[Corpora-List] Call for papers 7th International Global Wordnet Conference - EXTENDED DEADLINE SEPTEMBER 13, 2013

Fri Sep 6 09:11:40 UTC 2013

The Global Wordnet Association is pleased to announce the 7th International
Global Wordnet Conference (GWC2014).
The conference will be hosted by the University of Tartu, Estonia.

Conference website: http://gwc2014.ut.ee/

Invited speaker: Alessandro Lenci, University of Pisa

We invite papers addressing the topics listed, but not limited to, the ones
below. Proposals for tutorials on building wordnets and demonstrations of
wordnet databases, and wordnet-based software are welcome too.

       1. Linguistics and lexical semantics, including:
              * In depth analysis of semantic relations,
              * Determining and representing word meanings (definitions,
relations, semantic components, co-occurrence statistics, etc.)
              * Necessity and completeness issues.
              * Ontologies and wordnets.
              * The lexicon and wordnets.
       2. Architecture of lexical databases, including:
              * Language independent and language dependent components
              * Integration of multi-wordnets in research infrastructures
(like CLARIN) and LT networks (like META-NET)
       3. Tools and Methods for wordnet Development, including:
              * User and Data entry interface, organization,
              * Extending and enriching wordnets
       4. WordNet as a lexical resource and component of NLP and MT,
including:
              * Word sense disambiguation using wordnet,
              * Ontologies and wordnet,
              * The lexicon and wordNet
       5. Applications of wordnets, including:
              * Information extraction and retrieval,
              * Document structuring and categorization,
              * Automatic hyperlinking
              * Language teaching,
              * Psycholinguistic applications
       6. Standardization, distribution and availability of wordnets and
wordnet tools.

In conjunction with the conference a workshop dealing with lexical-semantic
relations will be held. Relations are the backbone of semantic networks like
wordnets and logical constructs such as ontologies. For many wordnets,
intuitive notions of semantic and lexical relations have been applied, often
backed by tests based on lexical-semantic patterns (e.g., Cruse 1989). But
comparisons show that a given label, such as synonymy or antonymy, can
covers a range of different relations and that lexicographers are prone to
interpret such relations more widely or narrowly. Furthermore, not all
wordnets include the same relations, raising the questions as to an optimal
set that can serve a broad range of applications.

The aim of the workshop is to work towards a consensus and greater
consistency in distinguishing, labeling and applying relations when building
resources. Questions to be addressed include, but are not limited to the
following:

    (a) How can relations among individual word forms and sets of word forms
be defined?
    (b) What is the optimal number and grainedness of such relations, in
particular for different applications? Should there be systematic mappings
of coarser and finer grained shades of one given relation?
    (b) How can lexical and semantic relations be consistently distinguished
and implemented by human lexicographers and automatic systems?
    (c) What are reliable sources and techniques for extracting related word
forms from corpora?
    (d) Can a uniform nomenclature be agreed on and adopted for wordnets and
other lexical resources as well as ontologies?
    (e) (How) can equivalence of relations across languages be determined
and quantified?

We aim to address these questions with reference to both paradigmatic and
syntagmatic relations.

Presentations will fall into one of the following categories:

    * long papers (30 mins)
    * short papers (15 mins)
    * project reports (10 mins)
    * demonstrations (20 mins)

Submissions will have to state one of the preferred categories. Acceptance
may be subject to changes in the category of the presentation, e.g. a long
paper submission may be accepted as a short paper.

Final papers should be submitted in electronic form (PDF only):

  * Long papers should be limited to 8 pages,
  * Demonstration papers must be at most 5 pages text and can have
additional 3 pages screen dumps or images;
  * Short papers and project descriptions should be limited to 5 pages.

Papers need to be submitted to the EasyChair website:

GWA 2014 Easy Chair site:
https://www.easychair.org/**conferences/?conf=gwc2014<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gwc2014>

The format of the paper is in ACL format (PDF):

ACL 2010 paper formats:
http://acl2010.org/authors_**final.html<http://acl2010.org/authors_final.html>

The conference program will include oral presentations and demonstration
sessions with sufficient time for discussions of the issues raised.

Important note: Inclusion of accepted submissions into the final program and
the proceedings is contingent upon at least one author's registration. Late
registration and on site registration for participants is possible without
inclusion of the paper and without presentation.

Important dates:

   1. September 13, 2013 Extended deadline for paper submission
   2. October 7, 2013 Notification of acceptance

November 15, 2013 Registration closes for author(s) of papers to be included
in the proceedings
