ATALA Workshop
Call for papers
Treebanks

Paris, Jussieu, June 18-19th 1999

For the ATALA workshop on Treebanks (syntactically annotated corpora),
we solicit 40 min talks (including questions) on building and using such
corpora. Relevant topics include :

Building syntactically annotated corpora (SAC):
- methodology
- cost
- selection of material
- annotation tools
- annotation standards
- annotation formats
- validation of annotations

Using syntactically annotated corpora (SAC):
- interrogation tools
- knowledge extraction (lexicons, grammars, others)
- evaluation of NLP tools

Both written and speech corpora can be considered. Comparison with results
obtained with tagged corpora (annotated for
morpho-syntax only) are also welcome.
