Meeting Description:

16th International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories 

http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/tlt16

Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic

TLT serves as a venue for new and ongoing research on the topic of linguistics
and treebanks. The 16th edition of TLT will take place in Prague, Czech
Republic, in the heart of the old city, on 23-24 January 2018. 

Topics:

TLT16 invites submission on original and unpublished research on: 

- Design principles and annotation schemes 
- The use of treebanks in acquiring linguistic knowledge 
- The use of treebanks for NLP applications 
- The role of linguistic theories in treebank development 
- Treebanks as a knowledge source for linguistic research 
- Treebank annotation beyond syntax: semantics, pragmatics and discourse
- Relation of treebanks and lexical resources 
- Evaluation and quality control of treebanks 
- Tools for creation and management
- Treebanks for lesser-resourced languages 
- Theories, schemas and applications for parallel treebanks 
- Standards
- (Semi-)automatic methods for creating large treebanks 
- Mapping of treebanks to Linked Open Data resources 
- Domain-specific treebanks 
- The future of treebanks and treebanking 
- Multi-word expressions in treebanks 
- Language-universal annotation for treebanks 
- Relation of treebanking to linguistic typology


Call for Papers: 

Submissions are invited for papers, posters and demonstrations which present
research on treebanks and their intersection with linguistics, natural
language processing and related fields.

Special Topic: 
This year, we specifically invite papers on all aspects of the relation of
linguistically motivated complex annotation, such as treebanking, and deep
learning methods. Topics of such papers may include, but are not limited to: 
- a comparison of application performance using a linguistic representation
vs. end-to-end Deep Neural Network system, or any particular aspects of it
(e.g., differences in recall vs. precision)
- analysis of errors made by a deep-learning system vs. a system using
linguistic features or representation
- approaches to ''soften'' categorical annotation usually present in treebanks
by using distributional methods
- specific aspects of deep learning when applied to complex treebanks
- advantages or disadvantages of deep learning from treebanks in a
multilingual setting.  

Instructions for Authors:

Please see http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/tlt16/. 

Authors of outstanding papers as identified by the PC members will be invited
to submit an extended version to The Prague Bulletin of Mathematical
Linguistics (https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/pbml), an ERIH-Plus listed journal
published online by deGruyter in cooperation with Charles University.

Important Dates:
   
- 23 June 2017: Submission system open
- 9 November 2017: Deadline for submissions, registration open 
- 21 November 2017: Notification of acceptance
- 11 December 2017: Final papers due 
- 23-24 January 2018: The conference
