[Manuel Alcántara-Plá]

2nd International Workshop on the Semantic Representation of Spoken
Language (SRLS-2009)
(March 2009, EACL Athens)

LAST CfP:

Papers are invited on substantial, original, and unpublished research
concerning the semantic representation of spoken language. Possible
topics include:

- Corpus annotation: structures (frame-banks, proposition banks, etc.)
and concepts (ontologies, named entities, etc.).
- Content identification and segmentation in spontaneous speech.
- Semantic interpretation in dialogues.
- Dialogue and discourse structures.
- Topic Detection and tracking.
- Multimodal Representation including speech.
- Natural language understanding and reasoning in spoken dialogue systems.
- Speech in embedded systems.
- Project descriptions about applications of spoken corpora semantic
representations.
- Standardization work.
- Interoperability/Comparison work of spoken and written corpora.


Submissions must be written in English and should follow the EACL-2009
style format. They can be full (6-8 pages including references) or short
papers (3-4 pages including references). As reviewing will be blind,
papers should not include author's names and affiliations. Furthermore,
self-references that reveal the author's identity should be avoided.
Submissions that do not conform to these styles will be rejected.

The only accepted format for submitted papers is PDF. Please remember
that the paper submission deadline is December 19th, 2008. Papers that
are being submitted in parallel to other conferences or workshops must
indicate this on the title page, as must papers that contain significant
overlap with previously published work. Accepted papers will appear in
the proceedings of the SRSL-2009.

Both full and short papers (3-4 pages) will have an oral presentation at
the workshop within the framework of the EACL-2009 conference in Athens
(Greece). For this reason, at least one author has to register for the
workshop.
