The Amsterdam Colloquia aim at bringing together linguists, logicians, philosophers and computer scientists who share an interest in the formal study of semantics of natural and formal languages. The spectrum of topics covered ranges from descriptive (semantic analyses of all kinds of expressions) to theoretical (logical and computational properties of semantic theories, philosophical foundations). The program of the Thirteenth Amsterdam Colloquium consists of: * General Program, which includes invited lectures by: Reinhard Blutner (Berlin) - Gennaro Chierchia (Milan)- Ruth Kempson (London) - Angelika Kratzer (Amherst) * Workshop on Semantics and Cognition, with invited lectures by: Ted Briscoe (Cambridge) - Simon Garrod (Glasgow) - Jonathan Ginzburg (London) - Pieter Muyskens (Nijmegen) * Workshop on Games in Language and Logic, which includes an invited lecture by: Rohit Parikh (CUNY) - Robert Stalnaker (MIT) - Robert Sugden (East Anglia) * A special evening session, organized by the Evert W. Beth Foundation, which features the Beth Lecture given by: Hans Kamp (Stuttgart) Furthermore, there are 32 contributed papers. The complete program and abstracts are available at the website, including information on how to get there, and possible accommodation. Following the Amsterdam Colloquium, on December 20 a one day event will take place, in which the Spinoza project Logic in Action of Johan van Benthem is closed off. Organization The Amsterdam Colloquia are organized every two years under the auspices of the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) of the Universiteit van Amsterdam. The organizing committee of the Thirteenth Amsterdam Colloquium consists of: Robert van Rooy, Martin Stokhof, Rosja Mastop, Marjan Veldhuisen and Willy van Wier.

Current systems for natural language understanding (NLU) are narrow, brittle, and costly. The major barrier to scalable NLU systems has been the vast amount of linguistic and world knowledge needed. But there is now significant progress in compiling the required knowledge, using manual, statistical and hybrid techniques. For this workshop, we assume that the resources for scalable NLU will become available and focus on the conceptual and computational frameworks that will form the foundation for this effort. The symposium aims at bringing together researchers involved in applying semantic analysis to NLU. The goal is to find common ground and exchange ideas in the fields of ontology, semantics, pragmatics, etc. in order to strengthen individual approaches and combine modeling efforts. The workshop will take place in the historical Villa Bosch in Heidelberg, Germany, also home of the European Media Laboratory and the Klaus Tschira Foundation. Both institutions are sponsoring ScaNaLU 2002. Scope/Audience In the ScaNaLU 2002 workshop we intend to bring together researchers working in various sub-fields of natural language understanding with an interest in building scalable systems. The scope of interest includes but is not limited to: - Integrating hybrid approaches - Enhancing natural language understanding through multi-modal input - Natural Language Generation: From sentences to extended discourse - Integration of world knowledge into NLU systems - Semantic formalisms for scalable NLU - Representation standards - Integration of extra-linguistic and pragmatic contexts - (Semi-)automatic acquisition of linguistic and world knowledge - Semantic and pragmatic phenomena (metonomy, metaphor, degree expressions, ...) - Applications requiring deep semantic analysis Workshop format/Schedule The workshop will interleave technical presentations with extensive time for discussion of the presented work. Before the workshop we will assign a commentator for each accepted presentation from the attendees, in order to kick off a lively discussion. Altogether the format will consist of four elements: - Paper presentations with commentators and discussion - Invited talk(s) - Application and device demonstrations with discussion - Panel discussion We will accept paper submissions for both technical presentations and demonstrations. We plan to be reasonably selective in order to have a high quality workshop. The papers will be published in workshop proceedings and we will forward the best ones to an appropriate scientific journal. Submissions Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and should not exceed eight (8) pages, including references. We recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word Style files available at http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~lindek/acl02/style/. Deadline for paper submissions is February 22, 2002. Papers must be submitted electronically to: scanalu at eml.villa-bosch.de. They should be submitted in PDF format.

Autrement dit, si des groupes de mots, exprimés dans des phrases différentes, sont toujours traduits de la même façon, alors qu'ils ne devraient pas l'être, cela voudrait probablemnt dire qu'il s'agit d'un système à mémoire de traduction.

Celles-ci apparaissent en effet nombreuses et multiformes, a l'encontre de certaines idees reçues dont la plus extreme ne voit dans la face visuelle du texte que l'habillage codique aval d'un message au prealable entierement constitue. Il apparait au contraire que ces proprietes morphologiques (typographiques par ex.) et dispositionnelles (distributions spatiales sur des supports) ont des implications diverses, significatives aussi bien que d'efficacite communicationnelle (mais aussi esthetiques par ex.). Surtout, elles sont a la base d'un traitement specifique de phenomenes discursifs (citation par ex.), mais plus encore de la creation d'objets de langage relativement originaux dans leur facture et/ou leur structure : enumerations, paragraphes, titres, parentheses, notes infra-paginales, etc., en relation avec des concepts spatiaux specifiques (lignes, marges, par ex.) dont certains connaissent des redefinitions a l'occasion du developpement d'Internet (celui de page ou de bloc informatif autonome par ex.). Des faits de ponctuation sont a l'evidence aussi partie prenante dans ces aspects. La logique et la semantique de ces phenomenes sont encore tres mal connues, mais il apparait que du point de vue cognitif, la production et la lecture d'un texte mettent en jeu des formes specifiques d'analyses du langage et mobilisent des processus de traitement complexes, que ce soit par l'esprit/cerveau humain, variant dans diverses situations (sujets adultes vs enfants, normaux vs handicapes, experts vs apprenants, etc.), ou par l'ordinateur, variant selon des types d'objectifs et/ou d'utilisateurs (reconnaissance, indexation, resume et generation automatiques, semantique du balisage, etc.). Si dans les sciences du langage l'inscription spatiale constitue encore une facette assez peu exploree en elle-meme, elle est loin cependant d'etre entierement ignoree, bien au contraire.

Donc, une voie possible est de s'intéresser uniquement à une situation donnée. Par exemple, l'achat d'un billet d'avion: -Bonjour, je voudrais un billet pour New York le 14 décembre. ou -Heu, Reste-t-il des départs pour New York le 14 décembre? Pour deux personnes s''il vous plait ou -Je voudrais un billet aller-retour. Pour New York. La semaine du 12 décembre. ou... une infinité de possibilités, mais qui ont un vocabulaire somme toute limité. Je vous écris pour vous demander si vous savez où je peux obtenir ce genre de corpus, correspondant à une situation ou une autre. Cela peut être une demande de la route à un passant, un client parlant à un commerçant, ou tout autre situation. Cela me permettrait de créer un prototype convaincant basé sur notre système de reconnaissance vocale. Je vous remercie d'avance, Cordialement, Anselme Dewavrin IST ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffusé par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN-F/ English version : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN/ Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html La liste LN est parrainée par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhésion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at lipn.univ-paris13.fr Fri Dec 14 17:24:21 2001 From: thierry.hamon at lipn.univ-paris13.fr (Thierry Hamon) Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2001 17:24:21 +0000 Subject: Q: Etiqueteur finnois Message-ID: Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2001 16:01:11 +0100 From: "marie.calberg" Message-Id: <003c01c18254$d52f5fc0$a2f1f8c1 at wanadoo.com> Bonjour, Je recherche un etiqueteur morpho-syntaxique du finnois.

Conference theme: From Research to Real Users Ever since the showdown between Empiricists and Rationalists a decade ago at TMI-92, MT researchers have hotly pursued promising paradigms for MT, including data-driven approaches (e.g., statistical, example-based) and hybrids that integrate these with more traditional rule-based components. During the same period, commercial MT systems with standard transfer architectures have evolved along a parallel and almost unrelated track, increasing their coverage (primarily through manual update of their lexicons, we assume) and achieving much broader acceptance and usage, principally through the medium of the Internet. Web page translators have become commonplace; a number of online translation services have appeared, including in their offerings both raw and post-edited MT; and large corporations have been turning increasingly to MT to address the exigencies of global communication. Still, the output of the transfer-based systems employed in this expansion represents but a small drop in the ever-growing translation marketplace bucket. Now, 10 years later, we wonder if this mounting variety of MT users is any better off, and if the promise of the research technologies is being realized to any measurable degree. In this regard, we pose the following questions: Why aren't any current commercially available MT systems primarily data-driven? Do any commercially available systems integrate (or plan to integrate) data-driven components? Do data-driven systems have significant performance or quality issues? Can such systems really provide better quality to users, or is their main advantage one of fast, facilitated customization? If any new MT technology could provide such benefits (somewhat higher quality, or facilitated customization), would that be the key to more widespread use of MT, or are there yet other more relevant unresolved issues, such as system integration? If better quality, customization, or system integration aren't the answer, then what is it that users really need from MT in order for it to be more useful to them? We solicit participation on these and other topics related to the research, development, and use of MT in the form of original papers, demonstrations, workshops, tutorials, and panels. We invite all who are interested in MT to participate, including developers, researchers, end users, professional translators, managers, and marketing experts. We especially invite users to share their experiences, developers to describe their novel systems, managers and marketers to talk about what is happening in the marketplace, researchers to detail new capabilities or methods, and visionaries to describe the future as they see it. We also welcome and encourage participation by members of AMTA's sister organizations, AAMT in Asia and EAMT in Europe. For planning purposes, preliminary dates for submissions are as follows: Submissions due: April 15, 2002 (Monday) Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2002 (Friday) Final versions due: July 15, 2002 (Monday) Details regarding the conference, including submission guidelines, will be provided shortly on the AMTA Web site: http://www.amtaweb.org Elliott Macklovitch, General Chair Stephen D.

Each of these workshops has contained a practical component, where participants have been asked to carry out exercises involving MT evaluation. These workshops proved to be very illuminating, and have stimulated on-going work in the area, much of it reported in the latest workshop in the series, held at the MT Summit meeting in September of 2001. Results from previous workshops can be consulted at http://www.issco.unige.ch/projects/isle/ewg.html, and the proceedings from the MT Summit in Santiago de Compostela can be requested from the organisers. The workshop at LREC will continue the series, and will consist primarily of hands-on exercises defined to investigate empirically a small number of metrics proposed for evaluation of MT systems and the potential relationships between them. In an effort to develop a more systematic MT evaluation methodology, recent work in the EAGLES and ISLE projects, funded by the EU and NSF, has created a framework of characteristics in terms of which MT evaluations and systems, past and future, can be described and classified. The resulting taxonomy can be consulted at: http://issco-www.unige.ch/projects/isle/taxonomy2/. Previous workshops have led to critical analysis of measures drawn from the literature, and to the creation of new measures. Of the latter, several are aimed at eventual automation of the evaluation task and/or at finding relatively simple and inexpensive measures which correlate well with more complex measures that are hard to automate or expensive to implement. Given this background, the time has come to concentrate on systematizing the actual evaluation measures themselves. For any particular measure, one would like to know how accurate it is, how expensive and/or difficult to apply, how independent of other measures, etc. Very little of this type of information is available to date. This workshop will focus on these issues. The organizers will provide the participants in advance with the materials required to: - perform a small evaluation, using one or two measures - perform a cross-measure analysis of the resulting scores - create a general characterization of the measure's performance. The participants will then apply these measures to the data made available, and bring their results to the workshop in order to integrate them with other participants' results. The overall intention of the workshop is to discover, empirically, what kinds of characteristics are easily determinable, and how accurate they actually are. Only through a process of assessing the evaluations can we eventually arrive at a small but accurate set of measures that adequately cover the set of phenomena MT system evaluators, system developers, and potential MT users care about. It is our hope that participants will feel inspired to continue this process, so that the combined results can be assembled later, integrated into the framework, and become a valuable resource to anyone interested in MT evaluation. ------------------------------------------------------------- Organizing Committee Marianne Dabbadie EVALING, Paris, France Tony Hartley Centre for Translation Studies, University of Leeds, UK Eduard Hovy USC Information Sciences Institute, Marina del Rey, USA Margaret King ISSCO/TIM/ETI, University of Geneva, Switzerland Bente Maegaard Center for Sprogteknologi, Copenhagen, Denmark Sandra Manzi ISSCO/TIM/ETI, University of Geneva, Switzerland Keith J.

Current systems for natural language understanding (NLU) are narrow, brittle, and costly. The major barrier to scalable NLU systems has been the vast amount of linguistic and world knowledge needed. But there is now significant progress in compiling the required knowledge, using manual, statistical and hybrid techniques. For this workshop, we assume that the resources for scalable NLU will become available and focus on the conceptual and computational frameworks that will form the foundation for this effort. The symposium aims at bringing together researchers involved in applying semantic analysis to NLU. The goal is to find common ground and exchange ideas in the fields of ontology, semantics, pragmatics, etc. in order to strengthen individual approaches and combine modeling efforts. The workshop will take place in the historical Villa Bosch in Heidelberg, Germany, also home of the European Media Laboratory and the Klaus Tschira Foundation. Both institutions are sponsoring ScaNaLU 2002. Scope/Audience In the ScaNaLU 2002 workshop we intend to bring together researchers working in various sub-fields of natural language understanding with an interest in building scalable systems. The scope of interest includes but is not limited to: - Integrating hybrid approaches - Enhancing natural language understanding through multi-modal input - Natural Language Generation: From sentences to extended discourse - Integration of world knowledge into NLU systems - Semantic formalisms for scalable NLU - Representation standards - Integration of extra-linguistic and pragmatic contexts - (Semi-)automatic acquisition of linguistic and world knowledge - Semantic and pragmatic phenomena (metonomy, metaphor, degree expressions, ...) - Applications requiring deep semantic analysis Workshop format/Schedule The workshop will interleave technical presentations with extensive time for discussion of the presented work. Before the workshop we will assign a commentator for each accepted presentation from the attendees, in order to kick off a lively discussion. Altogether the format will consist of four elements: - Paper presentations with commentators and discussion - Invited talk(s) - Application and device demonstrations with discussion - Panel discussion We will accept paper submissions for both technical presentations and demonstrations. We plan to be reasonably selective in order to have a high quality workshop. The papers will be published in workshop proceedings and we will forward the best ones to an appropriate scientific journal. Submissions Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and should not exceed eight (8) pages, including references. We recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word Style files available at http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~lindek/acl02/style/. Deadline for paper submissions is February 22, 2002. Papers must be submitted electronically to: scanalu at eml.villa-bosch.de. They should be submitted in PDF format.

Inscription Spatiale du Langage : structures et processus ? a pour objectif d'examiner certaines fonctions des proprietes visuelles des textes (enonces ecrits). Celles-ci apparaissent en effet nombreuses et multiformes, a l'encontre de certaines idees re?ues dont la plus extreme ne voit dans la face visuelle du texte que l'habillage codique aval d'un message au prealable entierement constitue. Il apparait au contraire que ces proprietes morphologiques (typographiques par ex.) et dispositionnelles (distributions spatiales sur des supports) ont des implications diverses, significatives aussi bien que d'efficacite communicationnelle (mais aussi esthetiques par ex.). Surtout, elles sont a la base d'un traitement specifique de phenomenes discursifs (citation par ex.), mais plus encore de la creation d'objets de langage relativement originaux dans leur facture et/ou leur structure : enumerations, paragraphes, titres, parentheses, notes infra-paginales, etc., en relation avec des concepts spatiaux specifiques (lignes, marges, par ex.) dont certains connaissent des redefinitions a l'occasion du developpement d'Internet (celui de page ou de bloc informatif autonome par ex.). Des faits de ponctuation sont a l'evidence aussi partie prenante dans ces aspects. La logique et la semantique de ces phenomenes sont encore tres mal connues, mais il apparait que du point de vue cognitif, la production et la lecture d'un texte mettent en jeu des formes specifiques d'analyses du langage et mobilisent des processus de traitement complexes, que ce soit par l'esprit/cerveau humain, variant dans diverses situations (sujets adultes vs enfants, normaux vs handicapes, experts vs apprenants, etc.), ou par l'ordinateur, variant selon des types d'objectifs et/ou d'utilisateurs (reconnaissance, indexation, resume et generation automatiques, semantique du balisage, etc.). Si dans les sciences du langage l'inscription spatiale constitue encore une facette assez peu exploree en elle-meme, elle est loin cependant d'etre entierement ignoree, bien au contraire.

Conference theme: From Research to Real Users Ever since the showdown between Empiricists and Rationalists a decade ago at TMI-92, MT researchers have hotly pursued promising paradigms for MT, including data-driven approaches (e.g., statistical, example-based) and hybrids that integrate these with more traditional rule-based components. During the same period, commercial MT systems with standard transfer architectures have evolved along a parallel and almost unrelated track, increasing their coverage (primarily through manual update of their lexicons, we assume) and achieving much broader acceptance and usage, principally through the medium of the Internet. Web page translators have become commonplace; a number of online translation services have appeared, including in their offerings both raw and post-edited MT; and large corporations have been turning increasingly to MT to address the exigencies of global communication. Still, the output of the transfer-based systems employed in this expansion represents but a small drop in the ever-growing translation marketplace bucket. Now, 10 years later, we wonder if this mounting variety of MT users is any better off, and if the promise of the research technologies is being realized to any measurable degree. In this regard, we pose the following questions: Why aren't any current commercially available MT systems primarily data-driven? Do any commercially available systems integrate (or plan to integrate) data-driven components? Do data-driven systems have significant performance or quality issues? Can such systems really provide better quality to users, or is their main advantage one of fast, facilitated customization? If any new MT technology could provide such benefits (somewhat higher quality, or facilitated customization), would that be the key to more widespread use of MT, or are there yet other more relevant unresolved issues, such as system integration? If better quality, customization, or system integration aren't the answer, then what is it that users really need from MT in order for it to be more useful to them? We solicit participation on these and other topics related to the research, development, and use of MT in the form of original papers, demonstrations, workshops, tutorials, and panels. We invite all who are interested in MT to participate, including developers, researchers, end users, professional translators, managers, and marketing experts. We especially invite users to share their experiences, developers to describe their novel systems, managers and marketers to talk about what is happening in the marketplace, researchers to detail new capabilities or methods, and visionaries to describe the future as they see it. We also welcome and encourage participation by members of AMTA's sister organizations, AAMT in Asia and EAMT in Europe.

Each of these workshops has contained a practical component, where participants have been asked to carry out exercises involving MT evaluation. These workshops proved to be very illuminating, and have stimulated on-going work in the area, much of it reported in the latest workshop in the series, held at the MT Summit meeting in September of 2001. Results from previous workshops can be consulted at http://www.issco.unige.ch/projects/isle/ewg.html, and the proceedings from the MT Summit in Santiago de Compostela can be requested from the organisers. The workshop at LREC will continue the series, and will consist primarily of hands-on exercises defined to investigate empirically a small number of metrics proposed for evaluation of MT systems and the potential relationships between them. In an effort to develop a more systematic MT evaluation methodology, recent work in the EAGLES and ISLE projects, funded by the EU and NSF, has created a framework of characteristics in terms of which MT evaluations and systems, past and future, can be described and classified. The resulting taxonomy can be consulted at: http://issco-www.unige.ch/projects/isle/taxonomy2/. Previous workshops have led to critical analysis of measures drawn from the literature, and to the creation of new measures. Of the latter, several are aimed at eventual automation of the evaluation task and/or at finding relatively simple and inexpensive measures which correlate well with more complex measures that are hard to automate or expensive to implement. Given this background, the time has come to concentrate on systematizing the actual evaluation measures themselves. For any particular measure, one would like to know how accurate it is, how expensive and/or difficult to apply, how independent of other measures, etc. Very little of this type of information is available to date. This workshop will focus on these issues. The organizers will provide the participants in advance with the materials required to: - perform a small evaluation, using one or two measures - perform a cross-measure analysis of the resulting scores - create a general characterization of the measure's performance. The participants will then apply these measures to the data made available, and bring their results to the workshop in order to integrate them with other participants' results. The overall intention of the workshop is to discover, empirically, what kinds of characteristics are easily determinable, and how accurate they actually are. Only through a process of assessing the evaluations can we eventually arrive at a small but accurate set of measures that adequately cover the set of phenomena MT system evaluators, system developers, and potential MT users care about. It is our hope that participants will feel inspired to continue this process, so that the combined results can be assembled later, integrated into the framework, and become a valuable resource to anyone interested in MT evaluation. ------------------------------------------------------------- Organizing Committee Marianne Dabbadie EVALING, Paris, France Tony Hartley Centre for Translation Studies, University of Leeds, UK Eduard Hovy USC Information Sciences Institute, Marina del Rey, USA Margaret King ISSCO/TIM/ETI, University of Geneva, Switzerland Bente Maegaard Center for Sprogteknologi, Copenhagen, Denmark Sandra Manzi ISSCO/TIM/ETI, University of Geneva, Switzerland Keith J.
