CALL FOR PAPERS
==============================================================

DESCRIPTION

With the aim of encouraging and promoting the development of Human Language
Technologies (HLT) for modern iberian languages, the goal of this workshop
is creating a discussion forum about different aspects regarding the
evaluation of Natural Language Processing systems, emphasizing the main
problems that modern iberian languages implied: Spanish, Catalan, Basque,
Galician and Portuguese. 

The implementation of this type of systems requires a deep evaluation and
validation of them. In order to validate the HLT, similar evaluation methods
must exists for similar applications, in order to compare them
straightforwardly. 

Besides, most tasks of HLT, as summarization and automatic translation, does
not have a unique valid solution, but more than one can be accepted.
Therefore, the evaluation methods required must be clear and adjusted to the
system goals. 

Following the line of other workshops focused in the evaluation of HLT
systems, this IBEREVAL I workshop is presented as a discussion forum about
the evaluation of systems working with modern iberian languages, with the
aim of discovering the interests and necessities of the scientific
community, dealing with the problems that evaluation implies, and promoting
the creation of evaluation resources and training corpus for HLT systems
working on these languages. 

TOPICS OF INTEREST

This IBEREVAL I workshop will bring together researchers, academic
institutions and companies working on the development of HLT systems and
their evaluation, participating through submissions regarding issues such
as: 

Development of evaluation resources over different HLT modules and
applications: 

*	creation of gold-standard corpus for iberian languages (Catalan,
Basque, Galician, Portuguese and Spanish); Part of Speech tagging; syntactic
parsing; semantic interpretation; anaphora resolution; information retrieval
and extraction; summarization; machine translation, etc.
*	Evaluation metrics for the different HLT modules and applications.
*	General modules of evaluation: direct and indirect evaluation.
*	Development of testing, supervision and evaluation frameworks for
HLT systems.
*	Manual, supervised and semi-supervised evaluation.
*	Creation and development of evaluation standards.
