COLING-2004 Workshop:
Multilingual Linguistic Resources
Geneva Switzerland 28 August 2004
http://mlr2004.imag.fr/
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
In an ever expanding information society, most information systems are
now facing the ''multilingual challenge''. Lexical resources play an
essential role in these information systems. Such lexical resources
need to provide information on many languages in a common framework
and should be (re)usable in many applications (for automatic or human
use).
Many centers have been involved in national, european and
international projects dedicated to building harmonized language
resources and creating expertise in the maintenance and further
development of standardized linguistic data. These resources include
dictionaries, lexicons, thesauri, wordnets, and annotated corpora
developed along the lines of best practices and
recommendations. However, since the late 90's most efforts in scaling
up these resources remain the responsibility of the local authorities,
usually, with very low funding (if any) and few opportunities for
academic recognition of this work.
Hence, it is not surprising that many of the resource holders and
developers have become reluctant to give free access to the latest
resources. It is therefore currently rather unclear what the actual
status is of these language resources.
The goal of this workshop is to study problems involved in the
development/management/reuse of lexical resources in a multilingual
context. Moreover, this workshop will provide a forum for reviewing
the state of language resources. The workshop is meant to bring to the
international community qualitative and quantitative information about
the most recent developments in the area of linguistic resources and
their use in applications.
As the workshop takes place in Europe, special attention will be given
to submissions on resources for European languages (especially Central
and Eastern European languages), but submission of innovative
developments involving any language will be welcome.
The intent of the workshop is not only to review academic developments
but also to hear from industry, how these resources are used in new
technology developments and what the current needs are in the field.
Presentations, project notes and position papers are welcome.
WORKSHOP TOPICS
Authors of papers on multilingual linguistic ressources are
encouraged to apply. Papers could be on - but not limited to - any of
the following topics:
* models for language/application-independent linguistic data
*linguistic data acquisition and maintenance
*building multilingual linguistic resources
*lexical architectures to link data between languages
*use of linguistic resources for applications in a multilingual
context
*reuse of existing lexical resources in a specific multilingual
application
*human use of lexical resources in a multilingual context
*quality evaluation and standardization
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Papers should be original, previously unpublished work. They should
emphasize completed work rather than intended work. Papers that are
being submitted to other conferences must reflect this fact on the
title page.
As the reviw process will not be blind, papers should contain the
names and affiliations of authors.
Submissions must be electronic only, and should consist of full papers
of max. 8 pages (inclusive of references, tables, figures and
equations), project notes and position papers should not exceed 4
pages. Authors should follow COLING 2004 formatting guidelines,
available at:
http://www.issco.unige.ch/coling2004/coling2004downloads.html.
All submissions should be made through the MLR2004 workshop web site's
submission form (url: http://mlr2004.imag.fr/). Submissions should
consist in a single PDF file. Before submitting your document, please,
verify that all non-standard fonts are correctly embedded in your PDF
document (you can verify it by disabling the ''Use Local Font'' option
when viewing you PDF document using Adobe Reader).
Formatting requirements for the final version of accepted papers
will be posted as soon as they become available.
IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for submission of Papers: May 7th 2004
Notification of Acceptance: June 2nd 2004
Deadline for final paper submission: June 16th 2004

This is a session of the following conference: 20th International
Conference on Computational Linguistics
Meeting Description:
Following the regular program of the main conference, workshops on
current topics in Computational Linguistics will be held on 28th-29th,
August 2004, at the conference venue. Workshops will normally last one
day, but may extend to a second day if required. Proposals by
qualified individuals interested in organising a workshop are
solicited.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on
RECENT ADVANCES IN DEPENDENCY GRAMMAR
August 28th, 2004
To be held in conjunction with COLING 2004
[ http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/conf/dg2004/ ]
Over the last years, there has been a strong revival of interest for
dependency grammar, following up on, and contributing to, the recent
advances in formal grammar and in computational linguistics.
Dependency grammar is, however, more of a ''perspective'' on grammar
than a singular framework, which has led to a great variety of
proposals making this perspective more concrete.
The last workshop dedicated purely to dependency grammar was the
Dependency Grammar workshop organized in conjunction with ACL-COLING
1998 in Montreal [ http://www.olst.umontreal.ca/Eng/DGPapers.html ].
The goal of the current workshop is to offer a dedicated forum where
the community can present and assess recent advances in dependency
grammar, discuss issues, progress and prespectives, and to foster new
collaborations.
To make optimal use of the workshop format, we plan to mix paper
presentations with a poster session (1.30h), and allow for enough time
for discussion around paper presentations (25+10).
We would like to invite submissions to the workshop on any theme
relating to dependency grammars.
FORMAT FOR SUBMISSION:
The format and length requirements will be the same as for full papers
for COLING 2004. See [ http://www.issco.unige.ch/coling2004/ ] or [
http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/conf/dg2004/ ] for more details.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Papers should be sent to [ dg2004 at coli.uni-saarland.de ]. The paper
should be an attachment in PDF format and the heading on the email
should read ''PAPER SUBMISSION''. Notification of acceptance or
rejection will be sent to the originating email address.
LANGUAGE:
All papers must be written and presented in English
PROCEEDINGS AND WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION
Accepted papers and posters will be published in a proceedings
volume. For the workshop to take place, the COLING 2004 organizers
require at least 20 participants to register for the
workshop. Speakers and participants are therefore asked to register
via the official COLING 2004 site as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT DATES:
