CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
EACL 2006 Workshop on
Multi-dimensional Markup in Natural Language Processing:
5th Workshop on NLP and XML (NLPXML-2006)
http://ilps.science.uva.nl/nlpxml2006/
April 4, 2006, Trento, Italy
****************************************************************
The EACL 2006 Workshop on Multi-dimensional Markup in
Natural Language Processing will be hosted in conjunction
with the 11th Conference of the European Chapter of the
Association for Computational Linguistics, which will take
place April 3-7, 2006, in Trento, italy.
This workshop is also the fifth in the NLPXML series, following
workshops at NLPRS 2001 in Tokyo, COLING 2002 in Taipei,
EACL 2003 in Budapest, and ACL 2004 in Barcelona.
* TOPICS
The widespread adoption of XML within the NLP community as the
main standard for both data and meta-data representation has led
to research in a number of issues relating to XML and NLP. One
particularly interesting challenge arises from the difficulty in
combining annotations resulting from disparate NLP systems in a
single hierarchical structure. For downstream applications that
rely on a range of linguistic annotations, problems such as crossing
boundaries and overlapping elements from different sources make it
difficult to query data with multiple dimensions of annotation.
Our goal for this workshop is to bring together researchers from
several different fields --- natural language processing, corpus
linguistics, markup languages, and information retrieval --- to
discuss theoretical and practical issues related to the integration of
different layers of text annotation. In addition to full paper
presentations, the workshop will also have two sessions devoted to
system demonstrations.
