[Corpora-List] Final Call for Papers: Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT13)

Sun Aug 10 13:54:57 UTC 2014

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

13th International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT13)

TLT serves as a venue for new and ongoing research on the topic of 
linguistics and treebanks. The 13th edition of TLT will take place at 
the University of Tübingen, Germany on December 12-13, 2014.

For more than 10 years now, TLT has served as a venue for new and 
ongoing high-quality work related to syntactically-annotated corpora, 
i.e., treebanks; with a focus on all the aspects of treebanking -- 
descriptive, theoretical, formal and computational -- but also going 
beyond treebanks, including other levels of annotation such as frame 
semantics, coreference, or events, to name only a few.

Submissions are invited for papers, posters, and demonstrations which 
present research on treebanks and their intersection with linguistics, 
natural language processing, and other related fields.

Invited Speakers
----------------

Sandra Kübler (Indiana University, Indiana, USA)
Gertjan van Noord (University of Groningen, The Netherlands)

Workshop Motivation and Aims
----------------------------

Treebanks have proved to be crucial resources for very important NLP 
applications, such as machine translation and information extraction, as 
well as supporting resources for various NLP tasks, such as high-quality 
parsing and POS tagging.

More recent trends in treebank related research have focused a variety 
of initiatives, such as annotating deep syntactic and syntactic-semantic 
interface information; (semi)-automatic conversion of existing treebanks 
into deeper linguistic formats; multilingual and crosslingual 
treebanking, including attempts for 'language universal' treebanking; 
enriching treebanks with additional layers of linguistic annotation as 
well as world knowledge layer; dynamic treebanking involving a close 
connection between parsing grammar and manual annotation; designing web 
services for observing and exploiting theoretically diverse treebanks; 
mapping syntactic and semantic knowledge to Linked Open Data information 
(LOD).

Workshop Topics
---------------

The workshop invites the submission of papers, posters, and software 
demonstrations on original and unpublished research on the following 
topics, including, but not limited to:

- Design principles and annotation schemes for treebanks
- The use of treebanks in acquiring linguistic knowledge
- The use of treebanks for NLP applications
- The role of linguistic theories in treebank development
- Treebanks as a knowledge source for linguistic research
- Treebank annotation beyond syntax: semantics, pragmatics, and discourse
- Evaluation and quality control of treebanks
- Tools for creation and management of treebanks
- Treebanks for lesser-resourced languages
- Theories, schemas, and applications for parallel treebanks
- Standards for treebanks
- (Semi-)automatic methods for creating large treebanks
- Mapping of treebanks to Linked Open Data resources
- Domain-specific treebanks
- The future of treebanks and treebanking
- Multi-word expressions in treebanks
