Meeting Description: 

7th Linguistic Annotation Workshop & Interoperability with Discourse (LAW VII & ID)
Sponsored by the ACL Special Interest Group on Annotation (SIGANN)

Held in Conjunction with the 51st Annual Association for Computational Linguistics Conference (ACL’13)

Workshop Overview:

Linguistic annotation of natural language corpora is the backbone of supervised methods for statistical natural language processing. It also provides valuable data for evaluation of both rule-based and supervised systems and can help formalize and study linguistic phenomena.

The LAW provides a forum for presentation and discussion of innovative research on all aspects of linguistic annotation, including creation/evaluation of annotation schemes, methods for automatic and manual annotation, use and evaluation of annotation software and frameworks, representation of linguistic data and annotations, etc. This year, a significant part of the workshop will focus on the special theme of Interoperability with Discourse. 

Workshop Chairs:

Stefanie Dipper, Ruhr-University Bochum
Maria Liakata, University of Warwick/European Bioinformatics Institute Cambridge
Antonio Pareja-Lora, SIC & ILSA, UCM / ATLAS, UNED

Organizing Committee:

Sophia Ananiadou (University of Manchester)
Cathy Blake (University of Illinois)
Alex Chengyu Fang (City University of Hong Kong)
Chu-Ren Huang (The Hong Kong Polytechnic University)
Nancy Ide (Vassar College)
Piroska Lendvai (Hungarian Academy of Sciences)

Featuring papers on sparse annotations and error correction, comparison & evaluation, discourse and semantic annotations and novel annotation methods.

The special theme this year is interoperability between diverse annotations and discourse, introducing a hands-on shared task and discussion.
