CALL FOR PAPERS
The second Chinese Language Processing Workshop
Sponsored by SIGLEX, SIGDAT and SIGPARSE.
October 2000
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
In conjunction with ACL-2000
Growing interest in Chinese Language Processing is leading to the development
of resources such as annotated corpora and automatic segmenters, part-of-speech
taggers and parsers. The first Asia ACL provides an ideal opportunity to bring
together influential researchers from Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and
Beijing, as well as Chinese language researchers in the rest of the world, to
discuss issues that are specific to the processing of Chinese. A critical tool
for developing Chinese language processing tools is the availability of
annotated corpora. The greater the consensus we have around guidelines for
corpus annotation of part-of-speech tags, syntactic bracketing and other areas,
the more useful this corpora will be.
We welcome submissions that address the following topics on Chinese
language processing:
. word segmentation
. POS tagging
. phrase identification
. parsing
. grammar development
. lexicon acquisition
. corpus development
We invite workshop participants to take advantage of two bracketed corpora:
. The first one, Chinese Penn Treebank, was developed at University of
Pennsylvania, USA. It includes 100-thousand words from Xinhua News.
The corpus will be released via LDC at UPenn in one or two weeks.
For more information and announcement of the release, please check the
website http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/ctb/ after June 4th, 2000.
. The second one, developed by CKIP, Academia Sinica in Taiwan, contains
more than 30,000 sentences. A trial version of 1,000 sentences is now
available for download by the public at
http://godel.iis.sinica.edu.tw/CKIP/trees1000.htm
The release of the complete treebank is being reviewed by Academia Sinica.
Preliminary arrangements have been made for the treebank to be licensed
through ROCLING. Please check their website
http://rocling.iis.sinica.edu.tw/ROCLING for announcement.
The workshop will be held either on Oct 1 or Oct 2. For latest update
of the workshop (including the instruction for paper registration) and
the release of the Chinese Penn Treebank, please check
http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/ctb/ . If you have any questions concerning
the workshop or the Treebank, please email us at
chinese at linc.cis.upenn.edu.
Submissions:
Submissions are limited to original, unpublished work. Papers may
not exceed 3200 words (exclusive of title page and references). Papers
outside the specified length are subject to be rejected without
review.
The style files for submission are the same as the ones for ACL
regular paper, which can be downloaded from
http://www.cs.ust.hk/acl2000/fcfp.html . The reviewing of papers will
be blind. Hence the title page and paper should not include the
authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that
reveal the author's identity (e.g., "We previously showed (Smith,
1991) ...") should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith
previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...".
As reviewing will be blind, a separate title page and identification page
will be required. The title page should include the following information:
Title:
Paper ID Code: (generated upon paper registration)
Topic Area: one or two general topic areas
Keywords: Up to 5 keywords specifying subject area
Which Session: just put "G"
Word Count, excluding title page and references:
Under Consideration for other Conferences (specify):
Abstract: short summary (up to 5 lines)
The identification page should contain all of the information in the
title page, but in addition must include the authors' names,
affiliations, and email addresses. The format for the identification
page should be as follows:
Title:
Paper ID Code: (generated upon paper registration)
