SPMRL 2013 - EMNLP-Workshop on Statistical
Parsing of Morphologically Rich Languages
*************************************************************************

ENDORSED BY SIGPARSE

The 4th Workshop on Statistical Parsing of Morphologically Rich Languages
will be held in conjunction with the 2013 Conference on Empirical Methods
in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP 2013) which will take place on
October 18th, 2013 in Seattle, Washington.

Please note that the workshop takes place BEFORE the main conference

SPMRL 2013 will also host the first SHARED TASK on parsing morphologically
rich languages (see section below).

Workshop Description
--------------------
The SPMRL series of workshop provides a forum for research in parsing
morphologically-rich languages, with the goal of identifying cross-cutting
issues in the annotation and parsing methodology for such languages, which
typically have more flexible word order and/or higher word-form variation
than English.

Keynote Speaker
---------------
Julia Hockenmaier (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)

Chairs
------
The workshop will be chaired by Djamé Seddah and Yuval Marton.

SPMRL 2013 SHARED TASK
----------------------
The fourth SPMRL workshop will also host the first shared task on parsing
morphologically rich languages:

The primary goal of the shared task on parsing morphologically rich
languages is to bring forward work on parsing morphologically ambiguous
input in both dependency and constituency parsing, and to show the state
of the art for MRLs. In the longer term,  we aim to provide streamlined
data sets and  evaluation metrics, thus improving the comparability of
cross-linguistic work on parsing MRLs.  The shared task will feature
tracks in constituency parsing and in dependency parsing, in gold as well
as in realistic scenarios (the realistic scenario will have no gold
tokenization, no gold part-of-speech tags and morphological features).
