[Corpora-List] IJCAI-RRNLP 2015 Call for Papers

[Tomaž Erjavec]

**********************************************************************
RRNLP 2015 – Workshop on Replicability and Reusability
in Natural Language Processing: from Data to Software Sharing
at IJCAI 2015
**********************************************************************

The RRNLP workshop will be held in conjunction with the 15th
International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, IJCAI-15, taking
place July 25-27, 2015 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Important Dates
---------------
April 27, 2015 - Paper submission deadline
May20, 2015 - Notification of acceptance
May30, 2015 - Camera-ready deadline
July (between 25 and 27, one day) -
RRNLP at IJCAI 2015

Workshop Description
--------------------
Even experiments reported in the best journals often present results
that cannot be reproduced, either because the original data or
software is not available, or because re-running the presented
programs leads to different results. Moreover, slight changes in
the implementations often (e.g., different parameter settings, dataset
size or representation) often lead to significantly different
results. At the same time, a number of repositories, web services or
processing pipelines for natural language processing (NLP) are being
developed, but, so far, without a focus on experiment replicability
and comparability.Therefore there is an urgent need to provide
repositories of stable NLP datasets, as well as mechanisms and
platforms for running experiments that would enable easy comparison of
results. Such platforms, enabling the sharing of workflows, could
provide major benefits for the entire community: for replicability of
experiments it should be enough for the authors to provide the
datasets, the URL of the developed workflow and the parameters used.

We welcome submissions of long and short papers and demonstrations,
relating to any aspect of replicability and reusability in Natural
Language Processing, including but not limited to:
* replicability and comparability studies for NLP experiments
* methodologies for publishing and versioning experimental datasets
* platforms to enable comparison and evaluation of NLP tools
* design and implementation of NLP pipelines, workflows and web
services
* platforms for NLP workflow construction and execution
* collaborative developments of NLP workflows
* community sharing of NLP web services, pipelines and workflows
* data standardization and process interoperability, including
guidelines for inputs and output format for recomposing new NLP
workflows

Submission Details
------------------
The papers should report original and unpublished research on topics
of interest for the workshop. The maximum length is eight (8) pages of
content for long papers or four (4) pages of content for short papers
and demonstrations, plus up to two (2) pages of references. The papers
should be formatted according to the IJCAI guidelines,
c.f. http://ijcai-15.org/index.php/call-for-papers/ijcai-call-for-papers.
The papers will be published on-line in the Workshop proceedings.

Submission deadline: April 27th, 2015, 23:59 GMT.
