CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

*CLARA Course on Treebank Annotation*

http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/clara/treecourse/

December 13-16, 2010, Prague, Czech Republic
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Seminar fur Sprachwissenschaft at the University of Tuebingen is 
organizing a four-days Thematic Training Course on Methods and 
Technologies for Consolidating and Harmonising Treebank Annotation, in 
cooperation with the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics at the 
Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague.

--------------
Goal and Focus
--------------
The course focuses on two aspects: the resources and tools as well as 
the linguistic analysis underlying the annotation schemes of treebanks. 
It supports the exploration and comparison of dependency-based and 
constituency-based annotation schemes and provides participants with the 
necessary skills to utilize existing resources and tools for treebank 
annotation and to adapt them to the revised and harmonized annotation 
schemes.
The focus is on the comparability of existing annotation schemes for 
treebanks across a number of languages. It addresses both the analytic 
basis and the prospects for harmonizing annotations across different 
languages and across different linguistic frameworks.

----------------
Invited Speakers
----------------
* Enrich Hinrichs: Tuebingen Treebank Resources
* Aravind Joshi: Discourse Corpus (PDTB)
* Sandra Kuebler: Querying Treebanks
* Detmar Meurers: Detecting Errors in Corpus Annotation
* Martha Palmer: Projecting English Verb Classes onto Chinese via 
Parallel Propbanks
* Paul Meurer, Victoria Rosen and Koenraad de Smedt: Tools for 
Automatically Analyzed Corpora
* Barbora Hladka and Jiri Mirovsky: Play the Language. An Alternative 
Way of Annotation
* Jan Hajic, Eva Hajicova, Silvie Cinkova, Jan Stepanek, Zdenek 
Zabokrtsky: Prague Dependency Treebank Tutorial: Annotation and Technology

------------
Participants
------------
The course is open to external participants, who are very welcome.
The course is specifically aimed at early stage researchers pursuing a 
PhD degree, but is also open for candidates at master and postdoctoral 
levels. The course is relevant for researchers who are interested in 
language resources: both in the linguistic aspects underlying the 
annotation schemes and in the data formats and tools for the annotation. 
We expect participants to have some knowledge about computational 
aspects of annotation.

-----------------
Participation Fee
-----------------
There is no participation fee for the researcher training course.
(There is a charge for meals.)
