The conference will be held 11-16 July, 2010 in Uppsala, Sweden. The program chairs have been especially interested in seeing good submissions to the conference in the area, which has been underrepresented in the past. As a result, they have made changes to the reviewing process to allow for reviewing criteria appropriate for different types of papers, as described in the Call for Papers: The above categories include types of papers that have not typically been part of the ACL conference program. Since the appropriate criteria for evaluating papers is not identical for the above categories (and subcategories), ACL 2010 will use a different review form for each category of paper, with the review form tailored to the type of submission. For example, the review criteria for an applications/systems research paper will include whether a substantive evaluation or user experiments are reported and whether a demo will be available at the conference, whereas the review form for a theoretical computational linguistics research paper will include a different set of review criteria. http://acl2010.org/papers.html I urge you to submit your excellent work in the area to the conference. Deadline for both long and short papers is 15 February, 2010. Further information about the ACL 2010 conference can be found at http://acl2010.org/.

Ensuring that language resources be a part of a sustainable and endurable living process represents a multi-faceted challenge that certainly calls for well-planned anti-neglecting actions to be put into action by the different actors participating in the process. Clearing all IPR issues, exploiting best practices at specification and production time are just a few samples of such actions. Sustainability and lifecycle management issues are thus concepts that should be addressed before endeavouring into any serious LR production. When thinking of long-term LRs a number of aspects come to our minds which do not always succeed to be taken into account before development. Some of these aspects are /usability/, /accessibility, interoperability/ and /scalability/, which inevitably call for a long list of neglected points that would need to be taken into account at a very early stage of development. Looking further into the /portability/ and /scalability/ of a language resource, a number of dimensions should be taken into account to ensure that a language resource reaches its adult life in an active and productive way. An aspect that is often neglected is the /accessibility/ and thus /secured reusability/ of a language resource. Institutions such as ELRA (European Language resources Association) and LDC (Linguistic Data Consortium), at a European and American level, respectively, as well as BAS (Bavarian Archive for Speech Signals) and TST-Centrale (Flemish-Dutch Human Language Technology Agency), at a language-specific level, have worked on these aspects for a large number of years. Through their different activities, they have successfully implemented a sharing policy which allows different users to gain access to already existing resources. Other emerging programmes such as CLARIN (Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure) are also looking into these aspects. Nevertheless, many resources still follow development without a long-term accessibility plan into place which makes impossible to gain access once the resource is finished. This accessibility plan should consider issues such as ownership rights, licensing, types of use, aiming for a wide community from the very beginning. This accessibility plan calls for an optimal co-operation between all actors (LR users, financing bodies, owners, developers and organisations) so that issues related to the life of a LR are well established, roles and actors are clearly identified within the cycle and best practices are defined towards the management of the entire LR lifecycle. We are aware, though, that these above-presented ideas are but a take-off for discussion. It is at this point that we would like to invite the community to participate in this workshop and share with us their views on these and other relevant issues of concern. A fruitful discussion could lead us to finding new mechanisms to support perpetuating language resources, and may lead us towards a sustainability model that guarantees an appropriate and well-defined LR storyboard and lifecycle management plan in the future. Among the many issues and topics that may be presented and discussed during this workshop, we would like to already suggest the following: - Which fields require LRs and which are their respective needs? - What needs to be part of a LR storyboard? What points are we missing in its design? - General specifications vs. detailed specifications and design - Annotation frameworks and layers: interoperable at all? - Should creation and provision of LRs be included in higher education curriculae? - How to plan for scalable resources? - Language Resource maintenance and improvement: feasible? - Sharing language resources: how to bear this in mind and implement it? Logistics of the sharing: online vs. offline - Centralised vs. decentralised, and national vs. international management and maintenance of LRs - What happens when users create updated or derived LRs? - Sharing language resources: legal issues concerned - Sharing language resources: pricing issues concerned, commercial vs. non-commercial use - Do LR actors work in a synchronised manner? - What should be the roles of the different actors? - What are the business models and arrangements for IPRs? - Self-supporting vs. subsidised LR organisations - Other general problems faced by the community We solicit papers that address these questions and other related issues relevant to the workshop. *Workshop Programme and Audience Addressed* This full-day workshop aims to address all those involved with language resources at some point of their research/work (LR users, producers, ...) and all those with an interest in the different aspects involved, whether universities, companies or funding agencies of some nature. It aims to be a meeting and discussion point for the so many bottlenecks surrounding the life of a resource and which remain to be addressed with a sustainability plan. The workshop features two invited talks, opening the morning and afternoon sessions, submitted papers, and will conclude with a round table to brainstorm on the issues raised during the presentations and the individual discussions. This round table will be run by a number of experts already experienced in some of the highlighted problems and in open discussion with the workshop participants. In short, this workshop will result in a plan of action towards a sustainability and lifecycle management plan to implement. *Invited Speakers* To be announced on the workshop web site. * * *Organising Committee* Victoria Arranz (Evaluations and Language resources Distribution Agency (ELDA) / European Language resources Association (ELRA), France) Khalid Choukri (ELDA - Evaluations and Language resources Distribution Agency / ELRA - European Language resources Association, France) Christopher Cieri (LDC - Linguistic Data Consortium, USA) Laura van Eerten (Flemish-Dutch HLT Agency, Instituut voor Nederlandse Lexicologie, The Netherlands) Bente Maegaard (CST, University of Copenhagen, Denmark) Stelios Piperidis (ILSP -- Institute for Language and Speech Processing / ELRA - European Language resources Association, France) Remco van Veenendaal (Flemish-Dutch HLT Agency, Instituut voor Nederlandse Lexicologie, The Netherlands) *Programme Committee* Núria Bel (Institut Universitari de Lingüística Aplicada, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain) Nicoletta Calzolari (Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale del CNR (ILC-CNR) -- Italy) Jean Carletta (Human Communication Research Centre, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, UK) Catia Cucchiarini (Nederlandse Taalunie, The Netherlands) Christoph Draxler (Bavarian Archive for Speech Signals, Institute of Phonetics and Speech Processing (BAS), Germany) Maria Gavrilidou (Institute for Language and Speech Processing (ILSP), Greece) Nancy Ide (Department of Computer Science, Vassar College, USA) Steven Krauwer (UiL OTS, Utretch University, The Netherlands) Asunción Moreno (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Spain) Dirk Roorda (Data Archiving and Networked Services, The Netherlands) Ineke Schuurman (Centre for Computational Linguistics, Catholic University Leuven, Belgium) Claudia Soria (Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale del CNR (ILC-CNR) -- Italy) Stephanie M.

As a result, the professionalism and the credibility of these texts are often affected. In spite of the major progress of text editors in terms of error correction, there is still a long way to go before such systems can effectively help non-native authors produce texts which are fluid and natural. With the growth of international communication, e.g. via emails, blogs, web pages, etc., there is an obvious need for efficient tools that help authors to write in a variety of languages. Speakers of languages which are structurally and lexically very different from English often encounter tremendous difficulties in writing documents in this language. In these cases, the use of transfer strategies can be widespread. When looking at the variety of errors produced by authors, whatever their age, profession, target audience, etc., we notice that errors are encountered across the whole range of linguistic areas: morphology, lexicon, syntax and grammar, semantics and stylistics. Attention must be paid to documents which might use specialist language, as this could be the source of "false positives", or abusive correction of a number of segments. Besides what can be observed where major text editors are concerned, error analysis and correction is an area which is becoming very active again. This is probably due to the emergence of widespread lexical resources, and to more advanced language processing techniques. We would like this workshop to be a meeting point for didacticians, second language acquisition practitioners, cognitive linguists, as well as for NLP practitioners, resource developers, users and application providers. Finally, in order to improve communication and inter-disciplinary cooperation, we intend the workshop to include regular talks, discussions and a panel that would be a first step in defining a roadmap in this rapidly growing area. The main topics are (but are not limited to): - Linguistic and conceptual aspects : (1) error analysis, in particular: classification of errors, processing of stylistics errors, (2) mental lexicons, mentalist grammar aspects and error production, semantics and the lexicon, (3) psycholinguistic aspects, such as transfer strategies, overgeneralization, analysis of error production, etc. - Corpus-related problematics: (1) methods for the construction of dedicated corpora and their validation, (2) analysis of types of corpora (learner corpora, corpus of technical productions, emails, etc.), (3) corpus validation techniques. - Corpus annotation: (1) error annotation techniques, (2) definition of guidelines and norms for annotating errors and their characteristics, (3) annotator training. - Correction methods: (1) detection, diagnosis and correction techniques, (2) ambiguity and multiple correction management, (3) collaborative approaches to correction, generation of tutorials, (4) machine learning techniques, (5) error correction and reasoning aspects, dedicated inference forms. - Resources for error correction and learning: (1) lexicons, grammars, ontologies, (2) use of the web as a corpus (3) lexical semantics aspects. - Didactic aspects: (1) production of explanations and argumentation schemes (e.g. for or against a certain correction), ergonomy of explanations, planning, (2) user interactions and question-answering; - Evaluation methods; - Applications: (1) improved correction systems, (2) writing assistants (mono or multilingual), (3) integration and interoperability, scalability.

Alexandra Volanschi , Université Paris Diderot, France David Wible, National Central University, Taiwan Dates and workshop organization, paper submission Dates and submission deadlines will be defined according to LREC guidelines. All accepted papers (long and short) will be published in the workshop proceedings. Tentative schedule: Submission deadline: February 18th Acceptance/rejection: March 8th Final paper due: March 17th Submission When submitting a paper from the START page at: https://www.softconf.com/lrec2010/ECOMS2010/ authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. The goal of this workshop is to enhance cooperation between participants with different backgrounds. Contributors must be open to interactions with the different workshop areas. The program committee will be careful to have a balanced number of participants from the different areas concerned. Although papers will obviously have a dominant theme, it is important that they contain material from at least two disciplines of the workshop (AI, NLP, language resources, didactics, corpus construction, evaluation techniques ...). To encourage an atmosphere appropriate for a workshop, we plan to: - have a 15mn discussion at the end of each session, - have a panel (e.g. defining elements of a road map) and an invited speaker, - plan demos on portable machines. Submission format We welcome short papers (max. 3 pages), describing projects or ongoing research and long papers (max. 6 pages), that relate more established results. Papers must be sent in .pdf format. The format to use for papers and abstracts is the same as for LREC main conference. The title page (no separate title page is needed, we do not require anonymous submissions) should include the following information: - Title - Authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses - Topic(s) of the above list, as appropriate - Abstract (short summary up to 5 lines) Submission page link: XX Contact persons (co-chairs) Patrick Saint-Dizier IRIT-CNRS, IRIT 118 route de Narbonne 31062 Toulouse cedex France.

Elle a consacré de nombreux travaux à la question du figement. Elle a également de nombreuses publications à son actif qui concernent la syntaxe des Langues romanes, en particulier dans le domaine de la grammaticalisation. Tout francophone connaît le sens d'expressions comme tirer le diable par la queue ou cacher son jeu. Mais qui, en France, comprend tomber avec son derrière dans le beurre ('avoir de la chance'), utilisée en Belgique, y aller aux bines ('aller très vite'), courante au Québec, ou encore ça va pas le chalet ! ('c'est insensé !'), qui se dit en Suisse ? A l'inverse, sait-on que, hors de l'Hexagone, des expressions telles que se faire appeler Arthur ou peigner la girafe ne sont guère connues ? De même qu'il y a des belgicismes, des québécismes et des helvétismes, il existe des francismes. L'intérêt des locutions figées n'est plus à démontrer : massivement présentes dans la langue de tous les jours. elles sont une source de difficultés tant pour le traitement automatique du langage que pour l'enseignement des langues vivantes. La démarche adoptée est innovante : les expressions sont décrites non seulement du point de vue de leur sens, l'aspect le plus marquant pour les usagers, mais aussi de leur syntaxe et de leur usage pragmatique. L'étude inclut ainsi une série de phrases figées usuelles à l'oral qui constituent de simples routines conversationnelles, telles que Tu parles !, Il faut le faire ! T'occupe pas du chapeau de la gamine, etc. La variation géographique est systématiquement prise en compte. Les expressions sont classées selon qu'elles sont communes aux quatre variétés de la francophonie considérées (constituant ainsi le véritable stock idiomatique du français commun), spécifiques à une seule d'entre elles, ou partagées par deux ou trois des variétés. Co-auteurs de l'ouvrage, locuteurs natifs d'une des variétés étudiées ici : Jean-René Klein (Université de Louvain-UCL), Jacques Labelle (Université du Québec à Montréal), Christian Leclère (Université de Paris-Est), Annie Meunier (Université de Paris 8) et Corinne Rossari (Université de Fribourg). Nous sommes certains que cet ouvrage intéressera vos lecteurs et vous serions reconnaissants si vous pouviez l'annoncer dans les pages bibliographiques de votre magazine. Si vous désirez en faire paraître une critique plus approfondie, nous sommes prêts à vous adresser un exemplaire de l'ouvrage en service de presse ( adeniel at editionstechnip.com).

ISBN 978-3-0343-0356-9 br Le terme identité s'inscrit dans un réseau lexical complexe et connaît une telle diversité d'emplois qu'il est difficile de le cerner. Il présente par ailleurs des sens techniques différents selon les disciplines, et la recherche de ce concept dans les dictionnaires des Sciences du langage s'avère peu satisfaisante. Le présent ouvrage, issu du colloque « Construction d'identité et processus d'identification » (organisé à l'Université François Rabelais, Tours en novembre 2007) reprend une partie revue et corrigée après relecture anonyme des communications orales de ce colloque. Il tient sa singularité de ce que l'identité y est considérée non comme catégorie de langue ou de discours ou encore comme indice d'une appartenance socioculturelle mais plutôt comme un construit et l'identification comme une construction à part entière. La question se pose alors de savoir de quoi est construite l'identité et comment ? Les contributeurs à ce volume, sous des angles différents, tentent de répondre à ces questions, en analysant les différents processus langagiers qui concourent à sa construction.

This workshop follows similar events held at LREC 00, 02, 04, 06, 08. 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 and SSPNet. Furthermore, the success of recent conferences and workshops dedicated to multimodal communication (ICMI-MLMI, IVA, Gesture, PIT, Nordic Symposium on Multimodal Communication, Embodied Language Processing) and the creation of the Journal of Multimodal User Interfaces also testify to the growing interest in this area, and the general need for data on multimodal behaviours. The 2010 full-day workshop is planned to result in a significant follow-up publication, similar to previous post-workshop publications like the 2008 special issue of the Journal of Language Resources and Evaluation and the 2009 state-of-the-art book published by Springer. AIMS In 2010, we are aiming for a wide cross-section of the field, with contributions on collection efforts, coding, validation and analysis methods, as well as actual tools and applications of multimodal corpora. However, we want to put emphasis on the fact that there have been significant advances in capture technology that make highly accurate data available to the broader research community. Examples are the tracking of face, gaze, hands, body and the recording of articulated full-body motion using motion capture. These data are much more accurate and complete than simple videos that are traditionally used in the field and therefore, will have a lasting impact on multimodality research. However, the richness of the signals and the complexity of the recording process urgently call for an exchange of state-of-the-art information regarding recording and coding practices, new visualization and coding tools, advances in automatic coding and analyzing corpora. TOPICS This LREC 2010 workshop on multimodal corpora will feature a special session on databases of motion capture, trackers, inertial sensors, biometric devices and image processing. Other 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.) and descriptions of existing multimodal resources * Relations between modalities in natural (human) interaction and in human-computer interaction * 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) * Collaborative coding * Metadata descriptions of multimodal corpora * Automatic annotation, based e.g. on motion capture or image processing, and the integration with manual annotations * Corpus-based design of multimodal and multimedia systems, in particular systems that involve human-like modalities either in input (Virtual Reality, motion capture, etc.) and output (virtual characters) * Automated multimodal fusion and/or generation (e.g., coordinated speech, gaze, gesture, facial expressions) * Machine learning applied to multimodal data * Multimodal dialogue modelling IMPORTANT DATES * Deadline for paper submission (complete paper): 12 February 2010 * Notification of acceptance: 10 March * Final version of accepted paper: 26 March * Final program: 7 April * Final proceedings: 14 April * Workshop: 18 May SUBMISSIONS The workshop will consist primarily of paper presentations and discussion/working sessions.

In highly dynamic domains, where interactions are between a large, diverse and evolving community, there is a need for the resolving of these misalignments - through developing and evolving existing ontologies or interpreting unknown ontologies in terms of known ones - to be done automatically and on-the-fly. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested in the problems of automated development, evolution and interpretation of ontologies in the many different domains in which it occurs. We are primarily interested in the exchange of ideas and the stimulation of debate, and the workshop is intended to be a forum for researchers to present ongoing work and ideas and to engage in discussion with other researchers from the field. We are particularly interested in novel ideas and innovative research, which may be in its early stages, and encourage reports on work in progress. Topics of interest include: * Ontology evolution * Ontology matching and alignment * Ontology versioning * Representational or structural change * Formal aspects of ontology dynamics * Formalisation of and reasoning with contexts * Foundational issues * Social and collaborative matching * Background knowledge in matching * Extensions to ontology languages to better support change * Non-monotonic reasoning for ontologies and the Semantic Web * Inconsistency handling in evolving ontologies * Uncertainty in matching * Change propagation in ontologies and metadata * Ontologies for dynamic environments * Dynamic knowledge construction and exploitation * Matching for dynamic applictions (e.g., p2p, agents, web-services) * Case studies, software tools, use cases, applications * Open problems SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We encourage the submission of extended abstracts of 2-5 pages that discuss ongoing research, problem descriptions and overviews of the domain. Accepted papers will be included in the AISB 2010 proceedings unless the authors prefer them not to be (for example, if the work is very similar to work presented elsewhere which they nevertheless feel it would be valuable to present in this context, or if the work is at a stage where discussion would be valuable but publication would be premature). Authors wishing their submissions to be included in the convention proceedings must follow the style guide on the convention website. Submissions will be subject to light reviewing, mainly intended to check fit to workshop. Abstracts should be submitted electronically in pdf format to mchan-at-ed.ac.uk by 15th January 2010. Notification of acceptance will be sent to the submitting author on 15th February 2010. VENUE The workshop will take place at De Montfort University in Leicester, as part of the AISB 2010 Convention (http://www.aisb.org.uk/convention/aisb10/), from March 31st to 1st April, 2010. All workshop participants must be registered for the AISB 2010 Convention. Registration for this workshop is included in the convention registration fee. IMPORTANT DATES Submission: *Friday, 15th January 2010* Notification: Monday, 15th February 2010 Workshop: 31st March - 1st April 2010 AISB10 Convention: 29th March - 1st April 2010 PROGRAMME Presentations: Authors of accepted abstracts will give presentations of their work; exact times to be decided. Posters: If it is not possible to fit in presentations for all accepted authors, some may be asked to present posters instead. There will be a session of 5 minute poster talks. Panel: The technical programme will end with a 90 minute panel discussion on a topic of mutual interest to be decided. Three speakers will speak for 10 minutes each with a brief to stimulate debate during the remaining 60 minutes. Discussion amongst all participants, rather than question-and-answering for the panel, will be strongly encouraged.

We hope to leverage results achieved since that workshop and advance the state of the art. There is currently great interest in the extraction and management of structured information from unstructured text -- a need that continues to grow with ever increasing production of unstructured information. Much of the information extracted focuses on people, and this information must be managed -- and searchable -- when stored in a structured repository. This workshop will address the intersection of the name/record matching, entity resolution, and entity management problems, with a focus on evaluation methodologies suited to such systems and the language resources necessary both to perform these tasks and to evaluate them. Whereas entity extraction systems are usually evaluated using MUC methodology, for example, the case is less clear for these "follow-on" technologies. Even a seemingly simple task such as matching person names in a database context is problematic, and although *name* or *record* matching systems can be evaluated using IR evaluation methodologies (à la CLEF or TREC), there are still interesting methodological issues to resolve before we can refer to a "standard" evaluation methodology for name/record matching. Moreover, it is much less clear how to effectively evaluate *identity* matching, resolution, and management systems, or even what it means to perform an effective identity match. We solicit papers discussing state-of-the-art approaches to name and record matching, identity resolution, and identity management, as well as novel proposals for methodologies to evaluate these technologies. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: · Research in name / record matching · Research in entity disambiguation / resolution / deconfliction · Descriptions of systems or best practices for entity management · Descriptons of systems that incorporate entity resolution as an essential component · Evaluation of record matching, entity disambiguation, or entity management in context · Resources for identity matching, identity resolution, or identity management · Resources for evaluation of these technologies Position papers on the evaluation and integration of identity resolution technologies will also be considered for acceptance. Although we are distributing a call for papers and there will be papers accepted for presentation at the workshop, this workshop will not be a "mini-conference". Rather, this workshop will be an interactive and dynamic event. Presentations will serve to introduce topics for discussion and to shape the day. A significant portion of time will be devoted to interactive exercises, brainstorming, and other "work." The workshop will be organized such that all attendees (including the organizers) leave the workshop more informed---having made progress toward a contextualized and principled evaluation of identity matching, resolution, and management systems---as well as more connected, having begun interactive discussions that will continue after the conference. _Organizing Committee:_ Keith J.

In addition, the increasingly availability of semantically interpreted data in the WEB 3.0 is creating a huge impact in semantic technology. Social media applications such as Delicious, Flikr, You tube, Facebook, provide us with data in the form of tags and interactions among users. We believe that the exploitation of semantic data (emerging both from the Semantic Web and from social media) and language resources will drive the next generation eLearning platforms. The integration of these technologies within eLearning applications should also facilitate access to learning material in developing economies. The workshop aims at bringing together computational linguists, language resources developers, knowledge engineers, social media researchers and researchers involved in technology-enhanced learning as well as developers of eLearning material, ePublishers and eLearning practitioners. It will provide a forum for interaction among members of different research communities, and a means for attendees to increase their knowledge and understanding of the potential of language resources in eLearning. We will especially target eLearning practitioners in the Mediterranean Partner Countries. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1.· Relevance of language resources, semantic data (i.e. ontologies, social media data) and tools in eLearning; · Use of social media applications and social networks in enhancing eLearning; · Methods to link semantic description of learning objects to semantic web data; · Ontology Design in the eLearning domain; 2.· Different methods of employing LRs such as written and spoken corpora, grammars, lexicons, and linguistic databases in eLearning; 3.· Use of multilingual language resources in facilitating knowledge exchange within eLearning applications; 4.· Use of language and speech technology for improvement of language learning applications; · Use of language and speech technology to provide feedback in eLearning applications; · Exploitation of semantic data and language resources for the development of intelligent functionalities in eLearning systems; · Collaborative development of semantic data describing learning objects; · Methods to re-use linked data in the development of learning objects; · eLearning applications enhanced with language technology tools and semantic data in facilitating education access in Mediterranean partner countries. /_ _/ *Submissions* * * Abstracts should be 5 pages long and submitted through the START Conference Manager submission site: https://www.softconf.com/lrec2010/E-learning2010/ Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and should adhere to the style sheet.

Sincerely, CL-A Organizing Committee **************************************************************** Computational Linguistics - Applications (CLA'10) Wisla, Poland, October 18-20, 2010 http://CLA2010.imcsit.org **************************************************************** If you have your account at Facebook you can also join a group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=212819479326 **************************************************************** Workshop Goals ================================ The Computational Linguistics - Applications Workshop was created in 2008 in response to the fast-paced progress in the area. Traditionally, computational linguistics was limited to the scientists specialized in the processing of a natural language by computers. Scientific approaches and practical techniques come from linguistics, computer science, psychology, and mathematics. Nowadays, there is a number of practical applications available. These applications are sometimes developed by smart yet NLP-untrained developers who solve the problems using sophisticated heuristics. Computational Linguistics needs to be applied to make the full use of the Internet. There is a definite need for software that can handle unstructured text to allow search for information on the web. According to the European Commission, Human Language Technologies are one of the key research areas for the upcoming years. The priority aim of the research in this area is to enable users to communicate with the computer in their native language. CLA'10 Workshop is a place where the parties meet to exchange views and ideas with a benefit to all involved. The Workshop will focus on practical outcome of modeling human language use and the applications needed to improve human-machine interaction. Paper Topics ================================ This call is for papers that present research and developments on all aspects of Natural Language Processing used in real-life applications, such as (this list is not exhaustive): * information retrieval * extraction of linguistic knowledge from text corpora * semantic ontologies in computer linguistics * lexical resources * machine translation and translation aids * ambiguity resolution * text classification * corpus-based language modeling * POS-tagging * parsing issues * proofing tools * dialogue systems * machine learning methods applied to language processing * ontology and taxonomy evaluation * opinion mining * question answering * sentiment analysis * speech and audio processing * text summarization * use of NLP techniques in practical applications Paper Presentation ================================ The presentation of the paper has to include a demonstration of an existing tool. The papers should include a section describing the tool (or a prototype), which demonstrates the theory discussed in the paper. The presentation is divided into two parts. First, the author(s) shortly demonstrate their tools to the audience. In the second part, the authors discuss their work with other participants and let the audience test their software. Papers will be evaluated and accepted on the basis of their technical merit, usefulness of the real life application and relevance to the workshop scope by the CLA'10 Program Committee. The paper will be assessed by academics as well as industry representatives in order to assure fair and balanced assessment. All accepted and presented papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings and included in the IEEE Xplore(r) database. The best demonstrations will be selected to be shown to the general audience of the conference at a plenary session. Papers Submission ================================ * Authors should submit draft papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord file). * The total length of a paper should not exceed 8 pages (IEEE style). IEEE style templates will be available ASAP. * Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the workshop. * Accepted and Presented paper will be published in the Conference Proceedings and included in the IEEE Xplore(r) database. * Organizers reserve right to move accepted papers between IMCSIT events. Important dates ================================ 31.05.2010 (May 31, 2010) - Full paper submission 12.07.2010 (July 12, 2010) - Notification of acceptance 23.08.2010 (August 23, 2010) - Camera-ready version of the accepted paper CLA'09 post conference report ================================ It seems that the motto of our workshop "Show the system in action" has been accepted by the NLP community. This year 33 papers were submitted (90% increase from last year); 19 of them were accepted by the programming committee. 15 papers were presented during the workshop - our guests from Iran or Tunisia seemingly found Poland too far away from their homelands. Still, 11 countries were represented in the workshop, mainly from the Western Europe. The workshop was composed of oral presentations and the demo-poster session. Presentations, given on Tuesday (October, 12th), were divided into three sessions: 1. Information Retrieval, 2. Use of NLP Tools In practical application, 3. Parsing issues; Linguistic resources. In the evening the audience voted for the best presentations of each of the session as well as the best overall performance. The voters used their mobile phones and the result were known immediately - to the chairman. The winners were presented officially at the Gala Ceremony (In the Oscar Ceremony fashion). The Information Retrieval session was one by Igor Leturia from Spain - or rather his virtual agent who could fluently answer any question posed in the Basque language. The session on Practical Applications was won by Eric Wehrli from Switzerland and his micro-scanner that read German texts and translated them into English. Parsing issues were best presented by charming Katarzyna Moroz from Poznan (Poland) who convinced the audience that her new parsing algorithm using pregroup grammars will soon outperform existing ones. And finally, after the three nominees had been presented, the Oscar went to...Spain. The demo-poster session took place on Wednesday morning. It looked as if the participants had not celebrated too long into the Tuesday night - at 9 a.m. almost all of them were ready to put their applications under the pressure of real tests. Well, the winner did not understand the chairman's Basque too well... she obviously preferred her master, Igor. **************************************************************** CLA - where science meets reality ! **************************************************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 UNIV-PARIS13.FR Fri Jan 8 21:34:28 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2010 22:34:28 +0100 Subject: Appel: IC 2010 Message-ID: Date: Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:43:11 +0100 From: Sylvie Despres Message-ID: <4B44BD9F.50701 at univ-paris13.fr> X-url: http://www.ic2010.mines-ales.fr/ Merci de diffuser largement.

Cette complexité est liée aux multiples points de vue, représentations, dimensions et aux approches multiples d'analyse et d'interprétation. Pour relever le défi du traitement de la complexité dans de nombreux domaines scientifiques, des interactions entre diverses disciplines sont indispensables. Le document a été un objet d'étude au cour des travaux de nombreuses communautés scientifiques (littéraires, SHS, informatiques et technologiques) et l'intensification de l'usage du numérique ne fait que renforcer ce phénomène. La recherche d'information automatisée par exemple a dès les années 70 résulté de travaux combinant les sciences de l'information, les mathématiques et l'informatique. Dans les années 80, les coopérations entre linguistes et informaticiens ont apporté des éléments fondamentaux de traitements plus fins ; plus récemment des interactions fructueuses entre ingénierie des connaissances et recherche d'information ont conduit à la recherche sémantique, celles entre mathématiciens, informaticiens et sociologues permettent des avancées dans le domaine des réseaux sociaux. De nombreux autres domaines scientifiques nécessitent une approche complémentaire issue de diverses disciplines. Nous pouvons par exemple citer l'analyse de discours, l'apprentissage en ligne dans lesquels sciences humaines, ergonomie, mathématique, informatique . ont chacune leur contribution. Objectif: --------- La pluridisciplinarité, pourtant essentielle, n'est pas toujours clairement exhibée dans les publications car le plus souvent les revues/conférences sont organisées par communautés scientifiques ; les résultats sont ainsi présentés selon un des points de vue disciplinaire. Dans ce numéro spécial nous souhaitons offrir un espace dans lequel les travaux sont présentés en mettant justement en avant la démarche pluridisciplinaire qui a été suivie. Ainsi, notre objectif dans ce numéro spécial sera de faire le point sur l'avancée des recherches dans les domaines ou les applications pour lesquels une forte interaction de plusieurs disciplines est nécessaire. Les articles proposés porteront sur les thèmes (liste non exhaustive) : Analyse de discours, Analyse d'opinion, Applications médicales, Apprentissage en ligne, réseaux sociaux, Veille scientifique. Les soumissions devront faire état de collaborations entre diverses disciplines (ergonomie, informatique, linguistique, mathématique, psychologie, science de l'information, sociologie, etc.) Comité de rédaction du numéro: -------------------------------- - Bernard Dousset, IRIT, Université de Toulouse - Véronique Eglin, LIRIS, INSA, Lyon - Bénédicte Le Grand, LIP6, Paris - Adeline Nazarenko, LIPN, Université Paris-Nord - Fabrice Papy, Université Paris VIII, - Violène Prince, LIRMM, Montpellier - Cécile RosinLIG INRIA-UPMF, Grenoble - Ioan Roxin, Université de Franche-Comté - Jef Wijsen , Université de Mons , Belgique, L'éditeur et la revue : http://www.revuesonline.com ou www.dn.revuesonline.com Recommandations aux auteurs · Les déclarations d'intentions de soumettre un article sont à envoyer à josiane.mothe at irit.fr (titre, auteurs, résumé) · Les soumissions sont à envoyer à josiane.mothe at irit.fr et devront respecter la feuille de style de la revue disponible sur le serveur http://www.revuesonline.com (ou sur demande à : dn at lavoisier.fr) · Les articles ne devront pas dépasser les 20-30 pages.

Elle est le fruit d'une réflexion collective à laquelle ont participé de nombreux intervenants publics et privés, dont l'Union latine, mais également la Délégation générale à la langue française et aux langues de France (DGLFLF), l'Agence française de normalisation (AFNOR), l'Association Diversum, des laboratoires du Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), l'Association française pour le nommage Internet en coopération (AFNIC), l'Association nationale de promotion et de défense du logiciel libre (APRIL), ainsi que Wikimédia, Google et Microsoft, entre autres. Cette recommandation, qui considère la langue comme un élément constitutif majeur d'une politique de développement durable, vise à lui donner toute sa place dans une stratégie de développement de l'Internet respectueuse des cultures, des usages et des usagers en France. Passant en revue tant les aspects de contenu que de « contenant », elle émet un grand nombre de considérations et propositions destinées aux acteurs aussi bien publics que privés, dans le but d'encourager non seulement une meilleure qualité de la langue française mais aussi un développement équitable du multilinguisme dans la société de l'information. Cette recommandation, dont la réflexion prend la société française comme point de départ n'est néanmoins pas dépourvue d'intérêt pour d'autres sociétés confrontées à des défis similaires.

Semantic Web development will therefore be increasingly concerned with knowledge access to and generation in/from multiple languages, i.e., in: - multilingual querying of knowledge repositories and linked data - multilingual knowledge and result presentation in semantic search - multilingual verbalization of ontology structure in ontology engineering - ontology-based information extraction from multilingual text and semi-structured data - ontology learning from multilingual text and semi-structured data Multilinguality is therefore an emerging challenge to Semantic Web development and to its global acceptance – across language communities around the world. The workshop will therefore be concerned with discussion of new infrastructures, architectures, algorithms etc. that will enable easy adaptation of Semantic Web applications to multiple languages, addressing issues in representation, extraction, integration, presentation etc. Expected Topics - models for the integration of linguistic information with ontologies - architectures and infrastructure for a truly multilingual Semantic Web - models for multilinguality in knowledge representation, in particular OWL and RDF(S) - localization of ontologies to multiple languages, incl. label translation, multilingual terms - adaptation of (multilingual) lexicons to ontologies - automatic integration of (multilingual) lexicons with ontologies - multilingual & cross-lingual ontology-based information extraction & ontology population - multilingual aspects of semantic search & querying of knowledge repositories - multilinguality and linked data (generation, querying, visualization & presentation) - multilingual aspects of ontology verbalization - ontology learning across languages Important Dates February 21st – submission deadline March 19th – notification April 1st – camera-ready deadline April 27th – workshop Organizing Committee Paul Buitelaar - DERI, National University of Ireland, Galway Philipp Cimiano - Bielefeld University, Germany Elena Montiel-Ponsoda - Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, España Program Committee Guadalupe Aguado de Cea, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid - Artificial Intelligence Department, Spain Nathalie Aussenac-Gilles, IRIT, Toulouse - Knowledge Engineering, Cognition and Cooperation, France Timothy Baldwin, Univ. of Melbourne - Language Technology Group, Australia Roberto Basili, Universita Tor Vergata, Rome - Artificial Intelligence group, Italy Chris Bizer, Freie Universität Berlin - Web-based Systems Group, Germany Francis Bond, NICT - Language Infrastructure Group, Japan Christopher Brewster, Aston University - Operations and Information Management Group, UK Dan Brickley, Vrije Universiteit & FOAF project, the Netherlands Nicoletta Calzolari, ILC-CNR - Computational Linguistics Institute, Italy Manuel Tomas Carrasco Benitez, European Commission, Luxembourg Key-Sun Choi, KAIST - Semantic Web Research Center, South-Korea Thierry Declerck, DFKI - Language Technology Lab, Germany Aldo Gangemi, ISTC-CNR - Semantic Technology Laboratory, Italy Asuncion Gómez Pérez, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid - Artificial Intelligence Department, Spain Gregory Grefenstette, Exalead, France Siegfried Handschuh, DERI, Nat.

Dans une seconde partie, les modèles d'analyse sémantique seront introduits, confrontés et critiqués. Le traitement de la polysémie par ces modèles sera notamment illustré par des études qui ont été consacrées aux prépositions on, sur et over. On montrera que ces analyses tendent à laisser proliférer la polysémie et laissent certaines questions en suspens. Plutôt que de fournir un nouveau modèle d'analyse, il s'agira dans cet exposé de s'interroger sur les problèmes théoriques qu'enveloppent les analyses sémantiques menées dans le cadre de la linguistique cognitive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue Jan 12 19:44:12 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2010 20:44:12 +0100 Subject: Appel: Traitement automatique des langues naturelles, analyses et applications Message-ID: Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:11:12 -0500 From: Adel Jebali Message-ID: 2e APPEL DE COMMUNICATIONS Colloque : traitement automatique des langues naturelles, analyses et applications Congrès annuel de l'ACFAS Montréal, Canada Le 10 mai 2010 DATES IMPORTANTES Date limite de soumission des résumés : 31 janvier 2010 Notification aux auteur(e)s : 7 février 2010 Inscription au congrès annuel de l'ACFAS http://www.acfas.net/membre/compte.php : avant le 7 février 2010 (pour figurer dans le programme, votre courriel d’inscription doit être le même que celui utilisé lors de la soumission). Transmission du programme final à l’ACFAS : 15 février 2010 Colloque : 10 mai 2010 Soumission de l'article pour publication dans les actes : à déterminer. DURÉE Les communications seront d'une durée de 20 minutes, suivies d'une période de 10 minutes pour les questions. THÈMES L'invention du Web version 2.0 et l'explosion des médias de communication facilitent plus que jamais l'accès à l'information et la démocratisation de ce dernier. Cependant, cette véritable révolution apporte son lot de problèmes dans des domaines comme celui du repérage de l'information et du forage de données (data mining), pour ne citer que ces derniers. Dans ce contexte, deux stratégies de recherche semblent les plus aptes à relever ces nouveaux défis : le multilinguisme et la pluridisciplinarité. Le multilinguisme s'impose du fait que toutes les langues participent désormais au Web dans un sens large et non seulement l'anglais comme c'était le cas au début de cette révolution informationnelle. Il s'impose également pour des raisons d'économie d'effort et de robustesse. Ainsi, les applications développées en prenant en compte un plus grand nombre de langues à la fois s'avèrent plus puissantes que celles qui n'ont à l'esprit qu'une seule langue. De plus, toute recherche portant sur les phénomènes langagiers ne peut se passer d'une étude comparative, une méthode léguée par la linguistique comparative du XIXe siècle et fortement privilégiée par les courants linguistiques contemporains dans une perspective de grammaire universelle. La pluridisciplinarité s'impose du fait que le domaine d'étude nécessite la maîtrise d'outils, de méthodes et de notions provenant de plusieurs disciplines scientifiques. Parmi ces dernières, citons la linguistique (théorique et appliquée), les sciences cognitives, l'intelligence artificielle et l'informatique sans oublier la logique, les statistiques, la psychologie et la philosophie. Les conférences peuvent porter sur tous les thèmes du traitement automatique des langues et concerner une langue ou plus. Les thèmes pouvant être traités s'inscrivent dans les domaines suivants, mais ne s'y limitent pas : Fondements - Phonétique et phonologie - Morphologie - Syntaxe - Sémantique - Lexique - lexicométrie - classification etc. Applications - Enseignement assisté par ordinateur - Extraction de l'information sur le Web - Traduction automatique - Analyse et génération de textes - Résumé automatique - Dialogue personne-machine etc. MODALITÉS - Les résumés ne doivent pas dépasser 1500 caractères (incluant les espaces).

On the other hand, the area of foundations of multi-agent systems is inducing new developments in logics of interaction and information dynamics, with a recent trend towards comparison and integration. Analyzing the impact of this trend on communication and dialogue modeling is timely. This workshop aims at discussing formal theories and logics of information dynamics and interaction and their applications to dialogue and communication modeling. It is intended to bring together logicians, linguists and computer scientists in order to provide a better understanding of the potentialities and limitations of formal methods for the analysis of dialogue and communication. Its scope includes not only the technical aspects of logics, but also multidisciplinary aspects from linguistics, philosophy of language, philosophy of social reality, social sciences (social psychology, economics). The following are some examples of formal theories and logics that are relevant to the workshop (no order): speech act theory, argumentation theory, game theory, public announcement logic, dynamic epistemic logic (DEL), logics of agency and power (e.g. STIT, ATL, Coalition Logic), theories of persuasion, theories of commitment, dynamic semantics, semantic approaches to interrogative clauses, rhetorical approaches to dialogue (e.g., Segmented Discourse Representation Theory). The focus of the workshop will be on recent developments, especially those that combine several approaches (e.g. dynamic epistemic logic and speech act theory, dynamic epistemic logic and segmented discourse representation theory, public announcement logic and commitment theories, STIT and dynamic epistemic logic, Coalition Logic and public announcement logic...) to deal with complex dialogue and communication phenomena. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Invited speakers: Patrick Blackburn, LORIA, INRIA Nancy Jeroen Groenendijk, ILLC, University of Amsterdam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop Organizers: Emiliano Lorini ("lorini at irit.fr") and Laure Vieu ("vieu at irit.fr"), IRIT-CNRS, Toulouse ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop Programme Committee: Nicholas Asher, IRIT-CNRS, Toulouse Guillaume Aucher, Univ. of Luxembourg Alexandru Baltag, Oxford Univ.

Pour l'ATALA l'année écoulée fut glorieuse grâce à la commémoration du cinquantenaire de l'association. Je tiens à remercier de nouveau toutes celles et ceux qui se sont impliqués dans cet événement, vous toutes et tous qui y avez participé. Un remerciement très spécial à Laurence Danlos qui a présidé l'organisation de cette journée d'une main de reine! De l'avis de tous ce fut une grande réussite dont on se souviendra bien longtemps. Rendez-vous est donc pris pour dans 50 ans.Il faut, c´est certain, s´y prendre à l'avance pour pouvoir faire mieux ! Je peux d'ores et déjà vous annoncer qu'en 2010 l'ATALA, entre autres choses, étendra sa mission à la labellisation d'événements scientifiques organisés autour du traitement des langues, à l'attribution d'un prix de la meilleure thèse en TAL et que TALN 2010 sera co-organisé à Montréal par l'Université et le Polytechnique. N'oubliez pas de soumettre avant le 22 février. Bien d'autres choses encore pour cette année 2010 que je vous invite à découvrir au fil des mois sur le site de l'association. Je ne peux que répéter à quel point c´est l'implication de chacun et chacune d'entre vous qui rend tout cela possible et qui fait que de nombreux pays européens nous envient un tel dynamisme. J´en profite pour remercier les anciens membres du conseil d'administration et en particulier Thomas Lebarbé pour avoir accepté d´être trésorier pendant plusieurs années. Georges Antoniadis, qui lui succède, nous l'a confirmé, l'association va bien et les finances sont saines :-) Je souhaite la bienvenue aux nouveaux élus qui ont déjà démontré leur ferveur. Enfin, merci à tout le monde, pour m'avoir renouvelé votre confiance. Cela me touche beaucoup. J'en arrive maintenant, vous vous y attendiez, à la partie plus intéressée de mon message. Comme cette année Atalienne sera placée sous le signe du Québec je m'en référerai à Jean-François Somain qui dit "L'argent n'a pas d'importance, mais le manque d'argent, oui". Une association vit principalement de la cotisation de ses membres et plus on est membres plus on rit, c'est bien connu. Je vous invite donc, pour celles et ceux qui sont déjà adhérents, à ne pas oublier de renouveler dès aujourd'hui votre cotisation (http://www.atala.org/adhesion), pour celles et ceux qui ne sont pas encore membres à rejoindre promptement l'ATALA. Encore une fois, je vous souhaite une très belle année 2010 et longue vie à l'ATALA ! Bien chaleureusement Frederique ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 16 11:51:37 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2010 12:51:37 +0100 Subject: Job: Stages de M1 et M2, systemes de question-reponse, LIMSI-CNRS, Orsay Message-ID: Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2010 08:38:23 +0100 From: Xavier Tannier Message-ID: <4B4EC9EF.3010201 at limsi.fr> X-url: http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/fr/Stages/sujet_M2R_contexte_analyse.html X-url: http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/fr/Stages/sujet_M2R_contexte_questions_complexes.html X-url: http://sites.google.com/site/delphinebernhard/proposition-de-stage-generation-questions X-url: http://www.ensiie.fr/~bg/stage_fouilleDeTexte.html X-url: http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/fr/Stages/sujet_M1_confiance_question_reponse.html X-url: http://www.limsi.fr/Scientifique/iles/propositions L'équipe ILES du LIMSI propose cette année *quatre stages de M2 (master recherche ou master professionnel)* dans le domaine des systèmes de questions-réponses, ainsi qu'*un stage de M1*. Un résumé de ces stages est présenté ci-dessous, une description plus complète est disponible aux adresses suivantes : Stages de M2 : http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/fr/Stages/sujet_M2R_contexte_analyse.html http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/fr/Stages/sujet_M2R_contexte_questions_complexes.html http://sites.google.com/site/delphinebernhard/proposition-de-stage-generation-questions http://www.ensiie.fr/~bg/stage_fouilleDeTexte.html Stage de M1 : http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/fr/Stages/sujet_M1_confiance_question_reponse.html Par ailleurs, d'autres stages dans d'autres thèmes sont proposés par l'équipe : http://www.limsi.fr/Scientifique/iles/propositions ___________ *Stage de M2 : Sélection de passages pour répondre à des questions complexes * FIDJI est un système de questions-réponses pour le français et l'anglais qui traite des questions factuelles et complexes, en combinant des informations d'ordre syntaxique et des techniques "classiques" du domaine, telles que la reconnaissance des entités nommées et la pondération des termes de la question. Pour mieux répondre aux questions complexes ("pourquoi", "comment", opinion), une approche serait d'étudier les passages sélectionnés par le système à partir des mots-clés de la question et d'identifier s'il s'agit de textes susceptibles d'apporter la réponse à une question "pourquoi" ou "comment". Par exemple, pour la question complexe "Pourquoi le ciel est-il bleu ?", le moteur de recherche renvoie les passages suivants : "le bleu du ciel est le résultat de la diffusion de la lumière solaire par les composants de l'atmosphère." "et si le ciel est bleu, c'est à cause de la diffusion de Rayleigh qui est la plus importante dans le bleu (ondes électromagnétiques). " http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/fr/Stages/sujet_M2R_contexte_questions_complexes.html Contacts : Véronique Moriceau (moriceau at limsi.fr) Xavier Tannier (xtannier at limsi.fr) ___________ *Stage de M2 : Définition d'un contexte d'analyse des documents pour les systèmes de questions-réponses * Dans le domaine de la recherche d'information précise (question-réponse), la recherche d'un passage contenant potentiellement la bonne réponse est une étape cruciale du processus. La plupart des systèmes actuels utilisent une taille fixe de passages. Le but du stage est d'améliorer la sélection de passages contenant la réponse à des questions. Le stage a une durée de 4 mois prolongeable à 6. http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/fr/Stages/sujet_M2R_contexte_analyse.html Contacts : Véronique Moriceau (moriceau at limsi.fr) Xavier Tannier (xtannier at limsi.fr) ___________ *Stage de M2 : Génération automatique de questions à partir de paragraphes * *La génération de questions consiste à produire automatiquement des questions à partir d'un texte donné pour diverses applications : création de tests et de questionnaires à choix multiples, systèmes de dialogue homme-machine ou de questions-réponses interactifs. Par exemple, il est possible de générer plusieurs questions à partir du paragraphe suivant : Barack Obama, né le 4 août 1961 à Honolulu, dans l'État d'Hawaï, est le 44e et actuel président des États-Unis d'Amérique. Le 9 octobre 2009, il reçoit le prix Nobel de la paix. 1. Qui est l'actuel président des États-Unis d'Amérique ? 2. Où est né Barack Obama ? 3. Quelle est la date de naissance de Barack Obama ? 4. Quel président des États-Unis d'Amérique a obtenu le prix Nobel de la paix en 2009 ? L'objectif du stage sera de développer un système capable de générer automatiquement des questions en anglais à partir d'un paragraphe de texte donné. La génération sera réalisée à l'aide de règles de transformation de phrases déclaratives en phrases interrogatives se basant sur une analyse syntaxique préalable du texte considéré. On s'attachera également à la génération de questions à partir d'éléments d'information distribués dans plusieurs phrases. http://sites.google.com/site/delphinebernhard/proposition-de-stage-generation-questions Contacts : Delphine Bernhard (delphine.bernhard at limsi.fr) Véronique Moriceau (moriceau at limsi.fr) Xavier Tannier (xtannier at limsi.fr) ___________ *Stage de M2 : Mise en évidence et utilisation de relations entre entités nommées pour la fouille de texte et la recherche d'informations précises * Dans le cadre de recherche d'informations sur les participants à des événements (avec qui ces personnes sont en relation, où se trouvent-elles, quel type de participation ont-elles eu à d'autres événements connexes ou de même nature), se pose le problème de la reconnaissance de ce type d'information dans des textes, de leur représentation, de la manière de les interroger et de la manière de présenter les réponses. Ce stage portera plus particulièrement sur la définition du mode d'interrogation d'une base de textes à partir d'une question en langue naturelle. Il s'agira de déterminer automatiquement à quel type de demande on a affaire, en s'appuyant sur des technologies développées dans le cadre de Question-réponse, et de modéliser l'interrogation de textes pour y retrouver des relations. Ce dernier aspect rejoint la problématique plus générale des moteur de recherche verticaux (dédiés à un domaine, à certains types de requêtes et pouvant travailler sur des informations structurées ou semi-structurées). http://www.ensiie.fr/~bg/stage_fouilleDeTexte.html Contact : Brigitte Grau (bg at limsi.fr) ___________ *Stage de M1 : Estimation de la confiance accordée à une réponse dans un système de question-réponse* Les systèmes de question-réponse ont pour but d'apporter une réponse précise à une question posée en langage naturel. Par exemple, à la question "/À quelle date est mort Henri IV ?/", la réponse retournée doit être "/1610/" (et non pas des pages contenant la réponse, comme c'est le cas des moteurs de recherche classiques). Les systèmes créés dans ce cadre ont une architecture qui comprend toujours, entre autres, un module d'analyse de la question posée et un module d'extraction de la réponse finale. FIDJI est un système de questions-réponses pour le français et l'anglais, combinant des informations d'ordre syntaxique et des techniques "classiques" du domaine, telles que la reconnaissance des entités nommées et la pondération des termes de la question. Dans le système FIDJI, les réponses extraites par le système sont ordonnées selon la combinaison d'un certain nombre de critères (forme syntaxique de la phrase réponse, vérification du type de la réponse, fréquence de la réponse dans les textes, etc.), et les 3 meilleures réponses sont retournées à l'utilisateur. Le but est de définir à partir de cet ensemble de critères un score de confiance entre 0 et 1 qui permette à l'utilisateur de savoir à quel point il peut se fier à la réponse fournie (simulation d'une probabilité de pertinence de la réponse). http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/fr/Stages/sujet_M1_confiance_question_reponse.html Contacts : Véronique Moriceau (moriceau at limsi.fr) Xavier Tannier (xtannier at limsi.fr) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 16 11:33:02 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2010 12:33:02 +0100 Subject: Job: Post-doc position at CENTAL, University of Louvain, Belgium Message-ID: Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 00:37:17 +0100 From: Cédrick Fairon Message-Id: <7B70844D-1585-4FC5-A6A7-3767D78E0FC0 at uclouvain.be> X-url: http://www.uclouvain.be X-url: http://www.uclouvain.be/cental X-url: http://cental.fltr.ucl.ac.be X-url: http://glossa.fltr.ucl.ac.be The Centre for Natutal Language Processing at UCLouvain (CENTAL) is recruiting 1 post-doc (6 months, with possible extension) Keywords: Information Extraction, Semantic parsing, Ontologies, English, Chinese Job Description: CENTAL and the Belgium-based company Bitong are engaged in a research project aiming at developing new methodologies for the parsing of information acquired from Web pages written in English and Chinese.

L'internet reflète maintenant mieux la diversité des langues nationales et régionales. Logiquement, les applications informatiques développées – que ce soit en traduction, en recherche d'information interlangue, en aide à la communication écrite ou en apprentissage des langues... – doivent s'adapter à cette réalité en prenant en compte des langues de plus en plus diverses avec parfois une grande distance linguistique entre elles. L'objectif de ce numéro spécial de la revue TAL (http://www.atala.org/-Revue-TAL) est de proposer une vue d'ensemble des recherches actuelles en multilinguisme pour le TAL. Les propositions de communications pourront notamment porter sur les thèmes suivants : - les techniques de fouille et d’alignement de corpus multilingues ; o l’alignement de segments parallèles à partir de corpus comparables ou parallèles ; o l’extraction de lexiques multilingues à partir de corpus multilingues. - la construction de ressources multilingues et leur exploitation ; - l'utilisation de ressources monolingues dans des systèmes multilingues ; - la généricité des approches en analyse ou en traduction automatique ; - la constitution et l’exploitation de typologies des langues. Et les domaines d’applications pourront notamment concerner : - la traduction automatique ou semi-automatique ; - la recherche d’information inter-langue ; - l'analyse et la génération multilingue ; - la catégorisation multilingue ; - l’aide à la communication écrite ou à l’apprentissage des langues. De manière transversale aux thèmes suggérés, les articles proposant une réflexion sur la généralisation de pratiques acquises pour un couple donné de langues (comme l’anglais et le français) lors de la transposition des méthodes à des langues plus éloignées seront appréciés. MODALITÉS PRATIQUES : Les articles seront écrits en français ou en anglais. Les soumissions en anglais ne seront acceptées que pour les auteurs non francophones. Les articles (maximum 25 pages au format PDF) seront envoyés aux deux adresses suivantes : emmanuel.morin at univ-nantes.fr et holger.schwenk at lium.univ-lemans.fr. Les feuilles de style sont disponibles en ligne sur le site de la revue à l’adresse suivante http://atala.org/Instructions-aux-auteurs-feuilles.

While the English language largely dominated a decade ago, the representation of Chinese, Hindi or Spanish is tending to reveal the real importance of these languages. Today, the Internet better reflects the diversity of national and regional languages. Logically, the computer applications that are developed – either in machine translation, in cross-language information retrieval, in computer-assisted writing or language learning... – must illustrate this reality by taking account of more and more diverse languages, sometimes with great linguistic differences between them. This special issue of the TAL journal (http://www.atala.org/-Revue-TAL) aims at giving an overall picture of NLP research on multilingualism. The following topics (this is a non-exhaustive list) will be considered: - Mining and alignment from multilingual corpora ; o Extraction of parallel segments from comparable corpora; o Extraction of multilingual lexicon from multilingual corpora. - Building and using multilingual resources; - Using monolingual resources in multilingual systems; - Generalization of the approaches in analysis or in machine translation; - Building and using language typologies. Fields of application could include: - Automatic or semi-automatic translation methods; - Cross-language information retrieval; - Multilingual analysis and generation; - Multilingual document categorization; - Computer-assisted writing or language learning. In addition to the suggested topics, the papers that reflect on the generalization of practices acquired for a given pair of languages (such as English and French) when transposing methods to unrelated languages will be appreciated. GUEST EDITORS: Emmanuel Morin, LINA, Université de Nantes, France Holger Schwenk, LIUM, Université du Maine, France PRACTICAL ISSUES: Manuscripts may be submitted in English or French. French-speaking authors are requested to submit in French. Contributions (25 pages maximum, PDF format) must be sent by e-mail to both editors at the addresses below: emmanuel.morin at univ-nantes.fr and holger.schwenk at lium.univ-lemans.fr.

Les textes sont traités selon des « points de vue » discursifs dont les valeurs sont organisées dans des « cartes sémantiques ». L’annotation se base sur un ensemble de règles linguistiques écrites par des analystes ; elles permettent d’identifier les représentations textuelles sous jacentes aux différentes catégories des cartes sémantiques. Le système offre, à travers deux types d’interfaces (développeur ou utilisateur), une chaîne de traitements automatiques de textes qui comprend la segmentation, l’annotation et d’autres fonctionnalités de post traitement. Les documents annotés peuvent être utilisés, par exemple, pour des systèmes de recherche d’information, de veille, de classification ou de résumé automatique.

We are interested in presentations relating to actively studied areas of research including the adaptation of existing parsing techniques to new languages, the design of new models that take morphological information into account, the implementation of models that allow robust statistics to be obtained in the face of high word-form variation, and so on. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: March 1, 2010 Notification to authors: March 30, 2010 Camera ready copy: April 12, 2010 Workshop: June 5 or 6, 2010 PRESENTATION The availability of large syntactically annotated corpora led to an explosion of interest in statistical parsing methods, and to the development of successful models for parsing English using the Wall Street Journal Penn Treebank (PTB, Marcus et al, 1993). In recent years, parsing performance on the PTB has reached a performance ceiling of 90-92% f-score using the Parseval evaluation metrics (Black et al, 1991). When adapted to other language/treebank pairs (such as German, Hebrew, Arabic, Italian or French), these models have been shown to be considerably less successful. Among the arguments that have been proposed to explain this performance gap are the impact of small training data size, differences in treebank annotation schemes, inadequacy of evaluation metrics, as well as linguistic factors such as the degree of word order freedom and the use of morphological information in the parser. None of these arguments in isolation can account for the systematic performance deterioration, but observed from a wider, cross-linguistic perspective, a picture begins to emerge -- the morphologically rich nature of some of the languages makes them inherently more susceptible to such performance degradation. Morphologically rich languages (MRLs) are particularly challenging for the application of algorithms primarily designed to parse English. These algorithms focus on learning word order but they often do not take morphological information into account. Another typical problem associated with parsing MRLs is increased lexical data sparseness due to high morphological variation in surface forms. In a more general setup, this problem is akin to handling out-of-vocabulary or rare words for robust statistical parsing and techniques for domain adaptation via lexicon enhancement (also explored for English and less morphologically rich languages). As well as technical and linguistic difficulties, lack of communication between researchers working on different MRLs can lead to a reinventing the wheel syndrome; the prominence of English parsing in the literature reduces the visibility of research aiming to solve the problems particular to MRLs. By offering a platform to this growing community of interests we hope to overcome this potential cultural obstacle. We solicit papers describing parsing experiments with models and architectures for languages with morphological structure richer than English, or studies that address the lexical sparseness challenges (for any language). The workshop's areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following list of topics: * Parsing models and architectures that explicitly integrate morphological analysis and parsing * Parsing models and architectures that focus on lexical coverage and the handling of OOV words either by incorporating linguistic knowledge or through the use of unsupervised/semi-supervised learning techniques * Cross-language and cross-model comparison of models' strength and weaknesses in the face of particular linguistic phenomena (e.g. morphosyntactic characteristics, degree of word-order freedom ...) * Comprehensive analyses of the strengths and weaknesses of various parsing models on particular linguistic (e.g. morphosyntactic) phenomena with respect to variation in tagsets, annotation schemes and additional data transformations SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit long papers (up to 8 pages + 1 extra page for references) and short papers (up to 4 pages + 1 extra page for references). Long papers should describe unpublished, substantial and completed research. Short papers should be position papers, papers describing work in progress or short, focused contributions. Papers will be accepted until March 1, 2010 in PDF format via the START system. Please watch the workshop page for additional last-minute details: http://sites.google.com/site/spmrl2010/ Submitted papers must follow the styles and the formating guidelines used for the NAACL conference, see the details at: http://naaclhlt2010.isi.edu/authors.html As the reviewing will be blind, the paper must not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ..." must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ..." Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. In addition, please do not post your submissions on the web until after the review process is complete.

The i-Society 2010 encourages you to submit workshop proposals. Workshop duration can be one day or one and half day. All the accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings. You can consider organising a workshop that is related to i-Society 2010 topics. The purpose of these workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conferences themselves. It offers a good opportunity for young researchers to present their work and to obtain feedback from an interested community. The format of each workshop is to be determined by the organisers, but it is expected that they contain ample time for general discussion. The preference is for one day workshops, but other schedules will also be considered. Important Dates Workshop Proposal Submission: January 15, 2010 Notification of Workshop Acceptance: January 31, 2010 The proposal must include: 1. The name of the workshop. 2. A statement of goals for the workshop. 3. The names and addresses of the organisers. 4. The names of potential participants, such as program committee members. 5. A description of the plans for call for participation (e.g., call for papers). 6. The expected number of attendees and the planned length of the workshop. 7. The topic of the workshop should be relevant to the main conference and details of any previous workshops. 8. The URL of the workshop web site. All workshop proposals are blind reviewed by the workshop organisers.

Matinée : Pratiques interdisciplinaires en analyse du discours : enjeux, méthodes, portée Coordination : Julien Longhi (Julien.Longhi at u-cergy.fr) Cette séance du séminaire du pôle LaSCoD (EA 1392 CRTF) a pour objectif de proposer une réflexion et des pistes de recherche sur la notion d?interdisciplinarité, ainsi que sur ses pratiques. Les conférenciers invités pratiquent tous l?interdisciplinarité, et ont en commun le rattachement à l?Analyse du discours. Les exposés seront donc l?occasion de présenter et de confronter des usages de l?interdisciplinarité, tout en soulevant des points essentiels dans les recherches actuelles en analyse du discours. 9h-9h15 : accueil et présentation de la journée 9h15-10h : Alice Krieg-Planque, Université Paris-Est Créteil, Céditec (EA 3119) Titre : « Une interdisciplinarité féconde : les chantiers partagés de l?analyse du discours et des sciences de l?information et de la communication » Résumé : Cette intervention donne à voir quelques rencontres fructueuses entre analyse du discours et sciences de l?information et de la communication. Après avoir synthétisé l?historique des relations institutionnelles entre ces deux disciplines (Krieg-Planque : 2007), et après avoir rappelé les éléments qui, dans l?épistémologie propre à chaque point de vue, dessinent le périmètre des coopérations possibles et des incompatibilités (Oger : 2007), sont exposés quelques réalisations et chantiers qui illustrent la fécondité d?une telle interdisciplinarité. Sont ainsi présentés, à titre d?exemple : l?apport des sciences du langage à l?étude des pratiques d?écriture journalistique (Krieg-Planque : 2008 et 2009b) ; l?intérêt d?une approche discursive dans la définition des activités de communication professionnelles et amateures ; la contribution des approches ?formulaires? à l?analyse des discours sociaux (Krieg-Planque : 2006 et 2009a). 10h-10h45 : Georges-Elia Sarfati, Université Clermont II, Sens textes histoire (U. Paris IV) Titre : « Problème du sens commun. Du sujet au discours : insertion, inscription, expression » Résumé : Cette intervention a pour objet de reprendre la question du « sujet parlant » dans la perspective d'une théorie générale du sens commun. En prenant la mesure de l'évolution d'un concept opératoire de la linguistique depuis le CLG de F. de Saussure, on tentera de réévaluer son importance pour une problématique de la sémiotisation des normes de la praxis. 10h45-11h30 : Marion Pescheux, Université de Lille 3, UMR STL 8163 & CERCI-SAD, EA 3824, Université de Nantes Titre : « Articuler compréhension écrite et théories sémantiques : un problème de réduction théorique (ou « Enseignants de FLE/S, encore un effort pour (re) devenir linguistes ! ») » Résumé : La question de l?accompagnement à la compréhension écrite est traitée en positionnant la formation des enseignants de FLE/S non seulement par rapport à l?approche globale de la lecture (Moirand), non seulement par rapport à la lexiculture (Galisson), mais aussi en suggérant qu?elle inscrive à son programme un certain nombre de théories sémantiques. 11h30-12h : Discussion générale Après-midi : Bi/Plurilinguisme, pratiques langagières et didactique des langues Coordination : Jacques David (jacques.david at iufm.u-cergy.fr) Ce séminaire du pôle LaSCoD (EA 1392 du CRTF) a pour objectif d?engager la réflexion sur des recherches actuelles conduites en sociolinguistique, autour de différentes études et expériences de bi- ou plurilinguisme. Les deux présentations - et les discussions qui suivront - auront également pour projet d?éclairer la didactique des langues et des discours, et de renouveler les conceptions et pratiques scolaires dans le domaine. 14h00 à 15h00 : Marinette Matthey (Université Grenoble 3, Lidilem, responsable de l?axe « Sociolinguistique, plurilinguismes et didactique des langues ») Titre : « La transmission intergénérationnelle du bi/plurilinguisme : étude des stratégies des parents et pratiques des langues des jeunes de deuxième et troisième générations » Résumé : L?exposé s?appuie sur un ensemble de recherche inscrit dans la problématique de la diversité linguistique et du plurilinguisme, que cela soit sous l?angle des aspects linguistiques de la migration ou des apprentissages linguistiques réalisés en milieu scolaire. L?objectif est de mettre l?accent sur la description des pratiques langagières dans un contexte donné (pays, région, communauté, famille, réseau?) ainsi que sur les représentations et les aspects identitaires exprimés par les locuteurs des langues concernées. Au delà, il s?agit de proposer de nouveaux outils didactiques fondés sur une connaissance approfondie des pratiques en contextes plurilingues et permettant une meilleure articulation entre la réalité extrascolaire et celle de l?institution éducative, qui se caractérise par l?élaboration formelle de connaissances linguistiques et langagières. 15h00 à 16h00 : Jacques David (Université de Cergy-Pontoise, CRTF - pôle Lascod) Titre : « L?enseignement des langues vivantes étrangères et la maitrise des systèmes linguistiques : le cas des interactions français / anglais » Résumé : La présentation s?appuiera sur l?étude d?un corpus de verbalisations d?élèves francophones (FLSco) apprenant l?anglais (en L2) dans une classe du cycle 3 de l?école primaire (8-11 ans), au cours de séquences d?enseignement de l?anglais, mais aussi de séquences d?étude de la langue comparant le français et l?anglais. Plusieurs notions linguistiques seront décrites, comme l?antéposition de l?adjectif et l?expression temporelle du passé. L?objectif est de valider les effets d?apprentissage obtenus par ces comparaisons, dans une perspective interlangue, proche des méthodologies « Éveil aux langues » (Hawkins) ou « Evlang » (Candelier, Dabène), ou encore « Comparons nos langues » (Auger). Ces données nous permettront d?ouvrir des perspectives d?enseignement-apprentissage des langues associant L1 et L2 et d?envisager des contenus de formation des enseignants dans le cadre d?une didactique des langues renouvelée et élargie. 16h00 à 17h00 : Discussion générale Lieu : Université de Cergy-Pontoise Site des Chênes Salle Ananzie, 2ème étage des Chênes 2 33, boulevard du Port 95011 Cergy-Pontoise Accès au site des Chênes : En RER : RER A direction Cergy-le-haut, arrêt Cergy-Préfecture RER C arrêt Pontoise (prendre ensuite le bus) En train : Depuis la gare Saint-Lazare ou Nanterre-Université, arrêt Cergy-Préfecture En bus : Depuis Pontoise, station Canrobert, lignes 44, 45, 56, 57, arrêt Cergy-Préfecture Plan détaillé du campus à télécharger à partir de : http://www.u-cergy.fr Séance du 28 janvier 2010 : http://www.u-cergy.fr/article12703.html - - - séminaire - - - séminaire - - - séminaire - - - séminaire - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 16 11:37:19 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2010 12:37:19 +0100 Subject: Appel: DL 2010 Message-ID: Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 14:07:21 +0100 From: David Toman Message-ID: <87r5pu6tme.fsf at cs.uwaterloo.ca> X-url: http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/conferences/dl2010/ X-url: http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html X-url: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dl2010 X-url: http://www.CEUR-ws.org/ X-url: http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/conferences/dl2010/ X-url: http://dl.kr.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 23rd International Workshop on Description Logics (DL 2010) FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS Waterloo, Ontario, Canada http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/conferences/dl2010/ The DL workshop is the major annual event of the description logic research community.

Thanks in advance for forwarding the information on this Call for Submissions to those potentially interested to submit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Matching and Meaning: Automated development, evolution and interpretation of ontologies http://dream.inf.ed.ac.uk/events/wmm-2010 31st March 2010, part of AISB'10 Convention, Leicester, UK OVERVIEW The problem of semantic misalignment - of two (or more) systems failing to understand one another when their semantic representation is not identical - occurs in a huge variety of areas: the Semantic Web, databases, natural language processing; anywhere, indeed, where semantics are necessary but centralised control is undesirable or impractical. In highly dynamic domains, where interactions are between a large, diverse and evolving community, there is a need for the resolving of these misalignments - through developing and evolving existing ontologies or interpreting unknown ontologies in terms of known ones - to be done automatically and on-the-fly. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested in the problems of automated development, evolution and interpretation of ontologies in the many different domains in which it occurs. We are primarily interested in the exchange of ideas and the stimulation of debate, and the workshop is intended to be a forum for researchers to present ongoing work and ideas and to engage in discussion with other researchers from the field. We are particularly interested in novel ideas and innovative research, which may be in its early stages, and encourage reports on work in progress. Topics of interest include: * Ontology evolution * Ontology matching and alignment * Ontology versioning * Representational or structural change * Formal aspects of ontology dynamics * Formalisation of and reasoning with contexts * Foundational issues * Social and collaborative matching * Background knowledge in matching * Extensions to ontology languages to better support change * Non-monotonic reasoning for ontologies and the Semantic Web * Inconsistency handling in evolving ontologies * Uncertainty in matching * Change propagation in ontologies and metadata * Ontologies for dynamic environments * Dynamic knowledge construction and exploitation * Matching for dynamic applictions (e.g., p2p, agents, web-services) * Case studies, software tools, use cases, applications * Open problems SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We encourage the submission of extended abstracts of 2-5 pages that discuss ongoing research, problem descriptions and overviews of the domain. Accepted papers will be included in the AISB 2010 proceedings unless the authors prefer them not to be (for example, if the work is very similar to work presented elsewhere which they nevertheless feel it would be valuable to present in this context, or if the work is at a stage where discussion would be valuable but publication would be premature). Authors wishing their submissions to be included in the convention proceedings must follow the style guide on the convention website. Submitted works do not need to be original as our primary interest is in the exchange of ideas and the stimulation of debate. Inclusion in the proceedings is optional. Submissions will be subject to light reviewing, mainly intended to check fit to workshop. Abstracts should be submitted electronically in pdf format to mchan-at-ed.ac.uk by 15th January 2010. Notification of acceptance will be sent to the submitting author on 15th February 2010. VENUE The workshop will take place at De Montfort University in Leicester, as part of the AISB 2010 Convention (http://www.aisb.org.uk/convention/aisb10/), from March 31st to 1st April, 2010. All workshop participants must be registered for the AISB 2010 Convention. Registration for this workshop is included in the convention registration fee. IMPORTANT DATES Submission: *Friday, 15th January 2010* Notification: Monday, 15th February 2010 Workshop: 31st March - 1st April 2010 AISB10 Convention: 29th March - 1st April 2010 PROGRAMME Presentations: Authors of accepted abstracts will give presentations of their work; exact times to be decided. Posters: If it is not possible to fit in presentations for all accepted authors, some may be asked to present posters instead. There will be a session of 5 minute poster talks. Panel: The technical programme will end with a 90 minute panel discussion on a topic of mutual interest to be decided. Three speakers will speak for 10 minutes each with a brief to stimulate debate during the remaining 60 minutes. Discussion amongst all participants, rather than question-and-answering for the panel, will be strongly encouraged.

May, 2010 1st Call for papersBackground In the last 10 years, several standardisation initiatives within W3C, ISO and the TEI have produced a portfolio of standards and more are in an early state of discussion. They will directly impact the way language resources are and will further be developed. This trend has in turn led to significant enhancements in the interoperability of tools for creating and managing language resources, and to a better understanding of the issues involved in ensuring that such resources remain usable in the long term. In this context, the main initiators of these standardisation initiatives, with the endorsement of the major infrastructural projects in language resources and humanities (CLARIN, Dariah, FLaReNet) are joining efforts to organise a one-day workshop providing a forum for the wider language resource community in order to o provide feedback on their experience with respect to ongoing standard isation activities o express priorities and proposals for future standardisation activities The results of this workshop will be taken as a basis for publication as a special issue of the LRE journal on the theme of standardisation for language resources, combining a comprehensive presentation of the field together with concrete applications of existing standards. Workshop aim The workshop invites papers on existing, emerging, and future needs and requirements concerning standards and best practices in all areas of Language Resources and Tools (LRT), including corpus linguistics, translation and localization, terminology management, service oriented infrastructures etc. Presentations may focus on practical experiences using existing standards in real-world projects, or identify areas in which such standards are currently lacking but urgently needed. Papers should illustrate the challenges when applying standards to solving practical tasks. Workshop topics Standards and best practices for language resources and tools — Papers can address one or several of the following issues: · Assessment of an existing standard and its implementation in a specific applicative context; · Critical review of one of several standards (coherence of underlying models and technical specifications based on practical insights); · Presentation of projects (corpora, lexica, etc) implementing international standards; · Issues in using international standards for interoperability in the development of tools; · Proposal of a new standard based on existing best practices or recent community developments; · Position paper on further needs for standardisation in the domain of language resources based on concrete project requirements; · Position paper concerning standardising policies within eHumanities infrastructures.

The conference is organized by the Iceland Centre for Language Technology (ICLT) and will be held at the new premises of Reykjavik University. IceTAL is the seventh in the series of the TAL conferences, following GoTAL 2008 (Gothenburg, Sweden), FinTAL 2006 (Turku, Finland), EsTAL 2004 (Alicante, Spain), PorTAL 2002 (Faro, Portugal), VexTAL 1999 (Venice, Italy) and FracTAL 1997 (Besançon, France). The main purpose of the TAL conference series is to bring together scientists representing linguistics, computer science and related fields, sharing a common interest in the advancement of computational linguistics and natural language processing (NLP). SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE ----------------------- Papers are invited on recent, substantial, original and unpublished research on all aspects of computational linguistics and natural language and speech processing, including, but not limited to: * phonetics, phonology, and morphology * speech recognition and speech synthesis * word segmentation, tagging, and chunking * syntax, parsing, and grammar formalisms * lexical semantics and word sense disambiguation * pragmatics, discourse, and dialogue * lexicon, lexical databases, and ontologies * generation and summarization * information retrieval, question answering, and information extraction * machine translation, translation aids, and multilingual systems * dialogue systems and multimodal systems * language resources and tools * linguistic, psychological, and mathematical models of language * corpus linguistics * corpus-based language modeling * language learning and therapy * simulation and visualization * knowledge acquisition and representation * text and speech interfaces * text and speech classification * systems evaluation KEYNOTE SPEAKERS ---------------- There will be two keynote speakers: * Jan Hajic, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic * Christiane D. Fellbaum, Princeton University, Princeton, USA PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- We welcome submissions both from academia and the industry on any topic that is of interest to the NLP community, particularly encouraging research emphasizing multidisciplinary aspects of NLP and the interplay between linguistics, computer science and application domains such as biomedicine, communication systems, public services, and educational technology. Submitted papers should describe original work, emphasizing completed or well advanced, rather than intended, research. The state of completion of the reported work must be clearly indicated. Where appropriate, results should be rigorously evaluated; the assessment of statistical significance for quantitative results is encouraged. Submissions should contain original material that has not been previously presented to the scientific community. A parallel submission to other publication fora as well as a significant overlap in contents with previously published work should be clearly indicated to the program committee. All submissions will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. The submissions will be judged on originality, relevance, technical quality, and presentation. Papers can be submitted in two categories: * Full papers, describing substantial research with well-evaluated results * Short papers, typically describing ongoing research and preliminary results At the conference, full papers will be presented as a talk and short papers will be presented as a poster. Further information regarding paper submission can be found at http://icetal.ru.is. PROCEEDINGS ----------- All accepted papers in both categories will be published in the conference proceedings. The proceedings will be published by Springer Publishers as a volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science/Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNCS/LNAI) series.

Celle-ci a pour objectif de repérer automatiquement dans des textes les entités caractéristiques d'un domaine ainsi que les relations intervenant entre ces entités, ceci dans le but d'alimenter une base de connaissances ou une base de données. Les entités considérées dans ce cadre sont plus précisément appelées entités nommées et dans le cas le plus général, correspondent à des noms de personnes, de lieux, d'organisations ou à des entités numériques telles que des dates, des montants financiers ou des mesures. Les relations entre ces entités peuvent être dans les cas les plus complexes des relations n-aires allant jusqu'à la notion d'événement. Par exemple, un événement de rachat d'une entreprise par une autre est représentable par une relation du type : Achat_entreprise société acheteuse : ORG société achetée : ORG montant : MONEY date : DATE où société acheteuse définit le rôle d'une entité et ORG, son type. Dans le cadre du stage, seules des relations binaires seront considérées. Le processus d'extraction d'information peut dans ce cas se résumer aux deux étapes suivantes : - détection des entités nommées ; - détection des relations entre les entités identifiées. A titre d'exemple, pour le passage : "With a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas, President Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961." ces deux étapes donnent le résultat suivant si l'on s'intéresse aux données de naissance d'une personne : Détection des entités nommées Noms de lieux : Kenya, Kansas, Hawaii Noms de personnes : President Obama Date : August 4, 1961 Détection des relations entre entités Lieu_naissance : bornIn(President Obama, Hawaii) Date_naissance : bornOn(President Obama, August 4, 1961) OBJECTIFS DU STAGE De nombreux travaux ont été réalisés sur la détection des entités nommées et comparés lors de plusieurs campagnes d'évaluation (shared task CoNLL 2002 et 2003, ACE ...). Le laboratoire LVIC (anciennement LIC2M) du CEA LIST possède en outre, au travers de sa plate-forme LIMA, des outils de traitement linguistique intégrant la reconnaissance d'entités nommées "générales". Le stage se concentrera donc sur la phase d'extraction de relations, pour laquelle le niveau de performance des systèmes actuels reste à améliorer. C'est particulièrement le cas lorsque l'objectif est de couvrir un ensemble large de types de relations. Le stage s'effectuera dans la perspective de l'évaluation KBP (Knowledge Base Population) de la campagne TAC 2009 (Text Analysis Conference) et en reprendra les caractéristiques et les données. Plus précisément, cette évaluation vise à rassembler des informations factuelles concernant des entités relevant de trois grands types : personnes, organisations et entités géopolitiques. Ces informations factuelles prennent la forme de relations appartenant à 42 types possibles (date et lieux de naissance, âge, religion, nombre d'employés, fondateur, etc). Le LVIC dispose déjà d'outils d'extraction de relations au sein des phrases, fondés sur la notion de patron linguistique. Un tel patron peut être vu comme une forme d'expression régulière intégrant des éléments de différents niveaux de généralité (mots, catégories grammaticales, "joker" ...) et permettant de valider la présence effective d'une relation entre deux entités nommées trouvées dans une phrase. Par exemple, le patron * traiter * par DET permet de valider la présence de la relation [traitement]--(traiter)--[maladie] dans les deux cas suivants : se traite par une est traitée efficacement par le Le LVIC dispose également des outils permettant d'apprendre automatiquement ces patrons à partir de corpus annotés. Le stagiaire aura tout d'abord en charge l'application de cet existant à l'échelle du grand nombre de relations considérées dans KBP. L'accent sera mis sur l'utilisation de données d'apprentissage bruitées du fait de l'impossibilité de valider manuellement de larges ensembles d'apprentissage pour un tel nombre de relations. Deux autres problématiques importantes seront ensuite abordées : - le filtrage des relations extraites, en s'appuyant notamment sur des méthodes d'apprentissage statistique (machines à vecteurs de support (SVM)) ; - l'extension de l'ensemble des patrons appris pour une relation par l'exploitation de données issues du Web. L'objectif est ici d'acquérir à partir d'exemples sondes de nouvelles formulations d'un type de relations ou des paraphrases de formulations déjà rencontrées.

Ils permettent d'apprendre à annoter des données, en se basant sur un ensemble d'exemples déjà annotés. Les CRF ont le plus souvent été utilisés dans le domaine du TAL, pour étiqueter des séquences d'unités linguistiques. Ils ont ainsi donné d'excellents résultats (souvent les meilleurs) pour la reconnaissance d'entités nommées (McCallum et Li, 2003), l’extraction d’informations (Pinto et al., 2003), l’étiquetage en partie de discours (Altun et al., 2003) ou l'analyse syntaxique peu profonde (Sha et Pereira, 2003). Ils peuvent aussi être employés pour l'étiquetage de données structurées, comme les corpus arborés (Cohn et Blunsom 2005, Jousse 2007, Moreau et al 2009, Moreau et Tellier 2009) et inspirer la conception de nouveaux analyseurs syntaxiques (Finkel, Kleeman & Manning 2008) . Le projet ANR CRoTAL (Conditional Random Fields pour le TAL), qui a débuté en 2008, a pour but d'étudier les CRF, dans leurs dimensions à la fois théoriques et pratiques. L'objectif de ces journées est de rendre compte de ses premiers résultats auprès de la communauté du TAL, et de faire le point sur les travaux en cours utilisant les CRF. Il est ouvert à tous, qu'ils aient ou non participé au projet CRoTAL : - La première journée prendra la forme d'une série de "tutoriaux" assurés par les membres du projet, portant sur la théorie des CRF, mais aussi sur l'utilisation de bibliothèques logicielles existantes pour les appliquer sur des données. Les participants seront invités à proposer des corpus qu'ils souhaitent traiter avec des CRF. - Le deuxième jour sera consacré à des exposés scientifiques, parmi lesquels celui d'Andrew McCallum, un des inventeurs des CRF, et d'autres invités. Il se déroulera dans le cadre d'une journée ATALA ouverte à soumissions. Les journées seront gratuites, des bourses de l'ATALA seront disponibles pour permettre à des étudiants provinciaux de financer leur transport et leur logement.

These positions can lead either to a research subject or to a pure software engineering work. These positions are funded by the Scribo project (http://www.scribo.ws/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?language=en ). It is a 4 millions euros project funded by the French State involving many industrial partners. ** Research Subject in machine learning and Information extraction The goal is to explore unsupervised learning linked to the Harris' distributional hypothesis for helping the extraction of concepts and relations from dependency parses of AFP broadcast news. The depencies parses come from a wide coverage TAG parser (FRMG). The goal is to automatically populate an ontology of domain while being able to favor manual validation of such an ontology. ** Research Subject in parsing disambiguation with ontological information The goal is to explore the use of ontological information to improve the parsing process of AFP broadcast news. A post parsing disambiguation phase that could occur either on a shared forest or that could be integrated into our rule based disambiguation tool mainly interests us. ** Engineering work (some key points) * Help to package and distribute the Alpage tools involved in the Scribo project * Experiments within the UIMA framework, in relation with partners involved in this project * Experiments with the use of large scaled clusters (i.e. GRID 5000) to deploy our tool chain. ** Skills and requirements: All the applicants must demonstrate a working knowledge of any Linux/Unix environment and serious programming skills while being fully autonomous For the postdoc positions, familiarity with parsing techniques, with formalisms such as TAG/LFG/Dependency grammar and/or With the deployment of large scale parsing chain (either symbolic or statistical) is a plus. For the first subject, familiarity with the use of machine learning techniques and tools/libraries is a plus. ** Salaries and faq Salaries are around 2000-2200 euros after tax, covering health insurance, unemployment benefits and retirement scheme http://www.inria.fr/travailler/opportunites/postdoc/faq_postdoc.en.html#n8 ** About the Inria's Alpage project The Alpage team is specialized in Language modeling, Computational linguistics and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Alpage is a joint team with University Paris 7 (Department of Linguistics) that was created in July 2007, with members coming in majority from the former Paris 7 Talana team (member of the Lattice UMR) and INRIA’s former project-team Atoll. Both teams were specialized in Natural Language Processing (NLP, in French: TAL, for Traitement Automatique des Langues), the former with a strong linguistic background, the latter with a strong computational background. Since February 2008, Alpage is a full Inria project-team. Since January 1st, 2009, Alpage an UMR-I (University Paris 7 & Inria) registered in the Paris 7 quadriennal plan as the UMR-I 001. Alpage’s overall objective is to develop linguistically relevant and computationally efficient tools and resources for natural language processing and its applications. To be more specific, Alpage focuses on the following topics: * Research topics: – Deep syntactic modeling and parsing. This topic includes, but is not limited to, development of advanced parsing technologies, development of large-coverage and high-quality adaptive linguistic resources, and use of hybrid architectures coupling shallow parsing, (probabilistic and symbolic) deep parsing, and (probabilistic and symbolic) disambiguation techniques – Modeling and processing of language at a supra-sentential level (discourse modeling and parsing, anaphora resolution, etc) – NLP-based knowledge acquisition techniques ** Contacts: Dr. Eric Villemonte de la Clergerie Domaine de Voluceau - Rocquencourt - B.P. 105 78153 Le Chesnay Cedex France Email: Eric.De_La_Clergerie at inria.fr Phone: +33 1 39 63 54 10 Fax: +33 1 39 63 53 30 Pr.

X-url: http://www.infile.org [Apologies for multiple postings] CALL FOR PAPERS Evaluation of Information Filtering Systems in a Competitive Intelligence Framework Workshop 22 May 2010 Held in conjunction with LREC 2010, Malta Aims The constant growth of publicly available information has entailed a consequently similar growth in the research areas devoted to the automated organization of this information. In particular, Information Filtering systems have been developed to tackle the issues of many applications of business intelligence, from mail categorization to news routing and technology watch. However, the theoretically challenging models of these systems have seldom been evaluated in real usage context. Indeed, standard evaluation benchmarks usually introduce artefacts that simplify the task. For instance, in the context of competitive intelligence, systems must filter documents without any global information on a "collection" but can use feedback from the user, and must be efficient enough to deal with a real-time document stream. Furthermore, with the increase of globalized access and availability of the information, sources may be found in many languages, and the multilinguality issue must also be considered. TREC Adaptive Filtering Track and INFILE track at CLEF for multilingual information filtering have tried to propose evaluation frameworks closer to the usage. The goal of this workshop is to study different aspects of Information Filtering Evaluation and to bring together researchers from the community of Information Filtering to develop new evaluation frameworks and confront current models with these new evaluation models. Submissions are expected to propose new insights on evaluation methodologies and resources for Information Filtering or to present Information Filtering models that will meet the requirements of a real usage evaluation (in particular, researchers that submit papers presenting Information Filtering Models are encouraged to evaluate their model using an existing benchmark such as the INFILE benchmark, available at http://www.infile.org). Topics Both theoretical and practical research papers are welcome from both research and industrial communities addressing the main workshop theme, in any aspect including: - Resources and methodologies for Evaluation of Information Filtering Systems in real usage context - New models for Information Filtering, that tackle one or several issues of this kind of evaluation: efficiency, adaptability, multilinguality, etc. - Results of the Evaluation of Information Filtering Systems - User studies of the use of Information Filtering Systems in Competitive Intelligence Submission information Papers will be submitted to the workshop via the START LREC Conference Manager, under https://www.softconf.com/lrec2010/InFile2010/ Authors should submit a PDF file of no more than 10 pages, following the LREC conference formatting details. Papers will be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee, Accepted papers will be published in the workshop Proceedings. When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. For further information on this new initiative, please refer to http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2010/?LREC2010-Map-of-Language-Resources.

L'atelier de clôture se tiendra à Montréal dans le cadre de la conférence TALN 2010. Un locuteur francophone natif est capable de détecter dans une conversation des expressions spécifiques à un pays (par exemple au niveau des nombres "septante" et "nonante" en Belgique et en Suisse contre "soixante-dix et "quatre-vingt-dix" en France et au Québec, et "huitante" en Suisse vs. "quatre-vingts" dans les trois autres pays). Un lecteur est également capable de mobiliser des connaissances linguistiques, culturelles et historiques pour identifier la période (sur une échelle plus ou moins grande) de parution d'un article (en identifiant un événement particulier et/ou des tournures linguistiques ou des entités nommées jugées représentatives d'une période donnée). Comme tout acte de communication, les documents ont une origine et un public visé ; leur nature, c'est-à-dire leurs contenu, niveaux de langue, etc. en dépend fortement. Dans cette édition du défi fouille de textes, nous nous intéressons à l'origine des documents, plus particulièrement à l'époque et au lieu de leur création. Dans ce cadre, nous proposons plusieurs pistes distinctes et indépendantes. * Piste 1. Cette piste, relative à la variation diachronique, concerne l'identification de la décennie de publication d'extraits d'articles français d'une taille de 300 mots. Les extraits de ce corpus couvrent une période comprise entre 1800 et 1944. Le corpus d'apprentissage se composera d'extraits (300 mots) d'articles de quatre titres de journaux différents, le corpus de test intègrera des extraits provenant de ces quatre mêmes titres plus un cinquième titre absent du corpus d'apprentissage, de manière à éprouver la robustesse des systèmes. * Piste 2. L'identification de l'origine géographique de chaque document (pays d'origine) constituera la seconde piste de cette campagne. Elle reposera sur des corpus de presse rassemblant plusieurs titres provenant de France et du Québec. Pour ces deux pistes, les participants auront la possibilité d'utiliser des ressources externes (linguistiques, historiques, etc.) qu'ils devront obligatoirement déclarer lors de la soumission des résultats. En ce qui concerne plus spécifiquement la piste 1, les ressources provenant de Gallica ne seront pas autorisées. Nous invitons les participants à participer aux deux pistes. Il est cependant possible de ne participer qu'à une seule des pistes. Des corpus d'apprentissage seront fournis aux participants inscrits, à partir du 26 février 2010. Ces corpus sont composés de 60% des corpus d'origine. Les 40% de corpus restants seront utilisés pour le test. Le test aura lieu sur une fenêtre d'un mois, à partir de la mi-mars. À partir de la date qu'ils auront choisie dans cet intervalle, les participants auront trois jours pour appliquer, sur les corpus de test, les méthodes mises au point sur les corpus d'apprentissage et nous retourner leurs résultats d'analyse. ******************************************************** Dates importantes : - Inscription : à partir du 25 janvier 2010.

Full papers should not exceed eight (8) pages of text and one page of references. These are intended to be reports of original research. BioNLP aims to be the forum for interesting, innovative, and promising work involving biomedicine and language technology, whether or not yielding high performance at the moment. This by no means precludes our interest in and preference for mature results, strong performance, and thorough evaluation. Both types of research and combinations thereof are encouraged. Poster abstracts should not exceed two (2) pages. Accepted abstracts will be published in a separate section of the workshop proceedings. Appropriate poster topics include preliminary results, application notes, descriptions of work in progress, etc. Submissions must be electronic and in PDF format, and should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings. Please see the conference website for detailed typesetting specifications. Authors are strongly encouraged to use the style files and formatting instructions available on the ACL conference website: http://acl2010.org/authors.html Submissions need to be anonymous. Authors who cannot submit a PDF file electronically should contact the workshop organizers well in advance of the submission deadline. Dual submission policy: note that papers may not be submitted to the BioNLP 2010 workshop if they are or will be concurrently submitted to another meeting or publication and that other meeting or publication prohibits dual submissions. If your paper is also submitted to ISMB or AMIA, you should expect it to be rejected by ISMB and AMIA. If your paper is or will be concurrently under consideration by another meeting or publication, notify us of that fact in a footnote on the first page. Do not dual-submit your BioNLP 2010 workshop paper to ISMB or AMIA. ACL MENTORING SERVICE -------------------------------------- ACL is providing a mentoring (coaching) service for authors from regions of the world where English is less emphasized as a language of scientific exchange. Many authors from these regions, although able to read the scientific literature in English, have little or no experience in writing papers in English for conferences such as the ACL meetings. The service will be arranged as follows. A set of potential mentors will be identified by Mentoring Service Chairs Bj?rn Gamb‰ck (SICS, Sweden and NTNU, Norway) and Diana McCarthy (Lexical Computing Ltd., UK), who will organize this service for ACL 2010. If you would like to take advantage of the service for a submission to this workshop, please upload your paper in PDF format using the paper submission software for the mentoring service available at: https://www.softconf.com/acl2010/acl2010mentor/ The deadline for the mentoring service is six weeks before the workshop submission deadline. An appropriate mentor will be assigned to your paper and the mentor will get back to you no later than two weeks before the submission deadline. Please note that this service is for the benefit of the authors as described above. It is not a general mentoring service for authors to improve the technical content of their papers. Questions about the mentoring service should be referred to mentoring at acl2010.org. * Kevin Bretonnel Cohen, University of Colorado School of Medicine * Dina Demner-Fushman, US National Library of Medicine * Sophia Ananiadou, National Centre for Text Mining and University of Manchester, UK * John Pestian, Computational Medicine Center, Cincinnati Children's Hospital and Medical Center * Jun-ichi Tsujii, University of Tokyo, Japan and University of Manchester, UK * Bonnie Webber, University of Edinburgh, UK ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 23 19:05:02 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 23 Jan 2010 20:05:02 +0100 Subject: Appel: TOTh 2010 Message-ID: Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 10:39:05 +0100 From: Luc Damas Message-ID: Deuxième Appel à Communications TOTh 2010 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Conférence TOTh 2010 Terminologie & Ontologie : Théories et Applications Annecy : 3 & 4 juin 2010 (formation : 2 juin) www.porphyre.org/toth --------------------------------------------------------------------- Présentation --------------- Les conférences TOTh deviennent, à partir de l’édition 2010, internationales avec le français et l’anglais comme langues officielles. Le comité de programme s’est ouvert à de nouveaux pays (Autriche, Italie et Irlande) portant à dix le nombre de pays représentés et à plus de 40% le nombre de personnalités étrangères. Cette ouverture traduit un intérêt croissant pour la terminologie en dehors de son champ traditionnel d’applications. Grâce à l’opérationnalisation des terminologies, rendue possible par les apports de l’ingénierie des connaissances tels que les ontologies, la terminologie se trouve au cœur de nombreuses applications liées à la société numérique. Elle ouvre de nouvelles perspectives pour le traitement de l’information au sens le plus large du terme : commissions terminologiques, gestion documentaire, ingénierie collaborative, modélisation, politique linguistique, représentation et capitalisation des connaissances, traduction, web sémantique, etc. Cette ouverture n’est pas sans poser de nouvelles questions quant aux rapports qu’entretiennent les dimensions linguistique et conceptuelle de la terminologie. La terminologie, discipline scientifique à part entière, est aujourd’hui devenue pluridisciplinaire et puise à la linguistique, aux langues de spécialité, à l’intelligence artificielle et aux sciences de l’information. Publics visés ---------------- Les conférences TOTh ont pour objet de rassembler toutes personnes dont les préoccupations relèvent entre autres des langues de spécialité, de la terminologie et de l’ingénierie des connaissances ; et de façon plus générale toutes personnes, chercheurs, industriels, praticiens, intéressées par des problématiques liées à la langue et à la connaissance. Soumissions et Dates importantes ------------------------------------------ Les articles soumis seront évalués par le comité international de programme etpourront donner lieu à une présentation orale ou poster. Les articles acceptés seront publiés dans les actes de la conférence (les posters le seront sous la forme d’un article court). Langues officielles : français et anglais Date limite de soumission : 1 février 2010 Notification d’acceptation aux auteurs : 1 avril 2010 Conférence : 3 & 4 juin 2010 Soumission des articles : Par courriel : soumission at porphyre.org En ligne : www.porphyre.org/toth Langues officielles : français et anglais Organisation ---------------- Les conférences se déroulent chaque année à Annecy les premiers jeudi et vendredi du mois de juin (3 & 4 juin 2010). Elles sont précédées par une journée de formation (mercredi 2 juin). A côté de communications académiques, une place importante est accordée aux travaux de jeunes chercheurs (doctorants en fin de thèse) et à la présentation de réalisations industrielles. Un conférencier invité, dans une discipline généralement différente mais pour laquelle le langage et la pensée jouent un rôle primordial, ouvre les conférences TOTh. Journée de formation -------------------------- A partir de 2010, les conférences seront précédées d’une journée de formation (mercredi 2 juin). Le thème de cette année portera sur les apports mutuels de la terminologie et de l’ontologie. Thèmes de la Conférence (liste non exhaustive) --------------------------------------------------------- Les communications porteront aussi bien sur la dimension linguistique de la terminologie et de la connaissance : - les langues de spécialité, l’aménagement linguistique (prescription, normalisation), les usages, les variations, - les lexiques, dictionnaires, thésaurus, produits terminologiques, - le multilinguisme, la traduction, le traitement et l’alignement de corpus,l’extraction de connaissances, - la construction et la maintenance de ressources terminologiques, l’harmonisation des concepts, l’harmonisation des termes, les théories du sens, l’importance et la limite des corpus, que sur leur dimension conceptuelle : - les principes terminologiques pour la construction des systèmes notionnels, - la représentation et la gestion des connaissances : acquisition, modélisation des concepts, importance des ontologies (construction, maintenance, alignement, fusion), - l’apport de l’intelligence artificielle, de la linguistique, de l’épistémologie, des systèmes formels (logique des descriptions par exemple). ou leurs applications : - les environnements logiciels : construction et maintenance des terminologies, thésaurus, dictionnaires, ontologies, - les applications informatiques à base de connaissances et de ressources terminologiques : systèmes d’information, bibliothèques numériques spécialisées,gestion documentaire, recherche d’information, classification, gestion des connaissances, web sémantique, ingénierie collaborative, etc. - l’évaluation des outils d’acquisition et de manipulation, l’évolution des normes et standards dans le domaine des ressources linguistiques et ontologiques.

La fouille et l'extraction de données de qualité de ces discussions en ligne sont importantes dans de nombreux domaines (industrie, marketing) et particulièrement pour toutes les applications de commerce électronique. Les discussions de ce type contiennent des opinions et des croyances de personnes et cela explique l'intérêt de développer des outils d'analyse efficaces pour ces discussions. L'objectif de cette thèse est de définir un modèle qui représente les discussions en ligne et facilite leur analyse. Nous proposons un modèle basé sur des graphes. Les sommets du graphe représentent les objets de type message. Chaque objet de type message contient des informations comme son contenu, son auteur, l'orientation de l'opinion qui y été exprimée et la date où il a été posté. Les liens parmi les objets message montrent une relation de type "répondre à". En d'autres termes, ils montrent quels objets répondent à quoi, conséquence directe de la structure de la discussion en ligne. Avec ce nouveau modèle, nous proposons un certain nombre de mesures qui guident la fouille au sein de la discussion et permettent d'extraire des informations pertinentes. Les mesures sont définies par la structure de la discussion et la façon dont les objets messages sont liés entre eux. Il existe des mesures centrées sur l'analyse de l'opinion qui traitent de l'évolution de l'opinion au sein de la discussion. Nous définissons également des mesures centrées sur le temps, qui exploitent la dimension temporelle du modèle, alors que les mesures centrées sur le sujet peuvent être utilisées pour mesurer la présence de sujets dans une discussion. La représentation d'une discussion en ligne de la manière proposée permet à un utilisateur de "zoomer" dans une discussion. Une liste de messages clés est recommandée à l'utilisateur pour permettre une participation plus efficace au sein de la discussion. De plus, un système prototype a été implémenté pour permettre à l'utilisateur de fouiller les discussions en ligne en sélectionnant un sous ensemble d'objets de type message et naviguer à travers ceux-ci de manière efficace. Mots clés : discussions en ligne, opinion mining, fouille de données d'opinion, text mining, fouille de texte, réseaux sociaux, systèmes de recommandation, modélisation, forum. **************Summary************** The development of Web 2.0 has resulted in the generation of a vast amount of online discussions. Mining and extracting quality knowledge from online discussions is significant for the industrial and marketing sector, as well as for e-commerce applications. Discussions of this kind encapsulate people's interests and beliefs and hence, there is a great interest in acquiring and developing online discussion analysis tools. The objective of this thesis is to define a model which represents online discussions and facilitates their analysis. We propose a graph-oriented model. The vertices of the graph represent postings. Each posting encapsulates information such as the content of the message, the author who has written it, the opinion polarity of the message and the time that the message was posted. The edges among the postings point out a "reply-to" relation. In other words they show which posting replies to what as it is given by the structure of the online discussion. The proposed model is accompanied by a number of measures which facilitate the discussion mining and the extraction of knowledge from it. Defined measures consist in measures that are underlined by the structure of the discussion and the way the postings are linked to each other. There are opinion-oriented measures which deal with the opinion evolution within a discussion. Time-oriented measures exploit the presence of the temporal dimension within a model, while topic-oriented measures can be used in order to measure the presence of topics within a discussion. The user's presence inside the online discussions can be exploited either by social network techniques or through the new model which encapsulates knowledge about the author of each posting. The representation of an online discussion in the proposed way allows a user to "zoom" inside the discussion. A recommendation of messages is proposed to the user to enable a more efficient participation inside the discussion. Additionally, a prototype system has been implemented which allows the user to mine online discussions by selecting a subset of postings and browse through them efficiently. Keywords: online discussions, opinion mining, text mining, social networks, recommender systems, modeling, forums. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue Jan 26 20:51:34 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 21:51:34 +0100 Subject: Job: Stage mastere en informatique, Orange Labs, Lannion Message-ID: Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 11:43:11 +0100 From: Message-ID: <12901_1264502592_4B5EC740_12901_623_1_F45661E8FBC74F4EB7E1E0386B562A75C1CD79 at ftrdmel0.rd.francetelecom.fr> Intitulé Evaluation des outils d'acquisition de terminologie dans une application multimédia Mission Le stage concerne une des activités du laboratoire ACTS d’Orange Labs : les applications de moteurs de recherche de contenus vidéo. Dans ce cadre, un des problèmes à résoudre concerne l'amélioration de la recherche par la prise en compte de la terminologie (locutions, entités nommées…). Il s'agit d'enrichir et de maintenir une base terminologique existante, base construite manuellement au départ. Le choix technique porte sur une acquisition automatique des données de terminologie à partir de techniques d'apprentissage. Un premier travail réalisé dans le cadre d'un postdoc va concerner l'étude et la construction du corpus d'apprentissage. Ce corpus va être ensuite utilisé pour l'acquisition de terminologie. Pour ce faire, il existe différents outils d'acquisition (outils développés en interne au sein d'Orange Labs et outils "libres" disponibles à des fins de recherche comme ACABIT).

Bien cordialement, Mehdi Malik ************Résumé****************************************************** Dans le domaine du traitement automatique des langues, la question qui nous intéresse dans cette thèse est celle des relations qui peuvent exister entre des prédicats verbaux (ex : corroder) et des prédicats nominaux (ex : corrosion) dont les structures argumentales mettent en jeu des informations communes (salt corrodes iron / le sel corrode le fer ; iron is corroded by salt / le fer est corrodé par le sel ; the corrosion of iron by salt / la corrosion du fer par le sel). Les prédicats nominaux dotés de leurs arguments donnent lieu à des groupes nominaux prédicatifs (GNpréd). La mise en évidence de l'équivalence des structures argumentales des prédicats verbaux et des GNPréd est fondamentale pour pouvoir réaliser, par exemple, des systèmes d'extraction automatique d'informations performants. Dans cette thèse nous nous livrons à une formalisation des conditions dans lesquelles se réalisent des relations d'équivalence entre les deux types de constructions (verbales et nominales). De façon plus appliquée, nous nous intéressons à l'explicitation de ces relations dans un lexique anglais de la biologie, cela à partir des données fournies par le Specialist Lexicon. En se basant sur les données de ce lexique que l'on peut qualifier de génériques car elles couvrent un spectre large qui va de la biologie, la médecine aux sciences sociales, nous proposons une prédiction raisonnable du comportement syntaxique des arguments nominaux lorsqu'ils sont en position de postmodifieur. Nous confirmons le rôle que peuvent jouer les prépositions dans la détermination et l'acquisition des différents arguments nominaux. Nous mettons en évidence les structures distributionnelles et fonctionnelles du GNpréd ainsi que les différentes formes équivalentes qu'un GNpréd peut avoir. Le comportement syntaxique des GNpréd dépend de la classe grammaticale du prédicat verbal à partir duquel la nominalisation a été dérivée et de son schéma de complémentation. Les prédicats verbaux peuvent être répartis en deux grandes classes : les prédicats transitifs qui admettent un complément d'objet direct (COD) et les prédicats qui n'en admettent pas. Les GNpréd associés à ces deux classes se caractérisent par le fait que la préposition of sélectionne soit le sujet, soit le COD et qu'elle est un marqueur ambigu lorsqu'elle apparaît seule. Cependant, cette ambiguïté disparaît lorsque les GNpréd sont saturés, c.-à-d. lorsque tous les arguments de la relation décrite par le nom prédicatif sont réalisés. Cette étude nous a conduit à concevoir un ensemble d'algorithmes et à développer une plate-forme, PredicateDB, permettant de produire, à partir de ces algorithmes, un lexique où sont explicités pour chaque nominalisation (nom prédicatif) du Specialist Lexicon ses structures argumentales et ses réalisations dans des GNpréd dont les arguments sont marqués par des prépositions spécifiques. Les 3 981 entrées du lexique produit sont représentées par les nominalisations et leurs différentes propriétés, c'est-à-dire, pour chaque nominalisation : les formes saturées de chaque emploi verbal et les cas d'indécidabilité de leur fonction argumentale qui sont liés au rôle ambigu de la préposition of en tant que marqueur pour les formes non saturées. Enfin, à titre d'illustration, nous montrons la pertinence du lexique produit pour l'extraction d'informations dans le domaine de la biologie. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue Jan 26 21:06:53 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 22:06:53 +0100 Subject: Appel: LLREC 2010 Workshop, LRs and HLT for Semitic Languages Message-ID: Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 16:42:00 +0100 From: info at elda.org Message-ID: <4B5F0D48.9030508 at elda.org> X-url: http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2010/ X-url: http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2010/?LREC2010-Map-of-Language-Resources [apologies for cross-postings] CALL FOR PAPERS *Workshop on Language Resources (LRs) and Human Language Technologies (HLT) for Semitic Languages - Status, Updates, and Prospects * To be held in conjunction with the 7th International Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC 2010) *17 May 2010, Mediterranean Conference Centre, Valetta, Malta* *Deadline for submission: 26 February 2010 * Description The Semitic family includes languages and dialects spoken by a large number of native speakers (around 300 million). Prominent members of this family are Arabic (and its varieties), Hebrew, Amharic, Tigrinya, Aramaic, Maltese and Syriac. Their shared ancestry is apparent through pervasive cognate sharing, a rich and productive pattern-based morphology, and similar syntactic constructions. In addition, there are several languages which are used in the same geographic area such as Amazigh or Coptic, which, while not Semitic, have common features with Semitic languages, such as borrowed vocabulary. The recent surge in computational work for processing Semitic languages, particularly Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Modern Hebrew (MH), has brought modest improvements in terms of actual empirical results for various language processing components (e.g., morphological analyzers, parsers, named entity recognizers, audio transcriptions, etc.). Apparently, reusing existing approaches developed for English or French for processing Semitic language text/speech, e.g., Arabic parsing is not as straightforward as initially thought. Apart from the limited availability of suitable language resources, there is increasing evidence that Semitic languages demand modeling approaches and annotations that deviate from those found suitable for English/French. Issues such as the pattern-based morphology, the frequently head-initial syntactic structure, the importance of the interface between morphology and syntax, and the difference between spoken and written forms (especially in Colloquial Arabic(s)) exemplify the kind of challenges that may arise when processing Semitic languages. For language technologies, such as information retrieval and machine translation, these challenges are compounded by sparse data and often result in poorer performance than for other languages. This Workshop intends to follow on topics of paramount importance for Semitic-language NLP that were discussed at previous events (LREC, MEDAR/NEMLAR Conferences, the workshops of the ACL Special Interest Group for Semitic languages, etc.) and which are worth revisiting. The workshop will bring together people who are actively involved in Semitic language processing in a mono- or cross/multilingual context, and give them an opportunity to update the community through reports on completed or ongoing work as well as on the availability of LRs, evaluation protocols and campaigns, products and core technologies (in particular open source ones). We also invite authors to address other languages spoken in the Semitic language area (languages such as Amazigh, Coptic, etc.). This should enable participants to develop a common view on where we stand and to foster the discussion of the future of this research area. Particular attention will be paid to activities involving technologies such as Machine Translation and Cross-Lingual Information Retrieval/Extraction, Summarization, etc. Evaluation methodologies and resources for evaluation of HLT will be also a main focus. We expect to elaborate on the HLT state of the art, identify problems of common interest, and debate on a potential roadmap for the Semitic languages. Issues related to sharing of resources, tools, standards, sharing and dissemination of information and expertise, adoption of current best practices, setting up joint projects and technology transfer mechanisms will be an important part of the workshop. Topics of Interest This full-day workshop is not intended to be a mini-conference, but as a real workshop aiming at concrete results that should clarify the situation of Semitic languages with respect to Language Resources and Evaluation. We expect to launch at least two evaluation campaigns: Comparative evaluation of Morphology taggers and Named Entities Recognizers. Among the many issues to be addressed, below follow a few suggestions: ? Issues in the design, the acquisition, creation, management, access, distribution, use of Language Resources, in particular in a bilingual/multilingual setting (Standard Arabic, Hebrew, Colloquial Arabic, Amazigh, Coptic, Maltese, etc.) ? Impact on LR collections/processing and NLP of the crucial issues related to "code switching" between different dialects and languages ? Specific issues related to the above-mentioned languages such as the role of morphology, named entities, corpus alignment, etc. ? Multilinguality issues including relationship between Colloquial and Standard Arabic ? Exploitation of LR in different types of applications ? Industrial LR requirements and community's response ? Benchmarking of systems and products; resources for benchmarking and evaluation for written and spoken language processing; ? Focus on some key technologies such as MT (all approaches e.g. Statistical, Example-Based, etc.), Information Retrieval, Speech Recognition, Spoken Documents Retrieval, CLIR, Question-Answering, Summarization, etc. ? Local, regional, and international activities and projects and needs, possibilities, forms, initiatives of/for regional and international cooperation. We invite submissions on computational approaches to processing text/speech in all Semitic and Semitic-area languages. The call is open for all kinds of computational work, e.g., work on computational linguistic processing components (e.g., analyzers, taggers, parsers), on state-of-the-art NLP applications and systems, on leveraging resource and tool creation for the Semitic language family, and on using computational tools to gain new linguistic insight. We especially welcome submissions on work that crosses individual language boundaries, heightens awareness amongst Semitic-language researchers of shared challenges and breakthroughs, and highlights issues and solutions common to any subset of the Semitic languages family.

A partir d'un cadre théorique articulant les approches « représentationnistes » et « instrumentalistes » du sens (c'est-à-dire « sens»concept » vs sens»usage »), le projet vise à analyser les valeurs sémantiques, le comportement combinatoire (lexématique et syntaxique) et les rôles discursifs des lexies des émotions dans cinq langues européennes (allemand, français, anglais, russe et espagnol), ce qui permettrait de mieux structurer le champ lexical des émotions par rapport à ce que proposent les études existantes en lexicologie et lexicographie. Cette « cartographie » aboutira au développement d'applications nouvelles en didactiques des langues étrangères, en lexicographie et en TAL. Il proposera de nouveaux matériaux didactiques pour l'enseignement / apprentissage des associations lexicales privilégiées dans telle ou telle langue (par ex. /rouge de colère/, /red with rage, rot vor Wut/) dans le but d'une meilleure acquisition des collocations, d'un réemploi systématique dans une activité de production de texte ou de communication orale. Grâce à une modélisation des phénomènes combinatoires du lexique des émotions, il contribuera à améliorer les microstructures du dictionnaire où il est difficile d'intégrer des contextes larges. Il permettra enfin d'améliorer les applications logicielles existantes pour la recherche d'occurrences et de structures syntaxiques dans de grands corpus multilingues et de créer de nouveaux outils encore plus performants. Emolex réunit les compétences de linguistes, didacticiens et spécialistes en TAL.

The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is an international distributed Master of Science course, in cooperation with the computer science departments in the following universities: * Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy * Technische Universitaet Dresden, Germany * Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal * Technische Universitaet Wien, Austria Within this program, completely in English, students will spend the first semester of the first year at the Technische Universitaet Dresden (TUD), the second semester of the first year at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (FUB), and the second year in one of the 4 partner universities chosen by the student. After this, the student will obtain a joint European Master of Science degree. APPLICATION DEADLINE: - *** 15 May 2010 *** deadline for European and non-European students (notification of acceptance: 15 June 2008) SCHOLARSHIPS & MONEY SUPPORT: Several scholarships (all including a tuition/enrolment fee waiver) are offered by the EMCL to the best students for the duration of the master program: a FULL scholarship of 750 EUR per month; a SMALL scholarship of 200 EUR per month; and a SIMPLE tuition/enrolment fee waiver. European students will get a LLP Socrates Erasmus scholarship for the second year of study, corresponding to 330 EUR per month. European citizens can apply to scholarships which are granted purely on the basis of the yearly income of the applicant and of her/his parents or husband/wife. This scholarship is only for the year of study at FUB and it may amount up to more than 6,000 EUR per academic year, plus support on the accommodation and a tuition/enrolment fee waiver. These scholarships are also available to non-European citizens with residence in Italy. Check the web page for detailed info on other available scholarships: http://www.computational-logic.eu 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, 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 (Laurea triennale) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or other relevant disciplines; special cases will be considered. The programme is part of the Master in Computer Science (Laurea Specialistica in Informatica) and it has various strengths that make it unique amongst Italian and European universities: * Curriculum taught entirely in English: The programme 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. * Other specialisations with streams in the hottest Computer Science areas, such as Web Technologies, Information and Knowledge Management, Databases and Software Engineering. * 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 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). THE FREE UNIVERSITY OF BOZEN-BOLZANO: The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, founded in 1997, boasts modern premises in the centre of Bozen-Bolzano. The environment is multilingual, South Tyrol being a region where three languages are spoken: German, Italian and Ladin. Studying in a multilingual area has shown that our students acquire the cutting edge needed in the international business world. Many of our teaching staff hails from abroad. Normal lectures are complemented with seminars, work placements and laboratory work, which give our students a vocational as well as theoretical training, preparing them for their subsequent professional careers. Studying at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano means, first and foremost, being guided all the way through the student's educational career. Bozen-Bolzano, due to its enviable geographical position in the centre of the Dolomites, also offers our students a multitude of opportunities for spending their free-time. The city unites the traditional with the modern. Young people and fashionable shops throng the city centre where ancient mercantile buildings are an attractive backdrop to a city that is in continual growth. To the south there is the industrial and manufacturing area with prosperous small and medium-sized businesses active in every economic sector. Back in the 17th century Bozen-Bolzano was already a flourishing mercantile city that, thanks to its particular geographic position, functioned as a kind of bridge between northern and southern Europe. As a multilingual town and a cultural centre Bozen-Bolzano still has a lot to offer today. Its plethora of theatres, concerts with special programmes, cinemas and museums, combined with a series of trendy night spots that create local colour make Bozen-Bolzano a city that is beginning to cater for its increasingly demanding student population. And if you fancy a very special experience, go and visit the city's favourite and most famous resident - "Oetzi", the Ice Man of Similaun, housed in his very own refrigerated room in the recently opened archaeological museum. Bozen-Bolzano and its surroundings are an El Dorado for sports lovers: jogging on the grass alongside the River Talfer-Talvera, walks to Jenesien-S.Genesio and on the nearby Schlern-Sciliar plateau, excursions and mountain climbing in the Dolomites, swimming in the numerous nearby lakes and, last but not least, skiing and snowboarding in the surrounding ski areas.

Toutes nos excuses pour les réceptions multiples. Dernier appel à communication pour les 21èmes Journées francophones d’Ingénierie des Connaissances se tiendront à Nîmes du du 8 au 11 juin 2010 http://www.ic2010.mines-ales.fr/ Suite à de nombreuses demandes de la part d’auteurs potentiels, la date de soumission est reportée au 08/02/2010 Placée sous l’égide du GRACQ (Groupe de Recherche en Acquisition des Connaissances), la conférence IC constitue un lieu d’échanges et de réflexions de la communauté francophone sur les problématiques de l’ingénierie des connaissances. Organisées chaque année depuis 1997, les 21èmes Journées francophones d’Ingénierie des Connaissances se tiendront à Nîmes dans les locaux du site de l’Ecole des Mines d'Alès du 8 au 11 juin 2010. La journée du 8 juin sera consacrée aux ateliers. L’essor des Sciences et Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication, notamment des technologies du Web, dans l’ensemble de la société engendre des mutations dans les pratiques individuelles et collectives. L’ingénierie des connaissances contribue à cette évolution, en offrant des méthodes pour l’élaboration de modèles de connaissances à des fins d’opérationnalisation. Ces modèles relèvent de différentes catégories. Ils décrivent par exemple les connaissances métiers, les processus cognitifs associés au raisonnement et les processus collaboratifs. Des méthodes et des systèmes sont également conçus pour la gestion des connaissances au sens large (acquisition, structuration, représentation, exploitation, exploration, visualisation et diffusion). La liste non exhaustive des thèmes de l’édition 2010 d’IC comporte : - Modèles de connaissances : conception, réutilisation, évolution, évaluation, exploitation - Ontologies : types d’ontologies, intégration et alignement, rôle des ontologies de référence - Représentation des connaissances - Traitements et raisonnements sur les connaissances - Acquisition de connaissances à partir de textes - Web sémantique, web social - Connaissance et réseaux sociaux sur le web - Ingénierie des systèmes à base de connaissances - Inférence et règles métier : acquisition conception, réutilisation, évolution, évaluation, exploitations - Conception d'interactions et interfaces avec des systèmes à base de connaissances - Visualisation de connaissances - Applications : applications en santé, industrielles, éducation, juridique, etc. - Activités coopératives, pratiques collectives et distribuées - Développements théoriques et interdisciplinaires de l'ingénierie des connaissances Dates importantes Date limite de soumission : 08/02/2010 Notification aux auteurs : 15/03/2010 Réception des versions définitives : 19/04/2010 Sylvie Despres – Présidente du Comité de programme Michel Crampes -

While easily mastered by native speakers, their interpretation poses a major challenge for automated analysis due to their flexible and heterogeneous nature. Therefore, the automated processing of MWEs is desirable for any natural language application that involves some degree of semantic interpretation, e.g., Machine Translation, Information Extraction, and Question Answering. In spite of the recent advances in the field, there is a wide range of open problems that prevent MWE treatment techniques from full integration in current NLP systems. In MWE'2010, we will be interested in major challenges in the overall process of MWE treatment, asking for original research related but not limited to the following topics: * MWE resources: Although underused in most current state-of-the-art approaches, resources are key for developing real-world applications capable of interpreting MWEs. We call for papers describing the process of building MWE resources, constructed both manually and automatically from text corpora; we are also interested in assessing the usability of such resources in various MWE tasks. * Hybrid approaches: We invite research on integrating heterogeneous MWE treatment techniques and resources in NLP applications. Such hybrid approaches can aim, for example, at the combination of results from symbolic and statistical approaches, at the fusion of manually built and automatically extracted resources, or at the design of language learning techniques. * Domain adaptation: Real-world NLP applications need to be robust to deal with texts coming from different domains. We thus call for papers assessing the performance of MWE methods across domains or describing domain adaptation techniques for MWEs. * Multilingualism: Parallel and comparable corpora are gaining popularity as a resource for automatic MWE discovery and treatment. We are also interested in the integration of MWE processing in multilingual applications such as machine translation and multi-lingual information retrieval, as well as in porting existing monolingual MWE approaches to new languages. SUBMISSIONS We invite submissions of original and unpublished work as full papers. All submissions must follow the COLING 2010 formatting requirements (available soon at www.coling-2010.org ). Reviewing will be double-blind, and thus no author information should be included in the papers; self-reference should be avoided as well. Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings and will be presented orally.

The conference will be held 11-16 July, 2010 in Uppsala, Sweden. The program chairs have been especially interested in seeing good submissions to the conference in the area, which has been underrepresented in the past. As a result, they have made changes to the reviewing process to allow for reviewing criteria appropriate for different types of papers, as described in the Call for Papers: The above categories include types of papers that have not typically been part of the ACL conference program. Since the appropriate criteria for evaluating papers is not identical for the above categories (and subcategories), ACL 2010 will use a different review form for each category of paper, with the review form tailored to the type of submission. For example, the review criteria for an applications/systems research paper will include whether a substantive evaluation or user experiments are reported and whether a demo will be available at the conference, whereas the review form for a theoretical computational linguistics research paper will include a different set of review criteria. http://acl2010.org/papers.html I urge you to submit your excellent work in the area to the conference. Deadline for both long and short papers is 15 February, 2010. Further information about the ACL 2010 conference can be found at http://acl2010.org/.

Ensuring that language resources be a part of a sustainable and endurable living process represents a multi-faceted challenge that certainly calls for well-planned anti-neglecting actions to be put into action by the different actors participating in the process. Clearing all IPR issues, exploiting best practices at specification and production time are just a few samples of such actions. Sustainability and lifecycle management issues are thus concepts that should be addressed before endeavouring into any serious LR production. When thinking of long-term LRs a number of aspects come to our minds which do not always succeed to be taken into account before development. Some of these aspects are /usability/, /accessibility, interoperability/ and /scalability/, which inevitably call for a long list of neglected points that would need to be taken into account at a very early stage of development. Looking further into the /portability/ and /scalability/ of a language resource, a number of dimensions should be taken into account to ensure that a language resource reaches its adult life in an active and productive way. An aspect that is often neglected is the /accessibility/ and thus /secured reusability/ of a language resource. Institutions such as ELRA (European Language resources Association) and LDC (Linguistic Data Consortium), at a European and American level, respectively, as well as BAS (Bavarian Archive for Speech Signals) and TST-Centrale (Flemish-Dutch Human Language Technology Agency), at a language-specific level, have worked on these aspects for a large number of years. Through their different activities, they have successfully implemented a sharing policy which allows different users to gain access to already existing resources. Other emerging programmes such as CLARIN (Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure) are also looking into these aspects. Nevertheless, many resources still follow development without a long-term accessibility plan into place which makes impossible to gain access once the resource is finished. This accessibility plan should consider issues such as ownership rights, licensing, types of use, aiming for a wide community from the very beginning. This accessibility plan calls for an optimal co-operation between all actors (LR users, financing bodies, owners, developers and organisations) so that issues related to the life of a LR are well established, roles and actors are clearly identified within the cycle and best practices are defined towards the management of the entire LR lifecycle. We are aware, though, that these above-presented ideas are but a take-off for discussion. It is at this point that we would like to invite the community to participate in this workshop and share with us their views on these and other relevant issues of concern. A fruitful discussion could lead us to finding new mechanisms to support perpetuating language resources, and may lead us towards a sustainability model that guarantees an appropriate and well-defined LR storyboard and lifecycle management plan in the future. Among the many issues and topics that may be presented and discussed during this workshop, we would like to already suggest the following: - Which fields require LRs and which are their respective needs? - What needs to be part of a LR storyboard? What points are we missing in its design? - General specifications vs. detailed specifications and design - Annotation frameworks and layers: interoperable at all? - Should creation and provision of LRs be included in higher education curriculae? - How to plan for scalable resources? - Language Resource maintenance and improvement: feasible? - Sharing language resources: how to bear this in mind and implement it? Logistics of the sharing: online vs. offline - Centralised vs. decentralised, and national vs. international management and maintenance of LRs - What happens when users create updated or derived LRs? - Sharing language resources: legal issues concerned - Sharing language resources: pricing issues concerned, commercial vs. non-commercial use - Do LR actors work in a synchronised manner? - What should be the roles of the different actors? - What are the business models and arrangements for IPRs? - Self-supporting vs. subsidised LR organisations - Other general problems faced by the community We solicit papers that address these questions and other related issues relevant to the workshop. *Workshop Programme and Audience Addressed* This full-day workshop aims to address all those involved with language resources at some point of their research/work (LR users, producers, ...) and all those with an interest in the different aspects involved, whether universities, companies or funding agencies of some nature. It aims to be a meeting and discussion point for the so many bottlenecks surrounding the life of a resource and which remain to be addressed with a sustainability plan. The workshop features two invited talks, opening the morning and afternoon sessions, submitted papers, and will conclude with a round table to brainstorm on the issues raised during the presentations and the individual discussions. This round table will be run by a number of experts already experienced in some of the highlighted problems and in open discussion with the workshop participants. In short, this workshop will result in a plan of action towards a sustainability and lifecycle management plan to implement. *Invited Speakers* To be announced on the workshop web site. * * *Organising Committee* Victoria Arranz (Evaluations and Language resources Distribution Agency (ELDA) / European Language resources Association (ELRA), France) Khalid Choukri (ELDA - Evaluations and Language resources Distribution Agency / ELRA - European Language resources Association, France) Christopher Cieri (LDC - Linguistic Data Consortium, USA) Laura van Eerten (Flemish-Dutch HLT Agency, Instituut voor Nederlandse Lexicologie, The Netherlands) Bente Maegaard (CST, University of Copenhagen, Denmark) Stelios Piperidis (ILSP -- Institute for Language and Speech Processing / ELRA - European Language resources Association, France) Remco van Veenendaal (Flemish-Dutch HLT Agency, Instituut voor Nederlandse Lexicologie, The Netherlands) *Programme Committee* N?ria Bel (Institut Universitari de Ling??stica Aplicada, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain) Nicoletta Calzolari (Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale del CNR (ILC-CNR) -- Italy) Jean Carletta (Human Communication Research Centre, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, UK) Catia Cucchiarini (Nederlandse Taalunie, The Netherlands) Christoph Draxler (Bavarian Archive for Speech Signals, Institute of Phonetics and Speech Processing (BAS), Germany) Maria Gavrilidou (Institute for Language and Speech Processing (ILSP), Greece) Nancy Ide (Department of Computer Science, Vassar College, USA) Steven Krauwer (UiL OTS, Utretch University, The Netherlands) Asunci?n Moreno (Universitat Polit?cnica de Catalunya (UPC), Spain) Dirk Roorda (Data Archiving and Networked Services, The Netherlands) Ineke Schuurman (Centre for Computational Linguistics, Catholic University Leuven, Belgium) Claudia Soria (Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale del CNR (ILC-CNR) -- Italy) Stephanie M.

As a result, the professionalism and the credibility of these texts are often affected. In spite of the major progress of text editors in terms of error correction, there is still a long way to go before such systems can effectively help non-native authors produce texts which are fluid and natural. With the growth of international communication, e.g. via emails, blogs, web pages, etc., there is an obvious need for efficient tools that help authors to write in a variety of languages. Speakers of languages which are structurally and lexically very different from English often encounter tremendous difficulties in writing documents in this language. In these cases, the use of transfer strategies can be widespread. When looking at the variety of errors produced by authors, whatever their age, profession, target audience, etc., we notice that errors are encountered across the whole range of linguistic areas: morphology, lexicon, syntax and grammar, semantics and stylistics. Attention must be paid to documents which might use specialist language, as this could be the source of "false positives", or abusive correction of a number of segments. Besides what can be observed where major text editors are concerned, error analysis and correction is an area which is becoming very active again. This is probably due to the emergence of widespread lexical resources, and to more advanced language processing techniques. We would like this workshop to be a meeting point for didacticians, second language acquisition practitioners, cognitive linguists, as well as for NLP practitioners, resource developers, users and application providers. Finally, in order to improve communication and inter-disciplinary cooperation, we intend the workshop to include regular talks, discussions and a panel that would be a first step in defining a roadmap in this rapidly growing area. The main topics are (but are not limited to): - Linguistic and conceptual aspects : (1) error analysis, in particular: classification of errors, processing of stylistics errors, (2) mental lexicons, mentalist grammar aspects and error production, semantics and the lexicon, (3) psycholinguistic aspects, such as transfer strategies, overgeneralization, analysis of error production, etc. - Corpus-related problematics: (1) methods for the construction of dedicated corpora and their validation, (2) analysis of types of corpora (learner corpora, corpus of technical productions, emails, etc.), (3) corpus validation techniques. - Corpus annotation: (1) error annotation techniques, (2) definition of guidelines and norms for annotating errors and their characteristics, (3) annotator training. - Correction methods: (1) detection, diagnosis and correction techniques, (2) ambiguity and multiple correction management, (3) collaborative approaches to correction, generation of tutorials, (4) machine learning techniques, (5) error correction and reasoning aspects, dedicated inference forms. - Resources for error correction and learning: (1) lexicons, grammars, ontologies, (2) use of the web as a corpus (3) lexical semantics aspects. - Didactic aspects: (1) production of explanations and argumentation schemes (e.g. for or against a certain correction), ergonomy of explanations, planning, (2) user interactions and question-answering; - Evaluation methods; - Applications: (1) improved correction systems, (2) writing assistants (mono or multilingual), (3) integration and interoperability, scalability.

Alexandra Volanschi , Universit? Paris Diderot, France David Wible, National Central University, Taiwan Dates and workshop organization, paper submission Dates and submission deadlines will be defined according to LREC guidelines. All accepted papers (long and short) will be published in the workshop proceedings. Tentative schedule: Submission deadline: February 18th Acceptance/rejection: March 8th Final paper due: March 17th Submission When submitting a paper from the START page at: https://www.softconf.com/lrec2010/ECOMS2010/ authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. The goal of this workshop is to enhance cooperation between participants with different backgrounds. Contributors must be open to interactions with the different workshop areas. The program committee will be careful to have a balanced number of participants from the different areas concerned. Although papers will obviously have a dominant theme, it is important that they contain material from at least two disciplines of the workshop (AI, NLP, language resources, didactics, corpus construction, evaluation techniques ...). To encourage an atmosphere appropriate for a workshop, we plan to: - have a 15mn discussion at the end of each session, - have a panel (e.g. defining elements of a road map) and an invited speaker, - plan demos on portable machines. Submission format We welcome short papers (max. 3 pages), describing projects or ongoing research and long papers (max. 6 pages), that relate more established results. Papers must be sent in .pdf format. The format to use for papers and abstracts is the same as for LREC main conference. The title page (no separate title page is needed, we do not require anonymous submissions) should include the following information: - Title - Authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses - Topic(s) of the above list, as appropriate - Abstract (short summary up to 5 lines) Submission page link: XX Contact persons (co-chairs) Patrick Saint-Dizier IRIT-CNRS, IRIT 118 route de Narbonne 31062 Toulouse cedex France.

Elle a consacr? de nombreux travaux ? la question du figement. Elle a ?galement de nombreuses publications ? son actif qui concernent la syntaxe des Langues romanes, en particulier dans le domaine de la grammaticalisation. Tout francophone conna?t le sens d'expressions comme tirer le diable par la queue ou cacher son jeu. Mais qui, en France, comprend tomber avec son derri?re dans le beurre ('avoir de la chance'), utilis?e en Belgique, y aller aux bines ('aller tr?s vite'), courante au Qu?bec, ou encore ?a va pas le chalet ! ('c'est insens? !'), qui se dit en Suisse ? A l'inverse, sait-on que, hors de l'Hexagone, des expressions telles que se faire appeler Arthur ou peigner la girafe ne sont gu?re connues ? De m?me qu'il y a des belgicismes, des qu?b?cismes et des helv?tismes, il existe des francismes. L'int?r?t des locutions fig?es n'est plus ? d?montrer : massivement pr?sentes dans la langue de tous les jours. elles sont une source de difficult?s tant pour le traitement automatique du langage que pour l'enseignement des langues vivantes. La d?marche adopt?e est innovante : les expressions sont d?crites non seulement du point de vue de leur sens, l'aspect le plus marquant pour les usagers, mais aussi de leur syntaxe et de leur usage pragmatique. L'?tude inclut ainsi une s?rie de phrases fig?es usuelles ? l'oral qui constituent de simples routines conversationnelles, telles que Tu parles !, Il faut le faire ! T'occupe pas du chapeau de la gamine, etc. La variation g?ographique est syst?matiquement prise en compte. Les expressions sont class?es selon qu'elles sont communes aux quatre vari?t?s de la francophonie consid?r?es (constituant ainsi le v?ritable stock idiomatique du fran?ais commun), sp?cifiques ? une seule d'entre elles, ou partag?es par deux ou trois des vari?t?s. Co-auteurs de l'ouvrage, locuteurs natifs d'une des vari?t?s ?tudi?es ici : Jean-Ren? Klein (Universit? de Louvain-UCL), Jacques Labelle (Universit? du Qu?bec ?

This workshop follows similar events held at LREC 00, 02, 04, 06, 08. 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 and SSPNet. Furthermore, the success of recent conferences and workshops dedicated to multimodal communication (ICMI-MLMI, IVA, Gesture, PIT, Nordic Symposium on Multimodal Communication, Embodied Language Processing) and the creation of the Journal of Multimodal User Interfaces also testify to the growing interest in this area, and the general need for data on multimodal behaviours. The 2010 full-day workshop is planned to result in a significant follow-up publication, similar to previous post-workshop publications like the 2008 special issue of the Journal of Language Resources and Evaluation and the 2009 state-of-the-art book published by Springer. AIMS In 2010, we are aiming for a wide cross-section of the field, with contributions on collection efforts, coding, validation and analysis methods, as well as actual tools and applications of multimodal corpora. However, we want to put emphasis on the fact that there have been significant advances in capture technology that make highly accurate data available to the broader research community. Examples are the tracking of face, gaze, hands, body and the recording of articulated full-body motion using motion capture. These data are much more accurate and complete than simple videos that are traditionally used in the field and therefore, will have a lasting impact on multimodality research. However, the richness of the signals and the complexity of the recording process urgently call for an exchange of state-of-the-art information regarding recording and coding practices, new visualization and coding tools, advances in automatic coding and analyzing corpora. TOPICS This LREC 2010 workshop on multimodal corpora will feature a special session on databases of motion capture, trackers, inertial sensors, biometric devices and image processing. Other 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.) and descriptions of existing multimodal resources * Relations between modalities in natural (human) interaction and in human-computer interaction * 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) * Collaborative coding * Metadata descriptions of multimodal corpora * Automatic annotation, based e.g. on motion capture or image processing, and the integration with manual annotations * Corpus-based design of multimodal and multimedia systems, in particular systems that involve human-like modalities either in input (Virtual Reality, motion capture, etc.) and output (virtual characters) * Automated multimodal fusion and/or generation (e.g., coordinated speech, gaze, gesture, facial expressions) * Machine learning applied to multimodal data * Multimodal dialogue modelling IMPORTANT DATES * Deadline for paper submission (complete paper): 12 February 2010 * Notification of acceptance: 10 March * Final version of accepted paper: 26 March * Final program: 7 April * Final proceedings: 14 April * Workshop: 18 May SUBMISSIONS The workshop will consist primarily of paper presentations and discussion/working sessions.

Thanks for forwarding the information on this Call for Submissions to those potentially interested to submit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Matching and Meaning: Automated development, evolution and interpretation of ontologies http://dream.inf.ed.ac.uk/events/wmm-2010 31st March 2010, part of AISB'10 Convention, Leicester, UK OVERVIEW The problem of semantic misalignment - of two (or more) systems failing to understand one another when their semantic representation is not identical - occurs in a huge variety of areas: the Semantic Web, databases, natural language processing; anywhere, indeed, where semantics are necessary but centralised control is undesirable or impractical. In highly dynamic domains, where interactions are between a large, diverse and evolving community, there is a need for the resolving of these misalignments - through developing and evolving existing ontologies or interpreting unknown ontologies in terms of known ones - to be done automatically and on-the-fly. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested in the problems of automated development, evolution and interpretation of ontologies in the many different domains in which it occurs. We are primarily interested in the exchange of ideas and the stimulation of debate, and the workshop is intended to be a forum for researchers to present ongoing work and ideas and to engage in discussion with other researchers from the field. We are particularly interested in novel ideas and innovative research, which may be in its early stages, and encourage reports on work in progress. Topics of interest include: * Ontology evolution * Ontology matching and alignment * Ontology versioning * Representational or structural change * Formal aspects of ontology dynamics * Formalisation of and reasoning with contexts * Foundational issues * Social and collaborative matching * Background knowledge in matching * Extensions to ontology languages to better support change * Non-monotonic reasoning for ontologies and the Semantic Web * Inconsistency handling in evolving ontologies * Uncertainty in matching * Change propagation in ontologies and metadata * Ontologies for dynamic environments * Dynamic knowledge construction and exploitation * Matching for dynamic applictions (e.g., p2p, agents, web-services) * Case studies, software tools, use cases, applications * Open problems SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We encourage the submission of extended abstracts of 2-5 pages that discuss ongoing research, problem descriptions and overviews of the domain. Accepted papers will be included in the AISB 2010 proceedings unless the authors prefer them not to be (for example, if the work is very similar to work presented elsewhere which they nevertheless feel it would be valuable to present in this context, or if the work is at a stage where discussion would be valuable but publication would be premature). Authors wishing their submissions to be included in the convention proceedings must follow the style guide on the convention website. Submissions will be subject to light reviewing, mainly intended to check fit to workshop. Abstracts should be submitted electronically in pdf format to mchan-at-ed.ac.uk by 15th January 2010. Notification of acceptance will be sent to the submitting author on 15th February 2010. VENUE The workshop will take place at De Montfort University in Leicester, as part of the AISB 2010 Convention (http://www.aisb.org.uk/convention/aisb10/), from March 31st to 1st April, 2010. All workshop participants must be registered for the AISB 2010 Convention. Registration for this workshop is included in the convention registration fee. IMPORTANT DATES Submission: *Friday, 15th January 2010* Notification: Monday, 15th February 2010 Workshop: 31st March - 1st April 2010 AISB10 Convention: 29th March - 1st April 2010 PROGRAMME Presentations: Authors of accepted abstracts will give presentations of their work; exact times to be decided. Posters: If it is not possible to fit in presentations for all accepted authors, some may be asked to present posters instead. There will be a session of 5 minute poster talks. Panel: The technical programme will end with a 90 minute panel discussion on a topic of mutual interest to be decided. Three speakers will speak for 10 minutes each with a brief to stimulate debate during the remaining 60 minutes. Discussion amongst all participants, rather than question-and-answering for the panel, will be strongly encouraged.

We hope to leverage results achieved since that workshop and advance the state of the art. There is currently great interest in the extraction and management of structured information from unstructured text -- a need that continues to grow with ever increasing production of unstructured information. Much of the information extracted focuses on people, and this information must be managed -- and searchable -- when stored in a structured repository. This workshop will address the intersection of the name/record matching, entity resolution, and entity management problems, with a focus on evaluation methodologies suited to such systems and the language resources necessary both to perform these tasks and to evaluate them. Whereas entity extraction systems are usually evaluated using MUC methodology, for example, the case is less clear for these "follow-on" technologies. Even a seemingly simple task such as matching person names in a database context is problematic, and although *name* or *record* matching systems can be evaluated using IR evaluation methodologies (? la CLEF or TREC), there are still interesting methodological issues to resolve before we can refer to a "standard" evaluation methodology for name/record matching. Moreover, it is much less clear how to effectively evaluate *identity* matching, resolution, and management systems, or even what it means to perform an effective identity match. We solicit papers discussing state-of-the-art approaches to name and record matching, identity resolution, and identity management, as well as novel proposals for methodologies to evaluate these technologies. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: ? Research in name / record matching ? Research in entity disambiguation / resolution / deconfliction ? Descriptions of systems or best practices for entity management ? Descriptons of systems that incorporate entity resolution as an essential component ? Evaluation of record matching, entity disambiguation, or entity management in context ? Resources for identity matching, identity resolution, or identity management ? Resources for evaluation of these technologies Position papers on the evaluation and integration of identity resolution technologies will also be considered for acceptance. Although we are distributing a call for papers and there will be papers accepted for presentation at the workshop, this workshop will not be a "mini-conference". Rather, this workshop will be an interactive and dynamic event. Presentations will serve to introduce topics for discussion and to shape the day. A significant portion of time will be devoted to interactive exercises, brainstorming, and other "work." The workshop will be organized such that all attendees (including the organizers) leave the workshop more informed---having made progress toward a contextualized and principled evaluation of identity matching, resolution, and management systems---as well as more connected, having begun interactive discussions that will continue after the conference. _Organizing Committee:_ Keith J.

In addition, the increasingly availability of semantically interpreted data in the WEB 3.0 is creating a huge impact in semantic technology. Social media applications such as Delicious, Flikr, You tube, Facebook, provide us with data in the form of tags and interactions among users. We believe that the exploitation of semantic data (emerging both from the Semantic Web and from social media) and language resources will drive the next generation eLearning platforms. The integration of these technologies within eLearning applications should also facilitate access to learning material in developing economies. The workshop aims at bringing together computational linguists, language resources developers, knowledge engineers, social media researchers and researchers involved in technology-enhanced learning as well as developers of eLearning material, ePublishers and eLearning practitioners. It will provide a forum for interaction among members of different research communities, and a means for attendees to increase their knowledge and understanding of the potential of language resources in eLearning. We will especially target eLearning practitioners in the Mediterranean Partner Countries. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1.? Relevance of language resources, semantic data (i.e. ontologies, social media data) and tools in eLearning; ? Use of social media applications and social networks in enhancing eLearning; ? Methods to link semantic description of learning objects to semantic web data; ? Ontology Design in the eLearning domain; 2.? Different methods of employing LRs such as written and spoken corpora, grammars, lexicons, and linguistic databases in eLearning; 3.? Use of multilingual language resources in facilitating knowledge exchange within eLearning applications; 4.? Use of language and speech technology for improvement of language learning applications; ? Use of language and speech technology to provide feedback in eLearning applications; ? Exploitation of semantic data and language resources for the development of intelligent functionalities in eLearning systems; ? Collaborative development of semantic data describing learning objects; ? Methods to re-use linked data in the development of learning objects; ? eLearning applications enhanced with language technology tools and semantic data in facilitating education access in Mediterranean partner countries. /_ _/ *Submissions* * * Abstracts should be 5 pages long and submitted through the START Conference Manager submission site: https://www.softconf.com/lrec2010/E-learning2010/ Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and should adhere to the style sheet.

Sincerely, CL-A Organizing Committee **************************************************************** Computational Linguistics - Applications (CLA'10) Wisla, Poland, October 18-20, 2010 http://CLA2010.imcsit.org **************************************************************** If you have your account at Facebook you can also join a group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=212819479326 **************************************************************** Workshop Goals ================================ The Computational Linguistics - Applications Workshop was created in 2008 in response to the fast-paced progress in the area. Traditionally, computational linguistics was limited to the scientists specialized in the processing of a natural language by computers. Scientific approaches and practical techniques come from linguistics, computer science, psychology, and mathematics. Nowadays, there is a number of practical applications available. These applications are sometimes developed by smart yet NLP-untrained developers who solve the problems using sophisticated heuristics. Computational Linguistics needs to be applied to make the full use of the Internet. There is a definite need for software that can handle unstructured text to allow search for information on the web. According to the European Commission, Human Language Technologies are one of the key research areas for the upcoming years. The priority aim of the research in this area is to enable users to communicate with the computer in their native language. CLA'10 Workshop is a place where the parties meet to exchange views and ideas with a benefit to all involved. The Workshop will focus on practical outcome of modeling human language use and the applications needed to improve human-machine interaction. Paper Topics ================================ This call is for papers that present research and developments on all aspects of Natural Language Processing used in real-life applications, such as (this list is not exhaustive): * information retrieval * extraction of linguistic knowledge from text corpora * semantic ontologies in computer linguistics * lexical resources * machine translation and translation aids * ambiguity resolution * text classification * corpus-based language modeling * POS-tagging * parsing issues * proofing tools * dialogue systems * machine learning methods applied to language processing * ontology and taxonomy evaluation * opinion mining * question answering * sentiment analysis * speech and audio processing * text summarization * use of NLP techniques in practical applications Paper Presentation ================================ The presentation of the paper has to include a demonstration of an existing tool. The papers should include a section describing the tool (or a prototype), which demonstrates the theory discussed in the paper. The presentation is divided into two parts. First, the author(s) shortly demonstrate their tools to the audience. In the second part, the authors discuss their work with other participants and let the audience test their software. Papers will be evaluated and accepted on the basis of their technical merit, usefulness of the real life application and relevance to the workshop scope by the CLA'10 Program Committee. The paper will be assessed by academics as well as industry representatives in order to assure fair and balanced assessment. All accepted and presented papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings and included in the IEEE Xplore(r) database. The best demonstrations will be selected to be shown to the general audience of the conference at a plenary session. Papers Submission ================================ * Authors should submit draft papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord file). * The total length of a paper should not exceed 8 pages (IEEE style). IEEE style templates will be available ASAP. * Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the workshop. * Accepted and Presented paper will be published in the Conference Proceedings and included in the IEEE Xplore(r) database. * Organizers reserve right to move accepted papers between IMCSIT events. Important dates ================================ 31.05.2010 (May 31, 2010) - Full paper submission 12.07.2010 (July 12, 2010) - Notification of acceptance 23.08.2010 (August 23, 2010) - Camera-ready version of the accepted paper CLA'09 post conference report ================================ It seems that the motto of our workshop "Show the system in action" has been accepted by the NLP community. This year 33 papers were submitted (90% increase from last year); 19 of them were accepted by the programming committee. 15 papers were presented during the workshop - our guests from Iran or Tunisia seemingly found Poland too far away from their homelands. Still, 11 countries were represented in the workshop, mainly from the Western Europe. The workshop was composed of oral presentations and the demo-poster session. Presentations, given on Tuesday (October, 12th), were divided into three sessions: 1. Information Retrieval, 2. Use of NLP Tools In practical application, 3. Parsing issues; Linguistic resources. In the evening the audience voted for the best presentations of each of the session as well as the best overall performance. The voters used their mobile phones and the result were known immediately - to the chairman. The winners were presented officially at the Gala Ceremony (In the Oscar Ceremony fashion). The Information Retrieval session was one by Igor Leturia from Spain - or rather his virtual agent who could fluently answer any question posed in the Basque language. The session on Practical Applications was won by Eric Wehrli from Switzerland and his micro-scanner that read German texts and translated them into English. Parsing issues were best presented by charming Katarzyna Moroz from Poznan (Poland) who convinced the audience that her new parsing algorithm using pregroup grammars will soon outperform existing ones. And finally, after the three nominees had been presented, the Oscar went to...Spain. The demo-poster session took place on Wednesday morning. It looked as if the participants had not celebrated too long into the Tuesday night - at 9 a.m. almost all of them were ready to put their applications under the pressure of real tests. Well, the winner did not understand the chairman's Basque too well... she obviously preferred her master, Igor. **************************************************************** CLA - where science meets reality ! **************************************************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 UNIV-PARIS13.FR Fri Jan 8 21:34:28 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2010 22:34:28 +0100 Subject: Appel: IC 2010 Message-ID: Date: Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:43:11 +0100 From: Sylvie Despres Message-ID: <4B44BD9F.50701 at univ-paris13.fr> X-url: http://www.ic2010.mines-ales.fr/ Merci de diffuser largement.

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. Modules for a dozen languages are already available for free download: Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, English, French, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese Greek and Spanish. A dozen other modules are under construction. The conference intends to ? give NooJ users and researchers in Linguistics and in Computational Linguistics the opportunity to meet and share their experience as developers, researchers and teachers; ? present to NooJ users the latest linguistic resources and NLP applications developed for/with NooJ, its latest functionalities, as well as its future developments; ? offer researchers and graduate students two tutorials (one basic and one advanced) to help them parse corpora and build NLP applications using NooJ. ? be the occasion to present and discover the recent developments of NooJ itself (v2.0). *Topics of interest* Syntactic analysis Lexical analysis Linguistic resources Dictionaries *Submission* We invite the submission of papers until 17 January 2010 in English. The abstracts should contain the title, the name, the institution and the email of the author(s). Abstracts should not exceed one page (between 400 and 600 words) and should be submitted at the Conference web page http://nooj2010.helit.duth.gr/. All proposals will be reviewed by the scientific committee and authors will be given notice of acceptance of their papers no later than 28 February 2010.

Cette complexit? est li?e aux multiples points de vue, repr?sentations, dimensions et aux approches multiples d'analyse et d'interpr?tation. Pour relever le d?fi du traitement de la complexit? dans de nombreux domaines scientifiques, des interactions entre diverses disciplines sont indispensables. Le document a ?t? un objet d'?tude au cour des travaux de nombreuses communaut?s scientifiques (litt?raires, SHS, informatiques et technologiques) et l'intensification de l'usage du num?rique ne fait que renforcer ce ph?nom?ne. La recherche d'information automatis?e par exemple a d?s les ann?es 70 r?sult? de travaux combinant les sciences de l'information, les math?matiques et l'informatique. Dans les ann?es 80, les coop?rations entre linguistes et informaticiens ont apport? des ?l?ments fondamentaux de traitements plus fins ; plus r?cemment des interactions fructueuses entre ing?nierie des connaissances et recherche d'information ont conduit ? la recherche s?mantique, celles entre math?maticiens, informaticiens et sociologues permettent des avanc?es dans le domaine des r?seaux sociaux. De nombreux autres domaines scientifiques n?cessitent une approche compl?mentaire issue de diverses disciplines. Nous pouvons par exemple citer l'analyse de discours, l'apprentissage en ligne dans lesquels sciences humaines, ergonomie, math?matique, informatique . ont chacune leur contribution. Objectif: --------- La pluridisciplinarit?, pourtant essentielle, n'est pas toujours clairement exhib?e dans les publications car le plus souvent les revues/conf?rences sont organis?es par communaut?s scientifiques ; les r?sultats sont ainsi pr?sent?s selon un des points de vue disciplinaire. Dans ce num?ro sp?cial nous souhaitons offrir un espace dans lequel les travaux sont pr?sent?s en mettant justement en avant la d?marche pluridisciplinaire qui a ?t? suivie. Ainsi, notre objectif dans ce num?ro sp?cial sera de faire le point sur l'avanc?e des recherches dans les domaines ou les applications pour lesquels une forte interaction de plusieurs disciplines est n?cessaire. Les articles propos?s porteront sur les th?mes (liste non exhaustive) : Analyse de discours, Analyse d'opinion, Applications m?dicales, Apprentissage en ligne, r?seaux sociaux, Veille scientifique. Les soumissions devront faire ?tat de collaborations entre diverses disciplines (ergonomie, informatique, linguistique, math?matique, psychologie, science de l'information, sociologie, etc.) Comit? de r?daction du num?ro: -------------------------------- - Bernard Dousset, IRIT, Universit? de Toulouse - V?ronique Eglin, LIRIS, INSA, Lyon - B?n?dicte Le Grand, LIP6, Paris - Adeline Nazarenko, LIPN, Universit?

Passant en revue tant les aspects de contenu que de ? contenant ?, elle ?met un grand nombre de consid?rations et propositions destin?es aux acteurs aussi bien publics que priv?s, dans le but d'encourager non seulement une meilleure qualit? de la langue fran?aise mais aussi un d?veloppement ?quitable du multilinguisme dans la soci?t? de l'information. Cette recommandation, dont la r?flexion prend la soci?t? fran?aise comme point de d?part n'est n?anmoins pas d?pourvue d'int?r?t pour d'autres soci?t?s confront?es ? des d?fis similaires.

Semantic Web development will therefore be increasingly concerned with knowledge access to and generation in/from multiple languages, i.e., in: - multilingual querying of knowledge repositories and linked data - multilingual knowledge and result presentation in semantic search - multilingual verbalization of ontology structure in ontology engineering - ontology-based information extraction from multilingual text and semi-structured data - ontology learning from multilingual text and semi-structured data Multilinguality is therefore an emerging challenge to Semantic Web development and to its global acceptance ? across language communities around the world. The workshop will therefore be concerned with discussion of new infrastructures, architectures, algorithms etc. that will enable easy adaptation of Semantic Web applications to multiple languages, addressing issues in representation, extraction, integration, presentation etc. Expected Topics - models for the integration of linguistic information with ontologies - architectures and infrastructure for a truly multilingual Semantic Web - models for multilinguality in knowledge representation, in particular OWL and RDF(S) - localization of ontologies to multiple languages, incl. label translation, multilingual terms - adaptation of (multilingual) lexicons to ontologies - automatic integration of (multilingual) lexicons with ontologies - multilingual & cross-lingual ontology-based information extraction & ontology population - multilingual aspects of semantic search & querying of knowledge repositories - multilinguality and linked data (generation, querying, visualization & presentation) - multilingual aspects of ontology verbalization - ontology learning across languages Important Dates February 21st ? submission deadline March 19th ? notification April 1st ? camera-ready deadline April 27th ? workshop Organizing Committee Paul Buitelaar - DERI, National University of Ireland, Galway Philipp Cimiano - Bielefeld University, Germany Elena Montiel-Ponsoda - Universidad Polit?cnica de Madrid, Espa?a Program Committee Guadalupe Aguado de Cea, Universidad Polit?cnica de Madrid - Artificial Intelligence Department, Spain Nathalie Aussenac-Gilles, IRIT, Toulouse - Knowledge Engineering, Cognition and Cooperation, France Timothy Baldwin, Univ. of Melbourne - Language Technology Group, Australia Roberto Basili, Universita Tor Vergata, Rome - Artificial Intelligence group, Italy Chris Bizer, Freie Universit?t Berlin - Web-based Systems Group, Germany Francis Bond, NICT - Language Infrastructure Group, Japan Christopher Brewster, Aston University - Operations and Information Management Group, UK Dan Brickley, Vrije Universiteit & FOAF project, the Netherlands Nicoletta Calzolari, ILC-CNR - Computational Linguistics Institute, Italy Manuel Tomas Carrasco Benitez, European Commission, Luxembourg Key-Sun Choi, KAIST - Semantic Web Research Center, South-Korea Thierry Declerck, DFKI - Language Technology Lab, Germany Aldo Gangemi, ISTC-CNR - Semantic Technology Laboratory, Italy Asuncion G?mez P?rez, Universidad Polit?cnica de Madrid - Artificial Intelligence Department, Spain Gregory Grefenstette, Exalead, France Siegfried Handschuh, DERI, Nat.

DUR?E Les communications seront d'une dur?e de 20 minutes, suivies d'une p?riode de 10 minutes pour les questions. TH?MES L'invention du Web version 2.0 et l'explosion des m?dias de communication facilitent plus que jamais l'acc?s ? l'information et la d?mocratisation de ce dernier. Cependant, cette v?ritable r?volution apporte son lot de probl?mes dans des domaines comme celui du rep?rage de l'information et du forage de donn?es (data mining), pour ne citer que ces derniers. Dans ce contexte, deux strat?gies de recherche semblent les plus aptes ? relever ces nouveaux d?fis : le multilinguisme et la pluridisciplinarit?. Le multilinguisme s'impose du fait que toutes les langues participent d?sormais au Web dans un sens large et non seulement l'anglais comme c'?tait le cas au d?but de cette r?volution informationnelle. Il s'impose ?galement pour des raisons d'?conomie d'effort et de robustesse. Ainsi, les applications d?velopp?es en prenant en compte un plus grand nombre de langues ? la fois s'av?rent plus puissantes que celles qui n'ont ? l'esprit qu'une seule langue. De plus, toute recherche portant sur les ph?nom?nes langagiers ne peut se passer d'une ?tude comparative, une m?thode l?gu?e par la linguistique comparative du XIXe si?cle et fortement privil?gi?e par les courants linguistiques contemporains dans une perspective de grammaire universelle. La pluridisciplinarit? s'impose du fait que le domaine d'?tude n?cessite la ma?trise d'outils, de m?thodes et de notions provenant de plusieurs disciplines scientifiques. Parmi ces derni?res, citons la linguistique (th?orique et appliqu?e), les sciences cognitives, l'intelligence artificielle et l'informatique sans oublier la logique, les statistiques, la psychologie et la philosophie. Les conf?rences peuvent porter sur tous les th?mes du traitement automatique des langues et concerner une langue ou plus. Les th?mes pouvant ?tre trait?s s'inscrivent dans les domaines suivants, mais ne s'y limitent pas : Fondements - Phon?tique et phonologie - Morphologie - Syntaxe - S?mantique - Lexique - lexicom?trie - classification etc. Applications - Enseignement assist? par ordinateur - Extraction de l'information sur le Web - Traduction automatique - Analyse et g?n?ration de textes - R?sum? automatique - Dialogue personne-machine etc. MODALIT?S - Les r?sum?s ne doivent pas d?passer 1500 caract?res (incluant les espaces).

On the other hand, the area of foundations of multi-agent systems is inducing new developments in logics of interaction and information dynamics, with a recent trend towards comparison and integration. Analyzing the impact of this trend on communication and dialogue modeling is timely. This workshop aims at discussing formal theories and logics of information dynamics and interaction and their applications to dialogue and communication modeling. It is intended to bring together logicians, linguists and computer scientists in order to provide a better understanding of the potentialities and limitations of formal methods for the analysis of dialogue and communication. Its scope includes not only the technical aspects of logics, but also multidisciplinary aspects from linguistics, philosophy of language, philosophy of social reality, social sciences (social psychology, economics). The following are some examples of formal theories and logics that are relevant to the workshop (no order): speech act theory, argumentation theory, game theory, public announcement logic, dynamic epistemic logic (DEL), logics of agency and power (e.g. STIT, ATL, Coalition Logic), theories of persuasion, theories of commitment, dynamic semantics, semantic approaches to interrogative clauses, rhetorical approaches to dialogue (e.g., Segmented Discourse Representation Theory). The focus of the workshop will be on recent developments, especially those that combine several approaches (e.g. dynamic epistemic logic and speech act theory, dynamic epistemic logic and segmented discourse representation theory, public announcement logic and commitment theories, STIT and dynamic epistemic logic, Coalition Logic and public announcement logic...) to deal with complex dialogue and communication phenomena. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Invited speakers: Patrick Blackburn, LORIA, INRIA Nancy Jeroen Groenendijk, ILLC, University of Amsterdam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop Organizers: Emiliano Lorini ("lorini at irit.fr") and Laure Vieu ("vieu at irit.fr"), IRIT-CNRS, Toulouse ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop Programme Committee: Nicholas Asher, IRIT-CNRS, Toulouse Guillaume Aucher, Univ. of Luxembourg Alexandru Baltag, Oxford Univ.

Pour l'ATALA l'ann?e ?coul?e fut glorieuse gr?ce ? la comm?moration du cinquantenaire de l'association. Je tiens ? remercier de nouveau toutes celles et ceux qui se sont impliqu?s dans cet ?v?nement, vous toutes et tous qui y avez particip?. Un remerciement tr?s sp?cial ? Laurence Danlos qui a pr?sid? l'organisation de cette journ?e d'une main de reine! De l'avis de tous ce fut une grande r?ussite dont on se souviendra bien longtemps. Rendez-vous est donc pris pour dans 50 ans.Il faut, c?est certain, s?y prendre ? l'avance pour pouvoir faire mieux ! Je peux d'ores et d?j? vous annoncer qu'en 2010 l'ATALA, entre autres choses, ?tendra sa mission ? la labellisation d'?v?nements scientifiques organis?s autour du traitement des langues, ? l'attribution d'un prix de la meilleure th?se en TAL et que TALN 2010 sera co-organis? ? Montr?al par l'Universit? et le Polytechnique. N'oubliez pas de soumettre avant le 22 f?vrier. Bien d'autres choses encore pour cette ann?e 2010 que je vous invite ? d?couvrir au fil des mois sur le site de l'association. Je ne peux que r?p?ter ? quel point c?est l'implication de chacun et chacune d'entre vous qui rend tout cela possible et qui fait que de nombreux pays europ?ens nous envient un tel dynamisme. J?en profite pour remercier les anciens membres du conseil d'administration et en particulier Thomas Lebarb? pour avoir accept? d??tre tr?sorier pendant plusieurs ann?es. Georges Antoniadis, qui lui succ?de, nous l'a confirm?, l'association va bien et les finances sont saines :-) Je souhaite la bienvenue aux nouveaux ?lus qui ont d?j? d?montr? leur ferveur. Enfin, merci ? tout le monde, pour m'avoir renouvel? votre confiance. Cela me touche beaucoup. J'en arrive maintenant, vous vous y attendiez, ? la partie plus int?ress?e de mon message. Comme cette ann?e Atalienne sera plac?e sous le signe du Qu?bec je m'en r?f?rerai ? Jean-Fran?ois Somain qui dit "L'argent n'a pas d'importance, mais le manque d'argent, oui". Une association vit principalement de la cotisation de ses membres et plus on est membres plus on rit, c'est bien connu. Je vous invite donc, pour celles et ceux qui sont d?j? adh?rents, ? ne pas oublier de renouveler d?s aujourd'hui votre cotisation (http://www.atala.org/adhesion), pour celles et ceux qui ne sont pas encore membres ? rejoindre promptement l'ATALA.

Un r?sum? de ces stages est pr?sent? ci-dessous, une description plus compl?te est disponible aux adresses suivantes : Stages de M2 : http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/fr/Stages/sujet_M2R_contexte_analyse.html http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/fr/Stages/sujet_M2R_contexte_questions_complexes.html http://sites.google.com/site/delphinebernhard/proposition-de-stage-generation-questions http://www.ensiie.fr/~bg/stage_fouilleDeTexte.html Stage de M1 : http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/fr/Stages/sujet_M1_confiance_question_reponse.html Par ailleurs, d'autres stages dans d'autres th?mes sont propos?s par l'?quipe : http://www.limsi.fr/Scientifique/iles/propositions ___________ *Stage de M2 : S?lection de passages pour r?pondre ? des questions complexes * FIDJI est un syst?me de questions-r?ponses pour le fran?ais et l'anglais qui traite des questions factuelles et complexes, en combinant des informations d'ordre syntaxique et des techniques "classiques" du domaine, telles que la reconnaissance des entit?s nomm?es et la pond?ration des termes de la question. Pour mieux r?pondre aux questions complexes ("pourquoi", "comment", opinion), une approche serait d'?tudier les passages s?lectionn?s par le syst?me ? partir des mots-cl?s de la question et d'identifier s'il s'agit de textes susceptibles d'apporter la r?ponse ? une question "pourquoi" ou "comment". Par exemple, pour la question complexe "Pourquoi le ciel est-il bleu ?", le moteur de recherche renvoie les passages suivants : "le bleu du ciel est le r?sultat de la diffusion de la lumi?re solaire par les composants de l'atmosph?re." "et si le ciel est bleu, c'est ? cause de la diffusion de Rayleigh qui est la plus importante dans le bleu (ondes ?lectromagn?tiques). " http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/fr/Stages/sujet_M2R_contexte_questions_complexes.html Contacts : V?ronique Moriceau (moriceau at limsi.fr) Xavier Tannier (xtannier at limsi.fr) ___________ *Stage de M2 : D?finition d'un contexte d'analyse des documents pour les syst?mes de questions-r?ponses * Dans le domaine de la recherche d'information pr?cise (question-r?ponse), la recherche d'un passage contenant potentiellement la bonne r?ponse est une ?tape cruciale du processus. La plupart des syst?mes actuels utilisent une taille fixe de passages. Le but du stage est d'am?liorer la s?lection de passages contenant la r?ponse ? des questions. Le stage a une dur?e de 4 mois prolongeable ? 6. http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/fr/Stages/sujet_M2R_contexte_analyse.html Contacts : V?ronique Moriceau (moriceau at limsi.fr) Xavier Tannier (xtannier at limsi.fr) ___________ *Stage de M2 : G?n?ration automatique de questions ? partir de paragraphes * *La g?n?ration de questions consiste ? produire automatiquement des questions ? partir d'un texte donn? pour diverses applications : cr?ation de tests et de questionnaires ? choix multiples, syst?mes de dialogue homme-machine ou de questions-r?ponses interactifs. Par exemple, il est possible de g?n?rer plusieurs questions ? partir du paragraphe suivant : Barack Obama, n? le 4 ao?t 1961 ? Honolulu, dans l'?tat d'Hawa?, est le 44e et actuel pr?sident des ?tats-Unis d'Am?rique. Le 9 octobre 2009, il re?oit le prix Nobel de la paix. 1. Qui est l'actuel pr?sident des ?tats-Unis d'Am?rique ? 2. O? est n? Barack Obama ? 3. Quelle est la date de naissance de Barack Obama ? 4. Quel pr?sident des ?tats-Unis d'Am?rique a obtenu le prix Nobel de la paix en 2009 ? L'objectif du stage sera de d?velopper un syst?me capable de g?n?rer automatiquement des questions en anglais ? partir d'un paragraphe de texte donn?. La g?n?ration sera r?alis?e ? l'aide de r?gles de transformation de phrases d?claratives en phrases interrogatives se basant sur une analyse syntaxique pr?alable du texte consid?r?. On s'attachera ?galement ? la g?n?ration de questions ? partir d'?l?ments d'information distribu?s dans plusieurs phrases. http://sites.google.com/site/delphinebernhard/proposition-de-stage-generation-questions Contacts : Delphine Bernhard (delphine.bernhard at limsi.fr) V?ronique Moriceau (moriceau at limsi.fr) Xavier Tannier (xtannier at limsi.fr) ___________ *Stage de M2 : Mise en ?vidence et utilisation de relations entre entit?s nomm?es pour la fouille de texte et la recherche d'informations pr?cises * Dans le cadre de recherche d'informations sur les participants ? des ?v?nements (avec qui ces personnes sont en relation, o? se trouvent-elles, quel type de participation ont-elles eu ? d'autres ?v?nements connexes ou de m?me nature), se pose le probl?me de la reconnaissance de ce type d'information dans des textes, de leur repr?sentation, de la mani?re de les interroger et de la mani?re de pr?senter les r?ponses. Ce stage portera plus particuli?rement sur la d?finition du mode d'interrogation d'une base de textes ? partir d'une question en langue naturelle. Il s'agira de d?terminer automatiquement ? quel type de demande on a affaire, en s'appuyant sur des technologies d?velopp?es dans le cadre de Question-r?ponse, et de mod?liser l'interrogation de textes pour y retrouver des relations. Ce dernier aspect rejoint la probl?matique plus g?n?rale des moteur de recherche verticaux (d?di?s ? un domaine, ? certains types de requ?tes et pouvant travailler sur des informations structur?es ou semi-structur?es). http://www.ensiie.fr/~bg/stage_fouilleDeTexte.html Contact : Brigitte Grau (bg at limsi.fr) ___________ *Stage de M1 : Estimation de la confiance accord?e ? une r?ponse dans un syst?me de question-r?ponse* Les syst?mes de question-r?ponse ont pour but d'apporter une r?ponse pr?cise ? une question pos?e en langage naturel. Par exemple, ? la question "/? quelle date est mort Henri IV ?/", la r?ponse retourn?e doit ?tre "/1610/" (et non pas des pages contenant la r?ponse, comme c'est le cas des moteurs de recherche classiques). Les syst?mes cr??s dans ce cadre ont une architecture qui comprend toujours, entre autres, un module d'analyse de la question pos?e et un module d'extraction de la r?ponse finale. FIDJI est un syst?me de questions-r?ponses pour le fran?ais et l'anglais, combinant des informations d'ordre syntaxique et des techniques "classiques" du domaine, telles que la reconnaissance des entit?s nomm?es et la pond?ration des termes de la question. Dans le syst?me FIDJI, les r?ponses extraites par le syst?me sont ordonn?es selon la combinaison d'un certain nombre de crit?res (forme syntaxique de la phrase r?ponse, v?rification du type de la r?ponse, fr?quence de la r?ponse dans les textes, etc.), et les 3 meilleures r?ponses sont retourn?es ? l'utilisateur. Le but est de d?finir ? partir de cet ensemble de crit?res un score de confiance entre 0 et 1 qui permette ? l'utilisateur de savoir ? quel point il peut se fier ? la r?ponse fournie (simulation d'une probabilit? de pertinence de la r?ponse). http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/fr/Stages/sujet_M1_confiance_question_reponse.html Contacts : V?ronique Moriceau (moriceau at limsi.fr) Xavier Tannier (xtannier at limsi.fr) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 16 11:33:02 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2010 12:33:02 +0100 Subject: Job: Post-doc position at CENTAL, University of Louvain, Belgium Message-ID: Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 00:37:17 +0100 From: C?drick Fairon Message-Id: <7B70844D-1585-4FC5-A6A7-3767D78E0FC0 at uclouvain.be> X-url: http://www.uclouvain.be X-url: http://www.uclouvain.be/cental X-url: http://cental.fltr.ucl.ac.be X-url: http://glossa.fltr.ucl.ac.be The Centre for Natutal Language Processing at UCLouvain (CENTAL) is recruiting 1 post-doc (6 months, with possible extension) Keywords: Information Extraction, Semantic parsing, Ontologies, English, Chinese Job Description: CENTAL and the Belgium-based company Bitong are engaged in a research project aiming at developing new methodologies for the parsing of information acquired from Web pages written in English and Chinese.

COMMUNICATIONS Date limite de soumission : 26 f?vrier 2010 [English version of CFP below] R?DACTEURS EN CHEF INVIT?S : Emmanuel Morin (LINA, Universit? de Nantes, France) et Holger Schwenk (LIUM, Universit? du Maine, France) PREMIER APPEL : Depuis le dernier num?ro de la revue TAL sur cette th?matique, il y a maintenant dix ans, le multilinguisme s?est impos? comme une r?alit? soci?tale incontournable notamment sur l'internet : alors que la langue anglaise dominait largement il y a dix ans, la repr?sentationdu chinois, de l'hindi ou de l?espagnol tend peu ? peu ? correspondre ? l'importance r?elle de ces langues. L'internet refl?te maintenant mieux la diversit? des langues nationales et r?gionales. Logiquement, les applications informatiques d?velopp?es ? que ce soit en traduction, en recherche d'information interlangue, en aide ? la communication ?crite ou en apprentissage des langues... ? doivent s'adapter ? cette r?alit? en prenant en compte des langues de plus en plus diverses avec parfois une grande distance linguistique entre elles. L'objectif de ce num?ro sp?cial de la revue TAL (http://www.atala.org/-Revue-TAL) est de proposer une vue d'ensemble des recherches actuelles en multilinguisme pour le TAL. Les propositions de communications pourront notamment porter sur les th?mes suivants : - les techniques de fouille et d?alignement de corpus multilingues ; o l?alignement de segments parall?les ? partir de corpus comparables ou parall?les ; o l?extraction de lexiques multilingues ? partir de corpus multilingues. - la construction de ressources multilingues et leur exploitation ; - l'utilisation de ressources monolingues dans des syst?mes multilingues ; - la g?n?ricit? des approches en analyse ou en traduction automatique ; - la constitution et l?exploitation de typologies des langues. Et les domaines d?applications pourront notamment concerner : - la traduction automatique ou semi-automatique ; - la recherche d?information inter-langue ; - l'analyse et la g?n?ration multilingue ; - la cat?gorisation multilingue ; - l?aide ? la communication ?crite ou ? l?apprentissage des langues. De mani?re transversale aux th?mes sugg?r?s, les articles proposant une r?flexion sur la g?n?ralisation de pratiques acquises pour un couple donn? de langues (comme l?anglais et le fran?ais) lors de la transposition des m?thodes ? des langues plus ?loign?es seront appr?ci?s. MODALIT?S PRATIQUES : Les articles seront ?crits en fran?ais ou en anglais. Les soumissions en anglais ne seront accept?es que pour les auteurs non francophones. Les articles (maximum 25 pages au format PDF) seront envoy?s aux deux adresses suivantes : emmanuel.morin at univ-nantes.fr et holger.schwenk at lium.univ-lemans.fr.

While the English language largely dominated a decade ago, the representation of Chinese, Hindi or Spanish is tending to reveal the real importance of these languages. Today, the Internet better reflects the diversity of national and regional languages. Logically, the computer applications that are developed ? either in machine translation, in cross-language information retrieval, in computer-assisted writing or language learning... ? must illustrate this reality by taking account of more and more diverse languages, sometimes with great linguistic differences between them. This special issue of the TAL journal (http://www.atala.org/-Revue-TAL) aims at giving an overall picture of NLP research on multilingualism. The following topics (this is a non-exhaustive list) will be considered: - Mining and alignment from multilingual corpora ; o Extraction of parallel segments from comparable corpora; o Extraction of multilingual lexicon from multilingual corpora. - Building and using multilingual resources; - Using monolingual resources in multilingual systems; - Generalization of the approaches in analysis or in machine translation; - Building and using language typologies. Fields of application could include: - Automatic or semi-automatic translation methods; - Cross-language information retrieval; - Multilingual analysis and generation; - Multilingual document categorization; - Computer-assisted writing or language learning. In addition to the suggested topics, the papers that reflect on the generalization of practices acquired for a given pair of languages (such as English and French) when transposing methods to unrelated languages will be appreciated. GUEST EDITORS: Emmanuel Morin, LINA, Universit? de Nantes, France Holger Schwenk, LIUM, Universit? du Maine, France PRACTICAL ISSUES: Manuscripts may be submitted in English or French.

We are interested in presentations relating to actively studied areas of research including the adaptation of existing parsing techniques to new languages, the design of new models that take morphological information into account, the implementation of models that allow robust statistics to be obtained in the face of high word-form variation, and so on. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: March 1, 2010 Notification to authors: March 30, 2010 Camera ready copy: April 12, 2010 Workshop: June 5 or 6, 2010 PRESENTATION The availability of large syntactically annotated corpora led to an explosion of interest in statistical parsing methods, and to the development of successful models for parsing English using the Wall Street Journal Penn Treebank (PTB, Marcus et al, 1993). In recent years, parsing performance on the PTB has reached a performance ceiling of 90-92% f-score using the Parseval evaluation metrics (Black et al, 1991). When adapted to other language/treebank pairs (such as German, Hebrew, Arabic, Italian or French), these models have been shown to be considerably less successful. Among the arguments that have been proposed to explain this performance gap are the impact of small training data size, differences in treebank annotation schemes, inadequacy of evaluation metrics, as well as linguistic factors such as the degree of word order freedom and the use of morphological information in the parser. None of these arguments in isolation can account for the systematic performance deterioration, but observed from a wider, cross-linguistic perspective, a picture begins to emerge -- the morphologically rich nature of some of the languages makes them inherently more susceptible to such performance degradation. Morphologically rich languages (MRLs) are particularly challenging for the application of algorithms primarily designed to parse English. These algorithms focus on learning word order but they often do not take morphological information into account. Another typical problem associated with parsing MRLs is increased lexical data sparseness due to high morphological variation in surface forms. In a more general setup, this problem is akin to handling out-of-vocabulary or rare words for robust statistical parsing and techniques for domain adaptation via lexicon enhancement (also explored for English and less morphologically rich languages). As well as technical and linguistic difficulties, lack of communication between researchers working on different MRLs can lead to a reinventing the wheel syndrome; the prominence of English parsing in the literature reduces the visibility of research aiming to solve the problems particular to MRLs. By offering a platform to this growing community of interests we hope to overcome this potential cultural obstacle. We solicit papers describing parsing experiments with models and architectures for languages with morphological structure richer than English, or studies that address the lexical sparseness challenges (for any language). The workshop's areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following list of topics: * Parsing models and architectures that explicitly integrate morphological analysis and parsing * Parsing models and architectures that focus on lexical coverage and the handling of OOV words either by incorporating linguistic knowledge or through the use of unsupervised/semi-supervised learning techniques * Cross-language and cross-model comparison of models' strength and weaknesses in the face of particular linguistic phenomena (e.g. morphosyntactic characteristics, degree of word-order freedom ...) * Comprehensive analyses of the strengths and weaknesses of various parsing models on particular linguistic (e.g. morphosyntactic) phenomena with respect to variation in tagsets, annotation schemes and additional data transformations SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit long papers (up to 8 pages + 1 extra page for references) and short papers (up to 4 pages + 1 extra page for references). Long papers should describe unpublished, substantial and completed research. Short papers should be position papers, papers describing work in progress or short, focused contributions. Papers will be accepted until March 1, 2010 in PDF format via the START system. Please watch the workshop page for additional last-minute details: http://sites.google.com/site/spmrl2010/ Submitted papers must follow the styles and the formating guidelines used for the NAACL conference, see the details at: http://naaclhlt2010.isi.edu/authors.html As the reviewing will be blind, the paper must not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ..." must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ..." Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. In addition, please do not post your submissions on the web until after the review process is complete. PROGRAM COMMITTEE Djam?

The i-Society 2010 encourages you to submit workshop proposals. Workshop duration can be one day or one and half day. All the accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings. You can consider organising a workshop that is related to i-Society 2010 topics. The purpose of these workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conferences themselves. It offers a good opportunity for young researchers to present their work and to obtain feedback from an interested community. The format of each workshop is to be determined by the organisers, but it is expected that they contain ample time for general discussion. The preference is for one day workshops, but other schedules will also be considered. Important Dates Workshop Proposal Submission: January 15, 2010 Notification of Workshop Acceptance: January 31, 2010 The proposal must include: 1. The name of the workshop. 2. A statement of goals for the workshop. 3. The names and addresses of the organisers. 4. The names of potential participants, such as program committee members. 5. A description of the plans for call for participation (e.g., call for papers). 6. The expected number of attendees and the planned length of the workshop. 7. The topic of the workshop should be relevant to the main conference and details of any previous workshops. 8. The URL of the workshop web site. All workshop proposals are blind reviewed by the workshop organisers. The workshop and tutorial paper submission and author notification due dates are at the discretion of the workshop organisers but not later than March 31, 2010 in order to be included in the main conference proceedings. For all workshop organisers: if the workshop receives more than 20 valid submissions or accepts more than 10 quality papers at i-Society 2010, the organisers will receive one free registration and i-Society 2010 outstanding service certificate. The workshops proposal should be to workshop at i-society.eu. Your workshop proposals will be reviewed by the Steering Committees. After acceptance of the workshop proposal, it is the responsibility of the Workshop Organiser(s) / Workshop Chair(s) to review all submitted papers to his/her workshop. If you are interested in organising a tutorial, please email your proposal to tutorial at i-society.eu Your proposal tutorial will be reviewed by the Steering Committee. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 16 17:13:28 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2010 18:13:28 +0100 Subject: Seminaire: LaSCoD, Analyse du discours, et Bi/Plurilinguisme Message-ID: Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2010 15:41:11 +0100 From: Alice Krieg-Planque Message-ID: <4B51D007.1070201 at club-internet.fr> X-url: http://www.u-cergy.fr X-url: http://www.u-cergy.fr/article12703.html - - - s?minaire - - - s?minaire - - - s?minaire - - - s?minaire - - - S?minaire LaSCoD (EA 1392 CRTF) Universit? de Cergy-Pontoise La prochaine s?ance du s?minaire LaSCoD se tiendra comme pr?vu le jeudi 28 janvier 2010 Elle sera organis?e sous forme de deux demi-journ?es, dont le programme est d?taill? ci-dessous (matin : ?Pratiques interdisciplinaires en analyse du discours : enjeux, m?thodes, port?e? ; apr?s-midi : ?Bi/Plurilinguisme, pratiques langagi?res et didactique des langues?).

R?sum? : La question de l?accompagnement ? la compr?hension ?crite est trait?e en positionnant la formation des enseignants de FLE/S non seulement par rapport ? l?approche globale de la lecture (Moirand), non seulement par rapport ? la lexiculture (Galisson), mais aussi en sugg?rant qu?elle inscrive ? son programme un certain nombre de th?ories s?mantiques. 11h30-12h : Discussion g?n?rale Apr?s-midi : Bi/Plurilinguisme, pratiques langagi?res et didactique des langues Coordination : Jacques David (jacques.david at iufm.u-cergy.fr) Ce s?minaire du p?le LaSCoD (EA 1392 du CRTF) a pour objectif d?engager la r?flexion sur des recherches actuelles conduites en sociolinguistique, autour de diff?rentes ?tudes et exp?riences de bi- ou plurilinguisme. Les deux pr?sentations - et les discussions qui suivront - auront ?galement pour projet d??clairer la didactique des langues et des discours, et de renouveler les conceptions et pratiques scolaires dans le domaine. 14h00 ? 15h00 : Marinette Matthey (Universit? Grenoble 3, Lidilem, responsable de l?axe ? Sociolinguistique, plurilinguismes et didactique des langues ?) Titre : ? La transmission interg?n?rationnelle du bi/plurilinguisme : ?tude des strat?gies des parents et pratiques des langues des jeunes de deuxi?me et troisi?me g?n?rations ? R?sum? : L?expos? s?appuie sur un ensemble de recherche inscrit dans la probl?matique de la diversit? linguistique et du plurilinguisme, que cela soit sous l?angle des aspects linguistiques de la migration ou des apprentissages linguistiques r?alis?s en milieu scolaire. L?objectif est de mettre l?accent sur la description des pratiques langagi?res dans un contexte donn? (pays, r?gion, communaut?, famille, r?seau?) ainsi que sur les repr?sentations et les aspects identitaires exprim?s par les locuteurs des langues concern?es. Au del?, il s?agit de proposer de nouveaux outils didactiques fond?s sur une connaissance approfondie des pratiques en contextes plurilingues et permettant une meilleure articulation entre la r?alit? extrascolaire et celle de l?institution ?ducative, qui se caract?rise par l??laboration formelle de connaissances linguistiques et langagi?res. 15h00 ? 16h00 : Jacques David (Universit? de Cergy-Pontoise, CRTF - p?le Lascod) Titre : ? L?enseignement des langues vivantes ?trang?res et la maitrise des syst?mes linguistiques : le cas des interactions fran?ais / anglais ? R?sum? : La pr?sentation s?appuiera sur l??tude d?un corpus de verbalisations d??l?ves francophones (FLSco) apprenant l?anglais (en L2) dans une classe du cycle 3 de l??cole primaire (8-11 ans), au cours de s?quences d?enseignement de l?anglais, mais aussi de s?quences d??tude de la langue comparant le fran?ais et l?anglais. Plusieurs notions linguistiques seront d?crites, comme l?ant?position de l?adjectif et l?expression temporelle du pass?. L?objectif est de valider les effets d?apprentissage obtenus par ces comparaisons, dans une perspective interlangue, proche des m?thodologies ? ?veil aux langues ? (Hawkins) ou ? Evlang ? (Candelier, Dab?ne), ou encore ? Comparons nos langues ? (Auger). Ces donn?es nous permettront d?ouvrir des perspectives d?enseignement-apprentissage des langues associant L1 et L2 et d?envisager des contenus de formation des enseignants dans le cadre d?une didactique des langues renouvel?e et ?largie. 16h00 ? 17h00 : Discussion g?n?rale Lieu : Universit? de Cergy-Pontoise Site des Ch?nes Salle Ananzie, 2?me ?tage des Ch?nes 2 33, boulevard du Port 95011 Cergy-Pontoise Acc?s au site des Ch?nes : En RER : RER A direction Cergy-le-haut, arr?t Cergy-Pr?fecture RER C arr?t Pontoise (prendre ensuite le bus) En train : Depuis la gare Saint-Lazare ou Nanterre-Universit?, arr?t Cergy-Pr?fecture En bus : Depuis Pontoise, station Canrobert, lignes 44, 45, 56, 57, arr?t Cergy-Pr?fecture Plan d?taill? du campus ? t?l?charger ? partir de : http://www.u-cergy.fr S?ance du 28 janvier 2010 : http://www.u-cergy.fr/article12703.html - - - s?minaire - - - s?minaire - - - s?minaire - - - s?minaire - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 16 11:37:19 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2010 12:37:19 +0100 Subject: Appel: DL 2010 Message-ID: Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 14:07:21 +0100 From: David Toman Message-ID: <87r5pu6tme.fsf at cs.uwaterloo.ca> X-url: http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/conferences/dl2010/ X-url: http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html X-url: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dl2010 X-url: http://www.CEUR-ws.org/ X-url: http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/conferences/dl2010/ X-url: http://dl.kr.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 23rd International Workshop on Description Logics (DL 2010) FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS Waterloo, Ontario, Canada http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/conferences/dl2010/ The DL workshop is the major annual event of the description logic research community.

Thanks in advance for forwarding the information on this Call for Submissions to those potentially interested to submit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Matching and Meaning: Automated development, evolution and interpretation of ontologies http://dream.inf.ed.ac.uk/events/wmm-2010 31st March 2010, part of AISB'10 Convention, Leicester, UK OVERVIEW The problem of semantic misalignment - of two (or more) systems failing to understand one another when their semantic representation is not identical - occurs in a huge variety of areas: the Semantic Web, databases, natural language processing; anywhere, indeed, where semantics are necessary but centralised control is undesirable or impractical. In highly dynamic domains, where interactions are between a large, diverse and evolving community, there is a need for the resolving of these misalignments - through developing and evolving existing ontologies or interpreting unknown ontologies in terms of known ones - to be done automatically and on-the-fly. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested in the problems of automated development, evolution and interpretation of ontologies in the many different domains in which it occurs. We are primarily interested in the exchange of ideas and the stimulation of debate, and the workshop is intended to be a forum for researchers to present ongoing work and ideas and to engage in discussion with other researchers from the field. We are particularly interested in novel ideas and innovative research, which may be in its early stages, and encourage reports on work in progress. Topics of interest include: * Ontology evolution * Ontology matching and alignment * Ontology versioning * Representational or structural change * Formal aspects of ontology dynamics * Formalisation of and reasoning with contexts * Foundational issues * Social and collaborative matching * Background knowledge in matching * Extensions to ontology languages to better support change * Non-monotonic reasoning for ontologies and the Semantic Web * Inconsistency handling in evolving ontologies * Uncertainty in matching * Change propagation in ontologies and metadata * Ontologies for dynamic environments * Dynamic knowledge construction and exploitation * Matching for dynamic applictions (e.g., p2p, agents, web-services) * Case studies, software tools, use cases, applications * Open problems SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We encourage the submission of extended abstracts of 2-5 pages that discuss ongoing research, problem descriptions and overviews of the domain. Accepted papers will be included in the AISB 2010 proceedings unless the authors prefer them not to be (for example, if the work is very similar to work presented elsewhere which they nevertheless feel it would be valuable to present in this context, or if the work is at a stage where discussion would be valuable but publication would be premature). Authors wishing their submissions to be included in the convention proceedings must follow the style guide on the convention website. Submitted works do not need to be original as our primary interest is in the exchange of ideas and the stimulation of debate. Inclusion in the proceedings is optional. Submissions will be subject to light reviewing, mainly intended to check fit to workshop. Abstracts should be submitted electronically in pdf format to mchan-at-ed.ac.uk by 15th January 2010. Notification of acceptance will be sent to the submitting author on 15th February 2010. VENUE The workshop will take place at De Montfort University in Leicester, as part of the AISB 2010 Convention (http://www.aisb.org.uk/convention/aisb10/), from March 31st to 1st April, 2010. All workshop participants must be registered for the AISB 2010 Convention. Registration for this workshop is included in the convention registration fee. IMPORTANT DATES Submission: *Friday, 15th January 2010* Notification: Monday, 15th February 2010 Workshop: 31st March - 1st April 2010 AISB10 Convention: 29th March - 1st April 2010 PROGRAMME Presentations: Authors of accepted abstracts will give presentations of their work; exact times to be decided. Posters: If it is not possible to fit in presentations for all accepted authors, some may be asked to present posters instead. There will be a session of 5 minute poster talks. Panel: The technical programme will end with a 90 minute panel discussion on a topic of mutual interest to be decided. Three speakers will speak for 10 minutes each with a brief to stimulate debate during the remaining 60 minutes. Discussion amongst all participants, rather than question-and-answering for the panel, will be strongly encouraged.

May, 2010 1st Call for papersBackground In the last 10 years, several standardisation initiatives within W3C, ISO and the TEI have produced a portfolio of standards and more are in an early state of discussion. They will directly impact the way language resources are and will further be developed. This trend has in turn led to significant enhancements in the interoperability of tools for creating and managing language resources, and to a better understanding of the issues involved in ensuring that such resources remain usable in the long term. In this context, the main initiators of these standardisation initiatives, with the endorsement of the major infrastructural projects in language resources and humanities (CLARIN, Dariah, FLaReNet) are joining efforts to organise a one-day workshop providing a forum for the wider language resource community in order to o provide feedback on their experience with respect to ongoing standard isation activities o express priorities and proposals for future standardisation activities The results of this workshop will be taken as a basis for publication as a special issue of the LRE journal on the theme of standardisation for language resources, combining a comprehensive presentation of the field together with concrete applications of existing standards. Workshop aim The workshop invites papers on existing, emerging, and future needs and requirements concerning standards and best practices in all areas of Language Resources and Tools (LRT), including corpus linguistics, translation and localization, terminology management, service oriented infrastructures etc. Presentations may focus on practical experiences using existing standards in real-world projects, or identify areas in which such standards are currently lacking but urgently needed. Papers should illustrate the challenges when applying standards to solving practical tasks. Workshop topics Standards and best practices for language resources and tools ? Papers can address one or several of the following issues: ? Assessment of an existing standard and its implementation in a specific applicative context; ? Critical review of one of several standards (coherence of underlying models and technical specifications based on practical insights); ? Presentation of projects (corpora, lexica, etc) implementing international standards; ? Issues in using international standards for interoperability in the development of tools; ? Proposal of a new standard based on existing best practices or recent community developments; ? Position paper on further needs for standardisation in the domain of language resources based on concrete project requirements; ? Position paper concerning standardising policies within eHumanities infrastructures. Invited Speakers To be announced at the workshop web-site (http://www.clarin.eu/events/lrt-standards-workshop ).

The conference is organized by the Iceland Centre for Language Technology (ICLT) and will be held at the new premises of Reykjavik University. IceTAL is the seventh in the series of the TAL conferences, following GoTAL 2008 (Gothenburg, Sweden), FinTAL 2006 (Turku, Finland), EsTAL 2004 (Alicante, Spain), PorTAL 2002 (Faro, Portugal), VexTAL 1999 (Venice, Italy) and FracTAL 1997 (Besan?on, France). The main purpose of the TAL conference series is to bring together scientists representing linguistics, computer science and related fields, sharing a common interest in the advancement of computational linguistics and natural language processing (NLP). SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE ----------------------- Papers are invited on recent, substantial, original and unpublished research on all aspects of computational linguistics and natural language and speech processing, including, but not limited to: * phonetics, phonology, and morphology * speech recognition and speech synthesis * word segmentation, tagging, and chunking * syntax, parsing, and grammar formalisms * lexical semantics and word sense disambiguation * pragmatics, discourse, and dialogue * lexicon, lexical databases, and ontologies * generation and summarization * information retrieval, question answering, and information extraction * machine translation, translation aids, and multilingual systems * dialogue systems and multimodal systems * language resources and tools * linguistic, psychological, and mathematical models of language * corpus linguistics * corpus-based language modeling * language learning and therapy * simulation and visualization * knowledge acquisition and representation * text and speech interfaces * text and speech classification * systems evaluation KEYNOTE SPEAKERS ---------------- There will be two keynote speakers: * Jan Hajic, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic * Christiane D. Fellbaum, Princeton University, Princeton, USA PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- We welcome submissions both from academia and the industry on any topic that is of interest to the NLP community, particularly encouraging research emphasizing multidisciplinary aspects of NLP and the interplay between linguistics, computer science and application domains such as biomedicine, communication systems, public services, and educational technology. Submitted papers should describe original work, emphasizing completed or well advanced, rather than intended, research. The state of completion of the reported work must be clearly indicated. Where appropriate, results should be rigorously evaluated; the assessment of statistical significance for quantitative results is encouraged. Submissions should contain original material that has not been previously presented to the scientific community. A parallel submission to other publication fora as well as a significant overlap in contents with previously published work should be clearly indicated to the program committee. All submissions will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. The submissions will be judged on originality, relevance, technical quality, and presentation. Papers can be submitted in two categories: * Full papers, describing substantial research with well-evaluated results * Short papers, typically describing ongoing research and preliminary results At the conference, full papers will be presented as a talk and short papers will be presented as a poster. Further information regarding paper submission can be found at http://icetal.ru.is. PROCEEDINGS ----------- All accepted papers in both categories will be published in the conference proceedings. The proceedings will be published by Springer Publishers as a volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science/Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNCS/LNAI) series.

Celle-ci a pour objectif de rep?rer automatiquement dans des textes les entit?s caract?ristiques d'un domaine ainsi que les relations intervenant entre ces entit?s, ceci dans le but d'alimenter une base de connaissances ou une base de donn?es. Les entit?s consid?r?es dans ce cadre sont plus pr?cis?ment appel?es entit?s nomm?es et dans le cas le plus g?n?ral, correspondent ? des noms de personnes, de lieux, d'organisations ou ? des entit?s num?riques telles que des dates, des montants financiers ou des mesures. Les relations entre ces entit?s peuvent ?tre dans les cas les plus complexes des relations n-aires allant jusqu'? la notion d'?v?nement. Par exemple, un ?v?nement de rachat d'une entreprise par une autre est repr?sentable par une relation du type : Achat_entreprise soci?t? acheteuse : ORG soci?t? achet?e : ORG montant : MONEY date : DATE o? soci?t? acheteuse d?finit le r?le d'une entit? et ORG, son type. Dans le cadre du stage, seules des relations binaires seront consid?r?es. Le processus d'extraction d'information peut dans ce cas se r?sumer aux deux ?tapes suivantes : - d?tection des entit?s nomm?es ; - d?tection des relations entre les entit?s identifi?es. A titre d'exemple, pour le passage : "With a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas, President Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961." ces deux ?tapes donnent le r?sultat suivant si l'on s'int?resse aux donn?es de naissance d'une personne : D?tection des entit?s nomm?es Noms de lieux : Kenya, Kansas, Hawaii Noms de personnes : President Obama Date : August 4, 1961 D?tection des relations entre entit?s Lieu_naissance : bornIn(President Obama, Hawaii) Date_naissance : bornOn(President Obama, August 4, 1961) OBJECTIFS DU STAGE De nombreux travaux ont ?t? r?alis?s sur la d?tection des entit?s nomm?es et compar?s lors de plusieurs campagnes d'?valuation (shared task CoNLL 2002 et 2003, ACE ...). Le laboratoire LVIC (anciennement LIC2M) du CEA LIST poss?de en outre, au travers de sa plate-forme LIMA, des outils de traitement linguistique int?grant la reconnaissance d'entit?s nomm?es "g?n?rales". Le stage se concentrera donc sur la phase d'extraction de relations, pour laquelle le niveau de performance des syst?mes actuels reste ? am?liorer. C'est particuli?rement le cas lorsque l'objectif est de couvrir un ensemble large de types de relations. Le stage s'effectuera dans la perspective de l'?valuation KBP (Knowledge Base Population) de la campagne TAC 2009 (Text Analysis Conference) et en reprendra les caract?ristiques et les donn?es. Plus pr?cis?ment, cette ?valuation vise ? rassembler des informations factuelles concernant des entit?s relevant de trois grands types : personnes, organisations et entit?s g?opolitiques. Ces informations factuelles prennent la forme de relations appartenant ? 42 types possibles (date et lieux de naissance, ?ge, religion, nombre d'employ?s, fondateur, etc). Le LVIC dispose d?j? d'outils d'extraction de relations au sein des phrases, fond?s sur la notion de patron linguistique. Un tel patron peut ?tre vu comme une forme d'expression r?guli?re int?grant des ?l?ments de diff?rents niveaux de g?n?ralit? (mots, cat?gories grammaticales, "joker" ...) et permettant de valider la pr?sence effective d'une relation entre deux entit?s nomm?es trouv?es dans une phrase. Par exemple, le patron * traiter * par DET permet de valider la pr?sence de la relation [traitement]--(traiter)--[maladie] dans les deux cas suivants : se traite par une est trait?e efficacement par le Le LVIC dispose ?galement des outils permettant d'apprendre automatiquement ces patrons ? partir de corpus annot?s. Le stagiaire aura tout d'abord en charge l'application de cet existant ? l'?chelle du grand nombre de relations consid?r?es dans KBP. L'accent sera mis sur l'utilisation de donn?es d'apprentissage bruit?es du fait de l'impossibilit? de valider manuellement de larges ensembles d'apprentissage pour un tel nombre de relations. Deux autres probl?matiques importantes seront ensuite abord?es : - le filtrage des relations extraites, en s'appuyant notamment sur des m?thodes d'apprentissage statistique (machines ? vecteurs de support (SVM)) ; - l'extension de l'ensemble des patrons appris pour une relation par l'exploitation de donn?es issues du Web. L'objectif est ici d'acqu?rir ? partir d'exemples sondes de nouvelles formulations d'un type de relations ou des paraphrases de formulations d?j? rencontr?es.

Ils ont ainsi donn? d'excellents r?sultats (souvent les meilleurs) pour la reconnaissance d'entit?s nomm?es (McCallum et Li, 2003), l?extraction d?informations (Pinto et al., 2003), l??tiquetage en partie de discours (Altun et al., 2003) ou l'analyse syntaxique peu profonde (Sha et Pereira, 2003). Ils peuvent aussi ?tre employ?s pour l'?tiquetage de donn?es structur?es, comme les corpus arbor?s (Cohn et Blunsom 2005, Jousse 2007, Moreau et al 2009, Moreau et Tellier 2009) et inspirer la conception de nouveaux analyseurs syntaxiques (Finkel, Kleeman & Manning 2008) . Le projet ANR CRoTAL (Conditional Random Fields pour le TAL), qui a d?but? en 2008, a pour but d'?tudier les CRF, dans leurs dimensions ? la fois th?oriques et pratiques. L'objectif de ces journ?es est de rendre compte de ses premiers r?sultats aupr?s de la communaut? du TAL, et de faire le point sur les travaux en cours utilisant les CRF. Il est ouvert ? tous, qu'ils aient ou non particip? au projet CRoTAL : - La premi?re journ?e prendra la forme d'une s?rie de "tutoriaux" assur?s par les membres du projet, portant sur la th?orie des CRF, mais aussi sur l'utilisation de biblioth?ques logicielles existantes pour les appliquer sur des donn?es. Les participants seront invit?s ? proposer des corpus qu'ils souhaitent traiter avec des CRF. - Le deuxi?me jour sera consacr? ? des expos?s scientifiques, parmi lesquels celui d'Andrew McCallum, un des inventeurs des CRF, et d'autres invit?s. Il se d?roulera dans le cadre d'une journ?e ATALA ouverte ? soumissions. Les journ?es seront gratuites, des bourses de l'ATALA seront disponibles pour permettre ? des ?tudiants provinciaux de financer leur transport et leur logement.

These positions can lead either to a research subject or to a pure software engineering work. These positions are funded by the Scribo project (http://www.scribo.ws/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?language=en ). It is a 4 millions euros project funded by the French State involving many industrial partners. ** Research Subject in machine learning and Information extraction The goal is to explore unsupervised learning linked to the Harris' distributional hypothesis for helping the extraction of concepts and relations from dependency parses of AFP broadcast news. The depencies parses come from a wide coverage TAG parser (FRMG). The goal is to automatically populate an ontology of domain while being able to favor manual validation of such an ontology. ** Research Subject in parsing disambiguation with ontological information The goal is to explore the use of ontological information to improve the parsing process of AFP broadcast news. A post parsing disambiguation phase that could occur either on a shared forest or that could be integrated into our rule based disambiguation tool mainly interests us. ** Engineering work (some key points) * Help to package and distribute the Alpage tools involved in the Scribo project * Experiments within the UIMA framework, in relation with partners involved in this project * Experiments with the use of large scaled clusters (i.e. GRID 5000) to deploy our tool chain. ** Skills and requirements: All the applicants must demonstrate a working knowledge of any Linux/Unix environment and serious programming skills while being fully autonomous For the postdoc positions, familiarity with parsing techniques, with formalisms such as TAG/LFG/Dependency grammar and/or With the deployment of large scale parsing chain (either symbolic or statistical) is a plus. For the first subject, familiarity with the use of machine learning techniques and tools/libraries is a plus. ** Salaries and faq Salaries are around 2000-2200 euros after tax, covering health insurance, unemployment benefits and retirement scheme http://www.inria.fr/travailler/opportunites/postdoc/faq_postdoc.en.html#n8 ** About the Inria's Alpage project The Alpage team is specialized in Language modeling, Computational linguistics and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Alpage is a joint team with University Paris 7 (Department of Linguistics) that was created in July 2007, with members coming in majority from the former Paris 7 Talana team (member of the Lattice UMR) and INRIA?s former project-team Atoll. Both teams were specialized in Natural Language Processing (NLP, in French: TAL, for Traitement Automatique des Langues), the former with a strong linguistic background, the latter with a strong computational background. Since February 2008, Alpage is a full Inria project-team. Since January 1st, 2009, Alpage an UMR-I (University Paris 7 & Inria) registered in the Paris 7 quadriennal plan as the UMR-I 001. Alpage?s overall objective is to develop linguistically relevant and computationally efficient tools and resources for natural language processing and its applications. To be more specific, Alpage focuses on the following topics: * Research topics: ? Deep syntactic modeling and parsing. This topic includes, but is not limited to, development of advanced parsing technologies, development of large-coverage and high-quality adaptive linguistic resources, and use of hybrid architectures coupling shallow parsing, (probabilistic and symbolic) deep parsing, and (probabilistic and symbolic) disambiguation techniques ? Modeling and processing of language at a supra-sentential level (discourse modeling and parsing, anaphora resolution, etc) ? NLP-based knowledge acquisition techniques ** Contacts: Dr. Eric Villemonte de la Clergerie Domaine de Voluceau - Rocquencourt - B.P. 105 78153 Le Chesnay Cedex France Email: Eric.De_La_Clergerie at inria.fr Phone: +33 1 39 63 54 10 Fax: +33 1 39 63 53 30 Pr.

X-url: http://www.infile.org [Apologies for multiple postings] CALL FOR PAPERS Evaluation of Information Filtering Systems in a Competitive Intelligence Framework Workshop 22 May 2010 Held in conjunction with LREC 2010, Malta Aims The constant growth of publicly available information has entailed a consequently similar growth in the research areas devoted to the automated organization of this information. In particular, Information Filtering systems have been developed to tackle the issues of many applications of business intelligence, from mail categorization to news routing and technology watch. However, the theoretically challenging models of these systems have seldom been evaluated in real usage context. Indeed, standard evaluation benchmarks usually introduce artefacts that simplify the task. For instance, in the context of competitive intelligence, systems must filter documents without any global information on a "collection" but can use feedback from the user, and must be efficient enough to deal with a real-time document stream. Furthermore, with the increase of globalized access and availability of the information, sources may be found in many languages, and the multilinguality issue must also be considered. TREC Adaptive Filtering Track and INFILE track at CLEF for multilingual information filtering have tried to propose evaluation frameworks closer to the usage. The goal of this workshop is to study different aspects of Information Filtering Evaluation and to bring together researchers from the community of Information Filtering to develop new evaluation frameworks and confront current models with these new evaluation models. Submissions are expected to propose new insights on evaluation methodologies and resources for Information Filtering or to present Information Filtering models that will meet the requirements of a real usage evaluation (in particular, researchers that submit papers presenting Information Filtering Models are encouraged to evaluate their model using an existing benchmark such as the INFILE benchmark, available at http://www.infile.org). Topics Both theoretical and practical research papers are welcome from both research and industrial communities addressing the main workshop theme, in any aspect including: - Resources and methodologies for Evaluation of Information Filtering Systems in real usage context - New models for Information Filtering, that tackle one or several issues of this kind of evaluation: efficiency, adaptability, multilinguality, etc. - Results of the Evaluation of Information Filtering Systems - User studies of the use of Information Filtering Systems in Competitive Intelligence Submission information Papers will be submitted to the workshop via the START LREC Conference Manager, under https://www.softconf.com/lrec2010/InFile2010/ Authors should submit a PDF file of no more than 10 pages, following the LREC conference formatting details. Papers will be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee, Accepted papers will be published in the workshop Proceedings. When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research.

L'atelier de cl?ture se tiendra ? Montr?al dans le cadre de la conf?rence TALN 2010. Un locuteur francophone natif est capable de d?tecter dans une conversation des expressions sp?cifiques ? un pays (par exemple au niveau des nombres "septante" et "nonante" en Belgique et en Suisse contre "soixante-dix et "quatre-vingt-dix" en France et au Qu?bec, et "huitante" en Suisse vs. "quatre-vingts" dans les trois autres pays). Un lecteur est ?galement capable de mobiliser des connaissances linguistiques, culturelles et historiques pour identifier la p?riode (sur une ?chelle plus ou moins grande) de parution d'un article (en identifiant un ?v?nement particulier et/ou des tournures linguistiques ou des entit?s nomm?es jug?es repr?sentatives d'une p?riode donn?e). Comme tout acte de communication, les documents ont une origine et un public vis? ; leur nature, c'est-?-dire leurs contenu, niveaux de langue, etc. en d?pend fortement. Dans cette ?dition du d?fi fouille de textes, nous nous int?ressons ? l'origine des documents, plus particuli?rement ? l'?poque et au lieu de leur cr?ation. Dans ce cadre, nous proposons plusieurs pistes distinctes et ind?pendantes. * Piste 1. Cette piste, relative ? la variation diachronique, concerne l'identification de la d?cennie de publication d'extraits d'articles fran?ais d'une taille de 300 mots. Les extraits de ce corpus couvrent une p?riode comprise entre 1800 et 1944. Le corpus d'apprentissage se composera d'extraits (300 mots) d'articles de quatre titres de journaux diff?rents, le corpus de test int?grera des extraits provenant de ces quatre m?mes titres plus un cinqui?me titre absent du corpus d'apprentissage, de mani?re ? ?prouver la robustesse des syst?mes. * Piste 2. L'identification de l'origine g?ographique de chaque document (pays d'origine) constituera la seconde piste de cette campagne. Elle reposera sur des corpus de presse rassemblant plusieurs titres provenant de France et du Qu?bec. Pour ces deux pistes, les participants auront la possibilit? d'utiliser des ressources externes (linguistiques, historiques, etc.) qu'ils devront obligatoirement d?clarer lors de la soumission des r?sultats. En ce qui concerne plus sp?cifiquement la piste 1, les ressources provenant de Gallica ne seront pas autoris?es. Nous invitons les participants ? participer aux deux pistes. Il est cependant possible de ne participer qu'? une seule des pistes. Des corpus d'apprentissage seront fournis aux participants inscrits, ? partir du 26 f?vrier 2010. Ces corpus sont compos?s de 60% des corpus d'origine. Les 40% de corpus restants seront utilis?s pour le test. Le test aura lieu sur une fen?tre d'un mois, ? partir de la mi-mars. ? partir de la date qu'ils auront choisie dans cet intervalle, les participants auront trois jours pour appliquer, sur les corpus de test, les m?thodes mises au point sur les corpus d'apprentissage et nous retourner leurs r?sultats d'analyse. ******************************************************** Dates importantes : - Inscription : ? partir du 25 janvier 2010.

Along with accepting submissions this year on any topic of current interest in the field, we will encourage submissions on practical applications of BioNLP. We especially encourage submissions on: - Entity identification and normalization for a broad range of semantic categories - Species-independent gene normalization - Extraction of complex relations - Discourse analysis - Anaphora resolution - Coreference resolution - Text mining - Summarization -- Summarization/translation of clinical data for patients - Question answering - Resources and novel strategies for system testing and evaluation IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------- Submission deadline: Friday Apr 9, 2010 Notification of acceptance: Monday May 10, 2010 Camera-ready copy due from authors: Friday May 21, 2010 Workshop: Thursday, Jul 15, 2010 KEYNOTE SPEAKER ---------------- Dr. John Wilbur, NCBI/NLM Second speaker TBA SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ----------------------------------------- Two types of submissions are invited: full papers and poster abstracts. Submissions are due by 11:59 PM EST on Friday Apr 9, 2010. Submit your paper or abstract via the ACL website: https://www.softconf.com/acl2010/BioNLP. Full papers should not exceed eight (8) pages of text and one page of references. These are intended to be reports of original research. BioNLP aims to be the forum for interesting, innovative, and promising work involving biomedicine and language technology, whether or not yielding high performance at the moment. This by no means precludes our interest in and preference for mature results, strong performance, and thorough evaluation. Both types of research and combinations thereof are encouraged. Poster abstracts should not exceed two (2) pages. Accepted abstracts will be published in a separate section of the workshop proceedings. Appropriate poster topics include preliminary results, application notes, descriptions of work in progress, etc. Submissions must be electronic and in PDF format, and should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings. Please see the conference website for detailed typesetting specifications. Authors are strongly encouraged to use the style files and formatting instructions available on the ACL conference website: http://acl2010.org/authors.html Submissions need to be anonymous. Authors who cannot submit a PDF file electronically should contact the workshop organizers well in advance of the submission deadline. Dual submission policy: note that papers may not be submitted to the BioNLP 2010 workshop if they are or will be concurrently submitted to another meeting or publication and that other meeting or publication prohibits dual submissions. If your paper is also submitted to ISMB or AMIA, you should expect it to be rejected by ISMB and AMIA. If your paper is or will be concurrently under consideration by another meeting or publication, notify us of that fact in a footnote on the first page. Do not dual-submit your BioNLP 2010 workshop paper to ISMB or AMIA. ACL MENTORING SERVICE -------------------------------------- ACL is providing a mentoring (coaching) service for authors from regions of the world where English is less emphasized as a language of scientific exchange. Many authors from these regions, although able to read the scientific literature in English, have little or no experience in writing papers in English for conferences such as the ACL meetings. The service will be arranged as follows. A set of potential mentors will be identified by Mentoring Service Chairs Bj?rn Gamb?ck (SICS, Sweden and NTNU, Norway) and Diana McCarthy (Lexical Computing Ltd., UK), who will organize this service for ACL 2010. If you would like to take advantage of the service for a submission to this workshop, please upload your paper in PDF format using the paper submission software for the mentoring service available at: https://www.softconf.com/acl2010/acl2010mentor/ The deadline for the mentoring service is six weeks before the workshop submission deadline. An appropriate mentor will be assigned to your paper and the mentor will get back to you no later than two weeks before the submission deadline. Please note that this service is for the benefit of the authors as described above. It is not a general mentoring service for authors to improve the technical content of their papers. Questions about the mentoring service should be referred to mentoring at acl2010.org. * Kevin Bretonnel Cohen, University of Colorado School of Medicine * Dina Demner-Fushman, US National Library of Medicine * Sophia Ananiadou, National Centre for Text Mining and University of Manchester, UK * John Pestian, Computational Medicine Center, Cincinnati Children's Hospital and Medical Center * Jun-ichi Tsujii, University of Tokyo, Japan and University of Manchester, UK * Bonnie Webber, University of Edinburgh, UK ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 23 19:05:02 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 23 Jan 2010 20:05:02 +0100 Subject: Appel: TOTh 2010 Message-ID: Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 10:39:05 +0100 From: Luc Damas Message-ID: Deuxi?me Appel ? Communications TOTh 2010 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Conf?rence TOTh 2010 Terminologie & Ontologie : Th?ories et Applications Annecy : 3 & 4 juin 2010 (formation : 2 juin) www.porphyre.org/toth --------------------------------------------------------------------- Pr?sentation --------------- Les conf?rences TOTh deviennent, ? partir de l??dition 2010, internationales avec le fran?ais et l?anglais comme langues officielles. Le comit? de programme s?est ouvert ? de nouveaux pays (Autriche, Italie et Irlande) portant ? dix le nombre de pays repr?sent?s et ? plus de 40% le nombre de personnalit?s ?trang?res. Cette ouverture traduit un int?r?t croissant pour la terminologie en dehors de son champ traditionnel d?applications. Gr?ce ? l?op?rationnalisation des terminologies, rendue possible par les apports de l?ing?nierie des connaissances tels que les ontologies, la terminologie se trouve au c?ur de nombreuses applications li?es ? la soci?t? num?rique. Elle ouvre de nouvelles perspectives pour le traitement de l?information au sens le plus large du terme : commissions terminologiques, gestion documentaire, ing?nierie collaborative, mod?lisation, politique linguistique, repr?sentation et capitalisation des connaissances, traduction, web s?mantique, etc. Cette ouverture n?est pas sans poser de nouvelles questions quant aux rapports qu?entretiennent les dimensions linguistique et conceptuelle de la terminologie. La terminologie, discipline scientifique ? part enti?re, est aujourd?hui devenue pluridisciplinaire et puise ? la linguistique, aux langues de sp?cialit?, ? l?intelligence artificielle et aux sciences de l?information. Publics vis?s ---------------- Les conf?rences TOTh ont pour objet de rassembler toutes personnes dont les pr?occupations rel?vent entre autres des langues de sp?cialit?, de la terminologie et de l?ing?nierie des connaissances ; et de fa?on plus g?n?rale toutes personnes, chercheurs, industriels, praticiens, int?ress?es par des probl?matiques li?es ? la langue et ? la connaissance. Soumissions et Dates importantes ------------------------------------------ Les articles soumis seront ?valu?s par le comit? international de programme etpourront donner lieu ? une pr?sentation orale ou poster. Les articles accept?s seront publi?s dans les actes de la conf?rence (les posters le seront sous la forme d?un article court). Langues officielles : fran?ais et anglais Date limite de soumission : 1 f?vrier 2010 Notification d?acceptation aux auteurs : 1 avril 2010 Conf?rence : 3 & 4 juin 2010 Soumission des articles : Par courriel : soumission at porphyre.org En ligne : www.porphyre.org/toth Langues officielles : fran?ais et anglais Organisation ---------------- Les conf?rences se d?roulent chaque ann?e ? Annecy les premiers jeudi et vendredi du mois de juin (3 & 4 juin 2010). Elles sont pr?c?d?es par une journ?e de formation (mercredi 2 juin). A c?t? de communications acad?miques, une place importante est accord?e aux travaux de jeunes chercheurs (doctorants en fin de th?se) et ? la pr?sentation de r?alisations industrielles. Un conf?rencier invit?, dans une discipline g?n?ralement diff?rente mais pour laquelle le langage et la pens?e jouent un r?le primordial, ouvre les conf?rences TOTh. Journ?e de formation -------------------------- A partir de 2010, les conf?rences seront pr?c?d?es d?une journ?e de formation (mercredi 2 juin). Le th?me de cette ann?e portera sur les apports mutuels de la terminologie et de l?ontologie. Th?mes de la Conf?rence (liste non exhaustive) --------------------------------------------------------- Les communications porteront aussi bien sur la dimension linguistique de la terminologie et de la connaissance : - les langues de sp?cialit?, l?am?nagement linguistique (prescription, normalisation), les usages, les variations, - les lexiques, dictionnaires, th?saurus, produits terminologiques, - le multilinguisme, la traduction, le traitement et l?alignement de corpus,l?extraction de connaissances, - la construction et la maintenance de ressources terminologiques, l?harmonisation des concepts, l?harmonisation des termes, les th?ories du sens, l?importance et la limite des corpus, que sur leur dimension conceptuelle : - les principes terminologiques pour la construction des syst?mes notionnels, - la repr?sentation et la gestion des connaissances : acquisition, mod?lisation des concepts, importance des ontologies (construction, maintenance, alignement, fusion), - l?apport de l?intelligence artificielle, de la linguistique, de l??pist?mologie, des syst?mes formels (logique des descriptions par exemple). ou leurs applications : - les environnements logiciels : construction et maintenance des terminologies, th?saurus, dictionnaires, ontologies, - les applications informatiques ? base de connaissances et de ressources terminologiques : syst?mes d?information, biblioth?ques num?riques sp?cialis?es,gestion documentaire, recherche d?information, classification, gestion des connaissances, web s?mantique, ing?nierie collaborative, etc. - l??valuation des outils d?acquisition et de manipulation, l??volution des normes et standards dans le domaine des ressources linguistiques et ontologiques.

Lyon 2 Bien cordialement, Anna Stavrianou *************R?sum?************** Le d?veloppement du Web 2.0 a donn? lieu ? la production d'une grande quantit? de discussions en ligne. La fouille et l'extraction de donn?es de qualit? de ces discussions en ligne sont importantes dans de nombreux domaines (industrie, marketing) et particuli?rement pour toutes les applications de commerce ?lectronique. Les discussions de ce type contiennent des opinions et des croyances de personnes et cela explique l'int?r?t de d?velopper des outils d'analyse efficaces pour ces discussions. L'objectif de cette th?se est de d?finir un mod?le qui repr?sente les discussions en ligne et facilite leur analyse. Nous proposons un mod?le bas? sur des graphes. Les sommets du graphe repr?sentent les objets de type message. Chaque objet de type message contient des informations comme son contenu, son auteur, l'orientation de l'opinion qui y ?t? exprim?e et la date o? il a ?t? post?. Les liens parmi les objets message montrent une relation de type "r?pondre ?". En d'autres termes, ils montrent quels objets r?pondent ? quoi, cons?quence directe de la structure de la discussion en ligne. Avec ce nouveau mod?le, nous proposons un certain nombre de mesures qui guident la fouille au sein de la discussion et permettent d'extraire des informations pertinentes. Les mesures sont d?finies par la structure de la discussion et la fa?on dont les objets messages sont li?s entre eux. Il existe des mesures centr?es sur l'analyse de l'opinion qui traitent de l'?volution de l'opinion au sein de la discussion. Nous d?finissons ?galement des mesures centr?es sur le temps, qui exploitent la dimension temporelle du mod?le, alors que les mesures centr?es sur le sujet peuvent ?tre utilis?es pour mesurer la pr?sence de sujets dans une discussion. La repr?sentation d'une discussion en ligne de la mani?re propos?e permet ? un utilisateur de "zoomer" dans une discussion. Une liste de messages cl?s est recommand?e ? l'utilisateur pour permettre une participation plus efficace au sein de la discussion. De plus, un syst?me prototype a ?t? impl?ment? pour permettre ? l'utilisateur de fouiller les discussions en ligne en s?lectionnant un sous ensemble d'objets de type message et naviguer ? travers ceux-ci de mani?re efficace. Mots cl?s : discussions en ligne, opinion mining, fouille de donn?es d'opinion, text mining, fouille de texte, r?seaux sociaux, syst?mes de recommandation, mod?lisation, forum. **************Summary************** The development of Web 2.0 has resulted in the generation of a vast amount of online discussions. Mining and extracting quality knowledge from online discussions is significant for the industrial and marketing sector, as well as for e-commerce applications. Discussions of this kind encapsulate people's interests and beliefs and hence, there is a great interest in acquiring and developing online discussion analysis tools. The objective of this thesis is to define a model which represents online discussions and facilitates their analysis. We propose a graph-oriented model. The vertices of the graph represent postings. Each posting encapsulates information such as the content of the message, the author who has written it, the opinion polarity of the message and the time that the message was posted. The edges among the postings point out a "reply-to" relation. In other words they show which posting replies to what as it is given by the structure of the online discussion. The proposed model is accompanied by a number of measures which facilitate the discussion mining and the extraction of knowledge from it. Defined measures consist in measures that are underlined by the structure of the discussion and the way the postings are linked to each other. There are opinion-oriented measures which deal with the opinion evolution within a discussion. Time-oriented measures exploit the presence of the temporal dimension within a model, while topic-oriented measures can be used in order to measure the presence of topics within a discussion. The user's presence inside the online discussions can be exploited either by social network techniques or through the new model which encapsulates knowledge about the author of each posting. The representation of an online discussion in the proposed way allows a user to "zoom" inside the discussion. A recommendation of messages is proposed to the user to enable a more efficient participation inside the discussion. Additionally, a prototype system has been implemented which allows the user to mine online discussions by selecting a subset of postings and browse through them efficiently. Keywords: online discussions, opinion mining, text mining, social networks, recommender systems, modeling, forums. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue Jan 26 20:51:34 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 21:51:34 +0100 Subject: Job: Stage mastere en informatique, Orange Labs, Lannion Message-ID: Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 11:43:11 +0100 From: Message-ID: <12901_1264502592_4B5EC740_12901_623_1_F45661E8FBC74F4EB7E1E0386B562A75C1CD79 at ftrdmel0.rd.francetelecom.fr> Intitul? Evaluation des outils d'acquisition de terminologie dans une application multim?dia Mission Le stage concerne une des activit?s du laboratoire ACTS d?Orange Labs : les applications de moteurs de recherche de contenus vid?o. Dans ce cadre, un des probl?mes ? r?soudre concerne l'am?lioration de la recherche par la prise en compte de la terminologie (locutions, entit?s nomm?es?). Il s'agit d'enrichir et de maintenir une base terminologique existante, base construite manuellement au d?part. Le choix technique porte sur une acquisition automatique des donn?es de terminologie ? partir de techniques d'apprentissage. Un premier travail r?alis? dans le cadre d'un postdoc va concerner l'?tude et la construction du corpus d'apprentissage. Ce corpus va ?tre ensuite utilis? pour l'acquisition de terminologie. Pour ce faire, il existe diff?rents outils d'acquisition (outils d?velopp?s en interne au sein d'Orange Labs et outils "libres" disponibles ? des fins de recherche comme ACABIT). L?objectif du stage est de mettre en ?uvre les outils en question puis de les ?valuer sur la base du m?me corpus.

Bien cordialement, Mehdi Malik ************R?sum?****************************************************** Dans le domaine du traitement automatique des langues, la question qui nous int?resse dans cette th?se est celle des relations qui peuvent exister entre des pr?dicats verbaux (ex : corroder) et des pr?dicats nominaux (ex : corrosion) dont les structures argumentales mettent en jeu des informations communes (salt corrodes iron / le sel corrode le fer ; iron is corroded by salt / le fer est corrod? par le sel ; the corrosion of iron by salt / la corrosion du fer par le sel). Les pr?dicats nominaux dot?s de leurs arguments donnent lieu ? des groupes nominaux pr?dicatifs (GNpr?d). La mise en ?vidence de l'?quivalence des structures argumentales des pr?dicats verbaux et des GNPr?d est fondamentale pour pouvoir r?aliser, par exemple, des syst?mes d'extraction automatique d'informations performants. Dans cette th?se nous nous livrons ? une formalisation des conditions dans lesquelles se r?alisent des relations d'?quivalence entre les deux types de constructions (verbales et nominales). De fa?on plus appliqu?e, nous nous int?ressons ? l'explicitation de ces relations dans un lexique anglais de la biologie, cela ? partir des donn?es fournies par le Specialist Lexicon. En se basant sur les donn?es de ce lexique que l'on peut qualifier de g?n?riques car elles couvrent un spectre large qui va de la biologie, la m?decine aux sciences sociales, nous proposons une pr?diction raisonnable du comportement syntaxique des arguments nominaux lorsqu'ils sont en position de postmodifieur. Nous confirmons le r?le que peuvent jouer les pr?positions dans la d?termination et l'acquisition des diff?rents arguments nominaux. Nous mettons en ?vidence les structures distributionnelles et fonctionnelles du GNpr?d ainsi que les diff?rentes formes ?quivalentes qu'un GNpr?d peut avoir. Le comportement syntaxique des GNpr?d d?pend de la classe grammaticale du pr?dicat verbal ? partir duquel la nominalisation a ?t? d?riv?e et de son sch?ma de compl?mentation. Les pr?dicats verbaux peuvent ?tre r?partis en deux grandes classes : les pr?dicats transitifs qui admettent un compl?ment d'objet direct (COD) et les pr?dicats qui n'en admettent pas. Les GNpr?d associ?s ? ces deux classes se caract?risent par le fait que la pr?position of s?lectionne soit le sujet, soit le COD et qu'elle est un marqueur ambigu lorsqu'elle appara?t seule. Cependant, cette ambigu?t? dispara?t lorsque les GNpr?d sont satur?s, c.-?-d. lorsque tous les arguments de la relation d?crite par le nom pr?dicatif sont r?alis?s. Cette ?tude nous a conduit ? concevoir un ensemble d'algorithmes et ? d?velopper une plate-forme, PredicateDB, permettant de produire, ? partir de ces algorithmes, un lexique o? sont explicit?s pour chaque nominalisation (nom pr?dicatif) du Specialist Lexicon ses structures argumentales et ses r?alisations dans des GNpr?d dont les arguments sont marqu?s par des pr?positions sp?cifiques. Les 3 981 entr?es du lexique produit sont repr?sent?es par les nominalisations et leurs diff?rentes propri?t?s, c'est-?-dire, pour chaque nominalisation : les formes satur?es de chaque emploi verbal et les cas d'ind?cidabilit? de leur fonction argumentale qui sont li?s au r?le ambigu de la pr?position of en tant que marqueur pour les formes non satur?es. Enfin, ? titre d'illustration, nous montrons la pertinence du lexique produit pour l'extraction d'informations dans le domaine de la biologie. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue Jan 26 21:06:53 2010 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 22:06:53 +0100 Subject: Appel: LLREC 2010 Workshop, LRs and HLT for Semitic Languages Message-ID: Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 16:42:00 +0100 From: info at elda.org Message-ID: <4B5F0D48.9030508 at elda.org> X-url: http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2010/ X-url: http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2010/?LREC2010-Map-of-Language-Resources [apologies for cross-postings] CALL FOR PAPERS *Workshop on Language Resources (LRs) and Human Language Technologies (HLT) for Semitic Languages - Status, Updates, and Prospects * To be held in conjunction with the 7th International Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC 2010) *17 May 2010, Mediterranean Conference Centre, Valetta, Malta* *Deadline for submission: 26 February 2010 * Description The Semitic family includes languages and dialects spoken by a large number of native speakers (around 300 million). Prominent members of this family are Arabic (and its varieties), Hebrew, Amharic, Tigrinya, Aramaic, Maltese and Syriac. Their shared ancestry is apparent through pervasive cognate sharing, a rich and productive pattern-based morphology, and similar syntactic constructions. In addition, there are several languages which are used in the same geographic area such as Amazigh or Coptic, which, while not Semitic, have common features with Semitic languages, such as borrowed vocabulary. The recent surge in computational work for processing Semitic languages, particularly Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Modern Hebrew (MH), has brought modest improvements in terms of actual empirical results for various language processing components (e.g., morphological analyzers, parsers, named entity recognizers, audio transcriptions, etc.). Apparently, reusing existing approaches developed for English or French for processing Semitic language text/speech, e.g., Arabic parsing is not as straightforward as initially thought. Apart from the limited availability of suitable language resources, there is increasing evidence that Semitic languages demand modeling approaches and annotations that deviate from those found suitable for English/French. Issues such as the pattern-based morphology, the frequently head-initial syntactic structure, the importance of the interface between morphology and syntax, and the difference between spoken and written forms (especially in Colloquial Arabic(s)) exemplify the kind of challenges that may arise when processing Semitic languages. For language technologies, such as information retrieval and machine translation, these challenges are compounded by sparse data and often result in poorer performance than for other languages. This Workshop intends to follow on topics of paramount importance for Semitic-language NLP that were discussed at previous events (LREC, MEDAR/NEMLAR Conferences, the workshops of the ACL Special Interest Group for Semitic languages, etc.) and which are worth revisiting. The workshop will bring together people who are actively involved in Semitic language processing in a mono- or cross/multilingual context, and give them an opportunity to update the community through reports on completed or ongoing work as well as on the availability of LRs, evaluation protocols and campaigns, products and core technologies (in particular open source ones). We also invite authors to address other languages spoken in the Semitic language area (languages such as Amazigh, Coptic, etc.). This should enable participants to develop a common view on where we stand and to foster the discussion of the future of this research area. Particular attention will be paid to activities involving technologies such as Machine Translation and Cross-Lingual Information Retrieval/Extraction, Summarization, etc. Evaluation methodologies and resources for evaluation of HLT will be also a main focus. We expect to elaborate on the HLT state of the art, identify problems of common interest, and debate on a potential roadmap for the Semitic languages. Issues related to sharing of resources, tools, standards, sharing and dissemination of information and expertise, adoption of current best practices, setting up joint projects and technology transfer mechanisms will be an important part of the workshop. Topics of Interest This full-day workshop is not intended to be a mini-conference, but as a real workshop aiming at concrete results that should clarify the situation of Semitic languages with respect to Language Resources and Evaluation. We expect to launch at least two evaluation campaigns: Comparative evaluation of Morphology taggers and Named Entities Recognizers. Among the many issues to be addressed, below follow a few suggestions: ? Issues in the design, the acquisition, creation, management, access, distribution, use of Language Resources, in particular in a bilingual/multilingual setting (Standard Arabic, Hebrew, Colloquial Arabic, Amazigh, Coptic, Maltese, etc.) ? Impact on LR collections/processing and NLP of the crucial issues related to "code switching" between different dialects and languages ? Specific issues related to the above-mentioned languages such as the role of morphology, named entities, corpus alignment, etc. ? Multilinguality issues including relationship between Colloquial and Standard Arabic ? Exploitation of LR in different types of applications ? Industrial LR requirements and community's response ? Benchmarking of systems and products; resources for benchmarking and evaluation for written and spoken language processing; ? Focus on some key technologies such as MT (all approaches e.g. Statistical, Example-Based, etc.), Information Retrieval, Speech Recognition, Spoken Documents Retrieval, CLIR, Question-Answering, Summarization, etc. ? Local, regional, and international activities and projects and needs, possibilities, forms, initiatives of/for regional and international cooperation. We invite submissions on computational approaches to processing text/speech in all Semitic and Semitic-area languages. The call is open for all kinds of computational work, e.g., work on computational linguistic processing components (e.g., analyzers, taggers, parsers), on state-of-the-art NLP applications and systems, on leveraging resource and tool creation for the Semitic language family, and on using computational tools to gain new linguistic insight. We especially welcome submissions on work that crosses individual language boundaries, heightens awareness amongst Semitic-language researchers of shared challenges and breakthroughs, and highlights issues and solutions common to any subset of the Semitic languages family.

A partir d'un cadre th?orique articulant les approches ? repr?sentationnistes ? et ? instrumentalistes ? du sens (c'est-?-dire ? sens?concept ? vs sens?usage ?), le projet vise ? analyser les valeurs s?mantiques, le comportement combinatoire (lex?matique et syntaxique) et les r?les discursifs des lexies des ?motions dans cinq langues europ?ennes (allemand, fran?ais, anglais, russe et espagnol), ce qui permettrait de mieux structurer le champ lexical des ?motions par rapport ? ce que proposent les ?tudes existantes en lexicologie et lexicographie. Cette ? cartographie ? aboutira au d?veloppement d'applications nouvelles en didactiques des langues ?trang?res, en lexicographie et en TAL. Il proposera de nouveaux mat?riaux didactiques pour l'enseignement / apprentissage des associations lexicales privil?gi?es dans telle ou telle langue (par ex. /rouge de col?re/, /red with rage, rot vor Wut/) dans le but d'une meilleure acquisition des collocations, d'un r?emploi syst?matique dans une activit? de production de texte ou de communication orale. Gr?ce ? une mod?lisation des ph?nom?nes combinatoires du lexique des ?motions, il contribuera ? am?liorer les microstructures du dictionnaire o? il est difficile d'int?grer des contextes larges.

The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is an international distributed Master of Science course, in cooperation with the computer science departments in the following universities: * Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy * Technische Universitaet Dresden, Germany * Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal * Technische Universitaet Wien, Austria Within this program, completely in English, students will spend the first semester of the first year at the Technische Universitaet Dresden (TUD), the second semester of the first year at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (FUB), and the second year in one of the 4 partner universities chosen by the student. After this, the student will obtain a joint European Master of Science degree. APPLICATION DEADLINE: - *** 15 May 2010 *** deadline for European and non-European students (notification of acceptance: 15 June 2008) SCHOLARSHIPS & MONEY SUPPORT: Several scholarships (all including a tuition/enrolment fee waiver) are offered by the EMCL to the best students for the duration of the master program: a FULL scholarship of 750 EUR per month; a SMALL scholarship of 200 EUR per month; and a SIMPLE tuition/enrolment fee waiver. European students will get a LLP Socrates Erasmus scholarship for the second year of study, corresponding to 330 EUR per month. European citizens can apply to scholarships which are granted purely on the basis of the yearly income of the applicant and of her/his parents or husband/wife. This scholarship is only for the year of study at FUB and it may amount up to more than 6,000 EUR per academic year, plus support on the accommodation and a tuition/enrolment fee waiver. These scholarships are also available to non-European citizens with residence in Italy. Check the web page for detailed info on other available scholarships: http://www.computational-logic.eu 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, 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 (Laurea triennale) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or other relevant disciplines; special cases will be considered. The programme is part of the Master in Computer Science (Laurea Specialistica in Informatica) and it has various strengths that make it unique amongst Italian and European universities: * Curriculum taught entirely in English: The programme 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. * Other specialisations with streams in the hottest Computer Science areas, such as Web Technologies, Information and Knowledge Management, Databases and Software Engineering. * 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 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). THE FREE UNIVERSITY OF BOZEN-BOLZANO: The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, founded in 1997, boasts modern premises in the centre of Bozen-Bolzano. The environment is multilingual, South Tyrol being a region where three languages are spoken: German, Italian and Ladin. Studying in a multilingual area has shown that our students acquire the cutting edge needed in the international business world. Many of our teaching staff hails from abroad. Normal lectures are complemented with seminars, work placements and laboratory work, which give our students a vocational as well as theoretical training, preparing them for their subsequent professional careers. Studying at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano means, first and foremost, being guided all the way through the student's educational career. Bozen-Bolzano, due to its enviable geographical position in the centre of the Dolomites, also offers our students a multitude of opportunities for spending their free-time. The city unites the traditional with the modern. Young people and fashionable shops throng the city centre where ancient mercantile buildings are an attractive backdrop to a city that is in continual growth. To the south there is the industrial and manufacturing area with prosperous small and medium-sized businesses active in every economic sector. Back in the 17th century Bozen-Bolzano was already a flourishing mercantile city that, thanks to its particular geographic position, functioned as a kind of bridge between northern and southern Europe. As a multilingual town and a cultural centre Bozen-Bolzano still has a lot to offer today. Its plethora of theatres, concerts with special programmes, cinemas and museums, combined with a series of trendy night spots that create local colour make Bozen-Bolzano a city that is beginning to cater for its increasingly demanding student population. And if you fancy a very special experience, go and visit the city's favourite and most famous resident - "Oetzi", the Ice Man of Similaun, housed in his very own refrigerated room in the recently opened archaeological museum. Bozen-Bolzano and its surroundings are an El Dorado for sports lovers: jogging on the grass alongside the River Talfer-Talvera, walks to Jenesien-S.Genesio and on the nearby Schlern-Sciliar plateau, excursions and mountain climbing in the Dolomites, swimming in the numerous nearby lakes and, last but not least, skiing and snowboarding in the surrounding ski areas.

While easily mastered by native speakers, their interpretation poses a major challenge for automated analysis due to their flexible and heterogeneous nature. Therefore, the automated processing of MWEs is desirable for any natural language application that involves some degree of semantic interpretation, e.g., Machine Translation, Information Extraction, and Question Answering. In spite of the recent advances in the field, there is a wide range of open problems that prevent MWE treatment techniques from full integration in current NLP systems. In MWE'2010, we will be interested in major challenges in the overall process of MWE treatment, asking for original research related but not limited to the following topics: * MWE resources: Although underused in most current state-of-the-art approaches, resources are key for developing real-world applications capable of interpreting MWEs. We call for papers describing the process of building MWE resources, constructed both manually and automatically from text corpora; we are also interested in assessing the usability of such resources in various MWE tasks. * Hybrid approaches: We invite research on integrating heterogeneous MWE treatment techniques and resources in NLP applications. Such hybrid approaches can aim, for example, at the combination of results from symbolic and statistical approaches, at the fusion of manually built and automatically extracted resources, or at the design of language learning techniques. * Domain adaptation: Real-world NLP applications need to be robust to deal with texts coming from different domains. We thus call for papers assessing the performance of MWE methods across domains or describing domain adaptation techniques for MWEs. * Multilingualism: Parallel and comparable corpora are gaining popularity as a resource for automatic MWE discovery and treatment. We are also interested in the integration of MWE processing in multilingual applications such as machine translation and multi-lingual information retrieval, as well as in porting existing monolingual MWE approaches to new languages. SUBMISSIONS We invite submissions of original and unpublished work as full papers. All submissions must follow the COLING 2010 formatting requirements (available soon at www.coling-2010.org ). Reviewing will be double-blind, and thus no author information should be included in the papers; self-reference should be avoided as well. Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings and will be presented orally.
