Call for Posters
Translating and the Computer 36
London, 27 and 28 November 2014

The Translating and the Computer conference
(http://www.translatingandthecomputer.com/) encourages submissions for
poster presentations to supplement the regular presentations of the
conference. Posters are expected to present ongoing and not necessarily
completed research, teaching or training activity, practical work,
software programs, projects or developments in general related to
translation, interpretation and terminology, and to the related
industries.

The Translating and the Computer conference is a unique forum for
researchers, developers and users. It brings together academics involved
in language technology research and in teaching translation and
terminology with those who develop and market tools for language
transformation and both of these groups with users: translators,
terminologists, interpreters, and voice-over specialists, whether
freelancers or working in translation departments of large organisations
such as those of the European Parliament, European courts and the
European Patent Office, the United Nations family, international
companies and other organisations, and Language Services Providers
(LSPs), large and small.

In its 36th session Translating and the Computer has moved from ASLIB to
ASLING. The conference often referred to as the “ASLIB Conference” is
now the ASLING Translating and the Computer Conference. One of the new
developments is also the launch of a poster session in addition to the
regular presentation slots.

Poster proposals in the form of poster abstracts not exceeding 500 words
(the final versions of the accepted posters can be up to 1,500 words)
must be submitted using the START system at the following address:
https://www.softconf.com/e/tc2014, adding the text “Poster:” at the
start of the “Title of Submission: ” field in the online submission
form.

Accepted poster papers will be included (and will have the have the same
status as regular papers) in the conference proceedings only after the
registration fee for at least one presenter of the paper has been paid.

Important dates
Deadline for poster submissions: 8 August 2014
Notification of acceptance or rejection: 22 August 2014
Camera-ready poster papers due: 3 October
Conference: 27 and 28 November 2014

From hamon at LIMSI.FR  Fri Aug  1 21:27:20 2014
From: hamon at LIMSI.FR (Thierry Hamon)
Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2014 23:27:20 +0200
Subject: Job: Postdoc,
 Etude du dialogue vocal et tactile avec les objets connectes,
 Orange Labs Lannion
Message-ID: <FRI.1.AUG.2014.232720.0200.HAMON@LIMSI.FR>

Mission :
Dans le cadre de ses activités de recherche, Orange Labs recrute un
post-doctorant dans le domaine des interfaces naturelles avec les objets
connectés.

L'équipe NADIA (NAtural DIAlogue) comprend huit collaborateurs, ainsi
que trois doctorants et un post-doctorant. La mission de NADIA est la
maintenance, le développement et la recherche concernant le dialogue en
général et la suite logicielle Disserto en particulier. Disserto est une
technologie de dialogue interne à Orange, ayant servi à développer des
dizaines d'applications vocales récoltant près de 200M d'appels par an.

Le post-doctorat proposé s'inscrit dans le contexte de l'internet des
objets et de l'interaction avec ces objets. Le nombre d'objets connectés
à Internet est en forte croissance et devrait atteindre plusieurs
milliards à l'horizon 2020. Fournis avec une API et leur application
dédiée, ces objets connectés ont un comportement défini par défaut (ex :
fourniture de température et de niveau d'humidité par une station météo,
mesure de fréquence cardiaque par un capteur de pression artérielle,
etc) et communiquent avec un smartphone ou une tablette via une liaison
bluetooth ou wifi.

Ce post-doctorat se focalisera sur les interactions avec les objets
connectés via les « wearable devices » (montres ou lunettes connectées),
et visera à investiguer deux angles de recherche centrés sur le dialogue
homme/machine dans l'environnement domestique : la configuration et
l'utilisation d'un objet connecté :


1. Comment configurer par un dialogue vocal/tactile le comportement
   attendu d'un nouvel objet connecté ?

   Dès que l'utilisateur veut personnaliser le comportement de son objet
   connecté, il lui est nécessaire d'utiliser les fonctions de l'API et
   de paramétrer lui-même le comportement attendu (ex avec un
   visioportier : être averti d'une intrusion dans la maison). Cette
   étape peut être très complexe en fonction des objets, voire
   totalement impossible pour la plupart des utilisateurs. Une
   configuration de l'objet connecté par un dialogue automatique peut
   être une réponse adaptée à cette difficulté.



2. Comment dialoguer avec un objet connecté (muni d'une application) ?

   Une fois configuré, l'objet connecté doit non seulement avoir le
   comportement défini par l'utilisateur, mais aussi interagir avec
   l'utilisateur de manière adaptée. En fonction du type d'objet, un
   dialogue vocal peut se révéler plus efficace qu'une interface tactile
   (ex avec un visioportier : demander à visionner la vidéo de tel jour
   à telle heure). La mise en place d'une interface à base de dialogue
   naturel entre l'utilisateur et l'objet pour l'utilisation cet objet
   constitue l'autre volet du sujet de post-doctorat.

Selon le candidat retenu, le sujet de post-doctorat pourra être focalisé
sur l'un de ces deux angles de recherche. Après une phase d'analyse de
l'existant et des usages, le candidat retenu prototypera une application
à base de dialogue naturel. Tout au long de ce travail, un approche
centrée utilisateur sera privilégiée.

Les travaux menés pourront faire l'objet de publications dans des
conférences internationales.

Profil :
Etre titulaire d'un doctorat en informatique.

Compétences en programmation : développement Androïd
Expériences fortement appréciées : dialogue homme/machine en langage
naturel, domotique, outils de l'environnement domestique, internet des
objets, traitement automatique des langues

Compétences transverses : analyse, travail en équipe, anglais courant
indispensable, autonomie

Forte motivation, collaboration au sein d'une équipe
pluri-disciplinaire.

Démarrage possible : juillet 2014
Durée : 12 mois
Localisation : Lannion (Côtes d'Armor)

==================
About the Workshop
==================

Computational Terminology covers an increasingly important aspect in
Natural Language Processing areas such as text mining, information
retrieval, information extraction, summarisation, textual entailment,
document management systems, question-answering systems, ontology
building, etc. Terminological information is paramount for knowledge
mining from texts for scientific discovery and competitive
intelligence. Scientific needs in fast growing domains (such as
biomedicine, chemistry and ecology) and the overwhelming amount of
textual data published daily demand that terminology is acquired and
managed systematically and automatically; while in well established
domains (such as law, economy, banking and music) the demand is on
fine-grained analyses of documents for knowledge description and
acquisition. Moreover, capturing new concepts leads to the acquisition
and management of new knowledge.

The aim of this fourth CompuTerm workshop is to bring together Natural
Language Processing researchers to discuss recent advances in
computational terminology and its impact in many NLP applications. The
topics addressed in this workshop are wide ranging:

- term extraction, recognition and filtering, which is the core of the
  terminological activity that lays basis for other terminological
  topics and tasks;

- event recognition and extraction, that extends the notion of the
  terminological entity from terms meaning static units up to terms
  meaning procedural and dynamic processes;

- acquisition of semantic relations among terms, which is also an
  important research topic as the acquisition of semantic relationships
  between terms finds applications such as the population and update of
  existing knowledge bases, definition of domain specific templates in
  information extraction and disambiguation of terms;

- term variation management, that helps to deal with the dynamic nature
  of terms, their acquisition from heterogeneous sources, their
  integration, standardisation and representation for a large range of
  applications and resources, is also increasingly important, as one has
  to address this research problem when working with various controlled
  vocabularies, thesauri, ontologies and textual data. Term variation is
  also related to their paraphrases and reformulations, due to
  historical, regional, local or personal issues. Besides, the discovery
  of synonym terms or term clusters is equally beneficial to many NLP
  applications;

- definition acquisition, that covers important research and aims to
  provide precise and nonambiguous description of terminological
  entities.  Such definitions may contain elements necessary for the
  formal description of terms and concepts within ontologies;

- consideration of the user expertise, that is becoming a new issue in
  the terminological activity, takes into account the fact that
  specialized domains contain notions and terms often nonunderstandable
  to non-experts or to laymen (such as patients within the medical area,
  or bank clients within banking and economy areas). This aspect,
  although related to specialized areas, provides direct link between
  specialized languages and general language;

- systematic terminology management and updating domain specific
  dictionaries and thesauri, that are important aspects for maintaining
  the existing terminological resources. These aspects become crucial
  because the amount of the existing terminological resources is
  constantly increasing and because their perennial and efficient use
  depends on their maintenance and updating, while their re-acquisition
  is costly and often non-reproducible;

- monolingual and multilingual resources, that open the possibility for
  developing cross-lingual and multi-lingual applications, requires
  specific corpora, methods and tools which design and evaluation are
  challenging issues;

- robustness and portability of methods, which allows to apply methods
  developed in one given context to other contexts (corpora, domains,
  languages, etc.) and to share the research expertise among them;

- social netwoks and modern media processing, that attracts an
  increasing number of researchers and that provides challenging
  material to be processed;

- utilization of terminologies in various NLP applications, as they are
  a necessary component of any NLP system dealing with domain-specific
  literature, is another novel and challenging research direction.

The workshop submissions are open to different approaches, ranging from
term extraction in various languages (using verb co-occurrence,
information theoretic approaches, machine learning, etc.), translation
pairs extracting from bilingual corpora based on terminology, up to
semantic oriented approaches and theoretical aspects of
terminology. Besides, experiments on the evaluation of terminological
methods and tools are also encouraged since they provide interesting and
useful proof about the utility of terminological resources:

- direct evaluation may concern the efficiency of the terminological
  methods and tools to capture the terminological entities and
  relations, as well as various kinds of related information;

- indirect evaluation may concern the use of terminological resources in
  various NLP applications and the impact these resources have on the
  performance of the automatic systems. In this case, research and
  competition tracks (such as TREC, BioCreative, CLEF, CLEF-eHealth,
  I2B2, *SEM, and other shared tasks), provide particularly fruitful
  evaluation contexts and proved very successful in identifying key
  problems in terminology such as term variation and ambiguity.

             CONTRAT DOCTORAL LABEX EFL : OPTIMISATION POUR
                   L'ANALYSE SYNTAXIQUE ET SÉMANTIQUE



Le LabEx EFL (Empirical Foundations of Linguistics, site
[http://www.labex-efl.org/]) offre un contrat doctoral de 3 ans.

Le sujet proposé concerne l'utilisation de méthodes d'optimisation pour
l'analyse syntaxique profonde et l'analyse sémantique. En particulier,
on désire étudier l'applicabilité de méthodes comme la relaxation
lagrangienne pour dériver de nouveaux algorithmes d'analyse
syntaxique/sémantique.

Ces méthodes d'optimisation sont depuis quelques temps appliquées à de
nombreux problèmes en TAL (traduction automatique, analyse syntaxique,
analyse sémantique, résumé automatique entre autres). Le travail de
recherche s'orientera dans une premier temps vers l'application de ces
méthodes aux algorithmes d'analyse dans les grammaires d'arbres
adjoints. Dans un second temps on étudiera l'intégration les calculs
sémantiques à cette approche. Plus de détails
[http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/~leroux/phd-nlp-optim.pdf]

L'étudiant effectuera ses recherches au sein du LIPN (Laboratoire
d'Informatique de Paris Nord), une unité de recherche mixte
CNRS/Université Paris13 Sorbonne Paris Cité ([http://www.lipn.fr]). Le
LIPN est un laboratoire d'informatique qui regroupe 5 équipes de
recherches. Plus de 130 membres participent aux activités du laboratoire
dont 78 chercheurs ou enseignants-chercheurs permanents. Le LIPN fait
partie du pôle MathSTIC, un centre de recherche dans les domaines
mathématiques et sciences et technologies de l'information et de la
communication. Le doctorant rejoindra l'équipe RCLN dont les thématiques
de recherches sont centrées autour des textes, du traitement automatique
des langues à la représentation des connaissances en passant par la
recherche d'information sémantique et la fouille de textes.

Le doctorant sera encadré par Joseph Le Roux, Maître de Conférences, et
supervisé par Adeline Nazarenko, Professeur des Universités. Il dépendra
de l'École Doctorale Galilée de l'Université Paris13. Il bénéficiera des
ressources du LIPN, et de l'environnement de recherche
interdisciplinaire du Laboratoire d'Excellence EFL, plus
particulièrement l'axe du LabEx consacré à l'analyse sémantique
automatique (axe 5). Le salaire sera aligné sur les allocations
ministérielles de thèse de doctorat (1684 euros brut par mois).

Le candidat devra avoir des connaissances en traitement automatique des
langues (une bonne connaissances des formalismes comme les grammaires
d'arbres adjoints est un plus), et s'intéresser aux méthodes
d'apprentissage automatique. Il devra également être motivé pour
explorer les méthodes d'optimisation combinatoire.

Pièces à fournir pour la candidature :
- un CV
- les notes de Master 2 ou équivalent
- le mémoire de Master 2 ou équivalent
- une lettre de motivation
- une lettre de recommandation

Date limite de candidature: 7 septembre 2014

Le processus de sélection du candidat s'effectuera en deux étapes :
présélection sur dossier puis auditions des candidats retenus. Les
auditions auront lieu la semaine du 15 septembre sur place au LIPN ou
par visio-conférence.

An Information Extraction Platform For Ontology Engineering

The Orpailleur team offers a 1-year post-doctoral position in Nancy,
France, starting in Autumn 2014. This project aims at improving existing
tools and developing a complete platform of information extraction that
annotates texts in an rdf (or similar) format. The result of this
process should be used to build an ontology but this is out of the scope
of this project. However, in order to fulfill requirements coming from
the ontological level, the EI process may be progressively improved,
i.e. discovering new entities, new features or new relations. Thus,
experts that guide the process should be able to interact with the IE
platform and apply some data mining tools and machine learning methods
to identify new feature of interest.

Candidates applying for this position should have a PhD in Computer
Sciences with a good background in Natural Language Processing and
Information Extraction. Knowledge about Data Mining and Machine Learning
would be greatly appreciated. In addition, abilities and experience in
programming in C, C++ or Java are wished. This work comes within the
scope of the "Hybride ANR Project" which aims at extracting from PubMed
texts some knowledge about rares diseases. The candidate will have to
work jointly with another post-doc researcher on Formal Concept Analysis
that will be in charge of conceptualizing the ontology.

LORIA lab is located in Nancy, East of France. It is among the largest
computer science research laboratories in France involving several
research organizations such as CNRS, INRIA Nancy Grand Est and Lorraine
University. It is a very large and challenging research environment with
29 research teams and excellent computing facilities. Working languages
are French or English.

Formal Concept Analysis For Ontology Engineering

The Orpailleur team offers a 1-year post-doctoral position in Nancy,
France, starting in Autumn 2014. This project aims at improving existing
tools and developing new tools based on Formal Concept Analysis for
building ontologies from structured textual data. Several tracks could
be explored. One of them consists in studying the reduction of a concept
lattices, i.e. check whether the high number of concepts in a concept
lattice can be only represented by attribute concepts and object
concepts (also known as the AOC-poset, which can provide a good
conceptualization of the domain). Another track aims at using extensions
of Formal Concept Analysis, namely Relational Concept Analysis and
Pattern Structures, to model more complex phenomena in knowledge
representation (such as relational aspects). Moreover, providing domain
experts with interaction facilities at the lattice level, introducing
metrics in the lattice (stability…) are also other possible directions
of investigation. The work will involve both theoretical and programming
aspects leading to the development of a running prototype.

Candidates applying for this position should have a PhD in Computer
Sciences with a good background in Knowledge Discovery (Formal Concept
Analysis) and Knowledge Representation. In addition, abilities and
experience in programming in C, C++ or Java are wished.

This work comes within the scope of the "Hybride ANR Project" which aims

Merci de diffuser largement l'annonce ci-dessous. Désolé pour les envois
multiples.

========================================================================
Poste d'ingénieur recherche et développement, Traitement automatique de 
la langue, Avignon. Sept 2014.

Le Laboratoire d'Informatique d'Avignon (Université d'Avignon,
lia.univ-avignon.fr)) et le Laboratoire d'Informatique Fondamentale de
Lille (http://www.lifl.fr/) cherchent à pourvoir un poste d'ingénieur
recherche et développement.

Dans la cadre du projet ANR MaRDi (Man-Robot Dialogue) il s'agit d'un
**CDD de 12 mois** basé à Avignon (avec séjours ponctuels à Lille) axé
sur le développement d'une plateforme de dialogue oral. L'architecture
de la solution existante, basée sur des approches statistiques état de
l'art, devra être complètement repensée afin d'améliorer sa modularité
et aussi de permettre son exploitation sous forme de service web afin de
développer les approches de collecte de données en ligne
(crowdsourcing).

D'excellentes compétences en programmation et architecture logicielle
sont attendues. Plus précisément les compétences recherchées incluent :

- Langage de programmation C++ ou Java ;
- Langages de script Python, Perl ;
- Développement Web : HTML/Javascript/CSS/XML, web services (REST...),
  serveurs d'application (Tomcat, Glassfish...) ;
- Traitement automatique de la langue : connaissances générales sur les
  systèmes d'interactions vocales (reconnaissance et interprétation de
  la parole, gestion du dialogue, génération de texte, synthèse de
  parole...).

Le salaire prévu est de 2400 euros brut / mois et peut varier selon le
profil et l'expérience. Le poste est ouvert aux débutants (récents
diplômés d'école d'ingénieur ou de Master, spécialités informatique ou
"linguistique - informatique" si couplée avec des connaissances
significatives en informatique) mais aussi aux récents docteurs
possédant de bonnes capacités en programmation.

Le profil possède une forte dominante développement, toutefois le
travail attendu s’inscrit dans les activités de recherche de deux
groupes de recherche très actifs et se prête à publications (post-doc
possible). En fonction de la qualité de l'ingénieur/docteur recruté, les
deux laboratoires bénéficient d'un fond constant de projets permettant
d'envisager la prolongation du contrat à l'issue des 12 mois.

Les candidats peuvent envoyer un dossier (cv, motivation et éventuelles
lettres de recommandation, en pdf) à
fabrice.lefevre-_-à-_-univ-avignon.fr. La date de démarrage souhaitée
est **septembre/octobre 2014**. L'offre reste valide jusqu'au
recrutement d'un candidat.

CLEF 2015 - Call for Labs proposals
-----------------------------------------

http://clef2015.clef-initiative.eu/

Toulouse, France, September 8 - 11, 2015

Important Dates
---------------
* Final lab proposals: 10 September 2014
* Notification of lab acceptance: 19 September 2014
* 3 November 2014: Labs registration opens

CLEF is a leading annual international conference exploring topics in
information access technologies.
The CLEF Conference uniquely combines evaluation laboratories and
workshops with research presentations, panels, poster and demo sessions
interleaved during three and a half days of intense and stimulating
research activities. CLEF 2015 will be the sixth edition of the current
CLEF conference launched as a continuation of the annual CLEF evaluation
campaign series which ran with great success from 2000 to 2009
contributing to the systematic evaluation of information access systems,
primarily through experimentation on shared tasks.

CLEF 2015 will be held in September at the University of Toulouse,
France.  Researchers and practitioners from all areas of information
access and related communities are invited to submit proposals for
evaluation labs for consideration for inclusion in CLEF 2015. Lab
proposals will be reviewed by the lab selection committee. Authors of
selected proposals will be invited to include their lab in the CLEF 2015
lab programme, possibly subject to small suggested modifications to
their proposal to better suit the CLEF lab workflow or timeline.

About CLEF
----------
The CLEF Initiative (http://clef2015.clef-initiative.eu/) is a 
self-organized body whose main mission is to promote research, 
innovation, and development of information access systems with an 
emphasis on multilingual information in different modalities - including 
text and multimedia - with various levels of structure. CLEF promotes 
research and development by providing an infrastructure for:

* independent evaluation of information access systems;
* investigation of the use of unstructured, semi-structured, 
  highly-structured, and semantically enriched data in information
  access;
* creation of reusable test collections for benchmarking;
* exploration of new evaluation methodologies and innovative ways of 
  using experimental data;
* discussion of results, comparison of approaches, exchange of ideas, 
  and transfer of knowledge.

Scope of CLEF Labs
------------------
Proposals are accepted for two different types of “labs”:

* Evaluation Labs that are a “campaign-style” evaluation for specific
  information access problems (during the twelve month period preceding
  the conference), similar in nature to the traditional CLEF campaign
  “tracks” (see 2014 Labs at
  http://clef2014.clef-initiative.eu/). Topics covered by campaign-style
  labs can be inspired by any information access-related domain or task.

* Labs that follow a more classical “workshop” pattern, exploring issues
  of evaluation methodology, metrics, processes etc. in information
  access and closely related fields, such as natural language
  processing, machine translation, and human-computer interaction.

If the organisers of the proposal are new to CLEF or other shared task
evaluation campaigns, we highly recommend that a lab workshop first be
organised to discuss the format, the problem space, and the
practicalities of the shared task. The CLEF 2015 programme will reserve
about half of the conference schedule for lab sessions which will take
place within the conference in Toulouse. The labs will present their
overall results “overview presentations” during the plenary scientific
paper sessions to allow non-participants to get a sense of where the
research frontiers are moving. Organisers of each lab are expected to
organise the separate sessions for their lab at the conference so that
they contain ample time for general discussion and engagement by all
participants - not just those presenting campaign results and papers.
Organisers should plan time in their sessions for activities such as
panels, demos, poster sessions etc. as appropriate.

CLEF is always interested in receiving and facilitating innovate and
creative lab proposals. Potential task proposers who are unsure of the
suitability of their task proposal or its format for inclusion at CLEF
are encouraged to contact the CLEF 2015 Lab Organizing Committee Chairs
to discuss its suitability or design at an early stage.

Proposal Submission
-------------------
Lab proposals must provide sufficient information to enable to be able
to judge the relevance, timeliness, scientific quality, benefits for the
research community, and the competence of the proposers to co-ordinate
the lab. Each lab proposal should identify one or more organizers as
responsible for ensuring the timely execution of the lab.

Proposals should be 2-4 pages long and should provide the following 
information:

1. Title of the proposed lab.
2. A brief description of the lab topic and goals, its relevance to CLEF
   and the significance for the field.
3. A brief but clear statement of usage scenarios or domain to which the
   activity is intended to contribute, including the evaluation setup
   and metrics.
4. Details on the lab organizer(s), including identifying the task
   chair(s) responsible for the ensuring the running of the task. This
   should include details of any previous of involvement in organising
   or participating in evaluation tasks at CLEF or similar campaigns.
5. The planned format of the lab, i.e. campaign-style (“track”) or
   workshop.
7. A statement on the intended development/growth path if the proposal
   is for a continuation of activities previously undertaken at CLEF
   workshops.
8. Details of the expected target audience, i.e. who do you expect to
   participate in the task, and how do you propose to reach them.
9. The number of tasks to be carried out in a lab. The proposal should
   clearly motivate the need for each of the proposed tasks and provide
   evidence of its capability of attracting enough participation. It is
   fine for a lab to have a single task, but labs often contain multiple
   closely related tasks.
10. Expected length of the lab session at the conference: half-day, one
    day, two days. This should include very high level details of
    planned structure of the session, e.g. participant presentations,
    invited speaker(s), panels, etc, to justify the requested session
    length.
11. Arrangements for the organization of the lab campaign: who will be
    responsible for activities within the task; how will data to
    acquired or created, including highlighting any IP issues that need
    to be addressed to enable data to be distributed to lab
    participants; tools or methods which will be used, e.g. how will
    necessary queries be created or relevance assessment carried out;
    any other information which is relevant to the conduct of your lab.
12. If the lab proposes to set up a steering committee to oversee and
    advise its activities, include names, addresses, and homepage links
    of people your propose to be involved.

Reviewing Process
-----------------
Each submitted proposal will be reviewed by the CLEF 2015 lab organizing
committee.
The decision will be sent by email to the responsible organizer by 
September 19, 2014.
The final length of the lab session will be determined based on the
overall organization of the conference and the number of participant
submissions received by a lab. Reviewing criteria can be found on the
website of the conference - http://clef2015.clef-initiative.eu/ .

Important Dates
---------------
* Final lab proposals: 10 September 2014
* Notification of lab acceptance: 19 September 2014
* 3 November 2014: Labs registration opens

Submission Details
------------------
Lab proposals (or questions) should be submitted via e-mail (either 
plain text or PDF format, using “CLEF labs proposal” in the subject
line) to both Lab Organizing Committee Chairs:

What is "Semantic, Logics, Information Extraction and AI"?

Traditionally, the study of information extraction, knowledge processing
and language processing is performed by computer scientists,
specializing in the application of computers to the processing of a
natural language and large structured or semi-structured data-bases.

Today, people working in information extraction, knowledge processing,
and particularly in language processing often work as members of
interdisciplinary teams, including linguists (specifically trained in
linguistics), language experts (persons with some level of ability in
the languages relevant to a given project), statisticians, and computer
scientists. In general, computational linguistics draws upon the
involvement of linguists, computer scientists, experts in artificial
intelligence, mathematicians, logicians, cognitive scientists, cognitive
psychologists, psycholinguists, anthropologists and neuroscientists,
among others.

Information extraction as part of knowledge processing and language
processing, as well, must become more connected to the cognitive
sciences through the development of cognitive semantic
theories. Information extraction as part of knowledge processing is
connected to artificial intelligence through the development of methods
and algorithms for all aspects of language analysis and their computer
implementation. We can see language analysis divided into two parts:
theoretical analysis and application. The theoretical aspect includes
standard areas studied in linguistics methods as semantics, syntax, and
morphology or numerical methods as those used in information retrieval
or text-mining. Semantic theories guide the development of lexical
theories, syntactic theories and morphology. Semantic theories can be
based on some specific features of computation, but at the present stage
of research, there is a gap between linguistic analysis and computer
applications in two senses: there are many computer applications without
linguistic theoretical support and, conversely, there are a number of
theoretical methods with no computer implementation. Semantic as part of
computational linguistic and language processing is very related to the
logic and to logics. If we accept the hypothesis that there is a logic
of language and logics of natural languages, the upstream of each
algorithm or method representing the basis of a AI system of language
analysis is a logic and a semantic. The downstream of semantic analysis
can be found in translation, automatic text generation and even
automatic annotation of texts or information retrieval. Generally, the
knowledge processing and particularly, the information extraction must
take into account this epistemological chain for to lead to effective,
robust and reliable systems.

What is the GOAL of the track?

This track is intended to present works ranking from logical,
mathematical, and statistical models in syntax and semantics (logic of
objects, topological theories of time and space, lexical associations,
etc.) as foundations of the design and analysis to knowledge processing
and natural language processing systems and especially to information
extraction.


Who might be interested?

Special tracks, held in parallel with the general conference, are an
integral part of the conference. They provide researchers in focused
areas the opportunity to meet and present their work, and offer a forum
for interaction among the broader community of artificial intelligence
researchers.

Topics of interest are in all areas related to artificial intelligence.

What kind of studies will be of interest?

Papers and contributions are encouraged for any work relating to
Semantic, Logics and Information Extraction in AI. Topics of interest
may include (but are in no way limited to):


1. Philosophy of language - new developments,
2. Cognitive semantics,
3. Logics of language,
4. Language modeling,
5. Computational linguistics (lexicology; morphology; syntax;
   semantics),
6. Information extraction,
7. Domain ontologies, linguistic ontologies,
8. Knowledge processing,
9.  Translation,
10. Text-mining.

Note: We invite original papers (i.e. work not previously submitted, in
submission, or to be submitted to another conference during the
reviewing process).

Invited Speaker : To be announced

Interested authors should format their papers according to AAAI
formatting
guidelines<http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php>. The
papers should be original work (i.e., not submitted, in submission, or
submitted to another conference while in review). Papers should not
exceed 6 pages (4 pages for a poster) and are due by November 17,
2014. For FLAIRS-28, the 2015 conference, the reviewing is a double
blind process. Fake author names and affiliations must be used on
submitted papers to provide double-blind reviewing. Papers must be
submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system, which can be
accessed through the main conference web site
(http://www.flairs-28.info/). Note: do not use a fake name for your
EasyChair login - your EasyChair account information is hidden from
reviewers. Authors should indicate the [your track name] special track
for submissions. The proceedings of FLAIRS will be published by the
AAAI. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form
transferring copyright of their contribution to AAAI. FLAIRS requires
that there be at least one full author registration per paper.

Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the
conference proceedings, which will be published by AAAI Press.

Au sein du CEA LIST, le Laboratoire LVIC (Vision et Ingénierie des
Contenus) a développé une plate-forme de traitement linguistique, LIMA,
récemment mise en ligne avec une licence AGPL,
https://github.com/aymara/lima.

L'équipe propose un CDD de 2 ans pour développer des outils de
constitution de ressources linguistiques à partir de corpus. Le poste
est ouvert dès le début septembre 2014.

Les traitements linguistiques de base s’appuient sur des ressources
linguistiques (typiquement des dictionnaires de la langue, des documents
annotés) produites le plus souvent manuellement. Ces ressources sont
disponibles pour des langues des pays avancés et économiquement forts
(en premier lieu l’anglais, le français, l’allemand, le chinois, le
coréen, etc.). Pour les autres langues, dites peu dotées, on ne dispose
pas de ces ressources et les produire manuellement est à la fois très
coûteux, très long et nécessite l’intervention sur une longue période
d’une personne qui maîtrise la grammaire et l’usage de cette langue.
L’objectif des travaux est de développer des outils de constitution de
ressources linguistiques (jeu d’étiquette morpho-syntaxique,
dictionnaires morphologiques) en s’appuyant sur des techniques
d’apprentissage non-supervisé ou peu supervisé. La qualité des
ressources produites seront évaluées dans des tâches classique de
traitements linguistiques (analyse morphologique, désambiguïsation
morpho-syntaxique, extraction d’entités nommées) et jusqu'à la recherche
d’information.

À partir d’un corpus de texte ciblant une langue et un type de texte les
outils visés doivent permettre de produire de façon économique le
lexique intensionnel décrivant la langue du corpus. On exclut donc les
méthodes purement manuelles. On s'appuiera au contraire sur les
techniques d'apprentissages telles qu'elles ont été expérimentées dans
les dans le cadre des workshops Morpho Challenge ou de programme de
recherche de l'IARPA Babel.

Le travail du CDD consistera plus particulièrement à :

- étudier, implémenter et évaluer des outils de constitution de lexiques
  à partir de corpus pour produire des dictionnaires morphologique en
  plusieurs étapes: segmentation basée sur des analyses statistique des
  graphies des tokens, identification d'un jeu d'étiquette
  morpho-syntaxiques à partir des contextes d'usage, annotation
  automatique en mode non supervisé, définition de classes
  flexionnelles.
- étudier et évaluer des techniques de nettoyage des dictionnaires
  produits;
- évaluer les ressources linguistiques produites dans des tâches de base
  de traitements linguistiques (analyse morphologique, annotation 'POS',
  extraction d’entités nommées, recherche d’information) sur des langues
  dotées (français anglais, arabe).

Profil recherché:

- Connaissance des techniques d'apprentissage (méthode bayésiennes, SVM,
  CRF, clustering, représentation)
- Compétences informatiques : C++, langages de script (perl, python ...)
- Compétences ou intérêt pour le traitement automatique des langues

La dominante du poste est le développement mais l'ingénieur/docteur
recruté sera intégré dans une équipe de recherche.

Rémunération selon formation et expérience.
Lieu de travail : centre d’intégration NanoInnov (plateau de Saclay, 
proche de Polytechnique)

7th International Workshop on Semantic Web Applications and Tools for
the Life Sciences (SWAT4LS 2014) Berlin, Germany Dec. 9-10th, 2014

http://www.swat4ls.org/workshops/berlin2014

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

Overview

Since 2008, the SWAT4LS Workshop has provided a platform for the
presentation and discussion of the benefits and limits of applying
web-based information systems and semantic technologies in the domains
of health care and life sciences. SWAT4LS has been held in Edinburgh
(2008), Amsterdam (2009), Berlin (2010), London (2011), Paris (2012) and
Edinburgh (2013).

The next edition of SWAT4LS will be held in Berlin, Germany, on December
9 - 11, 2014. It will be articulated in a tutorials day (9th), a main
workshop day (10th) and an hackathon day (11th).

We are confident that the next edition of SWAT4LS will provide the same
open and stimulating environment that has previously brought together
researchers, developers, and users, from various fields including
eHealth, biomedical and clinical informatics, radiation oncology,
systems biology, computational biology, drug discovery, bioinformatics
and biocomputing, to discuss goals, current limits and real experiences
with Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies in health care and the
life sciences.

________________________________________

Rationale 

The Web is a key medium for information publishing, and Web-based
information systems play a key role in biomedical information exchange
and data integration. The Semantic Web in particular provides a set of
interoperable standards and technologies that support knowledge
representation, ontology development, machine reasoning, data mining,
machine learning, distributed information resources, and collaborative
research environments.

The variety and complexity of biomedical information requires these kind
of technologies and altogether, the adoption of the Web-based semantic
technologies in health care and the life sciences is having an impact on
publishing, as well as biological and clinical research.

This workshop will provide a venue to present and discuss the benefits
and limits of adoption of these technologies. It will showcase
experiences, information resources, tool development and
applications. It will bring together researchers, both developers and
users, from biology, bioinformatics, computer science, and the clinic to
discuss goals, current limits and use cases for Semantic Web
technologies.

*********************************************
CLEF 2015 - Call for Labs proposals
-----------------------------------------

http://clef2015.clef-initiative.eu/

Toulouse, France, September 8 - 11, 2015

Important Dates
---------------
* Final lab proposals: 10 September 2014
* Notification of lab acceptance: 19 September 2014
* 3 November 2014: Labs registration opens

CLEF is a leading annual international conference exploring topics in
information access technologies.
The CLEF Conference uniquely combines evaluation laboratories and
workshops with research presentations, panels, poster and demo sessions
interleaved during three and a half days of intense and stimulating
research activities. CLEF 2015 will be the sixth edition of the current
CLEF conference launched as a continuation of the annual CLEF evaluation
campaign series which ran with great success from 2000 to 2009
contributing to the systematic evaluation of information access systems,
primarily through experimentation on shared tasks.

CLEF 2015 will be held in September at the University of Toulouse,
France.  Researchers and practitioners from all areas of information
access and related communities are invited to submit proposals for
evaluation labs for consideration for inclusion in CLEF 2015. Lab
proposals will be reviewed by the lab selection committee. Authors of
selected proposals will be invited to include their lab in the CLEF 2015
lab programme, possibly subject to small suggested modifications to
their proposal to better suit the CLEF lab workflow or timeline.

About CLEF
----------
The CLEF Initiative (http://clef2015.clef-initiative.eu/) is a
self-organized body whose main mission is to promote research,
innovation, and development of information access systems with an
emphasis on multilingual information in different modalities - including
text and multimedia - with various levels of structure. CLEF promotes
research and development by providing an infrastructure for:

* independent evaluation of information access systems;
* investigation of the use of unstructured, semi-structured, 
  highly-structured, and semantically enriched data in information
  access;
* creation of reusable test collections for benchmarking;
* exploration of new evaluation methodologies and innovative ways of 
  using experimental data;
* discussion of results, comparison of approaches, exchange of ideas, 
  and transfer of knowledge.

Scope of CLEF Labs
------------------
Proposals are accepted for two different types of “labs”:

* Evaluation Labs that are a “campaign-style” evaluation for specific
  information access problems (during the twelve month period preceding
  the conference), similar in nature to the traditional CLEF campaign
  “tracks” (see 2014 Labs at
  http://clef2014.clef-initiative.eu/). Topics covered by campaign-style
  labs can be inspired by any information access-related domain or task.
* Labs that follow a more classical “workshop” pattern, exploring issues
  of evaluation methodology, metrics, processes etc. in information
  access and closely related fields, such as natural language
  processing, machine translation, and human-computer interaction.

If the organisers of the proposal are new to CLEF or other shared task
evaluation campaigns, we highly recommend that a lab workshop first be
organised to discuss the format, the problem space, and the
practicalities of the shared task. The CLEF 2015 programme will reserve
about half of the conference schedule for lab sessions which will take
place within the conference in Toulouse. The labs will present their
overall results “overview presentations” during the plenary scientific
paper sessions to allow non-participants to get a sense of where the
research frontiers are moving. Organisers of each lab are expected to
organise the separate sessions for their lab at the conference so that
they contain ample time for general discussion and engagement by all
participants - not just those presenting campaign results and papers.
Organisers should plan time in their sessions for activities such as
panels, demos, poster sessions etc. as appropriate.

CLEF is always interested in receiving and facilitating innovate and
creative lab proposals. Potential task proposers who are unsure of the
suitability of their task proposal or its format for inclusion at CLEF
are encouraged to contact the CLEF 2015 Lab Organizing Committee Chairs
to discuss its suitability or design at an early stage.

Proposal Submission
-------------------
Lab proposals must provide sufficient information to enable to be able
to judge the relevance, timeliness, scientific quality, benefits for the
research community, and the competence of the proposers to co-ordinate
the lab. Each lab proposal should identify one or more organizers as
responsible for ensuring the timely execution of the lab.

Proposals should be 2-4 pages long and should provide the following
information:

1. Title of the proposed lab.
2. A brief description of the lab topic and goals, its relevance to CLEF
   and the significance for the field.
3. A brief but clear statement of usage scenarios or domain to which the
   activity is intended to contribute, including the evaluation setup
   and metrics.
4. Details on the lab organizer(s), including identifying the task
   chair(s) responsible for the ensuring the running of the task. This
   should include details of any previous of involvement in organising
   or participating in evaluation tasks at CLEF or similar campaigns.
5. The planned format of the lab, i.e. campaign-style (“track”) or
   workshop.
7. A statement on the intended development/growth path if the proposal
   is for a continuation of activities previously undertaken at CLEF
   workshops.
8. Details of the expected target audience, i.e. who do you expect to
   participate in the task, and how do you propose to reach them.

9. The number of tasks to be carried out in a lab. The proposal should
   clearly motivate the need for each of the proposed tasks and provide
   evidence of its capability of attracting enough participation. It is
   fine for a lab to have a single task, but labs often contain multiple
   closely related tasks.
10. Expected length of the lab session at the conference: half-day, one
   day, two days. This should include very high level details of planned
   structure of the session, e.g. participant presentations, invited
   speaker(s), panels, etc, to justify the requested session length.
11. Arrangements for the organization of the lab campaign: who will be
   responsible for activities within the task; how will data to acquired
   or created, including highlighting any IP issues that need to be
   addressed to enable data to be distributed to lab participants; tools
   or methods which will be used, e.g. how will necessary queries be
   created or relevance assessment carried out; any other information
   which is relevant to the conduct of your lab.
12. If the lab proposes to set up a steering committee to oversee and
   advise its activities, include names, addresses, and homepage links
   of people your propose to be involved.

Reviewing Process
-----------------
Each submitted proposal will be reviewed by the CLEF 2015 lab organizing
committee.
The decision will be sent by email to the responsible organizer by
September 19, 2014.
The final length of the lab session will be determined based on the
overall organization of the conference and the number of participant
submissions received by a lab. Reviewing criteria can be found on the
website of the conference - http://clef2015.clef-initiative.eu/ .

Important Dates
---------------
* Final lab proposals: 10 September 2014
* Notification of lab acceptance: 19 September 2014
* 3 November 2014: Labs registration opens

Submission Details
------------------
Lab proposals (or questions) should be submitted via e-mail (either
plain text or PDF format, using “CLEF labs proposal” in the subject
line) to both Lab Organizing Committee Chairs:

Chers collègues

Le Cercle Linguistique du Centre et de l'Ouest organise ses quatrièmes
Ateliers d'Eté à l'Université de La Rochelle les 26 et 27 septembre
prochains autour de la question suivante : "Pourquoi faire de la
linguistique ?"

Afin d'aborder cette question, nous avons choisi trois points de vue,
qui reflettent prioritairement les relations entre champs disciplinaires
: sociolinguistique, stylistique et modélisation théorique. Les
tables-rondes vont ainsi décliner trois aspects de la question des
raisons de la linguistique : pourquoi faire de la sociolinguistique ?
pourquoi faire de la linguistique textuelle ? pourquoi et comment
théoriser en linguistique ?

Au plaisir de vous retrouver à La Rochelle,

Bien cordialement
Gilles Col

of data and vocabularies published on the web in order to search,
analyze, disambiguate and structure textual knowledge in a smart way,
but also to feed internal information sources; reasoning on the
combination of internal and public data and schemes, query and
presentation of data and inferences in natural formats.
 
*Profile*

Holding a Master or a PhD in Computer Science, you have experience in
NLP, Semantic Web or in a related field (artificial intelligence,
machine learning...). Your hands-on experience of at least one
programming language (e.g. Java, C++) gives you autonomy in completing
all your technical tasks. Self-motivated, goal-oriented and you like
working in an international team.
Pragmatic and customer oriented.

Any of the following would be a plus: background of the technology and
techniques used in Semantic Web (RDF framework, SPARQL query language),
good control of scripting tools (bash, Unix/Linux tools) and of web
languages (HTML, XML), experience with automation of NLP processing
chains, fluent in French.

Project duration: until January 2017
Deadline: 1st October 2014 but open until filled

/Revue SCOLIA n°28/ :

"Actes rassurants, actes menaçants : sémantique et pragmatique de
l'interaction verbale"

Coordonné par Olga Galatanu, Abdelhadi Bellachhab, Ana-Maria Cozma

L’objectif de ce numéro est d’argumenter et illustrer une approche
complémentaire à celles, bien connues et reconnues en pragmatique, de
l’interaction verbale : une sémantique de l’interaction verbale
susceptible de rendre compte des représentations des actes de langage et
des savoirs langagiers déclaratifs concernant leur réalisation
linguistique, dans différents contextes culturels et linguistiques. Dans
cette double perspective théorique, le numéro propose l’analyse de
plusieurs actes de langage dans une zone d’expérience humaine sensible,
celle de la manifestation et/ou de la provocation des affects positifs
(actes rassurants) et des affects négatifs (actes menaçants).

/Fondée par Georges Kleiber en 1994, Scolia est une revue annuelle de
l’Université de Strasbourg qui accueille des études originales et
innovantes relevant des différents secteurs des Sciences du langage et
portant sur la linguistique française et la linguistique générale./

Call for Posters
Translating and the Computer 36
London, 27 and 28 November 2014

The Translating and the Computer conference
(http://www.translatingandthecomputer.com/) encourages submissions for
poster presentations to supplement the regular presentations of the
conference. Posters are expected to present ongoing and not necessarily
completed research, teaching or training activity, practical work,
software programs, projects or developments in general related to
translation, interpretation and terminology, and to the related
industries.

The Translating and the Computer conference is a unique forum for
researchers, developers and users. It brings together academics involved
in language technology research and in teaching translation and
terminology with those who develop and market tools for language
transformation and both of these groups with users: translators,
terminologists, interpreters, and voice-over specialists, whether
freelancers or working in translation departments of large organisations
such as those of the European Parliament, European courts and the
European Patent Office, the United Nations family, international
companies and other organisations, and Language Services Providers
(LSPs), large and small.

In its 36th session Translating and the Computer has moved from ASLIB to
ASLING. The conference often referred to as the ?ASLIB Conference? is
now the ASLING Translating and the Computer Conference. One of the new
developments is also the launch of a poster session in addition to the
regular presentation slots.

Poster proposals in the form of poster abstracts not exceeding 500 words
(the final versions of the accepted posters can be up to 1,500 words)
must be submitted using the START system at the following address:
https://www.softconf.com/e/tc2014, adding the text ?Poster:? at the
start of the ?Title of Submission: ? field in the online submission
form.

Accepted poster papers will be included (and will have the have the same
status as regular papers) in the conference proceedings only after the
registration fee for at least one presenter of the paper has been paid.

Important dates
Deadline for poster submissions: 8 August 2014
Notification of acceptance or rejection: 22 August 2014
Camera-ready poster papers due: 3 October
Conference: 27 and 28 November 2014

Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2014 23:27:20 +0200
Subject: Job: Postdoc,
 Etude du dialogue vocal et tactile avec les objets connectes,
 Orange Labs Lannion
Message-ID: <FRI.1.AUG.2014.232720.0200.HAMON@LIMSI.FR>

Mission :
Dans le cadre de ses activit?s de recherche, Orange Labs recrute un
post-doctorant dans le domaine des interfaces naturelles avec les objets
connect?s.

L'?quipe NADIA (NAtural DIAlogue) comprend huit collaborateurs, ainsi
que trois doctorants et un post-doctorant. La mission de NADIA est la
maintenance, le d?veloppement et la recherche concernant le dialogue en
g?n?ral et la suite logicielle Disserto en particulier. Disserto est une
technologie de dialogue interne ? Orange, ayant servi ? d?velopper des
dizaines d'applications vocales r?coltant pr?s de 200M d'appels par an.

Le post-doctorat propos? s'inscrit dans le contexte de l'internet des
objets et de l'interaction avec ces objets. Le nombre d'objets connect?s
? Internet est en forte croissance et devrait atteindre plusieurs
milliards ? l'horizon 2020. Fournis avec une API et leur application
d?di?e, ces objets connect?s ont un comportement d?fini par d?faut (ex :
fourniture de temp?rature et de niveau d'humidit? par une station m?t?o,
mesure de fr?quence cardiaque par un capteur de pression art?rielle,
etc) et communiquent avec un smartphone ou une tablette via une liaison
bluetooth ou wifi.

Ce post-doctorat se focalisera sur les interactions avec les objets
connect?s via les ? wearable devices ? (montres ou lunettes connect?es),
et visera ? investiguer deux angles de recherche centr?s sur le dialogue
homme/machine dans l'environnement domestique : la configuration et
l'utilisation d'un objet connect? :


1. Comment configurer par un dialogue vocal/tactile le comportement
   attendu d'un nouvel objet connect? ?

   D?s que l'utilisateur veut personnaliser le comportement de son objet
   connect?, il lui est n?cessaire d'utiliser les fonctions de l'API et
   de param?trer lui-m?me le comportement attendu (ex avec un
   visioportier : ?tre averti d'une intrusion dans la maison). Cette
   ?tape peut ?tre tr?s complexe en fonction des objets, voire
   totalement impossible pour la plupart des utilisateurs. Une
   configuration de l'objet connect? par un dialogue automatique peut
   ?tre une r?ponse adapt?e ? cette difficult?.



2. Comment dialoguer avec un objet connect? (muni d'une application) ?

   Une fois configur?, l'objet connect? doit non seulement avoir le
   comportement d?fini par l'utilisateur, mais aussi interagir avec
   l'utilisateur de mani?re adapt?e. En fonction du type d'objet, un
   dialogue vocal peut se r?v?ler plus efficace qu'une interface tactile
   (ex avec un visioportier : demander ? visionner la vid?o de tel jour
   ? telle heure). La mise en place d'une interface ? base de dialogue
   naturel entre l'utilisateur et l'objet pour l'utilisation cet objet
   constitue l'autre volet du sujet de post-doctorat.

Selon le candidat retenu, le sujet de post-doctorat pourra ?tre focalis?
sur l'un de ces deux angles de recherche. Apr?s une phase d'analyse de
l'existant et des usages, le candidat retenu prototypera une application
? base de dialogue naturel. Tout au long de ce travail, un approche
centr?e utilisateur sera privil?gi?e.

Les travaux men?s pourront faire l'objet de publications dans des
conf?rences internationales.

Profil :
Etre titulaire d'un doctorat en informatique.

Comp?tences en programmation : d?veloppement Andro?d
Exp?riences fortement appr?ci?es : dialogue homme/machine en langage
naturel, domotique, outils de l'environnement domestique, internet des
objets, traitement automatique des langues

Comp?tences transverses : analyse, travail en ?quipe, anglais courant
indispensable, autonomie

Forte motivation, collaboration au sein d'une ?quipe

==================
About the Workshop
==================

Computational Terminology covers an increasingly important aspect in
Natural Language Processing areas such as text mining, information
retrieval, information extraction, summarisation, textual entailment,
document management systems, question-answering systems, ontology
building, etc. Terminological information is paramount for knowledge
mining from texts for scientific discovery and competitive
intelligence. Scientific needs in fast growing domains (such as
biomedicine, chemistry and ecology) and the overwhelming amount of
textual data published daily demand that terminology is acquired and
managed systematically and automatically; while in well established
domains (such as law, economy, banking and music) the demand is on
fine-grained analyses of documents for knowledge description and
acquisition. Moreover, capturing new concepts leads to the acquisition
and management of new knowledge.

The aim of this fourth CompuTerm workshop is to bring together Natural
Language Processing researchers to discuss recent advances in
computational terminology and its impact in many NLP applications. The
topics addressed in this workshop are wide ranging:

- term extraction, recognition and filtering, which is the core of the
  terminological activity that lays basis for other terminological
  topics and tasks;

- event recognition and extraction, that extends the notion of the
  terminological entity from terms meaning static units up to terms
  meaning procedural and dynamic processes;

- acquisition of semantic relations among terms, which is also an
  important research topic as the acquisition of semantic relationships
  between terms finds applications such as the population and update of
  existing knowledge bases, definition of domain specific templates in
  information extraction and disambiguation of terms;

- term variation management, that helps to deal with the dynamic nature
  of terms, their acquisition from heterogeneous sources, their
  integration, standardisation and representation for a large range of
  applications and resources, is also increasingly important, as one has
  to address this research problem when working with various controlled
  vocabularies, thesauri, ontologies and textual data. Term variation is
  also related to their paraphrases and reformulations, due to
  historical, regional, local or personal issues. Besides, the discovery
  of synonym terms or term clusters is equally beneficial to many NLP
  applications;

- definition acquisition, that covers important research and aims to
  provide precise and nonambiguous description of terminological
  entities.  Such definitions may contain elements necessary for the
  formal description of terms and concepts within ontologies;

- consideration of the user expertise, that is becoming a new issue in
  the terminological activity, takes into account the fact that
  specialized domains contain notions and terms often nonunderstandable
  to non-experts or to laymen (such as patients within the medical area,
  or bank clients within banking and economy areas). This aspect,
  although related to specialized areas, provides direct link between
  specialized languages and general language;

- systematic terminology management and updating domain specific
  dictionaries and thesauri, that are important aspects for maintaining
  the existing terminological resources. These aspects become crucial
  because the amount of the existing terminological resources is
  constantly increasing and because their perennial and efficient use
  depends on their maintenance and updating, while their re-acquisition
  is costly and often non-reproducible;

- monolingual and multilingual resources, that open the possibility for
  developing cross-lingual and multi-lingual applications, requires
  specific corpora, methods and tools which design and evaluation are
  challenging issues;

- robustness and portability of methods, which allows to apply methods
  developed in one given context to other contexts (corpora, domains,
  languages, etc.) and to share the research expertise among them;

- social netwoks and modern media processing, that attracts an
  increasing number of researchers and that provides challenging
  material to be processed;

- utilization of terminologies in various NLP applications, as they are
  a necessary component of any NLP system dealing with domain-specific
  literature, is another novel and challenging research direction.

The workshop submissions are open to different approaches, ranging from
term extraction in various languages (using verb co-occurrence,
information theoretic approaches, machine learning, etc.), translation
pairs extracting from bilingual corpora based on terminology, up to
semantic oriented approaches and theoretical aspects of
terminology. Besides, experiments on the evaluation of terminological
methods and tools are also encouraged since they provide interesting and
useful proof about the utility of terminological resources:

- direct evaluation may concern the efficiency of the terminological
  methods and tools to capture the terminological entities and
  relations, as well as various kinds of related information;

- indirect evaluation may concern the use of terminological resources in
  various NLP applications and the impact these resources have on the
  performance of the automatic systems. In this case, research and
  competition tracks (such as TREC, BioCreative, CLEF, CLEF-eHealth,
  I2B2, *SEM, and other shared tasks), provide particularly fruitful
  evaluation contexts and proved very successful in identifying key
  problems in terminology such as term variation and ambiguity.

             CONTRAT DOCTORAL LABEX EFL : OPTIMISATION POUR
                   L'ANALYSE SYNTAXIQUE ET S?MANTIQUE



Le LabEx EFL (Empirical Foundations of Linguistics, site
[http://www.labex-efl.org/]) offre un contrat doctoral de 3 ans.

Le sujet propos? concerne l'utilisation de m?thodes d'optimisation pour
l'analyse syntaxique profonde et l'analyse s?mantique. En particulier,
on d?sire ?tudier l'applicabilit? de m?thodes comme la relaxation
lagrangienne pour d?river de nouveaux algorithmes d'analyse
syntaxique/s?mantique.

Ces m?thodes d'optimisation sont depuis quelques temps appliqu?es ? de
nombreux probl?mes en TAL (traduction automatique, analyse syntaxique,
analyse s?mantique, r?sum? automatique entre autres). Le travail de
recherche s'orientera dans une premier temps vers l'application de ces
m?thodes aux algorithmes d'analyse dans les grammaires d'arbres
adjoints. Dans un second temps on ?tudiera l'int?gration les calculs
s?mantiques ? cette approche. Plus de d?tails
[http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/~leroux/phd-nlp-optim.pdf]

L'?tudiant effectuera ses recherches au sein du LIPN (Laboratoire

recherches. Plus de 130 membres participent aux activit?s du laboratoire
dont 78 chercheurs ou enseignants-chercheurs permanents. Le LIPN fait
partie du p?le MathSTIC, un centre de recherche dans les domaines
math?matiques et sciences et technologies de l'information et de la
communication. Le doctorant rejoindra l'?quipe RCLN dont les th?matiques
de recherches sont centr?es autour des textes, du traitement automatique
des langues ? la repr?sentation des connaissances en passant par la
recherche d'information s?mantique et la fouille de textes.

Le doctorant sera encadr? par Joseph Le Roux, Ma?tre de Conf?rences, et
supervis? par Adeline Nazarenko, Professeur des Universit?s. Il d?pendra

An Information Extraction Platform For Ontology Engineering

The Orpailleur team offers a 1-year post-doctoral position in Nancy,
France, starting in Autumn 2014. This project aims at improving existing
tools and developing a complete platform of information extraction that
annotates texts in an rdf (or similar) format. The result of this
process should be used to build an ontology but this is out of the scope
of this project. However, in order to fulfill requirements coming from
the ontological level, the EI process may be progressively improved,
i.e. discovering new entities, new features or new relations. Thus,
experts that guide the process should be able to interact with the IE
platform and apply some data mining tools and machine learning methods
to identify new feature of interest.

Candidates applying for this position should have a PhD in Computer
Sciences with a good background in Natural Language Processing and
Information Extraction. Knowledge about Data Mining and Machine Learning
would be greatly appreciated. In addition, abilities and experience in
programming in C, C++ or Java are wished. This work comes within the
scope of the "Hybride ANR Project" which aims at extracting from PubMed
texts some knowledge about rares diseases. The candidate will have to
work jointly with another post-doc researcher on Formal Concept Analysis
that will be in charge of conceptualizing the ontology.

LORIA lab is located in Nancy, East of France. It is among the largest
computer science research laboratories in France involving several
research organizations such as CNRS, INRIA Nancy Grand Est and Lorraine
University. It is a very large and challenging research environment with
29 research teams and excellent computing facilities. Working languages
are French or English.

Formal Concept Analysis For Ontology Engineering

The Orpailleur team offers a 1-year post-doctoral position in Nancy,
France, starting in Autumn 2014. This project aims at improving existing
tools and developing new tools based on Formal Concept Analysis for
building ontologies from structured textual data. Several tracks could
be explored. One of them consists in studying the reduction of a concept
lattices, i.e. check whether the high number of concepts in a concept
lattice can be only represented by attribute concepts and object
concepts (also known as the AOC-poset, which can provide a good
conceptualization of the domain). Another track aims at using extensions
of Formal Concept Analysis, namely Relational Concept Analysis and
Pattern Structures, to model more complex phenomena in knowledge
representation (such as relational aspects). Moreover, providing domain
experts with interaction facilities at the lattice level, introducing
metrics in the lattice (stability?) are also other possible directions
of investigation. The work will involve both theoretical and programming
aspects leading to the development of a running prototype.

Candidates applying for this position should have a PhD in Computer
Sciences with a good background in Knowledge Discovery (Formal Concept
Analysis) and Knowledge Representation. In addition, abilities and
experience in programming in C, C++ or Java are wished.

This work comes within the scope of the "Hybride ANR Project" which aims
at extracting from PubMed texts some knowledge about rares diseases. The

Natural Language Processing that will be in charge of producing
structured data from texts.

CLEF 2015 - Call for Labs proposals
-----------------------------------------

http://clef2015.clef-initiative.eu/

Toulouse, France, September 8 - 11, 2015

Important Dates
---------------
* Final lab proposals: 10 September 2014
* Notification of lab acceptance: 19 September 2014
* 3 November 2014: Labs registration opens

CLEF is a leading annual international conference exploring topics in
information access technologies.
The CLEF Conference uniquely combines evaluation laboratories and
workshops with research presentations, panels, poster and demo sessions
interleaved during three and a half days of intense and stimulating
research activities. CLEF 2015 will be the sixth edition of the current
CLEF conference launched as a continuation of the annual CLEF evaluation
campaign series which ran with great success from 2000 to 2009
contributing to the systematic evaluation of information access systems,
primarily through experimentation on shared tasks.

CLEF 2015 will be held in September at the University of Toulouse,
France.  Researchers and practitioners from all areas of information
access and related communities are invited to submit proposals for
evaluation labs for consideration for inclusion in CLEF 2015. Lab
proposals will be reviewed by the lab selection committee. Authors of
selected proposals will be invited to include their lab in the CLEF 2015
lab programme, possibly subject to small suggested modifications to
their proposal to better suit the CLEF lab workflow or timeline.

About CLEF
----------
The CLEF Initiative (http://clef2015.clef-initiative.eu/) is a 
self-organized body whose main mission is to promote research, 
innovation, and development of information access systems with an 
emphasis on multilingual information in different modalities - including 
text and multimedia - with various levels of structure. CLEF promotes 
research and development by providing an infrastructure for:

* independent evaluation of information access systems;
* investigation of the use of unstructured, semi-structured, 
  highly-structured, and semantically enriched data in information
  access;
* creation of reusable test collections for benchmarking;
* exploration of new evaluation methodologies and innovative ways of 
  using experimental data;
* discussion of results, comparison of approaches, exchange of ideas, 
  and transfer of knowledge.

Scope of CLEF Labs
------------------
Proposals are accepted for two different types of ?labs?:

* Evaluation Labs that are a ?campaign-style? evaluation for specific
  information access problems (during the twelve month period preceding
  the conference), similar in nature to the traditional CLEF campaign
  ?tracks? (see 2014 Labs at
  http://clef2014.clef-initiative.eu/). Topics covered by campaign-style
  labs can be inspired by any information access-related domain or task.

* Labs that follow a more classical ?workshop? pattern, exploring issues
  of evaluation methodology, metrics, processes etc. in information
  access and closely related fields, such as natural language
  processing, machine translation, and human-computer interaction.

If the organisers of the proposal are new to CLEF or other shared task
evaluation campaigns, we highly recommend that a lab workshop first be
organised to discuss the format, the problem space, and the
practicalities of the shared task. The CLEF 2015 programme will reserve
about half of the conference schedule for lab sessions which will take
place within the conference in Toulouse. The labs will present their
overall results ?overview presentations? during the plenary scientific
paper sessions to allow non-participants to get a sense of where the
research frontiers are moving. Organisers of each lab are expected to
organise the separate sessions for their lab at the conference so that
they contain ample time for general discussion and engagement by all
participants - not just those presenting campaign results and papers.
Organisers should plan time in their sessions for activities such as
panels, demos, poster sessions etc. as appropriate.

CLEF is always interested in receiving and facilitating innovate and
creative lab proposals. Potential task proposers who are unsure of the
suitability of their task proposal or its format for inclusion at CLEF
are encouraged to contact the CLEF 2015 Lab Organizing Committee Chairs
to discuss its suitability or design at an early stage.

Proposal Submission
-------------------
Lab proposals must provide sufficient information to enable to be able
to judge the relevance, timeliness, scientific quality, benefits for the
research community, and the competence of the proposers to co-ordinate
the lab. Each lab proposal should identify one or more organizers as
responsible for ensuring the timely execution of the lab.

Proposals should be 2-4 pages long and should provide the following 
information:

1. Title of the proposed lab.
2. A brief description of the lab topic and goals, its relevance to CLEF
   and the significance for the field.
3. A brief but clear statement of usage scenarios or domain to which the
   activity is intended to contribute, including the evaluation setup
   and metrics.
4. Details on the lab organizer(s), including identifying the task
   chair(s) responsible for the ensuring the running of the task. This
   should include details of any previous of involvement in organising
   or participating in evaluation tasks at CLEF or similar campaigns.
5. The planned format of the lab, i.e. campaign-style (?track?) or
   workshop.
7. A statement on the intended development/growth path if the proposal
   is for a continuation of activities previously undertaken at CLEF
   workshops.
8. Details of the expected target audience, i.e. who do you expect to
   participate in the task, and how do you propose to reach them.
9. The number of tasks to be carried out in a lab. The proposal should
   clearly motivate the need for each of the proposed tasks and provide
   evidence of its capability of attracting enough participation. It is
   fine for a lab to have a single task, but labs often contain multiple
   closely related tasks.
10. Expected length of the lab session at the conference: half-day, one
    day, two days. This should include very high level details of
    planned structure of the session, e.g. participant presentations,
    invited speaker(s), panels, etc, to justify the requested session
    length.
11. Arrangements for the organization of the lab campaign: who will be
    responsible for activities within the task; how will data to
    acquired or created, including highlighting any IP issues that need
    to be addressed to enable data to be distributed to lab
    participants; tools or methods which will be used, e.g. how will
    necessary queries be created or relevance assessment carried out;
    any other information which is relevant to the conduct of your lab.
12. If the lab proposes to set up a steering committee to oversee and
    advise its activities, include names, addresses, and homepage links
    of people your propose to be involved.

Reviewing Process
-----------------
Each submitted proposal will be reviewed by the CLEF 2015 lab organizing
committee.
The decision will be sent by email to the responsible organizer by 
September 19, 2014.
The final length of the lab session will be determined based on the
overall organization of the conference and the number of participant
submissions received by a lab. Reviewing criteria can be found on the
website of the conference - http://clef2015.clef-initiative.eu/ .

What is "Semantic, Logics, Information Extraction and AI"?

Traditionally, the study of information extraction, knowledge processing
and language processing is performed by computer scientists,
specializing in the application of computers to the processing of a
natural language and large structured or semi-structured data-bases.

Today, people working in information extraction, knowledge processing,
and particularly in language processing often work as members of
interdisciplinary teams, including linguists (specifically trained in
linguistics), language experts (persons with some level of ability in
the languages relevant to a given project), statisticians, and computer
scientists. In general, computational linguistics draws upon the
involvement of linguists, computer scientists, experts in artificial
intelligence, mathematicians, logicians, cognitive scientists, cognitive
psychologists, psycholinguists, anthropologists and neuroscientists,
among others.

Information extraction as part of knowledge processing and language
processing, as well, must become more connected to the cognitive
sciences through the development of cognitive semantic
theories. Information extraction as part of knowledge processing is
connected to artificial intelligence through the development of methods
and algorithms for all aspects of language analysis and their computer
implementation. We can see language analysis divided into two parts:
theoretical analysis and application. The theoretical aspect includes
standard areas studied in linguistics methods as semantics, syntax, and
morphology or numerical methods as those used in information retrieval
or text-mining. Semantic theories guide the development of lexical
theories, syntactic theories and morphology. Semantic theories can be
based on some specific features of computation, but at the present stage
of research, there is a gap between linguistic analysis and computer
applications in two senses: there are many computer applications without
linguistic theoretical support and, conversely, there are a number of
theoretical methods with no computer implementation. Semantic as part of
computational linguistic and language processing is very related to the
logic and to logics. If we accept the hypothesis that there is a logic
of language and logics of natural languages, the upstream of each
algorithm or method representing the basis of a AI system of language
analysis is a logic and a semantic. The downstream of semantic analysis
can be found in translation, automatic text generation and even
automatic annotation of texts or information retrieval. Generally, the
knowledge processing and particularly, the information extraction must
take into account this epistemological chain for to lead to effective,
robust and reliable systems.

What is the GOAL of the track?

This track is intended to present works ranking from logical,
mathematical, and statistical models in syntax and semantics (logic of
objects, topological theories of time and space, lexical associations,
etc.) as foundations of the design and analysis to knowledge processing
and natural language processing systems and especially to information
extraction.


Who might be interested?

Special tracks, held in parallel with the general conference, are an
integral part of the conference. They provide researchers in focused
areas the opportunity to meet and present their work, and offer a forum
for interaction among the broader community of artificial intelligence
researchers.

Topics of interest are in all areas related to artificial intelligence.

What kind of studies will be of interest?

Papers and contributions are encouraged for any work relating to
Semantic, Logics and Information Extraction in AI. Topics of interest
may include (but are in no way limited to):


1. Philosophy of language - new developments,
2. Cognitive semantics,
3. Logics of language,
4. Language modeling,
5. Computational linguistics (lexicology; morphology; syntax;
   semantics),
6. Information extraction,
7. Domain ontologies, linguistic ontologies,
8. Knowledge processing,
9.  Translation,
10. Text-mining.

Note: We invite original papers (i.e. work not previously submitted, in
submission, or to be submitted to another conference during the
reviewing process).

Invited Speaker : To be announced

Interested authors should format their papers according to AAAI
formatting
guidelines<http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php>. The
papers should be original work (i.e., not submitted, in submission, or
submitted to another conference while in review). Papers should not
exceed 6 pages (4 pages for a poster) and are due by November 17,
2014. For FLAIRS-28, the 2015 conference, the reviewing is a double
blind process. Fake author names and affiliations must be used on
submitted papers to provide double-blind reviewing. Papers must be
submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system, which can be
accessed through the main conference web site
(http://www.flairs-28.info/). Note: do not use a fake name for your
EasyChair login - your EasyChair account information is hidden from
reviewers. Authors should indicate the [your track name] special track
for submissions. The proceedings of FLAIRS will be published by the
AAAI. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form
transferring copyright of their contribution to AAAI. FLAIRS requires
that there be at least one full author registration per paper.

Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the
conference proceedings, which will be published by AAAI Press.

Au sein du CEA LIST, le Laboratoire LVIC (Vision et Ing?nierie des
Contenus) a d?velopp? une plate-forme de traitement linguistique, LIMA,
r?cemment mise en ligne avec une licence AGPL,
https://github.com/aymara/lima.

L'?quipe propose un CDD de 2 ans pour d?velopper des outils de
constitution de ressources linguistiques ? partir de corpus. Le poste
est ouvert d?s le d?but septembre 2014.

Les traitements linguistiques de base s?appuient sur des ressources
linguistiques (typiquement des dictionnaires de la langue, des documents
annot?s) produites le plus souvent manuellement. Ces ressources sont
disponibles pour des langues des pays avanc?s et ?conomiquement forts
(en premier lieu l?anglais, le fran?ais, l?allemand, le chinois, le
cor?en, etc.). Pour les autres langues, dites peu dot?es, on ne dispose
pas de ces ressources et les produire manuellement est ? la fois tr?s
co?teux, tr?s long et n?cessite l?intervention sur une longue p?riode
d?une personne qui ma?trise la grammaire et l?usage de cette langue.
L?objectif des travaux est de d?velopper des outils de constitution de
ressources linguistiques (jeu d??tiquette morpho-syntaxique,
dictionnaires morphologiques) en s?appuyant sur des techniques
d?apprentissage non-supervis? ou peu supervis?. La qualit? des
ressources produites seront ?valu?es dans des t?ches classique de
traitements linguistiques (analyse morphologique, d?sambigu?sation
morpho-syntaxique, extraction d?entit?s nomm?es) et jusqu'? la recherche
d?information.

? partir d?un corpus de texte ciblant une langue et un type de texte les
outils vis?s doivent permettre de produire de fa?on ?conomique le
lexique intensionnel d?crivant la langue du corpus. On exclut donc les
m?thodes purement manuelles. On s'appuiera au contraire sur les
techniques d'apprentissages telles qu'elles ont ?t? exp?riment?es dans
les dans le cadre des workshops Morpho Challenge ou de programme de
recherche de l'IARPA Babel.

Le travail du CDD consistera plus particuli?rement ? :

- ?tudier, impl?menter et ?valuer des outils de constitution de lexiques
  ? partir de corpus pour produire des dictionnaires morphologique en
  plusieurs ?tapes: segmentation bas?e sur des analyses statistique des
  graphies des tokens, identification d'un jeu d'?tiquette
  morpho-syntaxiques ? partir des contextes d'usage, annotation
  automatique en mode non supervis?, d?finition de classes
  flexionnelles.
- ?tudier et ?valuer des techniques de nettoyage des dictionnaires
  produits;
- ?valuer les ressources linguistiques produites dans des t?ches de base
  de traitements linguistiques (analyse morphologique, annotation 'POS',
  extraction d?entit?s nomm?es, recherche d?information) sur des langues
  dot?es (fran?ais anglais, arabe).

Profil recherch?:

- Connaissance des techniques d'apprentissage (m?thode bay?siennes, SVM,
  CRF, clustering, repr?sentation)
- Comp?tences informatiques : C++, langages de script (perl, python ...)
- Comp?tences ou int?r?t pour le traitement automatique des langues

La dominante du poste est le d?veloppement mais l'ing?nieur/docteur
recrut? sera int?gr? dans une ?quipe de recherche.

R?mun?ration selon formation et exp?rience.
Lieu de travail : centre d?int?gration NanoInnov (plateau de Saclay, 
proche de Polytechnique)
Dur?e : 24 mois

7th International Workshop on Semantic Web Applications and Tools for
the Life Sciences (SWAT4LS 2014) Berlin, Germany Dec. 9-10th, 2014

http://www.swat4ls.org/workshops/berlin2014

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

Overview

Since 2008, the SWAT4LS Workshop has provided a platform for the
presentation and discussion of the benefits and limits of applying
web-based information systems and semantic technologies in the domains
of health care and life sciences. SWAT4LS has been held in Edinburgh
(2008), Amsterdam (2009), Berlin (2010), London (2011), Paris (2012) and
Edinburgh (2013).

The next edition of SWAT4LS will be held in Berlin, Germany, on December
9 - 11, 2014. It will be articulated in a tutorials day (9th), a main
workshop day (10th) and an hackathon day (11th).

We are confident that the next edition of SWAT4LS will provide the same
open and stimulating environment that has previously brought together
researchers, developers, and users, from various fields including
eHealth, biomedical and clinical informatics, radiation oncology,
systems biology, computational biology, drug discovery, bioinformatics
and biocomputing, to discuss goals, current limits and real experiences
with Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies in health care and the
life sciences.

________________________________________

Rationale 

The Web is a key medium for information publishing, and Web-based
information systems play a key role in biomedical information exchange
and data integration. The Semantic Web in particular provides a set of
interoperable standards and technologies that support knowledge
representation, ontology development, machine reasoning, data mining,
machine learning, distributed information resources, and collaborative
research environments.

The variety and complexity of biomedical information requires these kind
of technologies and altogether, the adoption of the Web-based semantic
technologies in health care and the life sciences is having an impact on
publishing, as well as biological and clinical research.

This workshop will provide a venue to present and discuss the benefits
and limits of adoption of these technologies. It will showcase
experiences, information resources, tool development and
applications. It will bring together researchers, both developers and
users, from biology, bioinformatics, computer science, and the clinic to
discuss goals, current limits and use cases for Semantic Web
technologies.

CLEF 2015 - Call for Labs proposals
-----------------------------------------

http://clef2015.clef-initiative.eu/

Toulouse, France, September 8 - 11, 2015

Important Dates
---------------
* Final lab proposals: 10 September 2014
* Notification of lab acceptance: 19 September 2014
* 3 November 2014: Labs registration opens

CLEF is a leading annual international conference exploring topics in
information access technologies.
The CLEF Conference uniquely combines evaluation laboratories and
workshops with research presentations, panels, poster and demo sessions
interleaved during three and a half days of intense and stimulating
research activities. CLEF 2015 will be the sixth edition of the current
CLEF conference launched as a continuation of the annual CLEF evaluation
campaign series which ran with great success from 2000 to 2009
contributing to the systematic evaluation of information access systems,
primarily through experimentation on shared tasks.

CLEF 2015 will be held in September at the University of Toulouse,
France.  Researchers and practitioners from all areas of information
access and related communities are invited to submit proposals for
evaluation labs for consideration for inclusion in CLEF 2015. Lab
proposals will be reviewed by the lab selection committee. Authors of
selected proposals will be invited to include their lab in the CLEF 2015
lab programme, possibly subject to small suggested modifications to
their proposal to better suit the CLEF lab workflow or timeline.

About CLEF
----------
The CLEF Initiative (http://clef2015.clef-initiative.eu/) is a
self-organized body whose main mission is to promote research,
innovation, and development of information access systems with an
emphasis on multilingual information in different modalities - including
text and multimedia - with various levels of structure. CLEF promotes
research and development by providing an infrastructure for:

* independent evaluation of information access systems;
* investigation of the use of unstructured, semi-structured, 
  highly-structured, and semantically enriched data in information
  access;
* creation of reusable test collections for benchmarking;
* exploration of new evaluation methodologies and innovative ways of 
  using experimental data;
* discussion of results, comparison of approaches, exchange of ideas, 
  and transfer of knowledge.

Scope of CLEF Labs
------------------
Proposals are accepted for two different types of ?labs?:

* Evaluation Labs that are a ?campaign-style? evaluation for specific
  information access problems (during the twelve month period preceding
  the conference), similar in nature to the traditional CLEF campaign
  ?tracks? (see 2014 Labs at
  http://clef2014.clef-initiative.eu/). Topics covered by campaign-style
  labs can be inspired by any information access-related domain or task.
* Labs that follow a more classical ?workshop? pattern, exploring issues
  of evaluation methodology, metrics, processes etc. in information
  access and closely related fields, such as natural language
  processing, machine translation, and human-computer interaction.

If the organisers of the proposal are new to CLEF or other shared task
evaluation campaigns, we highly recommend that a lab workshop first be
organised to discuss the format, the problem space, and the
practicalities of the shared task. The CLEF 2015 programme will reserve
about half of the conference schedule for lab sessions which will take
place within the conference in Toulouse. The labs will present their
overall results ?overview presentations? during the plenary scientific
paper sessions to allow non-participants to get a sense of where the
research frontiers are moving. Organisers of each lab are expected to
organise the separate sessions for their lab at the conference so that
they contain ample time for general discussion and engagement by all
participants - not just those presenting campaign results and papers.
Organisers should plan time in their sessions for activities such as
panels, demos, poster sessions etc. as appropriate.

CLEF is always interested in receiving and facilitating innovate and
creative lab proposals. Potential task proposers who are unsure of the
suitability of their task proposal or its format for inclusion at CLEF
are encouraged to contact the CLEF 2015 Lab Organizing Committee Chairs
to discuss its suitability or design at an early stage.

Proposal Submission
-------------------
Lab proposals must provide sufficient information to enable to be able
to judge the relevance, timeliness, scientific quality, benefits for the
research community, and the competence of the proposers to co-ordinate
the lab. Each lab proposal should identify one or more organizers as
responsible for ensuring the timely execution of the lab.

Proposals should be 2-4 pages long and should provide the following
information:

1. Title of the proposed lab.
2. A brief description of the lab topic and goals, its relevance to CLEF
   and the significance for the field.
3. A brief but clear statement of usage scenarios or domain to which the
   activity is intended to contribute, including the evaluation setup
   and metrics.
4. Details on the lab organizer(s), including identifying the task
   chair(s) responsible for the ensuring the running of the task. This
   should include details of any previous of involvement in organising
   or participating in evaluation tasks at CLEF or similar campaigns.
5. The planned format of the lab, i.e. campaign-style (?track?) or
   workshop.
7. A statement on the intended development/growth path if the proposal
   is for a continuation of activities previously undertaken at CLEF
   workshops.
8. Details of the expected target audience, i.e. who do you expect to
   participate in the task, and how do you propose to reach them.

9. The number of tasks to be carried out in a lab. The proposal should
   clearly motivate the need for each of the proposed tasks and provide
   evidence of its capability of attracting enough participation. It is
   fine for a lab to have a single task, but labs often contain multiple
   closely related tasks.
10. Expected length of the lab session at the conference: half-day, one
   day, two days. This should include very high level details of planned
   structure of the session, e.g. participant presentations, invited
   speaker(s), panels, etc, to justify the requested session length.
11. Arrangements for the organization of the lab campaign: who will be
   responsible for activities within the task; how will data to acquired
   or created, including highlighting any IP issues that need to be
   addressed to enable data to be distributed to lab participants; tools
   or methods which will be used, e.g. how will necessary queries be
   created or relevance assessment carried out; any other information
   which is relevant to the conduct of your lab.
12. If the lab proposes to set up a steering committee to oversee and
   advise its activities, include names, addresses, and homepage links
   of people your propose to be involved.

Reviewing Process
-----------------
Each submitted proposal will be reviewed by the CLEF 2015 lab organizing
committee.
The decision will be sent by email to the responsible organizer by
September 19, 2014.
The final length of the lab session will be determined based on the
overall organization of the conference and the number of participant
submissions received by a lab. Reviewing criteria can be found on the
website of the conference - http://clef2015.clef-initiative.eu/ .

Important Dates
---------------
* Final lab proposals: 10 September 2014
* Notification of lab acceptance: 19 September 2014
* 3 November 2014: Labs registration opens

Chers coll?gues

Le Cercle Linguistique du Centre et de l'Ouest organise ses quatri?mes
Ateliers d'Et? ? l'Universit? de La Rochelle les 26 et 27 septembre
prochains autour de la question suivante : "Pourquoi faire de la
linguistique ?"

Afin d'aborder cette question, nous avons choisi trois points de vue,
qui reflettent prioritairement les relations entre champs disciplinaires
: sociolinguistique, stylistique et mod?lisation th?orique. Les
tables-rondes vont ainsi d?cliner trois aspects de la question des
raisons de la linguistique : pourquoi faire de la sociolinguistique ?
pourquoi faire de la linguistique textuelle ? pourquoi et comment
th?oriser en linguistique ?

Au plaisir de vous retrouver ? La Rochelle,

Bien cordialement
Gilles Col

Open position at Inria Sophia Antipolis, France: Research Engineer in
Natural Language Processing and Semantic Web

*Job*

We are looking for a Research Engineer with a background in Natural
Language Processing and Semantic Web to join the Inria WIMMICS team
(https://wimmics.inria.fr/) and more precisely SMILK - Social Media
Intelligence and Linked Knowledge (https://project.inria.fr/smilk/), a
joint laboratory (Labcom) between the WIMMICS team and the Research and
Innovation unit of VISEO (Grenoble, France) (http://www.viseo.net/).

Natural Language Processing, Linked Open Data and Social Networks as
well as the links between them are at the core of this LabCom. The
purpose of SMILK is both to develop research and technologies in order
to retrieve, analyze, and reason on textual data coming from Web
sources, and to make use of LOD, social networks structures and
interactions to improve the analysis and understanding of textual
resources.

The engineer will focus on the following topics, covered by SMILK: use
of data and vocabularies published on the web in order to search,
analyze, disambiguate and structure textual knowledge in a smart way,
but also to feed internal information sources; reasoning on the
combination of internal and public data and schemes, query and
presentation of data and inferences in natural formats.
 
*Profile*

Holding a Master or a PhD in Computer Science, you have experience in
NLP, Semantic Web or in a related field (artificial intelligence,
machine learning...). Your hands-on experience of at least one
programming language (e.g. Java, C++) gives you autonomy in completing
all your technical tasks. Self-motivated, goal-oriented and you like
working in an international team.
Pragmatic and customer oriented.
Fluent English is mandatory.

Any of the following would be a plus: background of the technology and
techniques used in Semantic Web (RDF framework, SPARQL query language),
good control of scripting tools (bash, Unix/Linux tools) and of web
languages (HTML, XML), experience with automation of NLP processing
chains, fluent in French.

Project duration: until January 2017
Deadline: 1st October 2014 but open until filled
Working environment: the engineer will be employed at Inria Sophia
Antipolis, in the Wimmics team
Salary: Gross Salary per month according to the level of diploma and the
experience in the domain: 2500 ? 2800? / month (corresponding to
2100-2300? net salary / month)

/Revue SCOLIA n?28/ :

"Actes rassurants, actes mena?ants : s?mantique et pragmatique de
l'interaction verbale"

Coordonn? par Olga Galatanu, Abdelhadi Bellachhab, Ana-Maria Cozma

L?objectif de ce num?ro est d?argumenter et illustrer une approche
compl?mentaire ? celles, bien connues et reconnues en pragmatique, de
l?interaction verbale?: une s?mantique de l?interaction verbale
susceptible de rendre compte des repr?sentations des actes de langage et
des savoirs langagiers d?claratifs concernant leur r?alisation
linguistique, dans diff?rents contextes culturels et linguistiques. Dans
cette double perspective th?orique, le num?ro propose l?analyse de
plusieurs actes de langage dans une zone d?exp?rience humaine sensible,
celle de la manifestation et/ou de la provocation des affects positifs
(actes rassurants) et des affects n?gatifs (actes mena?ants).

/Fond?e par Georges Kleiber en 1994, Scolia est une revue annuelle de
l?Universit? de Strasbourg qui accueille des ?tudes originales et
innovantes relevant des diff?rents secteurs des Sciences du langage et
portant sur la linguistique fran?aise et la linguistique g?n?rale./
