Un enjeu scientifique important sera de déterminer dans quelle mesure la perspective combinatoire permet de structurer un champ sémantique comme celui des émotions. Les applications d'une telle approche sont évidemment nombreuses, par exemple, l'enseignement structuré de la phraséologie en Français Langue Etrangère (FLE), la classification automatique des unités lexicales en Traitement Automatique du Langage (TAL) ou un traitement plus systématique en lexicographie.

Plus précisément, cette architecture fournit un environnement permettant de construire une représentation sémantique sous-spécifiée (Predicate Logic Unplugged de (Bos, 1995)) à partir d'une grammaire et d'un énoncé. Afin de faciliter la gestion de grammaires de taille reelle, la plateforme SemTAG intègre un compilateur de métagrammaires. Le rôle de ce compilateur est de produire semi-automatiquement une grammaire à partir d'une description factorisée. Cette description correspond à (a) une hiérarchie de fragments d'arbres et (b) des combinaisons de ces fragments au moyen d'un langage de contrôle. De plus, chaque arbre ainsi produit peut être equipé d'une interface syntaxe / sémantique à la (Gardent et Kallmeyer, 2003). La construction semantique est réalisée à partir du résultat de l'analyse syntaxique. Cette analyse est fournie par un analyseur syntaxique tabulaire généré automatiquement à partir de la grammaire d'entrée au moyen du système DyALog (De La Clergerie, 2005). Cet analyseur produit une forêt de dérivation, qui encode toutes les dérivations, et a partir desquelles les unifications des indexes sémantiques sont extraites. Cette plate-forme a été evaluée en termes de couverture sémantique sur la test-suite TSNLP.

TOPIC AND MOTIVATION: The recent political and economic changes in Central and Eastern Europe and the related on-going enlargement of the European Union brings into focus new cultures and languages. Among them, the languages from the Balto-Slavonic group have an outstanding role because of their rich cultural heritage and the widespread use - over 400 million speakers. The topic of the workshop addresses Natural Language Processing (NLP) for the Balto-Slavonic languages, with the focus on Information Extraction (IE) and enabling technologies for this language family. The task of IE is to identify a predefined set of concepts from natural language text. The spectrum of IE tasks ranges from named-entity recognition, through relation extraction and co-reference resolution to the identification of complex events and cross-document entity profile extraction. Although a considerable amount of IE-related work exists, most of the studies are concentrated on a few major languages. Research on this topic, as well as on general-purpose NLP tools in the context of Balto-Slavonic languages, is still in its early stage and is progressing relatively slowly. Due to some specific phenomena like the highly inflectional character and relatively free word order, a construction of IE systems and other language processing tools (question-answering, text summarization, machine translation) for these languages is an intriguing and challenging task. This workshop can be seen as the follow-up to the successful workshop on Information Extraction for Slavonic and Other Central and Eastern European Languages (http://lml.bas.bg/IESL2003) held in conjunction with the RANLP 2003 conference. It is also related to the EACL 2003 workshop on Morphological Processing of Slavic Languages (http://nl.ijs.si/mpsl03). In particular, we would strongly encourage submissions describing systems, resources or solutions that are made available to the wider public, as these would help to promote computational linguistics applications for these languages. AREAS OF INTEREST include, but are not limited to: A. Specific challenges for Balto-Slavonic NLP, in particular in the context of IE and enabling technologies - text segmentation - morphological analysis - morphology models - morpho-syntactic disambiguation - named-entity recognition - named-entity disambiguation (e.g., geo-referencing) - named-entity lemmatisation - term and keyword extraction - name variant recognition and merging - syntactic parsing and chunking - co-reference resolution - word sense disambiguation - corpus-based knowledge acquisition B. Multilingual IE frameworks and techniques applied to these languages - tools and resources (freely available for research purposes will be preferred) - experience with, and evaluation of, linguistic data and processing resources - comparative evaluation between languages C. IE solutions for these languages: - scenario template filling / event extraction - relation extraction - automatic pattern learning - corpus studies and statistical techniques for IE - IE from Web sources - IE-based ontology population - IE evaluation - IE techniques for Question/Answering and Answer Extraction - Utilisation of IE-based techniques in other NLP applications INTENDED AUDIENCE The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on NLP for Balto-Slavonic languages, in particular on IE and core technologies supporting IE for these languages. The workshop will give an opportunity to exchange ideas and experience, to discuss hard-to-tackle problems in this field of research, and to make available resources more widely known. SUBMISSION Papers should describe original work and should indicate the state of completion of the reported results. In particular, an overlap with previously published work should be clearly mentioned. Submissions will be judged on correctness, novelty, technical strength, clarity of presentation, usability, and significance/relevance to the workshop. Submissions should follow the two-column format of the ACL 2007 main-conference proceedings and should not exceed eight (8) pages, including references. We recommend to use either the LaTeX style file or the Microsoft-Word style file, which can be found at http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/acl2007/styles. The reviewing will be blind. Therefore, the paper should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-citations and other references that could reveal the author's identity should be avoided. Submission will be electronic. The only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe PDF. Papers must be submitted no later than April 9, 2006 using the submission webpage http://langtech.jrc.it/BSNLP2007/submission (or http://www.softconf.com/acl07/ACL07-WS12/submit.html). Submissions will be reviewed by 3 members of the Program Committee. Authors of accepted papers will receive guidelines regarding how to produce camera-ready versions of their papers for inclusion in the ACL workshop proceedings. IMPORTANT DATES Workshop Paper Submission deadline: extented to April 9 Notification of Acceptance: April 30 Camera-ready Version: May 9 Workshop: June 29, 2007. LOCATION Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is located in the centre of Europe. It is one of the most valuable historical city reserves in Europe. The historical core of the city is listed in the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Register. The workshop itself will take place in the TOP HOTEL Praha, located in the quiet neighbourhood of the Prague 4 district, only 15-20 minutes from the historic centre of Prague. Prague is easily reachable by car, bus or train from central Europe (only 3-hour drive from Vienna or Budapest or 4 hours from Berlin or Munich), by cheap flights from the rest of Europe, and by several direct flights from overseas.

Three positions will be available. Successful candidates are expected to carry out work on multiple-choice test item generation, with their research covering, but not limited to, one or more of the following areas: (1) syntactic processing for real-world NLP applications (with particular reference to multiple choice time item generation); (2) development of a multiple choice test item generation system for Spanish; (3) proposal of high quality distractors for multiple-choice test items in the biomedical domain. Students involved in area (1) should direct their activities toward the accurate syntactic-semantic analysis of complex sentences, proposing a treatment which takes issues such as co-ordination and punctuation into account. This research will be applied to a real-world NLP application such as information extraction in the domain of biomedicine. Area (2) will address the implementation and tuning of a Spanish-language system that will be drawn from the existing system for English. A good command of the Spanish language will be vital for this task together with excellent programming skills and the ability to develop and harness lexical and ontological resources in this context. The integration of additional NLP techniques for Spanish such as named entity recognition or temporal processing will also be addressed in this area. Research in area (3) may involve the development of new processing units for entailment recognition and temporal processing. These units will be used to derive causal relationships in biomedical texts in order to enhance the quality of automatically proposed distractors closely related to the focus of the test items. The student's activities may also include automatic recognition of textual entailment as well as approaches to the identification of morphological and lexical similarity. In their studies, the students will have access to and will benefit from all the resources developed in an existing related project. This includes the opportunity to conduct user-evaluation, which will be very beneficial in the development of the system modules. In return, part of the PhD work will be integrated in the system to be developed during the project. Further information on related research can be found in the papers: Mitkov, R. and Ha, L. A.

This workshop is devoted to the management of health information for the general public that can be found on the web, i.e. the management of health websites. Following the recent development of the web, the situation in the medical arena is evolving, particularly since the content proposed by such websites can have a direct impact on the user's well-being. Indeed, millions of documents are available on the web, and users are often overwhelmed by the mass of information. Moreover, the quality of information is uneven - a fact sometimes ignored by users. In this context, content reliability must be controlled in order to help users to efficiently access information that is most valuable to them. The objective of this workshop is to address different aspects related to the problem of controlling the reliability of health websites. - Initiatives aimed at evaluating the reliability of health websites: ie., referencing, accreditation, popularity, self-regulation, collaboration in the analysis and comparison of health websites. - Ways and means of rendering the control and evaluation visible and available to users: labels, seals, portals, P3P protocol and tools, etc. - Criteria to determine the quality of health websites: transparency of information and information providers, document readability, traceability of content, quality of medical content, privacy, etc. - Automation of quality assessment given the growing number of health websites. - Manual versus automatic quality assessment: advantages and limitations. - Solutions for dealing with the constantly changing content of health websites. - Qualifications and capabilities of persons assessing the content reliability of health websites. - Free versus lucrative solutions for the control of health website reliability. - Promoting the visibility of high quality health websites. - Multilingual issues of the reliability of health websites.

Prochaine conférence le vendredi 25 Mai 2007 de 14h à 16h. salle 131 au 30 rue Château des rentiers, 75013 Paris Selectional Mechanics in Language J. Pustejovsky Professeur Department of Computer Science 258 Volen Center for Complex Systems 415 South Street Waltham, MA 02454 USA em: jamesp at cs.brandeis.edu url: www.cs.brandeis.edu/~jamesp Abstract : This conference examines the behavior of selection in language. Selection is that property of a word or phrase which determines the paradigmatic behavior of its neighbors. Predicates select arguments; but what is selected for, a type, a feature, something else? Is selection defeasible? Do arguments themselves have any selectional properties? Do grammatical functions have selectional behavior? In this course, we study the formal mechanisms responsible for argument and adjunct selection in language. I will present a theory of lexically type-driven semantic selection that expands the operations available in composition. Building explicitly on Generative Lexicon's richer inventory of compositionality, I explore the type language and logic necessary to model the mechanics of selection. Words encode local context as typing information. The compositional rules of the language refer to these types. The operations possible during composition for these types are: i. selection, ii. accommodation, and iii. coercion (exploitation and introduction). As an illustration of this theory, I explore the phenomena of nominal and verbal polysemy, and verbal alternations. _________________________________________________ Laure Sarda LATTICE UMR 8094 CNRS ENS, 1 rue Maurice Arnoux F-92120 Montrouge Tel. 01 58 07 66 21 Fax. 01 58 07 66 29 e-mail : laure.sarda at ens.fr ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From pifchakagew at CHAKA.CA Fri Apr 13 08:58:12 2007 From: pifchakagew at CHAKA.CA (Mariana Romero) Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 07:58:12 -0100 Subject: Watch your body change with Anatrim Message-ID: Anatrim � The up-to-the-moment and most fascinating flesh loss product is now readily available � As were seen on CNN.

This theme should be interpreted inclusively: contributions from linguistics, computer science, psycholinguistics and related areas are welcome, and an interdisciplinary perspective is of particular interest. The collocation with the CONTEXT07 conference underlines the application of constraints for context comprehension and discourse modelling. Motivation ---------- Constraints are widely used in linguistics, computer science, and psychology. How they are used, however, varies widely according to the research domain: knowledge representation, cognitive modelling, problem solving mechanisms, etc. These different perspectives are complementary, each one adding a piece to the puzzle. For example, linguistics proposes in-depth descriptions implementing constraints in order to filter out structures by means of description languages, constraint ranking, etc. The constraint programming paradigm, on the other hand, shows that constraints have to be taken as a systematic whole and can thus play a role in building the structures (or can even replace structures). Finally, psycholinguistics investigates the role of constraint systems for cognitive processes in comprehension and production as well as addressing how they can be acquired. Invited speakers: ----------------- 2 or 3 distinguished researchers will be announced on the workshop web pages. Topics ------ The workshop seeks contributions from different areas working with constraints in relation to language including, but not limited to the topics . Constraints in human language comprehension and production . Context modelling and discourse interpretation . Acquisition of constraints . Constraints and learning . Cross-theoretical view of the notion of constraint . New advances in constraint-based linguistic theories . Constraint satisfaction (CS) technologies for NLP . Linguistic analysis and linguistic theories biased towards CS or constraint logic programming (CLP) . Application of CS or CLP for NLP . CS and CLP for other than textual or spoken languages, e.g., sign languages and biological, multimodal human-computer interaction, visual languages, . Probabilistic constraint-based reasoning Submissions ----------- Authors are invited to submit extended abstract or a full paper of up to 12 pages. Papers should be prepared as PDF files using the format for Springer's LNCS/LNAI series, http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html Each submission will be commented by two or three reviewers. Preliminary proceedings are distributed at the workshop and, depending on number and quality of submissions, a volume of revised and selected papers are under considerations at an international publisher.

Relativement à ces objets communs aux sciences de l'homme, les frontières disciplinaires ont-elles bougé ? L'ouvrage réunit des contributions au colloque organisé par l'Association des Sciences du Langage, le 10 décembre 2005, à l'École Normale Supérieure de la rue d'Ulm, sur le thème « Sciences du langage et sciences de l'homme ». Deux ans après le colloque « Mais que font les linguistes ? » qui a proposé un état des lieux dans le domaine des sciences du langage, on a orienté le débat vers le dialogue avec d'autres disciplines des sciences humaines en s'intéressant à la fois aux contenus scientifiques, notamment du point de vue épistémologique et terminologique, aux positions institutionnelles et à la valorisation des savoirs. Introduit par Franck Neveu et Sabine Pétillon, ce volume rassemble les textes de Guy Jucquois, Michel Hupet, Jean-Paul Bronckart, Marc Dominicy, Michele Prandi, Arlette Farge, Alice Krieg-Planque, Marc Arabyan et Gilbert Lazard.

At the beginning of the 7th Framework Program, recently launched by the European Commission, Human Language Technologies continue to be a challenge for computer science, linguistics and related fields as these technologies become an ever more essential element of our everyday technological environment. Since Ajdukiewicz, Tarski, Turing and Chomsky (i.e. since the very beginning of the Computer Age) these fields have influenced and stimulated each other. Technological, social and cultural globalization has created a favorable climate for the intensive exchange of novel ideas, concepts and solutions across initially distant disciplines. We aim at further contributing to this exchange and we invite you to join us at L&TC'07 in Poznañ, this year. I have pleasure to announce that Piek Vossen (University of Amsterdam) accepted our invitation to give the Keynote Speaker Talk at the conference. Zygmunt Vetulani L&TC'07 Chair vetulani at amu.edu.pl CONTACT Address 3rd Language & Technology Conference (L&T'07) Adam Mickiewicz University Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Department of Computer Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence ul. Umultowska 87 PL 61-614 Poznañ e-mail: ltc at amu.edu.pl www.ltc.amu.edu.p CONFERENCE TOPICS The conference program will include the following topics (a non-exclusive list): * electronic language resources and tools * formalisation of natural languages * parsing and other forms of NL processing * computer modelling of language competence * NL user modelling * NL understanding by computers * knowledge representation * WordNet technologies, ontologies (cf. L&TC WordNet Special Track) * man-machine NL interfaces * Logic Programming in Natural Language Processing * corpus linguistics * speech processing * NL applications in robotics * text-based information retrieval and extraction, question answering * question answering * tools and methodologies for developing multilingual systems * translation enhancement tools * methodological issues in HLT * prototype presentations * language-specific computational challenges for HLTs (especially for languages other than English) * HLT standards * HLT support for foreign language teaching * communicative intelligence * legal problems connected with HLTs (problems and challenges) * contribution of HLTs to the homeland security problems (application and legal aspects) (cf. L&TC Homeland Security Workshop) * vision papers in the field of HLT * HLT related policies You will have noted that we intend to continue traditional HLT interest areas (cf. L&TC'05 topics). You may also have observed that we have included a new dimension at the frontier between HLTs and the Homeland Security field. We invite authors working in this domain to contribute either on theoretical issues (e.g. legal aspects of development and application of HLTs) or technical developments (applications, software, language infrastructure and tools). Political and mature vision papers in this field are also welcome. (see the Homeland Security Workshop) This list is by no means closed and we are open to further proposals. The Program Committee is also open to suggestions concerning accompanying events (workshops, exhibits, panels, etc). Suggestions, ideas and observations may be addressed directly to the L&TC Chair by email (vetulani at amu.edu.pl). L&TC WORDNET SPECIAL TRACK The WordNet Special Track will be a part of the L&TC'07 event. It will be co-chaired by Karel Pala, Christiane Fellbaum and Piek Vossen.

La recherche dans ce domaine a été très intense ces dernières années surtout avec l'avènement du Web sémantique. Différentes problématiques y sont abordées : méthodologie de conception des ontologies, génération automatique des ontologies, représentation des ontologies modulaires/réparties/contextuelles, etc. Les journées JFO ont pour objectif de réunir les chercheurs, académiques et industriels, travaillant de près ou de loin sur ce domaine des ontologies pour en faire le point et en éclaircir les enjeux et les perspectives. Ces efforts se doivent d'être pérennisés d'autant plus que les utilisations et les apports attribués aux ontologies ne cessent de croître. En effet, de plus en plus de chercheurs (et d'industriels) utilisent (ou demandent à utiliser) des ontologies. Il nous semble donc nécessaire de réserver un cadre de réflexion exclusivement réservé à cette thématique et à tous ses différents aspects. Les JFO 07 proposent un tel cadre pour la communauté francophone. Ce cadre n'a d'intérêt que si les universitaires et les industriels actifs dans ce domaine confrontent leurs idées en vue d'arriver à bien positionner le rôle et la place des ontologies dans les systèmes d'information communicants. Les JFO se veulent aussi devenir un rendez-vous annuel pour les universitaires et les industriels pour s'échanger les points de vue, les savoir-faire et les retours sur expérience. Conférenciers invités. ====================== Aris M. Ouksel, Université de l'Illinois à Chicago, USA Guy Pierra, Université de Poitiers, France Thèmes. ====== Le comité de programme des JFO 07 sollicite la soumission d'articles scientifiques ou techniques originaux sur les thèmes suivants (mais pas exclusivement) : - Découverte de correspondances inter ontologies - Ontologies contextuelles, modulaires et réparties - Intégration et partitionnement dontologies - Ontologies et interopérabilité sémantique - Ontologies et services Web sémantiques - Ontologies et requêtes floues - Ontologies probabilistiques - Extraction d'ontologies à partir d'entrepôts de données - Méthodologies de création dontologies - Construction interactive et incrémentale d'ontologies réparties - Outils logiciels pour la construction et la vérification des ontologies - Ontologies multilingues, terminologies - Expériences de création d'ontologies : urbaine, médicale, géographique, - Utilisation des ontologies en milieu industriel Les soumissions doivent être au format PDF et respecter le modèle des revues Lavoisier-Hermès.

La vision du Web Sémantique initiée en 1998 par Sir Tim Berners-Lee a pour objectif de permettre une meilleure exploitation des informations disponibles sur le Web par les agents logiciels. Pour cela, les ressources, textuelles ou multimédias, doivent être sémantiquement étiquetées par des annotations structurées. Dans ce processus d'annotation sémantique, les ontologies jouent un rôle primordial puisqu'elles modélisent les concepts, attributs et relations utilisées pour annoter le contenu des ressources. Mais, il est tout aussi important que la base de connaissance, associée à cette ontologie, contienne les instances à utiliser pour l'annotation sémantique. C'est pourquoi la tâche de peuplement d'ontologie a pour but d'enrichir (semi-)automatiquement la base de connaissance avec les nouvelles instances de concepts, dattributs et de relations. La réalisation de ces deux tâches consiste à combiner les outils d'extraction d'information (EI) avec les outils de représentation des connaissances du WS. En effet, le principal mode de transfert de la connaissance se fait par l'utilisation du langage naturel dans les ressources documentaires. Malgré tout, il existe actuellement un fossé entre les formats de représentation des analyses linguistiques et ceux de représentation des connaissances. Cette thèse propose de combler ce fossé en concevant un médiateur capable de transformer les étiquettes linguistiques générées par les outils d'EI en des représentations plus formelles, annotations sémantiques des textes ou instances d'une ontologie donnée et relations entre celles-ci. L'enjeu consiste aussi bien à proposer une réflexion méthodologique sur l'interopérabilité des différentes technologies qu'une conception de solutions opérationnelles dans le monde des entreprises, et à plus large échelle du Web. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, nous avons donc conçu une démarche, nommée OntoPop pour « Ontology Population », qui met en place une passerelle reposant sur un ensemble de règles, dites « d'Acquisition de Connaissance » et sur un langage d'implémentation de ces règles, OPAL (Ontology Population and Annotation Language. Nous montrons comment cette passerelle peut être utilisée dans un cycle complet d'extraction d'information, d'enrichissement des ressources terminologiques et ontologiques, d'annotation sémantique et de mise à jour des lexiques utilisés par l'outil d'EI. L'accent est porté sur la résolution des problèmes soulevés par un tel cycle de vie, notamment à propos de la consolidation des nouvelles annotations et instances vis-à-vis du modèle de l'ontologie. Enfin, nous soumettons des propositions pour lopérationnalisation de la démarche OntoPop à travers une méthodologie et une plateforme logicielle basée sur l'outil de représentation des connaissances ITM de la société Mondeca. La méthodologie a pour objectif de fournir un mode d'emploi simple et efficace pour la réalisation d'une application concrète dannotation sémantique ou de peuplement d'ontologie au sein d'une entreprise. La plateforme logicielle offre des exemples de composants logiciels modulaires, autorisant un maximum de flexibilité vis-à-vis des besoins et objectifs de chaque nouvelle application d'annotation sémantique ou de peuplement d'ontologie.

At the beginning of the 7th Framework Program, recently launched by the European Commission, Human Language Technologies continue to be a challenge for computer science, linguistics and related fields as these technologies become an ever more essential element of our everyday technological environment. Since Ajdukiewicz, Tarski, Turing and Chomsky (i.e. since the very beginning of the Computer Age) these fields have influenced and stimulated each other. Technological, social and cultural globalization has created a favorable climate for the intensive exchange of novel ideas, concepts and solutions across initially distant disciplines. We aim at further contributing to this exchange and we invite you to join us at L&TC'07 in Poznañ, this year. I have pleasure to announce that Piek Vossen (University of Amsterdam) accepted our invitation to give the Keynote Speaker Talk at the conference.

Umultowska 87 PL 61-614 Poznañ e-mail: ltc at amu.edu.pl www.ltc.amu.edu.pl CONFERENCE TOPICS The conference program will include the following topics (a non-exclusive list): * electronic language resources and tools * formalisation of natural languages * parsing and other forms of NL processing * computer modelling of language competence * NL user modelling * NL understanding by computers * knowledge representation * WordNet technologies, ontologies (cf. L&TC WordNet Special Track) * man-machine NL interfaces * Logic Programming in Natural Language Processing * corpus linguistics * speech processing * NL applications in robotics * text-based information retrieval and extraction, question answering * question answering * tools and methodologies for developing multilingual systems * translation enhancement tools * methodological issues in HLT * prototype presentations * language-specific computational challenges for HLTs (especially for languages other than English) * HLT standards * HLT support for foreign language teaching * communicative intelligence * legal problems connected with HLTs (problems and challenges) * contribution of HLTs to the homeland security problems (application and legal aspects) (cf. L&TC Homeland Security Workshop) * vision papers in the field of HLT * HLT related policies You will have noted that we intend to continue traditional HLT interest areas (cf. L&TC'05 topics). You may also have observed that we have included a new dimension at the frontier between HLTs and the Homeland Security field. We invite authors working in this domain to contribute either on theoretical issues (e.g. legal aspects of development and application of HLTs) or technical developments (applications, software, language infrastructure and tools). Political and mature vision papers in this field are also welcome. (see the Homeland Security Workshop) This list is by no means closed and we are open to further proposals.

Organisation : Dominique Dutoit, Michel Dupont (Mémodata), Georges Kleiber (Université Marc Bloch). Lieu : ENST Amphi Emeraude (accès par le 49 rue Vergniaud), Paris 13ème (bus 57, 62, 67). La plupart des applications de TAL profiteraient de progrès en résolution des anaphores. Prenons quelques exemples : - recherche documentaire : meilleure détection des topics ; - traduction automatique : choix des bons pronoms ; - système à questions-réponses et extraction d'information : constitution de bases de connaissances. Actuellement, certaines applications ne comportent pas de modules spécialisés pour cette tâche et le plus souvent les modules spécialisés sont conçus selon des principes qui n'ont guère évolué au cours des dernières décennies. La conception de ces modules reste un verrou pour le TAL. C'est du moins le cas dès que les applications doivent faire un calcul du sens qui ne se limite pas à quelques mots mais doit prendre en compte plusieurs phrases pouvant contenir plusieurs propositions. Les performances globales des applications de compréhension automatique de texte et des systèmes qui construisent des bases de connaissances à partir de textes semblent en grande partie limitée par les performances de leur module de résolution des anaphores. On a pu observer cela avec la campagne des conférences MUC. Les résultats des épreuves de remplissage de fiches sont en effet corrélées avec les épreuves de calcul des chaînes de coréférence. Il semble donc que, même si d'autres obstacles subsistent, un effort de recherche tout particulier doit être fait sur ce point. Les études sur ce sujet sont pourtant nombreuses. On observe d'ailleurs qu'elles consacrent la distinction entre linguistique traditionnelle, linguistique cognitive, linguistique formelle et Traitement Automatique des Langues. Pour la linguistique traditionnelle, plusieurs linguistes français s'intéressent depuis plusieurs décennies à cette question et ont accumulé une somme de connaissance qui n'est guère actuellement exploitée en TAL. Pour la linguistique cognitive, c'est assurément la théorie de l'accessibilité, laquelle se situe dans le courant de la théorie de la Pertinence, qui est la plus connue. En linguistique formelle, on évoque actuellement le plus souvent la théorie du centrage mais il en existe d'autres comme la théorie du focus tandis qu'en TAL les travaux actuellement les plus en vogue font appel à des calculs de score. La journée d'étude se proposera de faire un point sur l'ensemble de ces travaux dans la perspective de faire sauter ce verrou pour le TAL. On essaiera notamment de voir si les connaissances accumulées par les linguistes sur les différents marqueurs référentiels sont utiles pour le TAL. Comment faire pour les utiliser ? Les approches cognitives comme la théorie de l'accessibilité peuvent-elles être un apport pour le TAL ? Les modèles de la linguistique formelle sont-ils opérationnels en TAL ? Sinon peuvent-ils le devenir ? Dans quelle mesure peut-on considérer que ces modèles sont validés par des réalisations informatiques ? Ce sera aussi le moment de faire un point sur les applications de Compréhension Automatique, de systèmes à questions-réponses et d'Extraction d'Information en regardant comment la résolution des anaphores y est traitée (sous quelle forme, avec quels apports théoriques). On cherchera sur ce point à être le plus concret possible en examinant les applications élaborées par les laboratoires français. Les concepteurs confirment-ils que le traitement des anaphores constitue un verrou ? Si oui, qu'envisagent-ils comme solution pour faire sauter ce verrou ? Soumissions : Toute proposition en rapport avec les thématiques de la journée sera examinée. Il peut s'agir d'une comparaison entre plusieurs approches faisant ressortir les avantages et les inconvénients de chacune d'elles. Il peut s'agir aussi de la présentation d'un module de résolution des anaphores dans une application avec évaluation des performances du module et de l'impact sur les performances globales du système puis présentation de propositions pour améliorer les performances. Il peut s'agir encore de la présentation d'une application dédiée au calcul des chaînes de coréférence avec là aussi une évaluation et des propositions pour améliorer les performances. Plus généralement, toute contribution permettant d'apporter des éléments de réponse aux questions que soulève la nécessité de faire sauter ce verrou technologique sera la bienvenue étant bien entendu que la question même de savoir si c'est un verrou reste ouverte à la discussion. Format et envoi des soumissions : Résumés entre 2 et 4 pages pour une intervention de 30 ou 45mn. Les soumissions devront être transmises sous format électronique de préférence, au format Word, Pdf ou fichier-texte.

General Information The Doctoral Consortium at EUROLAN-2007 will provide an opportunity for graduate students (PhD and MSc heading towards PhD studies) investigating topics in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing to present their current work and receive constructive feedback and guidance on future research, both from the general audience and the invited lecturers at the Summer School. The Doctoral Consortium will be held as a workshop during 3 or 4 consecutive evenings (1.5 hour slots) in the second week of the EUROLAN 2007 Summer School, July 30 - August 2, 2007. The final version of the accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of the EUROLAN 2007 Doctoral Consortium, at the University Al. I Cuza Publishing House. During the Summer School the students will present their work, will receive constructive comments wrt. to current and future research directions from a panel of established researchers, and will benefit from the collaborative climate established among all participants, thus enhancing future joint work among them. Students will also prepare a poster which will be on display throughout the Summer School. We invite all interested graduate students to submit their work to the Consortium. As the main goal of the Consortium is for the authors to receive feedback, the emphasis is on work in progress. The research being presented can be from any topic area within Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing, including but not limited to: * phonetics, phonology, and morphology; * pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax, and the lexicon; * text understanding and generation; * computational semantics; * ontology enriched NLP applications; * multilingual NLP; * mutilingual question answering; * machine translation; * corpus-based language processing; * electronic dictionaries; * written and spoken natural language interfaces; * knowledge acquisition; * terminology; * text summarisation; * text classification; * computer-aided language learning; * human computer interaction; * language resources; * evaluation, assessment and standards in language engineering; * theoretical and application-oriented papers related to NLP of every kind. Well-known researchers from these areas will be invited lecturers of the school and therefore available for interesting discussions. 2. Submission Requirements The submissions should describe original work, still in progress. The submissions may have more than one author; however, all of them MUST be students (PhD and MSc heading towards PhD). The paper should include: * the problem(s) that the proposed research is addressing; * the main contribution(s) of the research to the CL & NLP field; * the proposed solution(s), including a brief description of the methodology adopted; * the future research plan. 3. Submission Procedure Submission must be electronic. The only format acceptable is PDF (.pdf). Submissions should not exceed 8 pages, including references and annexes and should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings. The papers will be uploaded on a special page, announced on the web page of the Doctoral Consortium, where more submission guidelines are available. 4. Important Dates * Paper submissions deadline: May 14, 2007 * Notification of acceptance: June 4, 2007 * Camera ready papers due: June 25, 2007 * Doctoral Consortium: July 30 - August 2, 2007 * Summer School dates: July 23 - August 3, 2007 5.

They form the core element to develop large coverage, high-performance, and reusable semantic parsers, classifiers as well as applications that include lexicography, term and information extraction, semantic processing of the web, text-to-scene conversion systems, etc. The workshop will be a review of on-going research and results in the area. The detailed program is available from this web page: http://nlp.cs.lth.se/frame2007/program.shtml. The workshop also intends to be a forum for the research community to review current initiatives and methods as well as ideas to start the construction of role annotated corpora and possibly share it across a family of related languages. It will take place in the NODALIDA 2007 conference and will include a round table where participants will have the opportunity to discuss and try to propose an agenda to build frame semantic resources for the Scandinavian and Baltic languages. Active participation and/or commitments from the presenters or the public to set up this agenda will be welcome. To participate in the workshop, you have to register to the main conference: http://math.ut.ee/nodalida2007/registration.html and to pay the registration fee. Registration to the workshop is free. Simply send an e-mail to frame2007 at cs.lth.se.

Vous le trouverez sur le site web de la conférence. http://www.porphyre.org/toth ---------------------------------------------------------- TOTh : Terminologie & Ontologie : Théories et Applications Annecy - 1er juin 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------- Dans un monde où la communication et le partage d'informations et de connaissances sont au coeur de nos activités, la terminologie joue un rôle central. Il est alors impératif d'identifier les termes employés et de les définir de façon consensuelle et cohérente tout en préservant la diversité langagière. La terminologie, en tant que discipline scientifique, se fonde sur une conceptualisation d'un domaine d'application et sur les mots pour en parler. Elle doit donc concilier un point de vue linguistique et un point de vue ontologique. Les Conférences TOTh se situent dans le prolongement des colloques de la Société française de terminologie et des activités de l'institut Porphyre « savoir et connaissance ». Elles ont pour objectif de rassembler industriels, utilisateurs, formateurs et chercheurs dont les préoccupations relèvent à la fois de la terminologie et de l'ontologie, et de façon plus générale de la langue et de la représentation des connaissances liées à des communautés de pratique. Les conférences TOTh se veulent un lieu d'échange et de partage où seront exposés problèmes, solutions et retours d'expériences tant sur le plan théorique qu'applicatif ; ainsi que les nouvelles tendances et perspectives de ces disciplines. Thèmes : -------- Les applications et outils de la terminologie : extraction de termes, traduction... Les principes méthodologiques : construction, définition, normalisation, gestion (maintenance) ; multilinguisme... Les langues spécialisées, la socioterminologie en particulier en direction des entreprises... La représentation et la gestion des connaissances : modélisation des concepts, construction d'ontologies... Les apports de la linguistique, de la sociolinguistique, de la philosophie, de l'intelligence artificielle... Les environnements logiciels : construction et maintenance des terminologies, des dictionnaires, des ontologies... Les applications informatiques mettant en jeu des terminologies : gestion documentaire, classification... Publics visés : --------------- Terminologues, linguistes, ingénieurs cogniticiens, mais aussi responsables de politiques terminologiques et linguistiques, chercheurs et industriels en ingénierie linguistique et de la connaissance ; et de façon plus générale toutes personnes intéressées par la gestion de l'information où les dimensions liées à la langue et à la connaissance tiennent une place prépondérante.

Un enjeu scientifique important sera de d?terminer dans quelle mesure la perspective combinatoire permet de structurer un champ s?mantique comme celui des ?motions. Les applications d'une telle approche sont ?videmment nombreuses, par exemple, l'enseignement structur? de la phras?ologie en Fran?ais Langue Etrang?re (FLE), la classification automatique des unit?s lexicales en Traitement Automatique du Langage (TAL) ou un traitement plus syst?matique en lexicographie.

Plus pr?cis?ment, cette architecture fournit un environnement permettant de construire une repr?sentation s?mantique sous-sp?cifi?e (Predicate Logic Unplugged de (Bos, 1995)) ? partir d'une grammaire et d'un ?nonc?. Afin de faciliter la gestion de grammaires de taille reelle, la plateforme SemTAG int?gre un compilateur de m?tagrammaires. Le r?le de ce compilateur est de produire semi-automatiquement une grammaire ? partir d'une description factoris?e. Cette description correspond ? (a) une hi?rarchie de fragments d'arbres et (b) des combinaisons de ces fragments au moyen d'un langage de contr?le. De plus, chaque arbre ainsi produit peut ?tre equip? d'une interface syntaxe / s?mantique ? la (Gardent et Kallmeyer, 2003). La construction semantique est r?alis?e ? partir du r?sultat de l'analyse syntaxique. Cette analyse est fournie par un analyseur syntaxique tabulaire g?n?r? automatiquement ? partir de la grammaire d'entr?e au moyen du syst?me DyALog (De La Clergerie, 2005). Cet analyseur produit une for?t de d?rivation, qui encode toutes les d?rivations, et a partir desquelles les unifications des indexes s?mantiques sont extraites. Cette plate-forme a ?t? evalu?e en termes de couverture s?mantique sur la test-suite TSNLP.

TOPIC AND MOTIVATION: The recent political and economic changes in Central and Eastern Europe and the related on-going enlargement of the European Union brings into focus new cultures and languages. Among them, the languages from the Balto-Slavonic group have an outstanding role because of their rich cultural heritage and the widespread use - over 400 million speakers. The topic of the workshop addresses Natural Language Processing (NLP) for the Balto-Slavonic languages, with the focus on Information Extraction (IE) and enabling technologies for this language family. The task of IE is to identify a predefined set of concepts from natural language text. The spectrum of IE tasks ranges from named-entity recognition, through relation extraction and co-reference resolution to the identification of complex events and cross-document entity profile extraction. Although a considerable amount of IE-related work exists, most of the studies are concentrated on a few major languages. Research on this topic, as well as on general-purpose NLP tools in the context of Balto-Slavonic languages, is still in its early stage and is progressing relatively slowly. Due to some specific phenomena like the highly inflectional character and relatively free word order, a construction of IE systems and other language processing tools (question-answering, text summarization, machine translation) for these languages is an intriguing and challenging task. This workshop can be seen as the follow-up to the successful workshop on Information Extraction for Slavonic and Other Central and Eastern European Languages (http://lml.bas.bg/IESL2003) held in conjunction with the RANLP 2003 conference. It is also related to the EACL 2003 workshop on Morphological Processing of Slavic Languages (http://nl.ijs.si/mpsl03). In particular, we would strongly encourage submissions describing systems, resources or solutions that are made available to the wider public, as these would help to promote computational linguistics applications for these languages. AREAS OF INTEREST include, but are not limited to: A. Specific challenges for Balto-Slavonic NLP, in particular in the context of IE and enabling technologies - text segmentation - morphological analysis - morphology models - morpho-syntactic disambiguation - named-entity recognition - named-entity disambiguation (e.g., geo-referencing) - named-entity lemmatisation - term and keyword extraction - name variant recognition and merging - syntactic parsing and chunking - co-reference resolution - word sense disambiguation - corpus-based knowledge acquisition B. Multilingual IE frameworks and techniques applied to these languages - tools and resources (freely available for research purposes will be preferred) - experience with, and evaluation of, linguistic data and processing resources - comparative evaluation between languages C. IE solutions for these languages: - scenario template filling / event extraction - relation extraction - automatic pattern learning - corpus studies and statistical techniques for IE - IE from Web sources - IE-based ontology population - IE evaluation - IE techniques for Question/Answering and Answer Extraction - Utilisation of IE-based techniques in other NLP applications INTENDED AUDIENCE The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on NLP for Balto-Slavonic languages, in particular on IE and core technologies supporting IE for these languages. The workshop will give an opportunity to exchange ideas and experience, to discuss hard-to-tackle problems in this field of research, and to make available resources more widely known. SUBMISSION Papers should describe original work and should indicate the state of completion of the reported results. In particular, an overlap with previously published work should be clearly mentioned. Submissions will be judged on correctness, novelty, technical strength, clarity of presentation, usability, and significance/relevance to the workshop. Submissions should follow the two-column format of the ACL 2007 main-conference proceedings and should not exceed eight (8) pages, including references. We recommend to use either the LaTeX style file or the Microsoft-Word style file, which can be found at http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/acl2007/styles. The reviewing will be blind. Therefore, the paper should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-citations and other references that could reveal the author's identity should be avoided. Submission will be electronic. The only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe PDF. Papers must be submitted no later than April 9, 2006 using the submission webpage http://langtech.jrc.it/BSNLP2007/submission (or http://www.softconf.com/acl07/ACL07-WS12/submit.html). Submissions will be reviewed by 3 members of the Program Committee. Authors of accepted papers will receive guidelines regarding how to produce camera-ready versions of their papers for inclusion in the ACL workshop proceedings. IMPORTANT DATES Workshop Paper Submission deadline: extented to April 9 Notification of Acceptance: April 30 Camera-ready Version: May 9 Workshop: June 29, 2007. LOCATION Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is located in the centre of Europe. It is one of the most valuable historical city reserves in Europe. The historical core of the city is listed in the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Register. The workshop itself will take place in the TOP HOTEL Praha, located in the quiet neighbourhood of the Prague 4 district, only 15-20 minutes from the historic centre of Prague. Prague is easily reachable by car, bus or train from central Europe (only 3-hour drive from Vienna or Budapest or 4 hours from Berlin or Munich), by cheap flights from the rest of Europe, and by several direct flights from overseas.

Three positions will be available. Successful candidates are expected to carry out work on multiple-choice test item generation, with their research covering, but not limited to, one or more of the following areas: (1) syntactic processing for real-world NLP applications (with particular reference to multiple choice time item generation); (2) development of a multiple choice test item generation system for Spanish; (3) proposal of high quality distractors for multiple-choice test items in the biomedical domain. Students involved in area (1) should direct their activities toward the accurate syntactic-semantic analysis of complex sentences, proposing a treatment which takes issues such as co-ordination and punctuation into account. This research will be applied to a real-world NLP application such as information extraction in the domain of biomedicine. Area (2) will address the implementation and tuning of a Spanish-language system that will be drawn from the existing system for English. A good command of the Spanish language will be vital for this task together with excellent programming skills and the ability to develop and harness lexical and ontological resources in this context. The integration of additional NLP techniques for Spanish such as named entity recognition or temporal processing will also be addressed in this area. Research in area (3) may involve the development of new processing units for entailment recognition and temporal processing. These units will be used to derive causal relationships in biomedical texts in order to enhance the quality of automatically proposed distractors closely related to the focus of the test items. The student's activities may also include automatic recognition of textual entailment as well as approaches to the identification of morphological and lexical similarity. In their studies, the students will have access to and will benefit from all the resources developed in an existing related project. This includes the opportunity to conduct user-evaluation, which will be very beneficial in the development of the system modules. In return, part of the PhD work will be integrated in the system to be developed during the project. Further information on related research can be found in the papers: Mitkov, R. and Ha, L. A.

This workshop is devoted to the management of health information for the general public that can be found on the web, i.e. the management of health websites. Following the recent development of the web, the situation in the medical arena is evolving, particularly since the content proposed by such websites can have a direct impact on the user's well-being. Indeed, millions of documents are available on the web, and users are often overwhelmed by the mass of information. Moreover, the quality of information is uneven - a fact sometimes ignored by users. In this context, content reliability must be controlled in order to help users to efficiently access information that is most valuable to them. The objective of this workshop is to address different aspects related to the problem of controlling the reliability of health websites. - Initiatives aimed at evaluating the reliability of health websites: ie., referencing, accreditation, popularity, self-regulation, collaboration in the analysis and comparison of health websites. - Ways and means of rendering the control and evaluation visible and available to users: labels, seals, portals, P3P protocol and tools, etc. - Criteria to determine the quality of health websites: transparency of information and information providers, document readability, traceability of content, quality of medical content, privacy, etc. - Automation of quality assessment given the growing number of health websites. - Manual versus automatic quality assessment: advantages and limitations. - Solutions for dealing with the constantly changing content of health websites. - Qualifications and capabilities of persons assessing the content reliability of health websites. - Free versus lucrative solutions for the control of health website reliability. - Promoting the visibility of high quality health websites. - Multilingual issues of the reliability of health websites.

Selection is that property of a word or phrase which determines the paradigmatic behavior of its neighbors. Predicates select arguments; but what is selected for, a type, a feature, something else? Is selection defeasible? Do arguments themselves have any selectional properties? Do grammatical functions have selectional behavior? In this course, we study the formal mechanisms responsible for argument and adjunct selection in language. I will present a theory of lexically type-driven semantic selection that expands the operations available in composition. Building explicitly on Generative Lexicon's richer inventory of compositionality, I explore the type language and logic necessary to model the mechanics of selection. Words encode local context as typing information. The compositional rules of the language refer to these types. The operations possible during composition for these types are: i. selection, ii. accommodation, and iii. coercion (exploitation and introduction). As an illustration of this theory, I explore the phenomena of nominal and verbal polysemy, and verbal alternations. _________________________________________________ Laure Sarda LATTICE UMR 8094 CNRS ENS, 1 rue Maurice Arnoux F-92120 Montrouge Tel. 01 58 07 66 21 Fax. 01 58 07 66 29 e-mail : laure.sarda at ens.fr ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From pifchakagew at CHAKA.CA Fri Apr 13 08:58:12 2007 From: pifchakagew at CHAKA.CA (Mariana Romero) Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 07:58:12 -0100 Subject: Watch your body change with Anatrim Message-ID: Anatrim ?

This theme should be interpreted inclusively: contributions from linguistics, computer science, psycholinguistics and related areas are welcome, and an interdisciplinary perspective is of particular interest. The collocation with the CONTEXT07 conference underlines the application of constraints for context comprehension and discourse modelling. Motivation ---------- Constraints are widely used in linguistics, computer science, and psychology. How they are used, however, varies widely according to the research domain: knowledge representation, cognitive modelling, problem solving mechanisms, etc. These different perspectives are complementary, each one adding a piece to the puzzle. For example, linguistics proposes in-depth descriptions implementing constraints in order to filter out structures by means of description languages, constraint ranking, etc. The constraint programming paradigm, on the other hand, shows that constraints have to be taken as a systematic whole and can thus play a role in building the structures (or can even replace structures). Finally, psycholinguistics investigates the role of constraint systems for cognitive processes in comprehension and production as well as addressing how they can be acquired. Invited speakers: ----------------- 2 or 3 distinguished researchers will be announced on the workshop web pages. Topics ------ The workshop seeks contributions from different areas working with constraints in relation to language including, but not limited to the topics . Constraints in human language comprehension and production . Context modelling and discourse interpretation . Acquisition of constraints . Constraints and learning . Cross-theoretical view of the notion of constraint . New advances in constraint-based linguistic theories . Constraint satisfaction (CS) technologies for NLP . Linguistic analysis and linguistic theories biased towards CS or constraint logic programming (CLP) . Application of CS or CLP for NLP . CS and CLP for other than textual or spoken languages, e.g., sign languages and biological, multimodal human-computer interaction, visual languages, . Probabilistic constraint-based reasoning Submissions ----------- Authors are invited to submit extended abstract or a full paper of up to 12 pages. Papers should be prepared as PDF files using the format for Springer's LNCS/LNAI series, http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html Each submission will be commented by two or three reviewers. Preliminary proceedings are distributed at the workshop and, depending on number and quality of submissions, a volume of revised and selected papers are under considerations at an international publisher. Please submit papers as PDF files, following the guidelines to appear at http://control.ruc.dk/CSLP2007.html Important dates --------------- Submission deadline May 24, 2007 Notification June 14, 2007 Final version July 5, 2007 Workshop 20 and-or 21 August 2007 Registration ------------ Registration is done through the CONTEXT conference website, and the fee covers the conference and all workshops. http://context-07.ruc.dk At least one author of each accepted paper must register and present the paper at the workshop.

At the beginning of the 7th Framework Program, recently launched by the European Commission, Human Language Technologies continue to be a challenge for computer science, linguistics and related fields as these technologies become an ever more essential element of our everyday technological environment. Since Ajdukiewicz, Tarski, Turing and Chomsky (i.e. since the very beginning of the Computer Age) these fields have influenced and stimulated each other. Technological, social and cultural globalization has created a favorable climate for the intensive exchange of novel ideas, concepts and solutions across initially distant disciplines. We aim at further contributing to this exchange and we invite you to join us at L&TC'07 in Pozna?, this year. I have pleasure to announce that Piek Vossen (University of Amsterdam) accepted our invitation to give the Keynote Speaker Talk at the conference. Zygmunt Vetulani L&TC'07 Chair vetulani at amu.edu.pl CONTACT Address 3rd Language & Technology Conference (L&T'07) Adam Mickiewicz University Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Department of Computer Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence ul. Umultowska 87 PL 61-614 Pozna? e-mail: ltc at amu.edu.pl www.ltc.amu.edu.p CONFERENCE TOPICS The conference program will include the following topics (a non-exclusive list): * electronic language resources and tools * formalisation of natural languages * parsing and other forms of NL processing * computer modelling of language competence * NL user modelling * NL understanding by computers * knowledge representation * WordNet technologies, ontologies (cf. L&TC WordNet Special Track) * man-machine NL interfaces * Logic Programming in Natural Language Processing * corpus linguistics * speech processing * NL applications in robotics * text-based information retrieval and extraction, question answering * question answering * tools and methodologies for developing multilingual systems * translation enhancement tools * methodological issues in HLT * prototype presentations * language-specific computational challenges for HLTs (especially for languages other than English) * HLT standards * HLT support for foreign language teaching * communicative intelligence * legal problems connected with HLTs (problems and challenges) * contribution of HLTs to the homeland security problems (application and legal aspects) (cf. L&TC Homeland Security Workshop) * vision papers in the field of HLT * HLT related policies You will have noted that we intend to continue traditional HLT interest areas (cf. L&TC'05 topics). You may also have observed that we have included a new dimension at the frontier between HLTs and the Homeland Security field. We invite authors working in this domain to contribute either on theoretical issues (e.g. legal aspects of development and application of HLTs) or technical developments (applications, software, language infrastructure and tools). Political and mature vision papers in this field are also welcome. (see the Homeland Security Workshop) This list is by no means closed and we are open to further proposals. The Program Committee is also open to suggestions concerning accompanying events (workshops, exhibits, panels, etc). Suggestions, ideas and observations may be addressed directly to the L&TC Chair by email (vetulani at amu.edu.pl). L&TC WORDNET SPECIAL TRACK The WordNet Special Track will be a part of the L&TC'07 event. It will be co-chaired by Karel Pala, Christiane Fellbaum and Piek Vossen. It will focus on development of new WordNets, related tools and WordNet applications in AI.

La recherche dans ce domaine a ?t? tr?s intense ces derni?res ann?es surtout avec l'av?nement du Web s?mantique. Diff?rentes probl?matiques y sont abord?es : m?thodologie de conception des ontologies, g?n?ration automatique des ontologies, repr?sentation des ontologies modulaires/r?parties/contextuelles, etc. Les journ?es JFO ont pour objectif de r?unir les chercheurs, acad?miques et industriels, travaillant de pr?s ou de loin sur ce domaine des ontologies pour en faire le point et en ?claircir les enjeux et les perspectives. Ces efforts se doivent d'?tre p?rennis?s d'autant plus que les utilisations et les apports attribu?s aux ontologies ne cessent de cro?tre. En effet, de plus en plus de chercheurs (et d'industriels) utilisent (ou demandent ? utiliser) des ontologies. Il nous semble donc n?cessaire de r?server un cadre de r?flexion exclusivement r?serv? ? cette th?matique et ? tous ses diff?rents aspects. Les JFO 07 proposent un tel cadre pour la communaut? francophone. Ce cadre n'a d'int?r?t que si les universitaires et les industriels actifs dans ce domaine confrontent leurs id?es en vue d'arriver ? bien positionner le r?le et la place des ontologies dans les syst?mes d'information communicants. Les JFO se veulent aussi devenir un rendez-vous annuel pour les universitaires et les industriels pour s'?changer les points de vue, les savoir-faire et les retours sur exp?rience. Conf?renciers invit?s. ====================== Aris M. Ouksel, Universit? de l'Illinois ? Chicago, USA Guy Pierra, Universit? de Poitiers, France Th?mes. ====== Le comit? de programme des JFO 07 sollicite la soumission d'articles scientifiques ou techniques originaux sur les th?mes suivants (mais pas exclusivement) : - D?couverte de correspondances inter ontologies - Ontologies contextuelles, modulaires et r?parties - Int?gration et partitionnement dontologies - Ontologies et interop?rabilit? s?mantique - Ontologies et services Web s?mantiques - Ontologies et requ?tes floues - Ontologies probabilistiques - Extraction d'ontologies ? partir d'entrep?ts de donn?es - M?thodologies de cr?ation dontologies - Construction interactive et incr?mentale d'ontologies r?parties - Outils logiciels pour la construction et la v?rification des ontologies - Ontologies multilingues, terminologies - Exp?riences de cr?ation d'ontologies : urbaine, m?dicale, g?ographique, - Utilisation des ontologies en milieu industriel Les soumissions doivent ?tre au format PDF et respecter le mod?le des revues Lavoisier-Herm?s. Elles doivent ?tre d?pos?es sur le site Web de JFO 2007. Deux types de soumissions sont sollicit?s : articles longs (moins de 20 pages) et articles courts (moins de 12 pages).

Paris-X-Nanterre, Salle Ren?

Paris IV-Sorbonne, Co-Directeur de Th?se Mr Jean-Luc Minel, Ing?nieur de recherche (HDR), CNRS, Co-Directeur de Th?se Mr Jean Delahousse, PDG de Mondeca R?sum? : Cette th?se aborde les probl?matiques li?es ? l'annotation s?mantique et au peuplement d'ontologies dans le cadre d?fini par le Web S?mantique (WS). La vision du Web S?mantique initi?e en 1998 par Sir Tim Berners-Lee a pour objectif de permettre une meilleure exploitation des informations disponibles sur le Web par les agents logiciels. Pour cela, les ressources, textuelles ou multim?dias, doivent ?tre s?mantiquement ?tiquet?es par des annotations structur?es. Dans ce processus d'annotation s?mantique, les ontologies jouent un r?le primordial puisqu'elles mod?lisent les concepts, attributs et relations utilis?es pour annoter le contenu des ressources. Mais, il est tout aussi important que la base de connaissance, associ?e ? cette ontologie, contienne les instances ? utiliser pour l'annotation s?mantique. C'est pourquoi la t?che de peuplement d'ontologie a pour but d'enrichir (semi-)automatiquement la base de connaissance avec les nouvelles instances de concepts, dattributs et de relations. La r?alisation de ces deux t?ches consiste ? combiner les outils d'extraction d'information (EI) avec les outils de repr?sentation des connaissances du WS. En effet, le principal mode de transfert de la connaissance se fait par l'utilisation du langage naturel dans les ressources documentaires. Malgr? tout, il existe actuellement un foss? entre les formats de repr?sentation des analyses linguistiques et ceux de repr?sentation des connaissances. Cette th?se propose de combler ce foss? en concevant un m?diateur capable de transformer les ?tiquettes linguistiques g?n?r?es par les outils d'EI en des repr?sentations plus formelles, annotations s?mantiques des textes ou instances d'une ontologie donn?e et relations entre celles-ci. L'enjeu consiste aussi bien ? proposer une r?flexion m?thodologique sur l'interop?rabilit? des diff?rentes technologies qu'une conception de solutions op?rationnelles dans le monde des entreprises, et ? plus large ?chelle du Web. Dans le cadre de cette th?se, nous avons donc con?u une d?marche, nomm?e OntoPop pour ? Ontology Population ?, qui met en place une passerelle reposant sur un ensemble de r?gles, dites ? d'Acquisition de Connaissance ? et sur un langage d'impl?mentation de ces r?gles, OPAL (Ontology Population and Annotation Language. Nous montrons comment cette passerelle peut ?tre utilis?e dans un cycle complet d'extraction d'information, d'enrichissement des ressources terminologiques et ontologiques, d'annotation s?mantique et de mise ? jour des lexiques utilis?s par l'outil d'EI. L'accent est port? sur la r?solution des probl?mes soulev?s par un tel cycle de vie, notamment ? propos de la consolidation des nouvelles annotations et instances vis-?-vis du mod?le de l'ontologie. Enfin, nous soumettons des propositions pour lop?rationnalisation de la d?marche OntoPop ? travers une m?thodologie et une plateforme logicielle bas?e sur l'outil de repr?sentation des connaissances ITM de la soci?t? Mondeca. La m?thodologie a pour objectif de fournir un mode d'emploi simple et efficace pour la r?alisation d'une application concr?te dannotation s?mantique ou de peuplement d'ontologie au sein d'une entreprise. La plateforme logicielle offre des exemples de composants logiciels modulaires, autorisant un maximum de flexibilit? vis-?-vis des besoins et objectifs de chaque nouvelle application d'annotation s?mantique ou de peuplement d'ontologie.

At the beginning of the 7th Framework Program, recently launched by the European Commission, Human Language Technologies continue to be a challenge for computer science, linguistics and related fields as these technologies become an ever more essential element of our everyday technological environment. Since Ajdukiewicz, Tarski, Turing and Chomsky (i.e. since the very beginning of the Computer Age) these fields have influenced and stimulated each other. Technological, social and cultural globalization has created a favorable climate for the intensive exchange of novel ideas, concepts and solutions across initially distant disciplines. We aim at further contributing to this exchange and we invite you to join us at L&TC'07 in Pozna?, this year. I have pleasure to announce that Piek Vossen (University of Amsterdam) accepted our invitation to give the Keynote Speaker Talk at the conference. Zygmunt Vetulani L&TC'07 Chair vetulani at amu.edu.pl CONTACT Address 3rd Language & Technology Conference (L&T'07) Adam Mickiewicz University Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Department of Computer Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence ul. Umultowska 87 PL 61-614 Pozna? e-mail: ltc at amu.edu.pl www.ltc.amu.edu.pl CONFERENCE TOPICS The conference program will include the following topics (a non-exclusive list): * electronic language resources and tools * formalisation of natural languages * parsing and other forms of NL processing * computer modelling of language competence * NL user modelling * NL understanding by computers * knowledge representation * WordNet technologies, ontologies (cf. L&TC WordNet Special Track) * man-machine NL interfaces * Logic Programming in Natural Language Processing * corpus linguistics * speech processing * NL applications in robotics * text-based information retrieval and extraction, question answering * question answering * tools and methodologies for developing multilingual systems * translation enhancement tools * methodological issues in HLT * prototype presentations * language-specific computational challenges for HLTs (especially for languages other than English) * HLT standards * HLT support for foreign language teaching * communicative intelligence * legal problems connected with HLTs (problems and challenges) * contribution of HLTs to the homeland security problems (application and legal aspects) (cf. L&TC Homeland Security Workshop) * vision papers in the field of HLT * HLT related policies You will have noted that we intend to continue traditional HLT interest areas (cf. L&TC'05 topics). You may also have observed that we have included a new dimension at the frontier between HLTs and the Homeland Security field. We invite authors working in this domain to contribute either on theoretical issues (e.g. legal aspects of development and application of HLTs) or technical developments (applications, software, language infrastructure and tools). Political and mature vision papers in this field are also welcome. (see the Homeland Security Workshop) This list is by no means closed and we are open to further proposals. The Program Committee is also open to suggestions concerning accompanying events (workshops, exhibits, panels, etc). Suggestions, ideas and observations may be addressed directly to the L&TC Chair by email (vetulani at amu.edu.pl). L&TC WORDNET SPECIAL TRACK The WordNet Special Track will be a part of the L&TC'07 event. It will be co-chaired by Karel Pala, Christiane Fellbaum and Piek Vossen. It will focus on development of new WordNets, related tools and WordNet applications in AI. The submission deadlines, fees, registration and payment procedures remain the same as for the rest of the L&TC. For the reviewing purposes only, the contributions should be subtitled "Submission to L&TC WordNet Special Track". If you desire to know more please do contact Karel Pala by e-mail (pala at fi.muni.cz). L&TC HOMELAND SECURITY WORKSHOP L&TC Homeland Security workshop will be a part of the L&TC'07 event.

Organisation : Dominique Dutoit, Michel Dupont (M?modata), Georges Kleiber (Universit? Marc Bloch). Lieu : ENST Amphi Emeraude (acc?s par le 49 rue Vergniaud), Paris 13?me (bus 57, 62, 67). La plupart des applications de TAL profiteraient de progr?s en r?solution des anaphores. Prenons quelques exemples : - recherche documentaire : meilleure d?tection des topics ; - traduction automatique : choix des bons pronoms ; - syst?me ? questions-r?ponses et extraction d'information : constitution de bases de connaissances. Actuellement, certaines applications ne comportent pas de modules sp?cialis?s pour cette t?che et le plus souvent les modules sp?cialis?s sont con?us selon des principes qui n'ont gu?re ?volu? au cours des derni?res d?cennies. La conception de ces modules reste un verrou pour le TAL. C'est du moins le cas d?s que les applications doivent faire un calcul du sens qui ne se limite pas ? quelques mots mais doit prendre en compte plusieurs phrases pouvant contenir plusieurs propositions. Les performances globales des applications de compr?hension automatique de texte et des syst?mes qui construisent des bases de connaissances ? partir de textes semblent en grande partie limit?e par les performances de leur module de r?solution des anaphores. On a pu observer cela avec la campagne des conf?rences MUC. Les r?sultats des ?preuves de remplissage de fiches sont en effet corr?l?es avec les ?preuves de calcul des cha?nes de cor?f?rence. Il semble donc que, m?me si d'autres obstacles subsistent, un effort de recherche tout particulier doit ?tre fait sur ce point. Les ?tudes sur ce sujet sont pourtant nombreuses. On observe d'ailleurs qu'elles consacrent la distinction entre linguistique traditionnelle, linguistique cognitive, linguistique formelle et Traitement Automatique des Langues. Pour la linguistique traditionnelle, plusieurs linguistes fran?ais s'int?ressent depuis plusieurs d?cennies ? cette question et ont accumul? une somme de connaissance qui n'est gu?re actuellement exploit?e en TAL. Pour la linguistique cognitive, c'est assur?ment la th?orie de l'accessibilit?, laquelle se situe dans le courant de la th?orie de la Pertinence, qui est la plus connue. En linguistique formelle, on ?voque actuellement le plus souvent la th?orie du centrage mais il en existe d'autres comme la th?orie du focus tandis qu'en TAL les travaux actuellement les plus en vogue font appel ? des calculs de score. La journ?e d'?tude se proposera de faire un point sur l'ensemble de ces travaux dans la perspective de faire sauter ce verrou pour le TAL. On essaiera notamment de voir si les connaissances accumul?es par les linguistes sur les diff?rents marqueurs r?f?rentiels sont utiles pour le TAL. Comment faire pour les utiliser ? Les approches cognitives comme la th?orie de l'accessibilit? peuvent-elles ?tre un apport pour le TAL ? Les mod?les de la linguistique formelle sont-ils op?rationnels en TAL ? Sinon peuvent-ils le devenir ? Dans quelle mesure peut-on consid?rer que ces mod?les sont valid?s par des r?alisations informatiques ? Ce sera aussi le moment de faire un point sur les applications de Compr?hension Automatique, de syst?mes ? questions-r?ponses et d'Extraction d'Information en regardant comment la r?solution des anaphores y est trait?e (sous quelle forme, avec quels apports th?oriques). On cherchera sur ce point ? ?tre le plus concret possible en examinant les applications ?labor?es par les laboratoires fran?ais. Les concepteurs confirment-ils que le traitement des anaphores constitue un verrou ? Si oui, qu'envisagent-ils comme solution pour faire sauter ce verrou ? Soumissions : Toute proposition en rapport avec les th?matiques de la journ?e sera examin?e. Il peut s'agir d'une comparaison entre plusieurs approches faisant ressortir les avantages et les inconv?nients de chacune d'elles. Il peut s'agir aussi de la pr?sentation d'un module de r?solution des anaphores dans une application avec ?valuation des performances du module et de l'impact sur les performances globales du syst?me puis pr?sentation de propositions pour am?liorer les performances. Il peut s'agir encore de la pr?sentation d'une application d?di?e au calcul des cha?nes de cor?f?rence avec l? aussi une ?valuation et des propositions pour am?liorer les performances. Plus g?n?ralement, toute contribution permettant d'apporter des ?l?ments de r?ponse aux questions que soul?ve la n?cessit? de faire sauter ce verrou technologique sera la bienvenue ?tant bien entendu que la question m?me de savoir si c'est un verrou reste ouverte ? la discussion. Format et envoi des soumissions : R?sum?s entre 2 et 4 pages pour une intervention de 30 ou 45mn. Les soumissions devront ?tre transmises sous format ?lectronique de pr?f?rence, au format Word, Pdf ou fichier-texte.

General Information The Doctoral Consortium at EUROLAN-2007 will provide an opportunity for graduate students (PhD and MSc heading towards PhD studies) investigating topics in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing to present their current work and receive constructive feedback and guidance on future research, both from the general audience and the invited lecturers at the Summer School. The Doctoral Consortium will be held as a workshop during 3 or 4 consecutive evenings (1.5 hour slots) in the second week of the EUROLAN 2007 Summer School, July 30 - August 2, 2007. The final version of the accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of the EUROLAN 2007 Doctoral Consortium, at the University Al. I Cuza Publishing House. During the Summer School the students will present their work, will receive constructive comments wrt. to current and future research directions from a panel of established researchers, and will benefit from the collaborative climate established among all participants, thus enhancing future joint work among them. Students will also prepare a poster which will be on display throughout the Summer School. We invite all interested graduate students to submit their work to the Consortium. As the main goal of the Consortium is for the authors to receive feedback, the emphasis is on work in progress. The research being presented can be from any topic area within Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing, including but not limited to: * phonetics, phonology, and morphology; * pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax, and the lexicon; * text understanding and generation; * computational semantics; * ontology enriched NLP applications; * multilingual NLP; * mutilingual question answering; * machine translation; * corpus-based language processing; * electronic dictionaries; * written and spoken natural language interfaces; * knowledge acquisition; * terminology; * text summarisation; * text classification; * computer-aided language learning; * human computer interaction; * language resources; * evaluation, assessment and standards in language engineering; * theoretical and application-oriented papers related to NLP of every kind. Well-known researchers from these areas will be invited lecturers of the school and therefore available for interesting discussions. 2. Submission Requirements The submissions should describe original work, still in progress. The submissions may have more than one author; however, all of them MUST be students (PhD and MSc heading towards PhD).

They form the core element to develop large coverage, high-performance, and reusable semantic parsers, classifiers as well as applications that include lexicography, term and information extraction, semantic processing of the web, text-to-scene conversion systems, etc. The workshop will be a review of on-going research and results in the area. The detailed program is available from this web page: http://nlp.cs.lth.se/frame2007/program.shtml. The workshop also intends to be a forum for the research community to review current initiatives and methods as well as ideas to start the construction of role annotated corpora and possibly share it across a family of related languages. It will take place in the NODALIDA 2007 conference and will include a round table where participants will have the opportunity to discuss and try to propose an agenda to build frame semantic resources for the Scandinavian and Baltic languages. Active participation and/or commitments from the presenters or the public to set up this agenda will be welcome. To participate in the workshop, you have to register to the main conference: http://math.ut.ee/nodalida2007/registration.html and to pay the registration fee. Registration to the workshop is free.

Vous le trouverez sur le site web de la conf?rence. http://www.porphyre.org/toth ---------------------------------------------------------- TOTh : Terminologie & Ontologie : Th?ories et Applications Annecy - 1er juin 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------- Dans un monde o? la communication et le partage d'informations et de connaissances sont au coeur de nos activit?s, la terminologie joue un r?le central. Il est alors imp?ratif d'identifier les termes employ?s et de les d?finir de fa?on consensuelle et coh?rente tout en pr?servant la diversit? langagi?re. La terminologie, en tant que discipline scientifique, se fonde sur une conceptualisation d'un domaine d'application et sur les mots pour en parler. Elle doit donc concilier un point de vue linguistique et un point de vue ontologique. Les Conf?rences TOTh se situent dans le prolongement des colloques de la Soci?t? fran?aise de terminologie et des activit?s de l'institut Porphyre ? savoir et connaissance ?. Elles ont pour objectif de rassembler industriels, utilisateurs, formateurs et chercheurs dont les pr?occupations rel?vent ? la fois de la terminologie et de l'ontologie, et de fa?on plus g?n?rale de la langue et de la repr?sentation des connaissances li?es ? des communaut?s de pratique. Les conf?rences TOTh se veulent un lieu d'?change et de partage o? seront expos?s probl?mes, solutions et retours d'exp?riences tant sur le plan th?orique qu'applicatif ; ainsi que les nouvelles tendances et perspectives de ces disciplines. Th?mes : -------- Les applications et outils de la terminologie : extraction de termes, traduction... Les principes m?thodologiques : construction, d?finition, normalisation, gestion (maintenance) ; multilinguisme... Les langues sp?cialis?es, la socioterminologie en particulier en direction des entreprises... La repr?sentation et la gestion des connaissances : mod?lisation des concepts, construction d'ontologies... Les apports de la linguistique, de la sociolinguistique, de la philosophie, de l'intelligence artificielle... Les environnements logiciels : construction et maintenance des terminologies, des dictionnaires, des ontologies... Les applications informatiques mettant en jeu des terminologies : gestion documentaire, classification... Publics vis?s : --------------- Terminologues, linguistes, ing?nieurs cogniticiens, mais aussi responsables de politiques terminologiques et linguistiques, chercheurs et industriels en ing?nierie linguistique et de la connaissance ; et de fa?on plus g?n?rale toutes personnes int?ress?es par la gestion de l'information o? les dimensions li?es ? la langue et ? la connaissance tiennent une place pr?pond?rante.
