One year Postdoctoral position at LINA, Nantes, France

Topic: Cross-lingual Word Sense Disambiguation from comparable corpora


Contact: B. Daille
beatrice.daille_at_univ-nantes.fr

Location: LINA - U. of Nantes- Nantes France
http://www.lina.univ-nantes.fr/

Required education: PhD in Computer Sciences with NLP courses
or in Computational linguistics


The work takes place in the context of the Termith project, funded by
the French National Research founding. The collaborative research
project TermITH (Terminology and Indexation of Texts in the area of
Humanities) deals with information access to textual documents via a
full-text indexing which is based on terms which are detected,
disambiguated and analysed.
TermITH deals with scientific area in which the ambiguity between
terminological and general language usage is very high: the
humanities. Five disciplines will be covered: linguistics, history,
sociology, psychology and archaeology.

TermITH’s approach is intended to cross the automatically detected and
disambiguated occurrences of terms in texts with available
interdisciplinary lexicons and terminological resources to isolate the
specific terms for each studied area.
The postdoctoral work will focus on the word-sense and terminological
disambiguation using cross-lingual information. The disambiguation
should be able to distinguish between terminological and language
general senses, and between several terminological entries.  Several
works have demonstrated the validity of using parallel corpora for
bilingual word sense disambiguation.  The use of comparable corpora for
such task has to be investigated. The method will be implemented within
Termith platform, an UIMA framework based on TermSuite.

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

Cet atelier s'organisera en deux sessions complémentaires :

* Session 1 : Sources Ouvertes et Services (SOS)

significance, contributions to research resources, and
replicability. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three
program committee members. Long papers may consist of up to eight (8)
pages of content, plus two extra pages for references; final versions
should take into account reviewers' comments. Papers will be presented
orally or as posters as determined by the program committee. Decisions
on presentation format will be based on the nature rather than the
quality of the work. There will be no distinction in the proceedings
between long papers presented orally and as posters.

The long paper submission deadline is:
- Friday, 18 October 2013, 23:59 CET.

Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished
work. Characteristics of short papers include a small, focused
contribution; work in progress; a negative result; an opinion piece; an
interesting application nugget. Short papers will be presented in one or
more oral or poster sessions, and will be given four (4) pages plus 2
pages for references in the proceedings. While short papers will be
distinguished from long papers in the proceedings, there will be no
distinction in the proceedings between short papers presented orally and
as posters. Each short paper submission will be reviewed by at least two
program committee members.

The deadline for submission of short papers is:
- Monday, 6 January 2014, 23:59 CET.

Titre : Construction d'ontologies à des fins terminologiques

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.

Le Laboratoire Informatique d'Avignon (LIA) à l'Université d'Avignon et
des Pays de Vaucluse recrute un MCF.


========================
Profil Langage MCF 2013 Section 27
Recherche :

Le laboratoire de rattachement est le LIA (Laboratoire d'Informatique
d'Avignon). Le maître de conférence recruté intégrera la thématique
langage, l'objectif visé étant le maintien du potentiel de recherche de
l'unité en traitement automatique du langage naturel écrit ou oral,
ainsi que sur les sujets charnières de cette thématique, à
l'intersection du traitement de l'écrit et de la parole. Afin de
permettre un recrutement de la meilleure qualité possible, deux
directions de recherche sont explicitées :

- une axée sur la recherche d'information et le traitement du langage
  naturel écrit, l'indexation de très larges volumes d'information (web,
  réseaux sociaux, systèmes de recommandations basés sur le contenu...),
  le développement d'algorithmes indépendants de la langue et du domaine
  faisant appel à des méthodes numériques et à l'exploitation de
  ressources linguistiques (notamment au niveau sémantique tels que la
  détection d'opinions, le résumé automatique de documents, la
  catégorisation textuelle, les systèmes de questions-réponses...) ;

- la seconde est orientée vers l'analyse et l'interprétation de la
  parole et du texte dans des contextes de systèmes d'interactions
  vocales ou de structuration de grandes collections multimédia. Les
  tâches visées sont notamment l'interprétation et la structuration des
  documents audio, l'analyse des opinions, le résumé et la traduction
  automatiques, la segmentation et classification thématique, la
  recherche d'information, la gestion du dialogue. Ces activités devront
  s'inscrire dans le contexte de systèmes opérationnels (systèmes de
  dialogue, plate-formes de recherche d'information audio, systèmes
  multilingues...) et permettre la participation à des campagnes
  d'évaluation nationales et internationales.

Dans tous les cas, le candidat devra avoir une excellente connaissance
des méthodes d'apprentissage automatique et une solide culture dans le
domaine du traitement statistique du langage, incluant les principaux
niveaux d'interprétation (lexical, syntaxique, sémantique et
dialogique).
Le candidat devra aussi démontrer sa capacité et sa volonté de
s'investir pleinement dans la valorisation des activités de recherche,
la mise en place de projets de recherche nationaux, européens et
internationaux et dans la vie du laboratoire en général. Le candidat
devra aussi être en mesure de renforcer la participation du LIA dans les
campagnes d'évaluation internationales telles que NIST et CLEF, aussi
bien comme participant que comme organisateur. Enfin il devra être prêt
à s'investir dans la Structure Fédérative de Recherche (SFR) Agorantic.

Dans ce cadre, les critères recherche qui seront employés pour évaluer
les candidatures sont :
- publications au meilleur niveau
- rayonnement international et mobilité
- capacité à s'investir dans une activité contractuelle
- animation de la communauté scientifique
- adéquation aux compétences scientifiques et technologiques spécifiques
  citées dans le profil

Georges Linares georges.linares at uiv-avignon.fr, Directeur du LIA
Fabrice Lefèvre fabrice.lefevre at univ-avignon.fr, Directeur du CERI

Enseignement :
Le candidat devra être capable d'assurer son service d'enseignement en
Licence ou en Master Informatique. Par ailleurs il sera conduit à
prendre des responsabilités administratives dans le domaine de
l'enseignement, en particulier, les responsabilités d'Unités
d'Enseignement, le plus rapidement possible. Un investissement fort dans
le pilotage et l'animation de la structure d'enseignement est attendu,
aussi bien au niveau Licence que Master, internes au CERI, en
collaboration ou avec d'autres composantes de l'Université, d'autres
Universités / Ecoles, aux niveaux national et international En
particulier, le candidat sera amené très rapidement à prendre en charge
des enseignements de niveau Master, orientés industrie et R&D, liés aux
formations en création, par exemple : ingénierie des systèmes
d'information, gestion électronique de documents (GED), fouille de
données (Data et Text Mining) ou encore systèmes et logiciels embarqués
et sécurité.

Stylistique automatique et identification d'auteurs

Sujet proposé par Jean-Gabriel GANASCIA (Jean-Gabriel.Ganascia at lip6.fr)
Unité de recherche UMR 7606 Laboratoire d'informatique de Paris 6

Date limite de soumission : les personnes intéressées doivent envoyer un
CV et une lettre de motivation à Jean-Gabriel Ganascia
(Jean-Gabriel.Ganascia at lip6.fr) avant le 24 mai 2013.

Domaine principal: Sciences et technologies de l'information et de la
communication 
Domaine secondaire : analyse littéraire
Thèmes: intelligence artificielle, fouille de données, traitement
automatique des langues naturelles.


Projet

Cette thèse porte sur la stylistique automatique à l'aide de techniques
d'apprentissage automatique. Il s'agit de caractériser l'auteur, le
genre ou l'époque. Dans le passé, beaucoup de travaux ont porté sur
l'attribution de paternité de textes. Il s'agit de reprendre ces études
avec deux ambitions:

- renouveler les méthodes: à la différence des méthodes classique fondée
  sur la lexicométrie, l'approche proposée fera appel à une extraction
  de motifs syntaxiques.

- identifier les caractéristiques du style: les motifs syntaxiques
  devraient aider à expliciter les caractéristiques du style de tel
  auteur, de tel type de texte ou de telle époque.

Pour mener à bien ce travail, on aura recours à

- des techniques de traitement automatique des langues (étiquetage
  syntaxique, analyse syntaxique, etc.)
- de la fouille de textes (extraction de motifs récurrents)
- de l'apprentissage supervisé

Les recherches se poursuivront dans le cadre du Labex OBVIL qui fait
collaborer l'équipe ACASA du LIP6 avec les équipes de littérature de
l'université Paris-Sorbonne. Cela permettra de valider les approches
proposées en contact avec des équipes de littérature. Cela fournira
aussi des corpus pertinents. A titre d'illustration, une première
validation doit porter sur les romans érotiques du XIXe siècle, dont les
auteurs sont en partie anonymes.

Enjeux

Les défis scientifiques de cette thèse sont doubles:

Il faut améliorer les techniques d'attribution de paternité de
textes. Pour cela on fera des comparaisons sur des corpus connus avec
les techniques classiques fondées sur la lexicométrie, c'est-à-dire sur
des vecteurs de mots.

Le second défi porte sur le renouveau de la stylistique: il faut induire
des caractéristiques lisibles, c'est-à-dire des motifs syntaxiques
suffisamment longs. Cela exige le recours à des analyseurs syntaxiques
automatiques, puis à des approches d'extraction de motifs.

Ouverture à l'international

Comme dit plus haut, ce projet se réalisera dans le cadre du Labex
OBVIL. Ce Labex entretien des liens privilégié avec le projet ARTFL de
l'université de Chicago avec qui nous aurons plusieurs échanges.

Une thèse de littérature en co-tutelle entre le Labex OBVIL et une
équipe de linguistique informatique de l'université de Saint-Petersburg
(Russie) se déroule actuellement. Elle porte sur l'identification des
auteurs de plusieurs romans érotiques du XIXe siècle. Cette thèse se
fera en collaboration avec cette équipe.

Enfin, dans le cadre du Labex OBVIL, il existe des partenariats

Note: Deadline for papers is Friday, 3 May 2013

CALL FOR PAPERS

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

Topics of Interest

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

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

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

Special Theme: Discourse and Dialogue in Social Media

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

INVITED SPEAKERS

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

SUBMISSIONS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

FORMAT

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

MENTORING SERVICE

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

BEST PAPER AWARDS

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

SPONSORSHIP

SIGDIAL offers a number of opportunities for sponsors. For more

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

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

Sofia, Bulgaria

August 8, 2013

DEADLINE EXTENSION for paper submissions: May 14, 2013

*Invited Speakers*

Will Lewis and Chris Quirk (Microsoft Research)

Hermann Ney (Aachen University)

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

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

*Workshop Description*


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

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

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

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

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

*Submission Instructions*

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


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


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


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

**Projet
Le domaine du sentiment analysis et de l’opinion mining  est un domaine
en plein essor avec l’arrivée en masse de données textuelles sur le web
comportant des expressions d’opinions par les citoyens (critiques de
films, débats sur les commentaires de forums, tweets) (El-Bèze et
al. 2010)). Les recherches en traitement automatique des langues se
mobilisent sur le développement de méthodes de détection d’opinion dans
les textes en s’appuyant sur ces nouvelles ressources. La diversité des
données et des applications industrielles faisant appel à ces méthodes
multiplient les défis scientifiques à relever avec, notamment, la prise
en compte des différents contextes d’énonciation (e.g., contexte social
et politique, personnalité du locuteur) et la définition du phénomène
d’opinion à analyser en fonction du contexte applicatif. Ces méthodes
d’analyse des sentiments dans les textes s’étendent également depuis peu
à l’oral en passant par l’analyse des transcriptions automatiques issues
de systèmes de reconnaissance automatique de la parole pour des
problématiques d’indexation d’émissions radiophoniques ou de centres
d’appels (Clavel et al., 2013), et peuvent être ainsi corrélées aux
méthodes d’analyse acoustique/prosodique des émotions (Clavel et al.,
2010).

Autre domaine scientifique en plein essor, celui des agents
conversationnels animés (ACA) fait intervenir des personnages virtuels
intéragissant avec l’humain. Les ACA peuvent prendre un rôle d’assistant
comme les agents conversationnels présents sur les sites de vente
(Suignard, 2010), de tuteur dans le cadre des Serious Games (Chollet et
al. 2012) ou encore de partenaire dans le cadre des jeux vidéos. Le défi
scientifique majeur pour ce domaine est l’intégration, au sein de l’ACA,
de la composante affective de l’interaction. Il s’agit d’une part de
prendre en compte les comportements affectifs et des attitudes sociales
de l’humain et d’autre part de les générer de façon pertinente.

Nous proposons pour cette thèse de travailler sur la détection des
opinions et des sentiments dans un contexte d’interaction multimodale de
l’humain avec un agent conversationnel animé, sujet jusqu'à maintenant
peu étudié par la “communauté agent”. En effet, d’un côté, les ACA
réagissent à des contenus émotionnels essentiellement non verbaux
(Schröder et al., 2011) et de l’autre côté, les ACA “assistant”
réagissent à partir des contenus verbaux informatif (Suignard, 2010)
sans prendre en compte les opinions ou les sentiments exprimés par
l’utilisateur. Des premières études ont été réalisées sur la
reconnaissance de l’affect dans le langage dans un contexte
d’interaction avec un agent (Osherenko et al., 2009) mais celles-ci
restent envisagées indépendamment de la stratégie de dialogue.

Les développements de la thèse s’intègreront dans la plateforme GRETA
qui repose sur l’architecture SAIBA, une architecture globale unifiée
développée par la “communauté agent” pour la génération de comportements
multimodaux (Niewiadomski et al., 2011). Greta permet de communiquer
avec l’humain en générant chez l’agent une large palette de
comportements expressifs verbaux et non verbaux (Bevacqua et al.,
2012). Elle peut simultanément montrer des expressions faciales, des
gestes, des regards et des mouvements de têtes. Cette plateforme a
notamment été intégrée dans le cadre du projet SEMAINE avec le
développement d’une architecture temps-réel d’interaction humain-agent
(Schröder et al., 2011) qui inclut des analyses acoustiques et vidéos,
un système de gestion du dialogue et, du côté de la synthèse, le système
Text To Speech OpenMary et l’agent virtuel de la plateforme GRETA. A
l’instar de ce projet, la détection d’opinions et de sentiments
envisagée dans la thèse interviendra en entrée des modèles
d’interactions multi-modaux de la plateforme. La stratégie de dialogue
multimodale associée à ces entrées relatives au contenu verbal devra
être définie et intégrée dans la plateforme GRETA.

**Enjeux
La thèse portera sur le développement conjoint de méthodes de détection
des opinions et des sentiments et de stratégies de dialogue
humain-agent. Les méthodes envisagées sont des méthodes hybrides mêlant
apprentissage statistique et règles expertes.  Pour les stratégies de
dialogue, le doctorant pourra s’appuyer sur les travaux réalisés dans le
cadre du moteur de dialogue DISCO (Rich et al., 2012) et du moteur
développé dans le projet Semaine(Schröder et al., 2011). Les méthodes
développées pourront également s’appuyer sur des analyses de corpus
humain-humain ou de type Magicien d’Oz (McKeown et al., 2012) et un
protocole d’évaluation de ces méthodes devra être mis en place. En
particulier, pour répondre à cet objectif, la thèse devra aborder les
problématiques suivantes:

-  la définition des types d’opinions et de sentiments pertinents à
   considérer en entrée du moteur de dialogue. Il s’agira d’aller
   au-delà delà de la distinction classique entre opinions positives et
   opinions négatives, peu pertinente dans ce contexte, en s’appuyant
   sur les modèles issus de la psycholinguistique (Martin and White,
   2007);

- l’identification des marqueurs lexicaux, syntaxiques, sémantiques et
  dialogiques des opinions et des sentiments;

- la prise en compte du contexte d’énonciation: les règles implémentées
  pourront intégrer différentes fenêtres d’analyse : la phrase, le tour
  de parole et les tours de paroles antérieurs;

- la prise en compte des problématiques temps-réel de l’interaction :
  des stratégies de dialogues seront définies en fonction des
  différentes fenêtres d’analyse afin de proposer des stratégies
  d’interactions à différents niveaux de réactivité. Par exemple,
  certains mots-clés pourront être utilisés comme déclencheurs de
  backchannel en temps réels et la planification des comportements de
  l’agent pourra être ajustée au fur et à mesure de l’avancement de
  l’interaction.

**Ouverture à l’international:
Ces travaux de thèse interviennent en complémentarité des travaux
réalisés sur les interactions non verbales dans le cadre du projet
européen FP7 TARDIS prenant comme application les Serious games dans le
cas d’un entrainement à l’entretien d’embauche
(http://tardis.lip6.fr/presentation) et des travaux réalisés sur le
traitement des signaux sociaux dans le cadre du réseau d’excellence
SSPNET (http://sspnet.eu/) Une collaboration avec Candy Sidner,
professeur au département Computer Science du Worcester Polytechnic
Institute et experte en modèles computationnels d’intéractions verbales
et non verbales et à l’origine du moteur de dialogue DISCO (Richet et
al. 2012) sera également mise en place.

Fourth International Conference

on  Information and Communication Technology
and Accessibility

October 24-26, 2013, Hammamet, Tunisia

www.icta.rnu.tn

Call for papers

The fourth International Conference on ICT & Accessibility ICTA2013 is
organized by the Research Laboratory of Technologies of Information and
Communication and Electrical Engineering (LaTICE), of the University of
Tunis in collaboration with The Computing Center EL KHAWARIZMI (CCK),
with the technical co-sponsorship of IEEE Tunisian Section. This year’s
edition of ICTA has the theme of “Design 4 all”.

People with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive impairments are facing
many barriers to use ICT-based services.  Those barriers might vary as
the infrastructure changes and may prevent the access to information or
interactive services. Also, due to the richness of information, the
infrastructure and contingent factors like language barriers, everybody
can become situationally impaired. The focus will be then put on devices
and software to enhance the lives and promote the independence of people
with disabilities.

The conference explores the design, evaluation and use of computing and
information technologies to make life easier especially for specific
groups of users like people with disabilities. We therefore welcome high
quality and original papers relevant to these issues. Papers that
propose new tools, that assess solutions that show similarities or
differences between existent approaches are then expected. We also
encourage the participation of users and other interested parties as an
additional balance to the discussion. Our aim is to focus on
accessibility by encouraging participation from many disciplines. Views
bridge academia, commerce, and industry and arguments encompassing a
range of beliefs across the design-accessibility spectrum are presented.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by an international program
committee.  The accepted papers, posters and demonstrations will be
published in the IEEE Xplore and indexed by DBLP, Google scholar, and
many others. At least one author of the accepted submissions must
register as the presenter.

Conference venue

ICTA 2013 will be held at Hammamet city-Tunisia, 60 Km south east of the
northern peninsula of Cap-Bon. Hammamet has among North Africa's finest
beach resorts. Once a sleepy fishing village, Hammamet (the name comes
from the Arabic al-hammamat, meaning 'the baths') was awakened to its
tourist potential back in the 1920s when a flock of wealthy and arty
Americans and Europeans decided to make the beautiful bay their
destination. Despite its modern architectural and human incursions,
Hammamet retains its sense of exotic history, dominated by its
15th-century medina and souk packed with treasures like carpets, brass
ornaments, jewellery, pottery, and leather goods. The narrow winding
alleys also conceal bright, whitewashed windowless houses behind
splendid ornate doors. Hammamet also extends on large fields of orange
trees well known by their authentic taste.

Registration

The registration fees including: Proceedings, bag, lunches, coffee break
and Banquet dinner will be kept as low as possible to encourage large
participation (will be up to 350 euros).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Description :

The Health Terminology/Ontology Portal (HeTOP) was developed to provide
easy access to health terminologies and ontologies. The repository is
not only dedicated to professionals but is also a valuable teaching
tool. Currently, it provides access to fourty five health terminologies
and ontologies available mainly in French or in English, but also in
German, Italian, Chinese, etc. HeTOP can be used by both humans and
computers via Web services.

To integrate new resources into HeTOP, three steps are necessary: (1)
designing a meta-model into which each terminology (or ontology) can be
integrated, (2) developing a process to include terminologies into
HeTOP, (3) building and integrating existing and new inter &
intra-terminology semantic harmonization into HeTOP. Currently, 600
unique machines use the MeSH version of HeTOP every day and restricted
terminologies/ontologies are used for teaching purposes in several
medical schools in France. The multilingual version of HeTOP is
available (URL: http://hetop.eu/) and provides free access to ICD10 and
FMA in ten languages.

Conclusion: HeTOP is a rich tool, useful for a wide range of
applications and users, especially in education and resource indexing
but also in information retrieval or performing audits in terminology
management.

PSC'13 is the 18th event of the Prague Stringology Club. It is an
international conference focusing on stringology and related areas. It
is organized annually by the Prague Stringology Club, a research group
in the Department of Theoretical Computer Science at the Faculty of
Information Technology of Czech Technical University in Prague. The
proceedings of recent conferences are indexed in Scopus and DBLP.

TOPICS:

Stringology is a part of algorithmic research that deals with the
processing of text strings. It has existed for at least thirty years and
developed into a respected subfield of its own. The last twenty years
have produced an explosion of new results. This progress is due in part
to the human genome effort, an area to which string algorithms make
important contributions. String processing extends into tree processing
that is called Arbology. The topics of the conference include but are
not limited to:

  * algorithms for pattern matching in strings, images and trees
  * data structures (automata, trees etc.) for pattern matching
    in strings, images and trees
  * coding and data compression
  * bioinformatics
  * information retrieval
  * string processing algorithms in databases
  * searching for regularities
  * natural language processing

INVITED TALK:

  * Trees and Pushdown Automata
    Borivoj Melichar, Czech Technical University in Prague

HISTORY:

PSC'13 was preceded by Prague Stringology Workshops in 1996-2000 and by
Prague Stringology Conferences in 2001-2006, 2008-2012. Each year
proceedings are prepared for the conference. They are published by Czech
Technical University in Prague and are also available from the PSC web
pages. Selected papers from the later workshops were also published in a
special issue of the journal Kybernetika. Selected papers from the
2002-2006, 2008 conferences were then published in the Nordic Journal of
Computing, Journal of Automata, Languages, and Combinatorics, and
International Journal of Foundations in Computer Science. A special
issue for 2010 and 2011 is prepared for Discrete Applied Mathematics.

LOCATION & PUBLICATION:

PSC'13 will be held at the Department of Theoretical Computer Science
the Czech Technical University in Prague on September 2-4, 2013.  (The
precise location will be announced later.) The working language is
English. As usual, accepted papers will appear in conference proceedings
published by the Czech Technical University in Prague and distributed at
the conference. After further refereeing, selected papers will then be
published in an international journal.

Apologies for cross-posting.

Submissions are invited to the KDD13 Workshop on Issues of Sentiment
Discovery and Opinion Mining (http://sentic.net/wisdom), which aims to
explore how the wisdom of the crowds is affecting (and will affect) the
evolution of the Web and of businesses gravitating around it. In
particular, the ACM KDD workshop explores two different stages of
sentiment analysis: the former focusing on the identification of
opinionated text over the Web, the latter focusing on the classification
of such text either in terms of polarity detection or emotion
recognition. Deadline has been extended to 26th May.

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


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

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

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

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

**********************
**Enjeu scientifique**

Cette thèse s'intéresse plus particulièrement aux *expressions
polylexicales* (EP) figées ou semi-figées (en anglais: *Multi-Word
Expressions*, MWEs), telles que "pomme de terre", "prendre le taureau
par les cornes", "être à la hauteur de quelque chose", "ne pas voir plus
loin que le bout de son nez", etc. Ces expressions, bien qu'au centre
d'une longue tradition d'études linguistiques, constituent aujourd'hui
l'un des freins majeurs au développement d'applications de traitement de
la langue qui soient à la fois robustes et précises (Sag et al 2002).

Les expressions polylexicales [Rayson et al., 2010] sont omniprésentes
dans les corpus textuels et oraux. Elles peuvent recouvrir jusqu'à 40\%
de tous les mots d'un texte, mais elles sont difficiles à reconnaître, à
comprendre et à traduire par les outils actuels du TAL. L'une des
difficultés majeures réside dans les propriétés très hétérogènes des EP,
et cela à différents niveaux de traitement linguistique: segmentation,
lexique, syntaxe, sémantique, etc. Ceci conduit à une fragmentation des
connaissances sur les EP. Par exemple, les lexiques d'EP - telles que
noms composés [Gralinski et al 2010], noms propres polylexicaux [Tran
and Maurel, 2006], termes spécialisés [Savary et al., 2012],
dictionnaires de valences, lexiques-grammaires [Tolone and Sagot, 2011],
etc. - parfois de large couverture, sont souvent créés sans lien
explicite avec des formalismes grammaticaux [Savary, 2008]. De ce fait
l'exploitation de ces ressources précieuses, par exemple dans l'analyse
syntaxique automatique (parsing), est souvent difficile. D'autre part,
les grammaires existantes prennent rarement en compte les EP, même si
les formalismes grammaticaux associés (HPSG, LFG, TAG, CCG, grammaires
de dépendance, etc.) incluent des mécanismes pouvant permettre la
représentation de telles expressions.


**********************
**Projet de la thèse**

Cette thèse vise à élargir les connaissances des EP, pour pouvoir à
terme surmonter les difficultés mentionnées plus haut. Pour cela, elle
se placera à l'interface entre le lexique et la grammaire, et de
proposer des méthodes hybrides de représentation et de traitement des
EP: guidées à la fois par les connaissances (descriptions élaborées par
les linguistes) et par les données (corpus annotés). Nous allons
notamment nous intéresser aux questions suivantes:

- Comment exprimer les propriétés à la fois figées (nécessitant une
  description lexicale) et prévisibles (exprimables par une grammaire)
  des EP en plusieurs langues (le français, le polonais, l'anglais ou
  d'autres langues connues par le candidat) [Grégoire, 2010] ?

- En particulier, comment représenter les phénomènes pertinents pour
  l'analyse syntaxique (accord, discontinuité, ordre de mots variable,
  etc.) ?

- Comment structurer les lexiques des EP afin de les rendre utilisables
  par différents formalismes grammaticaux ?

- Comment intégrer de tels lexiques dans un système d'analyse syntaxique
  probabiliste [Nivre and Nilsson, 2004, Constant et al., 2012] ?

La progression de cette thèse pourra s'organiser comme suit: dans un
premier temps, nous envisagerons la création ou l'adaptation de
ressources lexicales d'EP pour un emploi par une grammaire. Suivra la
conception d'un formalisme lexical abstrait (par exemple sous forme
d'une méta-grammaire [Duchier et al., 2011b], [Crabbé et al., 2013]) qui
permettrait la description des propriétés hétérogènes des EP, compilable
vers différents formalismes grammaticaux. Son utilisabilité pour au
moins deux formalismes (par exemple TAG et LFG), ainsi que pour
l'analyse probabiliste, sera évaluée. Des prolongations possibles
incluent:

- l'expression de la sémantique des EP,
- la description des EP dans des formalismes grammaticaux novateurs tel
  que les grammaires de propriétés [Duchier et al., 2011a].


**************************
**Contexte international**

Cette thèse sera placée au centre de *action européene PARSEME* (PARsing
and Multi-word Expressions), récemment sélectionnée dans le cadre du
programme *COST*
(http://www.cost.eu/domains\_actions/ict/Actions/IC1207(. Il s'agit
d'une initiative qui rassemble un consortium de 25 pays européens et
deux pays hors Europe (USA et Brésil) autour des verrous scientifiques
liés au traitement automatique des expressions polylexicales. Les
laboratoires LI et LIFO comptent parmi les initiateurs de cette action,
qui a débuté au mois de mars 2013. Le doctorant encadré sur le sujet
présenté ici pourra bénéficier de soutiens financiers spécifiques pour
les déplacements à des réunions de travail de l'action, des missions de
courte durée dans différents pays partenaires, des écoles d'été ou
encore des conférences. Des liens particulièrement forts pourront être
noués avec le Laboratoire d'Informatique de l'Académie Polonaise des
Sciences à Varsovie (IPIPAN).

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


Call for Papers

The First Workshop on the Exploration, Navigation and Retrieval of
Information in Cultural Heritage - ENRICH 2013

http://www.cultura-strep.eu/events/enrich-2013/

To be held in conjunction with the 36th Annual ACM SIGIR Conference

Workshop date: August 1st, 2013

Location: Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.

Submission deadline: 9th June 2013

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

ENRICH 2013 has three main goals:

- to discuss the challenges and opportunities in Information Retrieval
  research in the area of Cultural Heritage

- to encourage collaboration between researchers engaged in work in this
  specialist area of Information Retrieval, and to foster the formation
  of a research community

- to identify a set of actions which the community should undertake to
  progress research in this area

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

A key challenge facing the curators and providers of digital cultural
heritage worldwide is to instigate, increase and enhance engagement with
their collections. To achieve this, a fundamental change in the way
these artefacts can be discovered, explored and contributed to by users
and communities is required. Cultural heritage artefacts are digital
representations of primary resources: manuscript collections, paintings,
books, photographs etc. The text-based resources are often innately
“noisy”, contain non-standard spelling, poor punctuation and obsolete
grammar and word forms. The image-based resources often have limited
associated metadata which describes the resources and their content. In
addition, the information needs and tasks of cultural heritage users are
often complex and diverse. This presents a specific set of challenges to
traditional Information Retrieval (IR) techniques and approaches.

This workshop will investigate the enhanced retrieval of, and
interaction with, cultural heritage collections. We are interested in
investigating innovative forms of personalised, multi-lingual IR, which
can include:

- IR approaches tailored to cope with the inconsistencies which are
  common in cultural heritage collections.

- Content-aware retrieval approaches which respond to the entities and
  relationships contained within artefacts and across collections.

- Personalised IR and presentation.

- Community-aware IR approaches which respond to community activity,
  interest, contribution and experience.

Such new forms of enhanced IR require rigorous evaluation and validation
using appropriate metrics, contrasting digital cultural heritage
collections and diverse users and communities. This workshop welcomes
submissions which investigate such evaluation, taking into account the
specific requirements of the domain. The nature of cultural heritage
resources means that content analysis in support of IR is of specific
interest. This includes the automated normalisation of historical texts,
the use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for entity extraction and
metadata generation.

The ENRICH workshop aims to promote the exchange of ideas between
researchers working on the theory and foundations of IR, cross and
multi-lingual IR, personalised IR and recommender systems.

There are numerous research areas that can support such improved
retrieval and exploration in the area of cultural heritage. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

- Multilingual semantic search
- Context-aware and semantic recommender systems
- Adaptation engines and algorithms for personalised multilingual IR
- User modeling and adaptation (e.g. creation and exploitation of
  individual or stereotypical user profiles)
- Content personalisation and personalised result presentation
  (e.g. beyond the ranked list)
- Domain modeling
- External knowledge resources for IR (e.g. ontologies)
- Evaluation methodologies and metrics for personalised multilingual IR
- Information Extraction, Data Mining and Natural Language Processing
- Social Network Analysis

*Submissions*

We invite researchers to submit two categories of paper:

Long paper submissions should report on substantial contributions of
lasting value. Each accepted long paper will be presented in a plenary
session of the workshop program. The maximum length is 8 pages.

Short paper submissions should discuss exciting new work that is not yet
mature enough for a long paper. The presentation may include the
demonstration of a system. The maximum length is 4 pages.

Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the workshop.


All submissions should be prepared according to the ACM SIG Proceedings
Templates, as for all SIGIR submissions.

For your convenience, you can use the templates for Microsoft Word or
LaTeX that have been made available on the ACM website:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates/


The ENRICH Workshop does not use blind reviews, so please include
authors’ names and affiliations on your submission. All submissions will
receive several independent reviews.
Submissions must be in PDF format and must be in English.
All papers must be submitted electronically before the 9th of June 2013
through the EasyChair submission page
-https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=enrich2013

ENRICH 2013 will be hosted in the Long Room Hub, the Digital Arts and
Humanities Research Institute of Trinity College Dublin
-http://www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub/. The Long Room Hub is a signature
building at the heart of the historic TCD campus. The institute takes
its name from the Library's iconic ‘Long Room'. The Long Room Hub is the

--FCA4AI-- 
``What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?'' 
(Second Edition) 
co-located with IJCAI 2013 

August 3-5, 2013 

Beijing, China 

http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru 

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

The first edition of the FCA4AI Workshop at ECAI 2012 in Montpellier
showed that many researchers working in Artificial Intelligence are
indeed interested by a powerful method for classification and mining
such as Formal Concept Analysis (http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-939/). We have
the chance to organize a new edition of the workshop in Beijing at the
IJCAI 2013 Conference.

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory
aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a
concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications) which can be
used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge processing involving learning,
knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology
engineering, and as well as information retrieval and text processing.
Thus, there exist many ``natural links'' between FCA and AI.

Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around
FCA, in particular a strand of work emerged that is aimed at extending
the possibilities of FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing, such as work on
pattern structures and relational context analysis. These extensions are
aimed at allowing FCA to deal with more complex than just binary data,
both from the data analysis and knowledge discovery point of view and
from the knowledge representation point of view, including, e.g.,
ontology engineering.  All these works extend the capabilities of FCA
and offer new possibilities for AI activities in the framework of FCA.

Accordingly, in this workshop, we will be interested in two main issues: 

- How can FCA support AI activities such as knowledge processing
  (knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning),
  learning (clustering, pattern and data mining), natural language
  processing, information retrieval.

- How can FCA be extended in order to help AI researchers to solve new
  and complex problems in their domain.

The workshop is dedicated to discuss such issues. 

INVITED SPEAKER 
TBA 

TOPICS OF INTEREST include but are not limited to: 

- Concept lattices and related structures: description logics, pattern
  structures, relational structures.

- Knowledge discovery and data mining with FCA: association rules,
  itemsets and data dependencies, attribute implications, data
  pre-processing, redundancy and dimensionality reduction,
  classification and clustering.

- Knowledge engineering and ontology engineering: knowledge
  representation and reasoning.

- Scalable algorithms for concept lattices and artificial intelligence
  ``in the large'' (distributed aspects, big data).

- Applications of concept lattices: semantic web, information retrieval,
  visualization and navigation, pattern recognition.

The workshop will include time for audience discussion for having a
better understanding of the issues, challenges, and ideas being
presented.

IMPORTANT DATES: 

Submission deadline: May 13, 2013 
Notification to authors: June 17, 2013 
Final version: July 08, 2013 
Workshop: August 03-05, 2013 


SUBMISSION DETAILS: 

The workshop welcomes submissions in pdf format in Springer's LNCS
style.
Submissions can be 
- technical papers not exceeding 8 pages, 
- system descriptions or position papers on work in progress not 
  exceeding 4 pages 

Submissions are via EasyChair at 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fca4ai2013 

The workshop proceedings will be published as CEUR proceedings. 
A selection of the best papers presented at the workshop will be
considered for a special issue of a high-level journal.

3 Juin 2013
9h- 9h30 Accueil
LIRMM, 161 rue Ada, 34095 Montpellier Cedex 5 - France
---------------------------------
  
Intermédiaire entre discours oral et écrit, les fora de discussion en
ligne sont des espaces d’échanges asynchrones de messages textuels. La
journée porte plus précisément sur l’utilisation et sur les perspectives
d’exploitation des fora qui permettent à des internautes en tout genre
(le plus souvent, n’étant pas des professionnels de la santé) d'échanger
à propos de leur santé.
 
Une première lecture des messages de tels fora nous montre que les
patients les utilisent :

	- pour partager leurs expériences et trouver une oreille
          attentive et réconfortante à leurs problèmes.

	- dans une perspective d’automédication, pour identifier le bon
          produit, un médicament ou une thérapie « naturelle » et les
          lieux où l'on peut se procurer ces produits. Certains
          “patients-auteurs” adaptent ainsi le dosage d'une prescription
          en s'inspirant des expériences des autres.

	- pour gérer les effets des traitements, en anticipant ou en
          essayant de limiter les effets secondaires. Ainsi, souvent
          très critiques avec le discours médical, ils développent une
          réelle attitude de consommateur proactif.

 
Différentes études ont montré que la communication et l'anonymat
derrière un ordinateur facilitent l'expression d'émotions ou d'opinions
qui sont généralement réprimées lors de communications plus
traditionnelles comme des interviews en face à face ou des enquêtes. En
outre, en complément de leur lecture et contribution aux fora, les
patients veulent souvent identifier des pointeurs vers des informations
« vérifiées » en santé.
 
Analyser les fora de santé est donc un enjeu important pour les
professionnels de santé car ils représentent une base volumineuse,
riche, variée, unique, atypique… de connaissances des perceptions qu'ont
les patients de leur maladie et des soins qui leur sont éventuellement
prodigués. Dans ce contexte subjectif, la caractérisation et la
compréhension de ces perceptions est difficile, mais particulièrement
intéressante afin de compléter et améliorer les programmes de santé
publique. De nombreux verrous sont associés à l’analyse semi-automatique
de ces fora, en particulier la volumétrie des textes et leur
hétérogénéité, aussi bien dans leur structure que dans leur contenu.

Cette journée a pour but de confronter les expériences des chercheurs,
des industriels et des professionnels de santé confrontés à des
problématiques liées à l’utilisation des informations présentes dans les
fora de santé ou travaillant sur des technologies permettant de les
exploiter. La journée s'organisera autour des points suivants :

	- Exposer des besoins concernant l'utilisation des informations
          présentes dans les fora, rencontrés dans différents domaines
          d’application en santé, de façon à situer les discussions
          ultérieures dans des perspectives concrètes.

	- Présenter différentes approches de modélisation,
          représentation et traitement des informations contenues dans
          les fora de santé

	- Appréhender des travaux, outils et projets développés autour
          de l’exploitation des fora et souligner ainsi les apports et
          verrous identifiés.

Computing Veracity of Social Media Healthcare Content
University of Sheffield - Department of Computer Science

Natural Language Processing Group

3-year studentship

The NLP group at the University of Sheffield is inviting applications
for a fully funded PhD studentship on computing veracity of social media
content.

Application closing date is 31 May 2013.

The aim of this studentship is to design natural language processing
methods to compute veracity of social media content and deal with the
specifics of medical language. The goal is to model, identify, and
verify healthcare-related misinformation and disinformation, as they
spread across online media (e.g. patient forums) and social
networks. Natural language processing (NLP) now provides many
indispensable tools for working with large unstructured text
collections, allowing effective search, information extraction and
translation. Social media content poses a number of difficult and
interesting NLP research challenges. The studentship will also involve a
close collaboration with healthcare researchers from a large NHS trust
and opportunities for working with natural language processing of
clinical records.

The PhD studentship will be associated to a larger research project
about developing novel cross-disciplinary social semantic methods,
combining document semantics, a priori large-scale world knowledge
(e.g. Linked Open Data) and a posteriori knowledge and context from
social networks, past user behaviour, and spatio-temporal metadata. The
research will also involve use of and further development of GATE
(http://gate.ac.uk), which is a leading open-source NLP toolkit,
developed by an established team of 12 researchers.

Candidates should have a First Class Honours or a good 2.1 degree in
Computer Science and have excellent computer programming
skills. Experience with natural language processing and machine learning
techniques is essential, and detailed knowledge of biomedical NLP,
medical ontologies, and Linked Open Data are highly desirable. A
background in linguistics and/or fluency in multiple languages would
also be desirable, but is not strictly necessary.

The grant will cover all study fees for EU and UK nationals and a living
stipend for three years plus a travel fund for attending collaborative
meetings and international conferences.

For further information please contact Dr Kalina Bontcheva
(K.Bontcheva at dcs.shef.ac.uk).

Second call for papers

"Current research in readability and text simplification"

A special issue of the International Journal of Applied Linguistics
(ITL)
(http://poj.peeters-leuven.be/content.php?url=journal&journal_code=itl)
#############################################################

With the rapid growth of the number of online documents, Internet has
become a formidable source of information. However, most of the reliable
websites are intended for rather experienced readers and can present
comprehension difficulties for certain types of readers, such as
children, learners of a foreign language, or readers with language
deficits. To offer those kind of readers a better access to information,
two strategies based on natural language processing (NLP) have been
investigated in recent years: readability and text simplification.

Readability includes a range of methods targeted at the automatic
evaluation of text difficulty in relation to a given population of
readers. Throughout the 20th century, various readability formulas have
been developped (Dale and Chall, 1948; Flesch, 1948 ; Fry, 1968). They
have been recently enhanced using various contributions from NLP, such
as language models (Collins-Thompson, 2005, Schwarm and Ostendorf, 2005
; Heilman et al., 2007, ...), various aspects of discourse (Pitler and
Nenkova, 2008; Feng et al., 2010) or multiword expressions (Watrin and
François, 2011). Moreover, criteria identified by researchers in
psycholinguistics or language acquisition are increasingly taken into
account.

These formulas have also been used within web platforms, such as Read-X
(Miltsakaki, 2009) or REAP (Collins-Thompson and Callan, 2004), to help
readers find on the web documents matching their level. However, it is
sometimes the case that, for a given topic, there are no target
documents suitable for a specific user. In this context, automatic text
simplification has appeared as a possible way to make existing texts
accessible to poorer readers that would normally have trouble processing
them.

Automatic text simplification indeed aims at generating a simplified
version of an input text. Two main types of automatic simplification
methods can be distinguished : (i) lexical simplification, which aims at
replacing complex words or expressions with simpler synonyms or
paraphrases and (ii) syntactic simplification, which modifies the
structure of sentences, by deleting, moving or replacing difficult
syntactic structures. In recent years, methods for automatic
simplification have been largely influenced by other domains of NLP.
Lexical simplification, as it consists in finding a suitable synonym or
paraphrase for a complex expression, is closely related to the task of
lexical substitution, which, in turn, is related to Word Sense
Disambiguation (Specia et al., 2012). Statistical Machine Translation
methods have also influenced text simplification, as large comparable
corpora such as Wikipedia and the Simple English Wikipedia have become
available (Zhu et al., 2010 ; Wubben et al., 2012 ; ...).

This special issue will therefore address these two areas of increasing
importance, with a focus on systems informed by research on language
acquisition or used in the context of computer-assisted language
learning (CALL). To be more specific, all following contributions are
suitable for publication (the list is not exclusive):

   - readability formulas for L1 or for L2 including some NLP components
   - readability formulas taking into account some characteristics of a
     specific population of learners (such as readers with a given L1,
     etc.)
   - NLP approaches of text understandability.
   - lexical, syntactic, or semantic approaches of text simplification
     in the context of CALL.
   - contributions of readability to text simplification
   - tools or techniques providing a more detailed difficulty diagnosis
     for users (e.g. difficult words or syntactic structures).

All contributions should explicitly discuss how they relate to current
research in language acquisition, educational linguistics or
computer-assisted language learning.

WASSS description

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

This workshop will be especially the place where “social emotions” will
be debated from different points of view, with different meanings
depending on the domain.

Title: Hidden Markov tree models for semantic class induction

Abstract: In this talk, I present a new method for semantic class
induction. First, I introduce a generative model of sentences, based on
dependency trees and which takes into account polysemy. This model can
be seen as a generalization of Brown clustering. Second, I describe an
efficient algorithm to perform inference and learning in this
model. Third, I show results obtained on two large datasets ($10^8$
tokens, $10^5$ words types), and demonstrate that classes induced by our
algorithm improve performance over Brown clustering on the tasks of
semi-supervised supersense tagging and named entity recognition.

Description:

Under the denomination "multiword expression", one assumes a wide range
of linguistic constructions such as idioms (storm in a teacup, sweep
under the rug), fixed phrases (in vitro, by and large, rock'n roll),
noun compounds (olive oil, laser printer), compound verbs (take a nap,
bring about), etc. While easily mastered by native speakers, their
interpretation poses a major challenge for computational systems, due to
their flexible and heterogeneous nature.

For starters, MWEs are not nearly as frequent in NLP resources as they
are in real-word text, and this problem of coverage may impact the
performance of many NLP tasks. Moreover, treating MWEs also involves
problems like determining their semantics, which is not always
compositional (to kick the bucket meaning to die). In sum, MWEs are a
key issue and a current weakness for natural language parsing and
generation, as well as real-life applications depending on language
technology, such as machine translation, just to name a prominent one
among many.

Thanks to the joint efforts of researchers from several fields working
on MWEs, significant progress has been made in recent years, especially
concerning the construction of large-scale language resources. For
instance, there is a large number of recent papers that focus on
acquisition of MWEs from corpora, and others that describe a variety of
techniques to find paraphrases for MWEs. Current methods use a plethora
of tools such as association measures, machine learning, syntactic
patterns, web queries, etc. A considerable body of techniques, resources
and tools to perform these tasks are now available, and are indicative
of the growing importance of the field within the NLP community.

Many of these advances are described as part of the annual workshop on
MWEs, that attracts the attention of an ever-growing community working
on a variety of languages and MWE types. The workshop has been held
since 2001 in conjunction with major computational linguistics
conferences (ACL, COLING, LREC and EACL), providing an important venue
for the community to interact, share resources and tools and collaborate
on efforts for advancing the computational treatment of
MWEs. Additionally, special issues on MWEs have been published by
leading journals in computational linguistics. The latest such effort is
the special issue on “Multiword Expressions: from Theory to Practice and
Use”, currently under publication from the ACM Transactions on Speech
and Language Processing.

MWE 2013 will be the 9th event in the series. We will be interested in
major challenges in the overall process of MWE treatment, both from the
theoretical and the computational viewpoint, focusing on original
research related (but not limited) to the following topics:

- Manually and automatically constructed resources
- Representation of MWEs in dictionaries and ontologies
- MWEs in linguistic theories like HPSG, LFG and minimalism
- MWEs and user interaction
- Multilingual acquisition
- Multilingualism and MWE processing
- Models of first and second language acquisition of MWEs
- Crosslinguistic studies on MWEs
- The role of MWEs in the domain adaptation of parsers
- Integration of MWEs into NLP applications
- Evaluation of MWE treatment techniques
- Lexical, syntactic or semantic aspects of MWEs

The workshop is endorsed by ACL SIGLEX, the Special Interest Group on
the Lexicon of the Association for Computational Linguistics.

suivant : modélisation informatique de l’évolution des langues au moyen
des grammaires de construction fluides (fluid construction grammars). La
thèse est soumise à l'acceptation du dossier par l'ANRT.

Les grammaires de construction fluides sont des grammaires à base de
structures typées réversibles, permettant à la fois l'analyse et la
génération.  Elles ont fait l'objet de nombreuses publications et ont
été appliquées avec succès pour modéliser différentes langues et
différents phénomènes linguistiques. Pour plus de détails, voir le site
Web dédié : http://www.fcg-net.org/.

Un projet de recherche en cours vise à modéliser dans ce formalisme des
questions de linguistique historique, afin de mieux mettre en évidence
les paramètres en jeu dans l'évolution des langues. Certains phénomènes
ont déjà été étudiés dans ce cadre, comme par exemple l'évolution du
système de cas en allemand (van Trijp, 2012) ou l'étude des phénomènes
d'accord (Beuls & Steels, 2013).

L'offre de thèse vise à amplifier cet effort. Le candidat devra
implémenter dans le cadre des grammaires de construction fluide un ou
des phénomènes d'évolution linguistique qui présentent un intérêt
particulier sur le plan pratique ou théorique (lien entre données
linguistiques et formalisation ; évolutions éventuelles du formalisme ;
modélisation du rythme de l'évolution linguistique, etc.).

Compétences requises :

Le candidat devra avoir des connaissances avancées en linguistique et en
informatique. Des compétences en linguistique diachronique seraient un
plus. La connaissance d'un langage de script (perl, python) et d'un
langage informatique (java, Prolog, Lisp) est nécessaire.


Déroulement de la thèse :

La thèse sera co-encadrée par Luc Steels (Sony CSL) et Thierry Poibeau
(LATTICE). Les deux laboratoires sont proches géographiquement, ce qui
permettra des échanges réguliers et un réel co-encadrement afin de
couvrir au mieux les différents aspects du sujet.


Comment candidater ?

Les étudiants intéressés sont invités à se signaler et à envoyer dès que
possible un CV à Thierry Poibeau (prenom.nom at ens.fr). Les éléments
suivants seront ensuite demandés : lettre de motivation, relevé de notes
et mémoire de Master. Nous souhaitons pouvoir sélectionner un candidat
avant l'été 2013 mais le poste restera ouvert si aucune candidature
n'est retenue à cette date.

Résumé : L'extraction d'information non supervisée en domaine ouvert est
une évolution récente de l'extraction d'information adaptée à des
contextes dans lesquels le besoin informationnel est faiblement
spécifié. Dans ce cadre, la thèse se concentre plus particulièrement sur
l'extraction et le regroupement de relations entre entités en se donnant
la possibilité de traiter des volumes importants de données.

L'extraction de relations se fixe ici pour objectif de faire émerger des
relations de type non prédéfini à partir de textes. Elle est réalisée en
deux temps : des relations candidates sont d'abord extraites sur la base
de critères simples mais efficaces pour être ensuite filtrées selon des
critères plus avancés. Ce filtrage associe lui-même deux étapes: une
première étape utilise des heuristiques pour éliminer rapidement les
fausses relations en conservant un bon rappel tandis qu'une seconde
étape se fonde sur des modèles statistiques pour raffiner la sélection
des relations candidates.

Le regroupement de relations a quant à lui pour objectif d'organiser les
relations extraites pour en caractériser le type et en offrir une vue
synthétique. Il est réalisé dans le cas présent selon une stratégie
multiniveau permettant de prendre en compte à la fois un volume
important de relations et des critères de regroupement élaborés. Un
premier niveau de regroupement, dit de base, réunit des relations
proches de par leur expression linguistique grâce à une mesure de
similarité vectorielle appliquée à une représentation de type
sac-de-mots pour former des clusters fortement homogènes. Un second
niveau de regroupement est ensuite appliqué pour traiter des phénomènes
plus sémantiques tels que la synonymie et la paraphrase et fusionner des
clusters de base recouvrant des relations équivalentes sur le plan
sémantique. Ce second niveau s'appuie sur la définition de mesures de
similarité au niveau des mots, des relations et des clusters de
relations en exploitant soit des ressources de type WordNet, soit des
thésaurus distributionnels. Un clustering des relations de nature
thématique permet enfin d'améliorer la précision des clusters de
relations formés en s'appuyant sur un contexte plus global.

La thèse aborde également le problème de l'évaluation de l'extraction
d'information non supervisée par l'entremise de mesures internes et
externes. Pour les mesures externes, une méthode interactive est
proposée pour construire manuellement un large ensemble de clusters de
référence. Son application sur un corpus journalistique de grande taille
a donné lieu à la construction d'une référence vis-à-vis de laquelle les
différentes méthodes de regroupement proposées dans la thèse ont été
évaluées.

Mots-clés : Extraction d'information non supervisée, extraction de
relations, regroupement de relations, similarité sémantique


Abstract : Unsupervised information extraction in open domain gains more
and more importance recently by loosening the constraints on the strict
definition of the extracted information and allowing to design more open
information extraction systems. In this new domain of unsupervised
information extraction, this thesis focuses on the tasks of extraction
and clustering of relations between entities at a large scale.

The objective of relation extraction is to discover unknown relations
from texts. A relation prototype is first defined, with which candidates
of relation instances are initially extracted with a minimal
criterion. To guarantee the validity of the extracted relation
instances, a two-step filtering procedures is applied: the first step
with filtering heuristics to remove efficiently large amount of false
relations and the second step with statistical models to refine the
relation candidate selection.

The objective of relation clustering is to organize extracted relation
instances into clusters so that their relation types can be
characterized by the formed clusters and a synthetic view can be offered
to end-users. A multi-level clustering procedure is design, which allows
to take into account the massive data and diverse linguistic phenomena
at the same time. First, the basic clustering groups similar relation
instances by their linguistic expressions using only simple similarity
measures on a bag-of-word representation for relation instances to form
high- homogeneous basic clusters. Second, the semantic clustering aims
at grouping basic clusters whose relation instances share the same
semantic meaning, dealing with more particularly phenomena such as
synonymy or more complex paraphrase. Different similarities measures,
either based on resources such as WordNet or distributional thesaurus,
at the level of words, relation instances and basic clusters are
analyzed. Moreover, a topic-based relation clustering is proposed to
consider thematic information in relation clustering so that more
precise semantic clusters can be formed.

Finally, the thesis also tackles the problem of clustering evaluation in
the context of unsupervised information extraction, using both internal
and external measures. For the evaluations with external measures, an
interactive and efficient way of building reference of relation clusters
proposed. The application of this method on a newspaper corpus results
in a large reference, based on which different clustering methods are
evaluated.

Keywords: Unsupervised information extraction, relation extraction,
relation clustering, semantic similarity

l'interprétation des données textuelles :*

Que faire des corpus (une fois) numérisés ? L'exemple du discours
littéraire*

Université de Caen, 4 juin 2013
Maison de la Recherche et des Sciences de l'Homme (MRSH), Salle des
Actes SH 027 (participation gratuite sans inscription)

Organisation : Pôle du document numérique de la MRSH de l'Université de
Caen Basse-Normandie

Journée soutenue par le PRES Normandie-Université

Thierry Charnois, Greyc, Université de Caen

Dominique Legallois, Crisco, Université de Caen

     La numérisation de corpus littéraires, suivie parfois d'édition en
ligne, ne s'inscrit pas uniquement dans une démarche de sauvegarde ou de
valorisation du patrimoine : elle constitue avant tout une étape vers
une herméneutique sachant mettre à profit les données issues d'analyses
diverses : concordances, co-occurrences, vocabulaire spécifique,
segments répétés, progression du vocabulaire, champs thématiques et
lexicaux, etc. Ces données peuvent être déterminées à partir de simples
fréquences, ou par des méthodes statistiques éprouvées par la
textométrie ; elles peuvent être mises en évidence par des logiciels
relativement peu élaborés (simples concordanciers), ou bien par des
outils plus complexes (plateformes textométriques).

     C'est dans l'objectif de mieux faire connaître à des non
spécialistes, des analyses possibles -- voire des modèles d'analyse -
que le pôle pluridisciplinaire « Document Numérique » de la MRSH de
l'Université de Caen organise une journée d'étude sur l'interprétation
des données textuelles littéraires ; il s'agira donc de présenter
différents travaux proposant des méthodes d'investigation, mais aussi
des méthodes interprétatives qui mettent en évidence tel phénomène, ou
qui contribuent à valider ou invalider des hypothèses de recherche. Ces
études auront le souci principal d'illustrer l'exploitation de données
quantitatives et qualitatives à des fins d'interprétation, ou d'analyse
stylistique, et de permettre aux non-spécialistes de s'approprier des
méthodes pertinentes ou de mieux les comprendre.

     Le discours littéraire est donné comme objet d'étude, mais les
méthodes et exemples seront en partie transposables à d'autres genres et
à d'autres disciplines des sciences humaines (histoire, sociologie,
philosophie, par exemple).

*Segments répétés et motifs, comme pratiques d'investigation et
d'analyse des textes littéraires : l'exemple des Rougon-Macquart*

Nous proposons d'abord une illustration de l'analyse des textes
littéraires par le biais de l'identification des segments répétés ; les
segments répétés (Salem 1987) sont des suites récurrentes de mots,
devenues facilement détectables par des outils simples (par exemple, le
concordancier Antconc). Appliquée à la saga des Rougon-Macquart,
l'analyse par les segments répétés révèle un phénomène spectaculaire,
parfois aperçu par la critique, mais dont l'ampleur n'a jamais été
mesurée ni appréciée : Zola use d'une stratégie d'écriture fondée sur la
répétition de segments (allant du syntagme à la phrase, mais aussi au
paragraphe), les segments pouvant être séparés par plusieurs centaines
de pages. On note aussi quelques cas d'intertextualité où des segments
d'une oeuvre des Rougon sont repris dans une autre oeuvre. On proposera
une caractérisation générale de ces reprises.

Par ailleurs, la fouille de données, qui est une discipline
informatique, utilise des méthodes et outils pour identifier des
régularités dans les bases de données de grande taille. Ces régularités
prennent la forme de /motifs/. On peut voir ces motifs comme une
extension des segments répétés (cf. aussi la communication de D.
Longrée), la différence principale étant que, contrairement aux segments
répétés, les éléments constitutifs des motifs, ne sont pas
nécessairement contigus, et peuvent porter aussi bien simultanément sur
des formes, des lemmes ou des catégories grammaticales. L'utilisation de
contraintes ou d'annotations dans les textes donne la possibilité
d'orienter la fouille, et de faire émerger divers types de motifs
linguistiques. On présentera brièvement ce paradigme de la fouille de
données séquentielles pour l'analyse des textes, et on l'illustrera par
une application aux Rougon-Macquart. Ainsi, des caractéristiques
auctoriales ou génériques peuvent-elles émerger à partir des
spécificités des motifs.

*L'analyse des données textuelles : au-delà du "sac de mots" (approches
topologiques et réticulaires) *

Depuis les années 1950, les méthodes d'analyse statistique des données
textuelles ont permis de mieux décrire et caractériser la langue et le
style de documents très variés (oeuvres littéraires, discours
politiques, articles de journaux, enquêtes orales, etc.). Celles les
plus couramment utilisées aujourd'hui reposent essentiellement sur des
dénombrements d'occurrences de formes, de lemmes, de catégories
grammaticales au sein des divers textes. Ces dénombrements permettent
d'obtenir des tableaux chiffrés (tableaux de contingence) auxquels on
fait subir un certain nombre de tests éprouvés (test de Pearson ou du
Chi2, écart réduit, analyse factorielle des correspondances, analyse
arborée...). Ces méthodes ont donné d'excellents résultats et permettent
généralement de mieux évaluer les distances entre textes selon le genre,
l'époque, l'auteur... Elles se sont toutefois assez rapidement heurtées
au fait qu'un texte n'est pas un sac dans lequel seraient rassemblées en
vrac ses unités constitutives (par exemple, ce n'est pas parce que deux
textes contiennent la même proportion d'occurrences d'imparfait par
rapport aux autres temps verbaux que l'imparfait y est utilisé de la
même manière). Les approches topologiques et réticulaires permettent
heureusement de mieux prendre en compte le texte comme un espace
ordonné. Ainsi, la notion de « motif », introduite récemment, fournit un
outil permettant d'étudier des objets complexes formés par des
associations récurrentes et ordonnées d'éléments du texte muni de sa
structure linéaire. L'examen des cooccurrences, notamment des
cooccurrences généralisées, met en évidence l'existence de réseaux
structurant les textes. A partir de quelques exemples concrets, on
illustrera comment ces nouveaux outils peuvent servir à mieux
caractériser des genres, des modes d'expression ou des styles.

*Traitement lexicométrique d'un dossier génétique : Bouvard et Pécuchet*

Grâce à la numérisation des manuscrits de /Bouvard et Pécuchet/ mise en
ligne par le CÉRÉdI de l'université de Rouen, il est possible de
pratiquer sur cet épais dossier génétique des études de statistique
lexicale. Travailler sur un texte manuscrit, corrigé, raturé, inséré
impose évidemment des précautions méthodologiques mais permet de
travailler sur des catégories nouvelles en lexicométrie. Il est ainsi
possible de répondre à des questions qui portent sur la /manière /de
l'écrivain : quels sont les mots qu'il rature le plus souvent ? Ceux
qu'il insère, qu'il élague entre le manuscrit et sa mise au propre ? Les
premiers résultats de ce travail ont déjà été présentés aux flaubertiens
; il s'agira ici d'insister plutôt sur la méthodologie du traitement
lexicométrique d'un corpus génétique, et de réfléchir à la possibilité
de l'appliquer à d'autres dossiers

*Contraster deux corpus narratifs : distinctions formelles et génériques
entre récits fictionnels et récits factuels (récits de voyage)*

Le travail présente une analyse différentielle et contrastive de deux
corpus narratifs du XIXe siècle. L'un à vocation fictionnelle, l'autre à
visée factuelle, le récit de voyage. L'enjeu est de parvenir à établir
des distinctions formelles génériques, par le biais du logiciel
d'analyse hypertextuelle, Hyperbase. Le corpus d'étude regroupe douze
binômes d'oeuvres d'écrivains, un récit de fiction d'une part, un récit
de voyage d'autre part. L'outil statistique aidera à dégager en
particulier une poétique du récit de voyage, entendue comme l'étude de
l'échange permanent entre les structures formelles de la langue et
l'interprétation à leur donner.

Bénédicte Pincemin, Université de Lyon 2, ICAR

*Fonctionnalités textométriques pour l'analyse littéraire : possibilités
offertes par le logiciel libre TXM*

En restant toujours au plus proche du texte tout en ouvrant de nouveaux
types de lecture et de nouvelles pistes interprétatives, la textométrie
intéresse les chercheurs en sciences humaines pour étudier
méthodiquement leurs corpus numériques. D'autre part, TXM est un
logiciel récent (adapté à l'état de l'art des corpus, potentiellement
structurés et enrichis) et accessible (logiciel libre, multiplateformes
-windows, mac, linux-, avec une interface conviviale). Cette
présentation mettra en relation des fonctionnalités du logiciel et leur
usage possible en contexte littéraire. L'accent pourra être mis sur des
apports originaux de TXM : structuration et restructuration des corpus,
travail simultanément sur de multiples niveaux de description, souplesse
des concordances, caractérisation distributionnelle d'un mot ou d'une
construction, repérage et quantification de traits stylistiques.

Résumé :

Dans cette thèse, nous abordons la question de la construction d'une
"algèbre" des relations de discours (ou relations rhétoriques) – en
s'inspirant des algèbres temporelles comme celle de Allen (1983) –
constituée d'un ensemble de règles de déduction de relations de
discours.  Disposer de telles règles présente un intérêt dans plusieurs
tâches reliées à l'analyse automatique du discours : cela peut permettre
de déduire des informations implicitement contenues dans des annotations
discursives (manuelles ou automatiques), soit dans le but d'aider
l'annotation (en prédisant des relations ou en détectant des
incohérences), soit dans le but de comparer plusieurs annotations d'un
même discours (dans le cadre de la construction de corpus ou dans le
cadre de l'évaluation de systèmes d'analyse automatique). Or, les
théories d'analyse du discours ne définissent pas (ou peu) de règles de
ce type. La thèse se concentre donc sur cette question.

Dans un premier temps, nous abordons l'ensemble des questions soulevées
par la construction d'une algèbre des relations de discours, qui
concernent essentiellement les propriétés des structures discursives,
des relations de discours, et de l'ensemble des relations de
discours. Après avoir défini l'ensemble de relations utilisé, nous
restreignons notre étude à des discours constitués de trois unités
discursives élémentaires, pour lesquels nous proposons une méthodologie
de construction des règles. Cette méthodologie vise à identifier, en
partant d'une prémisse de règle contenant deux relations *R1(a,b)* et
*R2(b,c)*, l'ensemble des relations pouvant être établies entre *a* et
*c*. Elle allie l'examen des contraintes sémantiques établies par les
relations en jeu, qui sont formalisées dans des travaux comme ceux de la
SDRT (Asher, 2003), l'analyse de données construites, et l'analyse de
données empiriques. Ces données empiriques sont extraites
automatiquement en s'appuyant sur la présence de connecteurs de discours
signalant les relations. Pour l'analyse des données contenant deux
relations *R1(a,b)* et *R2(b,c)*, plusieurs tests linguistiques sont
utilisés pour déterminer si les unités *a* et *c* sont reliées
rhétoriquement, et si oui, par quelle relation. Enfin, cette
méthodologie est déclinée sur un ensemble de prémisses mettant en jeu
des interactions entre différents "groupes" de relations : l'interaction
entre relations temporelles et causales, l'interaction entre relations
causales et adversatives, et l'interaction entre relations causales.

Proposition de thèse en TAL/informatique

Lieu: Grenoble, France

Début: Octobre 2013

Durée: 3 ans

Financement: Région Rhône-Alpes, ARC « TIC et usages informatiques
innovants », 1680 euros brut par mois

Titre: Communiquer par SMS : Analyse automatique du langage et
extraction de l’information véhiculée.

Directeurs: Georges Antoniadis (laboratoire LIDILEM, Grenoble) -
Matthieu Quignard (laboratoire ICAR, Lyon)

Depuis le 3 décembre 1992, date d’envoi du premier SMS (Short Message
Service) par Neil Papworth, employé d’une société informatique
britannique, ce mode de communication est devenu rapidement courant et
familier pour une très grande partie de la population mondiale. En 2011,
plus de 4000 milliards de SMS auraient été envoyés dans le monde. En
France, l’utilisation du SMS est en forte progression les 10 dernières
années : 3,5 milliards de SMS envoyés en 2001, 147,2 milliards en 2011,
et 89,8 milliards pour les 6 premiers mois de 2012 (Fédération Française
des Télécoms, http://www.fftelecoms.org).

L’objectif de cette thèse est d’étudier le langage SMS français et de
construire un système pour l’extraction automatique des informations
contenues dans les SMS. L’élaboration d’un tel système passe par la
définition et la mise en œuvre des méthodes et procédures issues du
traitement automatique des langues (TAL). Le point de départ sera
l’étude et l’exploitation du corpus de 22000 SMS réels, collectés dans
les Alpes, avec l’aide du Conseil Général des Hautes-Alpes.

Le projet prend appui sur les connaissances et outils du laboratoire
LIDILEM de Grenoble concernant la conception et l’exploitation de corpus
langagiers ainsi que de systèmes pour le traitement automatique des
langues et ses applications, en particulier l’extraction
d’informations. Dans le cadre de cette thèse ils seront couplés avec
l’expertise du laboratoire ICAR concernant l’étude et l’exploitation du
contenu des corpus langagiers. Le Pôle Innovation Viseo de l’entreprise
Objet Direct de Grenoble, et sa responsable Mme Frédérique SEGOND, est
partenaire du projet ; il apportera son expertise en génie logiciel et
TAL, et s’intéresse aux applications de l’outil d’extraction
d’informations contenues dans les SMS.

Description du sujet:

Une opération de collecte de SMS dans les Alpes, organisée dans le cadre
du projet sms4science et avec l’appui du Conseil Général des
Hautes-Alpes, a permis de constituer un corpus de 22000 SMS réels. Les
SMS collectés ont été anonymisés et transcrits en français.

Le sujet proposé a comme point de départ l’exploitation des données de
ce corpus.

L’objectif visé par cette thèse est double :

a) Etudier la structure du langage SMS français et élaborer un analyseur
   capable d’enrichir automatiquement le texte des SMS par des
   informations morphosyntaxiques et sémantiques, associées.

b) Elaborer une méthodologie et un système pour l’extraction des
   informations pertinentes contenues dans les SMS.

La méthodologie à mettre en œuvre pour le premier objectif, prend appui
sur la problématique du traitement automatique des langues, ses
procédures et ses techniques. Elles doivent néanmoins être adaptées pour
la structuration particulière du langage SMS, et être optimisées en ce
sens. Les résultats attendus pourront être utilisés pour bon nombre
d’applications embarquées liées à l’écriture, la lecture et la gestion
des messages SMS.

L’extraction des informations pertinentes portées par les SMS, devrait
s’appuyer sur les résultats du premier objectif et expérimenter les
méthodes et procédures propres au domaine de la recherche
d’informations. L’écueil scientifique en ce sens a trait à la taille
réduite des SMS, ce qui rend difficile a priori la mise en œuvre de
méthodes purement statistiques.

L’évaluation des systèmes développés doit se faire avec les autres
partenaires du projet sms4science disposant d’un corpus de SMS réels.

Par essence, le problème à traiter demande une approche et une démarche
pluridisciplinaires. La démarche de travail envisagée s’appuie sur une
coopération multidisciplinaire (codirection de la thèse par des
chercheurs en informatique (traitement automatique des langues,
extraction d’informations) et science du langage (structuration et
formalisation de la langue, étude et exploitation de corpus
langagiers). Elle est multi-sites (les équipes de recherche étant
réparties sur Lyon et Grenoble) et intègre la participation active du
Pôle Innovation Viseo de l’entreprise Objet Direct (Grenoble) qui est
intéressé par les applications de l’extraction d’informations contenues
dans les SMS, et qui apporte son expertise en traitement automatique des
langues et génie logiciel.

Sur le plan de la conception du système d’analyse automatique du langage
des SMS, plusieurs applications sont envisageables : systèmes de
réduction/expansion des SMS, de transcription et de phonétisation des
SMS, systèmes de collecte et de diffusion d’informations, etc. Sur le
plan d’extraction d’informations des SMS, diverses utilisations sont
envisageables dans tout échange entre les particuliers et les
entreprises ou les administrations.

Profil du candidat:

Le candidat doit être titulaire d'un Master en informatique - traitement
automatique des langues ou équivalent. Maîtrise de la langue française
et anglaise.

Contexte:

Cette thèse interdisciplinaire sera réalisée sur deux laboratoires :
LIDILEM (Linguistique et Didactique des Langues Etrangères et
Maternelles, EA 609, université Stendhal de Grenoble,
http://w3.u-grenoble3.fr/lidilem/) et ICAR (Interactions, Corpus,
Apprentissages, Représentations, UMR 5191 CNRS, Lyon,
http://icar.univ-lyon2.fr/), avec l’appui du Pôle Innovation Viseo
(Grenoble, http://www.viseo.net/).

Titre : Les manifestations du pouvoir dans le discours

Résumé : Les interventions dans un dialogue sont influencées par
beaucoup de facteurs.  Le pouvoir qu'un participant au discours peut
exercer sur un autre (ou plusieurs autres) est un facteur
extra-linguistique important qui limite la manière dont peuvent
intervenir et répondre les participants au discours.  Je définis quatre
types de pouvoir (le pouvoir hiérarchique, le pouvoir situationnel, le
pouvoir discursif, et l'influence), et je montre comment ces quatre
types de pouvoir sont manifestés dans le dialogue.  Les observations
empiriques sont basées sur le corpus de courriel Enron.

International Workshop

Conflict and communication.

Multimodal Social Signals of conflict and negotiation in humans,
animals, and machines

When in an environment resources are limited, and two or more humans or
other animals need the same resource, its attainment by one is
incompatible with the attainment by the other: thus conflict arises.

Conflict may simply hold between two or more beliefs (cognitive
conflict), or between goals of the same person or animal
(intraindividual conflict), or finally between the goals of two or more
individuals or groups (interpersonal and social conflict).  In all cases
conflict may cause internal turmoil or social aggression, and yet
sometimes may also be a carrier of positive novelty and change.

This workshop focuses on interpersonal and social conflict, and on the
communication that may arise from it, but also give rise to it, or
finally determine conflict escalation or resolution.

Since such a complex topic as conflict needs to be confronted by a high
level of multidisciplinarity, we encourage contributions from various
fields, among which:

Psychology, Ethology, Political Sciences, Neuroscience, Linguistics,
Argumentation, Social Simulation, Robotics, Social Signal processing,
Swarm intelligence….

Some core topics in the workshop, and their leading questions, are the
following:

*Theoretical issues in conflict*

What is conflict, and what is the boundary between competition and
conflict?

Are all cases of aggression determined by conflict, and does conflict
always lead to aggression? What are the mechanisms and triggering rules
of escalation and what are those of negotiation?

Sometimes conflicts are not explicit or evident, but rather deep,
underground, covert. What are the signals of overt and covert conflicts?

What are the routes of conflict? Is conflict primary (only stemming from
context, bare competition over resources) or sometimes secondary to
emotions (for instance might one start to raise conflict with another
only due to personality clash)?

What are the dynamics of conflict?

Some theories propose that social hierarchies and leadership arise right
with the function of minimizing conflicts. Is this (always) true? Are
there types of social organization or leadership more apt than others to
prevent conflict? What could / should be changed in an organization to
lower the number and level of conflicts?

Do the ways people and animals sense and manage conflict and its
escalation and resolution change across ontogenetic and phylogenetic
evolution, and if so, how do they?

Are there neurological bases to the capacity of sensing and managing
social conflict?

*Social signals and multimodality *

How is conflict expressed in communicative interaction between humans?
How do the various types of conflict differ from each other, for
example, discussion, argument, quarrel, contest? Do different rules
apply to them?

One of the main communicative forms triggered by conflict is
argumentation.  Can we distinguish more and less conflictual
argumentations?

What are the signals that reveal the existence of conflict, escalation,
de-escalation, negotiation, smoothing?

What are the signals of conflict between non-human animals? Are there
signals shared by human and non-human animals?

Conflictual communication may be studied in various modalities. In the
acoustic modalities, what are the characterizing features of voice or
noise in conflict? Can conflict be expressed by music? Are some types of
intonation more typically used during conflict? Are there speech acts or
other communicative acts typical of conflict, such as accusation,
criticism, insult? How is conflict expressed in the structure of
turn-taking and floor management? Are there cues of conflict in
intonation and voice quality?

In the visual modalities, what are the gestures, postures, gaze items
and facial expressions typically used in conflict? Can conflict be
expressed by art, graphics and other visual artifacts?

*Ethical issues, deception and non-cooperative communication in
 conflict*

Is there an ethics of conflict? Are there moral rules for negotiation or
reconciliation? Are there cases in which conflict cannot be avoided, or
negotiation should be skipped, due to ethical reasons? Does negotiation
often entail deception?

What are the effects of truthful and deceitful communication on
conflict?  Is deception exploited to avoid conflict or is it a major
cause of conflict? Sometimes sincere communication, by making the
conflict explicit, may contribute to exacerbate it, so people may try to
avoid sincerity or use hypocrisy or vagueness to prevent conflict; but
on the other hand, if one lets conflict emerge, might this contribute,
and in what cases and ways, to clarify positions, look for agreement,
and start negotiation?

What is the relation of conflict with truthful and deceitful
communication in animals? Generally animals tend to use deception more
to prevent conflict than to find a way out of it – see the function of
bluff and other deceitful displays – but is this always and necessary
so?

*Emotions and conflict*

What emotions are generally a cause of conflict, and what are the most
typical effects of it? How are they expressed with or without a
conflictual interaction? How can trust, envy, admiration, pride,
compassion or other emotions prevent, trigger, enhance, smooth conflict?
How can their sincere or simulated expression work in conflict
management? What is the role of empathy and other affective states in
negotiation and reconciliation?

*Simulation, analysis and synthesis of conflict*

Is it possible to build systems for the automatic detection of conflict,
both bottom up – by detecting signals of conflict – and top-down – by
analyzing contexts and inferring their likeliness for conflict
generation?  Is it possible to construct a synthetic “negotiation
counselor”? How can automatic argumentative systems be adapted to
conflict prevention or resolution? How can the simulation of conflict in
robots and neural systems give hints for the prevention and managing of
conflict in humans?

The topics of the Workshop include, but are not limited to:

   - theoretical and computational models of conflict
   - conflict, negotiation, conflict resolution, reconciliation
   - multimodality
   - multimodal corpora
   - social signal processing
   - phonetics, prosody and intonation

Apologies for cross-posting,

Submissions are invited to the 3rd IEEE ICDM Workshop on Sentiment
Elicitation from Natural Text for Information Retrieval and Extraction
(SENTIRE) to be held at ICDM13 on December 8th in Dallas, Texas.

RATIONALE
Memory and data capacities double approximately every two years and,
apparently, the Web is following the same rule. User-generated contents,
in particular, are an ever-growing source of opinion and sentiments
which are continuously spread worldwide through blogs, wikis, fora,
chats and social networks. The distillation of knowledge from such
sources is a key factor for applications in fields such as commerce,
tourism, education and health, but the quantity and the nature of the
contents they generate make it a very difficult task. Due to such
challenging research problems and wide variety of practical
applications, opinion mining and sentiment analysis have become very
active research areas in the last decade. Our understanding and
knowledge of the problem and its solution are still limited as natural
language understanding techniques are still pretty weak. Most of current
research in sentiment analysis, in fact, merely relies on machine
learning algorithms. Such algorithms, despite most of them being very
effective, produce no human understandable results such that we know
little about how and why output values are obtained. All such
approaches, moreover, rely on syntactical structure of text, which is
far from the way human mind processes natural language. Next-generation
opinion mining systems should employ techniques capable to better grasp
the conceptual rules that govern sentiment and the clues that can convey
these concepts from realization to verbalization in the human mind.

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

- Sentiment identification & classification
- Opinion and sentiment summarization & visualization
- Explicit & latent semantic analysis for sentiment mining
- Concept-level opinion and sentiment analysis
- Sentic computing
- Opinion and sentiment search & retrieval
- Time evolving opinion & sentiment analysis
- Semantic multidimensional scaling for sentiment analysis
- Multidomain & cross-domain evaluation
- Domain adaptation for sentiment classification
- Multimodal sentiment analysis
- Multimodal fusion for continuous interpretation of semantics
- Multilingual sentiment analysis & re-use of knowledge bases
- Knowledge base construction & integration with opinion analysis
- Transfer learning of opinion & sentiment with knowledge bases
- Sentiment corpora & annotation
- Affective knowledge acquisition for sentiment analysis
- Biologically inspired opinion mining
- Sentiment topic detection & trend discovery
- Big social data analysis
- Social ranking
- Social network analysis
- Social media marketing
- Comparative opinion analysis
- Opinion spam detection

TIMEFRAME
- August 3rd, 2013: Submission deadline
- September 24th, 2013: Notification of acceptance
- October 15th, 2013: Final manuscripts due
- December 8th, 2013: Workshop date

SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS
Authors are required to follow IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings
Author Guidelines. The paper length is limited to 10 pages, including
references, diagrams, and appendices, if any. Each submitted paper will
be evaluated by three PC members with respect to its novelty,
significance, technical soundness, presentation, and
experiments. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE ICDM
proceedings. Selected, expanded versions of papers presented at the
workshop will be invited to a forthcoming Special Issue of Cognitive
Computation on opinion mining and sentiment analysis.

SPEAKER
Carlo Strapparava is a senior researcher at FBK-irst (Fondazione Bruno
Kessler - Istituto per la ricerca scientifica e Tecnologica) in the
Human Language Technologies Unit. His research activity covers
artificial intelligence, natural language processing, intelligent
interfaces, human-computer interaction, cognitive science,
knowledge-based systems, user models, adaptive hypermedia, lexical
knowledge bases, word-sense disambiguation, affective computing and
computational humour. He is the author of over 150 papers, published in
scientific journals, book chapters and in conference proceedings. He
played a key role in the definition and the development of many projects
funded by European research programmes. He regularly serves in the
program committees of the major NLP conferences (ACL, EMNLP, etc.). He
was executive board member of SIGLEX, a Special Interest Group on the
Lexicon of the Association for Computational Linguistics (2007-2010),
Senseval (Evaluation Exercises for the Semantic Analysis of Text)
organisation committee (2005-2010). On June 2011, he was awarded with a
Google Research Award on Natural Language Processing, specifically on
the computational treatment of creative language.

KEYNOTE
Dealing with creative language and in particular with affective,
persuasive and even humorous language has often been considered outside
the scope of computational linguistics. Nonetheless it is possible to
exploit current NLP techniques starting some explorations about it. We
briefly review some computational experiences about these genres. We
will introduce techniques for dealing with emotional and witty
language. Regarding persuasive language, we will explore the
exploitation of extra-linguistic features (e.g. an audience-reaction
tagged corpus of political speeches), for the analysis of discourse
persuasiveness, We conclude the talk showing some explorations in the
automatic recognition of deceptive language.

Labex EFL: http://www.labex-efl.org 



Description détaillée de l'offre:
 
L'analyse quantitative des systèmes flexionnels a fait l'objet d'un
intérêt renouvelé dans la période récente. Deux facteurs limitent la
portée des travaux existants dans ce domaine émergent : (i) la
focalisation sur un petit ensemble de langues génétiquement proches ;
(ii) le manque de mesures quantitatives qui prennent en compte le
caractère multifactoriel de la complexité des systèmes flexionnels.
 
Le Labex Fondements empiriques de la linguistique (EFL) offre une
occasion unique de s'attaquer à ces difficultés. Regroupant 13 équipes
de recherches de la région parisienne, le Labex EFL comporte à la fois
des spécialistes d'un vaste ensemble de langues typologiquement diverses
et des spécialistes de linguistique théorique, de linguistique
informatique, et de psycholinguistique.
 
Le postdoctorant rejoindra un groupe interdisciplinaire d'une dizaine de
chercheurs du Labex EFL qui travaillent ensemble à la conception, à
l'utilisation et à l'évaluation de mesures quantitatives de divers
aspects de la complexité des systèmes flexionnels. Un objectif de plus
long terme est d'évaluer expérimentalement l'impact de la complexité des
systèmes flexionnels.
 
Les tâches du postdoctorant comprendront :
 
– la sélection ou la conception de ressources linguistiques sur un
  échantillon de langues typologiquement variées, en vue de l'évaluation
  de la complexité de leurs systèmes flexionnels ;
– l'évaluation de l'applicabilité et de la pertinence de mesures
  quantitatives existantes à cet échantillon de langues ;
– une contribution à la conception et à l'implémentation de nouvelles
  mesures quantitatives pour des aspects des systèmes flexionnels qui
  n'ont pas été explorés dans les travaux précédents.
 
Le candidat idéal serait un linguiste ou un linguiste informaticien
pratiquant les théories morphologiques contemporaines, ayant une
connaissance avancée de la typologie linguistique et des méthodes de
terrain, et ayant déjà une expérience de l'application de méthodes
quantitatives à des données linguistiques extensives. Peu de candidats
potentiels correspondent à ce profil idéal, et les candidatures qui n'y
correspondent que partiellement seront donc prises en considération.
 
Il n'y a pas de domaine linguistique prédéfini pour le travail du
postdoctorant. Le groupe de chercheurs qu'il intégrera est compétent, et
possède des ressources, sur les langues germaniques, iraniennes,
romanes, afro-asiatiques, finno-ougriennes, et sud-caucasiques, sur les
langues méso-américaines (avec un accent particulier sur le phylum
oto-mangue), et sur les langues créoles. Un des objectifs du projet est
d'améliorer la compréhension des systèmes flexionnels de ces langues,
mais un candidat qui apporterait une expertise pertinente sur une langue
ou une famille n'appartenant pas à cette liste serait tout à fait
bienvenu.
 
Le postdoctorant aura également la possibilité de participer aux autres
activités du Labex EFL et rejoindra une communauté active ayant un
intérêt commun pour les approches empiriques, quantitatives et
expérimentales en linguistique.

Méthodes mixtes pour l’analyse syntaxique et sémantique du français

http://www.taln2013.org/

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

            Appel à communications pour un numéro spécial de
          la Revue des Nouvelles Technologies de l'Information


                         FOUILLE DE DONNEES et
                          HUMANITES NUMERIQUES

Coordinateur: Nicolas Turenne

Date limite de soumission : 30 septembre 2013

Objectifs : 
===========

Le but de ce numéro spécial est de regrouper des articles de chercheurs
académiques et industriels autour de la thématique de l'extraction de
connaissances en interface avec les humanités numériques. Il s'agit à la
fois de travaux de recherche aboutis donnant une idée des avancées
actuelles mais également de travaux de recherche en cours liés au
traitement informatique des données étudiées par les disciplines SHS
(sciences de l'homme et de la société). Si la rencontre de
l'informatique et des SHS n'est pas nouvelle, le contexte actuel lié au
faible coût du matériel et de la profusion des données lui donne une
autre dimension. Les articles de synthèse sont également les bienvenus.

Soumission et dates importantes : 
=================================

Les articles sont rédigés en Français (exceptionnellement en Anglais
pour les non-francophones) en utilisant le style de la revue RNTI avec
une préférence forte pour LaTeX (formats de rédaction .doc et .rtf
acceptés). Ils sont soumis au format PDF. Les textes devront contenir
entre 3000 et 8000 mots.

Les dates importantes sont les suivantes : 

Réception des articles : 30 septembre 2013  
Notification aux auteurs : 14 novembre 2013  
Versions finales : 4 décembre 2013  
Parution : janvier 2014  

Nous vous invitons à soumettre votre article via le lien :

d'erreur envoyer un email à nturenne.inra at yahoo.fr)


Thématique :
============
Nous sommes spectateurs et acteurs d'un tournant sociétal qui est admis
aujourd'hui, c'est le “tournant du numérique” transformant
l'environnement politique, économique et culturel
contemporain. L'implication de cette contribution du numérique à nos
sociétés tend à fabriquer des espaces de données de plus en plus
importants nécessitant à cet endroit des traitements spécifiques. Les
disciplines SHS qui placent l'homme au coeur des questionnements ont
jusque là peu profité des méthodes traitant des ensembles de données
numériques et du potentiel de transformation de ce tournant. Quelles
nouvelles questions peuvent se poser sur de nouvelles données, selon
quels modes d'archivage, avec quels algorithmes de recherche
d'information utile « dans une botte de documents » ? Pour ne citer que
deux exemples, les humanités numériques s'invitent déjà en sociologie,
qui aborde la démocratie d'opinion dans les réseaux sociaux, et en
histoire où la lecture numérique change l'accès à la matérialité du
passé.

Dans ce numéro spécial de RNTI “Extraction de Connaissances et Humanités
Numériques”, nous cherchons des travaux qui décrivent des défis et des
débats sur des questions émergeantes du monde numérique naissant, aussi
bien que des travaux qui montrent avec ses méthodes et ses conclusions
les types de méthodologie qui peuvent être le mieux mobilisés, ou
doivent exclusivement être mobilisés, dans son sillage. Les
contributions ne doivent pas se limiter à la démonstration des avantages
et limites d'accès à certaines bases de données mais évoquer comment de
nouvelles formes d'informations produisent de nouvelles façons de penser
aussi bien du point de vue de l'extraction des connaissances que des
disciplines de SHS.

Nous invitons les contributeurs à considérer le large spectre des
méthodes et des usages dans des projets émergeants et existants,
incluant l'extraction des connaissances, l'archivage distribué,
l'interopérabilité, la visualisation des connaissances, la linguistique
de corpus, les systèmes d'information géographiques...

Les données seront issues du monde des sciences de l'homme et de la
société (SHS) : culturelles, littéraires, philosophiques, économiques,
psychologiques, sociologiques, d'opinions, ethnologiques,
démographiques, géographiques, historiques, musicologiques,
archéologiques, architecturales, juridiques, théologiques,
pédagogiques...

--FCA4AI-- 
``What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?'' 
(Second Edition) 
co-located with IJCAI 2013 

August 3-5, 2013 

Beijing, China 

http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru 

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

General 

The first edition of the FCA4AI Workshop at ECAI 2012 in Montpellier
showed that many researchers working in Artificial Intelligence are
indeed interested by a powerful method for classification and mining
such as Formal Concept Analysis (http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-939/). We have
the chance to organize a new edition of the workshop in Beijing at the
IJCAI 2013 Conference.

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory
aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a
concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications) which can be
used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge processing involving learning,
knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology
engineering, and as well as information retrieval and text processing.
Thus, there exist many ``natural links'' between FCA and AI.

Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around
FCA, in particular a strand of work emerged that is aimed at extending
the possibilities of FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing, such as work on
pattern structures and relational context analysis. These extensions are
aimed at allowing FCA to deal with more complex than just binary data,
both from the data analysis and knowledge discovery point of view and
from the knowledge representation point of view, including, e.g.,
ontology engineering.
All these works extend the capabilities of FCA and offer new
possibilities for AI activities in the framework of FCA.

Accordingly, in this workshop, we will be interested in two main issues: 

- How can FCA support AI activities such as knowledge processing
  (knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning),
  learning (clustering, pattern and data mining), natural language
  processing, information retrieval.

- How can FCA be extended in order to help AI researchers to solve new
  and complex problems in their domain.

The workshop is dedicated to discuss such issues. 

INVITED SPEAKER 
TBA 

TOPICS OF INTEREST include but are not limited to: 

- Concept lattices and related structures: description logics, pattern
  structures, relational structures.

- Knowledge discovery and data mining with FCA: association rules,
  itemsets and data dependencies, attribute implications, data
  pre-processing, redundancy and dimensionality reduction,
  classification and clustering.

- Knowledge engineering and ontology engineering: knowledge
  representation and reasoning.

- Scalable algorithms for concept lattices and artificial intelligence
  ``in the large'' (distributed aspects, big data).

- Applications of concept lattices: semantic web, information retrieval,
  visualization and navigation, pattern recognition.

The workshop will include time for audience discussion for having a
better understanding of the issues, challenges, and ideas being
presented.

IMPORTANT DATES: 

Submission deadline: May 13, 2013 (**** extended until June 3rd ****) 
Notification to authors: June 24, 2013 
Final version: July 08, 2013 
Workshop: August 03-05, 2013

Colleagues,

We invite you to join us in Grenoble for the 4th annual workshop on
Speech and Language Processing for Assistive Technologies. This 2-day
workshop will combine research in speech and language technology that
assists people with physical, cognitive, sensory, emotional, or
developmental disabilities. This year we are introducing a special topic
-- Smart Homes and ambient intelligent technology applied to
augmentative communication. The program committee is now online at
http://www.slpat.org/slpat2013/people.html.

It is our pleasure to announce that Professor Mark Hawley will be
delivering an Invited Lecture on the first day of the workshop. Mark
Hawley is Professor of Health Services Research at the University of
Sheffield, UK, where he leads the Rehabilitation and Assistive
Technology Research Group. He is also Honorary Consultant Clinical
Scientist at Barnsley Hospital, where he is Head of Medical Physics and
Clinical Engineering. Over the last 20 years, he has worked as a
clinician and researcher -- providing, researching, developing and
evaluating assistive technology, telehealth and telecare products, and
services for disabled people, older people, and people with long-term
conditions.

This year's workshop will include a tour of a smart home at the
Laboratoire d'Informatique de Grenoble. This smart home is an
environment for researchers working on smart spaces and ambient
intelligence. DOMUS is a 40 sq. metre apartment composed of typical
rooms (e.g., office, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen with dining area)
and furnishings. The entire apartment is fitted with sensors and
actuators and is controlled by a home automation system.

General topics of SLPAT 2013 include but are not limited to:

- Automated processing of sign language

- Speech synthesis and speech recognition for physical or cognitive
  impairments

- Speech transformation for improved intelligibility

- Speech and Language Technologies for Assisted Living

- Translation systems; to and from speech, text, symbols and sign
  language

- Novel modeling and machine learning approaches for AAC/AT applications

  presentation modes such as speech, signs or symbols

- Deployment of speech and NLP tools in the clinic or in the field

- Linguistic resources; corpora and annotation schemes

- Evaluation of systems and components, including methodology

- Anything included in this year's special topic

- Other topics in Augmentative and Alternative Communication

The special topic this year is smart homes and intelligent companions.
Subtopics include:

- Automatic Speech recognition in distant or multi-source environments

- Understanding, modelling or recognition of aged speech

- Speech analysis in the case of elderly with impairments, early
  recognition of speech capability loss

- Multimodal speech recognition (context-aware ASR)

- Multimodal emotion recognition

- Applications of speech technology (ASR, dialogue, synthesis) for
  ambient assisted living

This year, SLPAT will be co-located with the 1st Workshop on Affective
Social Speech Signals (WASSS, http://wasss-2013.imag.fr/), which takes
place on 22 and 23 August 2013). Participation in and submission to both
workshops will be facilitated by reduced registration fees for
double-registration (rather than registering for both individually),

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

2nd Call for Papers

The First Workshop on the Exploration, Navigation and Retrieval of
Information in Cultural Heritage - ENRICH 2013

http://www.cultura-strep.eu/events/enrich-2013/

To be held in conjunction with the 36th Annual ACM SIGIR Conference

Workshop date: August 1st, 2013

Location: Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.

Submission deadline: 9th June 2013

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

ENRICH 2013 has three main goals:

- to discuss the challenges and opportunities in Information Retrieval
  research in the area of Cultural Heritage

- to encourage collaboration between researchers engaged in work in this
  specialist area of Information Retrieval, and to foster the formation
  of a research community

- to identify a set of actions which the community should undertake to
  progress research in this area

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

A key challenge facing the curators and providers of digital cultural
heritage worldwide is to instigate, increase and enhance engagement with
their collections. To achieve this, a fundamental change in the way
these artefacts can be discovered, explored and contributed to by users
and communities is required. Cultural heritage artefacts are digital
representations of primary resources: manuscript collections, paintings,
books, photographs etc. The text-based resources are often innately
“noisy”, contain non-standard spelling, poor punctuation and obsolete
grammar and word forms. The image-based resources often have limited
associated metadata which describes the resources and their content. In
addition, the information needs and tasks of cultural heritage users are
often complex and diverse. This presents a specific set of challenges to
traditional Information Retrieval (IR) techniques and approaches.

This workshop will investigate the enhanced retrieval of, and
interaction with, cultural heritage collections. We are interested in
investigating innovative forms of personalised, multi-lingual IR, which
can include:

- IR approaches tailored to cope with the inconsistencies which are
  common in cultural heritage collections.

- Content-aware retrieval approaches which respond to the entities and
  relationships contained within artefacts and across collections.

- Personalised IR and presentation.

- Community-aware IR approaches which respond to community activity,
  interest, contribution and experience.

Such new forms of enhanced IR require rigorous evaluation and validation
using appropriate metrics, contrasting digital cultural heritage
collections and diverse users and communities. This workshop welcomes
submissions which investigate such evaluation, taking into account the
specific requirements of the domain. The nature of cultural heritage
resources means that content analysis in support of IR is of specific
interest. This includes the automated normalisation of historical texts,
the use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for entity extraction and
metadata generation.

The ENRICH workshop aims to promote the exchange of ideas between
researchers working on the theory and foundations of IR, cross and
multi-lingual IR, personalised IR and recommender systems.

There are numerous research areas that can support such improved
retrieval and exploration in the area of cultural heritage. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

- Multilingual semantic search

- Context-aware and semantic recommender systems

- Adaptation engines and algorithms for personalised multilingual IR

- User modeling and adaptation (e.g. creation and exploitation of
  individual or stereotypical user profiles)

- Content personalisation and personalised result presentation
  (e.g. beyond the ranked list)

- Domain modeling

- External knowledge resources for IR (e.g. ontologies)

- Evaluation methodologies and metrics for personalised multilingual IR

- Information Extraction, Data Mining and Natural Language Processing

- Social Network Analysis

*Submissions*

We invite researchers to submit two categories of paper:

Long paper submissions should report on substantial contributions of
lasting value. Each accepted long paper will be presented in a plenary
session of the workshop program. The maximum length is 8 pages.

Short paper submissions should discuss exciting new work that is not yet
mature enough for a long paper. The presentation may include the
demonstration of a system. The maximum length is 4 pages.

Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the workshop.

All submissions should be prepared according to the ACM SIG Proceedings
Templates, as for all SIGIR submissions.

For your convenience, you can use the templates for Microsoft Word or
LaTeX that have been made available on the ACM website:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates/

The ENRICH Workshop does not use blind reviews, so please include
authors’ names and affiliations on your submission. All submissions will
receive several independent reviews.
Submissions must be in PDF format and must be in English.
All papers must be submitted electronically before the 9th of June 2013
through the EasyChair submission page
- https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=enrich2013

ENRICH 2013 will be hosted in the Long Room Hub, the Digital Arts and
Humanities Research Institute of Trinity College Dublin
- http://www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub/. The Long Room Hub is a
signature building at the heart of the historic TCD campus. The
institute takes its name from the Library's iconic ‘Long Room'. The Long
Room Hub is the home of a number of major, EU funded, Digital Humanities
research projects, which use the most advanced digital technologies for
the democratization of knowledge and also explore new research
questions, approaches and methodologies enabled by technological change.

Bonjour à tous,
Monsieur Christian Fullgrabe du MRC - Institute of Hearing Research,
Nottingham, UK), viendra nous présenter ses travaux sur :

"Speech perception across the adult lifespan with clinically normal hearing"

Date : Jeudi 6 juin 2013 à 13h30
Lieu : GIPSA-lab, Département Parole & Cognition, salle B314 du site Ampère
Plan d'accès : http://www.gipsa-lab.grenoble-inp.fr/plan-d-acces.php

Résumé :
Subjective reports suggest that older persons experience increased
listening difficulties in noisy environments, and experimental
investigations seem to confirm this age-dependent deficit. However,
these listeners are generally unaware of their peripheral hearing status
(i.e., whether or not they have a hearing loss) and most published
studies used lax audiometric inclusion criteria. Hence, lower speech
intelligibility could be explained by a reduction in audibility with
age. Also, most studies limited their age comparison to groups of
"young" (e.g. ≤ 30 years) and "older" listeners (e.g. ≥ 60 years),
making it impossible to pinpoint the onset of the putative age effect.

This talk will present two cross-sectional investigations of central age
effects on speech perception, using participants with clinically normal
hearing over a fairly wide frequency range (≤ 20 dB HL for 0.125-4 kHz).
Performance on supra-threshold temporal-processing and a battery of
cognitive tasks (including tests of processing speed and working memory)
was assessed, and compared with speech identification in quiet and in
different (steady and fluctuating) background noises. To determine when
during adulthood a decline with age in these abilities first becomes
apparent, participants were sampled continuously from the entire adult
age range (18-91 years).

Despite a large individual variability, the results show an
age-dependent decline in speech identification, mainly above 60
years. Sensitivity to temporal information and cognitive performance
deteriorated as early as young middle age, and correlated with
speech-in-noise perception.

In conclusion, even when peripheral hearing sensitivity is clinically
normal, the identification of speech in noise declines with age, and
this deficit co-occurs with changes in retro-cochlear auditory
processing and cognitive functions.

UCREL Summer School in Corpus Linguistics
http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool/corpusling.php
Lancaster University, UK
16th to 19th July 2013

The UCREL Summer School 2013 is the third event in a highly successful
series that began in 2011. Sponsored by UCREL at Lancaster University -
one of the world's leading and longest-established centres for
corpus-based research - its aim is to support students of language and
linguistics in the development of advanced skills in corpus methods.

The UCREL Summer School is intended primarily for postgraduate research
students (and secondarily for Masters-level students and postdoctoral
researchers) who require in-depth knowledge of corpus-based
methodologies for their degree projects. It is not aimed at raw
beginners, but rather at PhD students who have at least some
introductory experience of analysis using language corpora, and who wish
to expand their knowledge of key issues and techniques in cutting-edge
corpus research.

The programme consists of a series of intensive two-hour sessions, some
involving practical work, others more discussion-oriented. Topics
include: Advanced corpus queries and the use of regular expressions, and
Spelling variation: historical, child and online data; Using XML in
corpus encoding and analysis and The statistics of collocation; Studying
language change in diachronic corpora; Corpus-based approaches to
metaphor in discourse; Pragmatics, politeness and impoliteness in the
corpus; Using comparable and parallel corpora in contrastive and
translation studies; Understanding statistics for corpus analysis.

The UCREL summer school is part of three 'Lancaster Summer Schools in
Interdisciplinary Digital Methods', see the website for further
information. There are additional daily plenary lectures shared with the
other two Summer School events, each illustrating cutting-edge digital
research methods using corpus data:

Tony McEnery - Representations of Islam in the UK press
Ian Gregory - Using corpus data in Geographical Information Systems
Stephen Pumfrey - The semantics of liberty in Early Modern English

The UCREL Summer School ran for the first time in 2011, and was repeated
(with the same programme) in 2012. We have extended the length of the
event, so that it is now taught over four days rather than three. We
have also revised the syllabus content for 2013; for this reason, repeat
participation by those who have already attended the summer school in
2011 or 2012 is welcome.

How to apply

The UCREL Summer School is free to attend, but registration in advance
is compulsory, as places are limited. For more details, see the website:

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.

RATIONALE

The textual information available on the Web can be broadly grouped into
two main categories: facts and opinions. Facts are objective expressions
about entities or events. Opinions are usually subjective expressions
that describe people's sentiments, appraisals, or feelings towards such
entities and events. Much of the existing research on textual
information processing has been focused on mining and retrieval of
factual information, e.g., text classification, text recognition, text
clustering, and many other text mining and natural language processing
(NLP) tasks. Little work had been done on the processing of opinions
until only recently.

One of the main reasons for the lack of studies on opinions is the fact
that there was little opinionated text available before the recent
passage from a read-only to a read-write Web. Before that, in fact, when
people needed to make a decision, they typically asked for opinions from
friends and family. Similarly, when organizations wanted to find the
opinions or sentiments of the general public about their products and
services, they had to specifically ask people by conducting opinion
polls and surveys.

However, with the advent of the Social Web, the way people express their
views and opinions has dramatically changed. They can now post reviews
of products at merchant sites and express their views on almost anything
in Internet forums, discussion groups, and blogs. Such online
word-of-mouth behavior represents new and measurable sources of
information with many practical applications. Nonetheless, finding
opinion sources and monitoring them can be a formidable task because
there are a large number of diverse sources and each source may also
have a huge volume of opinionated text.

In many cases, in fact, opinions are hidden in long forum posts and
blogs. It is extremely time-consuming for a human reader to find
relevant sources, extract related sentences with opinions, read them,
summarize them, and organize them into usable forms. Thus, automated
opinion discovery and summarization systems are needed. Sentiment
analysis grows out of this need: it is a very challenging NLP or text
mining problem. Due to its tremendous value for practical applications,
there has been an explosive growth of both research in academia and
applications in the industry.

All the sentiment analysis tasks, however, are very challenging. Our
understanding and knowledge of the problem and its solution are still
limited. The main reason is that it is a NLP task, and NLP has no easy
problems. Another reason may be due to our popular ways of doing
research. So far, in fact, researchers have relied a lot on traditional
machine learning algorithms. Some of the most effective machine learning
algorithms, however, produce no human understandable results. Apart from
some superficial knowledge gained in the manual feature engineering
process, in fact, such algorithms may achieve improved accuracy, but
little about how and why is actually known. All such approaches,
moreover, rely on syntactic structure of text, which is far from the way
human mind processes natural language.

[Version française] (English version below)

Le CEA LIST propose une allocation doctorale de recherche pour la
rentrée universitaire 2013.

Sujet de thèse : Projection interlingue d’annotations linguistiques à
partir de corpus parallèles et comparables

Lieu de la thèse : CEA Saclay Nano-INNOV, Laboratoire Vision et
Ingénierie des Contenus (LVIC), 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette

Encadrant : Nasredine Semmar, CEA LIST, Laboratoire Vision et Ingénierie
des Contenus (LVIC)

Directeur de thèse: Laurent Besacier, Université de Grenoble,
Laboratoire d’Informatique de Grenoble (LIG)

Le Laboratoire Vision et Ingénierie des Contenus (LVIC) du CEA LIST est
spécialisé en extraction et en recherche d’information multimédia et
multilingue.

Contexte et objectifs généraux de la thèse :
-----------------------------------------------------

L’annotation linguistique de ressources consiste à ajouter des
informations de nature interprétative aux données brutes originales
[Leech, 1997]. Ces informations peuvent être d’ordre terminologique,
lexical, morphologique, syntaxique ou sémantique et les ressources
linguistiques peuvent être des lexiques, dictionnaires, transcriptions
de dialogues ou corpus de textes [Véronis, 2000].

Les applications utilisant les ressources linguistiques annotées sont
nombreuses et diverses : recherche d’information interlingue, fouille de
textes, extraction d’informations, aide à la traduction, traduction
automatique, etc. C’est la raison pour laquelle, depuis quelques années,
la construction automatique de telles ressources est devenue un champ de
recherche important en Traitement Automatique de la Langue (TAL) [Hamon
et al., 2007] [Viprey et Léthier, 2008] [Mazziotta, 2010] [Bestgen,
2013]. La plupart des approches développées pour la construction de
ressources linguistiques annotées ont un objectif commun : minimiser le
coût de la production de telles ressources en supprimant l’intervention
humaine ou en la limitant à la seule tâche de validation et
d’évaluation. Le point commun de ces approches est de trouver et
d’explorer des mécanismes non (ou très peu) coûteux pour exploiter des
ressources linguistiques annotées déjà disponibles pour certaines
langues et des corpus parallèles pour produire de nouvelles ressources
annotées pour des langues faiblement dotées. C’est le cas des approches
qui s'appuient sur la projection interlingue d’annotations. Ces
approches partent d'un corpus parallèle dont les textes en langue source
sont déjà annotés, et proposent des annotations pour des textes en
langue cible à l’aide de techniques d’alignement. Ces approches
permettent de produire des ressources linguistiques adéquates à moindre
coût pour des langues peu dotées mais elles ouvrent également la voie à
des recherches sur l’extension multilingue d’outils de TAL
monolingues. Nous pourrons citer les travaux de Yarowsky et al (2001)
qui ont utilisé un corpus parallèle pour adapter des outils monolingues
(POS Taggers, chunkers et analyseurs morphologiques) à de nouvelles
langues. La projection entre langues a été réalisée en utilisant des
techniques d’alignement de mots entre les phrases du corpus
parallèle. Cette approche a été adaptée par Hwa et al. (2002) aux nivaux
grammatical et syntaxique pour faire une projection des informations
concernant les dépendances syntaxiques de l’anglais vers le
chinois. Feldman et al (2006) ont expérimenté la projection interlingue
à partir de corpus comparables pour transférer des étiquettes
morpho-syntaxiques entre le russe, le polonais et le
tchèque. L’annotation en allemand de rôles sémantiques par projection
interlingue à partir de la paire de langues anglais-allemand a été déjà
abordée par Pado et Lapata (2005) (2009). Pado et Pitel (2007) ont
évalué la généricité de cette approche du point de vue des langues en
l’appliquant à la paire anglais-français. Les résultats sont proches de
ceux obtenus pour l’allemand. Kim et al (2011) ont utilisé des
informations fournies par un aligneur de mots pour transférer les
entités nommées et leurs relations de l’anglais vers le coréen en vue de
la construction d’un corpus d’apprentissage pour un système d’extraction
d’information à partir du Web. Abdul Hay (2012) a utilisé les relations
sémantiques extraites par transitivité traductionnelle à partir de
corpus multilingue aligné pour la constitution d’une ressource
sémantique en arabe. Plus récemment, Jabaian (2012) s’est intéressé à la
portabilité multilingue d’un système de compréhension de la parole en
proposant d’utiliser la traduction automatique afin de minimiser le coût
du développement d’un nouveau système de compréhension dans une nouvelle
langue (Jabaian et al., 2013).

Les approches de projection interlingue par alignement de mots affichent
des résultats satisfaisants en annotations lexicales et
morpho-syntaxiques pour les couples de langues voisines, mais il reste
plusieurs défis à relever pour les annotations syntaxiques et
sémantiques des langues à morphologie riche ou celles possédant des
syntagmes longs.

Cette thèse se situe dans le contexte de l’automatisation du processus
de construction de ressources linguistiques multilingues annotées par
projection interlingue. L’objectif est d’identifier des équivalences
terminologiques, morpho-syntaxiques, syntaxiques ou sémantiques à partir
de corpus de textes parallèles ou comparables. Deux processus
constituent un prérequis pour la projection interlingue d’annotations à
partir de corpus : un alignement au niveau des paragraphes, des phrases
ou d’unités lexicales de taille variable, et une analyse linguistique
pour l’annotation des textes en langue source.

Déroulement de la thèse :
-------------------------------

Le sujet de thèse proposé a pour but d’explorer et d’expérimenter de
nouvelles approches de projection interlingue d’annotations et se
propose d’aborder cette problématique selon les trois axes suivants,
dans le prolongement des travaux déjà réalisés au laboratoire LVIC :

- Utilisation d’approches statistiques et de recherche d’information
  interlingue pour la constitution de corpus de textes parallèles à
  partir de corpus comparables. Il s’agit de mesurer une certaine
  similarité entre les textes du corpus comparable afin d’identifier les
  textes contenant les mêmes phrases.

- Constitution de lexiques multilingues en développant de nouvelles
  approches d’alignement de mots simples, mots composés et expressions à
  partir de corpus textes comparables.

- Développement d’un modèle de projection interlingue d’annotations
  terminologiques, morpho-syntaxiques, syntaxiques et sémantiques
  indépendant de la langue.

Le laboratoire LVIC du CEA LIST dispose d’une plate-forme modulaire de
traitement des langues, LIMA (Besançon et al., 2010), permettant de
réaliser une analyse linguistique jusqu’au niveau syntaxique et
intégrant certaines analyses sémantiques et discursives. Le doctorant
réalisera son travail en s’appuyant sur cette plate-forme et bénéficiera
des travaux déjà réalisés au niveau du laboratoire en alignement de mots
simples, mots composés et d’expressions multi-mots à partir de corpus de
textes parallèles (Semmar et Laib, 2010) et comparables (Bouamor et al.,
2013).

Funded PhD position, CEA LIST, Laboratoire Vision et Ingénierie des
Contenus (LVIC), France

The Vision and Content Engineering Laboratory (LVIC) of the CEA LIST,
France, is looking for a PhD student to work in the area of building
annotated multilingual linguistic resources. The LVIC is specialized in
multilingual and multimedia information extraction and retrieval.

Thesis title: Cross-language projection of linguistic annotations using
parallel and comparable corpora

Thesis subject:
------------------

Annotating corpora with linguistic information (part-of-speech tagging,
sense tagging, syntactic analysis, named entity identification, semantic
role annotation) involves significant human efforts. The availability of
parallel corpora and some resource-rich languages (such as English which
has large amounts of annotated corpora and several analysis tools
available) has recently led to several research works in order to
project linguistic annotations from the resource-rich source language to
a target language with less resources. The goal of cross-language
projection is, on the one hand, to provide all languages with linguistic
annotations, and on the other hand, to automatically induce text
analysis tools for these languages.

Scientific challenges of cross-language projection of linguistic
annotations from parallel corpora are related to the results of word
alignment tools and the syntactic divergences of the source and target
languages. Indeed, each word of the source language can map to single,
multiple, or zero words in the target language, and part-of-speech
tagsets for source and target language may be different. Many efforts
have been developed to project linguistic annotations from resource-rich
languages to other languages but most of them have only explored
approaches applying one-to-one mapping.

This thesis falls within the scope of automating the process of building
annotated multilingual linguistic resources. The main purpose in this
process is to identify lexical, syntactical and semantic equivalences
across parallel or comparable corpora.

The proposed subject aims to explore and experiment new approaches for
language-independent projection for linguistic resources construction
and annotation. It proposes to tackle this issue based on the following
areas:

- Constitution of aligned sentences and sub-sentences from comparable
  corpora using statistical and cross-language information retrieval
  approaches.

- Building bilingual lexicons of single words and multiword expressions
  using word alignment.

- Exploring rule-based, heuristic-based and hybrid approaches for
  mapping linguistic annotations using parallel corpora.

Candidate profile: The successful candidate must be at greatest 26 years
old by December 2013, will have a Master's degree (or equivalent
qualification) in Computer Science with a good background in
Computational Linguistics.

Please send a CV, a cover letter, letters of recommendation and report
card to: Nasredine Semmar (nasredine.semmar at cea.fr) and Laurent Besacier

type de relation entre des mots ; ils sont construits à partir de
diverses ressources (corpus, dictionnaires, logs de requêtes, etc.). Le
but de cette journée d'étude est de présenter leurs caractéristiques, et
leur usage en Traitement Automatique des Langues. Les différents
exposés, en s'appuyant sur des applications concrètes, aborderont des
questions liées à la construction, la comparaison, l'évaluation,
l'utilisation et les limites de ces ressources.

10H-->10H20
TITRE : Structure des réseaux lexicaux

INTERVENANT : Bruno Gaume (CLLE)
RESUME : Les grands réseaux de terrain sont les réseaux que l'on trouve
en pratique, ils sont construits à partir de données issues de
différents domaines d'étude : La sociologie comme le réseau d'amis de
Facebook, la linguistique comme les réseaux de synonymie, la webologie
comme le réseau des pages web. Plusieurs études montrent un fait
remarquable qui est que tous ces réseaux, pourtant d'origines si
diverses, possèdent des propriétés identiques bien particulières et font
partie de la classe des Réseaux Petits Mondes Hiérarchiques (RPMH). Un
autre fait tout aussi remarquable est que cette classe des RPMH est très
petite au regard de l'ensemble des réseaux possibles : la probabilité de
tirer au hasard parmi l'ensemble des réseaux possibles un RPMH est très
proche de zéro. C'est-à-dire que les réseaux auxquels nous avons à faire
dans la vraie vie se ressemblent tous par leurs structures communes,
bien qu'intrinsèquement cette structure soit très rare du point de vue
de la théorie de la mesure.
Dans cet exposé je commencerai par présenter les quatre propriétés
fondamentales omniprésentes dans les réseaux lexicaux.
Je présenterais ensuite la dynamique des trajets d'un marcheur qui se
déplace aléatoirement sur les sommets d'un réseau lexical à travers les
relations lexicales. Nous verrons que l'étude de ces dynamiques permet
de définir des outils de métrologie lexicale.

10H20-->10H40
TITRE : SLAM: système robuste pour l'interprétation lexicale automatique
de métaphores
INTERVENANT : Yann Desalle (CLLE)

RESUME : SLAM (Solution Lexicale Automatique pour Métaphores) est un
système robuste pour l’interprétation automatique de métaphores par
substitution lexicale (par exemple, SLAM(“déshabiller* une pomme”) =
“peler une pomme” ). Ce système réalise une substitution lexicale du
foyer métaphorique des métaphores substitutives non conventionnelles
grâce à un indice de tension sémantique globale entre les
candidats-substituts et la métaphore à interpréter. Cette tension
globale est la combinaison de deux tensions primitives: (a) une tension
sémantique paradigmatique entre les candidats-substituts et le foyer
métaphorique (“déshabiller”) et (b) une tension sémantique syntagmatique
entre les candidats-substituts et le contexte métaphorique (le
complément d’objet direct “une pomme”).
L’idée sous-jacente à cette résolution est que: (a) plus la tension 
paradigmatique est faible plus le candidat-substitut conserve le sens du 
foyer métaphorique et (b) plus la tension syntagmatique est faible plus 
la paraphrase obtenue après substitution est conventionnelle. La tension 
paradigmatique repose sur une mesure de proximité sémantique calculée 
sur un graphe de synonymie, et la tension syntagmatique repose sur une 
mesure de congruence sémantique de triplets syntaxiques calculée sur un 
corpus.
Bien qu’en général les graphes de synonymie présentent un faible taux
d’accord au niveau des liens, l’évaluation de SLAM montre que le système
est robuste, c’est-à-dire que la plupart des dictionnaires de synonymie
peuvent être utilisés pour calculer l’indice de tension paradigmatique.
Une démonstration de l'application suivra la présentation.

10H40-->11H
TITRE : De l'exploration automatique des réseaux de synonymie à l'étude
de la dynamique d'acquisition lexicale des verbes en français et en
mandarin.
INTERVENANT : Yann Desalle (CLLE)
RESUME :
Une exploration automatique des réseaux lexicaux adaptée à leur
structure de "réseau petit monde hiérarchique" ouvre de nouvelles voies
pour l'analyse lexico-sémantique des productions verbales. Ainsi, nous
verrons dans cet exposé comment les réseaux de synonymie permettent de
modéliser une partie de la dynamique d'acquisition lexicale des verbes.
Tout d'abord, l'analyse par exploration automatique des réseaux de
synonymie de verbes produits par des jeunes enfants (2-5 ans) et des
adultes natifs du français et du mandarin en dénomination d'actions de
séparation/détérioration d'objet a mis au jour deux modes de
manifestation de la flexibilité sémantique chez les jeunes enfants: (a)
manifestation par production de verbes plus génériques et/ou
polysémiques que ceux produits par les adultes; (b) manifestation par
production de verbes plus "approximatifs" que ceux produits par les
adultes.
Ensuite, la comparaison des verbes produits en français et en mandarin a
mis en évidence une différence linguistique dans la répartition de ces
modes de manifestation de la flexibilité sémantique: alors qu'en
français ils privilégient la production de verbes
génériques/polysémiques, en mandarin ils privilégient la production de
verbes approximatifs.
Enfin, un indice du degré d'acquisition du lexique des verbes (indice
REFLEX) a été construit sur la base des résultats exposés ci-dessus. Cet
indice prend en compte les deux modes de réalisation de la flexibilité
sémantique et permet la catégorisation différentielle des jeunes enfants
vs adultes en français et en mandarin.

11H20-->11H40
TITRE : Tmuse : un outil d'exploration lexicale
INTERVENANT : Benoit Gaillard (CLLE)
RESUME : Tmuse est un outil d'exploration lexicale qui propose une
visualisation du paysage sémantique de mots recherchés par
l'utilisateur. Sur la base de réseaux de synonymes, l'application
sélectionne, par Proxémie, les mots les plus sémantiquement proches de
la requête. Ces mots et leurs liens de synonymie sont représentés sous
la forme d'un graphe interactif en 3 dimensions. Les positions relatives
des sommets de ce graphe respectent au mieux leur proximité sémantique,
et les communautés de mots, détectées par des méthodes de clustering de
graphe, sont mises en valeurs par des colorations distinctes. Dans le
cas bilingue, l'application propose des traductions par Proxémie de
chacune de ces communautés. L'exposé détaillera les principes sur
lesquels l'application s'appuie, et en illustrera les différentes
fonctionnalités.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
11H40-->12H
TITRE : Kodex, un système de recherche d'information
INTERVENANT : Emmanuel Navarro (IRIT)
RESUME : Nous allons présenter ici Kodex, un système de recherche
d'information modulable qui classifie automatiquement les résultats
d'une recherche de documents. Kodex présente les documents retournés
pour une recherche, organisés en plusieurs groupes. Cette présentation
rend visible la polysémie de la requête par rapport à la collection de
documents, et aide l'utilisateur à affiner sa recherche. Pour cela Kodex
utilise une méthode de clustering de graphes bipartis reliant documents
et termes. Nous présenterons les grandes lignes du fonctionnement de
Kodex, ainsi que l'architecture logicielle modulable utilisée. Une
démonstration de l'application sera faite.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
12H-->14H
PAUSE

------------------------------------------------------------------------
14H-->14H30
TITRE : Utilisation d'un graphe de traduction pour la complétion 
d'ontologies légères multilingues
INTERVENANT : Valérie Hanoka (ALPAGE)
RÉSUMÉ :
Nous allons présenter ici un outil de complétion d'ontologies légères
multilingue basé sur un gros graphe de traduction et de synonymie.
Ce graphe contient 9.10^5 nœuds représentant un couple (langue, mot) et
7.10^6 arcs de traduction ou synonymie. Au total, 548 langues sont
représentées, dont 20 langues disposant de plus de 10000 nœuds.
Parallèlement, nous disposons d'une ontologie légère multilingue de
couverture variable selon la langue. Nous présenterons plusieurs
algorithmes de complétion à même de proposer des candidats pour
l'extension d'ontologies dans chacune des langues: un premier algorithme
heuristique ayant fait l'objet d'une publication (Hanoka et Sagot, 2012)
et une adaptation du clustering local stochastique (Schaeffer, 2005)
permettant d'émettre des candidats y compris pour les langues rares.
Enfin, nous évoquerons le contexte d'utilisation du graphe de traduction
et de synonymie dans le cadre de la structuration de terminologies
multilingues extraites de corpus comparables dans plusieurs langues.

14H30-->16H
TITRE : Quelles ressources sémantiques pour traiter la parole spontanée ?
INTERVENANT : Laurent Prevot (LPL)

RESUME : Le traitement automatique de l'oral spontané pose des questions
différentes de celui de l'écrit. A l'écrit, le recours aux ressources
sémantiques, comme les réseaux lexicaux, est maintenant bien établi
notamment grâce à l'existence de lexiques de qualité et de corpus de
grande taille. En passant à l'oral, la taille des corpus et l'adéquation
des lexiques et autres outils deviennent des problèmes cruciaux.
Concernant les corpus, tandis que la faible performance en
reconnaissance automatique sur de la parole spontanée n'autorise pas un
traitement classique des sorties de tels systèmes, le coût de
transcription manuelle resulte en des corpus d'une autre échelle que
ceux de l'écrit. Par ailleurs, les spécificités de l'oral spontané
requièrent dans le meilleur des cas une adaptation des ressources
traditionnelles.
Dans cet exposé, je montrerai à quels problèmes se heurtent des méthodes
utilisant les réseaux lexicaux utilisés sur des corpus d'oral spontané.
Dans ce contexte, j'aborderai plus spécifiquement les sujets suivants:
l'utilisation de ressources sémantiques pour le traitement des
disfluences et la segmentation et la classification des unités
discursives.

Résumé de la thèse :

Les moteurs de recherche verticaux, qui se concentrent sur des segments
spécifiques du Web, deviennent aujourd'hui de plus en plus présents dans
le paysage d'Internet. Les moteurs de recherche thématiques, notamment,
peuvent obtenir de très bonnes performances en limitant le corpus indexé
à un thème connu. Les ambiguïtés de la langue sont alors d'autant plus
contrôlables que le domaine est bien ciblé. De plus, la connaissance des
objets et de leurs propriétés rend possible le développement de
techniques d'analyse spécifiques afin d'extraire des informations
pertinentes.

Dans le cadre de cette thèse, nous nous intéressons plus précisément à
la procédure de collecte de documents thématiques à partir du Web pour
alimenter un moteur de recherche thématique. La procédure de collecte
peut être réalisée en s'appuyant sur un moteur de recherche généraliste
existant (recherche orientée) ou en parcourant les hyperliens entre les
pages Web (exploration orientée).

Nous étudions tout d'abord la recherche orientée. Dans ce contexte,
l'approche classique consiste à combiner des mot-clés du domaine
d'intérêt, à les soumettre à un moteur de recherche et à télécharger les
meilleurs résultats retournés par ce dernier. Après avoir évalué
empiriquement cette approche sur 340 thèmes issus de l'OpenDirectory,
nous proposons de l'améliorer en deux points. En amont du moteur de
recherche, nous proposons de formuler des requêtes thématiques plus
pertinentes pour le thème afin d'augmenter la précision de la collecte.
Nous définissons une métrique fondée sur un graphe de cooccurrences et
un algorithme de marche aléatoire, dans le but de prédire la pertinence
d'une requête thématique. En aval du moteur de recherche, nous proposons
de filtrer les documents téléchargés afin d'améliorer la qualité du
corpus produit. Pour ce faire, nous modélisons la procédure de collecte
sous la forme d'un graphe triparti et appliquons un algorithme de marche
aléatoire biaisé afin d'ordonner par pertinence les documents et termes
apparaissant dans ces derniers.

Dans la seconde partie de cette thèse, nous nous focalisons sur
l'exploration orientée du Web. Au coeur de tout robot d'exploration
orientée se trouve une stratégie de crawl qui lui permet de maximiser le
rapatriement de pages pertinentes pour un thème, tout en minimisant le
nombre de pages visitées qui ne sont pas en rapport avec le thème. En
pratique, cette stratégie définit l'ordre de visite des pages. Nous
proposons d'apprendre automatiquement une fonction d'ordonnancement
indépendante du thème à partir de données existantes annotées
automatiquement.

Fourth International Conference
on  Information and Communication Technology
and Accessibility

October 24-26, 2013, Hammamet, Tunisia

www.icta.rnu.tn

Call for papers

The fourth International Conference on ICT & Accessibility ICTA2013 is
organized by the Research Laboratory of Technologies of Information and
Communication and Electrical Engineering (LaTICE), of the University of
Tunis in collaboration with The Computing Center EL KHAWARIZMI (CCK),
with the technical co-sponsorship of IEEE Tunisian Section. This year’s
edition of ICTA has the theme of *“Design 4 all”*. 

People with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive impairments are facing
many barriers to use ICT-based services.  Those barriers might vary as
the infrastructure changes and may prevent the access to information or
interactive services. Also, due to the richness of information, the
infrastructure and contingent factors like language barriers, everybody
can become situationally impaired. The focus will be then put on devices
and software to enhance the lives and promote the independence of people
with disabilities.

The conference explores the design, evaluation and use of computing and
information technologies to make life easier especially for specific
groups of users like people with disabilities. We therefore welcome high
quality and original papers relevant to these issues. Papers that
propose new tools, that assess solutions that show similarities or
differences between existent approaches are then expected. We also
encourage the participation of users and other interested parties as an
additional balance to the discussion. Our aim is to focus on
accessibility by encouraging participation from many disciplines. Views
bridge academia, commerce, and industry and arguments encompassing a
range of beliefs across the design-accessibility spectrum are
presented.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by an international program
committee. The accepted papers, posters and demonstrations will be
published in the IEEE Xplore and indexed by DBLP, Google scholar, and
many others. At least one author of the accepted submissions must
register as the presenter.

Conference venue

ICTA 2013 will be held at Hammamet city-Tunisia, 60 Km south east of the
northern peninsula of Cap-Bon. Hammamet has among North Africa's finest
beach resorts. Once a sleepy fishing village, Hammamet (the name comes
from the Arabic al-hammamat, meaning 'the baths') was awakened to its
tourist potential back in the 1920s when a flock of wealthy and arty
Americans and Europeans decided to make the beautiful bay their
destination. Despite its modern architectural and human incursions,
Hammamet retains its sense of exotic history, dominated by its
15th-century medina and souk packed with treasures like carpets, brass
ornaments, jewellery, pottery, and leather goods. The narrow winding
alleys also conceal bright, whitewashed windowless houses behind
splendid ornate doors. Hammamet also extends on large fields of orange
trees well known by their authentic taste.

Registration

The registration fees including: Proceedings, bag, lunches, coffee break
and Banquet dinner will be kept as low as possible to encourage large
participation (will be up to 350 euros).

Nanterre, 17.06.13

Le labex /Les Passés dans le présent/ recrute pour le projet 
« Modélisation, référentiels et usages» un ingénieur de recherche (IGR2,
premier échelon) à temps plein pour une durée de 6 mois à compter du
1^er septembre 2013. L'employeur est l'Université Paris Ouest Nanterre
La Défense.

Présentation du labex

Le labex porte sur les enjeux d'une médiation dynamique du passé, à
partir d'objets complexes (archives, images, sons, objets...)  et sur les
conditions d'intelligibilité de ceux-ci auprès du public dans le
contexte des technologies numériques.

Partant du constat que, de ce point de vue, un objet antique soulève des
questions du même ordre qu'une photographie d'événements contemporains,
il associe dans une réflexion commune et interdisciplinaire plusieurs
composantes de l'université de Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense
(historiens, archéologues, ethnologues, sociologues, politistes,
philosophes, linguistes), réunies dans 8 équipes (1 USR, 6 unités de
recherche, et la Bibliothèque de documentation internationale
contemporaine), en partenariat avec trois institutions patrimoniales
(Bibliothèque nationale de France, musée d'archéologie nationale, musée
du Quai Branly).

*Profil type *

Doctorat en sciences de l'Information, ou en informatique (ingénierie
des connaissances).

*Compétences requises*

- maitrise des concepts en Science de l'Information, notamment en ce qui
  concerne les thésaurus ;

- maitrise des concepts en Informatique et plus spécifiquement ceux du
  Web sémantique ;

- connaissance, si possible, des modèles CIDOC CRM, Hadoc, FRBR ;

- capacité à travailler en équipe dans un environnement
  interdisciplinaire.

*Mission*

Proposer un modèle conceptuel noyau pour représenter les données
produites par les différents acteurs du labex. Cette mission s'insère
dans le projet mené par le groupe « Modèles et référentiels », coordonné
par Jean-Luc Minel (MODYCO) et Anne Faure (musée du quai Branly), qui
vise à spécifier un modèle noyau de représentation des données et des
connaissances scientifiques produites par les partenaires du projet en
vue de leur exploitation et leur dissémination. La personne recrutée
sera encadrée par Jean-Luc Minel, professeur à l'université Paris Ouest
Nanterre La Défense, directeur de MODYCO.

*Lieu de travail*

Université Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense

**

*Principales tâches*

- évaluer des modèles conceptuels de données existants (FRBR , CIDOC
  CRM, LIDO, etc) ;

- évaluer des référentiels (métiersou génériques) existants (Rameau,
  Thea, etc.) ;

- élaborer un modèle noyau pouvant fédérer les différents projets et
  propositions de recommandations en vue d'assurer l'interopérabilité
  entre les différents projets ;

- contrôler la cohérence des projets et applications des systèmes
  existants avec le modèle cible

- proposer des scénarios d'évolution du modèle ;

- proposer des indicateurs pour mesurer la qualité du modèle ;

- proposer des scénarios pourune architecture technique et fonctionnelle
  du système cible, en collaboration avec les porteurs de projet.

Candidature (curriculum vitae et lettre de motivation) à adresser au
plus tard le 17 juin 2013 à 12h00 à l'adresse suivante :

Offre de post-doc  à ALPAGE

Domaine : Traitement Automatique du Langage : 
Spécialité : Analyse discursive (annotation et modélisation)

Offre de postdoc de 18 mois au sein d'ALPAGE 
(Université Paris Diderot et INRIA :
https://www.rocq.inria.fr/alpage-wiki/tiki-index.php?page=accueil )
dans le cadre de l'ANR Polymnie
(http://semagramme.loria.fr/doku.php?id=projects:polymnie)

L'analyse discursive d'un texte consiste à segmenter le texte en unités
discursives et à relier ces unités récursivement par des "relations de
discours".
Les relations de discours peuvent ou non être signalées par des
"connecteurs de discours".

Plusieurs théories discursives (RST, SDRT, etc) existent mais
l'attention ne s'est guère portée sur l'interaction entre syntaxe et
discours, en particulier sur l'influence de l'enchâssement d'une unité
discursive par rapport à son intégration dans l'analyse discursive.  Le
style de questions que l'on peut se poser est : quels sont les
connecteurs de discours que l'on peut trouver dans une relative ?  Où se
positionnent les arguments de tels connecteurs ?

Le travail portera sur deux aspects, d'une part une annotation manuelle
dans le cadre du projet FDTB (French Discourse Tree Bank) inspiré du
PDTB (Penn Discourse Tree Bank), d'autre part une modélisation de
l'interface syntaxe (phrastique) et sémantique (discursive).

Le candidat idéal aurait les connaissances suivantes  :

- en linguistique :  discours, sémantique (e.g. factualité) et syntaxe 
- en TAL : formalismes grammaticaux (e.g. TAG) et sémantique formelle
  (e.g. DRT ou SDRT)
- en informatique : connaissances des outils d'exploration de corpus
  (langages de script).

Peu de candidats potentiels correspondant à ce profil idéal, les
candidatures qui n'y correspondent que partiellement seront prises en
considération.

Pour candidater, merci d'envoyer par e-mail un CV et une lettre de
motivation à Laurence Danlos (Laurence.Danlos at inria.fr) avant le 10
Juillet.

-WASSS description

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

This workshop will be especially the place where “social emotions” will
be debated from different points of view, with different meanings
depending on the domain.

Bonjour à tous,

Madame Jacqueline Leybaert et Madame Clémence Bayard du CRCN, Université
libre de Bruxelles, Belgique, viendrons nous présenter leurs travaux sur :

"Perception mulit-modale de la LPC : Effet de l’expertise et du statut
auditif"

Date : Jeudi 30 Mai 2013 à 13h30
Lieu : GIPSA-lab, Département Parole & Cognition, salle B314 du site
Ampère
Plan d'accès : http://www.gipsa-lab.grenoble-inp.fr/plan-d-acces.php

Résumé :
La Langue française Parlée Complétée (LPC) est un mode de communication
qui lève les ambigüités de la lecture labiale à l’aide d’un ensemble de
gestes manuels. Tout comme la parole, la LPC a pour particularité d’être
multi-signal (mouvement des lèvres et gestes de la main). Pour aboutir à
un percept cohérent, il est donc nécessaire de combiner les informations
labiales et manuelles Nous avons conduit deux études d’oculométrie afin
de déterminer comment le traitement de ces deux informations évolue avec
le niveau d’expertise et quel est le poids de chacune sur le percept
final.  Les participants devaient identifier des mots/pseudomots (étude
1) ou des syllabes /aCa/ (étude 2) présentées avec un geste congruent
(étude 1) ou incongruent (étude 2) avec l’information
labiale. L’information labiale pouvait être visible (consonnes
antérieures) ou peu visible (consonnes postérieures). Trois groupes de
participants entendant ont été testés (naïfs, débutants ou experts en
LPC) et un groupe de sourds pratiquant la LPC. Les résultats suggèrent
que la visibilité et l’expertise modifie le poids accordé à
l‘information manuelle.

Pour les normo-entendants et les sourds, la perception de la parole
implique un traitement intégratif des informations auditives et
labiales.  Dans une troisième expérience, nous avons étudié comment
cette intégration audiovisuelle de la parole pouvait être affecté par la
présence d’une clé manuelle. Pour ce faire, nous avons élaboré le
premier paradigme expérimental utilisant des stimuli McGurk produit avec
une clé LPC. La clé LPC pouvait être congruente avec l’information
auditive, avec l’information labiale ou avec la fusion attendue. Nos
résultats suggèrent que la clé LPC peut modifier l’intégration
audiovisuelle, et que son impact dépend du statut auditif.

EXCURSION and DINNER   (http://cs.smu.ca/~ciaa2013/excursion.html)
Join your kilted guide and head to Peggy's Cove - an artists' and
explorers' paradise for well over 150 years. This famed village on the
rugged Atlantic Shoreline stands on solid rock above the crashing
surf. The coastline is famous for pirates, shipwrecks, sunsets and the
one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world. There will be
plenty of time for exploring this unique area, and for those who wish,
your guide will take you on a walking tour of the moody cove and
village.
Return to Halifax and enjoy a history and anecdote-filled ride through
the streets of Halifax which will introduce you to one of North
America's most unique and captivating destinations. Hear of the days of
rum-running and privateering, Halifax during the war years, and the
exploits and the heroism of the citizens that lived through the
devastating Halifax Explosion in 1917. Your excursion includes a picture
stop at Citadel Hill and the Old Town Clock, as well as a visit to the
Titanic Burial Site at the Fairview Lawn Cemetery where you will learn
about our connection to this disaster.
Next, an unforgettable dining experience awaits as we step aboard the
Harbour Queen I where we will savour a delicious buffet dinner and
cruise along the beautiful and picturesque harbourside.

Location: LINA - U. of Nantes- Nantes France
http://www.lina.univ-nantes.fr/

Required education: PhD in Computer Sciences with NLP courses
or in Computational linguistics


The work takes place in the context of the Termith project, funded by
the French National Research founding. The collaborative research
project TermITH (Terminology and Indexation of Texts in the area of
Humanities) deals with information access to textual documents via a
full-text indexing which is based on terms which are detected,
disambiguated and analysed.
TermITH deals with scientific area in which the ambiguity between
terminological and general language usage is very high: the
humanities. Five disciplines will be covered: linguistics, history,
sociology, psychology and archaeology.

TermITH?s approach is intended to cross the automatically detected and
disambiguated occurrences of terms in texts with available
interdisciplinary lexicons and terminological resources to isolate the
specific terms for each studied area.
The postdoctoral work will focus on the word-sense and terminological
disambiguation using cross-lingual information. The disambiguation
should be able to distinguish between terminological and language
general senses, and between several terminological entries.  Several
works have demonstrated the validity of using parallel corpora for
bilingual word sense disambiguation.  The use of comparable corpora for
such task has to be investigated. The method will be implemented within
Termith platform, an UIMA framework based on TermSuite.


Termith www.atilf.fr/ressources/termith/
TermSuite http://code.google.com/p/ttc-project/
UIMA http://uima.apache.org/

analysis should be included. Submissions will be judged on
appropriateness, clarity, originality/innovativeness,
correctness/soundness, meaningful comparison, thoroughness,
significance, contributions to research resources, and
replicability. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three
program committee members. Long papers may consist of up to eight (8)
pages of content, plus two extra pages for references; final versions
should take into account reviewers' comments. Papers will be presented
orally or as posters as determined by the program committee. Decisions
on presentation format will be based on the nature rather than the
quality of the work. There will be no distinction in the proceedings
between long papers presented orally and as posters.

The long paper submission deadline is:
- Friday, 18 October 2013, 23:59 CET.

Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished
work. Characteristics of short papers include a small, focused
contribution; work in progress; a negative result; an opinion piece; an
interesting application nugget. Short papers will be presented in one or
more oral or poster sessions, and will be given four (4) pages plus 2
pages for references in the proceedings. While short papers will be
distinguished from long papers in the proceedings, there will be no
distinction in the proceedings between short papers presented orally and
as posters. Each short paper submission will be reviewed by at least two
program committee members.

The deadline for submission of short papers is:
- Monday, 6 January 2014, 23:59 CET.

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.

Le Laboratoire Informatique d'Avignon (LIA) ? l'Universit? d'Avignon et
des Pays de Vaucluse recrute un MCF.


========================
Profil Langage MCF 2013 Section 27
Recherche :

Le laboratoire de rattachement est le LIA (Laboratoire d'Informatique
d'Avignon). Le ma?tre de conf?rence recrut? int?grera la th?matique
langage, l'objectif vis? ?tant le maintien du potentiel de recherche de
l'unit? en traitement automatique du langage naturel ?crit ou oral,
ainsi que sur les sujets charni?res de cette th?matique, ?
l'intersection du traitement de l'?crit et de la parole. Afin de
permettre un recrutement de la meilleure qualit? possible, deux
directions de recherche sont explicit?es :

- une ax?e sur la recherche d'information et le traitement du langage
  naturel ?crit, l'indexation de tr?s larges volumes d'information (web,
  r?seaux sociaux, syst?mes de recommandations bas?s sur le contenu...),
  le d?veloppement d'algorithmes ind?pendants de la langue et du domaine
  faisant appel ? des m?thodes num?riques et ? l'exploitation de
  ressources linguistiques (notamment au niveau s?mantique tels que la
  d?tection d'opinions, le r?sum? automatique de documents, la
  cat?gorisation textuelle, les syst?mes de questions-r?ponses...) ;

- la seconde est orient?e vers l'analyse et l'interpr?tation de la
  parole et du texte dans des contextes de syst?mes d'interactions
  vocales ou de structuration de grandes collections multim?dia. Les
  t?ches vis?es sont notamment l'interpr?tation et la structuration des
  documents audio, l'analyse des opinions, le r?sum? et la traduction
  automatiques, la segmentation et classification th?matique, la
  recherche d'information, la gestion du dialogue. Ces activit?s devront
  s'inscrire dans le contexte de syst?mes op?rationnels (syst?mes de
  dialogue, plate-formes de recherche d'information audio, syst?mes
  multilingues...) et permettre la participation ? des campagnes
  d'?valuation nationales et internationales.

Dans tous les cas, le candidat devra avoir une excellente connaissance
des m?thodes d'apprentissage automatique et une solide culture dans le
domaine du traitement statistique du langage, incluant les principaux
niveaux d'interpr?tation (lexical, syntaxique, s?mantique et
dialogique).
Le candidat devra aussi d?montrer sa capacit? et sa volont? de
s'investir pleinement dans la valorisation des activit?s de recherche,
la mise en place de projets de recherche nationaux, europ?ens et
internationaux et dans la vie du laboratoire en g?n?ral. Le candidat
devra aussi ?tre en mesure de renforcer la participation du LIA dans les
campagnes d'?valuation internationales telles que NIST et CLEF, aussi
bien comme participant que comme organisateur. Enfin il devra ?tre pr?t
? s'investir dans la Structure F?d?rative de Recherche (SFR) Agorantic.

Dans ce cadre, les crit?res recherche qui seront employ?s pour ?valuer
les candidatures sont :
- publications au meilleur niveau
- rayonnement international et mobilit?
- capacit? ? s'investir dans une activit? contractuelle
- animation de la communaut? scientifique
- ad?quation aux comp?tences scientifiques et technologiques sp?cifiques
  cit?es dans le profil

Georges Linares georges.linares at uiv-avignon.fr, Directeur du LIA
Fabrice Lef?vre fabrice.lefevre at univ-avignon.fr, Directeur du CERI

Enseignement :
Le candidat devra ?tre capable d'assurer son service d'enseignement en
Licence ou en Master Informatique. Par ailleurs il sera conduit ?
prendre des responsabilit?s administratives dans le domaine de
l'enseignement, en particulier, les responsabilit?s d'Unit?s
d'Enseignement, le plus rapidement possible. Un investissement fort dans
le pilotage et l'animation de la structure d'enseignement est attendu,
aussi bien au niveau Licence que Master, internes au CERI, en
collaboration ou avec d'autres composantes de l'Universit?, d'autres
Universit?s / Ecoles, aux niveaux national et international En
particulier, le candidat sera amen? tr?s rapidement ? prendre en charge
des enseignements de niveau Master, orient?s industrie et R&D, li?s aux
formations en cr?ation, par exemple : ing?nierie des syst?mes
d'information, gestion ?lectronique de documents (GED), fouille de
donn?es (Data et Text Mining) ou encore syst?mes et logiciels embarqu?s
et s?curit?.

Stylistique automatique et identification d'auteurs

Sujet propos? par Jean-Gabriel GANASCIA (Jean-Gabriel.Ganascia at lip6.fr)
Unit? de recherche UMR 7606 Laboratoire d'informatique de Paris 6

Date limite de soumission : les personnes int?ress?es doivent envoyer un
CV et une lettre de motivation ? Jean-Gabriel Ganascia
(Jean-Gabriel.Ganascia at lip6.fr) avant le 24 mai 2013.

Domaine principal: Sciences et technologies de l'information et de la
communication 
Domaine secondaire : analyse litt?raire
Th?mes: intelligence artificielle, fouille de donn?es, traitement
automatique des langues naturelles.


Projet

Cette th?se porte sur la stylistique automatique ? l'aide de techniques
d'apprentissage automatique. Il s'agit de caract?riser l'auteur, le
genre ou l'?poque. Dans le pass?, beaucoup de travaux ont port? sur
l'attribution de paternit? de textes. Il s'agit de reprendre ces ?tudes
avec deux ambitions:

- renouveler les m?thodes: ? la diff?rence des m?thodes classique fond?e
  sur la lexicom?trie, l'approche propos?e fera appel ? une extraction
  de motifs syntaxiques.

- identifier les caract?ristiques du style: les motifs syntaxiques
  devraient aider ? expliciter les caract?ristiques du style de tel
  auteur, de tel type de texte ou de telle ?poque.

Pour mener ? bien ce travail, on aura recours ?

- des techniques de traitement automatique des langues (?tiquetage
  syntaxique, analyse syntaxique, etc.)
- de la fouille de textes (extraction de motifs r?currents)
- de l'apprentissage supervis?

Les recherches se poursuivront dans le cadre du Labex OBVIL qui fait
collaborer l'?quipe ACASA du LIP6 avec les ?quipes de litt?rature de
l'universit? Paris-Sorbonne. Cela permettra de valider les approches
propos?es en contact avec des ?quipes de litt?rature. Cela fournira
aussi des corpus pertinents. A titre d'illustration, une premi?re
validation doit porter sur les romans ?rotiques du XIXe si?cle, dont les
auteurs sont en partie anonymes.

Enjeux

Les d?fis scientifiques de cette th?se sont doubles:

Il faut am?liorer les techniques d'attribution de paternit? de
textes. Pour cela on fera des comparaisons sur des corpus connus avec
les techniques classiques fond?es sur la lexicom?trie, c'est-?-dire sur
des vecteurs de mots.

Le second d?fi porte sur le renouveau de la stylistique: il faut induire
des caract?ristiques lisibles, c'est-?-dire des motifs syntaxiques
suffisamment longs. Cela exige le recours ? des analyseurs syntaxiques
automatiques, puis ? des approches d'extraction de motifs.

Ouverture ? l'international

Comme dit plus haut, ce projet se r?alisera dans le cadre du Labex
OBVIL. Ce Labex entretien des liens privil?gi? avec le projet ARTFL de
l'universit? de Chicago avec qui nous aurons plusieurs ?changes.

Une th?se de litt?rature en co-tutelle entre le Labex OBVIL et une
?quipe de linguistique informatique de l'universit? de Saint-Petersburg
(Russie) se d?roule actuellement. Elle porte sur l'identification des
auteurs de plusieurs romans ?rotiques du XIXe si?cle. Cette th?se se
fera en collaboration avec cette ?quipe.

Enfin, dans le cadre du Labex OBVIL, il existe des partenariats
europ?ens et avec les Etats-Unis.

           14th Annual Meeting of the Special Interest Group
                       on Discourse and Dialogue

             http://www.sigdial.org/workshops/conference14/
                              Metz, France
                           22-24 August 2013

Note: Deadline for papers is Friday, 3 May 2013

CALL FOR PAPERS

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

Topics of Interest

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

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

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

Special Theme: Discourse and Dialogue in Social Media

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

INVITED SPEAKERS

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

SUBMISSIONS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

FORMAT

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

MENTORING SERVICE

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

BEST PAPER AWARDS

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

SPONSORSHIP

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

DIALOGUE AND DISCOURSE

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

to further progress on the findings from the first edition which was
held (together with the ESIRMT workshop) as a joint 2-day EACL 2012
workshop.

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

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

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

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

*Submission Instructions*

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


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


Double submission policy: Parallel submission to other meetings or
publications are possible but must be immediately notified to the

**Projet
Le domaine du sentiment analysis et de l?opinion mining  est un domaine
en plein essor avec l?arriv?e en masse de donn?es textuelles sur le web
comportant des expressions d?opinions par les citoyens (critiques de
films, d?bats sur les commentaires de forums, tweets) (El-B?ze et
al. 2010)). Les recherches en traitement automatique des langues se
mobilisent sur le d?veloppement de m?thodes de d?tection d?opinion dans
les textes en s?appuyant sur ces nouvelles ressources. La diversit? des
donn?es et des applications industrielles faisant appel ? ces m?thodes
multiplient les d?fis scientifiques ? relever avec, notamment, la prise
en compte des diff?rents contextes d??nonciation (e.g., contexte social
et politique, personnalit? du locuteur) et la d?finition du ph?nom?ne
d?opinion ? analyser en fonction du contexte applicatif. Ces m?thodes
d?analyse des sentiments dans les textes s??tendent ?galement depuis peu
? l?oral en passant par l?analyse des transcriptions automatiques issues
de syst?mes de reconnaissance automatique de la parole pour des
probl?matiques d?indexation d??missions radiophoniques ou de centres
d?appels (Clavel et al., 2013), et peuvent ?tre ainsi corr?l?es aux
m?thodes d?analyse acoustique/prosodique des ?motions (Clavel et al.,
2010).

Autre domaine scientifique en plein essor, celui des agents
conversationnels anim?s (ACA) fait intervenir des personnages virtuels
int?ragissant avec l?humain. Les ACA peuvent prendre un r?le d?assistant
comme les agents conversationnels pr?sents sur les sites de vente
(Suignard, 2010), de tuteur dans le cadre des Serious Games (Chollet et
al. 2012) ou encore de partenaire dans le cadre des jeux vid?os. Le d?fi
scientifique majeur pour ce domaine est l?int?gration, au sein de l?ACA,
de la composante affective de l?interaction. Il s?agit d?une part de
prendre en compte les comportements affectifs et des attitudes sociales
de l?humain et d?autre part de les g?n?rer de fa?on pertinente.

Nous proposons pour cette th?se de travailler sur la d?tection des
opinions et des sentiments dans un contexte d?interaction multimodale de
l?humain avec un agent conversationnel anim?, sujet jusqu'? maintenant
peu ?tudi? par la ?communaut? agent?. En effet, d?un c?t?, les ACA
r?agissent ? des contenus ?motionnels essentiellement non verbaux
(Schr?der et al., 2011) et de l?autre c?t?, les ACA ?assistant?
r?agissent ? partir des contenus verbaux informatif (Suignard, 2010)
sans prendre en compte les opinions ou les sentiments exprim?s par
l?utilisateur. Des premi?res ?tudes ont ?t? r?alis?es sur la
reconnaissance de l?affect dans le langage dans un contexte
d?interaction avec un agent (Osherenko et al., 2009) mais celles-ci
restent envisag?es ind?pendamment de la strat?gie de dialogue.

Les d?veloppements de la th?se s?int?greront dans la plateforme GRETA
qui repose sur l?architecture SAIBA, une architecture globale unifi?e
d?velopp?e par la ?communaut? agent? pour la g?n?ration de comportements
multimodaux (Niewiadomski et al., 2011). Greta permet de communiquer
avec l?humain en g?n?rant chez l?agent une large palette de
comportements expressifs verbaux et non verbaux (Bevacqua et al.,
2012). Elle peut simultan?ment montrer des expressions faciales, des
gestes, des regards et des mouvements de t?tes. Cette plateforme a
notamment ?t? int?gr?e dans le cadre du projet SEMAINE avec le
d?veloppement d?une architecture temps-r?el d?interaction humain-agent
(Schr?der et al., 2011) qui inclut des analyses acoustiques et vid?os,
un syst?me de gestion du dialogue et, du c?t? de la synth?se, le syst?me
Text To Speech OpenMary et l?agent virtuel de la plateforme GRETA. A
l?instar de ce projet, la d?tection d?opinions et de sentiments
envisag?e dans la th?se interviendra en entr?e des mod?les
d?interactions multi-modaux de la plateforme. La strat?gie de dialogue
multimodale associ?e ? ces entr?es relatives au contenu verbal devra
?tre d?finie et int?gr?e dans la plateforme GRETA.

**Enjeux
La th?se portera sur le d?veloppement conjoint de m?thodes de d?tection
des opinions et des sentiments et de strat?gies de dialogue
humain-agent. Les m?thodes envisag?es sont des m?thodes hybrides m?lant
apprentissage statistique et r?gles expertes.  Pour les strat?gies de
dialogue, le doctorant pourra s?appuyer sur les travaux r?alis?s dans le
cadre du moteur de dialogue DISCO (Rich et al., 2012) et du moteur
d?velopp? dans le projet Semaine(Schr?der et al., 2011). Les m?thodes
d?velopp?es pourront ?galement s?appuyer sur des analyses de corpus
humain-humain ou de type Magicien d?Oz (McKeown et al., 2012) et un
protocole d??valuation de ces m?thodes devra ?tre mis en place. En
particulier, pour r?pondre ? cet objectif, la th?se devra aborder les
probl?matiques suivantes:

-  la d?finition des types d?opinions et de sentiments pertinents ?
   consid?rer en entr?e du moteur de dialogue. Il s?agira d?aller
   au-del? del? de la distinction classique entre opinions positives et
   opinions n?gatives, peu pertinente dans ce contexte, en s?appuyant
   sur les mod?les issus de la psycholinguistique (Martin and White,
   2007);

- l?identification des marqueurs lexicaux, syntaxiques, s?mantiques et
  dialogiques des opinions et des sentiments;

- la prise en compte du contexte d??nonciation: les r?gles impl?ment?es
  pourront int?grer diff?rentes fen?tres d?analyse : la phrase, le tour
  de parole et les tours de paroles ant?rieurs;

- la prise en compte des probl?matiques temps-r?el de l?interaction :
  des strat?gies de dialogues seront d?finies en fonction des
  diff?rentes fen?tres d?analyse afin de proposer des strat?gies
  d?interactions ? diff?rents niveaux de r?activit?. Par exemple,
  certains mots-cl?s pourront ?tre utilis?s comme d?clencheurs de
  backchannel en temps r?els et la planification des comportements de
  l?agent pourra ?tre ajust?e au fur et ? mesure de l?avancement de
  l?interaction.

**Ouverture ? l?international:
Ces travaux de th?se interviennent en compl?mentarit? des travaux
r?alis?s sur les interactions non verbales dans le cadre du projet
europ?en FP7 TARDIS prenant comme application les Serious games dans le
cas d?un entrainement ? l?entretien d?embauche
(http://tardis.lip6.fr/presentation) et des travaux r?alis?s sur le
traitement des signaux sociaux dans le cadre du r?seau d?excellence
SSPNET (http://sspnet.eu/) Une collaboration avec Candy Sidner,
professeur au d?partement Computer Science du Worcester Polytechnic
Institute et experte en mod?les computationnels d?int?ractions verbales
et non verbales et ? l?origine du moteur de dialogue DISCO (Richet et
al. 2012) sera ?galement mise en place.

Fourth International Conference

on  Information and Communication Technology
and Accessibility

October 24-26, 2013, Hammamet, Tunisia

www.icta.rnu.tn

Call for papers

The fourth International Conference on ICT & Accessibility ICTA2013 is
organized by the Research Laboratory of Technologies of Information and
Communication and Electrical Engineering (LaTICE), of the University of
Tunis in collaboration with The Computing Center EL KHAWARIZMI (CCK),
with the technical co-sponsorship of IEEE Tunisian Section. This year?s
edition of ICTA has the theme of ?Design 4 all?.

People with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive impairments are facing
many barriers to use ICT-based services.  Those barriers might vary as
the infrastructure changes and may prevent the access to information or
interactive services. Also, due to the richness of information, the
infrastructure and contingent factors like language barriers, everybody
can become situationally impaired. The focus will be then put on devices
and software to enhance the lives and promote the independence of people
with disabilities.

The conference explores the design, evaluation and use of computing and
information technologies to make life easier especially for specific
groups of users like people with disabilities. We therefore welcome high
quality and original papers relevant to these issues. Papers that
propose new tools, that assess solutions that show similarities or
differences between existent approaches are then expected. We also
encourage the participation of users and other interested parties as an
additional balance to the discussion. Our aim is to focus on
accessibility by encouraging participation from many disciplines. Views
bridge academia, commerce, and industry and arguments encompassing a
range of beliefs across the design-accessibility spectrum are presented.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by an international program
committee.  The accepted papers, posters and demonstrations will be
published in the IEEE Xplore and indexed by DBLP, Google scholar, and
many others. At least one author of the accepted submissions must
register as the presenter.

Conference venue

ICTA 2013 will be held at Hammamet city-Tunisia, 60 Km south east of the
northern peninsula of Cap-Bon. Hammamet has among North Africa's finest
beach resorts. Once a sleepy fishing village, Hammamet (the name comes
from the Arabic al-hammamat, meaning 'the baths') was awakened to its
tourist potential back in the 1920s when a flock of wealthy and arty
Americans and Europeans decided to make the beautiful bay their
destination. Despite its modern architectural and human incursions,
Hammamet retains its sense of exotic history, dominated by its
15th-century medina and souk packed with treasures like carpets, brass
ornaments, jewellery, pottery, and leather goods. The narrow winding
alleys also conceal bright, whitewashed windowless houses behind
splendid ornate doors. Hammamet also extends on large fields of orange
trees well known by their authentic taste.

Registration

The registration fees including: Proceedings, bag, lunches, coffee break
and Banquet dinner will be kept as low as possible to encourage large
participation (will be up to 350 euros).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Description :

The Health Terminology/Ontology Portal (HeTOP) was developed to provide
easy access to health terminologies and ontologies. The repository is
not only dedicated to professionals but is also a valuable teaching
tool. Currently, it provides access to fourty five health terminologies
and ontologies available mainly in French or in English, but also in
German, Italian, Chinese, etc. HeTOP can be used by both humans and
computers via Web services.

To integrate new resources into HeTOP, three steps are necessary: (1)
designing a meta-model into which each terminology (or ontology) can be
integrated, (2) developing a process to include terminologies into
HeTOP, (3) building and integrating existing and new inter &
intra-terminology semantic harmonization into HeTOP. Currently, 600
unique machines use the MeSH version of HeTOP every day and restricted
terminologies/ontologies are used for teaching purposes in several
medical schools in France. The multilingual version of HeTOP is
available (URL: http://hetop.eu/) and provides free access to ICD10 and
FMA in ten languages.

Conclusion: HeTOP is a rich tool, useful for a wide range of
applications and users, especially in education and resource indexing
but also in information retrieval or performing audits in terminology
management.

              Prague, Czech Republic, September 2-4, 2013

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

* New: indexed by Scopus

PSC'13 is the 18th event of the Prague Stringology Club. It is an
international conference focusing on stringology and related areas. It
is organized annually by the Prague Stringology Club, a research group
in the Department of Theoretical Computer Science at the Faculty of
Information Technology of Czech Technical University in Prague. The
proceedings of recent conferences are indexed in Scopus and DBLP.

TOPICS:

Stringology is a part of algorithmic research that deals with the
processing of text strings. It has existed for at least thirty years and
developed into a respected subfield of its own. The last twenty years
have produced an explosion of new results. This progress is due in part
to the human genome effort, an area to which string algorithms make
important contributions. String processing extends into tree processing
that is called Arbology. The topics of the conference include but are
not limited to:

  * algorithms for pattern matching in strings, images and trees
  * data structures (automata, trees etc.) for pattern matching
    in strings, images and trees
  * coding and data compression
  * bioinformatics
  * information retrieval
  * string processing algorithms in databases
  * searching for regularities
  * natural language processing

INVITED TALK:

  * Trees and Pushdown Automata
    Borivoj Melichar, Czech Technical University in Prague

SUBMISSION:

Authors are cordially invited to submit their full papers (PDF format,
up to 15 pages, A4 page format) by May 6, 2013. The paper should start
with the title, each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, and
a one-paragraph summary of the results and ideas. The paper should be
submitted via submission server
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=psc2013).

For their final version the papers are required to be prepared using the

HISTORY:

PSC'13 was preceded by Prague Stringology Workshops in 1996-2000 and by
Prague Stringology Conferences in 2001-2006, 2008-2012. Each year
proceedings are prepared for the conference. They are published by Czech
Technical University in Prague and are also available from the PSC web
pages. Selected papers from the later workshops were also published in a
special issue of the journal Kybernetika. Selected papers from the
2002-2006, 2008 conferences were then published in the Nordic Journal of
Computing, Journal of Automata, Languages, and Combinatorics, and
International Journal of Foundations in Computer Science. A special
issue for 2010 and 2011 is prepared for Discrete Applied Mathematics.

LOCATION & PUBLICATION:

PSC'13 will be held at the Department of Theoretical Computer Science
the Czech Technical University in Prague on September 2-4, 2013.  (The
precise location will be announced later.) The working language is
English. As usual, accepted papers will appear in conference proceedings
published by the Czech Technical University in Prague and distributed at
the conference. After further refereeing, selected papers will then be
published in an international journal.

Apologies for cross-posting.

Submissions are invited to the KDD13 Workshop on Issues of Sentiment
Discovery and Opinion Mining (http://sentic.net/wisdom), which aims to
explore how the wisdom of the crowds is affecting (and will affect) the
evolution of the Web and of businesses gravitating around it. In
particular, the ACM KDD workshop explores two different stages of
sentiment analysis: the former focusing on the identification of
opinionated text over the Web, the latter focusing on the classification
of such text either in terms of polarity detection or emotion
recognition. Deadline has been extended to 26th May.

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


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

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

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

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

**********************
**Enjeu scientifique**

Cette th?se s'int?resse plus particuli?rement aux *expressions
polylexicales* (EP) fig?es ou semi-fig?es (en anglais: *Multi-Word
Expressions*, MWEs), telles que "pomme de terre", "prendre le taureau
par les cornes", "?tre ? la hauteur de quelque chose", "ne pas voir plus
loin que le bout de son nez", etc. Ces expressions, bien qu'au centre
d'une longue tradition d'?tudes linguistiques, constituent aujourd'hui
l'un des freins majeurs au d?veloppement d'applications de traitement de
la langue qui soient ? la fois robustes et pr?cises (Sag et al 2002).

Les expressions polylexicales [Rayson et al., 2010] sont omnipr?sentes
dans les corpus textuels et oraux. Elles peuvent recouvrir jusqu'? 40\%
de tous les mots d'un texte, mais elles sont difficiles ? reconna?tre, ?
comprendre et ? traduire par les outils actuels du TAL. L'une des
difficult?s majeures r?side dans les propri?t?s tr?s h?t?rog?nes des EP,
et cela ? diff?rents niveaux de traitement linguistique: segmentation,
lexique, syntaxe, s?mantique, etc. Ceci conduit ? une fragmentation des
connaissances sur les EP. Par exemple, les lexiques d'EP - telles que
noms compos?s [Gralinski et al 2010], noms propres polylexicaux [Tran
and Maurel, 2006], termes sp?cialis?s [Savary et al., 2012],
dictionnaires de valences, lexiques-grammaires [Tolone and Sagot, 2011],
etc. - parfois de large couverture, sont souvent cr??s sans lien
explicite avec des formalismes grammaticaux [Savary, 2008]. De ce fait
l'exploitation de ces ressources pr?cieuses, par exemple dans l'analyse
syntaxique automatique (parsing), est souvent difficile. D'autre part,
les grammaires existantes prennent rarement en compte les EP, m?me si
les formalismes grammaticaux associ?s (HPSG, LFG, TAG, CCG, grammaires
de d?pendance, etc.) incluent des m?canismes pouvant permettre la
repr?sentation de telles expressions.


**********************
**Projet de la th?se**

Cette th?se vise ? ?largir les connaissances des EP, pour pouvoir ?
terme surmonter les difficult?s mentionn?es plus haut. Pour cela, elle
se placera ? l'interface entre le lexique et la grammaire, et de
proposer des m?thodes hybrides de repr?sentation et de traitement des
EP: guid?es ? la fois par les connaissances (descriptions ?labor?es par
les linguistes) et par les donn?es (corpus annot?s). Nous allons
notamment nous int?resser aux questions suivantes:

- Comment exprimer les propri?t?s ? la fois fig?es (n?cessitant une
  description lexicale) et pr?visibles (exprimables par une grammaire)
  des EP en plusieurs langues (le fran?ais, le polonais, l'anglais ou
  d'autres langues connues par le candidat) [Gr?goire, 2010] ?

- En particulier, comment repr?senter les ph?nom?nes pertinents pour
  l'analyse syntaxique (accord, discontinuit?, ordre de mots variable,
  etc.) ?

- Comment structurer les lexiques des EP afin de les rendre utilisables
  par diff?rents formalismes grammaticaux ?

- Comment int?grer de tels lexiques dans un syst?me d'analyse syntaxique
  probabiliste [Nivre and Nilsson, 2004, Constant et al., 2012] ?

La progression de cette th?se pourra s'organiser comme suit: dans un
premier temps, nous envisagerons la cr?ation ou l'adaptation de
ressources lexicales d'EP pour un emploi par une grammaire. Suivra la
conception d'un formalisme lexical abstrait (par exemple sous forme
d'une m?ta-grammaire [Duchier et al., 2011b], [Crabb? et al., 2013]) qui
permettrait la description des propri?t?s h?t?rog?nes des EP, compilable
vers diff?rents formalismes grammaticaux. Son utilisabilit? pour au
moins deux formalismes (par exemple TAG et LFG), ainsi que pour
l'analyse probabiliste, sera ?valu?e. Des prolongations possibles
incluent:

- l'expression de la s?mantique des EP,
- la description des EP dans des formalismes grammaticaux novateurs tel
  que les grammaires de propri?t?s [Duchier et al., 2011a].


**************************
**Contexte international**

Cette th?se sera plac?e au centre de *action europ?ene PARSEME* (PARsing
and Multi-word Expressions), r?cemment s?lectionn?e dans le cadre du
programme *COST*
(http://www.cost.eu/domains\_actions/ict/Actions/IC1207(. Il s'agit
d'une initiative qui rassemble un consortium de 25 pays europ?ens et
deux pays hors Europe (USA et Br?sil) autour des verrous scientifiques
li?s au traitement automatique des expressions polylexicales. Les
laboratoires LI et LIFO comptent parmi les initiateurs de cette action,
qui a d?but? au mois de mars 2013. Le doctorant encadr? sur le sujet
pr?sent? ici pourra b?n?ficier de soutiens financiers sp?cifiques pour
les d?placements ? des r?unions de travail de l'action, des missions de
courte dur?e dans diff?rents pays partenaires, des ?coles d'?t? ou
encore des conf?rences. Des liens particuli?rement forts pourront ?tre
nou?s avec le Laboratoire d'Informatique de l'Acad?mie Polonaise des
Sciences ? Varsovie (IPIPAN).

Call for Papers

The First Workshop on the Exploration, Navigation and Retrieval of
Information in Cultural Heritage - ENRICH 2013

http://www.cultura-strep.eu/events/enrich-2013/

To be held in conjunction with the 36th Annual ACM SIGIR Conference

Workshop date: August 1st, 2013

Location: Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.

Submission deadline: 9th June 2013

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

ENRICH 2013 has three main goals:

- to discuss the challenges and opportunities in Information Retrieval
  research in the area of Cultural Heritage

- to encourage collaboration between researchers engaged in work in this
  specialist area of Information Retrieval, and to foster the formation
  of a research community

- to identify a set of actions which the community should undertake to
  progress research in this area

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

A key challenge facing the curators and providers of digital cultural
heritage worldwide is to instigate, increase and enhance engagement with
their collections. To achieve this, a fundamental change in the way
these artefacts can be discovered, explored and contributed to by users
and communities is required. Cultural heritage artefacts are digital
representations of primary resources: manuscript collections, paintings,
books, photographs etc. The text-based resources are often innately
?noisy?, contain non-standard spelling, poor punctuation and obsolete
grammar and word forms. The image-based resources often have limited
associated metadata which describes the resources and their content. In
addition, the information needs and tasks of cultural heritage users are
often complex and diverse. This presents a specific set of challenges to
traditional Information Retrieval (IR) techniques and approaches.

This workshop will investigate the enhanced retrieval of, and
interaction with, cultural heritage collections. We are interested in
investigating innovative forms of personalised, multi-lingual IR, which
can include:

- IR approaches tailored to cope with the inconsistencies which are
  common in cultural heritage collections.

- Content-aware retrieval approaches which respond to the entities and
  relationships contained within artefacts and across collections.

- Personalised IR and presentation.

- Community-aware IR approaches which respond to community activity,
  interest, contribution and experience.

Such new forms of enhanced IR require rigorous evaluation and validation
using appropriate metrics, contrasting digital cultural heritage
collections and diverse users and communities. This workshop welcomes
submissions which investigate such evaluation, taking into account the
specific requirements of the domain. The nature of cultural heritage
resources means that content analysis in support of IR is of specific
interest. This includes the automated normalisation of historical texts,
the use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for entity extraction and
metadata generation.

The ENRICH workshop aims to promote the exchange of ideas between
researchers working on the theory and foundations of IR, cross and
multi-lingual IR, personalised IR and recommender systems.

There are numerous research areas that can support such improved
retrieval and exploration in the area of cultural heritage. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

- Multilingual semantic search
- Context-aware and semantic recommender systems
- Adaptation engines and algorithms for personalised multilingual IR
- User modeling and adaptation (e.g. creation and exploitation of
  individual or stereotypical user profiles)
- Content personalisation and personalised result presentation
  (e.g. beyond the ranked list)
- Domain modeling
- External knowledge resources for IR (e.g. ontologies)
- Evaluation methodologies and metrics for personalised multilingual IR
- Information Extraction, Data Mining and Natural Language Processing
- Social Network Analysis

*Submissions*

We invite researchers to submit two categories of paper:

Long paper submissions should report on substantial contributions of
lasting value. Each accepted long paper will be presented in a plenary
session of the workshop program. The maximum length is 8 pages.

Short paper submissions should discuss exciting new work that is not yet
mature enough for a long paper. The presentation may include the
demonstration of a system. The maximum length is 4 pages.

Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the workshop.


All submissions should be prepared according to the ACM SIG Proceedings
Templates, as for all SIGIR submissions.

For your convenience, you can use the templates for Microsoft Word or
LaTeX that have been made available on the ACM website:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates/


The ENRICH Workshop does not use blind reviews, so please include
authors? names and affiliations on your submission. All submissions will
receive several independent reviews.
Submissions must be in PDF format and must be in English.
All papers must be submitted electronically before the 9th of June 2013
through the EasyChair submission page
-https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=enrich2013

ENRICH 2013 will be hosted in the Long Room Hub, the Digital Arts and
Humanities Research Institute of Trinity College Dublin
-http://www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub/. The Long Room Hub is a signature
building at the heart of the historic TCD campus. The institute takes

--FCA4AI-- 
``What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?'' 
(Second Edition) 
co-located with IJCAI 2013 

August 3-5, 2013 

Beijing, China 

http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru 

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

The first edition of the FCA4AI Workshop at ECAI 2012 in Montpellier
showed that many researchers working in Artificial Intelligence are
indeed interested by a powerful method for classification and mining
such as Formal Concept Analysis (http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-939/). We have
the chance to organize a new edition of the workshop in Beijing at the
IJCAI 2013 Conference.

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory
aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a
concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications) which can be
used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge processing involving learning,
knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology
engineering, and as well as information retrieval and text processing.
Thus, there exist many ``natural links'' between FCA and AI.

Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around
FCA, in particular a strand of work emerged that is aimed at extending
the possibilities of FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing, such as work on
pattern structures and relational context analysis. These extensions are
aimed at allowing FCA to deal with more complex than just binary data,
both from the data analysis and knowledge discovery point of view and
from the knowledge representation point of view, including, e.g.,
ontology engineering.  All these works extend the capabilities of FCA
and offer new possibilities for AI activities in the framework of FCA.

Accordingly, in this workshop, we will be interested in two main issues: 

- How can FCA support AI activities such as knowledge processing
  (knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning),
  learning (clustering, pattern and data mining), natural language
  processing, information retrieval.

- How can FCA be extended in order to help AI researchers to solve new
  and complex problems in their domain.

The workshop is dedicated to discuss such issues. 

INVITED SPEAKER 
TBA 

TOPICS OF INTEREST include but are not limited to: 

- Concept lattices and related structures: description logics, pattern
  structures, relational structures.

- Knowledge discovery and data mining with FCA: association rules,
  itemsets and data dependencies, attribute implications, data
  pre-processing, redundancy and dimensionality reduction,
  classification and clustering.

- Knowledge engineering and ontology engineering: knowledge
  representation and reasoning.

- Scalable algorithms for concept lattices and artificial intelligence
  ``in the large'' (distributed aspects, big data).

- Applications of concept lattices: semantic web, information retrieval,
  visualization and navigation, pattern recognition.

The workshop will include time for audience discussion for having a
better understanding of the issues, challenges, and ideas being
presented.

IMPORTANT DATES: 

Submission deadline: May 13, 2013 
Notification to authors: June 17, 2013 
Final version: July 08, 2013 
Workshop: August 03-05, 2013 


SUBMISSION DETAILS: 

The workshop welcomes submissions in pdf format in Springer's LNCS
style.
Submissions can be 
- technical papers not exceeding 8 pages, 
- system descriptions or position papers on work in progress not 
  exceeding 4 pages 

Submissions are via EasyChair at 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fca4ai2013 

The workshop proceedings will be published as CEUR proceedings. 
A selection of the best papers presented at the workshop will be
considered for a special issue of a high-level journal.

-------------------------------
3 Juin 2013
9h- 9h30 Accueil
LIRMM, 161 rue Ada, 34095 Montpellier Cedex 5 - France
---------------------------------
  
Interm?diaire entre discours oral et ?crit, les fora de discussion en
ligne sont des espaces d??changes asynchrones de messages textuels. La
journ?e porte plus pr?cis?ment sur l?utilisation et sur les perspectives
d?exploitation des fora qui permettent ? des internautes en tout genre
(le plus souvent, n??tant pas des professionnels de la sant?) d'?changer
? propos de leur sant?.
 
Une premi?re lecture des messages de tels fora nous montre que les
patients les utilisent :

	- pour partager leurs exp?riences et trouver une oreille
          attentive et r?confortante ? leurs probl?mes.

	- dans une perspective d?autom?dication, pour identifier le bon
          produit, un m?dicament ou une th?rapie ? naturelle ? et les
          lieux o? l'on peut se procurer ces produits. Certains
          ?patients-auteurs? adaptent ainsi le dosage d'une prescription
          en s'inspirant des exp?riences des autres.

	- pour g?rer les effets des traitements, en anticipant ou en
          essayant de limiter les effets secondaires. Ainsi, souvent
          tr?s critiques avec le discours m?dical, ils d?veloppent une
          r?elle attitude de consommateur proactif.

 
Diff?rentes ?tudes ont montr? que la communication et l'anonymat
derri?re un ordinateur facilitent l'expression d'?motions ou d'opinions
qui sont g?n?ralement r?prim?es lors de communications plus
traditionnelles comme des interviews en face ? face ou des enqu?tes. En
outre, en compl?ment de leur lecture et contribution aux fora, les
patients veulent souvent identifier des pointeurs vers des informations
? v?rifi?es ? en sant?.
 
Analyser les fora de sant? est donc un enjeu important pour les
professionnels de sant? car ils repr?sentent une base volumineuse,
riche, vari?e, unique, atypique? de connaissances des perceptions qu'ont
les patients de leur maladie et des soins qui leur sont ?ventuellement
prodigu?s. Dans ce contexte subjectif, la caract?risation et la
compr?hension de ces perceptions est difficile, mais particuli?rement
int?ressante afin de compl?ter et am?liorer les programmes de sant?
publique. De nombreux verrous sont associ?s ? l?analyse semi-automatique
de ces fora, en particulier la volum?trie des textes et leur
h?t?rog?n?it?, aussi bien dans leur structure que dans leur contenu.

Cette journ?e a pour but de confronter les exp?riences des chercheurs,
des industriels et des professionnels de sant? confront?s ? des
probl?matiques li?es ? l?utilisation des informations pr?sentes dans les
fora de sant? ou travaillant sur des technologies permettant de les
exploiter. La journ?e s'organisera autour des points suivants :

	- Exposer des besoins concernant l'utilisation des informations
          pr?sentes dans les fora, rencontr?s dans diff?rents domaines
          d?application en sant?, de fa?on ? situer les discussions
          ult?rieures dans des perspectives concr?tes.

	- Pr?senter diff?rentes approches de mod?lisation,
          repr?sentation et traitement des informations contenues dans
          les fora de sant?

	- Appr?hender des travaux, outils et projets d?velopp?s autour
          de l?exploitation des fora et souligner ainsi les apports et
          verrous identifi?s.

Computing Veracity of Social Media Healthcare Content
University of Sheffield - Department of Computer Science

Natural Language Processing Group

3-year studentship

The NLP group at the University of Sheffield is inviting applications
for a fully funded PhD studentship on computing veracity of social media
content.

Application closing date is 31 May 2013.

The aim of this studentship is to design natural language processing
methods to compute veracity of social media content and deal with the
specifics of medical language. The goal is to model, identify, and
verify healthcare-related misinformation and disinformation, as they
spread across online media (e.g. patient forums) and social
networks. Natural language processing (NLP) now provides many
indispensable tools for working with large unstructured text
collections, allowing effective search, information extraction and
translation. Social media content poses a number of difficult and
interesting NLP research challenges. The studentship will also involve a
close collaboration with healthcare researchers from a large NHS trust
and opportunities for working with natural language processing of
clinical records.

The PhD studentship will be associated to a larger research project
about developing novel cross-disciplinary social semantic methods,
combining document semantics, a priori large-scale world knowledge
(e.g. Linked Open Data) and a posteriori knowledge and context from
social networks, past user behaviour, and spatio-temporal metadata. The
research will also involve use of and further development of GATE
(http://gate.ac.uk), which is a leading open-source NLP toolkit,
developed by an established team of 12 researchers.

Candidates should have a First Class Honours or a good 2.1 degree in
Computer Science and have excellent computer programming
skills. Experience with natural language processing and machine learning
techniques is essential, and detailed knowledge of biomedical NLP,
medical ontologies, and Linked Open Data are highly desirable. A
background in linguistics and/or fluency in multiple languages would
also be desirable, but is not strictly necessary.

The grant will cover all study fees for EU and UK nationals and a living
stipend for three years plus a travel fund for attending collaborative
meetings and international conferences.

For further information please contact Dr Kalina Bontcheva
(K.Bontcheva at dcs.shef.ac.uk).

Second call for papers

"Current research in readability and text simplification"

A special issue of the International Journal of Applied Linguistics
(ITL)
(http://poj.peeters-leuven.be/content.php?url=journal&journal_code=itl)
#############################################################

With the rapid growth of the number of online documents, Internet has
become a formidable source of information. However, most of the reliable
websites are intended for rather experienced readers and can present
comprehension difficulties for certain types of readers, such as
children, learners of a foreign language, or readers with language
deficits. To offer those kind of readers a better access to information,
two strategies based on natural language processing (NLP) have been
investigated in recent years: readability and text simplification.

Readability includes a range of methods targeted at the automatic
evaluation of text difficulty in relation to a given population of
readers. Throughout the 20th century, various readability formulas have
been developped (Dale and Chall, 1948; Flesch, 1948 ; Fry, 1968). They
have been recently enhanced using various contributions from NLP, such
as language models (Collins-Thompson, 2005, Schwarm and Ostendorf, 2005
; Heilman et al., 2007, ...), various aspects of discourse (Pitler and
Nenkova, 2008; Feng et al., 2010) or multiword expressions (Watrin and
Fran?ois, 2011). Moreover, criteria identified by researchers in
psycholinguistics or language acquisition are increasingly taken into
account.

These formulas have also been used within web platforms, such as Read-X
(Miltsakaki, 2009) or REAP (Collins-Thompson and Callan, 2004), to help
readers find on the web documents matching their level. However, it is
sometimes the case that, for a given topic, there are no target
documents suitable for a specific user. In this context, automatic text
simplification has appeared as a possible way to make existing texts
accessible to poorer readers that would normally have trouble processing
them.

Automatic text simplification indeed aims at generating a simplified
version of an input text. Two main types of automatic simplification
methods can be distinguished : (i) lexical simplification, which aims at
replacing complex words or expressions with simpler synonyms or
paraphrases and (ii) syntactic simplification, which modifies the
structure of sentences, by deleting, moving or replacing difficult
syntactic structures. In recent years, methods for automatic
simplification have been largely influenced by other domains of NLP.
Lexical simplification, as it consists in finding a suitable synonym or
paraphrase for a complex expression, is closely related to the task of
lexical substitution, which, in turn, is related to Word Sense
Disambiguation (Specia et al., 2012). Statistical Machine Translation
methods have also influenced text simplification, as large comparable
corpora such as Wikipedia and the Simple English Wikipedia have become
available (Zhu et al., 2010 ; Wubben et al., 2012 ; ...).

This special issue will therefore address these two areas of increasing
importance, with a focus on systems informed by research on language
acquisition or used in the context of computer-assisted language
learning (CALL). To be more specific, all following contributions are
suitable for publication (the list is not exclusive):

   - readability formulas for L1 or for L2 including some NLP components
   - readability formulas taking into account some characteristics of a
     specific population of learners (such as readers with a given L1,
     etc.)
   - NLP approaches of text understandability.
   - lexical, syntactic, or semantic approaches of text simplification
     in the context of CALL.
   - contributions of readability to text simplification
   - tools or techniques providing a more detailed difficulty diagnosis
     for users (e.g. difficult words or syntactic structures).

All contributions should explicitly discuss how they relate to current
research in language acquisition, educational linguistics or
computer-assisted language learning.

WASSS description

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

This workshop will be especially the place where ?social emotions? will
be debated from different points of view, with different meanings
depending on the domain.

Title: Hidden Markov tree models for semantic class induction

Abstract: In this talk, I present a new method for semantic class
induction. First, I introduce a generative model of sentences, based on
dependency trees and which takes into account polysemy. This model can
be seen as a generalization of Brown clustering. Second, I describe an
efficient algorithm to perform inference and learning in this
model. Third, I show results obtained on two large datasets ($10^8$
tokens, $10^5$ words types), and demonstrate that classes induced by our
algorithm improve performance over Brown clustering on the tasks of
semi-supervised supersense tagging and named entity recognition.

Description:

Under the denomination "multiword expression", one assumes a wide range
of linguistic constructions such as idioms (storm in a teacup, sweep
under the rug), fixed phrases (in vitro, by and large, rock'n roll),
noun compounds (olive oil, laser printer), compound verbs (take a nap,
bring about), etc. While easily mastered by native speakers, their
interpretation poses a major challenge for computational systems, due to
their flexible and heterogeneous nature.

For starters, MWEs are not nearly as frequent in NLP resources as they
are in real-word text, and this problem of coverage may impact the
performance of many NLP tasks. Moreover, treating MWEs also involves
problems like determining their semantics, which is not always
compositional (to kick the bucket meaning to die). In sum, MWEs are a
key issue and a current weakness for natural language parsing and
generation, as well as real-life applications depending on language
technology, such as machine translation, just to name a prominent one
among many.

Thanks to the joint efforts of researchers from several fields working
on MWEs, significant progress has been made in recent years, especially
concerning the construction of large-scale language resources. For
instance, there is a large number of recent papers that focus on
acquisition of MWEs from corpora, and others that describe a variety of
techniques to find paraphrases for MWEs. Current methods use a plethora
of tools such as association measures, machine learning, syntactic
patterns, web queries, etc. A considerable body of techniques, resources
and tools to perform these tasks are now available, and are indicative
of the growing importance of the field within the NLP community.

Many of these advances are described as part of the annual workshop on
MWEs, that attracts the attention of an ever-growing community working
on a variety of languages and MWE types. The workshop has been held
since 2001 in conjunction with major computational linguistics
conferences (ACL, COLING, LREC and EACL), providing an important venue
for the community to interact, share resources and tools and collaborate
on efforts for advancing the computational treatment of
MWEs. Additionally, special issues on MWEs have been published by
leading journals in computational linguistics. The latest such effort is
the special issue on ?Multiword Expressions: from Theory to Practice and
Use?, currently under publication from the ACM Transactions on Speech
and Language Processing.

MWE 2013 will be the 9th event in the series. We will be interested in
major challenges in the overall process of MWE treatment, both from the
theoretical and the computational viewpoint, focusing on original
research related (but not limited) to the following topics:

- Manually and automatically constructed resources
- Representation of MWEs in dictionaries and ontologies
- MWEs in linguistic theories like HPSG, LFG and minimalism
- MWEs and user interaction
- Multilingual acquisition
- Multilingualism and MWE processing
- Models of first and second language acquisition of MWEs
- Crosslinguistic studies on MWEs
- The role of MWEs in the domain adaptation of parsers
- Integration of MWEs into NLP applications
- Evaluation of MWE treatment techniques
- Lexical, syntactic or semantic aspects of MWEs

The workshop is endorsed by ACL SIGLEX, the Special Interest Group on
the Lexicon of the Association for Computational Linguistics.

Offre de doctorat (contrat Cifre) : mod?lisation informatique de
l??volution des langues au moyen des grammaires de construction fluides

Description :

SONY CSL Paris (http://www.sonycsl.co.jp/lab/paris/) et le laboratoire
LATTICE (UMR8094, http://www.lattice.cnrs.fr/) souhaitent recruter un
doctorant en contrat Cifre
(http://www.anrt.asso.fr/fr/espace_cifre/accueil.jsp) sur le th?me
suivant : mod?lisation informatique de l??volution des langues au moyen
des grammaires de construction fluides (fluid construction grammars). La
th?se est soumise ? l'acceptation du dossier par l'ANRT.

Les grammaires de construction fluides sont des grammaires ? base de
structures typ?es r?versibles, permettant ? la fois l'analyse et la
g?n?ration.  Elles ont fait l'objet de nombreuses publications et ont
?t? appliqu?es avec succ?s pour mod?liser diff?rentes langues et
diff?rents ph?nom?nes linguistiques. Pour plus de d?tails, voir le site
Web d?di? : http://www.fcg-net.org/.

Un projet de recherche en cours vise ? mod?liser dans ce formalisme des
questions de linguistique historique, afin de mieux mettre en ?vidence
les param?tres en jeu dans l'?volution des langues. Certains ph?nom?nes
ont d?j? ?t? ?tudi?s dans ce cadre, comme par exemple l'?volution du
syst?me de cas en allemand (van Trijp, 2012) ou l'?tude des ph?nom?nes
d'accord (Beuls & Steels, 2013).

L'offre de th?se vise ? amplifier cet effort. Le candidat devra
impl?menter dans le cadre des grammaires de construction fluide un ou
des ph?nom?nes d'?volution linguistique qui pr?sentent un int?r?t
particulier sur le plan pratique ou th?orique (lien entre donn?es
linguistiques et formalisation ; ?volutions ?ventuelles du formalisme ;
mod?lisation du rythme de l'?volution linguistique, etc.).

Comp?tences requises :

Le candidat devra avoir des connaissances avanc?es en linguistique et en
informatique. Des comp?tences en linguistique diachronique seraient un
plus. La connaissance d'un langage de script (perl, python) et d'un
langage informatique (java, Prolog, Lisp) est n?cessaire.


D?roulement de la th?se :

La th?se sera co-encadr?e par Luc Steels (Sony CSL) et Thierry Poibeau
(LATTICE). Les deux laboratoires sont proches g?ographiquement, ce qui
permettra des ?changes r?guliers et un r?el co-encadrement afin de
couvrir au mieux les diff?rents aspects du sujet.


Comment candidater ?

Les ?tudiants int?ress?s sont invit?s ? se signaler et ? envoyer d?s que
possible un CV ? Thierry Poibeau (prenom.nom at ens.fr). Les ?l?ments
suivants seront ensuite demand?s : lettre de motivation, relev? de notes
et m?moire de Master. Nous souhaitons pouvoir s?lectionner un candidat
avant l'?t? 2013 mais le poste restera ouvert si aucune candidature
n'est retenue ? cette date.

R?sum? : L'extraction d'information non supervis?e en domaine ouvert est
une ?volution r?cente de l'extraction d'information adapt?e ? des
contextes dans lesquels le besoin informationnel est faiblement
sp?cifi?. Dans ce cadre, la th?se se concentre plus particuli?rement sur
l'extraction et le regroupement de relations entre entit?s en se donnant
la possibilit? de traiter des volumes importants de donn?es.

L'extraction de relations se fixe ici pour objectif de faire ?merger des
relations de type non pr?d?fini ? partir de textes. Elle est r?alis?e en
deux temps : des relations candidates sont d'abord extraites sur la base
de crit?res simples mais efficaces pour ?tre ensuite filtr?es selon des
crit?res plus avanc?s. Ce filtrage associe lui-m?me deux ?tapes: une
premi?re ?tape utilise des heuristiques pour ?liminer rapidement les
fausses relations en conservant un bon rappel tandis qu'une seconde
?tape se fonde sur des mod?les statistiques pour raffiner la s?lection
des relations candidates.

Le regroupement de relations a quant ? lui pour objectif d'organiser les
relations extraites pour en caract?riser le type et en offrir une vue
synth?tique. Il est r?alis? dans le cas pr?sent selon une strat?gie
multiniveau permettant de prendre en compte ? la fois un volume
important de relations et des crit?res de regroupement ?labor?s. Un
premier niveau de regroupement, dit de base, r?unit des relations
proches de par leur expression linguistique gr?ce ? une mesure de
similarit? vectorielle appliqu?e ? une repr?sentation de type
sac-de-mots pour former des clusters fortement homog?nes. Un second
niveau de regroupement est ensuite appliqu? pour traiter des ph?nom?nes
plus s?mantiques tels que la synonymie et la paraphrase et fusionner des
clusters de base recouvrant des relations ?quivalentes sur le plan
s?mantique. Ce second niveau s'appuie sur la d?finition de mesures de
similarit? au niveau des mots, des relations et des clusters de
relations en exploitant soit des ressources de type WordNet, soit des
th?saurus distributionnels. Un clustering des relations de nature
th?matique permet enfin d'am?liorer la pr?cision des clusters de
relations form?s en s'appuyant sur un contexte plus global.

La th?se aborde ?galement le probl?me de l'?valuation de l'extraction
d'information non supervis?e par l'entremise de mesures internes et
externes. Pour les mesures externes, une m?thode interactive est
propos?e pour construire manuellement un large ensemble de clusters de
r?f?rence. Son application sur un corpus journalistique de grande taille
a donn? lieu ? la construction d'une r?f?rence vis-?-vis de laquelle les
diff?rentes m?thodes de regroupement propos?es dans la th?se ont ?t?
?valu?es.

Mots-cl?s : Extraction d'information non supervis?e, extraction de

Abstract : Unsupervised information extraction in open domain gains more
and more importance recently by loosening the constraints on the strict
definition of the extracted information and allowing to design more open
information extraction systems. In this new domain of unsupervised
information extraction, this thesis focuses on the tasks of extraction
and clustering of relations between entities at a large scale.

The objective of relation extraction is to discover unknown relations
from texts. A relation prototype is first defined, with which candidates
of relation instances are initially extracted with a minimal
criterion. To guarantee the validity of the extracted relation
instances, a two-step filtering procedures is applied: the first step
with filtering heuristics to remove efficiently large amount of false
relations and the second step with statistical models to refine the
relation candidate selection.

The objective of relation clustering is to organize extracted relation
instances into clusters so that their relation types can be
characterized by the formed clusters and a synthetic view can be offered
to end-users. A multi-level clustering procedure is design, which allows
to take into account the massive data and diverse linguistic phenomena
at the same time. First, the basic clustering groups similar relation
instances by their linguistic expressions using only simple similarity
measures on a bag-of-word representation for relation instances to form
high- homogeneous basic clusters. Second, the semantic clustering aims
at grouping basic clusters whose relation instances share the same
semantic meaning, dealing with more particularly phenomena such as
synonymy or more complex paraphrase. Different similarities measures,
either based on resources such as WordNet or distributional thesaurus,
at the level of words, relation instances and basic clusters are
analyzed. Moreover, a topic-based relation clustering is proposed to
consider thematic information in relation clustering so that more
precise semantic clusters can be formed.

Finally, the thesis also tackles the problem of clustering evaluation in
the context of unsupervised information extraction, using both internal
and external measures. For the evaluations with external measures, an
interactive and efficient way of building reference of relation clusters
proposed. The application of this method on a newspaper corpus results
in a large reference, based on which different clustering methods are
evaluated.

Keywords: Unsupervised information extraction, relation extraction,
relation clustering, semantic similarity

Que faire des corpus (une fois) num?ris?s ? L'exemple du discours
litt?raire*

Thierry Charnois, Greyc, Universit? de Caen

Dominique Legallois, Crisco, Universit? de Caen

     La num?risation de corpus litt?raires, suivie parfois d'?dition en
ligne, ne s'inscrit pas uniquement dans une d?marche de sauvegarde ou de
valorisation du patrimoine : elle constitue avant tout une ?tape vers
une herm?neutique sachant mettre ? profit les donn?es issues d'analyses
diverses : concordances, co-occurrences, vocabulaire sp?cifique,
segments r?p?t?s, progression du vocabulaire, champs th?matiques et
lexicaux, etc. Ces donn?es peuvent ?tre d?termin?es ? partir de simples
fr?quences, ou par des m?thodes statistiques ?prouv?es par la
textom?trie ; elles peuvent ?tre mises en ?vidence par des logiciels
relativement peu ?labor?s (simples concordanciers), ou bien par des
outils plus complexes (plateformes textom?triques).

     C'est dans l'objectif de mieux faire conna?tre ? des non
sp?cialistes, des analyses possibles -- voire des mod?les d'analyse -
que le p?le pluridisciplinaire ? Document Num?rique ? de la MRSH de
l'Universit? de Caen organise une journ?e d'?tude sur l'interpr?tation
des donn?es textuelles litt?raires ; il s'agira donc de pr?senter
diff?rents travaux proposant des m?thodes d'investigation, mais aussi
des m?thodes interpr?tatives qui mettent en ?vidence tel ph?nom?ne, ou
qui contribuent ? valider ou invalider des hypoth?ses de recherche. Ces
?tudes auront le souci principal d'illustrer l'exploitation de donn?es
quantitatives et qualitatives ? des fins d'interpr?tation, ou d'analyse
stylistique, et de permettre aux non-sp?cialistes de s'approprier des
m?thodes pertinentes ou de mieux les comprendre.

     Le discours litt?raire est donn? comme objet d'?tude, mais les
m?thodes et exemples seront en partie transposables ? d'autres genres et
? d'autres disciplines des sciences humaines (histoire, sociologie,
philosophie, par exemple).

*Segments r?p?t?s et motifs, comme pratiques d'investigation et
d'analyse des textes litt?raires : l'exemple des Rougon-Macquart*

Nous proposons d'abord une illustration de l'analyse des textes
litt?raires par le biais de l'identification des segments r?p?t?s ; les
segments r?p?t?s (Salem 1987) sont des suites r?currentes de mots,
devenues facilement d?tectables par des outils simples (par exemple, le
concordancier Antconc). Appliqu?e ? la saga des Rougon-Macquart,
l'analyse par les segments r?p?t?s r?v?le un ph?nom?ne spectaculaire,
parfois aper?u par la critique, mais dont l'ampleur n'a jamais ?t?
mesur?e ni appr?ci?e : Zola use d'une strat?gie d'?criture fond?e sur la
r?p?tition de segments (allant du syntagme ? la phrase, mais aussi au
paragraphe), les segments pouvant ?tre s?par?s par plusieurs centaines
de pages. On note aussi quelques cas d'intertextualit? o? des segments
d'une oeuvre des Rougon sont repris dans une autre oeuvre. On proposera
une caract?risation g?n?rale de ces reprises.

Par ailleurs, la fouille de donn?es, qui est une discipline
informatique, utilise des m?thodes et outils pour identifier des
r?gularit?s dans les bases de donn?es de grande taille. Ces r?gularit?s
prennent la forme de /motifs/. On peut voir ces motifs comme une
extension des segments r?p?t?s (cf. aussi la communication de D.
Longr?e), la diff?rence principale ?tant que, contrairement aux segments
r?p?t?s, les ?l?ments constitutifs des motifs, ne sont pas
n?cessairement contigus, et peuvent porter aussi bien simultan?ment sur
des formes, des lemmes ou des cat?gories grammaticales. L'utilisation de
contraintes ou d'annotations dans les textes donne la possibilit?
d'orienter la fouille, et de faire ?merger divers types de motifs
linguistiques. On pr?sentera bri?vement ce paradigme de la fouille de
donn?es s?quentielles pour l'analyse des textes, et on l'illustrera par
une application aux Rougon-Macquart. Ainsi, des caract?ristiques
auctoriales ou g?n?riques peuvent-elles ?merger ? partir des
sp?cificit?s des motifs.


Dominique Longr?e, LASLA, ULg (Universit? de Li?ge)

*L'analyse des donn?es textuelles : au-del? du "sac de mots" (approches
topologiques et r?ticulaires) *

Depuis les ann?es 1950, les m?thodes d'analyse statistique des donn?es
textuelles ont permis de mieux d?crire et caract?riser la langue et le
style de documents tr?s vari?s (oeuvres litt?raires, discours
politiques, articles de journaux, enqu?tes orales, etc.). Celles les
plus couramment utilis?es aujourd'hui reposent essentiellement sur des
d?nombrements d'occurrences de formes, de lemmes, de cat?gories
grammaticales au sein des divers textes. Ces d?nombrements permettent
d'obtenir des tableaux chiffr?s (tableaux de contingence) auxquels on
fait subir un certain nombre de tests ?prouv?s (test de Pearson ou du
Chi2, ?cart r?duit, analyse factorielle des correspondances, analyse
arbor?e...). Ces m?thodes ont donn? d'excellents r?sultats et permettent
g?n?ralement de mieux ?valuer les distances entre textes selon le genre,
l'?poque, l'auteur... Elles se sont toutefois assez rapidement heurt?es
au fait qu'un texte n'est pas un sac dans lequel seraient rassembl?es en
vrac ses unit?s constitutives (par exemple, ce n'est pas parce que deux
textes contiennent la m?me proportion d'occurrences d'imparfait par
rapport aux autres temps verbaux que l'imparfait y est utilis? de la
m?me mani?re). Les approches topologiques et r?ticulaires permettent
heureusement de mieux prendre en compte le texte comme un espace
ordonn?. Ainsi, la notion de ? motif ?, introduite r?cemment, fournit un
outil permettant d'?tudier des objets complexes form?s par des
associations r?currentes et ordonn?es d'?l?ments du texte muni de sa
structure lin?aire. L'examen des cooccurrences, notamment des
cooccurrences g?n?ralis?es, met en ?vidence l'existence de r?seaux
structurant les textes. A partir de quelques exemples concrets, on
illustrera comment ces nouveaux outils peuvent servir ? mieux
caract?riser des genres, des modes d'expression ou des styles.

Michel Bernard, Universit? Sorbonne-Nouvelle (Paris 3)

*Traitement lexicom?trique d'un dossier g?n?tique : Bouvard et P?cuchet*

Gr?ce ? la num?risation des manuscrits de /Bouvard et P?cuchet/ mise en
ligne par le C?R?dI de l'universit? de Rouen, il est possible de
pratiquer sur cet ?pais dossier g?n?tique des ?tudes de statistique
lexicale. Travailler sur un texte manuscrit, corrig?, ratur?, ins?r?
impose ?videmment des pr?cautions m?thodologiques mais permet de
travailler sur des cat?gories nouvelles en lexicom?trie. Il est ainsi
possible de r?pondre ? des questions qui portent sur la /mani?re /de
l'?crivain : quels sont les mots qu'il rature le plus souvent ? Ceux
qu'il ins?re, qu'il ?lague entre le manuscrit et sa mise au propre ? Les
premiers r?sultats de ce travail ont d?j? ?t? pr?sent?s aux flaubertiens
; il s'agira ici d'insister plut?t sur la m?thodologie du traitement
lexicom?trique d'un corpus g?n?tique, et de r?fl?chir ? la possibilit?
de l'appliquer ? d'autres dossiers

V?ronique Magri, Universit? de Nice, UMR 7320 : Bases, Corpus, Langage

*Contraster deux corpus narratifs : distinctions formelles et g?n?riques
entre r?cits fictionnels et r?cits factuels (r?cits de voyage)*

Le travail pr?sente une analyse diff?rentielle et contrastive de deux
corpus narratifs du XIXe si?cle. L'un ? vocation fictionnelle, l'autre ?
vis?e factuelle, le r?cit de voyage. L'enjeu est de parvenir ? ?tablir
des distinctions formelles g?n?riques, par le biais du logiciel
d'analyse hypertextuelle, Hyperbase. Le corpus d'?tude regroupe douze
bin?mes d'oeuvres d'?crivains, un r?cit de fiction d'une part, un r?cit
de voyage d'autre part. L'outil statistique aidera ? d?gager en
particulier une po?tique du r?cit de voyage, entendue comme l'?tude de
l'?change permanent entre les structures formelles de la langue et
l'interpr?tation ? leur donner.

B?n?dicte Pincemin, Universit? de Lyon 2, ICAR

*Fonctionnalit?s textom?triques pour l'analyse litt?raire : possibilit?s
offertes par le logiciel libre TXM*

En restant toujours au plus proche du texte tout en ouvrant de nouveaux
types de lecture et de nouvelles pistes interpr?tatives, la textom?trie
int?resse les chercheurs en sciences humaines pour ?tudier
m?thodiquement leurs corpus num?riques. D'autre part, TXM est un
logiciel r?cent (adapt? ? l'?tat de l'art des corpus, potentiellement
structur?s et enrichis) et accessible (logiciel libre, multiplateformes
-windows, mac, linux-, avec une interface conviviale). Cette
pr?sentation mettra en relation des fonctionnalit?s du logiciel et leur
usage possible en contexte litt?raire. L'accent pourra ?tre mis sur des
apports originaux de TXM : structuration et restructuration des corpus,
travail simultan?ment sur de multiples niveaux de description, souplesse
des concordances, caract?risation distributionnelle d'un mot ou d'une
construction, rep?rage et quantification de traits stylistiques.

R?sum? :

Dans cette th?se, nous abordons la question de la construction d'une
"alg?bre" des relations de discours (ou relations rh?toriques) ? en
s'inspirant des alg?bres temporelles comme celle de Allen (1983) ?
constitu?e d'un ensemble de r?gles de d?duction de relations de
discours.  Disposer de telles r?gles pr?sente un int?r?t dans plusieurs
t?ches reli?es ? l'analyse automatique du discours : cela peut permettre
de d?duire des informations implicitement contenues dans des annotations
discursives (manuelles ou automatiques), soit dans le but d'aider
l'annotation (en pr?disant des relations ou en d?tectant des
incoh?rences), soit dans le but de comparer plusieurs annotations d'un
m?me discours (dans le cadre de la construction de corpus ou dans le
cadre de l'?valuation de syst?mes d'analyse automatique). Or, les
th?ories d'analyse du discours ne d?finissent pas (ou peu) de r?gles de
ce type. La th?se se concentre donc sur cette question.

Dans un premier temps, nous abordons l'ensemble des questions soulev?es
par la construction d'une alg?bre des relations de discours, qui
concernent essentiellement les propri?t?s des structures discursives,
des relations de discours, et de l'ensemble des relations de
discours. Apr?s avoir d?fini l'ensemble de relations utilis?, nous
restreignons notre ?tude ? des discours constitu?s de trois unit?s
discursives ?l?mentaires, pour lesquels nous proposons une m?thodologie
de construction des r?gles. Cette m?thodologie vise ? identifier, en
partant d'une pr?misse de r?gle contenant deux relations *R1(a,b)* et
*R2(b,c)*, l'ensemble des relations pouvant ?tre ?tablies entre *a* et
*c*. Elle allie l'examen des contraintes s?mantiques ?tablies par les
relations en jeu, qui sont formalis?es dans des travaux comme ceux de la
SDRT (Asher, 2003), l'analyse de donn?es construites, et l'analyse de
donn?es empiriques. Ces donn?es empiriques sont extraites
automatiquement en s'appuyant sur la pr?sence de connecteurs de discours
signalant les relations. Pour l'analyse des donn?es contenant deux
relations *R1(a,b)* et *R2(b,c)*, plusieurs tests linguistiques sont
utilis?s pour d?terminer si les unit?s *a* et *c* sont reli?es
rh?toriquement, et si oui, par quelle relation. Enfin, cette
m?thodologie est d?clin?e sur un ensemble de pr?misses mettant en jeu
des interactions entre diff?rents "groupes" de relations : l'interaction
entre relations temporelles et causales, l'interaction entre relations
causales et adversatives, et l'interaction entre relations causales.

Proposition de th?se en TAL/informatique

Lieu: Grenoble, France

D?but: Octobre 2013

Dur?e: 3 ans

Financement: R?gion Rh?ne-Alpes, ARC ? TIC et usages informatiques
innovants ?, 1680 euros brut par mois

Titre: Communiquer par SMS : Analyse automatique du langage et
extraction de l?information v?hicul?e.

Directeurs: Georges Antoniadis (laboratoire LIDILEM, Grenoble) -
Matthieu Quignard (laboratoire ICAR, Lyon)

Depuis le 3 d?cembre 1992, date d?envoi du premier SMS (Short Message
Service) par Neil Papworth, employ? d?une soci?t? informatique
britannique, ce mode de communication est devenu rapidement courant et
familier pour une tr?s grande partie de la population mondiale. En 2011,
plus de 4000 milliards de SMS auraient ?t? envoy?s dans le monde. En
France, l?utilisation du SMS est en forte progression les 10 derni?res
ann?es : 3,5 milliards de SMS envoy?s en 2001, 147,2 milliards en 2011,
et 89,8 milliards pour les 6 premiers mois de 2012 (F?d?ration Fran?aise
des T?l?coms, http://www.fftelecoms.org).

L?objectif de cette th?se est d??tudier le langage SMS fran?ais et de
construire un syst?me pour l?extraction automatique des informations
contenues dans les SMS. L??laboration d?un tel syst?me passe par la
d?finition et la mise en ?uvre des m?thodes et proc?dures issues du
traitement automatique des langues (TAL). Le point de d?part sera
l??tude et l?exploitation du corpus de 22000 SMS r?els, collect?s dans
les Alpes, avec l?aide du Conseil G?n?ral des Hautes-Alpes.

Le projet prend appui sur les connaissances et outils du laboratoire
LIDILEM de Grenoble concernant la conception et l?exploitation de corpus
langagiers ainsi que de syst?mes pour le traitement automatique des
langues et ses applications, en particulier l?extraction
d?informations. Dans le cadre de cette th?se ils seront coupl?s avec
l?expertise du laboratoire ICAR concernant l??tude et l?exploitation du
contenu des corpus langagiers. Le P?le Innovation Viseo de l?entreprise
Objet Direct de Grenoble, et sa responsable Mme Fr?d?rique SEGOND, est
partenaire du projet ; il apportera son expertise en g?nie logiciel et
TAL, et s?int?resse aux applications de l?outil d?extraction
d?informations contenues dans les SMS.

Description du sujet:

Une op?ration de collecte de SMS dans les Alpes, organis?e dans le cadre
du projet sms4science et avec l?appui du Conseil G?n?ral des
Hautes-Alpes, a permis de constituer un corpus de 22000 SMS r?els. Les
SMS collect?s ont ?t? anonymis?s et transcrits en fran?ais.

Le sujet propos? a comme point de d?part l?exploitation des donn?es de
ce corpus.

L?objectif vis? par cette th?se est double :

a) Etudier la structure du langage SMS fran?ais et ?laborer un analyseur
   capable d?enrichir automatiquement le texte des SMS par des
   informations morphosyntaxiques et s?mantiques, associ?es.

b) Elaborer une m?thodologie et un syst?me pour l?extraction des
   informations pertinentes contenues dans les SMS.

La m?thodologie ? mettre en ?uvre pour le premier objectif, prend appui
sur la probl?matique du traitement automatique des langues, ses
proc?dures et ses techniques. Elles doivent n?anmoins ?tre adapt?es pour
la structuration particuli?re du langage SMS, et ?tre optimis?es en ce
sens. Les r?sultats attendus pourront ?tre utilis?s pour bon nombre
d?applications embarqu?es li?es ? l??criture, la lecture et la gestion
des messages SMS.

L?extraction des informations pertinentes port?es par les SMS, devrait
s?appuyer sur les r?sultats du premier objectif et exp?rimenter les
m?thodes et proc?dures propres au domaine de la recherche
d?informations. L??cueil scientifique en ce sens a trait ? la taille
r?duite des SMS, ce qui rend difficile a priori la mise en ?uvre de
m?thodes purement statistiques.

L??valuation des syst?mes d?velopp?s doit se faire avec les autres
partenaires du projet sms4science disposant d?un corpus de SMS r?els.

Par essence, le probl?me ? traiter demande une approche et une d?marche
pluridisciplinaires. La d?marche de travail envisag?e s?appuie sur une
coop?ration multidisciplinaire (codirection de la th?se par des
chercheurs en informatique (traitement automatique des langues,
extraction d?informations) et science du langage (structuration et
formalisation de la langue, ?tude et exploitation de corpus
langagiers). Elle est multi-sites (les ?quipes de recherche ?tant
r?parties sur Lyon et Grenoble) et int?gre la participation active du
P?le Innovation Viseo de l?entreprise Objet Direct (Grenoble) qui est
int?ress? par les applications de l?extraction d?informations contenues
dans les SMS, et qui apporte son expertise en traitement automatique des
langues et g?nie logiciel.

Sur le plan de la conception du syst?me d?analyse automatique du langage
des SMS, plusieurs applications sont envisageables : syst?mes de
r?duction/expansion des SMS, de transcription et de phon?tisation des
SMS, syst?mes de collecte et de diffusion d?informations, etc. Sur le
plan d?extraction d?informations des SMS, diverses utilisations sont
envisageables dans tout ?change entre les particuliers et les
entreprises ou les administrations.

Profil du candidat:

Le candidat doit ?tre titulaire d'un Master en informatique - traitement
automatique des langues ou ?quivalent. Ma?trise de la langue fran?aise
et anglaise.

Contexte:

Cette th?se interdisciplinaire sera r?alis?e sur deux laboratoires :
LIDILEM (Linguistique et Didactique des Langues Etrang?res et
Maternelles, EA 609, universit? Stendhal de Grenoble,
http://w3.u-grenoble3.fr/lidilem/) et ICAR (Interactions, Corpus,
Apprentissages, Repr?sentations, UMR 5191 CNRS, Lyon,
http://icar.univ-lyon2.fr/), avec l?appui du P?le Innovation Viseo
(Grenoble, http://www.viseo.net/).

Titre : Les manifestations du pouvoir dans le discours

R?sum? : Les interventions dans un dialogue sont influenc?es par
beaucoup de facteurs.  Le pouvoir qu'un participant au discours peut
exercer sur un autre (ou plusieurs autres) est un facteur
extra-linguistique important qui limite la mani?re dont peuvent
intervenir et r?pondre les participants au discours.  Je d?finis quatre
types de pouvoir (le pouvoir hi?rarchique, le pouvoir situationnel, le
pouvoir discursif, et l'influence), et je montre comment ces quatre
types de pouvoir sont manifest?s dans le dialogue.  Les observations
empiriques sont bas?es sur le corpus de courriel Enron.

International Workshop

Conflict and communication.

Multimodal Social Signals of conflict and negotiation in humans,
animals, and machines

When in an environment resources are limited, and two or more humans or
other animals need the same resource, its attainment by one is
incompatible with the attainment by the other: thus conflict arises.

Conflict may simply hold between two or more beliefs (cognitive
conflict), or between goals of the same person or animal
(intraindividual conflict), or finally between the goals of two or more
individuals or groups (interpersonal and social conflict).  In all cases
conflict may cause internal turmoil or social aggression, and yet
sometimes may also be a carrier of positive novelty and change.

This workshop focuses on interpersonal and social conflict, and on the
communication that may arise from it, but also give rise to it, or
finally determine conflict escalation or resolution.

Since such a complex topic as conflict needs to be confronted by a high
level of multidisciplinarity, we encourage contributions from various
fields, among which:

Psychology, Ethology, Political Sciences, Neuroscience, Linguistics,
Argumentation, Social Simulation, Robotics, Social Signal processing,
Swarm intelligence?.

Some core topics in the workshop, and their leading questions, are the
following:

*Theoretical issues in conflict*

What is conflict, and what is the boundary between competition and
conflict?

Are all cases of aggression determined by conflict, and does conflict
always lead to aggression? What are the mechanisms and triggering rules
of escalation and what are those of negotiation?

Sometimes conflicts are not explicit or evident, but rather deep,
underground, covert. What are the signals of overt and covert conflicts?

What are the routes of conflict? Is conflict primary (only stemming from
context, bare competition over resources) or sometimes secondary to
emotions (for instance might one start to raise conflict with another
only due to personality clash)?

What are the dynamics of conflict?

Some theories propose that social hierarchies and leadership arise right
with the function of minimizing conflicts. Is this (always) true? Are
there types of social organization or leadership more apt than others to
prevent conflict? What could / should be changed in an organization to
lower the number and level of conflicts?

Do the ways people and animals sense and manage conflict and its
escalation and resolution change across ontogenetic and phylogenetic
evolution, and if so, how do they?

Are there neurological bases to the capacity of sensing and managing
social conflict?

*Social signals and multimodality *

How is conflict expressed in communicative interaction between humans?
How do the various types of conflict differ from each other, for
example, discussion, argument, quarrel, contest? Do different rules
apply to them?

One of the main communicative forms triggered by conflict is
argumentation.  Can we distinguish more and less conflictual
argumentations?

What are the signals that reveal the existence of conflict, escalation,
de-escalation, negotiation, smoothing?

What are the signals of conflict between non-human animals? Are there
signals shared by human and non-human animals?

Conflictual communication may be studied in various modalities. In the
acoustic modalities, what are the characterizing features of voice or
noise in conflict? Can conflict be expressed by music? Are some types of
intonation more typically used during conflict? Are there speech acts or
other communicative acts typical of conflict, such as accusation,
criticism, insult? How is conflict expressed in the structure of
turn-taking and floor management? Are there cues of conflict in
intonation and voice quality?

In the visual modalities, what are the gestures, postures, gaze items
and facial expressions typically used in conflict? Can conflict be
expressed by art, graphics and other visual artifacts?

*Ethical issues, deception and non-cooperative communication in
 conflict*

Is there an ethics of conflict? Are there moral rules for negotiation or
reconciliation? Are there cases in which conflict cannot be avoided, or
negotiation should be skipped, due to ethical reasons? Does negotiation
often entail deception?

What are the effects of truthful and deceitful communication on
conflict?  Is deception exploited to avoid conflict or is it a major
cause of conflict? Sometimes sincere communication, by making the
conflict explicit, may contribute to exacerbate it, so people may try to
avoid sincerity or use hypocrisy or vagueness to prevent conflict; but
on the other hand, if one lets conflict emerge, might this contribute,
and in what cases and ways, to clarify positions, look for agreement,
and start negotiation?

What is the relation of conflict with truthful and deceitful
communication in animals? Generally animals tend to use deception more
to prevent conflict than to find a way out of it ? see the function of
bluff and other deceitful displays ? but is this always and necessary
so?

*Emotions and conflict*

What emotions are generally a cause of conflict, and what are the most
typical effects of it? How are they expressed with or without a
conflictual interaction? How can trust, envy, admiration, pride,
compassion or other emotions prevent, trigger, enhance, smooth conflict?
How can their sincere or simulated expression work in conflict
management? What is the role of empathy and other affective states in
negotiation and reconciliation?

*Simulation, analysis and synthesis of conflict*

Is it possible to build systems for the automatic detection of conflict,
both bottom up ? by detecting signals of conflict ? and top-down ? by
analyzing contexts and inferring their likeliness for conflict
generation?  Is it possible to construct a synthetic ?negotiation
counselor?? How can automatic argumentative systems be adapted to
conflict prevention or resolution? How can the simulation of conflict in
robots and neural systems give hints for the prevention and managing of
conflict in humans?

Apologies for cross-posting,

Submissions are invited to the 3rd IEEE ICDM Workshop on Sentiment
Elicitation from Natural Text for Information Retrieval and Extraction
(SENTIRE) to be held at ICDM13 on December 8th in Dallas, Texas.

RATIONALE
Memory and data capacities double approximately every two years and,
apparently, the Web is following the same rule. User-generated contents,
in particular, are an ever-growing source of opinion and sentiments
which are continuously spread worldwide through blogs, wikis, fora,
chats and social networks. The distillation of knowledge from such
sources is a key factor for applications in fields such as commerce,
tourism, education and health, but the quantity and the nature of the
contents they generate make it a very difficult task. Due to such
challenging research problems and wide variety of practical
applications, opinion mining and sentiment analysis have become very
active research areas in the last decade. Our understanding and
knowledge of the problem and its solution are still limited as natural
language understanding techniques are still pretty weak. Most of current
research in sentiment analysis, in fact, merely relies on machine
learning algorithms. Such algorithms, despite most of them being very
effective, produce no human understandable results such that we know
little about how and why output values are obtained. All such
approaches, moreover, rely on syntactical structure of text, which is
far from the way human mind processes natural language. Next-generation
opinion mining systems should employ techniques capable to better grasp
the conceptual rules that govern sentiment and the clues that can convey
these concepts from realization to verbalization in the human mind.

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

- Sentiment identification & classification
- Opinion and sentiment summarization & visualization
- Explicit & latent semantic analysis for sentiment mining
- Concept-level opinion and sentiment analysis
- Sentic computing
- Opinion and sentiment search & retrieval
- Time evolving opinion & sentiment analysis
- Semantic multidimensional scaling for sentiment analysis
- Multidomain & cross-domain evaluation
- Domain adaptation for sentiment classification
- Multimodal sentiment analysis
- Multimodal fusion for continuous interpretation of semantics
- Multilingual sentiment analysis & re-use of knowledge bases
- Knowledge base construction & integration with opinion analysis
- Transfer learning of opinion & sentiment with knowledge bases
- Sentiment corpora & annotation
- Affective knowledge acquisition for sentiment analysis
- Biologically inspired opinion mining
- Sentiment topic detection & trend discovery
- Big social data analysis
- Social ranking
- Social network analysis
- Social media marketing
- Comparative opinion analysis
- Opinion spam detection

TIMEFRAME
- August 3rd, 2013: Submission deadline
- September 24th, 2013: Notification of acceptance
- October 15th, 2013: Final manuscripts due
- December 8th, 2013: Workshop date

SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS
Authors are required to follow IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings
Author Guidelines. The paper length is limited to 10 pages, including
references, diagrams, and appendices, if any. Each submitted paper will
be evaluated by three PC members with respect to its novelty,
significance, technical soundness, presentation, and
experiments. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE ICDM
proceedings. Selected, expanded versions of papers presented at the
workshop will be invited to a forthcoming Special Issue of Cognitive
Computation on opinion mining and sentiment analysis.

SPEAKER
Carlo Strapparava is a senior researcher at FBK-irst (Fondazione Bruno
Kessler - Istituto per la ricerca scientifica e Tecnologica) in the
Human Language Technologies Unit. His research activity covers
artificial intelligence, natural language processing, intelligent
interfaces, human-computer interaction, cognitive science,
knowledge-based systems, user models, adaptive hypermedia, lexical
knowledge bases, word-sense disambiguation, affective computing and
computational humour. He is the author of over 150 papers, published in
scientific journals, book chapters and in conference proceedings. He
played a key role in the definition and the development of many projects
funded by European research programmes. He regularly serves in the
program committees of the major NLP conferences (ACL, EMNLP, etc.). He
was executive board member of SIGLEX, a Special Interest Group on the
Lexicon of the Association for Computational Linguistics (2007-2010),
Senseval (Evaluation Exercises for the Semantic Analysis of Text)
organisation committee (2005-2010). On June 2011, he was awarded with a
Google Research Award on Natural Language Processing, specifically on
the computational treatment of creative language.

KEYNOTE
Dealing with creative language and in particular with affective,
persuasive and even humorous language has often been considered outside
the scope of computational linguistics. Nonetheless it is possible to
exploit current NLP techniques starting some explorations about it. We
briefly review some computational experiences about these genres. We
will introduce techniques for dealing with emotional and witty
language. Regarding persuasive language, we will explore the
exploitation of extra-linguistic features (e.g. an audience-reaction
tagged corpus of political speeches), for the analysis of discourse
persuasiveness, We conclude the talk showing some explorations in the
automatic recognition of deceptive language.

Labex EFL: http://www.labex-efl.org 



Description d?taill?e de l'offre:
 
L'analyse quantitative des syst?mes flexionnels a fait l'objet d'un
int?r?t renouvel? dans la p?riode r?cente. Deux facteurs limitent la
port?e des travaux existants dans ce domaine ?mergent : (i) la
focalisation sur un petit ensemble de langues g?n?tiquement proches ;
(ii) le manque de mesures quantitatives qui prennent en compte le
caract?re multifactoriel de la complexit? des syst?mes flexionnels.
 
Le Labex Fondements empiriques de la linguistique (EFL) offre une
occasion unique de s'attaquer ? ces difficult?s. Regroupant 13 ?quipes
de recherches de la r?gion parisienne, le Labex EFL comporte ? la fois
des sp?cialistes d'un vaste ensemble de langues typologiquement diverses
et des sp?cialistes de linguistique th?orique, de linguistique
informatique, et de psycholinguistique.
 
Le postdoctorant rejoindra un groupe interdisciplinaire d'une dizaine de
chercheurs du Labex EFL qui travaillent ensemble ? la conception, ?
l'utilisation et ? l'?valuation de mesures quantitatives de divers
aspects de la complexit? des syst?mes flexionnels. Un objectif de plus
long terme est d'?valuer exp?rimentalement l'impact de la complexit? des
syst?mes flexionnels.
 
Les t?ches du postdoctorant comprendront :
 
? la s?lection ou la conception de ressources linguistiques sur un
  ?chantillon de langues typologiquement vari?es, en vue de l'?valuation
  de la complexit? de leurs syst?mes flexionnels ;
? l'?valuation de l'applicabilit? et de la pertinence de mesures
  quantitatives existantes ? cet ?chantillon de langues ;
? une contribution ? la conception et ? l'impl?mentation de nouvelles
  mesures quantitatives pour des aspects des syst?mes flexionnels qui
  n'ont pas ?t? explor?s dans les travaux pr?c?dents.
 
Le candidat id?al serait un linguiste ou un linguiste informaticien
pratiquant les th?ories morphologiques contemporaines, ayant une
connaissance avanc?e de la typologie linguistique et des m?thodes de
terrain, et ayant d?j? une exp?rience de l'application de m?thodes
quantitatives ? des donn?es linguistiques extensives. Peu de candidats
potentiels correspondent ? ce profil id?al, et les candidatures qui n'y
correspondent que partiellement seront donc prises en consid?ration.
 
Il n'y a pas de domaine linguistique pr?d?fini pour le travail du
postdoctorant. Le groupe de chercheurs qu'il int?grera est comp?tent, et
poss?de des ressources, sur les langues germaniques, iraniennes,
romanes, afro-asiatiques, finno-ougriennes, et sud-caucasiques, sur les
langues m?so-am?ricaines (avec un accent particulier sur le phylum
oto-mangue), et sur les langues cr?oles. Un des objectifs du projet est
d'am?liorer la compr?hension des syst?mes flexionnels de ces langues,
mais un candidat qui apporterait une expertise pertinente sur une langue
ou une famille n'appartenant pas ? cette liste serait tout ? fait
bienvenu.
 
Le postdoctorant aura ?galement la possibilit? de participer aux autres
activit?s du Labex EFL et rejoindra une communaut? active ayant un
int?r?t commun pour les approches empiriques, quantitatives et
exp?rimentales en linguistique.

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

            Appel ? communications pour un num?ro sp?cial de
          la Revue des Nouvelles Technologies de l'Information


                         FOUILLE DE DONNEES et
                          HUMANITES NUMERIQUES

Coordinateur: Nicolas Turenne

Date limite de soumission : 30 septembre 2013

Objectifs : 
===========

Le but de ce num?ro sp?cial est de regrouper des articles de chercheurs
acad?miques et industriels autour de la th?matique de l'extraction de
connaissances en interface avec les humanit?s num?riques. Il s'agit ? la
fois de travaux de recherche aboutis donnant une id?e des avanc?es
actuelles mais ?galement de travaux de recherche en cours li?s au
traitement informatique des donn?es ?tudi?es par les disciplines SHS
(sciences de l'homme et de la soci?t?). Si la rencontre de
l'informatique et des SHS n'est pas nouvelle, le contexte actuel li? au
faible co?t du mat?riel et de la profusion des donn?es lui donne une
autre dimension. Les articles de synth?se sont ?galement les bienvenus.

Soumission et dates importantes : 
=================================

Les articles sont r?dig?s en Fran?ais (exceptionnellement en Anglais
pour les non-francophones) en utilisant le style de la revue RNTI avec
une pr?f?rence forte pour LaTeX (formats de r?daction .doc et .rtf
accept?s). Ils sont soumis au format PDF. Les textes devront contenir
entre 3000 et 8000 mots.

Les dates importantes sont les suivantes : 

R?ception des articles : 30 septembre 2013  
Notification aux auteurs : 14 novembre 2013  
Versions finales : 4 d?cembre 2013  
Parution : janvier 2014  

Nous vous invitons ? soumettre votre article via le lien :

d'erreur envoyer un email ? nturenne.inra at yahoo.fr)


Th?matique :
============
Nous sommes spectateurs et acteurs d'un tournant soci?tal qui est admis
aujourd'hui, c'est le ?tournant du num?rique? transformant
l'environnement politique, ?conomique et culturel
contemporain. L'implication de cette contribution du num?rique ? nos
soci?t?s tend ? fabriquer des espaces de donn?es de plus en plus
importants n?cessitant ? cet endroit des traitements sp?cifiques. Les
disciplines SHS qui placent l'homme au coeur des questionnements ont
jusque l? peu profit? des m?thodes traitant des ensembles de donn?es
num?riques et du potentiel de transformation de ce tournant. Quelles
nouvelles questions peuvent se poser sur de nouvelles donn?es, selon
quels modes d'archivage, avec quels algorithmes de recherche
d'information utile ? dans une botte de documents ? ? Pour ne citer que
deux exemples, les humanit?s num?riques s'invitent d?j? en sociologie,
qui aborde la d?mocratie d'opinion dans les r?seaux sociaux, et en
histoire o? la lecture num?rique change l'acc?s ? la mat?rialit? du
pass?.

Dans ce num?ro sp?cial de RNTI ?Extraction de Connaissances et Humanit?s
Num?riques?, nous cherchons des travaux qui d?crivent des d?fis et des
d?bats sur des questions ?mergeantes du monde num?rique naissant, aussi
bien que des travaux qui montrent avec ses m?thodes et ses conclusions
les types de m?thodologie qui peuvent ?tre le mieux mobilis?s, ou
doivent exclusivement ?tre mobilis?s, dans son sillage. Les
contributions ne doivent pas se limiter ? la d?monstration des avantages
et limites d'acc?s ? certaines bases de donn?es mais ?voquer comment de
nouvelles formes d'informations produisent de nouvelles fa?ons de penser
aussi bien du point de vue de l'extraction des connaissances que des
disciplines de SHS.

Nous invitons les contributeurs ? consid?rer le large spectre des
m?thodes et des usages dans des projets ?mergeants et existants,
incluant l'extraction des connaissances, l'archivage distribu?,
l'interop?rabilit?, la visualisation des connaissances, la linguistique
de corpus, les syst?mes d'information g?ographiques...

Les donn?es seront issues du monde des sciences de l'homme et de la
soci?t? (SHS) : culturelles, litt?raires, philosophiques, ?conomiques,
psychologiques, sociologiques, d'opinions, ethnologiques,
d?mographiques, g?ographiques, historiques, musicologiques,
arch?ologiques, architecturales, juridiques, th?ologiques,
p?dagogiques...

--FCA4AI-- 
``What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?'' 
(Second Edition) 
co-located with IJCAI 2013 

August 3-5, 2013 

Beijing, China 

http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru 

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

General 

The first edition of the FCA4AI Workshop at ECAI 2012 in Montpellier
showed that many researchers working in Artificial Intelligence are
indeed interested by a powerful method for classification and mining
such as Formal Concept Analysis (http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-939/). We have
the chance to organize a new edition of the workshop in Beijing at the
IJCAI 2013 Conference.

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory
aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a
concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications) which can be
used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge processing involving learning,
knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology
engineering, and as well as information retrieval and text processing.
Thus, there exist many ``natural links'' between FCA and AI.

Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around
FCA, in particular a strand of work emerged that is aimed at extending
the possibilities of FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing, such as work on
pattern structures and relational context analysis. These extensions are
aimed at allowing FCA to deal with more complex than just binary data,
both from the data analysis and knowledge discovery point of view and
from the knowledge representation point of view, including, e.g.,
ontology engineering.
All these works extend the capabilities of FCA and offer new
possibilities for AI activities in the framework of FCA.

Accordingly, in this workshop, we will be interested in two main issues: 

- How can FCA support AI activities such as knowledge processing
  (knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning),
  learning (clustering, pattern and data mining), natural language
  processing, information retrieval.

- How can FCA be extended in order to help AI researchers to solve new
  and complex problems in their domain.

The workshop is dedicated to discuss such issues. 

INVITED SPEAKER 
TBA 

TOPICS OF INTEREST include but are not limited to: 

- Concept lattices and related structures: description logics, pattern
  structures, relational structures.

- Knowledge discovery and data mining with FCA: association rules,
  itemsets and data dependencies, attribute implications, data
  pre-processing, redundancy and dimensionality reduction,
  classification and clustering.

- Knowledge engineering and ontology engineering: knowledge
  representation and reasoning.

- Scalable algorithms for concept lattices and artificial intelligence
  ``in the large'' (distributed aspects, big data).

- Applications of concept lattices: semantic web, information retrieval,
  visualization and navigation, pattern recognition.

The workshop will include time for audience discussion for having a
better understanding of the issues, challenges, and ideas being
presented.

IMPORTANT DATES: 

Submission deadline: May 13, 2013 (**** extended until June 3rd ****) 
Notification to authors: June 24, 2013 
Final version: July 08, 2013

Colleagues,

We invite you to join us in Grenoble for the 4th annual workshop on
Speech and Language Processing for Assistive Technologies. This 2-day
workshop will combine research in speech and language technology that
assists people with physical, cognitive, sensory, emotional, or
developmental disabilities. This year we are introducing a special topic
-- Smart Homes and ambient intelligent technology applied to
augmentative communication. The program committee is now online at
http://www.slpat.org/slpat2013/people.html.

It is our pleasure to announce that Professor Mark Hawley will be
delivering an Invited Lecture on the first day of the workshop. Mark
Hawley is Professor of Health Services Research at the University of
Sheffield, UK, where he leads the Rehabilitation and Assistive
Technology Research Group. He is also Honorary Consultant Clinical

Clinical Engineering. Over the last 20 years, he has worked as a
clinician and researcher -- providing, researching, developing and
evaluating assistive technology, telehealth and telecare products, and
services for disabled people, older people, and people with long-term
conditions.

This year's workshop will include a tour of a smart home at the
Laboratoire d'Informatique de Grenoble. This smart home is an
environment for researchers working on smart spaces and ambient
intelligence. DOMUS is a 40 sq. metre apartment composed of typical
rooms (e.g., office, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen with dining area)
and furnishings. The entire apartment is fitted with sensors and
actuators and is controlled by a home automation system.

- Linguistic resources; corpora and annotation schemes

- Evaluation of systems and components, including methodology

- Anything included in this year's special topic

- Other topics in Augmentative and Alternative Communication

The special topic this year is smart homes and intelligent companions.
Subtopics include:

- Automatic Speech recognition in distant or multi-source environments

- Understanding, modelling or recognition of aged speech

- Speech analysis in the case of elderly with impairments, early
  recognition of speech capability loss

- Multimodal speech recognition (context-aware ASR)

- Multimodal emotion recognition

- Applications of speech technology (ASR, dialogue, synthesis) for
  ambient assisted living

This year, SLPAT will be co-located with the 1st Workshop on Affective
Social Speech Signals (WASSS, http://wasss-2013.imag.fr/), which takes
place on 22 and 23 August 2013). Participation in and submission to both

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

2nd Call for Papers

The First Workshop on the Exploration, Navigation and Retrieval of
Information in Cultural Heritage - ENRICH 2013

http://www.cultura-strep.eu/events/enrich-2013/

To be held in conjunction with the 36th Annual ACM SIGIR Conference

Workshop date: August 1st, 2013

Location: Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.

Submission deadline: 9th June 2013

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

ENRICH 2013 has three main goals:

- to discuss the challenges and opportunities in Information Retrieval
  research in the area of Cultural Heritage

- to encourage collaboration between researchers engaged in work in this
  specialist area of Information Retrieval, and to foster the formation
  of a research community

- to identify a set of actions which the community should undertake to
  progress research in this area

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

A key challenge facing the curators and providers of digital cultural
heritage worldwide is to instigate, increase and enhance engagement with
their collections. To achieve this, a fundamental change in the way
these artefacts can be discovered, explored and contributed to by users
and communities is required. Cultural heritage artefacts are digital
representations of primary resources: manuscript collections, paintings,
books, photographs etc. The text-based resources are often innately
?noisy?, contain non-standard spelling, poor punctuation and obsolete
grammar and word forms. The image-based resources often have limited
associated metadata which describes the resources and their content. In
addition, the information needs and tasks of cultural heritage users are
often complex and diverse. This presents a specific set of challenges to
traditional Information Retrieval (IR) techniques and approaches.

This workshop will investigate the enhanced retrieval of, and
interaction with, cultural heritage collections. We are interested in
investigating innovative forms of personalised, multi-lingual IR, which
can include:

- IR approaches tailored to cope with the inconsistencies which are
  common in cultural heritage collections.

- Content-aware retrieval approaches which respond to the entities and
  relationships contained within artefacts and across collections.

- Personalised IR and presentation.

- Community-aware IR approaches which respond to community activity,
  interest, contribution and experience.

Such new forms of enhanced IR require rigorous evaluation and validation
using appropriate metrics, contrasting digital cultural heritage
collections and diverse users and communities. This workshop welcomes
submissions which investigate such evaluation, taking into account the
specific requirements of the domain. The nature of cultural heritage
resources means that content analysis in support of IR is of specific
interest. This includes the automated normalisation of historical texts,
the use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for entity extraction and
metadata generation.

The ENRICH workshop aims to promote the exchange of ideas between
researchers working on the theory and foundations of IR, cross and
multi-lingual IR, personalised IR and recommender systems.

There are numerous research areas that can support such improved
retrieval and exploration in the area of cultural heritage. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

Bonjour ? tous,
Monsieur Christian Fullgrabe du MRC - Institute of Hearing Research,
Nottingham, UK), viendra nous pr?senter ses travaux sur :

"Speech perception across the adult lifespan with clinically normal hearing"

Date : Jeudi 6 juin 2013 ? 13h30
Lieu : GIPSA-lab, D?partement Parole & Cognition, salle B314 du site Amp?re
Plan d'acc?s : http://www.gipsa-lab.grenoble-inp.fr/plan-d-acces.php

R?sum? :
Subjective reports suggest that older persons experience increased
listening difficulties in noisy environments, and experimental
investigations seem to confirm this age-dependent deficit. However,
these listeners are generally unaware of their peripheral hearing status
(i.e., whether or not they have a hearing loss) and most published
studies used lax audiometric inclusion criteria. Hence, lower speech
intelligibility could be explained by a reduction in audibility with
age. Also, most studies limited their age comparison to groups of
"young" (e.g. ? 30 years) and "older" listeners (e.g. ? 60 years),
making it impossible to pinpoint the onset of the putative age effect.

This talk will present two cross-sectional investigations of central age
effects on speech perception, using participants with clinically normal
hearing over a fairly wide frequency range (? 20 dB HL for 0.125-4 kHz).
Performance on supra-threshold temporal-processing and a battery of
cognitive tasks (including tests of processing speed and working memory)
was assessed, and compared with speech identification in quiet and in
different (steady and fluctuating) background noises. To determine when
during adulthood a decline with age in these abilities first becomes
apparent, participants were sampled continuously from the entire adult
age range (18-91 years).

Despite a large individual variability, the results show an
age-dependent decline in speech identification, mainly above 60
years. Sensitivity to temporal information and cognitive performance
deteriorated as early as young middle age, and correlated with
speech-in-noise perception.

In conclusion, even when peripheral hearing sensitivity is clinically
normal, the identification of speech in noise declines with age, and
this deficit co-occurs with changes in retro-cochlear auditory
processing and cognitive functions.

UCREL Summer School in Corpus Linguistics
http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool/corpusling.php
Lancaster University, UK
16th to 19th July 2013

The UCREL Summer School 2013 is the third event in a highly successful
series that began in 2011. Sponsored by UCREL at Lancaster University -
one of the world's leading and longest-established centres for
corpus-based research - its aim is to support students of language and
linguistics in the development of advanced skills in corpus methods.

The UCREL Summer School is intended primarily for postgraduate research
students (and secondarily for Masters-level students and postdoctoral
researchers) who require in-depth knowledge of corpus-based
methodologies for their degree projects. It is not aimed at raw
beginners, but rather at PhD students who have at least some
introductory experience of analysis using language corpora, and who wish
to expand their knowledge of key issues and techniques in cutting-edge
corpus research.

The programme consists of a series of intensive two-hour sessions, some
involving practical work, others more discussion-oriented. Topics
include: Advanced corpus queries and the use of regular expressions, and
Spelling variation: historical, child and online data; Using XML in
corpus encoding and analysis and The statistics of collocation; Studying
language change in diachronic corpora; Corpus-based approaches to
metaphor in discourse; Pragmatics, politeness and impoliteness in the
corpus; Using comparable and parallel corpora in contrastive and
translation studies; Understanding statistics for corpus analysis.

The UCREL summer school is part of three 'Lancaster Summer Schools in
Interdisciplinary Digital Methods', see the website for further
information. There are additional daily plenary lectures shared with the
other two Summer School events, each illustrating cutting-edge digital
research methods using corpus data:

Tony McEnery - Representations of Islam in the UK press
Ian Gregory - Using corpus data in Geographical Information Systems
Stephen Pumfrey - The semantics of liberty in Early Modern English

The UCREL Summer School ran for the first time in 2011, and was repeated
(with the same programme) in 2012. We have extended the length of the
event, so that it is now taught over four days rather than three. We
have also revised the syllabus content for 2013; for this reason, repeat
participation by those who have already attended the summer school in
2011 or 2012 is welcome.

How to apply

The UCREL Summer School is free to attend, but registration in advance
is compulsory, as places are limited. For more details, see the website:

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.

RATIONALE

The textual information available on the Web can be broadly grouped into
two main categories: facts and opinions. Facts are objective expressions
about entities or events. Opinions are usually subjective expressions
that describe people's sentiments, appraisals, or feelings towards such
entities and events. Much of the existing research on textual
information processing has been focused on mining and retrieval of
factual information, e.g., text classification, text recognition, text
clustering, and many other text mining and natural language processing
(NLP) tasks. Little work had been done on the processing of opinions
until only recently.

One of the main reasons for the lack of studies on opinions is the fact
that there was little opinionated text available before the recent
passage from a read-only to a read-write Web. Before that, in fact, when
people needed to make a decision, they typically asked for opinions from
friends and family. Similarly, when organizations wanted to find the
opinions or sentiments of the general public about their products and
services, they had to specifically ask people by conducting opinion
polls and surveys.

However, with the advent of the Social Web, the way people express their
views and opinions has dramatically changed. They can now post reviews
of products at merchant sites and express their views on almost anything
in Internet forums, discussion groups, and blogs. Such online
word-of-mouth behavior represents new and measurable sources of
information with many practical applications. Nonetheless, finding
opinion sources and monitoring them can be a formidable task because
there are a large number of diverse sources and each source may also
have a huge volume of opinionated text.

In many cases, in fact, opinions are hidden in long forum posts and
blogs. It is extremely time-consuming for a human reader to find
relevant sources, extract related sentences with opinions, read them,
summarize them, and organize them into usable forms. Thus, automated
opinion discovery and summarization systems are needed. Sentiment
analysis grows out of this need: it is a very challenging NLP or text
mining problem. Due to its tremendous value for practical applications,
there has been an explosive growth of both research in academia and
applications in the industry.

All the sentiment analysis tasks, however, are very challenging. Our
understanding and knowledge of the problem and its solution are still
limited. The main reason is that it is a NLP task, and NLP has no easy
problems. Another reason may be due to our popular ways of doing
research. So far, in fact, researchers have relied a lot on traditional
machine learning algorithms. Some of the most effective machine learning
algorithms, however, produce no human understandable results. Apart from
some superficial knowledge gained in the manual feature engineering
process, in fact, such algorithms may achieve improved accuracy, but
little about how and why is actually known. All such approaches,
moreover, rely on syntactic structure of text, which is far from the way
human mind processes natural language.

Articles are thus invited in area of computational intelligence for
natural language processing and understanding. The broader context of

[Version fran?aise] (English version below)

Le CEA LIST propose une allocation doctorale de recherche pour la
rentr?e universitaire 2013.

Sujet de th?se : Projection interlingue d?annotations linguistiques ?
partir de corpus parall?les et comparables

Lieu de la th?se : CEA Saclay Nano-INNOV, Laboratoire Vision et
Ing?nierie des Contenus (LVIC), 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette

Encadrant : Nasredine Semmar, CEA LIST, Laboratoire Vision et Ing?nierie

Directeur de th?se: Laurent Besacier, Universit? de Grenoble,
Laboratoire d?Informatique de Grenoble (LIG)

Le Laboratoire Vision et Ing?nierie des Contenus (LVIC) du CEA LIST est
sp?cialis? en extraction et en recherche d?information multim?dia et
multilingue.

Contexte et objectifs g?n?raux de la th?se :
-----------------------------------------------------

L?annotation linguistique de ressources consiste ? ajouter des
informations de nature interpr?tative aux donn?es brutes originales
[Leech, 1997]. Ces informations peuvent ?tre d?ordre terminologique,
lexical, morphologique, syntaxique ou s?mantique et les ressources
linguistiques peuvent ?tre des lexiques, dictionnaires, transcriptions
de dialogues ou corpus de textes [V?ronis, 2000].

Les applications utilisant les ressources linguistiques annot?es sont
nombreuses et diverses : recherche d?information interlingue, fouille de
textes, extraction d?informations, aide ? la traduction, traduction
automatique, etc. C?est la raison pour laquelle, depuis quelques ann?es,
la construction automatique de telles ressources est devenue un champ de
recherche important en Traitement Automatique de la Langue (TAL) [Hamon
et al., 2007] [Viprey et L?thier, 2008] [Mazziotta, 2010] [Bestgen,
2013]. La plupart des approches d?velopp?es pour la construction de
ressources linguistiques annot?es ont un objectif commun : minimiser le
co?t de la production de telles ressources en supprimant l?intervention
humaine ou en la limitant ? la seule t?che de validation et
d??valuation. Le point commun de ces approches est de trouver et
d?explorer des m?canismes non (ou tr?s peu) co?teux pour exploiter des
ressources linguistiques annot?es d?j? disponibles pour certaines
langues et des corpus parall?les pour produire de nouvelles ressources
annot?es pour des langues faiblement dot?es. C?est le cas des approches
qui s'appuient sur la projection interlingue d?annotations. Ces
approches partent d'un corpus parall?le dont les textes en langue source
sont d?j? annot?s, et proposent des annotations pour des textes en
langue cible ? l?aide de techniques d?alignement. Ces approches
permettent de produire des ressources linguistiques ad?quates ? moindre
co?t pour des langues peu dot?es mais elles ouvrent ?galement la voie ?
des recherches sur l?extension multilingue d?outils de TAL
monolingues. Nous pourrons citer les travaux de Yarowsky et al (2001)
qui ont utilis? un corpus parall?le pour adapter des outils monolingues
(POS Taggers, chunkers et analyseurs morphologiques) ? de nouvelles
langues. La projection entre langues a ?t? r?alis?e en utilisant des
techniques d?alignement de mots entre les phrases du corpus
parall?le. Cette approche a ?t? adapt?e par Hwa et al. (2002) aux nivaux
grammatical et syntaxique pour faire une projection des informations
concernant les d?pendances syntaxiques de l?anglais vers le
chinois. Feldman et al (2006) ont exp?riment? la projection interlingue
? partir de corpus comparables pour transf?rer des ?tiquettes
morpho-syntaxiques entre le russe, le polonais et le
tch?que. L?annotation en allemand de r?les s?mantiques par projection
interlingue ? partir de la paire de langues anglais-allemand a ?t? d?j?
abord?e par Pado et Lapata (2005) (2009). Pado et Pitel (2007) ont
?valu? la g?n?ricit? de cette approche du point de vue des langues en
l?appliquant ? la paire anglais-fran?ais. Les r?sultats sont proches de
ceux obtenus pour l?allemand. Kim et al (2011) ont utilis? des
informations fournies par un aligneur de mots pour transf?rer les
entit?s nomm?es et leurs relations de l?anglais vers le cor?en en vue de
la construction d?un corpus d?apprentissage pour un syst?me d?extraction
d?information ? partir du Web. Abdul Hay (2012) a utilis? les relations
s?mantiques extraites par transitivit? traductionnelle ? partir de
corpus multilingue align? pour la constitution d?une ressource
s?mantique en arabe. Plus r?cemment, Jabaian (2012) s?est int?ress? ? la
portabilit? multilingue d?un syst?me de compr?hension de la parole en
proposant d?utiliser la traduction automatique afin de minimiser le co?t
du d?veloppement d?un nouveau syst?me de compr?hension dans une nouvelle
langue (Jabaian et al., 2013).

Les approches de projection interlingue par alignement de mots affichent
des r?sultats satisfaisants en annotations lexicales et
morpho-syntaxiques pour les couples de langues voisines, mais il reste
plusieurs d?fis ? relever pour les annotations syntaxiques et
s?mantiques des langues ? morphologie riche ou celles poss?dant des
syntagmes longs.

Cette th?se se situe dans le contexte de l?automatisation du processus
de construction de ressources linguistiques multilingues annot?es par
projection interlingue. L?objectif est d?identifier des ?quivalences
terminologiques, morpho-syntaxiques, syntaxiques ou s?mantiques ? partir
de corpus de textes parall?les ou comparables. Deux processus
constituent un pr?requis pour la projection interlingue d?annotations ?
partir de corpus : un alignement au niveau des paragraphes, des phrases
ou d?unit?s lexicales de taille variable, et une analyse linguistique
pour l?annotation des textes en langue source.

D?roulement de la th?se :
-------------------------------

Le sujet de th?se propos? a pour but d?explorer et d?exp?rimenter de
nouvelles approches de projection interlingue d?annotations et se
propose d?aborder cette probl?matique selon les trois axes suivants,
dans le prolongement des travaux d?j? r?alis?s au laboratoire LVIC :

- Utilisation d?approches statistiques et de recherche d?information
  interlingue pour la constitution de corpus de textes parall?les ?
  partir de corpus comparables. Il s?agit de mesurer une certaine
  similarit? entre les textes du corpus comparable afin d?identifier les
  textes contenant les m?mes phrases.

- Constitution de lexiques multilingues en d?veloppant de nouvelles
  approches d?alignement de mots simples, mots compos?s et expressions ?
  partir de corpus textes comparables.

- D?veloppement d?un mod?le de projection interlingue d?annotations
  terminologiques, morpho-syntaxiques, syntaxiques et s?mantiques
  ind?pendant de la langue.

Le laboratoire LVIC du CEA LIST dispose d?une plate-forme modulaire de
traitement des langues, LIMA (Besan?on et al., 2010), permettant de
r?aliser une analyse linguistique jusqu?au niveau syntaxique et
int?grant certaines analyses s?mantiques et discursives. Le doctorant
r?alisera son travail en s?appuyant sur cette plate-forme et b?n?ficiera
des travaux d?j? r?alis?s au niveau du laboratoire en alignement de mots
simples, mots compos?s et d?expressions multi-mots ? partir de corpus de
textes parall?les (Semmar et Laib, 2010) et comparables (Bouamor et al.,
2013).

Funded PhD position, CEA LIST, Laboratoire Vision et Ing?nierie des
Contenus (LVIC), France

The Vision and Content Engineering Laboratory (LVIC) of the CEA LIST,
France, is looking for a PhD student to work in the area of building
annotated multilingual linguistic resources. The LVIC is specialized in
multilingual and multimedia information extraction and retrieval.

Thesis title: Cross-language projection of linguistic annotations using
parallel and comparable corpora

Thesis subject:
------------------

Annotating corpora with linguistic information (part-of-speech tagging,
sense tagging, syntactic analysis, named entity identification, semantic
role annotation) involves significant human efforts. The availability of
parallel corpora and some resource-rich languages (such as English which
has large amounts of annotated corpora and several analysis tools
available) has recently led to several research works in order to
project linguistic annotations from the resource-rich source language to
a target language with less resources. The goal of cross-language
projection is, on the one hand, to provide all languages with linguistic
annotations, and on the other hand, to automatically induce text
analysis tools for these languages.

Scientific challenges of cross-language projection of linguistic
annotations from parallel corpora are related to the results of word
alignment tools and the syntactic divergences of the source and target
languages. Indeed, each word of the source language can map to single,
multiple, or zero words in the target language, and part-of-speech
tagsets for source and target language may be different. Many efforts
have been developed to project linguistic annotations from resource-rich
languages to other languages but most of them have only explored
approaches applying one-to-one mapping.

This thesis falls within the scope of automating the process of building
annotated multilingual linguistic resources. The main purpose in this
process is to identify lexical, syntactical and semantic equivalences
across parallel or comparable corpora.

The proposed subject aims to explore and experiment new approaches for
language-independent projection for linguistic resources construction
and annotation. It proposes to tackle this issue based on the following
areas:

- Constitution of aligned sentences and sub-sentences from comparable
  corpora using statistical and cross-language information retrieval
  approaches.

- Building bilingual lexicons of single words and multiword expressions
  using word alignment.

- Exploring rule-based, heuristic-based and hybrid approaches for
  mapping linguistic annotations using parallel corpora.

Candidate profile: The successful candidate must be at greatest 26 years
old by December 2013, will have a Master's degree (or equivalent
qualification) in Computer Science with a good background in
Computational Linguistics.

Please send a CV, a cover letter, letters of recommendation and report
card to: Nasredine Semmar (nasredine.semmar at cea.fr) and Laurent Besacier
(laurent.besacier at imag.fr)

Les r?seaux lexicaux pour le TAL
Journ?e d'?tude de l'Axe TAL de CLLE-ERSS (ouvert au public)
jeudi 27 juin 2013

Les r?seaux lexicaux permettent de repr?senter ? grande ?chelle tout
type de relation entre des mots ; ils sont construits ? partir de
diverses ressources (corpus, dictionnaires, logs de requ?tes, etc.). Le
but de cette journ?e d'?tude est de pr?senter leurs caract?ristiques, et
leur usage en Traitement Automatique des Langues. Les diff?rents
expos?s, en s'appuyant sur des applications concr?tes, aborderont des
questions li?es ? la construction, la comparaison, l'?valuation,
l'utilisation et les limites de ces ressources.

10H-->10H20
TITRE : Structure des r?seaux lexicaux

INTERVENANT : Bruno Gaume (CLLE)
RESUME : Les grands r?seaux de terrain sont les r?seaux que l'on trouve
en pratique, ils sont construits ? partir de donn?es issues de
diff?rents domaines d'?tude : La sociologie comme le r?seau d'amis de
Facebook, la linguistique comme les r?seaux de synonymie, la webologie
comme le r?seau des pages web. Plusieurs ?tudes montrent un fait
remarquable qui est que tous ces r?seaux, pourtant d'origines si
diverses, poss?dent des propri?t?s identiques bien particuli?res et font
partie de la classe des R?seaux Petits Mondes Hi?rarchiques (RPMH). Un
autre fait tout aussi remarquable est que cette classe des RPMH est tr?s
petite au regard de l'ensemble des r?seaux possibles : la probabilit? de
tirer au hasard parmi l'ensemble des r?seaux possibles un RPMH est tr?s
proche de z?ro. C'est-?-dire que les r?seaux auxquels nous avons ? faire
dans la vraie vie se ressemblent tous par leurs structures communes,
bien qu'intrins?quement cette structure soit tr?s rare du point de vue
de la th?orie de la mesure.
Dans cet expos? je commencerai par pr?senter les quatre propri?t?s
fondamentales omnipr?sentes dans les r?seaux lexicaux.
Je pr?senterais ensuite la dynamique des trajets d'un marcheur qui se
d?place al?atoirement sur les sommets d'un r?seau lexical ? travers les
relations lexicales. Nous verrons que l'?tude de ces dynamiques permet
de d?finir des outils de m?trologie lexicale.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
10H20-->10H40
TITRE : SLAM: syst?me robuste pour l'interpr?tation lexicale automatique
de m?taphores
INTERVENANT : Yann Desalle (CLLE)

RESUME : SLAM (Solution Lexicale Automatique pour M?taphores) est un
syst?me robuste pour l?interpr?tation automatique de m?taphores par
substitution lexicale (par exemple, SLAM(?d?shabiller* une pomme?) =
?peler une pomme? ). Ce syst?me r?alise une substitution lexicale du
foyer m?taphorique des m?taphores substitutives non conventionnelles
gr?ce ? un indice de tension s?mantique globale entre les
candidats-substituts et la m?taphore ? interpr?ter. Cette tension
globale est la combinaison de deux tensions primitives: (a) une tension
s?mantique paradigmatique entre les candidats-substituts et le foyer
m?taphorique (?d?shabiller?) et (b) une tension s?mantique syntagmatique
entre les candidats-substituts et le contexte m?taphorique (le
compl?ment d?objet direct ?une pomme?).
L?id?e sous-jacente ? cette r?solution est que: (a) plus la tension 
paradigmatique est faible plus le candidat-substitut conserve le sens du 
foyer m?taphorique et (b) plus la tension syntagmatique est faible plus 
la paraphrase obtenue apr?s substitution est conventionnelle. La tension 
paradigmatique repose sur une mesure de proximit? s?mantique calcul?e 
sur un graphe de synonymie, et la tension syntagmatique repose sur une 
mesure de congruence s?mantique de triplets syntaxiques calcul?e sur un 
corpus.
Bien qu?en g?n?ral les graphes de synonymie pr?sentent un faible taux
d?accord au niveau des liens, l??valuation de SLAM montre que le syst?me
est robuste, c?est-?-dire que la plupart des dictionnaires de synonymie
peuvent ?tre utilis?s pour calculer l?indice de tension paradigmatique.
Une d?monstration de l'application suivra la pr?sentation.

10H40-->11H
TITRE : De l'exploration automatique des r?seaux de synonymie ? l'?tude
de la dynamique d'acquisition lexicale des verbes en fran?ais et en
mandarin.
INTERVENANT : Yann Desalle (CLLE)
RESUME :
Une exploration automatique des r?seaux lexicaux adapt?e ? leur
structure de "r?seau petit monde hi?rarchique" ouvre de nouvelles voies
pour l'analyse lexico-s?mantique des productions verbales. Ainsi, nous
verrons dans cet expos? comment les r?seaux de synonymie permettent de
mod?liser une partie de la dynamique d'acquisition lexicale des verbes.
Tout d'abord, l'analyse par exploration automatique des r?seaux de
synonymie de verbes produits par des jeunes enfants (2-5 ans) et des
adultes natifs du fran?ais et du mandarin en d?nomination d'actions de
s?paration/d?t?rioration d'objet a mis au jour deux modes de
manifestation de la flexibilit? s?mantique chez les jeunes enfants: (a)
manifestation par production de verbes plus g?n?riques et/ou
polys?miques que ceux produits par les adultes; (b) manifestation par
production de verbes plus "approximatifs" que ceux produits par les
adultes.
Ensuite, la comparaison des verbes produits en fran?ais et en mandarin a
mis en ?vidence une diff?rence linguistique dans la r?partition de ces
modes de manifestation de la flexibilit? s?mantique: alors qu'en
fran?ais ils privil?gient la production de verbes
g?n?riques/polys?miques, en mandarin ils privil?gient la production de
verbes approximatifs.
Enfin, un indice du degr? d'acquisition du lexique des verbes (indice
REFLEX) a ?t? construit sur la base des r?sultats expos?s ci-dessus. Cet
indice prend en compte les deux modes de r?alisation de la flexibilit?
s?mantique et permet la cat?gorisation diff?rentielle des jeunes enfants
vs adultes en fran?ais et en mandarin.

11H-->11H20
PAUSE

------------------------------------------------------------------------
11H20-->11H40
TITRE : Tmuse : un outil d'exploration lexicale
INTERVENANT : Benoit Gaillard (CLLE)
RESUME : Tmuse est un outil d'exploration lexicale qui propose une
visualisation du paysage s?mantique de mots recherch?s par
l'utilisateur. Sur la base de r?seaux de synonymes, l'application
s?lectionne, par Prox?mie, les mots les plus s?mantiquement proches de
la requ?te. Ces mots et leurs liens de synonymie sont repr?sent?s sous
la forme d'un graphe interactif en 3 dimensions. Les positions relatives
des sommets de ce graphe respectent au mieux leur proximit? s?mantique,
et les communaut?s de mots, d?tect?es par des m?thodes de clustering de
graphe, sont mises en valeurs par des colorations distinctes. Dans le
cas bilingue, l'application propose des traductions par Prox?mie de
chacune de ces communaut?s. L'expos? d?taillera les principes sur
lesquels l'application s'appuie, et en illustrera les diff?rentes
fonctionnalit?s.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
11H40-->12H
TITRE : Kodex, un syst?me de recherche d'information
INTERVENANT : Emmanuel Navarro (IRIT)
RESUME : Nous allons pr?senter ici Kodex, un syst?me de recherche
d'information modulable qui classifie automatiquement les r?sultats
d'une recherche de documents. Kodex pr?sente les documents retourn?s
pour une recherche, organis?s en plusieurs groupes. Cette pr?sentation
rend visible la polys?mie de la requ?te par rapport ? la collection de
documents, et aide l'utilisateur ? affiner sa recherche. Pour cela Kodex
utilise une m?thode de clustering de graphes bipartis reliant documents
et termes. Nous pr?senterons les grandes lignes du fonctionnement de
Kodex, ainsi que l'architecture logicielle modulable utilis?e. Une
d?monstration de l'application sera faite.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
12H-->14H
PAUSE

------------------------------------------------------------------------
14H-->14H30
TITRE : Utilisation d'un graphe de traduction pour la compl?tion 
d'ontologies l?g?res multilingues
INTERVENANT : Val?rie Hanoka (ALPAGE)
R?SUM? :
Nous allons pr?senter ici un outil de compl?tion d'ontologies l?g?res
multilingue bas? sur un gros graphe de traduction et de synonymie.
Ce graphe contient 9.10^5 n?uds repr?sentant un couple (langue, mot) et
7.10^6 arcs de traduction ou synonymie. Au total, 548 langues sont
repr?sent?es, dont 20 langues disposant de plus de 10000 n?uds.
Parall?lement, nous disposons d'une ontologie l?g?re multilingue de
couverture variable selon la langue. Nous pr?senterons plusieurs
algorithmes de compl?tion ? m?me de proposer des candidats pour
l'extension d'ontologies dans chacune des langues: un premier algorithme
heuristique ayant fait l'objet d'une publication (Hanoka et Sagot, 2012)
et une adaptation du clustering local stochastique (Schaeffer, 2005)
permettant d'?mettre des candidats y compris pour les langues rares.
Enfin, nous ?voquerons le contexte d'utilisation du graphe de traduction
et de synonymie dans le cadre de la structuration de terminologies
multilingues extraites de corpus comparables dans plusieurs langues.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
14H30-->16H
TITRE : Quelles ressources s?mantiques pour traiter la parole spontan?e ?
INTERVENANT : Laurent Prevot (LPL)

RESUME : Le traitement automatique de l'oral spontan? pose des questions
diff?rentes de celui de l'?crit. A l'?crit, le recours aux ressources
s?mantiques, comme les r?seaux lexicaux, est maintenant bien ?tabli
notamment gr?ce ? l'existence de lexiques de qualit? et de corpus de
grande taille. En passant ? l'oral, la taille des corpus et l'ad?quation
des lexiques et autres outils deviennent des probl?mes cruciaux.
Concernant les corpus, tandis que la faible performance en
reconnaissance automatique sur de la parole spontan?e n'autorise pas un
traitement classique des sorties de tels syst?mes, le co?t de
transcription manuelle resulte en des corpus d'une autre ?chelle que
ceux de l'?crit. Par ailleurs, les sp?cificit?s de l'oral spontan?
requi?rent dans le meilleur des cas une adaptation des ressources
traditionnelles.
Dans cet expos?, je montrerai ? quels probl?mes se heurtent des m?thodes
utilisant les r?seaux lexicaux utilis?s sur des corpus d'oral spontan?.
Dans ce contexte, j'aborderai plus sp?cifiquement les sujets suivants:
l'utilisation de ressources s?mantiques pour le traitement des
disfluences et la segmentation et la classification des unit?s
discursives.

Ireland. For more information on the conference, please visit:
http://www.sigir2013.ie

We are seeking dedicated and enthusiastic student volunteers to support
the running of SIGIR 2013.

Student volunteers will need to commit to approximately 8 hours of
effort during the conference. Volunteers will be expected to assist
staff with tasks such as organising conference material, supporting
sessions to ensure they run smoothly, checking badges, helping people
locate sessions, running errands etc. These tasks will typically consist
of multiple three to four hour time periods, including the tutorial and
workshop days.

Serving as a student volunteer is a great way to get involved in the
conference, while contributing to the SIGIR community. Volunteers will
receive a registration waiver for the main conference including welcome
reception and the conference banquet.

Unfortunately we are not able to provide travel support as part of the
student volunteer package. Students wishing to apply for travel support
please visit: http://www.sigir.org/travel-support/
Students interested in volunteering should complete the following form ?

Bonjour,

J'ai le plaisir de vous inviter ? ma soutenance de th?se intitul?e
"Collecte orient?e sur le Web pour la recherche d'information
sp?cialis?e".
La soutenance aura lieu le mercredi 5 juin 2013 ? 10h en salle de 
conf?rences du LIMSI-CNRS (B?timent 508, Universit? Paris Sud, Orsay ; 
http://www.limsi.fr).
Bien ?videmment, vous ?tes ?galement convi?s au traditionnel pot qui
suivra.

Le jury de soutenance sera compos? de :

* Rapporteurs
  ?ric Gaussier, Universit? Joseph Fourier de Grenoble
  Jacques Savoy, Universit? de Neuch?tel
* Examinateurs
  Chantal Reynaud, Universit? Paris-Sud
  Mohand Boughanem, Universit? Paul Sabatier de Toulouse
* Invit?
  Claude de Loupy, Syllabs
* Directeurs
  Pierre Zweigenbaum, CNRS
  Xavier Tannier, Universit? Paris-Sud

R?sum? de la th?se :

Les moteurs de recherche verticaux, qui se concentrent sur des segments
sp?cifiques du Web, deviennent aujourd'hui de plus en plus pr?sents dans
le paysage d'Internet. Les moteurs de recherche th?matiques, notamment,
peuvent obtenir de tr?s bonnes performances en limitant le corpus index?
? un th?me connu. Les ambigu?t?s de la langue sont alors d'autant plus
contr?lables que le domaine est bien cibl?. De plus, la connaissance des
objets et de leurs propri?t?s rend possible le d?veloppement de
techniques d'analyse sp?cifiques afin d'extraire des informations
pertinentes.

Dans le cadre de cette th?se, nous nous int?ressons plus pr?cis?ment ?
la proc?dure de collecte de documents th?matiques ? partir du Web pour
alimenter un moteur de recherche th?matique. La proc?dure de collecte
peut ?tre r?alis?e en s'appuyant sur un moteur de recherche g?n?raliste
existant (recherche orient?e) ou en parcourant les hyperliens entre les
pages Web (exploration orient?e).

Nous ?tudions tout d'abord la recherche orient?e. Dans ce contexte,
l'approche classique consiste ? combiner des mot-cl?s du domaine
d'int?r?t, ? les soumettre ? un moteur de recherche et ? t?l?charger les
meilleurs r?sultats retourn?s par ce dernier. Apr?s avoir ?valu?
empiriquement cette approche sur 340 th?mes issus de l'OpenDirectory,
nous proposons de l'am?liorer en deux points. En amont du moteur de
recherche, nous proposons de formuler des requ?tes th?matiques plus
pertinentes pour le th?me afin d'augmenter la pr?cision de la collecte.
Nous d?finissons une m?trique fond?e sur un graphe de cooccurrences et
un algorithme de marche al?atoire, dans le but de pr?dire la pertinence
d'une requ?te th?matique. En aval du moteur de recherche, nous proposons
de filtrer les documents t?l?charg?s afin d'am?liorer la qualit? du
corpus produit. Pour ce faire, nous mod?lisons la proc?dure de collecte
sous la forme d'un graphe triparti et appliquons un algorithme de marche
al?atoire biais? afin d'ordonner par pertinence les documents et termes
apparaissant dans ces derniers.

Dans la seconde partie de cette th?se, nous nous focalisons sur
l'exploration orient?e du Web. Au coeur de tout robot d'exploration
orient?e se trouve une strat?gie de crawl qui lui permet de maximiser le
rapatriement de pages pertinentes pour un th?me, tout en minimisant le
nombre de pages visit?es qui ne sont pas en rapport avec le th?me. En
pratique, cette strat?gie d?finit l'ordre de visite des pages. Nous
proposons d'apprendre automatiquement une fonction d'ordonnancement
ind?pendante du th?me ? partir de donn?es existantes annot?es
automatiquement.

Fourth International Conference
on  Information and Communication Technology
and Accessibility

October 24-26, 2013, Hammamet, Tunisia

www.icta.rnu.tn

Call for papers

The fourth International Conference on ICT & Accessibility ICTA2013 is
organized by the Research Laboratory of Technologies of Information and
Communication and Electrical Engineering (LaTICE), of the University of
Tunis in collaboration with The Computing Center EL KHAWARIZMI (CCK),
with the technical co-sponsorship of IEEE Tunisian Section. This year?s
edition of ICTA has the theme of *?Design 4 all?*. 

People with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive impairments are facing
many barriers to use ICT-based services.  Those barriers might vary as
the infrastructure changes and may prevent the access to information or
interactive services. Also, due to the richness of information, the
infrastructure and contingent factors like language barriers, everybody
can become situationally impaired. The focus will be then put on devices
and software to enhance the lives and promote the independence of people
with disabilities.

The conference explores the design, evaluation and use of computing and
information technologies to make life easier especially for specific
groups of users like people with disabilities. We therefore welcome high
quality and original papers relevant to these issues. Papers that
propose new tools, that assess solutions that show similarities or
differences between existent approaches are then expected. We also
encourage the participation of users and other interested parties as an
additional balance to the discussion. Our aim is to focus on
accessibility by encouraging participation from many disciplines. Views
bridge academia, commerce, and industry and arguments encompassing a
range of beliefs across the design-accessibility spectrum are
presented.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by an international program
committee. The accepted papers, posters and demonstrations will be
published in the IEEE Xplore and indexed by DBLP, Google scholar, and
many others. At least one author of the accepted submissions must
register as the presenter.

Main topics

The topics of interest include (but not limited to):

- Accessible mobile environments.

Conference venue

ICTA 2013 will be held at Hammamet city-Tunisia, 60 Km south east of the
northern peninsula of Cap-Bon. Hammamet has among North Africa's finest
beach resorts. Once a sleepy fishing village, Hammamet (the name comes
from the Arabic al-hammamat, meaning 'the baths') was awakened to its
tourist potential back in the 1920s when a flock of wealthy and arty
Americans and Europeans decided to make the beautiful bay their
destination. Despite its modern architectural and human incursions,
Hammamet retains its sense of exotic history, dominated by its
15th-century medina and souk packed with treasures like carpets, brass
ornaments, jewellery, pottery, and leather goods. The narrow winding
alleys also conceal bright, whitewashed windowless houses behind
splendid ornate doors. Hammamet also extends on large fields of orange
trees well known by their authentic taste.

Registration

The registration fees including: Proceedings, bag, lunches, coffee break
and Banquet dinner will be kept as low as possible to encourage large
participation (will be up to 350 euros).

Nanterre, 17.06.13

Le labex /Les Pass?s dans le pr?sent/ recrute pour le projet 
? Mod?lisation, r?f?rentiels et usages? un ing?nieur de recherche (IGR2,
premier ?chelon) ? temps plein pour une dur?e de 6 mois ? compter du
1^er septembre 2013. L'employeur est l'Universit? Paris Ouest Nanterre
La D?fense.

Pr?sentation du labex

Le labex porte sur les enjeux d'une m?diation dynamique du pass?, ?
partir d'objets complexes (archives, images, sons, objets...)  et sur les
conditions d'intelligibilit? de ceux-ci aupr?s du public dans le
contexte des technologies num?riques.

Partant du constat que, de ce point de vue, un objet antique soul?ve des
questions du m?me ordre qu'une photographie d'?v?nements contemporains,
il associe dans une r?flexion commune et interdisciplinaire plusieurs
composantes de l'universit? de Paris Ouest Nanterre La D?fense
(historiens, arch?ologues, ethnologues, sociologues, politistes,
philosophes, linguistes), r?unies dans 8 ?quipes (1 USR, 6 unit?s de
recherche, et la Biblioth?que de documentation internationale
contemporaine), en partenariat avec trois institutions patrimoniales
(Biblioth?que nationale de France, mus?e d'arch?ologie nationale, mus?e
du Quai Branly).

*Profil type *

- maitrise des concepts en Science de l'Information, notamment en ce qui
  concerne les th?saurus ;

- maitrise des concepts en Informatique et plus sp?cifiquement ceux du
  Web s?mantique ;

- connaissance, si possible, des mod?les CIDOC CRM, Hadoc, FRBR ;

- capacit? ? travailler en ?quipe dans un environnement
  interdisciplinaire.

*Mission*

Proposer un mod?le conceptuel noyau pour repr?senter les donn?es
produites par les diff?rents acteurs du labex. Cette mission s'ins?re
dans le projet men? par le groupe ? Mod?les et r?f?rentiels ?, coordonn?
par Jean-Luc Minel (MODYCO) et Anne Faure (mus?e du quai Branly), qui
vise ? sp?cifier un mod?le noyau de repr?sentation des donn?es et des
connaissances scientifiques produites par les partenaires du projet en
vue de leur exploitation et leur diss?mination. La personne recrut?e
sera encadr?e par Jean-Luc Minel, professeur ? l'universit? Paris Ouest
Nanterre La D?fense, directeur de MODYCO.

*Lieu de travail*

Universit? Paris Ouest Nanterre La D?fense

**

*Principales t?ches*

- ?valuer des mod?les conceptuels de donn?es existants (FRBR , CIDOC
  CRM, LIDO, etc) ;

- ?valuer des r?f?rentiels (m?tiersou g?n?riques) existants (Rameau,
  Thea, etc.) ;

- ?laborer un mod?le noyau pouvant f?d?rer les diff?rents projets et

Offre de post-doc  ? ALPAGE

Domaine : Traitement Automatique du Langage : 
Sp?cialit? : Analyse discursive (annotation et mod?lisation)

Offre de postdoc de 18 mois au sein d'ALPAGE 
(Universit? Paris Diderot et INRIA :
https://www.rocq.inria.fr/alpage-wiki/tiki-index.php?page=accueil )
dans le cadre de l'ANR Polymnie
(http://semagramme.loria.fr/doku.php?id=projects:polymnie)

L'analyse discursive d'un texte consiste ? segmenter le texte en unit?s
discursives et ? relier ces unit?s r?cursivement par des "relations de
discours".
Les relations de discours peuvent ou non ?tre signal?es par des
"connecteurs de discours".

Plusieurs th?ories discursives (RST, SDRT, etc) existent mais
l'attention ne s'est gu?re port?e sur l'interaction entre syntaxe et
discours, en particulier sur l'influence de l'ench?ssement d'une unit?
discursive par rapport ? son int?gration dans l'analyse discursive.  Le
style de questions que l'on peut se poser est : quels sont les
connecteurs de discours que l'on peut trouver dans une relative ?  O? se
positionnent les arguments de tels connecteurs ?

Le travail portera sur deux aspects, d'une part une annotation manuelle
dans le cadre du projet FDTB (French Discourse Tree Bank) inspir? du
PDTB (Penn Discourse Tree Bank), d'autre part une mod?lisation de
l'interface syntaxe (phrastique) et s?mantique (discursive).

Le candidat id?al aurait les connaissances suivantes  :

- en linguistique :  discours, s?mantique (e.g. factualit?) et syntaxe 
- en TAL : formalismes grammaticaux (e.g. TAG) et s?mantique formelle
  (e.g. DRT ou SDRT)
- en informatique : connaissances des outils d'exploration de corpus
  (langages de script).

Peu de candidats potentiels correspondant ? ce profil id?al, les
candidatures qui n'y correspondent que partiellement seront prises en
consid?ration.

Pour candidater, merci d'envoyer par e-mail un CV et une lettre de
motivation ? Laurence Danlos (Laurence.Danlos at inria.fr) avant le 10
Juillet.

interdisciplinary research and cross-fertilization between the different
scientific communities All areas related to human communication are
concerned: language and speech computing, robotics or virtual agents, as
well as linguistics, phonetics, pragmatics, didactics, sociology,
psychology, neuropsychology, ethology, biology, etc. The organisation of
affect is complex ? from low-level emotion automatic or reflexive
processing to higher cognitive levels , culture-dependent,
language-organized, controlled processing. Speech can signal some very
rich social and emotional cues, reflecting personality, social role, the
cultural/language specificities in all human interactions and more
broadly in human communication.

This workshop will be especially the place where ?social emotions? will
be debated from different points of view, with different meanings
depending on the domain.

Bonjour ? tous,

Madame Jacqueline Leybaert et Madame Cl?mence Bayard du CRCN, Universit?
libre de Bruxelles, Belgique, viendrons nous pr?senter leurs travaux sur :

"Perception mulit-modale de la LPC : Effet de l?expertise et du statut
auditif"

Date : Jeudi 30 Mai 2013 ? 13h30
Lieu : GIPSA-lab, D?partement Parole & Cognition, salle B314 du site
Amp?re
Plan d'acc?s : http://www.gipsa-lab.grenoble-inp.fr/plan-d-acces.php

R?sum? :
La Langue fran?aise Parl?e Compl?t?e (LPC) est un mode de communication
qui l?ve les ambig?it?s de la lecture labiale ? l?aide d?un ensemble de
gestes manuels. Tout comme la parole, la LPC a pour particularit? d??tre
multi-signal (mouvement des l?vres et gestes de la main). Pour aboutir ?
un percept coh?rent, il est donc n?cessaire de combiner les informations
labiales et manuelles Nous avons conduit deux ?tudes d?oculom?trie afin
de d?terminer comment le traitement de ces deux informations ?volue avec
le niveau d?expertise et quel est le poids de chacune sur le percept
final.  Les participants devaient identifier des mots/pseudomots (?tude
1) ou des syllabes /aCa/ (?tude 2) pr?sent?es avec un geste congruent
(?tude 1) ou incongruent (?tude 2) avec l?information
labiale. L?information labiale pouvait ?tre visible (consonnes
ant?rieures) ou peu visible (consonnes post?rieures). Trois groupes de
participants entendant ont ?t? test?s (na?fs, d?butants ou experts en
LPC) et un groupe de sourds pratiquant la LPC. Les r?sultats sugg?rent
que la visibilit? et l?expertise modifie le poids accord? ?
l?information manuelle.

Pour les normo-entendants et les sourds, la perception de la parole
implique un traitement int?gratif des informations auditives et
labiales.  Dans une troisi?me exp?rience, nous avons ?tudi? comment
cette int?gration audiovisuelle de la parole pouvait ?tre affect? par la
pr?sence d?une cl? manuelle. Pour ce faire, nous avons ?labor? le
premier paradigme exp?rimental utilisant des stimuli McGurk produit avec
une cl? LPC. La cl? LPC pouvait ?tre congruente avec l?information
auditive, avec l?information labiale ou avec la fusion attendue. Nos
r?sultats sugg?rent que la cl? LPC peut modifier l?int?gration
audiovisuelle, et que son impact d?pend du statut auditif.

EXCURSION and DINNER   (http://cs.smu.ca/~ciaa2013/excursion.html)
Join your kilted guide and head to Peggy's Cove - an artists' and
explorers' paradise for well over 150 years. This famed village on the
rugged Atlantic Shoreline stands on solid rock above the crashing
surf. The coastline is famous for pirates, shipwrecks, sunsets and the
one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world. There will be
plenty of time for exploring this unique area, and for those who wish,
your guide will take you on a walking tour of the moody cove and
village.
Return to Halifax and enjoy a history and anecdote-filled ride through
the streets of Halifax which will introduce you to one of North
America's most unique and captivating destinations. Hear of the days of
rum-running and privateering, Halifax during the war years, and the
exploits and the heroism of the citizens that lived through the
devastating Halifax Explosion in 1917. Your excursion includes a picture
stop at Citadel Hill and the Old Town Clock, as well as a visit to the
Titanic Burial Site at the Fairview Lawn Cemetery where you will learn
about our connection to this disaster.
Next, an unforgettable dining experience awaits as we step aboard the
Harbour Queen I where we will savour a delicious buffet dinner and
cruise along the beautiful and picturesque harbourside.
