LREC 2014 Workshop on
Semantic Processing of Legal Texts (SPLeT-2014)
CALL FOR PAPERS
31 May 2014, Reykjavik, Iceland

EXTENDED DEADLINE: *23 February 2014*

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
The last few years have seen a growing body of research and practice  
in the field of AI & Law which addresses a range of topics: automated  
legal argumentation, semantic and cross-language legal IR, document  
classification, legal drafting, legal knowledge extraction, as well as  
the construction of legal ontologies and their application. In this  
context, it is of paramount importance to use NLP techniques and tools  
that automate the process of knowledge extraction from legal texts.

Two special sessions will be organized around hot research areas:  
Legal Language Resources and Enhancing Access to Law.

For what concerns the former, in line with LREC 2014 Special Highlight  
we encourage the submission of descriptions of legal resources to be  
possibly included in the LREC Repository of shared LRs with the final  
aim of constructing a map of legal language resources, enabling their  
reuse (in reproducing and evaluating experiments) and extension. The  
resources might include: annotated corpora, lexicons, thesauri and  
ontologies as well as semantic processing tools, amongst others.

Concerning the second hot topic, we are particularly interested in  
submissions on NLP-based techniques for getting access to semantic  
information, including visualization of legal content and network  
analysis in the legal domain to uncover relationships between legal  
documents (e.g. citation analysis).
