Meeting Description: 

Treebanks are a language resource that provides annotations of natural
languages at various levels of structure: at the word level, the phrase
level, the sentence level, and sometimes also at the level of
function-argument structure. Treebanks have become crucially important for
the development of data-driven approaches to natural language processing,
human language technologies, grammar extraction and linguistic research in
general. This series of workshops aims at being a forum for researchers and
advanced students working in these areas. 

Call for Participation

Third Workshop on 
TREEBANKS AND LINGUISTIC THEORIES - TLT 2004
Tübingen, Germany, 10-11 December 2004
http://www.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/tlt04

This series of workshops aims at being a forum for researchers and advanced
students working in the following areas:

    * design principles and annotation schemes for treebanks;
    * applications of treebanks in acquiring linguistic knowledge and NLP;
    * the role of linguistic theories in treebank development;
    * treebanks as a basis for linguistic research;
    * semantically annotated treebanks;
    * evaluation of treebanks;
    * tools for creation and management of treebanks;
    * standards for treebanks.
