Meeting Description:

'Corpus-Based Approaches to Paraphrasing and Nominalization'
1-2 December 2010

CBA 2010 aims to bring together linguists and computer scientists working 
on corpus-based approaches to paraphrasing and nominalization. 

Call For Papers

Extended Deadline, Final Call for Papers: 27 September, 2010
  
Please consider to contribute and/or forward to appropriate colleagues and 
groups.

Deadline for paper submission: Monday 27 September, 2010
Workshop location: Universitat de Barcelona
Workshop Email : cba2010 at ub.edu 

Description
The goal of the 'Corpus-based Approaches to Paraphrasing and 
Nominalization' workshop is to discuss different corpus-based approaches 
to the automatic processing of paraphrases and nominal structures. This 
workshop also aims to evaluate to what extent the analysis of paraphrases 
and nominal structures can improve the quality of NLP applications. Finally, 
this workshop might constitute a platform for the exchange of resources and 
tools derived from research projects.  Although paraphrasing and 
nominalization are established as independent research fields, there exists 
a close connection between them: nominalizations can be understood as a 
kind of paraphrase. We believe there is a need to bring together linguists 
and computer scientists, and we invite unpublished contributions related to 
issues in these fields with a special emphasis on -though not limited to:
-Paraphrasing: scope and typology
-Methods for paraphrase extraction, recognition and generation
-Paraphrase corpora compilation
-Formalisms for paraphrase representation
-Multilingual paraphrasing
-Nominalization as a paraphrase subtype
-Nominalizations: analysis and classification
-Semantic Role Labelling for nominalization argument structure
-Recognition and interpretation of nominalizations
-Distribution of semantic selations among NPs, specially nominalized NPs
-Nominalizations in support verb constructions
