ACL'99 Workshop
COREFERENCE AND ITS APPLICATIONS
June 22, 1999
University of Maryland
College Park,
MD. USA
http://www.cs.duke.edu/~amit/acl99-wkshp.html
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Coreference is in some sense nature's own hyperlink. It conveys how
individual statements are connected within documents, across documents
and across bodies of human knowledge. Consequently coreference
resolution algorithms are at the core of Natural Language
Processing. Most of the work done on coreference deals with
a single language and a single text document (usually newswire).
As NLP research matures into "application" phases (as opposed to
theory-development), NLP systems are moving beyond traditional
research sources to document sets which reflect a more natural,
research-oriented mix. This shift can be seen in both the document
sets and tasks used in recent HUB, MET, and TDT evaluations. The
new sources consist of documents in several different languages,
documents with data from noisy sources, and documents containing
multimedia. In order for NLP systems to make a successful
transition to these new sources, it is critical for coreference
resolution systems to also work on these new sources.
The workshop invites papers regarding the theory, design, and
evaluation of coreference resolution systems that deal with
non-traditional data sources. In particular, we encourage
submission of papers for the following types of coreference:
*-Cross-document coreference
*-Coreference resolution in languages other than English
*-Coreference resolution on noisy data
*-Coreference resolution on non-text data (example: human speech)
*-Coreference resolution on multimedia data
In addition, the workshop also invites papers on innovative NLP
applications that rely heavily on coreference resolution systems.
FORMAT FOR SUBMISSION
Paper submissions should consist of a full paper (5000 words or less,
including references). Each submission should include a separate
title page providing the following information: the title, a short

First Call For Papers
(EMNLP/VLC-99) JOINT SIGDAT CONFERENCE ON
EMPIRICAL METHODS IN NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING AND
VERY LARGE CORPORA
Sponsored by SIGDAT (ACL's Special Interest Group for Linguistic Data
and Corpus-based Approaches to NLP)
June 21-22, 1999
University of Maryland
In conjunction
ACL'99: the 37th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational
Linguistics
This SIGDAT-sponsored joint conference will continue to provide a forum
for new research in corpus-based and/or empirical methods in NLP. In
addition to providing a general forum, the theme for this year is
"Corpus-based and/or Empirical Methods in NLP for Speech, MT, IR, and
other Applied Systems"
A large number of systems in automatic speech recognition(ASR) and
synthesis, machine translation(MT), information retrieval(IR), optical
character recognition(OCR) and handwriting recognition have become
commercially available in the last decade. Many of these systems use
NLP technologies as an important component. Corpus-based and empirical
methods in NLP have been a major trend in recent years. How useful are
these techniques when applied to real systems, especially when compared
to rule-based methods? Are there any new techniques to be developed in
EMNLP and from VLC in order to improve the state-of-the-art of ASR, MT,
IR, OCR, and other applied systems? Are there new ways to combine
corpus-based and empirical methods with rule-based systems?
This two-day conference aims to bring together academic researchers and
industrial practitioners to discuss the above issues, through technical
paper sessions, invited talks, and panel discussions. The goal of the
conference is to raise an awareness of what kind of new EMNLP techniques
need to be developed in order to bring about the next breakthrough in
speech recognition and synthesis, machine translation, information
retrieval and other applied systems.
The conference solicits paper submissions in (and not limited to) the
following areas:
1) Original work in one of the following technologies and its relevance
to speech, MT, or IR:
(a) word sense disambiguation
(b) word and term segmentation and extraction
(c) alignment
(d) bilingual lexicon extraction
(e) POS tagging
(f) statistical parsing
(g) others (please specify)
2) Proposals of new EMNLP technologies for speech, MT, IR, OCR, or other
applied systems (please specify)
3) Comparative evaluation of the performance of EMNLP technologies in
one of the areas in (1) and that of its rule-based or knowledge-based
counterpart in a speech, MT, IR, OCR or other applied systems
Submissions Requirements
Submissions should be limited to original, evaluated work. All papers
should include background survey and/or reference to previous work. The
authors should provide explicit explanation when there is no evaluation
in their work. We encourage paper submissions related to the conference
theme. In particular, we encourage the authors to include in their
papers, proposals and discussions of the relevance of their work to the
theme . However, there will be a special session in the conference to
include corpus-based and/or empirical work in all areas of natural
language processing.

CALL FOR PAPERS
ACL'99 Workshop on the Relationship Between
Discourse/Dialogue Structure and Reference
June 21 1999
University of Maryland
http://www.isi.edu/~marcu/discourse-ref-acl99/
---------------------------------
The relationship between the structure of discourse and dialogue and
the use of referring expressions has been the focus of much research
in linguistics, computational linguistics, and psycholinguistics,
individual efforts have been couched in a variety of
frameworks ranging from (S)DRT and RST to Centering, they all share two
underlying assumptions:
1. The structure of discourse affects the interpretation of
referring expressions and the space of anaphoric accessibility.
2. The use of referring expressions restricts the set of possible
discourse interpretations.
However, most approaches address only one of these two views on the
relation between structure and reference. And although several
theories explaining this relationship exist, few have made a significant
impact on practical applications such as discourse parsing, summarization,
generation, and name-entity recognition.
This workshop will provide a forum for researchers in all areas of
linguistics, psycholinguistics, and computational linguistics who are
interested in advancing the state of the art in understanding the
relationship between discourse/dialogue structure and reference.
Submissions are invited on, but not limited to, the following topics
and issues:
1. Linguistic issues:
+ what is the relation between lexico-grammatical
constructs, referring expressions, and the structure of
discourse/dialogue?
2. Psycholinguistic issues:
+ how does the use of referents affect the human
interpretation of discourse/dialogue?
3. Corpus-specific issues:
+ what coding schemata and annotation tools should one
use in order to encode the relation between
discourse/dialogue structure and reference?
4. Representation issues:
+ how should discourse/dialogue structures and referents
be represented?
+ how should one represent the relationship between them:
as preferences; or as constraints?
5. Algorithmic issues:
+ how can discourse/dialogue structures, referents, and
co-referential links be identified and computed?
+ knowledge-intensive vs. shallow approaches
+ rule-driven vs. statistical vs. corpus-based approaches
+ Wordnet-based approaches
+ how do discourse/dialogue structure and referential
expressions interact in natural language generation?
6. General issues:
+ what are the commonalities of current approaches to
studying the relation between discourse/dialogue and
referents?
+ what are the differences?
+ what are the arguments against a relation between
discourse/dialogue structure and reference?
+ how language-dependent is the relation between
discourse/dialogue structure and reference?
Post-Workshop Dissemination:
Selected papers from the workshop will be compiled into a volume
tentatively scheduled to appear in the Text, Speech, and Language
Technology book series from Kluwer Academic Press.
Submission Procedure:
* Authors are requested to submit one electronic version of their
papers OR four hardcopies. Please submit hardcopies only if

TITLE: Towards Standards and Tools for Discourse Tagging
DESCRIPTION:
Discourse tagging assigns labels from a tag set to discourse units in
texts or dialogues. The discourse units range from words or referring
expressions to multi-utterance units identified by criteria such as
speaker intention or initiative. Since the emergence of syntactically
annotated corpora has resulted in major advances in sentence-level
natural language processing, the hope is that corpora of tagged
discourse may lead to similar advances in the area of discourse
processing.
Work on discourse tagging has gained momentum in the last 3-4 years.
Three major initiatives in this area are: the Discourse Resource
Initiative (http://www.georgetown.edu/luperfoy/Discourse-Treebank/),
that has organized yearly international workshops addressing the
standardization of discourse tagging schemes for coreference,
for dialogue acts, and for higher level discourse structures;
MATE (http://mate.mip.ou.dk/),
a project co-funded by the European Union, whose aim is to
develop tools and standards for tagging spoken dialogue
corpora at different levels, including the discourse level;
the Global Document Annotation initiative, that aims at having
Internet authors annotate their documents with a common standard
tag set which allows machines to recognize the semantic and pragmatic
structures of documents (http://ww.etl.go.jp/etl/nl/GDA).
Even with these three initiatives in place, there is still much work to
be done before there are widely accepted (standardized) tagging
schemes for various discourse phenomena that could be shared across
sites; moreover, there has not yet been an open forum to which
researchers working in this area could participate and
contribute. This workshop will provide such a forum.
Submissions are invited on, but not limited to, the following topics
and issues:
1. How can standardization for discourse tagging concretely be achieved?
by developing a single coding scheme, or more likely, a set of coding
schemes, one for each phenomenon of interest? or rather, by developing
some specification guidelines and a way of mapping from one scheme to
another? in some other way?
2. Cross-level coding: all the initiatives mentioned above promote an
approach in which coding schemes are developed at different levels,
rather than an approach in which a monolithic scheme addresses all
phenomena. Given this methodology, the issue of cross-level coding
arises, namely, how can coding schemes for different levels
take advantage of each other and allow coding of cross-level
relationships? is it possible to relate corpus annotations at
different annotation levels to examine the interdependence of
linguistic phenomena?
3. Coding schemes and theories of discourse: is it possible to develop
coding schemes that faithfully reflect a discourse theory? if yes,
is it desirable? conversely, can corpora coded for discourse issues
help advance our theoretical understanding of discourse phenomena?
4. Coding schemes and applications: is it possible to design
discourse coding schemes independently from the applications tagged
corpora are supposed to be used for (eg, to train a speech act
recognizer)?
5. Coding schemes and reliability: discourse categories are difficult
to code for reliably. Whatever the reason (e.g., lack of an overarching
theory for discourse, or genuine ambiguity and misunderstandings in real
dialogue reflected in the coding), how can we devise reliable
coding schemes? What reliability measures should be used: are
widely used measures (Kappa, Alpha, precision and
recall) appropriate in this case? If not, what other measures can
we use? Is reliability affected by whether naive or expert coders
are used?
6. Tools for discourse tagging: what specific features of a tool
does discourse tagging require? can we just extend tools developed
eg for syntactic tagging? do we need to develop new tools?
7. Some paradigms for evaluating dialogue systems take advantage of
the use of tagged corpora: how are tagging for evaluation purposes and
discourse tagging related? Are there some discourse tags
that may be used as evaluation tags or is it advisable to introduce
another dimension of tagging?
In addition to papers, prospective participants may be asked to do a
small homework before the workshop to test out various tagging
schemes. Prospective participants who have developed tools are welcome
to bring a demo with them.
Submission Procedure:
Authors are requested to submit one electronic version of
their papers OR four hardcopies. Please submit
hardcopies only if electronic submission is impossible.

SIGLEX99
Standardizing Lexical Resources
June 21, 22, 1999
University of Maryland
==========================================================================
FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
=========================================================================
As our national interests become increasingly global, timely access to
information becomes more and more necessary. Many promising
strategies for information provision rely heavily on lexical
resources, including ontologies. Our next major challenge is
providing a standardized lexical resource: an inventory of word
meanings, or senses, associated with criteria for distinguishing them.
Currently there are several different on-line lexical resources that
are being used for English, WordNet, Longman's, the Oxford English
Dictionary, (OED), CIDE from Cambeidge University Press (CUP),
Collins, and Webster's, to name just a few, and they each use very
different approaches to making sense distinctions. Various
computational lexicons and related resources such as ontologies are
under development, including the European PAROLE/SIMPLE lexicons, the
Generative Lexicon, the SENSUS ontology, Mikrokosmos, WordNet,
Framenet, and the theory of Lexical Conceptual Structures. Each takes
a very different approach and makes reference to different underlying
theories of semantics. This divergence of resources has motivated the
efforts of the EAGLES Lexical Semantics Group, which is defining a
common format for lexical semantic representation for 12 languages.
http://www.ilc.pi.cnr.it/EAGLES96/rep2/
In a recent evaluation of word sense disambiguation systems,
SIGLEX98-SENSEVAL, (also supported by Euralex, Elsenet, ECRAN and
SPARKLE) "http://www.itri.brighton.ac.uk/events/senseval", the
training data and test data were prepared using a set of Oxford
University Press (OUP) senses. This made it difficult to evaluate the
performance of pre-existing systems that had been built using other
lexical resources. A mapping was made from the OUP senses to WordNet
senses, so that WordNet systems could be included, but this was
somewhat problematic as there were far fewer WordNet senses, and
frequently no direct mapping was possible. As do most dictionaries,
OUP and WordNet often make different decisions about how to structure
entries for the same words which are all equally valid, but simply not
compatible. Therefore, it becomes especially difficult to include
pre-existing systems in the evaluation that rely on a pre-existing
lexical resource other than the one used as the Gold Standard. The
question that arises here is the likelihood of making performance
preserving mappings between lexical resources. Is it even possible to
treat one lexical resource as a standard that other resources can be
mapped to? (This is true even when focusing on just one language - the
problem simply becomes more explosive when additional languages become
involved.) All of the participants in SIGLEX98-SENSEVAL agreed that
they would prefer evaluations based on running text rather than corpus
instances, but this is only feasible if the Gold Standard sense
inventory being used for tagging can be appropriately mapped onto
several different lexical resources.
The purpose of SIGLEX99 is to directly address the issue of
standardization of lexical resources, and performance-preserving
mappings between existing resources. As a spin-off from SENSEVAL, we
are investigating mapping the OUP SENSEVAL senses onto other lexical
resources. We will also be tagging running text with these senses,
and other senses, and will circulate this ahead of time to workshop
participants. There will be several working sessions focussed around
the mappings between lexical resources and the tagged samples.
Languages other than English will also be considered, in connection
with ROMANSEVAL, the subset of SENSEVAL for Romance languages (but
with no restriction to that language family). We will study the
relevance of EuroWordNet (EWN) sense dictinctions for WSD systems, and
the applicability of the Interlingua Language Index (ILI) created
within EWN for cross-language sense-standardization. An issue of
particular interest is the mapping of existing resources to the ILI,
which could be an important step towards the development of a
standardized multilingual lexicon for WSD. Such a multilingual gold
standard could in turn be used to semantically tag parallel texts and
thus create standardized corpora useful for many multilingual
applications. There will also be a session to discuss the future of
American involvement in EAGLES, and how the workshop results and
conclusions can be incorporated.
We will have invited talks on ontologies and lexical resources, and we
welcome submissions on any areas in lexical semantics and
computational lexical semantics, but particularly on the acquisition
and use of lexical resources and ontologies and on word sense
disambiguation. There will be a workshop proceedings, and as we have
done with our last two workshops, we will encourage partipants to make
electronic versions of their papers available on the web prior to the
workshop. Likely invited speakers include Patrick Hanks (Oxford
University Press), Chuck Fillmore (Berkeley), and someone speaking on
WordNet or EuroWordNet and on SIMPLE (the European project for
building harmonized semantic lexicons for 12 European languages).
