CALL FOR PAPERS: Perfectivity and Telicity in Scandinavian Languages
LAGB Satellite Workshop on Perfectivity and Telicity: Saturday, Sept. 3
(eve.) and Sunday, Sept. 4, 2005 Cambridge University
Abstract submissions are invited for a one-and-a-half day workshop on the
interaction of aspect and aktionsart across languages, sponsored by the
British Academy. The workshop will focus particularly on perfective
viewpoint aspect and telic aktionsart and their interaction, from
semantic, syntactic and psycholinguistic viewpoints. The conference will
take place at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, on Sunday, Sept. 4, 2005,
the day after the annual Linguistics Association of Great Britain meeting
at the same location.
The workshop will open with a special evening session, focussing on
Scandinavian languages, on Saturday the 3rd of September. There will be
four talks in this session, 20 minutes long, followed by 10 for questions.
If your paper draws on data from Scandinavian languages and you would like
your abstract to be considered for this session, please write
'Scandinavian session' below your abstract title.
Papers on any language family are welcome in the main session of the
workshop, on Sun. 4th Sept.
A proceedings volume with a major publisher is planned.
Workshop organizers:
Raffaella Folli, University of Cambridge
Heidi Harley, University of Arizona
Invited speakers:
Hamida Demirdache, University of Nantes
Jacqueline Gueron, University of Paris III
Angeleik van Hout, University of Groningen
Gillian Ramchand, University of Tromsø

Meeting Description:
HLT/EMNLP 2005
Human Language Technology Conference/
Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing
Oct. 6-8, 2005 in Vancouver, B.C., Canada
URL: http://www.hlt-emnlp05.org
In 2005, HLT (Human Language Technology Conference) and EMNLP (Conference
on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing) will be a joint
conference held in Vancouver, B.C.
Venue:
Westin Bayshore Resort & Marina, Vancouver B.C., Canada
http://www.westinbayshore.com
Located on the Waterfront between Stanley Park, the Pacific Ocean, downtown
Vancouver, and Coal Harbour with spectacular views of the Inner Harbor and
Coastal Mountains; only a short walk away from North America's largest
urban park and minutes from the heart of downtown, shopping centres and
restaurants.
Preliminary Call for Papers:
HLT/EMNLP 2005 continues the conference series jointly sponsored by the
Human Language Technology Advisory Board (HLT) and the Association for
Computational Linguistics (ACL). This year's conference is co-sponsored by
SIGDAT, the ACL's special interest group on linguistic data and
corpus-based approaches to NLP, which has traditionally sponsored the
Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) Conferences. The
joint conference provides a unified forum for researchers across a spectrum
of disciplines to present recent, high-quality, cutting-edge work, to
exchange ideas, and to explore emerging new research directions. The
conference especially encourages submissions that discuss synergistic
combinations of language technologies (e.g., Speech with Information
Retrieval, Machine Translation with Speech, Question Answering with Natural
Language Processing, etc.). Particular consideration will be given to
papers addressing novel learning tasks and evaluation metrics in speech,
natural language processing and information retrieval, including e.g.
- learning tasks insufficiently addressed in the past, e.g. collaborative
learning, learning in the presence of background knowledge, or finding
anomalies in data;
- limits of standard evaluation methods on new tasks;
- novel performance measures incorporating user preferences, competence, or
relevance to a given problem;
- learning and optimization algorithms addressing the above, e.g. novel
statistical methods or cognitively inspired solutions.
We are interested in papers from academia, government, and industry on all
areas of traditional interest to the HLT and SIGDAT communities, as well as
aligned fields, including but not limited to:
- Speech processing, including:
* Speech recognition
* Speech generation
* Speech summarization
* Rich transcription: annotation of speech signals with metalinguistic
information, such as speaker identity, attitude, emotion, etc.
* Speech-based human-computer interfaces
- Text summarization
- Question answering
- Paraphrasing
- Computational analysis of phonology, morphology, prosody, syntax,
semantics, pragmatics, discourse, style
- Statistical techniques for language processing, including
* Corpus-based language modeling
* Lexical and knowledge acquisition
- Language generation and text planning
- Sentence parsing and discourse analysis
- Multilingual processing, including
* Machine translation of speech and text
* Cross-language information retrieval
* Multi-lingual speech recognition and language identification
- Evaluation, including
* Glass-box evaluation of HLT systems and system components
* Back-box evaluation of HLT systems in application settings
- Development of language resources, including
* Lexicons and ontologies
* Treebanks, proposition banks, and frame banks
- Understanding of human communication, including
* Natural language interfaces
* Dialogue structure and dialogue systems
* Message and narrative understanding systems
- Information extraction from multiple media
- Information retrieval, including
* Formal models, clustering and classification
* Web mining for IR
* Natural language processing for IR
* Spoken IR
* Metadata annotation and XML IR
Important Dates:
Submission deadline: June 3, 2005
Notification of acceptance: July 29, 2005
Submission of camera-ready papers: August 12, 2005
Conference: October 6-8, 2005
Submissions:
* Requirements: Submissions must describe original, completed, unpublished
work, and include concrete evaluation results when appropriate. Papers
being submitted to other meetings must provide this information (see
submission format). In the event of multiple acceptances, authors are
requested to immediately notify the HLT/EMNLP program chair and to choose
which meeting to present and publish the work at as soon as possible. We
cannot accept for publication or presentation work that will be (or has
been) published elsewhere.
* Format: Papers must be submitted electronically in Postscript (PS) or
Portable Document Format (PDF). They should follow the ACL formatting
guidelines and should not exceed eight (8) pages in two-column format,
including references and illustrations. Papers exceeding the maximum length
may be rejected without review. Authors are encouraged to use the style
files provided on the HLT/EMNLP05 website. We strongly prefer submissions
in PS format. Any author who submits in PDF must assume the responsibility
for ensuring that fonts are treated properly so that the paper will print
(not just view) anywhere. (This may involve reading the manual.) DOC/RTF
formats cannot be accepted.
* Reviewing: Reviewing will be blind. No information identifying the
authors should be in the paper: this includes not only the authors' names
and affiliations, but also self-references that reveal authors' identities;
for example, ''We have previously shown (Smith 1999)'' should be changed to
''Smith (1999) has previously shown''. Names and affiliations should be
listed on a separate identification page.
* Procedure: Papers must be submitted electronically by 12.a.m. GMT on June
3, 2005, through the conference website. In addition, information about
each paper must be provided, including
* Paper title
* Authors names, affiliations, and contact information
* Contact author
* A short list of keywords (selected from a predefined list)
* Abstract (no more than 300 words)
* A statement whether the paper has been or will be submitted to
other conferences
Authors who cannot submit a file electronically should contact the program
chairs before the due date to arrange alternative forms of submission.
After notifications of acceptance have been issued, authors will have the
opportunity to revise their submissions in accordance with reviewers'
comments. The due date for the final submission of camera-ready papers is
August 12, 2005.
