The fourth workshop on Cross Lingual Information Access aims to bring
together researchers from a variety of fields and practitioners from
government and industry to address the issue of information need of
multi-lingual societies. This workshop will also highlight the
contributions of NLP and computational linguistic aspects to CLIA, in
addition to the previously better represented viewpoint from Information
Retrieval.

CALL FOR PAPERS

 

Cross-lingual information access (CLIA) is concerned with technologies
and applications that enable people to freely access information that is
expressed in any language that may differ from the query language. With
the rapid development of globalization and digital online information in
Internet, a growing demand for CLIA has emerged. Ordinary netizens who
are surfing the Internet for special information and communicating in
social networks, global companies which provide multilingual services to
their multinational customers, governments who aim to lower the barriers
to international commerce and collaboration and homeland security are in
need of cross lingual access. This has triggered vigorous research and
development in CLIA. This workshop is the fourth in a series of
workshops and aims to address the need of cross-lingual information
access. The previous three workshops were held during IJCAI 2007 in
Hyderabad, IJCNLP 2008 in Hyderabad, and NAACL 2009 in Colorado. 

 

In this workshop, in addition to Cross-lingual Information Retrieval
(CLIR), the focus is on multi-lingual information extraction,
information integration, summarization, and other key technologies that
are useful for CLIA. The workshop aims to bring together researchers
from a variety of fields such as information retrieval, computational
linguistics, machine translation, and digital library, and practitioners
from government and industry to address the issue of information need of
multi-lingual societies. This workshop also aims to highlight and
emphasize the contributions of NLP and computational linguistic aspects
to CLIA, in addition to the previously better represented viewpoint from
Information Retrieval. We thus solicit 

submissions in the following and related topics:

 

MULTI-LINGUAL KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION

  . Acquisition of multi-lingual parallel/comparable/non-comparable
corpora

  . Multi-lingual document/sentence/word alignment 

  . Multi-lingual lexicon/term extraction

  . Multi-lingual new words / named entity detection and translation
MACHINE TRANSLATION IN CLIA

  . Interaction between cross-lingual information retrieval and machine
translation

  . Query translation and document translation

  . Developing statistical machine translation systems from
multi-lingual corpora

  . Domain adaptation in machine translation

  . Multi-lingual / Cross-lingual named entity recognition

 

NLP/CL/IR FOR CLIA

  . Multi-lingual summarization

  . Multi-lingual information extraction

  . Multi-lingual question answering

  . Multi-lingual text categorization and clustering

  . Multi-lingual opinion study and sentiment analysis 

  . Mono-lingual processing leveraging on multi-lingual resources

 

GENERAL CLIA

  . Approaches to cross-lingual/multi-lingual information access

  . Domain specific cross-lingual/multi-lingual information access

  . Cross-lingual cross media search (speech, video, audio)

  . Machine Learning for multi-lingual information access

  . Scalability issues in cross-lingual/multi-lingual information access

  . system evaluation

  . Web-scale cross-lingual search

  . User studies / interactive CLIA
