Short Title: LAW X 2016 

Date: 11-Aug-2016 - 12-Aug-2016
Location: Berlin, Germany 
Contact Person: Annemarie Friedrich
Meeting Email: law-x-2016 at coli.uni-saarland.de

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 08-May-2016 

Meeting Description:

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, evaluation of manual and
automatically-produced annotations, etc. 

We encourage submission of papers relating to this year's theme: Evaluation of
Annotation Quality.

This special theme considers current practice in evaluation of linguistic
annotations and its successes and failures by asking questions such as: How
are we as a community measuring inter-annotator agreement to date, and are
there sounder ways to measure it? How can we estimate the annotation quality
of existing resources, and what can be done to document annotated data to help
others assess its reliability? 

We encourage submissions addressing the following topics related to the
special theme:

- How agreement is measured in various (new or existing) annotation projects,
and what the different scores tell us in each case
- Good acceptance thresholds for different annotation tasks and metrics,
and/or how to determine them
- Previously proposed but not widely used measures for agreement or annotation
quality
- Proposals for quantitative or qualitative methods to measure agreement or
annotation quality
- Proposals for documentation of published resources to support their
evaluation, means and methods to achieve community evaluation of
linguistically-annotated resources, etc.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. 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

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 eLinguistics 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!
