Hi everyone,
Please excuse my ignorance, but does anyone know of an accessible
corpus of research articles from soft and hard academic disciplines
that is tagged for move structure? I would like to examine how
a particular linguistic feature is used in discussion moves of
RAs in several popular 'soft' and 'hard' academic disciplines.
Many thanks in advance for your help
Dr Miguel-Angel Benitez-Castro
University of Granada, Spain.

> The NAACL 2015 Program Committee invites proposals for Demonstrations
> to be
> displayed at NAACL HLT 2015. We encourage submissions from early
> prototype
> demonstrations to mature production-ready systems; of particular
> interest
> are demos that can be openly used by NAACL attendees from the
> conference
> website before and during the conference. All accepted demos will be
> published in a companion volume of the conference proceedings, and
> will be
> presented during a demo session (with an optional poster).
> Areas of Interest
>
> Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following
> types of
> systems:
>
> - End-to-end systems:
> - Mobile applications of language technologies
> - Text- or speech-based information access or dialogue systems
> - Machine translation systems for consumer or industry
> applications
> - Question answering applications
> - Information extraction
> - Systems for meeting capture and analysis
> - NLP and speech technologies to support accessibility and
> assistive
> devices
> - Systems aiding research and development:
> - Software architectures and reusable components for use in NLP
> - Tools for data visualization
> - Software tools for system evaluation or error analysis
> - Interfaces and resources to support linguistic annotation
> - Toolkits for machine learning, NLP, or data mining
> - Systems supporting learning or education:

> - Tutorial agents to support real-time feedback for learning
> - Instructional aids for topics in computational linguistics
> - Systems to score or critique textual student responses
> - Systems to mine textual or behavioral data for educational
> purposes
>
> Format for Submission
>
> Please use the main NAACL paper style (http://naacl.org/naacl-pubs)

> submission guidelines. At a minimum, demo proposals should include
> the
> following:
>
> - A brief description of the technical content to be demonstrated.
> - A ?script outline? of the demo presentation, including
> accompanying
> narrative, and either a Web address for accessing the demo or
> visual aids
> (e.g., screenshots, snapshots, or diagrams).
>
> As the reviewing will be blind, proposals must not include the
> authors?
> names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the
> author?s identity, e.g., ?We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ?? must
> be
> avoided. Instead, use citations such as ?Smith previously showed
> (Smith,
> 1991) ??. In addition, please do not post your proposals on the web
> until
> after the review process is complete.
>
> The entire proposal must not be more than four pages. We will reject
> without review any papers that do not follow the official style
> guidelines,
> anonymity conditions and page limits. Also, please note that no
> hardware or
> software will be provided by the local organizers.
> Submissions Procedure
>
> Proposals must be submitted electronically by February 13, 2015 using
> submission software available at
> https://www.softconf.com/naacl2015/demos.
> Important Dates
>
> All times are 11:59pm PST on the deadline day
>
> - Submission deadline: February 13, 2015
> - Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2015
> - Submission of camera ready copies: March 30, 2015
>
> Further Details
>
> Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of their relevance to
> computational linguistics, innovation, scientific contribution,
> presentation, as well as potential logistical constraints. Accepted
> submissions will be allocated four pages in the Companion Volume to
> the
> Proceedings of the Conference. Further details on the date, time, and
> format of the demonstration session(s) will be determined and
> provided at a
> later date.

> Medical information search refers to methodologies and technologies
> that
> seek to improve access to medical information archives via a process
> of
> information retrieval (IR). Such information is now potentially
> accessible
> from many sources including the general web, social media, journal
> articles, and hospital records.
> Medical information is of interest to a wide variety of users,
> including
> patients and their families, researchers, general practitioners and
> clinicians, and practitioners with specific expertise such as
> radiologists.
> Despite the popularity of the medical domain for users of search
> engines,
> and current interest in this topic within the information retrieval
> research community, development of search and access technologies
> remains
> particularly challenging. One of the central issues in medical
> information
> search is diversity of the users of these services. In particular,
> they
> will have varying categories of information needs, varying levels of
> medical knowledge, and varying language skills. In addition, the
> format,
> reliability, and quality of biomedical and medical information varies
> greatly. A single health record can contain clinical notes, technical
> pathology data, images, and patient-contributed histories, and may be
> linked by a physician to research papers. The importance of health
> and
> medical topics and their impact on people?s everyday lives makes the
> need
> for retrieval of accurate and reliable information especially
> important.
> Determining the likely reliability of available information is
> challenging.
> Finally, as with information retrieval in general, the evaluation of
> medical search tools is vital and challenging. For example, there are
> no
> established or standardized baselines or evaluation metrics, and
> limited
> availability of test collections.
> We encourage participation from researchers in all fields related to
> medical information search including mainstream information
> retrieval, but
> also natural language processing, multilingual text processing, and
> medical
> image analysis.
>
> Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
> - Users and information needs
> - Semantics and NLP for medical IR
> - Reliability and trust in medical IR
> - Personalised search
> - Evaluation of medical IR
> - Multilingual issues in medical IR
> - Multimedia technologies in medical IR
> - The role of social media in medical IR

> A fair amount of research has been carried out on expressions of

> been carried out on expressions of intermediate meanings, i.e.
