Aslib's TRANSLATING AND THE COMPUTER 28 Conference
16-17 November 2006, Kensington, London
------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEWS: We are pleased to announce that Yves Champollion will be the
keynote speaker.  The title of his session is:
Very Large Translation Memories: is the free model viable?
Building a set of very large translation memories supporting all
language combinations is a challenging project. The VLTM project aims
at offering translators a repository of TM in all languages, made
available for free, with a search-engine approach. The author will
explore the technical, entrepreneurial, and deontological aspects of
this idealistic project, discuss its feasibility, and present the
current state reached by the project.

Yves is a consultant working with governments and large accounts for
translation/localisation projects. He is also the developer and owner
of the Wordfast and PlusTools suite of CAT (Computer-Assisted
Translation) tools.  This suite is popular among translation agencies
and free-lance translators, with over 10,000 licenses in use.  More
news to be announced shortly.

There is still time to book on to this year's conference. Full details

PURPOSE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE :

Following the workshop "Formal Ontologies for Communicating Agents"
that took place within the last ESSLLI summer school in Malaga, we
would like to invite contributions for a special issue of the
international journal ''Applied Ontology''.

We especially invite the authors of the paper presented at FOCA 2006
to submit an extended version of their contribution. However, anyone
is invited to submit a relevant contribution for the topic of the
special issue described below.

************************************************************************ 
*****************
DESCRIPTION:

In recent years lots of efforts have been devoted to formal studies of
human and artificial agent communication. Research advancements have
been achieved along three main lines: (i) agent's internal states and
dynamics, (ii) social interaction and conventional communicative
patterns, (iii) semantics-pragmatics interface - especially in the
dialogue context (i.e. the interplay between the semantic content of
messages and the communicative acts themselves). There is a recent
trend of studies trying to integrate these approaches in many ways. On
the other hand, formal ontology has been consecrated as a good
solution for comparing and integrating information and thus its
application to this specific domain is very promising . More
precisely, an ontological analysis of the fundamental ingredients of
interaction and communication will make explicit the hidden
ontological assumptions underlying all these proposals.

Ontology has also proven to be a very powerful means to address issues
related to the exchange of meaningful communication across autonomous
entities, which can organize and use information heterogeneously.  The
purpose of this special issue is therefore to gather contributions
that (i) take seriously into account the ontological aspects of
communication and interaction and (ii) use formal ontologies for
achieving a better semantic coordination between interacting and
communicating agents.

************************************************************************ 
****************
MAIN TOPICS:

We encourage contributions concerning the two main areas listed below   
with a particular attention to  explore the interplay between   
ontological analysis and its applications in practical cases.

* Ontological aspects of interaction and communication
    - Ontological analysis of interaction and communication
    - Studies on the structure and coherence of interaction
          - Logical models for communicative acts
    - Primitives of interaction and communication
    - Formal semantics of dialogue (dealing with ontological issues)
    *Semantic coordination through formal ontologies
    - Dialogue semantics and formal ontology
    - Dynamic ontology sharing
    - Ontological primitives for meaning negotiation, ontological   
alignment and semantic interoperability
        - Ontology evolution through communication
        - Concrete problems and experiences in terminological  
disambiguation and integration

************************************************************************ 
*****************
ABOUT THE JOURNAL:

Although a formal contribution is not an absolute requirement for
contributing to Applied Ontology, the contributors should keep in mind
the aim and scope of Applied Ontology, an interdisciplinary journal of
Ontological Analysis and Conceptual Modeling.

Applied Ontology is a new journal whose focus is on information
content in its broadest sense. As the subtitle makes clear, two broad
kinds of content-based research activities are envisioned: ontological
analysis and conceptual modeling. The former includes any attempt to
investigate the nature and structure of a domain of interest using
rigorous philosophical or logical tools; the latter concerns the
cognitive and linguistic structures we use to model the world, as well
as the various analysis tools and methodologies we adopt for producing
useful computational models, such as information systems schemes or
knowledge structures.

Applied Ontology is the first journal with explicit and exclusive
focus on ontological analysis and conceptual modeling under an
interdisciplinary view. It aims to establish a unique niche in the
realm of scientific journals by carefully avoiding unnecessary
duplication with discipline-oriented journals. For this reason,
authors will be encouraged to use language that will be intelligible
also to those outside their specific sector of expertise, and the
review process will be tailored to this end. For example, authors of
theoretical contributions will be encouraged to show the relevance of
their theory for applications, while authors of more technological
papers will be encouraged to show the relevance of a well-founded
theoretical perspective. Moreover, the journal will publish papers
focusing on representation languages or algorithms only where these
address relevant content issues, whether at the level of practical
application or of theoretical understanding. Similarly, it will
publish descriptions of tools or implemented systems only where a
contribution to the practice of ontological analysis and conceptual
modeling is clearly established.

SUBMISSION DETAILS:

Submissions, that will undergo a peer-reviewing process, must be sent  
electronically through the journal's website

	     Journées Sémantique et Modélisation, JSM 07
			   29-30 mars 2007
        UMR7023, CNRS & Université Paris 8 Vincennes/Saint-Denis

		   http://semantique.free.fr/jsm07/


		    Premier appel à communications


Le GDR Sémantique et Modélisation (CNRS) et l'UMR 7023 (CNRS &
Université Paris 8) organisent la cinquième édition des Journées de
Sémantique et Modélisation (JSM07). La conférence aura lieu les 29 et
30 mars 2007. (Les Journées seront précédées d'une Ecole Jeunes
Chercheurs en sémantique formelle, d'une durée de trois jours, avec
des cours en français.)

Le but de cette manifestation est de promouvoir les recherches
concernant la formalisation du sens et de l'interprétation
linguistiques. Compte tenu du développement de l'exploitation de
corpus en sémantique et dans les domaine connexes, les propositions
qui articulent l'utilisation de corpus et les problèmes de
représentation en sémantique et pragmatique seront les bienvenues.


THÉMATIQUE

Nous invitons toutes les personnes intéressées à soumettre des résumés
qui portent sur un problème de modélisation du sens et de
l'interprétation dans le cadre d'une analyse sémantique formelle. Cela
inclut par exemple, mais sans s'y limiter, les problèmes de
représentation qui touchent aux questions suivantes :

- l'interface syntaxe sémantique,
- la modélisation logique du sens,
- le temps et l'aspect,
- le sens lexical,
- le sens grammatical,
- la structure informationnelle,
- les présuppositions et les implicatures,
- les actes de langage,
- les relations de discours dans les textes et dans les dialogues.


CONDITIONS DE SOUMISSION

Les résumés doivent être anonymes. Ils ne doivent pas dépasser deux
pages, exemples et indications bibliographiques compris. Ils devront
comporter une marge de 2,5 cm au moins sur chaque côté et utiliser une
taille de police de 11 points minimum. Les fichiers peuvent être en
texte brut, PDF, RTF, ou Word. Les noms et les affiliations doivent
être inclus dans le corps du courrier électronique. Les propositions
doivent parvenir à l'adresse jsm07{at}free.fr au plus tard le 5
janvier 2007. Pour tout renseignement, contacter jsm07{at}free.fr.

       Named Entities: Recognition, Classification and Use  
         
         Special Issue of Lingvisticae Investigationes



Special issue website:
http://nlp.cs.nyu.edu/SpecialIssueNERLingInv/index.html


This special topic issue of the journal Lingvisticae Investigationes
is scheduled to come out in early 2008 on the broad topic of Named
Entities.

The aim is to bring out innovative papers on the issues and advances
in Named Entity recognition, classification and use, and how Named
Entities could be handled more effectively in a variety of NLP
applications.


GUEST EDITORS
-------------
The guest editors for this special issue will be (in alphabetical order):
 
Elisabete Ranchhod 
University of Lisbon
 
Satoshi Sekine 
New York University



BACKGROUND
----------

Since the MUC Conferences about Information Extraction, Named Entity
Recognition and Classification (NERC) is a well-established task in
the NLP community and is regarded as a crucial technology for many NLP
applications.  The definition of what is a Named Entity (NE), however,
still remains an overt question. NEs include classical classes of
proper names (persons, organizations, geographic locations,
geo-political entities) and numeric expressions (time, currencies,
percentages).

However, the correct identification and classification of single and
multiword domain specific expressions (e.g., disease names, biological
agents causing health problems, drugs used in disease treatment)
should be an important issue for a number of NLP applications (IE, MT,
QA, etc.) and dealing with these questions has become part and parcel
of the problems dealt by the NE camp.  Likewise, reference to definite
events or entities no longer referenced as proper names in text, as
encompassed by the ACE program, has long been accepted as part of the
NER discipline.


TOPICS
------
The guest editors seek papers on original and unpublished research on
all aspects of NE recognition, classification, and use. Special topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:

   * Real applications that employ NERC technology 
   * Linguistic properties of proper names 
   * Resources (lexicons, grammars, gazetteers, ontologies) for NERC 
   * The relevance of NERC as a subtask in NLP applications
     (e.g. question- answering (QA), information retrieval (IR),
     summarization, machine translation (MT))
   * Evaluation of NERC systems and of the import of NERC in larger
     applications
   * Cross-language issues in named entity research 
   * Philosophical and methodological concerns in NERC 
   * NEs in speech and transcribed speech and other media
   * Tools for rapid development of NERC resources
   * Learning of NERC rules
   * Domain adaptability of NERC systems

Purpose / History:

   This set of joint conferences is the largest annual gathering
   of researchers in computer science, computer engineering and
   applied computing.  Many of the 24 joint conferences in
   WORLDCOMP are the premier conferences for presentation of
   advances in their respective fields.  We anticipate to have
   2000 or more attendees from over 75 countries participating in
   the 2007 joint conferences.

   The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research
   conferences into a coordinated research meeting held in a
   common place at a common time.  The main goal is to provide a
   forum for exchange of ideas in a number of research areas that
   interact.  The model used to form these annual conferences
   facilitates communication among researchers from all over the world
   in different fields of computer science, computer engineering and
   applied computing.  Both inward research (core areas of computer
   science and engineering) and outward research (multi-disciplinary,
   inter-disciplinary, and applications) will be covered during the
   conferences.

Proposal for Organizing Sessions/Workshops:

   Each session will have at least 6 paper presentations from
   different authors (12 papers in the case of workshops).
   The session chairs will be responsible for all aspects of
   their sessions; including, soliciting papers, reviewing,
   selecting, ...  The names of session chairs will appear as
   Associate Editors in the conference proceedings and on the
   cover of the books.

   Proposals to organize sessions should include the following
   information: name and address (+ email) of proposer, title of
   session, a 100-word description of the topic of the session,
   the name of the conference the session is submitted for
   consideration, and a short description on how the session will
   be advertised (in most cases, session proposers solicit papers
   from colleagues and researchers whose work is known to the
   session proposer).  E-mail your proposal to H. R. Arabnia
   (address is given above).  We would like to receive the
   proposals by December 1, 2006.

Submission of Papers:

   Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper
   (about 5 to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to
   H. R. Arabnia by Feb. 20, 2007. E-mail submissions in MS
   document or PDF formats are preferable (Fax or postal
   submissions are also fine.)  All reasonable typesetting formats
   are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers will be
   asked to follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their
   papers for publication.)

   The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be
   limited to 7 (IEEE style) pages.  Papers must not have been
   previously published or currently submitted for publication
   elsewhere.  The first page of the draft paper should include:
   title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, email
   address, and telephone number for each author.  The first page
   should also identify the name of the author who will be presenting
   the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that
   would best represent the content of the paper.  Finally, the name
   of the conference that the paper is being submitted to must be
   stated on the first page.

   Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance,
   clarity, impact, and soundness.  Each paper will be refereed by
   two experts in the field who are independent of the conference
   program committee.  The referees' evaluations will then be reviewed
   by two members of the program committee who will recommend a
   decision to the chair of the track that the paper has been
   submitted to.  The chair will make the final decision.  Lastly, the
   Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one member of the program
   committee.

Members of Program and Organizing Committees:

   The Program Committee includes members of chapters of World
   Academy of Science (chapters: supercomputing; scientific
   computing; artificial intelligence; imaging science; databases;
   simulation; software engineering; embedded systems; internet
   and web technologies; communications; computer security; and
   bioinformatics.) The Program Committee for individual
   conferences is currently being formed.  Those interested in
   joining the Program Committee should email H. R. Arabnia
   (hra at cs.uga.edu) the following information: Name, affiliation
   and position, complete mailing address, email address, tel/fax
   numbers, a short biography together with research interests and
   the name of the conference offering to help with.

Location of Conferences:

   The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort hotel,
   Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by
   hotels).  The Monte Carlo Resort is a mega hotel with excellent
   conference facilities and over 3,000 rooms.  The hotel is
   minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle service to and
   from the airport.  This hotel has many recreational attractions,
   including: waterfalls, spa, pools and kiddie pools, sunning
   decks, Easy River water ride, wave pool with cascades, lighted
   tennis courts, health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool,
   sauna, ...), arcade game rooms, nightly shows, snack bars, a
   number of restaurants, shopping area, bars, ...  Many of these
   attractions are open 24 hours a day and most are suitable for
   families and children.  The negotiated room rate for conference
   attendees is very reasonable.  The hotel is within walking
   distance from most other attractions (major shopping areas,
   recreational destinations, fine dining and night clubs, free
   street shows, Golf courses...).

Journal of Applied Ontology: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Ontological
Analysis and Conceptual Modeling
http://www.applied-ontology.org/
IOS Press (Editors-in-Chief: Nicola Guarino and Mark A. Musen)

Special Issue on

**** ONTOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR CONCEPTUAL MODELING ****

Expected publication: Winter 2007
Submission Deadline: March 1st, 2007

GUEST EDITORS OF SPECIAL ISSUE
===========================================

- Giancarlo Guizzardi, Federal University of Espírito Santo, Vitória,
  Brazil & Laboratory for Applied Ontology (ISTC-CNR), Trento, Italy

- Terry Halpin, Neumont University, South Jordan, Utah, USA

OBJECTIVES OF THIS SPECIAL ISSUE
===========================================
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the role played
by formal ontology, and more generally, by areas such as philosophy,
logics, cognitive sciences and linguistics in the development of
theoretical foundations for conceptual modeling in computer
science. As it has been shown in a large number of recent
publications, so-called foundational ontologies such as BWW, GFO,
DOLCE, UFO, BFO, and Chisholm's have been successfully applied to the
evaluation of conceptual modeling languages and frameworks (e.g., UML,
ORM, ER) and to the development of engineering tools (e.g.,
methodological guidelines, modeling profiles, design patterns) that
contribute to the theory and practice of conceptual modelling.

The purpose of this special issue is to collect innovative and
high-quality research contributions regarding the role played by the
aforementioned areas to the theoretical foundations of conceptual
modeling.

This issue should be of interest of several academic communities,
including those working on database design, requirements engineering,
knowledge engineering, enterprise modeling, agent and object
orientation, information systems, software engineering (in particular
domain engineering), natural-language processing, business rules and
model-driven architectures.

We thus solicit contributions in several areas related to Ontological
Foundations for Conceptual Modeling. Topics of interest include:

- Philosophical and Cognitive Foundations for Conceptual Modeling
- Ontology-Based Conceptual Modeling: Methodologies, Tools, and Case
  Studies
- Psychological Experiments Evaluating the Cognitive Adequacy of
  Conceptual Modeling Primitives
- Ontological Analysis of Existing Conceptual Models (including
  Reference Models)
- Role of Ontology-driven Conceptual Modelling for Semantic
  Interoperability
- Ontological Design Patterns
- Linguistic theories and Natural-Language Semantics in Conceptual
  Modeling
- Formal Semantics of Conceptual Modeling Languages
- Comparison between existing Foundational Ontologies for the purpose
  of Conceptual Modeling

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
===========================================

Submissions, that will undergo a peer-reviewing process, must be sent
electronically through the journal's website
(http://www.applied-ontology.org/) by the deadline listed
below. Detailed instructions for authors are available from the same
website.

IMPORTANT DATES
===========================================
Submissions Deadline		March 1st, 2007
Notification of Authors		April 15th, 2007
Camera-ready Version		May 15th, 2007
Special Issue Publication 	Winter 2007

ABOUT THE JOURNAL
===========================================

Although a formal contribution is not an absolute requirement for
contributing to Applied Ontology, the contributors should keep in mind
the aim and scope of Applied Ontology, an interdisciplinary journal of
Ontological Analysis and Conceptual Modeling.

Applied Ontology is a new journal whose focus is on information
content in its broadest sense. As the subtitle makes clear, two broad
kinds of content-based research activities are envisioned: ontological
analysis and conceptual modeling. The former includes any attempt to
investigate the nature and structure of a domain of interest using
rigorous philosophical or logical tools; the latter concerns the
cognitive and linguistic structures we use to model the world, as well
as the various analysis tools and methodologies we adopt for producing
useful computational models, such as information systems schemes or
knowledge structures.

Applied Ontology is the first journal with explicit and exclusive
focus on ontological analysis and conceptual modeling under an
interdisciplinary view. It aims to establish a unique niche in the
realm of scientific journals by carefully avoiding unnecessary
duplication with discipline-oriented journals. For this reason,
authors will be encouraged to use language that will be intelligible
also to those outside their specific sector of expertise, and the
review process will be tailored to this end.

For example, authors of theoretical contributions will be encouraged
to show the relevance of their theory for applications, while authors
of more technological papers will be encouraged to show the relevance
of a well-founded theoretical perspective. Moreover, the journal will
publish papers focusing on representation languages or algorithms only
where these address relevant content issues, whether at the level of
practical application or of theoretical understanding. Similarly, it
will publish descriptions of tools or implemented systems only where a
contribution to the practice of ontological analysis and conceptual
modeling is clearly established.

Organizers:
Pierrette Bouillon (ETI/TIM/ISSCO, University of Geneva, Switzerland)
Laurence Danlos (Université de Paris VII, Paris, France)
Kyoko Kanzaki (National Institute of Information and Communications
Technology,
NICT, Japan)

Date:
May 10-11 2007

Location:
Ministère de la Recherche, Paris, France

Topic:
The aim of GL workshops is to bring together diverse contributions in
philosophy, linguistics, computer science and lexicography to explore
the lexicon from the point of view of generativity. The discussions
will be centered, but are not limited to, the emerging view of
"Generative Lexicon Theory" (Pustejovsky). Topics include:

- Philosophical foundations of a generative approach
- Generative lexicon theory and representation of word meaning
- Analysis of linguistic phenomena in a generative perspective
- Frameworks for lexical semantics
- Philosophical differences between frameworks
- Critical perspectives and evaluation

In this fourth workshop we would like to keep all the above
perspectives, but put more of the focus on building on-line GL
resources for NLP tasks, in particular:

- Arguments and counter-arguments in favour of a GL resource
- Acquiring lexical information: methodology, tools, resources
- Maintaining and evaluating GL resources on systematic grounds
- Scalability for different NLP tasks

Papers 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 resources 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 days. Both posters
and presentations are foreseen and will be published in the
proceedings.  Invited speakers include Alain Polguère, James Pustejovksy 
and Robin Cooper.

Submission procedure: Authors should submit an anonymous paper of at
most 7 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:
kanzaki at nict.go.jp and pierrette.bouillon at issco.unige.ch.

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: 1st of February 2007
Acceptance/rejection notice: End of February 2007
Final version due: April 15th, 2007
Conference: May 10-11, 2007

Third International Conference on Meaning-Text Theory (MTT)
       May 21 - 24, 2007, Klagenfurt, Austria

Call for Papers

The Meaning-Text Theory is a holistic linguistic dependency-based
theory characterized in particular by the central position of the
lexicon, the primacy of semantics, and the importance of the
communicative structure. MTT has been extensively developed over the
last four decades with respect to its coverage of linguistic phenomena
and application in a variety of research fields - among them natural
language processing (in particular text generation) and second
language learning and teaching.

After MTT '03 in Paris and MTT '05 in Moscow, this conference is the
third in a series of conferences which aims at bringing together
researchers working on MTT, other dependency-based linguistic theories
and computational applications that draw upon dependency theories. The
special goal of this conference is to open MTT more to researchers
working in related frameworks.

A social program will be offered before the main conference. After the
main conference, a tutorial on natural language generation in the
framework of MTT is planned.

SUBMISSIONS

We invite submissions on all topics related to MTT and other
grammatical and lexical frameworks that share with MTT the fundamental
principles such as dependency, the primacy of the lexicon,
stratificational nature of the linguistic model, etc.


SUBMISSION FORMAT

Submissions must be in English. They may not exceed 10 pages in length
(including all figures, data, notes, and bibliography) using a 12
point font, printed in one column).  Style files for Word and LaTeX
will be available on the web site of the conference soon. The
submission format must be pdf.

The electronic submission web site will be made known shortly. No
hardcopy or email submissions addressed to the conference organizers
will be accepted.

                  FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
                     CONTEXT'07

The Sixth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on
             Modeling and Using Context

                 August 20-24, 2007
            Roskilde University, Denmark

               Submissions deadlines:
         Full papers:                        March 15, 2007
         Poster and Demonstration abstracts: March 15, 2007

               http://context-07.ruc.dk/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Sixth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling
and Using Context (CONTEXT'07) will provide a forum for presenting and
discussing high-quality research and applications on context. The
conference will include paper and poster presentations, system
demonstrations, workshops, and a doctoral consortium. The conference
invites researchers and practitioners to share insights and
cutting-edge results from a wide range of disciplines including:

     Computer Science, especially
          Artificial Intelligence and Ubiquitous Computing

     Cognitive Science           Linguistics

     Organizational Sciences     Philosophy

     Psychology         

     Application areas such as Medicine and Law

Context affects a wide range of activities in humans and animals as
well as in artificial agents and other systems. The importance of
context is widely acknowledged, and "context" has become an area of
study in its own right, as evidenced by numerous workshops, symposia,
seminars, and conferences on this area. CONTEXT, the oldest conference
series focusing on context, is unique in its emphasis on
interdisciplinary research.  Previous CONTEXT conferences have been
held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (CONTEXT'97), Trento, Italy
(CONTEXT'99, LNCS 1688), Dundee, Scotland (CONTEXT'01, LNCS 2116),
Palo Alto, U.S.A. (CONTEXT'03, LNCS 2680), and Paris, France
(CONTEXT'05, LNCS 3554).

Each of these brought together researchers and practitioners from many
disparate fields to discuss and report on context-related research and
projects.


TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------

The following list illustrates sample research areas whose
perspectives on context are solicited for the conference. This is not
an exhaustive list, and contributions addressing context from other
perspectives are welcome.  The conference scope includes the
contextual issues related to areas such as:

CONFERENCE EVENTS
-----------------

CONTEXT'07 will include paper presentation sessions, a poster and
demonstration session, two days of workshops, and a doctoral
consortium. Workshops and the doctoral consortium will circulate
separate calls for papers and participation, which will also be
available at the conference web site.


ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA AND SUBMISSION CATEGORIES
---------------------------------------------

Because CONTEXT'07 will be an interdisciplinary forum, all submissions
will be evaluated both for their technical merit and for their
accessibility to an interdisciplinary audience. Works that transcend
disciplinary boundaries are especially encouraged.

Submissions may be for full papers, poster abstracts, or demonstration
abstracts. Full papers will be accepted either for oral presentation
or for presentation at a poster session. All accepted full paper
submissions will be published in the proceedings. Accepted posters and
demonstrations will be presented at the poster session, and the
associated abstracts will be published in a brochure distributed to
attendees. For additional details see the conference web site.

For a paper to appear in the proceedings, at least one author must
register for the conference by the deadline for camera-ready copy.


SUBMISSION PROCEDURES
---------------------

Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files. Submissions
cannot exceed 14 pages in the Springer LNAI format. Detailed
formatting and submissions instructions, as well as LaTeX and Word
templates, will be available in the author instructions section of the
conference Web site.

All accepted authors will have the option of presenting a system
demonstration at the poster session. Authors wishing to present a
demonstration without an accompanying paper must submit a
demonstration abstract. Demonstration abstracts should describe
cutting-edge systems not described in paper submissions. Demonstration
abstracts should summarize the system's behavior and significance, and
should include at least one screen shot. If desired, they may also
include the URL of an informal video on the web. Demonstration
abstracts should be at most 2 pages long.

and Washington, DC (2006).  MLMI brings together researchers from the
different communities working on the common theme of advanced machine
learning algorithms applied to multimodal human-human and
human-computer interaction.  The motivation for creating this joint
multi-disciplinary workshop arose from the actual needs of several
large collaborative projects.

MLMI'07 will follow on directly from the annual conference of the
Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL/EACL 2007), which will
take place in Prague on June 25-27, 2007.

Submission of demonstration proposals:  23 March 2007
Acceptance decisions:  17 April 2007
Workshop:  28-30 June 2007


* Workshop topics

MLMI'07 will feature talks (including a number of invited speakers),
posters and demonstrations.  Prospective authors are invited to submit
proposals in the following areas of interest, related to machine
learning and multimodal interaction:

  - human-human communication modeling
  - human-computer interaction modeling
  - speech processing
  - image and video processing
  - multimodal processing, fusion and fission
  - multimodal discourse and dialogue modeling
  - multimodal indexing, structuring and summarization
  - annotation and browsing of multimodal data
  - machine learning algorithms and their applications to the topics above

* Venue

Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic and the capital
of Moravia.  Brno had been a royal city since 1347 and is the
country's judiciary and trade-fair center.  With a population of
almost four hundred thousand and its six universities, Brno is also
the cultural center of the region.

Brno can be easily reached by direct flights from Prague, London and
Munich and by trains or buses from Prague (200 km) or Vienna (130 km).

MLMI'07 will take place at the Hotel Continental
(http://www.continentalbrno.cz), a modern hotel located in a quiet
part of the city within walking distance from the city center.  The
local organizers are members of the Faculty of Information Technology
(http://www.fit.vutbr.cz) at Brno University of Technology, which was
founded in 1899 as the Czech Technological University.

CALL FOR PAPERS

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The CORPUS Journal invites articles on the following topic :
	Interpretation, Contexts, Encoding

NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE (abstract) : November 23rd, 2006
Date of publication of #6 issue : October 2007

3. Submission procedure and important dates


1. Presentation of CORPUS

CORPUS is a journal devoted to corpus linguistics, in all its aspects
: theory, epistemology, methodology, whatever the field of application
or geographic area could be. These different points of view focus on
one main objective : getting a better understanding of the place of
corpora in linguistic research.

Each article is then invited to question the way of building or
exploiting corpora. How can a (good) corpus be defined ? Is there a
set of criteria, or some empirical guidelines, that prove to be
efficient ?  How can the corpus and its analysis be adjusted to each
other ? Can the corpus be appropriately used for several studies ? How
may the corpus be affected by aging ? These questions and others
deserve to be considered carefully, all the more so when having a
great acquaintance with corpus practice.

CORPUS Journal is an international journal, published once a year.
Articles can be written in French or English, and are reviewed by a
scientific commitee.

The diffusion is both paper-based and online (6 months later, free).

ISSN for the paper edition : 1638-9808


2. Introduction to the topic of the #6 issue (2007)

The #6 issue of CORPUS, to be published in 2007, will investigate the
relationships between encoding, interpretation and contexts. In fact,
textual corpora cannot be built or processed without some kind of
INTERPRETATION. Meaning is grounded in CONTEXTS, and ENCODING is the
technical way to express textual, intertextual and contextual
affinities. Such a theme naturally combines theoretical and empirical
considerations.

A possible approach is to consider the interaction between two of the
three components of the topic. For example :

* encoding + interpretation : are encoding and interpretation allied
or ennemies ? Related topics : Subjectivity or objectivity of the
encoding, respect of the form of the text and spirit, overcoding... Is
encoding a nasty job or a crucial scientific task ? Theorically
speaking, encoding may not precede interpretation : how can this be
implemented and taken into account in corpus practice ?

* interpretation + contexts : what kind of effects on meaning and
interpretation do the grouping of texts and the corpus structure
create ? Some text and corpus analysis methods, and textual and
distributional semantics, are based on the contextualisations of
linguistic units : which contextual levels should be considered ?
(phrase, sentence, paragraph, text, text class,...) Which ones are
fully relevant for what kind of corpus analysis ?

* encoding + contexts : What kind of contextual information should be
encoded ? How much do such contextual information determine the
quality of the corpus-based research ? What is the real place given to
contexts in text representations and computational analysis of texts ?


3. Submission procedure and important dates

3. Modalités pratiques


1. Présentation de la revue

La revue CORPUS est consacrée à la linguistique de corpus envisagée
sous tous ses aspects : théoriques, épistémologiques, méthodologiques,
quels que soient le champ disciplinaire et le domaine géolinguistique
d'application. Au fil des numéros il s'agit de développer une
réflexion approfondie sur le rôle des corpus dans les pratiques
linguistiques contemporaines et une analyse réflexive sur les modes de
constitution des différents corpus présentés, ainsi que sur leurs
outils d'exploitation. Par là-même on tente d'expliciter et d'évaluer
les processus heuristiques qui unissent la collecte et la
structuration des données empiriques d'une part et le surgissement ou
la validation de l'hypothèse linguistique d'autre part.

CORPUS est publiée par l'UMR 6039 "Bases, Corpus et Langage" (CNRS &
Université de Nice), à raison d'un numéro chaque année.  C'est une
revue à comités qui dispose de deux supports complémentaires : le
support papier qui reste essentiel, et le support électronique qui met
gratuitement sur le Web, à la disposition de la communauté, les
articles six mois après leur publication papier.

2. Introduction au thème du numéro 6 (à paraître en 2007)

La réflexion sur l'usage de corpus de textes part ici de sa possible
-et nécessaire- INTERPRETATION. Or le sens se déploie en s'appuyant
sur des CONTEXTES structurants, et le CODAGE est l'expression
technique, déterminante, des structures textuelles, intertextuelles,
et contextuelles.

Concrètement, le CODAGE renvoie aux choix d'édition lors de la
réécriture du corpus dans le format adopté pour l'analyse. Dans le cas
d'un format XML par exemple, le codage concerne aussi bien le balisage
de structures textuelles (notamment par découpage et emboîtements,
avec la délimitation de contextes syntagmatiques) que l'enrichissement
par étiquetage (l'assignation de catégories créant complémentairement
des contextes paradigmatiques). A la multiplicité des interprétations
possibles répond le besoin de vues alternatives sur le corpus : par
exemple, les informations enregistrées par le codage pourront être
différentes et se noter différemment, et donc conduire à différentes
éditions électroniques du corpus, selon que l'objectif est
l'archivage, la diffusion, ou le traitement par tel ou tel
logiciel. En matière d'analyse assistée par ordinateur, si la
robustesse des outils d'analyse est certainement pertinente, il serait
dommageable qu'elle dicte un nivellement par le bas de la
structuration des corpus. Car les logiciels d'analyse et d'exploration
textuelle, notamment à visée sémantique, ont tout à gagner à savoir
tirer parti d'un codage riche -ou du moins non appauvri-, donnant
véritablement accès aux informations de contextualisation de tous
ordres. Reste à trouver un équilibre vertueux, pour éviter des codages
excessifs, trop lourds, ingérables, et étouffant l'interprétation au
lieu de la rendre accessible et de la susciter.

L'INTERPRETATION est présente à toutes les étapes du travail sur
corpus.  Interprétation "a priori" au moment de la constitution du
corpus, et avec la conception des opérations d'analyse à pratiquer ;
interprétation "a posteriori" pour l'exploitation des résultats
produits. Mais la pratique interprétative procède par retours et
ajustements, elle n'échappe pas au cercle herméneutique : ainsi, la
lecture des résultats motive(rait) très naturellement une reprise du
codage et une réorientation des traitements. La Text Encoding
Initiative (1) prévoit à juste raison un commentaire du codage, livré
avec le corpus (rubrique tagUsage), comme du contexte du codage
(rubrique projectDesc) : une telle explicitation des conventions de
sens et du mode d'usage des balises dans le contexte du corpus est
éminemment importante pour toute exploitation et réexploitation du
corpus, en d'autres temps ou d'autres lieux, y compris par ses
éditeurs, mais aussi au moment même du codage !  L'annotation des
corpus semble questionner encore plus directement l'alliance entre
codage et interprétation : peut-on établir une typologie des
annotations, et ce à tous les paliers de contexte ? A l'image d'un
cheminement interprétatif, l'annotation peut-elle, voire doit-elle,
être dynamique (c'est-à-dire ajoutée, rectifiée, oubliée...) ?
doit-elle être partagée et sédimentée - mais avec quels contextes pour
limiter gêne mutuelle des séries d'annotations et surcharge
artificielle, inhumaine, de la lecture ?

Quelquefois précisée par la distinction entre contexte et co-texte, la
réflexion sur le CONTEXTE dans son lien au codage et à
l'interprétation des corpus pourrait ici se centrer sur les structures
syntagmatiques (qui découpent, emboîtent) et paradigmatiques (qui
mettent en lien), dans un texte et entre des textes. Cette option
n'est pas si restrictive qu'il y paraît : Rastier (2) montre que les
réalités externes en prise avec le texte (l'auteur, le monde, le
lecteur - les "pôles extrinsèques") s'y retrouvent par leur empreinte
dans le matériau linguistique et textuel ("pôles intrinsèques"),
notamment via le genre du texte. Peut-être aussi la question du
contexte rejoint-elle directement celle, fondamentale, de la bonne
constitution du corpus : les critères de clôture ou de réflexivité (3)
par exemple ne visent-ils pas la recherche d'une contextualisation
globale, sémantiquement stable, nécessaire et suffisante, déterminante
? Complémentairement, les techniques d'analyse de corpus dessinent
également des contextualisations glissantes, mouvantes : qu'est-ce
qu'un passage, et faut-il le coder ? L'observation des affinités et
des attirances lexicales par des calculs de cooccurrences suppose la
délimitation de contextes : l'environnement d'un mot, sa spère
d'influence, son rayonnement, se laissent-t-ils délimiter ?
uniformément ? de façon unique ? Pour autant, comment garder sa
consistance pratique et significative à la notion de contexte ?

Il est suggestif d'articuler deux à deux les trois pôles du thème,
pour retrouver des terrains de recherche actifs, correspondant à des
perspectives d'analyse complémentaires :

- codage + interprétation : codage et interprétation sont-ils alliés
ou ennemis ? subjectivité/objectivité, respect du texte, sur-codage,
pratique de tâcheron ou travail scientifique déterminant... Si, en
théorie, le codage ne saurait précéder l'interprétation, comment en
rendre compte en pratique ? Par exemple, en cas de d'hésitation ou de
désaccord au moment du codage, la multi-annotation apporte-t-elle une
solution en reportant l'arrêt d'une interprétation, voire en
permettant d'évaluer statistiquement, par le calcul, chaque
possibilité interprétative ? Réciproquement, à quelles conditions, et
dans quelle mesure, le codage peut-il concourir à la transmission
d'une interprétation ?

- interprétation + contextes : effets interprétatifs (parfois
sous-estimés ou ignorés) liés à la réunion des textes et à la
délimitation de collections, à la structuration du corpus et à la
génération possible d'éditions (ou "vues") partielles ou diversement
présentées et organisées ; méthodes d'analyse et de parcours des
corpus (textes et intertexte), sémantique interprétative fondée sur la
contextualisation d'unités linguistiques et textuelles de tous
ordres...

- codage + contextes : pourquoi et comment pratiquer la linguistique
de corpus, par opposition à une linguistique sur exemples ponctuels ?
La constitution, le codage (y compris minimal) et l'exploitation d'un
corpus imposent des choix concrets de structuration des données
textuelles. Quelles informations de contextualisation exprimer ?
Ont-elles une forte incidence sur la qualité de la recherche ? A
contrario, l'importance des contextes dans les modélisations usuelles
pour les textes et les traitements est peut-être encore souvent
incomplètement perçue.

Dans l'esprit de la revue CORPUS, ce thème invite à une réflexion
clairement pratique et théorique. L'étude des mécanismes
interprétatifs, de l'existence et de la nature des contextes, de la
modélisation des textes, se nourrissent maintenant des pratiques et
des observations rendues possibles par la numérisation et l'édition
électronique.  Réciproquement, la fréquentation des corpus et les
savoir-faire développés dans des expériences bien concrètes appellent
une prise de recul, une relecture synthétique, pour en mieux saisir la
valeur.

JOURNEES D'ETUDE COMET :
COMMUNICATION ET TRAVAIL

COMMUNICATION, TRAVAIL & SHS :
QUELLES RENCONTRES POSSIBLES ?

Toulouse, les 28 et 29 juin 2007

Journées d'étude interdisciplinaires

Organisées par un collectif de doctorants et jeunes chercheurs de
trois laboratoires :
- de linguistique (ERSS : Equipe de Recherche en Syntaxe et
  Sémantique)
- de sociologie (CERTOP : Centre d'Etude et de Recherche Travail
  Organisation Pouvoir)
- de psychologie cognitive et ergonomique (LTC : Laboratoire Travail
  et Cognition)


Le champ des relations entre travail et communication a été
considérablement renouvelé lors de ces dernières années notamment dans
le cadre du réseau Langage et Travail. Ces recherches à vocation
pluridisciplinaires ont donné lieu à diverses manifestations et
publications comme en témoignent entre autres l'ouvrage « Langage et
travail : communication, cognition, action » coordonné par A. Borzeix
et B. Fraenkel ou encore le 1er Symposium international « Artefacts &
Collectifs : Action située & théories de l'activité », qui s'est tenu
à Lyon en juillet 2005.

Les journées COMeT sont destinées aux doctorants et "jeunes
chercheurs" de tout horizon des sciences humaines et sociales
(sociologie, linguistique, psychologie cognitive et ergonomique
...). Un des enjeux de ces journées est de confronter une variété de
niveaux d'analyses, d'approches méthodologiques et d'objectifs
disciplinaires pour apporter des éléments de réponse à la double
problématique de l'influence du travail sur les communications et de
l'influence de la communication sur le travail. Plus précisément, nous
chercherons dans ces journées non seulement à comprendre comment « la
communication », et les différents facteurs qui la définissent
(canaux, nature du message, modalités de circulation...), influencent
les situations de travail.  Mais aussi, de façon symétrique, comment
les « situations de travail » (cadre matériel, organisation,
activité...) agissent comme contraintes, ressources et fondement même
de la communication.

Pour appréhender cette question, les contributions pourront prendre la
forme de travaux empiriques exposant des résultats d'une étude
récente, ou la forme de discussions plus théoriques. Dans tous les cas
les contributions devront rester ancrées dans une démarche
empirique. Le but de ces journées d'études étant de comprendre comment
la question de la communication au travail peut nourrir des recherches
sur des terrains très variés.

Plusieurs thèmes et objets pourront être abordés autour de la question des
relations entre travail et communication, tels que (liste non
exhaustive) :

-	Les fonctions de la communication (ex. : coordination, négociation,
encadrement, prescription, représentation, distribution, hiérarchisation) ;
-	Les dysfonctionnements de la communication (ex. : ambiguïtés,
incompréhensions) ;
-	Les modes d'interaction (ex. : homme-homme, homme-machine, médiatisé,
face à face, distant, synchrone, asynchrone) ;
-	L'organisation au/du travail, le pouvoir au travail, la communication
au sein de groupes de travail ;
-	La communication efficace : quelles stratégies dans l'entreprise ?
-	Les performativités du langage au travail ;
-	Les registres de langage au travail (ex. : fonctionnel, civique,
ordinaire, conflictuel) ;
-	La relation entre le prescrit et le réel dans la communication (la
norme vs. l'usage) ;
-	L'existence d'un lien entre types de communication et types de travail
;
-	Le rôle de l'expérience dans la communication au travail (ex. :
acquisition des compétences, apprentissage, communication entre experts, ou
entre experts et novices) ;
-	Les méthodes de production, la gestion, l'exploitation et le traitement
des documents pertinents dans l'étude des relations entre langage et travail
(ex. : données sonores, écrites, visuelles, virtuelles) ;
-	Quelles analyses, quelles méthodologies et quels outils originaux
peuvent permettre d'enrichir nos connaissances sur le fonctionnement des
discours au travail, et dépasser certaines contraintes (ex. dans l'accès aux
données et leur recueil) ?

Call for Papers

 

12th International Conference on

Applications of Natural Language to Information Systems

NLDB'07

June 27-29, 2007, CNAM, Paris, France

(www.nldb.org)
 

Since 1995, the NLDB conference has aimed at bringing together
researchers, industrials and potential users interested in various
applications of Natural Language in the Database and Information
System area. Natural Language Processing has become an important
factor in the field of Information and Communication systems in the
last years. It has contributed to both improving the development
process from the viewpoints of the developers (e.g. the process of
requirements engineering, conceptual modeling, validation etc.) and
the usability of applications (e.g. natural language query interfaces,
retrieval, semantic web etc.) To underline these inspiring
connections, NLDB 2007 will take place from June 27 to June 29 in
Paris (France).

              Second Call For Papers for the Workshop on

    Interfaces of Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Learning
                            (IICALL 2006)

                      http://purl.org/net/iicall

        Preceded by Three Pre-Workshop Courses, December 14-16
         Department of Linguistics, The Ohio State University


                   SUBMISSION DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 20


Research  in  Intelligent  Computer-Aided  Language  Learning  (ICALL)
integrates natural language  processing into a computer-aided language
learning environment.  For such  research to be innovative, successful
and  sustainable, it  arguably needs  to combine  linguistic modeling,
second language acquisition  research (learner and activity modeling),
and pedagogical  insights from foreign  language teaching (instruction
modeling) with representations and computational linguistic algorithms
capable of integrating the information from these models.

The  current state of  the art  in the  various relevant  fields seems
favorable  for interdisciplinary  ICALL  research.  Complementing  the
focus on communication and  culture in foreign language teaching since
the  60s,  second language  acquisition  research  since  the 90s  has
clearly established  that awareness of language  categories, forms and
rules---and  thus linguistic  modeling  and the  processing needed  to
identify  those  properties---is important  for  an  adult learner  to
successfully  acquire a  foreign  language.  At  the  same time,  most
research  groups  currently  lack the  interdisciplinary  orientation,
background, or ties  needed to develop and combine  the linguistic and
learner/cognitive  modeling  with  computational  processing,  and  to
develop  and test intelligent  tutoring systems  as part  of real-life
language teaching.

The  IICALL workshop  and  the pre-workshop  courses  are intended  to
foster exchange and in-depth discussion of these interfaces of ICALL.


--- PRE-WORKSHOP COURSES ---

The courses on Dec 14-16 will  be held by three leading researchers in
the area of ICALL and its interfaces:

- Kathleen McCoy (U. Delaware), on NLP and Learner Modeling for ICALL

- Susan Bull (U. Birmingham), on Open Learner Models

- Eckhard Bick  (VISL, Southern  Denmark U.), on  ICALL in  support of
  Language Awareness


--- WORKSHOP ---

The  workshop on  Dec 17  will consist  of 20+8  minute presentations,
selected from the submitted abstracts.

You  are  invited to  submit  one-page  abstracts describing  research
related to ICALL. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

   . Learner and/or instruction models for ICALL
   . ICALL tools to promote language awareness
   . Activity design for ICALL systems
   . Transferability of SLA research results to an ICALL setting
   . ICALL to collect data for SLA research
   . Evaluation of ICALL tools in foreign language teaching settings
   . Integration of ICALL into foreign language teaching curricula
   . ICALL system architecture
   . Re-use of NLP resources for ICALL
   . NLP techniques for ICALL
   . Feedback generation in ICALL
  
Discussions of work  in progress are welcome -  PhD students and other
young researchers are particularly encouraged to submit their work.

- Format: one page abstract (plus references/figures)

- Submit the abstract in PDF format to both of the organizers: 
      Luiz Amaral <amaral.1 at osu.edu>
      Detmar Meurers <meurers.1 at osu.edu>

- Deadline for submissions:   Monday, November 20
- Notification of acceptance: Friday, November 24
- Workshop takes place on:    Sunday, December 17


The event will  be held at the Ohio  State University, Columbus, Ohio.
Participation in the workshop and the pre-workshop courses is free.

We  are grateful  to  the Ohio  State  College of  Humanities and  the
Department  of Linguistics  for financial  support under  the Targeted
Investment in  Excellence initiative for  the Cross-disciplinary study
of Language.

Les editions Lambert-Lucas annoncent la creation de la collection
ARCHIVES DE LA LANGUE DES SIGNES FRANCAISE sous la direction
scientifique de Francoise Bonnal-Verges, chargee de cours a Paris-8,
dont la these de doctorat (a paraitre) est consacree au domaine. La
plupart des titres annonces sont des manuscrits anciens restes inedits
ou des imprimes du XIXe siecle devenus introuvables.

Les plus recents travaux de semiologie et d'etymologie des signes
montrent que la LSF est un terrain encore largement inexplore a la
croisee des sciences cognitives et des sciences du langage. La LSF est
a l'origine de nombreuses autres langues des signes (dont
l'Americaine). Surtout, elle est de creation a la fois
institutionnelle et recente, ce qui met a portee de l'observation
scientifique le "grand Legislateur" evoque par Platon dans le Cratyle.

Trois titres viennent de paraitre (textes etablis, presentes et
annotes par Francoise Bonnal-Verges) :

*********************************************************************

CALL FOR PAPERS

STUDENT RESEARCH WORKSHOP at ACL-07

June 25th-27th, 2007

Prague, Czech Republic

Submission deadline: January 23, 2007

*********************************************************************

 

1. General Invitation for Submissions

 

The Student Research Workshop is an established tradition at ACL
conferences. The workshop provides a venue for student researchers
investigating topics in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language
Processing to present their work and to receive feedback both from the
general audience and from selected panelists - experienced researchers
who prepare in-depth comments and questions in advance of the
presentation.

 

We invite all student researchers to submit their work to the
workshop. As the main goal of the workshop is to provide feedback, the
emphasis is on work in progress. Original and unpublished research is
therefore invited on all aspects of computational linguistics
including, but not limited to, the following topic areas:

 

. pragmatics and discourse

. semantics and lexicons

. syntax and grammars

. phonetics, phonology, and morphology

. linguistic, mathematical, and psychological models of language

. information retrieval, information extraction, and question
  answering

. summarization and paraphrasing

. speech recognition and speech synthesis

. corpus-based language modeling

. multi-lingual processing, machine translation, and translation aids

. spoken and written natural language interfaces and dialogue systems

. multi-modal language processing and multimedia systems

. narrative understanding systems

 

The main conference also features tutorials, workshops, and
demos. More information on these can be found at the main ACL-07 page,
http://www.acl2007.org/.

 

2. Submission Requirements

 

The emphasis of the workshop is to provide beginner researchers with
the opportunity of presenting their work in a formal
setting. Submission will therefore normally be open only to students
who have settled on their thesis direction but who still have
significant research left to do; those students in the final stages of
their thesis and those who have already presented at an ACL/EACL/NAACL
Student Research Workshop should submit to the main conference
instead.

 

The papers should describe original work, still in progress. Papers
should clearly indicate directions for future research wherever
appropriate. The papers may have more than one author; however, all
authors MUST be students (graduate or undergraduate). Papers submitted
are eligible only if they have not been presented at any other meeting
with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being
submitted in parallel to other conferences or workshops must indicate
this on the submission page.

 

3. Submission Procedure

 

Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and
should not exceed six (6) pages, including references. We strongly
recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word Style
files tailored for this year's conference. These will be available
from the web pages of ACL-07. A description of the format is also
available in case you are unable to use these style files
directly. Submission must be electronic. The only accepted format for
submitted papers is Adobe PDF. More details regarding the submission
procedure will be posted on the workshop website.

 

4. Reviewing Procedure

 

Reviewing of papers submitted to the Student Workshop will be managed
by the Student Workshop Co-Chairs, with the assistance of a team of
reviewers. Each submission will be matched with a mixed panel of
student and senior researchers for review. The final acceptance
decision will be based on the results of the review.

 

Note that reviewing of papers will be blind; therefore, please make
sure your paper shows the title, but no author information. You should
likewise not have any self-identifying references anywhere in the
paper submitted for review. For example, rather than this: "We showed
previously (Smith, 2001), ...", use citations such as: "Smith (2001)
previously showed ...".

 

5. Schedule

 

The papers must be submitted no later than 5pm US Eastern time January
23, 2007 (10pm GMT January 23, 2007). Late submissions will be
automatically disqualified. Acknowledgment will be e-mailed soon after
receipt.  Notification of acceptance will be sent to authors (by
e-mail) on March 23, 2007. Detailed formatting guidelines for the
preparation of the final camera-ready copy will be provided to authors
with their acceptance notice.

 

Important Dates:

 

Paper submission deadline: January 23, 2007

Notification of acceptance: March 23, 2007

Camera ready papers due: April 27, 2007

Conference date: June 25-27, 2007

 

6. Travel Grants

 

Some funding will be available for students whose work is accepted to
the Student Research Workshop. For more information about travel
grants, please contact the Co-Chairs of the Student Research Workshop.

 

7. Contact Information

 

If you need to contact the Co-Chairs of the Student Research Workshop,

*** About NEOLOGOS ***

NEOLOGOS, a project funded by the French government within the
Technolangue programme aimed at designing speech resources for the
development and the assessment of French speech recognition and speech
synthesis systems: the PAIDIALOGOS AND IDIOLOGOS databases.

PAIDIALOGOS is the result of a collection of French child and teenage
voices, aged 7 to 17, equally divided into boys and girls, and
representative of the different regions in France.
350 speakers were recorded over the GSM telephone network and 650 over
the fixed telephone network.

IDIOLOGOS tried to optimize the database contents in terms of
diversity of the recorded voices, while reducing the number of
recorded speakers.  Its goal was to build a reference database for
French adult voices.

A description of the project is available at:
 http://www.technolangue.net/article.php3?id_article=83
 <http://www.technolangue.net/article.php3?id_article=203>(in French
 only).

 

*** About Technolangue ***

Technolangue is a French inter-ministerial-funded action (Ministry of
Research and New Technologies, Ministry of Industry and Ministry of
Culture and Communication). This programme provides access to a number
of tools and data necessary to develop technologies and to enable the
use of standard methodologies in the field.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONTEXT 07 Workshops:

CONTEXT 07 invites proposals for the workshop program. Workshops will
be held on August 20-21 immediately prior to the main program of the
conference.


GENERAL INFORMATION

The main goal of the CONTEXT 07 workshops is to stimulate and
facilitate an active exchange on unique and interdisciplinary
applications, ideas, approaches, and methods about specific topics in
the general area of Modeling and Using Context. The Workshops provide
a setting that fosters informal discussion and active engagement among
attendees. Researchers from all disciplines are invited to submit
proposals for workshop for review. Workshops on specific relevant
aspects of broader topics and newly evolving areas of Context are
particularly encouraged.

Workshops in general will be one full day in duration, exceptionally
lasting half a day or two days. Format and content of each workshop
will largely be determined by each workshop's organizing
committee. Proposals for "mini-conference" style workshops are
discouraged and ample time should be allotted for general
discussion. Workshop organizers and attendees must register for the
main CONTEXT 07 conference!

For presenting workshop summaries to all conference attendees, a time
slot of about 10 minutes each will be provided in coordination with
the main conference's regular sessions. These summaries should be
presented by at least one of the workshop's organizers.


SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS

To propose a workshop for CONTEXT 07, you will submit a full proposal
of at most 5 pages containing the following information:

 * The proposed title of the workshop;
 * A brief description of the technical issues the workshop addresses;
 * A brief discussion on target audience and relevance to CONTEXT 07;
 * A preliminary workshop agenda/schedule, including desired duration;
 * A description of the intended workshop format and style;
 * A description of paper review process and acceptance standards;
 * Potential program committee members, including their affiliations;
 * Number of expected and, if available, a list of interested attendees;
 * Intended means of advertising the workshop;
 * Related workshops recently held, with description and location;
 * Contact information, including the names, postal addresses, phone
   numbers, and email addresses of the proposed workshop organizing
   committee. The committee should consist of three or four people
   knowledgeable about the technical issues to be addressed and,
   ideally, not being from the same institution;
 * Brief notes on each member of the organizing committee and their
   recent work relating to the technical issues addressed.

All proposals should be submitted by electronic mail to the CONTEXT 07
workshop chair as PDF file as soon as possible but no later than
January 31, 2007 at:

  context07 at workshop.hm

Proposals will be reviewed by the program committee and prospective
organizers will be notified of their decision no later than February
15, 2006.


RESPONSIBILITIES OF CONTEXT 07 AND WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS

For all accepted proposals, CONTEXT 07 will be responsible for:

 * Providing a meeting place for the workshop;
 * Determining the workshop date and time;
 * Duplicating working notes.

Workshop organizers will be responsible for the following:

 * Setting up a web site for the workshop;
 * Advertising the workshop and issuing a call for papers/participation;
 * Review and select presentations and papers;
 * Providing the complete workshop's working notes as single PDF file;
 * Ensure registration of workshop organizers and participants to the
   main conference;
 * Arrange for special requirements with the CONTEXT 07 Workshop Chair
   no later than July 18, 2007.

The workshop's call for papers should clarify the process by which the
organizing committee will review and select the papers and
presentations for being accepted. Additionally, the procedure, form,
and dates for submissions should be included. It is recommended to
adopt the deadlines for submissions and notifications from the list of
important dates as given below.

CONTEXT 07 reserves the right to cancel any workshop if the above
responsibilities are not fulfilled, or if too few attendees register
for the workshop. In special cases, the CONTEXT 07 program committee
may suggest the consolidation of workshops, to prevent the need for
cancellation.

The decision on the acceptance of workshops to be included in the
final CONTEXT 07 program will be based upon multiple factors, among
others, scientific and/or technical interest of the topic, the
proposal's quality, distinctness and balance of the workshop's topics,
and the capacity of the conference workshop program.

==================================================================

         CALL FOR PAPERS

         ESWC 2007
         4th European Semantic Web Conference

         3 - 7 June 2007
         Innsbruck (Austria)

The vision of the Semantic Web is to enhance today's web via the
exploitation of machine-processable meta data. The explicit
representation of the semantics of data, enriched with domain theories
(Ontologies), will enable a web that provides a qualitatively new
level of service. It will weave together a large network of human
knowledge and makes this knowledge machine-processable.  Various
automated services will help the users to achieve their goals by
accessing and processing information in machine-understandable
form. This network of knowledge systems will ultimately lead to truly
intelligent systems, which will be employed for various specialized
reasoning subsystems to accomplish complex tasks. Many technologies
and methodologies are being developed within Artificial Intelligence,
Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, Databases, Multimedia
Systems, Distributed Systems, Software Engineering and Information
Systems that can contribute towards the realization of this vision.

The 4th Annual European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2007) will
present the latest results in research and application of Semantic Web
technologies, including knowledge mark-up languages, Semantic Web
services, and ontology management. ESWC 2007 will also feature a
special industry-oriented event, a forum for gaining a better
understanding of these new technologies and their business
aspects. The conference will offer a tutorial program to get up to
speed with European and global developments in this exciting new area.

Several distinguished scientists will give an invited talk at the
conference; among them, prof. Stefano Ceri (Tech. Univ. of Milan,
Italy), prof. Georg Gottlob (Oxford Univ., UK), prof. Ning Zhong
(Maebashi Institute of Technology, Japan).

ESWC 2007 is sponsored by ESSI - a group of European Commission 6th
Framework Programme projects. Together these projects aim to improve
world-wide research and standardisation in the area of the Semantic
Web. For more information on ESSI, please visit www.essi-cluster.org.


Submissions

ESWC 2007 welcomes the submission of excellent original research and
application papers dealing with all aspects of the Semantic Web,
particularly those related to the subject areas indicated by the
topics below. We particularly encourage the submission of papers on
industrial efforts and experiences with Semantic Web projects. We
encourage theoretical, methodological, empirical, and applications
papers.

The proceedings of this conference will be published in Springer's
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Paper submission and
reviewing for ESWC 2007 will be electronic, via the conference Web
site: http://www.eswc2007.org/.  Papers, due 15 December, 2006, should
not exceed fifteen (15) pages in Springer LNCS format.

First call for papers
2007 NooJ Conference
Deadline: March 2, 2007

CALL

We invite the submission of papers for the forthcoming NooJ
conference, to be held in Barcelona, Spain, June 7 - 9 2007 at the
Universidad Autònoma de Barcelona.

NooJ is a linguistic development environment that includes tools to
construct and maintain large-coverage lexical resources, morphological
and syntactic grammars. Dictionaries and grammars are applied to texts
in order to locate morphological, lexical and syntactic patterns,
remove ambiguities, tag words, extract semantic entities, perform
automatic Machine Translation, etc.

NooJ can build lemmatized concordances of large texts from
Finite-State Automata and Transducers, Context-Free grammars and
Recursive Transition Networks, and can accordingly perform
transformation operations on texts in cascade to recusively annotate
texts, which gives it the power of a Turing machine.

NooJ is based on the Object Oriented "Component Programming" .NET
framework. Its most exclusive characteristics are:

-- NooJ's linguistic engine uses an annotation system synchronized to
the text, that allows morphological, syntactic and semantic grammars
to be applied to texts without modifying the original text; this
allows linguists to describe various phenomena independantly, and
apply the corresponding grammars in cascade;


-- its integration of its inflection & derivation engine into its
syntactic engine allows linguists to program Harris-type
transformations.

NooJ includes processes texts and corpora in over 100+ file formats,
including all variants of UNICODE, ASCII, HTML, MS-OFFICE, etc. ; its
linguistic engine is multilingual ; it can import information from,
and export its annotations back to XML documents ; NooJ command-line
program and direct Object Oriented API make it much easier to
integrate any of its functionalities into other applications, etc.

NooJ is used as a linguistic development platform, an information
retrieval system, a terminological extractor, as well as to teach
linguistics and computational linguistics.

To learn more about NooJ: www.nooj4nlp.net.

As in previous INTEX/NooJ conferences, this meeting will be the
opportunity for NooJ users, as well as other researchers interested in
NLP, to meet and to exchange their experience of development, research
or teaching, including computational morphology, lexicon and
quantitative linguistics. It will also be the occasion to present and
discover the recent developments of NooJ.

To submit a paper, please send a one-page abstract before March 2,
2007 to lab.flexsem at uab.es. The abstract, in French or in English,
should contain the title of the article, the name, institution,
surface mail and electronic address of each co-author.

All papers will be reviewed by the program committee. Authors will be
notified whether their papers are accepted or rejected end of april,
2007. The timeslot is 30 minutes for presentations, including 5
minutes for discussions.

Bonjour à tous,

J'ai le plaisir de vous inviter à ma soutenance de thèse, qui aura
lieu le vendredi 24 novembre 2006 à 10h (amphi. A002, Université de
Technologie de Troyes), ainsi qu'au pot qui suivra la présentation.

l'annotation de documents numériques -

Résumé : 

Suite au projet CNRS/ PI-TCAN Mediannote, centré sur les activités
coopératives en conception mécanique, le projet Mediannote, dans
lequel s'inscrivent nos travaux, se concentre sur l'annotation dans
ces activités. Dans un contexte où les échanges médiatisés
s'accroissent, le document numérique devient central. Pour soutenir
les échanges et la construction d'une interprétation collective autour
de ce document, nous proposons d'instrumenter l'annotation - définie
comme un fragment de discours à propos d'un texte, un support à
l'argumentation -. Nous proposons donc de concevoir un collecticiel
pour annoter collectivement des documents numériques et ainsi soutenir
l'herméneutique numérique.

L'annotation comme support au travail coopératif est envisagée à la
fois comme un objet qui relève de l'étiquette et du commentaire et
comme une activité qui relève de la communication, de l'indexation et
de l'élaboration de discours. La conception de notre collecticiel se
fonde sur un modèle d'activité d'annotation qui souligne la dimension
interactionnelle et coopérative de l'annotation. Cette démarche guidée
par les modèles est enrichie par l'utilisation de corpus qui permet de
conserver l'utilisateur final au centre de nos préoccupations. Nous
présentons une maquette du collecticiel, AnT&CoW, utilisant des outils
de TAL pour le soutien de l'utilisateur à différents niveaux : soutien
à la construction de classification et aide à l'indexation. Une
première étape d'évaluation de cette maquette est également présentée,
une validation des fonctionnalités.

Résumé :

Les ressources lexico-sémantiques, telles que les thésaurus, les
terminologies ou les ontologies, visent à organiser les connaissances
en rendant explicites divers types de relations sémantiques comme la
synonymie ou la spécialisation. Le coût de la construction manuelle de
telles ressources reste élevé, ce qui explique l'essor des méthodes
d'acquisition automatique de connaissances, allant de l'extraction des
termes représentant les unités de connaissance à l'identification des
relations sémantiques qui les relient. Nous nous intéressons dans
cette thèse au rôle que peut jouer la morphologie, c'est-à-dire la
structure interne des mots, pour l'acquisition de telles connaissances
à partir de corpus de textes de spécialité, essentiellement médicaux,
et dans une perspective multilingue.

Nous présentons deux systèmes d'acquisition de connaissances
morphologiques non supervisés, caractérisés par des approches
différentes. Le premier procède par segmentation des mots, tandis que
le second regroupe les mots dans des familles morphologiques.

Nous explorons ensuite les utilisations possibles de ce type
d'informations pour l'acquisition de termes et de relations
sémantiques.  Nous proposons notamment une méthode de pondération et
de visualisation des mots clés extraits de corpus de textes de
spécialité en fonction de leur famille morphologique. Nous définissons
également des schémas, basés sur les résultats de la segmentation
morphologique, afin de découvrir des relations sémantiques telles que
la spécialisation et la cohyponymie.

Résumé :

Cette thèse se fixe l'objectif de décrire le discours philosophique à
travers les propriétés de ses textes. Le discours est entendu comme
une norme déterminant l'organisation au palier textuel de tous les
niveaux de la description. Les corrélations entre ces niveaux sont
analysées à partir d'un corpus constitué autour de Gilles Deleuze et
annoté à plusieurs niveaux de description (morphologique,
morphosyntaxique, lexical et éditorial notamment). L'accès à la
complexité empirique du corpus permet de montrer l'importance des
normes discursives aussi bien au niveau morphologique qu'à celui des
macro-structures sémantiques. Il permet de caractériser une textualité
philosophique « mixte », relevant des catégories descriptives des
discours littéraires comme des discours techniques. L'influence des
normes idiolectales et leur interaction avec la normativité discursive
sont également examinées. Le cadre théorique d'une linguistique des
normes et le cadre méthodologique des linguistiques de corpus
permettent donc de faire du discours philosophique un observable et de
discuter en retour les critères typologiques qui n'en tiendraient pas
compte.

Résumé:

En l'espace d'une grosse décennie, le domaine du traitement
automatique des langues (TAL) s'est trouvé profondément transformé par
la (re)découverte et la diffusion de méthodes dites "à base de
corpus". En appliquant des modèles statistiques de plus en plus
sophistiqués à des corpus de plus en plus volumineux, il est apparu
que l'on pouvait bâtir des outils de traitement efficaces, répondant à
une très large gamme de problèmes, notamment des problèmes de
désambuiguïsation.  Au compte de ces méthodes, en particulier, leur
capacité à se passer de toute représentation explicite de
connaissances linguistiques, les rendant à même de traiter des corpus
issus de domaines, de genres, de registres, voire de langues très
variés.

Un rapide survol historique de cette évolution, illustré par des
exemples d'applications empruntés au domaine de la fouille de textes,
permettra de relever un certain nombre de principes communs à ces
outils, mais également de souligner des difficultés et des travers
qu'ils partagent: obligation de reformuler des problèmes comme des
problèmes de décision, difficultés liées à l'estimation en très grande
dimension en présence de bruit et de données éparses, etc.

Par contraste, l'apprentissage par analogie est une méthode
d'apprentissage symbolique qui cherche à exploiter le caractère
systématique des oppositions formelles observées dans certains types
de données linguistiques. La validité de cette démarche s'appuie sur
des arguments aussi bien linguistiques qu'empiriques, qui répondent en
partie aux objections adressées aux modélisations statistiques.

En présentant mon interprétation de l'apprentissage par analogie, je
montrerai qu'en partant d'une définition générale de la notion
d'opposition formelle envisagé comme un rapport de proportion, il est
possible de dériver des algorithmes efficaces pour calculer et
résoudre des proportions analogiques, donnant lieu à un mécanisme
générique d'apprentissage par analogie. Ce mécanisme sera illustré par
des expériences conduites sur diverses tâches d'acquisition de
régularités lexicales. Je discuterai enfin, dans ma conclusion, des
perspectives ouvertes par ces travaux.

J'ai le plaisir de vous inviter à la soutenance de ma thèse qui aura
lieu le jeudi 7 décembre à 9h30 en salle des Professeurs à
l'Université de Provence.

Titre:
Eléments de grammaire du français pour une théorie descriptive et  
formelle de la langue

Rapporteurs:
Jean-Yves Morin, Professeur, Université du Québec à Montréal
Sylvain Kahane, Professeur, MoDyCo / Université Paris X

Examinateurs:
Henri-José Deulofeu, Professeur, DeLIC / Université de Provence
Christian Retoré, Professeur, LaBRI / Université Bordeaux 1
Eric Wehrli, Professeur, LATL / Université de Genève

Directeur:
Philippe Blache, Directeur de recherches, LPL / Université de Provence

Résumé:

Nous proposons un modèle de grammaire basé sur une théorie originale
de la langue, et représenté formellement. Cette thèse s'articule en
trois parties.
Dans la première partie nous dressons un bilan des positions  
théoriques sous-jacentes à un certain nombre de grammaires formelles  
coexistantes, afin de faire ressortir quatre éléments dont la  
conjonction fait de notre proposition une approche nouvelle: le non- 
générativisme, la non-modularité, la non-lexicalisation et la multi- 
dimensionnalité. Nous présentons ensuite le formalisme des Grammaires  
de Propriétés (GP), que nous avons utilisé pour représenter notre  
grammaire. A la suite de cela nous introduisons notre modèle de  
grammaire, basé sur les choix théoriques précédents et formalisé en  
GP, et nous proposons quelques formalisations d'autres modèles afin  
d'illustrer les possibilités de GP et l'originalité de notre modèle.
Dans la seconde partie nous proposons un ensemble de descriptions  
syntaxiques du français basées sur notre modèle et constituant un  
noyau de grammaire; nous y présentons notamment les constructions  
nominales, verbales, adjectivales, propositionnelles, ainsi que les  
entassements paradigmatiques (coordinations et disfluences).
Enfin, dans la troisième partie nous illustrons le fonctionnement  
notre proposition avec l'analyse de quelques phénomènes syntaxiques,  
dont notamment le traitement des pronoms clitiques dans les  
constructions verbales, et celui des coordinations et des disfluences.
Ce travail apporte à toute une partie de la linguistique descriptive  
une validation par son expression formelle, et à la linguistique  
formelle l'intégration de descriptions syntaxiques jusqu'ici non  
encore prises en considération. En outre, elle apporte une validation  
de GP en tant que formalisme linguistique en montrant ce qu'il permet  
par sa souplesse de représentation.

La soutenance sera suivie d'un apéritif-festâtoire, qui se déroulera  
selon toute probabilité juste devant la salle sus-citée (ou dans le  
patio devant le théâtre Vitez s'il fait particulièrement beau).

Bonjour à tous,

J'ai le plaisir de vous annoncer et de vous inviter (pour ceux qui
seront dans le coin) à ma soutenance de thèse qui aura lieu le 1er
décembre 2006 à l'Université de Provence salle C212 à partir de
14h. Comme toute soutenance de thèse qui se respecte, elle sera suivi
d'un pot.

Titre
Description morphosyntaxique du mot quand en français contemporain

Résumé

Notre étude vient combler une lacune en linguistique française,
puisque le mot quand n'a jamais fait l'objet d'une description
syntaxique spécifique, contrairement à d'autres mots de la famille
qu-. Pourtant, même sur des exemples considérés comme prototypiques de
la "subordination", des questions intéressantes liées à l'analyse de
son statut syntaxique ou catégoriel subsistent. Il suffit de consulter
quelques grammaires pour se rendre compte de la diversité des
traitements proposés et de la large palette d'emplois qu'offre cette
"conjonction". Afin de décrire l'ensemble de ses fonctionnements, nous
avons opté pour une étude sur des exemples tirés de vastes corpus
écrits comme oraux non clos et analysés dans un cadre descriptif
inspiré de l'approche pronominale (Blanche-Benveniste et alii,
1984). Ainsi, nous montrerons notamment que quand possède la
distribution d'une proforme et qu'il intervient dans un large spectre
de relations que la notion de "subordination" ne permet pas
d'appréhender. Il résulte de notre travail un cadre apte à décrire
l'ensemble des fonctionnements des mots qu-, du point de vue de la
catégorie comme des relations qui relient la construction en qu- au
contexte.

*******************************************************************

7th International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVA'07)
   Plus GALA - Gathering of Life-like Agents
           17th - 19th September 2007
               Paris, France
           http://iva07.ntua.gr

           1st Call for Papers
*******************************************************************

SCOPE

Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs) are autonomous, graphically embodied
agents in an interactive, 2D or 3D virtual environment. They are able
to interact intelligently with the environment, other IVAs, and
especially with human users.

The conference is an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and
practitioners in computer graphics, animation, computer games, virtual
environments, artificial intelligence, natural language processing,
cognitive modeling, human-computer interaction and artificial life.
Since the first IVA back in 1999 firm lines of research have been
established and there is much that the graphics and AI communities can
learn from each other.

The domain of Intelligent Virtual Agents has become much more diverse
and now encompasses a wide range of disciplines; cognitive and social
psychology, communication models (conversational skills, interaction
loops, conversational analysis), non-verbal communication, sociology
(modeling human / IVA societies), HCI (intelligent user interfaces,
gesture/body tracking interfaces), design and arts (e.g., interactive
installations with IVAs), and numerous application domains.

While initial research often focused on the use of IVAs in virtual
environments, they are now increasingly used in web-based interfaces,
personal computing devices and interactive television. The rapid
advances in the field have enabled it to be applied in both in
research and industrial contexts. IVAs can provide appealing
characters for games and entertainment. They can also be used in novel
user interfaces or even as tools of psychological research.

IVA'07 will be a multidisciplinary forum for researchers and
practitioners from academia and industry with an interest in the
design, implementation, and evaluation of IVAs and IVA
applications. We aim for a lively program of timely, high-quality
presentations and demonstrations to discuss the state of the art and
future of Intelligent Virtual Agents. Papers will be published in the
Springer-Verlag LNAI (Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence)
series.

This year, IVA'07 and ACII'07 (http://gaips.inesc-id.pt/acii2007/) are
happening close to each other. While we do encourage submitting to
both conferences we do highlight there are differences in topics of
interest in each conference. We highly advise authors to read them
carefully.  Papers submitted to both conferences should be clearly
different in their scope and topic.

IVA'07 will also host GALA - The Gathering of Life-like Agents - see

Résumé

Constitué des contributions des spécialistes des applications de la
terminologie à l'accès à l'information cet ouvrage examine l'apport
spécifique de cette thématique aux métiers de l'information. Ces
contributions couvrent des domaines aussi divers que l'organisation,
l'appropriation et la médiation des savoirs , les techniques de
repérage des unités terminologiques au travers les activités
d'indexation et de recherche d'information , l'organisation des
connaissances et la représentation du contenu dans les systèmes
d'information avancés et multilingues. L'ensemble des contributions
met l'accent sur le rôle stratégique de la terminologie dans ces
domaines. De manière générale, ce livre peut être utile aux chercheurs
- tant confirmés que débutants - qui souhaitent disposer d'une
synthèse sur les principales approches et travaux portant sur la
terminologie et son utilisation dans l'accès à l'information pour leur
permettre de situer leurs propres travaux. Ce livre se veut aussi un
outil pédagogique pour des enseignants et formateurs.

Aslib's TRANSLATING AND THE COMPUTER 28 Conference
16-17 November 2006, Kensington, London
------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEWS: We are pleased to announce that Yves Champollion will be the
keynote speaker.  The title of his session is:
Very Large Translation Memories: is the free model viable?
Building a set of very large translation memories supporting all
language combinations is a challenging project. The VLTM project aims
at offering translators a repository of TM in all languages, made
available for free, with a search-engine approach. The author will
explore the technical, entrepreneurial, and deontological aspects of
this idealistic project, discuss its feasibility, and present the
current state reached by the project.

Yves is a consultant working with governments and large accounts for
translation/localisation projects. He is also the developer and owner
of the Wordfast and PlusTools suite of CAT (Computer-Assisted
Translation) tools.  This suite is popular among translation agencies
and free-lance translators, with over 10,000 licenses in use.  More
news to be announced shortly.

There is still time to book on to this year's conference. Full details

PURPOSE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE :

Following the workshop "Formal Ontologies for Communicating Agents"
that took place within the last ESSLLI summer school in Malaga, we
would like to invite contributions for a special issue of the
international journal ''Applied Ontology''.

We especially invite the authors of the paper presented at FOCA 2006
to submit an extended version of their contribution. However, anyone
is invited to submit a relevant contribution for the topic of the
special issue described below.

************************************************************************ 
*****************
DESCRIPTION:

In recent years lots of efforts have been devoted to formal studies of
human and artificial agent communication. Research advancements have
been achieved along three main lines: (i) agent's internal states and
dynamics, (ii) social interaction and conventional communicative
patterns, (iii) semantics-pragmatics interface - especially in the
dialogue context (i.e. the interplay between the semantic content of
messages and the communicative acts themselves). There is a recent
trend of studies trying to integrate these approaches in many ways. On
the other hand, formal ontology has been consecrated as a good
solution for comparing and integrating information and thus its
application to this specific domain is very promising . More
precisely, an ontological analysis of the fundamental ingredients of
interaction and communication will make explicit the hidden
ontological assumptions underlying all these proposals.

Ontology has also proven to be a very powerful means to address issues
related to the exchange of meaningful communication across autonomous
entities, which can organize and use information heterogeneously.  The
purpose of this special issue is therefore to gather contributions
that (i) take seriously into account the ontological aspects of
communication and interaction and (ii) use formal ontologies for
achieving a better semantic coordination between interacting and
communicating agents.

************************************************************************ 
****************
MAIN TOPICS:

We encourage contributions concerning the two main areas listed below   
with a particular attention to  explore the interplay between   
ontological analysis and its applications in practical cases.

* Ontological aspects of interaction and communication
    - Ontological analysis of interaction and communication
    - Studies on the structure and coherence of interaction
          - Logical models for communicative acts
    - Primitives of interaction and communication
    - Formal semantics of dialogue (dealing with ontological issues)
    *Semantic coordination through formal ontologies
    - Dialogue semantics and formal ontology
    - Dynamic ontology sharing
    - Ontological primitives for meaning negotiation, ontological   
alignment and semantic interoperability
        - Ontology evolution through communication
        - Concrete problems and experiences in terminological  
disambiguation and integration

************************************************************************ 
*****************
ABOUT THE JOURNAL:

Although a formal contribution is not an absolute requirement for
contributing to Applied Ontology, the contributors should keep in mind
the aim and scope of Applied Ontology, an interdisciplinary journal of
Ontological Analysis and Conceptual Modeling.

Applied Ontology is a new journal whose focus is on information
content in its broadest sense. As the subtitle makes clear, two broad
kinds of content-based research activities are envisioned: ontological
analysis and conceptual modeling. The former includes any attempt to
investigate the nature and structure of a domain of interest using
rigorous philosophical or logical tools; the latter concerns the
cognitive and linguistic structures we use to model the world, as well
as the various analysis tools and methodologies we adopt for producing
useful computational models, such as information systems schemes or
knowledge structures.

Applied Ontology is the first journal with explicit and exclusive
focus on ontological analysis and conceptual modeling under an
interdisciplinary view. It aims to establish a unique niche in the
realm of scientific journals by carefully avoiding unnecessary
duplication with discipline-oriented journals. For this reason,
authors will be encouraged to use language that will be intelligible
also to those outside their specific sector of expertise, and the
review process will be tailored to this end. For example, authors of
theoretical contributions will be encouraged to show the relevance of
their theory for applications, while authors of more technological
papers will be encouraged to show the relevance of a well-founded
theoretical perspective. Moreover, the journal will publish papers
focusing on representation languages or algorithms only where these
address relevant content issues, whether at the level of practical
application or of theoretical understanding. Similarly, it will
publish descriptions of tools or implemented systems only where a
contribution to the practice of ontological analysis and conceptual
modeling is clearly established.



************************************************************************ 
SUBMISSION DETAILS:

Submissions, that will undergo a peer-reviewing process, must be sent  
electronically through the journal's website  
(http://www.applied-ontology.org/) by the deadline listed below.  
Detailed instructions for authors are available from the same website.

       Named Entities: Recognition, Classification and Use  
         
         Special Issue of Lingvisticae Investigationes



Special issue website:
http://nlp.cs.nyu.edu/SpecialIssueNERLingInv/index.html


This special topic issue of the journal Lingvisticae Investigationes
is scheduled to come out in early 2008 on the broad topic of Named
Entities.

The aim is to bring out innovative papers on the issues and advances
in Named Entity recognition, classification and use, and how Named
Entities could be handled more effectively in a variety of NLP
applications.


GUEST EDITORS
-------------
The guest editors for this special issue will be (in alphabetical order):
 
Elisabete Ranchhod 
University of Lisbon
 
Satoshi Sekine 
New York University



BACKGROUND
----------

Since the MUC Conferences about Information Extraction, Named Entity
Recognition and Classification (NERC) is a well-established task in
the NLP community and is regarded as a crucial technology for many NLP
applications.  The definition of what is a Named Entity (NE), however,
still remains an overt question. NEs include classical classes of
proper names (persons, organizations, geographic locations,
geo-political entities) and numeric expressions (time, currencies,
percentages).

However, the correct identification and classification of single and
multiword domain specific expressions (e.g., disease names, biological
agents causing health problems, drugs used in disease treatment)
should be an important issue for a number of NLP applications (IE, MT,
QA, etc.) and dealing with these questions has become part and parcel
of the problems dealt by the NE camp.  Likewise, reference to definite
events or entities no longer referenced as proper names in text, as
encompassed by the ACE program, has long been accepted as part of the
NER discipline.


TOPICS
------
The guest editors seek papers on original and unpublished research on
all aspects of NE recognition, classification, and use. Special topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:

   * Real applications that employ NERC technology 
   * Linguistic properties of proper names 
   * Resources (lexicons, grammars, gazetteers, ontologies) for NERC 
   * The relevance of NERC as a subtask in NLP applications
     (e.g. question- answering (QA), information retrieval (IR),

Purpose / History:

   This set of joint conferences is the largest annual gathering
   of researchers in computer science, computer engineering and
   applied computing.  Many of the 24 joint conferences in
   WORLDCOMP are the premier conferences for presentation of
   advances in their respective fields.  We anticipate to have
   2000 or more attendees from over 75 countries participating in
   the 2007 joint conferences.

   The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research
   conferences into a coordinated research meeting held in a
   common place at a common time.  The main goal is to provide a
   forum for exchange of ideas in a number of research areas that
   interact.  The model used to form these annual conferences
   facilitates communication among researchers from all over the world
   in different fields of computer science, computer engineering and
   applied computing.  Both inward research (core areas of computer
   science and engineering) and outward research (multi-disciplinary,
   inter-disciplinary, and applications) will be covered during the
   conferences.

Proposal for Organizing Sessions/Workshops:

   Each session will have at least 6 paper presentations from
   different authors (12 papers in the case of workshops).
   The session chairs will be responsible for all aspects of
   their sessions; including, soliciting papers, reviewing,
   selecting, ...  The names of session chairs will appear as
   Associate Editors in the conference proceedings and on the
   cover of the books.

   Proposals to organize sessions should include the following
   information: name and address (+ email) of proposer, title of
   session, a 100-word description of the topic of the session,
   the name of the conference the session is submitted for
   consideration, and a short description on how the session will
   be advertised (in most cases, session proposers solicit papers
   from colleagues and researchers whose work is known to the
   session proposer).  E-mail your proposal to H. R. Arabnia
   (address is given above).  We would like to receive the
   proposals by December 1, 2006.

Submission of Papers:

   Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper
   (about 5 to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to
   H. R. Arabnia by Feb. 20, 2007. E-mail submissions in MS
   document or PDF formats are preferable (Fax or postal
   submissions are also fine.)  All reasonable typesetting formats
   are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers will be
   asked to follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their
   papers for publication.)

   The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be
   limited to 7 (IEEE style) pages.  Papers must not have been
   previously published or currently submitted for publication
   elsewhere.  The first page of the draft paper should include:
   title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, email
   address, and telephone number for each author.  The first page
   should also identify the name of the author who will be presenting
   the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that
   would best represent the content of the paper.  Finally, the name
   of the conference that the paper is being submitted to must be
   stated on the first page.

   Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance,
   clarity, impact, and soundness.  Each paper will be refereed by
   two experts in the field who are independent of the conference
   program committee.  The referees' evaluations will then be reviewed
   by two members of the program committee who will recommend a
   decision to the chair of the track that the paper has been
   submitted to.  The chair will make the final decision.  Lastly, the
   Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one member of the program
   committee.

Members of Program and Organizing Committees:

   The Program Committee includes members of chapters of World
   Academy of Science (chapters: supercomputing; scientific
   computing; artificial intelligence; imaging science; databases;
   simulation; software engineering; embedded systems; internet
   and web technologies; communications; computer security; and
   bioinformatics.) The Program Committee for individual
   conferences is currently being formed.  Those interested in
   joining the Program Committee should email H. R. Arabnia
   (hra at cs.uga.edu) the following information: Name, affiliation
   and position, complete mailing address, email address, tel/fax
   numbers, a short biography together with research interests and
   the name of the conference offering to help with.

Location of Conferences:

   The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort hotel,
   Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by
   hotels).  The Monte Carlo Resort is a mega hotel with excellent
   conference facilities and over 3,000 rooms.  The hotel is
   minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle service to and
   from the airport.  This hotel has many recreational attractions,
   including: waterfalls, spa, pools and kiddie pools, sunning
   decks, Easy River water ride, wave pool with cascades, lighted
   tennis courts, health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool,
   sauna, ...), arcade game rooms, nightly shows, snack bars, a
   number of restaurants, shopping area, bars, ...  Many of these
   attractions are open 24 hours a day and most are suitable for
   families and children.  The negotiated room rate for conference
   attendees is very reasonable.  The hotel is within walking
   distance from most other attractions (major shopping areas,
   recreational destinations, fine dining and night clubs, free
   street shows, Golf courses...).

CALL FOR PAPERS

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement]

Journal of Applied Ontology: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Ontological
Analysis and Conceptual Modeling
http://www.applied-ontology.org/
IOS Press (Editors-in-Chief: Nicola Guarino and Mark A. Musen)

Special Issue on

**** ONTOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR CONCEPTUAL MODELING ****

Expected publication: Winter 2007
Submission Deadline: March 1st, 2007

GUEST EDITORS OF SPECIAL ISSUE
===========================================

- Giancarlo Guizzardi, Federal University of Esp?rito Santo, Vit?ria,
  Brazil & Laboratory for Applied Ontology (ISTC-CNR), Trento, Italy

- Terry Halpin, Neumont University, South Jordan, Utah, USA

OBJECTIVES OF THIS SPECIAL ISSUE
===========================================
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the role played
by formal ontology, and more generally, by areas such as philosophy,
logics, cognitive sciences and linguistics in the development of
theoretical foundations for conceptual modeling in computer
science. As it has been shown in a large number of recent
publications, so-called foundational ontologies such as BWW, GFO,
DOLCE, UFO, BFO, and Chisholm's have been successfully applied to the
evaluation of conceptual modeling languages and frameworks (e.g., UML,
ORM, ER) and to the development of engineering tools (e.g.,
methodological guidelines, modeling profiles, design patterns) that
contribute to the theory and practice of conceptual modelling.

The purpose of this special issue is to collect innovative and
high-quality research contributions regarding the role played by the
aforementioned areas to the theoretical foundations of conceptual
modeling.

This issue should be of interest of several academic communities,
including those working on database design, requirements engineering,
knowledge engineering, enterprise modeling, agent and object
orientation, information systems, software engineering (in particular
domain engineering), natural-language processing, business rules and
model-driven architectures.

We thus solicit contributions in several areas related to Ontological
Foundations for Conceptual Modeling. Topics of interest include:

- Philosophical and Cognitive Foundations for Conceptual Modeling
- Ontology-Based Conceptual Modeling: Methodologies, Tools, and Case
  Studies
- Psychological Experiments Evaluating the Cognitive Adequacy of
  Conceptual Modeling Primitives
- Ontological Analysis of Existing Conceptual Models (including
  Reference Models)
- Role of Ontology-driven Conceptual Modelling for Semantic
  Interoperability
- Ontological Design Patterns
- Linguistic theories and Natural-Language Semantics in Conceptual
  Modeling
- Formal Semantics of Conceptual Modeling Languages
- Comparison between existing Foundational Ontologies for the purpose
  of Conceptual Modeling

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
===========================================

Submissions, that will undergo a peer-reviewing process, must be sent
electronically through the journal's website
(http://www.applied-ontology.org/) by the deadline listed
below. Detailed instructions for authors are available from the same
website.

IMPORTANT DATES
===========================================
Submissions Deadline		March 1st, 2007
Notification of Authors		April 15th, 2007
Camera-ready Version		May 15th, 2007
Special Issue Publication 	Winter 2007

ABOUT THE JOURNAL
===========================================

Although a formal contribution is not an absolute requirement for
contributing to Applied Ontology, the contributors should keep in mind
the aim and scope of Applied Ontology, an interdisciplinary journal of
Ontological Analysis and Conceptual Modeling.

Applied Ontology is a new journal whose focus is on information
content in its broadest sense. As the subtitle makes clear, two broad
kinds of content-based research activities are envisioned: ontological
analysis and conceptual modeling. The former includes any attempt to
investigate the nature and structure of a domain of interest using
rigorous philosophical or logical tools; the latter concerns the
cognitive and linguistic structures we use to model the world, as well
as the various analysis tools and methodologies we adopt for producing
useful computational models, such as information systems schemes or
knowledge structures.

Applied Ontology is the first journal with explicit and exclusive
focus on ontological analysis and conceptual modeling under an
interdisciplinary view. It aims to establish a unique niche in the
realm of scientific journals by carefully avoiding unnecessary
duplication with discipline-oriented journals. For this reason,
authors will be encouraged to use language that will be intelligible
also to those outside their specific sector of expertise, and the
review process will be tailored to this end.

For example, authors of theoretical contributions will be encouraged
to show the relevance of their theory for applications, while authors
of more technological papers will be encouraged to show the relevance
of a well-founded theoretical perspective. Moreover, the journal will
publish papers focusing on representation languages or algorithms only
where these address relevant content issues, whether at the level of
practical application or of theoretical understanding. Similarly, it
will publish descriptions of tools or implemented systems only where a
contribution to the practice of ontological analysis and conceptual
modeling is clearly established.

Date:
May 10-11 2007

Location:
Minist?re de la Recherche, Paris, France

Topic:
The aim of GL workshops is to bring together diverse contributions in
philosophy, linguistics, computer science and lexicography to explore
the lexicon from the point of view of generativity. The discussions
will be centered, but are not limited to, the emerging view of
"Generative Lexicon Theory" (Pustejovsky). Topics include:

- Philosophical foundations of a generative approach
- Generative lexicon theory and representation of word meaning
- Analysis of linguistic phenomena in a generative perspective
- Frameworks for lexical semantics
- Philosophical differences between frameworks
- Critical perspectives and evaluation

In this fourth workshop we would like to keep all the above
perspectives, but put more of the focus on building on-line GL
resources for NLP tasks, in particular:

- Arguments and counter-arguments in favour of a GL resource
- Acquiring lexical information: methodology, tools, resources
- Maintaining and evaluating GL resources on systematic grounds
- Scalability for different NLP tasks

Papers 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 resources 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 days. Both posters
and presentations are foreseen and will be published in the
proceedings.  Invited speakers include Alain Polgu?re, James Pustejovksy 
and Robin Cooper.

Submission procedure: Authors should submit an anonymous paper of at
most 7 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

Third International Conference on Meaning-Text Theory (MTT)
       May 21 - 24, 2007, Klagenfurt, Austria

Call for Papers

The Meaning-Text Theory is a holistic linguistic dependency-based
theory characterized in particular by the central position of the
lexicon, the primacy of semantics, and the importance of the
communicative structure. MTT has been extensively developed over the
last four decades with respect to its coverage of linguistic phenomena
and application in a variety of research fields - among them natural
language processing (in particular text generation) and second
language learning and teaching.

After MTT '03 in Paris and MTT '05 in Moscow, this conference is the
third in a series of conferences which aims at bringing together
researchers working on MTT, other dependency-based linguistic theories
and computational applications that draw upon dependency theories. The
special goal of this conference is to open MTT more to researchers
working in related frameworks.

A social program will be offered before the main conference. After the
main conference, a tutorial on natural language generation in the
framework of MTT is planned.

SUBMISSIONS

We invite submissions on all topics related to MTT and other
grammatical and lexical frameworks that share with MTT the fundamental
principles such as dependency, the primacy of the lexicon,
stratificational nature of the linguistic model, etc.


SUBMISSION FORMAT

Submissions must be in English. They may not exceed 10 pages in length
(including all figures, data, notes, and bibliography) using a 12
point font, printed in one column).  Style files for Word and LaTeX
will be available on the web site of the conference soon. The
submission format must be pdf.

The electronic submission web site will be made known shortly. No
hardcopy or email submissions addressed to the conference organizers
will be accepted.

                  FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
                     CONTEXT'07

The Sixth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on
             Modeling and Using Context

                 August 20-24, 2007
            Roskilde University, Denmark

               Submissions deadlines:
         Full papers:                        March 15, 2007
         Poster and Demonstration abstracts: March 15, 2007

               http://context-07.ruc.dk/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Sixth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling
and Using Context (CONTEXT'07) will provide a forum for presenting and
discussing high-quality research and applications on context. The
conference will include paper and poster presentations, system
demonstrations, workshops, and a doctoral consortium. The conference
invites researchers and practitioners to share insights and
cutting-edge results from a wide range of disciplines including:

     Computer Science, especially
          Artificial Intelligence and Ubiquitous Computing

     Cognitive Science           Linguistics

     Organizational Sciences     Philosophy

     Psychology         

     Application areas such as Medicine and Law

Context affects a wide range of activities in humans and animals as
well as in artificial agents and other systems. The importance of
context is widely acknowledged, and "context" has become an area of
study in its own right, as evidenced by numerous workshops, symposia,
seminars, and conferences on this area. CONTEXT, the oldest conference
series focusing on context, is unique in its emphasis on
interdisciplinary research.  Previous CONTEXT conferences have been
held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (CONTEXT'97), Trento, Italy
(CONTEXT'99, LNCS 1688), Dundee, Scotland (CONTEXT'01, LNCS 2116),
Palo Alto, U.S.A. (CONTEXT'03, LNCS 2680), and Paris, France
(CONTEXT'05, LNCS 3554).

Each of these brought together researchers and practitioners from many
disparate fields to discuss and report on context-related research and
projects.


TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------

The following list illustrates sample research areas whose
perspectives on context are solicited for the conference. This is not
an exhaustive list, and contributions addressing context from other
perspectives are welcome.  The conference scope includes the
contextual issues related to areas such as:

CONFERENCE EVENTS
-----------------

CONTEXT'07 will include paper presentation sessions, a poster and
demonstration session, two days of workshops, and a doctoral
consortium. Workshops and the doctoral consortium will circulate
separate calls for papers and participation, which will also be
available at the conference web site.


ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA AND SUBMISSION CATEGORIES
---------------------------------------------

Because CONTEXT'07 will be an interdisciplinary forum, all submissions
will be evaluated both for their technical merit and for their
accessibility to an interdisciplinary audience. Works that transcend
disciplinary boundaries are especially encouraged.

Submissions may be for full papers, poster abstracts, or demonstration
abstracts. Full papers will be accepted either for oral presentation
or for presentation at a poster session. All accepted full paper
submissions will be published in the proceedings. Accepted posters and
demonstrations will be presented at the poster session, and the
associated abstracts will be published in a brochure distributed to
attendees. For additional details see the conference web site.

For a paper to appear in the proceedings, at least one author must
register for the conference by the deadline for camera-ready copy.


SUBMISSION PROCEDURES
---------------------

Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files. Submissions
cannot exceed 14 pages in the Springer LNAI format. Detailed
formatting and submissions instructions, as well as LaTeX and Word
templates, will be available in the author instructions section of the
conference Web site.

All accepted authors will have the option of presenting a system
demonstration at the poster session. Authors wishing to present a
demonstration without an accompanying paper must submit a
demonstration abstract. Demonstration abstracts should describe
cutting-edge systems not described in paper submissions. Demonstration
abstracts should summarize the system's behavior and significance, and
should include at least one screen shot. If desired, they may also
include the URL of an informal video on the web. Demonstration
abstracts should be at most 2 pages long.


MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS POLICY
---------------------------

CONTEXT'07 will not accept any paper which, at the time of submission,
is under review for or has already been published or accepted for
publication in a journal or another conference. This restriction does

I1-[OntoSpace], Universit?t Bremen (TVL 13, approx. euro 35,000 to euro 50,000 
p.a. gross)

The research project I1-[OntoSpace] (Bateman/Mossakowski) employs
logical specification languages and tools for constructing and
delivering logically consistent ontological submodules for spatial
objects, spatial relationships, functional spatial roles (e.g.,
landmarks) and motion-in-space. The currently announced position is

and Washington, DC (2006).  MLMI brings together researchers from the
different communities working on the common theme of advanced machine
learning algorithms applied to multimodal human-human and
human-computer interaction.  The motivation for creating this joint
multi-disciplinary workshop arose from the actual needs of several
large collaborative projects.

MLMI'07 will follow on directly from the annual conference of the
Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL/EACL 2007), which will
take place in Prague on June 25-27, 2007.

* Workshop topics

MLMI'07 will feature talks (including a number of invited speakers),
posters and demonstrations.  Prospective authors are invited to submit
proposals in the following areas of interest, related to machine
learning and multimodal interaction:

  - human-human communication modeling
  - human-computer interaction modeling
  - speech processing
  - image and video processing
  - multimodal processing, fusion and fission
  - multimodal discourse and dialogue modeling
  - multimodal indexing, structuring and summarization
  - annotation and browsing of multimodal data
  - machine learning algorithms and their applications to the topics above

* Venue

Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic and the capital
of Moravia.  Brno had been a royal city since 1347 and is the
country's judiciary and trade-fair center.  With a population of
almost four hundred thousand and its six universities, Brno is also
the cultural center of the region.

Brno can be easily reached by direct flights from Prague, London and
Munich and by trains or buses from Prague (200 km) or Vienna (130 km).

MLMI'07 will take place at the Hotel Continental
(http://www.continentalbrno.cz), a modern hotel located in a quiet
part of the city within walking distance from the city center.  The
local organizers are members of the Faculty of Information Technology
(http://www.fit.vutbr.cz) at Brno University of Technology, which was
founded in 1899 as the Czech Technological University.

CALL FOR PAPERS

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The CORPUS Journal invites articles on the following topic :
	Interpretation, Contexts, Encoding

NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE (abstract) : November 23rd, 2006
Date of publication of #6 issue : October 2007
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Presentation of CORPUS
2. Introduction to the topic of the #6 issue (2007)
3. Submission procedure and important dates


1. Presentation of CORPUS

CORPUS is a journal devoted to corpus linguistics, in all its aspects
: theory, epistemology, methodology, whatever the field of application
or geographic area could be. These different points of view focus on
one main objective : getting a better understanding of the place of
corpora in linguistic research.

Each article is then invited to question the way of building or
exploiting corpora. How can a (good) corpus be defined ? Is there a
set of criteria, or some empirical guidelines, that prove to be
efficient ?  How can the corpus and its analysis be adjusted to each
other ? Can the corpus be appropriately used for several studies ? How
may the corpus be affected by aging ? These questions and others
deserve to be considered carefully, all the more so when having a
great acquaintance with corpus practice.

CORPUS Journal is an international journal, published once a year.
Articles can be written in French or English, and are reviewed by a
scientific commitee.

The diffusion is both paper-based and online (6 months later, free).

ISSN for the internet edition : 1765-3126
ISSN for the paper edition : 1638-9808


2. Introduction to the topic of the #6 issue (2007)

The #6 issue of CORPUS, to be published in 2007, will investigate the
relationships between encoding, interpretation and contexts. In fact,
textual corpora cannot be built or processed without some kind of
INTERPRETATION. Meaning is grounded in CONTEXTS, and ENCODING is the
technical way to express textual, intertextual and contextual
affinities. Such a theme naturally combines theoretical and empirical
considerations.

A possible approach is to consider the interaction between two of the
three components of the topic. For example :

* encoding + interpretation : are encoding and interpretation allied
or ennemies ? Related topics : Subjectivity or objectivity of the
encoding, respect of the form of the text and spirit, overcoding... Is
encoding a nasty job or a crucial scientific task ? Theorically
speaking, encoding may not precede interpretation : how can this be
implemented and taken into account in corpus practice ?

* interpretation + contexts : what kind of effects on meaning and
interpretation do the grouping of texts and the corpus structure
create ? Some text and corpus analysis methods, and textual and
distributional semantics, are based on the contextualisations of
linguistic units : which contextual levels should be considered ?
(phrase, sentence, paragraph, text, text class,...) Which ones are
fully relevant for what kind of corpus analysis ?

* encoding + contexts : What kind of contextual information should be
encoded ? How much do such contextual information determine the
quality of the corpus-based research ? What is the real place given to
contexts in text representations and computational analysis of texts ?


3. Submission procedure and important dates

3. Modalit?s pratiques


1. Pr?sentation de la revue

La revue CORPUS est consacr?e ? la linguistique de corpus envisag?e
sous tous ses aspects : th?oriques, ?pist?mologiques, m?thodologiques,
quels que soient le champ disciplinaire et le domaine g?olinguistique
d'application. Au fil des num?ros il s'agit de d?velopper une
r?flexion approfondie sur le r?le des corpus dans les pratiques
linguistiques contemporaines et une analyse r?flexive sur les modes de
constitution des diff?rents corpus pr?sent?s, ainsi que sur leurs
outils d'exploitation. Par l?-m?me on tente d'expliciter et d'?valuer
les processus heuristiques qui unissent la collecte et la
structuration des donn?es empiriques d'une part et le surgissement ou
la validation de l'hypoth?se linguistique d'autre part.

CORPUS est publi?e par l'UMR 6039 "Bases, Corpus et Langage" (CNRS &
Universit? de Nice), ? raison d'un num?ro chaque ann?e.  C'est une
revue ? comit?s qui dispose de deux supports compl?mentaires : le
support papier qui reste essentiel, et le support ?lectronique qui met
gratuitement sur le Web, ? la disposition de la communaut?, les
articles six mois apr?s leur publication papier.

2. Introduction au th?me du num?ro 6 (? para?tre en 2007)

La r?flexion sur l'usage de corpus de textes part ici de sa possible
-et n?cessaire- INTERPRETATION. Or le sens se d?ploie en s'appuyant
sur des CONTEXTES structurants, et le CODAGE est l'expression
technique, d?terminante, des structures textuelles, intertextuelles,
et contextuelles.

Concr?tement, le CODAGE renvoie aux choix d'?dition lors de la
r??criture du corpus dans le format adopt? pour l'analyse. Dans le cas
d'un format XML par exemple, le codage concerne aussi bien le balisage
de structures textuelles (notamment par d?coupage et embo?tements,
avec la d?limitation de contextes syntagmatiques) que l'enrichissement
par ?tiquetage (l'assignation de cat?gories cr?ant compl?mentairement
des contextes paradigmatiques). A la multiplicit? des interpr?tations
possibles r?pond le besoin de vues alternatives sur le corpus : par
exemple, les informations enregistr?es par le codage pourront ?tre
diff?rentes et se noter diff?remment, et donc conduire ? diff?rentes
?ditions ?lectroniques du corpus, selon que l'objectif est
l'archivage, la diffusion, ou le traitement par tel ou tel
logiciel. En mati?re d'analyse assist?e par ordinateur, si la
robustesse des outils d'analyse est certainement pertinente, il serait
dommageable qu'elle dicte un nivellement par le bas de la
structuration des corpus. Car les logiciels d'analyse et d'exploration
textuelle, notamment ? vis?e s?mantique, ont tout ? gagner ? savoir
tirer parti d'un codage riche -ou du moins non appauvri-, donnant
v?ritablement acc?s aux informations de contextualisation de tous
ordres. Reste ? trouver un ?quilibre vertueux, pour ?viter des codages
excessifs, trop lourds, ing?rables, et ?touffant l'interpr?tation au
lieu de la rendre accessible et de la susciter.

L'INTERPRETATION est pr?sente ? toutes les ?tapes du travail sur
corpus.  Interpr?tation "a priori" au moment de la constitution du
corpus, et avec la conception des op?rations d'analyse ? pratiquer ;
interpr?tation "a posteriori" pour l'exploitation des r?sultats
produits. Mais la pratique interpr?tative proc?de par retours et
ajustements, elle n'?chappe pas au cercle herm?neutique : ainsi, la
lecture des r?sultats motive(rait) tr?s naturellement une reprise du
codage et une r?orientation des traitements. La Text Encoding
Initiative (1) pr?voit ? juste raison un commentaire du codage, livr?
avec le corpus (rubrique tagUsage), comme du contexte du codage
(rubrique projectDesc) : une telle explicitation des conventions de
sens et du mode d'usage des balises dans le contexte du corpus est
?minemment importante pour toute exploitation et r?exploitation du
corpus, en d'autres temps ou d'autres lieux, y compris par ses
?diteurs, mais aussi au moment m?me du codage !  L'annotation des
corpus semble questionner encore plus directement l'alliance entre
codage et interpr?tation : peut-on ?tablir une typologie des
annotations, et ce ? tous les paliers de contexte ? A l'image d'un
cheminement interpr?tatif, l'annotation peut-elle, voire doit-elle,
?tre dynamique (c'est-?-dire ajout?e, rectifi?e, oubli?e...) ?
doit-elle ?tre partag?e et s?diment?e - mais avec quels contextes pour
limiter g?ne mutuelle des s?ries d'annotations et surcharge
artificielle, inhumaine, de la lecture ?

Quelquefois pr?cis?e par la distinction entre contexte et co-texte, la
r?flexion sur le CONTEXTE dans son lien au codage et ?
l'interpr?tation des corpus pourrait ici se centrer sur les structures
syntagmatiques (qui d?coupent, embo?tent) et paradigmatiques (qui
mettent en lien), dans un texte et entre des textes. Cette option
n'est pas si restrictive qu'il y para?t : Rastier (2) montre que les
r?alit?s externes en prise avec le texte (l'auteur, le monde, le
lecteur - les "p?les extrins?ques") s'y retrouvent par leur empreinte
dans le mat?riau linguistique et textuel ("p?les intrins?ques"),
notamment via le genre du texte. Peut-?tre aussi la question du
contexte rejoint-elle directement celle, fondamentale, de la bonne
constitution du corpus : les crit?res de cl?ture ou de r?flexivit? (3)
par exemple ne visent-ils pas la recherche d'une contextualisation
globale, s?mantiquement stable, n?cessaire et suffisante, d?terminante
? Compl?mentairement, les techniques d'analyse de corpus dessinent
?galement des contextualisations glissantes, mouvantes : qu'est-ce
qu'un passage, et faut-il le coder ? L'observation des affinit?s et
des attirances lexicales par des calculs de cooccurrences suppose la
d?limitation de contextes : l'environnement d'un mot, sa sp?re
d'influence, son rayonnement, se laissent-t-ils d?limiter ?
uniform?ment ? de fa?on unique ? Pour autant, comment garder sa
consistance pratique et significative ? la notion de contexte ?

Il est suggestif d'articuler deux ? deux les trois p?les du th?me,
pour retrouver des terrains de recherche actifs, correspondant ? des
perspectives d'analyse compl?mentaires :

- codage + interpr?tation : codage et interpr?tation sont-ils alli?s
ou ennemis ? subjectivit?/objectivit?, respect du texte, sur-codage,
pratique de t?cheron ou travail scientifique d?terminant... Si, en
th?orie, le codage ne saurait pr?c?der l'interpr?tation, comment en
rendre compte en pratique ? Par exemple, en cas de d'h?sitation ou de
d?saccord au moment du codage, la multi-annotation apporte-t-elle une
solution en reportant l'arr?t d'une interpr?tation, voire en
permettant d'?valuer statistiquement, par le calcul, chaque
possibilit? interpr?tative ? R?ciproquement, ? quelles conditions, et
dans quelle mesure, le codage peut-il concourir ? la transmission
d'une interpr?tation ?

- interpr?tation + contextes : effets interpr?tatifs (parfois
sous-estim?s ou ignor?s) li?s ? la r?union des textes et ? la
d?limitation de collections, ? la structuration du corpus et ? la
g?n?ration possible d'?ditions (ou "vues") partielles ou diversement
pr?sent?es et organis?es ; m?thodes d'analyse et de parcours des
corpus (textes et intertexte), s?mantique interpr?tative fond?e sur la
contextualisation d'unit?s linguistiques et textuelles de tous
ordres...

- codage + contextes : pourquoi et comment pratiquer la linguistique
de corpus, par opposition ? une linguistique sur exemples ponctuels ?
La constitution, le codage (y compris minimal) et l'exploitation d'un
corpus imposent des choix concrets de structuration des donn?es
textuelles. Quelles informations de contextualisation exprimer ?
Ont-elles une forte incidence sur la qualit? de la recherche ? A
contrario, l'importance des contextes dans les mod?lisations usuelles
pour les textes et les traitements est peut-?tre encore souvent
incompl?tement per?ue.

Dans l'esprit de la revue CORPUS, ce th?me invite ? une r?flexion
clairement pratique et th?orique. L'?tude des m?canismes
interpr?tatifs, de l'existence et de la nature des contextes, de la
mod?lisation des textes, se nourrissent maintenant des pratiques et
des observations rendues possibles par la num?risation et l'?dition
?lectronique.  R?ciproquement, la fr?quentation des corpus et les
savoir-faire d?velopp?s dans des exp?riences bien concr?tes appellent
une prise de recul, une relecture synth?tique, pour en mieux saisir la
valeur.

- de linguistique (ERSS : Equipe de Recherche en Syntaxe et
  S?mantique)
- de sociologie (CERTOP : Centre d'Etude et de Recherche Travail
  Organisation Pouvoir)
- de psychologie cognitive et ergonomique (LTC : Laboratoire Travail
  et Cognition)


Le champ des relations entre travail et communication a ?t?
consid?rablement renouvel? lors de ces derni?res ann?es notamment dans
le cadre du r?seau Langage et Travail. Ces recherches ? vocation
pluridisciplinaires ont donn? lieu ? diverses manifestations et
publications comme en t?moignent entre autres l'ouvrage ? Langage et
travail : communication, cognition, action ? coordonn? par A. Borzeix
et B. Fraenkel ou encore le 1er Symposium international ? Artefacts &
Collectifs : Action situ?e & th?ories de l'activit? ?, qui s'est tenu
? Lyon en juillet 2005.

Les journ?es COMeT sont destin?es aux doctorants et "jeunes
chercheurs" de tout horizon des sciences humaines et sociales
(sociologie, linguistique, psychologie cognitive et ergonomique
...). Un des enjeux de ces journ?es est de confronter une vari?t? de
niveaux d'analyses, d'approches m?thodologiques et d'objectifs
disciplinaires pour apporter des ?l?ments de r?ponse ? la double
probl?matique de l'influence du travail sur les communications et de
l'influence de la communication sur le travail. Plus pr?cis?ment, nous
chercherons dans ces journ?es non seulement ? comprendre comment ? la
communication ?, et les diff?rents facteurs qui la d?finissent
(canaux, nature du message, modalit?s de circulation...), influencent
les situations de travail.  Mais aussi, de fa?on sym?trique, comment
les ? situations de travail ? (cadre mat?riel, organisation,
activit?...) agissent comme contraintes, ressources et fondement m?me
de la communication.

Pour appr?hender cette question, les contributions pourront prendre la
forme de travaux empiriques exposant des r?sultats d'une ?tude
r?cente, ou la forme de discussions plus th?oriques. Dans tous les cas
les contributions devront rester ancr?es dans une d?marche
empirique. Le but de ces journ?es d'?tudes ?tant de comprendre comment
la question de la communication au travail peut nourrir des recherches
sur des terrains tr?s vari?s.

Plusieurs th?mes et objets pourront ?tre abord?s autour de la question des
relations entre travail et communication, tels que (liste non
exhaustive) :

-	Les fonctions de la communication (ex. : coordination, n?gociation,
encadrement, prescription, repr?sentation, distribution, hi?rarchisation) ;
-	Les dysfonctionnements de la communication (ex. : ambigu?t?s,
incompr?hensions) ;
-	Les modes d'interaction (ex. : homme-homme, homme-machine, m?diatis?,
face ? face, distant, synchrone, asynchrone) ;
-	L'organisation au/du travail, le pouvoir au travail, la communication
au sein de groupes de travail ;
-	La communication efficace : quelles strat?gies dans l'entreprise ?
-	Les performativit?s du langage au travail ;
-	Les registres de langage au travail (ex. : fonctionnel, civique,
ordinaire, conflictuel) ;
-	La relation entre le prescrit et le r?el dans la communication (la
norme vs. l'usage) ;
-	L'existence d'un lien entre types de communication et types de travail
;
-	Le r?le de l'exp?rience dans la communication au travail (ex. :
acquisition des comp?tences, apprentissage, communication entre experts, ou
entre experts et novices) ;
-	Les m?thodes de production, la gestion, l'exploitation et le traitement
des documents pertinents dans l'?tude des relations entre langage et travail
(ex. : donn?es sonores, ?crites, visuelles, virtuelles) ;
-	Quelles analyses, quelles m?thodologies et quels outils originaux
peuvent permettre d'enrichir nos connaissances sur le fonctionnement des
discours au travail, et d?passer certaines contraintes (ex. dans l'acc?s aux
donn?es et leur recueil) ?
Conf?rences invit?es :
Ces deux journ?es seront marqu?es par des conf?rences invit?es. Le nom des
personnes invit?es sera communiqu? ult?rieurement.

last years. It has contributed to both improving the development
process from the viewpoints of the developers (e.g. the process of
requirements engineering, conceptual modeling, validation etc.) and
the usability of applications (e.g. natural language query interfaces,
retrieval, semantic web etc.) To underline these inspiring
connections, NLDB 2007 will take place from June 27 to June 29 in
Paris (France).

              Second Call For Papers for the Workshop on

    Interfaces of Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Learning
                            (IICALL 2006)

                      http://purl.org/net/iicall

        Preceded by Three Pre-Workshop Courses, December 14-16
         Department of Linguistics, The Ohio State University


                   SUBMISSION DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 20


Research  in  Intelligent  Computer-Aided  Language  Learning  (ICALL)
integrates natural language  processing into a computer-aided language
learning environment.  For such  research to be innovative, successful
and  sustainable, it  arguably needs  to combine  linguistic modeling,
second language acquisition  research (learner and activity modeling),
and pedagogical  insights from foreign  language teaching (instruction
modeling) with representations and computational linguistic algorithms
capable of integrating the information from these models.

The  current state of  the art  in the  various relevant  fields seems
favorable  for interdisciplinary  ICALL  research.  Complementing  the
focus on communication and  culture in foreign language teaching since
the  60s,  second language  acquisition  research  since  the 90s  has
clearly established  that awareness of language  categories, forms and
rules---and  thus linguistic  modeling  and the  processing needed  to
identify  those  properties---is important  for  an  adult learner  to
successfully  acquire a  foreign  language.  At  the  same time,  most
research  groups  currently  lack the  interdisciplinary  orientation,
background, or ties  needed to develop and combine  the linguistic and
learner/cognitive  modeling  with  computational  processing,  and  to
develop  and test intelligent  tutoring systems  as part  of real-life
language teaching.

The  IICALL workshop  and  the pre-workshop  courses  are intended  to
foster exchange and in-depth discussion of these interfaces of ICALL.


--- PRE-WORKSHOP COURSES ---

The courses on Dec 14-16 will  be held by three leading researchers in
the area of ICALL and its interfaces:

- Kathleen McCoy (U. Delaware), on NLP and Learner Modeling for ICALL

- Susan Bull (U. Birmingham), on Open Learner Models

- Eckhard Bick  (VISL, Southern  Denmark U.), on  ICALL in  support of
  Language Awareness


--- WORKSHOP ---

The  workshop on  Dec 17  will consist  of 20+8  minute presentations,
selected from the submitted abstracts.

You  are  invited to  submit  one-page  abstracts describing  research
related to ICALL. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

   . Learner and/or instruction models for ICALL
   . ICALL tools to promote language awareness
   . Activity design for ICALL systems
   . Transferability of SLA research results to an ICALL setting
   . ICALL to collect data for SLA research
   . Evaluation of ICALL tools in foreign language teaching settings
   . Integration of ICALL into foreign language teaching curricula
   . ICALL system architecture
   . Re-use of NLP resources for ICALL
   . NLP techniques for ICALL
   . Feedback generation in ICALL
  
Discussions of work  in progress are welcome -  PhD students and other
young researchers are particularly encouraged to submit their work.

- Format: one page abstract (plus references/figures)

- Submit the abstract in PDF format to both of the organizers: 
      Luiz Amaral <amaral.1 at osu.edu>
      Detmar Meurers <meurers.1 at osu.edu>

- Deadline for submissions:   Monday, November 20
- Notification of acceptance: Friday, November 24
- Workshop takes place on:    Sunday, December 17


The event will  be held at the Ohio  State University, Columbus, Ohio.
Participation in the workshop and the pre-workshop courses is free.

We  are grateful  to  the Ohio  State  College of  Humanities and  the
Department  of Linguistics  for financial  support under  the Targeted
Investment in  Excellence initiative for  the Cross-disciplinary study
of Language.

Les editions Lambert-Lucas annoncent la creation de la collection
ARCHIVES DE LA LANGUE DES SIGNES FRANCAISE sous la direction
scientifique de Francoise Bonnal-Verges, chargee de cours a Paris-8,
dont la these de doctorat (a paraitre) est consacree au domaine. La
plupart des titres annonces sont des manuscrits anciens restes inedits
ou des imprimes du XIXe siecle devenus introuvables.

Les plus recents travaux de semiologie et d'etymologie des signes
montrent que la LSF est un terrain encore largement inexplore a la
croisee des sciences cognitives et des sciences du langage. La LSF est
a l'origine de nombreuses autres langues des signes (dont
l'Americaine). Surtout, elle est de creation a la fois
institutionnelle et recente, ce qui met a portee de l'observation
scientifique le "grand Legislateur" evoque par Platon dans le Cratyle.

Trois titres viennent de paraitre (textes etablis, presentes et
annotes par Francoise Bonnal-Verges) :

FRERES DE SAINT-GABRIEL, Iconographie des signes (1853-1854), ISBN

*********************************************************************

CALL FOR PAPERS

STUDENT RESEARCH WORKSHOP at ACL-07

June 25th-27th, 2007

Prague, Czech Republic

Submission deadline: January 23, 2007

*********************************************************************

 

1. General Invitation for Submissions

 

The Student Research Workshop is an established tradition at ACL
conferences. The workshop provides a venue for student researchers
investigating topics in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language
Processing to present their work and to receive feedback both from the
general audience and from selected panelists - experienced researchers
who prepare in-depth comments and questions in advance of the
presentation.

 

We invite all student researchers to submit their work to the
workshop. As the main goal of the workshop is to provide feedback, the
emphasis is on work in progress. Original and unpublished research is
therefore invited on all aspects of computational linguistics
including, but not limited to, the following topic areas:

 

. pragmatics and discourse

. semantics and lexicons

. syntax and grammars

. phonetics, phonology, and morphology

. linguistic, mathematical, and psychological models of language

. information retrieval, information extraction, and question
  answering

. summarization and paraphrasing

. speech recognition and speech synthesis

. corpus-based language modeling

. multi-lingual processing, machine translation, and translation aids

. spoken and written natural language interfaces and dialogue systems

. multi-modal language processing and multimedia systems

. narrative understanding systems

 

The main conference also features tutorials, workshops, and
demos. More information on these can be found at the main ACL-07 page,
http://www.acl2007.org/.

 

2. Submission Requirements

 

The emphasis of the workshop is to provide beginner researchers with
the opportunity of presenting their work in a formal
setting. Submission will therefore normally be open only to students
who have settled on their thesis direction but who still have
significant research left to do; those students in the final stages of
their thesis and those who have already presented at an ACL/EACL/NAACL
Student Research Workshop should submit to the main conference
instead.

 

The papers should describe original work, still in progress. Papers
should clearly indicate directions for future research wherever
appropriate. The papers may have more than one author; however, all
authors MUST be students (graduate or undergraduate). Papers submitted
are eligible only if they have not been presented at any other meeting
with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being
submitted in parallel to other conferences or workshops must indicate
this on the submission page.

 

3. Submission Procedure

 

Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and
should not exceed six (6) pages, including references. We strongly
recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word Style
files tailored for this year's conference. These will be available
from the web pages of ACL-07. A description of the format is also
available in case you are unable to use these style files
directly. Submission must be electronic. The only accepted format for
submitted papers is Adobe PDF. More details regarding the submission
procedure will be posted on the workshop website.

 

4. Reviewing Procedure

 

Reviewing of papers submitted to the Student Workshop will be managed
by the Student Workshop Co-Chairs, with the assistance of a team of
reviewers. Each submission will be matched with a mixed panel of
student and senior researchers for review. The final acceptance
decision will be based on the results of the review.

 

Note that reviewing of papers will be blind; therefore, please make
sure your paper shows the title, but no author information. You should
likewise not have any self-identifying references anywhere in the
paper submitted for review. For example, rather than this: "We showed
previously (Smith, 2001), ...", use citations such as: "Smith (2001)
previously showed ...".

 

5. Schedule

 

The papers must be submitted no later than 5pm US Eastern time January
23, 2007 (10pm GMT January 23, 2007). Late submissions will be
automatically disqualified. Acknowledgment will be e-mailed soon after
receipt.  Notification of acceptance will be sent to authors (by
e-mail) on March 23, 2007. Detailed formatting guidelines for the
preparation of the final camera-ready copy will be provided to authors
with their acceptance notice.

 

Important Dates:

 

Paper submission deadline: January 23, 2007

Notification of acceptance: March 23, 2007

Camera ready papers due: April 27, 2007

Conference date: June 25-27, 2007

 

6. Travel Grants

 

Some funding will be available for students whose work is accepted to
the Student Research Workshop. For more information about travel
grants, please contact the Co-Chairs of the Student Research Workshop.

 

7. Contact Information

 

If you need to contact the Co-Chairs of the Student Research Workshop,

*** About NEOLOGOS ***

NEOLOGOS, a project funded by the French government within the
Technolangue programme aimed at designing speech resources for the
development and the assessment of French speech recognition and speech
synthesis systems: the PAIDIALOGOS AND IDIOLOGOS databases.

PAIDIALOGOS is the result of a collection of French child and teenage
voices, aged 7 to 17, equally divided into boys and girls, and
representative of the different regions in France.
350 speakers were recorded over the GSM telephone network and 650 over
the fixed telephone network.

IDIOLOGOS tried to optimize the database contents in terms of
diversity of the recorded voices, while reducing the number of
recorded speakers.  Its goal was to build a reference database for
French adult voices.

A description of the project is available at:
 http://www.technolangue.net/article.php3?id_article=83
 <http://www.technolangue.net/article.php3?id_article=203>(in French
 only).

 

*** About Technolangue ***

Technolangue is a French inter-ministerial-funded action (Ministry of
Research and New Technologies, Ministry of Industry and Ministry of
Culture and Communication). This programme provides access to a number
of tools and data necessary to develop technologies and to enable the
use of standard methodologies in the field.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONTEXT 07 Workshops:

CONTEXT 07 invites proposals for the workshop program. Workshops will
be held on August 20-21 immediately prior to the main program of the
conference.


GENERAL INFORMATION

The main goal of the CONTEXT 07 workshops is to stimulate and
facilitate an active exchange on unique and interdisciplinary
applications, ideas, approaches, and methods about specific topics in
the general area of Modeling and Using Context. The Workshops provide
a setting that fosters informal discussion and active engagement among
attendees. Researchers from all disciplines are invited to submit
proposals for workshop for review. Workshops on specific relevant
aspects of broader topics and newly evolving areas of Context are
particularly encouraged.

Workshops in general will be one full day in duration, exceptionally
lasting half a day or two days. Format and content of each workshop
will largely be determined by each workshop's organizing
committee. Proposals for "mini-conference" style workshops are
discouraged and ample time should be allotted for general
discussion. Workshop organizers and attendees must register for the
main CONTEXT 07 conference!

For presenting workshop summaries to all conference attendees, a time
slot of about 10 minutes each will be provided in coordination with
the main conference's regular sessions. These summaries should be
presented by at least one of the workshop's organizers.


SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS

To propose a workshop for CONTEXT 07, you will submit a full proposal
of at most 5 pages containing the following information:

 * The proposed title of the workshop;
 * A brief description of the technical issues the workshop addresses;
 * A brief discussion on target audience and relevance to CONTEXT 07;
 * A preliminary workshop agenda/schedule, including desired duration;
 * A description of the intended workshop format and style;
 * A description of paper review process and acceptance standards;
 * Potential program committee members, including their affiliations;
 * Number of expected and, if available, a list of interested attendees;
 * Intended means of advertising the workshop;
 * Related workshops recently held, with description and location;
 * Contact information, including the names, postal addresses, phone
   numbers, and email addresses of the proposed workshop organizing
   committee. The committee should consist of three or four people
   knowledgeable about the technical issues to be addressed and,
   ideally, not being from the same institution;
 * Brief notes on each member of the organizing committee and their
   recent work relating to the technical issues addressed.

All proposals should be submitted by electronic mail to the CONTEXT 07
workshop chair as PDF file as soon as possible but no later than
January 31, 2007 at:

  context07 at workshop.hm

Proposals will be reviewed by the program committee and prospective
organizers will be notified of their decision no later than February
15, 2006.


RESPONSIBILITIES OF CONTEXT 07 AND WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS

For all accepted proposals, CONTEXT 07 will be responsible for:

 * Providing a meeting place for the workshop;
 * Determining the workshop date and time;
 * Duplicating working notes.

Workshop organizers will be responsible for the following:

 * Setting up a web site for the workshop;
 * Advertising the workshop and issuing a call for papers/participation;
 * Review and select presentations and papers;
 * Providing the complete workshop's working notes as single PDF file;
 * Ensure registration of workshop organizers and participants to the
   main conference;
 * Arrange for special requirements with the CONTEXT 07 Workshop Chair
   no later than July 18, 2007.

The workshop's call for papers should clarify the process by which the
organizing committee will review and select the papers and
presentations for being accepted. Additionally, the procedure, form,
and dates for submissions should be included. It is recommended to
adopt the deadlines for submissions and notifications from the list of
important dates as given below.

CONTEXT 07 reserves the right to cancel any workshop if the above
responsibilities are not fulfilled, or if too few attendees register
for the workshop. In special cases, the CONTEXT 07 program committee
may suggest the consolidation of workshops, to prevent the need for
cancellation.

The decision on the acceptance of workshops to be included in the
final CONTEXT 07 program will be based upon multiple factors, among
others, scientific and/or technical interest of the topic, the
proposal's quality, distinctness and balance of the workshop's topics,
and the capacity of the conference workshop program.

==================================================================

         CALL FOR PAPERS

         ESWC 2007
         4th European Semantic Web Conference

         3 - 7 June 2007
         Innsbruck (Austria)

The vision of the Semantic Web is to enhance today's web via the
exploitation of machine-processable meta data. The explicit
representation of the semantics of data, enriched with domain theories
(Ontologies), will enable a web that provides a qualitatively new
level of service. It will weave together a large network of human
knowledge and makes this knowledge machine-processable.  Various
automated services will help the users to achieve their goals by
accessing and processing information in machine-understandable
form. This network of knowledge systems will ultimately lead to truly
intelligent systems, which will be employed for various specialized
reasoning subsystems to accomplish complex tasks. Many technologies
and methodologies are being developed within Artificial Intelligence,
Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, Databases, Multimedia
Systems, Distributed Systems, Software Engineering and Information
Systems that can contribute towards the realization of this vision.

The 4th Annual European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2007) will
present the latest results in research and application of Semantic Web
technologies, including knowledge mark-up languages, Semantic Web
services, and ontology management. ESWC 2007 will also feature a
special industry-oriented event, a forum for gaining a better
understanding of these new technologies and their business
aspects. The conference will offer a tutorial program to get up to
speed with European and global developments in this exciting new area.

Several distinguished scientists will give an invited talk at the
conference; among them, prof. Stefano Ceri (Tech. Univ. of Milan,
Italy), prof. Georg Gottlob (Oxford Univ., UK), prof. Ning Zhong
(Maebashi Institute of Technology, Japan).

ESWC 2007 is sponsored by ESSI - a group of European Commission 6th
Framework Programme projects. Together these projects aim to improve
world-wide research and standardisation in the area of the Semantic
Web. For more information on ESSI, please visit www.essi-cluster.org.


Submissions

ESWC 2007 welcomes the submission of excellent original research and
application papers dealing with all aspects of the Semantic Web,
particularly those related to the subject areas indicated by the
topics below. We particularly encourage the submission of papers on
industrial efforts and experiences with Semantic Web projects. We
encourage theoretical, methodological, empirical, and applications
papers.

The proceedings of this conference will be published in Springer's
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Paper submission and
reviewing for ESWC 2007 will be electronic, via the conference Web
site: http://www.eswc2007.org/.  Papers, due 15 December, 2006, should
not exceed fifteen (15) pages in Springer LNCS format.

Deadline: March 2, 2007

CALL

We invite the submission of papers for the forthcoming NooJ
conference, to be held in Barcelona, Spain, June 7 - 9 2007 at the
Universidad Aut?noma de Barcelona.

NooJ is a linguistic development environment that includes tools to
construct and maintain large-coverage lexical resources, morphological
and syntactic grammars. Dictionaries and grammars are applied to texts
in order to locate morphological, lexical and syntactic patterns,
remove ambiguities, tag words, extract semantic entities, perform
automatic Machine Translation, etc.

NooJ can build lemmatized concordances of large texts from
Finite-State Automata and Transducers, Context-Free grammars and
Recursive Transition Networks, and can accordingly perform
transformation operations on texts in cascade to recusively annotate
texts, which gives it the power of a Turing machine.

NooJ is based on the Object Oriented "Component Programming" .NET
framework. Its most exclusive characteristics are:

-- NooJ's linguistic engine uses an annotation system synchronized to
the text, that allows morphological, syntactic and semantic grammars
to be applied to texts without modifying the original text; this
allows linguists to describe various phenomena independantly, and
apply the corresponding grammars in cascade;


-- its integration of its inflection & derivation engine into its
syntactic engine allows linguists to program Harris-type
transformations.

NooJ includes processes texts and corpora in over 100+ file formats,
including all variants of UNICODE, ASCII, HTML, MS-OFFICE, etc. ; its
linguistic engine is multilingual ; it can import information from,
and export its annotations back to XML documents ; NooJ command-line
program and direct Object Oriented API make it much easier to
integrate any of its functionalities into other applications, etc.

NooJ is used as a linguistic development platform, an information
retrieval system, a terminological extractor, as well as to teach
linguistics and computational linguistics.

To learn more about NooJ: www.nooj4nlp.net.

As in previous INTEX/NooJ conferences, this meeting will be the
opportunity for NooJ users, as well as other researchers interested in
NLP, to meet and to exchange their experience of development, research
or teaching, including computational morphology, lexicon and
quantitative linguistics. It will also be the occasion to present and
discover the recent developments of NooJ.

To submit a paper, please send a one-page abstract before March 2,
2007 to lab.flexsem at uab.es. The abstract, in French or in English,
should contain the title of the article, the name, institution,
surface mail and electronic address of each co-author.

All papers will be reviewed by the program committee. Authors will be
notified whether their papers are accepted or rejected end of april,
2007. The timeslot is 30 minutes for presentations, including 5
minutes for discussions.

Bonjour ? tous,

J'ai le plaisir de vous inviter ? ma soutenance de th?se, qui aura
lieu le vendredi 24 novembre 2006 ? 10h (amphi. A002, Universit? de
Technologie de Troyes), ainsi qu'au pot qui suivra la pr?sentation.

Ga?lle Lortal - M?diatiser l'annotation pour une herm?neutique
num?rique : AnT&CoW, un collecticiel pour une coop?ration via
l'annotation de documents num?riques -

Membres du Jury :
Rapporteurs :

Examinateurs :

Directrices de th?se :
 Dr. Myriam Lewkowicz, Tech-CICO, Troyes
 Dr. Amalia Todirascu-Courtier, LILPA, Strasbourg II

R?sum? : 

Suite au projet CNRS/ PI-TCAN Mediannote, centr? sur les activit?s
coop?ratives en conception m?canique, le projet Mediannote, dans
lequel s'inscrivent nos travaux, se concentre sur l'annotation dans
ces activit?s. Dans un contexte o? les ?changes m?diatis?s
s'accroissent, le document num?rique devient central. Pour soutenir
les ?changes et la construction d'une interpr?tation collective autour
de ce document, nous proposons d'instrumenter l'annotation - d?finie
comme un fragment de discours ? propos d'un texte, un support ?
l'argumentation -. Nous proposons donc de concevoir un collecticiel
pour annoter collectivement des documents num?riques et ainsi soutenir
l'herm?neutique num?rique.

L'annotation comme support au travail coop?ratif est envisag?e ? la
fois comme un objet qui rel?ve de l'?tiquette et du commentaire et
comme une activit? qui rel?ve de la communication, de l'indexation et
de l'?laboration de discours. La conception de notre collecticiel se
fonde sur un mod?le d'activit? d'annotation qui souligne la dimension
interactionnelle et coop?rative de l'annotation. Cette d?marche guid?e
par les mod?les est enrichie par l'utilisation de corpus qui permet de
conserver l'utilisateur final au centre de nos pr?occupations. Nous
pr?sentons une maquette du collecticiel, AnT&CoW, utilisant des outils
de TAL pour le soutien de l'utilisateur ? diff?rents niveaux : soutien
? la construction de classification et aide ? l'indexation. Une
premi?re ?tape d'?valuation de cette maquette est ?galement pr?sent?e,
une validation des fonctionnalit?s.

*****************************
R?sum? :

Les ressources lexico-s?mantiques, telles que les th?saurus, les
terminologies ou les ontologies, visent ? organiser les connaissances
en rendant explicites divers types de relations s?mantiques comme la
synonymie ou la sp?cialisation. Le co?t de la construction manuelle de
telles ressources reste ?lev?, ce qui explique l'essor des m?thodes
d'acquisition automatique de connaissances, allant de l'extraction des
termes repr?sentant les unit?s de connaissance ? l'identification des
relations s?mantiques qui les relient. Nous nous int?ressons dans
cette th?se au r?le que peut jouer la morphologie, c'est-?-dire la
structure interne des mots, pour l'acquisition de telles connaissances
? partir de corpus de textes de sp?cialit?, essentiellement m?dicaux,
et dans une perspective multilingue.

Nous pr?sentons deux syst?mes d'acquisition de connaissances
morphologiques non supervis?s, caract?ris?s par des approches
diff?rentes. Le premier proc?de par segmentation des mots, tandis que
le second regroupe les mots dans des familles morphologiques.

Nous explorons ensuite les utilisations possibles de ce type
d'informations pour l'acquisition de termes et de relations
s?mantiques.  Nous proposons notamment une m?thode de pond?ration et
de visualisation des mots cl?s extraits de corpus de textes de
sp?cialit? en fonction de leur famille morphologique. Nous d?finissons
?galement des sch?mas, bas?s sur les r?sultats de la segmentation
morphologique, afin de d?couvrir des relations s?mantiques telles que
la sp?cialisation et la cohyponymie.

Sylvain Loiseau

R?sum? :

Cette th?se se fixe l'objectif de d?crire le discours philosophique ?
travers les propri?t?s de ses textes. Le discours est entendu comme
une norme d?terminant l'organisation au palier textuel de tous les
niveaux de la description. Les corr?lations entre ces niveaux sont
analys?es ? partir d'un corpus constitu? autour de Gilles Deleuze et
annot? ? plusieurs niveaux de description (morphologique,
morphosyntaxique, lexical et ?ditorial notamment). L'acc?s ? la
complexit? empirique du corpus permet de montrer l'importance des
normes discursives aussi bien au niveau morphologique qu'? celui des
macro-structures s?mantiques. Il permet de caract?riser une textualit?
philosophique ? mixte ?, relevant des cat?gories descriptives des
discours litt?raires comme des discours techniques. L'influence des
normes idiolectales et leur interaction avec la normativit? discursive
sont ?galement examin?es. Le cadre th?orique d'une linguistique des
normes et le cadre m?thodologique des linguistiques de corpus
permettent donc de faire du discours philosophique un observable et de
discuter en retour les crit?res typologiques qui n'en tiendraient pas
compte.

R?sum?:

En l'espace d'une grosse d?cennie, le domaine du traitement
automatique des langues (TAL) s'est trouv? profond?ment transform? par
la (re)d?couverte et la diffusion de m?thodes dites "? base de
corpus". En appliquant des mod?les statistiques de plus en plus
sophistiqu?s ? des corpus de plus en plus volumineux, il est apparu
que l'on pouvait b?tir des outils de traitement efficaces, r?pondant ?
une tr?s large gamme de probl?mes, notamment des probl?mes de
d?sambuigu?sation.  Au compte de ces m?thodes, en particulier, leur
capacit? ? se passer de toute repr?sentation explicite de
connaissances linguistiques, les rendant ? m?me de traiter des corpus
issus de domaines, de genres, de registres, voire de langues tr?s
vari?s.

Un rapide survol historique de cette ?volution, illustr? par des
exemples d'applications emprunt?s au domaine de la fouille de textes,
permettra de relever un certain nombre de principes communs ? ces
outils, mais ?galement de souligner des difficult?s et des travers
qu'ils partagent: obligation de reformuler des probl?mes comme des
probl?mes de d?cision, difficult?s li?es ? l'estimation en tr?s grande
dimension en pr?sence de bruit et de donn?es ?parses, etc.

Par contraste, l'apprentissage par analogie est une m?thode
d'apprentissage symbolique qui cherche ? exploiter le caract?re
syst?matique des oppositions formelles observ?es dans certains types
de donn?es linguistiques. La validit? de cette d?marche s'appuie sur
des arguments aussi bien linguistiques qu'empiriques, qui r?pondent en
partie aux objections adress?es aux mod?lisations statistiques.

En pr?sentant mon interpr?tation de l'apprentissage par analogie, je
montrerai qu'en partant d'une d?finition g?n?rale de la notion
d'opposition formelle envisag? comme un rapport de proportion, il est
possible de d?river des algorithmes efficaces pour calculer et
r?soudre des proportions analogiques, donnant lieu ? un m?canisme
g?n?rique d'apprentissage par analogie. Ce m?canisme sera illustr? par
des exp?riences conduites sur diverses t?ches d'acquisition de
r?gularit?s lexicales. Je discuterai enfin, dans ma conclusion, des
perspectives ouvertes par ces travaux.

J'ai le plaisir de vous inviter ? la soutenance de ma th?se qui aura
lieu le jeudi 7 d?cembre ? 9h30 en salle des Professeurs ?
l'Universit? de Provence.

Titre:
El?ments de grammaire du fran?ais pour une th?orie descriptive et  
formelle de la langue

Rapporteurs:
Jean-Yves Morin, Professeur, Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al
Sylvain Kahane, Professeur, MoDyCo / Universit? Paris X

Examinateurs:
Henri-Jos? Deulofeu, Professeur, DeLIC / Universit? de Provence
Christian Retor?, Professeur, LaBRI / Universit? Bordeaux 1
Eric Wehrli, Professeur, LATL / Universit? de Gen?ve

Directeur:
Philippe Blache, Directeur de recherches, LPL / Universit? de Provence

R?sum?:

Nous proposons un mod?le de grammaire bas? sur une th?orie originale
de la langue, et repr?sent? formellement. Cette th?se s'articule en
trois parties.
Dans la premi?re partie nous dressons un bilan des positions  
th?oriques sous-jacentes ? un certain nombre de grammaires formelles  
coexistantes, afin de faire ressortir quatre ?l?ments dont la  
conjonction fait de notre proposition une approche nouvelle: le non- 
g?n?rativisme, la non-modularit?, la non-lexicalisation et la multi- 
dimensionnalit?. Nous pr?sentons ensuite le formalisme des Grammaires  
de Propri?t?s (GP), que nous avons utilis? pour repr?senter notre  
grammaire. A la suite de cela nous introduisons notre mod?le de  
grammaire, bas? sur les choix th?oriques pr?c?dents et formalis? en  
GP, et nous proposons quelques formalisations d'autres mod?les afin  
d'illustrer les possibilit?s de GP et l'originalit? de notre mod?le.
Dans la seconde partie nous proposons un ensemble de descriptions  
syntaxiques du fran?ais bas?es sur notre mod?le et constituant un  
noyau de grammaire; nous y pr?sentons notamment les constructions  
nominales, verbales, adjectivales, propositionnelles, ainsi que les  
entassements paradigmatiques (coordinations et disfluences).
Enfin, dans la troisi?me partie nous illustrons le fonctionnement  
notre proposition avec l'analyse de quelques ph?nom?nes syntaxiques,  
dont notamment le traitement des pronoms clitiques dans les  
constructions verbales, et celui des coordinations et des disfluences.
Ce travail apporte ? toute une partie de la linguistique descriptive  
une validation par son expression formelle, et ? la linguistique  
formelle l'int?gration de descriptions syntaxiques jusqu'ici non  
encore prises en consid?ration. En outre, elle apporte une validation  
de GP en tant que formalisme linguistique en montrant ce qu'il permet  
par sa souplesse de repr?sentation.

La soutenance sera suivie d'un ap?ritif-fest?toire, qui se d?roulera  
selon toute probabilit? juste devant la salle sus-cit?e (ou dans le  
patio devant le th??tre Vitez s'il fait particuli?rement beau).

Bonjour ? tous,

seront dans le coin) ? ma soutenance de th?se qui aura lieu le 1er
d?cembre 2006 ? l'Universit? de Provence salle C212 ? partir de

Michel Pierrard (Universit? de Bruxelles [VUB], rapporteur)
Fr?d?ric Sabio (Universit? de Provence, examinateur)

R?sum?

Notre ?tude vient combler une lacune en linguistique fran?aise,
puisque le mot quand n'a jamais fait l'objet d'une description
syntaxique sp?cifique, contrairement ? d'autres mots de la famille
qu-. Pourtant, m?me sur des exemples consid?r?s comme prototypiques de
la "subordination", des questions int?ressantes li?es ? l'analyse de
son statut syntaxique ou cat?goriel subsistent. Il suffit de consulter
quelques grammaires pour se rendre compte de la diversit? des
traitements propos?s et de la large palette d'emplois qu'offre cette
"conjonction". Afin de d?crire l'ensemble de ses fonctionnements, nous
avons opt? pour une ?tude sur des exemples tir?s de vastes corpus
?crits comme oraux non clos et analys?s dans un cadre descriptif
inspir? de l'approche pronominale (Blanche-Benveniste et alii,
1984). Ainsi, nous montrerons notamment que quand poss?de la
distribution d'une proforme et qu'il intervient dans un large spectre
de relations que la notion de "subordination" ne permet pas
d'appr?hender. Il r?sulte de notre travail un cadre apte ? d?crire
l'ensemble des fonctionnements des mots qu-, du point de vue de la
cat?gorie comme des relations qui relient la construction en qu- au
contexte.

*******************************************************************

7th International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVA'07)
   Plus GALA - Gathering of Life-like Agents
           17th - 19th September 2007
               Paris, France
           http://iva07.ntua.gr

           1st Call for Papers
*******************************************************************

SCOPE

Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs) are autonomous, graphically embodied
agents in an interactive, 2D or 3D virtual environment. They are able
to interact intelligently with the environment, other IVAs, and
especially with human users.

The conference is an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and
practitioners in computer graphics, animation, computer games, virtual
environments, artificial intelligence, natural language processing,
cognitive modeling, human-computer interaction and artificial life.
Since the first IVA back in 1999 firm lines of research have been
established and there is much that the graphics and AI communities can
learn from each other.

The domain of Intelligent Virtual Agents has become much more diverse
and now encompasses a wide range of disciplines; cognitive and social
psychology, communication models (conversational skills, interaction
loops, conversational analysis), non-verbal communication, sociology
(modeling human / IVA societies), HCI (intelligent user interfaces,
gesture/body tracking interfaces), design and arts (e.g., interactive
installations with IVAs), and numerous application domains.

While initial research often focused on the use of IVAs in virtual
environments, they are now increasingly used in web-based interfaces,
personal computing devices and interactive television. The rapid
advances in the field have enabled it to be applied in both in
research and industrial contexts. IVAs can provide appealing
characters for games and entertainment. They can also be used in novel
user interfaces or even as tools of psychological research.

IVA'07 will be a multidisciplinary forum for researchers and
practitioners from academia and industry with an interest in the
design, implementation, and evaluation of IVAs and IVA
applications. We aim for a lively program of timely, high-quality
presentations and demonstrations to discuss the state of the art and
future of Intelligent Virtual Agents. Papers will be published in the
Springer-Verlag LNAI (Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence)
series.

This year, IVA'07 and ACII'07 (http://gaips.inesc-id.pt/acii2007/) are
happening close to each other. While we do encourage submitting to
both conferences we do highlight there are differences in topics of
interest in each conference. We highly advise authors to read them
carefully.  Papers submitted to both conferences should be clearly
different in their scope and topic.

IVA'07 will also host GALA - The Gathering of Life-like Agents - see 
http://hmi.ewi.utwente.nl/gala/

Constitu? des contributions des sp?cialistes des applications de la
terminologie ? l'acc?s ? l'information cet ouvrage examine l'apport
sp?cifique de cette th?matique aux m?tiers de l'information. Ces
contributions couvrent des domaines aussi divers que l'organisation,
l'appropriation et la m?diation des savoirs , les techniques de
rep?rage des unit?s terminologiques au travers les activit?s
d'indexation et de recherche d'information , l'organisation des
connaissances et la repr?sentation du contenu dans les syst?mes
d'information avanc?s et multilingues. L'ensemble des contributions
met l'accent sur le r?le strat?gique de la terminologie dans ces
domaines. De mani?re g?n?rale, ce livre peut ?tre utile aux chercheurs
- tant confirm?s que d?butants - qui souhaitent disposer d'une
synth?se sur les principales approches et travaux portant sur la
terminologie et son utilisation dans l'acc?s ? l'information pour leur
permettre de situer leurs propres travaux. Ce livre se veut aussi un
outil p?dagogique pour des enseignants et formateurs.
