Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Morphology 

Meeting Description: 

The Workshop on Systems and Frameworks for Computational Morphology (SFCM) brings together researchers and developers in the area of computational morphology and morphological theory used in computational systems. The focus of SFCM are actual working systems for linguistically motivated morphological analysis and generation, computational frameworks for implementing such systems, and linguistic frameworks suitable for computational implementation. Applications of morphological systems, e.g., in natural language processing, linguistics, or digital humanities, are also relevant topics.

The fourth edition of SFCM in 2015 will bring together communities involved with the study of morphology. SFCM 2015 will focus on computational approaches to theoretical and descriptive morphology. It will broaden the workshop's scope by addressing computational linguists working on computational morphology, linguists from theoretical morphology, and field linguists working on rich morphological data using computational methods and tools. We aim to encourage discussion among researchers and developers from those communities and to contribute to filling the gap between NLP and linguistic communities around state-of-the-art approaches to morphology, be it computational, quantitative, formal, or descriptive.

Date and Location:

Location: University of Stuttgart, Germany (Please note change!)
Date: September 17-18, 2015

The proceedings of SFCM 2015 will be published by Springer-Verlag in their CCIS series.

SFCM is an activity of the SIG Generation and Parsing of the German Society for Computational Linguistics and Language Technology (GSCL). 

Program:

SFCM 2015 will be hosted at the Institute for Natural Language Processing (IMS), University of Stuttgart (Germany). You are cordially invited to attend SFCM 2015, listen to the talks,
watch the demos, and participate in the discussions—and join us for a nice dinner on Thursday evening. Please register online at http://sfcm.eu/sfcm2015/ before August 14, 2015.

We will have a keynote and four sessions with talks. The time slot for each talk will be 30 minutes, including discussion.

We will also have a demo session. Participants can demonstrate their systems and applications, there will be time to try and discuss them with the presenters.

SFCM 2015 features a special session dedicated to CLARIN.

The following program is preliminary.
