Meeting Description:

With this workshop we try to bring together researchers that work on 
annotating parallel corpora for various languages and purposes and 
researchers that explore such resources for various applications. 

Call For Papers

In recent years parallel corpora have become ever more useful for data-
driven Machine Translation, Word Sense Disambiguation, or Cross-
language Information Retrieval. Most of the time parallel corpora were used 
as raw texts (i.e. without any linguistic annotation) or with independent 
linguistic annotation (i.e. linguistic annotation that was applied to either 
language side without resort to the other). We believe that the full potential 
of parallel corpora will be reached when parallel corpora are aligned and 
annotated concurrently. Many research strands like the automatic creation 
of parallel treebanks and parallel parsing point in this direction. In particular 
the popularity of syntax-enhanced approaches to statistical machine 
translation and the rise of multilingual corpus linguistics indicate the 
relevance of this workshop at this point in time.

With this workshop we try to bring together researchers that work on 
annotating parallel corpora for various languages and purposes and 
researchers that explore such resources for various applications. The 
following research areas will be addressed:

-Parallel Treebanks (manual or automatic creation)
-Cross-language Word Alignment and Phrase-Structure Alignment
-Parallel Grammars, Parallel Parsing
-Grammar Induction
-Parallel Semantic Annotation
-Parallel Referent Resolution and Anaphora
-Annotation Projection
-Multi-parallel Corpora
-Tools for Multilingual Corpus Linguistics
-Exploitation of Parallel Corpora for Evaluation
-Annotated Parallel Corpora for Machine Translation
-Novel Applications of Annotated Parallel Corpora

AEPC Workshop Schedule

-Deadline for paper submission: 26 September 2010
-Notification of acceptance: 24 October 2010
-Final version of paper for workshop proceedings: 15 November 2010
-Workshop: 2 December 2010

AEPC Paper Submission

-Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair submission system:
-http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aepc2010

going work. The length of the paper (within the given limits) will not have 
any influence on the outcome of the reviewing process.
