NAACL-HLT 2009 

Third International Workshop on Cross Lingual Information Access: Addressing the Information Need of Multilingual Societies (CLIAWS3)

Boulder, Colorado; June 04,2009

Submission Deadline: March 06, 2009 




WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION 

Cross-Language Information Access is concerned with any/all technologies that let users express their query in their native language, and irrespective of the language in which the information is available, present the information in the user-preferred language or set of languages, in a manner that satisfies the user's information needs. The additional processing may take the form of machine translation of snippets, summarization and 
subsequent translation of summaries and/or information extraction.

This workshop aims to bring together various trends in multi-source, cross and multilingual information retrieval and access, and provide a venue for researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to interact and share a broad spectrum of ideas, views and applications. The workshop will consist of a set of invited talks and presentations of technical papers that will be selected after peer review from the submissions received.

We solicit submissions describing research on all aspects of "Cross Lingual Information Access and Retrieval". 
  
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Semantic approaches to cross lingual information access
* Cross-language cross media search (speech, video, audio)
* Uses of (statistical) Machine Translation and Transliteration in multilingual information access
* Search based on language independent forms
* Cross-language text categorization
* Multilingual / Cross-lingual named entity recognition
* Cross-document and crosslingual entity and event coreference
* Multilingual digital libraries
* Scalability issues in multilingual information access/ system evaluation
* Cross Lingual/ Multilingual question answering
* Appropriate methods to detect similar/complementary/contradictory information across multiple languages
* Multilingual Summarization
* Multilingual Opinion Mining and Sentiment Analysis
* Multilingual Information Extraction
* Practical systems on various domains
* Acquisition of parallel and comparable corpora in multiple languages
* Morphology and Shallow Parsing for CLIR
* Query Translation, Query Expansion, Multiword handling and Lightweight WSD for CLIR
* Other CLIR research issues, user studies / interactive CLIA 


SUBMISSION INFORMATION 

Authors are invited to submit a full paper of up to 8 pages in electronic, PDF format (with up to 1 additional page for references). Previously published papers cannot be accepted. The submissions will be reviewed by the program committee. As reviewing will be blind, please ensure that papers are anonymous.
