   attendees is very reasonable.  The hotel is within walking distance
   from most other attractions (major shopping areas, night clubs, free
   street shows, Golf courses, ...).

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 25 joint conferences in WORLDCOMP are the
   premier conferences for presentation of advances in their respective
   fields.  Most of these conferences have been evaluated and determined
   to be top tier research conferences
   (see http://www.cs-conference-ranking.org/index.html for an example).
   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.

Important Dates:

   Feb.  20, 2007:    Submission of full/draft papers (about 5 to 8 pages)
   March 20, 2007:    Notification of acceptance
   April 20, 2007:    Camera-Ready papers and Registration due
   June 25-28, 2007:  The 2007 World Congress in Computer Science,
                      Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing
                      (WORLDCOMP'07 - 25 joint conferences)

APPEL À COMMUNICATIONS

Analyse de texte par ordinateur, multilinguisme et applications

Colloque organisé dans le cadre du 75e Congrès annuel de l'ACFAS,
Trois-Rivières, Canada, 10-11 mai 2007.

*** Veuillez prendre note de la nouvelle date limite de soumission : 7 février 2007 ***


DESCRIPTION

   Avec l'essor rapide du Web, l'accès à l'information devient un défi
   des plus importants pour la plupart des chercheurs. À cet égard,
   les travaux récents témoignent de la pertinence de jumeler des
   concepts et des techniques provenant de divers territoires de
   recherche parmi lesquels figurent la linguistique (fondamentale et
   computationnelle), la psychologie et les sciences cognitives,
   l'intelligence artificielle et l'apprentissage machine ainsi que
   l'informatique.

   Le défi à relever est majeur et de plus en plus complexe, entre
   autres en raison du multilinguisme qui caractérise de plus en plus
   le Web. Après avoir été majoritairement composé de documents en
   anglais, le Web est peu à peu devenu un lieu de cohabitation de
   documents en différentes langues. Le multilinguisme du Web est une
   réalité que l'on ne peut ignorer à l'heure actuelle, surtout dans
   les domaines de l'accès et de la recherche d'informations.

   Les conséquences de ces développements affectent profondément les
   pratiques de plusieurs domaines. Ainsi, du point de vue du génie
   logiciel, on cherchera, dans la mesure du possible, à éviter de
   développer, pour chaque langue, des versions autonomes d'une même
   application. On cherchera plutôt à construire une base commune à
   laquelle seront couplés des modules spécifiques à chaque langue. Du
   point de vue linguistique, on s'attachera davantage à proposer des
   moyens qui permettront de rendre cette base commune aussi large ou
   universelle que possible, alors que l'on tentera de réduire au
   minimum les exigences des modules spécifiques à chaque langue.

   Les applications issues de ces développements sont aussi des plus
   importantes. Dans le domaine de la recherche d'informations, les
   stratégies de recherche sur le web, employant traditionnellement
   des mots clefs, sont de plus en plus remises en question au profit
   de stratégies (numériques, symboliques ou hybrides) intégrant des
   dimensions sémantiques de plus en plus importantes (application de
   stratégies de classification, moteurs de recherche d'informations
   fondés sur les ontologies, etc.). 


THÈMES
   Ce colloque est consacré au domaine général de l'analyse de texte
   par ordinateur, en considérant plus particulièrement les liens
   entre ce domaine, le multilinguisme et les applications
   informatiques qui y sont associées. Les chercheurs dont les travaux
   traitent de l'une ou l'autre de ces dimensions sont invités à
   soumettre une proposition de communication.


CRITÈRES DE SÉLECTION
   Les propositions de communications seront examinées par un comité
   de lecture, lequel tiendra compte de la qualité scientifique, de la
   conformité avec le thème du colloque et de l'originalité de la
   proposition.


MODALITÉS DE SOUMISSION
   Les chercheurs souhaitant participer à ce colloque sont invités à
   soumettre leur proposition de communication sous la forme d'un
   résumé d'environ 500 mots accompagné d'une bibliographie. Les
   soumissions doivent être envoyées par courriel à Dominic Forest
   (dominic.forest at umontreal.ca).


CALENDRIER
   Date limite de soumission : 7 février 2007
   Date de notification d'acceptation : 15 mars 2007
   Conférence : 10 et 11 mai 2007

3rd Language & Technology Conference:
Human Language Technologies as a Challenge for Computer Science and
Linguistics
October 5-7, 2007, Poznan, Poland, www.ltc.amu.edu.pl

CALL FOR PAPERS

Dear Colleagues,

You are kindly invited to participate in the 3rd Language and
Technology Conference (L&TC'07), a conference organized by the Faculty
of Mathematics and Computer Science of Adam Mickiewicz University,
Poznan, Poland in cooperation with the Adam Mickiewicz University
Foundation.

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 October, 2007.

CONFERENCE TOPICS
-----------------

The conference program will include (without being limited to) the
following topics:

     * 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
     * man-machine NL interfaces
     * Logic Programming in Natural Language Processing
     * speech processing
     * NL applications in robotics
     * text-based information retrieval and extraction
     * 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
       (applications and legal aspects)
     * 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 exploitation of HLTs) or
technical developments (applications, software, language
infrastructure and tools).
Political and mature vision papers in this field are also welcome.

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).

28 et 29 juin 2007, COMeT(Communication et Travail), Toulouse;
Extension du délai de soumission



Journées d'étude 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) ?

Conférences invitées :
Ces deux journées seront marquées par des conférences invitées. Le nom

BioNLP 2007

An ACL 2007 workshop
Prague, Czech Republic
June 29, 2007
http://compbio.uchsc.edu/BioNLP2007

Natural language processing has a long history in the medical domain,
with research in the field dating back to at least 1963.  In the late
1990s, a separate thread of research involving natural language
processing in the genomic domain began to gather steam. It has become
a major focus of research in the bioinformatics, computational
biology, and computational linguistics communities. A number of
successful workshops and conference sessions have resulted, with
significant progress in the areas of named entity recognition for a
wide range of key biomedical classes, concept normalization, and
system evaluation.  A variety of publicly available resources have
contributed to this progress, as well.

Recently, the widely recognized disconnect between basic biological
research and patient care delivery stimulated development of a new
branch of biomedical research--translational medicine. Translational
medicine, sometimes defined as the facilitation of "bench-to-bedside"
transmission of knowledge, has become a hot topic, with a National
Center for Biocomputing devoted to this theme established last year.

This workshop has the goal of addressing and bringing together these
three threads in biomedical natural language processing, or "BioNLP:"
biological, translational, and clinical language processing.  We will
solicit work in any topics of current interest in the field,
especially:

- Extraction and normalization of...
       - complex biomedical relations
       - biomedical entities, including experimental methodologies
- Resources for BioNLP, including....
       - ontologies
       - knowledge bases
       - lexicons
       - annotated data sets
       - corpora
- The economics of text mining for biomedical applications, including...
       - quantifying utility to end users
       - usability and portability for non-developers
- Novel strategies for system testing and evaluation, including...
       - evaluation methods
       - resources
       - test suites
- Applications and analysis techniques that use the output of text
mining systems...
      - knowledge discovery
      - integration of publications with databases
      - visualization

Two types of submissions are invited: full papers and poster
abstracts.  Submissions are due by 11:59pm EST on March 26,
2007. Submit your paper or abstract via the ACL BioNLP 2007 site at
http://www.softconf.com/acl07/ACL07-WS5/.

Full papers should not exceed eight (8) pages including references.
These are intended to be reports of original and mature research.

Poster abstracts should not exceed two (2) pages. Accepted abstracts
will be published in a separate section of the workshop proceedings.
Appropriate poster topics include preliminary results, application
notes, descriptions of work in progress, etc.

Format: Submissions must be electronic and in PDF format, and should
follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings. Please see the
conference website for detailed typesetting specifications. Authors
are strongly encouraged to use the LaTeX or Microsoft Word style files
available on the ACL meeting website
(http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/acl2007/styles/). Authors who cannot submit a
PDF file electronically should contact the workshop organizers well in
advance of the submission deadline.

Reviewing of submissions will be blind. Do not include author names in
the paper. Avoid self-references -- instead of "As we showed in Smith
et al. 1999...", say "As Smith et al. 1999 showed...." The paper
submission software will allow you to enter full author information
separately from your paper. Each submission will be reviewed by at
least two program committee members.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submissions due: March 26, 2007 (11:59 PM EST)
Notification of acceptance: April 27, 2007
Camera-ready papers due back from authors: May 2, 2007

MLMI'07 second call for papers (apologies for multiple postings):



                4th Joint Workshop on Machine Learning
                 and Multimodal Interaction (MLMI'07)

                           28-30 June 2007

The fourth MLMI workshop is coming to Brno in the Czech Republic,
following successful workshops in Martigny (2004), Edinburgh (2005)
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.

ASSOCIATION DES LINGUISTES

DE L'ENSEIGNEMENT SUPÉRIEUR

(ALES)

3 février 2007 - Salle Las Vergnas - Centre Censier

13, rue de Santeuil - Paris 5e - Métro Censier - Daubenton

 

L'ALES organise une journée d'étude suivie de l'assemblée générale de
l'association.

 

JOURNÉE D'ÉTUDE

Epistémologie et objectifs des formations en linguistique

 

Matin 

9h : accueil

Présentation de la journée par Henri PORTINE (Université Bordeaux 3),
Président de l'ALES

 

9h30-12h : Place et visée des formalisations dans nos formations

 

Francis CORBLIN, Université Paris-Sorbonne et Institut Jean Nicod
(CNRS)

Les outils formels en sémantique : recherche et enseignement

 

L'usage d'outils formels en sémantique est aujourd'hui naturel et
productif et c'est d'ailleurs cet usage qui a fondé la discipline,
longtemps après que Bréal l'ait conçue. Quels sont la nature et le
rôle exact de ces outils et quelle conséquence en tirer pour
l'enseignement, filières spécialisées (TAL, SDL) et non spécialisées
(lettres, langues) ?

 

Jacques FRANÇOIS, Université de Caen et CRISCO, FRE 2805 (CNRS)

Deux conceptions divergentes de la projection des catégories
fonctionnelles verbales (Role and Reference Grammar vs. Modèle
Minimaliste)

 

Il s'agit de montrer comment deux théories linguistiques, la Role and
Reference Grammar de R. van Valin et le Modèle Minimaliste de
N. Chomsky, représentent les catégories fonctionnelles verbales, en
particulier les temps, les aspects et les modalités : à travers une
hiérarchie de noeuds dans l'Inflectional Phrase pour l'approche
minimaliste, avec une double projection, des constituants et des
opérateurs, pour la RGG.

 

Après-midi

13h30-16h : Linguistique et « Humanités » : pour quelles formations ?

 

Francine MAZIERE, Université Paris 13 et HTL, UMR 7597 (CNRS)

Faut-il enseigner l'histoire des idées et des pratiques linguistiques?

 

L'histoire se développe dans les cursus de sciences du langage mais
aussi dans les cursus de physique, de mathématiques... Si l'on pose
que l'histoire explicite à la fois des paramètres de temps et
d'espace, peut-on aborder le langage de façon a-historique ?
Gagne-t-on à aborder les méthodes d'analyse de façon historique ?

 

Françoise GADET, Université Paris 10 et MoDyCo, UMR 7114 (CNRS)

La sociolinguistique, entre exigences scientifiques et participation à
la société civile

A un moment où les sciences du langage se modifient profondément, sous
l'effet de leur technologisation et, dans une moindre mesure, de
différentes reconfigurations à l'intérieur des sciences humaines, à un
moment où de nombreux bouleversements historiques et sociaux
interviennent (que l'on peut résumer sous le terme de globalisation),
quel rôle et quelle place pour la sociolinguistique?

 

16h15-18h : Assemblée générale de l'Association

DEFT'07   Troisième Appel à participation

Atelier d'évaluation en fouille de textes sur la classification
de textes d'opinions

http://deft07.limsi.fr/

******************************************************************
Dates importantes :

Inscription : à partir du 18 décembre 2006
	    (http://deft07.limsi.fr/inscription.php)
Diffusion des corpus d'apprentissage : à partir du 4 janvier 2007
	    (http://deft07.limsi.fr/corpus-desc.php#telecharg)
Test : 3 jours entre le 19 mars et le 30 mars 2007,
       au choix de chaque équipe
Atelier : le 3 juillet lors de la plate-forme AFIA 2007

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

L'intérêt d'une conférence d'évaluation est de permettre de
confronter, sur un même corpus, des méthodes et logiciels d'équipes
différentes. Depuis deux ans, l'atelier d'évaluation DEFT propose des
thèmes relevant de la fouille de textes en langue française.  Les deux
éditions précédentes ont été consacrées à l'identification du locuteur
d'un discours (DEFT'05 http://www.lri.fr/ia/fdt/DEFT05/) et à la
segmentation thématique de textes (DEFT'06
http://www.lri.fr/ia/fdt/DEFT06/).

DEFT'07 se tiendra début juillet dans le cadre de la plate-forme de
l'AFIA (http://afia2007.imag.fr/). Le thème de cette nouvelle édition
est la classification de textes d'opinion.

Un texte d'opinion présente un avis argumenté, positif ou négatif, sur
un sujet donné. Les domaines faisant l'objet de textes d'opinions sont
nombreux : critiques de films ou de livres, jugements qualitatifs de
produits, controverses sur un projet politique ... les exemples ne
manquent pas. Est-il possible de classer automatiquement un texte
d'opinion suivant le jugement, favorable ou défavorable, qu'il exprime
? C'est l'enjeu du défi que nous proposons.

Pour ce défi, nous avons choisi des textes d'opinion venant de
différents domaines :

    * les critiques de films, livres, spectacles et BD ;
    * les tests de jeux vidéo ;
    * les relectures d'articles de conférences,
    * les interventions des parlementaires et du gouvernement
      dans les débats sur les projets de lois votés à l'Assemblée
      nationale.

Ces textes présentent la particularité d'être associés d'emblée à un
jugement exprimé sous la forme d'une note ou d'un vote. Ce sont ces
jugements qui serviront de référence lors de l'évaluation des
résultats. A partir de ces jugements, nous avons défini pour chaque
corpus un ensemble de classes d'opinion :

    * les classes bien, moyen, mauvais, pour les corpus sur les films,
      livres, spectacles, BD, sur les jeux vidéos, et les relectures
      d'articles

    * les classes pour et contre pour le corpus sur les projets de
      lois.

La tâche des participants à DEFT'07 consistera à attribuer
automatiquement une classe d'opinion à chaque texte - critique, test,
relecture, ou intervention - de chaque corpus.

Les équipes participant à DEFT'07 devront s'inscrire à l'aide du
formulaire en ligne, et signer les accords de restriction d'usage des
corpus (http://deft07.limsi.fr/inscription.php).

Des corpus d'apprentissage sont fournis aux participants inscrits. Ces
corpus sont composés de 60% des corpus d'origine. Ils contiennent la
classe attribuée à chaque texte. Les participants ont jusqu'à la
mi-mars pour mettre en place leurs méthodes de classification sur les
corpus d'apprentissage. Seuls les corpus d'apprentissage fournis sont
autorisés pour l'entraînement à la tâche.

Les 40% de corpus restants seront utilisés pour le test. Le test aura
lieu sur une fenêtre de 15 jours, à partir de la mi-mars. A partir de
la date qu'ils auront choisie dans cet intervalle, les participants
auront trois jours pour appliquer, sur les corpus de test, les
méthodes mises en oeuvre sur les corpus d'apprentissage.

    ********* Submission Deadline Extended to FEBRUARY 22*********

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).

Topics of Interest

NLDB 2007 invites researchers to submit papers on recent, unpublished
research on all aspects of Natural Language Processing related to
information systems. The Program Committee also encourages people from
the industry to submit papers reporting on industrial Natural Language
projects. Contributions are welcome in, but not limited to the
following topics:

· Natural Language for Web Information-Intensive Services: Semantic
Information Retrieval, Semantic Web, Semi-structured Models and
Associated Languages, Web Usage, Content and Structure Mining for
Discovering Semantics, Concept Taxonomies and Web Mining, Learning

Le groupe Traitement du Langage Parlé
(http://www.limsi.fr/tlp/index.html) du LIMSI-CNRS propose plusieurs
stages de master recherche, professionel, ou ingénieurs. Vous
trouverez les descriptifs de ces propositions à l'adresse suivante :
http://www.limsi.fr/tlp/stages/index.html

N'hésitez pas à faire circuler cette information. Les personnes
intéressées par l'une ou l'autre de ces propositions sont invitées à
contacter les responsables (de préférence par courrier électronique)
en joignant un CV et en précisant le ou les sujets concernés.


Description des activités du groupes :
Les recherches du groupe Traitement du Langage Parlé du LIMSI-CNRS ont
pour principaux objectifs de modéliser la parole et concevoir des
algorithmes pour son traitement automatique. Les activités du groupe
sont par essence pluridisciplinaires, elles abordent le traitement de
la parole d'un point de vue acoustique, phonétique, linguistique et
informatique. Elles s'intéressent également au lien entre parole et
sens, ainsi que la modélisation des processus de communication orale.

Le besoin de confronter nos modèles aux données nous amène à
développer des systèmes de traitement du langage parlé assurant des
fonctions variées telles que la reconnaissance de la parole,
l'identification de la langue, du locuteur et de son état émotionnel,
le dialogue oral homme-machine, la structuration de documents
audiovisuels, et plus récemment la traduction de la parole.

À partir d'un travail de relecture reposant sur un corpus composé
d'articles, de conférences, mais aussi de brouillons et de réflexions
inédites, Mathieu Valette rend compte de l'effort de problématisation
et de théorisation de la relation langue/pensée chez le linguiste
Gustave Guillaume (1883-1960). Il reconstruit ses positions et en
dégage les aspects novateurs qui ont fécondé jusqu'à nos jours les
travaux de linguistique générale portant sur l'énonciation et la
cognition. L'auteur évalue et illustre la réception des propositions
de Gustave Guillaume par l'étude de trois théories énonciatives et
cognitives françaises dont les auteurs appartiennent à la génération
suivante : la sémantique énonciative conceptuelle de Bernard Pottier,
la neurolinguistique analytique de Maurice Toussaint et la théorie des
opérations énonciatives d'Antoine Culioli.

Mathieu Valette est chercheur au CNRS.

-- Foundations of description logics, including distinguishing
    features of description logics with respect to other formalisms,
    expressive power of description logics, decidability and
    complexity of reasoning, and novel inference problems and
    reasoning techniques for solving these problems.

-- Extensions of description logics, including, but not limited to,
    closed world reasoning, defaults, epistemic reasoning, temporal
    and spatial reasoning, procedural knowledge, and query languages.

-- Integration of description logics with other formalisms, such as
    object-oriented representation languages, database query
    languages, constraint-based programming, logic programming, and
    rule-based systems.

-- Use of description logics in applications or areas such as natural
    language, planning, learning, databases, document management,
    semistructured data, ontology design, ontology languages, ontology
    engineering, semantic web, and grid computing.

-- Building systems based on description logics, with special emphasis
    on optimization and implementation techniques.

-- Tools that exploit description Logic reasoning, such as ontology
    editors, database schema design, query optimization, and data
    integration tools.

VENUE

The workshop will take place in the charming town of Brixen-
Bressanone, near Bozen-Bolzano in South Tyrol at the heart of the
Dolomites - the pink mountains of the Alps.  Like Bozen-Bolzano,
Brixen-Bressanone has always been a crossroads of various cultures and
it is distinguished by its mediaeval Gothic architecture.  The
mediaeval alleys and the wealth of historical references are an ideal
starting point for excursions into the countryside and for practising
a whole variety of sports and leisure activities.  Leaving directly
from the town centre delegates can set off on their bikes or on foot
for excursions into the surrounding hills and mountains.
Brixen-Bressanone is on the main arterial road between Austria/Germany
and Italy and it is easily accessible from everywhere by train, car,
bus or plane.

CALL FOR PAPERS

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

You are kindly invited to participate in the 3rd Language and
Technology Conference (LTC'07), a conference organized by the Faculty
of Mathematics and Computer Science of Adam Mickiewicz University,
Poznan, Poland in cooperation with the Adam Mickiewicz University
Foundation.

 

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 favouable 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 LTC'07 in October, 2007.

 

CONFERENCE TOPICS

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

The conference program will include (without being limited to) the 
following topics:

 

     * 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

     * man-machine NL interfaces

     * Logic Programming in Natural Language Processing

     * speech processing

     * NL applications in robotics

     * text-based information retrieval and extraction

     * 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 
       (applications and legal aspects)

     * 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 
exploitation of HLTs) or technical developments (applications, software, 
language infrastructure and tools). Political and mature vision papers 
in this field are also welcome. * *

 

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 LTC Chair by 
email (vetulani at amu.edu.pl <mailto:vetulani at amu.edu.pl>).

Final 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.

                        APPEL A COMMUNICATIONS

           Atelier "Formalismes syntaxiques de haut niveau"

         Le 8 juin 2007 à Toulouse dans le cadre de TALN 2007

           Web : http://mosaique.labri.fr/atelier_taln2007/

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

    Organisée par l'Action de Recherche Coopérative (ARC) MOSAÏQUE,
l'atelier sur les formalismes syntaxiques de haut niveau aura lieu le
8 juin 2007 à Toulouse et se tiendra conjointement avec la conférence
TALN 07 (appel à communications séparé - voir
http://www.irit.fr/taln07).  Les langues officielles de l'atelier sont
le français et l'anglais.


CALENDRIER

      * Date limite de soumission : 19 mars 2007
      * Notification aux auteurs : 9 avril 2007
      * Version finale : 15 avril 2007
      * Atelier (journée entière) : 8 juin 2007


OBJECTIF

    La communauté utilise un grand nombre de théories et de
formalismes différents pour décrire la syntaxe et la sémantique des
langues (GPSG, LFG, TAG, HPSG, GP, GI, GUST, etc). Ces modèles sont
motivés en TAL par leurs propriétés formelles : équivalence avec les
grammaires hors contexte, analyse en temps polynomial, propriété de
clôture, existence d'un algorithme d'analyse, etc. qui en font des
modèles opérationnels de la syntaxe, voire de la sémantique. Mais ces
formalismes imposent des limitations techniques qui ne répondent pas
entièrement aux attentes des linguistes, habitués à une approche plus
modulaire et descriptive de la syntaxe.

    Cet atelier thématique donne l'occasion de diffuser des
communications scientifiques portant sur la description de formalismes
de haut niveau (méta-formalismes, grammaires de contraintes,
grammaires modulaires, ou autres) qui s'affranchissent des aspects
techniques de chaque formalisme.

    Il s'adresse aussi aux linguistes qui s'intéressent à des
descriptions du langage dans un ou plusieurs modèles formels dans le
but d'abstraire des notions théoriques utiles à ces
"méta-formalismes".


THEMES

    Les communications seront d'une durée de 30 minutes, questions
comprises.

    Les soumissions sélectionnées seront disponibles sous forme
électronique sur le site de l'atelier et seront incluses aux actes de
la conférence TALN 2007.

      * La première demi-journée sera consacrée à des communications
        plus linguistiques contribuant à comparer les formalismes
        classiques et à faire émerger les caractéristiques attendues
        de la part d'un formalisme de haut niveau.

	-- repas réparateur et éventuel fossé épistémique --

      * La deuxième demi-journée sera consacrée aux travaux plus
        informatiques en Traitement Automatique des Langues portant
        sur la spécification, voire la mise en oeuvre de
        "méta-formalismes".


MODALITÉS DE SOUMISSION

    Les auteurs sont invités à soumettre des travaux de recherche
originaux, n'ayant pas fait l'objet de publications antérieures. Les
soumissions seront examinées par au moins deux membres du comité de
lecture.

Les articles soumis respecteront la mise en page demandée pour la
conférence principale TALN 2007 (10 pages A4 en Times 12, feuilles de
style téléchargeables sur http://www.irit.fr/taln07/styles.html ).
Les articles seront rédigés en français pour les francophones, en
français ou en anglais pour les non-francophones.

Le site web de l'atelier prévoira un formulaire interactif pour la
soumission des articles, qui devront alors être au format PDF. Des
instructions pour la conversion vers le format PDF à partir de Word
sont disponibles sur la page de styles du site de la conférence
principale.

Les versions finales devront être envoyées soit au format Latex, soit
au format RTF (Word). Le message d'acceptation de la proposition
indiquera l'adresse courriel pour l'envoi de la version définitive.

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, Computer Science Department, UFES, 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.

             ********SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS*******

     Workshop on Building Frame Semantics Resources for
             Scandinavian and Baltic Languages

   **held in conjunction with the NODALIDA 2007 Conference**

      *****SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO FEBRUARY 19****

DATE AND LOCATION
Date: Thursday 24 May 2007
Location: University of Tartu, Estonia
Part of the NODALIDA 2007, the 16th Nordic Conference of  
Computational Linguistics
Workshop web page: http://nlp.cs.lth.se/frame2007/
Conference web page: http://math.ut.ee/nodalida2007/


OBJECTIVES
Annotated data with role-semantic information are becoming an ever
more important resource for many semantic systems. 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.

Existing examples of role annotated corpora/resources include for
English: FrameNet, PropBank, and VerbNet, for German: Salsa, and for
Spanish: Spanish FrameNet. However, the two main initiatives outside
English take FrameNet as a semantic pivot and attempt to derive or
adapt frames to the target language using manual work or semiautomatic
systems.

As frequently observed, the itemization of frames and lexical units
and their manual annotation in a corpus is an expensive task that
requires a relatively long-term and dedicated commitment. Such an
effort is currently beyond the reach of most research teams in the
Nordic area, which could impair the quality, and possibly the
existence, of future semantic applications in these languages. This
makes the construction of a role-semantic annotated corpus and the
design of automatic or semi-automatic transfer methods a challenge as
well as an opportunity.

This workshop intends to be a forum for the research community to
review current initiatives and methods as well as ideas to start the
construction of a role annotated corpus and possibly share it across a
families of related languages. Topics of interest include (but are not
limited to):

-- Transfer and adaptation of frames and role annotation from English
and German
-- Pilot annotation/projection studies
-- Lexical inheritance mechanisms: crosslingual similarities and  
differences, protoframe design, variation and variant annotation
-- Frame alignment and projections from English/German and across  
target languages
-- Transfer of collocations, subcategorization, and grammatical  
functions to role annotation
-- General methods for multilingual corpus alignment and structure  
transfer/projection
-- "Upgrade" of existing resources: dependency annotation, small  
corpora, and bootstrapping using nonsemantically annotated data
-- Shared annotation platforms
-- Experience from other initiatives: Salsa, Romance FrameNet
-- Applications of frame semantics
-- Evaluation

IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for submitting extended abstract: February 19
Notification of acceptance: March 1
Deadline for submitting final papers, short, max. 4 pages or full,  
max. 8 pages: April 20
Workshop: May 24


SUBMISSION AND ORGANIZATION
Participants are invited to submit a one to two page extended  
abstract of their research or position statements using the NODALIDA  
styles (http://math.ut.ee/nodalida2007/author.html). Submissions must  
include author names, affiliation, and contact address. The workshop  
submissions will be reviewed by the organizing committee.

Helsinki (2001), Trento (2002), Vienna (2003), Nancy (2004), Edinburgh
(2005) and Malaga (2006).


Aims and Scope

FG provides a forum for the presentation of new and original research
on formal grammar, mathematical linguistics and the application of
formal and mathematical methods to the study of natural language.
Themes of interest include, but are not limited to,

o formal and computational phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics
 and pragmatics;
o model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics;
o logical aspects of linguistic structure;
o constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar;
o learnability of formal grammar;
o integration of stochastic and symbolic models of grammar;
o foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar;
o mathematical foundations of statistical approaches to linguistic
 analysis.

Previous conferences in this series have welcomed papers from a wide
variety of frameworks.


Submission Details

We invite **electronic** submissions of original, unpublished
30-minute papers (including questions, comments, and
discussion). Papers should report original work which was not
presented in other conferences.  However, simultaneous submission is
allowed, provided that the authors indicate other conference to which
the work was submitted on the paper submission form. Of course,
accepted papers can only be presented in one of the venues.

Papers, written in English, should be **anonymous** and refrain from
self-reference. They should be no longer than 12 A4 pages, with wide
margins so that the printed area is not larger than 11x18 cm., single
column, point size 11 or 12.
Preparation of the manuscript in LaTeX, using the available style

Stages : Linguistes en  Espagnol, Allemand, Italien, Portugais, Chinois

 

Société : VirtuOz SA (30 personnes) www.virtuoz.com

 

Lieu : Paris 9ème

 

Equipe : Recherche & Développement

 

Présentation du domaine : 

VirtuOz développe une plateforme d'agents conversationnels. Un agent
conversationnel ou bot émule un dialogue écrit (chat) avec un
utilisateur humain. Les bots de VirtuOz s'appuient sur des analyses
linguistiques profondes (notamment syntaxique et sémantique), afin de
transformer une phrase en représentation sémantique
normalisée. Ensuite, un moteur de raisonnement, dans ce monde
sémantique, détermine la réponse et/ou les actions que doit
entreprendre le bot.

 

Nos bots sont utilisés par des entreprises pour leur service clients
(voir par exemple Téa sur www.discounteo.com, Léa de
www.voyages-sncf.com ...), ainsi que dans des projets de plateformes
intelligentes très ambitieux.

 

Objectifs du stage :

Le but du stage proposé est de participer à l'adaptation de
l'analyseur syntaxique et de la configuration d'un agent pour une
langue donnée.

En collaboration avec la Responsable du Département Linguistique de
VirtuOz SA, votre mission consistera à :

- Etablir des règles de fonctionnement de l'analyseur syntaxique

- Configurer un agent conversationnel pré-existant, du Français vers
la langue cible.

 

Ensuite, la validation de ces nouvelles compétences se fera « sur le
terrain », c'est-à-dire au cours de conversations avec l'agent créé.

 

Profil recherché :

Vous êtes locuteur natif de l'une des langues cible. Vous avez des
compétences en informatique et/ou en linguistique et vous disposez de
qualités rédactionnelles (orthographe, clarté d'expression écrite et
orale).

Vous êtes rigoureux(se), curieux(se), et vous avez le sens de
l'adaptation.  Vous aimez les nouvelles technologies et vous êtes
motivé(e) à investir votre dynamisme au sein d'une équipe innovante.

 

 

Le stage se déroule à partir de mars 2007. La rémunération est à
définir en fonction du profil.

Interaction et pragmatique, Jeux de dialogue et de langage

Jean Caelen et Anne Xuereb

 

1.	Présentation de l'ouvrage :

Cet ouvrage est une contribution au domaine de l'interaction
homme-machine, incluant des aspects, théoriques, méthodologiques et
pratiques. Le dialogue humain est la forme la plus achevée de
l'interaction car il sert non seulement à se comprendre mais aussi à
agir et à se coordonner pour agir. Le dialogue est traité au fil des
chapitres sous toutes ses formes d'intrication avec l'action (la tâche
en cours), les buts, les stratégies des acteurs mais aussi leurs
connaissances, leurs rôles et leurs énoncés en langue - c'est-à-dire
la pragmatique. Cette dernière est également centrale dans le livre,
car elle est le lieu de passage des énoncés à l'action et de l'action
aux objets du monde. Prise en compte en philosophie du langage et en
ethnométhodologie, elle a été, en revanche, souvent négligée par les
concepteurs de systèmes d'interface homme-machine et par certains
linguistes : l'ouvrage redonne toute sa place à l'interprétation
pragmatique comme processus autonome dans la modélisation du dialogue.

Le propos de ce livre est un parcours théorique et appliqué, partant
des théories du dialogue humain, s'arrêtant sur les jeux dialogiques
(inspirés de la théorie des jeux) et la pragmatique, et aboutissant à
la réalisation de systèmes de dialogue homme-machine. Les questions de
multimodalité et d'évaluation sont abordées, donnant des perspectives
de recherche. Le livre fait le point des théories actuelles, donne des
exemples clairs autour de contributions originales. Il a été rédigé
dans un esprit pédagogique à l'usage des étudiants et des chercheurs.

 

2.	Biographie(s) :

Jean Caelen est directeur de recherches au CNRS. Il travaille sur le
dialogue homme-machine et la conception des systèmes interactifs après
avoir développé des systèmes de reconnaissance de la parole. Ses
recherches couvrent un spectre large et approfondi en dialogue,
incluant des aspects liés aux sciences humaines.

Anne Xuereb est ingénieur en informatique. Ses travaux de recherche
portent sur la pragmatique du dialogue, en particulier sur les aspects
inférentiels de la communication et leur prise en compte pour le
dialogue homme-machine.  Son point de départ est l'ingénierie des
langues et le traitement du langage naturel.

Bonjour,

dans le cadre du projet Scientext financé par l'ANR, nous recherchons
des articles scientifiques, *des thèses, des mémoires et des rapports
de recherche, *afin de constituer *un corpus de textes scientifiques.*
Ce corpus, couvrant un large éventail de disciplines scientifiques,
sera utilisé à des fins d'observation linguistique (aspects discursifs
concernant le positionnement de l'auteur, l'évidentialité, le
raisonnement logique, la causalité, les collocations, etc.). Sur le
plan des applications, un tel corpus pourra constituer un outil
intéressant pour aider à la rédaction scientifique.

Il sera interrogeable en ligne, via une interface permettant de
rechercher des expressions complexes. *Nous prévoyons aussi une
diffusion libre des textes intégraux* (mais sans les schémas,
graphiques, tableaux, etc.), balisés au format xml, suivant un modèle
du type "Creative Common" (pas d'utilisation à des fins commerciales).

*DOMAINES CONCERNES(pour cet appel): Informatique, Linguistique
informatique (ou TALN) FORMAT : source RTF, LaTeX, ODT, ou DOC (pas de
PS ni de PDF) GENRE TEXTUEL : Thèse, article, mémoire, rapport de
recherche LANGUE : Français*

Submission of Papers:

   Prospective authors are invited to submit their full paper (about 5
   to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to H. R. Arabnia
   by Feb. 20, 2007 (hra at cs.uga.edu). E-mail submissions in MS Doc or
   PDF formats are preferable (postal mail 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/track
   that the paper is being submitted to must be stated on the first
   page.

   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 track 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.) Many members of the program committee for
   individual conferences include renowned leaders, scholars,
   researchers, scientists and practitioners of the highest ranks;
   many are directors of large research laboratories, IEEE Fellows,
   heads/chairs of departments, deans and provosts.  Each committee
   also includes two Student Members (in their final stages of their
   PhD programs) who are identified as such.  Refer to the conference
   web sites for the list of members of program committee.

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 25 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 event.

   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.

Important Dates:

   Feb.  20, 2007:    Submission of full papers (about 5 to 8 pages)
   March 20, 2007:    Notification of acceptance
   April 20, 2007:    Camera-Ready papers and Registration due
   June 25-28, 2007:  The 2007 World Congress in Computer Science,
                      Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing
                      (WORLDCOMP'07)

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

Ana Kupsc :
Titre: Extraction de cadres de sous-categorisation verbale à partir  
du treebank de Paris7

Résumé : Je vais présenter une expérience d'extraction automatique de
sous-catégorisation de 1362 verbes francais à partir du corpus arboré
de Paris7 (10 000 phrases donc ils sont extraits 12 510 occurrences
verbales). Je présente une évaluation de l'extraction des cadres basée
sur la fonction des arguments, ce qui fournit 39 cadres différents
avec une moyenne de 1,75 cadres par lemme. Ensuite, sont présentés les
résultats pour une approche mixte (avec fonction et catégorie
syntaxique) qui nous fournit dans un premier temps 925 cadres
différents, avec une moyenne de 3,44 cadres par lemme. Je vais
discuter aussi plusieurs méthodes de factorisation (qui neutralisent
par exemple les variantes de réalisation avec le passif ou les pronoms
clitiques) afin de réduire le nombre des cadres et le taux
d'ambiguité.

========
Titre: La formalisation des entassements paradigmatiques dans une  
grammaire du français

Résumé: Les grammaires formelles actuelles ne représentent que des
constructions syntagmatiques ou des structures dépendancielles
équivalentes. Pourtant, dès lors que l'on s'intéresse à la
formalisation des descriptions linguistiques de corpus, on constate
que la prise en compte de la dimension paradigmatique des structures
est dans certains cas nécessaire aux analyses proposées. Je montrerai
ici comment, me basant sur les travaux de l'Approche Pronominale, j'ai
représenté cet axe de structuration linguistique dans mon modèle de
grammaire formelle du français, et j'illustrerai mon propos à l'aide
d'exemples d'analyses de coordinations et de disfluences.

Mots-clés: Approche Pronominale, Grammaires de Propriétés, Syntaxe,  
Développement de grammaire, Linguistique descriptive, Linguistique  
formelle, Coordination, Disfluences, Entassements paradigmatiques.

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.

Apologies for multiple postings!

Paper submission deadline for the MTT 2007 Conference extended to  
February, 25th!

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

              - Final Call for Papers -

The Meaning-Text Theory is a holistic linguistic theory characterized
in particular by the central position of the lexicon, the primacy of
semantics, the importance of the communicative structure (=
information structure), and the reliance on dependencies on all
levels. 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 that aims at bringing together researchers working
on MTT, other dependency-based linguistic theories and computational
applications drawing upon dependency theories. The special goal of
this conference is to open MTT more to researchers working in related
frameworks.

Before the main conference, a social program will be offered. After
the main conference, a 1/2 day tutorial on natural language generation
in the framework of MTT is foreseen.

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).  The submission format must be
pdf. For more detailed format guidelines, see the web site of the
conference.

The electronic submission web site is accessible via the main
conference site.  No hardcopy or email submissions addressed to the
conference organizers will be accepted.

Résumé :
------------

Aujourd'hui, le Web met à la disposition du grand public un très grand
nombre de données et les systèmes de recherche d'informations
développés ces dernières années sont des outils pratiques pour qui
souhaite trouver une réponse à une question sur tout type de
domaine. Mais là où les dictionnaires, encyclopédies et bases de
données fournissent une réponse synthétique et cohérente, une analyse
rapide des réponses proposées par les moteurs montrent que celles-ci
sont très souvent non pertinentes, incohérentes, etc. C'est donc à
l'utilisateur qu'il revient de trier et de rechercher au sein de ces
pages la réponse à sa question. Cette démarche entraîne une perte de
temps considérable, sans pour autant avoir l'assurance de trouver une
réponse correcte.  Le problème qui se pose alors est le problème de la
pertinence et de la cohérence des réponses proposées à
l'utilisateur. Les systèmes question-réponse proposent une alternative
à ces problèmes.

Pour cette thèse, nous nous plaçons dans le cadre des systèmes
question-réponse coopératifs sur le Web. Nos principaux objectifs sont
de modéliser, concevoir et évaluer un système capable, à partir d'une
question en langue naturelle, de rechercher les réponses pertinentes
sur le Web et de générer en langue naturelle une réponse synthétique,
même quand le moteur de recherche sélectionne plusieurs réponses
potentielles. Pour cela, il faut intégrer entre autres les attentes
des utilisateurs et des techniques de traitement de
l'information. Travaillant en domaine ouvert, nous nous sommes plus
particulièrement intéressés à deux types de questions : les questions
attendant des réponses temporelles et des réponses numériques.

Notre système a donc pour but :

- l'intégration d'informations provenant des différentes réponses
  potentielles à une question. Ce composant permet notamment de
  détecter les incohérences de données et de prendre en compte les
  attentes de l'utilisateur pour produire une réponse appropriée,

- la génération en langue de réponses et d'explications pertinentes en utilisant des techniques
  de génération de langue naturelle.

Nous proposons également des méthodes d'évaluation adéquates pour
évaluer le système :

- d'un point de vue technique en évaluant les performances de chacun
  des composants du système,

- d'un point de vue cognitif en confrontant les utilisateurs aux
  réponses produites.

Les produits d'aide à la décision par l'analyse automatique de données
textuelles sont nombreux. Or, à ce jour, beaucoup d'entreprises ne
perçoivent pas l'enjeu d'un tel outil. C'est pourquoi le département
Information-Communication de l'IUT de Besançon organise le jeudi 15
mars 2007 une journée d'échanges entre professionnels sur la fouille
de textes, intitulée :

                   Explorez les dessous des textes

                 grâce aux logiciels de text-mining.

Le programme a deux objectifs :

- d'une part, présenter l'intérêt et le principe des logiciels de
  fouille de textes, ainsi que le témoignage d'entreprises
  utilisatrices

- d'autre part, évaluer les performances de ces logiciels à partir de
  corpus de documents réellement stratégiques pour les entreprises.

Les logiciels présentés seront : Erdilex de ERDIL ; Keywatch, d'ISCOPE
; Kaliwatch, d'ARISEM ; et la suite LINGWAY.

Renseignements et inscriptions : www.jft2007.com ; jft-2007 at hotmail.fr

Nous comptons sur votre présence à cette journée.

Titre : Détection de communautés d'opinions dans des réseaux
socio-sémantiques de la blogosphère
 
Stage Master 2 Informatique : début avril 07, débouchant sur une thèse
 
Responsable : Cécile Bothorel
 
Sujet : 
Actuellement, nous cherchons à analyser des blogs ou tout autre
contenu textuel produit par les internautes échangeant des opinions en
relation avec des contenus multi-médias. Dans le cadre d'une
participation à un projet européen IST,   nous pensons améliorer la
recommandation de contenus en comprenant mieux ce qu'en pense les
internautes. 


Concrètement, l'analyse de la blogosphère que nous proposons, dans le
contexte de la recommandation, a pour but de trouver de nouvelles
"relations qualifiées" inter-films. Cela signifie découvrir : 


(1) des co-apparitions de citations de films dans les blogs avec si
    possible l'information de quelles caractérisques sont discutées,
    approuvées ou critiquées, degré de similitudes : typage fins des
    relations inter-films. Pour ce faire, nous souhaitons tester
    différents outils : statistiques et/ou basés sur le traitement
    automatique de la langue naturelle.  


(2) utiliser les interactions (qui commente qui) et les techniques
    d'analyse de graphe, de clustering sur les graphes, de propagation
    d'étiquettes, de détection de communautés pour constituer des
    communautés d'opinion ou des clusters de films qui suscitent des
    émotions proches. 


Le candidat que nous recherchons doit avoir des connaissances en
text-mining (techniques statistiques d'analyse de textes) avec de
solides compétences en informatique, avec un intérêt fort pour les
graphes (réseaux sociaux)  et plus largement la sphère des contenus
auto-produits. Un stage de DEA est recommandé avant la thèse, nous
avons la possibilité de l'accueillir dès à présent. La thèse
débuterait fin 2007, avec une bourse interne (CDD Orange), et serait
en étroite relation avec le projet européen Pharos.

VIENT DE PARAITRE
de Gerard DANOU, medecin rhumatologue, praticien hospitalier dans un
centre anti-douleur de la region parisienne, docteur HDR charge de
cours a Paris 7

LANGUE, RECIT, LITTERATURE DANS L'EDUCATION MEDICALE
Preface de François Dagognet

La lecture de Baudelaire, Flaubert, Celine, Michaux peut inciter le
medecin a reflechir a ce qu'il dit, a ce qu'il fait. Chacun de ses
patients parle de son corps, dit ses apprehensions ou sa douleur
tandis que lui-meme cherche la bonne distance pour ecouter ce recit,
le bon langage pour y repondre. Sa formation medicale exige de lui
qu'il controle ses emotions et mette entre parentheses son histoire
personnelle. Cet oubli de soi est sans doute necessaire pour agir
froidement mais aussi iatrogene lorsqu'il vient bloquer l'ecoute ou la
reponse. D'ou l'interet de s'interroger sur le role qu'une culture
linguistique et litteraire peut jouer dans la pratique medicale et
dans la formation des medecins.

Problématique 

La formalisation et le traitement automatique des langues slaves sont
des domaines relativement peu explorés par rapport aux recherches
menées sur l'anglais ou le français. Quant aux études contrastives
adoptant une approche formelle des langues slaves, elles restent le
plus souvent confinées à des travaux mettant en parallèle une langue
slave et l'anglais, alors que la comparaison avec le français est plus
rarement abordée.  L'objectif de ce numéro de BULAG est précisément
d'offrir un aperçu des études comparées des langues slaves et du
français relevant de la linguistique formelle. Nous souhaitons ainsi
faire le point sur l'état de la recherche dans ce domaine et essayer
de répondre aux questions suivantes : à quels niveaux se situent les
divergences entre les langues slaves et le français ? Comment les
formaliser et comment les neutraliser ? Quels sont les plus grands
besoins pour permettre le traitement automatique de ces langues ?
Peut-on exploiter les travaux comparés des langues slaves et de
l'anglais dans les études comparées du français ? Ou bien chaque paire
de langues demande-t-elle une analyse contrastive à part ?

 

Thèmes 

Les thèmes qui seront abordés dans ce Bulag incluent de façon non
limitative :

- modélisation en linguistique contrastive

- formalisation des données de nature morphologique, syntaxique,
sémantique, pragmatique

- problématique de traduction : divergences et convergences;
désambiguïsation

- traitement automatique (traduction automatique, traitement de
données bi- et multilingues, outils et bases de données bi- et
multilingues, corpus parallèles, lexiques et terminologies bi- et
multilingues)

- technologies d'aide à l'apprentissage des langues

 

Langues 

Les articles seront rédigés en français ou en anglais.

Title:

Slavic languages and French: formal approaches in contrastive studies

 

Coordination:  

Aleksandra Dziadkiewicz and Izabella Thomas

 

Topic:  

The formalisation and the machine processing of Slavic languages are
relatively little explored domains in comparison with the research
undertaken on English and French.  As for the contrastive studies
adopting a formal approach to Slavic languages, they remain for the
most part confined to works comparing a Slavic language and English,
whilst the comparison with French is more rarely undertaken. The
purpose of this number of BULAG is precisely to offer an outline of
the comparative studies using formal linguistics of Slavic languages
and French. We thus wish to find out the state of research in this
domain and try to answer the following questions.  What are the main
difficulties in describing divergences between Slavic languages and
French? How can we formalise them and how can we neutralise them? What
kinds of resources do we need to enable machine processing of these
languages? Can we take advantage of comparative works of Slavic
languages and English in comparative studies with French? Following on
from this question, does every pair of languages need a separate
contrastive analysis?

 

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: 

- modelling in contrastive linguistics 

- formalisation of morphological, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic data

- translation topics: divergences and convergences between languages;
disambiguating

- natural language processing (machine translation, bi- or
multilingual data processing, bi- or multilingual database and tools,
parallel corpora, lexica and terminologies)

- language learning tools

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


* Satellite events

MLMI'07 will feature special sessions and satellite events such as the
Summer school of the European Masters in Speech and Language
(http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/emasters/) and the PASCAL Speech Separation
Challenge II (http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/mlincol1/SSC2/).  To

(http://www.springer.com/east/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=5-164-7-72376-0).


* 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.

=====================================================
Journée  ATALA (http://www.atala.org/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=2)
La résolution des anaphores en Traitement Automatique des Langues       
             PARIS (ENST) ? le 16 juin 2007               
=====================================================
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
verrous 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

Submission of Papers:

   Prospective authors are invited to submit their full paper (about 5
   to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to H. R. Arabnia
   by March 4, 2007 (hra at cs.uga.edu). E-mail submissions in MS Doc or
   PDF formats are preferable (postal mail 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/track
   that the paper is being submitted to must be stated on the first
   page.

   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 track 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.) Many members of the program committee for
   individual conferences include renowned leaders, scholars,
   researchers, scientists and practitioners of the highest ranks;
   many are directors of large research laboratories, IEEE Fellows,
   heads/chairs of departments, deans and provosts.  Each committee
   also includes two Student Members (in their final stages of their
   PhD programs) who are identified as such.  Refer to the conference
   web sites for the list of members of program committee.

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 tracks of WORLDCOMP are considered to be
   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 event.

   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.

Important Dates:

   March 4, 2007:     Submission of full/draft papers (about 5 to 8 pages)
   April 4, 2007:     Notification of acceptance
   April 27, 2007:    Camera-Ready papers and Registration due
   June 25-28, 2007:  The 2007 World Congress in Computer Science,
                      Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing
                      (WORLDCOMP'07)

LOCATION

Plzeò (Pilsen) is located in Western Bohemia on the confluence of four
rivers. With 170 thousand inhabitants it is the fourth largest city in
the Czech Republic and an important industrial, commercial, cultural,
and administrative center.

Plzeò is well known for its brewing tradition. The trademark
Pilsner-Urquell penetrated all over the world thanks to the
traditional recipe, high quality hops and good wells. Beer lovers will
also appreciate a visit to the Brewery museum or the Brewery itself.

Apart from its famous beer, Plzeò has a lot of hidden treasures in its
core.  Plzeò can pride itself on the second largest synagogue in
Europe. The old city center is dominated by a 13th-century Gothic
church which features the highest tower in Bohemia (102.34 m). It is
possible to go up the stairs and admire the panorama. Not far from the
church is a splendid Renaissance Town Hall from 1558 and plenty of
pleasant cafes and pubs.

Plzeò has also a beautiful historical underground under the city
center there are 25 km of tunnels. Visitors can pass through the most
beautiful part of thislabyrinth.

It is also recommended to visit the zoo having the second largest
space for bears in Europe and keeping the Komodo dragons - large
lizards existing in only a few zoos in the world.

In the neighborhood of the city there are castle Radynì and
hunting-seat Kozel. St. Peter's Rotunda in Starý Plzenec was built in
the 10th century.

The University of West Bohemia in Plzeò provides a variety of courses
for both Czech and international students. It is the only institution
of higher education in this part of the country which prepares
students for careers in engineering (electrical and mechanical),
science (computer science, applied mathematics, physics, and
mechanics), education (both primary and secondary), economics,
philosophy, politology, archaeology, anthropology, foreign languages,
law and public administration, art and design.


GETTING THERE

The city has an access from the D5 highway connecting Prague (Praha)
with Germany. Plzeò has a very good bus and train connections with the
capital Prague (takes about 1 - 1.5 hour). From the international
airport Prague - Ruzynì you can reach Plzeò by frequent public
transport in 1.5 - 2 hours.


SOCIAL EVENTS

The international conference will also include social events and trips
i.e.  visit of brewery and city sightseeing.

Rappel

Coldoc 2007 ­ UMR 7114 MoDyCo ­ Université Paris X Nanterre

Appel à communication
 
L'édition 2007 de Coldoc, le colloque des doctorants et jeunes chercheurs de
Sciences du langage de Paris X Nanterre, aura pour thème :

 
« Le vocabulaire scientifique et technique en Sciences du Langage »
 
Toute recherche s'exprime verbalement et l'on pourrait s'attendre à ce
que la rigueur scientifique ait pour corrélat obligé celle de la
définition monosémique et stable de son lexique. Or en fait, pour
évidente que puisse paraître cette exigence, son application semble
l'être moins, car le choix des termes employés dans le cadre d'un
travail scientifique n'a rien d'automatique ni d'anodin. L'objectif de
ce colloque sera de s'interroger sur les problèmes que pose le
vocabulaire scientifique dans les Sciences du Langage.

 

Un même terme peut désigner une réalité très différente selon le
contexte théorique dans lequel on l'emploie, comme discours qui n'a
pas le même sens en syntaxe, en linguistique textuelle ou en
sociolinguistique. Inversement, un terme peut être révélateur d'une
théorie et d'une seule (tel complémenteur, associé à la grammaire
chomskyenne). Existe-t-il des termes neutres, qui ne reflètent aucune
théorie ? Faut-il inventer un nouveau vocabulaire pour chaque nouvelle
théorie - mais la tentative de Damourette & Pichon montre que cela
peut nuire à la diffusion de la recherche ? Dans quel cas l'emploi
d'un néologisme se justifie-t-il ? En France, par exemple, il n'y a
pas de critères scientifiques au choix des néologismes au niveau
officiel.

Les termes sont constamment réemployés et réinterrogés ou
réinterprétés par chaque chercheur. Ne risquent-ils pas de perdre de
leur pertinence et d'arriver à une possible vacuité (comme on peut le
voir du terme signifié devenant le simple synonyme de sens) ?

Le vocabulaire scientifique est également soumis à l'effet du
temps. Que peut nous apprendre l'étude de l'évolution d'un terme, tant
sur le terme lui-même, que sur l'histoire de la linguistique ?

Par ailleurs, le vocabulaire scientifique se diffuse parfois dans des
ouvrages destinés à des non-spécialistes, ce qui pose alors le
problème de savoir si la vulgarisation d'un terme lui fait perdre de
sa scientificité.

Le choix des termes pose également le problème des échanges entre
chercheurs. Devrait-on en Sciences du Langage avoir un vocabulaire
unifié, permettant de communiquer ensemble, par delà toute théorie ?
Si ce n'est en Sciences du langage, tout du moins à l'intérieur de
chaque domaine ? Est-ce seulement possible, quand on sait qu'à l'heure
actuelle il n'existe pas même de définition unique pour des termes
comme « phrase » ? On peut s'intéresser aux tentatives qui ont été
faites à ce sujet, à travers les constructions de dictionnaires
terminologiques.

Le problème de l'échange des savoirs se pose également dans le cadre
de la traduction: les termes sont-ils traduisibles ? En quelle mesure
cela influe-t-il sur l'internationalisation des recherches ?

La question du choix des termes a aussi son importance en didactique.
Peut-on employer le même vocabulaire, ou bien est-il nécessaire
d'avoir un vocabulaire spécifique ?

 

Les communications, au nombre d'une douzaine et d'une durée de trente
minutes suivies de dix minutes de discussion, pourront traiter le
sujet selon les pistes suivantes :

- un exemple concret d'un problème rencontré au cours d'une recherche
autour d'un terme

- le problème de termes reflétant une orientation théorique
particulière

- l'évolution d'un terme dans le temps ou à travers diverses théories

- le choix de conserver ou non un terme et de le redéfinir ou non

- la nécessité, ou non, de créer un néologisme

- la perte de scientificité, ou non, d'un terme due à sa vulgarisation
ou à son épuisement

- la nécessité, ou non, d'unification du métalangage pour les échanges
dans le monde de la recherche, d'un point de vue épistémologique, ou
en étudiant un cas concret de tentative d'unification, à travers par
exemple l'élaboration de dictionnaires

-       l'emploi des termes en didactique

 

Il sera également ouvert une session poster (environ dix) hors thème.

 

Les modalités de soumission sont les suivantes :

Envoyer à l'adresse coldoc07paris10 at yahoo.fr
<mailto:coldoc2007paris10 at yahoo.fr>  avant le 15 mars :

- Dans un fichier attaché un résumé anonyme d'une page minimum à deux
pages maximum comprenant un titre, un résumé, une bibliographie de 5
titres maximum, une liste de mots clés (Police 12, marge
2,5). Préciser au début du fichier s'il s'agit d'une proposition pour
une communication ou pour la session poster. Le fichier est au format
.doc ou .pdf et sera nommé titre_abrégé_de_la_communication.doc ou
.pdf

- Indiquer dans le corps de message votre nom, votre adresse mail, le
titre de la communication, l'université et le laboratoire de
rattachement, le directeur de thèse, la date de soutenance de thèse le
cas échéant.

 

Nous prévoyons une publication électronique des actes du colloque. Les
versions écrites seront de nouveau soumises à une lecture anonyme par
le comité scientifique. Les textes seront à remettre le 30 juin.

   email: hra at cs.uga.edu

Submission of Papers:

   Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft/full paper
   (about 5 to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to
   H. R. Arabnia by Feb. 20, 2007 (hra at cs.uga.edu). E-mail submissions
   in MS Doc or PDF formats are preferable (postal mail 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 track 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.) Many members
   of the program committee for individual conferences include renowned
   leaders, scholars, researchers, scientists and practitioners of the
   highest ranks; many are directors of large research laboratories,
   IEEE Fellows, heads/chairs of departments, deans and provosts.
   Each committee also includes two Student Members (in their final stages
   of their PhD programs) who are identified as such.  Refer to the
   conference web sites for the list of members of program committee.

Co-Sponsors (a partial list):

   Academic Co-Sponsors of WORLDCOMP'07 include:
     - Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Laboratory,
       MIT (Cambridge, Massachusetts)
     - Statistical Genomics and Computational Biology Laboratory,
       Department of Statistics, Harvard University (Cambridge,
       Massachusetts)
     - Texas Advanced Computing Center, The University of Texas at
       Austin (Austin, Texas)

     - GRIDtoday
     - STEM Education Society
     - HPCSoft, HPC Software Inc.
     - International Technology Institute (ITI)
     - H2cM - Hodges' Health, UK

Location of Conferences:

   The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort hotel, Las Vegas,
   Nevada, USA.  This 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, sunning
   decks, Easy River water ride, wave pool, lighted tennis courts,
   health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool, sauna, ...),
   nightly shows, snack bars, many 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, night clubs, free
   street shows, Golf courses, ...).

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 25 joint conferences in WORLDCOMP are the
   premier conferences for presentation of advances in their respective
   fields.  Most of these conferences have been evaluated and determined
   to be top tier research conferences
   (see http://www.cs-conference-ranking.org/index.html for an example).
   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.

Important Dates:

   Feb.  20, 2007:    Submission of full/draft papers (about 5 to 8 pages)
   March 20, 2007:    Notification of acceptance
   April 20, 2007:    Camera-Ready papers and Registration due
   June 25-28, 2007:  The 2007 World Congress in Computer Science,
                      Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing
                      (WORLDCOMP'07 - 25 joint conferences)

APPEL ? COMMUNICATIONS

Analyse de texte par ordinateur, multilinguisme et applications

Colloque organis? dans le cadre du 75e Congr?s annuel de l'ACFAS,
Trois-Rivi?res, Canada, 10-11 mai 2007.

*** Veuillez prendre note de la nouvelle date limite de soumission : 7 f?vrier 2007 ***


DESCRIPTION

   Avec l'essor rapide du Web, l'acc?s ? l'information devient un d?fi
   des plus importants pour la plupart des chercheurs. ? cet ?gard,
   les travaux r?cents t?moignent de la pertinence de jumeler des
   concepts et des techniques provenant de divers territoires de
   recherche parmi lesquels figurent la linguistique (fondamentale et
   computationnelle), la psychologie et les sciences cognitives,
   l'intelligence artificielle et l'apprentissage machine ainsi que
   l'informatique.

   Le d?fi ? relever est majeur et de plus en plus complexe, entre
   autres en raison du multilinguisme qui caract?rise de plus en plus
   le Web. Apr?s avoir ?t? majoritairement compos? de documents en
   anglais, le Web est peu ? peu devenu un lieu de cohabitation de
   documents en diff?rentes langues. Le multilinguisme du Web est une
   r?alit? que l'on ne peut ignorer ? l'heure actuelle, surtout dans
   les domaines de l'acc?s et de la recherche d'informations.

   Les cons?quences de ces d?veloppements affectent profond?ment les
   pratiques de plusieurs domaines. Ainsi, du point de vue du g?nie
   logiciel, on cherchera, dans la mesure du possible, ? ?viter de
   d?velopper, pour chaque langue, des versions autonomes d'une m?me
   application. On cherchera plut?t ? construire une base commune ?
   laquelle seront coupl?s des modules sp?cifiques ? chaque langue. Du
   point de vue linguistique, on s'attachera davantage ? proposer des
   moyens qui permettront de rendre cette base commune aussi large ou
   universelle que possible, alors que l'on tentera de r?duire au
   minimum les exigences des modules sp?cifiques ? chaque langue.

   Les applications issues de ces d?veloppements sont aussi des plus
   importantes. Dans le domaine de la recherche d'informations, les
   strat?gies de recherche sur le web, employant traditionnellement
   des mots clefs, sont de plus en plus remises en question au profit
   de strat?gies (num?riques, symboliques ou hybrides) int?grant des
   dimensions s?mantiques de plus en plus importantes (application de
   strat?gies de classification, moteurs de recherche d'informations
   fond?s sur les ontologies, etc.). 


TH?MES
   Ce colloque est consacr? au domaine g?n?ral de l'analyse de texte
   par ordinateur, en consid?rant plus particuli?rement les liens
   entre ce domaine, le multilinguisme et les applications
   informatiques qui y sont associ?es. Les chercheurs dont les travaux
   traitent de l'une ou l'autre de ces dimensions sont invit?s ?
   soumettre une proposition de communication.


CRIT?RES DE S?LECTION
   Les propositions de communications seront examin?es par un comit?
   de lecture, lequel tiendra compte de la qualit? scientifique, de la
   conformit? avec le th?me du colloque et de l'originalit? de la
   proposition.


MODALIT?S DE SOUMISSION
   Les chercheurs souhaitant participer ? ce colloque sont invit?s ?
   soumettre leur proposition de communication sous la forme d'un
   r?sum? d'environ 500 mots accompagn? d'une bibliographie. Les
   soumissions doivent ?tre envoy?es par courriel ? Dominic Forest
   (dominic.forest at umontreal.ca).

3rd Language & Technology Conference:
Human Language Technologies as a Challenge for Computer Science and
Linguistics
October 5-7, 2007, Poznan, Poland, www.ltc.amu.edu.pl

CALL FOR PAPERS

Dear Colleagues,

You are kindly invited to participate in the 3rd Language and
Technology Conference (L&TC'07), a conference organized by the Faculty
of Mathematics and Computer Science of Adam Mickiewicz University,
Poznan, Poland in cooperation with the Adam Mickiewicz University
Foundation.

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 October, 2007.

CONFERENCE TOPICS
-----------------

The conference program will include (without being limited to) the
following topics:

     * 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
     * man-machine NL interfaces
     * Logic Programming in Natural Language Processing
     * speech processing
     * NL applications in robotics
     * text-based information retrieval and extraction
     * 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
       (applications and legal aspects)
     * 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 exploitation of HLTs) or
technical developments (applications, software, language
infrastructure and tools).
Political and mature vision papers in this field are also welcome.

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).

28 et 29 juin 2007, COMeT(Communication et Travail), Toulouse;
Extension du d?lai de soumission



Journ?es d'?tude COMeT :

COMmunication et Travail

Communication, Travail & SHS :

Quelles rencontres possibles ?

 Toulouse, les 28 et 29 juin 2007

 Journ?es d'?tude interdisciplinaires

 Organis?es par un collectif de doctorants et jeunes chercheurs de trois
laboratoires :

- 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.

Au terme de ces deux journ?es, une table ronde fera la synth?se des
questions d?battues.

BioNLP 2007

An ACL 2007 workshop
Prague, Czech Republic
June 29, 2007
http://compbio.uchsc.edu/BioNLP2007

Natural language processing has a long history in the medical domain,
with research in the field dating back to at least 1963.  In the late
1990s, a separate thread of research involving natural language
processing in the genomic domain began to gather steam. It has become
a major focus of research in the bioinformatics, computational
biology, and computational linguistics communities. A number of
successful workshops and conference sessions have resulted, with
significant progress in the areas of named entity recognition for a
wide range of key biomedical classes, concept normalization, and
system evaluation.  A variety of publicly available resources have
contributed to this progress, as well.

Recently, the widely recognized disconnect between basic biological
research and patient care delivery stimulated development of a new
branch of biomedical research--translational medicine. Translational
medicine, sometimes defined as the facilitation of "bench-to-bedside"
transmission of knowledge, has become a hot topic, with a National
Center for Biocomputing devoted to this theme established last year.

This workshop has the goal of addressing and bringing together these
three threads in biomedical natural language processing, or "BioNLP:"
biological, translational, and clinical language processing.  We will
solicit work in any topics of current interest in the field,
especially:

- Extraction and normalization of...
       - complex biomedical relations
       - biomedical entities, including experimental methodologies
- Resources for BioNLP, including....
       - ontologies
       - knowledge bases
       - lexicons
       - annotated data sets
       - corpora
- The economics of text mining for biomedical applications, including...
       - quantifying utility to end users
       - usability and portability for non-developers
- Novel strategies for system testing and evaluation, including...
       - evaluation methods
       - resources
       - test suites
- Applications and analysis techniques that use the output of text
mining systems...
      - knowledge discovery
      - integration of publications with databases
      - visualization

Two types of submissions are invited: full papers and poster
abstracts.  Submissions are due by 11:59pm EST on March 26,
2007. Submit your paper or abstract via the ACL BioNLP 2007 site at
http://www.softconf.com/acl07/ACL07-WS5/.

Full papers should not exceed eight (8) pages including references.
These are intended to be reports of original and mature research.

Poster abstracts should not exceed two (2) pages. Accepted abstracts
will be published in a separate section of the workshop proceedings.
Appropriate poster topics include preliminary results, application
notes, descriptions of work in progress, etc.

Format: Submissions must be electronic and in PDF format, and should
follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings. Please see the
conference website for detailed typesetting specifications. Authors
are strongly encouraged to use the LaTeX or Microsoft Word style files
available on the ACL meeting website
(http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/acl2007/styles/). Authors who cannot submit a
PDF file electronically should contact the workshop organizers well in
advance of the submission deadline.

Reviewing of submissions will be blind. Do not include author names in
the paper. Avoid self-references -- instead of "As we showed in Smith
et al. 1999...", say "As Smith et al. 1999 showed...." The paper
submission software will allow you to enter full author information
separately from your paper. Each submission will be reviewed by at
least two program committee members.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submissions due: March 26, 2007 (11:59 PM EST)
Notification of acceptance: April 27, 2007
Camera-ready papers due back from authors: May 2, 2007
Workshop: June 29, 2007

MLMI'07 second call for papers (apologies for multiple postings):



                4th Joint Workshop on Machine Learning
                 and Multimodal Interaction (MLMI'07)

                           28-30 June 2007

The fourth MLMI workshop is coming to Brno in the Czech Republic,
following successful workshops in Martigny (2004), Edinburgh (2005)
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.

* 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.

Les outils formels en s?mantique : recherche et enseignement

 

L'usage d'outils formels en s?mantique est aujourd'hui naturel et
productif et c'est d'ailleurs cet usage qui a fond? la discipline,
longtemps apr?s que Br?al l'ait con?ue. Quels sont la nature et le
r?le exact de ces outils et quelle cons?quence en tirer pour
l'enseignement, fili?res sp?cialis?es (TAL, SDL) et non sp?cialis?es
(lettres, langues) ?

 

Jacques FRAN?OIS, Universit? de Caen et CRISCO, FRE 2805 (CNRS)

Deux conceptions divergentes de la projection des cat?gories
fonctionnelles verbales (Role and Reference Grammar vs. Mod?le
Minimaliste)

 

Il s'agit de montrer comment deux th?ories linguistiques, la Role and
Reference Grammar de R. van Valin et le Mod?le Minimaliste de
N. Chomsky, repr?sentent les cat?gories fonctionnelles verbales, en
particulier les temps, les aspects et les modalit?s : ? travers une
hi?rarchie de noeuds dans l'Inflectional Phrase pour l'approche
minimaliste, avec une double projection, des constituants et des
op?rateurs, pour la RGG.

 

Apr?s-midi

13h30-16h : Linguistique et ? Humanit?s ? : pour quelles formations ?

 

Francine MAZIERE, Universit? Paris 13 et HTL, UMR 7597 (CNRS)

Faut-il enseigner l'histoire des id?es et des pratiques linguistiques?

 

L'histoire se d?veloppe dans les cursus de sciences du langage mais
aussi dans les cursus de physique, de math?matiques... Si l'on pose
que l'histoire explicite ? la fois des param?tres de temps et
d'espace, peut-on aborder le langage de fa?on a-historique ?
Gagne-t-on ? aborder les m?thodes d'analyse de fa?on historique ?

 

Fran?oise GADET, Universit? Paris 10 et MoDyCo, UMR 7114 (CNRS)

La sociolinguistique, entre exigences scientifiques et participation ?
la soci?t? civile

A un moment o? les sciences du langage se modifient profond?ment, sous
l'effet de leur technologisation et, dans une moindre mesure, de
diff?rentes reconfigurations ? l'int?rieur des sciences humaines, ? un
moment o? de nombreux bouleversements historiques et sociaux
interviennent (que l'on peut r?sumer sous le terme de globalisation),
quel r?le et quelle place pour la sociolinguistique?

******************************************************************
DEFT'07   Troisi?me Appel ? participation

Atelier d'?valuation en fouille de textes sur la classification
de textes d'opinions

http://deft07.limsi.fr/

******************************************************************
Dates importantes :

Inscription : ? partir du 18 d?cembre 2006
	    (http://deft07.limsi.fr/inscription.php)
Diffusion des corpus d'apprentissage : ? partir du 4 janvier 2007
	    (http://deft07.limsi.fr/corpus-desc.php#telecharg)
Test : 3 jours entre le 19 mars et le 30 mars 2007,
       au choix de chaque ?quipe
Atelier : le 3 juillet lors de la plate-forme AFIA 2007

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

L'int?r?t d'une conf?rence d'?valuation est de permettre de
confronter, sur un m?me corpus, des m?thodes et logiciels d'?quipes
diff?rentes. Depuis deux ans, l'atelier d'?valuation DEFT propose des
th?mes relevant de la fouille de textes en langue fran?aise.  Les deux
?ditions pr?c?dentes ont ?t? consacr?es ? l'identification du locuteur
d'un discours (DEFT'05 http://www.lri.fr/ia/fdt/DEFT05/) et ? la
segmentation th?matique de textes (DEFT'06
http://www.lri.fr/ia/fdt/DEFT06/).

DEFT'07 se tiendra d?but juillet dans le cadre de la plate-forme de
l'AFIA (http://afia2007.imag.fr/). Le th?me de cette nouvelle ?dition
est la classification de textes d'opinion.

Un texte d'opinion pr?sente un avis argument?, positif ou n?gatif, sur
un sujet donn?. Les domaines faisant l'objet de textes d'opinions sont
nombreux : critiques de films ou de livres, jugements qualitatifs de
produits, controverses sur un projet politique ... les exemples ne
manquent pas. Est-il possible de classer automatiquement un texte
d'opinion suivant le jugement, favorable ou d?favorable, qu'il exprime
? C'est l'enjeu du d?fi que nous proposons.

Pour ce d?fi, nous avons choisi des textes d'opinion venant de
diff?rents domaines :

    * les critiques de films, livres, spectacles et BD ;
    * les tests de jeux vid?o ;
    * les relectures d'articles de conf?rences,
    * les interventions des parlementaires et du gouvernement
      dans les d?bats sur les projets de lois vot?s ? l'Assembl?e
      nationale.

Ces textes pr?sentent la particularit? d'?tre associ?s d'embl?e ? un
jugement exprim? sous la forme d'une note ou d'un vote. Ce sont ces
jugements qui serviront de r?f?rence lors de l'?valuation des
r?sultats. A partir de ces jugements, nous avons d?fini pour chaque
corpus un ensemble de classes d'opinion :

    * les classes bien, moyen, mauvais, pour les corpus sur les films,
      livres, spectacles, BD, sur les jeux vid?os, et les relectures
      d'articles

    * les classes pour et contre pour le corpus sur les projets de
      lois.

La t?che des participants ? DEFT'07 consistera ? attribuer
automatiquement une classe d'opinion ? chaque texte - critique, test,
relecture, ou intervention - de chaque corpus.

Les ?quipes participant ? DEFT'07 devront s'inscrire ? l'aide du
formulaire en ligne, et signer les accords de restriction d'usage des
corpus (http://deft07.limsi.fr/inscription.php).

Des corpus d'apprentissage sont fournis aux participants inscrits. Ces
corpus sont compos?s de 60% des corpus d'origine. Ils contiennent la
classe attribu?e ? chaque texte. Les participants ont jusqu'? la
mi-mars pour mettre en place leurs m?thodes de classification sur les
corpus d'apprentissage. Seuls les corpus d'apprentissage fournis sont
autoris?s pour l'entra?nement ? la t?che.

Les 40% de corpus restants seront utilis?s pour le test. Le test aura
lieu sur une fen?tre de 15 jours, ? partir de la mi-mars. A partir de
la date qu'ils auront choisie dans cet intervalle, les participants
auront trois jours pour appliquer, sur les corpus de test, les
m?thodes mises en oeuvre sur les corpus d'apprentissage.

    ********* Submission Deadline Extended to FEBRUARY 22*********

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).

Topics of Interest

NLDB 2007 invites researchers to submit papers on recent, unpublished
research on all aspects of Natural Language Processing related to
information systems. The Program Committee also encourages people from
the industry to submit papers reporting on industrial Natural Language
projects. Contributions are welcome in, but not limited to the
following topics:

Description des activit?s du groupes :
Les recherches du groupe Traitement du Langage Parl? du LIMSI-CNRS ont
pour principaux objectifs de mod?liser la parole et concevoir des
algorithmes pour son traitement automatique. Les activit?s du groupe
sont par essence pluridisciplinaires, elles abordent le traitement de
la parole d'un point de vue acoustique, phon?tique, linguistique et
informatique. Elles s'int?ressent ?galement au lien entre parole et
sens, ainsi que la mod?lisation des processus de communication orale.

Le besoin de confronter nos mod?les aux donn?es nous am?ne ?
d?velopper des syst?mes de traitement du langage parl? assurant des
fonctions vari?es telles que la reconnaissance de la parole,
l'identification de la langue, du locuteur et de son ?tat ?motionnel,
le dialogue oral homme-machine, la structuration de documents
audiovisuels, et plus r?cemment la traduction de la parole.

? partir d'un travail de relecture reposant sur un corpus compos?
d'articles, de conf?rences, mais aussi de brouillons et de r?flexions
in?dites, Mathieu Valette rend compte de l'effort de probl?matisation
et de th?orisation de la relation langue/pens?e chez le linguiste
Gustave Guillaume (1883-1960). Il reconstruit ses positions et en
d?gage les aspects novateurs qui ont f?cond? jusqu'? nos jours les
travaux de linguistique g?n?rale portant sur l'?nonciation et la
cognition. L'auteur ?value et illustre la r?ception des propositions
de Gustave Guillaume par l'?tude de trois th?ories ?nonciatives et
cognitives fran?aises dont les auteurs appartiennent ? la g?n?ration
suivante : la s?mantique ?nonciative conceptuelle de Bernard Pottier,
la neurolinguistique analytique de Maurice Toussaint et la th?orie des
op?rations ?nonciatives d'Antoine Culioli.

The 2007 edition of the DL workshop will take place from the 8th to
the 10th of June 2007 in Brixen-Bressanone (near Bozen-Bolzano),
Italy.  This is 80 Km south of Innsbruck (where the ESWC-07 conference
will take place immediately before); direct train connections run
every hour between Innsbruck and Brixen-Bressanone.  Arrived this year
to its 20th edition, DL is the major annual event of the description
logics research community.  The workshop is thought as a gathering
forum to meet, discuss and exchange experiences among all those, both
in the academy and industry, who are interested in description logics
and in all their broad range of applications.

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

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission deadline:   23 March 2007
Notification of acceptance:  27 April 2007
Camera ready papers due:     18 May 2007

SCOPE

We invite contributions on all aspects of description logics.
Possible subjects include:

-- Foundations of description logics, including distinguishing
    features of description logics with respect to other formalisms,
    expressive power of description logics, decidability and
    complexity of reasoning, and novel inference problems and
    reasoning techniques for solving these problems.

-- Extensions of description logics, including, but not limited to,
    closed world reasoning, defaults, epistemic reasoning, temporal
    and spatial reasoning, procedural knowledge, and query languages.

-- Integration of description logics with other formalisms, such as
    object-oriented representation languages, database query
    languages, constraint-based programming, logic programming, and
    rule-based systems.

-- Use of description logics in applications or areas such as natural
    language, planning, learning, databases, document management,
    semistructured data, ontology design, ontology languages, ontology
    engineering, semantic web, and grid computing.

-- Building systems based on description logics, with special emphasis
    on optimization and implementation techniques.

-- Tools that exploit description Logic reasoning, such as ontology
    editors, database schema design, query optimization, and data
    integration tools.

VENUE

The workshop will take place in the charming town of Brixen-
Bressanone, near Bozen-Bolzano in South Tyrol at the heart of the
Dolomites - the pink mountains of the Alps.  Like Bozen-Bolzano,
Brixen-Bressanone has always been a crossroads of various cultures and
it is distinguished by its mediaeval Gothic architecture.  The
mediaeval alleys and the wealth of historical references are an ideal
starting point for excursions into the countryside and for practising
a whole variety of sports and leisure activities.  Leaving directly
from the town centre delegates can set off on their bikes or on foot
for excursions into the surrounding hills and mountains.
Brixen-Bressanone is on the main arterial road between Austria/Germany
and Italy and it is easily accessible from everywhere by train, car,
bus or plane.

CALL FOR PAPERS

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

You are kindly invited to participate in the 3rd Language and
Technology Conference (LTC'07), a conference organized by the Faculty
of Mathematics and Computer Science of Adam Mickiewicz University,
Poznan, Poland in cooperation with the Adam Mickiewicz University
Foundation.

 

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 favouable 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 LTC'07 in October, 2007.

 

CONFERENCE TOPICS

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

The conference program will include (without being limited to) the 
following topics:

 

     * 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

     * man-machine NL interfaces

     * Logic Programming in Natural Language Processing

     * speech processing

     * NL applications in robotics

     * text-based information retrieval and extraction

     * 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 
       (applications and legal aspects)

     * 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 
exploitation of HLTs) or technical developments (applications, software, 
language infrastructure and tools). Political and mature vision papers 
in this field are also welcome. * *

 

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 LTC Chair by 
email (vetulani at amu.edu.pl <mailto:vetulani at amu.edu.pl>).

Final 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 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.

                        APPEL A COMMUNICATIONS

           Atelier "Formalismes syntaxiques de haut niveau"

         Le 8 juin 2007 ? Toulouse dans le cadre de TALN 2007

           Web : http://mosaique.labri.fr/atelier_taln2007/

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

    Organis?e par l'Action de Recherche Coop?rative (ARC) MOSA?QUE,
l'atelier sur les formalismes syntaxiques de haut niveau aura lieu le
8 juin 2007 ? Toulouse et se tiendra conjointement avec la conf?rence
TALN 07 (appel ? communications s?par? - voir
http://www.irit.fr/taln07).  Les langues officielles de l'atelier sont
le fran?ais et l'anglais.


CALENDRIER

      * Date limite de soumission : 19 mars 2007
      * Notification aux auteurs : 9 avril 2007
      * Version finale : 15 avril 2007
      * Atelier (journ?e enti?re) : 8 juin 2007


OBJECTIF

    La communaut? utilise un grand nombre de th?ories et de
formalismes diff?rents pour d?crire la syntaxe et la s?mantique des
langues (GPSG, LFG, TAG, HPSG, GP, GI, GUST, etc). Ces mod?les sont
motiv?s en TAL par leurs propri?t?s formelles : ?quivalence avec les
grammaires hors contexte, analyse en temps polynomial, propri?t? de
cl?ture, existence d'un algorithme d'analyse, etc. qui en font des
mod?les op?rationnels de la syntaxe, voire de la s?mantique. Mais ces
formalismes imposent des limitations techniques qui ne r?pondent pas
enti?rement aux attentes des linguistes, habitu?s ? une approche plus
modulaire et descriptive de la syntaxe.

    Cet atelier th?matique donne l'occasion de diffuser des
communications scientifiques portant sur la description de formalismes
de haut niveau (m?ta-formalismes, grammaires de contraintes,
grammaires modulaires, ou autres) qui s'affranchissent des aspects
techniques de chaque formalisme.

    Il s'adresse aussi aux linguistes qui s'int?ressent ? des
descriptions du langage dans un ou plusieurs mod?les formels dans le
but d'abstraire des notions th?oriques utiles ? ces
"m?ta-formalismes".


THEMES

    Les communications seront d'une dur?e de 30 minutes, questions
comprises.

    Les soumissions s?lectionn?es seront disponibles sous forme
?lectronique sur le site de l'atelier et seront incluses aux actes de
la conf?rence TALN 2007.

      * La premi?re demi-journ?e sera consacr?e ? des communications
        plus linguistiques contribuant ? comparer les formalismes
        classiques et ? faire ?merger les caract?ristiques attendues
        de la part d'un formalisme de haut niveau.

	-- repas r?parateur et ?ventuel foss? ?pist?mique --

      * La deuxi?me demi-journ?e sera consacr?e aux travaux plus
        informatiques en Traitement Automatique des Langues portant
        sur la sp?cification, voire la mise en oeuvre de
        "m?ta-formalismes".


MODALIT?S DE SOUMISSION

    Les auteurs sont invit?s ? soumettre des travaux de recherche
originaux, n'ayant pas fait l'objet de publications ant?rieures. Les
soumissions seront examin?es par au moins deux membres du comit? de
lecture.

Les articles soumis respecteront la mise en page demand?e pour la
conf?rence principale TALN 2007 (10 pages A4 en Times 12, feuilles de
style t?l?chargeables sur http://www.irit.fr/taln07/styles.html ).
Les articles seront r?dig?s en fran?ais pour les francophones, en
fran?ais ou en anglais pour les non-francophones.

Le site web de l'atelier pr?voira un formulaire interactif pour la
soumission des articles, qui devront alors ?tre au format PDF. Des
instructions pour la conversion vers le format PDF ? partir de Word
sont disponibles sur la page de styles du site de la conf?rence
principale.

Les versions finales devront ?tre envoy?es soit au format Latex, soit
au format RTF (Word). Le message d'acceptation de la proposition
indiquera l'adresse courriel pour l'envoi de la version d?finitive.

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, Computer Science Department, UFES, 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.

             ********SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS*******

     Workshop on Building Frame Semantics Resources for
             Scandinavian and Baltic Languages

   **held in conjunction with the NODALIDA 2007 Conference**

      *****SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO FEBRUARY 19****

DATE AND LOCATION
Date: Thursday 24 May 2007
Location: University of Tartu, Estonia
Part of the NODALIDA 2007, the 16th Nordic Conference of  
Computational Linguistics
Workshop web page: http://nlp.cs.lth.se/frame2007/
Conference web page: http://math.ut.ee/nodalida2007/


OBJECTIVES
Annotated data with role-semantic information are becoming an ever
more important resource for many semantic systems. 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.

Existing examples of role annotated corpora/resources include for
English: FrameNet, PropBank, and VerbNet, for German: Salsa, and for
Spanish: Spanish FrameNet. However, the two main initiatives outside
English take FrameNet as a semantic pivot and attempt to derive or
adapt frames to the target language using manual work or semiautomatic
systems.

As frequently observed, the itemization of frames and lexical units
and their manual annotation in a corpus is an expensive task that
requires a relatively long-term and dedicated commitment. Such an
effort is currently beyond the reach of most research teams in the
Nordic area, which could impair the quality, and possibly the
existence, of future semantic applications in these languages. This
makes the construction of a role-semantic annotated corpus and the
design of automatic or semi-automatic transfer methods a challenge as
well as an opportunity.

This workshop intends to be a forum for the research community to
review current initiatives and methods as well as ideas to start the
construction of a role annotated corpus and possibly share it across a
families of related languages. Topics of interest include (but are not
limited to):

-- Transfer and adaptation of frames and role annotation from English
and German
-- Pilot annotation/projection studies
-- Lexical inheritance mechanisms: crosslingual similarities and  
differences, protoframe design, variation and variant annotation
-- Frame alignment and projections from English/German and across  
target languages
-- Transfer of collocations, subcategorization, and grammatical  
functions to role annotation
-- General methods for multilingual corpus alignment and structure  
transfer/projection
-- "Upgrade" of existing resources: dependency annotation, small  
corpora, and bootstrapping using nonsemantically annotated data
-- Shared annotation platforms
-- Experience from other initiatives: Salsa, Romance FrameNet
-- Applications of frame semantics
-- Evaluation

IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for submitting extended abstract: February 19
Notification of acceptance: March 1
Deadline for submitting final papers, short, max. 4 pages or full,  
max. 8 pages: April 20
Workshop: May 24


SUBMISSION AND ORGANIZATION
Participants are invited to submit a one to two page extended  
abstract of their research or position statements using the NODALIDA  
styles (http://math.ut.ee/nodalida2007/author.html). Submissions must  
include author names, affiliation, and contact address. The workshop  
submissions will be reviewed by the organizing committee.

If their abstract is accepted, authors will be invited to submit a  
short paper (max. 4 pages) or a full paper (max. 8 pages) according  
to the authors' own choice that will be published in the workshop

              Collocated with the European Summer School
                  in Logic, Language and Information



Background

FG-2007 is the 12th conference on Formal Grammar, to be held in
conjunction with the European Summer School in Logic, Language and
Information, which takes place in 2007 in Dublin, Ireland.

Previous Formal Grammar meetings were held in Barcelona (1995), Prague
(1996), Aix-en-Provence (1997), Saarbruecken (1998), Utrecht (1999),
Helsinki (2001), Trento (2002), Vienna (2003), Nancy (2004), Edinburgh
(2005) and Malaga (2006).


Aims and Scope

FG provides a forum for the presentation of new and original research
on formal grammar, mathematical linguistics and the application of
formal and mathematical methods to the study of natural language.
Themes of interest include, but are not limited to,

o formal and computational phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics
 and pragmatics;
o model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics;
o logical aspects of linguistic structure;
o constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar;
o learnability of formal grammar;
o integration of stochastic and symbolic models of grammar;
o foundational, methodological and architectural issues in grammar;
o mathematical foundations of statistical approaches to linguistic
 analysis.

Previous conferences in this series have welcomed papers from a wide
variety of frameworks.


Submission Details

We invite **electronic** submissions of original, unpublished
30-minute papers (including questions, comments, and
discussion). Papers should report original work which was not
presented in other conferences.  However, simultaneous submission is
allowed, provided that the authors indicate other conference to which
the work was submitted on the paper submission form. Of course,
accepted papers can only be presented in one of the venues.

Papers, written in English, should be **anonymous** and refrain from
self-reference. They should be no longer than 12 A4 pages, with wide
margins so that the printed area is not larger than 11x18 cm., single
column, point size 11 or 12.

Stages : Linguistes en  Espagnol, Allemand, Italien, Portugais, Chinois

 

Soci?t? : VirtuOz SA (30 personnes) www.virtuoz.com

 

Lieu : Paris 9?me

 

Equipe : Recherche & D?veloppement

 

Pr?sentation du domaine : 

VirtuOz d?veloppe une plateforme d'agents conversationnels. Un agent
conversationnel ou bot ?mule un dialogue ?crit (chat) avec un
utilisateur humain. Les bots de VirtuOz s'appuient sur des analyses
linguistiques profondes (notamment syntaxique et s?mantique), afin de
transformer une phrase en repr?sentation s?mantique
normalis?e. Ensuite, un moteur de raisonnement, dans ce monde
s?mantique, d?termine la r?ponse et/ou les actions que doit
entreprendre le bot.

 

Nos bots sont utilis?s par des entreprises pour leur service clients
(voir par exemple T?a sur www.discounteo.com, L?a de
www.voyages-sncf.com ...), ainsi que dans des projets de plateformes
intelligentes tr?s ambitieux.

 

Objectifs du stage :

Le but du stage propos? est de participer ? l'adaptation de
l'analyseur syntaxique et de la configuration d'un agent pour une
langue donn?e.

En collaboration avec la Responsable du D?partement Linguistique de
VirtuOz SA, votre mission consistera ? :

- Etablir des r?gles de fonctionnement de l'analyseur syntaxique

- Configurer un agent conversationnel pr?-existant, du Fran?ais vers
la langue cible.

 

Ensuite, la validation de ces nouvelles comp?tences se fera ? sur le
terrain ?, c'est-?-dire au cours de conversations avec l'agent cr??.

 

Profil recherch? :

Vous ?tes locuteur natif de l'une des langues cible. Vous avez des
comp?tences en informatique et/ou en linguistique et vous disposez de
qualit?s r?dactionnelles (orthographe, clart? d'expression ?crite et
orale).

Vous ?tes rigoureux(se), curieux(se), et vous avez le sens de
l'adaptation.  Vous aimez les nouvelles technologies et vous ?tes
motiv?(e) ? investir votre dynamisme au sein d'une ?quipe innovante.

 

 

Le stage se d?roule ? partir de mars 2007. La r?mun?ration est ?
d?finir en fonction du profil.

Interaction et pragmatique, Jeux de dialogue et de langage

Jean Caelen et Anne Xuereb

 

1.	Pr?sentation de l'ouvrage :

Cet ouvrage est une contribution au domaine de l'interaction
homme-machine, incluant des aspects, th?oriques, m?thodologiques et
pratiques. Le dialogue humain est la forme la plus achev?e de
l'interaction car il sert non seulement ? se comprendre mais aussi ?
agir et ? se coordonner pour agir. Le dialogue est trait? au fil des
chapitres sous toutes ses formes d'intrication avec l'action (la t?che
en cours), les buts, les strat?gies des acteurs mais aussi leurs
connaissances, leurs r?les et leurs ?nonc?s en langue - c'est-?-dire
la pragmatique. Cette derni?re est ?galement centrale dans le livre,
car elle est le lieu de passage des ?nonc?s ? l'action et de l'action
aux objets du monde. Prise en compte en philosophie du langage et en
ethnom?thodologie, elle a ?t?, en revanche, souvent n?glig?e par les
concepteurs de syst?mes d'interface homme-machine et par certains
linguistes : l'ouvrage redonne toute sa place ? l'interpr?tation
pragmatique comme processus autonome dans la mod?lisation du dialogue.

Le propos de ce livre est un parcours th?orique et appliqu?, partant
des th?ories du dialogue humain, s'arr?tant sur les jeux dialogiques
(inspir?s de la th?orie des jeux) et la pragmatique, et aboutissant ?
la r?alisation de syst?mes de dialogue homme-machine. Les questions de
multimodalit? et d'?valuation sont abord?es, donnant des perspectives
de recherche. Le livre fait le point des th?ories actuelles, donne des
exemples clairs autour de contributions originales. Il a ?t? r?dig?
dans un esprit p?dagogique ? l'usage des ?tudiants et des chercheurs.

 

2.	Biographie(s) :

Jean Caelen est directeur de recherches au CNRS. Il travaille sur le
dialogue homme-machine et la conception des syst?mes interactifs apr?s
avoir d?velopp? des syst?mes de reconnaissance de la parole. Ses
recherches couvrent un spectre large et approfondi en dialogue,
incluant des aspects li?s aux sciences humaines.

Anne Xuereb est ing?nieur en informatique. Ses travaux de recherche
portent sur la pragmatique du dialogue, en particulier sur les aspects
inf?rentiels de la communication et leur prise en compte pour le
dialogue homme-machine.  Son point de d?part est l'ing?nierie des
langues et le traitement du langage naturel.

   that the paper is being submitted to must be stated on the first
   page.

   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 track 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.) Many members of the program committee for
   individual conferences include renowned leaders, scholars,
   researchers, scientists and practitioners of the highest ranks;
   many are directors of large research laboratories, IEEE Fellows,
   heads/chairs of departments, deans and provosts.  Each committee
   also includes two Student Members (in their final stages of their
   PhD programs) who are identified as such.  Refer to the conference
   web sites for the list of members of program committee.

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 25 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 event.

   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.

Important Dates:

   Feb.  20, 2007:    Submission of full papers (about 5 to 8 pages)
   March 20, 2007:    Notification of acceptance
   April 20, 2007:    Camera-Ready papers and Registration due
   June 25-28, 2007:  The 2007 World Congress in Computer Science,
                      Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing
                      (WORLDCOMP'07)

Ana Kupsc :
Titre: Extraction de cadres de sous-categorisation verbale ? partir  
du treebank de Paris7

R?sum? : Je vais pr?senter une exp?rience d'extraction automatique de
sous-cat?gorisation de 1362 verbes francais ? partir du corpus arbor?
de Paris7 (10 000 phrases donc ils sont extraits 12 510 occurrences
verbales). Je pr?sente une ?valuation de l'extraction des cadres bas?e
sur la fonction des arguments, ce qui fournit 39 cadres diff?rents
avec une moyenne de 1,75 cadres par lemme. Ensuite, sont pr?sent?s les
r?sultats pour une approche mixte (avec fonction et cat?gorie
syntaxique) qui nous fournit dans un premier temps 925 cadres
diff?rents, avec une moyenne de 3,44 cadres par lemme. Je vais
discuter aussi plusieurs m?thodes de factorisation (qui neutralisent
par exemple les variantes de r?alisation avec le passif ou les pronoms
clitiques) afin de r?duire le nombre des cadres et le taux
d'ambiguit?.

========
Titre: La formalisation des entassements paradigmatiques dans une  
grammaire du fran?ais

R?sum?: Les grammaires formelles actuelles ne repr?sentent que des
constructions syntagmatiques ou des structures d?pendancielles
?quivalentes. Pourtant, d?s lors que l'on s'int?resse ? la
formalisation des descriptions linguistiques de corpus, on constate
que la prise en compte de la dimension paradigmatique des structures
est dans certains cas n?cessaire aux analyses propos?es. Je montrerai
ici comment, me basant sur les travaux de l'Approche Pronominale, j'ai
repr?sent? cet axe de structuration linguistique dans mon mod?le de
grammaire formelle du fran?ais, et j'illustrerai mon propos ? l'aide
d'exemples d'analyses de coordinations et de disfluences.

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, Computer Science Department, UFES, 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.

Apologies for multiple postings!

Paper submission deadline for the MTT 2007 Conference extended to  
February, 25th!

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

              - Final Call for Papers -

The Meaning-Text Theory is a holistic linguistic theory characterized
in particular by the central position of the lexicon, the primacy of
semantics, the importance of the communicative structure (=
information structure), and the reliance on dependencies on all
levels. 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 that aims at bringing together researchers working
on MTT, other dependency-based linguistic theories and computational
applications drawing upon dependency theories. The special goal of
this conference is to open MTT more to researchers working in related
frameworks.

Before the main conference, a social program will be offered. After
the main conference, a 1/2 day tutorial on natural language generation
in the framework of MTT is foreseen.

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).  The submission format must be
pdf. For more detailed format guidelines, see the web site of the
conference.

The electronic submission web site is accessible via the main
conference site.  No hardcopy or email submissions addressed to the
conference organizers will be accepted.

R?sum? :
------------

Aujourd'hui, le Web met ? la disposition du grand public un tr?s grand
nombre de donn?es et les syst?mes de recherche d'informations
d?velopp?s ces derni?res ann?es sont des outils pratiques pour qui
souhaite trouver une r?ponse ? une question sur tout type de
domaine. Mais l? o? les dictionnaires, encyclop?dies et bases de
donn?es fournissent une r?ponse synth?tique et coh?rente, une analyse
rapide des r?ponses propos?es par les moteurs montrent que celles-ci
sont tr?s souvent non pertinentes, incoh?rentes, etc. C'est donc ?
l'utilisateur qu'il revient de trier et de rechercher au sein de ces
pages la r?ponse ? sa question. Cette d?marche entra?ne une perte de
temps consid?rable, sans pour autant avoir l'assurance de trouver une
r?ponse correcte.  Le probl?me qui se pose alors est le probl?me de la
pertinence et de la coh?rence des r?ponses propos?es ?
l'utilisateur. Les syst?mes question-r?ponse proposent une alternative
? ces probl?mes.

Pour cette th?se, nous nous pla?ons dans le cadre des syst?mes
question-r?ponse coop?ratifs sur le Web. Nos principaux objectifs sont
de mod?liser, concevoir et ?valuer un syst?me capable, ? partir d'une
question en langue naturelle, de rechercher les r?ponses pertinentes
sur le Web et de g?n?rer en langue naturelle une r?ponse synth?tique,
m?me quand le moteur de recherche s?lectionne plusieurs r?ponses
potentielles. Pour cela, il faut int?grer entre autres les attentes
des utilisateurs et des techniques de traitement de
l'information. Travaillant en domaine ouvert, nous nous sommes plus
particuli?rement int?ress?s ? deux types de questions : les questions
attendant des r?ponses temporelles et des r?ponses num?riques.

Notre syst?me a donc pour but :

- l'int?gration d'informations provenant des diff?rentes r?ponses
  potentielles ? une question. Ce composant permet notamment de
  d?tecter les incoh?rences de donn?es et de prendre en compte les
  attentes de l'utilisateur pour produire une r?ponse appropri?e,

- la g?n?ration en langue de r?ponses et d'explications pertinentes en utilisant des techniques
  de g?n?ration de langue naturelle.

Nous proposons ?galement des m?thodes d'?valuation ad?quates pour
?valuer le syst?me :

- d'un point de vue technique en ?valuant les performances de chacun
  des composants du syst?me,

- d'un point de vue cognitif en confrontant les utilisateurs aux
  r?ponses produites.

Les produits d'aide ? la d?cision par l'analyse automatique de donn?es
textuelles sont nombreux. Or, ? ce jour, beaucoup d'entreprises ne
per?oivent pas l'enjeu d'un tel outil. C'est pourquoi le d?partement
Information-Communication de l'IUT de Besan?on organise le jeudi 15
mars 2007 une journ?e d'?changes entre professionnels sur la fouille
de textes, intitul?e :

                   Explorez les dessous des textes

                 gr?ce aux logiciels de text-mining.

Le programme a deux objectifs :

- d'une part, pr?senter l'int?r?t et le principe des logiciels de
  fouille de textes, ainsi que le t?moignage d'entreprises
  utilisatrices

- d'autre part, ?valuer les performances de ces logiciels ? partir de
  corpus de documents r?ellement strat?giques pour les entreprises.

Les logiciels pr?sent?s seront : Erdilex de ERDIL ; Keywatch, d'ISCOPE
; Kaliwatch, d'ARISEM ; et la suite LINGWAY.

Titre : D?tection de communaut?s d'opinions dans des r?seaux
socio-s?mantiques de la blogosph?re
 
Stage Master 2 Informatique : d?but avril 07, d?bouchant sur une th?se
 
Responsable : C?cile Bothorel
 
Sujet : 
Actuellement, nous cherchons ? analyser des blogs ou tout autre
contenu textuel produit par les internautes ?changeant des opinions en
relation avec des contenus multi-m?dias. Dans le cadre d'une
participation ? un projet europ?en IST,   nous pensons am?liorer la
recommandation de contenus en comprenant mieux ce qu'en pense les
internautes. 


Concr?tement, l'analyse de la blogosph?re que nous proposons, dans le
contexte de la recommandation, a pour but de trouver de nouvelles
"relations qualifi?es" inter-films. Cela signifie d?couvrir : 


(1) des co-apparitions de citations de films dans les blogs avec si
    possible l'information de quelles caract?risques sont discut?es,
    approuv?es ou critiqu?es, degr? de similitudes : typage fins des
    relations inter-films. Pour ce faire, nous souhaitons tester
    diff?rents outils : statistiques et/ou bas?s sur le traitement
    automatique de la langue naturelle.  


(2) utiliser les interactions (qui commente qui) et les techniques
    d'analyse de graphe, de clustering sur les graphes, de propagation
    d'?tiquettes, de d?tection de communaut?s pour constituer des
    communaut?s d'opinion ou des clusters de films qui suscitent des
    ?motions proches. 


Le candidat que nous recherchons doit avoir des connaissances en
text-mining (techniques statistiques d'analyse de textes) avec de
solides comp?tences en informatique, avec un int?r?t fort pour les
graphes (r?seaux sociaux)  et plus largement la sph?re des contenus
auto-produits. Un stage de DEA est recommand? avant la th?se, nous
avons la possibilit? de l'accueillir d?s ? pr?sent. La th?se
d?buterait fin 2007, avec une bourse interne (CDD Orange), et serait
en ?troite relation avec le projet europ?en Pharos.

VIENT DE PARAITRE
de Gerard DANOU, medecin rhumatologue, praticien hospitalier dans un
centre anti-douleur de la region parisienne, docteur HDR charge de
cours a Paris 7

LANGUE, RECIT, LITTERATURE DANS L'EDUCATION MEDICALE
Preface de Fran?ois Dagognet

La lecture de Baudelaire, Flaubert, Celine, Michaux peut inciter le
medecin a reflechir a ce qu'il dit, a ce qu'il fait. Chacun de ses
patients parle de son corps, dit ses apprehensions ou sa douleur
tandis que lui-meme cherche la bonne distance pour ecouter ce recit,
le bon langage pour y repondre. Sa formation medicale exige de lui
qu'il controle ses emotions et mette entre parentheses son histoire
personnelle. Cet oubli de soi est sans doute necessaire pour agir
froidement mais aussi iatrogene lorsqu'il vient bloquer l'ecoute ou la
reponse. D'ou l'interet de s'interroger sur le role qu'une culture
linguistique et litteraire peut jouer dans la pratique medicale et
dans la formation des medecins.

APPEL A PUBLICATION (EN FRAN?AIS)

 

BULAG N? 32

Revue internationale avec comit? de lecture

http://tesniere.univ-fcomte.fr/bulag.htm

 

? Les langues slaves et le fran?ais : approches formelles dans les
?tudes contrastives ?

 

Coordination : Aleksandra Dziadkiewicz et Izabella Thomas

 

Probl?matique 

La formalisation et le traitement automatique des langues slaves sont
des domaines relativement peu explor?s par rapport aux recherches
men?es sur l'anglais ou le fran?ais. Quant aux ?tudes contrastives
adoptant une approche formelle des langues slaves, elles restent le
plus souvent confin?es ? des travaux mettant en parall?le une langue
slave et l'anglais, alors que la comparaison avec le fran?ais est plus
rarement abord?e.  L'objectif de ce num?ro de BULAG est pr?cis?ment
d'offrir un aper?u des ?tudes compar?es des langues slaves et du
fran?ais relevant de la linguistique formelle. Nous souhaitons ainsi
faire le point sur l'?tat de la recherche dans ce domaine et essayer
de r?pondre aux questions suivantes : ? quels niveaux se situent les
divergences entre les langues slaves et le fran?ais ? Comment les
formaliser et comment les neutraliser ? Quels sont les plus grands
besoins pour permettre le traitement automatique de ces langues ?
Peut-on exploiter les travaux compar?s des langues slaves et de
l'anglais dans les ?tudes compar?es du fran?ais ? Ou bien chaque paire
de langues demande-t-elle une analyse contrastive ? part ?

 

Th?mes 

Les th?mes qui seront abord?s dans ce Bulag incluent de fa?on non
limitative :

- mod?lisation en linguistique contrastive

- formalisation des donn?es de nature morphologique, syntaxique,
s?mantique, pragmatique

- probl?matique de traduction : divergences et convergences;
d?sambigu?sation

- traitement automatique (traduction automatique, traitement de
donn?es bi- et multilingues, outils et bases de donn?es bi- et
multilingues, corpus parall?les, lexiques et terminologies bi- et
multilingues)

- technologies d'aide ? l'apprentissage des langues

 

Langues 

Les articles seront r?dig?s en fran?ais ou en anglais.

CALL FOR PAPERS (IN ENGLISH)

 

BULAG (BUlletin de Linguistique Appliqu?e et G?n?rale), N? 32

(International review with referee panel)

http://tesniere.univ-fcomte.fr/a_bulag.htm

 

Title:

Slavic languages and French: formal approaches in contrastive studies

 

Coordination:  

Aleksandra Dziadkiewicz and Izabella Thomas

 

Topic:  

The formalisation and the machine processing of Slavic languages are
relatively little explored domains in comparison with the research
undertaken on English and French.  As for the contrastive studies
adopting a formal approach to Slavic languages, they remain for the
most part confined to works comparing a Slavic language and English,
whilst the comparison with French is more rarely undertaken. The
purpose of this number of BULAG is precisely to offer an outline of
the comparative studies using formal linguistics of Slavic languages
and French. We thus wish to find out the state of research in this
domain and try to answer the following questions.  What are the main
difficulties in describing divergences between Slavic languages and
French? How can we formalise them and how can we neutralise them? What
kinds of resources do we need to enable machine processing of these
languages? Can we take advantage of comparative works of Slavic
languages and English in comparative studies with French? Following on
from this question, does every pair of languages need a separate
contrastive analysis?

 

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: 

- modelling in contrastive linguistics 

- formalisation of morphological, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic data

- translation topics: divergences and convergences between languages;
disambiguating

- natural language processing (machine translation, bi- or
multilingual data processing, bi- or multilingual database and tools,
parallel corpora, lexica and terminologies)

- language learning tools

 

Important dates: 

Deadline for submissions:  May 15, 2007 

Notification of acceptance:  June 1, 2007 

Camera-ready versions:  June 20, 2007

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.

* 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.

=====================================================
Journ?e  ATALA (http://www.atala.org/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=2)
La r?solution des anaphores en Traitement Automatique des Langues       
             PARIS (ENST) ? le 16 juin 2007               
=====================================================
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
verrous 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 :
=================================

soumissions devront ?tre transmises sous format ?lectronique de

Submission of Papers:

   Prospective authors are invited to submit their full paper (about 5
   to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to H. R. Arabnia
   by March 4, 2007 (hra at cs.uga.edu). E-mail submissions in MS Doc or
   PDF formats are preferable (postal mail 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/track
   that the paper is being submitted to must be stated on the first
   page.

   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 track 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.) Many members of the program committee for
   individual conferences include renowned leaders, scholars,
   researchers, scientists and practitioners of the highest ranks;
   many are directors of large research laboratories, IEEE Fellows,
   heads/chairs of departments, deans and provosts.  Each committee

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 tracks of WORLDCOMP are considered to be
   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 event.

   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.

Important Dates:

   March 4, 2007:     Submission of full/draft papers (about 5 to 8 pages)
   April 4, 2007:     Notification of acceptance
   April 27, 2007:    Camera-Ready papers and Registration due
   June 25-28, 2007:  The 2007 World Congress in Computer Science,
                      Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing
                      (WORLDCOMP'07)

LOCATION

Plze? (Pilsen) is located in Western Bohemia on the confluence of four
rivers. With 170 thousand inhabitants it is the fourth largest city in
the Czech Republic and an important industrial, commercial, cultural,
and administrative center.

Plze? is well known for its brewing tradition. The trademark
Pilsner-Urquell penetrated all over the world thanks to the
traditional recipe, high quality hops and good wells. Beer lovers will
also appreciate a visit to the Brewery museum or the Brewery itself.

Apart from its famous beer, Plze? has a lot of hidden treasures in its
core.  Plze? can pride itself on the second largest synagogue in
Europe. The old city center is dominated by a 13th-century Gothic
church which features the highest tower in Bohemia (102.34 m). It is
possible to go up the stairs and admire the panorama. Not far from the
church is a splendid Renaissance Town Hall from 1558 and plenty of
pleasant cafes and pubs.

Plze? has also a beautiful historical underground under the city
center there are 25 km of tunnels. Visitors can pass through the most
beautiful part of thislabyrinth.

It is also recommended to visit the zoo having the second largest
space for bears in Europe and keeping the Komodo dragons - large
lizards existing in only a few zoos in the world.

In the neighborhood of the city there are castle Radyn? and
hunting-seat Kozel. St. Peter's Rotunda in Star? Plzenec was built in
the 10th century.

The University of West Bohemia in Plze? provides a variety of courses
for both Czech and international students. It is the only institution
of higher education in this part of the country which prepares
students for careers in engineering (electrical and mechanical),
science (computer science, applied mathematics, physics, and
mechanics), education (both primary and secondary), economics,
philosophy, politology, archaeology, anthropology, foreign languages,
law and public administration, art and design.


GETTING THERE

The city has an access from the D5 highway connecting Prague (Praha)
with Germany. Plze? has a very good bus and train connections with the
capital Prague (takes about 1 - 1.5 hour). From the international
airport Prague - Ruzyn? you can reach Plze? by frequent public
transport in 1.5 - 2 hours.


SOCIAL EVENTS

The international conference will also include social events and trips
i.e.  visit of brewery and city sightseeing.

Rappel

Coldoc 2007 ? UMR 7114 MoDyCo ? Universit? Paris X Nanterre

Appel ? communication
 
L'?dition 2007 de Coldoc, le colloque des doctorants et jeunes chercheurs de
Sciences du langage de Paris X Nanterre, aura pour th?me :

 
? Le vocabulaire scientifique et technique en Sciences du Langage ?
 
Toute recherche s'exprime verbalement et l'on pourrait s'attendre ? ce
que la rigueur scientifique ait pour corr?lat oblig? celle de la
d?finition monos?mique et stable de son lexique. Or en fait, pour
?vidente que puisse para?tre cette exigence, son application semble
l'?tre moins, car le choix des termes employ?s dans le cadre d'un
travail scientifique n'a rien d'automatique ni d'anodin. L'objectif de
ce colloque sera de s'interroger sur les probl?mes que pose le
vocabulaire scientifique dans les Sciences du Langage.

 

Un m?me terme peut d?signer une r?alit? tr?s diff?rente selon le
contexte th?orique dans lequel on l'emploie, comme discours qui n'a
pas le m?me sens en syntaxe, en linguistique textuelle ou en
sociolinguistique. Inversement, un terme peut ?tre r?v?lateur d'une
th?orie et d'une seule (tel compl?menteur, associ? ? la grammaire
chomskyenne). Existe-t-il des termes neutres, qui ne refl?tent aucune
th?orie ? Faut-il inventer un nouveau vocabulaire pour chaque nouvelle
th?orie - mais la tentative de Damourette & Pichon montre que cela
peut nuire ? la diffusion de la recherche ? Dans quel cas l'emploi
d'un n?ologisme se justifie-t-il ? En France, par exemple, il n'y a
pas de crit?res scientifiques au choix des n?ologismes au niveau
officiel.

Les termes sont constamment r?employ?s et r?interrog?s ou
r?interpr?t?s par chaque chercheur. Ne risquent-ils pas de perdre de
leur pertinence et d'arriver ? une possible vacuit? (comme on peut le
voir du terme signifi? devenant le simple synonyme de sens) ?

Le vocabulaire scientifique est ?galement soumis ? l'effet du
temps. Que peut nous apprendre l'?tude de l'?volution d'un terme, tant
sur le terme lui-m?me, que sur l'histoire de la linguistique ?

Par ailleurs, le vocabulaire scientifique se diffuse parfois dans des
ouvrages destin?s ? des non-sp?cialistes, ce qui pose alors le
probl?me de savoir si la vulgarisation d'un terme lui fait perdre de
sa scientificit?.

Le choix des termes pose ?galement le probl?me des ?changes entre
chercheurs. Devrait-on en Sciences du Langage avoir un vocabulaire
unifi?, permettant de communiquer ensemble, par del? toute th?orie ?
Si ce n'est en Sciences du langage, tout du moins ? l'int?rieur de
chaque domaine ? Est-ce seulement possible, quand on sait qu'? l'heure
actuelle il n'existe pas m?me de d?finition unique pour des termes
comme ? phrase ? ? On peut s'int?resser aux tentatives qui ont ?t?
faites ? ce sujet, ? travers les constructions de dictionnaires
terminologiques.

Le probl?me de l'?change des savoirs se pose ?galement dans le cadre
de la traduction: les termes sont-ils traduisibles ? En quelle mesure
cela influe-t-il sur l'internationalisation des recherches ?

La question du choix des termes a aussi son importance en didactique.
Peut-on employer le m?me vocabulaire, ou bien est-il n?cessaire
d'avoir un vocabulaire sp?cifique ?

 

Les communications, au nombre d'une douzaine et d'une dur?e de trente
minutes suivies de dix minutes de discussion, pourront traiter le
sujet selon les pistes suivantes :

- un exemple concret d'un probl?me rencontr? au cours d'une recherche
autour d'un terme

- le probl?me de termes refl?tant une orientation th?orique
particuli?re

- l'?volution d'un terme dans le temps ou ? travers diverses th?ories

- le choix de conserver ou non un terme et de le red?finir ou non

- la n?cessit?, ou non, de cr?er un n?ologisme

- la perte de scientificit?, ou non, d'un terme due ? sa vulgarisation
ou ? son ?puisement

- la n?cessit?, ou non, d'unification du m?talangage pour les ?changes
dans le monde de la recherche, d'un point de vue ?pist?mologique, ou
en ?tudiant un cas concret de tentative d'unification, ? travers par
exemple l'?laboration de dictionnaires

-       l'emploi des termes en didactique

 

Il sera ?galement ouvert une session poster (environ dix) hors th?me.

 

Les modalit?s de soumission sont les suivantes :

Envoyer ? l'adresse coldoc07paris10 at yahoo.fr
<mailto:coldoc2007paris10 at yahoo.fr>  avant le 15 mars :

- Dans un fichier attach? un r?sum? anonyme d'une page minimum ? deux
pages maximum comprenant un titre, un r?sum?, une bibliographie de 5
titres maximum, une liste de mots cl?s (Police 12, marge
2,5). Pr?ciser au d?but du fichier s'il s'agit d'une proposition pour
une communication ou pour la session poster. Le fichier est au format
.doc ou .pdf et sera nomm? titre_abr?g?_de_la_communication.doc ou
.pdf

- Indiquer dans le corps de message votre nom, votre adresse mail, le
titre de la communication, l'universit? et le laboratoire de
rattachement, le directeur de th?se, la date de soutenance de th?se le
