5th  meeting " Terminology and Artificial Intelligence "
31 March - 1 April 2003, Strasbourg, France

Due to the ever-increasing amount of Machine-readable information,
institutions, companies and laboratories are facing new problems related

to scale effects and the diversity of technical texts. A full range of
tasks,
from (cross-lingual ) information retrieval to extraction of structured
information from texts, could highly benefit from the availability of
semantically structured terminological resources, extracted from
specialized corpora. As a result, to bring out innovative solutions,
terminology as a disciplin has to enrich and strengthen its links with
related
areas, including linguistics and computational linguistics, knowledge
engineering and information sciences.

More particularly, the links between the goals and methods of this
pluridisciplinary approach to terminology and knowledge engineering
should be emphasized:
           - Intensive use of corpus-based processing methods
           - Modeling of technical and scientific domains through
               the analysis of terminological networks identified in
corpora
           - Definition and elaboration of terminological knowledge that

could
               be used to improve major applications, such as
computer-aided
               translation, document indexing and filtering, or
corporate memory
               management.

The TIA Conference aims at promoting convergence and synergy  among
such disciplines in order to develop and evaluate corpus-processing
methodologies,
requiring refined natural language processing and artificial
intelligence techniques.
The end  results of those investigations should help build relevant
terminological
data for specific applications on a systematic basis.

The 5th TIA Conference will be an opportunity to explore some of the
unsolved
problems raised in corpus-based acquisition of terminological data, in
the
analysis of lexical behavior in specialized corpora, in knowledge
modeling and
formalization of the resulting data.


Topics of Interest
------------

You are invited to submit a paper on the following topics:

  - Meaning theories and terminology
  - Exploitation of corpus-based term extraction
  - Methods for automatic terminology structuring
  - Use of terminological resources for building ontologies
  - Terminology and semantic web
  - Terminological resources for information retrieval
  - Problems of multilingual terminology;
  - Reusability and Standardization
  - Terminology and hypertext construction
  - New applications of computer-based terminology

This TIA Conference, which follows TIA'95 (Villetaneuse), TIA'97
(Toulouse),
TIA'99 (Nantes), and TIA '01 (Nancy) is organized by the TIA Working
Group (http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/TIA/en). This group gathers
researchers in
linguistics, artificial intelligence and natural language processing.
It was created to allow a confrontation between the theoretical and
methodological
frameworks as well as between the practices developed in each
discipline.
Submitted papers (in French or in English) will be reviewed by an
international
program committee composed of members of the TIA Working Group and
of invited experts.
