                                                         are evaluation methods, metrics and resources reusable?”

                                                                     13 April 2003, Budapest, Hungary

This is a second call for papers for the  EACL 2003 workshop on the reuse of evaluation resources. Details
on this event can be found at the workshop's webpage: http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~katerina/EACL03-eval

Topics of interest:
We welcome submissions of both discussion-papers and papers presenting applied experiments relevant with
-but not limited to- the following topics:

- cross-fertilization of evaluation methods and metrics
- reuse of resources for evaluation (corpora, evaluation tools etc.)
- feasibility experiments for the reuse of established evaluation methods/metrics/resources in different NLP system types
- reusability obstacles and the notion of  compositionality of NLP tasks
- evaluation needs and challenges for less strenuously evaluated system types (e.g. multimodal dialogue systems ),
   possible benefits from established evaluation practices
- evaluation standards and reusability
- reuse within big evaluation initiatives
- application of e.g. Machine Translation methods to Information Retrieval: implications for evaluation

Submission format:
Submissions must be electronic only, and should consist of full papers of max. 8 pages (inclusive of references, tables,
figures and equations). Authors are strongly encouraged to use the style-files suggested for the EACL main
conference submissions at: http://ufal.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~hajic/eacl03/submission.html
