The 4th Using Corpora in Contrastive and Translation Studies Conference Conference website: http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/uccts4 <http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/uccts4>

The fourth international Using Corpora in Contrastive and Translation Studies conference (UCCTS) will be held at Lancaster University from Thursday 24th July 2014 to Saturday 26th July 2014.

About the conference
UCCTS is a biennial international conference which was launched in 2008 to provide an international forum for the exploration of the theoretical and practical issues pertaining to the creation and use of corpora in contrastive and translation studies. The conference is hosted by the UCREL research centre, which brings together the Department of Linguistics and English Language with the School of Computing and Communications at Lancaster. The Using Corpora in Contrastive and Translation Studies series has been well received over the years. More information about previous conferences can be found using the following links:

CALL FOR PAPERS
WIMS?14
4th International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and Semantics Thessaloniki, Greece, 2-4 June 2014 http://wims14.csd.auth.gr

About WIMS?14 Conference
--------------------------
WIMS is a series of peer-reviewed International Computer Science conferences. It is a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their state-of-the-art results in building Intelligent Web, to examine performance characteristics of various approaches in Web-based intelligent information technology, and to cross-fertilize their ideas on the development of Web-based intelligent information management solutions across different domains.

Objectives
----------
The purpose of the WIMS series is:
- To provide a forum for established researchers and practitioners to present their contributions to the state
    of the art research and development in Web technology and applications
- To give doctoral students an opportunity to present their research to a friendly and knowledgeable
   audience and receive valuable feedback
- To provide an informal social event where Web technology researchers and practitioners can meet

WIMS traditionally hosts a small number of short tutorials on the topics related to the scope of the conference series. The role of a WIMS tutorial is to be a theme-oriented comprehensive survey. WIMS also offers its infrastructure and facilities for the organizers of satellite workshops that complement the scope of the conference. The calls for WIMS?14 Tutorials and Workshops are published separately.

Conference Scope
------
WIMS solicits regular and work-in-progress research, discussion papers and industry experience report papers in related fields. Papers exploring new directions or areas are also welcome. In particular but not exclusively the submissions within the following major areas are relevant:

- Scalable Web and Data Architectures and Infrastructures
- Web Intelligence
- Web Mining, Information and Knowledge Extraction
- Web Semantics and Reasoning
- WIMS Applications
- Evaluation and Validation of WIMS Technologies and Applications

More details about the conference scope and topics can be found at:

Subject: [Corpora-List] EACL 2014: Final Call for tutorial proposals
To: "corpora at uib.no" <corpora at uib.no>

EACL 2014 THIRD AND FINAL CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

Submission deadline: 1 November 2013

Proposals are invited for the Tutorial Program of the 14th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL 2014), to be held in Gothenburg, Sweden, from 26 to 30 April 2014. The selected tutorials will be given on the Saturday and Sunday preceding the main conference (26 and 27 April).

EACL 2014 seeks proposals for tutorials in all areas of computational linguistics, broadly conceived to include disciplines such as Linguistics, Speech, Information Retrieval, Psycholinguistics, and Multimodal Processing. We particularly welcome (1) tutorials which cover advances in newly emerging areas not previously covered in an *ACL related tutorial, and (2) tutorials which provide introductions into related fields which are  potentially relevant for the CL community (e.g. bioinformatics, neuroscience, human language processing, video and image analysis, machine learning techniques). In order to gather a widespread audience, the experience and qualifications of the instructors will also be taken into account.

REMUNERATION

Remuneration for tutorials is regulated by ACL policies:

http://aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=Policy_on_tutorial_teacher_payment

Please note that remuneration for tutorial presenters is fixed according to the above policy and does not cover registration fees for the main conference.

SUBMISSION DETAILS

Proposals for tutorials should contain:

1. A title and brief description of the tutorial content and its relevance to the ACL community (not more than 2 pages).
2. A brief outline of the tutorial structure showing that the tutorial's core content can be covered in a three-hour slot (excluding a coffee break). In exceptional cases six-hour tutorial slots are available as well.
3. The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the tutorial instructors, including a one-paragraph statement of their research interests and areas of expertise.
4. A list of previous venues and approximate audience sizes, if the same or a similar tutorial has been given elsewhere; otherwise an estimate of the audience size.
5. A description of special requirements for technical equipment (e.g. internet access).

Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII text, to "tutorials at eacl2014 dot org", no later than 1 November 2013. The subject line should be: "EACL 2014 Tutorial Proposal". Please note that only proposals submitted by e-mail will be taken into account.

TUTORIAL SPEAKER RESPONSIBILITIES

Accepted tutorial speakers will be notified by 15 November 2013, and must then provide abstracts of their tutorials for inclusion in the conference registration material by 15 December 2013. The description should be in two formats: an ASCII version that can be included in email  announcements and published on the conference web site, and a PDF version for inclusion in the electronic proceedings (detailed instructions to follow).

Tutorial speakers must provide tutorial materials, at least containing copies of the course slides as well as a bibliography for the material covered in the tutorial, by 1 February 2014.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline for tutorial proposals: 1 November 2013 Notification of acceptance: 15 November 2013 Tutorial descriptions due: 15 December 2013 Tutorial course material due: 1 February 2014 Tutorial dates: 26-27 April 2014
