Thanks. Apologies for multiple posts. ================================================================ COLING-2002: Call for Papers [2001/11/14] ================================================================ 19th International Conference on Computational Linguistics August, 24 - September, 1, 2002 Howard International House, Taipei, Taiwan ================================================================ Organized by: Academia Sinica, ACLCLP and Tsing Hua University Under the Auspices of: The International Committee on Computational Linguistics URL: http://www.coling2002.sinica.edu.tw/ ================================================================ COLING is the most prominent conference in the field of Computational Linguistics. In its 40 plus years of existence, the biennial COLING has been a productive forum for scholars all over the world to exchange original research papers on a broad range of topics in computational linguistics. COLING is an international forum for discussion and presentation representing the current state of the art and determining standards of computational linguistics research. In 2002, Taiwan will host the 19th COLING conference. This will be the first time that COLING is held outside Europe, North America, or Japan. It will be a chance for participants to experience the energy behind Taiwan's vibrant growth in knowledge technology, as well as the natural beauty of Formosa and its rich cultural heritage. Submitted papers should describe original work, completed or in progress, rather than merely planned, and clearly indicate the current state of advancement of the work. No previously published papers should be submitted. Simultaneous submission to other conferences is allowed provided it is explicitly indicated on the identification page. In line with the practice established in previous COLING conferences, authors will be asked to place their submission in one of two categories: 1. Regular papers, of not more than seven pages, presenting results of original complete research, and 2. Project notes, of five pages or less, describing ongoing research or demonstrating a system. Method of Submission: o Complete a Paper Submission Form (http://www.ikp.uni-bonn.de/coling2002/psf.html). This form may be updated up to the deadline for paper submissions (15 February 2002). o For your paper use the layout and format of papers described in the LATEX or Microsoft Word Style sheets (For more details on paper submission see http://www.ikp.uni-bonn.de/coling2002/psg.html). o Electronic submissions of papers are strongly preferred. Papers should be sent to coling2002 at ikp.uni-bonn.de. o Hard copy papers are also accepted. Further details will be available later.

Submissions must not exceed five pages in camera-ready format. Submissions of unformatted papers are limited to 6000 words including footnotes, figure captions, tables, appendices, and bibliography. Each half-page of figures will be counted as 600 words. (Please note that for some papers five camera-ready pages may be considerably less than 6000 words in practice.) Overlengthy submissions will be rejected without review. Authors submitting unformatted papers must include a word count on their paper. Guidelines on the format of submissions are available on the ECAI 2002 Style Guide page (http://ecai2002.univ-lyon1.fr/cfp/style.html). Latex style files to support formatting of submissions are also available (http://ecai2002.univ-lyon1.fr/cfp/latex). Final versions of accepted papers will be required to conform strictly to the formatting requirements specified in the ECAI 2002 Style Guide. Each accepted paper will be allocated five pages in the proceedings. Submission procedure Submission is a two-stage process. Authors are asked to submit a brief summary of their paper by 18 January 2002, followed by their full paper before 22 January 2002 (23:59 CET). The strongly preferred submission method for summaries is to use the web-based summary submission form (http://ecai2002.univ-lyon1.fr/ecai/summary_submission.html). Submitted summaries will be assigned a unique tracking number that should be marked on the full paper submission. Authors without access to the web should send a summary including the title, authors, contact address and abstract of the paper (maximum 200 words), plus keywords drawn from this list (plus other key-words if appropriate) to the ECAI 2002 Programme Chair (by email or postal mail). The summary information and the tracking number should also be included with the paper itself, on a separate sheet of paper. Authors not able to use the web-based submission form may omit the tracking number. The strongly preferred submission method for full papers is electronically, by email to: ecai2002-submission at cs.vu.nl Only PDF files will be accepted. A free service to convert a number of widely used file formats to PDF is available at http://createpdf.adobe.com/ (the first three uses of this service are for free). Submissions in hardcopy may also be made if electronic submission is prob-lematic for the authors. In that case, six copies of the paper (each including the summary sheet) should be sent by postal mail or courier service to the ECAI 2002 Programme Chair, Frank van Harmelen, at the address below. The deadline for receipt of papers is 22 January 2002 (23:59 CET) for both electronic and hardcopy submissions. Papers received after this date will not be reviewed. Notification of receipt of full papers will be mailed to the corresponding author soon after receipt. ------------------------------------------------------------ ADDRESS FOR SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------------------------ Frank van Harmelen, ECAI 2002 Programme Chair Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Vrije Universiteit De Boelelaan 1081a, 1081HV Amsterdam The Netherlands Summary form: http://ecai2002.univ-lyon1.fr/ecai/summary_submission.html Email submission: ecai2002-submission at cs.vu.nl Email correspondence: ecai2002 at cs.vu.nl Tel: +31-20-444 7700 Fax: +31-84-872 2806 ------------------------------------------------------------ Anonymous reviewing process ECAI 2002 will operate an anonymous reviewing process. Reviewing for ECAI 2002 will be blind to the identities of the authors and their institutions. To allow for blind reviewing replace the authors line in your submission by the unique tracking number assigned by the submission of the summary form (or leave it empty in case you are not able to use the web-based summary submission form). Please avoid identifying self-references. Replace phrases like "We have shown in [n]" by "In [n] it has been shown ...". Multiple submissions policy ECAI 2002 will not accept any paper which at the time of submission is under review for, or has already been published or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference. Authors are also expected not to submit their papers elsewhere during the review period. These restrictions only apply to journals and conferences and not to workshops or similar specialised meetings with limited audiences. The title page should include a statement that "this paper is not under review or accepted for publication in another conference or journal". The review process All submissions will be subject to academic peer review by the ECAI 2002 Programme Committee under the chairmanship of the ECAI 2002 Programme Committee Chair. The ECAI 2002 Programme Committee Chair has final authority over the review process and all decisions relating to acceptance of papers. Review criteria include originality of ideas, technical soundness, significance of results, and quality of presentation. Notification of acceptance or rejection of submitted papers will be mailed to the corresponding author by 22 April 2002. Awards The best paper of the conference, as selected by the ECAI 2002 Programme Committee, will receive a prize sponsored by Elsevier Science. The authors will also be invited to publish a longer version of the paper in the Artificial Intelligence journal. The authors of the 10 next best papers will all be invited to submit a long version of their paper to a special fast-review track of the Artificial Intelligence journal. Conference proceedings The conference proceedings will be published and distributed by IOS Press on paper and as a CD-ROM. The authors will be responsible for producing camera-ready copies of papers, conforming to the ECAI 2002 formatting guidelines, for inclusion in the proceedings. The deadline for receipt of the camera-ready copy is 10 May 2002. Note that at least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the conference to present the paper. Support for Central and Eastern Europe ECAI 2002 is dedicated to supporting AI research in Central and Eastern Europe. A travel grant to attend the conference will be given to one author of each accepted paper from Central or Eastern Europe. Also, authors from Central and Eastern Europe are offered the possibility of pre-reviewing. They can submit their paper anytime after 1 October 2002 to the ECAI 2002 Central and Eastern Europe Chair at the address below.

It is also increasingly used in written or multi-modal human-computer interaction with the aim of providing the user with a more natural and more convivial means of interaction. The aim of this special issue is to bring together results bearing on the modeling and implementation of these linguistics aspects which are specific to human-computer dialogs. Dialog cannot be reduced to the simple juxtaposition of an analysis/recognition process with a generation/synthesis one. It raises a number of specific issues linked to the structure and usage of language in a dialogic context which must be taken into account to satisfy a minimal degree of acceptability such as for instance: - the modeling of utterances in a dialogic context which, to support a high flexibility and tolerance for the unexpected (repairs, heistations, self-repairs) requires a redefinition of the notion of syntactic well-formedness and completeness; - a model of context-based interpretation which can deal with the ellipses and anaphors typical of a dialog context and more generally with the complex interactions between language, context of use and domain of application that are characteristic of dialogs; - a formalisation of the reasoning and inference processes underlying dialog which is necessary to go beyond a simple question/answer system and usually goes hand-in-hand with a full-scale modeling of dialog systems. TOPICS (NOT LIMITATIVE) In this special issue, we wish to publish either innovative papers or synthesis and prospective articles bearing on the following topics: - Dialog and corpora: annotation schems for written and spoken dialog; techniques, tools and resources for the treatment of dialog corpora; Corpus analysis results. - Flexibility and tolerance for the unexpected: linguistic analysis, modeling and inplementation of repairs, hesitations and self-repairs; - Anaphors and ellipses in dialog : syntax, semantics and/or prosody; - Prosody in Dialog: role and modeling; - Modeling of the reference mechanisms used in dialog (to objects and/or to eventualities); - Dialog functions and dialog management; - Context-based interpretation and/or planning of responses -- in particular, how these contribute to a more natural interaction; - Representation of dialog specific structures; - Dialog models; - User intentions and conversational phenomena; - Speech acts, structure and planning of dialog; - Presuppositions in dialog; - Adaptation to the user; - Dialog acceptability and consequences on the architecture of Dialog systems; - Evaluation of dialog systems. FORMAT The articles (25 pages maximum) will be submitted either in Word or in Latex. The HERMES style files are available at LANGUAGE Articles can be written in French or in English. English written articles are only accepted from non-french speaking authors. DEADLINES The deadline for submission is 31 January 2002. A notification of intention to submit should be sent to Claire Gardent (Claire Gardent at loria.fr) or Jean-Marie Pierrel (Jean-Marie.Pierrel at inalf.fr) before 31 December 2001. The articles will be refereed by a member of the TAL editorial board and by two members of the editorial committee specifically created by the guest editors for this special issue. The decision of the editorial boards will be communicated to the authors on 31 March 2002. The final version of the accepted papers is due on 30 June for a publication scheduled for Autumn 2002.

CALENDRIER * 1er appel à communication : 20 novembre 2001. * Date limite de soumission : 31 mars 2002. * Notification des acceptations : 15 mai 2002. * Programme préliminaire : 15 juin 2002. * Colloque : (19)-20-21 septembre 2002. SITE WEB : www.gdr-morphologie.linguist.jussieu.fr THÉMATIQUE (texte complet sur la toile) Depuis que le morphème a été remis en cause comme unité unique de la morphologie, la question des unités qu'on doit postuler pour décrire les phénomènes morphologiques se pose de manière nouvelle. Nouvelle parce qu'il devient possible désormais de distinguer plusieurs types d'unité. Nouvelle aussi parce que les unités qu?on distingue sont corrélées à des hypothèses sur le fonctionnement des signes linguistiques. Plusieurs indices de ce changement de point de vue sont décelables dans la littérature : prise en compte des distinctions opérées par Matthews entre mot1 (mot-forme), mot2 (lexème) et mot3 (mot syntaxique) ; place reconnue à la notion de stem (thème morphologique) ; redéfinition des règles morphologiques en fonction leur unité d'input et d'output (règles stem > stem, mot2 > mot3, stem > mot2, mot3 > stem) ; rôle central du lexème dans les représentations hiérarchisées du lexique ; utilisation du type de l'unité pour bloquer / autoriser certaines dérivations, etc. La question des unités morphologiques se trouve aussi posée de l?extérieur de la morphologie, puisque la morphologie prosodique (notamment dans la version OT) postule l'existence d'unités morphologiques distinctes (affixe, racine, mot), dont elle ne dit rien, ce qui rend plus urgente encore l'inscription de cette question à l'agenda des morphologues. Bref, la situation actuelle paraît propice pour entamer une réflexion sur les unités morphologiques. Le colloque projeté voudrait à la fois être une étape dans ce processus de réflexion et une ouverture à de nouveaux questionnements. Parmi les thèmes de discussion envisageables figurent les suivants : I. CARACTÉRISATION DES UNITÉS MORPHOLOGIQUES Selon quels axes doit-on les définir ? Comment ces axes s?articulent-ils ? Quelles sont les unités indispensables et quelles sont celles dont on peut se passer ? Quels sont les types de variations tolérables que peuvent manifester les unités morphologiques (allomorphie, supplétion, autre) ? II. OPÉRATIONALITÉ DES UNITÉS Quels arguments peut-on avancer à l'appui de l'existence de telle ou telle unité ? De quel phénomène l'introduction de telle ou telle unité permet-elle de rendre compte dont on ne pourrait rendre compte sinon ? III. REPRÉSENTATION DES UNITÉS Comment représente-t-on ces différentes unités ? Comment représente-t-on le contenu qu'elles partagent ? IV. TYPOLOGIE Quelles variations interlinguistiques possibles le signe minimal (mot ou lexème) peut-il manifester ? Les marques qui terminent le mot3 appartiennent-elles à des types identifiables ? Pourquoi les phénomènes d'allomorphie ou de supplétion radicale sont-ils peu présents dans certaines langues (agglutinantes) et beaucoup dans d'autres (flexionnelles) ? V. PSYCHOLINGUISTIQUE Les locuteurs ont-ils une perception des unités morphologiques ? Desquelles ? Existe-t-il des écarts entre leur perception et les objets que postule le linguiste ? Ces écarts peuvent-ils être le moteur de changements ? Quel rôle l'écrit joue-t-il par rapport à la transmission, à la stabilité, à la perception des unités morphologiques ? VI. TRAITEMENT AUTOMATIQUE Qu'apporte le TAL à l'étude des unités morphologiques ? Permet-il de voir mieux des difficultés qui resteraient cachées sinon ? Permet-il d'atteindre des systématicités nouvelles ? Les études sur corpus permettent-elles de donner une autre visibilité à certains types d?unités ? VII. HISTOIRE La manière dont les notions de racine et de stems ont été utilisées dans la linguistique historique et comparative constitue-t-elle un obstacle ou éclaire-t-elle les concepts dont on a besoin aujourd'hui ? De quoi nous fait-elle hériter et comment intégrer cet héritage ?

CALENDAR * 1rst call for abstracts : November 20th 2001. * Submission deadline : March 31rst 2002. * Notification of acceptance : May 15th 2002. * Preliminary programme : June 15st, 2002 * Meeting : September (19)-20-21 2002. WEB SITE : www.gdr-morphologie.linguist.jussieu.fr THEMATIC (unabridged text on our web site) The question of the units we need to assume in order to account for morphological phenomena has to be considered in a new light since the morpheme has been given up as the single unit in morphology. First of all, it is now possible to distinguish various types of units and, second, those different units are correlated to hypotheses about the way linguistic signs work. These changes can be clearly seen in the recent literature. Consider, for instance: (i) the growing importance of the distinctions argued for by Matthews between word1 (word-form), word2 (lexeme) and word3 (syntactic word); (ii) the fact that the status of stems has become clearer; (iii) the classification of morphological rules according to the type of unit they take as their input or output (stem>stem, stem>word, word>word); (iv) the central position given to the lexeme within hierarchical representations of lexicon; (v) the way the typing of morphological units is used to block or licence morphological derivations; etc. The question of morphological units also arises within prosodic morphology (especially in its OT version), which assumes distinct units such as affix, root, word, etc. without saying anything about them except that they must exist; this makes it all the more urgent to clarify their exact status within morphological theory. In short, the moment seems favourable for undertaking a reflection on morphological units. This meeting will be both a step in this process of reflection and an opportunity to raise new questions on this topic. Among possible themes of discussion, we can list the following: I. CHARACTERISING MORPHOLOGICAL UNITS Along what dimensions must these units be defined? Are there principles limiting the proliferation of these dimensions? Which units are indispensable and which can be given up? Besides allomorphy or suppletion, what type of variation is allowed within morphological units? What can we infer from this on the nature of the linguistic sign? II. THE FUNCTION OF UNITS What types of phenomena does the introduction of such and such unit allow us to account for ? Do the distinctions between various types of units play a crucial role in certain derivations? III. REPRESENTING UNITS How should we represent the different types of units? What relationships must be assumed between them in a hierarchical representation of lexical knowledge? IV. TYPOLOGY What is the possible range of interlinguistic variation exhibited by the minimal sign (word or lexeme) across languages? Do the marks which end word3 units belong to identifiable types? To what extent is it sound to speak of stem languages or root languages? Why do phenomena such as allomorphy or suppletion appear so rarely in some languages and so widely in others? V. PSYCHOLINGUISTICS Do speakers perceive morphological units? And if so, which ones? Are there differences between the units perceived by speakers and those hypothesized by linguists? Can such differences give hints as to how a morphological system might change in the future? What role does writing play with respect to the transmission, the stability and the perception of morphological units? VI. NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING AND CORPUS STUDIES What do natural language processing and corpus-based studies bring to the study of morphological units? Do they shed light upon (ir)regularities which would have remained unnoticed otherwise? VII. HISTORY Does the way in which morphological units were used in historical and comparative linguistics shed light on the distinctions we need today?

ANNONCE DE COLLOQUE ET APPEL A COMMUNICATIONS Troisieme Forum de morphologie LES UNITES MORPHOLOGIQUES DATE : (19)-20-21 septembre 2002 LIEU : Universite de Lille 3, Villeneuve d'Ascq, France. CALENDRIER · 1er appel a communication : 20 novembre 2001. · Date limite de soumission : 31 mars 2002. · Notification des acceptations : 15 mai 2002. · Programme preliminaire : 15 juin 2002. · Colloque : (19)-20-21 septembre 2002. SITE WEB : http://gdr-morphologie.linguist.jussieu.fr THEMATIQUE (texte complet sur la toile) Depuis que le morpheme a ete remis en cause comme unite unique de la morphologie, la question des unite qu'on doit postuler pour decrire les phenomenes morphologiques se pose de maniere nouvelle. Nouvelle parce qu'il devient possible desormais de distinguer plusieurs types d'unite. Nouvelle aussi parce que les unites qu'on distingue sont correlees a des hypotheses sur le fonctionnement des signes linguistiques. Plusieurs indices de ce changement de point de vue sont decelables dans la litterature : prise en compte des distinctions operees par Matthews entre mot1 (mot-forme), mot2 (lexeme) et mot3 (mot syntaxique) ; place reconnue a la notion de stem (theme morphologique) ; redefinition des regles morphologiques en fonction leur unite d'input et d'output (regles stem > stem, mot2 > mot3, stem > mot2, mot3 > stem) ; role central du lexeme dans les representations hierarchisees du lexique ; utilisation du type de l'unite pour bloquer / autoriser certaines derivations, etc. La question des unites morphologiques se trouve aussi posee de l'exterieur de la morphologie, puisque la morphologie prosodique (notamment dans la version OT) postule l'existence d'unites morphologiques distinctes (affixe, racine, mot), dont elle ne dit rien, ce qui rend plus urgente encore l'inscription de cette question a l'agenda des morphologues. Bref, la situation actuelle paraît propice pour entamer une reflexion sur les unites morphologiques. Le colloque projete voudrait a la fois etre une etape dans ce processus de reflexion et une ouverture a de nouveaux questionnements. Parmi les themes de discussion envisageables figurent les suivants : I. CARACTERISATION DES UNITES MORPHOLOGIQUES Selon quels axes doit-on les definir ? Pour memoire, les axes suivants ont deja ete proposes : linearite et complexite segmentale (stem, racine, mot) ; abstraction grammaticale (le lexeme vu comme entite abstraite) ; abstraction semantique (la racine definie comme un concept instancie dans une famille de mots) ; la flexion (une forme flechie est un mot3, jamais une racine) ; dependance (une fome liee est une racine/stem, jamais un mot3). Comment ces axes s'articulent-ils ? Quelles sont les unites indispensables et quelles sont celles dont on peut se passer ? Quels sont les types de variations tolerables que peuvent manifester les unites morphologiques (allomorphie, suppletion, autre) ? II. OPERATIONALITE DES UNITES Quels arguments peut-on avancer a l'appui de l'existence de telle ou telle unite ? De quel phenomene l'introduction de telle ou telle unite permet-elle de rendre compte dont on ne pourrait rendre compte sinon ? III. REPRESENTATION DES UNITES Comment represente-t-on ces differentes unites ? Comment represente-t-on le contenu qu'elles partagent ? IV. TYPOLOGIE Quelles variations interlinguistiques possibles le signe minimal (mot ou lexeme) peut-il manifester ? Les marques qui terminent le mot3 appartiennent-elles a des types identifiables ? Pourquoi les phenomenes d'allomorphie ou de suppletion radicale sont-ils peu presents dans certaines langues (agglutinantes) et beaucoup dans d'autres (flexionnelles) ? V. PSYCHOLINGUISTIQUE Les locuteurs ont-ils une perception des unites morphologiques ? Desquelles ? Existe-t-il des ecarts entre leur perception et les objets que postule le linguiste ? Ces ecarts peuvent-ils etre le moteur de changements ? Quel role l'ecrit joue-t-il par rapport a la transmission, a la stabilite, a la perception des unites morphologiques ? VI. TRAITEMENT AUTOMATIQUE Qu'apporte le TAL a l'etude des unites morphologiques ? Permet-il de voir mieux des difficultes qui resteraient cachees sinon ? Permet-il d'atteindre des systematicites nouvelles ? Les etudes sur corpus permettent-elles de donner une autre visibilite a certains types d'unites ? VII. HISTOIRE La maniere dont les notions de racine et de stems ont ete utilisees dans la linguistique historique et comparative constitue-t-elle un obstacle ou eclaire-t-elle les concepts dont on a besoin aujourd'hui ? De quoi nous fait-elle heriter et comment integrer cet heritage ?

Date limite de soumission : 15 Mars 2002 http://www.atala.org/tal/appel-epistemologie.html ***************************************************************** Problèmes épistémologiques du TAL Numéro thématique de la revue TAL coordonné par Marcel Cori (CNRS UMR 7114, Modèles, dynamiques, corpus et U. Paris 10) Sophie David (CNRS UMR 7114, Modèles, dynamiques, corpus et U. Paris 10) Jacqueline Léon (CNRS UMR 7597, Histoire des Théories Linguistiques et U. Paris 7) ***************************************************************** THEMES Derrière l'étiquette de TAL, opèrent différentes lignes de tension, rendant compte du non-consensus sur ce qu'elle désigne, à la fois champ institutionnellement reconnu, discipline scientifique, domaine d'applications voire de productions industrielles, au carrefour de l'informatique et de la linguistique. Dans ce numéro spécial de la revue TAL, nous proposons d'explorer les différentes lignes de tension qui opèrent dans le domaine. Les thèmes pourront être les suivants : (1) Il semblerait que le terme français correspondant à ``computational linguistics'' soit TAL, mais les deux termes définissent-ils le même domaine, dans la mesure où, historiquement, ils ont des inscriptions institutionnelle, géographique et scientifique distinctes, et où en anglais existe le terme ``Natural Language Processing'' ? On sait que, dans la tradition française, différents termes ont jalonné l'histoire du domaine : linguistique algébrique, linguistique quantitative, linguistique informatique, linguistique computationnelle et, plus tard, industries de la langue et ingénierie linguistique. De quoi cette diversité de termes est-elle le signe ? Quelles sont les propositions fondatrices de chacun ? Quels sont les liens qui les unissent ? Quels sont leurs apports ? (2) Les objets traditionnellement considérés comme appartenant au TAL tels que les formalismes grammaticaux et les algorithmes d'analyse linguistique, en particulier syntaxique, sont-ils spécifiques du domaine ? Que dire de ces objets construits dans le cadre du TAL, tels les ATN, à la fois formalismes et dispositifs d'analyse ? Les formalismes comme LFG, TAG, HPSG, sont-ils rattachés ou rattachables au TAL ? (3) Les systèmes de TAL, fondés sur des méthodes probabilistes, grands corpus ou mémoires de traduction mettent-ils en ?uvre un modèle probabiliste du texte, du langage, des langues, ou bien ne sont-ils que des outils, mais alors quels outils et pour quelles tâches ? (4) L'évaluation des systèmes de TAL, nécessaire dès qu'on les considère comme des outils, ou qu'une production industrielle est le but à atteindre, est devenue un champ d'investigation en tant que tel. Les nombreux travaux qui s'y rattachent permettent de faire le point sur les différentes méthodes d'évaluation utilisées, leurs fondements, leurs options, leurs résultats. *** Ce sont ces questions d'ordre épistémologique que nous souhaiterions aborder dans ce numéro, à partir d'une réflexion sur des systèmes ou des pratiques du TAL, en cours à l'heure actuelle, ou bien développés lors de ces cinquante années d'histoire, histoire courte, certes, mais qui a l'avantage de permettre une certaine réflexivité. Nous souhaitons que les contributions émanent des acteurs du TAL réfléchissant sur leur pratique sans exclure pour autant les contributions d'historiens des sciences.

Paris 10) Sophie David (CNRS UMR 7114, Modèles, dynamiques, corpus et U. Paris 10) Jacqueline Léon (CNRS UMR 7597, Histoire des Théories Linguistiques et U. Paris 7) SCOPE and TOPICS Under the NLP label, several conceptions can be found, accounting for non-consensual approaches at work in the domain: at the same time an institutionally acknowledged trend, a scientific discipline, a field for applications, even for industrial ones, at the crossroads of computer science and linguistics. This special issue of TAL is devoted to epistemological problems of NLP where non-consensual conceptions are expected to be explored. The following topics and issues can be addressed: (1) It seems that the French word for ``computational linguistics'' is ``traitement automatique des langues'', but it is doubtful that both terms cover the same discipline as, historically, they have separate anchorages, either institutional, geographical or scientific. Besides, in English, a specific term exists: ``Natural Language Processing''. It is well known that, in French tradition, different names stood out as landmarks in the history of the area: ``linguistique algébrique'', ``linguistique quantitative'', ``linguistique informatique'', ``linguistique computationnelle'', and more recently ``industries de la langue'' and ``ingénierie linguistique''. What does this diversity mean? Which are the theoretic statements underlying them? What are the links between them? What are their respective contributions? (2) Are objects, traditionally considered as belonging to NLP such as grammar formalisms and linguistic analysis algorithms, namely parsing, really specific of the domain? What about projects as ATNs, which were built within NLP and are both formalisms and analysis device? Do formalisms such as LFG, TAG, HPSG, belong to NLP? Or can they belong to it? (3) Do NLP systems, such as large corpora or translation memories, which are founded on statistical methods, actually implement probabilistic models of texts, or are they mere tools? In this case, which tools are appropriate for which tasks? (4) NLP evaluation, which is necessary when systems are used as tools or when industrial production is at stake, is now considered as an investigation field of its own. The numerous works connected to this area allow taking stock of the available evaluation methods, their theoretical grounds, their options and their results. *** These are the epistemological questions which we wish to be addressed in the special issue, based on a reflexion either on current NLP systems and practices, or on systems that were developed during the fifty years of NLP history. Fifty years are rather short for history, but they allow reflexivity, a requirement when historical studies are at stake. Contributions are expected from NLP agents reflecting on their practice. Contributions from science historians are also welcome. READING COMMITTEE - Sylvain Auroux, ENS Lettres et Sciences Humaines, Laboratoire d'Histoire des Théories Linguistiques, U.

Apologies for multiple posts. ================================================================ COLING-2002: Call for Papers [2001/11/14] ================================================================ 19th International Conference on Computational Linguistics August, 24 - September, 1, 2002 Howard International House, Taipei, Taiwan ================================================================ Organized by: Academia Sinica, ACLCLP and Tsing Hua University Under the Auspices of: The International Committee on Computational Linguistics URL: http://www.coling2002.sinica.edu.tw/ ================================================================ COLING is the most prominent conference in the field of Computational Linguistics. In its 40 plus years of existence, the biennial COLING has been a productive forum for scholars all over the world to exchange original research papers on a broad range of topics in computational linguistics. COLING is an international forum for discussion and presentation representing the current state of the art and determining standards of computational linguistics research. In 2002, Taiwan will host the 19th COLING conference. This will be the first time that COLING is held outside Europe, North America, or Japan. It will be a chance for participants to experience the energy behind Taiwan's vibrant growth in knowledge technology, as well as the natural beauty of Formosa and its rich cultural heritage. Submitted papers should describe original work, completed or in progress, rather than merely planned, and clearly indicate the current state of advancement of the work. No previously published papers should be submitted. Simultaneous submission to other conferences is allowed provided it is explicitly indicated on the identification page. In line with the practice established in previous COLING conferences, authors will be asked to place their submission in one of two categories: 1. Regular papers, of not more than seven pages, presenting results of original complete research, and 2. Project notes, of five pages or less, describing ongoing research or demonstrating a system. Method of Submission: o Complete a Paper Submission Form (http://www.ikp.uni-bonn.de/coling2002/psf.html). This form may be updated up to the deadline for paper submissions (15 February 2002). o For your paper use the layout and format of papers described in the LATEX or Microsoft Word Style sheets (For more details on paper submission see http://www.ikp.uni-bonn.de/coling2002/psg.html). o Electronic submissions of papers are strongly preferred. Papers should be sent to coling2002 at ikp.uni-bonn.de. o Hard copy papers are also accepted. Further details will be available later.

Submissions must not exceed five pages in camera-ready format. Submissions of unformatted papers are limited to 6000 words including footnotes, figure captions, tables, appendices, and bibliography. Each half-page of figures will be counted as 600 words. (Please note that for some papers five camera-ready pages may be considerably less than 6000 words in practice.) Overlengthy submissions will be rejected without review. Authors submitting unformatted papers must include a word count on their paper. Guidelines on the format of submissions are available on the ECAI 2002 Style Guide page (http://ecai2002.univ-lyon1.fr/cfp/style.html). Latex style files to support formatting of submissions are also available (http://ecai2002.univ-lyon1.fr/cfp/latex). Final versions of accepted papers will be required to conform strictly to the formatting requirements specified in the ECAI 2002 Style Guide. Each accepted paper will be allocated five pages in the proceedings. Submission procedure Submission is a two-stage process. Authors are asked to submit a brief summary of their paper by 18 January 2002, followed by their full paper before 22 January 2002 (23:59 CET). The strongly preferred submission method for summaries is to use the web-based summary submission form (http://ecai2002.univ-lyon1.fr/ecai/summary_submission.html). Submitted summaries will be assigned a unique tracking number that should be marked on the full paper submission. Authors without access to the web should send a summary including the title, authors, contact address and abstract of the paper (maximum 200 words), plus keywords drawn from this list (plus other key-words if appropriate) to the ECAI 2002 Programme Chair (by email or postal mail). The summary information and the tracking number should also be included with the paper itself, on a separate sheet of paper. Authors not able to use the web-based submission form may omit the tracking number. The strongly preferred submission method for full papers is electronically, by email to: ecai2002-submission at cs.vu.nl Only PDF files will be accepted. A free service to convert a number of widely used file formats to PDF is available at http://createpdf.adobe.com/ (the first three uses of this service are for free). Submissions in hardcopy may also be made if electronic submission is prob-lematic for the authors. In that case, six copies of the paper (each including the summary sheet) should be sent by postal mail or courier service to the ECAI 2002 Programme Chair, Frank van Harmelen, at the address below. The deadline for receipt of papers is 22 January 2002 (23:59 CET) for both electronic and hardcopy submissions. Papers received after this date will not be reviewed. Notification of receipt of full papers will be mailed to the corresponding author soon after receipt. ------------------------------------------------------------ ADDRESS FOR SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------------------------ Frank van Harmelen, ECAI 2002 Programme Chair Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Vrije Universiteit De Boelelaan 1081a, 1081HV Amsterdam The Netherlands Summary form: http://ecai2002.univ-lyon1.fr/ecai/summary_submission.html Email submission: ecai2002-submission at cs.vu.nl Email correspondence: ecai2002 at cs.vu.nl Tel: +31-20-444 7700 Fax: +31-84-872 2806 ------------------------------------------------------------ Anonymous reviewing process ECAI 2002 will operate an anonymous reviewing process. Reviewing for ECAI 2002 will be blind to the identities of the authors and their institutions. To allow for blind reviewing replace the authors line in your submission by the unique tracking number assigned by the submission of the summary form (or leave it empty in case you are not able to use the web-based summary submission form). Please avoid identifying self-references. Replace phrases like "We have shown in [n]" by "In [n] it has been shown ...". Multiple submissions policy ECAI 2002 will not accept any paper which at the time of submission is under review for, or has already been published or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference. Authors are also expected not to submit their papers elsewhere during the review period. These restrictions only apply to journals and conferences and not to workshops or similar specialised meetings with limited audiences. The title page should include a statement that "this paper is not under review or accepted for publication in another conference or journal". The review process All submissions will be subject to academic peer review by the ECAI 2002 Programme Committee under the chairmanship of the ECAI 2002 Programme Committee Chair. The ECAI 2002 Programme Committee Chair has final authority over the review process and all decisions relating to acceptance of papers. Review criteria include originality of ideas, technical soundness, significance of results, and quality of presentation. Notification of acceptance or rejection of submitted papers will be mailed to the corresponding author by 22 April 2002. Awards The best paper of the conference, as selected by the ECAI 2002 Programme Committee, will receive a prize sponsored by Elsevier Science. The authors will also be invited to publish a longer version of the paper in the Artificial Intelligence journal. The authors of the 10 next best papers will all be invited to submit a long version of their paper to a special fast-review track of the Artificial Intelligence journal. Conference proceedings The conference proceedings will be published and distributed by IOS Press on paper and as a CD-ROM. The authors will be responsible for producing camera-ready copies of papers, conforming to the ECAI 2002 formatting guidelines, for inclusion in the proceedings. The deadline for receipt of the camera-ready copy is 10 May 2002. Note that at least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the conference to present the paper. Support for Central and Eastern Europe ECAI 2002 is dedicated to supporting AI research in Central and Eastern Europe. A travel grant to attend the conference will be given to one author of each accepted paper from Central or Eastern Europe. Also, authors from Central and Eastern Europe are offered the possibility of pre-reviewing. They can submit their paper anytime after 1 October 2002 to the ECAI 2002 Central and Eastern Europe Chair at the address below. The paper will then be assigned to a pre-reviewer, who may yield useful suggestions for the authors. The pre-reviewing is aimed at supporting authors from Central and Eastern Europe, and is no guarantee of acceptance of the final paper. ------------------------------------------------------------ ADDRESS FOR PRE-REVIEWING ------------------------------------------------------------ Michael Beetz Department of Computer Science IX Technical University Munich Orleansstr. 34 81667 Munich Germany Tel: +49 (89) 48095-129 Fax: +49 (89) 48095-120 (-203) Email: beetzm at in.tum.de ---- *********************************************************************** ** PRESTIGIOUS APPLICATIONS OF INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS (PAIS-2002) ** *********************************************************************** ECAI 2002 is pleased to announce its "Prestigious Applications of Intelligent Systems" (PAIS-2002) sub-conference.

It is also increasingly used in written or multi-modal human-computer interaction with the aim of providing the user with a more natural and more convivial means of interaction. The aim of this special issue is to bring together results bearing on the modeling and implementation of these linguistics aspects which are specific to human-computer dialogs. Dialog cannot be reduced to the simple juxtaposition of an analysis/recognition process with a generation/synthesis one. It raises a number of specific issues linked to the structure and usage of language in a dialogic context which must be taken into account to satisfy a minimal degree of acceptability such as for instance: - the modeling of utterances in a dialogic context which, to support a high flexibility and tolerance for the unexpected (repairs, heistations, self-repairs) requires a redefinition of the notion of syntactic well-formedness and completeness; - a model of context-based interpretation which can deal with the ellipses and anaphors typical of a dialog context and more generally with the complex interactions between language, context of use and domain of application that are characteristic of dialogs; - a formalisation of the reasoning and inference processes underlying dialog which is necessary to go beyond a simple question/answer system and usually goes hand-in-hand with a full-scale modeling of dialog systems. TOPICS (NOT LIMITATIVE) In this special issue, we wish to publish either innovative papers or synthesis and prospective articles bearing on the following topics: - Dialog and corpora: annotation schems for written and spoken dialog; techniques, tools and resources for the treatment of dialog corpora; Corpus analysis results. - Flexibility and tolerance for the unexpected: linguistic analysis, modeling and inplementation of repairs, hesitations and self-repairs; - Anaphors and ellipses in dialog : syntax, semantics and/or prosody; - Prosody in Dialog: role and modeling; - Modeling of the reference mechanisms used in dialog (to objects and/or to eventualities); - Dialog functions and dialog management; - Context-based interpretation and/or planning of responses -- in particular, how these contribute to a more natural interaction; - Representation of dialog specific structures; - Dialog models; - User intentions and conversational phenomena; - Speech acts, structure and planning of dialog; - Presuppositions in dialog; - Adaptation to the user; - Dialog acceptability and consequences on the architecture of Dialog systems; - Evaluation of dialog systems. FORMAT The articles (25 pages maximum) will be submitted either in Word or in Latex. The HERMES style files are available at LANGUAGE Articles can be written in French or in English. English written articles are only accepted from non-french speaking authors. DEADLINES The deadline for submission is 31 January 2002. A notification of intention to submit should be sent to Claire Gardent (Claire Gardent at loria.fr) or Jean-Marie Pierrel (Jean-Marie.Pierrel at inalf.fr) before 31 December 2001. The articles will be refereed by a member of the TAL editorial board and by two members of the editorial committee specifically created by the guest editors for this special issue. The decision of the editorial boards will be communicated to the authors on 31 March 2002. The final version of the accepted papers is due on 30 June for a publication scheduled for Autumn 2002.

COMMUNICATIONS Troisi?me Forum de morphologie LES UNIT?S MORPHOLOGIQUES DATE : (19)-20-21 septembre 2002 LIEU : Universit? de Lille 3, Villeneuve d?Ascq, France. CALENDRIER * 1er appel ? communication : 20 novembre 2001. * Date limite de soumission : 31 mars 2002. * Notification des acceptations : 15 mai 2002. * Programme pr?liminaire : 15 juin 2002. * Colloque : (19)-20-21 septembre 2002. SITE WEB : www.gdr-morphologie.linguist.jussieu.fr TH?MATIQUE (texte complet sur la toile) Depuis que le morph?me a ?t? remis en cause comme unit? unique de la morphologie, la question des unit?s qu'on doit postuler pour d?crire les ph?nom?nes morphologiques se pose de mani?re nouvelle. Nouvelle parce qu'il devient possible d?sormais de distinguer plusieurs types d'unit?. Nouvelle aussi parce que les unit?s qu?on distingue sont corr?l?es ? des hypoth?ses sur le fonctionnement des signes linguistiques. Plusieurs indices de ce changement de point de vue sont d?celables dans la litt?rature : prise en compte des distinctions op?r?es par Matthews entre mot1 (mot-forme), mot2 (lex?me) et mot3 (mot syntaxique) ; place reconnue ? la notion de stem (th?me morphologique) ; red?finition des r?gles morphologiques en fonction leur unit? d'input et d'output (r?gles stem > stem, mot2 > mot3, stem > mot2, mot3 > stem) ; r?le central du lex?me dans les repr?sentations hi?rarchis?es du lexique ; utilisation du type de l'unit? pour bloquer / autoriser certaines d?rivations, etc. La question des unit?s morphologiques se trouve aussi pos?e de l?ext?rieur de la morphologie, puisque la morphologie prosodique (notamment dans la version OT) postule l'existence d'unit?s morphologiques distinctes (affixe, racine, mot), dont elle ne dit rien, ce qui rend plus urgente encore l'inscription de cette question ? l'agenda des morphologues. Bref, la situation actuelle para?t propice pour entamer une r?flexion sur les unit?s morphologiques. Le colloque projet? voudrait ? la fois ?tre une ?tape dans ce processus de r?flexion et une ouverture ? de nouveaux questionnements. Parmi les th?mes de discussion envisageables figurent les suivants : I. CARACT?RISATION DES UNIT?S MORPHOLOGIQUES Selon quels axes doit-on les d?finir ? Comment ces axes s?articulent-ils ? Quelles sont les unit?s indispensables et quelles sont celles dont on peut se passer ? Quels sont les types de variations tol?rables que peuvent manifester les unit?s morphologiques (allomorphie, suppl?tion, autre) ? II. OP?RATIONALIT? DES UNIT?S Quels arguments peut-on avancer ? l'appui de l'existence de telle ou telle unit? ? De quel ph?nom?ne l'introduction de telle ou telle unit? permet-elle de rendre compte dont on ne pourrait rendre compte sinon ? III. REPR?SENTATION DES UNIT?S Comment repr?sente-t-on ces diff?rentes unit?s ? Comment repr?sente-t-on le contenu qu'elles partagent ? IV. TYPOLOGIE Quelles variations interlinguistiques possibles le signe minimal (mot ou lex?me) peut-il manifester ? Les marques qui terminent le mot3 appartiennent-elles ? des types identifiables ? Pourquoi les ph?nom?nes d'allomorphie ou de suppl?tion radicale sont-ils peu pr?sents dans certaines langues (agglutinantes) et beaucoup dans d'autres (flexionnelles) ? V. PSYCHOLINGUISTIQUE Les locuteurs ont-ils une perception des unit?s morphologiques ? Desquelles ? Existe-t-il des ?carts entre leur perception et les objets que postule le linguiste ? Ces ?carts peuvent-ils ?tre le moteur de changements ? Quel r?le l'?crit joue-t-il par rapport ? la transmission, ? la stabilit?, ? la perception des unit?s morphologiques ? VI. TRAITEMENT AUTOMATIQUE Qu'apporte le TAL ? l'?tude des unit?s morphologiques ? Permet-il de voir mieux des difficult?s qui resteraient cach?es sinon ? Permet-il d'atteindre des syst?maticit?s nouvelles ? Les ?tudes sur corpus permettent-elles de donner une autre visibilit? ? certains types d?unit?s ? VII. HISTOIRE La mani?re dont les notions de racine et de stems ont ?t? utilis?es dans la linguistique historique et comparative constitue-t-elle un obstacle ou ?claire-t-elle les concepts dont on a besoin aujourd'hui ? De quoi nous fait-elle h?riter et comment int?grer cet h?ritage ? COMIT? SCIENTIFIQUE Georgette Dal (Universit? Lille 3), Bernard Fradin (LLF, CNRS), Fran?oise Kerleroux (Universit?

CALENDAR * 1rst call for abstracts : November 20th 2001. * Submission deadline : March 31rst 2002. * Notification of acceptance : May 15th 2002. * Preliminary programme : June 15st, 2002 * Meeting : September (19)-20-21 2002. WEB SITE : www.gdr-morphologie.linguist.jussieu.fr THEMATIC (unabridged text on our web site) The question of the units we need to assume in order to account for morphological phenomena has to be considered in a new light since the morpheme has been given up as the single unit in morphology. First of all, it is now possible to distinguish various types of units and, second, those different units are correlated to hypotheses about the way linguistic signs work. These changes can be clearly seen in the recent literature. Consider, for instance: (i) the growing importance of the distinctions argued for by Matthews between word1 (word-form), word2 (lexeme) and word3 (syntactic word); (ii) the fact that the status of stems has become clearer; (iii) the classification of morphological rules according to the type of unit they take as their input or output (stem>stem, stem>word, word>word); (iv) the central position given to the lexeme within hierarchical representations of lexicon; (v) the way the typing of morphological units is used to block or licence morphological derivations; etc. The question of morphological units also arises within prosodic morphology (especially in its OT version), which assumes distinct units such as affix, root, word, etc. without saying anything about them except that they must exist; this makes it all the more urgent to clarify their exact status within morphological theory. In short, the moment seems favourable for undertaking a reflection on morphological units. This meeting will be both a step in this process of reflection and an opportunity to raise new questions on this topic. Among possible themes of discussion, we can list the following: I. CHARACTERISING MORPHOLOGICAL UNITS Along what dimensions must these units be defined? Are there principles limiting the proliferation of these dimensions? Which units are indispensable and which can be given up? Besides allomorphy or suppletion, what type of variation is allowed within morphological units? What can we infer from this on the nature of the linguistic sign? II. THE FUNCTION OF UNITS What types of phenomena does the introduction of such and such unit allow us to account for ? Do the distinctions between various types of units play a crucial role in certain derivations? III. REPRESENTING UNITS How should we represent the different types of units? What relationships must be assumed between them in a hierarchical representation of lexical knowledge? IV. TYPOLOGY What is the possible range of interlinguistic variation exhibited by the minimal sign (word or lexeme) across languages? Do the marks which end word3 units belong to identifiable types? To what extent is it sound to speak of stem languages or root languages? Why do phenomena such as allomorphy or suppletion appear so rarely in some languages and so widely in others? V. PSYCHOLINGUISTICS Do speakers perceive morphological units? And if so, which ones? Are there differences between the units perceived by speakers and those hypothesized by linguists? Can such differences give hints as to how a morphological system might change in the future? What role does writing play with respect to the transmission, the stability and the perception of morphological units? VI. NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING AND CORPUS STUDIES What do natural language processing and corpus-based studies bring to the study of morphological units? Do they shed light upon (ir)regularities which would have remained unnoticed otherwise? VII. HISTORY Does the way in which morphological units were used in historical and comparative linguistics shed light on the distinctions we need today? PROGRAMME COMMITEE Georgette Dal (University of Lille 3), Bernard Fradin (LLF, CNRS), Fran?oise Kerleroux (University Paris 10 Nanterre), Nabil Hathout (ERSS, CNRS), Marc Pl?nat (ERSS, CNRS), Michel Roch?

ANNONCE DE COLLOQUE ET APPEL A COMMUNICATIONS Troisieme Forum de morphologie LES UNITES MORPHOLOGIQUES DATE : (19)-20-21 septembre 2002 LIEU : Universite de Lille 3, Villeneuve d'Ascq, France. CALENDRIER ? 1er appel a communication : 20 novembre 2001. ? Date limite de soumission : 31 mars 2002. ? Notification des acceptations : 15 mai 2002. ? Programme preliminaire : 15 juin 2002. ? Colloque : (19)-20-21 septembre 2002. SITE WEB : http://gdr-morphologie.linguist.jussieu.fr THEMATIQUE (texte complet sur la toile) Depuis que le morpheme a ete remis en cause comme unite unique de la morphologie, la question des unite qu'on doit postuler pour decrire les phenomenes morphologiques se pose de maniere nouvelle. Nouvelle parce qu'il devient possible desormais de distinguer plusieurs types d'unite. Nouvelle aussi parce que les unites qu'on distingue sont correlees a des hypotheses sur le fonctionnement des signes linguistiques. Plusieurs indices de ce changement de point de vue sont decelables dans la litterature : prise en compte des distinctions operees par Matthews entre mot1 (mot-forme), mot2 (lexeme) et mot3 (mot syntaxique) ; place reconnue a la notion de stem (theme morphologique) ; redefinition des regles morphologiques en fonction leur unite d'input et d'output (regles stem > stem, mot2 > mot3, stem > mot2, mot3 > stem) ; role central du lexeme dans les representations hierarchisees du lexique ; utilisation du type de l'unite pour bloquer / autoriser certaines derivations, etc. La question des unites morphologiques se trouve aussi posee de l'exterieur de la morphologie, puisque la morphologie prosodique (notamment dans la version OT) postule l'existence d'unites morphologiques distinctes (affixe, racine, mot), dont elle ne dit rien, ce qui rend plus urgente encore l'inscription de cette question a l'agenda des morphologues. Bref, la situation actuelle para?t propice pour entamer une reflexion sur les unites morphologiques. Le colloque projete voudrait a la fois etre une etape dans ce processus de reflexion et une ouverture a de nouveaux questionnements. Parmi les themes de discussion envisageables figurent les suivants : I. CARACTERISATION DES UNITES MORPHOLOGIQUES Selon quels axes doit-on les definir ? Pour memoire, les axes suivants ont deja ete proposes : linearite et complexite segmentale (stem, racine, mot) ; abstraction grammaticale (le lexeme vu comme entite abstraite) ; abstraction semantique (la racine definie comme un concept instancie dans une famille de mots) ; la flexion (une forme flechie est un mot3, jamais une racine) ; dependance (une fome liee est une racine/stem, jamais un mot3). Comment ces axes s'articulent-ils ? Quelles sont les unites indispensables et quelles sont celles dont on peut se passer ? Quels sont les types de variations tolerables que peuvent manifester les unites morphologiques (allomorphie, suppletion, autre) ? II. OPERATIONALITE DES UNITES Quels arguments peut-on avancer a l'appui de l'existence de telle ou telle unite ? De quel phenomene l'introduction de telle ou telle unite permet-elle de rendre compte dont on ne pourrait rendre compte sinon ? III. REPRESENTATION DES UNITES Comment represente-t-on ces differentes unites ? Comment represente-t-on le contenu qu'elles partagent ? IV. TYPOLOGIE Quelles variations interlinguistiques possibles le signe minimal (mot ou lexeme) peut-il manifester ? Les marques qui terminent le mot3 appartiennent-elles a des types identifiables ? Pourquoi les phenomenes d'allomorphie ou de suppletion radicale sont-ils peu presents dans certaines langues (agglutinantes) et beaucoup dans d'autres (flexionnelles) ? V. PSYCHOLINGUISTIQUE Les locuteurs ont-ils une perception des unites morphologiques ? Desquelles ? Existe-t-il des ecarts entre leur perception et les objets que postule le linguiste ? Ces ecarts peuvent-ils etre le moteur de changements ? Quel role l'ecrit joue-t-il par rapport a la transmission, a la stabilite, a la perception des unites morphologiques ? VI. TRAITEMENT AUTOMATIQUE Qu'apporte le TAL a l'etude des unites morphologiques ? Permet-il de voir mieux des difficultes qui resteraient cachees sinon ? Permet-il d'atteindre des systematicites nouvelles ? Les etudes sur corpus permettent-elles de donner une autre visibilite a certains types d'unites ? VII. HISTOIRE La maniere dont les notions de racine et de stems ont ete utilisees dans la linguistique historique et comparative constitue-t-elle un obstacle ou eclaire-t-elle les concepts dont on a besoin aujourd'hui ? De quoi nous fait-elle heriter et comment integrer cet heritage ?

Date limite de soumission : 15 Mars 2002 http://www.atala.org/tal/appel-epistemologie.html ***************************************************************** Probl?mes ?pist?mologiques du TAL Num?ro th?matique de la revue TAL coordonn? par Marcel Cori (CNRS UMR 7114, Mod?les, dynamiques, corpus et U. Paris 10) Sophie David (CNRS UMR 7114, Mod?les, dynamiques, corpus et U. Paris 10) Jacqueline L?on (CNRS UMR 7597, Histoire des Th?ories Linguistiques et U. Paris 7) ***************************************************************** THEMES Derri?re l'?tiquette de TAL, op?rent diff?rentes lignes de tension, rendant compte du non-consensus sur ce qu'elle d?signe, ? la fois champ institutionnellement reconnu, discipline scientifique, domaine d'applications voire de productions industrielles, au carrefour de l'informatique et de la linguistique. Dans ce num?ro sp?cial de la revue TAL, nous proposons d'explorer les diff?rentes lignes de tension qui op?rent dans le domaine. Les th?mes pourront ?tre les suivants : (1) Il semblerait que le terme fran?ais correspondant ? ``computational linguistics'' soit TAL, mais les deux termes d?finissent-ils le m?me domaine, dans la mesure o?, historiquement, ils ont des inscriptions institutionnelle, g?ographique et scientifique distinctes, et o? en anglais existe le terme ``Natural Language Processing'' ? On sait que, dans la tradition fran?aise, diff?rents termes ont jalonn? l'histoire du domaine : linguistique alg?brique, linguistique quantitative, linguistique informatique, linguistique computationnelle et, plus tard, industries de la langue et ing?nierie linguistique. De quoi cette diversit? de termes est-elle le signe ? Quelles sont les propositions fondatrices de chacun ? Quels sont les liens qui les unissent ? Quels sont leurs apports ? (2) Les objets traditionnellement consid?r?s comme appartenant au TAL tels que les formalismes grammaticaux et les algorithmes d'analyse linguistique, en particulier syntaxique, sont-ils sp?cifiques du domaine ? Que dire de ces objets construits dans le cadre du TAL, tels les ATN, ? la fois formalismes et dispositifs d'analyse ? Les formalismes comme LFG, TAG, HPSG, sont-ils rattach?s ou rattachables au TAL ? (3) Les syst?mes de TAL, fond?s sur des m?thodes probabilistes, grands corpus ou m?moires de traduction mettent-ils en ?uvre un mod?le probabiliste du texte, du langage, des langues, ou bien ne sont-ils que des outils, mais alors quels outils et pour quelles t?ches ? (4) L'?valuation des syst?mes de TAL, n?cessaire d?s qu'on les consid?re comme des outils, ou qu'une production industrielle est le but ? atteindre, est devenue un champ d'investigation en tant que tel. Les nombreux travaux qui s'y rattachent permettent de faire le point sur les diff?rentes m?thodes d'?valuation utilis?es, leurs fondements, leurs options, leurs r?sultats. *** Ce sont ces questions d'ordre ?pist?mologique que nous souhaiterions aborder dans ce num?ro, ? partir d'une r?flexion sur des syst?mes ou des pratiques du TAL, en cours ? l'heure actuelle, ou bien d?velopp?s lors de ces cinquante ann?es d'histoire, histoire courte, certes, mais qui a l'avantage de permettre une certaine r?flexivit?. Nous souhaitons que les contributions ?manent des acteurs du TAL r?fl?chissant sur leur pratique sans exclure pour autant les contributions d'historiens des sciences.

Paris 10) Sophie David (CNRS UMR 7114, Mod?les, dynamiques, corpus et U. Paris 10) Jacqueline L?on (CNRS UMR 7597, Histoire des Th?ories Linguistiques et U. Paris 7) SCOPE and TOPICS Under the NLP label, several conceptions can be found, accounting for non-consensual approaches at work in the domain: at the same time an institutionally acknowledged trend, a scientific discipline, a field for applications, even for industrial ones, at the crossroads of computer science and linguistics. This special issue of TAL is devoted to epistemological problems of NLP where non-consensual conceptions are expected to be explored. The following topics and issues can be addressed: (1) It seems that the French word for ``computational linguistics'' is ``traitement automatique des langues'', but it is doubtful that both terms cover the same discipline as, historically, they have separate anchorages, either institutional, geographical or scientific. Besides, in English, a specific term exists: ``Natural Language Processing''. It is well known that, in French tradition, different names stood out as landmarks in the history of the area: ``linguistique alg?brique'', ``linguistique quantitative'', ``linguistique informatique'', ``linguistique computationnelle'', and more recently ``industries de la langue'' and ``ing?nierie linguistique''. What does this diversity mean? Which are the theoretic statements underlying them? What are the links between them? What are their respective contributions? (2) Are objects, traditionally considered as belonging to NLP such as grammar formalisms and linguistic analysis algorithms, namely parsing, really specific of the domain? What about projects as ATNs, which were built within NLP and are both formalisms and analysis device? Do formalisms such as LFG, TAG, HPSG, belong to NLP? Or can they belong to it? (3) Do NLP systems, such as large corpora or translation memories, which are founded on statistical methods, actually implement probabilistic models of texts, or are they mere tools? In this case, which tools are appropriate for which tasks? (4) NLP evaluation, which is necessary when systems are used as tools or when industrial production is at stake, is now considered as an investigation field of its own. The numerous works connected to this area allow taking stock of the available evaluation methods, their theoretical grounds, their options and their results. *** These are the epistemological questions which we wish to be addressed in the special issue, based on a reflexion either on current NLP systems and practices, or on systems that were developed during the fifty years of NLP history. Fifty years are rather short for history, but they allow reflexivity, a requirement when historical studies are at stake. Contributions are expected from NLP agents reflecting on their practice. Contributions from science historians are also welcome. READING COMMITTEE - Sylvain Auroux, ENS Lettres et Sciences Humaines, Laboratoire d'Histoire des Th?ories Linguistiques, U.
