Subject: 14th WORKSHOP ON BUILDING AND USING COMPARABLE CORPORA

 
Full Title: 14th WORKSHOP ON BUILDING AND USING COMPARABLE CORPORA (online) 
Short Title: BUCC 2021 

Date: 06-Sep-2021 - 06-Sep-2021
Location: Online, Germany 
Contact Person: Reinhard Rapp
Meeting Email: reinhardrapp at gmx.de

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

Call Deadline: 05-Jul-2021 

Meeting Description:

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 because
they enable cross-language discoveries and comparisons. It is generally
accepted in both communities that comparable corpora consist of documents that
are comparable in content and form in various degrees and dimensions across
several languages. Parallel corpora are on the one end of this spectrum,
unrelated corpora on the other.

Comparable corpora have been used in a range of applications, including
Information Retrieval, Machine Translation, Cross-lingual text classification,
etc. The linguistic definitions and observations related to comparable corpora
can improve methods to mine such corpora for applications of statistical NLP,
for example to extract parallel corpora from comparable corpora for neural MT.
As such, it is of great interest to bring together builders and users of such
corpora.
