Full Title: 2014 Joint Meeting of SIGMORPHON and SIGFSM 

Date: 27-Jun-2014 - 27-Jun-2014
Location: Baltimore, MD, USA 
Contact Person: Jeffrey Heinz

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Morphology; Phonetics; Phonology 

Call Deadline: 28-Mar-2014 

Meeting Description:

The purpose of the joint workshop is to bring together researchers interested in applying computational techniques to problems in morphology, phonology, and phonetics and researchers interested in applying finite-state methods to problems in natural language processing.

One of the missions of SIGMORPHON is to encourage interaction between work in computational linguistics and work in theoretical phonetics, phonology and morphology, and to ensure that each of these fields profits from the interaction. Recent SIGMORPHON meetings have been successful in this regard, and we hope to see this continue in 2014. Similarly, SIGFSM aims to bolster interaction and exchange between computational linguistics, theoretical linguistics, and theoretical computer science. 

This 1-day workshop, endorsed by both SIGMORPHON and SIGFSM, is a strong step towards establishing a meeting point where these communities learn from each other's experience, exchange ideas, and follow the advances in research groups working on different but related fields.

This workshop will be the thirteenth meeting of SIGMORPHON (formerly called SIGPHON) and an off-year event for SIGFSM. It will be a full-day workshop consisting of invited presentations, contributed presentations, and a special panel session on open problems.

The workshop will be held on June 27, 2014 immediately after the ACL 2014 meeting at Marriott Waterfront, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

Keynote Speaker:

Jason Eisner (Johns Hopkins University) agreed to give the keynote speech.

Final Call for Papers:

2014 Joint Meeting of SIGMORPHON and SIGFSM
MORPHFSM 2014

Deadline Extension:

The submission deadline is extended to March 28, 2014, 23:59 EDT.

Description:

Research papers will be on substantial, original, and unpublished research, potentially including strong work in progress. Panel papers will identify open problems of significant interest. Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to) the following as they relate to the areas of SIGMORPHON and SIGFSM:

- Unsupervised, semi-supervised, or machine learning of linguistic knowledge and finite-state models
- New formalisms, computational treatments, or probabilistic models of linguistic generalizations
- Finite-state models of language
- Practices for building and evaluating morphological models for the world's languages using finite-state technology
- Models or analysis of psycholinguistic, experimental results
- Morpheme identification and word segmentation
- Machine transliteration, back-transliteration, G2P, P2G
- Speech science or technologies relating to phonetics or phonology
- Analysis or exploitation of multilingual, multi-dialectal, or diachronic data
- Integration of morphology, phonology, phonetics, or finite-state methods with other NLP tasks
- Tools, resources and finite-state manipulation software

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to: https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to donate by check, money order, PayPal or wire transfer, please visit: http://linguistlist.org/donation/

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
