGG) using methods from Information Retrieval (IR), Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Database Systems (DB) research communities. The previous edition of WoLE workshop have shown that different methods involved in specific research tasks of those communities (like co-reference detection in NLP or information extraction in IR) can provide different ways to improve the web of Linked Entities content and its relation with unstructured documents. According to this, the primary goal of WoLE is to confront propositions from IR, NLP and DB research communities describing how their specific methods can improve quality of the Web data, structure its documents and help to explore its content. OBJECTIVES AND TOPICS (but are not limited to): * Text and web mining * Pattern and semantic analysis of natural language, reading the web, learning by reading * Large-scale information extraction * Usage mining * Entity resolution and automatic discovery of entities * Frequent pattern analysis of entities and/or relationships * Entity linking, named entity disambiguation, cross-document co-reference resolution * Ontology representation of natural language text * Analysis of ontology models for natural language text * Learning and refinement of ontologies * Natural language taxonomies modeled to Semantic Web ontologies * Disambiguation with the support of knowledge bases * Multilingual information extraction * Use cases of entity recognition for Linked Data applications * Relationship extraction, slot filling * Impact of entity linking on information retrieval, semantic search, entity oriented search * Semantic relatedness and similarity using entities and relations SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION: We invite submissions of full papers (max. 8 pages) and short papers (max. 4 pages). All submissions will be reviewed by at least three program committee members, and will be assessed based on their novelty, technical quality, potential impact, and clarity of writing. The workshop proceedings will be published through the ACM Digital Library. Please, submit in PDF format to: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wole2013. Submissions must: - be written in English; - contain author names, affiliations, and email addresses; - use the ACM SIG Proceedings template with the font size no smaller than 9pt (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates); - be in PDF (make sure that the PDF can be viewed on any platform); - be formatted for the US Letter size; It is authors? responsibility to ensure that their submission adhere strictly to the required format.

Ing?nierie des connaissances ? de l?unit? M?t at risk qui travaille en particulier sur la constitution de bases de connaissances et la construction d?ontologies et l??quipe ? Nutrition et m?tabolisme ? de l?unit? GMPA qui travaille en particulier sur l?objet d??tude de ce stage. Descriptif : La production et la stabilisation de cellules microbiennes est un enjeu majeur pour de nombreuses bio-industries, repr?sentant un march? de 144 milliards de dollars en 2010 et qui devrait atteindre 259 milliards de dollars en 2016. Les proc?d?s employ?s sont tr?s ?nergivores, et face au contexte ?nerg?tique actuel, des am?liorations voire des alternatives doivent ?tre envisag?es. Au-del? de la question de l??nergie, c?est la durabilit? du syst?me qui est mise en question, int?grant la dimension d??puisement des ressources (?nergie, eau, mati?res premi?res) mais aussi l?impact sur l?environnement (e.g. r?chauffement climatique) ou sur la sant? humaine (e.g. production de compos?s toxiques). Cependant, l'am?lioration de la durabilit? du proc?d? ne peut pas se faire sans tenir compte des contraintes sp?cifiques aux bioproduits, qui sont tr?s fragiles et subissent de fortes d?gradations au cours des proc?d?s. Les crit?res d'?valuation de la qualit? du bioproduit au cours des diff?rentes op?rations sont li?s ? l'?tat physiologique des cellules et mesurables ? diff?rents niveaux d'?chelle (g?n?tique, mol?culaire, cellulaire, population). L'int?gration des diff?rents crit?res (qualit? du bioproduit, performance du proc?d?, impact environnemental) pour optimiser globalement le syst?me est n?cessaire pour d?velopper des proc?d?s plus durables tout en pr?servant la qualit? des micro-organismes.

Papers will be presented in plenary or topic oriented sessions.One day of the conference will be dedicated to tutorials and workshops. Social events including a trip in the vicinity of Pilsen will allow additional informal interactions. Details about the social event will be available on the web page. SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Authors are invited to submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages formatted in the LNCS style (see below). Those accepted will be presented either orally or as posters. The decision on the presentation format will be based upon the recommendation of three independent reviewers. The authors are asked to submit their papers using the on-line submission form accessible from the conference web site. Papers submitted to TSD 2013 must not be under review by any other conference or publication during the TSD review cycle, and must not be previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere. As the reviewing is blind, the paper should not include authors' name and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations, such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Papers that do not conform to the requirements above are determined to be rejected without review. The authors are strongly encouraged to write their papers in TeX (plain) or LaTeX formats. These formats are necessary for the final versions of the papers that will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes. Authors using a MS Word-compatible software for the final version must use the LNCS template for MS Word and within the submit process ask the Proceedings Editors to convert the paper to the LaTeX format. For this service a service-and-license fee of CZK 1500 will be levied automatically. The paper format for the review has to be either the PDF or PostScript file with all required fonts included. Upon notification of acceptance, speakers will receive further information on submitting their camera-ready and electronic sources (for detailed instructions on the final paper format see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). Authors are also invited to present actual projects, a developed software or interesting materials relevant to the topics of the conference.

LOCATION The city of Plzen (Pilsen) is situated in Western Bohemia at the confluence of four rivers. With its 170,000 inhabitants it is the fourth largest city in the Czech Republic and an important industrial, commercial, and administrative centre. It is also the capital of the Pilsen Region. In addition, it has been selected as the European capital of culture for 2015 by the Council of the European Union. Pilsen is well-known for its brewing tradition. The trademark Pilsner-Urquell has a good reputation all over the world thanks to the traditional recipe, high quality hops and good groundwater. Beer lovers will also appreciate a visit to the Brewery Museum or the Brewery itself. Apart from its delicious beer, Pilsen hides lots of treasures in its core. The city can boast the second largest synagogue in Europe. The dominant of the old part of the city center is definitely the 13th-century Gothic cathedral featuring the highest tower in Bohemia (102.34 m). It is possible to go up and admire the view of the city. Not far from the cathedral is the splendid Renaissance Town Hall from 1558 and plenty of pleasant cafes and pubs are situated on and around the main square. There is also the beautiful Pilsen Historical Underground - under the city center, a complex network of passageways and cellars can be found. They are about 14 km long and visitors can see the most beautiful part of this labyrinth during the tour. It is recommended to visit the City Zoological Garden, having the second largest space for bears in Europe and keeping several Komodo dragons, large lizards which exist only in a few zoos in the world. The University of West Bohemia in Pilsen provides a variety of courses for both Czech and international students. It is the only institution of higher education in this part of the country which prepares students for careers in engineering (electrical and mechanical), science (computer science, applied mathematics, physics, and mechanics), education (both primary and secondary), economics, philosophy, politics, archeology, anthropology, foreign languages, law and public administration, art and design. GETTING THERE The city has access from the D5 motorway connecting Prague (Praha) with Germany. Pilsen has very good bus and train connections with the capital of Prague (it takes about 1 - 1.5 hour to get from Prague to Pilsen). >From Vaclav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) you can reach Pilsen by frequent public transport in 1.5 - 2 hours. ACCOMMODATION The organising committee has arranged accommodation for reasonable prices in the angelo Hotel Pilsen, which is situated in the city center in walking distance from the main railway station and opposite to the historical entrance of the Pilsner Urquell Brewery. There are a lot of restaurants in hotel neighbourhood offering specialities of national and foreign cuisine. Student halls of residence will be also available at the time of conference.

Clavel Message-ID: Mod?le d?engagement dans une interaction avec un agent virtuel * * *R?sum?* Le stage s?inscrit dans le projet A1:1 (Avatar ?chelle 1:1) qui vise ? porter l?interaction entre l?humain et un agent virtuel ? un niveau in?gal? de pr?sence, d??motion et d?engagement? Le projet inclus une approche nouvelle de captation des signaux de l?humain, (y compris l?expression du visage et le regard) et l?interpr?tation multimodale de ces signaux ainsi qu?un mod?le d?agent virtuel capable d?imiter des signaux de l?humain. *Objectifs* L'engagement est consid?r?, par Sidner et al. (2004), comme ?the process by which two (or more) participants establish, maintain and end their perceived connection during interactions they jointly undertake? (le processus par lequel deux (ou plusieurs) des participants ?tablissent, maintiennent et mettent fin ? leur connexion per?ue au cours des interactions qu'ils entreprennent conjointement). Ainsi, pour montrer l'engagement, un agent virtuel doit ?tre dot? de m?canismes qui lui permettent de percevoir, d'adapter et de g?n?rer des comportements appropri?s au cours d'une interaction sociale donn?e. L?engagement englobe plusieurs ph?nom?nes complexes tels que la notion d?alignement, les liens sociaux, et l'empathie. Il peut ?tre consid?r? comme une mesure quantitative de la fa?on dont l'interaction se passe, se situe entre les ?tres humains ou entre l'homme et la machine. Il peut se manifester ? travers un large spectre d'actes intentionnels allant des strat?gies de dialogue au mim?tisme du comportement (par exemple sourire). Le stage visera ? d?velopper un mod?le d?engagement entre humain et agent virtuel. Elle se focalisera en particulier ? donner aux agents la capacit? d?imiter les comportements de son interlocuteur humain, de r?pondre ? ses signaux sociaux (Vinciarelli et al, ? para?tre) et d?en envoyer. Le mim?tisme peut avoir lieu avec un bas niveau de conscience. Il peut ?tre d?fini comme la tendance ? l'imitation des comportements lors de l'interaction. Il s?applique surtout pour l'expression du visage, la qualit? vocale et la posture du corps (Hess et al, 1999). Alors que le mim?tisme implique la notion de comportement synchrone, la fen?tre de temps de cette synchronicit? doit ?tre prudemment d?finie. Par exemple, la plupart des imitations du sourire comme celles des gestes se superposent dans le temps (Kimbara, 2006) ; de m?me l?alignement lexical peut ?tre vu sur plusieurs tours de parole. Le stage se focalisera sur l?imitation d?une des modalit?s d?expressions.

"M?thodes d?analyse s?mantique statistique pour l?extraction de connaissances ? partir de corpus semi-annot?s". Merci de consulter l'offre r?dig?e ci-apr?s et, le cas ?ch?ant de postuler par retour de mail ou sur le site de l'ABG ? l'adresse suivante : http://www.intelliagence.fr/Page/Offer/ShowOffer.aspx?OfferId=46980. Cordialement, Romain Laroche ft/nsm/rd/tech/asap/nadia Ing?nieur de recherche sur les syst?mes de dialogue Research engineer on dialogue systems phone: 01 45 29 62 77 romain.laroche at orange-ftgroup.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TITRE : M?thodes d?analyse s?mantique statistique pour l?extraction de connaissances ? partir de corpus semi-annot?s MOTS CLEFS : Analyse s?mantique, Apprentissage actif, Interaction Homme-Machine, Dialogue naturel CONTEXTE : Le sujet de post-doctorat se rapporte ? la probl?matique de l?analyse s?mantique dans les syst?mes dialogue en g?n?ral. L?analyse s?mantique consiste ? transformer un ?nonc? dans une interpr?tation (cat?gorie s?mantique) pour permettre au syst?me de dialogue de poursuivre ses calculs. L?analyseur s?mantique de Disserto s?appuie sur une approche ? base de r?gles. Le traitement s?effectue en deux ?tapes : ?tiqueter les mots en ? tags ?, puis appliquer les r?gles s?mantiques appropri?es aux tags, de telle mani?re qu?une combinaison ou association donn?e de tags fournisse une interpr?tation correcte. Ce principe d?analyse s?mantique ? base de r?gles d??tiquetage et d?association peut ?tre utilis? dans n?importe quelle langue. Cependant, cette m?thode est manuelle et n?cessite l?intervention d?un d?veloppeur (knowledge engineer). Ce dernier va analyser un corpus de phrases issues d?interactions de diff?rents utilisateurs avec le service de dialogue, afin d??laborer les r?gles d?analyse s?mantiques les plus pertinentes. Les phrases contenues dans ce type de corpus peuvent ?tre : - non annot?es (par exemple lorsqu?elles sont issues des logs d?un service en exploitation) - annot?es manuellement par un op?rateur : par exemple dans le cas de service mettant en ?uvre des fonctions de magicien d?Oz sur la reconnaissance vocale (on parle alors de Reconnaissance Vocal Assist?e par Op?rateur) ou sur l?analyse s?mantique (illustr?e dans l?application DissertOz). Le r?le du post-doctorant sera de d?velopper de nouveaux algorithmes et de fournir les outils associ?s qui permettent de faciliter et d?optimiser le travail du d?veloppeur lors de l??laboration des r?gles d?analyse s?mantique de Disserto. Les travaux du post-doctorant seront men?s sur 2 champs : - la s?lection automatique des phrases les plus pertinentes ? prendre en compte pour la d?finition des nouvelles r?gles d?analyse s?mantique: phrases avec de nouveaux mots, tags, r?gles ou interpr?tations. - l??tude des ?nonc?s conduisant ? une interpr?tation erron?e de l?analyseur de mani?re ? identifier des termes communs, ? donner des explications de l?erreur et ? d?tecter les ?nonc?s ? poubelle ? ? rejeter (trash). Ce sujet est la suite d?un travail accompli par l?universit? de Pozna? en 2011 et 2012 dans le cadre d?un contrat de recherche externe sous la direction d?Orange. TACHES : Prendre en main les algorithmes d?velopp?s par l?universit? de Pozna? et les am?liorer : - Calcul de score de confiance de la classification de l?analyseur s?mantique pour un ?nonc? donn? - Identification de r?gles d?association liant les formes des ?nonc?s aux erreurs de classification de l?analyseur s?mantique - D?tection des ?nonc?s poubelle Sur la base de corpus non-annot?s de taille gigantesque (plusieurs millions d??nonc?s) et de corpus annot?s de taille r?duite (plusieurs milliers d??nonc?s), d?finir un algorithme d?apprentissage actif permettant : - de rep?rer les ? trous ? d?annotation, c'est-?-dire les formes d??nonc?s fr?quentes du corpus non-annot?s qui ne sont pas, ou peu, repr?sent? dans le corpus annot? - de pr?dire les ?nonc?s les plus pertinents pour ?tre annot?s, sur la base du calcul de score de confiance en l?analyseur s?mantique - de s?lectionner l?ensemble optimal de n ?nonc?s ? annoter, en ?vitant les redondances et en contr?lant que les informations apport?es par ces annotations se compl?tent. R?diger un rapport d??tude sur les m?thodes et algorithmes d?velopp?s lors de cette ?tude et sur leur ?valuation.

Il s'agit ? ce jour d'un outil tr?s modulaire capable de faire l'analyse (tokenisation, analyse morphologique, syntaxique et s?mantique) de textes dans des langues aussi diverses que le Fran?ais, l'Anglais, l'Arabe, le Chinois, l'Espagnol, l'Allemand ou encore l'Italien. LIMA repr?sente ? ce jour plus de 100.000 lignes de code (sans compter les ressources linguistiques). LIMA est d?j? utilis? dans plusieurs produits industriels, mais le CEA LIST a d?cid? de le diffuser sous une licence libre pour faciliter son utilisation, sa diffusion et obtenir des retours plus rapides d'une communaut? d'utilisateurs plus large. LIMA est cod? en C++ standard. Il utilise largement les bilioth?ques boost et Qt. Il est multi-plateformes (GNU/Linux et MS Windows ? ce jour). Son architecture le rend tr?s facilement extensible et int?grable dans des applications. Objectifs Cette lib?ration, qui se fait dans le cadre du projet ANR ASFALDA [2], n?cessite d'am?liorer encore le logiciel avant de le diffuser, et ce sur plusieurs aspects: - documentation des API ; - documentation utilisateur ; - tests unitaires ; - tests fonctionnels. LIMA d?pend de ressources linguistiques pour fonctionner (dictionnaires, r?gles d'analyse,...). M?me si le laboratoire est propri?taire de certaines d'entre elles, d'autres sont issues de ressources commerciales et ne peuvent ?tre diffus?es librement. Il faudra donc produire des ressources de remplacement ? partir de ressources linguistiques libres disponibles. Le travail du stagiaire consistera ? intervenir sur ces diff?rents sujets (codage, documentation et ressources) en vue de la mise ? disposition de LIMA sur une forge logicielle ? la fin du stage. Le ou la candidat(e) retenu(e) aura un bon niveau en C++, une compr?hension des probl?matiques li?es ? la diffusion des logiciels (tests, documentation...) et id?alement aura particip? ? un projet de logiciel libre. Le stage se d?roulera dans les locaux du LVIC situ?s ? Nano-INNOV ? Palaiseau (pr?s de Polytechnique, Sup'Optique, Thales et Danone).

SIGIR 2013 will be held in Dublin, Ireland from 28 July - 1 August 2013. The Conference and Program Chairs invite all those working in areas related to IR to submit original short papers, and proposals for demonstrations. Note, that both short paper and demonstration submission guidelines have changed this year to allow more space for authors to present their ideas. Short Papers Short Paper submissions offer researchers an opportunity to present significant work in progress or research that is best communicated in an interactive or graphical format. Each submission that is accepted for SIGIR 2013 will be presented in a poster format, in order to provide researchers with an opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their work from a wide audience during the poster session. What makes a good short paper? Short papers are not full papers squeezed into four pages. They can present smaller or more speculative ideas, they could also be be more controversial, they may present new applications of old ideas or the reworking of previous studies. Finally, they should be inspirational and spark some discussion. Submissions are welcome in areas related to any aspect of Information Retrieval (IR), as identified in the call for contributions and on the SIGIR 2013 website. Submissions are short research papers presenting original, previously unpublished work. Submissions describing the work will be reviewed, and accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings. Short Paper Submission Content Guidelines Submissions of short papers must be in English, in PDF format and should not exceed 4 pages in SIGIR format (including references and figures). Suitable LaTeX and Word templates for SIGIR are available from the ACM Website (for LaTeX, use Option 2). Authors should conceal their identity. Submissions that are over the 4-page limit or are not anonymous or incomplete will be rejected without review. Note that summaries of full papers that have already been published elsewhere (including in another language) are not acceptable as short paper submissions for SIGIR. It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the PDF submission has been uploaded successfully. We suggest downloading the PDF after submission and ensuring it is ok. Submissions must be submitted electronically using the short paper track of the conference submission system (http://sigir2013-shortPaper.confmaster.net/). At least one author must register and attend the conference. Demonstrations Demonstrations present first-hand experience with research prototypes or operational systems. They provide opportunities to exchange ideas gained from implementing IR systems and to obtain feedback from expert users. Demonstration submissions are welcome in any of the areas related to any aspect of Information Retrieval (IR), as identified in the call for contributions and on the SIGIR 2013 website. The two-page demonstration submissions will appear in the conference proceedings. What makes a good demo? A good demonstration submission is interesting to a SIGIR audience and shows a novel solution to a problem. The demonstration submission should address the following questions. Who is your target user? Why does my system exist and why is it important? What does my demonstration do and how does it work? How does it compare with existing systems? Finally, how and when might my technology have an impact? Demonstration Submission Content Guidelines Submissions of demonstration papers must be in English and should not exceed 2 pages in SIGIR format (including references and figures). Suitable LaTeX and Word templates for SIGIR are available from the ACM Website (for LaTeX, use Option 2). It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the PDF submission has been uploaded successfully. We suggest downloading the PDF after submission and ensuring it is ok. Unlike short and full-paper submissions, authors of demonstration submissions are not expected to take measures to conceal their identity from reviewers. Submissions that are over the 2-page limit and incomplete submissions will be rejected without review. Demonstration papers must be submitted electronically via the demonstration track of the conference submission system (http://sigir2013-demo.confmaster.net/). At least one author must register and attend the conference. Wireless network access, along with a table and poster mount backdrop will be provided for accepted demonstrations. Important Dates - Short Paper and Demonstration submissions due: 18 February 2013. - Acceptance notification: 15 April 2013 - Conference in Dublin, Ireland, 28 July - 1 August 2013.

Proposals are solicited for workshops to be held at ACM SIGIR 2013 being held in TCD, Dublin, Ireland. Workshops will usually last for one day and will be held on Thursday 1 August 2013. Workshop topics will typically match those identified in the SIGIR 2013 general call for participation, but proposals concerned with other areas of information retrieval are welcome. SIGIR 2013 workshops will provide a platform for presenting novel ideas and emerging areas in information retrieval in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conference itself. The format of each workshop is to be determined by the organizers, but it is expected that workshops will contain ample time for general discussion and engagement by all participants - not just those presenting papers. Workshops that foster collaboration, discussion, group problem-solving and community building initiatives are particularly encouraged. Workshops that only involve the presentation of papers in a ?mini conference? format are particularly discouraged. Researchers and practitioners from all areas of the information retrieval community are invited to submit proposals for review. The organizers of approved workshops will be expected to define the workshop's focus, gather and review submissions, and decide upon final program content. Organizers (including co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire workshop and to provide an article for ACM SIGIR Forum summarizing the event. Submission Requirements Workshop proposals should include the following information: 1. Title, theme and purpose of the workshop. 2. Motivation for the workshop and appropriateness to SIGIR. 3. Planned activities and a tentative schedule of events. 4. Selection process for participants and/or presenters and maximum number of participants (if limited). 5. Names of Organisers 6. Names of potential program committee members (who would act to organise the proposed workshop) (if a program committee will be formed). If the workshop has been held previously at SIGIR or another conference, then the organizers should indicate this and describe briefly past attendance and outcomes, and why another workshop is needed. The submission should also include a short biographical sketch of each organizer, describing relevant qualifications and experience. Proposals should be submitted via the easy chair workshop submission webpage in pdf format and should not exceed 1000 words. (Note: The word count limit only applies to the information prescribed (1-4) above and not to Names of organisers or potential workshop programme committee members).

Les langues r?gionales sont g?n?ralement ? ranger dans cette cat?gorie, car les ressources ?lectroniques pour ces langues sont rares, peu visibles et sous exploit?es, parfois inexistantes. Doter ces langues de ressources ?lectroniques (notamment de corpus ?crits, de lexiques et de dictionnaires) est un enjeu consid?rable pour leur diffusion, leur enseignement, leur sauvegarde, leur normalisation... Il est, entre autres, n?cessaire de d?velopper des corpus ?crits, les plus repr?sentatifs possibles des usages de la langue, en rassemblant des ?uvres ?crites de diff?rents genres (litt?rature, th??tre, po?sie, conte, presse...) et, pour certaines langues, en accueillant la variation (dialectale, phonologique, graphique). La seconde ?tape consiste logiquement ? enrichir ces corpus d?annotations. L'?laboration des corpus annot?s pour les langues r?gionales soul?ve de nombreuses questions m?thodologiques. Il n'est notamment pas toujours possible de transposer directement les mod?les existants pour les langues tr?s dot?es, notamment en raison des variations dialectales et phonologiques et du manque de standardisation graphique. Les corpus sont ?galement une base n?cessaire pour l'?laboration des dictionnaires, lexiques et glossaires. Sur le plan linguistique, les corpus sont n?cessaires pour la description des usages r?els d'une langue. Et en contre-partie, sur le plan technique, les dictionnaires et les lexiques sont n?cessaires pour accompagner l??laboration des corpus (reconnaissance optique de caract?res, lemmatisation et analyse morpho-syntaxique). Lorsque ces ressources existent d?j? pour une langue (dictionnaires, lexiques, glossaires bilingues couplant une langue r?gionale et une langue nationale), il se pose la question de la mutualisation des informations contenues dans ces ressources, de l'enrichissement de ses donn?es avec des informations suppl?mentaires (phon?tiques, morpho-syntaxiques, syntaxiques?) et de leur utilisation dans des outils de TAL. Corpus et lexiques sont enfin n?cessaires pour le d?veloppement d'outils de traitement automatique des langues (analyse morpho-syntaxique, syntaxique?). Au-del? des difficult?s techniques et m?thodologiques, il ne faut pas n?gliger les difficult?s plus pragmatiques li?es au manque de ressources financi?res et humaines pour mener ? bien la constitution de ressources. Cet atelier a pour but de r?unir des chercheurs qui participent ? la constitution de ressources linguistiques et d'outils "de base" du TAL pour les langues r?gionales de France et d?Europe afin de partager nos questionnements et nos m?thodologies, de mutualiser nos r?flexions et les techniques d?velopp?es. Nous appelons ? la soumission de travaux de recherche autour de la constitution de ressources et d'outils pour des langues r?gionales ou minoritaires de France et d?Europe (y compris les langues d?Outre Mer), sur les th?matiques suivantes (sans s?y limiter): v Ressources : ? Constitution de corpus ?crits ? Elaboration de lexiques, dictionnaires, glossaires v Outils : ? Outils pour la num?risation, l?oc?risation et le codage des textes ?

Regional languages generally fall into this category, as electronic resources for these languages are rare and sometimes non-existent. Providing electronic resources for these languages (including written corpora, lexicons and dictionaries) is a major asset for supporting their dissemination, teaching, preservation or standardization. It is, among others, necessary to develop written corpora, which are the most representative of language use, by collecting written works of various genres (literature, theater, poetry, storytelling, press ...) and, for some languages, by taking variation into account (dialectal, phonological or graphical variations). The second step is logically to enrich the corpora with annotations. The development of annotated corpora for regional languages raises many methodological issues. It is not always possible to directly transpose existing models for resource-rich languages, partly because of dialectal and phonological variation and the lack of writing standards. The corpora are also a basis for the development of dictionaries, lexicons and glossaries and are necessary for the description of the actual use of a language. On the other hand, dictionaries and lexicons are needed to support the development of the corpora (optical character recognition, lemmatization and morpho-syntactic analysis). When these resources already exist for a language (dictionaries, lexicons, bilingual glossaries coupling a regional and a national language), the question arises as to how information contained in these resources can be shared and possibly be enriched with additional annotations (phonetic, morphosyntactic, syntactic, ...). Finally, corpora and lexicons are necessary for the development of natural language processing tools (morpho-syntactic analysis or syntactic analyzers ...). Beyond the technical and methodological challenges, the more pragmatic difficulties related to the lack of financial and human resources to carry out the creation of resources should not be neglected. This workshop aims to bring together researchers involved in the creation of language resources and "basic" NLP tools for French and European regional languages, in order to share their views, methodologies and techniques. We invite submission of papers on the constitution of resources and tools for regional or minority languages of France and Europe (including languages from overseas departments and territories of France). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: v Resources: ? Written corpus builing ? Development of lexicons, dictionaries, glossaries v Tools : ? Scanning, OCR and text encoding ? Linguistic annotations (manual and automatic for morpho-syntactic or syntactic analysis,...) ? Corpus management and query v Articulation between theory and practice when dealing with variation** *IMPORTANT DATES* - Paper submission deadline: March 29, 2013 - Notification of paper acceptance : April 19, 2013 - Deadline for camera-ready versions: May 3, 2013 *PAPER SUBMISSION* Papers will be written in French for French-speaking authors or English for non-French-speaking authors. They should have from 12 to 14 pages in the TALN 2013 format. A LaTeX style file and a MS Word template are available on the conference website (http://www.taln2013.org/soumettre/). Selected articles will be allocated 30 minutes for the oral presentation (including discussion). Authors should submit the papers in PDF through the submission page at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=talare2013** *SELECTION CRITERIA* The selection criteria will be the same as those that apply for TALN 2013 research articles. *ORGANIZING COMMITTEE* Marianne Vergez-Couret CLLE-ERSS, Universit? de Toulouse 2 Delphine Bernhard LILPA, Universit? de Strasbourg Jean-Michel Eloy LESCLAP, Universit? de Picardie Christophe Rey LESCLAP, Universit? de Picardie *PROGRAM COMMITTEE (in progress)* *Contact* : Marianne Vergez-Couret (vergez at univ-tlse2.fr) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Feb 16 20:01:08 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2013 21:01:08 +0100 Subject: Ressources: ELRA - Language Resources Catalogue - Update Message-ID: Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2013 10:45:27 +0100 From: ELRA ELDA Information Message-ID: <511CB237.1020004 at elda.org> X-url: http://catalog.elra.info/product_info.php?products_id=1194&language=en X-url: http://catalog.elra.info/product_info.php?products_id=1195&language=en Our apologies if you have received multiple copies of this announcement. ***************************************************************** ELRA - Language Resources Catalogue - Update ***************************************************************** ELRA is happy to announce that QUAERO Structured Named Entity Language Resources are now available in its catalogue.

Cependant, et en d?pit des bons r?sultats obtenus, ces corpus demeurent des ressources rares, notamment pour les domaines sp?cialis?s et pour des couples de langues ne faisant pas intervenir l?anglais. Pour ces diff?rentes raisons, les recherches en extraction de lexiques bilingues se sont pench?es sur une autre sorte de corpus bilingue compos? de documents partageant diff?rentes caract?ristiques telles que le domaine, le genre, la p?riode... sans ?tre en correspondance de traduction (Bowker & Pearson, 2002) : les corpus comparables. Si les corpus comparables sont des ressources bien plus abondantes que les corpus parall?les, les lexiques bilingues extraits ? partir de corpus comparables sont d?une qualit? bien inf?rieure ? ce qui peut ?tre obtenu ? partir de corpus parall?les. Cette diff?rence s?explique principalement par l?absence d??l?ment d?ancrage dans les corpus comparables (l?alignement pr?alable de paragraphes, de cognats? n?est pas possible avec ce type de corpus). Pour pallier cette difficult? plusieurs strat?gies se d?gagent actuellement : 1. Am?liorer la qualit? des corpus comparables en termes de comparabilit? pour am?liorer la qualit? des lexiques extraits (Sharoff, 2007) (G?uriot, Grabar, & Daille, 2008), (Li & Gaussier, 2010). 2. Agir sur les m?thodes d?extraction de lexiques bilingues ? partir de corpus comparables (Fung & McKeown, 1997) (Rapp, 1999) (Chiao & Zweigenbaum, 2002) (D?jean, Gaussier, & Sadat, 2002) (Morin E. , Daille, Takeuchi, & Kageura, 2007) (Laroche & Langlais, 2010) (Prochasson & Fung, 2011) 3. Am?liorer la qualit? des r?sultats propos?s par les techniques d?extraction de lexiques bilingues en tenant compte de leur contexte d?utilisation (Delpech, 2011).

A tutorial on sentic computing will be delivered at the IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Agents (this April in Singapore), the World Wide Web conference (this May in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil), and the IADIS International Conference WWW/INTERNET (this October in Fort Worth, Texas). For more information, please visit the respective conference websites. AIMS AND SCOPE The focus of the tutorial is sentic computing [1], a multi-disciplinary approach to sentiment analysis at the crossroads between affective computing and common sense computing, which exploits both computer and social sciences to better recognise, interpret, and process opinions and sentiments over the Web. The main aim of the tutorial is to discuss ways to further develop and apply publicly available [2] sentic computing resources for the development of applications in fields such as big social data analysis [3], human-computer interaction [4], and e-health [5]. To this end, the tutorial will provide means to efficiently handle sentic computing models, e.g., the Hourglass of Emotions [6], techniques, e.g., sentic activation [7], tools, e.g., SenticNet [8] and IsaCore [9], and services, e.g., Sentic API [10]. The tutorial will also include insights resulting from the forthcoming IEEE Intelligent System Special Issue on Concept-Level Opinion and Sentiment Analysis [11] and a hands-on session to illustrate how to build a sentic-computing-based opinion mining engine step-by-step.

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 Social 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. Mining opinions and sentiments from natural language, however, is an extremely difficult task as it involves a deep understanding of most of the explicit and implicit, regular and irregular, syntactical and semantic rules proper of a language. Existing approaches mainly rely on parts of text in which opinions and sentiments are explicitly expressed such as polarity terms, 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 sentic computing, whose term derives from the Latin sentire (root of words such as sentiment and sentience) and sensus (intended both as capability of feeling and as common sense), the analysis of natural language is based on affective ontologies and common sense reasoning tools, which enable the analysis of text not only at document-, page- or paragraph-level, but also at sentence-, clause-, and concept-level. In particular, sentic computing involves the use of AI and Semantic Web techniques, for knowledge representation and inference; mathematics, for carrying out tasks such as graph mining and multi-dimensionality reduction; linguistics, for discourse analysis and pragmatics; psychology, for cognitive and affective modeling; sociology, for understanding social network dynamics and social influence; finally ethics, for understanding related issues about the nature of mind and the creation of emotional machines. TUTORIAL PROGRAM I) Introduction II) New Avenues in Sentiment Analysis Research - From Heuristics to Discourse Structure - From Coarse- to Fine-Grained Analysis - From Keywords to Concepts III) Sentic Computing Models - The Hourglass of Emotions - AffectiveSpace IV) Sentic Computing Techniques - Sentic Medoids - Sentic Activation - Sentic Panalogy V) Sentic Computing Tools - SenticNet - IsaCore - Sentic Neurons VI) Building a Sentic Engine - Sentic Parser - Sentic API - Application Samples VII) Conclusion TARGET AUDIENCE AND PREREQUISITES The target audience includes researchers and professionals in the fields of sentiment analysis, Web data mining, and related areas. The tutorial also aims to attract researchers from industry community as it covers research efforts for the development of applications in fields such as commerce, tourism, education, and health. We expect the audience to have basic computer science skills, but psychologists and sociologists are also very welcome. Participants will learn not only state-of-the-art approaches to concept-level sentiment analysis, but also sentic computing techniques and tools to be used for practical opinion mining.

PARTICIPATION ======================================================== Le d?fi DEFT est un atelier annuel d'?valuation francophone en fouille de textes. Cette neuvi?me ?dition portera sur l'analyse automatique des recettes de cuisine en langue fran?aise. Site Web : http://deft.limsi.fr/2013/ Comit? d'organisation : - pr?sidents : Cyril Grouin (LIMSI-CNRS) et Dominic Forest (EBSI, Universit? de Montr?al) - contact : deft at limsi.fr Nous abordons cette ann?e un nouveau domaine d'application sur une th?matique ? la mode en ce moment, qui a d?j? fait par le pass? l'objet d'une campagne d'?valuation (Computer Cooking Contest) : les recettes de cuisine. Nous nous int?ressons dans DEFT2013 ? deux types de fonction d'analyse du langage, la classification de documents (t?ches 1 ? 3) et l'extraction d'information (t?che 4), ceci dans un domaine de sp?cialit?. Pour cette nouvelle ?dition du d?fi, nous proposons quatre t?ches d'analyse concernant les recettes de cuisine : - Identifier ? partir du titre et du texte de la recette son niveau de difficult? sur une ?chelle ? 4 niveaux : tr?s facile, facile, moyennement difficile, difficile. - Identifier ? partir du titre et du texte de la recette le type de plat pr?par? : entr?e, plat principal, dessert. - Apparier le texte d'une recette ? son titre. - Extraire du titre et du texte d'une recette la liste de ses ingr?dients. DATES IMPORTANTES (calendrier pr?visionnel) ------------------------------------------- - inscription : 15 f?vrier 2013 - diffusion des corpus d'apprentissage : 25 f?vrier 2013 - phase de test : 3 jours ? choisir pendant la semaine du 22 au 28 avril 2013 - atelier de cl?ture : 21 juin 2013 pendant TALN/RECITAL 2013. PR?SENTATION ------------ === T?che 1 - Niveau de difficult? de r?alisation d'une recette La t?che 1 a pour but d'?valuer la capacit? d'un algorithme ? inf?rer la difficult? d'une recette de cuisine en se basant sur toutes les informations qu'il est possible d'extraire ? partir du texte de la recette et de son titre. Les donn?es d'apprentissage seront constitu?es d'un corpus de recettes associ?es ? leur appr?ciation de difficult? sur une ?chelle ? 4 valeurs : - tr?s facile, - facile, - moyennement difficile, - tr?s difficile. La mesure d'?valuation sera calcul?e ? partir de la distance entre la r?ponse du syst?me et la bonne r?ponse. === T?che 2 - Type de plat La t?che 2 propose de classer les recettes en fonction du type de plat pr?par?, selon une partition en trois classes : - entr?e, - plat principal, - dessert. Les sources d'information ? consid?rer seront le titre et le texte de la recette. La mesure d'?valuation sera calcul?e comme la moyenne des pr?cisions par classe, chacune calcul?e avec une micro-moyenne. === T?che 3 - Appariement titre/recette La t?che 3 demandera au syst?me de retrouver pour chaque texte de recette du corpus ? traiter, son titre original dans une liste de titres de recettes. Pour chaque texte de recette, le syst?me devra fournir une liste de titres par ordre de pertinence d?croissante. La mesure d'?valuation sera bas?e sur un calcul de Mean Average Precision (MAP) ou de Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR). Notez que l'emploi de mesures annexes (non prises en compte pour le classement final) sera explor? afin de prendre en compte de similarit? textuelle ou s?mantique entre les titres. === T?che 4 - Ingr?dients d'une recette La t?che 4 se d?marque des pr?c?dentes car elle ne concerne pas la classification des recettes, mais l'extraction d'information. Il s'agit en effet dans cette t?che d'identifier la liste des ingr?dients de la recette. L'?valuation se fera en comparant les listes d'ingr?dients fournies par les auteurs des recettes ? la liste fournie par le syst?me. Une liste normalis?e globale de libell?s d'ingr?dients sera fournie aux participants. Cette liste contiendra au moins tous les ingr?dients pr?sents dans la base des textes de recettes, mais pourra aussi contenir des ingr?dients qui ne sont pas pr?sents dans les recettes. La mesure d'?valuation sera bas?e sur un calcul de Mean Average Precision (MAP) ou de Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR). D?ROULEMENT ----------- Il n'y a pas de limite quant au nombre de pistes auxquelles peut participer une ?quipe. Le nombre maximum de syst?mes diff?rents pr?sent?s par une ?quipe pour une t?che donn?e est limit? ? 3. Si une ?quipe veut pr?senter plus de 3 syst?mes diff?rents elle doit contacter au pr?alable les organisateurs. ? partir du moment o? une ?quipe a re?u le corpus de test, elle s'engage moralement ? effectuer l'?valuation compl?tement en retournant les donn?es annot?es et en participant ? l'atelier de cl?ture. Les ?quipes participant ? DEFT2013 devront s'inscrire ? l'aide du formulaire en ligne. ? l'exclusion des sites WEB et corpus qui auront servi de base ? la constitution des corpus de test et dont la liste sera communiqu?e aux participants par les organisateurs, les participants pourront utiliser toutes les ressources qu'ils souhaitent ? condition de les mentionner avec leur provenance lors de la pr?sentation de leurs r?sultats. Des corpus d'apprentissage seront fournis aux participants inscrits ? partir du 15 f?vrier 2013. Ces corpus sont compos?s de 60% des corpus d'origine. Les 40% de corpus restants seront utilis?s pour le test. Le test aura lieu du 22 au 28 avril 2013. ? partir de la date qu'ils auront choisie dans cet intervalle, les participants auront trois jours pour appliquer, sur les corpus de test, les m?thodes mises en oeuvre sur les corpus d'apprentissage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Feb 16 20:27:08 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2013 21:27:08 +0100 Subject: Appel: Prix de these ATALA 2013 / rappel + details dossier de candidature Message-ID: Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2013 12:07:38 +0100 From: Patrick Paroubek Message-ID: <1360926458.3506.28.camel at localhost> Avec nos excuses si vous avez d?j? recu cet appel, nous avons compl?t? le texte avec les d?tails du dossier de candidature ? envoyer.

Toute personne int?ress?e est la bienvenue. ********************************************************************* Josef Ruppenhofer (University of Hildesheim) Title : Emotion vocabulary and sentiment analysis in FrameNet Abstract : The FrameNet project (Baker, Fillmore & Lowe 1998) has been working for a while now on an analysis of the English vocabulary based on frame semantic theory (Fillmore 1982, 1985; Fillmore & Atkins 1992), documenting and verifying its analyses by creating corpus annotations. In this talk, I will give an overview of FrameNet's method using the example of emotion-related words and then present recent ideas for extending FrameNet's representation for the purposes of sentiment analysis. In the discussion of emotion vocabulary, I will address several points. First, comparing different releases, we ask how have FrameNet's criteria for distinguishing frames evolved over time? For instance, the organization of emotion frames in the current FrameNet release 1.5 is less exclusively valence-driven than in earlier versions. The overall trajectory is towards an organization where frame divisions are becoming finer and lexical units in a given frame are more semantically similar to each other. A second key point is that even given the more fine-grained analysis, FrameNet's division of frames and lexical units does not follow any one psychological theory of emotion. However, as will be shown, it is closest in spirit to the work of Ortony, Clore & Collins (1988) whose work is linguistically inspired and whose categories are often compatible with work underway at FrameNet. In the final part of the talk I suggest ways to extend FrameNet's representation for the purposes of sentiment analysis, producing a resource that allows for deep analysis of not only emotional vocabulary but evaluative and subjective language in general. A key feature of this approach is to piggy-back the extraction of opinion holders and targets onto automatic semantic role labeling systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue Feb 19 20:07:44 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:07:44 +0100 Subject: Appel: CEC-TAL'13 Message-ID: Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2013 21:45:14 -0800 (PST) From: Wajdi Zaghouani Message-ID: <1361079914.99952.YahooMailNeo at web121704.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> X-url: http://www.qatar.cmu.edu/~wajdiz/cec-tal/index.htm *SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS CEC-TAL'13* *International Colloquium for students Researchers in Natural Language Processing and its Applications* *September 5-6, 2013, Montr?al, Canada* http://www.qatar.cmu.edu/~wajdiz/cec-tal/index.htm *Call for papers* The first Colloquium for Students Researchers in Natural Language Processing and its Applications (CEC-TAL'13).

These speaker-specific differences occur at various linguistic levels and they can be realized phonetically by many parameters such as voice quality, speech rate, loudness, fundamental frequency, breathing, articulatory behavior, etc. At the same time, listeners can vary in the way they exploit such cues for the purpose of speech perception and understanding. Speaker-specific behavior has long been regarded irrelevant for linguistic theories and is generally treated as noise in the data. Methodologically, speaker-specific variation has often been ignored in the statistical modelling of speech production and perception data. However, there are numerous recent studies showing that speaker-specific variation allows for new insights into learning processes, speech planning and speech motor control strategies, processing of linguistic and paralinguistic information, among others. We seek to link findings from different disciplines by asking the following questions: * Which speaker-specific behaviors are crucial for a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying speech production and perception and which are less important? What can it tell us? Why? * Does information about the speaker help listeners to extract meaning? * Do physical and cognitive differences among individuals matter for native language acquisition? * How do we deal with speaker-specific behavior statistically? The invited international scholars have been chosen to address these issues. This summer school is mainly intended for graduate students, post-docs or researchers who work in the field of speech production, perception and perception-production interaction. We expect about 50 participants. One of the aims of the summer school is to provide a forum for exchanges between students, junior and senior researchers and encourage all participants to contribute to the dialog.

Workshop The BioNLP ST workshop will be co-hosted with the ACL/HLT 2013 BioNLP workshop, to be held in Sofia, Bulgaria, August 8-9 Participants will be invited to submit manuscripts describing their systems to the BioNLP ST workshop. Context The BioNLP Shared Task series represents a community-wide trend in text-mining for biology toward fine-grained information extraction (IE). The two previous events, the BioNLP 2009 and 2011 shared task attracted wide attention, with numerous teams submitting final results. The task setup and data have since served as the basis of numerous studies and published event extraction systems and datasets. The BioNLP Shared Task 2013 (BioNLP-ST'13) follows the general outline and goals of the previous tasks. It identifies biologically relevant extraction targets and proposes a linguistically motivated approach to event representation.

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.

Its program each year has comprised high-quality papers discussing current work spanning topics including: new grammatical models of translation; new learning methods for syntax- and semantics-based models; formal properties of synchronous/transduction grammars (hereafter S/TGs); discriminative training of models incorporating linguistic features; using S/TGs for semantics and generation; and syntax- and semantics-based evaluation of machine translation. The need for structural mappings between languages is widely recognized in the fields of statistical machine translation and spoken language translation, and there is a growing consensus that these mappings are appropriately represented using a family of formalisms that includes synchronous/transduction grammars and their tree-transducer equivalents. To date, flat-structured models, such as the word-based IBM models of the early 1990s or the more recent phrase-based models, remain widely used. But tree-structured mappings arguably offer a much greater potential for learning valid generalizations about relationships between languages. Within this area of research there is a rich diversity of approaches. There is active research ranging from formal properties of S/TGs to large-scale end-to-end systems. There are approaches that make heavy use of linguistic theory, and approaches that use little or none. There is theoretical work characterizing the expressiveness and complexity of particular formalisms, as well as empirical work assessing their modeling accuracy and descriptive adequacy across various language pairs. There is work being done to invent better translation models, and work to design better algorithms. Recent years have seen significant progress on all these fronts. In particular, systems based on these formalisms are now top contenders in MT evaluations. At the same time, SMT has seen a movement toward semantics over the past few years, which has been reflected at recent SSST workshops, including the last two editions which had semantics for SMT as a special theme. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely linked and SSST-7 continues to encourage submissions on semantics for MT in a number of directions, including semantic role labeling and sense disambiguation for translation and evaluation. We invite papers on: * syntax-based / semantics-based / tree-structured SMT * machine learning techniques for inducing structured translation models * algorithms for training, decoding, and scoring with semantic representation structure * empirical studies on adequacy and efficiency of formalisms * creation and usefulness of syntactic/semantic resources for MT * formal properties of synchronous/transduction grammars * learning semantic information from monolingual, parallel or comparable corpora * unsupervised and semi-supervised word sense induction and disambiguation methods for MT * lexical substitution, word sense induction and disambiguation, semantic role labeling, textual entailment, paraphrase and other semantic tasks for MT * semantic features for MT models (word alignment, translation lexicons, language models, etc.) * evaluation of syntactic/semantic components within MT (task-based evaluation) * scalability of structured translation methods to small or large data * applications of S/TGs to related areas including: speech translation formal semantics and semantic parsing paraphrases and textual entailment information retrieval and extraction * syntactically- and semantically-motivated evaluation of MT ORGANIZERS Marine CARPUAT, National Research Council Canada Lucia SPECIA, University of Sheffield Dekai WU, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology IMPORTANT DATES Mar 01, 2013 Paper due date Mar 29, 2013 Notification of acceptance Apr 12, 2013 Camera-ready deadline Jun 13 or 14, 2013 Workshop For more information: http://www.cs.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Fri Feb 22 20:07:33 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:07:33 +0100 Subject: Appel: Atelier NAACL/HLT, Analyse linguistique dans les medias sociaux (LASM 2013) Message-ID: Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:15:31 -0500 From: "Atefeh Farzindar" Message-ID: <016201ce0ee6$4785c8a0$d69159e0$@nlptechnologies.ca> X-url: http://www.nlptechnologies.ca/News/SocialMediaWorkshopNAACL2013_fr.html NAACL/HLT un atelier sur l'analyse linguistique dans les m?dias sociaux (LASM 2013) Site web:http://www.nlptechnologies.ca/News/SocialMediaWorkshopNAACL2013_fr.html Date :13 juin 2013 ?v?nement : Atelier de la North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics ?

Description Au cours des derni?res ann?es, l'int?r?t du public et des entreprises envers les m?dias sociaux et leur r?le dans la soci?t? moderne s'est accru. La possibilit? pour les utilisateurs de cr?er et de partager du contenu au moyen d'un ensemble vari? de plates-formes comme les blogues, les microblogues, les wikis, les sites de partage et de collaboration multim?dia et les sites de m?dias sociaux est au c?ur de cet int?r?t. Le volume sans pr?c?dent et la vari?t? des contenus g?n?r?s, ainsi que le r?seau d'interactions entre les utilisateurs cr?ent de nouvelles possibilit?s pour la compr?hension du comportement social et de la construction de syst?mes socialement responsables. Cet atelier servira de forum pour unir les efforts de recherche et pour partager les r?sultats de l'analyse du langage ayant des incidences dans des domaines comme la linguistique informatique, la sociolinguistique et la psycholinguistique. L'atelier mettra ?galement l'accent sur le travail qui porte sur la formation d'un corpus de r?f?rence et de m?thodes d'?valuation ax?es sur les t?ches d'analyse linguistique. Alors que l'atelier propos? porte sur l'analyse et sur la piste de traitement, et sur d'autres conf?rences et ateliers de la NAACL qui mettent l'accent sur l'analyse des m?dias sociaux, il a un objectif pr?cis : r?unir des chercheurs de diff?rentes disciplines qui ont un int?r?t commun ? explorer les caract?ristiques et les d?fis associ?s au langage dans les m?dias sociaux. Les dates importantes ? retenir sont : le 14 janvier 2013 ? atelier ? proposition d'article pour l'atelier; le 1er mars 2013 ? date de pr?sentation des articles; le 29 mars 2013 ? avis d'acceptation; le 12 avril 2013 ? version d?finitive pr?te ? imprimer; le 13 juin 2013 ? atelier.

Nous donnons ci-apr?s quelques exemples de travaux pertinents : - 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. 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 8 ? 10 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.

You find the text and information on the application procedure at: http://europa.eu/epso/apply/jobs/cast/2013/cast_jrc/index_en.htm The call includes a very wide range of subject areas, covering also computational linguistics. DEADLINE: The call will close at 12:00 (CET) on 1 March 2013. All necessary information can be found at that web page, but here are a few explanatory words: This is not an advertisement for a job opening! Instead, the profiles of applicants who successfully pass this selection procedure will be entered into a database of scientists that _can_ be hired to work at the JRC for a fixed-term contract within a period of up to three years after entering the database. The JRC can only fill positions of contractual agents with persons whose profiles made it into the database. NATIONALITY: The call is open for citizens of a Member State of the European Union or of one of the associated countries to the 7th Research Framework Programme (Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Israel, Liechtenstein, Montenegro, Norway, Republic of Moldova, Switzerland, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Serbia, Turkey). BACKGROUND ON OUR TEXT MINING WORK: The OPTIMA group at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Ispra, Italy, develops complex, highly multilingual (tens of languages) Language Technology applications applied to online media, including both traditional and social media. Our flagship product is the Europe Media Monitor (EMM) (http://emm.newsbrief.eu/overview.html) family of applications, which includes NewsExplorer (http://emm.newsexplorer.eu/) , NewsBrief (http://emm.newsbrief.eu/) , the Medical Information System MedISys (http://medisys.newsbrief.eu/) and EMM-Labs (http://emm-labs.jrc.it/) and which processes a daily average of 175,000 news articles per day in up to 73 languages. We have developed and we use a range of text mining applications, including clustering and categorisation; information extraction and disambiguation (persons, organisations, locations, quotations; event scenario template filling); name variant matching; topic detection and tracking, including across languages; co-reference resolution; sentiment analysis/opinion mining; multi-document summarisation; social network generation; statistical machine translation. We have also released various large-scale multilingual linguistic resources (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.php?id=61) , including JRC-Acquis (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.php?id=198) , DGT-Translation Memory (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.php?id=197) , ECDC-Translation Memory (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.php?id=782), DGT-Acquis (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.php?id=783) and the JRC EuroVoc Indexer JEX (http://ipsc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.php?id=60) .

We are particularly interested in candidates with a proven experience in areas like - neural networks - deep learning - structure learning - fast implementations on GPU Knowledge in one or several of the following application areas is a strong plus - natural language processing - language modeling - statistical machine translation - automatic speech recognition The postdoc positions are immediately available. Initial appointment is for one year, renewable for up to three years. Competitive salaries are available, including health care and other social benefits. The working language is English or French. LIUM performs research in machine learning applied to statistical machine translation and large vocabulary speech recognition since several years. We are in particular working on the use of continuous space methods. The postdoc candidates are expected to continue the research along these lines. Possible directions could be deep learning, unsupervised training, distributed training, etc. We are also particularly interested in machine learning techniques involving structured knowledge. LIUM is participating in several international projects, financed by the European Commission, DARPA and the French government. We collaborate with leading research groups in USA and Europe. A large computer cluster is available to support the research (500 CPU cores with a total of 6 TBytes of memory and more than 130 TBytes of RAID disk space). We also own a cluster with 10 Tesla GPU cards, connected by a fast Infiniband network. Le Mans is located in between Paris and the Atlantic ocean. Both can be reached in about 1 hour by high speed train. The Loire valley with many wineries and other attractions is just a short drive away ...

Rute Costa - Universidade Nova de Lisboa Pr?sentation g?n?rale : --------------------------------------------------------- Dans la soci?t? de l'information, les terminologies sont indispensables ? une communication sp?cialis?e rigoureuse et efficace. Les terminologues jouent un r?le central dans toute activit? professionnelle o? les comp?tences discursives, le transfert et l'organisation des connaissances sont requis. D?crire le concept, pour mieux trouver la d?nomination dans un contexte donn?, est une des fonctions du terminologue et la construction du syst?me notionnel une des t?ches centrales de son activit?. Se posent alors le probl?me des m?thodes et des outils pour la d?finition du syst?me conceptuel, mais ?galement celui des outils pour la d?finition et la gestion des terminologies. Dans ce cadre, les ontologies, au sens de l'ing?nierie des connaissances, offrent de nouvelles perspectives et de nouveaux march?s pour les terminologues. R?ciproquement, dans le contexte des nombreuses applications informatiques ? base d'ontologies, que ce soit pour des applications de traitement de l'information ou de gestion des connaissances, se pose le probl?me de la prise en compte des terminologies lors de l'acquisition des connaissances du domaine. Si les corpus de sp?cialit?s constituent une source privil?gi?e d'information, il reste ? d?finir des m?thodes d'analyse qui tiennent compte des diff?rences qui existent entre les textes et la conceptualisation formelle. La terminologie permet d'y r?pondre en distinguant les dimensions linguistique et conceptuelle. Elle ?tablit de plus des principes th?oriques et m?thodologiques utiles pour la construction d'ontologies. Objectifs : --------------------------------------------------------- La formation vise ? promouvoir la collaboration entre les professionnels de la langue et de la connaissance. Elle a ?galement pour objectif de pr?senter les th?ories, m?thodes et outils de construction d'ontologies ? des fins terminologiques, dotant ainsi : - les professionnels de la langue d'une approche m?thodologique et syst?matique (raisonnement formel) pour la d?finition du syst?me conceptuel, particuli?rement utile pour l'op?rationnalisation des terminologies ; - les professionnels de la connaissance de comp?tences linguistiques indispensables pour l'acquisition de connaissances ? partir de ressources linguistiques. Publics vis?s : --------------------------------------------------------- Linguistes, Terminologues, Lexicographes, Traducteurs, Documentalistes, Ing?nieurs cogniticiens, Informaticiens Programme : --------------------------------------------------------- Une part importante de la formation sera consacr?e ? des travaux pratiques pour la construction d'ontologies ? l'aide d'environnements logiciels. 1.

Les donn?es de la recherche en questions" S?ance du mercredi 27 f?vrier 2013 Nouvel horaire : de 13h45 ? 15h45 LE PATRIMOINE ET LES ARCHIVES SCIENTIFIQUES Intervenante : Catherine CUENCA, Conservateur en chef du patrimoine, Mus?e des arts et m?tiers - Cnam Paris et Universit? de Nantes Le patrimoine mat?riel et immat?riel scientifique et technique de la recherche contemporaine : une Mission nationale, Mus?e des arts et m?tiers, Cnam En 2003, le minist?re de la recherche a charg? le directeur du Mus?e des arts et m?tiers d'une mission nationale de sauvegarde et de valorisation du patrimoine scientifique et technique contemporain des 60 derni?res ann?es. Les principaux objectifs de cette mission sont de sensibiliser et de pr?server la m?moire des traces mat?rielles (instruments et documents) et immat?rielles (savoir-faire) des acteurs de la recherche publique et priv?e en s'appuyant sur un r?seau d?velopp? au niveau national et cr?? en 2004, de susciter des initiatives r?gionales de sauvegarde et valorisation de ce ? patrimoine ? et d'assurer un r?le de conseil et d'expertise, notamment pour la constitution de mus?es scientifiques et techniques. Au XXIe si?cle, il appara?t en effet n?cessaire de sauvegarder ce futur patrimoine en le repla?ant dans le cycle de l'innovation qui l'a vu na?tre. Il constitue un t?moignage de la recherche pour demain permettant ? nos concitoyens de se familiariser avec les savoirs, les techniques et les innovations. Le programme de sauvegarde s'articule autour de plusieurs axes : - Sensibiliser les ?tablissements d'enseignement sup?rieur et de recherche et les entreprises ? la sauvegarde et la conservation de ce ? patrimoine ? scientifique et technique ; - Susciter l'organisation dans les r?gions d'un r?seau local autour d'un chef de projet ; - Accompagner la mise en ?uvre du programme dans les r?gions gr?ce au suivi et ? la coordination nationale ; - Transf?rer la m?thodologie sous forme de conseils et d'expertises, proposer des outils communs aux partenaires du r?seau national, une base de donn?es et un site Internet (www.patstec.fr) pour la constitution d'un inventaire commun ; - Valoriser des actions sous diverses formes au niveau national. Pour mener ? bien ces objectifs, une cellule de coordination nationale, situ?e au Mus?e des arts et m?tiers, accompagne la mise en ?uvre du programme dans les r?gions, tout en g?n?ralisant la m?thodologie sous forme de conseils et d'expertise. Tous les ans, une journ?e nationale et deux ateliers techniques permettent d'?changer sur les pratiques avec les diff?rents membres du r?seau. Des journ?es d'?tude et des colloques sont organis?s. Des actions de recherches sont men?es au niveau des r?gions partenaires et un s?minaire national intitul? ? Patrimoine contemporain : Science, Technique, Culture & Soci?t? ? a eu lieu en 2012 et continue en 2013. Au-del? de la sauvegarde mat?rielle, du rep?rage, de la collecte et de la mise en valeur des objets, il est apparu indispensable ? la Mission nationale d'engager une r?flexion sur les questions que soul?ve le patrimoine scientifique et technique contemporain. Le r?seau national comprend aujourd'hui seize r?gions partenaires, ainsi que plusieurs partenaires institutionnels, tels que le CNRS, le CEA ou M?t?o France, ou industriels (Fondation EDF, Essilor, Michelin). La Base de donn?es et le site www.pastec.fr, 13 000 objets document?s et 50000 m?dias. Plus largement, la mission nationale souhaite aujourd'hui d?velopper cette exp?rience pilote ? un niveau europ?en voire international.

Don't miss it! THE WEB AS A LABORATORY Insights from Web Science and Big Data Analysis have led many researchers to the conclusion that the Web not only represents an almost unlimited data store but also a remarkable multi-disciplinary laboratory environment. A new challenge is how to best leverage the potential of this experimental space. What are the procedures for defining, implementing and evaluating ?Web-scale? experiments? What are acceptable measures of robustness and repeatability? What are the opportunities for experimental collaboration? What disciplines are likely to benefit from this new research model? This talk will likely have more questions than answers, but should provide fertile ground for ongoing discussion.

Previous Formal Grammar meetings were held in Barcelona (1995), Prague (1996), Aix-en-Provence (1997), Saarbruecken (1998), Utrecht (1999), Helsinki (2001), Trento (2002), Vienna (2003), Nancy (2004), Edinburgh (2005), Malaga (2006), Dublin (2007), Hamburg (2008), Bordeaux (2009), Copenhagen (2010), Ljubljana (2011) and Opole (2012). Aims and Scope FG provides a forum for the presentation of new and original research on formal grammar, mathematical linguistics and the application of formal and mathematical methods to the study of natural language. Themes of interest include, but are not limited to, * formal and computational phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics; * model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics; * logical aspects of linguistic structure; * constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar; * learnability of formal grammar; * integration of stochastic and symbolic models of grammar; * foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar and linguistics; * mathematical foundations of statistical approaches to linguistic analysis. Previous conferences in this series have welcomed papers from a wide variety of frameworks. Submission Details We invite **electronic** submissions of original, 16-page papers (including references and possible technical appendices). Authors are encouraged to use the Springer-Verlag LNCS style: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 The submission deadline is **March 31 2013**.

Knowledge Engineering, Acquisition and Management. L?essor des Sciences et Technologies de l?Information et de la Communication, notamment des technologies du Web, dans l?ensemble de la soci?t? engendre des mutations dans les pratiques individuelles et collectives. L?ing?nierie des connaissances accompagne cette ?volution, en inventant les th?ories, les m?thodes et les outils permettant l?int?gration de la dimension ? connaissance ? dans des environnements informatiques dont la plasticit? et la capacit? ? s?associer aux activit?s deviennent les vertus cardinales. Les mod?les de l?ing?nierie des connaissances se renouvellent et int?grent de plus en plus la dimension dynamique des situations li?es ? la massification des usages. La conf?rence est l?occasion de confronter les th?ories, les mod?les, les m?thodes, les outils, les observations des usages li?s ? ces ?volutions et qui permettront d?aller plus loin. L?ing?nierie des connaissances est directement li?e au processus plus g?n?ral de la ? d?couverte ? des connaissances, processus associant l?humain et l?environnement informatique. Ce processus se r?alise selon des modalit?s qui s?inventent ? un rythme acc?l?r? avec le Web qui s?impose progressivement comme un unique environnement associant ressources informatiques et humains en r?seaux. Les th?mes d'IC 2013 (liste non exhaustive) sont : *Mod?les de connaissances et ontologies* - mod?les, formalismes, langages formels et informels de repr?sentation de connaissances - m?thodes et outils pour le cycle de vie des repr?sentations : d?tection de besoin, sp?cification, conception et r?utilisation, diffusion, utilisation, ?valuation, ?volution, gestion - ?change, interop?rabilit? et r?utilisation des mod?les, standardisation - terminologies, thesaurii, ontologies et lexiques - types d?ontologies et r?le des ontologies de r?f?rence - gestion de la dynamique des ontologies (versionnement, ?volution, int?gration et alignement) - raisonnements logiques, inf?rences et raisonnements ? base de r?gles, approximations, raisonnement statistiques, raisonnement par analogie, raisonnement ? partir de cas *Conception et construction de mod?les de connaissances et d'ontologies* - acquisition de connaissances ? partir de textes - peuplement de mod?les de connaissances - inf?rence et r?gles m?tier : acquisition conception, r?utilisation, ?volution, ?valuation, exploitations - d?couverte interactive de connaissances dans les donn?es, dans les historiques, dans les interactions, sur le web, etc. - ontologies spatiales et temporelles - m?trique et ?valuation de la qualit? des ontologies *Web des donn?es, donn?es ouvertes dans le cadre du Web S?mantique* - connaissance et r?seaux sociaux sur le web - interconnexion de donn?es - donn?e ouvertes (territoriales, gouvernementales), annuaire et catalogage - gestion de donn?es de flux - passage ? l'?chelle : gestion et interrogation de gros volumes de donn?es - provenance et confiance dans les donn?es - m?trique et ?valuation de la qualit? des donn?es *Interaction et visualisation des connaissances* - conception d'interactions et d'interfaces avec des syst?mes ? base de connaissances - visualisation de connaissances, d'ontologies - visualisation d'interconnexion de donn?es, de raisonnement sur les donn?es - profils utilisateurs, mod?les de contexte et adaptation - ?valuation d'interfaces consommant des donn?es li?es *D?veloppements th?oriques et interdisciplinaires de l'ing?nierie des connaissances* - ?pist?mologie de l'ing?nierie des connaissances - th?orie des organisations et ing?nierie des connaissances - sciences humaines et sciences cognitives (ergonomie, psychologie, sociologie, linguistique, etc.) et ing?nierie des connaissances - g?nie logiciel (langages et environnements, ing?nierie des mod?les, ing?nierie des besoins, etc.) et ing?nierie des connaissances *Applications et syst?mes sp?cialisant ou adaptant des m?thodes et techniques d?IC* - applications dans les domaines de la sant?, de l'?ducation et de l'apprentissage, de la culture, de la recherche documentaire, des transports intelligents, de l'informatique d?cisionnelle (BI), etc. - gestion des connaissances, m?moires d'entreprises - applications situ?es (dans le temps et l'espace) - aide ? la conception - syst?mes pour la collaboration et la coop?ration dans les organisations et les collectifs Les auteurs sont invit?s ? pr?senter des articles longs, des articles courts, des posters et des d?monstrations - Articles longs (16 p, pr?sentation orale de 20 mn, 10 mn discussion) : Sont concern?s des travaux aboutis, pr?sentant des r?sultats valid?s ou des synth?ses fouill?es. - Articles courts (8p, pr?sentation orale de 10 mn, 5 mn discussion) : Sont concern?s des travaux en cours ou au stade de r?sultats partiels de recherches ou appliqu?s.

Paris DILTEC, Didactique des langues, des textes et des cultures, EA 2288, Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3 en partenariat avec : EDA, ?ducation, Discours, Apprentissage, EA 4071, Paris Descartes STL, Savoirs, textes et langage, UMR 8163, Lille 3 Associ?s ? : L'Universit? Libre de Bruxelles/Belgique (Philixte, ?tudes litt?raires, philologiques et textuelles) L'Universit? du Qu?bec ? Trois rivi?res/Canada L'Universit? Libanaise/Liban Avec le soutien de l'Agence universitaire de la francophonie Comme de nombreux autres domaines, l'enseignement/apprentissage des langues vit depuis quelques d?cennies au rythme de la mondialisation, notamment avec l'expansion de l'?cole et de ses outils de pr?dilection (l'?crit, le manuel, etc.). Par ailleurs, d'un point de vue ?pist?mologique, la didactique des langues affirme le caract?re prax?ologique (relation constante entre concepts et contextes, th?orie et pratique) de sa d?marche et de la posture qu'elle implique chez les chercheurs. La circulation des notions et principes m?thodologiques prend une tournure particuli?re dans le cas de la coop?ration, qu'elle soit bi- ou multilat?rale, ou dans celui des partenariats institutionnels entre pays dits du Nord et du Sud (IFADEM, ELAN, TESSA, etc.) : le transfert de m?thodologies se fait g?n?ralement ? sens unique, sans que soient toujours bien pris en compte les contextes dans lesquels il est op?r? (Blanchet, 2009 ; Block and Cameron, 2002 ; Maurer, 2007). ? cela s'ajoutent bien souvent les r?percussions des ? effets de mode ? m?thodologiques, qui entra?nent au niveau local une succession de m?thodologies en l'espace de quelques ann?es : une nouvelle m?thodologie est parfois introduite sur le terrain avant m?me que les acteurs sociaux de l'?ducation aient pu prendre la mesure de celle qui la pr?c?dait. Il convient donc de s'interroger sur le caract?re international et multicontextuel des strat?gies, des outils et des m?thodologies ?ducatives et linguistiques (Montagne-Macaire, 2008 ; Block, 2010). Les questions suivantes seront donc au c?ur des discussions et pourront concerner l'?cole dans son ensemble (niveaux ?l?mentaires, primaires, secondaires et universitaires) : Dans quelle mesure, et avec quels am?nagements, ces ?l?ments b?n?ficiant d'une reconnaissance et d'une l?gitimit? internationales sont-ils op?rationnels dans des contextes vari?s se distinguant aussi bien par leur culture ?ducative (Beacco, Cicurel, Chiss & V?ronique 2005), leurs besoins sp?cifiques, les caract?ristiques de leurs ressources humaines ? Inversement, des outils ?labor?s localement et de mani?re tr?s contextualis?e sont-ils ? m?me d'apporter une r?ponse ? des probl?matiques v?cues sur d'autres terrains ? Comment mettre en ?vidence la complexit? du transfert des savoirs linguistiques en lien avec les m?thodologies de l'enseignement des langues ? Comment ne pas r?duire la langue ? un syst?me mais partir d'une conceptualisation sociolinguistique ?largie qui inclut aussi bien les acteurs que les v?ritables formes d'existence des langues dans la communication, les pratiques discursives et les textes ? C'est ? partir de ces questions que les diverses contributions ? ce colloque permettront de relancer une dynamique r?flexive dans le rapport didactique entre le nord et le sud, notamment en cherchant ? d?passer le clivage entre politiques linguistiques et ?ducatives et approches scientifiques dont la relation entre langues secondes et langues nationales semble ?tre le symbole. Les contributions porteront principalement sur les axes suivants : Des analyses de transferts de m?thodologie d'enseignement des langues mis en ?uvre dans des contextes vari?s (approche communicative, perspective actionnelle, etc.) Des analyses portant, pour un m?me terrain, sur une approche comparative des didactiques des diff?rentes langues en pr?sence (langues premi?res, secondes, ?trang?res). Ces analyses pourront ?galement prendre pour cible des d?marches de didactique int?gr?e entre langues nationales et internationales. Des analyses de partenariats institutionnels mettant l'accent sur une co-construction m?thodologique et notionnelle (organisations internationales, ONG, coop?rations bilat?rales?) Des r?flexions sur la notion de culture ?ducative et linguistique (transversalit?/sp?cificit?, etc.) Des r?flexions sur les contenus terminologiques partag?s mais pas n?cessairement interpr?t?s de mani?re ?quivalente dans diff?rents contextes (notion d'h?t?rog?n?it?, de t?che, etc.). Langue de travail La langue de travail privil?gi?e sera le fran?ais. Les communications faites dans d'autres langues seront ?galement accept?es ? condition qu'un r?sum? et un support en fran?ais soient pr?vus. D?roulement du colloque Conf?rences introductives Ateliers parall?les Tables rondes Inscription au colloque 100 euros Etudiants : 30 euros La participation des ?tudiants des ?quipes DILTEC, EDA et STL est gratuite. Propositions de communications Les contributions pourront prendre la forme de communications de 20 minutes au cours d'un atelier ou de symposiums th?matiques regroupant plusieurs communications. Les propositions doivent ?tre adress?es ? l'adresse suivante : colloquecontextes2014 at gmail.com Les propositions seront envoy?es sur fichier word, anonyme (communication : titre et r?sum? ne d?passant pas 2000 signes, bibliographie comprise ; symposium : titre et r?sum?s ne d?passant pas 8000 signes, bibliographie comprise).

Its program each year has comprised high-quality papers discussing current work spanning topics including: new grammatical models of translation; new learning methods for syntax- and semantics-based models; formal properties of synchronous/transduction grammars (hereafter S/TGs); discriminative training of models incorporating linguistic features; using S/TGs for semantics and generation; and syntax- and semantics-based evaluation of machine translation. The need for structural mappings between languages is widely recognized in the fields of statistical machine translation and spoken language translation, and there is a growing consensus that these mappings are appropriately represented using a family of formalisms that includes synchronous/transduction grammars and their tree-transducer equivalents. To date, flat-structured models, such as the word-based IBM models of the early 1990s or the more recent phrase-based models, remain widely used. But tree-structured mappings arguably offer a much greater potential for learning valid generalizations about relationships between languages. Within this area of research there is a rich diversity of approaches. There is active research ranging from formal properties of S/TGs to large-scale end-to-end systems. There are approaches that make heavy use of linguistic theory, and approaches that use little or none. There is theoretical work characterizing the expressiveness and complexity of particular formalisms, as well as empirical work assessing their modeling accuracy and descriptive adequacy across various language pairs. There is work being done to invent better translation models, and work to design better algorithms. Recent years have seen significant progress on all these fronts. In particular, systems based on these formalisms are now top contenders in MT evaluations. At the same time, SMT has seen a movement toward semantics over the past few years, which has been reflected at recent SSST workshops, including the last two editions which had semantics for SMT as a special theme. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely linked and SSST-7 continues to encourage submissions on semantics for MT in a number of directions, including semantic role labeling and sense disambiguation for translation and evaluation. We invite papers on: * syntax-based / semantics-based / tree-structured SMT * machine learning techniques for inducing structured translation models * algorithms for training, decoding, and scoring with semantic representation structure * empirical studies on adequacy and efficiency of formalisms * creation and usefulness of syntactic/semantic resources for MT * formal properties of synchronous/transduction grammars * learning semantic information from monolingual, parallel or comparable corpora * unsupervised and semi-supervised word sense induction and disambiguation methods for MT * lexical substitution, word sense induction and disambiguation, semantic role labeling, textual entailment, paraphrase and other semantic tasks for MT * semantic features for MT models (word alignment, translation lexicons, language models, etc.) * evaluation of syntactic/semantic components within MT (task-based evaluation) * scalability of structured translation methods to small or large data * applications of S/TGs to related areas including: speech translation formal semantics and semantic parsing paraphrases and textual entailment information retrieval and extraction * syntactically- and semantically-motivated evaluation of MT ORGANIZERS Marine CARPUAT, National Research Council Canada Lucia SPECIA, University of Sheffield Dekai WU, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology IMPORTANT DATES Mar 15, 2013 Paper due date Apr 2, 2013 Notification of acceptance Apr 12, 2013 Camera-ready deadline Jun 13 or 14, 2013 Workshop For more information: http://www.cs.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------
