The discussions will be centered, but not limited to, the following topics: - Building new resources - Acquiring lexical information - Maintaining resources - Representing lexical information (i.e. polysemy, collocation links, multiword expressions, predicate-argument structure) - Using lexical information in applications - Specialization and customization for specific applications - Links between different frameworks - Sharing lexical resources - Multilinguality in the lexicon - Standardization and evaluation Papers on on-line ressources can make reference to any semantic lexicons (Wordnet, Framenet, Meaning-text theory, etc.), but a link to Generative Lexicon theory is desirable (Pustejovsky 1995). Key topics are: - How to build a Generative Lexicon? - How a Generative Lexicon can be extracted from existing ressources or corpora? - How to connect qualia structures with other lexical information? - How to use Qualia structures in NLP applications? The conference will be held over a period of two and a half days. Both posters and presentations are foreseen. Invited speakers include: Nicholas Asher (University of Texas at Austin), Nicoletta Calzolari (Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale, Pisa), Ann Copestake (University of Cambridge, UK), Mirella Lapata (University of Sheffield, UK) and James Pustejovsky (Brandeis University, Waltham). Submission procedure: Authors should submit an anonymous paper of at most 10 single-column pages (including references) using a 12' body font size together with a separate page specifying the author's name, affiliation, address, e-mail address, title and type of paper (normal presentation or poster). The minimum size is 3 pages for a poster paper and 5 pages for a normal paper. The papers should be submitted electronically (in postscript, rtf or pdf format) to both: pierrette.bouillon at issco.unige.ch and kanzaki at nict.go.jp.

A second generation of QA systems, aimed at being cooperative, emerged in the late 80s - early 90s. In these systems, quite advanced reasoning models were developed on closed domains to go beyond the production of direct responses to a query, in particular when the query has no response or when it contains misconceptions. More recently, systems such as JAVELIN, Inference WEB or Cogex, operating over open domains, integrate gradually inferential components, but not as advanced as those of the 90s. Performances of these systems in the recent TREC-QA tracks show that reasoning components do improve the response relevance and accuracy. They can also potentially be much more cooperative. However, there is still a long way before being able to produce accurate, cooperative and robust QA systems. Recent foundational, methodological and technological developments in knowledge representation (e.g. ontologies, knowledge bases incorporating various forms of incompleteness or uncertainty), advanced reasoning forms (e.g. relaxation, intensional calculus, data fusion), not necessarily based on unification, advanced language processing resources and techniques (for question processing as well as for generating responses), and recent progress in HLT make it possible to foresee the elaboration of much more accurate, cooperative and robust systems dedicated to answering questions from textual data, from e.g. online texts or web pages, operating either on open or closed domains. The workshop will be organized around a few major questions of interest to a number of AI, NLP, HLT and pragmatics people. One main question is the characterization of those reasoning procedures that need to be developed to answer questions, either on closed or on open domains. Then, are enhancing reasoning procedures and accuracy of knowledge representation sufficient conditions to improve responses ? If not, what is the role of language processing and what are the relevant paradigms (e.g. lexical inference) ? How do language and reasoning interact ? Next, what are the language models and techniques appropriate for producing responses which sound natural for the user (relevant, fluid, of an appropriate granularity, with terms the user understands, etc.). Another perspective is the role of pragmatics as a means, for example, to better capture the user's goals and intentions from his query, and therefore to better organize the response. Pragmatics is also of importance to better analyse the potential implicatures the user may draw from NL responses, in particular when the response is not direct. List of topics: - Methodologies for intelligently answering questions, - New types of questions and related KR, pragmatic and linguistic paradigms: procedural questions (how), causal questions (why), questions with comparative expressions, questions with negation, etc. - Reasoning aspects: * information fusion, * search criteria expansion models (e.g. relaxation techniques), * summarization and intensional answers, * reasoning under uncertainty or with incomplete knowledge, * Detecting and resolving query failure (due to e.g. incomplete data, misconceptions or false presuppositions) - Knowledge representation and integration: * levels of knowledge involved (e.g. ontologies, domain knowledge), * knowledge extraction models and techniques to optimize response accuracy, * coherence and integration. - Flexible and interactive systems possibly including a user model, - Pragmatic dimensions of intelligently answering questions: * user intentions, plans and goals recognition in questions, * conversational implicatures in responses, * principles for the design of cooperative systems. - Language processing: * question processing : parameters of interest for response production, * response generation (e.g. lexical choice, templates), * use of language resources for reasoning in question-answering, * explanation production (showing sources and inferences, reporting data incompleteness, etc.) - Evaluation * End-to-end evaluation of complex question types, * Intrinsic evaluation of inference methods, * Data-intensive vs knowledge-intensive methods, * portability techniques for closed domains. Submissions: The goal of this workshop is to enhance cooperation between participants with an AI background and the NLP and question-answering communities. Contributors must be opened to interactions with the different workshop areas. The programme committee will care to have a balanced number of participants from the different areas concerned: reasoning and inference, knowledge representation, NLP (in particular language generation), question-answering, human language technology and pragmatics. Although papers will obviously have a dominant theme, it is important that they contain material from at least 2 disciplines of the workshop (AI, NLP, pragmatics, ...). To encourage an athmosphere appropriate for a workshop, we plan to: - have a 15mn discussion at the end of each session, - have a panel on future directions of intelligent question-answering and on how the different disciplines can interact as optimally as possible, - have a session of demonstrations and posters. Submission format: We welcome short papers (max 5 pages), describing projects or ongoing research and long papers (max. 10 pages), that relate more established results. Papers must be sent in .pdf format. The format to use for papers and abstracts is the same as for IJCAI. Please follow the IJCAI formatting instructions and use the supplied Word templates or Latex sources. The title page (no separate title page is needed) should include the following information: Title Authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses Topic(s) of the above list, as appropriate Abstract (short summary up to 5 lines) Deadlines: March 10: paper submissions (sent to benamara at irit.fr) April 20: acceptance/rejection notification May 15: final papers due, camera-ready May 25: manuscript sent to IJCAI for printing by organizers. Publication: All accepted papers (long and short) will be published in the workshop proceedings. A book publication is under project.

In PDTB, we annotate discourse connectives and their arguments. Rather than starting from abstract discourse relations, we describe an approach to annotating a large scale corpus in terms of a more basic characterization of discourse structure. The PDTB provides a discourse layer of annotation on top of the existing Penn Treebank (syntactic annotation) and PropBank (semantic annotation) thus supporting the extraction of useful syntactic and semantic features and providing a rich substrate for the development and evaluation of practical algorithms. During the talk I will give a brief overview of the PDTB project and present a detailed analysis of inter-annotator agreement for a fraction of the corpus. Time permitting, I will also talk about our latest studies on sense disambiguation of connectives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffusĂ© 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 parrainĂ©e par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhĂ©sion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR Mon Jan 10 14:32:13 2005 From: thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2005 15:32:13 +0100 Subject: [ln] Appel: CIDE 8, Beyrouth, Lebanon, new deadline Message-ID: Date: Sat, 18 Dec 2004 15:20:32 +0100 From: Ghassan Mourad Message-ID: <1103379632.41c43cb08df54 at mail.sorbonne.fr> X-url: http://europia.org/CIDE8 X-url: http://www.certic.unicaen.fr/cide8 X-url: http://www.lalic.paris4.sorbonne.fr/ DĂ©solĂ© des envois rĂ©pĂ©tĂ©s / merci de redistribuer Ă  toute personne intĂ©ressĂ©e ------------------------------------ Bonjour, Nous avons le plaisir de vous informer que la date limite de soumission des articles Ă  CIDE.8 est le 3/1/2005 et le 15/1/2005 pour les ateliers.

Il envisage donc essentiellement le lexique dans son interfaçage avec une grammaire. Nous excluons les lexiques morphologiques (mettant en relation formes flexionnelles et lemmes) pour lesquels les standards sont mieux Ă©tablis et davantage de ressources libres existent, pour nous concentrer sur les lexiques syntaxiques et sĂ©mantiques. Les entrĂ©es de ces lexiques sont les unitĂ©s lexicales de la langue, y compris les locutions et collocations. Le lexique sĂ©mantique contient la description des sens des unitĂ©s lexicales, par exemple par l'intermĂ©diaire d'une dĂ©composition en sèmes ou d'une dĂ©finition formalisĂ©e. Le lexique syntaxique contient les particularitĂ©s syntaxiques des unitĂ©s lexicales, du point de vue de lÂ’ordre des mots ou de la compatibilitĂ© avec des constructions syntaxiques particulières, et en particulier les informations concernant les caractĂ©ristiques syntaxiques des arguments (la sous-catĂ©gorisation). Les deux lexiques sont fortement liĂ©s, notamment Ă  travers la dĂ©limitation des unitĂ©s lexicales et des arguments syntaxiques et sĂ©mantiques de ces unitĂ©s lexicales. Sans exclure le reste de la communautĂ© scientifique, la journĂ©e est surtout tournĂ©e vers la communautĂ© francophone et vise Ă  inventorier les ressources disponibles pour le français et Ă  dĂ©finir des formats dÂ’Ă©change pour les lexiques (et les grammaires). La communautĂ© francophone ne dispose pas aujourdÂ’hui de lexiques syntaxiques ou sĂ©mantiques librement accessibles et interfacĂ©s avec une grammaire. Il existe nĂ©anmoins de nombreuses ressources dĂ©veloppĂ©es pour le français, souvent pionnières au niveau international, comme le lexique-grammaire initiĂ© par Maurice Gross et maintenant dĂ©veloppĂ© par l'IGM, le Dictionnaire Explicatif et Combinatoire, initiĂ© par Igor Mel'cuk et dĂ©veloppĂ© par l'OLST ou le TrĂ©sor de la Langue Francaise InformatisĂ© dĂ©veloppĂ© par l'ATILF. Nous nous fixons plusieurs objectifs. Sur le plan thĂ©orique, il sÂ’agit dÂ’Ă©valuer la qualitĂ© des lexiques actuels, de rĂ©flĂ©chir sur le type dÂ’informations que doivent contenir ces lexiques et surtout de proposer un encodage de ces informations qui les rendent utilisables par une vaste panoplie de formalismes. Des travaux de normalisation en cours, comme le sous-comitĂ© RNIL « Lexiques Pour Le Tal » dans le cadre de la dĂ©finition de la norme LMF (Lexical Markup Framework ISO WD 24613), montrent qu'un travail thĂ©orique prĂ©alable est nĂ©cessaire, lequel travail ne peut ĂŞtre menĂ© sans une rĂ©flexion globale sur le modèle linguistique et la façon dont lexique et grammaire s'interfacent. Outre l'interfaçage avec la grammaire, le dĂ©veloppement de lexiques syntaxiques et sĂ©mantiques pose la question de l'organisation des donnĂ©es Ă  l'intĂ©rieur du lexique (par exemple par un dĂ©coupage en classes syntaxiques et un graphe d'hĂ©ritage de propriĂ©tĂ©s associĂ©es aux classes) et donc de la « grammaire » du lexique (ou mĂ©talexique). Sur le plan pratique, il sÂ’agit d'abord fĂ©dĂ©rer les diffĂ©rents projets de dĂ©veloppement de modèles linguistiques et tout particulièrement les projets de dĂ©veloppement de lexiques syntaxiques et sĂ©mantiques, qui constituent la tâche la plus lourde. Pour pouvoir proposer des modèles du français Ă  large couverture, il est nĂ©cessaire dÂ’oeuvrer au partage des ressources actuelles. Thèmes possibles pour une proposition de communication : - prĂ©sentation de ressources existantes : lexiques syntaxiques et sĂ©mantiques, et Ă©ventuellement grammaires (si la prĂ©sentation est orientĂ©e vers lÂ’interfaçage avec le lexique) - standardisation et normalisation des lexiques syntaxiques et sĂ©mantiques (et Ă©ventuellement des grammaires) - travaux thĂ©oriques sur la pertinence de la distinction lexique/grammaire ou sur lÂ’interface lexique-grammaire Proposition de communication orale (environ 30 mn) : deux Ă  quatre pages. Proposition de dĂ©mo : une ou deux pages prĂ©sentant les caractĂ©ristiques de la ressource (architecture, couverture, type dÂ’information, etc.) et un exemple dÂ’entrĂ©e lexicale.

As we are obliged to choose our candidates from a database called ELSA and cannot accept applicants that are not in this database, we strongly encourage interested persons to register with this database. Registering with ELSA is rather easy (see http://www.cordis.lu/research_openings/personnel_elsa_en.htm) if you have an updated CV at hand. Please make sure to choose ‘Computational LinguisticsÂ’ as one of the discipline keywords describing your background to ensure that we find your application in this large database, which serves all research parts of the European Commission. The JRCÂ’s Language Technology work The JRCÂ’s Language Technology group specialises in multilingual text analysis applications providing cross-lingual information access and allowing users in the European Commission and in EU Member State institutions to explore and navigate large multilingual document collections. See http://www.jrc.it/langtech for details about our work, and http://www.jrc.it/langtech/WorkatJRC.html for information on contract types, internships, our location, etc. Languages In order to provide services (such as automatic news digest and analysis) to EC users from all 25 EU countries, we are, in principle, interested in working with all twenty official EU languages, including the languages of EU-15 (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Greek, Finnish and Swedish) and those of the ten new EU Member States (Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian, Czech, Hungarian, Slovene, Maltese, Polish, Slovak). We are furthermore interested in the languages of the EU Accession Countries (Bulgarian, Romanian, Croat, Turkish) and in a selection of world languages (including Arabic and Russian). Disciplines and methods Due to the large number of languages of interest, we mainly make use of statistical and Machine Learning techniques and we try to exploit existing multilingual thesauri and nomenclatures. However, due to the rising interest in information extraction and event template filling, we intend to include more linguistic, rule-based techniques in the near future, for a subset of languages. Fields of interest Our fields of activity and interest include document retrieval, information extraction, named entity recognition, event template filling, terminology extraction, thesaurus indexing, multilingual classification and clustering, document relevance-ranking, monolingual and cross-lingual document similarity calculation, news analysis, topic detection, topic tracking, visualisation of textual information, the exploitation of parallel corpora (some of which are available in 20 languages), multilingual dictionary generation, etc. Profile of the applicants We are searching for computational linguists or people with a background in machine learning, linguistics, statistics, computer science, or related areas. Applicants should have good programming skills and an interest in producing hands-on results. People with either developer or researcher profiles are welcome to apply. Applicants must have the nationality of one of the 25 European Union Member States. ________________________________________________________________ Verschicken Sie romantische, coole und witzige Bilder per SMS!

It aims at bringing together the dialogue modelling and language generation/production communities and will provide an opportunity for researchers from a variety of disciplines, including linguistics, computer science and psycholinguistics, to exchange ideas. We invite talks elaborating on important theoretical notions in dialogue modelling -such as constraints (Asher & Lascarides, 2003, and many other recent papers), the role of domain knowledge (e.g., Ludwig, 2003, and, again, many more) and the influence of social relations between interlocutors on dialogue behaviour (going back to the seminal work by Brown and Levinson, 1978)- and ask presenters to shed light on these or other theoretically fruitful notions in dialogue modelling by: - relating them to issues in language generation/production or - drawing out similarities and differences between applications of such notions in discourse generation versus interpretation or - describing computational/implemented models, in particular, for generation/production or - comparing psycholinguistic with linguistic or engineering approaches to dialogue modelling. The symposium will thus be a natural complement to ones that deal with NL interpretation or structural properties of discourse. Participants have to register for the main meeting The Symposium is endorsed by SIGGen and by SIGDial We are currently in conversation with a publisher regarding publication of selected symposium papers as book after the meeting.

Organisateurs : Remo Mugnaioni (institut de recherche et d'étude du monde Arabe et Musulman, Université de Provence), Serge Rosmorduc (équipe langue et littérature de l'Égypte ancienne, ÉPHÉ). Objectifs Apparu à la fin des années 50, tout d'abord dans une optique de traduction automatique, le traitement automatique du langage naturel (TAL) a assez tôt fait l'objet d'applications dans les langues anciennes, en particulier dans le domaine de l'analyse morphologique et pour la réalisation de corpora électroniques. Depuis une quinzaine d'années, avec la généralisation de l'outil informatique et d'internet, les applications du TAL au sens large du terme se multiplient dans les disciplines philologiques. La présente journée d'étude se propose de faire un tour d'horizon de ces pratiques. Thèmes essentiels Analyse morphologique et/ou syntaxique automatique des langues anciennes ; Corpus informatiques (constitution du corpus, recherches, et exploitation du corpus), comme par exemple le projet Perseus ; Dictionnaires ; Codage des langues ancienne (définition du signe d'écriture, représentation du texte) ; XML, TEI et langues anciennes (formalismes XML pour représenter les documents anciens, structuration de corpus en XML, DTD ou schémas pour les dictionnaires) ; acquisition de textes, OCR, et langues anciennes (reconnaissance de caractères, recherche de mots dans des documents scannés, liens entre corpus d'images et corpus structurés) ; le TAL comme outil pour le philologue (emploi effectif de techniques de TAL en philologie, segmentation, lemmatisation) ; TAL et pédagogie des langues anciennes ; ... Organisation Communications : nous proposons une gamme de participation : exposés standard (30mn de présentation, proposition sur 2 pages), notes de projet, pour un travail en cours (15mn, texte de 1 page), propositions de démo (1 page).

Crossing Barriers in Text Summarization Research Workshop to be help in conjunction with *** RANLP 2005 *** Borovets - Bulgaria http://www.lml.bas.bg/ranlp2005 *** 24th of September 2005 *** First Call for Papers An abstract or summary is a text of a recognisable genre with a very specific purpose: to give the reader an exact and concise knowledge of the contents of a source document. In most cases, summaries are written by humans, but nowadays, the overwhelming quantity of information and the need to access the essential content of documents accurately to satisfy users' demands has made of Automatic Text Summarization a major research field. Most summarization solutions developed today perform sentence extraction, a useful, yet sometimes inadequate technique. In order to move from the sentence extraction paradigm to a more challenging, semantically and linguistically motivated 'abstracting' paradigm, significant linguistic (i.e., lexicons, grammars, etc.) as well as non-linguistic knowledge (i.e., ontologies, scripts, etc.) will be required. Some 'abstracting' problems like 'headline generation', have been recently addressed using language models that rely on little semantic information, what are the limits of these approaches when trying to generate multi-sentence discourses? What tools are there to support 'text abstraction'? What type of natural language generation techniques are appropriate in this context? Are general purpose natural language generation systems appropriate in this task? Professional abstractors play a mayor role in dissemination of information through abstract writing, and their work has many times inspired research on automatic text summarization, they are certainly one of the keys in the understanding of the summarization process. Therefore, what tools are there to support Machine Assisted Summarization and more specifically how these tools can be used to capture 'professional summarization' knowledge? In a multi-lingual context, summaries are useful instruments in overcoming the language barrier: cross-lingual summaries help users assess the relevance of the source, before deciding to obtain a good human translation of the source. This topic is particularly important in a context where the relevant information only exists in a language different from that of the user. What techniques are there to attack this new and challenging issue? What corpora would be appropriate for the study of this task? The ``news'' has been a traditional concern of summarization research, but we have seen, in the past few years, an increasing interest for summarization applications on technical and scientific texts, patient records, sport events, legal texts, educative material, e-mails, web pages, etc. The question then, is how to adapt summarization algorithms to new domains and genres. Machine learning algorithms over superficial features have been used in the past to decide upon a number of indicators of content relevance, but when the feature space is huge or when more ``linguistically'' motivated features are required, and as a consequence the data sparseness problem appears, what learning tools are more appropriate for training our summarization algorithms? What types of models should be learned (e.g., macrostructures, scripts, thematic structures, etc.)? Text summarization, information retrieval, and question answering support humans in gathering vital information in everyday activities. How these tools can be effectively integrated in practical applications? and how such applications can be evaluated in a practical context? We call for contributions on any aspect of the summarization problem, but we would like the workshop to give the research community the opportunity for discussion of the following research problems: * Crossing the language barrier: cross-lingual summarization; corpora to support this summarization enterprise; * Crossing the extractive barrier: non-extractive summarization (i.e., text abstraction); resources for capturing abstraction knowledge or expertise; * Crossing genres, domains, and media: adaptation of summarization to new genres, domains, media, and tasks. * Crossing technological barriers: integration of summarization with other NLP technologies such as Question Answering and Information Retrieval. The workshop will be organized around paper presentations and panel discussions. It will also feature an invited speaker (to be confirmed).

While these constraints have been instrumental in the research of other linguistic phenomena and constructions as one of the most reliable diagnoses for grammatical structure and relations, the interest around binding theory itself has continuously expanded, to a considerable extent also due to recent results from psycholinguistics and from new research methodologies such as neuro-imaging. This has led to a vast array of exciting results and research issues, of which the following are just some examples: -What clarification can be obtained when binding constraints are put into perspective with respect to discourse structure? -What is their proper locus (syntax, semantics, ...) in the architecture of grammar? -What is intrinsic to binding constraints and what should be factored out as (sub-)regularities possibly due to other grammatical modules and phenomena? - What is the best definition of auxiliary notions (command, domain, ...) in view of increased empirical adequacy? - Are there languages of the world whose anaphors comply with yet to uncover binding principles? -What cross-linguistic generalizations, i.e., invariants, hold in anaphoric binding? - How to accommodate binding theory in current formal grammatical frameworks and how this may contribute to determine their appropriate shape? - How to enforce the satisfaction of binding constraints by grammatical representations and what is the most efficient algorithm to do this? - What is the root of the intriguing symmetries across binding principles and of their prominent modular nature? - What are their cognitive underpinnings and how do these relate to anaphora processing and resolution? The aim of this workshop is to provide participants with a forum where their research on binding benefits from insightful discussion and from the exchange of leading edge results on issues closely related to their work. We thus invite the submission of papers contributing innovative approaches, solutions, data or results on all aspects of binding theory. Submission Details: We invite E-MAIL submissions of abstracts for 30 minute presentations (followed by 10 minutes of discussion) which should consist of two parts: 1. A separate information page in plain text format, containing - author name(s) - affiliation(s) - e-mail and postal address(es) - title of paper 2. An extended abstract of not more than 5 (five) pages, including all figures and references. Abstracts should be in PDF format. All abstracts should be sent to Manfred Sailer (manfred.sailer at phil.uni-goettingen.de). Abstracts for the workshop should mention 'binding-05' in the subject line. All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers. Authors are asked to avoid self-references in the abstracts. Important Dates: Abstract submission deadline: February 15, 2005 Notification of acceptance: April 15, 2005 Workshop: August 22, 2005 Publication: The proceedings of the workshop will be published on-line by CSLI publications together with those of the hosting conference.

Restricted domains provide an interesting mix of challenges and opportunities that are yet to explore. For example, the limited data available makes it difficult to apply conventional question-answering techniques based on data redundancy and the specific terminology of some domains typically is not available in generic lexical resources. On the other hand, restricted domains enable the development of specific ontologies or knowledge bases that can be used for high-precision question answering tasks. Note that there is an AAAI workshop on inference in textual question answering. If you are wondering what workshop your research fits best, please contact the organisers of any of these two workshops. This workshop is a follow-up of the ACL 2005 workshop TOPICS     * Comparison between open-domain and restricted-domain QA     * Characterisation of types of restricted domains and type of       technology required for QA on those domains     * Methodologies     * Tools and resources     * Description of specific restricted-domain QA systems     * Development of modules (e.g. document preselection, NE       extraction, terminology extraction) for use in restricted-domain       QA systems     * Portability of QA systems between different restricted domains     * Evaluation FORMAT OF WORKSHOP The workshop includes an invited presentation, a set of full papers and short papers, and a final discussion panel. The invited presenter will address some of the questions posed above. The emphasis is not so much about addressing the questions but about presenting a challenging topic that encourages discussion. There will be full papers and short papers. The full papers will focus on the specific issues listed above, whereas the short papers can focus on system descriptions or provide small contributions to the workshop goals. The discussion panel includes 5-minute statements from leading researchers in different related areas of expertise. The panel will be followed by a discussion moderated by one of the workshop organisers. ATTENDANCE We expect an attendance of 25-50 people from the areas of question answering in open domains and restricted domains to allow for useful comparison and generalisation. To encourage discussion and participation, only invited people can attend. We therefore require potential participants that do not wish to contribute with a paper to send an email to the workshop organisers with a one-page description of their interest in the topic and their position statements. The information will be used to organise the final workshop discussion session. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS 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.

It aims at bringing together the dialogue modelling and language generation/production communities and will provide an opportunity for researchers from a variety of disciplines, including linguistics, computer science and psycholinguistics, to exchange ideas. We invite talks elaborating on important theoretical notions in dialogue modelling -such as constraints (Asher & Lascarides, 2003, and many other recent papers), the role of domain knowledge (e.g., Ludwig, 2003, and, again, many more) and the influence of social relations between interlocutors on dialogue behaviour (going back to the seminal work by Brown and Levinson, 1978)- and ask presenters to shed light on these or other theoretically fruitful notions in dialogue modelling by: - relating them to issues in language generation/production or - drawing out similarities and differences between applications of such notions in discourse generation versus interpretation or - describing computational/implemented models, in particular, for generation/production or - comparing psycholinguistic with linguistic or engineering approaches to dialogue modelling. The symposium will thus be a natural complement to ones that deal with NL interpretation or structural properties of discourse. Participants have to register for the main meeting The Symposium is endorsed by SIGGen and by SIGDial We are currently in conversation with a publisher regarding publication of selected symposium papers as a book after the meeting.

These are languages of countries in the developing world (e.g. Wolof in Senegal), or regional languages in countries where the first language is a global one (e.g. Breton in France). Linguistic work on these languages is often lacking, and must overcome a number of difficulties: - the presence of many lexical alternatives - multiple spellings for the same word, - the lack of exhaustive lexicons, - non-standardized transcription methods - etc. This is why we describe these languages as "under-resourced" or "pi-languages": for political and economic reasons they lack sufficient resources in terms of both linguistic study and information technology. The goal of this workshop is to provide a progress report on techniques being used for Natural Language Processing of under-resourced languages. THEMES Researchers are invited to present work related to any of the following topics: - Methods for measuring the level of technology available for a given language - Assessment of resources for basic computerization, and standardization of these resources (editors, virtual keyboards, printing, sorting, etc.) - Collection of corpora and other linguistic resources (lexicons, grammars); the role of the Internet, diasporas, unsupervised training algorithms - Methodologies for computerization of under-resourced languages (details of techniques) - Specific technologies (OCR, PDA) - Encoding of linguistic data (lexicons, morphology, syntax, and semantics) and genericity of formats. - Reports concerning the computerization of a particular language or group of pi-languages. - Architectures for NLP technologies : adaptation of existing technologies to pi-languages. - Surveys of major problems encountered in this area. SELECTION CRITERIA ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit papers concerning original research. All submissions will be examined by at least two specialists in the area. Particular attention will be paid to: - appropriateness for the themes of the workshop - importance and originality of the contribution - validity of the technical and scientific content - critical discussion of the results, in particular as they relate to other work in the field - organization and clarity of the presentation The selected articles will be published in the conference proceedings. METHODS OF SUBMISSION ------------------------------ * Submitted articles may not exceed 10 pages in Times 12, single-spaced (about 3000 words), figures, examples, and references included.

Il s'agit de langues de pays en voie de dĂ©veloppement (comme le wolof au SĂ©nĂ©gal par exemple), ou bien de langues rĂ©gionales dans des pays oĂą la langue officielle est une langue de dimension internationale (le breton en France). Ces langues souffrent souvent de lacunes dans les travaux linguistiques qui leur sont consacrĂ©s et doivent faire face Ă  diverses difficultĂ©s : - prĂ©sence de nombreuses variantes lexicales, - graphies concurrentes pour un mĂŞme mot, - inexistence de lexiques exhaustifs, - transcription non complètement standardisĂ©e - etc. CÂ’est pourquoi nous qualifions ces langues de « peu dotĂ©es » ou « langues-pi » : elles sont Ă  la fois peu informatisĂ©es et peu Ă©tudiĂ©es, que ce soit pour des raisons politiques ou Ă©conomiques. Cet atelier vise Ă  faire le point sur les mĂ©thodes Ă  adopter pour dĂ©velopper le Traitement Automatique des Langues pour des langues peu dotĂ©es. THEMES Les chercheurs seront invitĂ©s Ă  prĂ©senter des communications autour des thèmes suivants : - MĂ©thodes de mesure du niveau d'informatisation d'une langue. - Bilan des solutions apportĂ©es en informatisation de base, standardisation de ces solutions (Ă©diteurs, claviers virtuels, impression , tri lexicographique etc.). - Recueil de corpus et de ressources langagières (lexiques, grammaires) : rĂ´le d'Internet et des diasporas, apport des algorithmes dÂ’apprentissage. - MĂ©thodologie d'informatisation pour les langues-pi (spĂ©cificitĂ© des techniques d'informatisation). - Technologies d'actualitĂ© (ROC ou PDA). - ModĂ©lisation des donnĂ©es linguistiques (lexiques, morphologie, syntaxe et sĂ©mantique) et gĂ©nĂ©ricitĂ© des formats adoptĂ©s. - Rapports d'expĂ©riences sur l'informatisation d'une langue ou d'un groupe de langues-pi. - Architectures des technologies de TALN : adaptation des technologies existantes aux langues-pi. - Panorama des grands types de problèmes linguistiques rencontrĂ©s lors du traitement automatique de langues-pi. CRITERES DE SÉLECTION ------------------------------ Les auteurs sont invitĂ©s Ă  soumettre des travaux de recherche originaux. Les soumissions seront examinĂ©es par au moins deux spĂ©cialistes du domaine. Seront considĂ©rĂ©es en particulier: - l'adĂ©quation Ă  la thĂ©matique de lÂ’atelier. - l'importance et l'originalitĂ© de la contribution, - la correction du contenu scientifique et technique, - la discussion critique des rĂ©sultats, en particulier par rapport aux autres travaux du domaine, - l'organisation et la clartĂ© de la prĂ©sentation, Les articles sĂ©lectionnĂ©s seront publiĂ©s dans les actes de la confĂ©rence. MODALITÉS DE SOUMISSION ----------------------------------- * Les articles soumis ne devront pas dĂ©passer 10 pages en Times 12, espacement simple, soit environ 3000 mots, figures, exemples et rĂ©fĂ©rences compris.

Appel Ă  communications pour la JournĂ©e ATALA sur le thème ---------------------------------------------------------- « HĂ©sitations, disfluences, rĂ©pĂ©titions, faux dĂ©parts : quel ordre dans le dĂ©sordre ? » --------------------------------------------------------- organisĂ©e par Maria Candea (EA 1483 Paris 3), Ioana Vasilescu (ENST CNRS) et Martine Adda-Decker (LIMSI CNRS) La JournĂ©e aura lieu le : samedi 2 avril 2005 Lieu : ENST, 46 rue Barrault (Paris 13ème) Date limite des soumissions : 2 fĂ©vrier 2005 RĂ©ponse aux auteurs : 2 mars 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------- Le dĂ©but des Ă©tudes linguistiques sur des corpus d'enregistrements oraux non lus dans les annĂ©es 50 a eu comme consĂ©quence l'Ă©mergence de toute une problĂ©matique des phĂ©nomènes dits d'hĂ©sitation qui ont dĂ» ĂŞtre posĂ©s comme objets d'Ă©tude. Les linguistes et les spĂ©cialistes de la parole ont tentĂ© depuis de trouver des reprĂ©sentations de ces phĂ©nomènes aussi bien dans les transcriptions que dans les modèles syntaxiques, d'en dĂ©crire les rĂ©gularitĂ©s formelles ou quantitatives. Plus rĂ©cemment du cĂ´tĂ© du TAL (Traitement Automatique des Langues) et plus particulièrement du cĂ´tĂ© du traitement automatique de la parole, les chercheurs travaillant en reconnaissance automatique de la parole ont Ă©tĂ© obligĂ©s Ă  se pencher sur la question. En effet, les corpus de parole spontanĂ©e sont caractĂ©risĂ©s par la prĂ©sence massive de ces phĂ©nomènes de disfluences, dont on n'a pas encore dĂ©crit avec prĂ©cision la fonction (hĂ©sitation, rĂ©paration, travail de formulation, recherche dans la mĂ©moire, malaise, effets de style, marques facilitant le droit Ă  la parole, etc.) MalgrĂ© l'apparente irrĂ©gularitĂ© de ces phĂ©nomènes, malgrĂ© leur diversitĂ©, des constantes se dĂ©gagent Ă  travers l'observation de corpus de mĂŞme type, ou d'une mĂŞme langue, voire de plusieurs langues. Certaines constantes pourraient ĂŞtre universelles. Le but de cette journĂ©e est de construire des convergences entre les chercheurs qui s'intĂ©ressent Ă  ces phĂ©nomènes afin d'avancer vers de possibles modĂ©lisations exploitables en traitement automatique. Les prĂ©sentations d'Ă©tudes en cours, non encore finalisĂ©es, d'hypothèses inĂ©dites en cours de vĂ©rification sont les bienvenues. Toutes les rĂ©flexions allant dans le sens de l'organisation des phĂ©nomènes dits d'hĂ©sitation sont intĂ©ressantes pour cette journĂ©e. Axes donnĂ©s Ă  titre indicatif : - RĂ©gularitĂ©s phonĂ©tiques, prosodiques ou syntaxiques des phĂ©nomènes dits d'hĂ©sitation - Contraintes phonotactiques, prosodiques ou syntaxiques qui pèsent sur l'apparition de ces phĂ©nomènes - RĂ©gularitĂ©s intra ou inter-langues - Propositions de modĂ©lisation intra ou inter-langue - RĂ©gularitĂ©s dĂ©jĂ  utilisĂ©s en TAL : descriptions, modĂ©lisations, Ă©valuations - Corpus de parole spontanĂ©e : transcriptions et annotations des disfluences - Disfluences et intelligibilitĂ© pour la synthèse (effet de la prĂ©sence / absence des disfluences en parole spontanĂ©e sur l'intelligibilitĂ© ; tests de perception) - Disfluences : phĂ©nomènes de rupture et/ou de « jonction »? - HĂ©sitations et L2 - ... La littĂ©rature anglophone et anglo-centrĂ©e Ă©tant particulièrement abondante sur ces questions, seront privilĂ©giĂ©es les Ă©tudes portant sur des langues autres que l'anglais. NĂ©anmoins, toute comparaison avec les Ă©tudes sur l'anglais sera la bienvenue. Nous conseillons de prĂ©ciser clairement le type de corpus Ă©tudiĂ© (parole lue, prĂ©parĂ©e, spontanĂ©e) et la situation de communication (exposĂ©, rĂ©cit, dialogue privĂ©, dĂ©bat privĂ©, dĂ©bat radiodiffusĂ©, etc...). La journĂ©e s'intĂ©resse aux disfluences de la parole « normale », mais les communications concernant la parole pathologique peuvent ĂŞtre acceptĂ©es dans la mesure oĂą elles illustrent le rapport entre parole pathologique et parole normale. ------------------------------------------------ ComitĂ© d'organisation : Maria Candea (EA 1483 - Univ.

The discussions will be centered, but not limited to, the following topics: - Building new resources - Acquiring lexical information - Maintaining resources - Representing lexical information (i.e. polysemy, collocation links, multiword expressions, predicate-argument structure) - Using lexical information in applications - Specialization and customization for specific applications - Links between different frameworks - Sharing lexical resources - Multilinguality in the lexicon - Standardization and evaluation Papers on on-line ressources can make reference to any semantic lexicons (Wordnet, Framenet, Meaning-text theory, etc.), but a link to Generative Lexicon theory is desirable (Pustejovsky 1995). Key topics are: - How to build a Generative Lexicon? - How a Generative Lexicon can be extracted from existing ressources or corpora? - How to connect qualia structures with other lexical information? - How to use Qualia structures in NLP applications? The conference will be held over a period of two and a half days. Both posters and presentations are foreseen. Invited speakers include: Nicholas Asher (University of Texas at Austin), Nicoletta Calzolari (Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale, Pisa), Ann Copestake (University of Cambridge, UK), Mirella Lapata (University of Sheffield, UK) and James Pustejovsky (Brandeis University, Waltham). Submission procedure: Authors should submit an anonymous paper of at most 10 single-column pages (including references) using a 12' body font size together with a separate page specifying the author's name, affiliation, address, e-mail address, title and type of paper (normal presentation or poster). The minimum size is 3 pages for a poster paper and 5 pages for a normal paper. The papers should be submitted electronically (in postscript, rtf or pdf format) to both: pierrette.bouillon at issco.unige.ch and kanzaki at nict.go.jp. Language: All papers must be submitted and presented in English. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the workshop. Important dates: Paper due: January, 30th, 2005 Acceptance/rejection notice: End of February 2005 Final version due: April 15th, 2005 Conference: May 19-21, 2005 Workshop Chairs: Pierrette Bouillon Kyoko Kanzaki Program Committee: Susan Armstrong (ETI, TIM/ISSCO, University of Geneva) Toni Badia (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona) Christian Bassac (Universit?

A second generation of QA systems, aimed at being cooperative, emerged in the late 80s - early 90s. In these systems, quite advanced reasoning models were developed on closed domains to go beyond the production of direct responses to a query, in particular when the query has no response or when it contains misconceptions. More recently, systems such as JAVELIN, Inference WEB or Cogex, operating over open domains, integrate gradually inferential components, but not as advanced as those of the 90s. Performances of these systems in the recent TREC-QA tracks show that reasoning components do improve the response relevance and accuracy. They can also potentially be much more cooperative. However, there is still a long way before being able to produce accurate, cooperative and robust QA systems. Recent foundational, methodological and technological developments in knowledge representation (e.g. ontologies, knowledge bases incorporating various forms of incompleteness or uncertainty), advanced reasoning forms (e.g. relaxation, intensional calculus, data fusion), not necessarily based on unification, advanced language processing resources and techniques (for question processing as well as for generating responses), and recent progress in HLT make it possible to foresee the elaboration of much more accurate, cooperative and robust systems dedicated to answering questions from textual data, from e.g. online texts or web pages, operating either on open or closed domains. The workshop will be organized around a few major questions of interest to a number of AI, NLP, HLT and pragmatics people. One main question is the characterization of those reasoning procedures that need to be developed to answer questions, either on closed or on open domains. Then, are enhancing reasoning procedures and accuracy of knowledge representation sufficient conditions to improve responses ? If not, what is the role of language processing and what are the relevant paradigms (e.g. lexical inference) ? How do language and reasoning interact ? Next, what are the language models and techniques appropriate for producing responses which sound natural for the user (relevant, fluid, of an appropriate granularity, with terms the user understands, etc.). Another perspective is the role of pragmatics as a means, for example, to better capture the user's goals and intentions from his query, and therefore to better organize the response. Pragmatics is also of importance to better analyse the potential implicatures the user may draw from NL responses, in particular when the response is not direct. List of topics: - Methodologies for intelligently answering questions, - New types of questions and related KR, pragmatic and linguistic paradigms: procedural questions (how), causal questions (why), questions with comparative expressions, questions with negation, etc. - Reasoning aspects: * information fusion, * search criteria expansion models (e.g. relaxation techniques), * summarization and intensional answers, * reasoning under uncertainty or with incomplete knowledge, * Detecting and resolving query failure (due to e.g. incomplete data, misconceptions or false presuppositions) - Knowledge representation and integration: * levels of knowledge involved (e.g. ontologies, domain knowledge), * knowledge extraction models and techniques to optimize response accuracy, * coherence and integration. - Flexible and interactive systems possibly including a user model, - Pragmatic dimensions of intelligently answering questions: * user intentions, plans and goals recognition in questions, * conversational implicatures in responses, * principles for the design of cooperative systems. - Language processing: * question processing : parameters of interest for response production, * response generation (e.g. lexical choice, templates), * use of language resources for reasoning in question-answering, * explanation production (showing sources and inferences, reporting data incompleteness, etc.) - Evaluation * End-to-end evaluation of complex question types, * Intrinsic evaluation of inference methods, * Data-intensive vs knowledge-intensive methods, * portability techniques for closed domains. Submissions: The goal of this workshop is to enhance cooperation between participants with an AI background and the NLP and question-answering communities. Contributors must be opened to interactions with the different workshop areas. The programme committee will care to have a balanced number of participants from the different areas concerned: reasoning and inference, knowledge representation, NLP (in particular language generation), question-answering, human language technology and pragmatics. Although papers will obviously have a dominant theme, it is important that they contain material from at least 2 disciplines of the workshop (AI, NLP, pragmatics, ...). To encourage an athmosphere appropriate for a workshop, we plan to: - have a 15mn discussion at the end of each session, - have a panel on future directions of intelligent question-answering and on how the different disciplines can interact as optimally as possible, - have a session of demonstrations and posters. Submission format: We welcome short papers (max 5 pages), describing projects or ongoing research and long papers (max. 10 pages), that relate more established results. Papers must be sent in .pdf format. The format to use for papers and abstracts is the same as for IJCAI. Please follow the IJCAI formatting instructions and use the supplied Word templates or Latex sources. The title page (no separate title page is needed) should include the following information: Title Authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses Topic(s) of the above list, as appropriate Abstract (short summary up to 5 lines) Deadlines: March 10: paper submissions (sent to benamara at irit.fr) April 20: acceptance/rejection notification May 15: final papers due, camera-ready May 25: manuscript sent to IJCAI for printing by organizers. Publication: All accepted papers (long and short) will be published in the workshop proceedings. A book publication is under project.

In PDTB, we annotate discourse connectives and their arguments. Rather than starting from abstract discourse relations, we describe an approach to annotating a large scale corpus in terms of a more basic characterization of discourse structure. The PDTB provides a discourse layer of annotation on top of the existing Penn Treebank (syntactic annotation) and PropBank (semantic annotation) thus supporting the extraction of useful syntactic and semantic features and providing a rich substrate for the development and evaluation of practical algorithms. During the talk I will give a brief overview of the PDTB project and present a detailed analysis of inter-annotator agreement for a fraction of the corpus. Time permitting, I will also talk about our latest studies on sense disambiguation of connectives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR Mon Jan 10 14:32:13 2005 From: thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2005 15:32:13 +0100 Subject: [ln] Appel: CIDE 8, Beyrouth, Lebanon, new deadline Message-ID: Date: Sat, 18 Dec 2004 15:20:32 +0100 From: Ghassan Mourad Message-ID: <1103379632.41c43cb08df54 at mail.sorbonne.fr> X-url: http://europia.org/CIDE8 X-url: http://www.certic.unicaen.fr/cide8 X-url: http://www.lalic.paris4.sorbonne.fr/ D?sol? des envois r?p?t?s / merci de redistribuer ? toute personne int?ress?e ------------------------------------ Bonjour, Nous avons le plaisir de vous informer que la date limite de soumission des articles ?

Il envisage donc essentiellement le lexique dans son interfa?age avec une grammaire. Nous excluons les lexiques morphologiques (mettant en relation formes flexionnelles et lemmes) pour lesquels les standards sont mieux ?tablis et davantage de ressources libres existent, pour nous concentrer sur les lexiques syntaxiques et s?mantiques. Les entr?es de ces lexiques sont les unit?s lexicales de la langue, y compris les locutions et collocations. Le lexique s?mantique contient la description des sens des unit?s lexicales, par exemple par l'interm?diaire d'une d?composition en s?mes ou d'une d?finition formalis?e. Le lexique syntaxique contient les particularit?s syntaxiques des unit?s lexicales, du point de vue de l?ordre des mots ou de la compatibilit? avec des constructions syntaxiques particuli?res, et en particulier les informations concernant les caract?ristiques syntaxiques des arguments (la sous-cat?gorisation). Les deux lexiques sont fortement li?s, notamment ? travers la d?limitation des unit?s lexicales et des arguments syntaxiques et s?mantiques de ces unit?s lexicales. Sans exclure le reste de la communaut? scientifique, la journ?e est surtout tourn?e vers la communaut? francophone et vise ? inventorier les ressources disponibles pour le fran?ais et ? d?finir des formats d??change pour les lexiques (et les grammaires). La communaut? francophone ne dispose pas aujourd?hui de lexiques syntaxiques ou s?mantiques librement accessibles et interfac?s avec une grammaire. Il existe n?anmoins de nombreuses ressources d?velopp?es pour le fran?ais, souvent pionni?res au niveau international, comme le lexique-grammaire initi? par Maurice Gross et maintenant d?velopp? par l'IGM, le Dictionnaire Explicatif et Combinatoire, initi? par Igor Mel'cuk et d?velopp? par l'OLST ou le Tr?sor de la Langue Francaise Informatis? d?velopp? par l'ATILF. Nous nous fixons plusieurs objectifs. Sur le plan th?orique, il s?agit d??valuer la qualit? des lexiques actuels, de r?fl?chir sur le type d?informations que doivent contenir ces lexiques et surtout de proposer un encodage de ces informations qui les rendent utilisables par une vaste panoplie de formalismes. Des travaux de normalisation en cours, comme le sous-comit? RNIL ??Lexiques Pour Le Tal?? dans le cadre de la d?finition de la norme LMF (Lexical Markup Framework ISO WD 24613), montrent qu'un travail th?orique pr?alable est n?cessaire, lequel travail ne peut ?tre men? sans une r?flexion globale sur le mod?le linguistique et la fa?on dont lexique et grammaire s'interfacent. Outre l'interfa?age avec la grammaire, le d?veloppement de lexiques syntaxiques et s?mantiques pose la question de l'organisation des donn?es ? l'int?rieur du lexique (par exemple par un d?coupage en classes syntaxiques et un graphe d'h?ritage de propri?t?s associ?es aux classes) et donc de la ??grammaire?? du lexique (ou m?talexique). Sur le plan pratique, il s?agit d'abord f?d?rer les diff?rents projets de d?veloppement de mod?les linguistiques et tout particuli?rement les projets de d?veloppement de lexiques syntaxiques et s?mantiques, qui constituent la t?che la plus lourde. Pour pouvoir proposer des mod?les du fran?ais ? large couverture, il est n?cessaire d?oeuvrer au partage des ressources actuelles. Th?mes possibles pour une proposition de communication?: - pr?sentation de ressources existantes?: lexiques syntaxiques et s?mantiques, et ?ventuellement grammaires (si la pr?sentation est orient?e vers l?interfa?age avec le lexique) - standardisation et normalisation des lexiques syntaxiques et s?mantiques (et ?ventuellement des grammaires) - travaux th?oriques sur la pertinence de la distinction lexique/grammaire ou sur l?interface lexique-grammaire Proposition de communication orale (environ 30 mn)?: deux ? quatre pages. Proposition de d?mo : une ou deux pages pr?sentant les caract?ristiques de la ressource (architecture, couverture, type d?information, etc.) et un exemple d?entr?e lexicale.

As we are obliged to choose our candidates from a database called ELSA and cannot accept applicants that are not in this database, we strongly encourage interested persons to register with this database. Registering with ELSA is rather easy (see http://www.cordis.lu/research_openings/personnel_elsa_en.htm) if you have an updated CV at hand. Please make sure to choose ??Computational Linguistics?? as one of the discipline keywords describing your background to ensure that we find your application in this large database, which serves all research parts of the European Commission. The JRC??s Language Technology work The JRC??s Language Technology group specialises in multilingual text analysis applications providing cross-lingual information access and allowing users in the European Commission and in EU Member State institutions to explore and navigate large multilingual document collections. See http://www.jrc.it/langtech for details about our work, and http://www.jrc.it/langtech/WorkatJRC.html for information on contract types, internships, our location, etc. Languages In order to provide services (such as automatic news digest and analysis) to EC users from all 25 EU countries, we are, in principle, interested in working with all twenty official EU languages, including the languages of EU-15 (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Greek, Finnish and Swedish) and those of the ten new EU Member States (Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian, Czech, Hungarian, Slovene, Maltese, Polish, Slovak). We are furthermore interested in the languages of the EU Accession Countries (Bulgarian, Romanian, Croat, Turkish) and in a selection of world languages (including Arabic and Russian). Disciplines and methods Due to the large number of languages of interest, we mainly make use of statistical and Machine Learning techniques and we try to exploit existing multilingual thesauri and nomenclatures. However, due to the rising interest in information extraction and event template filling, we intend to include more linguistic, rule-based techniques in the near future, for a subset of languages. Fields of interest Our fields of activity and interest include document retrieval, information extraction, named entity recognition, event template filling, terminology extraction, thesaurus indexing, multilingual classification and clustering, document relevance-ranking, monolingual and cross-lingual document similarity calculation, news analysis, topic detection, topic tracking, visualisation of textual information, the exploitation of parallel corpora (some of which are available in 20 languages), multilingual dictionary generation, etc. Profile of the applicants We are searching for computational linguists or people with a background in machine learning, linguistics, statistics, computer science, or related areas. Applicants should have good programming skills and an interest in producing hands-on results. People with either developer or researcher profiles are welcome to apply. Applicants must have the nationality of one of the 25 European Union Member States. ________________________________________________________________ Verschicken Sie romantische, coole und witzige Bilder per SMS!

It aims at bringing together the dialogue modelling and language generation/production communities and will provide an opportunity for researchers from a variety of disciplines, including linguistics, computer science and psycholinguistics, to exchange ideas. We invite talks elaborating on important theoretical notions in dialogue modelling -such as constraints (Asher & Lascarides, 2003, and many other recent papers), the role of domain knowledge (e.g., Ludwig, 2003, and, again, many more) and the influence of social relations between interlocutors on dialogue behaviour (going back to the seminal work by Brown and Levinson, 1978)- and ask presenters to shed light on these or other theoretically fruitful notions in dialogue modelling by: - relating them to issues in language generation/production or - drawing out similarities and differences between applications of such notions in discourse generation versus interpretation or - describing computational/implemented models, in particular, for generation/production or - comparing psycholinguistic with linguistic or engineering approaches to dialogue modelling. The symposium will thus be a natural complement to ones that deal with NL interpretation or structural properties of discourse. Participants have to register for the main meeting The Symposium is endorsed by SIGGen and by SIGDial We are currently in conversation with a publisher regarding publication of selected symposium papers as book after the meeting.

Crossing Barriers in Text Summarization Research Workshop to be help in conjunction with *** RANLP 2005 *** Borovets - Bulgaria http://www.lml.bas.bg/ranlp2005 *** 24th of September 2005 *** First Call for Papers An abstract or summary is a text of a recognisable genre with a very specific purpose: to give the reader an exact and concise knowledge of the contents of a source document. In most cases, summaries are written by humans, but nowadays, the overwhelming quantity of information and the need to access the essential content of documents accurately to satisfy users' demands has made of Automatic Text Summarization a major research field. Most summarization solutions developed today perform sentence extraction, a useful, yet sometimes inadequate technique. In order to move from the sentence extraction paradigm to a more challenging, semantically and linguistically motivated 'abstracting' paradigm, significant linguistic (i.e., lexicons, grammars, etc.) as well as non-linguistic knowledge (i.e., ontologies, scripts, etc.) will be required. Some 'abstracting' problems like 'headline generation', have been recently addressed using language models that rely on little semantic information, what are the limits of these approaches when trying to generate multi-sentence discourses? What tools are there to support 'text abstraction'? What type of natural language generation techniques are appropriate in this context? Are general purpose natural language generation systems appropriate in this task? Professional abstractors play a mayor role in dissemination of information through abstract writing, and their work has many times inspired research on automatic text summarization, they are certainly one of the keys in the understanding of the summarization process. Therefore, what tools are there to support Machine Assisted Summarization and more specifically how these tools can be used to capture 'professional summarization' knowledge? In a multi-lingual context, summaries are useful instruments in overcoming the language barrier: cross-lingual summaries help users assess the relevance of the source, before deciding to obtain a good human translation of the source. This topic is particularly important in a context where the relevant information only exists in a language different from that of the user. What techniques are there to attack this new and challenging issue? What corpora would be appropriate for the study of this task? The ``news'' has been a traditional concern of summarization research, but we have seen, in the past few years, an increasing interest for summarization applications on technical and scientific texts, patient records, sport events, legal texts, educative material, e-mails, web pages, etc. The question then, is how to adapt summarization algorithms to new domains and genres. Machine learning algorithms over superficial features have been used in the past to decide upon a number of indicators of content relevance, but when the feature space is huge or when more ``linguistically'' motivated features are required, and as a consequence the data sparseness problem appears, what learning tools are more appropriate for training our summarization algorithms? What types of models should be learned (e.g., macrostructures, scripts, thematic structures, etc.)? Text summarization, information retrieval, and question answering support humans in gathering vital information in everyday activities. How these tools can be effectively integrated in practical applications? and how such applications can be evaluated in a practical context? We call for contributions on any aspect of the summarization problem, but we would like the workshop to give the research community the opportunity for discussion of the following research problems: * Crossing the language barrier: cross-lingual summarization; corpora to support this summarization enterprise; * Crossing the extractive barrier: non-extractive summarization (i.e., text abstraction); resources for capturing abstraction knowledge or expertise; * Crossing genres, domains, and media: adaptation of summarization to new genres, domains, media, and tasks. * Crossing technological barriers: integration of summarization with other NLP technologies such as Question Answering and Information Retrieval. The workshop will be organized around paper presentations and panel discussions. It will also feature an invited speaker (to be confirmed). Important Dates: Deadline for submission: *** 3 June 2005 *** Notification of acceptance: 29 July 2005 Camera-ready copy due: 19 August 2005 Workshop: 24 September 2005 Important Announcement: If the workshop is successful, we will issue an special call for a thematically focused volume on text summarization.

While these constraints have been instrumental in the research of other linguistic phenomena and constructions as one of the most reliable diagnoses for grammatical structure and relations, the interest around binding theory itself has continuously expanded, to a considerable extent also due to recent results from psycholinguistics and from new research methodologies such as neuro-imaging. This has led to a vast array of exciting results and research issues, of which the following are just some examples: -What clarification can be obtained when binding constraints are put into perspective with respect to discourse structure? -What is their proper locus (syntax, semantics, ...) in the architecture of grammar? -What is intrinsic to binding constraints and what should be factored out as (sub-)regularities possibly due to other grammatical modules and phenomena? - What is the best definition of auxiliary notions (command, domain, ...) in view of increased empirical adequacy? - Are there languages of the world whose anaphors comply with yet to uncover binding principles? -What cross-linguistic generalizations, i.e., invariants, hold in anaphoric binding? - How to accommodate binding theory in current formal grammatical frameworks and how this may contribute to determine their appropriate shape? - How to enforce the satisfaction of binding constraints by grammatical representations and what is the most efficient algorithm to do this? - What is the root of the intriguing symmetries across binding principles and of their prominent modular nature? - What are their cognitive underpinnings and how do these relate to anaphora processing and resolution? The aim of this workshop is to provide participants with a forum where their research on binding benefits from insightful discussion and from the exchange of leading edge results on issues closely related to their work. We thus invite the submission of papers contributing innovative approaches, solutions, data or results on all aspects of binding theory. Submission Details: We invite E-MAIL submissions of abstracts for 30 minute presentations (followed by 10 minutes of discussion) which should consist of two parts: 1. A separate information page in plain text format, containing - author name(s) - affiliation(s) - e-mail and postal address(es) - title of paper 2. An extended abstract of not more than 5 (five) pages, including all figures and references. Abstracts should be in PDF format. All abstracts should be sent to Manfred Sailer (manfred.sailer at phil.uni-goettingen.de). Abstracts for the workshop should mention 'binding-05' in the subject line. All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers. Authors are asked to avoid self-references in the abstracts. Important Dates: Abstract submission deadline: February 15, 2005 Notification of acceptance: April 15, 2005 Workshop: August 22, 2005 Publication: The proceedings of the workshop will be published on-line by CSLI publications together with those of the hosting conference. A call for papers for contributions to the on-line proceedings will be issued after the event.

Submission:?????????April 20, 2005 ? ? Notification:???????May 11, 2005 ? ? Camera ready:???????May 18, 2005 ? ? Workshop: ? ? ? ? ? July 9-10, 2005 (date TBA) WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION This one-day workshop will focus on the issues related to question answering in restricted domains. Restricted domains provide an interesting mix of challenges and opportunities that are yet to explore. For example, the limited data available makes it difficult to apply conventional question-answering techniques based on data redundancy and the specific terminology of some domains typically is not available in generic lexical resources. On the other hand, restricted domains enable the development of specific ontologies or knowledge bases that can be used for high-precision question answering tasks. Note that there is an AAAI workshop on inference in textual question answering. If you are wondering what workshop your research fits best, please contact the organisers of any of these two workshops. This workshop is a follow-up of the ACL 2005 workshop TOPICS ? ? * Comparison between open-domain and restricted-domain QA ? ? * Characterisation of types of restricted domains and type of ? ? ? technology required for QA on those domains ? ? * Methodologies ? ? * Tools and resources ? ? * Description of specific restricted-domain QA systems ? ? * Development of modules (e.g. document preselection, NE ? ? ? extraction, terminology extraction) for use in restricted-domain ? ? ? QA systems ? ? * Portability of QA systems between different restricted domains ? ? * Evaluation FORMAT OF WORKSHOP The workshop includes an invited presentation, a set of full papers and short papers, and a final discussion panel. The invited presenter will address some of the questions posed above. The emphasis is not so much about addressing the questions but about presenting a challenging topic that encourages discussion. There will be full papers and short papers. The full papers will focus on the specific issues listed above, whereas the short papers can focus on system descriptions or provide small contributions to the workshop goals. The discussion panel includes 5-minute statements from leading researchers in different related areas of expertise. The panel will be followed by a discussion moderated by one of the workshop organisers. ATTENDANCE We expect an attendance of 25-50 people from the areas of question answering in open domains and restricted domains to allow for useful comparison and generalisation. To encourage discussion and participation, only invited people can attend. We therefore require potential participants that do not wish to contribute with a paper to send an email to the workshop organisers with a one-page description of their interest in the topic and their position statements. The information will be used to organise the final workshop discussion session. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS 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. Authors should submit regular papers of maximum 10 pages or short papers of maximum 5 pages, including references and figures, following the AAAI technical reports guidelines. The review will not be blind. Submissions must be in PS or PDF format only.

Message-id: <41EEA41F.9010005 at uni-bielefeld.de> X-url: http://lubitsch.lili.uni-bielefeld.de/DMG X-url: http://www.let.vu.nl/conference/std2005/ Please apologize cross-postings Last Call for Extended Abstracts (2-3 pages) for the Symposium on Dialogue Modelling and Generation http://lubitsch.lili.uni-bielefeld.de/DMG Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Netherlands July 6, 2005 to be held as part of the annual meeting of the Society for Text & Discourse (ST&D) July 6-9, 2005 as announced at http://www.let.vu.nl/conference/std2005/ This symposium is intended to tackle issues in the semantics and pragmatics of dialogue and dialogue generation. It aims at bringing together the dialogue modelling and language generation/production communities and will provide an opportunity for researchers from a variety of disciplines, including linguistics, computer science and psycholinguistics, to exchange ideas. We invite talks elaborating on important theoretical notions in dialogue modelling -such as constraints (Asher & Lascarides, 2003, and many other recent papers), the role of domain knowledge (e.g., Ludwig, 2003, and, again, many more) and the influence of social relations between interlocutors on dialogue behaviour (going back to the seminal work by Brown and Levinson, 1978)- and ask presenters to shed light on these or other theoretically fruitful notions in dialogue modelling by: - relating them to issues in language generation/production or - drawing out similarities and differences between applications of such notions in discourse generation versus interpretation or - describing computational/implemented models, in particular, for generation/production or - comparing psycholinguistic with linguistic or engineering approaches to dialogue modelling. The symposium will thus be a natural complement to ones that deal with NL interpretation or structural properties of discourse. Participants have to register for the main meeting The Symposium is endorsed by SIGGen and by SIGDial We are currently in conversation with a publisher regarding publication of selected symposium papers as a book after the meeting.

These are languages of countries in the developing world (e.g. Wolof in Senegal), or regional languages in countries where the first language is a global one (e.g. Breton in France). Linguistic work on these languages is often lacking, and must overcome a number of difficulties: - the presence of many lexical alternatives - multiple spellings for the same word, - the lack of exhaustive lexicons, - non-standardized transcription methods - etc. This is why we describe these languages as "under-resourced" or "pi-languages": for political and economic reasons they lack sufficient resources in terms of both linguistic study and information technology. The goal of this workshop is to provide a progress report on techniques being used for Natural Language Processing of under-resourced languages. THEMES Researchers are invited to present work related to any of the following topics: - Methods for measuring the level of technology available for a given language - Assessment of resources for basic computerization, and standardization of these resources (editors, virtual keyboards, printing, sorting, etc.) - Collection of corpora and other linguistic resources (lexicons, grammars); the role of the Internet, diasporas, unsupervised training algorithms - Methodologies for computerization of under-resourced languages (details of techniques) - Specific technologies (OCR, PDA) - Encoding of linguistic data (lexicons, morphology, syntax, and semantics) and genericity of formats. - Reports concerning the computerization of a particular language or group of pi-languages. - Architectures for NLP technologies : adaptation of existing technologies to pi-languages. - Surveys of major problems encountered in this area. SELECTION CRITERIA ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit papers concerning original research. All submissions will be examined by at least two specialists in the area. Particular attention will be paid to: - appropriateness for the themes of the workshop - importance and originality of the contribution - validity of the technical and scientific content - critical discussion of the results, in particular as they relate to other work in the field - organization and clarity of the presentation The selected articles will be published in the conference proceedings. METHODS OF SUBMISSION ------------------------------ * Submitted articles may not exceed 10 pages in Times 12, single-spaced (about 3000 words), figures, examples, and references included. Articles are to be written in French for French speakers and in English for non-French speakers. * A LaTeX style file and Word template file will be available from the conference web site http://www.limsi.fr/TALN05. * Articles must be submitted as an attachment to an email with the subject "atelier TALN soumission" and containing the title of the article, principal author's name, affiliation, postal address, email address, telephone number, and fax number. Send this email to chantal.enguehard@ univ-nantes.fr. * It is IMPERATIVE that one of the following file formats be used, formatted for A4 paper: PS, PDF, RTF (Word). * In case an email submission is not possible, paper submissions may be accepted.

Dourdan en r?gion parisienne ============================================ Dans le cadre de TALN 2005 (6 au 10 juin 2005) http://www.limsi.fr/TALN05 De nombreuses langues n'ont pas franchi l'?tape de l'informatisation : elles sont peu pr?sentes sur Internet, les logiciels existants ne sont pas adapt?s. Il s'agit de langues de pays en voie de d?veloppement (comme le wolof au S?n?gal par exemple), ou bien de langues r?gionales dans des pays o? la langue officielle est une langue de dimension internationale (le breton en France). Ces langues souffrent souvent de lacunes dans les travaux linguistiques qui leur sont consacr?s et doivent faire face ? diverses difficult?s : - pr?sence de nombreuses variantes lexicales, - graphies concurrentes pour un m?me mot, - inexistence de lexiques exhaustifs, - transcription non compl?tement standardis?e - etc. C?est pourquoi nous qualifions ces langues de ? peu dot?es ? ou ? langues-pi ? : elles sont ? la fois peu informatis?es et peu ?tudi?es, que ce soit pour des raisons politiques ou ?conomiques. Cet atelier vise ? faire le point sur les m?thodes ? adopter pour d?velopper le Traitement Automatique des Langues pour des langues peu dot?es. THEMES Les chercheurs seront invit?s ? pr?senter des communications autour des th?mes suivants : - M?thodes de mesure du niveau d'informatisation d'une langue. - Bilan des solutions apport?es en informatisation de base, standardisation de ces solutions (?diteurs, claviers virtuels, impression , tri lexicographique etc.). - Recueil de corpus et de ressources langagi?res (lexiques, grammaires) : r?le d'Internet et des diasporas, apport des algorithmes d?apprentissage. - M?thodologie d'informatisation pour les langues-pi (sp?cificit? des techniques d'informatisation). - Technologies d'actualit? (ROC ou PDA). - Mod?lisation des donn?es linguistiques (lexiques, morphologie, syntaxe et s?mantique) et g?n?ricit? des formats adopt?s. - Rapports d'exp?riences sur l'informatisation d'une langue ou d'un groupe de langues-pi. - Architectures des technologies de TALN : adaptation des technologies existantes aux langues-pi. - Panorama des grands types de probl?mes linguistiques rencontr?s lors du traitement automatique de langues-pi. CRITERES DE S?LECTION ------------------------------ Les auteurs sont invit?s ? soumettre des travaux de recherche originaux. Les soumissions seront examin?es par au moins deux sp?cialistes du domaine. Seront consid?r?es en particulier: - l'ad?quation ? la th?matique de l?atelier. - l'importance et l'originalit? de la contribution, - la correction du contenu scientifique et technique, - la discussion critique des r?sultats, en particulier par rapport aux autres travaux du domaine, - l'organisation et la clart? de la pr?sentation, Les articles s?lectionn?s seront publi?s dans les actes de la conf?rence.

Students (not having defended yet their PhD thesis or defending it in 2005) are invited to submit short papers (2 or 3 pages) on the same topics as LACL. Submitted papers may present only partial but promising work. This student session offers a good opportunity for students to acquaint themselves with the world of research : digest writing exercise, feedback from the program committee, oral presentation exercise, feedback from LACL attendants. Students whose articles will be selected for the student session will benefit from reduced registration fees for the LACL conference. *** PAPER SELECTION *** Submitted articles will be reviewed by a program committee made of a a group of experienced researcher as well as a group of chosen PhD students. Each article will be reviewed by at least one experienced researcher and one of these PhD students. *** PAPER PRESENTATION *** Students whose papers will be selected will present their work in a poster session at the LACL conference. The papers will also be grouped and edited as an INRIA research report. *** TOPICS *** Computer scientists, linguists, mathematicians and philosophers are invited to present their work on the use of logical methods in computational linguistics and natural language processing, in natural language analysis, generation or acquisition. * LOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF SYNTACTIC FORMALISMS: - categorial grammars, - minimalist grammars, - dependency grammars, - tree adjoining grammars, - model theoretic syntax, - formal language theory for natural language processing, - data-driven approaches, * LOGIC FOR SEMANTICS OF LEXICAL ITEMS, SENTENCES, DISCOURSE AND DIALOG: - discourse representation theory, - Montague semantics, - compositionality, - dynamic logic, - game semantics, - situation semantics, - generative lexicon, * APPLICATIONS OF THESE MODELS TO NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING: - software for natural language analysis, - software for acquiring linguistic resources, - software for natural language generation, - software for information extraction, - question answering and human computer interaction in natural language, - evaluation and scalability *** SUBMISSION FORMAT *** Papers are be 2 to 3 pages long, including bibliography and possible figures and appendices.

Appel ? communications pour la Journ?e ATALA sur le th?me ---------------------------------------------------------- ? H?sitations, disfluences, r?p?titions, faux d?parts : quel ordre dans le d?sordre ? ? --------------------------------------------------------- organis?e par Maria Candea (EA 1483 Paris 3), Ioana Vasilescu (ENST CNRS) et Martine Adda-Decker (LIMSI CNRS) La Journ?e aura lieu le : samedi 2 avril 2005 Lieu : ENST, 46 rue Barrault (Paris 13?me) Date limite des soumissions : 2 f?vrier 2005 R?ponse aux auteurs : 2 mars 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------- Le d?but des ?tudes linguistiques sur des corpus d'enregistrements oraux non lus dans les ann?es 50 a eu comme cons?quence l'?mergence de toute une probl?matique des ph?nom?nes dits d'h?sitation qui ont d? ?tre pos?s comme objets d'?tude. Les linguistes et les sp?cialistes de la parole ont tent? depuis de trouver des repr?sentations de ces ph?nom?nes aussi bien dans les transcriptions que dans les mod?les syntaxiques, d'en d?crire les r?gularit?s formelles ou quantitatives. Plus r?cemment du c?t? du TAL (Traitement Automatique des Langues) et plus particuli?rement du c?t? du traitement automatique de la parole, les chercheurs travaillant en reconnaissance automatique de la parole ont ?t? oblig?s ? se pencher sur la question. En effet, les corpus de parole spontan?e sont caract?ris?s par la pr?sence massive de ces ph?nom?nes de disfluences, dont on n'a pas encore d?crit avec pr?cision la fonction (h?sitation, r?paration, travail de formulation, recherche dans la m?moire, malaise, effets de style, marques facilitant le droit ? la parole, etc.) Malgr? l'apparente irr?gularit? de ces ph?nom?nes, malgr? leur diversit?, des constantes se d?gagent ? travers l'observation de corpus de m?me type, ou d'une m?me langue, voire de plusieurs langues. Certaines constantes pourraient ?tre universelles. Le but de cette journ?e est de construire des convergences entre les chercheurs qui s'int?ressent ? ces ph?nom?nes afin d'avancer vers de possibles mod?lisations exploitables en traitement automatique. Les pr?sentations d'?tudes en cours, non encore finalis?es, d'hypoth?ses in?dites en cours de v?rification sont les bienvenues. Toutes les r?flexions allant dans le sens de l'organisation des ph?nom?nes dits d'h?sitation sont int?ressantes pour cette journ?e. Axes donn?s ? titre indicatif : - R?gularit?s phon?tiques, prosodiques ou syntaxiques des ph?nom?nes dits d'h?sitation - Contraintes phonotactiques, prosodiques ou syntaxiques qui p?sent sur l'apparition de ces ph?nom?nes - R?gularit?s intra ou inter-langues - Propositions de mod?lisation intra ou inter-langue - R?gularit?s d?j? utilis?s en TAL : descriptions, mod?lisations, ?valuations - Corpus de parole spontan?e : transcriptions et annotations des disfluences - Disfluences et intelligibilit? pour la synth?se (effet de la pr?sence / absence des disfluences en parole spontan?e sur l'intelligibilit? ; tests de perception) - Disfluences : ph?nom?nes de rupture et/ou de ? jonction ?? - H?sitations et L2 - ... La litt?rature anglophone et anglo-centr?e ?tant particuli?rement abondante sur ces questions, seront privil?gi?es les ?tudes portant sur des langues autres que l'anglais. N?anmoins, toute comparaison avec les ?tudes sur l'anglais sera la bienvenue. Nous conseillons de pr?ciser clairement le type de corpus ?tudi? (parole lue, pr?par?e, spontan?e) et la situation de communication (expos?, r?cit, dialogue priv?, d?bat priv?, d?bat radiodiffus?, etc...). La journ?e s'int?resse aux disfluences de la parole ? normale ?, mais les communications concernant la parole pathologique peuvent ?tre accept?es dans la mesure o? elles illustrent le rapport entre parole pathologique et parole normale. ------------------------------------------------ Comit? d'organisation : Maria Candea (EA 1483 - Univ.
