In addition, there has been an increased level of interest in controlled languages, culminating in the series of Workshops on controlled language applications. These have given impetus to both monolingual and multilingual guidelines and applications using controlled language, for many different languages. Controlled languages are subsets of natural languages whose grammars and dictionaries have been restricted in order to reduce or eliminate both ambiguity and complexity. Traditionally, controlled languages fall into two major categories: those that improve readability for human readers, particularly non-native speakers, and those that improve computational processing of the text. It is often claimed that machine-oriented controlled language should be of particular benefit when it comes to the use of translation tools (including machine translation, translation memory, multilingual terminology tools etc.). Experience has shown that high quality MT systems can be designed for specialized domains (e.g. METEO). However, the area of controlled translation has remained relatively unaddressed. This is rather strange given its undoubted importance. Such examples that exist use rule-based MT (RBMT) systems to translate controlled language documentation, e.g. Caterpillar's CTE and CMU's KANT system, and General Motors CASL and LantMark, etc. However, fine-tuning general systems designed for use with unrestricted texts to derive specific, restricted applications is complex and expensive. The primary aim of this unique conference, therefore, is to elicit papers on controlled translation, and provide a forum in which the problems may be outlined, possible solutions proposed, and in general to bring together developers, implementors, researchers and end-users from the publications, authoring, translation and localization fields to discuss how ideas from both the authoring and translation camps might be integrated in this common area. Some specific topics which might be addressed include: * What is controlled translation? * RBMT and controlled translation. * TM/EBMT and controlled translation. * Influence and interplay of controlled language upon both source-language parsing and target-language generation in an MT system. * Role of the lexicon in controlled translation. * Can we expect better controlled translations from a hybrid approach? Or from a multi-engine approach? * Towards a Roadmap for controlled translation - the way ahead? In addition, we welcome contributions on MT as well as on controlled language which do not address the main theme per se. Please consult the conference URL (http://www.eamt.org/eamt-claw03/) for some suggestions. Important Dates/Prizes for 'Best Papers' Owing to a large number of requests for an extension to the original deadline of Nov 29th (and with apologies, and thanks, to those who have submitted so far), we have come up with the following, new schedule: Paper Submissions: Jan 10, 2003 (extended) Reviews due: Feb 14, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: Feb 28, 2003 Camera Ready Copy: Mar 31, 2003 Note that the programme committee will select a set of up to 4 `best papers' (best MT, best Controlled Language, best Controlled Translation, Best Student Submission) for whom registration fees will be waived. Submission Details Papers accepted for the conference will be published in a proceedings volume available to all attendees. Papers should describe unique work not published before.

It examines the hypothesis that the behavior of lexical items may be explained in terms of a very small number of very simple principles. In particular, a lexical item is assumed to project a syntactic configuration defined over just two relations, complement and specifier, where these configurations are constrained to preclude iteration and to permit only binary branching. The work examines this hypothesis by methodically looking at a variety of constructions in English and other languages. At the time of his death, Ken Hale was the Ferrari P. Ward Professor Emeritus in Linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Samuel Jay Keyser is the Peter de Florez Professor Emeritus in Linguistics and Special Assistant to the Chancellor at MIT. He is editor of the journal Linguistic Inquiry, the Linguistic Inquiry Monograph Series, and the book series Current Studies in Linguistics (all MIT Press). "It is difficult to exaggerate the significance of this profound and far-reaching inquiry into lexical semantics and its consequences for the structure of expressions, drawing on a remarkable range of empirical materials that are explored in depth with penetrating insight. Ambitious, controversial, highly original, and provocative, it is sure to be a landmark in the study of language." --Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology "This book is an extraordinarily lucid presentation of Hale and Keyser's insightful, and deservedly influential, approach to argument structure. It is one more reminder of how much we will miss Ken Hale, but how blessed we were to have him as long as we did." --Howard Lasnik, Department of Linguistics, University of Maryland 6 x 9, 296 pp., paper ISBN 0-262-58214-7, cloth ISBN 0-262-08308-6 Linguistic Inquiry Monograph series ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffus� 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 parrain�e par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adh�sion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From alexis.nasr at LINGUIST.JUSSIEU.FR Thu Jan 2 11:44:01 2003 From: alexis.nasr at LINGUIST.JUSSIEU.FR (Alexis Nasr) Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2003 12:44:01 +0100 Subject: Appel: TALN2003 : appel a tutoriels Message-ID: [english version below] **************************************************************** TALN 2003 - APPEL A TUTORIELS **************************************************************** TALN 2003 aura lieu a Batz-sur-Mer (44) du mercredi 11 juin au samedi 14 juin 2003, organisee par l'IRIN (Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Nantes, UPRES-EA 2157, Universite de Nantes) en collaboration avec les laboratoires ACIDORE et VALORIA (EA 2793) de l'Universite de Bretagne-Sud et de l'IRISA, INRIA, Rennes.

France Télécom R&D dispose d'une technologie de dialogue coopératif intelligent. Cette technologie est fondée sur une modélisation des principes primitifs qui régissent le comportement rationnel et traite ainsi le fait de communiquer comme une action à part entière, que l'on appelle acte de dialogue. Le noyau d'un système de dialogue fondé sur cette approche opère sur une représentation logique des connaissances. Son exploitation réelle requiert l'existence d'un interpréteur et d'un générateur qui permettent, respectivement, de construire à partir d'un message de l'utilisateur une forme logique des actes de dialogue qu'il véhicule et, inversement, à partir d'une forme logique des actes de dialogue le message du système qui la réalise. Cette technologie vise notamment la conception de systèmes paramétrables selon l'application à laquelle ils sont destinés. Le module d'interprétation définit pour les langues manipulées (français, anglais et allemand) se basent sur une représentation conceptuelle des unités sémantiques maniées. L'interpréteur utilise un lexique sous une forme déclinée et des micro-grammaires qui permettent « d'allumer » des concepts à partir des mots. Les concepts allumés sont ensuite filtrés par des algorithmes écrit en Prolog gérant la validité sémantique de l'énoncé (par exemple : considérer la demande "le prix des menus" comme une demande portant sur le prix moyen des repas dans un restaurant et non sur ces menus). L'objectif de ce stage est d'engager des travaux tant du point de vue théorique que du point de vue mise en oeuvre dans un système opérationnel visant la normalisation et la complétion de filtres existants. La première partie du stage consistera à se familiariser avec le formalisme utilisé. La seconde partie consistera à modifier les algorithmes existants pour obtenir une couverture la plus complète possible. Ces résultats seront ensuite intégrés dans le module de traitement linguistique du système de dialogue existant.

La revue est annuelle, mais des Cahiers lui sont associés, sorte de numéros spéciaux à périodicité variable. Le premier numéro de CORPUS, "Corpus et recherches linguistiques", vient de paraître (décembre 2002). Il est consacré à une réflexion approfondie sur la notion même de corpus et sur son statut exact. Nous avons croisé des regards théoriques et des réflexions issues de l'utilisation de corpus dans des champs linguistiques variés afin d'obtenir une mise au point aussi précise que possible sur la place du corpus dans nos recherches et sur les enjeux méthodologiques et épistémologiques du développement de la linguistique de corpus. Ont été ainsi abordés, à travers mise en perspective historique et réflexion sur les pratiques actuelles, des questions liées aux modalités mêmes de la construction d'un corpus (fermé / ouvert, exhaustif / échantillonné, brut / stratifié / catégorisé, réflexif, etc.) et par là même à son statut d'observatoire linguistique (base empirique mais objet construit, à fonction illustrative ou probatoire ?). L'impact de certains outils d'exploitation a pu aussi être évoqué. Ce premier numéro compte, après une introduction générale de Sylvie Mellet, 5 contributions originales et 3 comptes rendus de lectures détaillés.

Technologies Over the years, there have been many conferences on MT, involving rule-based approaches, statistical and example-based approaches, hybrid and multi-engine approaches as well as those limited to particular sublanguage domains. In addition, there has been an increased level of interest in controlled languages, culminating in the series of Workshops on controlled language applications. These have given impetus to both monolingual and multilingual guidelines and applications using controlled language, for many different languages. Controlled languages are subsets of natural languages whose grammars and dictionaries have been restricted in order to reduce or eliminate both ambiguity and complexity. Traditionally, controlled languages fall into two major categories: those that improve readability for human readers, particularly non-native speakers, and those that improve computational processing of the text. It is often claimed that machine-oriented controlled language should be of particular benefit when it comes to the use of translation tools (including machine translation, translation memory, multilingual terminology tools etc.). Experience has shown that high quality MT systems can be designed for specialized domains (e.g. METEO). However, the area of controlled translation has remained relatively unaddressed. This is rather strange given its undoubted importance. Such examples that exist use rule-based MT (RBMT) systems to translate controlled language documentation, e.g. Caterpillar's CTE and CMU's KANT system, and General Motors CASL and LantMark, etc. However, fine-tuning general systems designed for use with unrestricted texts to derive specific, restricted applications is complex and expensive. The primary aim of this unique conference, therefore, is to elicit papers on controlled translation, and provide a forum in which the problems may be outlined, possible solutions proposed, and in general to bring together developers, implementors, researchers and end-users from the publications, authoring, translation and localization fields to discuss how ideas from both the authoring and translation camps might be integrated in this common area. Some specific topics which might be addressed include: * What is controlled translation? * RBMT and controlled translation. * TM/EBMT and controlled translation. * Influence and interplay of controlled language upon both source-language parsing and target-language generation in an MT system. * Role of the lexicon in controlled translation. * Can we expect better controlled translations from a hybrid approach? Or from a multi-engine approach? * Towards a Roadmap for controlled translation - the way ahead? In addition, we welcome contributions on MT as well as on controlled language which do not address the main theme per se. Please consult the conference URL (http://www.eamt.org/eamt-claw03/) for some suggestions. Important Dates/Prizes for 'Best Papers' Owing to a large number of requests for an extension to the original deadline of Nov 29th (and with apologies, and thanks, to those who have submitted so far), we have come up with the following, new schedule: Paper Submissions: Jan 10, 2003 (extended) Reviews due: Feb 14, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: Feb 28, 2003 Camera Ready Copy: Mar 31, 2003 Note that the programme committee will select a set of up to 4 `best papers' (best MT, best Controlled Language, best Controlled Translation, Best Student Submission) for whom registration fees will be waived. Submission Details Papers accepted for the conference will be published in a proceedings volume available to all attendees. Papers should describe unique work not published before. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences should include this information on the first page. Paper submissions should follow these conventions: * Maximum length is 4000 words * 8.5" x 11" page size * Single-column, single-spaced, 1" margins * 12 point font * Include title, authors, and contact info centered at the top of the first page * Include an abstract of about 100 words Electronic submission is strongly encouraged.

It examines the hypothesis that the behavior of lexical items may be explained in terms of a very small number of very simple principles. In particular, a lexical item is assumed to project a syntactic configuration defined over just two relations, complement and specifier, where these configurations are constrained to preclude iteration and to permit only binary branching. The work examines this hypothesis by methodically looking at a variety of constructions in English and other languages. At the time of his death, Ken Hale was the Ferrari P. Ward Professor Emeritus in Linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Samuel Jay Keyser is the Peter de Florez Professor Emeritus in Linguistics and Special Assistant to the Chancellor at MIT. He is editor of the journal Linguistic Inquiry, the Linguistic Inquiry Monograph Series, and the book series Current Studies in Linguistics (all MIT Press). "It is difficult to exaggerate the significance of this profound and far-reaching inquiry into lexical semantics and its consequences for the structure of expressions, drawing on a remarkable range of empirical materials that are explored in depth with penetrating insight. Ambitious, controversial, highly original, and provocative, it is sure to be a landmark in the study of language." --Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology "This book is an extraordinarily lucid presentation of Hale and Keyser's insightful, and deservedly influential, approach to argument structure. It is one more reminder of how much we will miss Ken Hale, but how blessed we were to have him as long as we did." --Howard Lasnik, Department of Linguistics, University of Maryland 6 x 9, 296 pp., paper ISBN 0-262-58214-7, cloth ISBN 0-262-08308-6 Linguistic Inquiry Monograph series ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffus? 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 parrain?e par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adh?sion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From alexis.nasr at LINGUIST.JUSSIEU.FR Thu Jan 2 11:44:01 2003 From: alexis.nasr at LINGUIST.JUSSIEU.FR (Alexis Nasr) Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2003 12:44:01 +0100 Subject: Appel: TALN2003 : appel a tutoriels Message-ID: [english version below] **************************************************************** TALN 2003 - APPEL A TUTORIELS **************************************************************** TALN 2003 aura lieu a Batz-sur-Mer (44) du mercredi 11 juin au samedi 14 juin 2003, organisee par l'IRIN (Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Nantes, UPRES-EA 2157, Universite de Nantes) en collaboration avec les laboratoires ACIDORE et VALORIA (EA 2793) de l'Universite de Bretagne-Sud et de l'IRISA, INRIA, Rennes.

France T?l?com R&D dispose d'une technologie de dialogue coop?ratif intelligent. Cette technologie est fond?e sur une mod?lisation des principes primitifs qui r?gissent le comportement rationnel et traite ainsi le fait de communiquer comme une action ? part enti?re, que l'on appelle acte de dialogue. Le noyau d'un syst?me de dialogue fond? sur cette approche op?re sur une repr?sentation logique des connaissances. Son exploitation r?elle requiert l'existence d'un interpr?teur et d'un g?n?rateur qui permettent, respectivement, de construire ? partir d'un message de l'utilisateur une forme logique des actes de dialogue qu'il v?hicule et, inversement, ? partir d'une forme logique des actes de dialogue le message du syst?me qui la r?alise. Cette technologie vise notamment la conception de syst?mes param?trables selon l'application ? laquelle ils sont destin?s. Le module d'interpr?tation d?finit pour les langues manipul?es (fran?ais, anglais et allemand) se basent sur une repr?sentation conceptuelle des unit?s s?mantiques mani?es. L'interpr?teur utilise un lexique sous une forme d?clin?e et des micro-grammaires qui permettent ? d'allumer ? des concepts ? partir des mots. Les concepts allum?s sont ensuite filtr?s par des algorithmes ?crit en Prolog g?rant la validit? s?mantique de l'?nonc? (par exemple : consid?rer la demande "le prix des menus" comme une demande portant sur le prix moyen des repas dans un restaurant et non sur ces menus). L'objectif de ce stage est d'engager des travaux tant du point de vue th?orique que du point de vue mise en oeuvre dans un syst?me op?rationnel visant la normalisation et la compl?tion de filtres existants. La premi?re partie du stage consistera ? se familiariser avec le formalisme utilis?. La seconde partie consistera ? modifier les algorithmes existants pour obtenir une couverture la plus compl?te possible. Ces r?sultats seront ensuite int?gr?s dans le module de traitement linguistique du syst?me de dialogue existant. Pour tous renseignements, contacter : C?line Anc?
