[Corpora-List] TextGraphs-6 - Call for Papers - ACL-HLT 2011 Workshop

[Vlado Keselj]

Although I must say that I really liked John Sowa's comment in general, 
and would also add dot-com-style business proposals and grant proposals 
next to patents and publications, I would also say that TextGraphs may be 
something more general than semantic networks.  In particular, Eulerian 
graphs derived from n-gram tables should be added to the list below.
