SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS:

ATALA Workshop "TEXT TYPOLOGIES FOR NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING"
Paris (France) December 9, 2006.

The ATALA Workshop "Text Typology for Natural Language Processing" will 
be held in Paris on December 9, 2006. This workshop is open to all 
researchers working in the field of Text Typology and/or Text 
Categorisation, ranging from Text/Corpus Linguistics to Machine 
Categorisation, from Computational Linguistics to Discourse Analysis, 
etc. This one day work-shop style forum will encourage discussions 
between scholars belonging to different research currents but sharing 
similar research interests concerning the notion of text typology.

We suggest the following points for discussion :

- How to measure distances between texts? Which factors or features 
(lexical, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic) to use?

- How text categorisation affect the use of NLP tools and vici versa?

- How to (re)consider results obtained by different approaches 
(categorisations induced from text groupings a posteriori and those 
projected on texts a priori)?

- Can a single text reflect different text types? How to detect 
heterogeneous parts on a document level?

- In which way structured documents renew the issue of text topology?

Contributions concerning other relevant subjects are also welcomed.

We expect short communication proposals (1 to 5 pages) in WORD or PDF 
format to be sent by November 10, 2006.
