Meeting Description:

Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb 
(FFZG), Croatian Language Technologies Society (HDJT) the Laboratoire 
de Sémio-Linguistique et Didactique (LASELDI) of the University Franche-
Comté and the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme et de l'Environnement 
Ledoux organize the 2011 NooJ Conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia from 13-
15 June, 2011.

NooJ is both a corpus processing tool and a linguistic development 
environment: it allows linguists to formalize several levels of linguistic 
phenomena: orthography and spelling; lexicons of simple words; multiword 
units and frozen expressions; inflectional, derivational and productive 
morphology; local, structural syntax and transformational syntax. For each 
of these levels NooJ provides linguists with one or more formal tools 
specifically designed to facilitate the description of each phenomenon, as 
well as parsing tools designed to be as computationally efficient as possible. 
This approach distinguishes NooJ from most computational linguistic tools, 
which provide a single formalism that could describe every linguistic 
phenomena. As a corpus processing tool, NooJ allows users to apply 
sophisticated linguistic queries to large corpora in order to build indices and 
concordances, annotate texts automatically, perform statistical analyses, 
etc.

NooJ is freely available and linguistic modules can already be freely 
downloaded for Acadian, Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, 
Croatian, French, English, German, Hebrew, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, 
Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish. A dozen other modules are under 
construction.

The conference intends to:
-give NooJ users and researchers in Linguistics and in Computational 
Linguistics the opportunity to meet and share their experience as 
developers, researchers and teachers; 
-present to NooJ users the latest linguistic resources and NLP 
applications developed for/with NooJ, its latest functionalities, as well as its 
future developments; 
-offer researchers and graduate students two tutorials (one basic and one 
advanced) to help them parse corpora and build NLP applications using 
NooJ. 
-provide the occasion to present and discover the recent developments of 
NooJ itself (v3.0).

Topics of interest:

-Semantic analysis
-Syntactic analysis
-Lexical analysis
-Linguistic resources
-Dictionaries
