[Corpora-List] 6th INTEX Workshop

[lml]

6th INTEX Workshop
Sofia, 29-30 May 2003

Call for papers - Deadline: March 15th

Organizer:
Bulgarian Association for Computational Linguistics - BACL

We invite the submission of papers for the forthcoming sixth INTEX workshop,
to be held in
 Sofia from 28-30 May 2003.

INTEX is a linguistic development environment that includes large-coverage
dictionaries and grammars, and parses texts of several million words in real
time. INTEX includes tools to create and maintain large-coverage lexical
resources, as well as morphological and syntactic grammars. Dictionaries and
grammars are applied to texts in order to locate morphological, lexical and
syntactic patterns, remove ambiguities, and tag simple and compound words.
INTEX is used by several research centers to rapidly construct extractors to
identify semantic units in large texts, such as Proper names of persons,
locations, technical expressions of finance, etc. INTEX can build lemmatized
concordances and indices of large texts with respect to all types of Finite
State patterns.

One interesting characteristic of INTEX is that the system is open: users
can add their own resources use the INTEX programs to build new
applications, and add their own programs to modify INTEX. INTEX is now used
in over 200 research centers as a linguistic platform, an information
retrieval system, to teach second languages, as a terminological extractor,
as well as to teach computational linguistics to students.

As in the previous workshops, (1996, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2003), this
meeting will be the opportunity for INTEX users to meet and to exchange
their experience of development, research or teaching. It will also be the
occasion to present the recent developments of INTEX and NOOJ.

Please, send before March 15th 2003 a one-page abstract to:
Svetla Koeva, Stoyan Mihov or Max Silberztein,

if possible by email. The abstract, in French or English, should contain the
title of the article, name, author affiliations, surface mail and electronic
address of each author.

All papers will be reviewed by the following programme committee:
