META-RESEARCH Workshop on Advanced Treebanking (LREC 2012) - Call for
papers



*The Workshop*
Many EU and world-wide projects and research groups are creating,
standardizing, converting and/or using treebanks, thereby often tackling
the same issues and reinventing methods and tools. The workshop has been
conceived by four projects, namely T4ME, META-NORD, CESAR and META4U,
which under the META-NET umbrella project strive to make many treebanks
and other LRT available for R&D. However, the workshop is not limited to
participants of META-NET, but it is widely open: papers of authors of
any origin will be welcome to share their experiences among those
working in this area. Also, papers on using treebanks in innovative ways
and/or analyzing issues with current treebanks (both in content and
format) will be welcome, to provide feedback to treebank developers. The
emphasis is not on linguistic theory or grammar, but on treebanks as
language resources.

*The Call*
As part of the LREC'2012 Language Resources Conference, to be held in
Istanbul, Turkey, the META-RESEARCH Workshop on Advanced Treebanking
(http://www.meta-net.eu/meta-research/events/lrec2012-treebanking-workshop)
invites papers on all aspects of treebanking, especially but not limited
to

- Treebank annotation (manual, semi-automatic, automatic) and related
  issues such as quality control, searching large collections of
  treebanks, parallel treebanks

- Treebank conversion between different linguistic representations (e.g.
  dependency vs. phrase-based) and between different formats

- Treebank standardization and format unification across languages and
  styles

- Combinations of treebanks and other annotations -- including but not
  limited to semantic role labeling, named entity annotation, discourse
  annotation, information structure

- Tools and online web services for the management of treebanks,
  visualization, search, processing, upload and download, etc.

- Innovative use of treebanks in all areas of natural language research
  and applications

- Reuse of treebank annotation for non-traditional purposes and in
  related disciplines (cognitive science, psycholinguistics, etc.)

- Improving the use of current treebanks in linguistic and computational
  R&D.


Oral presentations will have around 20 minutes each; demonstrations and
poster presentations will be encouraged (but optional) in addition to
the oral presentations, during the entire workshop in the meeting room
to stimulate discussions.


Submissions cannot be more than 8 pages long and will be reviewed using
the START system in the usual double-blind fashion, with at least three
reviews for each submission by the members of the Programme Committee.
Authors will be asked to provide details about the resources used when
preparing material for the paper (see
http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2012/?LRE-Map-2012) and to the Language
Library, the new initiative of LREC 2012.
