2nd CALL FOR PAPERS

                       EACL 2006 Workshop on
       Multi-dimensional Markup in Natural Language Processing:
              5th Workshop on NLP and XML (NLPXML-2006)

               http://ilps.science.uva.nl/nlpxml2006/

                    April 4, 2006, Trento, Italy

                  Submission deadline: January 6, 2006 

The EACL 2006 Workshop on Multi-dimensional Markup in Natural Language
Processing will be hosted in conjunction with the 11th Conference of the
European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, which will
take place April 3-7, 2006, in Trento, italy.

This workshop is also the fifth in the NLPXML series, following workshops at
NLPRS 2001 in Tokyo, COLING 2002 in Taipei, EACL 2003 in Budapest, and ACL 2004
in Barcelona. 

- TOPICS

The widespread adoption of XML within the NLP community as the main standard for
both data and meta-data representation has led to research in a number of issues
relating to XML and NLP.  One particularly interesting challenge arises from the
difficulty in combining annotations resulting from disparate NLP systems in a
single hierarchical structure.  For downstream applications that rely on a range
of linguistic annotations, problems such as crossing boundaries and overlapping
elements from different sources make it difficult to query data with multiple
dimensions of annotation.

As in previous NLPXML workshops, we invite papers addressing the full range of
topics relating NLP and XML.  The special focus of this workshop is
multi-dimensional markup.  Our goal is to bring together researchers from
several different fields --- natural language processing, corpus linguistics,
markup languages, and information retrieval --- to discuss theoretical and
practical issues related to the integration of different layers of text
annotation.  Thus, we particularly welcome papers that discuss the problems
associated with such integration as well as those that provide solutions,
whether proposed or implemented, within any of the four fields.  We are
especially interested in the effects that chosen solutions have on the type of
queries that can be made, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view.

- SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit full papers on original, unpublished work in the
topic area of this workshop.  Submissions should be formatted using the EACL
2006 stylefiles with overt author and affiliation information and not exceeding
8 pages. The EACL 2006 stylefiles are available at
http://eacl06.itc.it/submission/submission.htm

Please send your PDF file no later than January 6, 2006, to
ahn (at) science.uva.nl

Each submission will be reviewed at least by two members of the programme
committee.  Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings.

Dual submissions to the main EACL 2006 conference and this workshop are allowed;
if you submit to the main session, do indicate this when you submit to the
workshop.  If your paper is accepted for the main session, you should withdraw
your paper from the workshop upon notification by the main session.

2nd Call for Papers

The EACL 2006 Workshop on Adaptive Text Extraction and Mining  will be  hosted
in conjunction with the 11th Conference of the  European Chapter  of the
Association for Computational Linguistics  that will take place  April 3-7,
2006, in Trento, Italy.

Adaptive extraction and mining from texts is an active area of research that
lies at the intersection of diverse fields such as information extraction, text
mining, machine learning, data mining, information  retrieval, and knowledge
capture. As developments in any of these fields have an immediate effect on the
other ones, the workshop's goal is to bring together researchers and
practitioners from these communities, so that they can discuss recent results
and foster new directions of research.  

- SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit full papers on original, unpublished work in the
topic area of this workshop.  Submissions should be formatted using the EACL
2006 stylefiles with overt author and affiliation information and not exceeding

Please submit your paper no later than January 6, 2006, using the  online
submission form available at
