Meeting Description:

11th Workshop on Building and Using Comparable Corpora
Co-located with LREC 2018, Phoenix Seagaia Resort, Miyazaki, Japan
Tuesday, May 8, 2018

In the language engineering and the linguistics communities, research in
comparable corpora has been motivated by two main reasons. In language
engineering, on the one hand, it is chiefly motivated by the need to use
comparable corpora as training data for statistical NLP applications such 
as statistical and neural machine translation or cross-lingual retrieval. In
linguistics, on the other hand, comparable corpora are of interest in
themselves by making possible cross-language discoveries and comparisons. It
is generally accepted in both communities that comparable corpora are 
documents in one or several languages that are comparable in content and form
in various degrees and dimensions. We believe that the linguistic definitions
and observations related to comparable corpora can improve methods to mine
such corpora for applications of statistical NLP. As such, 
it is of great interest to bring together builders and users of such corpora. 

Shared Task: Identifying parallel sentences in comparable corpora

Call for Papers:

11th WORKSHOP ON BUILDING AND USING COMPARABLE CORPORA
Co-located with LREC 2018, Phoenix Seagaia Resort, Miyazaki, Japan
Tuesday, May 8, 2018

Submission deadline: January 20, 2018

Topics:

Given that LREC takes place for the first time in Asia, this year's special
theme is ''Comparable Corpora for Asian Languages''. But we solicit
contributions also on all other topics related to comparable corpora.

Submission Information:

Please follow the style sheet and templates provided for the main conference
at http://lrec2018.lrec-conf.org/en/submission/authors-kit/
The submission website is https://www.softconf.com/lrec2018/BUCC2018/
Papers should be submitted as a PDF file. Submissions must describe original
and unpublished work and range from four (4) to eight (8) pages including
references. 
Reviewing will be double blind, so the papers should not reveal the authors’
identity. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings.
Double submission policy: Parallel submission to other meetings or
publications is possible but must be immediately notified to the workshop
organizers.
For further information, please contact Reinhard Rapp: reinhardrapp at gmx.de
