Full Title: 4th International Workshop on Computational Terminology 
Short Title: CompuTerm 2014 

Date: 23-Aug-2014 - 24-Aug-2014
Location: Dublin, Ireland 
Contact Person: Natalia Grabar
Meeting Email: natalia.grabar at univ-lille3.fr
Web Site: http://perso.limsi.fr/hamon/Computerm2014/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; Lexicography; Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 02-May-2014 

Meeting Description:

Computational Terminology covers an increasingly important aspect in Natural
Language Processing areas such as text mining, information retrieval,
information extraction, summarisation, textual entailment, document management
systems, question-answering systems, ontology building, etc. Terminological
information is paramount for knowledge mining from texts for scientific
discovery and competitive intelligence. Scientific needs in fast growing
domains (such as biomedicine, chemistry and ecology) and the overwhelming
amount of textual data published daily demand that terminology is acquired and
managed systematically and automatically; while in well established domains
(such as law, economy, banking and music) the demand is on fine-grained
analyses of documents for knowledge description and acquisition. Moreover,
capturing new concepts leads to the acquisition and management of new
knowledge.

Call for Papers:

The workshop submissions are open to different approaches, ranging from term extraction in various languages (using verb co-occurrence, information theoretic approaches, machine learning, etc.), translation pairs extracting from bilingual corpora based on terminology, up to semantic oriented approaches and theoretical aspects of terminology. Besides, experiments on the evaluation of terminological methods and tools are also encouraged since they provide interesting and useful proof about the utility of terminological resources: 

- Direct evaluation may concern the efficiency of the terminological methods and tools to capture the terminological entities and relations, as well as various kinds of related information
- Indirect evaluation may concern the use of terminological resources in various NLP applications and the impact these resources have on the performance of the automatic systems. In this case, research and competition tracks (such as TREC, BioCreative, CLEF, CLEF-eHealth, I2B2, *SEM, and other shared tasks), provide particularly fruitful evaluation contexts and proved very successful in identifying key problems in terminology such as term variation and ambiguity.

We encourage authors to submit their research work related to various aspects of computational terminology, such as mentioned in this call. The workshop authors will be proposed to submit an extented version of their work to a special issue of an international journal or of a book collection.

Submission Instructions:

Authors are invited to submit full papers on original, unpublished work in the topic area of this workshop.
 Submissions should follow the COLING 2014 instruction for authors and be formatted using the COLING 2014 stylefiles for latex, MS Word or LibreOffice, with blind review and not exceeding 8 pages plus two extra pages for references.

The PDF files will be submitted electronically at https://www.softconf.com/coling2014/WS-9/

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

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!
