Le but de la session "Show & Tell" est de permettre aux équipes de recherche académique de disposer d'un espace pour présenter à la fois des projets de recherches auxquelles elles participent (projets Européens ou projets ANR par exemple) et aussi leurs retombées pratiques : démonstration de prototype, présentation de corpus, outils logiciels, etc. Elle a aussi pour objet de donner l'opportunité aux partenaires industriels de la conférence de présenter leur entreprise à travers un stand et des démonstrations de produits autour des activités du traitement automatique de la langue écrite et parlée. Motivations: La conférence JEP/TALN/RECITAL permet de réunir en un seul lieu les deux communautés du traitement de la langue orale et écrite, à ce titre elle a pour but de favoriser les échanges entre équipes en leur permettant de communiquer sur les résultats pratiques de leurs recherches pouvant intéresser d'autres équipes, éventuellement d'autres communautés. Notamment les projets de recherche (par exemple les projets Européens ou ANR) ont souvent un volet "dissémination" visant à développer la visibilité du projet via des prototypes de démonstration, des corpus ou des ensembles d'outils logiciels en licence libre. De plus des posters de présentation des projets sont souvent réalisés à l'occasion de diverses manifestations de promotion. La session "Show & Tell" donne la possibilité de disposer d'un espace de présentation (poster et/ou stand de démonstration) pour présenter de tels projets de recherche. Les modalités pratiques pour présenter un projet à la session "Show & Tell" sont les suivantes : - Faire une rapide description (1 page maximum) du projet et joindre à cette description les moyens techniques demandés pour la présentation (panneau pour poster, table, connexion internet, etc.) - Envoyer cette proposition par courrier électronique à : frederic.bechet at univ-avignon.fr avant le 12 mai 2008 - s'inscrire à la conférence. Les présentations ne ferons l'objet que d'une sélection "technique" : toute présentation dans les thèmes de la conférence est acceptée, dans la limite des places disponibles, selon le principe du "premier arrivé / premier servi". Ces présentations apparaitront dans le programme de la conférence, mais ne feront pas l'objet de publications dans les actes de JEP/TALN/RECITAL. Dates importantes: - Date limite d'envoi des propositions pour la session "Show & Tell" : 12 mai 2008 - Réponse aux propositions de présentation : 20 mai 2008 - Date et horaire de la session : Jeudi 12 Juin 17h30-19h30 - Rappel : dates de la conférence JEP/TALN/RECITAL = du 9 au 13 juin 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR Mon May 5 10:44:35 2008 From: thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 12:44:35 +0200 Subject: Conf: JEP TALN 2008 Message-ID: Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:08:16 +0200 From: Frederic Bechet Message-ID: <480F26B0.8080209 at univ-avignon.fr> X-url: http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=618 X-url: http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=77 X-url: http://lia.univ-avignon.fr/uploads/media/prog_provisoire_v1.pdf X-url: http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=369 X-url: http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=512 Bonjour, Nous vous rappelons que les inscriptions JEP-TALN/RECITAL 2008 sont ouvertes sur le site conjoint des evenements et que la date limite du tarif reduit a ete etendue au 29/04/2008 Inscriptions : http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=618 Site general : http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=77 Quelques nouveautes sur le site de JEP-TALN : - Programme provisoire de JEP-TALN http://lia.univ-avignon.fr/uploads/media/prog_provisoire_v1.pdf - Programme provisoire de TALN http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=369 - APPEL A PARTICIPATION/PRESENTATION - Session "Show & Tell" PROJETS DE RECHERCHE & DEMO & APPLICATIONS INDUSTRIELLES http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=512 Cordialement Pour le comite d'organisation de JEP-TALN/RECITAL 2008 Frederic Bechet ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR Mon May 5 10:47:01 2008 From: thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 12:47:01 +0200 Subject: Conf: Workshop "Multimodal Corpora", LREC 2008 Message-ID: Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 10:18:21 +0200 From: Jean-Claude MARTIN Message-ID: <4810424D.3000202 at limsi.fr> X-url: http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2008/ ************************************************************** Call For Participation International Workshop on MULTIMODAL CORPORA: From Models of Natural Interaction to Systems and Applications Tuesday, 27 May 2008 Full day workshop Marrakech (Morocco) http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2008/ *************************************************************** In Association with LREC2008 (the 6th International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation) http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2008/ Main conference: 28-29-30 May 2008 Palais des Congrès Mansour Eddahbi Marrakech (Morocco) ------------------------- DESCRIPTION ------------------------- A 'Multimodal Corpus' targets the recording and annotation of several communication modalities such as speech, hand gesture, facial expression, body posture, etc. Theoretical issues are also addressed, given their importance to the design of multimodal corpora. This workshop continues the successful series of similar workshops at LREC 00, 02, 04 and 06 also documented in a special issue of the Journal of Language Resources and Evaluation due to come out in spring 2008. There is an increasing interest in multimodal communication and multimodal corpora as visible by European Networks of Excellence and integrated projects such as HUMAINE, SIMILAR, CHIL, AMI, CALLAS. Furthermore, the success of recent conferences and workshops dedicated to multimodal communication (ICMI, IVA, Gesture, PIT, Nordic Symposia on Multimodal Communication, Embodied Language Processing) and the creation of the Journal of Multimodal User Interfaces also testifies to the growing interest in this area, and the general need for data on multimodal behaviours. The focus of this LREC'2008 workshop on multimodal corpora will be on models of natural interaction and their contribution to the design of multimodal systems and applications. Topics to be addressed include, but are not limited to: - Multimodal corpus collection activities (e.g. direction-giving dialogues, emotional behaviour, human-avatar interaction, human-robot interaction, etc.) - Relations between modalities in natural (human) interaction and in human-computer interaction - Application of multimodal corpora to the design of multimodal and multimedia systems - Fully or semi-automatic multimodal annotation, using e.g. motion capture and image processing, and its integration with manual annotations - Corpus-based design of systems that involve human-like modalities either in input (Virtual Reality, motion capture, etc.) and output (virtual characters) - Multimodal interaction in specific scenarios, e.g. group interaction in meetings - Coding schemes for the annotation of multimodal corpora - Evaluation and validation of multimodal annotations - Methods, tools, and best practices for the acquisition, creation, management, access, distribution, and use of multimedia and multimodal corpora - Interoperability between multimodal annotation tools (exchange formats, conversion tools, standardization) - Metadata descriptions of multimodal corpora - Automated multimodal fusion and/or generation (e.g., coordinated speech, gaze, gesture, facial expressions) - Analysis methods tailored to multimodal corpora using e.g. statistical measures or data mining. We expect the output of this workshop to be: 1) deeper understanding of theoretical issues and research questions related to verbal and non-verbal communication that multimodal corpora should address, 2) larger consensus on how such corpora should be built in order to provide useful and usable answers to research questions, 3) shared knowledge of how the corpora are contributing to multimodal and multimedia system design, and 4) an updated view of state-of-the-art research on multimodal corpora. -------------------------------------------------- TIME SCHEDULE AND REGISTRATION FEE -------------------------------------------------- The workshop will consist of a morning session and an afternoon session.

The world is changing more quickly than ever particularly in the area of multi-channel data flows. Furthermore, this data can have many and complex forms; we cite natural language as an example of such. The paradigm shift from the industrial age to the information age is already impacting our behaviour and we are becoming more and more data and information consumers. We are demanding on a daily basis for just-in-time data and information in order to take decisions or actions. The quality of these decisions and actions will depend highly on the quality of data that we use. In the context of globalization, of new technology and of energy volatility, it is clear that we will be demanding accurate data to aid in our choices and decisions. We believe that data and information are key to global sustainability. Therefore, it is imperative to define frameworks, models, methodologies and tools in order to ensure continuous global data excellence and to strive for data pollution prevention. List of subjects: - Framework and methodology to sustain data quality. - Data quality dimensions definitions and mathematical measurement models. - Data quality processes definitions and methods for continuous improvement. - Methodology to perform data cleansing and correction. - How to assess data quality. - Semantic models to define quality rules. - Dealing with complex data forms such as natural language - canonical forms, variants, standards and control. - Models to measure the cost of bad data quality. - Methodologies to ensure consistent data movements between systems. - Methods to measure web content data quality. - Methods and tools to measure unstructured data. - Methodology to sustain unstructured data quality - Models for data quality governance. - Governance model for semantic quality rules. - Data pollution prevention. - Data quality standards. - Methods to create quality data models. - Methods to sustain quality data definitions. - Information quality methodology for measurement and sustainability. - Global data quality assurance. - Business data quality methodology, frameworks, models, and measurement techniques. - Others.

Notre étude, qui se veut systématique, montre d'une part, que d'autres éléments morpho-syntaxiques peuvent participer à l'expression du mouvement. Les prédicats de mouvement peuvent être des verbes, des prédicats nominaux et, en nombre moindre, des adjectifs prédicatifs. D'autre part, la compositionnalité sémantique qui caractérise l'expression du mouvement donne lieu à des combinatoires morpho-syntaxiques entre certaines classes sémantiques de prédicats qui peuvent être exploitées dans le traitement automatique. D'abord nous avons précisé sémantiquement et syntaxiquement la notion de déplacement.

Traditionally, these two areas of study have been perceived as distinct, with different algorithms, different applications, and different potential end-users. However, as recent research work has shown, these two disciplines are in fact intimately connected, with a large variety of natural language processing applications finding efficient solutions within graph-theoretical frameworks. In many NLP applications entities can be naturally represented as nodes in a graph and relations between them can be represented as edges. Recent research has shown that graph-based representations of linguistic units as diverse as words, sentences and documents give rise to novel and efficient solutions in a variety of NLP tasks, ranging from part of speech tagging, word sense disambiguation and parsing to information extraction, semantic role assignment, summarisation, sentiment analysis and up to the study of the evolutionary dynamics of language. The TextGraphs workshop addresses a broad spectrum of research areas and brings together researchers working on problems related to the use of graph-based algorithms for natural language processing as well as on the theory of graph-based methods. We are interested in looking at graph-based methods from the perspective of diverse applications to facilitate a discussion about the theory of graph-based methods and about the theoretical justification of the empirical results within the NLP community. Starting with TextGraphs-3 we would like to have one area of graph-based NLP research as the primary topic for discussion. This year's focus is on large scale lexical acquisition and representation. Efficient graph methods can help to alleviate the acquisition bottleneck for lexicon construction and resource building. They also provide smarter representation schemes for the lexicon that facilitate fast search and word retrieval. SIGLEX endorsed our workshop proposal for COLING-08. We invite submissions of papers on graph-based methods applied to NLP problems. Especially, we encourage submissions regarding *Large-scale lexical acquisition using graph representations *Graph-based representation schemes of the mental lexicon Other topics include, but are not limited to: *Graph representations for ontology learning *Graph labeling and edge labeling for semantic representations *Encoding semantic distances in graphs *Graph algorithms for word sense disambiguation *Graph methods for Information Retrieval, Information Extraction, Text Mining and Understanding *Random walk graph methods *Spectral graph clustering *Small world graphs in natural language processing *Semi-supervised graph-based methods *Statistical network methods and analysis *Dynamic graph representations for NLP Organisation Committee Irina Matveeva, Accenture Technology Labs, matveeva AT cs.uchicago.edu Chris Biemann, Powerset, biem AT informatik.uni-leipzig.de Monojit Choudhury, Microsoft Research, monojit AT microsoft.com Mona Diab, Columbia University, mdiab AT cs.columbia.edu Program Committee Eneko Agirre, University of the Basque Country Edo Airoldi, Princeton University Regina Barzilay, MIT Fernando Diaz, Yahoo!

The workshop will be a forum for researchers and practicioners working * on NLP applications, * on the theoretical and implementation aspects, or * on their combination. The special theme of FSMNLP 2008 centers around high performance finite-state devices in large-scale natural language text processing systems and applications. We invite in particular novel high-quality papers related to the topics including: * practices and experience in deployment of finite-state techniques in real-world applications processing massive amount of natural language data * industrial-strength finite-state pattern engines for information retrieval, information extraction and related text-mining tasks * scalability issues in FS-based large-scale text processing systems * efficient finite-state methods in search engines * implementation, construction, compression and processing techniques for huge finite-state devices and networks * novel application and efficiency-oriented finite-state paradigms (compilation and processing), e.g., finite-state devices with rich label annotatations, unification-based finite-state devices * comparative studies of time and space efficient finite-state methods (vs. other techniques) utilized in NLP applications * novel appllication areas for finite-state devices in text processing and information management systems * design patterns for implementing finite-state devices and toolkits We also invite submissions that are related to the traditional FSMNLP themes including but not limited to: 1. NLP applications and linguistic aspects of finite-state methods The topic includes but is not restricted to: * speech, sign language, phonology, hyphenation, prosody, * scripts, text normalization, segmentation, tokenization, indexing, * morphology, stemming, lemmatisation, information retrieval, web mining, spelling correction, * syntax, POS tagging, partial parsing, disambiguation, information extraction, question answering * machine translation, translation memories, glossing, dialect adaptation, * annotated corpora and treebanks, semi-automatic annotation, error mining, searching 2.

This participation is free of charge and participants can keep and use the development and evaluation data for free after the evaluations for research and development purposes. INFILE (INformation, Filtrage, Evaluation) is a cross-language adaptive filtering evaluation campaign jointly organized by CEA, Université de Lille 3 and ELDA. It is organized as a pilot track in CLEF 2008 and is supported by NIST TREC. INFILE extends the last filtering track of TREC 2002 in the following ways: -INFILE is crosslingual (English, French and Arabic); a corpus of 100,000 comparable news-wire stories from Agence France Presse (AFP) for each language is used for the evaluations. -Evaluation will be performed using an automatic interrogation of test systems with a simulated user feedback. Each system will be able to use the feedback at any time to increase performance. The participant systems will have to provide a Boolean decision for each document according to each filtering profile. A curve of the evolution of efficiency will be computed. Although cross-lingual systems are encouraged, the campaign is also open to monolingual systems. Tasks and languages ------------------- Two tasks and three languages are considered. The first task is Information Filtering on general news and events. For this task, participants will have to classify each transmitted news-wire into zero, one or more different profiles. 30 general profiles will be made available in 3 languages (Arabic, English and French). The second task is Information Filtering on science and technology domain. Participants will have to associate to each news-wire zero, one or more science and technology profiles. A total of 20 profiles will be available in 3 languages (Arabic, English and French). For each task, participants are free to register to monolingual filtering (e.g. information filtering using profiles and news-wires in the same language) or to crosslingual filtering (e.g. information filtering according to profiles in one language and news-wires in another language). Corpus ------ The corpus consists of 300,000 news-wires in Arabic, English and French from the news agency Agence France Presse covering the 2004-2006 period. The news-wires are related to general news and events information and are comparable between Arabic, English and French. Protocol description --------------------- General information about the domain of profiles is given to each participant. 15 days afterwards, 50 profiles are given to participants (30 general profiles and 20 profiles related to science and technology). Profiles are composed of a list of keywords (simple and complex noun phrases) and up to 3 documents illustrating each profile. Then, news-wires are transmitted by the organizer to an automated interface of each participating system. The interface returns a Boolean response for each profile. After reception of this response, and if requested by the participant, the organizer sends a feedback consisting of expected profile assignments for each document submitted. Participants may adapt their system at any time using this feedback.

Please visit http://www.jinr.org and click on "articles". JINR is an electronic journal, with a printed version to be negotiated with a major publisher once we have established a steady presence. The journal will bring to the fore research in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning that uncovers interesting negative results. It is becoming more and more obvious that the research community in general, and those who work NLP and ML in particular, are biased towards publishing successful ideas and experiments. Insofar as both our research areas focus on theories "proven" via empirical methods, we are sure to encounter ideas that fail at the experimental stage for unexpected, and often interesting, reasons. Much can be learned by analysing why some ideas, while intuitive and plausible, do not work. The importance of counter-examples for disproving conjectures is already well known. Negative results may point to interesting and important open problems. Knowing directions that lead to dead-ends in research can help others avoid replicating paths that take them nowhere. This might accelerate progress or even break through walls! We propose this journal as a resource that gives a voice to negative results which stem from intuitive and justifiable ideas, proven wrong through thorough and well-conducted experiments. We also encourage the submission of short papers/communications presenting counter-examples to usually accepted conjectures or to published papers. The journal's scope encompasses all areas of Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. Papers published in JINR will meet the highest quality standards, as measured by the originality and significance of the contribution. They will describe research with theoretical and practical significance. All theories and ideas will have to be clearly stated and justified by a deep literature review.

Luxembourg, 17 April 2008 - During the Open Day at the University of Luxembourg on 12 April 2008 more than 50 interested persons followed the trilingual introduction to the innovative MA study programme "Learning and Development in Multilingual and Multicultural Contexts" (MA multi-LEARN) that accepted students for the first time in 2007. Currently, students from 18 different nations from four continents participate in this programme in educational sciences. Prerequisites are a completed three-year degree (or equivalent) at a university, the functional mastery of two of the three academic languages (English, French, German) as well as the submission of a personalized application file. Successful candidates for the study programme demonstrate motivation and interest in individual as well as organisational learning, development and mediation processes in today's age of diversity, information management and international mobility. The previous degree can be earned in a wide range of fields. Applicants have had backgrounds in educational sciences, computer sciences, applied linguistics, communication sciences, psychology, organisational development, business administration, political sciences, marketing and tourism. The study programme gives students a unique opportunity to develop their own profile as learner, actor and innovator in complex, multi facetted development processes. The four pillars of the study programme combine and contrast case-based analyses with regard to media and socio-cultural shaped learning and communication processes, information brokering and information design, multilingualism and its integration into the educational landscape, multimodality and knowledge transfer. Experts from Luxembourg and abroad hold seminars and thus allow students to gain broad knowledge about current research trends and debates in the discussed fields. Furthermore, the academic programme that can be studies in two (full-time) or four years (part-time) includes international master classes jointly organised with complementary study programmes in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Switzerland as well as workshops with business partners and educational institutions. Each student also receives an academic mentor for the duration of the study programme.

It is an international conference focusing on stringology and related areas. It is organized annually by the Prague Stringology Club, a research group in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague. TOPICS: Stringology is a part of algorithmic research that deals with the processing of text strings. It has existed for at least thirty years and developed into a respected subfield of its own. The last fifteen years have produced an explosion of new results. This progress is due in part to the human genome effort, an area to which string algorithms make important contributions. The topics of the conference include but are not limited to: * algorithms for pattern matching in strings, images and trees * data structures (automata, trees etc.) for pattern matching in strings, images and trees * coding and data compression * bioinformatics * information retrieval * string processing algorithms in databases * searching for regularities * natural language processing INVITED TALK: * The Road Coloring and Cerny Conjecture A.

Lytras The mini-conference "Semantic Web and Web 2.0 Collaboration Technologies for the Knowledge Society" will promote a knowledge transfer channel where academics, practitioners, and researchers can discuss, analyze, criticize, synthesize, communicate, elaborate, and simplify the more-than-promising technology of the semantic Web in the context of information systems. This mini-conference aims to establish value-adding knowledge transfer and personal development channels in three distinctive areas: academia, industry, and government. Within the Conference there are two pillars: EDITORS/CHAIRS Ernesto Damiani, University of Milano, Italy, E-mail: damiani AT dti.unimi.it Miltiadis Lytras, University of Patras, Greece, Email: Lytras AT ceid.upatras.gr Ambjorn Naeve, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, E-mail:amb AT nada.kth.se Gottfried Vossen , University of Muenster, Germany, Email: vossen AT helios.uni-muenster.de CALL FOR PAPERS The Human Semantic Web: Personalization, Management of Personal Knowledge and Identity, Systems for the Knowledge Society" Workshop for a Special Issue on an IEEE Transactions Special Issue The Semantic Web vision has evolved in the last years as a blueprint for a knowledge-based framework aimed at crossing the chasm from the current Web of unstructured information resources to a Web equipped with metadata and oriented to delegation of tasks to software agents. Ontologies are the key piece of this framework in that they provide shared semantics to metadata, thus enabling a degree of semantic interoperability. The requirements of large-scale deployment and interoperability of the Semantic Web vision represent a major challenge to data and knowledge engineering, which raises a number of issues and requirements regarding how to represent, create, manage and use both ontologies as shared knowledge representations, but also large volumes of metadata records used to annotate Web resources of a diverse kind. The special issue aims at helping in communicating and disseminating relevant recent research in knowledge and data engineering as applied to the context of Information Systems. The scope of the call includes Knowledge Engineering for organizational applications, Semantic Web approaches to Information Systems and Ontology-Based Information Systems research, as well as the diverse underlying Database and Knowledge Representation aspects. Papers dealing with aspects that touch both aspects are especially sought. This is intended to initiate a dialog between the organizational and more technical views of the field. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Applications of the Human Semantic Web to the Knowledge Society: - Potentially large-scale applications (e.g. to Personal Knowledge Management, Semantic Desktop, Knowledge Portals) - Data Semantics and Web Semantics in peer-to-peer systems, grids, multimedia - Communication, dialogue and argumentation models - Mediation, negotiation and conflict resolution 2. Representing and Managing Semantic Web Data and Services: - Languages, Tools, Methodologies, Rules - Database, IR and AI technologies - Integration, Analysis and Visualization - Robust and scalable logics, knowledge management and reasoning - Machine learning and information extraction - Semantic Interoperability, Workflows, Web Mining - Semantic Web Services and Processes (description, discovery, invocation, composition, choreography, cleaning, assurance, trust, provenance, etc.) - Middleware and services for Personalization and User Modelling - Semantic matching of user needs and web resources 3. Ontologies: - Ontology Alignment (mapping, matching, merging, mediation and reconciliation) - Ontology Learning and Metadata Generation (e.g. HLT and ML approaches) - Ontology Management (creation, evolution, evaluation, etc.) - Ontology Modeling, reuse, extraction, and evolution - Searching and Ranking ontologies 4. Social Semantic Web: - Social networks and processes on the Semantic Web - Semantic web technology for collaboration and cooperation - Representing and reasoning about Trust, Privacy, Security and Intellectual Property Rights - Tools and processes for sense-making, analysis and decision-making - Supporting strategic communication 5. User Interfaces: - Interacting with Semantic Web Data - Semantic Web content creation and annotation - Mashing up Semantic Web data and processes CALL FOR PAPERS Web 2.0 for the Knowledge Society: Social Netowrking, Collaboration, Management of Knowledge in Social Networks EDITORS/CHAIRS Ernesto Damiani, University of Milano, Italy, E-mail: damiani at dti.unimi.it Miltiadis Lytras, University of Patras, Greece, Email: Lytras at ceid.upatras.gr Ambjorn Naeve, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, E-mail:amb at nada.kth..se Gottfried Vossen , University of Muenster, Germany, Email: vossen at helios.uni-muenster.de The key objective of the miniconference is to advancing the knowledge on design variables and conditions for social networks. Knowledge Management and Semantic Web are used as the technological lenses for the specification and analysis of these variables towards a new era of social interactions and human experiences with computers. As semantic technologies prove their value with targeted applications, there are increasing opportunities to consider their application insocial contexts for learning and human development. Knowledge management has been accepted as a critical enabler aiming to increase knowledge-related performance by better use of intellectual assets, in addition to which many governments are forced to increasingly deal with knowledge services that form larger parts of the global economy and society. Thus there are recent examples of applications of semantics for empowering knowledge management or better supporting knowledge services for social networks. The special issue aims at communicating and disseminating recent research and success stories that bring the power of semantics to improve upon traditional knowledge management approaches, or realize emerging requirements of knowledge services for social networks. In the context of knowledge management, social and human issues are of equal if not higher importance than the technical issues that have tended to receive the bulk of attention in the past. Consequently, papers that touch these aspects, or those that extend technical and domain knowledge to social and human issues are especially sought. This is intended to initiate a dialog between the social, psychological and technical views of the field. References: [1]. Lytras M.

While this difficulty is usually evaluated by means of empirical performance measures, such as labeled precision and recall, several theoretical measures have also been proposed in the literature, mostly based on the notion of cross-entropy of a treebank. We show how cross-entropy can be misleading to this end, and propose an alternative theoretical measure, called the expected conditional cross-entropy (ECC). We conjecture that the ECC provides a measure of the informativeness of a treebank, in such a way that more informative treebanks are easier to parse under the chosen model. We test our conjecture by comparing ECC values against standard performance measures across several treebanks for English, French, German and Italian, as well as other treebanks with different degrees of ambiguity and informativeness, obtained by means of artificial transformations of a source treebank. All of our experiments show the effectiveness of the ECC in characterizing parsing difficulty across different treebanks, making it possible treebank comparison.

Many of the models and theories conjectured can only receive their validation from a convergence of arguments developed across disciplines. The book underscores this dimension by including contribution from disciplines that have been wary, traditionally, of extending beyond their borders: linguistics (different branches thereof), philosophy, history and prehistory, archaeology, anthropology, genetics, computer-modelling. The presentation is intended to encompass both the agreements and disjunctures characteristic of the field and insisted on laying open propositions that clearly differ from, possibly even enter into contradiction with one another. While several teams of researchers active in the fields of genetics, linguistics, anthropology and archaeology have come up with new proposals in favor of the "New Synthesis," many competing hypotheses and models continue to be explored in areal linguistics, language contact, wave-like diffusion. On the anthropological scene, criticisms of the monogenetic model have set up new debates and counter-arguments. Approaching the issue of the origin and evolution of human languages within a Darwinian paradigm remains problematic. On the archaeological scene, not all reconstructions are proving compatible with current models for the circulation of techniques, myths and cultures. On the linguistic scene, raising again the issue of the origin / evolution of humankind and of languages in an evolutionary, cognitive, social and cultural perspective or in terms of generational transmission and acquisition, may induce a reconsideration of linguistic theories in search of universals as well as most theories of change and variation. All contributors are world-renowned experts in their domain.

Aujourd'hui, le nouveau défi consiste à étendre ces compétences à la construction correcte de phrases en langue cible, afin de produire des textes grammaticalement acceptables. Plusieurs techniques sont en concurrence dans ce domaine : générateurs de structures de surface à partir d'une représentation pivot, ainsi que diverses méthodes d'apprentissage de formes grammaticales et de tournures de phrases à partir de corpus. Le sujet de la thèse proposée consiste en l'étude théorique et expérimentale de la contribution de l'analyse syntaxique de la langue source à la génération (allégée) de phrases grammaticalement correctesen langue cible. Les travaux de l'équipe (Chauché et Prince 2006, Bonnin et Prince 2007, disponibles dans la documentation en ligne du LIRMM, sur HAL), montrent que la construction syntaxique en langue cible, si celle-ci n'est pas très éloignée de la langue source (comme les couples français-anglais, français-espagnol, français- allemand), peut être réalisée par transformation de la construction syntaxique des unités en langue source. Parmi les buts du travail proposé nous pouvons mentionner : d'étendre, d'améliorer et de réajuster les premières transformations proposées dans les travaux cités , éventuellement en "apprenant" ces transformations à partir de données alignées. A partir du prototype existant SYGFtoE de traduction du français vers l'anglais, construire une grammaire de transformations. Cette grammaire doit être le résultat d'un travail théorique et algorithmique relativement important à partir des structures apprises en 1. Evaluer ce travail sur un ou plusieurs corpus. Candidature : Les candidats devront faire acte de candidature auprès de Christophe Dony, sur le lien suivant : http://www.lirmm.fr/~iss/specdoctinfo/InfoCandidatureAlloc.html avant le 30 mai 2008. Une formation en TAL est vivement conseillée. Pour tout renseignement, envoyer un mail à : prince at lirmm.fr PhD Thesis Subject (Autumn 2008) Contribution of Syntactic Analysis to Machine Translation Machine Translation has tremendously progressed in tasks such as lexical transfer (word translation), idiomatic expressions, with the help of statistical lexical techniques, advanced multilingual resources and the availability of aligned corpora. Nowadays, the new challenge is to extend these skills to correct sentences building in the target language, in order to produce grammatically acceptable texts. Several methods are competing in this field: Surface structure generators from a pivot representation as well as numerous grammatical structures and sentence style learning techniques, using corpora. The subject of this PhD thesis consists in studying, theoretically as well as experimentally, the source language syntactic analysis (through parsing) contribution to the generation of grammatically correct sentences in the target language. Some of our team contributions (namely Chauché and Prince 2006, Bonnin and Prince 2007, available at the LIRMM the on-line documentation HAL ), show that the syntactic generation of the target language, if the latter is not very far from the source (pairs such as English-German, French-English, French-Spanish...), might be obtained through the source language units syntactic structure transformation. The goals of this work include but are not restricted to: Extending, enhancing and refurbishing the existing transformation rules and models suggested in the cited words, possibly through learning these transformations from aligned data. Building a transformation grammar, from the existing French to English translation protoype SYGFtoE. This grammar must result from a theoretical and algorithmical reworking of the structures learnt in step 1. Evaluating this work with corpora. Application: Candidates must apply at Pr. Dony's following URL : http://www.lirmm.fr/~iss/specdoctinfo/InfoCandidatureAlloc.html before May, 30th. A good level in NLP and fluency in French are recommended.

Dans un deuxième temps, l'objectif est de produire une chaîne d'annotation linguistique, basée sur le framework UIMA, en s'appuyant sur l'expérience acquise par l'équipe RCLN sur la plate forme d'annotation linguistique Ogmios. Pour permettre l'annotation sémantique, une réflexion sur la représentation des données doit être menée en collaboration avec les membres de l'équipe RCLN. * Profil L'équipe RCLN cherche à recruter un candidat titulaire d'un diplôme d'ingénieur, ou dans sa dernière année d'études, en informatique ou dans un domaine proche. Ce travail nécessite une capacité d'abstraction importante, de bonnes compétences en conception orienté objet ainsi qu'en Java. * Lieu, Durée et Rémunération Contrat de 4 à 6 mois, à pourvoir dès que possible. Rémunération suivant qualification. Le poste est à pourvoir au LIPN. Ce contrat peut déboucher sur un CDD d'ingénieur de recherche de durée plus longue. * Comment postuler Envoyer un CV et une lettre de motivation par courrier électronique à l'adresses ci-dessous. * Contact Laurent AUDIBERT Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris-Nord (LIPN) CNRS UMR 7030 et Université Paris 13 99, avenue Jean-Baptiste Clément 93430 Villetaneuse ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Evaluation and implementation of the UIMA framework for data-driven NLP pipeline. * Scientific context The first objective consists in assessing the interest (in terms of annotation format, of processing time, of reusability, of parallel computing, and of Internet services deployment) of the UIMA framework to develop a data-driven NLP pipeline. The second objective is to produce an UIMA data-driven NLP pipeline reusing RCLN team experience acquired with the Ogmios text processing platform. To enable the semantic annotation, the annotation format will rely on a formalism unifying the representation of terminological and ontological resources, which will be defined in collaboration with RCLN members. * Profile The RCLN team is willing to hire a candidate holder of an engineering degree, or in his/her last year of studies, in Computer Science or in a close domain. The job requires good skills in object-oriented conception and Java language. * Location, Duration and Salary 4 to 6 months contract, with a start date as soon as possible. Salary depends on experience. The position requires working at LIPN (see address below). This contract could evolve in a research engineer Fixed-Term Contract for longer period. * How to apply Send CV and cover letter to the following email (see contact) * Contact Laurent AUDIBERT Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris-Nord (LIPN) CNRS UMR 7030 et Université Paris 13 99, avenue Jean-Baptiste Clément 93430 Villetaneuse ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR Mon May 19 13:34:33 2008 From: thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Mon, 19 May 2008 15:34:33 +0200 Subject: Revue: DISCOURS Nouvelle revue électroniqu e Message-ID: Date: Thu, 15 May 2008 14:51:59 +0200 From: "laure.sarda at ens.fr" Message-ID: <461fa7f70805150551p4f89be94i7ee2b94615a7d3e6 at mail.gmail.com> X-url: http://discours.revues.org/ X-url: http://www.revues.org X-url: http://discours.revues.org/index66.html X-url: http://discours.revues.org/index301.html X-url: http://discours.revues.org/index100.html X-url: http://discours.revues.org/index101.html X-url: http://discours.revues.org/index117.html X-url: http://discours.revues.org/index68.html X-url: http://discours.revues.org/index116.html Merci de diffuser cette annonce. ************************************************************* (English version below) Nous avons le plaisir d'annoncer la parution d'une nouvelle *revue électronique internationale et interdisciplinaire* *DISCOURS* *Revue de linguistique, psycholinguistique et informatique* *http://discours.revues.org/* ISSN électronique 1963-1723 DISCOURS est *en ligne en texte intégral* sur le portail Revues.org dans la rubrique des « Cahiers », (http://www.revues.org).

The duration of the workshop is one day. WORKSHOP SCOPE AND AIM A vital requirement for social robots and virtual agents is the ability to infer the affective and mental states of humans, so as to be able to engage in and behave appropriately during sustained social interactions. Examples include ensuring that the user is interested in maintaining the interaction or providing suitable empathic responses. A fundamental component in these 'mentalizing' and 'empathizing' capabilities is the interpretation of human behavior from sensory input, which must be conducted in a timely manner. This workshop will consider real-time computational techniques for the recognition and interpretation of human verbal and non-verbal behavior, models of 'mentalizing' and 'empathizing' for integrative representation and processing of input data, and implementation to support human-agent and human-robot interaction frameworks. In particular, the workshop seeks to bring together researchers working on the real-time interpretation of user behavior to produce mid- or high-level state descriptors, from basic emotions to more complex appraisals or mental states (e.g. agreement and interest, or blends of several emotions) with those who wish to apply this capacity as part of a 'social perception' module or equivalent in social robot and virtual agent interaction frameworks. WORKSHOP TOPICS - Multimodal affect recognition (facial expressions, body language, speech, physiological, etc.) - Perception-action loops in agents/robots - Cognitive and affective mentalizing / theory of mind - Social appraisal - Visual attention - Theories of emotion - Emotion and cognitive state representation - Context awareness - Cognitive modelling of user - User engagement - Evaluation of affective interaction and user-centred design - Applications: interactive games, empathic interfaces, etc. PROGRAM COMMITTEE Nadia Bianchi-Berthouze (University College London, UK) Antonio Camurri (DIST-University of Genova, Italy) Lola Canamero(University of Hertfordshire, UK) Roddy Cowie (Queen's University Belfast, UK) Kerstin Dautenhahn (University of Hertfordshire, UK) Dirk Heylen (University of Twente, The Netherlands) Stefanos Kollias (ICCS / NTUA, Greece) Peter William McOwan (Queen Mary University of London, UK) Ana Paiva (INESC-ID, Portugal) Maja Pantic (Imperial College, UK / University of Twente, The Netherlands) Catherine Pelachaud (Université de Paris 8, France) Marc Schroeder (DFKI, Germany) Asimina Vasalou (Imperial College, UK) WORKSHOP CHAIRS Ginevra Castellano (Queen Mary University of London, UK) Kostas Karpouzis (ICCS / NTUA, Greece) Christopher Peters (Université de Paris 8, France / Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Jean-Claude Martin (LIMSI-CNRS, France) SUBMISSIONS Authors are invited to submit papers (2-page abstract) in the areas of interest of the workshop.

NooJ is a freeware, linguistic engineering development environment used to formalize various types of textual phenomena (orthography, lexical and productive morphology, local, structural and transformational syntax) using a large gamut of computational devices (from Finite-State Automata to Augmented Recursive Transition Networks). NooJ includes tools to construct, test, debug, maintain and accumulate large sets linguistic resources, and can apply them to large texts. NooJ is used as a linguistic engineering development platform, a corpus processor, an information extraction system, a terminological extractor, a Machine Translation development tool as well as to teach linguistics and computational linguistics. To learn more about NooJ, download the software, linguistic resources, manual, tutorials and reference papers: www.nooj4nlp.net. This conference will hopefully provide an opportunity for NooJ users, as well as other researchers interested in corpus linguistics, to meet and to exchange their experience of development, research or teaching. It will also be the occasion to present and discover the recent developments of NooJ (v2.0). The preliminary programme of the conference is downloadable from: http://www.nytud.hu/nooj08/programme.html Registration for the conference is online (please, register until May 30, if you are a listener) - either via http://www.nytud.hu/nooj08/accreg.html or directly at: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pQcW8Kfd8XtGROhBYslaOBw For any further information, please, also consult the website or turn to nooj08 [at] nytud [dot] hu ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR Mon May 26 09:19:10 2008 From: thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Mon, 26 May 2008 11:19:10 +0200 Subject: Cursus; European Masters Program in Computational Logic Message-ID: Date: Fri, 23 May 2008 14:43:09 +0200 From: Bertram Fronhöfer Message-ID: <20080523124309.GA564 at janeway.inf.tu-dresden.de> X-url: http://european.computational-logic.org/ *** EUROPEAN MASTERS PROGRAM IN COMPUTATIONAL LOGIC *** european.computational-logic.org/ The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is a distributed MSc program which is offered by the following universities: * Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal * Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy * Technische Universitaet Dresden, Germany * Technische Universitaet Wien, Austria * Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Spain Students select two out of the five partner universities, study for one year at each of the selected universities and will receive a double MSc-degree from the selected universities. NEXT APPLICATION DEADLINES: - 31 May 2008: deadline for all European and non-European students (notification of acceptance: 15 July 2008) SCHOLARSHIPS & MONEY SUPPORT: There will be 12 consortium scholarships to waive one year's tuition fee of 3.000 ? for students who newly enroll in the winter semester 2008 and do not receive any other scholarship. These scholarships will be given on the basis of academic merit. Every year 10 EMCL students with European citizenship can visit Australia (Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane) up to 3 months to work on a research project, sponsored by the European Master. The study period in Australia is part of the study programme and it is fully recognised by the European Master's Program in Computational Logic. The guaranteed scholarship is of 3,100 ? and it covers the travel and living expenses in Australia. APPLICATION: Check this web page for detailed info on applications: http://european.computational-logic.org/ THE STUDY PROGRAMME: The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is designed to meet the demands of industry and research in this rapidly growing area. Based on a solid foundation in mathematical logic, theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence and declarative programming students will acquire in-depth knowledge necessary to specify, implement and run complex systems as well as to prove properties of these systems. In particular, the focus of instruction will be in deduction systems, knowledge representation and reasoning, artificial intelligence, formal specification and verification, syntax directed semantics, logic and automata theory, logic and computability. This basic knowledge is then applied to areas like logic and natural language processing, logic and the semantic web, bioinformatics, information systems and database technology, software and hardware verification. Students will acquire practical experience and will become familiar in the use of tools within these applications. In addition, students will be prepared for a future PhD, they will come in contact with the international research community and will be integrated into ongoing research projects. They will develop competence in foreign languages and international relationships, thereby improving their social skills. Applicants should have a Bachelor degree (Bologna 1st cycle or equivalent) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Logic, or other relevant disciplines; special cases will be considered. The program has various strength that make it unique among European universities: * Curriculum taught entirely in English: The program is open to the world and prepares the students to move on the international scene. * Possibility of a strongly research-oriented curriculum. * Possibility for project-based routes to obtain the degree and extensive lab facilities. * International student community. * Direct interaction with the local and international industry and research centres, with the possibility of practical and research internships that can lead to future employment. * Excellent scholarship opportunities and student accommodations. The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is one of the few European Masters awarded by the European Union's Erasmus Mundus programme from its first year of existence in 2004. The Erasmus Mundus programme is a co-operation and mobility programme in the field of higher education which promotes the European Union as a centre of excellence in learning around the world. It supports European top-quality Masters Courses and enhances the visibility and attractiveness of European higher education in third-countries. It also provides EU-funded scholarships for third-country nationals participating in these Masters Courses, as well as scholarships for EU-nationals studying in third-countries.

Nous vous remercions de le faire circuler aupres des jeunes chercheurs et doctorants de votre laboratoire. Cordialement, pour le comite d'organisation, Anna Makerova École Doctorale 139 « Connaissance, langage, modélisation ». Colloque des doctorants et jeunes chercheurs : 8 et 9 octobre 2008 COLDOC 2008, organisé par le Laboratoire MoDyCo UMR 7114, le CNRS et l'Université UPX Paris Ouest Nanterre - La Défense. Appel à Communication L'édition 2008 de COLDOC, le colloque des doctorants et jeunes chercheurs en Sciences du Langage de l'Université UPX Paris Ouest Nanterre - La Défense aura pour thème : « La question des méthodes en Sciences du Langage. » Il semble nécessaire d'approfondir la réflexion sur le choix et l'usage des méthodes de recherche dans le travail scientifique et, plus particulièrement, dans le travail d'élaboration d'une thèse. La méthode de recherche a ainsi des répercussions pratiques sur des éléments fondamentaux comme : 1) la quantité et la qualité des résultats obtenus ; 2) la nature et l'analyse de ces résultats ; 3) les liens des résultats avec la théorie élaborée ; 4) le type de données rassemblées en corpus ; 5) le choix et l'utilisation de l'enquête ou de l'entretien. L'analyse d'une méthode nécessite la prise en considération aussi bien des concepts de la méthode en question, que du type de corpus et de la discipline à laquelle s'applique la recherche en Sciences du Langage. L'analyse d'une méthode amène aussi à s'interroger sur l'utilisation des Nouvelles Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication (NTIC) dans la constitution et le traitement des corpus oraux lors d'une enquête de terrain, ou de données écrites pour les corpus textuels. La complexité du choix et de l'application d'une méthode engage le chercheur à se poser un certain nombre de questions et à envisager des pistes de réflexion. Nous vous invitons à exposer : - soit la problématique posée par le choix de votre méthode - soit les différentes adaptations au cours de la constitution de votre corpus - soit les différentes interférences entre méthode et analyse de vos données - soit la pertinence du recours à d'autres disciplines scientifiques Nous attendons votre proposition de communication à l'adresse suivante : coldoc2008 at yahoo.fr (Format Word ou OpenOffice, police 12, marge 2,5, interligne 1,5, justifié) La proposition devra être envoyée en fichier attaché d'une page minimum à deux pages maximum comprenant : - Le titre ; - Le résumé ; - Une bibliographie de 5 titres maximum ; - 5 mots-clés. Préciser au début du fichier (au format .doc ou .odt) s'il s'agit d'une proposition de communication ou d'un Poster, et l'intituler : Titre_abrégé_de_la_communication.doc ou .odt Nous vous remercions d'indiquer dans le corps du message votre nom, votre adresse e-mail, le titre de la communication, l'Université et le laboratoire de rattachement, le directeur de thèse et la date de soutenance de thèse le cas échéant. La durée des communications est fixée à 20 minutes, suivies d'une discussion de 10 minutes. Les communications se feront en français ou en anglais. Session Posters, hors thème complémentaire : Un Espace-Posters est mis à disposition de ceux qui souhaitent participer à COLDOC 2008 et qui n'auraient pas le temps ou les moyens de proposer une réflexion dans le cadre de l'appel à communication ci-dessus.

Or, on sait que dans les domaines techniques notamment (Droit, médecine, etc.), le comportement langagier peut varier de manière importante et les ressources existantes doivent être adaptées et complétées. On présente ici une approche originale permettant d'inférer des informations de valence à partir de gros corpus, sans lexique ni schéma de valence prédéfini. La difficulté principale vient du fait que l'on est confronté à des formes de surface ambiguës à partir desquelles on souhaite inférer des connaissances non ambiguës. Les expériences que nous présentons sont basées sur un corpus de 10 ans du journal Le Monde, comprenant environ 200 millions de mots. On verra l'apport des informations de nature statistiques dans ce cadre ; on verra aussi comment les expériences effectuées peuvent nous amener à voir de façon différente les notions d'arguments et de modifieurs. Au cours de la discussion, on souhaite échanger sur ces techniques et voir en quoi elles pourraient compléter des travaux de nature différente, en particulier ceux qui visent à élaborer des bases lexicales à la main.

Statistiques 2007 sur la présence des langues latines sur la Toile En 1992, la langue anglaise occupait la quasi-totalité de la Toile. En 15 ans, la situation a beaucoup évolué : la présence de l'anglais a largement diminué de moitié, tandis que les langues latines tendent à s'imposer. Cette étude, fruit d'une collaboration entre l'Organisation intergouvernementale Union latine et l'ONG Funredes, bénéficie du soutien de la Délégation générale à la langue française et aux langues de France. Présentation de l'étude L'Union latine et Funredes étudient depuis 1996 la place des langues latines sur la Toile. Cette septième édition de l'étude s'est modernisée et intègre quelques nouveautés. En plus de l'espagnol, du français, de l'italien, du portugais, du roumain et de l'allemand, le catalan figure désormais parmi les langues traitées. Elle inclut toujours une compilation de tout ce qui a été mesuré depuis l'origine de l'étude, tout en se concentrant sur l'étude comparative de la présence des langues latines par rapport à l'anglais (et à l'allemand) dans les sites Web, mais également dans les blogues, espace de mesure nouvellement ajouté. En outre, cette étude présente des résultats détaillés par espace linguistique, ce qui permet de comparer la productivité de pages Web par pays. Méthodologie Le principe méthodologique de l'étude demeure le même, à savoir, la sélection rigoureuse de termes équivalents dans l'ensemble des langues étudiées, la mesure du nombre de pages indexées dans un moteur de recherche correspondant à chacun de ces termes dans les différentes langues étudiées et finalement la construction et validation statistique des résultats. Cependant, la méthodologie a dû être légèrement repensée afin de s'adapter aux évolutions des moteurs de recherches et de neutraliser les effets de l'invasion de la publicité sur Internet qui avaient tendance à fausser les résultats. Évolution des langues sur la Toile entre 1998 et 2007 Ces statistiques montrent une stagnation des langues latines face à l'anglais. Cette situation est révélatrice d'un phénomène qui concerne l'espace indexé par chaque moteur de recherche. En 2003, l'anglais connaissait une croissance dans l'espace indexé et cette situation semble se reproduire sur la période 2005-2007. Ce phénomène ne dénote pas une réduction de la présence des langues latines dans le cyberespace, mais plutôt une diminution de leur présence dans les espaces indexés par les grands moteurs de recherche, notamment en raison du développement important de la langue chinoise sur l'Internet. Seul le roumain présente une réelle augmentation, ce qui est certainement une conséquence de sa récente entrée dans l'Union européenne. Productivité des internautes par langue En divisant le pourcentage de pages Web par langue par le nombre d'internautes par langue, on obtient un indice de productivité de pages Web par langue. Ces chiffres montrent bien la faible productivité des pays latins par rapport aux pays francophones et anglophones ; seul l'italien affiche une capacité satisfaisante de production de pages Web en langue nationale.

While this difficulty is usually evaluated by means of empirical performance measures, such as labeled precision and recall, several theoretical measures have also been proposed in the literature, mostly based on the notion of cross-entropy of a treebank. We show how cross-entropy can be misleading to this end, and propose an alternative theoretical measure, called the expected conditional cross-entropy (ECC). We conjecture that the ECC provides a measure of the informativeness of a treebank, in such a way that more informative treebanks are easier to parse under the chosen model. We test our conjecture by comparing ECC values against standard performance measures across several treebanks for English, French, German and Italian, as well as other treebanks with different degrees of ambiguity and informativeness, obtained by means of artificial transformations of a source treebank. All of our experiments show the effectiveness of the ECC in characterizing parsing difficulty across different treebanks, making it possible treebank comparison.

Pierre Zweigenbaum (Rapporteur), M. Bernard Victorri (Directeur), Mme Caroline Brun (Examinatrice - Tuteur industriel), M. Marcel Cori (Examinateur). Cette thèse a été réalisée dans le cadre d'une convention CIFRE, en partenariat avec le laboratoire du LaTICCe (Paris 7) et le Centre de Recherche Xerox à Grenoble, au sein de l'équipe /ParSem/, dirigée par Mme Frédérique Segond. Vous êtes également convié au pot qui suivra. Cordialement, Maud Ehrmann. ****** Résumé de la thèse: Le traitement des entités nommées fait aujourd'hui figure d'incontournable en Traitement Automatique des Langues. Apparue au milieu des années 1990 à la faveur des dernières conférences MUC (Message Understanding Conferences), la tâche de reconnaissance et de catégorisation des noms de personnes, de lieux, d'organisations, etc. apparaît en effet comme fondamentale pour diverses applications participant de l'analyse de contenu et nombreux sont les travaux se consacrant à sa mise en oeuvre, obtenant des résultats plus qu'honorables. Fort de ce succès, le traitement des entités nommées s'oriente désormais vers de nouvelles perspectives avec, entre autres, la désambiguïsation et une annotation enrichie de ces unités. Ces nouveaux défis rendent cependant d'autant plus cruciale la question du statut théorique des entités nommées, lequel n'a guère été discuté jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Deux axes de recherche ont par conséquent été investis durant ce travail de thèse: nous avons, d'une part, tenté de proposer une définition des entités nommées et, d'autre part, expérimenté des méthodes de désambiguïsation. A la suite d'un état des lieux de la tâche de reconnaissance de ces unités et d'un exposé des difficultés pouvant se présenter à l'occasion d'une telle entreprise, il fut avant tout nécessaire d'examiner, d'un point de vue méthodologique, comment aborder la question de la définition les entités nommées. La démarche adoptée invita à se tourner du côté de la linguistique, avec les noms propres et les descriptions définies, puis du côté du traitement automatique, ce parcours visant au final à proposer une définition tenant compte tant des aspects du langage que des capacités et exigences des systèmes informatiques. La suite du mémoire rend compte d'un travail davantage expérimental, avec l'exposé d'une méthode d'annotation fine tout d'abord, de résolution de métonymie enfin. Ces travaux, combinant approche symbolique et approche distributionnelle, rendent compte de la possibilité d'une double annotation (catégories générales et catégories fines) et d'une désambiguïsation des entités nommées. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR Thu May 29 15:37:42 2008 From: thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Thu, 29 May 2008 17:37:42 +0200 Subject: Conf: TOTh 2008, programme detaille Message-ID: Date: Wed, 28 May 2008 18:00:07 +0200 From: Luc Damas Message-ID: <483D8187.3020303 at univ-savoie.fr> X-url: http://www.porphyre.org/toth/08/programme/ X-url: http://www.porphyre.org/toth TOTh 2008 Terminologie & Ontologie : Théories et applications Annecy - 5 & 6 juin 2008 Vous trouverez ci-joint au format PDF le programme détaillé de TOTh 2008 http://www.porphyre.org/toth/08/programme/ JEUDI 5 JUIN ---------------------------------------------------- 8:30 Accueil 10:00 Ouverture 10:30 Rute Costa, Raquel Silva De la typologie à l'ontologie de textes 11:15 Sylvie Despres, Sylvie Szulman Réseau terminologique versus Ontologie 12:00 Dr Dardo de Vecchi, Dr Laurent Estachy Pragmaterminologie : les verbes et les actions dans les métiers 12:45 Repas 14:30 Christophe Roche Faut-il revisiter les principes terminologiques ? 15:15 Pierre Lerat Propositions pour un réseau conceptuel des instruments de mesure oenologiques 16:00 Pause 16:30 Najeh Hajlaoui, Christian Boitet TA statistique : petits corpus pour de petits sous-langages 17:15 Dominique Vauquier La place de la modélisation sémantique dans la méthodologie d'entreprise 18:00 Discussion 20:00 Dîner VENDREDI 6 JUIN ---------------------------------------------------- 9:30 Odile Challe Interrogations sur l'évolution du français de la gestion 10:15 Josée Di Spaldro Modélisation des connaissances métiers du domaine de la génétique humaine en situation d'aménagement terminologique 11:00 Pause 11:30 Anne Dourgnon-Hanoune, Philippe Rouard, Marie Calberg-Challot Une terminologie normée pour la maintenance des moyens de production hydrauliques 12:15 Gérald Kembellec Ontologie franco / anglaise du domaine informatique comme accès à un corpus de textes scientifiques 13:00 Repas 14:30 Hendrik J.

Notamment les projets de recherche (par exemple les projets Europ?ens ou ANR) ont souvent un volet "diss?mination" visant ? d?velopper la visibilit? du projet via des prototypes de d?monstration, des corpus ou des ensembles d'outils logiciels en licence libre. De plus des posters de pr?sentation des projets sont souvent r?alis?s ? l'occasion de diverses manifestations de promotion. La session "Show & Tell" donne la possibilit? de disposer d'un espace de pr?sentation (poster et/ou stand de d?monstration) pour pr?senter de tels projets de recherche. Les modalit?s pratiques pour pr?senter un projet ? la session "Show & Tell" sont les suivantes : - Faire une rapide description (1 page maximum) du projet et joindre ? cette description les moyens techniques demand?s pour la pr?sentation (panneau pour poster, table, connexion internet, etc.) - Envoyer cette proposition par courrier ?lectronique ? : frederic.bechet at univ-avignon.fr avant le 12 mai 2008 - s'inscrire ? la conf?rence. Les pr?sentations ne ferons l'objet que d'une s?lection "technique" : toute pr?sentation dans les th?mes de la conf?rence est accept?e, dans la limite des places disponibles, selon le principe du "premier arriv? / premier servi". Ces pr?sentations apparaitront dans le programme de la conf?rence, mais ne feront pas l'objet de publications dans les actes de JEP/TALN/RECITAL. Dates importantes: - Date limite d'envoi des propositions pour la session "Show & Tell" : 12 mai 2008 - R?ponse aux propositions de pr?sentation : 20 mai 2008 - Date et horaire de la session : Jeudi 12 Juin 17h30-19h30 - Rappel : dates de la conf?rence JEP/TALN/RECITAL = du 9 au 13 juin 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR Mon May 5 10:44:35 2008 From: thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 12:44:35 +0200 Subject: Conf: JEP TALN 2008 Message-ID: Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:08:16 +0200 From: Frederic Bechet Message-ID: <480F26B0.8080209 at univ-avignon.fr> X-url: http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=618 X-url: http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=77 X-url: http://lia.univ-avignon.fr/uploads/media/prog_provisoire_v1.pdf X-url: http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=369 X-url: http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=512 Bonjour, Nous vous rappelons que les inscriptions JEP-TALN/RECITAL 2008 sont ouvertes sur le site conjoint des evenements et que la date limite du tarif reduit a ete etendue au 29/04/2008 Inscriptions : http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=618 Site general : http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=77 Quelques nouveautes sur le site de JEP-TALN : - Programme provisoire de JEP-TALN http://lia.univ-avignon.fr/uploads/media/prog_provisoire_v1.pdf - Programme provisoire de TALN http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=369 - APPEL A PARTICIPATION/PRESENTATION - Session "Show & Tell" PROJETS DE RECHERCHE & DEMO & APPLICATIONS INDUSTRIELLES http://www.lia.univ-avignon.fr/index.php?id=512 Cordialement Pour le comite d'organisation de JEP-TALN/RECITAL 2008 Frederic Bechet ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR Mon May 5 10:47:01 2008 From: thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 12:47:01 +0200 Subject: Conf: Workshop "Multimodal Corpora", LREC 2008 Message-ID: Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 10:18:21 +0200 From: Jean-Claude MARTIN Message-ID: <4810424D.3000202 at limsi.fr> X-url: http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2008/ ************************************************************** Call For Participation International Workshop on MULTIMODAL CORPORA: From Models of Natural Interaction to Systems and Applications Tuesday, 27 May 2008 Full day workshop Marrakech (Morocco) http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2008/ *************************************************************** In Association with LREC2008 (the 6th International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation) http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2008/ Main conference: 28-29-30 May 2008 Palais des Congr?s Mansour Eddahbi Marrakech (Morocco) ------------------------- DESCRIPTION ------------------------- A 'Multimodal Corpus' targets the recording and annotation of several communication modalities such as speech, hand gesture, facial expression, body posture, etc. Theoretical issues are also addressed, given their importance to the design of multimodal corpora. This workshop continues the successful series of similar workshops at LREC 00, 02, 04 and 06 also documented in a special issue of the Journal of Language Resources and Evaluation due to come out in spring 2008. There is an increasing interest in multimodal communication and multimodal corpora as visible by European Networks of Excellence and integrated projects such as HUMAINE, SIMILAR, CHIL, AMI, CALLAS. Furthermore, the success of recent conferences and workshops dedicated to multimodal communication (ICMI, IVA, Gesture, PIT, Nordic Symposia on Multimodal Communication, Embodied Language Processing) and the creation of the Journal of Multimodal User Interfaces also testifies to the growing interest in this area, and the general need for data on multimodal behaviours. The focus of this LREC'2008 workshop on multimodal corpora will be on models of natural interaction and their contribution to the design of multimodal systems and applications. Topics to be addressed include, but are not limited to: - Multimodal corpus collection activities (e.g. direction-giving dialogues, emotional behaviour, human-avatar interaction, human-robot interaction, etc.) - Relations between modalities in natural (human) interaction and in human-computer interaction - Application of multimodal corpora to the design of multimodal and multimedia systems - Fully or semi-automatic multimodal annotation, using e.g. motion capture and image processing, and its integration with manual annotations - Corpus-based design of systems that involve human-like modalities either in input (Virtual Reality, motion capture, etc.) and output (virtual characters) - Multimodal interaction in specific scenarios, e.g. group interaction in meetings - Coding schemes for the annotation of multimodal corpora - Evaluation and validation of multimodal annotations - Methods, tools, and best practices for the acquisition, creation, management, access, distribution, and use of multimedia and multimodal corpora - Interoperability between multimodal annotation tools (exchange formats, conversion tools, standardization) - Metadata descriptions of multimodal corpora - Automated multimodal fusion and/or generation (e.g., coordinated speech, gaze, gesture, facial expressions) - Analysis methods tailored to multimodal corpora using e.g. statistical measures or data mining. We expect the output of this workshop to be: 1) deeper understanding of theoretical issues and research questions related to verbal and non-verbal communication that multimodal corpora should address, 2) larger consensus on how such corpora should be built in order to provide useful and usable answers to research questions, 3) shared knowledge of how the corpora are contributing to multimodal and multimedia system design, and 4) an updated view of state-of-the-art research on multimodal corpora. -------------------------------------------------- TIME SCHEDULE AND REGISTRATION FEE -------------------------------------------------- The workshop will consist of a morning session and an afternoon session.

France and CEO & Founder Global Data Excellence France Topic: We are living in an interesting period of history where information is becoming a key resource in our day to day life. The world is changing more quickly than ever particularly in the area of multi-channel data flows. Furthermore, this data can have many and complex forms; we cite natural language as an example of such. The paradigm shift from the industrial age to the information age is already impacting our behaviour and we are becoming more and more data and information consumers. We are demanding on a daily basis for just-in-time data and information in order to take decisions or actions. The quality of these decisions and actions will depend highly on the quality of data that we use. In the context of globalization, of new technology and of energy volatility, it is clear that we will be demanding accurate data to aid in our choices and decisions. We believe that data and information are key to global sustainability. Therefore, it is imperative to define frameworks, models, methodologies and tools in order to ensure continuous global data excellence and to strive for data pollution prevention. List of subjects: - Framework and methodology to sustain data quality. - Data quality dimensions definitions and mathematical measurement models. - Data quality processes definitions and methods for continuous improvement. - Methodology to perform data cleansing and correction. - How to assess data quality. - Semantic models to define quality rules. - Dealing with complex data forms such as natural language - canonical forms, variants, standards and control. - Models to measure the cost of bad data quality. - Methodologies to ensure consistent data movements between systems. - Methods to measure web content data quality. - Methods and tools to measure unstructured data. - Methodology to sustain unstructured data quality - Models for data quality governance. - Governance model for semantic quality rules. - Data pollution prevention. - Data quality standards. - Methods to create quality data models. - Methods to sustain quality data definitions. - Information quality methodology for measurement and sustainability. - Global data quality assurance. - Business data quality methodology, frameworks, models, and measurement techniques. - Others.

Traditionally, these two areas of study have been perceived as distinct, with different algorithms, different applications, and different potential end-users. However, as recent research work has shown, these two disciplines are in fact intimately connected, with a large variety of natural language processing applications finding efficient solutions within graph-theoretical frameworks. In many NLP applications entities can be naturally represented as nodes in a graph and relations between them can be represented as edges. Recent research has shown that graph-based representations of linguistic units as diverse as words, sentences and documents give rise to novel and efficient solutions in a variety of NLP tasks, ranging from part of speech tagging, word sense disambiguation and parsing to information extraction, semantic role assignment, summarisation, sentiment analysis and up to the study of the evolutionary dynamics of language. The TextGraphs workshop addresses a broad spectrum of research areas and brings together researchers working on problems related to the use of graph-based algorithms for natural language processing as well as on the theory of graph-based methods. We are interested in looking at graph-based methods from the perspective of diverse applications to facilitate a discussion about the theory of graph-based methods and about the theoretical justification of the empirical results within the NLP community. Starting with TextGraphs-3 we would like to have one area of graph-based NLP research as the primary topic for discussion. This year's focus is on large scale lexical acquisition and representation. Efficient graph methods can help to alleviate the acquisition bottleneck for lexicon construction and resource building. They also provide smarter representation schemes for the lexicon that facilitate fast search and word retrieval. SIGLEX endorsed our workshop proposal for COLING-08. We invite submissions of papers on graph-based methods applied to NLP problems. Especially, we encourage submissions regarding *Large-scale lexical acquisition using graph representations *Graph-based representation schemes of the mental lexicon Other topics include, but are not limited to: *Graph representations for ontology learning *Graph labeling and edge labeling for semantic representations *Encoding semantic distances in graphs *Graph algorithms for word sense disambiguation *Graph methods for Information Retrieval, Information Extraction, Text Mining and Understanding *Random walk graph methods *Spectral graph clustering *Small world graphs in natural language processing *Semi-supervised graph-based methods *Statistical network methods and analysis *Dynamic graph representations for NLP Organisation Committee Irina Matveeva, Accenture Technology Labs, matveeva AT cs.uchicago.edu Chris Biemann, Powerset, biem AT informatik.uni-leipzig.de Monojit Choudhury, Microsoft Research, monojit AT microsoft.com Mona Diab, Columbia University, mdiab AT cs.columbia.edu Program Committee Eneko Agirre, University of the Basque Country Edo Airoldi, Princeton University Regina Barzilay, MIT Fernando Diaz, Yahoo!

This participation is free of charge and participants can keep and use the development and evaluation data for free after the evaluations for research and development purposes. INFILE (INformation, Filtrage, Evaluation) is a cross-language adaptive filtering evaluation campaign jointly organized by CEA, Universit? de Lille 3 and ELDA. It is organized as a pilot track in CLEF 2008 and is supported by NIST TREC. INFILE extends the last filtering track of TREC 2002 in the following ways: -INFILE is crosslingual (English, French and Arabic); a corpus of 100,000 comparable news-wire stories from Agence France Presse (AFP) for each language is used for the evaluations. -Evaluation will be performed using an automatic interrogation of test systems with a simulated user feedback. Each system will be able to use the feedback at any time to increase performance. The participant systems will have to provide a Boolean decision for each document according to each filtering profile. A curve of the evolution of efficiency will be computed. Although cross-lingual systems are encouraged, the campaign is also open to monolingual systems. Tasks and languages ------------------- Two tasks and three languages are considered. The first task is Information Filtering on general news and events. For this task, participants will have to classify each transmitted news-wire into zero, one or more different profiles. 30 general profiles will be made available in 3 languages (Arabic, English and French). The second task is Information Filtering on science and technology domain. Participants will have to associate to each news-wire zero, one or more science and technology profiles. A total of 20 profiles will be available in 3 languages (Arabic, English and French). For each task, participants are free to register to monolingual filtering (e.g. information filtering using profiles and news-wires in the same language) or to crosslingual filtering (e.g. information filtering according to profiles in one language and news-wires in another language). Corpus ------ The corpus consists of 300,000 news-wires in Arabic, English and French from the news agency Agence France Presse covering the 2004-2006 period. The news-wires are related to general news and events information and are comparable between Arabic, English and French. Protocol description --------------------- General information about the domain of profiles is given to each participant. 15 days afterwards, 50 profiles are given to participants (30 general profiles and 20 profiles related to science and technology). Profiles are composed of a list of keywords (simple and complex noun phrases) and up to 3 documents illustrating each profile. Then, news-wires are transmitted by the organizer to an automated interface of each participating system. The interface returns a Boolean response for each profile. After reception of this response, and if requested by the participant, the organizer sends a feedback consisting of expected profile assignments for each document submitted. Participants may adapt their system at any time using this feedback.

Please visit http://www.jinr.org and click on "articles". JINR is an electronic journal, with a printed version to be negotiated with a major publisher once we have established a steady presence. The journal will bring to the fore research in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning that uncovers interesting negative results. It is becoming more and more obvious that the research community in general, and those who work NLP and ML in particular, are biased towards publishing successful ideas and experiments. Insofar as both our research areas focus on theories "proven" via empirical methods, we are sure to encounter ideas that fail at the experimental stage for unexpected, and often interesting, reasons. Much can be learned by analysing why some ideas, while intuitive and plausible, do not work. The importance of counter-examples for disproving conjectures is already well known. Negative results may point to interesting and important open problems. Knowing directions that lead to dead-ends in research can help others avoid replicating paths that take them nowhere. This might accelerate progress or even break through walls! We propose this journal as a resource that gives a voice to negative results which stem from intuitive and justifiable ideas, proven wrong through thorough and well-conducted experiments. We also encourage the submission of short papers/communications presenting counter-examples to usually accepted conjectures or to published papers. The journal's scope encompasses all areas of Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. Papers published in JINR will meet the highest quality standards, as measured by the originality and significance of the contribution. They will describe research with theoretical and practical significance. All theories and ideas will have to be clearly stated and justified by a deep literature review.

Luxembourg, 17 April 2008 - During the Open Day at the University of Luxembourg on 12 April 2008 more than 50 interested persons followed the trilingual introduction to the innovative MA study programme "Learning and Development in Multilingual and Multicultural Contexts" (MA multi-LEARN) that accepted students for the first time in 2007. Currently, students from 18 different nations from four continents participate in this programme in educational sciences. Prerequisites are a completed three-year degree (or equivalent) at a university, the functional mastery of two of the three academic languages (English, French, German) as well as the submission of a personalized application file. Successful candidates for the study programme demonstrate motivation and interest in individual as well as organisational learning, development and mediation processes in today's age of diversity, information management and international mobility. The previous degree can be earned in a wide range of fields. Applicants have had backgrounds in educational sciences, computer sciences, applied linguistics, communication sciences, psychology, organisational development, business administration, political sciences, marketing and tourism. The study programme gives students a unique opportunity to develop their own profile as learner, actor and innovator in complex, multi facetted development processes. The four pillars of the study programme combine and contrast case-based analyses with regard to media and socio-cultural shaped learning and communication processes, information brokering and information design, multilingualism and its integration into the educational landscape, multimodality and knowledge transfer. Experts from Luxembourg and abroad hold seminars and thus allow students to gain broad knowledge about current research trends and debates in the discussed fields.

It is an international conference focusing on stringology and related areas. It is organized annually by the Prague Stringology Club, a research group in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague. TOPICS: Stringology is a part of algorithmic research that deals with the processing of text strings. It has existed for at least thirty years and developed into a respected subfield of its own. The last fifteen years have produced an explosion of new results. This progress is due in part to the human genome effort, an area to which string algorithms make important contributions. The topics of the conference include but are not limited to: * algorithms for pattern matching in strings, images and trees * data structures (automata, trees etc.) for pattern matching in strings, images and trees * coding and data compression * bioinformatics * information retrieval * string processing algorithms in databases * searching for regularities * natural language processing INVITED TALK: * The Road Coloring and Cerny Conjecture A. Trakhtman, Bar-Ilan University, Israel SUBMISSION: Authors are cordially invited to submit their full papers (PostScript or PDF format, 10-15 pages, A4 page format) by May 12, 2008. The paper should start with the title, each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, and a one-paragraph summary of the results and ideas. The paper should be submitted via submission server. For details see conference web page http://www.stringology.org/event/2008. For their final version the papers are required to be prepared using our new LaTeX style available at http://www.stringology.org/pscproc2 which has an interface compatible to LNCS style.

Each year proceedings are prepared for the conference. They are published by Czech Technical University in Prague and are also available from the PSC web pages. Selected papers from the later workshops were also published in a special issue of the journal Kybernetika. Selected papers from the 2002-2006 conferences were then published in the Nordic Journal of Computing, Journal of Automata, Languages, and Combinatorics, and International Journal of Foundations in Computer Science. LOCATION: PSC'08 will be held in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague on September 1-3, 2008. The working language is English. As usual, accepted papers will appear in conference proceedings published by the Czech Technical University in Prague and distributed at the conference. After further refereeing, selected papers will then be published in an international journal. The conference venue is located in the historical center of Prague on which all cultural epochs left their mark and it is for centuries a political, social, and cultural center of European significance. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- We apologize if you have received multiple copies of this announcement.

Lytras The mini-conference "Semantic Web and Web 2.0 Collaboration Technologies for the Knowledge Society" will promote a knowledge transfer channel where academics, practitioners, and researchers can discuss, analyze, criticize, synthesize, communicate, elaborate, and simplify the more-than-promising technology of the semantic Web in the context of information systems. This mini-conference aims to establish value-adding knowledge transfer and personal development channels in three distinctive areas: academia, industry, and government. Within the Conference there are two pillars: EDITORS/CHAIRS Ernesto Damiani, University of Milano, Italy, E-mail: damiani AT dti.unimi.it Miltiadis Lytras, University of Patras, Greece, Email: Lytras AT ceid.upatras.gr Ambjorn Naeve, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, E-mail:amb AT nada.kth.se Gottfried Vossen , University of Muenster, Germany, Email: vossen AT helios.uni-muenster.de CALL FOR PAPERS The Human Semantic Web: Personalization, Management of Personal Knowledge and Identity, Systems for the Knowledge Society" Workshop for a Special Issue on an IEEE Transactions Special Issue The Semantic Web vision has evolved in the last years as a blueprint for a knowledge-based framework aimed at crossing the chasm from the current Web of unstructured information resources to a Web equipped with metadata and oriented to delegation of tasks to software agents. Ontologies are the key piece of this framework in that they provide shared semantics to metadata, thus enabling a degree of semantic interoperability. The requirements of large-scale deployment and interoperability of the Semantic Web vision represent a major challenge to data and knowledge engineering, which raises a number of issues and requirements regarding how to represent, create, manage and use both ontologies as shared knowledge representations, but also large volumes of metadata records used to annotate Web resources of a diverse kind. The special issue aims at helping in communicating and disseminating relevant recent research in knowledge and data engineering as applied to the context of Information Systems. The scope of the call includes Knowledge Engineering for organizational applications, Semantic Web approaches to Information Systems and Ontology-Based Information Systems research, as well as the diverse underlying Database and Knowledge Representation aspects. Papers dealing with aspects that touch both aspects are especially sought. This is intended to initiate a dialog between the organizational and more technical views of the field. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Applications of the Human Semantic Web to the Knowledge Society: - Potentially large-scale applications (e.g. to Personal Knowledge Management, Semantic Desktop, Knowledge Portals) - Data Semantics and Web Semantics in peer-to-peer systems, grids, multimedia - Communication, dialogue and argumentation models - Mediation, negotiation and conflict resolution 2. Representing and Managing Semantic Web Data and Services: - Languages, Tools, Methodologies, Rules - Database, IR and AI technologies - Integration, Analysis and Visualization - Robust and scalable logics, knowledge management and reasoning - Machine learning and information extraction - Semantic Interoperability, Workflows, Web Mining - Semantic Web Services and Processes (description, discovery, invocation, composition, choreography, cleaning, assurance, trust, provenance, etc.) - Middleware and services for Personalization and User Modelling - Semantic matching of user needs and web resources 3. Ontologies: - Ontology Alignment (mapping, matching, merging, mediation and reconciliation) - Ontology Learning and Metadata Generation (e.g. HLT and ML approaches) - Ontology Management (creation, evolution, evaluation, etc.) - Ontology Modeling, reuse, extraction, and evolution - Searching and Ranking ontologies 4. Social Semantic Web: - Social networks and processes on the Semantic Web - Semantic web technology for collaboration and cooperation - Representing and reasoning about Trust, Privacy, Security and Intellectual Property Rights - Tools and processes for sense-making, analysis and decision-making - Supporting strategic communication 5. User Interfaces: - Interacting with Semantic Web Data - Semantic Web content creation and annotation - Mashing up Semantic Web data and processes CALL FOR PAPERS Web 2.0 for the Knowledge Society: Social Netowrking, Collaboration, Management of Knowledge in Social Networks EDITORS/CHAIRS Ernesto Damiani, University of Milano, Italy, E-mail: damiani at dti.unimi.it Miltiadis Lytras, University of Patras, Greece, Email: Lytras at ceid.upatras.gr Ambjorn Naeve, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, E-mail:amb at nada.kth..se Gottfried Vossen , University of Muenster, Germany, Email: vossen at helios.uni-muenster.de The key objective of the miniconference is to advancing the knowledge on design variables and conditions for social networks. Knowledge Management and Semantic Web are used as the technological lenses for the specification and analysis of these variables towards a new era of social interactions and human experiences with computers. As semantic technologies prove their value with targeted applications, there are increasing opportunities to consider their application insocial contexts for learning and human development. Knowledge management has been accepted as a critical enabler aiming to increase knowledge-related performance by better use of intellectual assets, in addition to which many governments are forced to increasingly deal with knowledge services that form larger parts of the global economy and society. Thus there are recent examples of applications of semantics for empowering knowledge management or better supporting knowledge services for social networks. The special issue aims at communicating and disseminating recent research and success stories that bring the power of semantics to improve upon traditional knowledge management approaches, or realize emerging requirements of knowledge services for social networks. In the context of knowledge management, social and human issues are of equal if not higher importance than the technical issues that have tended to receive the bulk of attention in the past. Consequently, papers that touch these aspects, or those that extend technical and domain knowledge to social and human issues are especially sought. This is intended to initiate a dialog between the social, psychological and technical views of the field. References: [1]. Lytras M.

While this difficulty is usually evaluated by means of empirical performance measures, such as labeled precision and recall, several theoretical measures have also been proposed in the literature, mostly based on the notion of cross-entropy of a treebank. We show how cross-entropy can be misleading to this end, and propose an alternative theoretical measure, called the expected conditional cross-entropy (ECC). We conjecture that the ECC provides a measure of the informativeness of a treebank, in such a way that more informative treebanks are easier to parse under the chosen model. We test our conjecture by comparing ECC values against standard performance measures across several treebanks for English, French, German and Italian, as well as other treebanks with different degrees of ambiguity and informativeness, obtained by means of artificial transformations of a source treebank. All of our experiments show the effectiveness of the ECC in characterizing parsing difficulty across different treebanks, making it possible treebank comparison.

Many of the models and theories conjectured can only receive their validation from a convergence of arguments developed across disciplines. The book underscores this dimension by including contribution from disciplines that have been wary, traditionally, of extending beyond their borders: linguistics (different branches thereof), philosophy, history and prehistory, archaeology, anthropology, genetics, computer-modelling. The presentation is intended to encompass both the agreements and disjunctures characteristic of the field and insisted on laying open propositions that clearly differ from, possibly even enter into contradiction with one another. While several teams of researchers active in the fields of genetics, linguistics, anthropology and archaeology have come up with new proposals in favor of the "New Synthesis," many competing hypotheses and models continue to be explored in areal linguistics, language contact, wave-like diffusion. On the anthropological scene, criticisms of the monogenetic model have set up new debates and counter-arguments. Approaching the issue of the origin and evolution of human languages within a Darwinian paradigm remains problematic. On the archaeological scene, not all reconstructions are proving compatible with current models for the circulation of techniques, myths and cultures. On the linguistic scene, raising again the issue of the origin / evolution of humankind and of languages in an evolutionary, cognitive, social and cultural perspective or in terms of generational transmission and acquisition, may induce a reconsideration of linguistic theories in search of universals as well as most theories of change and variation. All contributors are world-renowned experts in their domain. Contents INTRODUCTION Serge Cleuziou (CNRS), Jean Paul Demoule (University of Paris 1), Pierre Encrev?

Aujourd'hui, le nouveau d?fi consiste ? ?tendre ces comp?tences ? la construction correcte de phrases en langue cible, afin de produire des textes grammaticalement acceptables. Plusieurs techniques sont en concurrence dans ce domaine : g?n?rateurs de structures de surface ? partir d'une repr?sentation pivot, ainsi que diverses m?thodes d'apprentissage de formes grammaticales et de tournures de phrases ? partir de corpus. Le sujet de la th?se propos?e consiste en l'?tude th?orique et exp?rimentale de la contribution de l'analyse syntaxique de la langue source ? la g?n?ration (all?g?e) de phrases grammaticalement correctesen langue cible. Les travaux de l'?quipe (Chauch? et Prince 2006, Bonnin et Prince 2007, disponibles dans la documentation en ligne du LIRMM, sur HAL), montrent que la construction syntaxique en langue cible, si celle-ci n'est pas tr?s ?loign?e de la langue source (comme les couples fran?ais-anglais, fran?ais-espagnol, fran?ais- allemand), peut ?tre r?alis?e par transformation de la construction syntaxique des unit?s en langue source. Parmi les buts du travail propos? nous pouvons mentionner : d'?tendre, d'am?liorer et de r?ajuster les premi?res transformations propos?es dans les travaux cit?s , ?ventuellement en "apprenant" ces transformations ? partir de donn?es align?es. A partir du prototype existant SYGFtoE de traduction du fran?ais vers l'anglais, construire une grammaire de transformations. Cette grammaire doit ?tre le r?sultat d'un travail th?orique et algorithmique relativement important ? partir des structures apprises en 1. Evaluer ce travail sur un ou plusieurs corpus. Candidature : Les candidats devront faire acte de candidature aupr?s de Christophe Dony, sur le lien suivant : http://www.lirmm.fr/~iss/specdoctinfo/InfoCandidatureAlloc.html avant le 30 mai 2008. Une formation en TAL est vivement conseill?e. Pour tout renseignement, envoyer un mail ? : prince at lirmm.fr PhD Thesis Subject (Autumn 2008) Contribution of Syntactic Analysis to Machine Translation Machine Translation has tremendously progressed in tasks such as lexical transfer (word translation), idiomatic expressions, with the help of statistical lexical techniques, advanced multilingual resources and the availability of aligned corpora. Nowadays, the new challenge is to extend these skills to correct sentences building in the target language, in order to produce grammatically acceptable texts. Several methods are competing in this field: Surface structure generators from a pivot representation as well as numerous grammatical structures and sentence style learning techniques, using corpora. The subject of this PhD thesis consists in studying, theoretically as well as experimentally, the source language syntactic analysis (through parsing) contribution to the generation of grammatically correct sentences in the target language. Some of our team contributions (namely Chauch? and Prince 2006, Bonnin and Prince 2007, available at the LIRMM the on-line documentation HAL ), show that the syntactic generation of the target language, if the latter is not very far from the source (pairs such as English-German, French-English, French-Spanish...), might be obtained through the source language units syntactic structure transformation. The goals of this work include but are not restricted to: Extending, enhancing and refurbishing the existing transformation rules and models suggested in the cited words, possibly through learning these transformations from aligned data. Building a transformation grammar, from the existing French to English translation protoype SYGFtoE. This grammar must result from a theoretical and algorithmical reworking of the structures learnt in step 1. Evaluating this work with corpora. Application: Candidates must apply at Pr. Dony's following URL : http://www.lirmm.fr/~iss/specdoctinfo/InfoCandidatureAlloc.html before May, 30th. A good level in NLP and fluency in French are recommended.

Dans un deuxi?me temps, l'objectif est de produire une cha?ne d'annotation linguistique, bas?e sur le framework UIMA, en s'appuyant sur l'exp?rience acquise par l'?quipe RCLN sur la plate forme d'annotation linguistique Ogmios. Pour permettre l'annotation s?mantique, une r?flexion sur la repr?sentation des donn?es doit ?tre men?e en collaboration avec les membres de l'?quipe RCLN. * Profil L'?quipe RCLN cherche ? recruter un candidat titulaire d'un dipl?me d'ing?nieur, ou dans sa derni?re ann?e d'?tudes, en informatique ou dans un domaine proche. Ce travail n?cessite une capacit? d'abstraction importante, de bonnes comp?tences en conception orient? objet ainsi qu'en Java. * Lieu, Dur?e et R?mun?ration Contrat de 4 ? 6 mois, ? pourvoir d?s que possible. R?mun?ration suivant qualification. Le poste est ? pourvoir au LIPN.

The second objective is to produce an UIMA data-driven NLP pipeline reusing RCLN team experience acquired with the Ogmios text processing platform. To enable the semantic annotation, the annotation format will rely on a formalism unifying the representation of terminological and ontological resources, which will be defined in collaboration with RCLN members. * Profile The RCLN team is willing to hire a candidate holder of an engineering degree, or in his/her last year of studies, in Computer Science or in a close domain. The job requires good skills in object-oriented conception and Java language. * Location, Duration and Salary 4 to 6 months contract, with a start date as soon as possible.

Discours is an international, interdisciplinary e-journal, publishing twice yearly non-thematic issues and occasional special issues. The journal focuses on the following topics: discourse structure, cohesion, co-reference, linearization, indexation, information structure, word order, segmentation markers, integration markers, discourse relations and the cognitive processes involved in discourse comprehension and production. It is intended as a forum for exchanging and comparing data, analyses and opinions for all linguists, psycholinguists and computer linguists working in these areas within the following approaches: - Descriptive approaches: Diachronic - synchronic - monolingual - multilingual -typological - Corpus linguistics: Specialised texts -literary texts - written /oral corpora - NLP: Document navigation - semantic extraction - information retrieval - Experimental approaches: production -comprehension - acquisition(normal and pathological populations). One of the specific features of the journal is to make available online materials or programmes developed for research projects presented in the journal, which may be useful for the research community, such as annotated corpora, coding tables and software tools. Submission information: Papers or 1-2 pages proposals (in French or English), accompanied by 5-8 keywords should be sent to: discours at revues.org. Full instructions can be found on the website.

The duration of the workshop is one day. WORKSHOP SCOPE AND AIM A vital requirement for social robots and virtual agents is the ability to infer the affective and mental states of humans, so as to be able to engage in and behave appropriately during sustained social interactions. Examples include ensuring that the user is interested in maintaining the interaction or providing suitable empathic responses. A fundamental component in these 'mentalizing' and 'empathizing' capabilities is the interpretation of human behavior from sensory input, which must be conducted in a timely manner. This workshop will consider real-time computational techniques for the recognition and interpretation of human verbal and non-verbal behavior, models of 'mentalizing' and 'empathizing' for integrative representation and processing of input data, and implementation to support human-agent and human-robot interaction frameworks. In particular, the workshop seeks to bring together researchers working on the real-time interpretation of user behavior to produce mid- or high-level state descriptors, from basic emotions to more complex appraisals or mental states (e.g. agreement and interest, or blends of several emotions) with those who wish to apply this capacity as part of a 'social perception' module or equivalent in social robot and virtual agent interaction frameworks. WORKSHOP TOPICS - Multimodal affect recognition (facial expressions, body language, speech, physiological, etc.) - Perception-action loops in agents/robots - Cognitive and affective mentalizing / theory of mind - Social appraisal - Visual attention - Theories of emotion - Emotion and cognitive state representation - Context awareness - Cognitive modelling of user - User engagement - Evaluation of affective interaction and user-centred design - Applications: interactive games, empathic interfaces, etc. PROGRAM COMMITTEE Nadia Bianchi-Berthouze (University College London, UK) Antonio Camurri (DIST-University of Genova, Italy) Lola Canamero(University of Hertfordshire, UK) Roddy Cowie (Queen's University Belfast, UK) Kerstin Dautenhahn (University of Hertfordshire, UK) Dirk Heylen (University of Twente, The Netherlands) Stefanos Kollias (ICCS / NTUA, Greece) Peter William McOwan (Queen Mary University of London, UK) Ana Paiva (INESC-ID, Portugal) Maja Pantic (Imperial College, UK / University of Twente, The Netherlands) Catherine Pelachaud (Universit? de Paris 8, France) Marc Schroeder (DFKI, Germany) Asimina Vasalou (Imperial College, UK) WORKSHOP CHAIRS Ginevra Castellano (Queen Mary University of London, UK) Kostas Karpouzis (ICCS / NTUA, Greece) Christopher Peters (Universit? de Paris 8, France / Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Jean-Claude Martin (LIMSI-CNRS, France) SUBMISSIONS Authors are invited to submit papers (2-page abstract) in the areas of interest of the workshop.

NooJ is a freeware, linguistic engineering development environment used to formalize various types of textual phenomena (orthography, lexical and productive morphology, local, structural and transformational syntax) using a large gamut of computational devices (from Finite-State Automata to Augmented Recursive Transition Networks). NooJ includes tools to construct, test, debug, maintain and accumulate large sets linguistic resources, and can apply them to large texts. NooJ is used as a linguistic engineering development platform, a corpus processor, an information extraction system, a terminological extractor, a Machine Translation development tool as well as to teach linguistics and computational linguistics. To learn more about NooJ, download the software, linguistic resources, manual, tutorials and reference papers: www.nooj4nlp.net. This conference will hopefully provide an opportunity for NooJ users, as well as other researchers interested in corpus linguistics, to meet and to exchange their experience of development, research or teaching. It will also be the occasion to present and discover the recent developments of NooJ (v2.0). The preliminary programme of the conference is downloadable from: http://www.nytud.hu/nooj08/programme.html Registration for the conference is online (please, register until May 30, if you are a listener) - either via http://www.nytud.hu/nooj08/accreg.html or directly at: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pQcW8Kfd8XtGROhBYslaOBw For any further information, please, also consult the website or turn to nooj08 [at] nytud [dot] hu ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR Mon May 26 09:19:10 2008 From: thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Mon, 26 May 2008 11:19:10 +0200 Subject: Cursus; European Masters Program in Computational Logic Message-ID: Date: Fri, 23 May 2008 14:43:09 +0200 From: Bertram Fronh??fer Message-ID: <20080523124309.GA564 at janeway.inf.tu-dresden.de> X-url: http://european.computational-logic.org/ *** EUROPEAN MASTERS PROGRAM IN COMPUTATIONAL LOGIC *** european.computational-logic.org/ The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is a distributed MSc program which is offered by the following universities: * Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal * Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy * Technische Universitaet Dresden, Germany * Technische Universitaet Wien, Austria * Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Spain Students select two out of the five partner universities, study for one year at each of the selected universities and will receive a double MSc-degree from the selected universities.

In particular, the focus of instruction will be in deduction systems, knowledge representation and reasoning, artificial intelligence, formal specification and verification, syntax directed semantics, logic and automata theory, logic and computability. This basic knowledge is then applied to areas like logic and natural language processing, logic and the semantic web, bioinformatics, information systems and database technology, software and hardware verification. Students will acquire practical experience and will become familiar in the use of tools within these applications. In addition, students will be prepared for a future PhD, they will come in contact with the international research community and will be integrated into ongoing research projects. They will develop competence in foreign languages and international relationships, thereby improving their social skills. Applicants should have a Bachelor degree (Bologna 1st cycle or equivalent) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Logic, or other relevant disciplines; special cases will be considered. The program has various strength that make it unique among European universities: * Curriculum taught entirely in English: The program is open to the world and prepares the students to move on the international scene. * Possibility of a strongly research-oriented curriculum. * Possibility for project-based routes to obtain the degree and extensive lab facilities. * International student community. * Direct interaction with the local and international industry and research centres, with the possibility of practical and research internships that can lead to future employment. * Excellent scholarship opportunities and student accommodations. The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is one of the few European Masters awarded by the European Union's Erasmus Mundus programme from its first year of existence in 2004. The Erasmus Mundus programme is a co-operation and mobility programme in the field of higher education which promotes the European Union as a centre of excellence in learning around the world. It supports European top-quality Masters Courses and enhances the visibility and attractiveness of European higher education in third-countries. It also provides EU-funded scholarships for third-country nationals participating in these Masters Courses, as well as scholarships for EU-nationals studying in third-countries. The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is sponsored scientifically by the European Network of Excellence on Computational Logic (CoLogNET), the European Association of Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI), the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI), the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AI*IA), the Italian Association for Informatics (AICA, member of the Council of European Professional Informatics Societies), the Italian Association for Logic and its Applications (AILA), and the Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA).

Nous vous remercions de le faire circuler aupres des jeunes chercheurs et doctorants de votre laboratoire. Cordialement, pour le comite d'organisation, Anna Makerova ?cole Doctorale 139 ? Connaissance, langage, mod?lisation ?. Colloque des doctorants et jeunes chercheurs : 8 et 9 octobre 2008 COLDOC 2008, organis? par le Laboratoire MoDyCo UMR 7114, le CNRS et l'Universit? UPX Paris Ouest Nanterre - La D?fense. Appel ? Communication L'?dition 2008 de COLDOC, le colloque des doctorants et jeunes chercheurs en Sciences du Langage de l'Universit? UPX Paris Ouest Nanterre - La D?fense aura pour th?me : ? La question des m?thodes en Sciences du Langage. ? Il semble n?cessaire d'approfondir la r?flexion sur le choix et l'usage des m?thodes de recherche dans le travail scientifique et, plus particuli?rement, dans le travail d'?laboration d'une th?se. La m?thode de recherche a ainsi des r?percussions pratiques sur des ?l?ments fondamentaux comme : 1) la quantit? et la qualit? des r?sultats obtenus ; 2) la nature et l'analyse de ces r?sultats ; 3) les liens des r?sultats avec la th?orie ?labor?e ; 4) le type de donn?es rassembl?es en corpus ; 5) le choix et l'utilisation de l'enqu?te ou de l'entretien. L'analyse d'une m?thode n?cessite la prise en consid?ration aussi bien des concepts de la m?thode en question, que du type de corpus et de la discipline ? laquelle s'applique la recherche en Sciences du Langage. L'analyse d'une m?thode am?ne aussi ? s'interroger sur l'utilisation des Nouvelles Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication (NTIC) dans la constitution et le traitement des corpus oraux lors d'une enqu?te de terrain, ou de donn?es ?crites pour les corpus textuels. La complexit? du choix et de l'application d'une m?thode engage le chercheur ? se poser un certain nombre de questions et ? envisager des pistes de r?flexion. Nous vous invitons ? exposer : - soit la probl?matique pos?e par le choix de votre m?thode - soit les diff?rentes adaptations au cours de la constitution de votre corpus - soit les diff?rentes interf?rences entre m?thode et analyse de vos donn?es - soit la pertinence du recours ? d'autres disciplines scientifiques Nous attendons votre proposition de communication ? l'adresse suivante : coldoc2008 at yahoo.fr (Format Word ou OpenOffice, police 12, marge 2,5, interligne 1,5, justifi?)

Or, on sait que dans les domaines techniques notamment (Droit, m?decine, etc.), le comportement langagier peut varier de mani?re importante et les ressources existantes doivent ?tre adapt?es et compl?t?es. On pr?sente ici une approche originale permettant d'inf?rer des informations de valence ? partir de gros corpus, sans lexique ni sch?ma de valence pr?d?fini. La difficult? principale vient du fait que l'on est confront? ? des formes de surface ambigu?s ? partir desquelles on souhaite inf?rer des connaissances non ambigu?s. Les exp?riences que nous pr?sentons sont bas?es sur un corpus de 10 ans du journal Le Monde, comprenant environ 200 millions de mots. On verra l'apport des informations de nature statistiques dans ce cadre ; on verra aussi comment les exp?riences effectu?es peuvent nous amener ? voir de fa?on diff?rente les notions d'arguments et de modifieurs. Au cours de la discussion, on souhaite ?changer sur ces techniques et voir en quoi elles pourraient compl?ter des travaux de nature diff?rente, en particulier ceux qui visent ? ?laborer des bases lexicales ? la main.

Statistiques 2007 sur la pr?sence des langues latines sur la Toile En 1992, la langue anglaise occupait la quasi-totalit? de la Toile. En 15 ans, la situation a beaucoup ?volu? : la pr?sence de l'anglais a largement diminu? de moiti?, tandis que les langues latines tendent ? s'imposer. Cette ?tude, fruit d'une collaboration entre l'Organisation intergouvernementale Union latine et l'ONG Funredes, b?n?ficie du soutien de la D?l?gation g?n?rale ? la langue fran?aise et aux langues de France. Pr?sentation de l'?tude L'Union latine et Funredes ?tudient depuis 1996 la place des langues latines sur la Toile. Cette septi?me ?dition de l'?tude s'est modernis?e et int?gre quelques nouveaut?s. En plus de l'espagnol, du fran?ais, de l'italien, du portugais, du roumain et de l'allemand, le catalan figure d?sormais parmi les langues trait?es. Elle inclut toujours une compilation de tout ce qui a ?t? mesur? depuis l'origine de l'?tude, tout en se concentrant sur l'?tude comparative de la pr?sence des langues latines par rapport ? l'anglais (et ? l'allemand) dans les sites Web, mais ?galement dans les blogues, espace de mesure nouvellement ajout?. En outre, cette ?tude pr?sente des r?sultats d?taill?s par espace linguistique, ce qui permet de comparer la productivit? de pages Web par pays. M?thodologie Le principe m?thodologique de l'?tude demeure le m?me, ? savoir, la s?lection rigoureuse de termes ?quivalents dans l'ensemble des langues ?tudi?es, la mesure du nombre de pages index?es dans un moteur de recherche correspondant ? chacun de ces termes dans les diff?rentes langues ?tudi?es et finalement la construction et validation statistique des r?sultats. Cependant, la m?thodologie a d? ?tre l?g?rement repens?e afin de s'adapter aux ?volutions des moteurs de recherches et de neutraliser les effets de l'invasion de la publicit? sur Internet qui avaient tendance ? fausser les r?sultats. ?volution des langues sur la Toile entre 1998 et 2007 Ces statistiques montrent une stagnation des langues latines face ? l'anglais. Cette situation est r?v?latrice d'un ph?nom?ne qui concerne l'espace index? par chaque moteur de recherche. En 2003, l'anglais connaissait une croissance dans l'espace index? et cette situation semble se reproduire sur la p?riode 2005-2007. Ce ph?nom?ne ne d?note pas une r?duction de la pr?sence des langues latines dans le cyberespace, mais plut?t une diminution de leur pr?sence dans les espaces index?s par les grands moteurs de recherche, notamment en raison du d?veloppement important de la langue chinoise sur l'Internet. Seul le roumain pr?sente une r?elle augmentation, ce qui est certainement une cons?quence de sa r?cente entr?e dans l'Union europ?enne. Productivit? des internautes par langue En divisant le pourcentage de pages Web par langue par le nombre d'internautes par langue, on obtient un indice de productivit? de pages Web par langue. Ces chiffres montrent bien la faible productivit? des pays latins par rapport aux pays francophones et anglophones ; seul l'italien affiche une capacit? satisfaisante de production de pages Web en langue nationale. ?tude compl?te consultable ? : http://dtil.unilat.org/LI/2007/index_fr.htm Informations : dtil at unilat.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR Thu May 29 15:27:17 2008 From: thierry.hamon at LIPN.UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Thu, 29 May 2008 17:27:17 +0200 Subject: Appel: TAMA/TAAG Message-ID: Date: Mon, 26 May 2008 16:48:26 -0400 From: Message-ID: X-url: http://www.termnet.org/ X-url: http://www.translationbureau.gc.ca/index.php?lang=francais&cont=001 X-url: http://www.uqo.ca/ X-url: http://www.ailia.ca/ X-url: http://www.uqo.ca/tamacanada2008/index.php X-url: http://www.termnet.org/ Version fran?aise TAMA (Terminology in Advanced Management Applications - La terminologie dans les applications avanc?es de gestion, TAAG) est une importante conf?rence internationale ax?e sur les entreprises qui r?unit des acteurs internationaux r?put?s, oeuvrant en terminologie, dans le but de discuter des tendances et des technologies de derni?re heure ?mergeantes dans ce secteur.

While this difficulty is usually evaluated by means of empirical performance measures, such as labeled precision and recall, several theoretical measures have also been proposed in the literature, mostly based on the notion of cross-entropy of a treebank. We show how cross-entropy can be misleading to this end, and propose an alternative theoretical measure, called the expected conditional cross-entropy (ECC). We conjecture that the ECC provides a measure of the informativeness of a treebank, in such a way that more informative treebanks are easier to parse under the chosen model. We test our conjecture by comparing ECC values against standard performance measures across several treebanks for English, French, German and Italian, as well as other treebanks with different degrees of ambiguity and informativeness, obtained by means of artificial transformations of a source treebank. All of our experiments show the effectiveness of the ECC in characterizing parsing difficulty across different treebanks, making it possible treebank comparison.

Pierre Zweigenbaum (Rapporteur), M. Bernard Victorri (Directeur), Mme Caroline Brun (Examinatrice - Tuteur industriel), M. Marcel Cori (Examinateur). Cette th?se a ?t? r?alis?e dans le cadre d'une convention CIFRE, en partenariat avec le laboratoire du LaTICCe (Paris 7) et le Centre de Recherche Xerox ? Grenoble, au sein de l'?quipe /ParSem/, dirig?e par Mme Fr?d?rique Segond. Vous ?tes ?galement convi? au pot qui suivra. Cordialement, Maud Ehrmann. ****** R?sum? de la th?se: Le traitement des entit?s nomm?es fait aujourd'hui figure d'incontournable en Traitement Automatique des Langues. Apparue au milieu des ann?es 1990 ? la faveur des derni?res conf?rences MUC (Message Understanding Conferences), la t?che de reconnaissance et de cat?gorisation des noms de personnes, de lieux, d'organisations, etc. appara?t en effet comme fondamentale pour diverses applications participant de l'analyse de contenu et nombreux sont les travaux se consacrant ? sa mise en oeuvre, obtenant des r?sultats plus qu'honorables. Fort de ce succ?s, le traitement des entit?s nomm?es s'oriente d?sormais vers de nouvelles perspectives avec, entre autres, la d?sambigu?sation et une annotation enrichie de ces unit?s. Ces nouveaux d?fis rendent cependant d'autant plus cruciale la question du statut th?orique des entit?s nomm?es, lequel n'a gu?re ?t? discut? jusqu'? aujourd'hui. Deux axes de recherche ont par cons?quent ?t? investis durant ce travail de th?se: nous avons, d'une part, tent? de proposer une d?finition des entit?s nomm?es et, d'autre part, exp?riment? des m?thodes de d?sambigu?sation. A la suite d'un ?tat des lieux de la t?che de reconnaissance de ces unit?s et d'un expos? des difficult?s pouvant se pr?senter ? l'occasion d'une telle entreprise, il fut avant tout n?cessaire d'examiner, d'un point de vue m?thodologique, comment aborder la question de la d?finition les entit?s nomm?es. La d?marche adopt?e invita ? se tourner du c?t? de la linguistique, avec les noms propres et les descriptions d?finies, puis du c?t? du traitement automatique, ce parcours visant au final ? proposer une d?finition tenant compte tant des aspects du langage que des capacit?s et exigences des syst?mes informatiques. La suite du m?moire rend compte d'un travail davantage exp?rimental, avec l'expos? d'une m?thode d'annotation fine tout d'abord, de r?solution de m?tonymie enfin.
