Subject: Challenges for Wordnets

 
Full Title: Challenges for Wordnets 

Date: 18-Jun-2017 - 18-Jun-2017
Location: Galway, Ireland 
Contact Person: Maciej Piasecki

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Lexicography; Semantics 

Call Deadline: 30-Mar-2017 

Meeting Description:

Wordnets are increasingly widely used to model word meaning in natural
language processing tasks. However, there are still many challenges in
accurately describing word meanings and making these descriptions useful for
both human and machine users. This workshop aims to identify, discuss and
start to solve existing challenges.

Much research on wordnets focuses either on their construction or their use in
some application. Few papers bridge the gap by discussing how different
wordnet models and construction methods affect their effectiveness in use, or
how different applications require different parts of language to be modeled.

For this reason, we are experimenting with a new workshop series challenges
for wordnet, to give wordnet users and developers a chance to share
experiences both good and bad. It will be co-located with the First Conference
on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK 2017) in Galway, Ireland. The workshop
will start with some short presentations and then finish with an extended
discussion based on the challenges presented.

The workshop is supported by the CLARIN-PL research infrastructure
(http://clarin-pl.eu).

LDK 2017 conference received support from the Global WordNet Association
Board.


Call for Papers:

Please submit papers of between 4-10 pages, excluding references, formatted
using the Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence formatting

workshop.

Authors of good submissions will be invited to submit extended versions for a
special issue of the Cognitive Studies | Études cognitives journal

will be carefully peer reviewed, but the scope of this special issue will be
set in advance.
