  Call for papers

   The purpose of the First International Workshop on Computational
   Linguistics for Uralic Languages is to bring together researchers
   working on computational approaches to working with these languages.
   We accept papers and tutorial proposals working on the following
   languages: Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian, Võro, the Sámi languages,
   Komi (Zyrian, Permyak), Mordvin (Erzya, Moksha), Mari (Hill, Meadow),
   Udmurt, Nenets (Tundra, Forest), Enets, Nganasan, Selkup, Mansi,
   Khanty, Veps, Karelian (Olonets), Karelian, Ingrian (Izhorian),
   Votic, Livonian, Ludic, and other related languages.

   All Uralic languages exhibit rich morphological structure, which
   makes processing them challenging for state-of-the-art computational
   linguistic approaches, the majority also suffer from a lack of
   resources and many are endangered.

   Research papers should be original, substantial and unpublished
   research, that can describe work-in-progress systems, frameworks,
   standards and evaluation schemes. Demos and tutorials will present
   systems and standards towards the goal of interoperability and
   unification of different projects, applications and research groups .
   Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to):
     * Parsers, analysers and processing pipelines of Uralic languages
     * Lexical databases, electronic dictionaries
     * Finished end-user applications aimed at Uralic languages, such as
       spelling or grammar checkers, machine translation or speech
       processing
     * Evaluation methods and gold standards, tagged corpora, treebanks
     * Reports on language-independent or unsupervised methods as
   applied to Uralic languages
     * Surveys and review articles on subjects related to computational
       linguistics for one or more Uralic languages
     * Any work that aims at combining efforts and reducing duplication
   of work
     * How to elicit activity from the language community, agitation
       campaigns, games with a purpose

   To maximise the possibility of reproducibility, replication and
   reuse, we particularly encourage submissions which present
   free/open-source language resources and make use of free/open-source
   software.

   One of the aims of this gathering is to avoid unnecessary duplicated
   work in field of Uralistics by establishing connections and
   interoperability standards between researchers and research groups
   working at different sites. We have also identified a serious lack of
   gold standards and evaluation metrics for all Uralic languages
   including those with national support, any work towards better
   resources in these fields will be greatly appreciated. To further
   these goals we propose to start discussions on forming an ACL special
   interest group (or similar) on Uralistics at the event.

  Important Dates

     * 1st July 2014: Call-for papers announced
     * 1st November 2014: Paper submission deadline
     * 1st December 2014: Paper notification
     * 14th December 2014: Camera-ready deadline
     * 16th January 2015: Workshop held in Tromsø

  Submission of papers

   Language of submission: Submissions should be made in English or
   Russian with an optional abstract in Finnish.

   Submission format: There are multiple submission types: research
   papers and demonstrations and tutorials. Research papers should be
   up to 10 pages in length excluding references, the descriptions for
   demonstrations and tutorials up to 5 pages. Submissions should be
   formatted using LaTeX default article style with b5paper option.
   Citations should be managed with bibtex and e.g., unsrt bibliography
   style. Linguistic glosses should follow Leipzig glossing rules and
   use expex LaTeX package (make sure to update expex regularly as it is
   developed actively). Preferred LaTeX version is XeLaTeX and therefore
   you should use UTF-8 encoded Unicode in your sources rather than TeX
   encoded characters where possible. You will find the workshop
   template [4]here. Submissions can be made [5]here using the
   EasyChair conference management system.

   Conflicts of interest: The reviewing process will not be anonymous,
   authors should state in their submission all conflicts of interest
   with programme committee. The members of programme committee are
   expected to state their conflicts of interest during review bidding.
   If the programme committee finds themselves unable to review some of
   the submissions, external reviewers may be used.

   Double submission: To maximise the impact of work in the field of
   computational linguistics for the Uralic languages we are open to the
   possibility of double submission, or submission of work which has
   been partially published elsewhere. Any double submission should
   however be reported to the programme committee at the time of
   submission. In the advent of double acceptance the authors should
   choose in which venue to publish.

  Venue

   The workshop will be held at the HSL-fakultetet at UiT The Arctic
   University of Norway in Tromsø, Norway.
