CfP Extended Deadline: February 15, 2014


International Nooj2014 Conference (NooJ2014)
June 3-5 2014 - Sassari (Italy)

CALL FOR PAPERS

NooJ is a linguistic development environment that allows linguists to
formalize several levels of linguistic phenomena:

• typography and spelling;
• lexicons of simple words, multiword units and discontinuous expressions;
• inflectional, derivational and agglutinative morphology;
• local and structural syntax;
• transformational syntax and paraphrase generation;
• semantic analysis and machine translation.

For each of these levels NooJ provides linguists with one or more formal tools
specifically designed to facilitate the description of each phenomenon, as
well as parsing/development/debugging tools designed to be as computationally
efficient as possible, from Finite-State to Turing machines. The integration
of all the linguistic levels in one compatible platform distinguishes NooJ
from other computational linguistic frameworks which provide a unique
formalism, incompatible with others.

As a corpus processing tool, NooJ allows researchers in various social
sciences to extract information from corpora by applying sophisticated queries
based on concepts and relations (rather than word forms) and automatically
build concordances, add semantic annotations, and perform statistical
analyses. NooJ has been endorsed by the Meta-Share CESAR Project of the
European Community, is now available as a JAVA open source package and runs
under Windows LINUX and Mac OSX platforms. NooJ linguistic modules for over 20
languages are freely available at www.nooj4nlp.net.

The NooJ conference intends to:

• give NooJ users and researchers in Linguistics and in Computational
Linguistics the opportunity to meet and share their experience as developers,
researchers and teachers;
• present to NooJ users the latest linguistic resources and NLP applications
developed for/with NooJ, its latest functionalities, as well as its future
developments;
• offer researchers and graduate students two tutorials (one basic and one
advanced) to help them parse corpora and build NLP applications using NooJ;
• provide the occasion to present and discover the recent developments of NooJ
itself (v3).
