Second Call for Papers: Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT12)

[Petya Osenova]

Second Call for Papers


The 12th International Workshop on Treebanks 
and Linguistic Theories (TLT12)

TLT serves as a venue for new and ongoing 
research on the topic of 
linguistics and treebanks. The 12th edition of TLT 
will take place in Sofia, 
Bulgaria on December 13-14, 2013, and will be 
hosted by the BulTreeBank 
Group.

TLT-12 website: http://bultreebank.org/TLT12/

This 
year, TLT will be accompanied by the third Workshop on Annotation of 
Corpora 
for Research in the Humanities (ACRH-3) that takes place on December 
12, 
2013. More information is available at: 
http://www.bultreebank.org/ACRH-3/

TLT 
started its first edition in 2002 in Sozopol, Bulgaria. Now its 12th 
edition 
comes back to Bulgaria again! For more than 10 years now TLT has 
served as a 
venue for new and ongoing high-quality work related to 

syntactically-annotated corpora, i.e., treebanks; with a focus on all the 

aspects of treebanking -- descriptive, theoretical, formal and 

computational -- but also  going beyond treebanks, including other levels of 

annotation such as frame semantics, coreference, or events, to name only a 

few.

Submissions are invited for papers, posters, and demonstrations 
which 
present research on treebanks and their intersection with linguistics, 

natural language processing, and other related fields.


Workshop 
Motivation and Aims

Treebanks have proved to be crucial resources for 
very important NLP 
applications, such as MT and information extraction, as 
well as supporting 
resources for various NLP tasks, such as high-quality 
parsing and POS 
tagging. More recent trends in treebank related research 
includes, but is 
not restricted to the following areas:

* Annotating 
deep syntactic information,
* converting into deeper formats, often also 
adding information 
automatically,
* multilingual and crosslingual 
treebanking
* enriching treebanks with additional layers of linguistic 
annotation as 
well as world knowledge
* dynamic treebanking involving a 
close connection between parsing and 
manual annotation,
* designing web 
services for diverse treebanks
* mapping syntactic and semantic knowledge to 
Linked Open Data information 
(LOD)


This series of workshops aims 
to provide a forum for researchers and 
advanced students working in these 
areas.


Workshop Topics

The workshop invites submissions that 
discuss relevant innovative work in 
treebanking, including the relations and 
links between various aspects of 
morphological, syntactic, semantic, and 
pragmatic annotation; furthermore, 
submissions describing work on parallel 
treebanks and/or cross-language 
annotation schemas, on the relation between 
linguistic theory and the 
practice of annotation, and on applications of 
information in treebanks are 
encouraged as well.

The areas of 
interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to, the 
following 
topics:

* design principles and annotation schemes for treebanks
* 
linguistic theory and the practice of annotation
* applications of treebanks 
in acquiring linguistic knowledge and in NLP
* the role of linguistic 
theories in treebank development
* treebanks as a basis for linguistic 
research
* annotated beyond treebanks
* evaluation and quality control of 
treebanks
* tools for creation and management of treebanks
* treebanks of 
less-resourced languages
* theories, schemas, and applications for parallel 
treebanks
* standards for treebanks
* creation of large treebanks
* 
mapping of treebanks to Linked Open Data resources
* using Treebanks in 
Analysis and Generation tasks
* domain-specific treebanks
* the future of 
treebanks and treebanking
