Présentation du séminaire :

Dans la continuité de nos séances de l'année passée et de notre
journée d'études du 23 novembre 2010, nous reviendrons sur le fait que
si la question des bouleversements que font subir nos modes de
production et de consommation à l'environnement tient une place de
plus en plus importante dans l'opinion publique, la montée des
préoccupations environnementales ne suffit pas à faire accepter
l'ensemble des engagements nécessaires à une modification de ce
processus. S'il paraît difficile de mettre en oeuvre des politiques
efficaces tout en souhaitant poursuivre le développement actuel basé
sur le modèle de développement des pays les plus riches, il est
pourtant nécessaire de repenser nos modes de coexistence dans des
sociétés largement dominées par le consumérisme. Il convient en ce
sens de dégager les éléments d'une écologie sociale afin d'examiner
les dimensions éthiques et politiques qui surgissent dès lors que nous
formulons l'ambition de reconsidérer notre relation à l'environnement
sans que soit pour autant négligé le souci d'une bonne coexistence
dans des sociétés qui entendent demeurer attachées à des valeurs
démocratiques. Un tel examen semble d'autant plus nécessaire à l'heure
où la réponse des pouvoirs publics au risque environnemental consiste
souvent, soit à provoquer plus d'angoisse (ou de peur) que
d'évaluation réfléchie, soit à prendre des mesures en termes de
normalisation, voire de contrôle des comportements individuels, en
laissant finalement très peu de place à la concertation collective.
Nous entendrons notamment analyser la mise en forme des informations
sur l'état de ces questions environnementales par le biais de
technologies communicationnelles de plus en plus sophistiquées. Nous
reviendrons sur l'analyse des médiations technologiques qui sont
censées supporter ces expériences participatives, telles qu'elles ont
pu être initialement théorisées par le fondateur de l'écologie
sociale, l'essayiste américain Murray Bookchin (1921 -- 2006). Nous
pourrons observer comment aujourd'hui la perception des risques
environnementaux par l'opinion publique peut différer des calculs
scientifiques et apparaît alors comme un élément déterminant dans la
compréhension et l'appréhension des débats environnementaux. Il nous
faudra alors imaginer le traitement de ces deux perceptions, tout en
maintenant quand il y a lieu les controverses internes aux évaluations
scientifiques des risques.

DISCOURS special issue MAD 2010 - 2nd Call for papers

The interdisciplinary journal Discours (http://discours.revues.org/)
opens a call for papers for a special issue on Multidisciplinary
Perspectives on Signalling Text Organisation, the theme of the MAD'10
workshop held in March 2010 in Moissac, France
(http://w3.workshop-mad2010.univ-tlse2.fr/). Workshop participants are
warmly invited to submit, but this call is open to anyone interested.

MAD stands for Multidisciplinary Approaches to Discourse. Accordingly,
this special issue seeks to bring together studies from different
disciplines interested in discourse and discourse processing:
linguistics, computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, educational
and cognitive psychology, ergonomics and document design, semiotics,
information and communication sciences, typography, etc.

Important dates:

* 6 September 2011: submission of articles for evaluation ( .doc or
  .rtf), (articles will be subject to the usual blind-reviewing
  procedure).
* 30 October 2011: notification of acceptance.
* 15 December 2011: submission of final versions.
* February 2012: publication of special issue.

Signalling text organisation refers to the observation that within
texts, certain features or elements seem to have a special
instructional role with regard to text organisation. These text
organisation signalling devices have been described under a variety of
names: signals, structure indicators, advance organisers, discourse
markers, layout properties, surface structure features, organisational
cues, stylistic writing devices and so on. Their scope ranges from a
very local level to a more global one. Their nature is also very
diverse:

- linguistic: words (e.g. connectives), phrases (e.g. emphasis
  phrases), sentences (meta-discourse sentences) and beyond
  (overviews, summaries);

- graphic: typographical and spatial variation (e.g. paragraph breaks,
  boldface);

- hybrid (e.g. enumerations, headings, tables of contents, links and
  pop-up windows in electronic documents);

- more elusively: textual position, first mention, length or  
  repetition of particular text units, structural parallelism.

Different disciplines have taken an interest in these devices, either
as a core object of study or as an element to be taken into account.
As a consequence, research concerned with the signalling of text
organisation is far from constituting a unified field. The notion of
signal itself may be associated with different key concepts according
to discipline and models: document structure, discourse organisation,
layout structure, text architecture, etc. As far as function is
concerned, they may be seen as discourse construction devices, traces
of metalinguistic segments, as reading or processing instructions, as
traces of the writer's cognitive processes, or as cues revealing the
author's intentions, etc.

Since the 1970's, research into the signalling of text organisation
has produced considerable results. The environment for this research
is at present undergoing a twofold transformation: first, new methods
are appearing, linked to technological advances (corpus linguistics,
natural language processing, eye movement recording techniques for the
analysis of cognitive processes during reading, etc.); second, new
fields of application are opening (in connection with the expanding
use of digital documents in the professional and educational worlds).
In this new context, novel research questions open up, requiring the
integration of contributions from different disciplines or fields of
study.

We invite contributions on topics and questions such as the following
(the list may be extended):

- What are text signals and what role do they play?
  1. reader's viewpoint
  2. writer's viewpoint
  3. analyst's viewpoint

- What may be relevant theoretical models and methods of data
  collection and analysis to study the signalling of text organisation
  and its cognitive effects?

  1. naturalist approaches and corpus studies
  2. empirical approaches
  3. micro vs. macro approaches
  4. inter- and pluridisciplinary approaches

- Text signals and literacy

- Text signals in document design, natural language processing and
  language technologies

We welcome different types of contributions: literature reviews,
theoretical and methodological considerations, reports of empirical
data, corpus based-studies, etc.

Submission procedure:

Articles may be written in French or English; the expected length is
between 40,000 and 60,000 signs (punctuation and spaces included). For
more details, see http://discours.revues.org/index253.html (style
sheet) and http://discours.revues.org/index358.html (instructions for
authors).

Articles should be accompanied by an abstract of around 1500
characters, together with 5 to 8 key words, in English (and, if
possible, also in French).

Submissions should be sent to mad2010 at univ-tlse2.fr and specify 'MAD
publication' in the title of the message.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you require further information.

DATE LIMITE DU DEPÔT : mardi 14 juin 2011

Description : Les humanités numériques constituent une des mutations
majeures des sciences humaines et sociales actuellement. La
banalisation du support numérique et les grands chantiers de
dématérialisation des textes anciens offrent de nouvelles opportunités
non seulement en termes d'accès aux données, mais aussi — et surtout —
en termes d'analyses renouvelées desdites données.
 
Les premiers pas des humanités numériques relevaient d'ambitions à la
fois patrimoniales, éditoriales et documentaires. Beaucoup
d'initiatives consistaient en collectes de documents, numérisations et
collations pour ensuite les rendre interrogeables au moyen de
concordanciers. Les projets ont ensuite porté sur la normalisation des
bases textuelles avec l'établissement de formats d'échange et de
normes d'encodage, lesquels ont facilité des travaux d'annotations
philologiques et d'étiquetage (morphosyntaxique, lexical) permettant
de complexifier les outils d'interrogation.
 
L'utilisation, l'adaptation et la création d'outils et de
méthodologies de linguistique de corpus adaptées à l’herméneutique des
textes constituent l'enjeu actuel des humanités numériques. Il s'agit
désormais de développer de nouvelles méthodes d'aide à
l'interprétation des textes, s'inspirant à la fois de la philologie et
de l'herméneutique traditionnelle et des méthodes TAL en fouille de
textes.
 
L'INALCO lance un appel à candidature pour un projet de recherche
doctorale consacré à la réalisation de méthodologies et d'outils de
fouille de corpus comparables multilingues et multi-écritures. Il
s'agira de participer à l'émergence d'une problématique transversale
au sein de l'Institut alliant des recherches en ingénierie
linguistique et en littératures et sciences humaines, dans un contexte
multilingue.
 
La recherche sera pilotée par l'Équipe de Recherche Textes,
Informatique, Multilinguisme (ERTIM)l et co-encadrée avec une autre
unité de recherche de l’INALCO. L'ERTIM effectue notamment des
recherches en sémantique et en lexicologie textuelles multilingues, en
traitement automatique de corpus alignés et comparables dans le cadre
d'application en fouille de textes, extraction et structuration de
connaissances linguistiques et analyse de textes assistée par
ordinateur.

Le candidat pourra être accueilli par le Centre de Recherche
Moyen-Orient et Méditerranée (CERMOM) dans le cadre du projet Aliento
et l'Équipe de Recherche Textes, Informatique, Multilinguisme
(ERTIM). Le projet Aliento (http://www.aliento.eu/) construit une base
de données constituée de corpus sapientiels médiévaux composés,
traduits et diffusés dans la péninsule ibérique entre le IXe et le XVe
siècles, de leurs sources et des textes qui en sont issus. Ces corpus
sapientiels numérisés et balisés permettent d’apprécier, à partir
d’une matière exemplaire spécifique, le fonds commun partagé des
littératures et des cultures chrétiennes, juives et musulmanes à un
moment et en un lieu donnés. À partir de ce matériau, la thèse aura
pour objectif général l’élaboration de méthode d'analyse des énoncés
sapientiaux de manière à en restituer les régularités et proposer un
modèle conceptuel permettant leur identification dans des corpus.

D’autres programmes de recherche correspondant au domaine mentionné
sont éligibles dans les unités de recherche de l’INALCO. C’est le cas
notamment du programme « Corpus numérique et archives » des équipes
LACNAD-Arabe maghrébin et LACNAD-Berbère (cf. axe quadriennal 2010-
2013, en collaboration avec le CRB, le CREAM et le LCJMMO), qui
s’inscrit dans les axes de la Fédération TUL : (i) « Conservation et
mutualisation des ressources linguistiques orales » ; (ii) « Corpus
oraux et typologie de l’articulation syntaxe/prosodie ».

Candidat attendu : Le candidat devra présenter un niveau Master 2, de
préférence en science du langage et en Traitement Automatique des
Langues. Il devrait être autonome d’un point de vue informatique en
traitement de données textuelles (PERL, XML, base de données, gestion
du multilinguisme, représentation numérique des caractères). Pour le
projet Aliento, la maîtrise du français, de l’espagnol et d’au moins
une langue sémitique (arabe et/ou hébreu) est requise. Pour les autres
projets, la maîtrise du français et d’au moins une langue orientale
est requise. La langue de travail est le français.

Modalité de candidature : 

Le candidat est prié de prendre rapidement contact avec l’équipe ERTIM
(mvalette at inalco.fr) pour la préparation du dossier et de l’audition
en concertation avec l’unité de recherche associée.

Se reporter également aux modalités de candidature au contrat doctoral
http://www.inalco.fr/ina_gabarit_rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=2356 en
précisant que le titre de la recherche : MÉTHODES ET OUTILS DE LA

*Meeting Description*
For the past 23 years, the European Summer School in Logic, Language
and Information (ESSLLI) has been organized every year by the
Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI) in different
sites around Europe. The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface
between linguistics, logic and computation.

ESSLLI offers foundational, introductory and advanced courses, as well
as workshops, covering a wide variety of topics within the three areas
of interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic
and Computation. Previous summer schools have been highly successful,
attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school
has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion
for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study
of Logic, Language and Information. During two weeks, around 50
courses and 10 workshops are offered to the attendants, each of 1.5
hours per day during a five days week, with up to seven parallel
sessions. ESSLLI also includes a student session (papers and posters
by students only, 1.5 hour per day during the two weeks) and four
evening lectures by senior scientists in the covered areas.

In 2011, ESSLLI will held in Ljubljana, Slovenia and will be organized
by the Slovenian Language Technologies Society (SDJT), the Jožef
Stefan Institute (IJS) and The Faculty of Mathematics and Physics
(FMF) in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Chair of the Program Committee is Makoto
Kanazawa (National Institute of Informatics, Japan), and Chair of the
Organizing Committee is Darja Fišer (The University of Ljubljana,
Slovenia). To contact the ESSLLI 2011 Organizing Committee, write to:

The Thirteenth Conference of the European Chapter of the Association
for Computational Linguistics http://www.eacl2012.org
Avignon, France
April 23-27, 2012
Call for demos

EACL 2012 features a special session for demonstrations. Topics of
interest cover all aspects of computational linguistics, as outlined
in the main conference call for papers. Demos will be presented at
specific sessions from the main program of the conference.

The demo track allows researchers and practitioners to demonstrate
their new and innovative systems while interacting with their audience
in an informal setting.  Demos' submissions should be concerned with
mature systems or prototypes in which computational linguistics or NLP
technologies are used to solve practically important problems. Demo
papers should make clear which aspects of the system will be
demonstrated, and how the system is used to solve practical
problems. It should include a discussion of the implementation and
case studies of how the system is applied.

Requirements

At least one author of each accepted demo paper must register for and
attend the conference, and demonstrate the system during the demo
sessions (please see the Conference Policies).  Authors of accepted
demos may also be required to demonstrate their systems at additional
events during the conference.  Each accepted demo paper will be
allocated four pages in the conference proceedings; no extra pages can
be purchased.  Demo authors are not required to transfer copyright
Submission Procedure

Authors of demos should submit an original paper describing their
proposed presentation. The length of the paper is limited to 4 pages
excluding references which are unlimited. The submission should be in
line with the EACL 2012 main conference formatting styles and
instructions for authors.


Proposals for demos should provide:

1.  an overview of what the demonstration aims to achieve

2.  how the demo illustrates novel ideas

3.  any URLs that link to screen-shots, live demos, or related
    information

4.  equipment or facilities required for the system demonstration
    Reviewing

Demos will be blind peer-reviewed by two members of the Demos Program
Committee, who will judge the originality, significance, quality, and
clarity of each submission.

Thème de la journée
-------------------------

Le traitement des entités nommées a été un champ de recherche très
actif ces dernières années. Si de nombreuses avancées ont été
réalisées, on constate cependant que les technologies ont
essentiellement évolué à la demande, à travers campagnes d'évaluation
et besoins applicatifs. Aujourd'hui, diverses questions se posent,
autant sur l'état des connaissances sur le sujet que du point de vue
des perspectives de recherche.

D'un point de vue linguistique, ces unités linguistiques ne semblent
pas encore complètement formalisées. Si de récents travaux en ont
proposé plusieurs définitions, il reste difficile d'obtenir un
consensus sur le sujet. D'où l'opportunité d'un échange, d'une part
sur la nature des entités nommées, d'autre part (et rétroactivement)
sur les normes, les typologies, les méthodes à utiliser dans un
processus d'annotation (manuelle ou automatique). Ce sujets sont
d'autant plus importants qu'à l'échelle française et européenne, des
projets en cours de réalisation (ETAPE, QUAERO, ...) sont fortement
dépendants de ces questions et tentent d'y apporter des réponses.

Par ailleurs, si la reconnaissance d'entités nommées a atteint une
certaine maturité pour traiter, notamment, des textes journalistiques
généralistes, de nombreuses questions restent ouvertes : intervention
en sortie de reconnaissance automatique de la parole ou sur des textes
récupérés en temps réel dans des flux d'actualités (dont entités
hors-vocabulaire), suivi d'entités nommées (chaînes coréférentielles),
désambiguisation hors-contexte / en contexte...

We still have places remaining for Autumn 2011 on our Masters in
Language Technology in Gothenburg.  Students who wish to apply can
contact us directly at info at cling.gu.se.  General information can be
found at http://www.flov.gu.se/mlt.

Robin Cooper



The Masters in Language Technology (MLT) at the University of
Gothenburg is an international masters programme which can lead to
either a one-year or a two-year degree.  Deadline for applications in
the current round for Swedish and EU students is 15th April, 2011.
For further information see
http://www.flov.gu.se/english/education/masters-second-cycle/mlt/.

Students are taught by researchers who are engaged in developing the
latest technologies within the University of Gothenburg's priority
research area in language technology at our Centre for Language
Technology (CLT, http://www.clt.gu.se/), a collaboration between four
departments at the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of
Technology (Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of
Science, Department of Swedish, Department of Computer Science and
Engineering and Department of Applied Information Technology).  We
encourage students to work on their masters projects in one of CLT's
three labs: dialogue technology lab, grammar technology lab, and text
technology lab.

Language technology research and teaching in Gothenburg is
characterized by a focus on the contribution of theoretical and
rule-based approaches appropriately combined with statistical
techniques.  Students therefore receive instruction in linguistic
theory as applied to language technology as well as current approaches
to language technology.  The programme draws students from a wide
variety of backgrounds including linguistics, computer science,
cognitive science and philosophy.  The programme is heavily oriented
towards practical programming techniques (currently using the
programming language Python) but we do not require that students
entering the programme necessarily have a background in programming.
They should, however, be prepared to learn programming techniques in
an intensive introduction provided at the beginning of the programme.

24th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
ESSLLI 2012
August 6-17, 2012
Opole, Poland
http://www.esslli2012.pl
Call for Course and Workshop Proposals
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI)
is organized every year by the Association for Logic, Language and
Information (FoLLI, http://www.folli.org/) in different sites around
Europe. The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between
linguistics, logic and computer science.  ESSLLI offers foundational,
introductory and advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a
wide variety of topics within or around the three main areas of
interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and
Computation. Previous summer schools have been highly successful,
attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school
has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion
for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study
of Logic, Language and Information. For more information, visit the
FoLLI website, as well as the ESSLLI 2011 website:
http://esslli2011.ijs.si/.


CALL FOR COURSE AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The ESSLLI 2012 Program Committee invites proposals for foundational,
introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 24th
annual Summer School on important topics of active research in the
broad interdisciplinary area connecting logic, linguistics, computer
science and the cognitive sciences.

All proposals should be submitted via the EasyChair system, using a
prescribed form that is available on the ESSLLI 2012 website, no later
than:

June 19, 2011 (extended)

Authors of proposals will be notified of the committee's decision by
September 15, 2011.


GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION

Proposers of courses and workshops should follow the guidelines below
while preparing their submissions; proposals that do not conform with
these guidelines may not be considered.

Courses are taught by 1 or max. 2 lecturers, and workshops are
organized by 1 or max. 2 organizers. Lecturers and organizers must
have obtained a Ph.D. or an equivalent degree at the time of the
submission deadline. Courses and workshops run over one week
(Monday-Friday) and consist of five 90-minute sessions.  Lecturers who
want to offer a long, two-week course should submit two independent
one-week courses (for example, an introductory course in the first
week and an advance course in the second). The ESSLLI program
committee has the right to select only one of the two proposed
courses.


FOUNDATIONAL COURSES

These are strictly elementary courses not assuming any background
knowledge.  They are intended for people who wish to get acquainted
with the problems and techniques of areas new to them. Ideally, they
should allow researchers from other fields to acquire the key
competencies of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the
development of a truly interdisciplinary research community.
Foundational courses should have no special prerequisites, but may
presuppose some experience with scientific methods and general
appreciation of the field of the course.


INTRODUCTORY COURSES

Introductory courses are central to the activities of the Summer
School.  They are intended to provide an introduction to the
(interdisciplinary) field for students, young researchers, and other
non-specialists, and to equip them with a good understanding of the
field's basic methods and techniques. Such courses should enable
experienced researchers from other fields to acquire the key
competencies of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the
development of a truly interdisciplinary research
community. Introductory courses in a topic at the interface of two
fields can build on some knowledge of the component fields; e.g., an
introductory course in computational linguistics should address an
audience which is familiar with the basics of linguistics and
computation. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the
level of the course as compared to standard texts in the area (if
available).


ADVANCED COURSES

Advanced courses should be pitched at an audience of advanced Masters
or Ph.D.  students. Proposals for advanced courses should specify the
prerequisites in detail.


TIMETABLE FOR COURSE PROPOSAL SUBMISSION:
Jun 15, 2011: Proposal Submission Deadline
Sep 15, 2011: Notification Deadline
Jun 1, 2012: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready course material by
the ESSLLI
2012 local organizers


WORKSHOPS

The aim of the workshops is to provide a forum for advanced
Ph.D. students and other researchers to present and discuss their
work. Workshops should have a well-defined theme, and workshop
organizers should be specialists in the theme of the workshop. The
proposals for workshops should justify the choice of topic, give an
estimate of the number of attendants and expected submissions, and
provide a list of at least 15 potential submitters working in the
field of the workshop. The organizers are required to give a general
introduction to the theme during the first session of the
workshop. They are also responsible for various organizational
matters, including soliciting submissions, reviewing, drawing up the
program, taking care of expenses of invited speakers, etc. In
particular, each workshop organizer will be responsible for sending
out a Call for Papers for the workshop and to organize the selection
of the submissions by the deadlines specified below.  The call for
workshop submissions must make it clear that the workshop is open to
all members of the ESSLLI community and should indicate that all
workshop contributors must register for the Summer School.

TIMETABLE FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS:

FORMAT FOR PROPOSALS

Forms for submitting course and workshop proposals are available on
the ESSLLI 2012 website.

The proposers are required to submit the following information:

* Contact address and fax number
* Name, email, affiliation, homepage of each lecturer / workshop
  organizer (at most two per course or workshop)
* Title of proposed course/workshop
* Abstract (abstract of the proposal, max 150 words)
* Type (workshop, foundational, introductory, or advanced course)
* Areas (one or more of: Computation, Language, Logic, or Other)
* Description (describe the proposed contents of the course and
  substantiate timeliness and relevance to ESSLLI in at most one A4
  page)
* Tentative outline of the course / expected participation in the
  workshop
* External funding (whether the proposers will be able to obtain
  external funding for travel and accommodation expenses)
* Further particulars (e.g., course prerequisites, previous teaching
  experiences, etc.)


FINANCIAL ASPECTS

Prospective lecturers and workshop organizers should be aware that all
teaching and organizing at the summer schools is done on a voluntary
basis in order to keep the participants' fees as low as
possible. Lecturers and organizers are not paid for their
contribution, but are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses
(up to fixed maximum amounts, which will be communicated to the
lecturers upon notification). Lecturers and workshop organizers will
have their registration fee waived. In case a course or workshop is to
be taught/organized by two people, a lump sum will be reimbursed to
cover travel and accommodation expenses for one of them; the splitting
of the sum is up to the lecturers/organizers. It should be stressed
that while proposals from all over the world are welcome, the School
cannot guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs, especially if
lecturers or organizers have to come from outside of Europe.

The local organizers would highly appreciate it if, whenever possible,
lecturers and workshop organizers find alternative funding to cover
travel and accommodation expenses, as that would help us keep the cost
of attending ESSLLI 2012 lower.

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

Description du projet :

L’objectif fondamental du projet est d’améliorer les méthodes et les
outils d’aide à la prévention des risques industriels à partir d’une
meilleure gestion du retour d’expérience et des exigences
sécurité. L’objet de base considéré est la procédure qui code aussi
bien la mise en production que la maintenance ou la gestion matérielle
et sociale de l’entreprise.

L’objectif est donc une amélioration progressive de ces procédures via
la rédaction collaborative. Ce projet aborde l’analyse de la
négociation entre les différents partenaires d’une entreprise et la
recherche de compromis pour une prise en compte améliorée du retour
d’expérience sur des thématiques de sécurité. Le projet se
concrétisera à travers des situations de rédaction collaborative de
documents procéduraux (production, maintenance, gestion, etc.)
impliquant divers facteurs de risque (santé, écologiques, sociaux,
psychologiques, économiques).

 
L’objectif est de réaliser des éléments d’un système d’aide à la
rédaction et la révision de documents procéduraux à partir de
documents de retour d’expérience produit par les techniciens en
opération. La difficulté est de maitriser l’intégration dans le
document initial des recommandations de retour d’expérience en évitant
des situations de chaos textuel. Le retour d’expérience sera, pour
l’heure, des notes écrites, toutefois nous n’excluons pas des images,
croquis ou vidéos.


Ces travaux seront basés sur la notion d’exigence argumentée, associée
à des formes d’explications, qui sera notre modèle transversal, modèle
pour la sécurité aussi bien que des attentes protagonistes et des
systèmes et organisations. Les exigences codent la structure, les
contraintes et les attentes du modèle de prévention du risque. Le
projet sera adossé à notre projet ANR LELIE (analyse et prévention des
risques tels que présents dans les procédures) qu’il complètera. Une
implémentation de type maquette est prévue et permettra d’évaluer les
résultats et les modes d’implantation de nos outils dans le monde
industriel ou associatif.

Notre démarche est largement expérimentale, mais avec une composante
formelle importante, nécessaire à ce type de travail (en intelligence
artificielle, en ingénierie du risque et en traitement automatique des
langues). Elle sera basée sur la définition et le traitement d’une
série de cas-tests progressivement plus complexes. Ceci permet une
meilleure maitrise des ‘risques’ liés à cette recherche qui ouvre
plusieurs voies peu explorées, dans un cadre métier marqué.

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

Le projet LELIE est dédié à l'analyse et à la prévention des risques
en milieu industriel tels qu'ils sont détectables à partir des
documents techniques élaborés par ces industries, en particulier les
documents procéduraux qui sont de loin les plus importants. Les
risques couvrent aussi bien les accidents du travail, que les risques
écologiques, sociaux, psychologiques et économiques.

Le projet se concentre sur l'analyse des textes procéduraux (liés à la
production, la maintenance, l'installation, la gestion du personnel,
etc.) via des formalismes et des technologies d'analyse de la langue
naturelle et de l'intelligence artificielle. Il est complété par une
analyse fine des processus en ergonomie cognitive.

Le scénario global: Etant donnés un certain nombre de textes
procéduraux d'un domaine industriel donné, le but est d'en analyser
automatiquement le contenu et de produire un certain nombre de
recommandations réalisées par le biais d'annotations dans ces textes,
permettant aux auteurs de procédures de faire les corrections qu'ils
jugent appropriées. Outre des connaissances linguistiques générales,
le projet s'appuie sur les connaissances métier disponibles du domaine
(ontologies, règles métier, exigences, etc.) et sur la réglementation
sécurité.  LELIE est développé sur le français et l'anglais et
s’appuie sur l’analyseur de discours <TextCoop>.

Le travail consistera essentiellement en développement de techniques
d’analyse du discours, du développement d’une architecture
linguistique, de cahiers de tests et de l’étude du déploiement d’une
application en milieu industriel, en collaboration avec la société de
valorisation.

Le projet LELIE est présenté sous :
http://www.irit.fr/recherches/ILPL/lelie/accueil.html
Les travaux concerneraient en particulier les tâches T3 et T6.

Chers/chères collègues,

J'ai le plaisir de vous annoncer la parution de l'ouvrage:

Étienne Brunet - Ce qui compte. Écrits choisis, tome II. Méthodes
statistiques
Paris, Champion, 2011. 376 pages. ISBN 9782745322258.
Collection Lettres numériques.
Textes édités par Céline Poudat; préface de Ludovic Lebart.

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

Ce volume recueille une sélection de dix-sept textes d’Étienne Brunet
abordant les questions statistiques et informatiques pertinentes pour
le traitement linguistique de corpus.

Organisées chronologiquement, ces études parcourent quarante années
d’une recherche qui explore sans relâche les rapports entre
statistique et linguistique. Elles vont de l’évaluation des mesures à
l’annotation et à la lemmatisation des corpus textuels. Ainsi voit-on,
au fil des débats qui ont marqué ces disciplines, se structurer les
champs de la lexicométrie et de la linguistique de corpus.

Exposées et illustrées avec clarté, les méthodes présentées pourront
être exploitées avec le logiciel HYPERBASE, installé sur le DVD de
corpus littéraires annexé à ce volume.

Préfacé par Ludovic Lebart, cet ouvrage est ainsi un indispensable
guide méthodologique et permet de répondre aux questions que posent
aujourd’hui l’analyse de données textuelles et la linguistique de
corpus.

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

First Call for Papers

2nd Workshop on the Multilingual Semantic Web,

collocated with the 10th International Semantic Web Conference
(ISWC2011) in Bonn, Germany.

http://msw2.deri.ie

Given the substantial growth of Web users that create and update
knowledge all over the world in languages other than English,
multilingualism has become an issue of major interest for the Semantic
Web community. This process has been accelerated due to initiatives
such as the Linked Data project, which encourages not only governments
and public institutes to make their data available to the public, but
also private organizations in domains such as medicine, geography,
music etc. These actors often publish their data sources in their
respective languages, and as such, in order to make this information
interoperable and accessible to members of other linguistic
communities, multilingual knowledge representation, access and
translation are an impending need.

Given the success of the first edition of this workshop, which was
co-located with the 19th International World Wide Web Conference
(WWW2010), we were encouraged to organize the second version of this
series. In this second edition we will have a special focus on:

 - representation of multilingual information and language resources
   in Semantic Web and Linked Data formats

 - cross-lingual discovery and representation of mappings between
   multilingual Linked Data vocabularies and datasets

 - cross-lingual querying of knowledge repositories and Linked Data

 - machine translation and localization strategies for the Semantic
   Web


Further topics of interest include:

 - standards and best practices for representing multilingual data on
   the Web

 - transformation of (multilingual) resources to Semantic Web and
   Linked Data representations

 - architectures and infrastructure for a truly multilingual Semantic
   Web

 - models for multilingualism in knowledge representation, in
   particular OWL and RDF(S)

 - localization of ontologies to multiple languages, incl. label
   translation, multilingual terms

 - lexicon models for ontologies

 - automatic integration of (multilingual) lexicons with ontologies

 - multilingual and cross-lingual ontology-based information
   extraction and ontology population

 - multilingual aspects of semantic search of knowledge repositories

 - multilingual aspects of ontology verbalization

 - ontology learning across languages

Important Dates
August 15th - submission deadline
September 5th - notification
September 10th - camera-ready deadline
October 23th or 24th - workshop

Submission will be through the Easy Chair system:
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=msw2.

We will accept long papers of at most 12 pages (LNCS), short papers
describing preliminary results (max. 6 pages) as well as position
papers describing work on progress or planned work (max. 6 pages).

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


ABOUT TIA 2011

It is widely held that we are living in an era in which global
communication technology has enabled us to transcend borders and that
we are witnessing the advent of a global community. Although this
oft-repeated claim is not without foundation, it is also an undeniable
reality that one of the greatest obstacles to global communication --
the language barrier -- remains almost intact and manifests itself in
every facet of global communication.

Parallel to this, certain trends - which perhaps emerged quite a while
ago - have intensified to such an extent that they have become issues
of serious concern. One is the fragmentation not only of scientific
subjects but also of non-scientific activities, and the accompanying
subdivision of communications, even within a single language. For
example, mathematicians working on different topics use different
terminology sets, and the intersection between the jargon used by
gamers and that used by musicians is minimal; even among gamers,
different jargons are used depending on the type and genre of the
game.  The other is the massively reduced life expectancy of terms in
cutting-edge spheres. It is not uncommon to find that a set of terms
one learned several years ago is no longer in use.

While multilingual terminology is a well-established research topic,
these changes in the environment in which the topic is situated have
given it a new dimension and increased the challenges involved in
researching it. It is against this backdrop that we chose multilingual
aspects of terminology as the central topic for TIA 2011, while at the
same time welcoming a broad range of related topics.

TIA 2011 will be the ninth event in the successful series which
started out as a predominantly francophone conference. The conference
has gradually attracted a wider audience and over the past six years
it has grown to be a truly international conference. Welcome to TIA
2011!


TOPICS

Papers can address theoretical questions or methodological aspects.
Interdisciplinary work which emphasizes the convergence and
co-operation of multiple disciplines dealing with terminological
issues is welcome.

Papers addressing specific issues linked to the topic of multilingual
terminology will be particularly welcome, but we are also soliciting
original contributions on any of the following topics with a
theoretical, methodological or practical orientation:

Terminology acquisition and management
  * term acquisition
  * terminology structuring: acquisition of relations
  * terms as named entities
  * terminology evolution
  * terminology evaluation
  * multimodal information management in terminology

Terminology and knowledge representation
  * ontology construction from terminological resources
  * status of linguistic semantics and ontology
  * knowledge evolution and terminological dynamics

Terminology for applications
  * terminology in industrial applications
  * terminology in education
  * terminology for human translation
  * terminology for machine translation
  * terminology for natural language processing


IMPORTANT DATES

      17 June 2011   Deadline for submission
  8 September 2011   Notification
26 September 2011   Final camera-ready paper due
7-9 November 2011   Conference


FORMAT OF SUBMISSIONS

TIA 2011 solicits both regular papers, which present significant work,
and short papers, which typically present work in progress or a
smaller, focused contribution.The program committee may decide to
change the category of a paper before acceptance.

Regular papers, in English or French, should not exceed 7 pages in
ACL-HLT 2011 format (see below for LaTeX and MS Word style files),
including figures, examples and references. The mode of presentation
of long papers (orally or as posters) will be decided based on the
nature rather than on the quality of the work.

Short papers should not exceed 4 pages in the same format as regular
papers. They will also be presented orally or as posters at the
conference depending on the nature of the work.

Luc Boruta (Alpage/Inria)

nous parlera de :

Indicators of allophony and phonemehood: towards a plausible model of
the acquisition of phonology?

Résumé:

Though the phonemic inventory of a language is typically small,
phonetic and phonological processes yield manifold variants for each
phoneme. Allophonic rules relate phonemes to their variants,
describing the contexts in which the latter occur. I am interested in
describing procedures by which infants, learning their native
allophonic grammar, could reduce the variation and recover words from
the speech stream. Combining insights from both computational and
behavioral studies, I endorse the hypothesis that infants are good
distributional learners and that they might ‘bootstrap’ into language
by tracking statistical regularities in the signal. In the first part
of the talk I will adopt Peperkamp et al.'s framework to benchmark the
performance of individual acoustic, distributional and lexical
indicators. In the second part, I will combine indicators of different
types, reformulating the task as a clustering problem. I will show how
the so-called ‘parallel universes’ approach can incorporate the
advantages of individual indicators while avoiding artificial
interactions between them.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Numéro spécial de la revue TAL (Traitement Automatique des Langues)
sur les "Ressources linguistiques libres"

Ces dernières années, les évolutions du domaine du TAL, tant dans ses
approches que dans ses ambitions, ont changé de façon importante les
paradigmes de conception, de construction, d'exploitation et
d'évaluation des ressources linguistiques. En particulier,
l'importance prise par les approches empiriques ont fait croître les
besoins en corpus annotés et en ressources lexicales.  Un nombre de
plus en plus important de langues, parmi lesquelles le français et les
autres langues romanes, se sont équipées de ressources de plus en plus
sophistiquées.

Les ressources linguistiques sont textuelles, orales, voire
multimodales. Elles regroupent :

- des corpus écrits ou oraux, bruts ou, plus naturellement, enrichis
  d'annotations de toute nature, de la simple étiquette
  morphosyntaxique à une information prosodique, et d'un graphe de
  dépendance à des structures de discours.

- des ressources lexicales relevant de l'un ou l'autre des niveaux
  d'analyse linguistique, mais également de grammaires ou d'autres
  formes de modélisation de tous types de structures linguistiques —
  la frontière entre lexique et grammaire dépend d'ailleurs souvent de
  l'approche (cf. TAG, lexique-grammaire, etc).

- des ressources complexes, combinant corpus annoté et base de donnée
  lexicale associée et/ou combinant des informations issues de
  différents niveaux d'analyse linguistique.

Elles rassemblent une ou plusieurs variantes de la langue ou des
langues traitées : langue standard, langue journalistique, langue de
spécialité (avec souvent une grande importance donnée aux aspects
terminologiques), langue orale (éventuellement transcrite), blogs et
forums, SMS, etc.


Toutefois, le développement de ressources linguistiques est une tâche
longue, coûteuse et fortement sujette aux erreurs, quelles que soient
les approches utilisées. C'est une des raisons de l'importance
croissante prise par les ressources libres dont l'exploitation et la
redistribution sont possibles tout en garantissant le maintien du
droit d'auteur lors de toute modification.


L'objectif de ce numéro spécial porte sur toutes les problématiques
scientifiques liées aux ressources linguistiques de toutes
natures. Au-delà de la simple description de ressources qui reste
souvent d'un intérêt limité, les soumissions attendues porteront sur
l'ensemble des thématiques liées aux ressources linguistiques, et
notamment:

- la modélisation des données linguistiques constituant les ressources
  : (cadres formels linguistiquement motivés, représentations
  d'informations linguistiques sous forme de données structurées et/ou
  quantitatives, normes pour les ressources linguistiques…).

- les méthodologies de développement de ressources linguistiques,
  qu'elles soient purement manuelles, purement automatiques ou
  hybrides (techniques semi-supervisées, méthodes par transfert
  interlingue, utilisation d'outils de pré-annotation, interfaces de
  validation/correction, etc.) ; les approches favorisant à la fois la
  pertinence linguistique et la minimisation du "coût humain" seront
  particulièrement appréciées.

- la validation et l'évaluation des ressources linguistiques, y
  compris au sein de systèmes de TAL mais également de linguistique
  expérimentale ; les contributions devront montrer en quoi
  l'utilisation de ressources linguistiques a permis d'améliorer les
  performances d'un système ou la compréhension d'un phénomène et/ou
  constituer un moyen pertinent d'évaluer voire d'améliorer ces
  ressources linguistiques.


Sont attendues en priorité des contributions en lien avec des
ressources linguistiques pour le français, ou, mieux encore, des
ressources multilingues dont l'une des langues est le français. Les
travaux concernant des ressources pour d'autres langues romanes sont
également pertinentes. Parallèlement, les contributions en lien avec
des ressources libres seront particulièrement appréciées.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue of the TAL (Traitement Automatique des Langues / Natural
Language Processing) Journal on "Free Language Resources"

ATALA (French Association for Natural Language Processing) invites
authors to submit papers for the Special Issue on "Free Language
Resources".

Latest developments and applications in the field of Natural Language
Processing have significantly changed the paradigms for the design,
construction, operation and evaluation of, the so called, Language
Resources. In particular, the growing importance of empirical
approaches has raised the demand of corpora and lexica as major
sources of data on languages. An increasingly important number of
languages, including French and other Romance languages, are gradually
becoming equipped with new and richer resources.

Language Resources can be textual, oral or multimodal. They include:

- written or oral corpora, raw or, more interestingly, enriched with
  annotations of several kinds, which can range from morphosyntactic
  labels to prosodic information, from dependence graphs to discourse
  structure markup.

- lexical resources with information about one or more levels of
  linguistic analysis, and also grammars or other forms of modeling
  different types of language structures — the boundary between
  lexicon and grammar depends often on the approach (cf. TAG,
  lexicon-grammar, etc.).

- complex resources, combining an annotated corpus and an associated
  lexical database or combining information from different levels of
  linguistic analysis.


A language resource may involve one or more variants of the language
or languages covered: standard language, the language of journalism,
specialized language (often with great importance given to issues of
terminology), oral language (if transcribed), blogs and forums, SMS,
etc..


However, the development of language resources is a long, expensive
and highly error prone task regardless of the approaches used. This is
one of the reasons for the increasing importance of resources which
are freely available, so that authors and owners, while keeping the
authorship, allow for their exploitation, transformation and
redistribution.


The goal of this special issue is to focus on the full range of
scientific issues related to language resources that go beyond the
description of the resources by themselves. Thus, expected
contributions can cover all topics related to language resources,
including:

- Modeling of the language data that constitute the resource (both
  linguistically motivated formal frameworks, representation of
  linguistic information in the form of structured and/or quantitative
  data, standards for Language Resources ...)

- Methodologies for the development of Language Resources, either by
  hand, completely automatic or hybrid (semi-supervised techniques,
  interlingual transfer methods, use of pre-annotation tools,
  validation / correction interfaces, etc.), approaches promoting
  linguistic relevance while minimizing the "human cost" are most
  welcome.

- Methods for validation and evaluation of language resources
  including extrinsic evaluation within NLP systems and for
  experimental linguistic purposes. Contributions must show how the
  use of language resources has caused system performance
  improvements, better understanding of phenomenon and/or be a means
  to assess or improve these language resources.


Language Resources for French, or better multilingual resources or
language independent methods where French is one of the addressed
languages, are the main objective of this call. Works on resources for
other Romance languages are also relevant. In addition, contributions
related to free resources will be particularly appreciated.

========================================================================
AND 2011
Fifth Workshop on
Analytics for Noisy Unstructured Text Data
In conjunction with
the 11th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition
(ICDAR)
September 17th, 2011
Beijing, China
http://and2011.cse.lehigh.edu/
========================================================================

Noisy unstructured text data is ubiquitous in real-world
communication. Natural language and the creative ways that humans use
it can create problems for computational techniques. Electronic text
from the Internet (emails, message boards, newsgroups, blogs, wikis,
chatlogs and web pages), contact centers (complaints, emails, call
transcriptions, message summaries), and mobile phones (SMS) is often
noisy - contains spelling errors, abbreviations, non-standard words,
false starts, repetitions, missing punctuation, missing case
information and special characters.

Informal communications are not the only source of noisy text; Text
produced by processing signals intended for human use such as
printed/handwritten documents, spontaneous speech, and camera-captured
scene images, are prime examples. Recognition errors made by Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
systems can result in imperfect transcriptions. An increasing stream
of imperfect OCR results are featured by ongoing mass-digitization of
the world's written cultural heritage.  Such noise in text has raised
new sets of challenges for the task of Information Retrieval and
Knowledge Management.

Handling noisy text poses new challenges for Information Extraction
(IE), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Information Retrieval (IR)
and Knowledge Management (KM). Special handling of noise as well as
noise-robust IR and KM techniques are essential to overcome these
challenges. As in the case of AND 07, 08, 09, and 10, we intend that
AND 2011 will provide researchers an opportunity to present their
latest results toward addressing these challenges. We seek papers
dealing with all aspects of noisy unstructured text data, its
processing and applications. We particularly encourage contributions
that look toward solving real life problems.

We welcome original research papers that identify key problems related
to noisy text analytics and offer solutions. Potential topics include
(but not limited to):

- Noise induced by document analysis techniques and its impact on
  downstream applications
- Formal theory on characterization of noise
- Genre recognition based on the type of noise
- Robust parsing and Part of Speech (POS) tagging
- Characterizing, modelling and accounting for historical language
  change
- Methods for detecting and correcting errors in noisy text
- Information extraction and retrieval from noisy text data
- Automatic classification and clustering of noisy unstructured data
- Noise-invariant document summarization techniques
- Issues in keyword search in presence of noise in unstructured data
- Machine Translation for noisy text
- Analyzing very short communications like those on Twitter
- Techniques for analysis and mining of call-logs, transcribed calls,
  web logs, chat logs, emails, tweets
- Business Intelligence (BI) applications dealing with noisy text data
- Surveys relating to noisy text analytics

TOTh 2011 : WORKSHOP - JOURNEE D'ETUDE
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Journée d’étude TOTh

Le succès que connaissent les conférences TOTh, 5 ans après leur
première édition, illustre tout l’intérêt de lier la terminologie et
l’ontologie, deux disciplines qui, bien que différentes, partagent des
préoccupations communes.

Les conférences TOTh, sous la caution scientifique d’un comité de
programme international, ont atteint aujourd’hui une organisation
stable. Précédées d’une formation, elles couvrent à travers une
conférence d’ouverture, des articles de recherche et d’application
ainsi qu’une disputatio un large champ d’études et d’investigation.

Le besoin se fait aujourd’hui sentir de mettre en place des journées
d’étude TOTh afin d’approfondir un sujet en relation avec les thèmes
de la conférence. Les journées d’étude sont organisées et accueillies
par un partenaire (université ou organisation) en accord avec le
comité de programme de TOTh. D’une durée d’un jour, elles sont
planifiées à mi-parcours, entre deux éditions successives des
conférences TOTh du mois de juin.

1ère Journée d’étude TOTh
« La définition en terminologie »

La première journée d’étude TOTh portera sur « La définition en
terminologie ». Organisée par le Centre de Linguistique de
l’Universidade Nova de Lisboa et l’Equipe Condillac, elle se déroulera
le lundi 21 novembre à la fondation Calouste Gulbenkian à Lisbonne.

TOTh Workshop

The success of the TOTh conferences since their inception five years
ago shows the widespread interest in linking terminology and ontology,
two disciplines which, although different, share common concerns.

The TOTh conferences, with the scientific backing of an international
committee, have achieved a stable structure. Preceded by a training
session, they encompass an open-minded conference comprising items of
research and of application as well as wide-ranging debate on items of
study and investigation.

The need is now felt to put in place some TOTh workshops in order to
go into individual subjects in depth in relation to the themes of the
TOTh conferences. The workshops are organised and accommodated by a
partner (a university or organisation) in agreement with the TOTh
programme committee. Lasting one day, they are planned midway between
two successive June TOTh conferences.

1st TOTh Workshop
« The definition in terminology »

The first TOTh workshop will be about « The definition in terminology
». It is being organised by the Linguistic Centre of the Universidade
Nova de Lisboa and the Condillac Research Group, and will be held on
Monday, 21st November 2011, at the Calouste Gulbenkian foundation in
Lisbon.

You will find the description of the 1st TOTh Workshop at the address below.

Vacancy: PhD position

The Department of Computer Science (LIA) of the Université d'Avignon,
southern France, is looking for a PhD student to work in the area of
Statistical Machine Translation.

LIA has performed research in many fields of Natural Language
Processing for more than 20 years. It has in particular a strong
experience in spoken language systems.


Topic: Speech statistical machine translation

Last years' most efficient Machine Translation (MT) systems are based
on statistical methods. To increase their capacities, these approaches
require large database with examples, which may be hard in some cases,
for some specialized domains for instance. Besides, MT systems have to
deal with transcription errors when they are applied on hypotheses
generated by speech recognition systems. A relevant research prospect
is to use information of different types when applying MT.

The use of syntax has recently allowed recent breakthroughs in MT,
either using parsing trees or hierarchical models. In the context of
spontaneous spoken documents that severely disturb syntactic analysis,
other information has to be considered. Semantics for a specific
context could be used instead as additional features for MT models.


Candidate profile

The successful candidate will have a Master's degree (or equivalent
qualification) in Computer Science with a good background in
Computational Linguistics or Artificial intelligence by the time of
appointment.

The PhD will be funded by a grant from the French government. It is
expected to start on october 2011.
Please send a CV to Fabrice Lefèvre (fabrice.lefevre... at univ-avignon.fr) 
and
Stéphane Huet (stephane.huet... at univ-avignon.fr) by *Monday 20th June*.

*/La cooccurrence : du fait statistique au fait textuel/*

Besançon, 8-9-10 février 2012

(/english version below/)

Depuis 60 ans et l'historique affirmation de Firth « you shall judge a
word by the company it keeps », les travaux sur la cooccurrence se
sont multipliés dans le monde pour devenir un champ à part entière de
la linguistique de corpus et de la linguistique textuelle.

Au-delà des perspectives très diverses (études phraséologiques,
extraction d'expressions idiomatiques, traduction automatique,
désambiguïsation sémantique d'homographes, fouille de textes,
description et modélisation textuelles, mise à jour des thématiques du
discours, etc.), au-delà aussi des variantes terminologiques pas
uniquement imputables à des effets de traduction (/cooccurrence/,
/collocation/, /colligation/, /corrélats/, /associations/, etc.), ces
travaux foisonnants reposent sur une posture contextualisante commune
et sur une approche probabiliste du langage partagée [London school
(Firth et Halliday) puis Birmingham school (Sinclair), Laboratoire de
Saint-Cloud (Tournier), etc.]. Le postulat est en effet ici que le
sens naît toujours en contexte, qu'il se construit à partir du
co-texte, et la cooccurrence représente la seule forme objectivable,
minimale mais calculable, de ce co-texte.

Le colloque « La cooccurrence : du fait statistique au fait textuel »
(Besançon, 8-10 février 2012) veut aujourd'hui faire le point sur les
études en cours, confronter les méthodologies, analyser les enjeux.

Sans exclure les études lexicologiques, phraséologiques ou le
traitement automatique de la langue dont les avancées théoriques aussi
bien que les nouveaux algorithmes de calcul, les outils d'extraction
et de représentation des réalités cooccurrentielles pourront être
présentés, on portera une attention particulière, dans la voie
lointainement initiée par Halliday & Hasan, à *la cooccurrence comme
facteur primordial de la textualité*.

Partant du simple calcul des paires de mots statistiquement
cooccurrentes dans le corpus ou du simple repérage des mots
statistiquement associés à un mot-pôle donné, les contributions
devront chercher à apporter un éclairage novateur sur des phénomènes
cooccurrentiels plus complexes comme les réseaux cooccurrentiels
intriqués qui structurent un texte, la cooccurrence généralisée
(Viprey) ou la poly-cooccurrence (Martinez) qui construisent des
structures d'équivalence, ou de résonance, non obvies, ou encore sur
les cooccurrences indirectes (A => B => C) ou de deuxième génération
qui à force d'itération prétendent épuiser le texte. Si le texte est
aujourd'hui perçu comme une entité réticulaire avec ses récurrences,
ses échos, ses rhizomes, la cooccurrence doit permettre de le décrire
et le modéliser.

L'axe syntagmatique et la linéarité orientée du texte pourront aussi
être problématisés. D'abord purement statistique, la définition de la
cooccurrence comme coprésence régulière de deux unités linguistiques
dans une fenêtre textuelle donnée pourra être enrichie par des
contraintes distributionnelles dans la tradition harrissienne ou des
contraintes de contiguïté, d'orientation, de place ou d'enchaînement
pour rejoindre la notion de /pattern/, de /segment répété/ (Salem) ou
de /motif/ (Longrée et Mellet).

Enfin, une attention particulière pourra être portée aux cooccurrences
sur des niveaux linguistiques étagés, c'est-à-dire à celles qui
concernent non pas seulement deux mots comme c'est habituellement le
cas dans le cadre du traitement du vocabulaire, mais deux éléments
grammaticaux, ou, de manière croisée, des éléments lexicaux et
grammaticaux, des lemmes et des étiquettes morphosyntaxiques, etc.

Certaines communications pourront porter sur l'histoire proprement
dite de cette dimension dans la constitution et l'évolution de la
linguistique textuelle, dans les domaines francophone, anglo-saxon,
scandinave, mais aussi dans le reste du monde.

A l'exception de ces dernières, les propositions de communication
devront prendre appui sur l'étude de corpus précisément définis et,
par delà le traitement et l'analyse des données, mettre fortement en
évidence l'apport méthodologique et/ou théorique de la contribution.

Les langues du colloque seront le français et l'anglais.

*/Co-occurrence: from a statistical to a textual phenomenon/*

Call for papers

60 years ago, Firth declared, "you shall judge a word by the company
it keeps." Since he made that historic statement, studies on
co-occurrence patterns have multiplied in the world and have now
become a field in their own right, existing within the larger fields
of corpus linguistics and text linguistics.

Work focusing on co-occurrence patterns has adopted a great variety of
perspectives, focusing on, for example, phraseological phenomena,
automatic extraction of idioms, automatic translation, homograph
disambiguation, text mining, textual description and modelling, and
retrieval of discourse themes. Also, the terminology used has
displayed a notable diversity (which may not be entirely explained by
translation effects): indeed, the phenomena examined have been
referred to as co-occurrence patterns, collocations, colligations,
correlates, associations, and other terms. However, one should not be
puzzled, because, in spite of these visible differences, studies on
co-occurrence patterns all share a common postulate regarding the
essential role of context in the elaboration of word meaning, and they
all bring a probabilistic approach to the study of language [see
London school (Firth and Halliday), Birmingham school (Sinclair),
Laboratoire Saint-Cloud (Tournier), etc]. In brief, they assume that
(i) meaning is always a contextual phenomenon and is elaborated on the
basis of the co-text; and (ii) co-occurrence patterns are to be
considered as the only objectified units of the context, a minimal yet
calculable form.

The colloquium "Co-occurrence: from a statistical to a textual
phenomenon", to be held in Besançon from 8-10 February 2012, intends
to take stock of current studies, to compare methodologies, and to
analyse the scientific stakes involved.

Lexicological and phraseological studies, as well as work on natural
language processing, may be submitted. Contributions may also present
new logarithms, or new tools for extracting and modelling
co-occurrence phenomena. Work that would embrace the path opened long
ago by Halliday and Hasan, /i.e. /to//consider *textuality as being
primarily built by co-occurrence facts*,**would be most appreciated.

Whether the contributions rely on the simple computation of word pairs
that statistically co-occur within a given corpus, or on the simple
identification of words that are statistically associated with a
word-pole, it is expected that they will shed light on more complex
structures such as the intricate co-occurrence networks organizing a
text, generalised co-occurrences (Viprey), or polyco-occurrences
(Martinez), which contribute to the establishment of
underlyingequivalence or resonance structures. Contributions may also
address indirect co-occurrence patterns A => B => C (also called
second-generation co-occurrence patterns) which, if repeated several
times, help reveal the content of a text. Indeed, since a text is now
widely considered as a reticular entity formed by recurrent patterns,
echoes, and rhizomes, then co-occurrence patterns should make text
description and modelling possible.

The issues of the syntagmatic axis and the linear orientation of a
text may also be debated. Co-occurrence patterns have been defined,
first, as a purely statistical phenomenon,/i.e/. as the regular
co-presence of two linguistic units within a given textual window; but
it may be improved by identifying distributional constraints
(following the tradition of Harris's work) or constraints affecting
adjacency relations, or the orientation, position and/or sequencing of
given units; work of this kind would then meet the notions
of/pattern/, /repeated segments/ (Salem) or /motifs/ (Longrée and
Mellet).

Finally, special attention may also be given to multi-level
co-occurrence patterns /i.e./ patterns connecting two grammatical
units (and not two lexical items as is usually the case when one
analyses the vocabulary of a given corpus); studies may also cross
linguistic levels and focus on the co-occurrence of lexical units with
grammatical units, lemmas with morpho-syntactic tags, etc.

A certain number of submissions concerned with the history of the
notion of /co-occurrence/ and its role in the emergence and evolution
of textual linguistics will be accepted; the tradition may be
investigated in French-speaking countries, in the Anglo-Saxon and
Scandinavian areas, or in the rest of the world.

With the exception of this last (historical) orientation, submissions
must rely on precisely defined corpora, and, beyond the processing and
analysis of the data, they must emphasize the methodological and/or
theoretical contribution to the field.

The languages of the conference are French and English.

Proposition de post-doctorat à l'université de Caen, laboratoires
GREYC / CRISCO.

Projet Outils et Méthodes pour l’exploration des textes en Sciences 
Humaines
============== ============== ==============

Ce projet interdisciplinaire vise l'utilisation de techniques de
fouille de données ou de fouille de textes sur des problématiques
linguistiques (analyse de discours, stylistique, linguistique de
corpus, etc.).

L'objectif du travail de post-doc est la constitution et
l'exploitation des outils informatiques capables de détecter des «
motifs » lexicaux et grammaticaux dans des corpus ; plus exactement,
les méthodes en TAL et en fouille de données développées au
laboratoire Greyc ont un avantage certain sur les outils «
traditionnels » de la linguistique de corpus, dans le sens où elles
mettent en œuvre des logiciels puissants pour l’identification des
motifs séquentiels. Ces méthodes ont été éprouvées sur le problème de
la détection d’interactions entre gènes ou sur l'apprentissage de
patrons linguistiques dans des articles de presse ; l’originalité de
ce projet est donc d’appliquer ces méthodes sur des discours plus
complexes, à savoir des textes à valeurs littéraires, sociologiques ou
historiques. L’objectif est donc :

- d'utiliser les outils de fouille de données permettant
  l’identification de séquences / motifs pour l'analyse stylistique ;

- d'utiliser des outils permettant l'identification de réseaux
  phrastiques dans les textes ;

- d’adapter ces outils à l’utilisation non experte, afin de les
  mutualiser pour des disciplines différentes ;

- de concevoir des représentations de résultats facilement
  interprétables ;

- de concevoir des méthodes et outils adéquats et pertinents pour
  l’exploration textuelle en Sciences Humaines.

Compétences attendues du post-doctorant
==========================

Nous recherchons un candidat

- ayant un profil en traitement automatique des langues ou en fouille
  de données ;

- et ayant des compétences en développement informatique (notamment
  pour mettre au point des outils destinés à des non-spécialistes).

Environnement de travail
==============

Le post-doc sera accueilli au Greyc. Il travaillera en collaboration
avec Dominique Legallois (linguistique, Crisco) et Thierry Charnois
(TAL / fouille de données, équpes Dlu et Codag du Greyc) .

Ce travail interdisciplinaire s'inscrit dans le prolongement d'un
travail déjà amorcé et ayant donné lieu à des premiers résultats
(Legallois et al. 2011). Il s'appuie aussi sur des travaux liés à
l'hybridation de méthodes de fouille de données et du traitement des
langues (Cellier et Charnois 2010, Charnois et al 2009), ainsi que sur
les travaux plus linguistiques (Legallois 2009 ; 2006).

La durée du contrat est de 12 mois (démarrage prévu en septembre
2011).  Salaire : environ 1900 euros nets sur financement CPER
(Conseil Régional Basse-Normandie)

Contacts : Thierry Charnois (informatique, Greyc) ; Dominique Legallois 
(Sciences du langage, Crisco)

Le laboratoire GREYC CNRS UMR 6072 de l'université de Caen
Basse-Normandie propose un post-doc financé par la Région
Basse-Normandie sur un projet de recherche.

Sujet : développement de méthodes de fouille de données pour
l'extraction de connaissances à partir de textes
=====

Contexte
========

L'objectif général de ce travail est de développer de nouvelles
méthodes de fouille de données adaptées aux spécificités du texte en
tirant profit des complémentarités des techniques de traitement
automatique des langues avec celles des techniques de fouille.

L'idée consiste à tirer parti de la capacité des méthodes de fouille à
faire émerger des régularités et des motifs sur des données
volumineuses, - les motifs découverts étant ensuite utilisables en TAL
en tant que patrons linguistiques ou règles d'extraction -, ainsi qu'à
développer des méthodes de fouille adaptées aux spécificités du texte.
L'originalité de ce sujet est ainsi de croiser les techniques de TAL
(notamment pour l'extraction d'information) et de fouille de données.

Il existe un savoir-faire au GREYC sur les méthodes de fouille de
données et du traitement automatique des langues (TAL), notamment en
extraction d'information, et depuis peu d'années, nous développons une
thématique émergente autour de l'hybridation de ces deux domaines
(Charnois 09 ; Plantevit 09 ; Cellier 10a ) dans le cadre du projet
Bingo2 (2008-2011, http://bingo2.greyc.fr) financé par l'ANR. Le
post-doc proposé se situe dans le prolongement de ce projet, et
s'appuie sur le projet ANR Hybride acceptée à l'appel à projets blanc
2011 de l'ANR.  Hybride regroupe le GREYC (équipe CoDaG), le LORIA
(équipe Orpailleur), MoDyCo (Paris X) et l'INSERM (Orphanet, sur les
maladies rares). Il a pour ambition de développer de nouvelles
méthodes et outils pour guider la découverte de connaissances à partir
de textes.


Travail proposé
==============

Pour adapter les algorithmes de fouille de données aux données
textuelles, le post-doctorant pourra, selon son profil, travailler sur
l'un ou l'autre des deux volets suivants :

1 ** Conception et mise au point d'une méthode pour la fouille de
données sous contraintes textuelles.**

Cet aspect pourra être initié par la réalisation d'un extracteur de
fouille de données séquentielles prenant en compte des itemsets et
intégrant des contraintes syntaxiques classiques (par ex. gap,
longueur, etc) mais aussi des contraintes "textuelles" : par
ex. l'appartenance ou non d'un type particulier d'item dans les motifs
extraits, ce type pouvant être spécifié par une information
linguistique (exemple : présence de la catégorie "verbe", ou encore
"verbe d'interaction"...) ; la formalisation et l'intégration des
contraintes textuelles sera à développer. L'objectif applicatif est
d'associer des informations linguistiques variées (morphologiques,
syntaxiques, sémantiques...) à des unités textuelles de différents
niveaux (mot, proposition, phrase...) : les unités textuelles sont par
nature ordonnées donc séquentielles, alors que les informations
linguistiques sont de type ensembliste (itemsets). L'expérimentation
consistera en un cas d'étude sur une collection de textes issue
d'Orphanet (base de données internationale sur les maladies rares
accessible via le web : http://www.orpha.net/). Pour aller au-delà de
la fouille de séquences, un prolongement de ce volet pourra porter sur
la fouille de graphes.

2 ** Etude de faisabilité de l'extension du cadre de la programmation
par contraintes à la fouille de séquences sous contraintes. **

Des travaux sur les liens PPC et fouille ont déjà été réalisés au
GREYC (Khiari 10) dans le cas des itemsets (qui est un cadre
ensembliste). Il s'agit maintenant d'étendre ces travaux pour prendre
en compte la séquentialité non seulement de données textuelles mais
aussi plus largement de toutes données ordonnées (fouille de
séquences). Une idée est l'exploitation de contraintes PPC comme la
contrainte REGULAR proposée par G. Pesant (CP'2004) pour l'extraction
de séquences fréquentes. Une extension de ce travail pourra porter sur
la fouille séquentielle sous contraintes souples.



* Profil
=======

Nous recherchons un informaticien ayant des connaissances dans au
moins l'un des domaines suivants : fouille de données, fouille de
textes, programmation par contraintes (PPC), apprentissage
automatique.

* Lieu, durée et rémunération

Contrat de 12 mois (possibilité de prolongation), à pourvoir à partir
de septembre 2011

*************** Séminaire Alpage *******************

Séminaire de l'école doctorale de Paris 7

Il s'agit du séminaire de recherche en linguistique informatique
organisé par l'équipe Alpage, Alpage est une équipe mixte Inria --
Paris 7 qui centre ses intérêts scientifiques autour de l'analyse
syntaxique automatique et du traitement du discours pour la langue
française.

Le prochain séminaire se tiendra vendredi 17 juin de 11.00 à 13.00 en
salle 3E91
à l'UFRL, 175, rue du Chevaleret, 75013 Paris (3e étage)

Toute personne intéressée est la bienvenue.

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

Charlotte Roze  (Alpage/Inria)

nous parlera de :

Vers une algèbre des relations de discours pour la comparaison de
structures discursives

Résumé :
 
Le traitement automatique du discours vise principalement à développer
des systèmes permettant de générer des analyses de la structure
discursive d’un texte, constituées de relations de discours établies
entre ses différentes parties.

Dans cette perspective, la constitution de corpus de référence et
l’évaluation des annotations produites par les systèmes d’analyse
automatique sont des tâches primordiales. La constitution de corpus de
référence nécessite bien souvent la « fusion » de différentes
annotations d’un même texte, donc la comparaison de structures
discursives. L’évaluation des annotations générées par un système
implique elle aussi la comparaison de structures discursives.

Les questions qui se posent dans un objectif de construction d’une
référence ou d’évaluation sont les suivantes : comment comparer deux
annotations en discours ? quelles structures de discours sont
équivalentes ou compatibles ? En effet, deux annotations discursives
d’un même texte peuvent différer sans que l’une ou l’autre soit pour
autant « fausse » ou « incomplète ».
 
On propose une méthodologie pour la construction de règles de
déduction de relations de discours. La construction de ces règles a
pour principal objectif de pouvoir calculer la fermeture discursive
d'une structure de discours, c'est-à-dire de déduire toutes les
relations que la structure contient implicitement. Calculer les
relations implicitement contenues dans des structures discursives peut
permettre d'améliorer leur comparaison.  La méthodologie présentée
s'appuie sur : l'exploitation d'un corpus d'annotations discursives ;
la définition théorique des relations de discours ; l’annotation de
données empiriques, extraites à partir de corpus non annotés en
discours.

Thème de la journée
-------------------------

Le traitement des entités nommées a été un champ de recherche très
actif ces dernières années. Si de nombreuses avancées ont été
réalisées, on constate cependant que les technologies ont
essentiellement évolué à la demande, à travers campagnes d'évaluation
et besoins applicatifs. Aujourd'hui, diverses questions se posent,
autant sur l'état des connaissances sur le sujet que du point de vue
des perspectives de recherche.

D'un point de vue linguistique, ces unités linguistiques ne semblent
pas encore complètement formalisées. Si de récents travaux en ont
proposé plusieurs définitions, il reste difficile d'obtenir un
consensus sur le sujet. D'où l'opportunité d'un échange, d'une part
sur la nature des entités nommées, d'autre part (et rétroactivement)
sur les normes, les typologies, les méthodes à utiliser dans un
processus d'annotation (manuelle ou automatique). Ce sujets sont
d'autant plus importants qu'à l'échelle française et européenne, des
projets en cours de réalisation (ETAPE, QUAERO, ...) sont fortement
dépendants de ces questions et tentent d'y apporter des réponses.

Par ailleurs, si la reconnaissance d'entités nommées a atteint une
certaine maturité pour traiter, notamment, des textes journalistiques
généralistes, de nombreuses questions restent ouvertes : intervention
en sortie de reconnaissance automatique de la parole ou sur des textes
récupérés en temps réel dans des flux d'actualités (dont entités
hors-vocabulaire), suivi d'entités nommées (chaînes coréférentielles),
désambiguisation hors-contexte / en contexte...

The computer science laboratory of the University of Le Mans (LIUM)
(http://www-lium.univ-lemans.fr/en/content/language-and-speech-technology-lst)
was recently awarded two major international grants and we are seeking
to substantially expand the group working on statistical machine
translation.  The team currently consists of nine permanent, postdoc
and PhD researchers. We have funding to hire 4 to 6 postdocs or PhD
students.  We also consider applications from computer science
engineers with a proven record of developments in the field for
natural language processing.

These positions are funded in the range of 49 to 55K Euros for a
postdoc, depending on qualification and experience. Funding is
available immediately and for up to three years.

Topics of interest are (but not limited to):
  - adaptation techniques
  - discriminative and unsupervised training, comparable corpora, etc
  - use of new machine learning methods, e.g. continuous space
    techniques
  - syntax-based methods

Prerequisites:
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in statistical
modeling, machine learning, language processing and machine
translation.  Several years of experience in using UNIX environments,
including the standard script and programming languages is a necessary
condition.  Knowledge of the Moses decoder will be considered
favorably.  We are particularly interested in native speakers of
Arabic, Chinese or Pashto.

The research is supported by a large computing cluster owned by our
group. The working language is English.

Please send a CV and names and contact information of three referees
to Holger.Schwenk at lium.univ-lemans.fr. Inquiries should be sent to the
same address.  Applications are welcome from now until the positions
will be filled. Interviews at EMNLP/WMT in July in Edinburgh can be
arranged.

24th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
ESSLLI 2012
August 6-17, 2012
Opole, Poland
http://www.esslli2012.pl
Call for Course and Workshop Proposals
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI)
is organized every year by the Association for Logic, Language and
Information (FoLLI, http://www.folli.org/) in different sites around
Europe. The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between
linguistics, logic and computer science.  ESSLLI offers foundational,
introductory and advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a
wide variety of topics within or around the three main areas of
interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and
Computation. Previous summer schools have been highly successful,
attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school
has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion
for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study
of Logic, Language and Information. For more information, visit the
FoLLI website, as well as the ESSLLI 2011 website:
http://esslli2011.ijs.si/.


CALL FOR COURSE AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The ESSLLI 2012 Program Committee invites proposals for foundational,
introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 24th
annual Summer School on important topics of active research in the
broad interdisciplinary area connecting logic, linguistics, computer
science and the cognitive sciences.

All proposals should be submitted via the EasyChair system, using a
prescribed form that is available on the ESSLLI 2012 website, no later
than:

June 19, 2011 (extended)

Authors of proposals will be notified of the committee's decision by
September 15, 2011.


GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION

Proposers of courses and workshops should follow the guidelines below
while preparing their submissions; proposals that do not conform with
these guidelines may not be considered.

Courses are taught by 1 or max. 2 lecturers, and workshops are
organized by 1 or max. 2 organizers. Lecturers and organizers must
have obtained a Ph.D. or an equivalent degree at the time of the
submission deadline. Courses and workshops run over one week
(Monday-Friday) and consist of five 90-minute sessions.  Lecturers who
want to offer a long, two-week course should submit two independent
one-week courses (for example, an introductory course in the first
week and an advance course in the second). The ESSLLI program
committee has the right to select only one of the two proposed
courses.


FOUNDATIONAL COURSES

These are strictly elementary courses not assuming any background
knowledge.  They are intended for people who wish to get acquainted
with the problems and techniques of areas new to them. Ideally, they
should allow researchers from other fields to acquire the key
competencies of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the
development of a truly interdisciplinary research community.
Foundational courses should have no special prerequisites, but may
presuppose some experience with scientific methods and general
appreciation of the field of the course.


INTRODUCTORY COURSES

Introductory courses are central to the activities of the Summer
School.  They are intended to provide an introduction to the
(interdisciplinary) field for students, young researchers, and other
non-specialists, and to equip them with a good understanding of the
field's basic methods and techniques. Such courses should enable
experienced researchers from other fields to acquire the key
competencies of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the
development of a truly interdisciplinary research
community. Introductory courses in a topic at the interface of two
fields can build on some knowledge of the component fields; e.g., an
introductory course in computational linguistics should address an
audience which is familiar with the basics of linguistics and
computation. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the
level of the course as compared to standard texts in the area (if
available).


ADVANCED COURSES

Advanced courses should be pitched at an audience of advanced Masters
or Ph.D.  students. Proposals for advanced courses should specify the
prerequisites in detail.


TIMETABLE FOR COURSE PROPOSAL SUBMISSION:
Jun 19, 2011: Proposal Submission Deadline
Sep 15, 2011: Notification Deadline
Jun 1, 2012: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready course material by
the ESSLLI
2012 local organizers


WORKSHOPS

The aim of the workshops is to provide a forum for advanced
Ph.D. students and other researchers to present and discuss their
work. Workshops should have a well-defined theme, and workshop
organizers should be specialists in the theme of the workshop. The
proposals for workshops should justify the choice of topic, give an
estimate of the number of attendants and expected submissions, and
provide a list of at least 15 potential submitters working in the
field of the workshop. The organizers are required to give a general
introduction to the theme during the first session of the
workshop. They are also responsible for various organizational
matters, including soliciting submissions, reviewing, drawing up the
program, taking care of expenses of invited speakers, etc. In
particular, each workshop organizer will be responsible for sending
out a Call for Papers for the workshop and to organize the selection
of the submissions by the deadlines specified below.  The call for
workshop submissions must make it clear that the workshop is open to
all members of the ESSLLI community and should indicate that all
workshop contributors must register for the Summer School.

TIMETABLE FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS:
Jun 19, 2011: Proposal Submission Deadline
Sep 15, 2011: Notification Deadline
Oct 15, 2011: Deadline for submission of the Calls for Papers to
              ESSLLI 2012 PC chair
Nov 1, 2011: Workshop organizers send out First Call for Papers
Dec 15, 2011: Workshop organizers send out Second Call for Papers
Jan 15, 2012: Workshop organizers send out Third Call for Papers
Feb 15, 2012: Deadline for submissions to the workshops
Apr 15, 2012: Suggested deadline for notification of workshop
              contributors
Jun 1, 2012: Deadline for submission of camera-ready copy of workshop
             proceedings to the ESSLLI 2012 Local Organizers.

Workshop speakers will be required to register for the Summer School;
however, they will be able to register at a reduced rate to be
determined by the Local Organizers.


FORMAT FOR PROPOSALS

Forms for submitting course and workshop proposals are available on
the ESSLLI 2012 website.

The proposers are required to submit the following information:

* Contact address and fax number
* Name, email, affiliation, homepage of each lecturer / workshop
  organizer (at most two per course or workshop)
* Title of proposed course/workshop
* Abstract (abstract of the proposal, max 150 words)
* Type (workshop, foundational, introductory, or advanced course)
* Areas (one or more of: Computation, Language, Logic, or Other)
* Description (describe the proposed contents of the course and
  substantiate timeliness and relevance to ESSLLI in at most one A4
  page)
* Tentative outline of the course / expected participation in the
  workshop
* External funding (whether the proposers will be able to obtain
  external funding for travel and accommodation expenses)
* Further particulars (e.g., course prerequisites, previous teaching
  experiences, etc.)


FINANCIAL ASPECTS

Prospective lecturers and workshop organizers should be aware that all
teaching and organizing at the summer schools is done on a voluntary
basis in order to keep the participants' fees as low as
possible. Lecturers and organizers are not paid for their
contribution, but are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses
(up to fixed maximum amounts, which will be communicated to the
lecturers upon notification). Lecturers and workshop organizers will
have their registration fee waived. In case a course or workshop is to
be taught/organized by two people, a lump sum will be reimbursed to
cover travel and accommodation expenses for one of them; the splitting
of the sum is up to the lecturers/organizers. It should be stressed
that while proposals from all over the world are welcome, the School
cannot guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs, especially if
lecturers or organizers have to come from outside of Europe.

The local organizers would highly appreciate it if, whenever possible,
lecturers and workshop organizers find alternative funding to cover
travel and accommodation expenses, as that would help us keep the cost
of attending ESSLLI 2012 lower.

ABOUT TIA 2011

It is widely held that we are living in an era in which global
communication technology has enabled us to transcend borders and that
we are witnessing the advent of a global community. Although this
oft-repeated claim is not without foundation, it is also an undeniable
reality that one of the greatest obstacles to global communication --
the language barrier -- remains almost intact and manifests itself in
every facet of global communication.

Parallel to this, certain trends - which perhaps emerged quite a while
ago - have intensified to such an extent that they have become issues
of serious concern. One is the fragmentation not only of scientific
subjects but also of non-scientific activities, and the accompanying
subdivision of communications, even within a single language. For
example, mathematicians working on different topics use different
terminology sets, and the intersection between the jargon used by
gamers and that used by musicians is minimal; even among gamers,
different jargons are used depending on the type and genre of the
game.  The other is the massively reduced life expectancy of terms in
cutting-edge spheres. It is not uncommon to find that a set of terms
one learned several years ago is no longer in use.

While multilingual terminology is a well-established research topic,
these changes in the environment in which the topic is situated have
given it a new dimension and increased the challenges involved in
researching it. It is against this backdrop that we chose multilingual
aspects of terminology as the central topic for TIA 2011, while at the
same time welcoming a broad range of related topics.

TIA 2011 will be the ninth event in the successful series which
started out as a predominantly francophone conference. The conference
has gradually attracted a wider audience and over the past six years
it has grown to be a truly international conference. Welcome to TIA
2011!


TOPICS

Papers can address theoretical questions or methodological aspects.
Interdisciplinary work which emphasizes the convergence and
co-operation of multiple disciplines dealing with terminological
issues is welcome.

Papers addressing specific issues linked to the topic of multilingual
terminology will be particularly welcome, but we are also soliciting
original contributions on any of the following topics with a
theoretical, methodological or practical orientation:

Terminology acquisition and management
 * term acquisition
 * terminology structuring: acquisition of relations
 * terms as named entities
 * terminology evolution
 * terminology evaluation
 * multimodal information management in terminology

Terminology and knowledge representation
 * ontology construction from terminological resources
 * status of linguistic semantics and ontology
 * knowledge evolution and terminological dynamics

Terminology for applications
 * terminology in industrial applications
 * terminology in education
 * terminology for human translation
 * terminology for machine translation
 * terminology for natural language processing


IMPORTANT DATES

     10 July 2011   Extended deadline for submission
 8 September 2011   Notification
26 September 2011   Final camera-ready paper due
7-9 November 2011   Conference


FORMAT OF SUBMISSIONS

TIA 2011 solicits both regular papers, which present significant work,
and short papers, which typically present work in progress or a
smaller, focused contribution.The program committee may decide to
change the category of a paper before acceptance.

Regular papers, in English or French, should not exceed 7 pages in
ACL-HLT 2011 format (see below for LaTeX and MS Word style files),
including figures, examples and references. The mode of presentation
of long papers (orally or as posters) will be decided based on the
nature rather than on the quality of the work.

Short papers should not exceed 4 pages in the same format as regular
papers. They will also be presented orally or as posters at the
conference depending on the nature of the work.

See detailed authors instructions at:
  http://tia2011.crim.fr/Submission.html

Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format at
  https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tia2011 .

EXHIBITIONS AND SPECIAL EVENTS

*Poster forum*
Although all accepted papers will be presented by the authors in the
traditional, standard way (oral presentation + discussion), the
organizers will offer to the authors an additional opportunity to
present (mini) posters containing the abstract and the key ideas of
the paper. Posters will be presented by the organizers during the LTC
in the conference area. No extra fee will be charged for this form of
presentation. The poster size will be A1, horizontal.

(Notice. The Poster forum should not be confused with traditional
poster sessions. In particular, there will be no limited resentation
time and the posters do not have to be accompanied by the authors)

*Hyde park corner*
We intend to arrange "A Hyde Park Corner" for non-reviewed
presentations and positions. Limited number of presentations
(depending on the available space) will be accepted. The content must
meet the conference scope and aims. Both form and content must conform
to the Polish and International Law. Texts will be presented on the
sole responsibility of the authors/presenters and will not be
published or reproduced in the Conference documents.

*A book exhibition* is intended (exhibitor may address their proposals
by e-mail at ltc at amu.edu.pl). Also, registered participants are
invited to bring hard copies of their papers and books. We plan to
make special presentations of the achievements of the conference
participants, irrespective of whether they are directly related to the
conference topic.

*Tutorials* A tutorial program is under construction.

*Special events.* Besides the standard conference presentation of
papers, the Organizers are open to various kinds of initiatives
(expos, demos, satellite workshops, panels, awards).  A program of
special events is now under construction. You are welcome to contact
us with your suggestions.

AWARDS FOR BEST STUDENT PAPERS
As at the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Language and Technology Conferences (2005,
2007, 2009) special awards will be granted to the best student papers.
The regular or PhD students (on the date of paper submission) are
concerned. Co-authored papers will be considered provided that the
students' contributions exceeds 60% and that the main author(s) is
(are) student(s)(this fact must be documented by a written declaration
signed by all co-authors).

In 2005 the Jury, composed of the Program Committee members present at
the conference, awarded this distinction to:
Ronny Melz (University of Leipzig, Germany),
Hartwig Holzapfel (University of Karlsruhe, Germany),
Marcin Woliñski (IPI PAN, Warsaw, Poland).

In 2007 this distinction went to Daria Fis(er (University of
Ljubljana)

In 2009 two awards were granted: to Mahmoud EL-Haj (University of
Essex, UK) and Alexander Pak (LIMSI-CNRS, Orsay, France).

VISAS
Participants from some non-EC countries may need visas to enter the
Polish territory. Visa delivery is exclusively in competence of the
Visa Authorities of the Schengen Convention countries. If you have any
doubts, we recommend you to check your situation with the nearest
Polish Consulate in your residence country. If you are author
(co-author) of an accepted paper, we can confirm - if necessary - that
we expect your presence at the conference for paper presentation. Upon
request, we may also write a confirmation letter (in Polish) directly
to the Polish Consulate indicated by you. To do this we will need a
request letter (e-mail) from you in which you will provide us with the
address of the Consulate you wish us to contact.

Bonjour,
 
Offre de postdoc à France Telecom Orange Labs dans le domaine de la
recherche d'information multilingue et cross-lingue (CLIR).
 
Lieu : France Telecom Orange Labs à Lannion (Bretagne).
Date : dès que possible.
Durée : 12 mois.
 
Sujet du postdoc :
Approches hybrides de traitement des requêtes pour la recherche
d'information cross-lingue
 
Contexte de recherche :
Certains choix techniques ou méthodologiques en recherche
d'information multilingue n'ont pas encore atteint un niveau de
consensus. Par exemple, il n'est pas trivial d'opter pour la
traduction des requêtes ou la traduction des contenus. Toutefois, il
nous semble d'ores et déjà acceptable que la traduction des contenus
est plus optimale lorsque la quantité d'informations à indexer ainsi
que le nombre de langues concernées ne sont pas très élevés. Dans le
cas contraire, la traduction préalable de tous les contenus indexés
dans toutes les langues peut poser de réels problèmes d'économie.  En
effet, une petite partie seulement des informations traduites pourrait
être réellement exploitée.

 
Activité du postdoc :
Cette activité s'inscrit dans le cadre d'un projet de R&D dans le
domaine de la recherche d'information multimédia et multilingue. Il
est proposé d'explorer, mettre en oeuvre et évaluer une ou des
méthodes hybrides pour le traitement des requêtes en vue d'une
recherche cross-lingue.
Contrairement à une traduction brute de la requête, qui peut échouer
compte tenu de sa pauvreté syntaxique et contextuelle, ce travail
consiste à explorer différentes approches dont la combinaison
permettrait d'effectuer des pré-traitements ou des post-traitements
moins systématiques et mieux réfléchis sur les requêtes :

- Identification dans le requête des composants invariants,
  traduisibles, translitérables, etc.

- Prise en compte de scores de confiance et post-édition de la
  traduction automatique.

- Exploitation de ressources linguistiques : Wikipédia, entités
  nommées, lexiques multilingues, thésaurus, etc.

- Utilisation de l'expansion de requêtes pour la compensation de la
  couverture lexicale issue de la traduction.

- Choix et usage de techniques appropriées de traduction pour les
  différents composants de la requête.

- Etc.

Profil recherché :
- Doctorat en informatique ou en linguistique, ayant été soutenu de
  préférence depuis moins d'un an.
- Bonnes connaissances en TALN et des différentes approches en
  traduction automatique.
- Connaissances en recherche d'information et en CLIR.
- Maîtrise de Linux, Python ou Java, langage de script (bash), C++
  serait un plus.
- Langues : français et anglais (la connaissance d'autres langues
  serait la bienvenue).
- Motivation pour la R&D dans un milieu industriel.

Résumé de la thèse :

Ce travail de thèse vise à proposer les analyses formelles de
phénomènes langagiers, tels que le système casuel, le double cas, la
flexibilité de l'ordre des mots, la coordination, la subordination et
la thématisation, dans deux langues structurellement très distinctes :
le coréen et le français. Le choix théorique s'est porté sur le
formalisme de la Grammaire Catégorielle Combinatoire Applicative en
mettant en oeuvre les combinateurs de la Logique Combinatoire de Curry
et le calcul fonctionnel des types de Church.

Le problème à résoudre est le suivant : en prenant une langue « à cas
» comme le coréen, avec les constructions « à double cas » et la
flexibilité dans l'ordre des mots, spécifiques à certaines langues
extrêmes orientales, cette langue est-elle analysable avec un
formalisme catégoriel et selon quelle stratégie de calcul ? Nous
donnons un certain nombre d'exemples qui répondent à cette
question. Les analyses formelles proposées dans ce travail permettent
ensuite d'examiner la pertinence syntaxique de l'hypothèse « anti-anti
relativiste » en dégageant certains invariants syntaxiques à partir
des opérations de prédication, de détermination, de transposition, de
quantification et de coordination.

Nous proposons également un analyseur catégoriel, ACCG, applicable au
coréen et au français, qui permet d'engendrer, de façon automatique,
les calculs catégoriels, ainsi que les structures opérateur/opérande.



Abstract:

This work aims at proposing the formal analysis of the linguistic
phenomena, such as the case system, the double case, the flexible word
order, the coordination, the subordination and the thematisation, in
the two structurally distinct languages: Korean and French. The
formalism of Applicative Combinatory Categorial Grammar allows us to
analyze these problems by means of the combinators of the Combinatory
Logic of Curry and the functional calculus of the Church's types. By
taking account of these formal analysis applied to Korean and to
French, we discuss on the « anti-anti relativist » hypothesis by
finding some syntactic invariants from the different operations such
as the predication, the determination, the quantification, the
transposition and the coordination. We propose also an categorial
parser, ACCG, applicable to Korean and French sentences, which
generates automatically categorial calculus and the operator-operand
structures.

*** Proposition de thèse avec financement ***


Sujet : Modélisation de dynamiques socio-cognitives dans les communautés
numériques


Le laboratoire LaTTiCe-CNRS, en collaboration avec l’Institut des
Systèmes Complexes de Paris-Ile de France (ISC-PIF), propose une thèse
financée sur l’analyse des dynamiques socio-cognitives dans les
communautés numériques, sous la co-direction de Thierry Poibeau et
Jean-Philippe Cointet.

- Date limite de soumission : 17 juillet 2011,
- Début souhaité du doctorat : octobre ou novembre 2011,
- Durée : trois ans,
- Salaire net : environ 1450 euros mensuel (pendant 36 mois),
  financement régional
- Contacts : Thierry Poibeau (prenom.nom at ens.fr) et Jean-Philippe
  Cointet (prenom.nom at polytechnique.org)


Avec Internet, les processus de production et de circulation de la
connaissance subissent une transition majeure. Ce paysage cognitif
virtuel, bien que bâti par l’activité distribuée des individus à
travers la planète, est doté d’une dynamique largement autonome, au
sens où elle donne lieu à l’émergence d’un certain nombre de
structures sémantiques endogènes pérennes.

OBJECTIFS

Cette thèse vise à mieux comprendre les dynamiques hybrides des
communautés en ligne. On s’attachera aussi bien à caractériser les
dynamiques culturelles à travers l’analyse textuelle des contenus
produits par les acteurs de ces systèmes [2] que les dynamiques
sociales à travers l’analyse de l’évolution des réseaux sociaux qui
sous-tendent ces communautés [4].

L’ambition est donc de réaliser une reconstruction réaliste des
dynamiques socio-sémantiques des communautés de savoirs observées dans
ces espaces mais aussi de proposer des modélisations réalistes des
processus qui les gouvernent.


Plusieurs objectifs peuvent être distingués :

1. reconstruire et modéliser les dynamiques mésoscopiques de ces
communautés. A l’échelle d’une communauté de blogueurs, comment les
thématiques principales et leur articulation évoluent-elles ? Comment
émergent de nouvelles thématiques, et quels acteurs influents sont à
même de les promouvoir à l’échelle de la communauté ? Comment ses
acteurs sont-ils renouvelés ou comment la structure sociale
sous-jacente est-elle modifiée dans le temps ? Quel est le profil
d’interaction des acteurs de cette communauté avec les communautés
voisines ?

2. comprendre la diffusion et la circulation d’entités dans ces
communautés.  L’objectif est de modéliser la dynamique de circulation
des contenus et le glissement cognitif des acteurs contraints par les
deux structures de haut niveau que constituent les réseaux social et
sémantique [1].

3. modéliser les dynamiques socio-cognitives de ces systèmes pour
tâcher de rendre compte, à l’aide de modèles inspirés de la biologie
(écologie, théorie de l’évolution) ou de l’épidémiologie culturelle,
des régularités caractéristiques observées dans les cycles de
renouvellement des thématiques [3, 5].

COMPÉTENCES DEMANDÉES

Les compétences demandées pour cette thèse pluridisciplinaire sont
diverses. Les éléments suivants seront évalués en priorité :
- compétences en informatique (programmation)
- expérience du traitement de grandes masses de données
- compétences en traitement des langues et/ou en linguistique
- connaissances des techniques d’apprentissage artificiel
- connaissance de l’anglais, qualité de la rédaction écrite


La thèse aura lieu au laboratoire LaTTiCe (à Montrouge) et à l’ISC-PIF
(Paris, 5e). La répartition du temps de travail entre les deux
laboratoires sera déterminée en fonction des besoins pour la thèse.

COMMENT CANDIDATER ?

Envoyer dès que possible (et en tout état de cause avant le 17
juillet) un mail à Thierry Poibeau et à Jean-Philippe Cointet en
joignant un CV détaillé et une lettre de motivation. Joindre un lien
vers le mémoire de Master ou tout autre mémoire rédigé récemment. Les
entretiens et la sélection auront lieu courant juillet.

Appel à communications
=========================

***** Les Classifications en Linguistique : Méthodologie, problèmes,
***** enjeux

Colloque organisé conjointement par les doctorants de l'équipe «
Linguistique, Langues, Parole » (LiLPa, UR 1339, Université de
Strasbourg) et les doctorants de l'Institut de Philologie Romane
(Université de Bochum, Allemagne).

L'activité de classification fait partie intégrante de la démarche
scientifique. En linguistique, au-delà des questions concernant la
typologie des langues, classer pose des problèmes et implique des
enjeux à tous les niveaux de l'analyse. L'objectif de ce colloque est
d'inviter à une réflexion autant sur la méthodologie adoptée en amont,
que sur la finalité des classements, en passant par le choix et la
pertinence des critères retenus.

Notre souhait est ainsi de réunir des jeunes chercheurs (doctorants et
jeunes docteurs) en Sciences du Langage, autour de questions
transversales : Pourquoi classer ? Comment classer ? Que classe-t-on ?
Dans quels buts ? Que faire de ce qui n'est pas "classable" ?

Une grande attention sera accordée aux communications qui
contribueront à développer une réflexion à propos des problématiques
suivantes :

- L'établissement des catégories : a priori (les catégories étant
  préétablies) ou a posteriori (les catégories découlant des faits
  observés);

- Les relations entre les catégories : possibilités, modalités et
  intérêts d'établir des continuums ;

- Les critères à prendre en compte pour décider de l'appartenance d'un
  élément à une catégorie ;

- L'articulation entre les critères retenus et les objectifs visés ;

- Réflexion métalinguistique : différence entre catégorisation,
  classification, typologie ;

- Toute autre proposition en accord avec le thème du colloque.

Ce colloque sera l'occasion de réunir des jeunes chercheurs, en leur
offrant la possibilité de présenter leurs travaux respectifs,
d'échanger, de croiser leurs regards et expériences. Il s'agit avant
tout d'une rencontre autour d'une problématique transversale - celle
des classifications dans les études du langage.

Organisé sans privilégier une école ou orientation théorique
particulière, chaque domaine peut y trouver sa place. Les candidats
seront attentifs à proposer une communication accessible aux
non-spécialistes de leur domaine, de manière à ce que l'échange
profite à tous. L'objectif étant en effet que la réflexion menée dans
un domaine spécifique constitue un apport fructueux pour l'ensemble de
la communauté.

***** Classifications in Linguistics: Methodology, Problems, Challenges
*****


This conference is organized by Ph.D. students of the team
Linguistique, Langues, Parole (LiLPa, UR 1339, University of
Strasbourg, France) and Ph.D.  students from the Institute of Romance
Philology (Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany).


The process of classification constitutes an essential part of
linguistic proceeding. In linguistics, beyond questions concerning
language typology, classifying raises many different problems and
includes challenges on every level of analysis.

The aim of this conference is to provide a basis for a reflexion on
upstream methodological issues as well as the implications of such
classifications, including the choices and the relevance of the
selected criteria.

Therefore, our wish is to assemble young researchers in linguistics
(Ph.D.  students and Post-Docs) to discuss transversal questions: Why
do we classify? How do we classify? What do we classify? For which
purpose do we classify? How do we deal with non-classifiable items?
Special attention will be attributed to talks that focus on one of the
following set of problems:

- The establishment of categories: a priori (pre-established
  categories) or a posteriori (categories that can be derived from
  observed facts);

- The relations between categories: possibilities, modalities and
  concerns to establish a continuum;

- Criteria that have to be considered to decide the affiliation of an
  item to a certain category;

- The link between the retained criteria and the aspired aims;

- Metalinguistic considerations: differences between categorization,
  classification, typology;

- All other propositions in accord with the topic of the conference.

This meeting will be an opportunity for young researchers to present
their recent work, cross perspectives and experiences. Primarily, we
aim to organize a conference about a transversal set of problems - the
classification in linguistics.

The organizers do not favor a particular school of thought or any
theoretical orientations.
Any related field or subfield of research can possibly be accepted. We
ask the applicants to hand in a talk that is accessible to
non-specialists of the research field to allow an open discussion and
exchange. The intention is to hold efficient reflections on specific
research fields and to constitute a productive contribution.


Place of the conference: Strasbourg, France

Languages: French and English

Contact : cjc.lilpa at gmail.com

Deadlines:

pdf).  One (or more) poster session(s) will be organized. The
applicants interested in the poster session have to submit an abstract
of one page.

Communication modalities:
------------------------
The selected abstracts will be presented as a 30 minutes talk (20 min
talk + 10 min discussion). The applicants for the poster session are
asked to give a talk of 10 minutes maximum before the poster session.

Public:
-------
Young researchers in language sciences are invited to submit an
abstract: Master 2 students, Ph.D. students and Post-Docs (having

======================== Appel à communication ========================

MARAMI 2011 :http://marami-2011.imag.fr/
Seconde conférence sur les Modèles et l′Analyse des Réseaux :
Approches Mathématiques et Informatique
Du 19 au 21 octobre 2011 à Grenoble

Conférence MARAMI
-----------------
Après l’Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse (IRIT) en
2010, c'est le Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique de Grenoble
(LIG) qui organise ces secondes rencontres MARAMI 2011.

Cette année la conférence dure trois journées qui seront structurées
autour de conférences invitées données par des chercheurs du domaine
ainsi que des présentations de chercheurs et d′industriels. Comme en
2010, les secondes Journées thématiques : Fouille de Grands Graphes
(JFGG'11) sont associées à MARAMI et plusieurs sessions communes
seront organisées.

Les réseaux constituent un modèle d′information et de connaissances de
plus en plus exploité ces dernières années pour modéliser mais aussi
pour simuler des comportements du vivant et celui de systèmes
informatiques et sociaux. Leur efficacité dans les divers domaines
d'application, tels que les réseaux en biologie, les réseaux sociaux
ou les réseaux informatiques, est cependant tributaire de modèles et
de méthodes formelles d′analyse de leur architecture, de leur
fonctionnement et de leur évolution.

L′objectif de la conférence MARAMI est de fournir un cadre d′échanges
et de diffusion des travaux scientifiques entre les communautés issues
des mathématiques et de l′informatique, qui présentent une forte
synergie, pour appréhender des problématiques communes ou
complémentaires. Dans ce sens, cette conférence constitue une occasion
privilégiée permettant d′échanger les expertises et les expériences
capitalisées dans chacune des communautés sur l′analyse, la
modélisation des réseaux et leur déploiement dans les nouvelles
technologies, notamment de l′informatique et de la communication.

Les thématiques privilégiées de ces journées sont organisées en trois
grands axes :

Analyse et visualisation de réseaux réels
- recherche de communautés, classification,
- recherche de motifs fréquents,
- visualisation et exploration de grands graphes, ...
Modélisation dans les réseaux
- simulations de phénomènes sur les réseaux,
- évolutions de réseaux,
- graphes aléatoires, ...
Applications
- réseaux sociaux,
- réseaux biologiques,
- réseaux pair à pair,
- systèmes de recommandation, filtrage collaboratif,
- systèmes d'aide à la décision (marketing viral, épidémies),
- systèmes multi-agents,
- ontologies / web sémantique, ...

Dates importantes
-----------------

Soumission des articles : vendredi 22 juillet 2011
Notification aux auteurs : vendredi 16 septembre 2011
Envoi de la version définitive : vendredi 30 septembre 2011

Format des soumissions
----------------------
Les chercheurs, jeunes chercheurs et industriels s′intéressant aux
approches formelles de modélisation et d'analyse des réseaux ainsi
qu'à leurs applications aux technologies informatiques, sont invités à
soumettre des papiers en langue française ou anglaise. Dans le but de
faciliter la diffusion de travaux de différents niveaux de maturité,
nous proposons deux formats de soumission : papier long (12 pages
maximum) et papier court (6 pages maximum). Le fichiers de styles sont
sur le site de la conférence.

Financement de thèse en EIAH pour les langues et TAL
Lieu: Grenoble, France
Début: Octobre 2011
Durée: 3 ans
 
Titre: Environnement d’analyse de contenus d’interaction et de
productions dans la formation en ligne.
 
Directeurs: Georges Antoniadis (LIDILEM, Grenoble) - Christine Michel,
Sébastien George (LIRIS, Lyon)
 
L’objectif de cette thèse est d’analyser les traces d’interaction
résultant de l’usage d’outils de communication dans un environnement
de type CSCL (computer-supported collaborative learning). Plus
spécifiquement elle doit permettre d’analyser l’apport et la
pertinence des méthodes du TAL (Traitement Automatique de la Langue)
pour mesurer qualitativement et quantitativement le degré de
construction des savoirs ; le lien et l’apport du message de
communication pour l’activité d’apprentissage ainsi que le degré de
collaboration entre les apprenants et son impact dans la construction
de savoirs. Les interfaces et indicateurs de visualisation utilisables
doivent être mis en œuvre dans deux contextes d’apprentissages
différents (didactique des langues et apprentissage par projet) pour
compléter l’outil TRAVIS (Tracking Data Analysis and Visualization
tool).  L’entreprise Xerox participe au travail avec la mise à
disposition des outils TAL en collaboration avec le laboratoire
LIDILEM.
 
Description du sujet:
 
Le sujet de recherche est interdisciplinaire et se situe à la jonction
de l'informatique et du traitement automatique des langues (TAL).  Des
travaux réalisés jusqu’ici ont permis d’évaluer comment les apprenants
pourraient «mieux» collaborer ou comment les enseignants pourraient
«mieux» intervenir en observant les traces des interactions
médiatisées (en particulier dans le cadre des forums utilisés dans des
formations en ligne).  Les interactions de communication entre
enseignants-tuteurs et apprenants à distance, entre pairs à distance
ont été étudiées de manière systématique grâce à un environnement
spécialisé.
 
L’objectif de cette thèse est d’approfondir et compléter cette étude : 

- en considérant les traces de production associées aux apprentissages
  (en particulier en observant les documents produits en groupe par
  les élèves pour l’apprentissage)

- en complétant les analyses réalisées actuellement par des analyses
  sémantiques de contenus. L’utilisation du TAL est en effet envisagé
  pour permettre de mesurer qualitativement et quantitativement : (1)
  le degré de construction de savoirs, (2) le lien et l’apport du
  message de communication pour l’activité d’apprentissage, (3) le
  degré de collaboration entre les apprenants et son impact dans la
  construction de savoirs.
 
Les résultats attendus portent sur: 

- La production d’indicateurs de mesures de la construction de
  connaissances prenant en compte la collaboration et l’interaction
  langagière. Les études expérimentales porteront sur des contextes
  d’apprentissage par projet (caractérisé par une multitude de
  modalités de collaboration) et de didactique des langues
  (caractérisé par une double mise en œuvre des processus langagiers,
  d’une part, pour apprendre la langue et, d’autre part, pour se
  coordonner et communiquer avec le groupe).

- La conception et réalisation d’un dispositif d’apprentissage ayant
  pour levier pédagogique l’interaction sociale. Les indicateurs
  seront utiles pour guider les élèves dans leurs activités et
  apprentissage et permettre aux tuteurs de mieux percevoir les
  modalités et résultats des apprentissages en groupe. Les analyses de
  traces et diagnostics seront réalisés en temps réel ou a posteriori
  (l’utilisateur ayant une interface d’analyse ergonomique pour
  paramétrer des modalités d’analyse spécifiques ou rejouer certaines
  activités).
 
Profil du candidat:
 
Le candidat doit être titulaire d'un Master en informatique-EIAH ou en
traitement automatique des langues. Des compétences dans les deux
domaines seraient un plus. Maîtrise de la langue française et
anglaise.
 
Contexte:
 
Cette thèse interdisciplinaire sera réalisée sur deux laboratoires :
LIDILEM (Linguistique et Didactique des Langues Etrangères et
Maternelles, EA 609, université Stendhal de Grenoble) et LIRIS
(Laboratoire d'InfoRmatique en Image et Systèmes d'information,
UMR5205 CNRS, Lyon)

Pr?sentation du s?minaire :

Dans la continuit? de nos s?ances de l'ann?e pass?e et de notre
journ?e d'?tudes du 23 novembre 2010, nous reviendrons sur le fait que
si la question des bouleversements que font subir nos modes de
production et de consommation ? l'environnement tient une place de
plus en plus importante dans l'opinion publique, la mont?e des
pr?occupations environnementales ne suffit pas ? faire accepter
l'ensemble des engagements n?cessaires ? une modification de ce
processus. S'il para?t difficile de mettre en oeuvre des politiques
efficaces tout en souhaitant poursuivre le d?veloppement actuel bas?
sur le mod?le de d?veloppement des pays les plus riches, il est
pourtant n?cessaire de repenser nos modes de coexistence dans des
soci?t?s largement domin?es par le consum?risme. Il convient en ce
sens de d?gager les ?l?ments d'une ?cologie sociale afin d'examiner
les dimensions ?thiques et politiques qui surgissent d?s lors que nous
formulons l'ambition de reconsid?rer notre relation ? l'environnement
sans que soit pour autant n?glig? le souci d'une bonne coexistence
dans des soci?t?s qui entendent demeurer attach?es ? des valeurs
d?mocratiques. Un tel examen semble d'autant plus n?cessaire ? l'heure
o? la r?ponse des pouvoirs publics au risque environnemental consiste
souvent, soit ? provoquer plus d'angoisse (ou de peur) que
d'?valuation r?fl?chie, soit ? prendre des mesures en termes de
normalisation, voire de contr?le des comportements individuels, en
laissant finalement tr?s peu de place ? la concertation collective.
Nous entendrons notamment analyser la mise en forme des informations
sur l'?tat de ces questions environnementales par le biais de
technologies communicationnelles de plus en plus sophistiqu?es. Nous
reviendrons sur l'analyse des m?diations technologiques qui sont
cens?es supporter ces exp?riences participatives, telles qu'elles ont
pu ?tre initialement th?oris?es par le fondateur de l'?cologie
sociale, l'essayiste am?ricain Murray Bookchin (1921 -- 2006). Nous
pourrons observer comment aujourd'hui la perception des risques
environnementaux par l'opinion publique peut diff?rer des calculs
scientifiques et appara?t alors comme un ?l?ment d?terminant dans la
compr?hension et l'appr?hension des d?bats environnementaux. Il nous
faudra alors imaginer le traitement de ces deux perceptions, tout en
maintenant quand il y a lieu les controverses internes aux ?valuations
scientifiques des risques.

DISCOURS special issue MAD 2010 - 2nd Call for papers

The interdisciplinary journal Discours (http://discours.revues.org/)
opens a call for papers for a special issue on Multidisciplinary
Perspectives on Signalling Text Organisation, the theme of the MAD'10
workshop held in March 2010 in Moissac, France
(http://w3.workshop-mad2010.univ-tlse2.fr/). Workshop participants are
warmly invited to submit, but this call is open to anyone interested.

MAD stands for Multidisciplinary Approaches to Discourse. Accordingly,
this special issue seeks to bring together studies from different
disciplines interested in discourse and discourse processing:
linguistics, computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, educational
and cognitive psychology, ergonomics and document design, semiotics,
information and communication sciences, typography, etc.

Important dates:

* 6 September 2011: submission of articles for evaluation ( .doc or
  .rtf), (articles will be subject to the usual blind-reviewing
  procedure).
* 30 October 2011: notification of acceptance.
* 15 December 2011: submission of final versions.
* February 2012: publication of special issue.

Signalling text organisation refers to the observation that within
texts, certain features or elements seem to have a special
instructional role with regard to text organisation. These text
organisation signalling devices have been described under a variety of
names: signals, structure indicators, advance organisers, discourse
markers, layout properties, surface structure features, organisational
cues, stylistic writing devices and so on. Their scope ranges from a
very local level to a more global one. Their nature is also very
diverse:

- linguistic: words (e.g. connectives), phrases (e.g. emphasis
  phrases), sentences (meta-discourse sentences) and beyond
  (overviews, summaries);

- graphic: typographical and spatial variation (e.g. paragraph breaks,
  boldface);

- hybrid (e.g. enumerations, headings, tables of contents, links and
  pop-up windows in electronic documents);

- more elusively: textual position, first mention, length or  
  repetition of particular text units, structural parallelism.

Different disciplines have taken an interest in these devices, either
as a core object of study or as an element to be taken into account.
As a consequence, research concerned with the signalling of text
organisation is far from constituting a unified field. The notion of
signal itself may be associated with different key concepts according
to discipline and models: document structure, discourse organisation,
layout structure, text architecture, etc. As far as function is
concerned, they may be seen as discourse construction devices, traces
of metalinguistic segments, as reading or processing instructions, as
traces of the writer's cognitive processes, or as cues revealing the
author's intentions, etc.

Since the 1970's, research into the signalling of text organisation
has produced considerable results. The environment for this research
is at present undergoing a twofold transformation: first, new methods
are appearing, linked to technological advances (corpus linguistics,
natural language processing, eye movement recording techniques for the
analysis of cognitive processes during reading, etc.); second, new
fields of application are opening (in connection with the expanding
use of digital documents in the professional and educational worlds).
In this new context, novel research questions open up, requiring the
integration of contributions from different disciplines or fields of
study.

We invite contributions on topics and questions such as the following
(the list may be extended):

- What are text signals and what role do they play?
  1. reader's viewpoint
  2. writer's viewpoint
  3. analyst's viewpoint

- What may be relevant theoretical models and methods of data
  collection and analysis to study the signalling of text organisation
  and its cognitive effects?

  1. naturalist approaches and corpus studies
  2. empirical approaches
  3. micro vs. macro approaches
  4. inter- and pluridisciplinary approaches

- Text signals and literacy

- Text signals in document design, natural language processing and
  language technologies

We welcome different types of contributions: literature reviews,
theoretical and methodological considerations, reports of empirical
data, corpus based-studies, etc.

Submission procedure:

Articles may be written in French or English; the expected length is
between 40,000 and 60,000 signs (punctuation and spaces included). For
more details, see http://discours.revues.org/index253.html (style
sheet) and http://discours.revues.org/index358.html (instructions for
authors).

Articles should be accompanied by an abstract of around 1500
characters, together with 5 to 8 key words, in English (and, if
possible, also in French).

Submissions should be sent to mad2010 at univ-tlse2.fr and specify 'MAD
publication' in the title of the message.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you require further information.

APPEL ? CANDIDATURE POUR UN CONTRAT DOCTORAL 2011-2014

L'Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (INALCO)
lance un appel ? candidature pour un contrat doctoral en humanit?s
num?riques.

http://www.inalco.fr/ina_gabarit_rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=2356

TITRE  : M?thodes et outils de la fouille de textes multilingues pour
les humanit?s num?riques.
DOMAINE : S?mantique, linguistique de corpus, TAL, e-humanities
LIEU : INALCO-Recherche, Paris.
EQUIPE D'ACCUEIL : Equipe de recherche en Textes, Informatique,
Multilinguisme (ERTIM) en collaboration avec une autre unit? de
recherche de l?INALCO.
DATE LIMITE DU DEP?T : mardi 14 juin 2011

Description : Les humanit?s num?riques constituent une des mutations
majeures des sciences humaines et sociales actuellement. La
banalisation du support num?rique et les grands chantiers de
d?mat?rialisation des textes anciens offrent de nouvelles opportunit?s
non seulement en termes d'acc?s aux donn?es, mais aussi ? et surtout ?
en termes d'analyses renouvel?es desdites donn?es.
 
Les premiers pas des humanit?s num?riques relevaient d'ambitions ? la
fois patrimoniales, ?ditoriales et documentaires. Beaucoup
d'initiatives consistaient en collectes de documents, num?risations et
collations pour ensuite les rendre interrogeables au moyen de
concordanciers. Les projets ont ensuite port? sur la normalisation des
bases textuelles avec l'?tablissement de formats d'?change et de
normes d'encodage, lesquels ont facilit? des travaux d'annotations
philologiques et d'?tiquetage (morphosyntaxique, lexical) permettant
de complexifier les outils d'interrogation.
 
L'utilisation, l'adaptation et la cr?ation d'outils et de
m?thodologies de linguistique de corpus adapt?es ? l?herm?neutique des
textes constituent l'enjeu actuel des humanit?s num?riques. Il s'agit
d?sormais de d?velopper de nouvelles m?thodes d'aide ?
l'interpr?tation des textes, s'inspirant ? la fois de la philologie et
de l'herm?neutique traditionnelle et des m?thodes TAL en fouille de
textes.
 
L'INALCO lance un appel ? candidature pour un projet de recherche
doctorale consacr? ? la r?alisation de m?thodologies et d'outils de
fouille de corpus comparables multilingues et multi-?critures. Il
s'agira de participer ? l'?mergence d'une probl?matique transversale
au sein de l'Institut alliant des recherches en ing?nierie
linguistique et en litt?ratures et sciences humaines, dans un contexte
multilingue.
 
La recherche sera pilot?e par l'?quipe de Recherche Textes,
Informatique, Multilinguisme (ERTIM)l et co-encadr?e avec une autre
unit? de recherche de l?INALCO. L'ERTIM effectue notamment des
recherches en s?mantique et en lexicologie textuelles multilingues, en
traitement automatique de corpus align?s et comparables dans le cadre
d'application en fouille de textes, extraction et structuration de
connaissances linguistiques et analyse de textes assist?e par
ordinateur.

Le candidat pourra ?tre accueilli par le Centre de Recherche
Moyen-Orient et M?diterran?e (CERMOM) dans le cadre du projet Aliento
et l'?quipe de Recherche Textes, Informatique, Multilinguisme
(ERTIM). Le projet Aliento (http://www.aliento.eu/) construit une base
de donn?es constitu?e de corpus sapientiels m?di?vaux compos?s,
traduits et diffus?s dans la p?ninsule ib?rique entre le IXe et le XVe
si?cles, de leurs sources et des textes qui en sont issus. Ces corpus
sapientiels num?ris?s et balis?s permettent d?appr?cier, ? partir
d?une mati?re exemplaire sp?cifique, le fonds commun partag? des
litt?ratures et des cultures chr?tiennes, juives et musulmanes ? un
moment et en un lieu donn?s. ? partir de ce mat?riau, la th?se aura
pour objectif g?n?ral l??laboration de m?thode d'analyse des ?nonc?s
sapientiaux de mani?re ? en restituer les r?gularit?s et proposer un
mod?le conceptuel permettant leur identification dans des corpus.

D?autres programmes de recherche correspondant au domaine mentionn?
sont ?ligibles dans les unit?s de recherche de l?INALCO. C?est le cas
notamment du programme ? Corpus num?rique et archives ? des ?quipes
LACNAD-Arabe maghr?bin et LACNAD-Berb?re (cf. axe quadriennal 2010-
2013, en collaboration avec le CRB, le CREAM et le LCJMMO), qui
s?inscrit dans les axes de la F?d?ration TUL : (i) ? Conservation et
mutualisation des ressources linguistiques orales ? ; (ii) ? Corpus
oraux et typologie de l?articulation syntaxe/prosodie ?.

Candidat attendu : Le candidat devra pr?senter un niveau Master 2, de
pr?f?rence en science du langage et en Traitement Automatique des
Langues. Il devrait ?tre autonome d?un point de vue informatique en
traitement de donn?es textuelles (PERL, XML, base de donn?es, gestion
du multilinguisme, repr?sentation num?rique des caract?res). Pour le
projet Aliento, la ma?trise du fran?ais, de l?espagnol et d?au moins
une langue s?mitique (arabe et/ou h?breu) est requise. Pour les autres
projets, la ma?trise du fran?ais et d?au moins une langue orientale
est requise. La langue de travail est le fran?ais.

Modalit? de candidature : 

Le candidat est pri? de prendre rapidement contact avec l??quipe ERTIM
(mvalette at inalco.fr) pour la pr?paration du dossier et de l?audition
en concertation avec l?unit? de recherche associ?e.

Se reporter ?galement aux modalit?s de candidature au contrat doctoral
http://www.inalco.fr/ina_gabarit_rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=2356 en
pr?cisant que le titre de la recherche : M?THODES ET OUTILS DE LA
FOUILLE DE TEXTES MULTILINGUES POUR LES HUMANIT?S NUM?RIQUES.

A considerable amount of research has been done on the processing of
South East Asian languages offering a variety of Computational
Linguistics (CL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) resources,
tools and applications. All these valuable language resources are most
of the time ignored by the public and often not known by the
researchers and students working on these languages.

This 5th MALINDO Workshop aims to bring together researchers and
practitioners, representing different perspectives, to share and to
exchange their ideas on the processing of South East Asian languages
such as Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand,
Vietnam etc. The workshop is co-located with the Philippine NNLPRS
(National Natural Language Processing Research Symposium) 2011.

Thus, the organisers of the workshop want to highlight the effort and
promising works done on the processing of South East Asian Languages
languages in order to attract more students to the CL and NLP fields
and also to let all the NLP communities in this world be aware of
their existence.

* TOPICS OF INTEREST

The topics of the papers are requested to be in all areas related to
the language processing - computational and theoretical point of view
- of South East Asian languages (Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar,
Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, etc.)

     representation: dictionaries, thesauri, terminology, lexicons,
     written and spoken corpora, grammars, ontology;

   - Tools and techniques: spelling/grammatical/style checkers,
     morphological analyser, stemmer, lemmatiser, part of speech
     tagger, chunker, syntactic parser, word sense disambiguator,
     discourse processing, text and speech alignment, text and speech
     segmentation, term extraction and recognition, named entity
     extraction;

   - Applications: machine translation and translation aids,
     information retrieval, information extraction, text
     summarisation, term extraction, natural language generation,
     question translation aids, question answering, document

*Meeting Description*
For the past 23 years, the European Summer School in Logic, Language
and Information (ESSLLI) has been organized every year by the
Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI) in different
sites around Europe. The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface
between linguistics, logic and computation.

ESSLLI offers foundational, introductory and advanced courses, as well
as workshops, covering a wide variety of topics within the three areas
of interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic
and Computation. Previous summer schools have been highly successful,
attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school
has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion
for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study
of Logic, Language and Information. During two weeks, around 50
courses and 10 workshops are offered to the attendants, each of 1.5
hours per day during a five days week, with up to seven parallel
sessions. ESSLLI also includes a student session (papers and posters
by students only, 1.5 hour per day during the two weeks) and four
evening lectures by senior scientists in the covered areas.

In 2011, ESSLLI will held in Ljubljana, Slovenia and will be organized
by the Slovenian Language Technologies Society (SDJT), the Jo?ef
Stefan Institute (IJS) and The Faculty of Mathematics and Physics
(FMF) in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Chair of the Program Committee is Makoto
Kanazawa (National Institute of Informatics, Japan), and Chair of the
Organizing Committee is Darja Fi?er (The University of Ljubljana,
Slovenia). To contact the ESSLLI 2011 Organizing Committee, write to:

The Thirteenth Conference of the European Chapter of the Association
for Computational Linguistics http://www.eacl2012.org
Avignon, France
April 23-27, 2012
Call for demos

EACL 2012 features a special session for demonstrations. Topics of
interest cover all aspects of computational linguistics, as outlined
in the main conference call for papers. Demos will be presented at
specific sessions from the main program of the conference.

The demo track allows researchers and practitioners to demonstrate
their new and innovative systems while interacting with their audience
in an informal setting.  Demos' submissions should be concerned with
mature systems or prototypes in which computational linguistics or NLP
technologies are used to solve practically important problems. Demo
papers should make clear which aspects of the system will be
demonstrated, and how the system is used to solve practical
problems. It should include a discussion of the implementation and
case studies of how the system is applied.

Requirements

At least one author of each accepted demo paper must register for and
attend the conference, and demonstrate the system during the demo
sessions (please see the Conference Policies).  Authors of accepted
demos may also be required to demonstrate their systems at additional
events during the conference.  Each accepted demo paper will be
allocated four pages in the conference proceedings; no extra pages can
be purchased.  Demo authors are not required to transfer copyright
Submission Procedure

Authors of demos should submit an original paper describing their
proposed presentation. The length of the paper is limited to 4 pages
excluding references which are unlimited. The submission should be in
line with the EACL 2012 main conference formatting styles and
instructions for authors.


Proposals for demos should provide:

1.  an overview of what the demonstration aims to achieve

2.  how the demo illustrates novel ideas

3.  any URLs that link to screen-shots, live demos, or related
    information

4.  equipment or facilities required for the system demonstration
    Reviewing

Demos will be blind peer-reviewed by two members of the Demos Program
Committee, who will judge the originality, significance, quality, and
clarity of each submission.

Th?me de la journ?e
-------------------------

Le traitement des entit?s nomm?es a ?t? un champ de recherche tr?s
actif ces derni?res ann?es. Si de nombreuses avanc?es ont ?t?
r?alis?es, on constate cependant que les technologies ont
essentiellement ?volu? ? la demande, ? travers campagnes d'?valuation
et besoins applicatifs. Aujourd'hui, diverses questions se posent,
autant sur l'?tat des connaissances sur le sujet que du point de vue
des perspectives de recherche.

D'un point de vue linguistique, ces unit?s linguistiques ne semblent
pas encore compl?tement formalis?es. Si de r?cents travaux en ont
propos? plusieurs d?finitions, il reste difficile d'obtenir un
consensus sur le sujet. D'o? l'opportunit? d'un ?change, d'une part
sur la nature des entit?s nomm?es, d'autre part (et r?troactivement)
sur les normes, les typologies, les m?thodes ? utiliser dans un
processus d'annotation (manuelle ou automatique). Ce sujets sont
d'autant plus importants qu'? l'?chelle fran?aise et europ?enne, des
projets en cours de r?alisation (ETAPE, QUAERO, ...) sont fortement
d?pendants de ces questions et tentent d'y apporter des r?ponses.

Par ailleurs, si la reconnaissance d'entit?s nomm?es a atteint une
certaine maturit? pour traiter, notamment, des textes journalistiques
g?n?ralistes, de nombreuses questions restent ouvertes : intervention
en sortie de reconnaissance automatique de la parole ou sur des textes
r?cup?r?s en temps r?el dans des flux d'actualit?s (dont entit?s
hors-vocabulaire), suivi d'entit?s nomm?es (cha?nes cor?f?rentielles),
d?sambiguisation hors-contexte / en contexte...

We still have places remaining for Autumn 2011 on our Masters in
Language Technology in Gothenburg.  Students who wish to apply can
contact us directly at info at cling.gu.se.  General information can be
found at http://www.flov.gu.se/mlt.

Robin Cooper



The Masters in Language Technology (MLT) at the University of
Gothenburg is an international masters programme which can lead to
either a one-year or a two-year degree.  Deadline for applications in
the current round for Swedish and EU students is 15th April, 2011.
For further information see
http://www.flov.gu.se/english/education/masters-second-cycle/mlt/.

Students are taught by researchers who are engaged in developing the
latest technologies within the University of Gothenburg's priority
research area in language technology at our Centre for Language
Technology (CLT, http://www.clt.gu.se/), a collaboration between four
departments at the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of
Technology (Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of
Science, Department of Swedish, Department of Computer Science and
Engineering and Department of Applied Information Technology).  We
encourage students to work on their masters projects in one of CLT's
three labs: dialogue technology lab, grammar technology lab, and text
technology lab.

Language technology research and teaching in Gothenburg is
characterized by a focus on the contribution of theoretical and
rule-based approaches appropriately combined with statistical
techniques.  Students therefore receive instruction in linguistic
theory as applied to language technology as well as current approaches
to language technology.  The programme draws students from a wide
variety of backgrounds including linguistics, computer science,
cognitive science and philosophy.  The programme is heavily oriented
towards practical programming techniques (currently using the
programming language Python) but we do not require that students
entering the programme necessarily have a background in programming.
They should, however, be prepared to learn programming techniques in
an intensive introduction provided at the beginning of the programme.

24th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
ESSLLI 2012
August 6-17, 2012
Opole, Poland
http://www.esslli2012.pl
Call for Course and Workshop Proposals
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI)
is organized every year by the Association for Logic, Language and
Information (FoLLI, http://www.folli.org/) in different sites around
Europe. The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between
linguistics, logic and computer science.  ESSLLI offers foundational,
introductory and advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a
wide variety of topics within or around the three main areas of
interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and
Computation. Previous summer schools have been highly successful,
attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school
has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion
for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study
of Logic, Language and Information. For more information, visit the
FoLLI website, as well as the ESSLLI 2011 website:
http://esslli2011.ijs.si/.


CALL FOR COURSE AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The ESSLLI 2012 Program Committee invites proposals for foundational,
introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 24th
annual Summer School on important topics of active research in the
broad interdisciplinary area connecting logic, linguistics, computer
science and the cognitive sciences.

All proposals should be submitted via the EasyChair system, using a
prescribed form that is available on the ESSLLI 2012 website, no later
than:

June 19, 2011 (extended)

Authors of proposals will be notified of the committee's decision by
September 15, 2011.


GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION

Proposers of courses and workshops should follow the guidelines below
while preparing their submissions; proposals that do not conform with
these guidelines may not be considered.

Courses are taught by 1 or max. 2 lecturers, and workshops are
organized by 1 or max. 2 organizers. Lecturers and organizers must
have obtained a Ph.D. or an equivalent degree at the time of the
submission deadline. Courses and workshops run over one week
(Monday-Friday) and consist of five 90-minute sessions.  Lecturers who
want to offer a long, two-week course should submit two independent
one-week courses (for example, an introductory course in the first
week and an advance course in the second). The ESSLLI program
committee has the right to select only one of the two proposed
courses.


FOUNDATIONAL COURSES

These are strictly elementary courses not assuming any background
knowledge.  They are intended for people who wish to get acquainted
with the problems and techniques of areas new to them. Ideally, they
should allow researchers from other fields to acquire the key
competencies of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the
development of a truly interdisciplinary research community.
Foundational courses should have no special prerequisites, but may
presuppose some experience with scientific methods and general
appreciation of the field of the course.


INTRODUCTORY COURSES

Introductory courses are central to the activities of the Summer
School.  They are intended to provide an introduction to the
(interdisciplinary) field for students, young researchers, and other
non-specialists, and to equip them with a good understanding of the
field's basic methods and techniques. Such courses should enable
experienced researchers from other fields to acquire the key
competencies of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the
development of a truly interdisciplinary research
community. Introductory courses in a topic at the interface of two
fields can build on some knowledge of the component fields; e.g., an
introductory course in computational linguistics should address an
audience which is familiar with the basics of linguistics and
computation. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the
level of the course as compared to standard texts in the area (if
available).


ADVANCED COURSES

Advanced courses should be pitched at an audience of advanced Masters
or Ph.D.  students. Proposals for advanced courses should specify the
prerequisites in detail.


TIMETABLE FOR COURSE PROPOSAL SUBMISSION:
Jun 15, 2011: Proposal Submission Deadline
Sep 15, 2011: Notification Deadline
Jun 1, 2012: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready course material by
the ESSLLI
2012 local organizers


WORKSHOPS

The aim of the workshops is to provide a forum for advanced
Ph.D. students and other researchers to present and discuss their
work. Workshops should have a well-defined theme, and workshop
organizers should be specialists in the theme of the workshop. The
proposals for workshops should justify the choice of topic, give an
estimate of the number of attendants and expected submissions, and
provide a list of at least 15 potential submitters working in the
field of the workshop. The organizers are required to give a general
introduction to the theme during the first session of the
workshop. They are also responsible for various organizational
matters, including soliciting submissions, reviewing, drawing up the
program, taking care of expenses of invited speakers, etc. In
particular, each workshop organizer will be responsible for sending
out a Call for Papers for the workshop and to organize the selection
of the submissions by the deadlines specified below.  The call for
workshop submissions must make it clear that the workshop is open to
all members of the ESSLLI community and should indicate that all
workshop contributors must register for the Summer School.

TIMETABLE FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS:
Jun 14, 2011: Proposal Submission Deadline
Sep 15, 2011: Notification Deadline
Oct 15, 2011: Deadline for submission of the Calls for Papers to
ESSLLI 2012 PC chair
Nov 1, 2011: Workshop organizers send out First Call for Papers
Dec 15, 2011: Workshop organizers send out Second Call for Papers
Jan 15, 2012: Workshop organizers send out Third Call for Papers
Feb 15, 2012: Deadline for submissions to the workshops
Apr 15, 2012: Suggested deadline for notification of workshop
contributors
Jun 1, 2012: Deadline for submission of camera-ready copy of workshop
proceedings to the ESSLLI 2012 Local Organizers.

Workshop speakers will be required to register for the Summer School;
however, they will be able to register at a reduced rate to be
determined by the Local Organizers.


FORMAT FOR PROPOSALS

Forms for submitting course and workshop proposals are available on
the ESSLLI 2012 website.

The proposers are required to submit the following information:

* Contact address and fax number
* Name, email, affiliation, homepage of each lecturer / workshop
  organizer (at most two per course or workshop)
* Title of proposed course/workshop
* Abstract (abstract of the proposal, max 150 words)
* Type (workshop, foundational, introductory, or advanced course)
* Areas (one or more of: Computation, Language, Logic, or Other)
* Description (describe the proposed contents of the course and
  substantiate timeliness and relevance to ESSLLI in at most one A4
  page)
* Tentative outline of the course / expected participation in the
  workshop
* External funding (whether the proposers will be able to obtain
  external funding for travel and accommodation expenses)
* Further particulars (e.g., course prerequisites, previous teaching
  experiences, etc.)


FINANCIAL ASPECTS

Prospective lecturers and workshop organizers should be aware that all
teaching and organizing at the summer schools is done on a voluntary
basis in order to keep the participants' fees as low as
possible. Lecturers and organizers are not paid for their
contribution, but are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses
(up to fixed maximum amounts, which will be communicated to the
lecturers upon notification). Lecturers and workshop organizers will
have their registration fee waived. In case a course or workshop is to
be taught/organized by two people, a lump sum will be reimbursed to
cover travel and accommodation expenses for one of them; the splitting
of the sum is up to the lecturers/organizers. It should be stressed
that while proposals from all over the world are welcome, the School
cannot guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs, especially if
lecturers or organizers have to come from outside of Europe.

The local organizers would highly appreciate it if, whenever possible,
lecturers and workshop organizers find alternative funding to cover
travel and accommodation expenses, as that would help us keep the cost
of attending ESSLLI 2012 lower.

Description du projet :

L?objectif fondamental du projet est d?am?liorer les m?thodes et les
outils d?aide ? la pr?vention des risques industriels ? partir d?une
meilleure gestion du retour d?exp?rience et des exigences
s?curit?. L?objet de base consid?r? est la proc?dure qui code aussi
bien la mise en production que la maintenance ou la gestion mat?rielle
et sociale de l?entreprise.

L?objectif est donc une am?lioration progressive de ces proc?dures via
la r?daction collaborative. Ce projet aborde l?analyse de la
n?gociation entre les diff?rents partenaires d?une entreprise et la
recherche de compromis pour une prise en compte am?lior?e du retour
d?exp?rience sur des th?matiques de s?curit?. Le projet se
concr?tisera ? travers des situations de r?daction collaborative de
documents proc?duraux (production, maintenance, gestion, etc.)
impliquant divers facteurs de risque (sant?, ?cologiques, sociaux,
psychologiques, ?conomiques).

 
L?objectif est de r?aliser des ?l?ments d?un syst?me d?aide ? la
r?daction et la r?vision de documents proc?duraux ? partir de
documents de retour d?exp?rience produit par les techniciens en
op?ration. La difficult? est de maitriser l?int?gration dans le
document initial des recommandations de retour d?exp?rience en ?vitant
des situations de chaos textuel. Le retour d?exp?rience sera, pour
l?heure, des notes ?crites, toutefois nous n?excluons pas des images,
croquis ou vid?os.


Ces travaux seront bas?s sur la notion d?exigence argument?e, associ?e
? des formes d?explications, qui sera notre mod?le transversal, mod?le
pour la s?curit? aussi bien que des attentes protagonistes et des
syst?mes et organisations. Les exigences codent la structure, les
contraintes et les attentes du mod?le de pr?vention du risque. Le
projet sera adoss? ? notre projet ANR LELIE (analyse et pr?vention des
risques tels que pr?sents dans les proc?dures) qu?il compl?tera. Une
impl?mentation de type maquette est pr?vue et permettra d??valuer les
r?sultats et les modes d?implantation de nos outils dans le monde
industriel ou associatif.

Notre d?marche est largement exp?rimentale, mais avec une composante
formelle importante, n?cessaire ? ce type de travail (en intelligence
artificielle, en ing?nierie du risque et en traitement automatique des
langues). Elle sera bas?e sur la d?finition et le traitement d?une
s?rie de cas-tests progressivement plus complexes. Ceci permet une
meilleure maitrise des ?risques? li?s ? cette recherche qui ouvre
plusieurs voies peu explor?es, dans un cadre m?tier marqu?.

institutionnels et une soci?t? pour la valorisation.

Encadrant et contact : Patrick Saint-Dizier, directeur de recherches
au CNRS, stdizier at irit.fr

Candidatures ? envoyer avant le 25 Juin (CV, notes, recommandations
?ventuelles, syllabus des formations suivies les 2 derni?res ann?es)
au contact ci-dessus. Un entretien est pr?vu.

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

Le projet LELIE est d?di? ? l'analyse et ? la pr?vention des risques
en milieu industriel tels qu'ils sont d?tectables ? partir des
documents techniques ?labor?s par ces industries, en particulier les
documents proc?duraux qui sont de loin les plus importants. Les
risques couvrent aussi bien les accidents du travail, que les risques
?cologiques, sociaux, psychologiques et ?conomiques.

Le projet se concentre sur l'analyse des textes proc?duraux (li?s ? la
production, la maintenance, l'installation, la gestion du personnel,
etc.) via des formalismes et des technologies d'analyse de la langue
naturelle et de l'intelligence artificielle. Il est compl?t? par une
analyse fine des processus en ergonomie cognitive.

Le sc?nario global: Etant donn?s un certain nombre de textes
proc?duraux d'un domaine industriel donn?, le but est d'en analyser
automatiquement le contenu et de produire un certain nombre de
recommandations r?alis?es par le biais d'annotations dans ces textes,
permettant aux auteurs de proc?dures de faire les corrections qu'ils
jugent appropri?es. Outre des connaissances linguistiques g?n?rales,
le projet s'appuie sur les connaissances m?tier disponibles du domaine
(ontologies, r?gles m?tier, exigences, etc.) et sur la r?glementation
s?curit?.  LELIE est d?velopp? sur le fran?ais et l'anglais et
s?appuie sur l?analyseur de discours <TextCoop>.

Le travail consistera essentiellement en d?veloppement de techniques
d?analyse du discours, du d?veloppement d?une architecture
linguistique, de cahiers de tests et de l??tude du d?ploiement d?une
application en milieu industriel, en collaboration avec la soci?t? de
valorisation.

Le projet LELIE est pr?sent? sous :
http://www.irit.fr/recherches/ILPL/lelie/accueil.html
Les travaux concerneraient en particulier les t?ches T3 et T6.

Ce volume recueille une s?lection de dix-sept textes d??tienne Brunet
abordant les questions statistiques et informatiques pertinentes pour
le traitement linguistique de corpus.

Organis?es chronologiquement, ces ?tudes parcourent quarante ann?es
d?une recherche qui explore sans rel?che les rapports entre
statistique et linguistique. Elles vont de l??valuation des mesures ?
l?annotation et ? la lemmatisation des corpus textuels. Ainsi voit-on,
au fil des d?bats qui ont marqu? ces disciplines, se structurer les
champs de la lexicom?trie et de la linguistique de corpus.

Expos?es et illustr?es avec clart?, les m?thodes pr?sent?es pourront
?tre exploit?es avec le logiciel HYPERBASE, install? sur le DVD de
corpus litt?raires annex? ? ce volume.

Pr?fac? par Ludovic Lebart, cet ouvrage est ainsi un indispensable
guide m?thodologique et permet de r?pondre aux questions que posent
aujourd?hui l?analyse de donn?es textuelles et la linguistique de
corpus.

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

First Call for Papers

2nd Workshop on the Multilingual Semantic Web,

collocated with the 10th International Semantic Web Conference
(ISWC2011) in Bonn, Germany.

http://msw2.deri.ie

Given the substantial growth of Web users that create and update
knowledge all over the world in languages other than English,
multilingualism has become an issue of major interest for the Semantic
Web community. This process has been accelerated due to initiatives
such as the Linked Data project, which encourages not only governments
and public institutes to make their data available to the public, but
also private organizations in domains such as medicine, geography,
music etc. These actors often publish their data sources in their
respective languages, and as such, in order to make this information
interoperable and accessible to members of other linguistic
communities, multilingual knowledge representation, access and
translation are an impending need.

Given the success of the first edition of this workshop, which was
co-located with the 19th International World Wide Web Conference
(WWW2010), we were encouraged to organize the second version of this
series. In this second edition we will have a special focus on:

 - representation of multilingual information and language resources
   in Semantic Web and Linked Data formats

 - cross-lingual discovery and representation of mappings between
   multilingual Linked Data vocabularies and datasets

 - cross-lingual querying of knowledge repositories and Linked Data

 - machine translation and localization strategies for the Semantic
   Web


Further topics of interest include:

 - standards and best practices for representing multilingual data on
   the Web

 - transformation of (multilingual) resources to Semantic Web and
   Linked Data representations

 - architectures and infrastructure for a truly multilingual Semantic
   Web

 - models for multilingualism in knowledge representation, in
   particular OWL and RDF(S)

 - localization of ontologies to multiple languages, incl. label
   translation, multilingual terms

 - lexicon models for ontologies

 - automatic integration of (multilingual) lexicons with ontologies

 - multilingual and cross-lingual ontology-based information
   extraction and ontology population

 - multilingual aspects of semantic search of knowledge repositories

 - multilingual aspects of ontology verbalization

 - ontology learning across languages

Important Dates
August 15th - submission deadline
September 5th - notification
September 10th - camera-ready deadline
October 23th or 24th - workshop

Submission will be through the Easy Chair system:
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=msw2.

We will accept long papers of at most 12 pages (LNCS), short papers
describing preliminary results (max. 6 pages) as well as position
papers describing work on progress or planned work (max. 6 pages).

9th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TERMINOLOGY AND ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE
9?me conf?rence internationale Terminologie et Intelligence

   Multilingual terminology at the crossroads

   Paris, 7-9 November 2011

   DEADLINE FOR PAPERS: 17 June 2011

   Submission: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tia2011
================================================================


ABOUT TIA 2011

It is widely held that we are living in an era in which global
communication technology has enabled us to transcend borders and that
we are witnessing the advent of a global community. Although this
oft-repeated claim is not without foundation, it is also an undeniable
reality that one of the greatest obstacles to global communication --
the language barrier -- remains almost intact and manifests itself in
every facet of global communication.

Parallel to this, certain trends - which perhaps emerged quite a while
ago - have intensified to such an extent that they have become issues
of serious concern. One is the fragmentation not only of scientific
subjects but also of non-scientific activities, and the accompanying
subdivision of communications, even within a single language. For
example, mathematicians working on different topics use different
terminology sets, and the intersection between the jargon used by
gamers and that used by musicians is minimal; even among gamers,
different jargons are used depending on the type and genre of the
game.  The other is the massively reduced life expectancy of terms in
cutting-edge spheres. It is not uncommon to find that a set of terms
one learned several years ago is no longer in use.

While multilingual terminology is a well-established research topic,
these changes in the environment in which the topic is situated have
given it a new dimension and increased the challenges involved in
researching it. It is against this backdrop that we chose multilingual
aspects of terminology as the central topic for TIA 2011, while at the
same time welcoming a broad range of related topics.

TIA 2011 will be the ninth event in the successful series which
started out as a predominantly francophone conference. The conference
has gradually attracted a wider audience and over the past six years
it has grown to be a truly international conference. Welcome to TIA
2011!


TOPICS

Papers can address theoretical questions or methodological aspects.
Interdisciplinary work which emphasizes the convergence and
co-operation of multiple disciplines dealing with terminological
issues is welcome.

Papers addressing specific issues linked to the topic of multilingual
terminology will be particularly welcome, but we are also soliciting
original contributions on any of the following topics with a
theoretical, methodological or practical orientation:

Terminology acquisition and management
  * term acquisition
  * terminology structuring: acquisition of relations
  * terms as named entities
  * terminology evolution
  * terminology evaluation
  * multimodal information management in terminology

Terminology and knowledge representation
  * ontology construction from terminological resources
  * status of linguistic semantics and ontology
  * knowledge evolution and terminological dynamics

Terminology for applications
  * terminology in industrial applications
  * terminology in education
  * terminology for human translation
  * terminology for machine translation

Luc Boruta (Alpage/Inria)

nous parlera de :

Indicators of allophony and phonemehood: towards a plausible model of
the acquisition of phonology?

R?sum?:

Though the phonemic inventory of a language is typically small,
phonetic and phonological processes yield manifold variants for each
phoneme. Allophonic rules relate phonemes to their variants,
describing the contexts in which the latter occur. I am interested in
describing procedures by which infants, learning their native
allophonic grammar, could reduce the variation and recover words from
the speech stream. Combining insights from both computational and
behavioral studies, I endorse the hypothesis that infants are good
distributional learners and that they might ?bootstrap? into language
by tracking statistical regularities in the signal. In the first part
of the talk I will adopt Peperkamp et al.'s framework to benchmark the
performance of individual acoustic, distributional and lexical
indicators. In the second part, I will combine indicators of different
types, reformulating the task as a clustering problem. I will show how
the so-called ?parallel universes? approach can incorporate the
advantages of individual indicators while avoiding artificial
interactions between them.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Num?ro sp?cial de la revue TAL (Traitement Automatique des Langues)
sur les "Ressources linguistiques libres"

Ces derni?res ann?es, les ?volutions du domaine du TAL, tant dans ses
approches que dans ses ambitions, ont chang? de fa?on importante les
paradigmes de conception, de construction, d'exploitation et
d'?valuation des ressources linguistiques. En particulier,
l'importance prise par les approches empiriques ont fait cro?tre les
besoins en corpus annot?s et en ressources lexicales.  Un nombre de
plus en plus important de langues, parmi lesquelles le fran?ais et les
autres langues romanes, se sont ?quip?es de ressources de plus en plus
sophistiqu?es.

Les ressources linguistiques sont textuelles, orales, voire
multimodales. Elles regroupent :

- des corpus ?crits ou oraux, bruts ou, plus naturellement, enrichis
  d'annotations de toute nature, de la simple ?tiquette
  morphosyntaxique ? une information prosodique, et d'un graphe de
  d?pendance ? des structures de discours.

- des ressources lexicales relevant de l'un ou l'autre des niveaux
  d'analyse linguistique, mais ?galement de grammaires ou d'autres
  formes de mod?lisation de tous types de structures linguistiques ?
  la fronti?re entre lexique et grammaire d?pend d'ailleurs souvent de
  l'approche (cf. TAG, lexique-grammaire, etc).

- des ressources complexes, combinant corpus annot? et base de donn?e
  lexicale associ?e et/ou combinant des informations issues de
  diff?rents niveaux d'analyse linguistique.

Elles rassemblent une ou plusieurs variantes de la langue ou des
langues trait?es : langue standard, langue journalistique, langue de
sp?cialit? (avec souvent une grande importance donn?e aux aspects
terminologiques), langue orale (?ventuellement transcrite), blogs et
forums, SMS, etc.


Toutefois, le d?veloppement de ressources linguistiques est une t?che
longue, co?teuse et fortement sujette aux erreurs, quelles que soient
les approches utilis?es. C'est une des raisons de l'importance
croissante prise par les ressources libres dont l'exploitation et la
redistribution sont possibles tout en garantissant le maintien du
droit d'auteur lors de toute modification.


L'objectif de ce num?ro sp?cial porte sur toutes les probl?matiques
scientifiques li?es aux ressources linguistiques de toutes
natures. Au-del? de la simple description de ressources qui reste
souvent d'un int?r?t limit?, les soumissions attendues porteront sur
l'ensemble des th?matiques li?es aux ressources linguistiques, et
notamment:

- la mod?lisation des donn?es linguistiques constituant les ressources
  : (cadres formels linguistiquement motiv?s, repr?sentations
  d'informations linguistiques sous forme de donn?es structur?es et/ou
  quantitatives, normes pour les ressources linguistiques?).

- les m?thodologies de d?veloppement de ressources linguistiques,
  qu'elles soient purement manuelles, purement automatiques ou
  hybrides (techniques semi-supervis?es, m?thodes par transfert
  interlingue, utilisation d'outils de pr?-annotation, interfaces de
  validation/correction, etc.) ; les approches favorisant ? la fois la
  pertinence linguistique et la minimisation du "co?t humain" seront
  particuli?rement appr?ci?es.

- la validation et l'?valuation des ressources linguistiques, y
  compris au sein de syst?mes de TAL mais ?galement de linguistique
  exp?rimentale ; les contributions devront montrer en quoi
  l'utilisation de ressources linguistiques a permis d'am?liorer les
  performances d'un syst?me ou la compr?hension d'un ph?nom?ne et/ou
  constituer un moyen pertinent d'?valuer voire d'am?liorer ces
  ressources linguistiques.


Sont attendues en priorit? des contributions en lien avec des
ressources linguistiques pour le fran?ais, ou, mieux encore, des
ressources multilingues dont l'une des langues est le fran?ais. Les
travaux concernant des ressources pour d'autres langues romanes sont
?galement pertinentes. Parall?lement, les contributions en lien avec
des ressources libres seront particuli?rement appr?ci?es.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue of the TAL (Traitement Automatique des Langues / Natural
Language Processing) Journal on "Free Language Resources"

ATALA (French Association for Natural Language Processing) invites
authors to submit papers for the Special Issue on "Free Language
Resources".

Latest developments and applications in the field of Natural Language
Processing have significantly changed the paradigms for the design,
construction, operation and evaluation of, the so called, Language
Resources. In particular, the growing importance of empirical
approaches has raised the demand of corpora and lexica as major
sources of data on languages. An increasingly important number of
languages, including French and other Romance languages, are gradually
becoming equipped with new and richer resources.

Language Resources can be textual, oral or multimodal. They include:

- written or oral corpora, raw or, more interestingly, enriched with
  annotations of several kinds, which can range from morphosyntactic
  labels to prosodic information, from dependence graphs to discourse
  structure markup.

- lexical resources with information about one or more levels of
  linguistic analysis, and also grammars or other forms of modeling
  different types of language structures ? the boundary between
  lexicon and grammar depends often on the approach (cf. TAG,
  lexicon-grammar, etc.).

- complex resources, combining an annotated corpus and an associated
  lexical database or combining information from different levels of
  linguistic analysis.


A language resource may involve one or more variants of the language
or languages covered: standard language, the language of journalism,
specialized language (often with great importance given to issues of
terminology), oral language (if transcribed), blogs and forums, SMS,
etc..


However, the development of language resources is a long, expensive
and highly error prone task regardless of the approaches used. This is
one of the reasons for the increasing importance of resources which
are freely available, so that authors and owners, while keeping the
authorship, allow for their exploitation, transformation and
redistribution.


The goal of this special issue is to focus on the full range of
scientific issues related to language resources that go beyond the
description of the resources by themselves. Thus, expected
contributions can cover all topics related to language resources,
including:

- Modeling of the language data that constitute the resource (both
  linguistically motivated formal frameworks, representation of
  linguistic information in the form of structured and/or quantitative
  data, standards for Language Resources ...)

- Methodologies for the development of Language Resources, either by
  hand, completely automatic or hybrid (semi-supervised techniques,
  interlingual transfer methods, use of pre-annotation tools,
  validation / correction interfaces, etc.), approaches promoting
  linguistic relevance while minimizing the "human cost" are most
  welcome.

- Methods for validation and evaluation of language resources
  including extrinsic evaluation within NLP systems and for
  experimental linguistic purposes. Contributions must show how the
  use of language resources has caused system performance
  improvements, better understanding of phenomenon and/or be a means
  to assess or improve these language resources.


Language Resources for French, or better multilingual resources or
language independent methods where French is one of the addressed
languages, are the main objective of this call. Works on resources for
other Romance languages are also relevant. In addition, contributions
related to free resources will be particularly appreciated.

========================================================================
AND 2011
Fifth Workshop on
Analytics for Noisy Unstructured Text Data
In conjunction with
the 11th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition
(ICDAR)
September 17th, 2011
Beijing, China
http://and2011.cse.lehigh.edu/
========================================================================

Noisy unstructured text data is ubiquitous in real-world
communication. Natural language and the creative ways that humans use
it can create problems for computational techniques. Electronic text
from the Internet (emails, message boards, newsgroups, blogs, wikis,
chatlogs and web pages), contact centers (complaints, emails, call
transcriptions, message summaries), and mobile phones (SMS) is often
noisy - contains spelling errors, abbreviations, non-standard words,
false starts, repetitions, missing punctuation, missing case
information and special characters.

Informal communications are not the only source of noisy text; Text
produced by processing signals intended for human use such as
printed/handwritten documents, spontaneous speech, and camera-captured
scene images, are prime examples. Recognition errors made by Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
systems can result in imperfect transcriptions. An increasing stream
of imperfect OCR results are featured by ongoing mass-digitization of
the world's written cultural heritage.  Such noise in text has raised
new sets of challenges for the task of Information Retrieval and
Knowledge Management.

Handling noisy text poses new challenges for Information Extraction
(IE), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Information Retrieval (IR)
and Knowledge Management (KM). Special handling of noise as well as
noise-robust IR and KM techniques are essential to overcome these
challenges. As in the case of AND 07, 08, 09, and 10, we intend that
AND 2011 will provide researchers an opportunity to present their
latest results toward addressing these challenges. We seek papers
dealing with all aspects of noisy unstructured text data, its
processing and applications. We particularly encourage contributions
that look toward solving real life problems.

We welcome original research papers that identify key problems related
to noisy text analytics and offer solutions. Potential topics include
(but not limited to):

- Noise induced by document analysis techniques and its impact on
  downstream applications
- Formal theory on characterization of noise
- Genre recognition based on the type of noise
- Robust parsing and Part of Speech (POS) tagging
- Characterizing, modelling and accounting for historical language
  change
- Methods for detecting and correcting errors in noisy text
- Information extraction and retrieval from noisy text data
- Automatic classification and clustering of noisy unstructured data
- Noise-invariant document summarization techniques
- Issues in keyword search in presence of noise in unstructured data
- Machine Translation for noisy text
- Analyzing very short communications like those on Twitter
- Techniques for analysis and mining of call-logs, transcribed calls,
  web logs, chat logs, emails, tweets
- Business Intelligence (BI) applications dealing with noisy text data
- Surveys relating to noisy text analytics

TOTh 2011 : WORKSHOP - JOURNEE D'ETUDE
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Journ?e d??tude TOTh

Le succ?s que connaissent les conf?rences TOTh, 5 ans apr?s leur
premi?re ?dition, illustre tout l?int?r?t de lier la terminologie et
l?ontologie, deux disciplines qui, bien que diff?rentes, partagent des
pr?occupations communes.

Les conf?rences TOTh, sous la caution scientifique d?un comit? de
programme international, ont atteint aujourd?hui une organisation
stable. Pr?c?d?es d?une formation, elles couvrent ? travers une
conf?rence d?ouverture, des articles de recherche et d?application
ainsi qu?une disputatio un large champ d??tudes et d?investigation.

Le besoin se fait aujourd?hui sentir de mettre en place des journ?es
d??tude TOTh afin d?approfondir un sujet en relation avec les th?mes
de la conf?rence. Les journ?es d??tude sont organis?es et accueillies
par un partenaire (universit? ou organisation) en accord avec le
comit? de programme de TOTh. D?une dur?e d?un jour, elles sont
planifi?es ? mi-parcours, entre deux ?ditions successives des
conf?rences TOTh du mois de juin.

1?re Journ?e d??tude TOTh
? La d?finition en terminologie ?

La premi?re journ?e d??tude TOTh portera sur ? La d?finition en
terminologie ?. Organis?e par le Centre de Linguistique de

TOTh Workshop

The success of the TOTh conferences since their inception five years
ago shows the widespread interest in linking terminology and ontology,
two disciplines which, although different, share common concerns.

The TOTh conferences, with the scientific backing of an international
committee, have achieved a stable structure. Preceded by a training
session, they encompass an open-minded conference comprising items of
research and of application as well as wide-ranging debate on items of
study and investigation.

The need is now felt to put in place some TOTh workshops in order to
go into individual subjects in depth in relation to the themes of the
TOTh conferences. The workshops are organised and accommodated by a
partner (a university or organisation) in agreement with the TOTh
programme committee. Lasting one day, they are planned midway between
two successive June TOTh conferences.

1st TOTh Workshop
? The definition in terminology ?

The first TOTh workshop will be about ? The definition in terminology
?. It is being organised by the Linguistic Centre of the Universidade
Nova de Lisboa and the Condillac Research Group, and will be held on
Monday, 21st November 2011, at the Calouste Gulbenkian foundation in
Lisbon.

You will find the description of the 1st TOTh Workshop at the address below.

Vacancy: PhD position

The Department of Computer Science (LIA) of the Universit? d'Avignon,
southern France, is looking for a PhD student to work in the area of
Statistical Machine Translation.

LIA has performed research in many fields of Natural Language
Processing for more than 20 years. It has in particular a strong
experience in spoken language systems.


Topic: Speech statistical machine translation

Last years' most efficient Machine Translation (MT) systems are based
on statistical methods. To increase their capacities, these approaches
require large database with examples, which may be hard in some cases,
for some specialized domains for instance. Besides, MT systems have to
deal with transcription errors when they are applied on hypotheses
generated by speech recognition systems. A relevant research prospect
is to use information of different types when applying MT.

The use of syntax has recently allowed recent breakthroughs in MT,
either using parsing trees or hierarchical models. In the context of
spontaneous spoken documents that severely disturb syntactic analysis,
other information has to be considered. Semantics for a specific
context could be used instead as additional features for MT models.


Candidate profile

The successful candidate will have a Master's degree (or equivalent
qualification) in Computer Science with a good background in
Computational Linguistics or Artificial intelligence by the time of
appointment.

The PhD will be funded by a grant from the French government. It is
expected to start on october 2011.
Please send a CV to Fabrice Lef?vre (fabrice.lefevre... at univ-avignon.fr) 
and
St?phane Huet (stephane.huet... at univ-avignon.fr) by *Monday 20th June*.

*/La cooccurrence : du fait statistique au fait textuel/*

Besan?on, 8-9-10 f?vrier 2012

(/english version below/)

Depuis 60 ans et l'historique affirmation de Firth ? you shall judge a
word by the company it keeps ?, les travaux sur la cooccurrence se
sont multipli?s dans le monde pour devenir un champ ? part enti?re de
la linguistique de corpus et de la linguistique textuelle.

Au-del? des perspectives tr?s diverses (?tudes phras?ologiques,
extraction d'expressions idiomatiques, traduction automatique,
d?sambigu?sation s?mantique d'homographes, fouille de textes,
description et mod?lisation textuelles, mise ? jour des th?matiques du
discours, etc.), au-del? aussi des variantes terminologiques pas
uniquement imputables ? des effets de traduction (/cooccurrence/,
/collocation/, /colligation/, /corr?lats/, /associations/, etc.), ces
travaux foisonnants reposent sur une posture contextualisante commune
et sur une approche probabiliste du langage partag?e [London school
(Firth et Halliday) puis Birmingham school (Sinclair), Laboratoire de
Saint-Cloud (Tournier), etc.]. Le postulat est en effet ici que le
sens na?t toujours en contexte, qu'il se construit ? partir du
co-texte, et la cooccurrence repr?sente la seule forme objectivable,
minimale mais calculable, de ce co-texte.

Le colloque ? La cooccurrence : du fait statistique au fait textuel ?
(Besan?on, 8-10 f?vrier 2012) veut aujourd'hui faire le point sur les
?tudes en cours, confronter les m?thodologies, analyser les enjeux.

Sans exclure les ?tudes lexicologiques, phras?ologiques ou le
traitement automatique de la langue dont les avanc?es th?oriques aussi
bien que les nouveaux algorithmes de calcul, les outils d'extraction
et de repr?sentation des r?alit?s cooccurrentielles pourront ?tre
pr?sent?s, on portera une attention particuli?re, dans la voie
lointainement initi?e par Halliday & Hasan, ? *la cooccurrence comme
facteur primordial de la textualit?*.

Partant du simple calcul des paires de mots statistiquement
cooccurrentes dans le corpus ou du simple rep?rage des mots
statistiquement associ?s ? un mot-p?le donn?, les contributions
devront chercher ? apporter un ?clairage novateur sur des ph?nom?nes
cooccurrentiels plus complexes comme les r?seaux cooccurrentiels
intriqu?s qui structurent un texte, la cooccurrence g?n?ralis?e
(Viprey) ou la poly-cooccurrence (Martinez) qui construisent des
structures d'?quivalence, ou de r?sonance, non obvies, ou encore sur
les cooccurrences indirectes (A => B => C) ou de deuxi?me g?n?ration
qui ? force d'it?ration pr?tendent ?puiser le texte. Si le texte est
aujourd'hui per?u comme une entit? r?ticulaire avec ses r?currences,
ses ?chos, ses rhizomes, la cooccurrence doit permettre de le d?crire
et le mod?liser.

L'axe syntagmatique et la lin?arit? orient?e du texte pourront aussi
?tre probl?matis?s. D'abord purement statistique, la d?finition de la
cooccurrence comme copr?sence r?guli?re de deux unit?s linguistiques
dans une fen?tre textuelle donn?e pourra ?tre enrichie par des
contraintes distributionnelles dans la tradition harrissienne ou des
contraintes de contigu?t?, d'orientation, de place ou d'encha?nement
pour rejoindre la notion de /pattern/, de /segment r?p?t?/ (Salem) ou
de /motif/ (Longr?e et Mellet).

Enfin, une attention particuli?re pourra ?tre port?e aux cooccurrences
sur des niveaux linguistiques ?tag?s, c'est-?-dire ? celles qui
concernent non pas seulement deux mots comme c'est habituellement le
cas dans le cadre du traitement du vocabulaire, mais deux ?l?ments
grammaticaux, ou, de mani?re crois?e, des ?l?ments lexicaux et
grammaticaux, des lemmes et des ?tiquettes morphosyntaxiques, etc.

Certaines communications pourront porter sur l'histoire proprement
dite de cette dimension dans la constitution et l'?volution de la
linguistique textuelle, dans les domaines francophone, anglo-saxon,
scandinave, mais aussi dans le reste du monde.

A l'exception de ces derni?res, les propositions de communication
devront prendre appui sur l'?tude de corpus pr?cis?ment d?finis et,
par del? le traitement et l'analyse des donn?es, mettre fortement en
?vidence l'apport m?thodologique et/ou th?orique de la contribution.

Les langues du colloque seront le fran?ais et l'anglais.

*/Co-occurrence: from a statistical to a textual phenomenon/*

*Besan?on, 8-9-10 February 2012*

**

Call for papers

60 years ago, Firth declared, "you shall judge a word by the company
it keeps." Since he made that historic statement, studies on
co-occurrence patterns have multiplied in the world and have now
become a field in their own right, existing within the larger fields
of corpus linguistics and text linguistics.

Work focusing on co-occurrence patterns has adopted a great variety of
perspectives, focusing on, for example, phraseological phenomena,
automatic extraction of idioms, automatic translation, homograph
disambiguation, text mining, textual description and modelling, and
retrieval of discourse themes. Also, the terminology used has
displayed a notable diversity (which may not be entirely explained by
translation effects): indeed, the phenomena examined have been
referred to as co-occurrence patterns, collocations, colligations,
correlates, associations, and other terms. However, one should not be
puzzled, because, in spite of these visible differences, studies on
co-occurrence patterns all share a common postulate regarding the
essential role of context in the elaboration of word meaning, and they
all bring a probabilistic approach to the study of language [see
London school (Firth and Halliday), Birmingham school (Sinclair),
Laboratoire Saint-Cloud (Tournier), etc]. In brief, they assume that
(i) meaning is always a contextual phenomenon and is elaborated on the
basis of the co-text; and (ii) co-occurrence patterns are to be
considered as the only objectified units of the context, a minimal yet
calculable form.

The colloquium "Co-occurrence: from a statistical to a textual
phenomenon", to be held in Besan?on from 8-10 February 2012, intends
to take stock of current studies, to compare methodologies, and to
analyse the scientific stakes involved.

Lexicological and phraseological studies, as well as work on natural
language processing, may be submitted. Contributions may also present
new logarithms, or new tools for extracting and modelling
co-occurrence phenomena. Work that would embrace the path opened long
ago by Halliday and Hasan, /i.e. /to//consider *textuality as being
primarily built by co-occurrence facts*,**would be most appreciated.

Whether the contributions rely on the simple computation of word pairs
that statistically co-occur within a given corpus, or on the simple
identification of words that are statistically associated with a
word-pole, it is expected that they will shed light on more complex
structures such as the intricate co-occurrence networks organizing a
text, generalised co-occurrences (Viprey), or polyco-occurrences
(Martinez), which contribute to the establishment of
underlyingequivalence or resonance structures. Contributions may also
address indirect co-occurrence patterns A => B => C (also called
second-generation co-occurrence patterns) which, if repeated several
times, help reveal the content of a text. Indeed, since a text is now
widely considered as a reticular entity formed by recurrent patterns,
echoes, and rhizomes, then co-occurrence patterns should make text
description and modelling possible.

The issues of the syntagmatic axis and the linear orientation of a
text may also be debated. Co-occurrence patterns have been defined,
first, as a purely statistical phenomenon,/i.e/. as the regular
co-presence of two linguistic units within a given textual window; but
it may be improved by identifying distributional constraints
(following the tradition of Harris's work) or constraints affecting
adjacency relations, or the orientation, position and/or sequencing of
given units; work of this kind would then meet the notions
of/pattern/, /repeated segments/ (Salem) or /motifs/ (Longr?e and
Mellet).

Finally, special attention may also be given to multi-level
co-occurrence patterns /i.e./ patterns connecting two grammatical
units (and not two lexical items as is usually the case when one
analyses the vocabulary of a given corpus); studies may also cross
linguistic levels and focus on the co-occurrence of lexical units with
grammatical units, lemmas with morpho-syntactic tags, etc.

A certain number of submissions concerned with the history of the
notion of /co-occurrence/ and its role in the emergence and evolution
of textual linguistics will be accepted; the tradition may be
investigated in French-speaking countries, in the Anglo-Saxon and
Scandinavian areas, or in the rest of the world.

With the exception of this last (historical) orientation, submissions
must rely on precisely defined corpora, and, beyond the processing and
analysis of the data, they must emphasize the methodological and/or
theoretical contribution to the field.

The languages of the conference are French and English.

Proposition de post-doctorat ? l'universit? de Caen, laboratoires
GREYC / CRISCO.

Projet Outils et M?thodes pour l?exploration des textes en Sciences 
Humaines
============== ============== ==============

Ce projet interdisciplinaire vise l'utilisation de techniques de
fouille de donn?es ou de fouille de textes sur des probl?matiques
linguistiques (analyse de discours, stylistique, linguistique de
corpus, etc.).

L'objectif du travail de post-doc est la constitution et
l'exploitation des outils informatiques capables de d?tecter des ?
motifs ? lexicaux et grammaticaux dans des corpus ; plus exactement,
les m?thodes en TAL et en fouille de donn?es d?velopp?es au
laboratoire Greyc ont un avantage certain sur les outils ?
traditionnels ? de la linguistique de corpus, dans le sens o? elles
mettent en ?uvre des logiciels puissants pour l?identification des
motifs s?quentiels. Ces m?thodes ont ?t? ?prouv?es sur le probl?me de
la d?tection d?interactions entre g?nes ou sur l'apprentissage de
patrons linguistiques dans des articles de presse ; l?originalit? de
ce projet est donc d?appliquer ces m?thodes sur des discours plus
complexes, ? savoir des textes ? valeurs litt?raires, sociologiques ou
historiques. L?objectif est donc :

- d'utiliser les outils de fouille de donn?es permettant
  l?identification de s?quences / motifs pour l'analyse stylistique ;

- d'utiliser des outils permettant l'identification de r?seaux
  phrastiques dans les textes ;

- d?adapter ces outils ? l?utilisation non experte, afin de les
  mutualiser pour des disciplines diff?rentes ;

- de concevoir des repr?sentations de r?sultats facilement
  interpr?tables ;

- de concevoir des m?thodes et outils ad?quats et pertinents pour
  l?exploration textuelle en Sciences Humaines.

Comp?tences attendues du post-doctorant
==========================

Nous recherchons un candidat

- ayant un profil en traitement automatique des langues ou en fouille
  de donn?es ;

- et ayant des comp?tences en d?veloppement informatique (notamment
  pour mettre au point des outils destin?s ? des non-sp?cialistes).

Environnement de travail
==============

Le post-doc sera accueilli au Greyc. Il travaillera en collaboration
avec Dominique Legallois (linguistique, Crisco) et Thierry Charnois
(TAL / fouille de donn?es, ?qupes Dlu et Codag du Greyc) .

Ce travail interdisciplinaire s'inscrit dans le prolongement d'un
travail d?j? amorc? et ayant donn? lieu ? des premiers r?sultats
(Legallois et al. 2011). Il s'appuie aussi sur des travaux li?s ?
l'hybridation de m?thodes de fouille de donn?es et du traitement des
langues (Cellier et Charnois 2010, Charnois et al 2009), ainsi que sur
les travaux plus linguistiques (Legallois 2009 ; 2006).

La dur?e du contrat est de 12 mois (d?marrage pr?vu en septembre
2011).  Salaire : environ 1900 euros nets sur financement CPER
(Conseil R?gional Basse-Normandie)

Contacts : Thierry Charnois (informatique, Greyc) ; Dominique Legallois

Le laboratoire GREYC CNRS UMR 6072 de l'universit? de Caen
Basse-Normandie propose un post-doc financ? par la R?gion
Basse-Normandie sur un projet de recherche.

Sujet : d?veloppement de m?thodes de fouille de donn?es pour
l'extraction de connaissances ? partir de textes
=====

Contexte
========

L'objectif g?n?ral de ce travail est de d?velopper de nouvelles
m?thodes de fouille de donn?es adapt?es aux sp?cificit?s du texte en
tirant profit des compl?mentarit?s des techniques de traitement
automatique des langues avec celles des techniques de fouille.

L'id?e consiste ? tirer parti de la capacit? des m?thodes de fouille ?
faire ?merger des r?gularit?s et des motifs sur des donn?es
volumineuses, - les motifs d?couverts ?tant ensuite utilisables en TAL
en tant que patrons linguistiques ou r?gles d'extraction -, ainsi qu'?
d?velopper des m?thodes de fouille adapt?es aux sp?cificit?s du texte.
L'originalit? de ce sujet est ainsi de croiser les techniques de TAL
(notamment pour l'extraction d'information) et de fouille de donn?es.

Il existe un savoir-faire au GREYC sur les m?thodes de fouille de
donn?es et du traitement automatique des langues (TAL), notamment en
extraction d'information, et depuis peu d'ann?es, nous d?veloppons une
th?matique ?mergente autour de l'hybridation de ces deux domaines
(Charnois 09 ; Plantevit 09 ; Cellier 10a ) dans le cadre du projet
Bingo2 (2008-2011, http://bingo2.greyc.fr) financ? par l'ANR. Le
post-doc propos? se situe dans le prolongement de ce projet, et
s'appuie sur le projet ANR Hybride accept?e ? l'appel ? projets blanc
2011 de l'ANR.  Hybride regroupe le GREYC (?quipe CoDaG), le LORIA
(?quipe Orpailleur), MoDyCo (Paris X) et l'INSERM (Orphanet, sur les
maladies rares). Il a pour ambition de d?velopper de nouvelles
m?thodes et outils pour guider la d?couverte de connaissances ? partir
de textes.


Travail propos?
==============

Pour adapter les algorithmes de fouille de donn?es aux donn?es
textuelles, le post-doctorant pourra, selon son profil, travailler sur
l'un ou l'autre des deux volets suivants :

1 ** Conception et mise au point d'une m?thode pour la fouille de
donn?es sous contraintes textuelles.**

Cet aspect pourra ?tre initi? par la r?alisation d'un extracteur de
fouille de donn?es s?quentielles prenant en compte des itemsets et
int?grant des contraintes syntaxiques classiques (par ex. gap,
longueur, etc) mais aussi des contraintes "textuelles" : par
ex. l'appartenance ou non d'un type particulier d'item dans les motifs
extraits, ce type pouvant ?tre sp?cifi? par une information
linguistique (exemple : pr?sence de la cat?gorie "verbe", ou encore
"verbe d'interaction"...) ; la formalisation et l'int?gration des
contraintes textuelles sera ? d?velopper. L'objectif applicatif est
d'associer des informations linguistiques vari?es (morphologiques,
syntaxiques, s?mantiques...) ? des unit?s textuelles de diff?rents
niveaux (mot, proposition, phrase...) : les unit?s textuelles sont par
nature ordonn?es donc s?quentielles, alors que les informations
linguistiques sont de type ensembliste (itemsets). L'exp?rimentation
consistera en un cas d'?tude sur une collection de textes issue
d'Orphanet (base de donn?es internationale sur les maladies rares
accessible via le web : http://www.orpha.net/). Pour aller au-del? de
la fouille de s?quences, un prolongement de ce volet pourra porter sur
la fouille de graphes.

2 ** Etude de faisabilit? de l'extension du cadre de la programmation
par contraintes ? la fouille de s?quences sous contraintes. **

Des travaux sur les liens PPC et fouille ont d?j? ?t? r?alis?s au
GREYC (Khiari 10) dans le cas des itemsets (qui est un cadre
ensembliste). Il s'agit maintenant d'?tendre ces travaux pour prendre
en compte la s?quentialit? non seulement de donn?es textuelles mais
aussi plus largement de toutes donn?es ordonn?es (fouille de
s?quences). Une id?e est l'exploitation de contraintes PPC comme la
contrainte REGULAR propos?e par G. Pesant (CP'2004) pour l'extraction
de s?quences fr?quentes. Une extension de ce travail pourra porter sur
la fouille s?quentielle sous contraintes souples.



* Profil
=======

Nous recherchons un informaticien ayant des connaissances dans au
moins l'un des domaines suivants : fouille de donn?es, fouille de
textes, programmation par contraintes (PPC), apprentissage
automatique.

* Lieu, dur?e et r?mun?ration
===========================

Contrat de 12 mois (possibilit? de prolongation), ? pourvoir ? partir
de septembre 2011
R?mun?ration : aux alentours de 1950 euros net par mois
Le poste est ? pourvoir au GREYC.

*************** S?minaire Alpage *******************

S?minaire de l'?cole doctorale de Paris 7

Il s'agit du s?minaire de recherche en linguistique informatique
organis? par l'?quipe Alpage, Alpage est une ?quipe mixte Inria --
Paris 7 qui centre ses int?r?ts scientifiques autour de l'analyse
syntaxique automatique et du traitement du discours pour la langue
fran?aise.

Le prochain s?minaire se tiendra vendredi 17 juin de 11.00 ? 13.00 en
salle 3E91
? l'UFRL, 175, rue du Chevaleret, 75013 Paris (3e ?tage)

Toute personne int?ress?e est la bienvenue.

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

Charlotte Roze  (Alpage/Inria)

nous parlera de :

Vers une alg?bre des relations de discours pour la comparaison de
structures discursives

R?sum? :
 
Le traitement automatique du discours vise principalement ? d?velopper
des syst?mes permettant de g?n?rer des analyses de la structure
discursive d?un texte, constitu?es de relations de discours ?tablies
entre ses diff?rentes parties.

Dans cette perspective, la constitution de corpus de r?f?rence et
l??valuation des annotations produites par les syst?mes d?analyse
automatique sont des t?ches primordiales. La constitution de corpus de
r?f?rence n?cessite bien souvent la ? fusion ? de diff?rentes
annotations d?un m?me texte, donc la comparaison de structures
discursives. L??valuation des annotations g?n?r?es par un syst?me
implique elle aussi la comparaison de structures discursives.

Les questions qui se posent dans un objectif de construction d?une
r?f?rence ou d??valuation sont les suivantes : comment comparer deux
annotations en discours ? quelles structures de discours sont
?quivalentes ou compatibles ? En effet, deux annotations discursives
d?un m?me texte peuvent diff?rer sans que l?une ou l?autre soit pour
autant ? fausse ? ou ? incompl?te ?.
 
On propose une m?thodologie pour la construction de r?gles de
d?duction de relations de discours. La construction de ces r?gles a
pour principal objectif de pouvoir calculer la fermeture discursive
d'une structure de discours, c'est-?-dire de d?duire toutes les
relations que la structure contient implicitement. Calculer les
relations implicitement contenues dans des structures discursives peut
permettre d'am?liorer leur comparaison.  La m?thodologie pr?sent?e
s'appuie sur : l'exploitation d'un corpus d'annotations discursives ;
la d?finition th?orique des relations de discours ; l?annotation de
donn?es empiriques, extraites ? partir de corpus non annot?s en
discours.

Th?me de la journ?e
-------------------------

Le traitement des entit?s nomm?es a ?t? un champ de recherche tr?s
actif ces derni?res ann?es. Si de nombreuses avanc?es ont ?t?
r?alis?es, on constate cependant que les technologies ont
essentiellement ?volu? ? la demande, ? travers campagnes d'?valuation
et besoins applicatifs. Aujourd'hui, diverses questions se posent,
autant sur l'?tat des connaissances sur le sujet que du point de vue
des perspectives de recherche.

D'un point de vue linguistique, ces unit?s linguistiques ne semblent
pas encore compl?tement formalis?es. Si de r?cents travaux en ont
propos? plusieurs d?finitions, il reste difficile d'obtenir un
consensus sur le sujet. D'o? l'opportunit? d'un ?change, d'une part
sur la nature des entit?s nomm?es, d'autre part (et r?troactivement)
sur les normes, les typologies, les m?thodes ? utiliser dans un
processus d'annotation (manuelle ou automatique). Ce sujets sont
d'autant plus importants qu'? l'?chelle fran?aise et europ?enne, des
projets en cours de r?alisation (ETAPE, QUAERO, ...) sont fortement
d?pendants de ces questions et tentent d'y apporter des r?ponses.

Par ailleurs, si la reconnaissance d'entit?s nomm?es a atteint une
certaine maturit? pour traiter, notamment, des textes journalistiques
g?n?ralistes, de nombreuses questions restent ouvertes : intervention
en sortie de reconnaissance automatique de la parole ou sur des textes
r?cup?r?s en temps r?el dans des flux d'actualit?s (dont entit?s
hors-vocabulaire), suivi d'entit?s nomm?es (cha?nes cor?f?rentielles),
d?sambiguisation hors-contexte / en contexte...

translation.  The team currently consists of nine permanent, postdoc
and PhD researchers. We have funding to hire 4 to 6 postdocs or PhD
students.  We also consider applications from computer science
engineers with a proven record of developments in the field for
natural language processing.

These positions are funded in the range of 49 to 55K Euros for a
postdoc, depending on qualification and experience. Funding is
available immediately and for up to three years.

Topics of interest are (but not limited to):
  - adaptation techniques
  - discriminative and unsupervised training, comparable corpora, etc
  - use of new machine learning methods, e.g. continuous space
    techniques
  - syntax-based methods

Prerequisites:
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in statistical
modeling, machine learning, language processing and machine
translation.  Several years of experience in using UNIX environments,
including the standard script and programming languages is a necessary
condition.  Knowledge of the Moses decoder will be considered
favorably.  We are particularly interested in native speakers of
Arabic, Chinese or Pashto.

The research is supported by a large computing cluster owned by our
group. The working language is English.

Please send a CV and names and contact information of three referees
to Holger.Schwenk at lium.univ-lemans.fr. Inquiries should be sent to the
same address.  Applications are welcome from now until the positions
will be filled. Interviews at EMNLP/WMT in July in Edinburgh can be
arranged.

24th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
ESSLLI 2012
August 6-17, 2012
Opole, Poland
http://www.esslli2012.pl
Call for Course and Workshop Proposals
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI)
is organized every year by the Association for Logic, Language and
Information (FoLLI, http://www.folli.org/) in different sites around
Europe. The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between
linguistics, logic and computer science.  ESSLLI offers foundational,
introductory and advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a
wide variety of topics within or around the three main areas of
interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and
Computation. Previous summer schools have been highly successful,
attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school
has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion
for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study
of Logic, Language and Information. For more information, visit the
FoLLI website, as well as the ESSLLI 2011 website:
http://esslli2011.ijs.si/.


CALL FOR COURSE AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The ESSLLI 2012 Program Committee invites proposals for foundational,
introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 24th
annual Summer School on important topics of active research in the
broad interdisciplinary area connecting logic, linguistics, computer
science and the cognitive sciences.

All proposals should be submitted via the EasyChair system, using a
prescribed form that is available on the ESSLLI 2012 website, no later
than:

June 19, 2011 (extended)

Authors of proposals will be notified of the committee's decision by
September 15, 2011.


GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION

Proposers of courses and workshops should follow the guidelines below
while preparing their submissions; proposals that do not conform with
these guidelines may not be considered.

Courses are taught by 1 or max. 2 lecturers, and workshops are
organized by 1 or max. 2 organizers. Lecturers and organizers must
have obtained a Ph.D. or an equivalent degree at the time of the
submission deadline. Courses and workshops run over one week
(Monday-Friday) and consist of five 90-minute sessions.  Lecturers who
want to offer a long, two-week course should submit two independent
one-week courses (for example, an introductory course in the first
week and an advance course in the second). The ESSLLI program
committee has the right to select only one of the two proposed
courses.


FOUNDATIONAL COURSES

These are strictly elementary courses not assuming any background
knowledge.  They are intended for people who wish to get acquainted
with the problems and techniques of areas new to them. Ideally, they
should allow researchers from other fields to acquire the key
competencies of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the
development of a truly interdisciplinary research community.
Foundational courses should have no special prerequisites, but may
presuppose some experience with scientific methods and general
appreciation of the field of the course.


INTRODUCTORY COURSES

Introductory courses are central to the activities of the Summer
School.  They are intended to provide an introduction to the
(interdisciplinary) field for students, young researchers, and other
non-specialists, and to equip them with a good understanding of the
field's basic methods and techniques. Such courses should enable
experienced researchers from other fields to acquire the key
competencies of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the
development of a truly interdisciplinary research
community. Introductory courses in a topic at the interface of two
fields can build on some knowledge of the component fields; e.g., an
introductory course in computational linguistics should address an
audience which is familiar with the basics of linguistics and
computation. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the
level of the course as compared to standard texts in the area (if
available).


ADVANCED COURSES

Advanced courses should be pitched at an audience of advanced Masters
or Ph.D.  students. Proposals for advanced courses should specify the
prerequisites in detail.


TIMETABLE FOR COURSE PROPOSAL SUBMISSION:
Jun 19, 2011: Proposal Submission Deadline
Sep 15, 2011: Notification Deadline
Jun 1, 2012: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready course material by
the ESSLLI
2012 local organizers


WORKSHOPS

The aim of the workshops is to provide a forum for advanced
Ph.D. students and other researchers to present and discuss their
work. Workshops should have a well-defined theme, and workshop
organizers should be specialists in the theme of the workshop. The
proposals for workshops should justify the choice of topic, give an
estimate of the number of attendants and expected submissions, and
provide a list of at least 15 potential submitters working in the
field of the workshop. The organizers are required to give a general
introduction to the theme during the first session of the
workshop. They are also responsible for various organizational
matters, including soliciting submissions, reviewing, drawing up the
program, taking care of expenses of invited speakers, etc. In
particular, each workshop organizer will be responsible for sending
out a Call for Papers for the workshop and to organize the selection
of the submissions by the deadlines specified below.  The call for
workshop submissions must make it clear that the workshop is open to
all members of the ESSLLI community and should indicate that all
workshop contributors must register for the Summer School.

TIMETABLE FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS:
Jun 19, 2011: Proposal Submission Deadline
Sep 15, 2011: Notification Deadline
Oct 15, 2011: Deadline for submission of the Calls for Papers to
              ESSLLI 2012 PC chair
Nov 1, 2011: Workshop organizers send out First Call for Papers
Dec 15, 2011: Workshop organizers send out Second Call for Papers
Jan 15, 2012: Workshop organizers send out Third Call for Papers
Feb 15, 2012: Deadline for submissions to the workshops
Apr 15, 2012: Suggested deadline for notification of workshop
              contributors
Jun 1, 2012: Deadline for submission of camera-ready copy of workshop
             proceedings to the ESSLLI 2012 Local Organizers.

Workshop speakers will be required to register for the Summer School;
however, they will be able to register at a reduced rate to be
determined by the Local Organizers.


FORMAT FOR PROPOSALS

Forms for submitting course and workshop proposals are available on
the ESSLLI 2012 website.

The proposers are required to submit the following information:

* Contact address and fax number
* Name, email, affiliation, homepage of each lecturer / workshop
  organizer (at most two per course or workshop)
* Title of proposed course/workshop
* Abstract (abstract of the proposal, max 150 words)
* Type (workshop, foundational, introductory, or advanced course)
* Areas (one or more of: Computation, Language, Logic, or Other)
* Description (describe the proposed contents of the course and
  substantiate timeliness and relevance to ESSLLI in at most one A4
  page)
* Tentative outline of the course / expected participation in the
  workshop
* External funding (whether the proposers will be able to obtain
  external funding for travel and accommodation expenses)
* Further particulars (e.g., course prerequisites, previous teaching
  experiences, etc.)


FINANCIAL ASPECTS

Prospective lecturers and workshop organizers should be aware that all
teaching and organizing at the summer schools is done on a voluntary
basis in order to keep the participants' fees as low as
possible. Lecturers and organizers are not paid for their
contribution, but are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses
(up to fixed maximum amounts, which will be communicated to the
lecturers upon notification). Lecturers and workshop organizers will
have their registration fee waived. In case a course or workshop is to
be taught/organized by two people, a lump sum will be reimbursed to
cover travel and accommodation expenses for one of them; the splitting
of the sum is up to the lecturers/organizers. It should be stressed
that while proposals from all over the world are welcome, the School
cannot guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs, especially if
lecturers or organizers have to come from outside of Europe.

The local organizers would highly appreciate it if, whenever possible,
lecturers and workshop organizers find alternative funding to cover
travel and accommodation expenses, as that would help us keep the cost
of attending ESSLLI 2012 lower.

ABOUT TIA 2011

It is widely held that we are living in an era in which global
communication technology has enabled us to transcend borders and that
we are witnessing the advent of a global community. Although this
oft-repeated claim is not without foundation, it is also an undeniable
reality that one of the greatest obstacles to global communication --
the language barrier -- remains almost intact and manifests itself in
every facet of global communication.

Parallel to this, certain trends - which perhaps emerged quite a while
ago - have intensified to such an extent that they have become issues
of serious concern. One is the fragmentation not only of scientific
subjects but also of non-scientific activities, and the accompanying
subdivision of communications, even within a single language. For
example, mathematicians working on different topics use different
terminology sets, and the intersection between the jargon used by
gamers and that used by musicians is minimal; even among gamers,
different jargons are used depending on the type and genre of the
game.  The other is the massively reduced life expectancy of terms in
cutting-edge spheres. It is not uncommon to find that a set of terms
one learned several years ago is no longer in use.

While multilingual terminology is a well-established research topic,
these changes in the environment in which the topic is situated have
given it a new dimension and increased the challenges involved in
researching it. It is against this backdrop that we chose multilingual
aspects of terminology as the central topic for TIA 2011, while at the
same time welcoming a broad range of related topics.

TIA 2011 will be the ninth event in the successful series which
started out as a predominantly francophone conference. The conference
has gradually attracted a wider audience and over the past six years
it has grown to be a truly international conference. Welcome to TIA
2011!


TOPICS

Papers can address theoretical questions or methodological aspects.
Interdisciplinary work which emphasizes the convergence and
co-operation of multiple disciplines dealing with terminological
issues is welcome.

Papers addressing specific issues linked to the topic of multilingual
terminology will be particularly welcome, but we are also soliciting
original contributions on any of the following topics with a
theoretical, methodological or practical orientation:

Terminology acquisition and management
 * term acquisition
 * terminology structuring: acquisition of relations
 * terms as named entities
 * terminology evolution
 * terminology evaluation
 * multimodal information management in terminology

Terminology and knowledge representation
 * ontology construction from terminological resources
 * status of linguistic semantics and ontology
 * knowledge evolution and terminological dynamics

Terminology for applications
 * terminology in industrial applications
 * terminology in education
 * terminology for human translation
 * terminology for machine translation
 * terminology for natural language processing


IMPORTANT DATES

     10 July 2011   Extended deadline for submission

The 5th Language and Technology Conference (LTC 2011), November 25-27,
2011, Poznan, Poland


CALL FOR PAPERS - NEW DATES - LTC DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JULY 31


We are pleased to inform you that the 5th Language and Technology
Conference (LTC'11), a meeting organized by the Faculty of Mathematics
and Computer Science of Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, Poland in
cooperation with the Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation, will take
place on November 25-27, 2011.

Since very beginning the meetings of the LTC series continue to
address Human Language Technologies (HLT) as a challenge for computer
science, linguistics and related fields. Fostering language
technologies and resources remains an important mission in the
dynamically changing information-saturated world. We aim at
contributing to this mission and we invite you to join us in that at
LTC'11 in November 2011, traditionally held in Pozna?, Poland.

As a related event, the 2nd Less-Resourced Languages Workshop (a Joint
LTC-ELRA-FLaReNet--META-NET): "Addressing the Gaps in Language
Resources and Technologies" (LRL 2011) will be organised during the
LTC. The paper submission will respect the same procedures as for the
main conference.  More about this event may be found at
www.ltc.amu.edu.pl.

LTC'11 is organized under the patronage of the Polish Presidency of
the EU Council and Mr Ryszard Grobelny, Mayor of Pozna?.

Paper submission

The conference accepts papers in English. Papers (5 formatted pages in
the conference format) are due by July 21, 2011 (midnight, any time
zone) and should not identify the author(s) in any manner. In order to
facilitate submission we have decided to reduce the formatting
requirements as much as possible at this stage. Please, however, do
observe the following:

1. Accepted fonts for texts are Times Roman, Times New Roman. Courier
   is recommended for program listings. Character size for the main
   text should be 10 points, with 11 points leading (line spacing).

2. Text should be presented in 2 columns, 8,42 cm each with 0,95 cm
   between columns (gutter).

3. The document size is 5 pages formatted according to (1) and (2)
   above.

4. The use of PDF format is strongly recommended, although MS Word
   will also be accepted. (Please no latex and other formats)

You may also use the templates (ELRA/LREC based format), to be found
at http://www.ltc.amu.edu.pl (soon).

Detailed guidelines for the final submission of accepted papers will
be published on the conference web site before September 12, 2011.

All submissions are to be made electronically via the LTC'11 web
submission system (EasyChair). Acceptance/rejection notification will
be sent by September 12, 2011.

PUBLICATION POLICY

Acceptance will be based on the reviewers' assessments (anonymous
submission model). The accepted papers will be published in the
conference proceedings (hard copy, with ISBN number) and on
CD-ROM. The abstracts of the accepted contributions will also be made
available via the conference page (during its lifetime). Publication
requires full electronic registration and payment of the conference
fee (full registration) by at least one of the co-authors before
October 12, 2011.

A post-conference volume with extended versions of selected papers is
planned to be published. As this was the case for post-LTC'07
(v. 5603) and LTC'09 (v. 6562), it is planned to publish them in the
Springer series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence.

EXHIBITIONS AND SPECIAL EVENTS

*Poster forum*
Although all accepted papers will be presented by the authors in the
traditional, standard way (oral presentation + discussion), the
organizers will offer to the authors an additional opportunity to
present (mini) posters containing the abstract and the key ideas of
the paper. Posters will be presented by the organizers during the LTC
in the conference area. No extra fee will be charged for this form of
presentation. The poster size will be A1, horizontal.

(Notice. The Poster forum should not be confused with traditional
poster sessions. In particular, there will be no limited resentation
time and the posters do not have to be accompanied by the authors)

*Hyde park corner*
We intend to arrange "A Hyde Park Corner" for non-reviewed
presentations and positions. Limited number of presentations
(depending on the available space) will be accepted. The content must
meet the conference scope and aims. Both form and content must conform
to the Polish and International Law. Texts will be presented on the
sole responsibility of the authors/presenters and will not be
published or reproduced in the Conference documents.

*A book exhibition* is intended (exhibitor may address their proposals
by e-mail at ltc at amu.edu.pl). Also, registered participants are
invited to bring hard copies of their papers and books. We plan to
make special presentations of the achievements of the conference
participants, irrespective of whether they are directly related to the
conference topic.

*Tutorials* A tutorial program is under construction.

*Special events.* Besides the standard conference presentation of
papers, the Organizers are open to various kinds of initiatives
(expos, demos, satellite workshops, panels, awards).  A program of
special events is now under construction. You are welcome to contact
us with your suggestions.

AWARDS FOR BEST STUDENT PAPERS
As at the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Language and Technology Conferences (2005,
2007, 2009) special awards will be granted to the best student papers.
The regular or PhD students (on the date of paper submission) are
concerned. Co-authored papers will be considered provided that the
students' contributions exceeds 60% and that the main author(s) is
(are) student(s)(this fact must be documented by a written declaration
signed by all co-authors).

In 2005 the Jury, composed of the Program Committee members present at
the conference, awarded this distinction to:
Ronny Melz (University of Leipzig, Germany),
Hartwig Holzapfel (University of Karlsruhe, Germany),
Marcin Woli?ski (IPI PAN, Warsaw, Poland).

In 2007 this distinction went to Daria Fis(er (University of
Ljubljana)

In 2009 two awards were granted: to Mahmoud EL-Haj (University of
Essex, UK) and Alexander Pak (LIMSI-CNRS, Orsay, France).

VISAS
Participants from some non-EC countries may need visas to enter the
Polish territory. Visa delivery is exclusively in competence of the
Visa Authorities of the Schengen Convention countries. If you have any
doubts, we recommend you to check your situation with the nearest
Polish Consulate in your residence country. If you are author
(co-author) of an accepted paper, we can confirm - if necessary - that
we expect your presence at the conference for paper presentation. Upon
request, we may also write a confirmation letter (in Polish) directly
to the Polish Consulate indicated by you. To do this we will need a
request letter (e-mail) from you in which you will provide us with the
address of the Consulate you wish us to contact.

Bonjour,
 
Offre de postdoc ? France Telecom Orange Labs dans le domaine de la
recherche d'information multilingue et cross-lingue (CLIR).
 
Lieu : France Telecom Orange Labs ? Lannion (Bretagne).
Date : d?s que possible.
Dur?e : 12 mois.
 
Sujet du postdoc :
Approches hybrides de traitement des requ?tes pour la recherche
d'information cross-lingue
 
Contexte de recherche :
Certains choix techniques ou m?thodologiques en recherche
d'information multilingue n'ont pas encore atteint un niveau de
consensus. Par exemple, il n'est pas trivial d'opter pour la
traduction des requ?tes ou la traduction des contenus. Toutefois, il
nous semble d'ores et d?j? acceptable que la traduction des contenus
est plus optimale lorsque la quantit? d'informations ? indexer ainsi
que le nombre de langues concern?es ne sont pas tr?s ?lev?s. Dans le
cas contraire, la traduction pr?alable de tous les contenus index?s
dans toutes les langues peut poser de r?els probl?mes d'?conomie.  En
effet, une petite partie seulement des informations traduites pourrait
?tre r?ellement exploit?e.

 
Activit? du postdoc :
Cette activit? s'inscrit dans le cadre d'un projet de R&D dans le
domaine de la recherche d'information multim?dia et multilingue. Il
est propos? d'explorer, mettre en oeuvre et ?valuer une ou des
m?thodes hybrides pour le traitement des requ?tes en vue d'une
recherche cross-lingue.
Contrairement ? une traduction brute de la requ?te, qui peut ?chouer
compte tenu de sa pauvret? syntaxique et contextuelle, ce travail
consiste ? explorer diff?rentes approches dont la combinaison
permettrait d'effectuer des pr?-traitements ou des post-traitements
moins syst?matiques et mieux r?fl?chis sur les requ?tes :

- Identification dans le requ?te des composants invariants,
  traduisibles, translit?rables, etc.

Bonjour,

J'ai le plaisir de vous inviter ? ma soutenance de th?se intitul?e

"Probl?mes morpho-syntaxiques analys?s dans un mod?le cat?goriel
?tendu: application au cor?en et au fran?ais avec une r?alisation
informatique"

ainsi qu'au pot qui suivra la soutenance.

La soutenance se d?roulera le mardi 28 Juin ? 9h30 dans la salle 223
de Maison de la recherche, Universit? ParisIV-Sorbonne 
(28, rue Serpente, 75006 Paris).

Le jury sera compos? de :

M. Ismail Biskri, Universit? de Qu?bec ? Trois Rivi?res (Rapporteur)

Mme Aeson Yoon, Universit? nationale de Pusan (Rapporteur)

M. Alain Lecomte, Universit? de Paris 8 

Mme Injoo Choi-Jonin, Universit? de Toulouse II

M. Jean-Pierre Descl?s, Universit? ParisIV-Sorbonne(Directeur)

Mme Shihyeon Pak, Universit? Hankuk des Etudes Etrang?res(Co-directrice)


R?sum? de la th?se :

Ce travail de th?se vise ? proposer les analyses formelles de
ph?nom?nes langagiers, tels que le syst?me casuel, le double cas, la
flexibilit? de l'ordre des mots, la coordination, la subordination et
la th?matisation, dans deux langues structurellement tr?s distinctes :
le cor?en et le fran?ais. Le choix th?orique s'est port? sur le
formalisme de la Grammaire Cat?gorielle Combinatoire Applicative en
mettant en oeuvre les combinateurs de la Logique Combinatoire de Curry
et le calcul fonctionnel des types de Church.

Le probl?me ? r?soudre est le suivant : en prenant une langue ? ? cas
? comme le cor?en, avec les constructions ? ? double cas ? et la
flexibilit? dans l'ordre des mots, sp?cifiques ? certaines langues
extr?mes orientales, cette langue est-elle analysable avec un
formalisme cat?goriel et selon quelle strat?gie de calcul ? Nous
donnons un certain nombre d'exemples qui r?pondent ? cette
question. Les analyses formelles propos?es dans ce travail permettent
ensuite d'examiner la pertinence syntaxique de l'hypoth?se ? anti-anti
relativiste ? en d?gageant certains invariants syntaxiques ? partir
des op?rations de pr?dication, de d?termination, de transposition, de
quantification et de coordination.

Nous proposons ?galement un analyseur cat?goriel, ACCG, applicable au
cor?en et au fran?ais, qui permet d'engendrer, de fa?on automatique,
les calculs cat?goriels, ainsi que les structures op?rateur/op?rande.



Abstract:

This work aims at proposing the formal analysis of the linguistic
phenomena, such as the case system, the double case, the flexible word
order, the coordination, the subordination and the thematisation, in
the two structurally distinct languages: Korean and French. The
formalism of Applicative Combinatory Categorial Grammar allows us to
analyze these problems by means of the combinators of the Combinatory
Logic of Curry and the functional calculus of the Church's types. By
taking account of these formal analysis applied to Korean and to
French, we discuss on the ? anti-anti relativist ? hypothesis by
finding some syntactic invariants from the different operations such
as the predication, the determination, the quantification, the
transposition and the coordination. We propose also an categorial
parser, ACCG, applicable to Korean and French sentences, which
generates automatically categorial calculus and the operator-operand
structures.

*** Proposition de th?se avec financement ***


Sujet : Mod?lisation de dynamiques socio-cognitives dans les communaut?s
num?riques


Le laboratoire LaTTiCe-CNRS, en collaboration avec l?Institut des
Syst?mes Complexes de Paris-Ile de France (ISC-PIF), propose une th?se
financ?e sur l?analyse des dynamiques socio-cognitives dans les
communaut?s num?riques, sous la co-direction de Thierry Poibeau et
Jean-Philippe Cointet.

- Date limite de soumission : 17 juillet 2011,
- D?but souhait? du doctorat : octobre ou novembre 2011,
- Dur?e : trois ans,
- Salaire net : environ 1450 euros mensuel (pendant 36 mois),
  financement r?gional
- Contacts : Thierry Poibeau (prenom.nom at ens.fr) et Jean-Philippe
  Cointet (prenom.nom at polytechnique.org)


Avec Internet, les processus de production et de circulation de la
connaissance subissent une transition majeure. Ce paysage cognitif
virtuel, bien que b?ti par l?activit? distribu?e des individus ?
travers la plan?te, est dot? d?une dynamique largement autonome, au
sens o? elle donne lieu ? l??mergence d?un certain nombre de
structures s?mantiques endog?nes p?rennes.

OBJECTIFS

Cette th?se vise ? mieux comprendre les dynamiques hybrides des
communaut?s en ligne. On s?attachera aussi bien ? caract?riser les
dynamiques culturelles ? travers l?analyse textuelle des contenus
produits par les acteurs de ces syst?mes [2] que les dynamiques
sociales ? travers l?analyse de l??volution des r?seaux sociaux qui
sous-tendent ces communaut?s [4].

L?ambition est donc de r?aliser une reconstruction r?aliste des
dynamiques socio-s?mantiques des communaut?s de savoirs observ?es dans
ces espaces mais aussi de proposer des mod?lisations r?alistes des
processus qui les gouvernent.


Plusieurs objectifs peuvent ?tre distingu?s :

1. reconstruire et mod?liser les dynamiques m?soscopiques de ces
communaut?s. A l??chelle d?une communaut? de blogueurs, comment les
th?matiques principales et leur articulation ?voluent-elles ? Comment
?mergent de nouvelles th?matiques, et quels acteurs influents sont ?
m?me de les promouvoir ? l??chelle de la communaut? ? Comment ses
acteurs sont-ils renouvel?s ou comment la structure sociale
sous-jacente est-elle modifi?e dans le temps ? Quel est le profil
d?interaction des acteurs de cette communaut? avec les communaut?s
voisines ?

2. comprendre la diffusion et la circulation d?entit?s dans ces
communaut?s.  L?objectif est de mod?liser la dynamique de circulation
des contenus et le glissement cognitif des acteurs contraints par les
deux structures de haut niveau que constituent les r?seaux social et
s?mantique [1].

3. mod?liser les dynamiques socio-cognitives de ces syst?mes pour
t?cher de rendre compte, ? l?aide de mod?les inspir?s de la biologie
(?cologie, th?orie de l??volution) ou de l??pid?miologie culturelle,
des r?gularit?s caract?ristiques observ?es dans les cycles de
renouvellement des th?matiques [3, 5].

COMP?TENCES DEMAND?ES

Les comp?tences demand?es pour cette th?se pluridisciplinaire sont
diverses. Les ?l?ments suivants seront ?valu?s en priorit? :
- comp?tences en informatique (programmation)
- exp?rience du traitement de grandes masses de donn?es
- comp?tences en traitement des langues et/ou en linguistique
- connaissances des techniques d?apprentissage artificiel
- connaissance de l?anglais, qualit? de la r?daction ?crite


La th?se aura lieu au laboratoire LaTTiCe (? Montrouge) et ? l?ISC-PIF
(Paris, 5e). La r?partition du temps de travail entre les deux
laboratoires sera d?termin?e en fonction des besoins pour la th?se.

COMMENT CANDIDATER ?

Envoyer d?s que possible (et en tout ?tat de cause avant le 17
juillet) un mail ? Thierry Poibeau et ? Jean-Philippe Cointet en
joignant un CV d?taill? et une lettre de motivation. Joindre un lien
vers le m?moire de Master ou tout autre m?moire r?dig? r?cemment. Les
entretiens et la s?lection auront lieu courant juillet.

pages that describes the underlying methodology and includes
instructions on how to use the tools.

We are looking for stand-alone tools and extensions of existing tools,
such as the Moses open source system. Accepted papers will be
presented during the MT Marathon and published in the Prague Bulletin
of Mathematical Linguistics (http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/pbml).

Possible Topics:

 *   Training of Machine Translation models
 *   Machine Translation decoders
 *   Tuning of Machine Translation systems
 *   Evaluation of Machine Translation
 *   Visualisation, annotation or debugging tools
 *   Tools for human translators
 *   Interfaces for web-based services or APIs
 *   Extensions of existing tools
 *   Other tools for Machine Translation



This is the fourth time that the MT Marathon will host the Open Source
Convention. The papers from last three marathons are available online
(http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/pbml-91-100.html).

Papers will be reviewed by two reviewers appointed by the program
committee. Most of the accepted papers will be printed in PBML in time
for the MT Marathon, some papers may require substantial revisions and
may be postponed to subsequent PBML issues.

Appel ? communications
=========================

***** Les Classifications en Linguistique : M?thodologie, probl?mes,
***** enjeux

Colloque organis? conjointement par les doctorants de l'?quipe ?
Linguistique, Langues, Parole ? (LiLPa, UR 1339, Universit? de
Strasbourg) et les doctorants de l'Institut de Philologie Romane
(Universit? de Bochum, Allemagne).

L'activit? de classification fait partie int?grante de la d?marche
scientifique. En linguistique, au-del? des questions concernant la
typologie des langues, classer pose des probl?mes et implique des
enjeux ? tous les niveaux de l'analyse. L'objectif de ce colloque est
d'inviter ? une r?flexion autant sur la m?thodologie adopt?e en amont,
que sur la finalit? des classements, en passant par le choix et la
pertinence des crit?res retenus.

Notre souhait est ainsi de r?unir des jeunes chercheurs (doctorants et
jeunes docteurs) en Sciences du Langage, autour de questions
transversales : Pourquoi classer ? Comment classer ? Que classe-t-on ?
Dans quels buts ? Que faire de ce qui n'est pas "classable" ?

Une grande attention sera accord?e aux communications qui
contribueront ? d?velopper une r?flexion ? propos des probl?matiques
suivantes :

- L'?tablissement des cat?gories : a priori (les cat?gories ?tant
  pr??tablies) ou a posteriori (les cat?gories d?coulant des faits
  observ?s);

- Les relations entre les cat?gories : possibilit?s, modalit?s et
  int?r?ts d'?tablir des continuums ;

- Les crit?res ? prendre en compte pour d?cider de l'appartenance d'un
  ?l?ment ? une cat?gorie ;

- L'articulation entre les crit?res retenus et les objectifs vis?s ;

- R?flexion m?talinguistique : diff?rence entre cat?gorisation,
  classification, typologie ;

- Toute autre proposition en accord avec le th?me du colloque.

Ce colloque sera l'occasion de r?unir des jeunes chercheurs, en leur
offrant la possibilit? de pr?senter leurs travaux respectifs,
d'?changer, de croiser leurs regards et exp?riences. Il s'agit avant
tout d'une rencontre autour d'une probl?matique transversale - celle
des classifications dans les ?tudes du langage.

Organis? sans privil?gier une ?cole ou orientation th?orique
particuli?re, chaque domaine peut y trouver sa place. Les candidats
seront attentifs ? proposer une communication accessible aux
non-sp?cialistes de leur domaine, de mani?re ? ce que l'?change
profite ? tous. L'objectif ?tant en effet que la r?flexion men?e dans
un domaine sp?cifique constitue un apport fructueux pour l'ensemble de
la communaut?.

Call for papers
-------------------

***** Classifications in Linguistics: Methodology, Problems, Challenges
*****


This conference is organized by Ph.D. students of the team
Linguistique, Langues, Parole (LiLPa, UR 1339, University of
Strasbourg, France) and Ph.D.  students from the Institute of Romance
Philology (Ruhr-Universit?t Bochum, Germany).


The process of classification constitutes an essential part of
linguistic proceeding. In linguistics, beyond questions concerning
language typology, classifying raises many different problems and
includes challenges on every level of analysis.

The aim of this conference is to provide a basis for a reflexion on
upstream methodological issues as well as the implications of such
classifications, including the choices and the relevance of the
selected criteria.

Therefore, our wish is to assemble young researchers in linguistics
(Ph.D.  students and Post-Docs) to discuss transversal questions: Why
do we classify? How do we classify? What do we classify? For which
purpose do we classify? How do we deal with non-classifiable items?
Special attention will be attributed to talks that focus on one of the
following set of problems:

- The establishment of categories: a priori (pre-established
  categories) or a posteriori (categories that can be derived from
  observed facts);

- The relations between categories: possibilities, modalities and
  concerns to establish a continuum;

- Criteria that have to be considered to decide the affiliation of an
  item to a certain category;

- The link between the retained criteria and the aspired aims;

- Metalinguistic considerations: differences between categorization,
  classification, typology;

- All other propositions in accord with the topic of the conference.

This meeting will be an opportunity for young researchers to present
their recent work, cross perspectives and experiences. Primarily, we
aim to organize a conference about a transversal set of problems - the
classification in linguistics.

The organizers do not favor a particular school of thought or any
theoretical orientations.
Any related field or subfield of research can possibly be accepted. We
ask the applicants to hand in a talk that is accessible to
non-specialists of the research field to allow an open discussion and
exchange. The intention is to hold efficient reflections on specific
research fields and to constitute a productive contribution.


Place of the conference: Strasbourg, France

Languages: French and English

Contact : cjc.lilpa at gmail.com

Deadlines:
-------------
Call for papers: June and September 2011

Submission deadline: end of November 2011

Notifications to authors: beginning of February 2012

Deadline for the articles (final version): middle of April 2012

Date of the conference: June 2012


Submission modalities:
------------------------------
The abstracts (2 pages maximum) have to be submitted on EASY CHAIR
(http://www.easychair.org/) as an anonymous text document (word or
pdf).  One (or more) poster session(s) will be organized. The
applicants interested in the poster session have to submit an abstract
of one page.

Communication modalities:
------------------------
The selected abstracts will be presented as a 30 minutes talk (20 min
talk + 10 min discussion). The applicants for the poster session are
asked to give a talk of 10 minutes maximum before the poster session.

Public:
-------
Young researchers in language sciences are invited to submit an
abstract: Master 2 students, Ph.D. students and Post-Docs (having
obtained their Ph.D. since 3 years or less).

Publication:
---------------

Seconde conf?rence sur les Mod?les et l?Analyse des R?seaux :
Approches Math?matiques et Informatique
Du 19 au 21 octobre 2011 ? Grenoble

Conf?rence MARAMI
-----------------
Apr?s l?Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse (IRIT) en
2010, c'est le Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique de Grenoble
(LIG) qui organise ces secondes rencontres MARAMI 2011.

Cette ann?e la conf?rence dure trois journ?es qui seront structur?es
autour de conf?rences invit?es donn?es par des chercheurs du domaine
ainsi que des pr?sentations de chercheurs et d?industriels. Comme en
2010, les secondes Journ?es th?matiques : Fouille de Grands Graphes
(JFGG'11) sont associ?es ? MARAMI et plusieurs sessions communes
seront organis?es.

Les r?seaux constituent un mod?le d?information et de connaissances de
plus en plus exploit? ces derni?res ann?es pour mod?liser mais aussi
pour simuler des comportements du vivant et celui de syst?mes
informatiques et sociaux. Leur efficacit? dans les divers domaines
d'application, tels que les r?seaux en biologie, les r?seaux sociaux
ou les r?seaux informatiques, est cependant tributaire de mod?les et
de m?thodes formelles d?analyse de leur architecture, de leur
fonctionnement et de leur ?volution.

L?objectif de la conf?rence MARAMI est de fournir un cadre d??changes
et de diffusion des travaux scientifiques entre les communaut?s issues
des math?matiques et de l?informatique, qui pr?sentent une forte
synergie, pour appr?hender des probl?matiques communes ou
compl?mentaires. Dans ce sens, cette conf?rence constitue une occasion
privil?gi?e permettant d??changer les expertises et les exp?riences
capitalis?es dans chacune des communaut?s sur l?analyse, la
mod?lisation des r?seaux et leur d?ploiement dans les nouvelles
technologies, notamment de l?informatique et de la communication.

Les th?matiques privil?gi?es de ces journ?es sont organis?es en trois
grands axes :

Analyse et visualisation de r?seaux r?els
- recherche de communaut?s, classification,
- recherche de motifs fr?quents,
- visualisation et exploration de grands graphes, ...
Mod?lisation dans les r?seaux
- simulations de ph?nom?nes sur les r?seaux,
- ?volutions de r?seaux,
- graphes al?atoires, ...
Applications
- r?seaux sociaux,
- r?seaux biologiques,
- r?seaux pair ? pair,
- syst?mes de recommandation, filtrage collaboratif,
- syst?mes d'aide ? la d?cision (marketing viral, ?pid?mies),
- syst?mes multi-agents,
- ontologies / web s?mantique, ...

Dates importantes
-----------------

Soumission des articles : vendredi 22 juillet 2011
Notification aux auteurs : vendredi 16 septembre 2011
Envoi de la version d?finitive : vendredi 30 septembre 2011

Format des soumissions
----------------------
Les chercheurs, jeunes chercheurs et industriels s?int?ressant aux
approches formelles de mod?lisation et d'analyse des r?seaux ainsi
qu'? leurs applications aux technologies informatiques, sont invit?s ?
soumettre des papiers en langue fran?aise ou anglaise. Dans le but de
faciliter la diffusion de travaux de diff?rents niveaux de maturit?,
nous proposons deux formats de soumission : papier long (12 pages
maximum) et papier court (6 pages maximum). Le fichiers de styles sont
sur le site de la conf?rence.

D?but: Octobre 2011
Dur?e: 3 ans
 
Titre: Environnement d?analyse de contenus d?interaction et de
productions dans la formation en ligne.
 
Directeurs: Georges Antoniadis (LIDILEM, Grenoble) - Christine Michel,
S?bastien George (LIRIS, Lyon)
 
L?objectif de cette th?se est d?analyser les traces d?interaction
r?sultant de l?usage d?outils de communication dans un environnement
de type CSCL (computer-supported collaborative learning). Plus
sp?cifiquement elle doit permettre d?analyser l?apport et la
pertinence des m?thodes du TAL (Traitement Automatique de la Langue)
pour mesurer qualitativement et quantitativement le degr? de
construction des savoirs ; le lien et l?apport du message de
communication pour l?activit? d?apprentissage ainsi que le degr? de
collaboration entre les apprenants et son impact dans la construction
de savoirs. Les interfaces et indicateurs de visualisation utilisables
doivent ?tre mis en ?uvre dans deux contextes d?apprentissages
diff?rents (didactique des langues et apprentissage par projet) pour
compl?ter l?outil TRAVIS (Tracking Data Analysis and Visualization
tool).  L?entreprise Xerox participe au travail avec la mise ?
disposition des outils TAL en collaboration avec le laboratoire
LIDILEM.
 
Description du sujet:
 
Le sujet de recherche est interdisciplinaire et se situe ? la jonction
de l'informatique et du traitement automatique des langues (TAL).  Des
travaux r?alis?s jusqu?ici ont permis d??valuer comment les apprenants
pourraient ?mieux? collaborer ou comment les enseignants pourraient
?mieux? intervenir en observant les traces des interactions
m?diatis?es (en particulier dans le cadre des forums utilis?s dans des
formations en ligne).  Les interactions de communication entre
enseignants-tuteurs et apprenants ? distance, entre pairs ? distance
ont ?t? ?tudi?es de mani?re syst?matique gr?ce ? un environnement
sp?cialis?.
 
L?objectif de cette th?se est d?approfondir et compl?ter cette ?tude : 

- en consid?rant les traces de production associ?es aux apprentissages
  (en particulier en observant les documents produits en groupe par
  les ?l?ves pour l?apprentissage)

- en compl?tant les analyses r?alis?es actuellement par des analyses
  s?mantiques de contenus. L?utilisation du TAL est en effet envisag?
  pour permettre de mesurer qualitativement et quantitativement : (1)
  le degr? de construction de savoirs, (2) le lien et l?apport du
  message de communication pour l?activit? d?apprentissage, (3) le
  degr? de collaboration entre les apprenants et son impact dans la
  construction de savoirs.
 
Les r?sultats attendus portent sur: 

- La production d?indicateurs de mesures de la construction de
  connaissances prenant en compte la collaboration et l?interaction
  langagi?re. Les ?tudes exp?rimentales porteront sur des contextes
  d?apprentissage par projet (caract?ris? par une multitude de
  modalit?s de collaboration) et de didactique des langues
  (caract?ris? par une double mise en ?uvre des processus langagiers,
  d?une part, pour apprendre la langue et, d?autre part, pour se
  coordonner et communiquer avec le groupe).

- La conception et r?alisation d?un dispositif d?apprentissage ayant
  pour levier p?dagogique l?interaction sociale. Les indicateurs
  seront utiles pour guider les ?l?ves dans leurs activit?s et
  apprentissage et permettre aux tuteurs de mieux percevoir les
  modalit?s et r?sultats des apprentissages en groupe. Les analyses de
  traces et diagnostics seront r?alis?s en temps r?el ou a posteriori
  (l?utilisateur ayant une interface d?analyse ergonomique pour
  param?trer des modalit?s d?analyse sp?cifiques ou rejouer certaines
  activit?s).
 
Profil du candidat:
 
Le candidat doit ?tre titulaire d'un Master en informatique-EIAH ou en
traitement automatique des langues. Des comp?tences dans les deux
domaines seraient un plus. Ma?trise de la langue fran?aise et
anglaise.
 
Contexte:
 
Cette th?se interdisciplinaire sera r?alis?e sur deux laboratoires :
LIDILEM (Linguistique et Didactique des Langues Etrang?res et
Maternelles, EA 609, universit? Stendhal de Grenoble) et LIRIS
(Laboratoire d'InfoRmatique en Image et Syst?mes d'information,
UMR5205 CNRS, Lyon)
