Although its system of categories can be used straightforwardly as a semantic network, the Wikipedia categorization cannot be considered a proper taxonomy, as the relations between categories are not semantically typed. In this presentation we will show how to induce an isa hierarchy on top of the Wikipedia categorization. We start by taking the category system in Wikipedia as a conceptual network. We then label the semantic relations between categories using methods based on connectivity in the network and lexico-syntactic matching. As a result we are able to derive a large scale taxonomy with isa relations between the concepts. We evaluate the quality of the taxonomy by comparing it with ResearchCyc, one of the largest manually created ontologies, and show that the Wikipedia derived taxonomy compares favorably with it. We also discuss experiments on using Wikipedia for computing the semantic similarity of words. The Wikipedia derived taxonomy performs as well as measures using WordNet, a commonly used lexical database in Natural Language Processing. We conclude with a view on current work which includes labeling additional relations such as part-of, location and temporal ones and creating a multilingual conceptual network.

L'alignement de séquences est un problème important en biologie et différents algorithmes ont été développés, donnant des résultats variables selon la séquence à aligner. L'objectif d'Alexsys est ainsi de choisir le meilleur algorithme d'alignement en se basant sur des techniques de fouilles de données exploitant des caractéristiques de l'alignement que l'on peut déterminer simplement. L'approche adoptée au cours de la thèse est basée sur les arbres de décision. L'objectif de ce stage est de prolonger ce travail, en explorant de nouvelles techniques de fouille de données, susceptibles d'améliorer la décision du système. Le travail demandé inclura un travail bibliographique sur Alexsys et les techniques de fouille de données envisagées. Il s'agira ensuite de mettre en oeuvre ces techniques. Ce sujet peut potentiellement se poursuivre dans le cadre d'une thèse. Ce stage est soumis à l'acceptation en Master 2 ILC à Strasbourg (http://master-informatique.unistra.fr/ilc/).

Research into NLP involves concepts and methods from many fields including artificial intelligence, linguistics, computational linguistics, statistics, computer science, and most importantly cognitive science. The overall emphasis of the workshop is on the contribution of cognitive science to language processing, including conceptualisation, representation, discourse processing, meaning construction, ontology building, and text mining. The special theme of this year's NLPCS workshop is "Human-Machine Interaction in Translation". Therefore, we particularly welcome papers addressing aspects of human and machine translation and human-computer interaction in translation. Additional topics of interest include, but are not limited to: □ Cognitive and Psychological Models of NLP □ Computational Models of NLP □ Evolutionary NLP □ Situated (embodied) NLP □ Multimodality in speech / text processing □ Text Summarisation and Information Extraction □ Natural Language Interfaces and Dialogue Systems □ MultiLingual Processing □ Pragmatics and NLP □ Speech Processing □ Tools and Resources in NLP □ Human and Machine Translation □ Ontologies □ Text Mining □ Electronic Dictionaries □ Evaluation of NLP Systems These topics can be addressed from any of the following perspectives: full automation by machines for machine (traditional NLP or HLT), semi-automated processing, i.e. machine-mediated processing (programs assisting people in their tasks), simulation of human cognitive processes. With this year’s special theme we also welcome submissions on translators’ experiences with CAT tools, human-machine interface design, methods for and evaluation of interactive machine translation, feasibility studies, user simulation, etc. Keynote Speaker at NLPCS: RMK Sinha, IIT Kanpur, India, Title: Man-Machine Integration in the Translation Process: An Indian Scenario The talk will cover the current MT research and translation industry status in the Indian subcontinent.

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).

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... Ce sont ces nouveaux problèmes posés à la reconnaissance d'entités nommées que nous souhaitons aborder au cours de cette journée. Voici, sans exhaustive ni limitations, les thèmes autour desquels nous sollicitons des communications : 1/ Aspects linguistiques et méthodologiques : représentations et définitions des entités nommés, évaluation de leur reconnaissance, normalisations existantes, en cours ou à venir. 2/ Nouveaux challenges autour des entités nommées : désambiguisation des entités nommées, suivi d'entités nommés (suites coréférentielles), entités nommées et multi-modalité (oral, écrit...), aspects multilingues et/ou diachroniques, interactions entre entités nommées. 3/ Nouvelles approches pour la reconnaissance des entités nommées : utilisation de ressources encyclopédiques, fouille de données, utilisation d'autres informations pour la reconnaissance (flux audio, thèmes, sémantique). 4/ Nouvelles applications : travaux ayant un réel ancrage applicatif, sur des tâches nouvelles comme la détection de citation, les systèmes de question/réponse, le suivi de tendances, etc... Soumission ---------------- Les auteurs sont invités à soumettre un résumé de deux pages maximum (A4, Times 12), en français ou en anglais, à transmettre au format pdf à : Tln_REN2011 at univ-tours.fr .

Usually, a terminology is defined as a set of terms, which represents the system of concepts for an area and for an application. These terms remain linguistic entities and linguistic information may be associated with them. Term organization is usually not constrained by any formal logics or description, which may lead to problems like cyclicity and redundancy within a terminology. As for ontologies, they are built upon formal specification and constraints and describe also a system of concepts and associated properties for a specific area. They are intended to be used by computers and automatic applications. One may ask whether, in a specific situation, a terminology is sufficient, or whether an ontology is always required. In that respect, terminology and ontology are two complementary resources. However a weak definition of their similarities and differences may confuse the users. The objectives of this special issue is to address various issues related to differences and similarities between ontologies and terminologies, such as: - What are the differences and similarities between ontologies and terminologies? - How various (formal, structural and content) differences between terminologies and ontologies may impact their use, as well as the results provided by automatic systems? - Are terminologies suitable for populating ontologies and to which extent? - Are terminologies the first step when building ontologies? - How should the reuse of terminologies be operated? - What are the various kinds of semantic resources going from dictionaries and terminologies to ontologies, through taxonomies and classifications? - How to decide whether a terminology or an ontology should be exploited in a given situation? - How can multilingual terminologies contribute to the localization of ontologies? - Whether the same approaches may be used for the building of terminologies and ontologies? - Whether ontologies can be (re)used for improving the contents of a terminology and vice versa? - What are model representations and algorithms for the best reuse of terminologies for ontology building? - Are automated approaches suitable for this? This Special Issue of AO addresses these various questions, but is not limited to them. Authors defending various positions and points of view are encouraged to submit to this special issue.

"Par son pouvoir expressif, par sa pérennité vis-à-vis de l’univers instrumental, par son pouvoir d’amalgame avec un texte, par la capacité qu’elle a de reproduire des sons inclassables par rapport aux grammaires - la grammaire du langage comme la grammaire musicale - , la voix peut se soumettre à la hiérarchie, s’y intégrer ou s’en dégager totalement. Moyen immédiat, qui n’est pas soumis inéluctablement à la contrainte culturelle pour communiquer, pour exprimer, la voix peut être, autant qu’un instrument cultivé, un outil ‘‘sauvage'', irréductible."

Free entrance www.ircam.fr * - * - * 9:30am - 10:00am Axel Roebel and Xavier Rodet, IRCAM - Analysis and Synthesis Team. "Speech analysis, synthesis and transformation in the Analysis/Synthesis team at IRCAM" Since about 7 years the interest of composers and musical assistants at IRCAM on speech synthesis and transformation techniques has constantly grown. As a result speech processing has become one of the central research objectives of the Analysis/Synthesis team at IRCAM. In the present introduction some of the key results of the research efforts will be presented, providing examples notably related to the estimation of the spectral envelope, the estimation of the LF glottal pulse model parameters, text to speech synthesis, shape invariant signal transformation in the phase vocoder, speaker transformation, voice conversion, transformation of emotional states. * - * - * 10:00am - 11:00am Jean-François Bonastre, Laboratoire d'Informatique d'Avignon - Université d'Avignon. "Speaker Recognition: a New Binary Representation" Speaker recognition main approaches are based on statistical modeling of the acoustic space. This modeling relies usually on a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) denoted Universal Background Model (UBM), with a large number of components and trained using a large set of speech data gathered from hundreds of speakers. Each target model is derived from the UBM thanks to a MAP adaptation of the gaussian mean parameters only. An important evolution of the UBM/GMM paradigm was to consider the UBM as a definition of a new data representation space defined by the concatenation of the Gaussian mean parameters. This space, denoted "supervector" space, allowed to use Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers feed by the supervector. A second evolution step was crossed by the direct modelling of the session variability in the supervector space using the Joint Factor Analysis (JFA) approach. More recently, the Total Variability Space was introduced, as an evolution of JFA. It consists on a modelling of the total variability in the supervector space in order to build a smaller space which concentrates the information and where it is easier to model jointly session and speaker variability. Looking at this evolution, three remarks could be proposed. The evolution is always linked to large models with thousands of parameters. All the new approaches are quite unable to work at the frame per frame level and finally, these approaches rely on the general statistical paradigm where one information is evaluated as strong when it is present very often. This speech proposes an analysis of the consequences of these remarks and presents a new paradigm for speaker recognition, based on a discrete binary representation, which is able to overpass the previous approaches limitations. * - * - * 11:00am - 12:00am Nick Campbell, Centre for Language & Communications Studies - Trinity College, Dublin. "Talking with Robots" This talk describes a robot interface for gathering conversational data currently on exhibition in the Science Gallery of Trinity College Dublin. We use a small LEGO NXT Mindstorms device as a platform for a high definition webcam and microphones, in conjunction with a finite-state dialogue machine and recordings of several human utterances that are played back through a sound-warping device to sound as if the robot is speaking them. Visual processing using OpenCV forms the core of the device, interacting with the discourse model to engage passers-by in a brief conversation so that we can record the exchange in order to learn more about such discourse strategies for advanced human-computer interaction. * - * - * 12:00am - 1:00pm Simon King, Centre for Speech Technology Research - The University of Edinburgh. "Synthetic Speech: Beyond Mere Intelligibility" Some text-to-speech synthesisers are now as intelligible as human speech. This is a remarkable achievement, but the next big challenge is to approach human-like naturalness, which will be even harder. I will describe several lines of research which are attempting to imbue speech synthesisers with the properties they need to sound more "natural" - whatever that means. The starting point is personalised speech synthesis, which allows the synthesiser to sound like an individual person without requiring substantial amounts of their recorded speech. I will then describe how we can work from imperfect recordings or achieve personalised speech synthesis across languages, with a few diversions to consider what it means to sound like the same person in two different languages and how vocal attractiveness plays a role. Since the voice is not only our preferred means of communication but also a central part of our identity, losing it can be distressing. Current voice-output communication aids offer a very poor selection of voices, but recent research means that soon it will be possible to provide people who are losing the ability to speak, perhaps due to conditions such as Motor Neurone Disease, with personalised communication aids that sound just like they used to, even if we do not have a recording of their original voice. There will be plenty of examples, including synthetic child speech, personalised synthesis across the language barrier, and the reconstruction of voices from recordings of disordered speech. This work was done with Junichi Yamagishi, Sandra Andraszewicz, Oliver Watts, Mirjam Wester and many others. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Fri May 6 14:13:12 2011 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Fri, 6 May 2011 16:13:12 +0200 Subject: Info: Actes du colloque de Belgrade, expression de l'espace et du temps en francais Message-ID: Date: Thu, 5 May 2011 17:23:43 +0200 From: Dejan Stosic Message-Id: <1CF108E8-5302-4C5B-A42D-32D7BEFBB503 at gmail.com> X-url: http://www.univ-artois.fr/recherche/unites-de-recherche/grammatica/colloques/colloque-de-belgrade Chers collègues, Nous avons le plaisir de vous annoncer la mise en ligne des supports de présentations du colloque de Belgrade (23-26 mars 2011) sur le thème: "L'expression de l'espace et du temps en français: quelles formes pour quels sens?".

The conference invites the submission of papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research on all areas of computational linguistics, broadly conceived to include disciplines such as psycholinguistics, speech, information retrieval, multimodal language processing. The conference welcomes theoretical, empirical, and application-orientated papers as well as papers targeting emerging domains such as bioinformatics and social media. The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: - phonetics, phonology, and morphology - word segmentation, tagging and chunking - syntax, parsing, grammar formalisms, and grammar induction - semantics - pragmatics, discourse, and dialogue - generation and summarization - information retrieval and question answering - information extraction - sentiment analysis and opinion mining - machine translation and multilingual systems - spoken language processing and language modeling - dialogue systems and multimodal systems - language resources and tools - psychological and mathematical models of language and language acquisition - machine learning and algorithms for natural language - natural language processing applications - domain and genre adaptation of data-driven NLP systems - evaluation methodology Important Dates --------------- Paper submission deadline: November 4, 2011 Author response period: December 27-30, 2011 Notification of acceptance: January 13, 2012 Camera-ready papers due: March 9, 2012 Papers available on-line: April 19, 2012 EACL 2012 Conference: April 23 - 27, 2012 All deadlines refer to 11:59pm Samoa time (UTC/GMT -11 hours) Requirements ------------ Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. A paper accepted for presentation at EACL 2012 cannot be presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences or workshops must indicate this on the submission page. If the paper is accepted by both EACL 2012 and another meeting or publication, it must be withdrawn from one of them. Furthermore, its authors must notify the program chairs, within a week of receiving the EACL 2012 acceptance notification, whether or not they have chosen EACL 2012 for presentation of their work. Review and Selection -------------------- Reviewing of papers will be double-blind, and all submissions will receive three independent reviews. Final decisions on the program will be made by the Program Committee, consisting of the Program Co-Chairs and Area Chairs. Submissions will be assessed with respect to appropriateness, clarity, soundness/correctness, meaningful comparison, originality/innovativeness, and impact of ideas or results. Publication and Presentation ---------------------------- All papers that are accepted will be published in the proceedings of the conference, and will be presented orally or as a poster presentation as determined by the program committee. The decisions as to which papers will be presented orally and which as poster presentations will be based on the nature rather than on the quality of the work. Authors will be also asked on submission to state their preferred mode of presentation. EACL 2012 will continue aiming to give poster presentations a high status. There will be no distinction in the conference proceedings between papers that are assigned different presentation modes. Submission Information ---------------------- All submissions must be submitted electronically as PDF and must follow the two-column format of EACL proceedings. Authors are strongly recommended to use the style files available on the conference web site. Papers may consist of up to nine (9) pages of content and any number of additional pages containing references only. EACL 2012 will also accept papers accompanied by the resource(s) (software or data) described in the paper. In addition to the regular review of the research quality of the paper, these papers will also be reviewed for the quality of the resource that is being made available. Acceptance or rejection decision will be made based on the quality of both the research and the software/data component. As reviewing will be double-blind, the paper should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Authors should not use anonymous citations and should not include any acknowledgments. Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. The deadline for submission is 11:59pm Samoa Time (UTC/GMT -11 hours) on November 4, 2011. Additional instructions for electronic submission will be posted on the conference website at http://eacl2012.org Mentoring service ----------------- EACL is providing a mentoring (coaching) service for authors from regions of the world where English is less emphasized as a language of scientific exchange. Many authors from these regions, although able to read the scientific literature in English, have little or no experience in writing papers in English for conferences such as the E/ACL meetings. If you would like to take advantage of the service, please upload your paper in PDF format by September 23, 2011 using the paper submission software for the mentoring service which will be available at the conference website. Questions about the mentoring service should be referred to Invited speakers ---------------- TBA Best paper awards ----------------- TBA Organization ------------ General Chair: Walter Daelemans (University of Antwerp, Belgium) Program Co-Chairs: Mirella Lapata (University of Edinburgh, UK) Lluis Marquez (Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, Spain) Area Chairs: TBA Mentoring Chairs: Caroline Sporleder (Saarland University, Germany) Gertjan van Noord (University of Groningen, The Netherlands) Publications Chairs: Adri de Gispert (University of Cambridge, UK) Fabrice Lefevre (University of Avignon, France) Local Chair: Marc El-Beze (University of Avignon, France) Local Co-Chair: Tania Jimenez (University of Avignon, France) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Fri May 6 14:19:32 2011 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Fri, 6 May 2011 16:19:32 +0200 Subject: Appel: 13th European Workshop on Natural Language Generation (ENLG 2011) Message-ID: Date: 06 May 2011 10:32:04 +0200 From: Claire Gardent Message-Id: <9da079$2q4j0c at mail4-relais-sop.national.inria.fr> X-url: http://talc.loria.fr/13th-European-Workshop-on-Natural.html X-url: http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/research/genchal11 13th EUROPEAN WORKSHOP ON NATURAL LANGUAGE GENERATION (ENLG 2011) http://talc.loria.fr/13th-European-Workshop-on-Natural.html THIRD CALL FOR PAPERS ENLG 2011 will take place in Nancy, France, Sep. 28-30, 2011. Submission deadline: June 1, 2011 Invited Speakers - Oliver Lemon, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK - Johanna Moore, University of Edinburgh, UK - Jeff Orkin, MIT Labs, USA The ENLG 2011 workshop continues a biennial series of workshops on natural language generation that has been running since 1987, providing a regular forum for presentation of research in this area. ENLG 2011 invites substantial, original, and unpublished submissions on all topics related to natural language generation. This includes research on core NLG issues as well as research in any area of NLP that produces language output, such as dialog systems, summarization, MT, etc. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Generation of affect and emotion - Personalization and personality of text - Content and text planning - Lexicalisation - Referring expression generation - Surface realization - Generation for dialog systems - Generation for embodied agents and robots - Evaluation of NLG systems - Text-to-text generation - Generation for summarization - Multimedia or multimodal generation - Story-telling and narrative generation - NLG for real-world applications e.g., Computer Assisted Language Learning, Authoring tools - Psycholinguistics and NLG - NLG in linguistically motivated frameworks - Statistical processing for NLG - Use of ontologies in NLG - Generating controlled languages ENLG 2011 will also include a special session on the Generation Challenges 2011. Generation Challenges is an umbrella event designed to bring together different shared-task evaluation efforts that involve the generation of natural language. In 2011 four shared-tasks on surface realisation, generating instructions in virtual environments, question generation, and the improvement of academic papers are being organized. Some of them will be presented at ENLG 2011. See the Generation Challenges website at http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/research/genchal11 for more information on how to participate in a shared task or propose a new shared task. Requirements: Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications must provide this information at submission time. If ENLG 2011 accepts a paper, authors must notify the program chairs, indicating which meeting they choose for presentation of their work. ENLG 2011 cannot accept for publication or presentation work that will be (or has been) published elsewhere. Submission categories: ENLG invites the submission of long and short papers: - Long papers are most appropriate for presenting substantial research results and must not exceed eight (8) pages, excluding references (accepted long papers will be presented orally); - Short papers are more appropriate for presenting an ongoing research effort, a demo or a system and must not exceed four (4) pages, excluding references (these will be presented as posters and/or demos during the poster session). Paper Submission: Submissions should be uploaded to the ENLG 2011 submission site, which will be made available. Submissions must conform to the official ACL-HLT 2011 style guidelines (see http://www.acl2011.org/call.shtml#submission), which are contained in the style files, and they must be electronic in PDF. Reviewing will be blind, so you should avoid identifying the authors within the paper. Please note that different guidelines and procedures apply to papers for the shared tasks. Please refer to the organizers of the different challenges.

Mais ces langues sont suffisamment proches pour qu on tente, à un niveau «macro», de réduire ces diverses explications en une vision unique, qui prenne en compte la sélection d auxiliaire sur les verbes simples mais aussi sur la forme pronominale, et qui soit compatible avec le choix d auxiliaire dans un domaine connexe qu est le passif.

These circumstances range from reminiscing about a shared experience, such as a birthday party, to coordinating fire-fighting efforts amongst a team using joint beliefs about mutual capabilities. This mutual understanding of perceived context is termed "common ground," and is made up of all of the background and shared information that will lead to the eventual success of the communication. Some measure of common ground is used in most, if not all, successful interactions between human actors. For humans to have a convincing and beneficial experience interacting with intelligent agents, the agents must have mechanisms that support the fundamentals of common ground. Otherwise, the consequence may be unsuccessful and incomplete interactions. This symposium aims to bring together researchers from robotics, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, computational linguistics, and cognitive modeling to share their diverse perspectives on common ground and its component factors. This investigation of how existing work explicitly or implicitly uses aspects of common ground will bring us closer to a practical approach for a complete common ground in intelligent, computational agents. Work to be presented may consist of currently implemented applications that contain common ground components, theoretical formalisms of these components, proposed frameworks, and work in progress. Topics of Interest include: =========================== Components of common ground include, but are not limited to, the following: * Background knowledge * World knowledge * Presuppositions * Mutual knowledge * Mutual beliefs * Beliefs about beliefs * Conversational maxims * Shared experiences Examples of how these components may have been incorporated into current work include the following: * Building of shared histories between actors * Representations of beliefs or beliefs about beliefs * Identifying and representing suppositions and presuppositions * Reasoning about other actors' beliefs * Creating untruthful or deceptive common ground * Formalizations of any common ground component * Agents or models which use common ground components in interaction * Discourse or dialogue models which use some aspect of common ground * Extraction of perlocutionary actions or effects from utterances * Inferring common ground * Using common ground to ground referents Submission Information ====================== Papers submitted to our symposium need to follow AAAI's formatting requirements and be 6-8 pages in length. Author information can be found here: http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php Papers can be submitted to the committee using EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aaaifs2011bcg ).

Cohen" Message-Id: <201105080034.02007.pz at limsi.fr> X-url: http://compbio.ucdenver.edu/PSB2012/index.shtml CALL FOR PAPERS: Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 2012 Text and Knowledge Mining for Pharmacogenomics: Genotype-phenotype-drug relationships http://compbio.ucdenver.edu/PSB2012/index.shtml The technical area of this session is text and knowledge mining for pharmacogenomics, particularly focusing on genotype-phenotype-drug relationships. Broad categories of work that have been well-studied in the past are included, specifically text mining and reasoning, but submissions are restricted to applications of that work to the constrained area of pharmacogenomics, and particularly genotype-phenotype-drug relationships. For example, topics that are solicited include: - Relation extraction between genotypes, phenotypes, and drugs, and other semantic classes relevant to pharmacogenomics - Corpus development for pharmacogenomics text mining - Work on the corpus of documents linked to by PharmGKB - Reasoning systems applied over the PharmGKB knowledge base Work on gene taggers would not be considered for inclusion. However, work on named entity taggers for other relevant semantic classes, such as drugs and phenotypes, would be considered responsive to the call for papers. This is a full session, not a workshop, and all accepted papers will be published in the PSB proceedings and indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE. PSB has long been considered a high-prestige conference for publication of BioNLP papers, and some of the papers from PSB NLP sessions have gone on to be quite influential, such as Fukuda et al. (1998) on gene mentions and Schwartz and Hearst (2003) on abbreviation definitions. IMPORTANT DATES - Paper submissions due: July 18, 2011, midnight Pacific (note that this is a one-week extension past the normal PSB deadline) - Notification of paper acceptance: September 9, 2011 - Final paper deadline: September 23, 2011, midnight PT - Meeting: January 3-7, 2012 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Please see http://compbio.ucdenver.edu/PSB2012/submission.shtml.

Le/la candidat(e) recruté(e) sera impliqué(e) dans les 6 taches qui composent le projet, qui vont de l'analyse proprement linguistique à la participation à des campagnes d'évaluation d'applications finalisées. Il/elle devra contribuer à une avancée notable dans la modélisation des phénomènes de prise en charge énonciative et modale dans leur interaction avec les phénomènes de datation calendaire et d'ordonnancement temporel. - Contexte de la recherche : les « timelines » Le traitement automatique de l'information temporelle exprimée dans les textes s'impose depuis quelques années comme un champ de recherche important auquel on associe des retombées dans le domaine de la recherche d'information (pour une présentation de ce domaine, on pourra se reporter à (Battistelli, 11)). Parmi les applications visées : les systèmes de questions/réponses, les systèmes de résumé automatique, les moteurs de recherche sur le web et, intégrés ou non à ces derniers, les systèmes visant à proposer en sortie une visualisation des informations sur une ligne du temps. Dans ce dernier cas, on parle aussi d'interfaces interactives sous la forme de « frises chronologiques » (ou timelines, voir par exemple l'article http://owni.fr/2011/04/12/internet-civilise-la-timeline/). Réalisées essentiellement à la main, ces types de représentations organisées sur une ligne du temps calendaire des événements semblent correspondre à de réels besoins, émanant tant des internautes cherchant à structurer leur espace de recherche que de communautés d'utilisateurs spécifiques comme par exemple les journalistes de l'évènementiel. Quand cette démarche est assistée par des outils de traitement automatique, cela revient principalement à repérer la date de parution de tel ou tel document considéré comme traitant a priori d'un seul évènement. Le projet ChronoLines (http://www.chronolines.fr/) se situe dans ce dernier champ d'applications. Il se donne comme principal objectif que de coupler des techniques d'analyse temporelle automatique des textes avec des techniques de visualisation de l'information. La méthodologie proposée repose sur l'analyse et la spécification d'un besoin de l'un des partenaires, l'AFP, qui diffuse dans ses services de nombreuses « Chronologies Evènementielles » (CE) sur toute sorte d'événements « médiatiques ». Ces CE sont actuellement réalisées à la main et sont purement textuelles. Elles sont inadaptées à l'usage multimédia, internet et mobile qui est devenu la règle. Les visées du projet ChronoLines s'articulent selon deux axes : (i) construire ces CE à partir d'un repérage semi-automatisé d'événements et d'expressions temporelles datatives dans des textes de type ‘dépêches' (en français et en anglais) ; (ii) développer des outils permettant à un utilisateur de visualiser et de naviguer à l'intérieur de ces CE en utilisant des technologies de visualisation multimédias. Les représentations visuelles ne s'appuieront pas exclusivement sur un axe temporel unique correspondant au domaine des évènements déjà réalisés et avérés, mais permettront également de visualiser des événements incertains, possibles ou encore seulement pris en charge par un énonciateur dont l'auteur de la dépêche cite les propos sans forcément y adhérer. Par ailleurs, elles incluront la possibilité de visualiser l'information à différents niveaux de granularité calendaire. - Sujet de la thèse : Thème : Dans le contexte décrit supra, la thèse concernera l'analyse et la modélisation des caractéristiques modales et énonciatives des évènements. Il s'agira de proposer une méthodologie d'analyse opératoire pour la prise en compte de deux phénomènes de rupture d'ordre temporel rencontrés dans les textes (le plus souvent combinés entre eux, ce qui rend leur analyse d'autant plus complexe) : l'un est lié à l'organisation du discours du point de vue des sources énonciatives (l'énonciateur principal, le plus souvent implicite, et différents co-énonciateurs) ; l'autre est lié à l'organisation du discours du point de vue des caractéristiques modales des contenus propositionnels (des contenus attestés aux contenus niés selon un continuum). Dans la littérature sur le sujet, tant linguistique que TAL, l'analyse de ces deux phénomènes fait l'objet de nombreux débats ; on note en particulier que ces phénomènes ne sont pas toujours associés – du moins directement - à l'analyse de la temporalité en tant que telle. Notre point de vue quant à l'analyse de ceux-ci consiste à non seulement les considérer comme tels mais aussi à en proposer une stratégie d'exploration opératoire, c'est-à-dire pouvant conduire à des modes d'analyses automatisables. La conduite de cette stratégie opératoire repose d'une part sur le fait de travailler sur des textes d'un type circonscrit (des dépêches) et d'autre part sur le fait de s'intéresser en premier lieu à l'articulation de ces deux phénomènes avec celui de la datation (Battistelli et al., 06, 11 ; Hagège et Tannier, 08), au niveau de la phrase d'abord, à un niveau d'analyse plus large que la phrase ensuite. Objectifs et méthodologie : Il s'agira tout d'abord de dresser une typologie précise des mécanismes de rupture des coordonnées énonciatives et modales liés aux contraintes d'ordre syntaxique (analyse des subordonnées en particulier), à l'instar des conceptions proposées respectivement par (Wilson et Wiebe, 03) et (Bethard et al., 04)) d'une part, et (Sauri et Pustejovsky, 07) d'autre part. Il s'agira de s'intéresser plus particulièrement à la catégorisation de ces mécanismes vis-à-vis de la sémantique des marqueurs lexicaux (sémantique verbale ou nominale) ou grammaticaux (temps ou modes verbaux) utilisés et de la position des adverbiaux temporels dans la phrase (X dit que A eu lieu en T1, X pense que A eu lieu en T1, X aurait dit que A eu lieu en T1, X dit que A peut être eu lieu en T1, etc.). Démarche absente des approches de type TAL, et plutôt abordée dans des approches du courant de la linguistique textuelle, il s'agira de s'intéresser ensuite à l'identification de ruptures de coordonnées énonciatives et/ou modales qui renvoie cette fois à la délimitation de segments textuels plus larges que les phrases. Ce niveau d'analyse nécessite l'étude de marqueurs dits de cohésion et d'incohésion temporelle, ces derniers signalant précisément des ruptures. Ils peuvent être soit de simples marqueurs typographiques tels que les guillemets, suivis ou non de deux points, soit des ensembles de marqueurs, soit encore des temps ou des modes verbaux (c'est ainsi le cas quand à une suite de temps du passé succède une suite de présents), soit encore des unités adverbiales de temps (le plus souvent en position initiale de phrases). L'identification de ces ruptures conduit à considérer que, tout en étant éventuellement pris en charge par le même énonciateur, des segments textuels ne s'inscrivent plus dans la continuité référentielle des situations décrites précédemment dans le texte. Il s'agira alors de proposer une typologie de ces « ruptures discursives » au travers de l'étude des marques d'incohésion citées plus haut. En vue de préciser les éléments de cette typologie des phénomènes énonciatifs et modaux, on pourra s'appuyer plus particulièrement sur les conceptions linguistiques de (Authier-Revuz 95) ou (Rosier 99) ; en ce qui concerne l'analyse des marqueurs de cohésion et d'incohésion, on pourra exploiter en particulier les travaux et modes d'analyse situés dans la lignée de (Smith 01), (Le Draoulec et Péry-Woodley 03) ou (Ho-Dac 07). Ce travail conduira à proposer un schéma d'annotation de segments textuels (des niveaux de la proposition et de la phrase ou d'un niveau supérieur à ces derniers) selon leurs caractéristiques modales et/ou énonciatives et produira un ensemble de ressources lexicales qui seront intégrées aux outils de traitement automatique. - Profil du candidat: Le candidat devra être titulaire d'un Master en traitement automatique des langues ou en linguistique.

[1] Track Description Human languages are complex by nature and efforts in pure symbolic approaches alone have been unable to provide fully satisfying results. Text Mining and Machine Learning techniques applied to texts, raw or annotated, brought up new insights and completely shifted the approaches to Human Language Technologies. Both approaches, symbolic and statistically based, when duly integrated, have shown capabilities to bridge the gap between language theories and effective use of languages, and can enable important applications in real-world heterogeneous environment such as the Web. The 4th Track on Text Mining and Applications (TeMA 2011) is a forum for researchers working in Human Language Technologies i.e. Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computational Linguistics (CL), Natural Language Engineering (NLE), Text Mining (TM) and related areas. Authors are invited to submit their papers on any of the issues identified below. Papers will be blindly reviewed by three members of the Programme Committee. Best papers will be published at Springer, in LNCS series. If there are additional papers whose quality is sufficiently high for deserving to be presented at TeMA 2011, those other accepted papers will be published in a conference proceedings book. Papers should not exceed fifteen (15) pages in length and must be formatted according to the information for LNCS authors. [2] Topics of Interest Topics include but are not limited to: Text Mining - Language Models - Multi-word Units - Lexical Knowledge Acquisition - Word and Multi-word Sense Disambiguation. - Semantic Restrictions Extraction and Semantic Role Labeling - Sentiment Analysis - Acquisition and Usage of Ontologies - Pattern Extraction Methodologies - Topic Segmentation - Extraction of Translation Equivalents - Word and Multi-word Translation Extraction - Text Entailment - Document Clustering and Classification - Algorithms and Data Structures for Text Mining - Information Extraction Applications: - Natural Language Processing - Machine Translation - Automatic Summarization - Intelligent Information Retrieval - Multilingual access to multilingual information - Question-Answering Systems - E-training and E-learning - Semantic Search - Web Mining [3] Important dates May 17, 2011: Paper submission deadline (extended) June 10, 2011: Notification of paper acceptance July 1, 2011: Deadline for final versions October 10-13, 2011: Conference dates [4] Paper submission Submissions must be full technical papers on substantial, original, and previously unpublished research.

Le moteur permet de croiser des requêtes calendaires et des requêtes thématiques (ex : "peinture au XVe siècle", "décolonisation dans les années 50 et 60"), mais il permet aussi d'observer dans le temps les différentes mentions des termes d'une recherche uniquement thématique (ex "université"). Les résultats sont présentés sous deux formes : - des phrases ordonnées par pertinence et regroupées par textes sources - des références positionnées sur une frise chronologies (timeline) Le moteur peut être testé en français (corpus Wikipédia "Histoire de France") ou en anglais (corpus Wikipedia "History of the United States"). Il est disponible à l'adresse suivante : - version française : http://client1.mondeca.com/TemporalQueryModule/ - version anglaise : http://client1.mondeca.com/TemporalQueryModule/?locale=en Une description plus fournie est disponible : http://client1.mondeca.com/TemporalQueryModule/TemporalQueryModuleDescriptionFR.html Ces travaux de recherche sont menés dans le cadre d'un atelier "temporalité" au sein du laboratoire MoDyCo auquel participent Delphine Battistelli, Marcel Cori, Jean-Luc Minel et Charles Teissèdre.

It is an international conference focusing on stringology and related areas. It is organized annually by the Prague Stringology Club, a research group in the Department of Theoretical Computer Science at the Faculty of Information Technology of Czech Technical University in Prague. The proceedings of recent conferences are indexed in DBLP. TOPICS: Stringology is a part of algorithmic research that deals with the processing of text strings. It has existed for at least thirty years and developed into a respected subfield of its own. The last twenty years have produced an explosion of new results. This progress is due in part to the human genome effort, an area to which string algorithms make important contributions. String processing extends into tree processing that is called Arbology. The topics of the conference include but are not limited to: * algorithms for pattern matching in strings, images and trees * data structures (automata, trees etc.) for pattern matching in strings, images and trees * coding and data compression * bioinformatics * information retrieval * string processing algorithms in databases * searching for regularities * natural language processing INVITED TALK: * To be announced SUBMISSION: Authors are cordially invited to submit their full papers (PDF format, 10-15 pages, A4 page format) by May 16, 2011. The paper should start with the title, each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, and a one-paragraph summary of the results and ideas. The paper should be submitted via submission server (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=psc2011). For their final version the papers are required to be prepared using our new LaTeX style available at http://www.stringology.org/pscproc2 which has an interface compatible to LNCS style.

Each year proceedings are prepared for the conference. They are published by Czech Technical University in Prague and are also available from the PSC web pages. Selected papers from the later workshops were also published in a special issue of the journal Kybernetika. Selected papers from the 2002-2006, 2008 conferences were then published in the Nordic Journal of Computing, Journal of Automata, Languages, and Combinatorics, and International Journal of Foundations in Computer Science. LOCATION & PUBLICATION: PSC'11 will be held at the Department of Theoretical Computer Science the Czech Technical University in Prague on August 29-31, 2011. (The precise location will be announced later.) The working language is English. As usual, accepted papers will appear in conference proceedings published by the Czech Technical University in Prague and distributed at the conference. After further refereeing, selected papers will then be published in an international journal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We apologize if you have received multiple copies of this announcement.

The development of Web 2.0 has led to the proliferation of tools for internet users to interact directly on the Web content through, annotations, reviews, comments, opinions.... The content of Web pages is no longer a static text or a fixed image, but also a user-generated data (blogs, twitter…). This fact has led to the emergence of new problems related to the analysis, mining, searching and visualizing information. The objective of this special issue is to provide a framework for researchers from both communities to exchange views and experiences on Information mining and retrieval issues (web page, annotations, blogs, queries). Papers describing theoretical aspects, prototype systems, tools and techniques and applications, as well as future directions are welcome. Topics may include, but are not limited to the following list: - Information mining and retrieval on the web - Queries Analysis and Mining on the Web - Search and Mining in blogs - Opinion Detection on the Web - Folksonomy (annotation/social indexing) - Social information mining and retrieval - Temporal information retrieval, mining and extraction Submission details ----------------------- Manuscripts should be written in English and prepared for publication in accordance with the following instructions: http://www.journal-i3.org/. The length of the paper is limited to 30 pages. Submissions should be sent in pdf format to Rim.Faiz at ihec.rnu.tn. Papers will be evaluated based on their originality, presentation as well as relevance and contribution to the field of Information mining and retrieval on the web. All papers will be rigorously refereed by 3 peer reviewers. Submission of a manuscript to this special issue implies that no similar paper is already accepted or will be submitted to any other conference or journal.

Dans le cadre de la conception de cette plateforme, nous avons étudié en particulier la problématique des "annotations concurrentes", c'est-à-dire la possibilité de manipuler des séries d'annotations "superposées", potentiellement redondantes et/ou conflictuelles.

Over the years, though, each problem or class of problems has required a different ontology, and sometimes a different version of logic. Moreover, the processes of designing, controlling and maintaining an ontology as well as its different versions have turned out to be inherently complex. All this has motivated much investigation in a wide range of disparate disciplines -- from logic-based Knowledge Representation and Reasoning to Software Engineering, from Databases to Multimedia -- about how to relate ontologies to one another. ARCOE-11 aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from core areas of Artificial Intelligence (Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Contexts, and Ontologies) and related disciplines to discuss these kinds of problems and relevant results. Historically, there have been at least three different, yet interdependent motivations behind this type of research: defining the relationship between an ontology and its context; providing support to ontology engineers; enhancing problem solving and communication for software agents. Ontology and Context. Most application areas have recognised the need for representing and reasoning about knowledge that is distributed over many resources. Such knowledge, as well as its intrinsic relevance and usability, depends on its context. The latter is determined by the syntactic and/or semantic structure of the resources, the scope of the underlying language, among other things. Research on information integration, distributed knowledge management, the semantic web, multi-agent and distributed reasoning have pinned down different aspects of how ontologies relate to and/or develop within their context. Ontology Engineering. Ontology engineers are not supposed to succeed right from the beginning when (individually or collaboratively) developing and maintaining an ontology. Despite their expertise and any assistance from domain experts, revision cycles are the rule. Moreover quite often different ontologies have to be integrated in such a way for them to be operable together (merging). Research on the automation of the process of engineering an ontology has improved efficiency and reduced the introduction of unintended meanings by means of interactive ontology editors that provide support for ontology change (debugging, updates and repair), maintenance (versioning) and integration (merging). Moreover, ontology matching has studied the process of manual, off-line alignment of two or more known ontologies. Problem Solving and Communication for Agents. Agents that communicate with one another without having full access to their respective ontologies or that are programmed to face new non-classifiable situations must change their own ontology dynamically at run-time -- they cannot rely solely on human intervention. Research on this problem has either concentrated on techniques borrowed from the non-monotonic reasoning and belief revision communities or on changes of signature, i.e., of the grammar of the ontology's language, with a minimal disruption to the original theory. This is also an important issue in the emerging area of General Game Playing. ARCOE-11 will provide a multi-disciplinary forum, where differences in methodologies, representation languages and techniques are over-arched and hopefully overcome. Accordingly, the workshop will be structured into four tracks: three of them will focus on specific areas, the fourth one will foster links and integration. Track 1: Context and Ontology This track will consist of presentations and discussions around the theme of Context and Ontology, a well-established research area that has mainly concentrated on the relationship between contexts and ontologies for distributed information and for the enhancement of software agents. Track 2: Common Sense and Non-Monotonic Reasoning for Ontologies This track will consist of presentations and discussions around the theme of Common Sense and Non-Monotonic Reasoning in logic-based Knowledge Representation and Reasoning for ontologies. These are classic areas of AI, which since their origins have produced remarkable results on logic-based methods for supporting knowledge engineers and for enhancing software agents. Track 3: Automated Ontology Evolution This track will consist of presentations and discussions around the theme of Automated Ontology Evolution for agents and general problem solving, an area which in recent years has been drawing the attention of Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Representation and Reasoning on the assessment of change impact and the automation of ontology evolution. Track 4: Links and integration This track will foster links and integration by means of invited talks and (panel) discussions. Topics that are likely to be covered are: the formalisation of software engineering concepts for ontology development; the relationship between automated reasoning and information retrieval; relationships between representation languages; relationships between canonical domains; relationships between contexts and ontology evolution and between non-monotonic reasoning and ontology evolution. ARCOE-11 will bring the participants to position the various approaches with respect to one another. Hopefully, though, the workshop will also start a process of cross-pollination and set out the constitution of a truly interdisciplinary research community dedicated to automated reasoning about contexts and ontology evolution. -- Attendance and Important Dates -- Please check the IJCAI-11 website for registration procedure, fees as well as cancellation policies. Early registration: 17 May 2011 Late registration: Please check the IJCAI-11 website Workshop date: 18 July 2011 N.B.: When registering for the workshop at the IJCAI-11 website, please make sure you select a 1-day workshop. -- Special Issue on ARCOE-related Themes -- There has recently been an agreement with the Journal of Web Semantics for a Special Issue on Reasoning with context in the Semantic Web. The Call for Papers is open to anyone and it certainly is an opportunity to submit for publication quality work about ARCOE-like themes. The special issue aims at bringing together work on reasoning with context in the Semantic Web as seen from various perspectives, e.g., ontology integration, ontology development, ontology evolution etc. Submitted articles, which may describe either theoretical results or applications, must clearly pertain to the Semantic Web and/or to semantic technologies. They should present either Semantic Web specific approaches to reasoning with context, or approaches that have characteristics that are interesting for the Semantic Web (e.g., scalability, bounded reasoning), or approaches that are of value to a larger community containing a non-trivial Semantic Web sub-community (e.g. revision/update techniques and error pin-pointing).

Plusieurs études montrent un fait remarquable qui est que tous ces réseaux, pourtant d'origines si diverses, possèdent des propriétés identiques bien particulières et font partie de la classe des Réseaux Petits Mondes Hiérarchiques (RPMH). Un autre fait tout aussi remarquable est que cette classe des RPMH est très petite au regard de l'ensemble des réseaux possibles : la probabilité de tirer au hasard parmi l'ensemble des réseaux possibles un RPMH est très proche de zéro. C'est-à-dire que les réseaux auxquels nous avons à faire dans la vraie vie se ressemblent tous par leurs structures communes, bien qu'intrinsèquement cette structure soit très rare du point de vue de la théorie de la mesure. L'étude des RPMH mobilisent un grand nombre de chercheurs dans le monde, en effet l'étude et la modélisation des RPMH restent un champ de recherche ouvert et très prometteur pour une meilleure compréhension des phénomènes sous-jacents et pour une meilleure exploitation des données dans de nombreux domaines. Dans cet exposé je commencerais par présenter les quatre propriétés fondamentales omniprésentes dans les réseaux lexicaux. Je présenterais ensuite la dynamique des trajets d'un marcheur qui se déplace aléatoirement sur les sommets d'un réseau lexical à travers les relations lexicales. Nous verrons que l'étude de ces dynamiques permet de définir des outils de métrologie lexicale. je présenterais ensuite cinq applications de ces métrologies : 1) R2SW : Une modélisation réaliste des RPMH qui permet générer artificiellement à partir de réseaux aléatoires, des réseaux possédant les mêmes propriétés que les réseaux lexicaux [1] 2) WISIGOTH : une méthode d'enrichissement endogène des réseaux lexicaux [2] 3) SLAM : un modèle de Solution Lexicale Automatique de Métaphores analogique [3] http://erss.irit.fr/demetweb/Metaphors/slam.php 4) APPROX : Une modélisation de la dynamique d'acquisition du lexique par les jeunes enfants [4], [5] 5) KODEX : Une méthode de categoristaion thematique des resultats d'un moteur de recherche [6] Références: [1] Gaume B, Mathieu F, Navarro E (2010) Building Real-World Complex Networks by Wandering on Random Graphs.

This workshop aims to bring together practitioners from academia, industry and government for interaction and discussion. The workshop will feature: * A panel discussion representing industrial and governmental input, entitled "Big Society meets Big Data: Industry and Government Applications of Mapping Meaning". Panel members will include: * Peter Mika (Yahoo!) * Representative of Google * Tom McCutcheon (Dstl) * Representative of ONR Global * An invited talk from Fausto Giunchglia, discussing the relationship between social computing and ontology matching; * Paper and poster presentations; * Workshop sponsored by: Yahoo! Research, W3C and others Workshop Description The problem of semantic alignment - that of two systems failing to understand one another when their representations are not identical - occurs in a huge variety of areas: Linked Data, database integration, e-science, multi-agent systems, information retrieval over structured data; anywhere, in fact, where semantics or a shared structure are necessary but centralised control over the schema of the data sources is undesirable or impractical. Yet this is increasingly a critical problem in the world of large scale data, particularly as more and more of this kind of data is available over the Web. In order to interact successfully in an open and heterogeneous environment, being able to dynamically and adaptively integrate large and heterogeneous data from the Web "on the go" is necessary. This may not be a precise process but a matter of finding a good enough integration to allow interaction to proceed successfully, even if a complete solution is impossible. Considerable success has already been achieved in the field of ontology matching and merging, but the application of these techniques - often developed for static environments - to the dynamic integration of large-scale data has not been well studied. Presenting the results of such dynamic integration to both end-users and database administrators - while providing quality assurance and provenance - is not yet a feature of many deployed systems. To make matters more difficult, on the Web there are massive amounts of information available online that could be integrated, but this information is often chaotically organised, stored in a wide variety of data-formats, and difficult to interpret. This area has been of interest in academia for some time, and is becoming increasingly important in industry and - thanks to open data efforts and other initiatives - to government as well. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners from academia, industry and government who are involved in all aspects of this field: from those developing, curating and using Linked Data, to those focusing on matching and merging techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Integration of large and heterogeneous data * Machine-learning over structured data * Ontology evolution and dynamics * Ontology matching and alignment * Presentation of dynamically integrated data * Incentives and human computation over structured data and ontologies * Ranking and search over structured and semi-structured data * Quality assurance and data-cleansing * Vocabulary management in Linked Data * Schema and ontology versioning and provenance * Background knowledge in matching * Extensions to knowledge representation languages to better support change * Inconsistency and missing values in databases and ontologies * Dynamic knowledge construction and exploitation * Matching for dynamic applications (e.g., p2p, agents, streaming) * Case studies, software tools, use cases, applications * Open problems * Foundational issues Applications and evaluations on data-sources that are from the Web and Linked Data are particularly encouraged.

The project will be conducted in collaboration with Symantec Ireland and will be focused on confidence estimation for Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). The aims of the project will be to explore the selection and extraction of features for estimating specific aspects of translation quality such as document comprehensibility, and to investigate whether system combination can benefit from these confidence scores by highlighting strengths and weaknesses in individual systems. The candidate will work with multiple MT systems and with a variety of datasets including noisy user-generated content. The project will involve some system integration, as well as preparation and fine-tuning for evaluation (using both automatic metrics and user studies). The successful postdoctoral fellow will have a capacity for independent research and will enjoy working in a collaborative research environment. The fellow will work closely with a PhD student on a related project investigating the use of NLP resources in SMT, and will be required to work both in DCU and in the Symantec campus in Dublin. The successful candidate will have been awarded their PhD by the start of the fellowship and will have spent no longer than 36 months of their post-PhD career in another postdoctoral position. Their PhD topic should be in the area of computational linguistics and natural language processing, and a strong preference will be given to those candidates with machine translation experience. The position will be supported by IRCSET (http://www.ircset.ie). To apply, please send a CV and the names of two referees to Johann Roturier (johann_roturier at symantec.com) and Jennifer Foster (jfoster at computing.dcu.ie) by * Monday 23rd May*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From support at OXSTONES.COM Fri May 20 19:43:54 2011 From: support at OXSTONES.COM (Oxstone Capital Management) Date: Fri, 20 May 2011 15:43:54 -0400 Subject: Oxstones Investment Club =?utf-8?Q?=E2=80=93_?=Free Alternative Investment Exchange Message-ID: Join Us at WWW.OXSTONES.COM to sign up for FREE Daily Email on our Best Investment Ideas and Global Investment Content.

Pour les Latins, le terme de Traductio désignait une figure de rhétorique. On mesure ainsi la pertinence d'une rencontre portant sur les liens entre traduction et rhétorique. Aujourd'hui, la rhétorique, tout comme la traduction, rapproche des champs disciplinaires variés : linguistique, littérature, anthropologie culturelle, philosophie du langage, etc. Les différents axes de travail suivants pourront être explorés : 1. La traduction et la nature de la rhétorique La rhétorique peut-elle être encore aujourd'hui conçue comme un ajout, un supplément d'âme et de présentation, voire même un masque (plutôt qu'un visage) ? Autrement dit, la rhétorique cessant progressivement de se confondre comme dans l'Antiquité gréco-romaine avec l'art de dire, mais aussi de penser, peut-elle être confondue avec un ensemble de procédés, qui sans être strictement ornementaux, l'engage néanmoins dans le sens d'une esthétique seconde, comme c'est le cas chez un Fontanier par exemple ? Le traducteur doit-il alors considérer qu'un « contenu » invariant est ainsi maquillé ? Par voie de conséquence, la rhétorique peut-elle se confondre avec un aspect de l'art du traducteur qui serait de faciliter (mais aussi éventuellement d'agrémenter) la lecture ? Les dimensions clairement « rhétoriques » du texte-source (par exemple les questions précisément dites « rhétoriques », liées à la seule gestation du texte) doivent-elles être gommées dans le travail du traducteur ? La rhétorique du traducteur a-t-elle une dimension « critique » ? Est-elle censée véhiculer (aussi) le point de vue singulier du traducteur ? Quelle est la part de la rhétorique dans le fait qu'historiquement les traductions ont si souvent fait l'objet d'adaptations marquées par la censure, l'idéologie, la volonté pédagogique, etc ? Quels sont les liens avec l'argumentation ? Le texte, la « lettre », doivent-ils dans l'acte de traduire s'effacer derrière des intentions, représentationnelles, polémiques et autres ? La rhétorique est-elle une « technique », ou un art « tactique ? Le traducteur doit-il être rusé ? Doit-on à rebours s'attacher à relever, comme le fait un Dumarsais, des liens étroits entre grammaire et rhétorique (nonobstant le trivium médiéval) ? La rhétorique, au contraire de l'idée commune, plonge-t-elle ses racines au cœur même de la langue ? Quelles seraient les conséquences d'une réponse positive pour la traduction ? 2. La traduction entre champs rhétorique, poétique et émotionnel Quels sont les liens entre rhétorique en tant que visée d'action, proche de la pragmatique moderne et poétique en tant qu'imitation d'action (mimesis) ? La traduction doit-elle être conçue comme une action, rendre le texte-source toujours plus efficace, ou doit-elle déployer et explorer les sources de sa propre poéticité ? la rhétorique est-elle délibérément « cibliste » ? Est-elle idiosyncrasique, un art différent dans chaque langue particulière... ou relève-t-elle au contraire de techniques tendanciellement universelles ? La distinction entre rhétorique et poétique ne serait-elle pas une conséquence d'une vision réductrice de ce qu'était la rhétorique des origines, celle d'Aristote, comme semblent en attester certaines des plus récentes traductions de son texte fondateur et qui montrent l'indissociabilité non seulement des propriétés sémantiques et esthétiques du langage, mais aussi de ses propriétés esthétiques et poétiques ? On pourra s'interroger sur l'instabilité du statut de l'émotion et de ses inscriptions passionnelles dans le champ rhétorique. Qu'à l'occasion d'un événement émotionnel, on convoque le concept de thymie en sémiotique, ou tout autre concept affine, comment cette « subconscience » où se déploient les instances affectivo-émotives est-elle saisie dans l'acte traductif ? 3. Rhétorique et traduction dans leurs dimensions philosophiques et sémiologiques D'une part : la rhétorique ne serait-elle pas au fond de nature philosophique ? Peut-on y voir l'art même de former des concepts en les délivrant ? la rhétorique se confond-elle avec la pragmatique moderne (wittgensteinienne, austinienne ...) ? D'autre part : Quels liens avec la sémiologie et/ou la sémantique discursive et textuelle ? Comment la traduction doit-elle prendre en compte des effets comme l'idiomaticité, le cliché, le stéréotype, l'emblèmatisation, les « métaphores conceptuelles », etc. Les questions évidemment décisives de l'analogie, de la polysémie, de l'implicite, de l'inférence, comme mécanismes de production des textes sont-elles rhétoriques et relèvent-elles à ce titre d'un chapitre autonome de l'art du bien traduire ? Et finalement : Quels liens entre rhétorique, traduction et phénoménologie ? Le « contenu » peut-il être distingué de son apparaître, de ses modalités de donation ? L'essence figurale du langage renvoie à l'expérience immédiate, au « corps vécu » . La traduction est sans arrêt confrontée à cette alternance de présentation (figurale, motivée, phénoménologique) et la gestation de contenus de représentation. Tout accès au réel est partiel, de l'ordre de l'esquisse, mais il s'impose avec la force du tout : ce que la tradition figure en termes - trop analytiques - de métaphore, métonymie, synecdoque, etc. renvoie à cette réalité en quelque sorte anthropologique. Mais très différemment d'une langue à l'autre. Comment la traduction doit-elle affronter ce problème ?

The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is sponsored scientifically by the European Network of Excellence on Computational Logic (CoLogNET), the European Association of Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI), the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI), the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AI*IA), the Italian Association for Informatics (AICA, member of the Council of European Professional Informatics Societies), the Italian Association for Logic and its Applications (AILA), and the Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA). THE FREE UNIVERSITY OF BOZEN-BOLZANO: The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, founded in 1997, boasts modern premises in the centre of Bozen-Bolzano. The environment is multilingual, South Tyrol being a region where three languages are spoken: German, Italian and Ladin. Studying in a multilingual area has shown that our students acquire the cutting edge needed in the international business world. Many of our teaching staff hails from abroad. Normal lectures are complemented with seminars, work placements and laboratory work, which give our students a vocational as well as theoretical training, preparing them for their subsequent professional careers. Studying at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano means, first and foremost, being guided all the way through the student's educational career. Bozen-Bolzano, due to its enviable geographical position in the centre of the Dolomites, also offers our students a multitude of opportunities for spending their free-time. The city unites the traditional with the modern. Young people and fashionable shops throng the city centre where ancient mercantile buildings are an attractive backdrop to a city that is in continual growth. To the south there is the industrial and manufacturing area with prosperous small and medium-sized businesses active in every economic sector. Back in the 17th century Bozen-Bolzano was already a flourishing mercantile city that, thanks to its particular geographic position, functioned as a kind of bridge between northern and southern Europe. As a multilingual town and a cultural centre Bozen-Bolzano still has a lot to offer today. Its plethora of theatres, concerts with special programmes, cinemas and museums, combined with a series of trendy night spots that create local colour make Bozen-Bolzano a city that is beginning to cater for its increasingly demanding student population. And if you fancy a very special experience, go and visit the city's favourite and most famous resident - "Oetzi", the Ice Man of Similaun, housed in his very own refrigerated room in the recently opened archaeological museum. Bozen-Bolzano and its surroundings are an El Dorado for sports lovers: jogging on the grass alongside the River Talfer-Talvera, walks to Jenesien-S.Genesio and on the nearby Schlern-Sciliar plateau, excursions and mountain climbing in the Dolomites, swimming in the numerous nearby lakes and, last but not least, skiing and snowboarding in the surrounding ski areas.

For further details, see http://nav.spatial.maine.edu/cosit/. Aim of the workshop ------------------- With the development of new sensor and communication technologies, there is an ever more pressing need for reliable and properly codified methods for deriving high-level information from masses of dynamic spatio-temporally distributed data. Data sources of relevance here include wireless sensor networks, CCTV, GPS, crowd-sourcing, and many others. The data may in some cases be understood as sample points from a continuous dynamic field, in other cases they may represent discrete objects forming crowds, swarms, or other collective entities. The desired high-level information can include the identification of objects or object-like aggregations, and the processes and events that they participate in, e.g., motion, expansion, contraction, splitting, or merging. Although much work is now being done on investigating such phenomena, there is still a need for a unified theoretical framework and common vocabulary to support the development of tools and techniques for handling them. This workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in the general area described above, and to solicit papers covering a range of related topics, such as * representation techniques (e.g., Voronoi diagrams; lifelines, histories and trajectories) * algorithms (e.g., spatial footprint generation and tracking, decentralised spatial algorithms) * formal theories (e.g., spatio-temporal calculi, process and event algebras, bigraphs) * applications (e.g., emergency management, security, traffic management, behaviour monitoring, environmental monitoring, ubiquitous computing) * visualisation and interaction (e.g., mobile and ubiquitous devices, natural language interaction, volunteered / crowd-sourced geographic information, ambient intelligence) We are looking for papers handling any of these topics with reference to the general theme of the workshop, identifying objects, processes, and events from distributed spatio-temporal data sources. The accepted papers will be included in the electronic COSIT conference proceedings. We also aim to approach a publisher with a view to subsequently issuing a selection of papers from the workshop (suitably extended and polished), either as a self-standing book or a special issue of a journal.

Our goal is to improve parsing performance for syntactic structures that are difficult to recover accurately, in particular for coordination and prepositional phrase (pp-) attachment. In this presentation I will focus on parse correction, which tries to make the most of the training data at our disposal by performing a second pass after parsing that reconsiders individual attachments using richer contextual information. I will also discuss initial work on a method meant to address lexical coverage problems in the treebank used for training: the injection of lexical association scores, calculated automatically over a large text corpus, into a parse correction model for pp-attachment. In our approach to syntactic dependency parse correction, attachments in an input parse tree are revised by choosing, for a given dependent, the best governor from within a small set of candidates. Assuming that a dependency parser's predicted parse tree for a sentence is mostly accurate, parse correction can revise attachments by using the parse tree's syntactic structure to restrict the set of candidate governors and extract a rich set of features over the syntactic context to help choose among the candidates. We consider a general corrective model that can be applied to all dependents in the output trees of a dependency parser, and we additionally explore specialized corrective models specific to coordination and pp-attachment. These two phenomena are often investigated as isolated problems, but here we treat them in the more realistic context of syntactic parsing. Our specialized corrective models are separately trained, and include expanded feature sets specific to the type of attachment to be corrected. For pp-attachment, in particular, the expanded feature set includes lexical association scores between the pp and each candidate governor. These lexical association scores are acquired automatically through distributional methods over a large corpus, using classic collocation extraction measures like mutual information, ttest, and likelihood ratio. In initial experiments, we obtain improvements in unlabeled attachment score over two state-of-the-art statistical syntactic dependency parsers for French (MaltParser and MSTParser). In addition to presenting the results of these experiments, I will discuss possibilities for improving both the dependency parse correction algorithm and the methods used for acquiring and injecting lexical association scores.

Submission deadline: June 8, 2011 Invited Speakers - Oliver Lemon, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK - Johanna Moore, University of Edinburgh, UK - Jeff Orkin, MIT Labs, USA The ENLG 2011 workshop continues a biennial series of workshops on natural language generation that has been running since 1987, providing a regular forum for presentation of research in this area. ENLG 2011 invites substantial, original, and unpublished submissions on all topics related to natural language generation. This includes research on core NLG issues as well as research in any area of NLP that produces language output, such as dialog systems, summarization, MT, etc. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Generation of affect and emotion - Personalization and personality of text - Content and text planning - Lexicalisation - Referring expression generation - Surface realization - Generation for dialog systems - Generation for embodied agents and robots - Evaluation of NLG systems - Text-to-text generation - Generation for summarization - Multimedia or multimodal generation - Story-telling and narrative generation - NLG for real-world applications e.g., Computer Assisted Language Learning, Authoring tools - Psycholinguistics and NLG - NLG in linguistically motivated frameworks - Statistical processing for NLG - Use of ontologies in NLG - Generating controlled languages ENLG 2011 will also include a special session on the Generation Challenges 2011. Generation Challenges is an umbrella event designed to bring together different shared-task evaluation efforts that involve the generation of natural language. In 2011 four shared-tasks on surface realisation, generating instructions in virtual environments, question generation, and the improvement of academic papers are being organized. Some of them will be presented at ENLG 2011. See the Generation Challenges website at http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/research/genchal11 for more information on how to participate in a shared task or propose a new shared task. Requirements: Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications must provide this information at submission time. If ENLG 2011 accepts a paper, authors must notify the program chairs, indicating which meeting they choose for presentation of their work. ENLG 2011 cannot accept for publication or presentation work that will be (or has been) published elsewhere. Submission categories: ENLG invites the submission of long and short papers: - Long papers are most appropriate for presenting substantial research results and must not exceed eight (8) pages, excluding references (accepted long papers will be presented orally); - Short papers are more appropriate for presenting an ongoing research effort, a demo or a system and must not exceed four (4) pages, excluding references (these will be presented as posters and/or demos during the poster session).

Cette formation consiste à donner aux étudiants des connaissances de haut niveau couvrant tous les domaines constitutifs de la linguistique, avec une ouverture vers leurs applications informatiques. Les compétences visées sont de savoir recueillir, décrire, analyser et formaliser les données linguistiques à l'aide d'outils informatiques et de bases de données. La visée de la formation est de préparer les étudiants à s'intégrer dans des équipes pluridisciplinaires sur des projets informatiques (traitement automatique des langues) ou dans la recherche en linguistique. Les enseignements offerts se caractérisent par une triple orientation : descriptive, théorique et appliquée. Une diversité des langues (africaines, asiatiques et indo-européennes) présentées dans ce parcours donne à la formation une orientation résolument multilingue. Le master se caractérise par une structure originale, permettant une formation indifférenciée durant les trois premiers semestres. Ceux-ci sont centrés sur l'approfondissement des connaissances dans les domaines clés de la linguistique ainsi que l'utilisation d'outils, d'applications et ressources informatiques en vue du traitement automatique des langues. Au 4ème semestre du master, l'étudiant peut choisir de s'orienter vers un parcours recherche classique (mémoire de recherche) ou un parcours à visée professionnalisante (stage et mémoire professionnel). Ce Master s'adresse aux étudiants intéressés par la linguistique, les applications et outils informatiques associés au traitement de données langagières. Un diplôme en Licence du Sciences du langage n'est pas exigé mais des connaissances de base en linguistique et un intérêt général pour le domaine sont indispensables. Aucun pré-requis dans les domaines de la programmation et du traitement automatique des langues n'est nécessaire pour l'inscription en M1. L'admission sur dossier est ouverte à tous les étudiants titulaires d'une licence. Pour plus d'information concernant le programme du parcours, contactez les responsables: Anna Kupsc, akupsc at u-bordeaux3.fr Laurence Labrune, laurence.labrune at u-bordeaux3.fr Les informations par rapport aux inscriptions (date limite: 2 septembre 2011): http://www.u-bordeaux3.fr/fr/formations/s_inscrire/inscription_en_1ere_ou_2eme_annee_de_master.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Wed May 25 09:04:42 2011 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Wed, 25 May 2011 11:04:42 +0200 Subject: Appel: TIPA 28, Extension date de soummission Message-ID: Date: Mon, 23 May 2011 16:12:59 +0200 From: Joëlle Lavaud Message-Id: <5.0.2.1.2.20110523153141.0154fdf8 at pop.univ-provence.fr> Extension de la date de soumission au 30 juin 2011 *********** TIPA Travaux interdisciplinaires sur la parole et le langage Le prochain numéro des TIPA sera un numéro thématique sur la linguistique expérimentale, coordonné par Philippe Blache. ************************************* Directeur de la publication : Daniel Hirst Editeur scientifique du numéro 28 : Philippe Blache Rédactrice en chef : Martine Faraco Secrétaires de rédaction : Joëlle Lavaud et Claudia Pichon-Starke *************************************** La linguistique expérimentale est un domaine aujourd'hui en plein essor. Cette approche repose sur une démarche scientifique qui, à l'instar des sciences du réel, part de l'observation de phénomènes liés au langage et à la parole, émet des hypothèses permettant d'expliquer ces événements, puis tente d'en proposer une modélisation qui sera confrontée en retour aux observations, donc aux données. L'expérimentation joue, dans cette démarche de va-et-vient entre la réalité de la parole ou du langage et le laboratoire, un rôle essentiel dans l'élaboration et la validation des hypothèses. Tous les domaines de la linguistique peuvent donner lieu à une démarche expérimentale. La phonétique expérimentale est ainsi un domaine fermement établi depuis de nombreuses années, tandis que la phonologie de laboratoire est en plein essor. De son côté, la psycholinguistique s'est toujours appuyée sur ce type de méthode et l'étude des bases cérébrales du langage vient désormais compléter cette démarche en proposant l'expérience des neurosciences. De la même façon, les autres domaines comme la syntaxe peuvent faire l'objet d'expérimentations grâce à l'étude et à la manipulation de données issues de grands corpus. Un large éventail d'outils et de méthodes est utilisé dans le cadre de cette démarche expérimentale allant des tests de perception à l'imagerie en passant par la modélisation computationnelle ou l'acquisition de données physiologiques. Toutes les propositions d'articles décrivant des travaux s'inscrivant dans cette démarche sont appelées dans le cadre de ce numéro spécial des TIPA. Ces travaux pourront porter, de façon non limitative, sur des domaines variés comme la production ou la perception de la parole, la psycholinguistique et la neurolinguistique, la linguistique computationnelle, l'étude des pathologies du langage et de la parole, etc. Ces propositions d'articles devront souligner les aspects méthodologiques sur lesquels repose l'expérimentation. L'objectif de ce numéro est de mettre en avant les convergences interdisciplinaires qui résultent de la démarche expérimentale : la transposition de méthodes issues d'un domaine à l'étude d'un autre domaine est ainsi un des enjeux de la linguistique expérimentale d'aujourd'hui, permettant d'imaginer des nouvelles approches pour l'étude de phénomènes croisés. ************************************* Calendrier 30 juin : réception des propositions d'articles (titre, résumé et mots-clés) 31 août : réception de la première version de l’article Soumission et évaluation à partir de septembre Fin octobre : retour des versions finales Parution : décembre 2011 ************************************* Merci d'envoyer vos propositions à l’adresse suivante : tipa at lpl-aix.fr Martine FARACO, au nom du comité de rédaction ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Wed May 25 09:08:46 2011 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Wed, 25 May 2011 11:08:46 +0200 Subject: Appel: CMLF 2012 Message-ID: Date: Mon, 23 May 2011 21:52:50 +0200 From: Jean-Luc Minel Message-ID: <4DDABB12.1070809 at u-paris10.fr> X-url: http://www.ilf.cnrs.fr/, *Congrès Mondial de Linguistique Française 2012* *Organisé par l'/Institut de Linguistique Française /(CNRS, FR 2393)* *du 4 au 7 juillet 2012, à l'Université Lumière Lyon 2* * * */_APPEL A COMMUNICATIONS_/* Organisation *Dates* : 4 au 7 juillet 2012 *Lieu* : Lyon, Université Lumière Lyon 2 *Site web* : http://www.ilf.cnrs.fr/, rubrique /Congrès Mondial de Linguistique Française/ Contact : cmlf2012 at ling.cnrs.fr *Institution en charge de l'organisation* * * Institut de Linguistique Française -- FR 2393 du CNRS Courriel : secretariat-general at ling.cnrs.fr Téléphone : 01 43 13 56 45 Adresse : 44, rue de l'Amiral Mouchez -- 75014 Paris * * Programme prévisionnel Le Congrès fonctionne par appel à communications.

Le nombre total de communications est estimé à 150. 7 conférences plénières seront organisées ainsi que 13 tables rondes conclusives (une par thématique scientifique). Les conférences plénières permettent à des chercheurs invités de réputation mondiale d'offrir un état de la recherche en linguistique française : * Sylvain Auroux, CNRS (France) * Bernard Combettes, Nancy-Université (France) * Mats Forsgren, Université de Stockholm (Suède) * Catherine Kerbrat-Orecchioni, Université Lumière-Lyon 2 (France) * Peter Koch, Université de Tübingen (Allemagne) * Georg Kremnitz, Université de Vienne (Autriche) * Marie-Claude L'Homme, Université de Montréal (Québec, Canada) *Calendrier* * Mai 2011 : Ouverture de la plateforme de dépôt des communications * 15 novembre 2011 : Date limite de réception des communications * 15 février 2012 : Notification de l'acceptation ou du refus des propositions de communications, et directives pour la version définitive * 15 mars 2012 : Réception de la version définitive des articles § Congrès Mondial de Linguistique Française : du 4 au 7 juillet 2012 *Intérêt scientifique* * * Le troisième Congrès Mondial de Linguistique Française est organisé par l'Institut de Linguistique Française (ILF), Fédération de Recherche du CNRS (FR 2393) qui est sous la tutelle de cet organisme et du Ministère de l'Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche. L'ILF regroupe dix-sept laboratoires de recherche, qui sont les co-organisateurs de ce congrès en partenariat avec de nombreuses associations nationales et internationales. Une telle organisation, conjointement prise en charge par dix-sept unités de recherche, est exceptionnelle par son ampleur et la volonté de partenariat scientifique qu'elle révèle. Le premier Congrès Mondial a été organisé à Paris par l'ILF en 2008, le deuxième à La Nouvelle-Orléans. Chacun de ces deux congrès a attiré plus de 300 participants et les résultats ont fait l'objet d'une publication en ligne immédiate accompagnée par un volume de résumés et un CD-ROM d'actes. Le champ de la linguistique française au plan international est foisonnant, protéiforme et extrêmement productif. L'organisation d'un congrès mondial doit se donner pour objectif de regrouper, faire connaître et diffuser ces recherches. C'est dire que ce congrès est organisé sans aucun privilège d'école ou d'orientation et sans exclusive théorique ou conceptuelle quelle qu'elle soit. Chaque domaine ou sous-domaine, chaque type d'objet, chaque type de questionnement et chaque problématique portant sur le français peuvent y trouver leur place. Dans le même ordre d'idées, la dimension internationale et l'accueil des linguistes francisants du monde entier retiennent toute l'attention nécessaire. Le CMLF est organisé en sessions thématiques et en sessions plénières telles que précisées ci-dessous. Les sessions thématiques soulignent le fait que la linguistique française n'est pas limitée à tel ou tel domaine érigé en modèle pour les autres sous-disciplines du champ. Treize thématiques ont été retenues, qui permettent de balayer la plus grande partie du champ scientifique : (1) Diachronie, histoire de la langue, (2) Didactique et enseignement du français langue maternelle, français langue seconde, (3) Discours, pragmatique et interaction, (4) Histoire, épistémologie, réflexivité, (5) Lexique(s), (6) Linguistique du texte et de l'écrit, stylistique, (7) Morphologie, (8) Phonétique, phonologie et interfaces, (9) Psycholinguistique et acquisition, (10) Sémantique, (11) Sociolinguistique et écologie des langues, (12) Syntaxe, (13) Traitement automatique des langues. A ces treize sessions thématiques a été ajoutée une quatorzième session « pluri-thématique », laissant ouverte la possibilité de travailler dans plusieurs domaines, voire en marge des territoires disciplinaires traditionnels. Chaque thématique est pilotée par un Président et coordonnée par un Vice-président (membre du Comité directeur de l'ILF, ou bien choisi par ce comité). Les comités scientifiques comportent une proportion équilibrée de spécialistes français et étrangers. Un soin particulier a été accordé à la sélection des comités afin de s'assurer qu'ils présenteraient les plus grandes garanties scientifiques pour le succès du congrès. On trouve donc dans chaque comité des linguistes connu(e)s mondialement pour leur contribution au domaine. Le rôle de ces comités sera de sélectionner les propositions de communications. Les soumissions se feront sous la forme de brefs articles de 10 à 15 pages. Chaque session thématique sera conclue par une table ronde qui présentera une synthèse des travaux.

MTT has been extensively developed over the last four decades with respect to its coverage of linguistic phenomena and application in a variety of research fields - in particular, natural language processing. After MTT '03 in Paris, MTT '05 in Moscow, MTT '07 in Klagenfurt and MTT '09 in Montreal, this conference is the fifth in a series that aims at bringing together researchers working on MTT and related frameworks and their implementation in the framework of different natural language processing applications. The conference will be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Dependency Linguistics (http://www.depling.org/) to take place immediately before MTT '11. Unlike the previous MTT Conferences, MTT '11 will be organized in terms of thematic tracks. This new format shall help center the conference and stimulate in-depth contributions and discussions at the conference. Submissions are invited on one of the following themes, approached from the perspective of MTT or any other related framework: 1. Fundamentals (semantics, syntax, morphology, phonology and their interaction), Chair: Sylvain Kahane, Université Paris Ouest 2. Dictionaries and Lexical Semantics, Chairs: Valentina Apresjan, Russian Russian Language Institute and Tilmann Reuther, Alpen-Adria Universität Klagenfurt 3. Collocations, Chairs: Margarita Alonso Ramos, Universidad de La Coruña and Leo Wanner, Universitat Pompeu Fabra 4.

Its program each year has comprised high-quality papers discussing current work spanning topics including: new grammatical models of translation; new learning methods for syntax-based models; formal properties of synchronous/transduction grammars (hereafter S/TGs); discriminative training of models incorporating linguistic features; using S/TGs for semantics and generation; and syntax- and semantics-based evaluation of machine translation. At the same time, SMT has seen a movement toward semantics over the past five years, which has been reflected at recent SSST workshops. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely linked. Semantic SMT research now includes semantic role labeling (SRL) for MT evaluation, SRL for SMT, and WSD for SMT. In order to emphasize structure and representation at semantic and not only syntactic levels, “Semantics” has been explicitly added to the name of this year's Workshop (the acronym remains SSST), and is a special workshop theme. Special sessions will be devoted to the Semantics theme.

Quoi: Rencontre avec Aldo Gangemi et Valentina Presutti Quand: mercredi 8 juin 2011 18:30 Où: Salle Piazza de l'Institut de recherche et d'innovation Centre Pompidou Piazza Beaubourg Paris Nous sommes heureux d'accueillir deux chercheurs italiens de renoms dans le domaine (entre autre !) du Web Sémantique : Valentina Presutti et Aldo Gangemi. Valentina Presutti [1], chercheuse au Laboratoire de technologie sémantique du CNR à Rome, est l'une des responsables des projets financés par l'UE NeON (Networked Ontologies - des méthodes et des outils pour la conception des ontologies en réseau) et IKS (Interactive Knowledge Stack - Un framework pour les CMS sémantiques qui apportent la sémantique au niveau de l'interaction). Egalement à l'origine de l'initiative ontologydesignpatterns.org, ses recherches portent sur le Web Sémantique, les interactions avec l'utilisateur la conception d'ontologies, les connaissances collaboratives/la gestion de contenu, et le génie logiciel basé sur les ontologies. Aldo Gangemi [2] chercheur senior au CNR à Rome est directeur du Semantic Technologies Lab (STLab). Ses travaux sur l'ingénierie de conaissances remontent à 1992, époque où il travaillait sur l'application des ontologies pour les systèmes d'organisation des connaissances dans le domaine biomédical. Ses intérêts actuels se portent sur le design d'ontologies reposant sur des patterns, la modélisation collaborative de réseaux sociaux sémantiques, l'hybridation du TAL, des ressources lexicales et sémantiques et des métamodèles pour l'intégration de connaissances hétérogènes. ll a publié plus de 100 articles dans des actes de conférences internationales, des revues et des livres, et a été impliqué dans plusieurs projets financés par l'Union européenne. STLab participe aux projets de l'UE NeOn et IKS. Au nombre des résultats les plus notables de ses recherches, mentionnons l'ontologie DOLCE, ses extensions et variations OWL selon le paradigme de DnS (DOLCE + DnS Ultralite), ses travaux sur l'Ontology Design Patterns (ODP), le Scout sémantique pour les chercheurs du CNR, etc. Aldo et Valentina présenteront les principaux axes de leur travaux récents dans les domaines du Linked Data et du Web Sémantique avec, en, ligne de mire, la possibilité de lancer une discussion destinée à favoriser de nouveaux échanges entres les communautés françaises et italiennes du Web Sémantique.

La soutenance se déroulera le lundi 6 Juin à 14h00 dans la salle de conférence du LIMSI, Université Paris Sud 11 (Bât 508, rue Louis De Broglie, Campus de l'université, Orsay). Le jury sera composé de : M. Patrice Bellot, LIA et Université d'Avignon (Rapporteur) M. Kamel Smaili, LORIA et Université Nancy 2 (Rapporteur) M. Frédéric Béchet, LIF et Université de la Méditerranée (Examinateur) Mme Jeanne Villaneau, VALORIA et Université de Bretagne Sud (Examinateur) M. Pierre Zweigenbaum, LIMSI-CNRS (Examinateur) Mme Martine Adda-Decker, LIMSI-CNRS, LPP (Directrice) Mme Sophie Rosset, LIMSI-CNRS (Directrice) Résumé de la thèse : L’objectif de cette thèse a été de proposer une approche robuste pour traiter le problème de la recherche de la réponse précise à une question. Notre première contribution a été la conception et la mise en oeuvre d’un modèle de représentation robuste de l’information et son implémentation. Son objectif est d’apporter aux phrases des documents et aux questions de l’information structurelle, composée de groupes de mots typés (segments typés) et de relations entre ces groupes. Ce modèle a été évalué sur différents corpus (écrits, oraux, web) et a donné de bons résultats, prouvant sa robustesse. Notre seconde contribution a consisté en la conception d’une méthode de réordonnancement des candidats réponses retournés par un système de questions-réponses. Cette méthode a aussi été conçue pour des besoins de robustesse, et s’appuie sur notre première contribution. L’idée est de comparer une question et le passage d’où a été extraite une réponse candidate, et de calculer un score de similarité, en s’appuyant notamment sur une distance d’édition. Le réordonnanceur a été évalué sur les données de différentes campagnes d’évaluation. Les résultats obtenus sont particulièrement positifs sur des questions longues et complexes. Ces résultats prouvent l’intérêt de notre méthode, notre approche étant particulièrement adaptée pour traiter les questions longues, et ce quel que soit le type de données. Le réordonnanceur a ainsi été évalué sur l’édition 2010 de la campagne d’évaluation Quaero, où les résultats sont positifs. Abstract: The objective of this work is to introduce a new robust approach to treat the problem of finding the correct answer to a question. Our first contribution is the design and implementation of a robust representation model for information. The aim is to represent the structural information of sentences of documents and questions structural information. This representation is composed of typed groups of words (typed segments) and relations between these groups. This model has been evaluated on several corpus (written, oral, web) and achieved good resultats, which proves his robustness. Our second contribution consisted is the design of a re-ranking method of a set of the candidate answers output by the question-answering system. This re-ranking method is based on the structural information representation. The general idea is to compare a question and a passage from where a candidate answer was extracted, and to compute a similarity score by using a modified edit distance we proposed. Our re-ranking method has been evaluated on the data of several evaluation campaigns. The results are quite good on long and complex questions. These results show the interest of our method : our approach is quite adapted to treat long question, whatever the type of the data. The re-ranker has been officially evaluated on the 2010 edition of the Quaero evaluation campaign, with positives results.

Règles grammaticales . Règles d'usage . Exercices d'entraînement corrigés par : Sylvie Garnier, docteur en sciences du langage, elle est professeur de français langue étrangère et responsable pédagogique au Centre de l’Université de Chicago à Paris. Dans le domaine du FLE, sa réflexion porte essentiellement sur la rédaction de textes académiques à un niveau avancé (B2-C1). Elle est membre du SYLED-CEDISCOR. et Alan D. Savage, docteur en littérature française, il est professeur de langue, littérature et civilisation françaises à Wheaton College (USA). Comment se perfectionner quand on est déjà bien avancé dans l’apprentissage et la maîtrise du français écrit mais pas encore totalement à l’aise pour rédiger un texte académique (comme une dissertation, un dossier, un compte rendu, un mémoire de Master, une thèse de doctorat) conforme à ce qui est demandé dans les établissements du supérieur en France ou à l’étranger, ou à la fin du cycle secondaire ? Le présent ouvrage est destiné à tous ceux qui cherchent à améliorer leurs propres compétences de rédaction ou celles de leurs élèves. Il peut être en effet utilisé dans le cadre d’une classe ou constituer un outil d’autoformation. Il comprend un livre et un CD-Rom. Le livre décrit en termes simples les outils indispensables pour rédiger un texte. Il s’attache en particulier aux structures et aux expressions qui sont employées de façon erronée ou maladroite dans les copies, et à celles qui n’y sont jamais employées. Il expose leurs particularités et ce qui les distingue les unes des autres (car n’est pas équivalent à parce que, toutefois à néanmoins, aussi à ainsi). Il propose un ensemble de règles à suivre pour éviter les erreurs grammaticales ou respecter l’usage le plus fréquemment attesté dans les écrits académiques tels qu’ils sont demandés dans les universités, instituts, Grandes Écoles, etc. Le CD-Rom propose 315 exercices avec leur corrigé commenté (équivalant à plus de 1 000 pages imprimées). Il permet de faire travailler séparément chaque point étudié, le plus souvent à partir d’extraits de textes authentiques tirés de sources variées (rapports du Sénat, revues spécialisées ou essais en sciences humaines et sociales, etc.) et traitant de questions contemporaines. Caractéristiques : 280 pages, 24 € - ISBN 978-2-7080-1300-1 Nous sommes certains que cet ouvrage intéressera vos lecteurs et vous serions reconnaissants si vous pouviez l'annoncer dans les pages bibliographiques de votre magazine/revue.

The digital ecosystem exhibits self-organizing environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its "digital components", in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying resources mainly comprehend data management, innovative services, computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems and their characteristics, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end. The conference seeks related original research papers, industrial papers and proposals for demonstrations. Topics ------- In this call, we solicit original research and technical papers not published elsewhere. The papers can be theoretical, practical and application oriented on the following themes (but not limited to): - Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure - Web Technologies - Service systems and Engineering - Emergent Intelligence - Data & Knowledge Management Systems - Multimedia Information Retrieval - Ontology Management - Social Networks - Game Theory - Networks and Protocols - Green computing - Security & Privacy - Standardization and Extensible Languages - Human-Computer Interaction - Business Intelligence - E-Services , E-Learning, E-Humanities and E-Government - B2B, B2C, B2A, E-Commerce, E-Business, E-Marketing and E-Procurement - Digital Library - Open Source Paper Submission ---------------- Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should be uploaded using the conference website. The submitted paper should be at most 8 ACM single-space printed pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 peer reviewers. After the preliminary notification date, authors rebut by evidence and arguments all reviewer inquiries and their comments. Based on the rebuttal feedback, reviewers notify authors with the final decision. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics related to Digital Ecosystems. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper. The conference Proceedings will be published by ACM and indexed by the ACM Digital Library and DBLP.

Although its system of categories can be used straightforwardly as a semantic network, the Wikipedia categorization cannot be considered a proper taxonomy, as the relations between categories are not semantically typed. In this presentation we will show how to induce an isa hierarchy on top of the Wikipedia categorization. We start by taking the category system in Wikipedia as a conceptual network. We then label the semantic relations between categories using methods based on connectivity in the network and lexico-syntactic matching. As a result we are able to derive a large scale taxonomy with isa relations between the concepts. We evaluate the quality of the taxonomy by comparing it with ResearchCyc, one of the largest manually created ontologies, and show that the Wikipedia derived taxonomy compares favorably with it. We also discuss experiments on using Wikipedia for computing the semantic similarity of words. The Wikipedia derived taxonomy performs as well as measures using WordNet, a commonly used lexical database in Natural Language Processing. We conclude with a view on current work which includes labeling additional relations such as part-of, location and temporal ones and creating a multilingual conceptual network.

Research into NLP involves concepts and methods from many fields including artificial intelligence, linguistics, computational linguistics, statistics, computer science, and most importantly cognitive science. The overall emphasis of the workshop is on the contribution of cognitive science to language processing, including conceptualisation, representation, discourse processing, meaning construction, ontology building, and text mining. The special theme of this year's NLPCS workshop is "Human-Machine Interaction in Translation". Therefore, we particularly welcome papers addressing aspects of human and machine translation and human-computer interaction in translation. Additional topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ? Cognitive and Psychological Models of NLP ? Computational Models of NLP ? Evolutionary NLP ? Situated (embodied) NLP ? Multimodality in speech / text processing ? Text Summarisation and Information Extraction ? Natural Language Interfaces and Dialogue Systems ? MultiLingual Processing ? Pragmatics and NLP ? Speech Processing ? Tools and Resources in NLP ? Human and Machine Translation ? Ontologies ? Text Mining ? Electronic Dictionaries ? Evaluation of NLP Systems These topics can be addressed from any of the following perspectives: full automation by machines for machine (traditional NLP or HLT), semi-automated processing, i.e. machine-mediated processing (programs assisting people in their tasks), simulation of human cognitive processes. With this year?s special theme we also welcome submissions on translators? experiences with CAT tools, human-machine interface design, methods for and evaluation of interactive machine translation, feasibility studies, user simulation, etc. Keynote Speaker at NLPCS: RMK Sinha, IIT Kanpur, India, Title: Man-Machine Integration in the Translation Process: An Indian Scenario The talk will cover the current MT research and translation industry status in the Indian subcontinent.

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).

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... Ce sont ces nouveaux probl?mes pos?s ? la reconnaissance d'entit?s nomm?es que nous souhaitons aborder au cours de cette journ?e. Voici, sans exhaustive ni limitations, les th?mes autour desquels nous sollicitons des communications : 1/ Aspects linguistiques et m?thodologiques : repr?sentations et d?finitions des entit?s nomm?s, ?valuation de leur reconnaissance, normalisations existantes, en cours ou ? venir. 2/ Nouveaux challenges autour des entit?s nomm?es : d?sambiguisation des entit?s nomm?es, suivi d'entit?s nomm?s (suites cor?f?rentielles), entit?s nomm?es et multi-modalit? (oral, ?crit...), aspects multilingues et/ou diachroniques, interactions entre entit?s nomm?es. 3/ Nouvelles approches pour la reconnaissance des entit?s nomm?es : utilisation de ressources encyclop?diques, fouille de donn?es, utilisation d'autres informations pour la reconnaissance (flux audio, th?mes, s?mantique). 4/ Nouvelles applications : travaux ayant un r?el ancrage applicatif, sur des t?ches nouvelles comme la d?tection de citation, les syst?mes de question/r?ponse, le suivi de tendances, etc... Soumission ---------------- Les auteurs sont invit?s ? soumettre un r?sum? de deux pages maximum (A4, Times 12), en fran?ais ou en anglais, ? transmettre au format pdf ? : Tln_REN2011 at univ-tours.fr .

Usually, a terminology is defined as a set of terms, which represents the system of concepts for an area and for an application. These terms remain linguistic entities and linguistic information may be associated with them. Term organization is usually not constrained by any formal logics or description, which may lead to problems like cyclicity and redundancy within a terminology. As for ontologies, they are built upon formal specification and constraints and describe also a system of concepts and associated properties for a specific area. They are intended to be used by computers and automatic applications. One may ask whether, in a specific situation, a terminology is sufficient, or whether an ontology is always required. In that respect, terminology and ontology are two complementary resources. However a weak definition of their similarities and differences may confuse the users. The objectives of this special issue is to address various issues related to differences and similarities between ontologies and terminologies, such as: - What are the differences and similarities between ontologies and terminologies? - How various (formal, structural and content) differences between terminologies and ontologies may impact their use, as well as the results provided by automatic systems? - Are terminologies suitable for populating ontologies and to which extent? - Are terminologies the first step when building ontologies? - How should the reuse of terminologies be operated? - What are the various kinds of semantic resources going from dictionaries and terminologies to ontologies, through taxonomies and classifications? - How to decide whether a terminology or an ontology should be exploited in a given situation? - How can multilingual terminologies contribute to the localization of ontologies? - Whether the same approaches may be used for the building of terminologies and ontologies? - Whether ontologies can be (re)used for improving the contents of a terminology and vice versa? - What are model representations and algorithms for the best reuse of terminologies for ontology building? - Are automated approaches suitable for this? This Special Issue of AO addresses these various questions, but is not limited to them. Authors defending various positions and points of view are encouraged to submit to this special issue.

"Speech analysis, synthesis and transformation in the Analysis/Synthesis team at IRCAM" Since about 7 years the interest of composers and musical assistants at IRCAM on speech synthesis and transformation techniques has constantly grown. As a result speech processing has become one of the central research objectives of the Analysis/Synthesis team at IRCAM. In the present introduction some of the key results of the research efforts will be presented, providing examples notably related to the estimation of the spectral envelope, the estimation of the LF glottal pulse model parameters, text to speech synthesis, shape invariant signal transformation in the phase vocoder, speaker transformation, voice conversion, transformation of emotional states. * - * - * 10:00am - 11:00am Jean-Fran?ois Bonastre, Laboratoire d'Informatique d'Avignon - Universit? d'Avignon. "Speaker Recognition: a New Binary Representation" Speaker recognition main approaches are based on statistical modeling of the acoustic space. This modeling relies usually on a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) denoted Universal Background Model (UBM), with a large number of components and trained using a large set of speech data gathered from hundreds of speakers. Each target model is derived from the UBM thanks to a MAP adaptation of the gaussian mean parameters only. An important evolution of the UBM/GMM paradigm was to consider the UBM as a definition of a new data representation space defined by the concatenation of the Gaussian mean parameters. This space, denoted "supervector" space, allowed to use Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers feed by the supervector. A second evolution step was crossed by the direct modelling of the session variability in the supervector space using the Joint Factor Analysis (JFA) approach. More recently, the Total Variability Space was introduced, as an evolution of JFA. It consists on a modelling of the total variability in the supervector space in order to build a smaller space which concentrates the information and where it is easier to model jointly session and speaker variability. Looking at this evolution, three remarks could be proposed. The evolution is always linked to large models with thousands of parameters. All the new approaches are quite unable to work at the frame per frame level and finally, these approaches rely on the general statistical paradigm where one information is evaluated as strong when it is present very often. This speech proposes an analysis of the consequences of these remarks and presents a new paradigm for speaker recognition, based on a discrete binary representation, which is able to overpass the previous approaches limitations. * - * - * 11:00am - 12:00am Nick Campbell, Centre for Language & Communications Studies - Trinity College, Dublin. "Talking with Robots" This talk describes a robot interface for gathering conversational data currently on exhibition in the Science Gallery of Trinity College Dublin. We use a small LEGO NXT Mindstorms device as a platform for a high definition webcam and microphones, in conjunction with a finite-state dialogue machine and recordings of several human utterances that are played back through a sound-warping device to sound as if the robot is speaking them. Visual processing using OpenCV forms the core of the device, interacting with the discourse model to engage passers-by in a brief conversation so that we can record the exchange in order to learn more about such discourse strategies for advanced human-computer interaction. * - * - * 12:00am - 1:00pm Simon King, Centre for Speech Technology Research - The University of Edinburgh. "Synthetic Speech: Beyond Mere Intelligibility" Some text-to-speech synthesisers are now as intelligible as human speech. This is a remarkable achievement, but the next big challenge is to approach human-like naturalness, which will be even harder. I will describe several lines of research which are attempting to imbue speech synthesisers with the properties they need to sound more "natural" - whatever that means. The starting point is personalised speech synthesis, which allows the synthesiser to sound like an individual person without requiring substantial amounts of their recorded speech. I will then describe how we can work from imperfect recordings or achieve personalised speech synthesis across languages, with a few diversions to consider what it means to sound like the same person in two different languages and how vocal attractiveness plays a role. Since the voice is not only our preferred means of communication but also a central part of our identity, losing it can be distressing. Current voice-output communication aids offer a very poor selection of voices, but recent research means that soon it will be possible to provide people who are losing the ability to speak, perhaps due to conditions such as Motor Neurone Disease, with personalised communication aids that sound just like they used to, even if we do not have a recording of their original voice. There will be plenty of examples, including synthetic child speech, personalised synthesis across the language barrier, and the reconstruction of voices from recordings of disordered speech. This work was done with Junichi Yamagishi, Sandra Andraszewicz, Oliver Watts, Mirjam Wester and many others. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Fri May 6 14:13:12 2011 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Fri, 6 May 2011 16:13:12 +0200 Subject: Info: Actes du colloque de Belgrade, expression de l'espace et du temps en francais Message-ID: Date: Thu, 5 May 2011 17:23:43 +0200 From: Dejan Stosic Message-Id: <1CF108E8-5302-4C5B-A42D-32D7BEFBB503 at gmail.com> X-url: http://www.univ-artois.fr/recherche/unites-de-recherche/grammatica/colloques/colloque-de-belgrade Chers coll?gues, Nous avons le plaisir de vous annoncer la mise en ligne des supports de pr?sentations du colloque de Belgrade (23-26 mars 2011) sur le th?me: "L'expression de l'espace et du temps en fran?ais: quelles formes pour quels sens?".

A paper accepted for presentation at EACL 2012 cannot be presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences or workshops must indicate this on the submission page. If the paper is accepted by both EACL 2012 and another meeting or publication, it must be withdrawn from one of them. Furthermore, its authors must notify the program chairs, within a week of receiving the EACL 2012 acceptance notification, whether or not they have chosen EACL 2012 for presentation of their work. Review and Selection -------------------- Reviewing of papers will be double-blind, and all submissions will receive three independent reviews. Final decisions on the program will be made by the Program Committee, consisting of the Program Co-Chairs and Area Chairs. Submissions will be assessed with respect to appropriateness, clarity, soundness/correctness, meaningful comparison, originality/innovativeness, and impact of ideas or results. Publication and Presentation ---------------------------- All papers that are accepted will be published in the proceedings of the conference, and will be presented orally or as a poster presentation as determined by the program committee. The decisions as to which papers will be presented orally and which as poster presentations will be based on the nature rather than on the quality of the work. Authors will be also asked on submission to state their preferred mode of presentation. EACL 2012 will continue aiming to give poster presentations a high status. There will be no distinction in the conference proceedings between papers that are assigned different presentation modes. Submission Information ---------------------- All submissions must be submitted electronically as PDF and must follow the two-column format of EACL proceedings. Authors are strongly recommended to use the style files available on the conference web site. Papers may consist of up to nine (9) pages of content and any number of additional pages containing references only. EACL 2012 will also accept papers accompanied by the resource(s) (software or data) described in the paper. In addition to the regular review of the research quality of the paper, these papers will also be reviewed for the quality of the resource that is being made available. Acceptance or rejection decision will be made based on the quality of both the research and the software/data component. As reviewing will be double-blind, the paper should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Authors should not use anonymous citations and should not include any acknowledgments. Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. The deadline for submission is 11:59pm Samoa Time (UTC/GMT -11 hours) on November 4, 2011. Additional instructions for electronic submission will be posted on the conference website at http://eacl2012.org Mentoring service ----------------- EACL is providing a mentoring (coaching) service for authors from regions of the world where English is less emphasized as a language of scientific exchange. Many authors from these regions, although able to read the scientific literature in English, have little or no experience in writing papers in English for conferences such as the E/ACL meetings. If you would like to take advantage of the service, please upload your paper in PDF format by September 23, 2011 using the paper submission software for the mentoring service which will be available at the conference website.

Submission deadline: June 1, 2011 Invited Speakers - Oliver Lemon, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK - Johanna Moore, University of Edinburgh, UK - Jeff Orkin, MIT Labs, USA The ENLG 2011 workshop continues a biennial series of workshops on natural language generation that has been running since 1987, providing a regular forum for presentation of research in this area. ENLG 2011 invites substantial, original, and unpublished submissions on all topics related to natural language generation. This includes research on core NLG issues as well as research in any area of NLP that produces language output, such as dialog systems, summarization, MT, etc. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Generation of affect and emotion - Personalization and personality of text - Content and text planning - Lexicalisation - Referring expression generation - Surface realization - Generation for dialog systems - Generation for embodied agents and robots - Evaluation of NLG systems - Text-to-text generation - Generation for summarization - Multimedia or multimodal generation - Story-telling and narrative generation - NLG for real-world applications e.g., Computer Assisted Language Learning, Authoring tools - Psycholinguistics and NLG - NLG in linguistically motivated frameworks - Statistical processing for NLG - Use of ontologies in NLG - Generating controlled languages ENLG 2011 will also include a special session on the Generation Challenges 2011. Generation Challenges is an umbrella event designed to bring together different shared-task evaluation efforts that involve the generation of natural language. In 2011 four shared-tasks on surface realisation, generating instructions in virtual environments, question generation, and the improvement of academic papers are being organized. Some of them will be presented at ENLG 2011. See the Generation Challenges website at http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/research/genchal11 for more information on how to participate in a shared task or propose a new shared task. Requirements: Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications must provide this information at submission time. If ENLG 2011 accepts a paper, authors must notify the program chairs, indicating which meeting they choose for presentation of their work. ENLG 2011 cannot accept for publication or presentation work that will be (or has been) published elsewhere. Submission categories: ENLG invites the submission of long and short papers: - Long papers are most appropriate for presenting substantial research results and must not exceed eight (8) pages, excluding references (accepted long papers will be presented orally); - Short papers are more appropriate for presenting an ongoing research effort, a demo or a system and must not exceed four (4) pages, excluding references (these will be presented as posters and/or demos during the poster session). Paper Submission: Submissions should be uploaded to the ENLG 2011 submission site, which will be made available. Submissions must conform to the official ACL-HLT 2011 style guidelines (see http://www.acl2011.org/call.shtml#submission), which are contained in the style files, and they must be electronic in PDF. Reviewing will be blind, so you should avoid identifying the authors within the paper. Please note that different guidelines and procedures apply to papers for the shared tasks. Please refer to the organizers of the different challenges.

These circumstances range from reminiscing about a shared experience, such as a birthday party, to coordinating fire-fighting efforts amongst a team using joint beliefs about mutual capabilities. This mutual understanding of perceived context is termed "common ground," and is made up of all of the background and shared information that will lead to the eventual success of the communication. Some measure of common ground is used in most, if not all, successful interactions between human actors. For humans to have a convincing and beneficial experience interacting with intelligent agents, the agents must have mechanisms that support the fundamentals of common ground. Otherwise, the consequence may be unsuccessful and incomplete interactions. This symposium aims to bring together researchers from robotics, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, computational linguistics, and cognitive modeling to share their diverse perspectives on common ground and its component factors. This investigation of how existing work explicitly or implicitly uses aspects of common ground will bring us closer to a practical approach for a complete common ground in intelligent, computational agents. Work to be presented may consist of currently implemented applications that contain common ground components, theoretical formalisms of these components, proposed frameworks, and work in progress. Topics of Interest include: =========================== Components of common ground include, but are not limited to, the following: * Background knowledge * World knowledge * Presuppositions * Mutual knowledge * Mutual beliefs * Beliefs about beliefs * Conversational maxims * Shared experiences Examples of how these components may have been incorporated into current work include the following: * Building of shared histories between actors * Representations of beliefs or beliefs about beliefs * Identifying and representing suppositions and presuppositions * Reasoning about other actors' beliefs * Creating untruthful or deceptive common ground * Formalizations of any common ground component * Agents or models which use common ground components in interaction * Discourse or dialogue models which use some aspect of common ground * Extraction of perlocutionary actions or effects from utterances * Inferring common ground * Using common ground to ground referents Submission Information ====================== Papers submitted to our symposium need to follow AAAI's formatting requirements and be 6-8 pages in length.

Broad categories of work that have been well-studied in the past are included, specifically text mining and reasoning, but submissions are restricted to applications of that work to the constrained area of pharmacogenomics, and particularly genotype-phenotype-drug relationships. For example, topics that are solicited include: - Relation extraction between genotypes, phenotypes, and drugs, and other semantic classes relevant to pharmacogenomics - Corpus development for pharmacogenomics text mining - Work on the corpus of documents linked to by PharmGKB - Reasoning systems applied over the PharmGKB knowledge base Work on gene taggers would not be considered for inclusion. However, work on named entity taggers for other relevant semantic classes, such as drugs and phenotypes, would be considered responsive to the call for papers. This is a full session, not a workshop, and all accepted papers will be published in the PSB proceedings and indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE. PSB has long been considered a high-prestige conference for publication of BioNLP papers, and some of the papers from PSB NLP sessions have gone on to be quite influential, such as Fukuda et al. (1998) on gene mentions and Schwartz and Hearst (2003) on abbreviation definitions. IMPORTANT DATES - Paper submissions due: July 18, 2011, midnight Pacific (note that this is a one-week extension past the normal PSB deadline) - Notification of paper acceptance: September 9, 2011 - Final paper deadline: September 23, 2011, midnight PT - Meeting: January 3-7, 2012 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Please see http://compbio.ucdenver.edu/PSB2012/submission.shtml.

Paris Sorbonne) et Jean-Luc Minel (PR ? Universit? Paris Ouest Nanterre La D?fense) Id?alement, le/la candidat(e) conjuguera des comp?tences en linguistique textuelle (analyse des marqueurs temporels de coh?sion/incoh?sion textuelle) et en traitement automatique des langues dans sa composante s?mantique (?laboration de sch?mas d'annotation). Le/la candidat(e) recrut?(e) sera impliqu?(e) dans les 6 taches qui composent le projet, qui vont de l'analyse proprement linguistique ? la participation ? des campagnes d'?valuation d'applications finalis?es. Il/elle devra contribuer ? une avanc?e notable dans la mod?lisation des ph?nom?nes de prise en charge ?nonciative et modale dans leur interaction avec les ph?nom?nes de datation calendaire et d'ordonnancement temporel. - Contexte de la recherche : les ? timelines ? Le traitement automatique de l'information temporelle exprim?e dans les textes s'impose depuis quelques ann?es comme un champ de recherche important auquel on associe des retomb?es dans le domaine de la recherche d'information (pour une pr?sentation de ce domaine, on pourra se reporter ? (Battistelli, 11)). Parmi les applications vis?es : les syst?mes de questions/r?ponses, les syst?mes de r?sum? automatique, les moteurs de recherche sur le web et, int?gr?s ou non ? ces derniers, les syst?mes visant ? proposer en sortie une visualisation des informations sur une ligne du temps. Dans ce dernier cas, on parle aussi d'interfaces interactives sous la forme de ? frises chronologiques ? (ou timelines, voir par exemple l'article http://owni.fr/2011/04/12/internet-civilise-la-timeline/). R?alis?es essentiellement ? la main, ces types de repr?sentations organis?es sur une ligne du temps calendaire des ?v?nements semblent correspondre ? de r?els besoins, ?manant tant des internautes cherchant ? structurer leur espace de recherche que de communaut?s d'utilisateurs sp?cifiques comme par exemple les journalistes de l'?v?nementiel. Quand cette d?marche est assist?e par des outils de traitement automatique, cela revient principalement ? rep?rer la date de parution de tel ou tel document consid?r? comme traitant a priori d'un seul ?v?nement. Le projet ChronoLines (http://www.chronolines.fr/) se situe dans ce dernier champ d'applications. Il se donne comme principal objectif que de coupler des techniques d'analyse temporelle automatique des textes avec des techniques de visualisation de l'information. La m?thodologie propos?e repose sur l'analyse et la sp?cification d'un besoin de l'un des partenaires, l'AFP, qui diffuse dans ses services de nombreuses ? Chronologies Ev?nementielles ? (CE) sur toute sorte d'?v?nements ? m?diatiques ?. Ces CE sont actuellement r?alis?es ? la main et sont purement textuelles. Elles sont inadapt?es ? l'usage multim?dia, internet et mobile qui est devenu la r?gle. Les vis?es du projet ChronoLines s'articulent selon deux axes : (i) construire ces CE ? partir d'un rep?rage semi-automatis? d'?v?nements et d'expressions temporelles datatives dans des textes de type ?d?p?ches' (en fran?ais et en anglais) ; (ii) d?velopper des outils permettant ? un utilisateur de visualiser et de naviguer ? l'int?rieur de ces CE en utilisant des technologies de visualisation multim?dias. Les repr?sentations visuelles ne s'appuieront pas exclusivement sur un axe temporel unique correspondant au domaine des ?v?nements d?j? r?alis?s et av?r?s, mais permettront ?galement de visualiser des ?v?nements incertains, possibles ou encore seulement pris en charge par un ?nonciateur dont l'auteur de la d?p?che cite les propos sans forc?ment y adh?rer. Par ailleurs, elles incluront la possibilit? de visualiser l'information ? diff?rents niveaux de granularit? calendaire. - Sujet de la th?se : Th?me : Dans le contexte d?crit supra, la th?se concernera l'analyse et la mod?lisation des caract?ristiques modales et ?nonciatives des ?v?nements. Il s'agira de proposer une m?thodologie d'analyse op?ratoire pour la prise en compte de deux ph?nom?nes de rupture d'ordre temporel rencontr?s dans les textes (le plus souvent combin?s entre eux, ce qui rend leur analyse d'autant plus complexe) : l'un est li? ? l'organisation du discours du point de vue des sources ?nonciatives (l'?nonciateur principal, le plus souvent implicite, et diff?rents co-?nonciateurs) ; l'autre est li? ? l'organisation du discours du point de vue des caract?ristiques modales des contenus propositionnels (des contenus attest?s aux contenus ni?s selon un continuum). Dans la litt?rature sur le sujet, tant linguistique que TAL, l'analyse de ces deux ph?nom?nes fait l'objet de nombreux d?bats ; on note en particulier que ces ph?nom?nes ne sont pas toujours associ?s ? du moins directement - ? l'analyse de la temporalit? en tant que telle. Notre point de vue quant ? l'analyse de ceux-ci consiste ? non seulement les consid?rer comme tels mais aussi ? en proposer une strat?gie d'exploration op?ratoire, c'est-?-dire pouvant conduire ? des modes d'analyses automatisables. La conduite de cette strat?gie op?ratoire repose d'une part sur le fait de travailler sur des textes d'un type circonscrit (des d?p?ches) et d'autre part sur le fait de s'int?resser en premier lieu ? l'articulation de ces deux ph?nom?nes avec celui de la datation (Battistelli et al., 06, 11 ; Hag?ge et Tannier, 08), au niveau de la phrase d'abord, ? un niveau d'analyse plus large que la phrase ensuite. Objectifs et m?thodologie : Il s'agira tout d'abord de dresser une typologie pr?cise des m?canismes de rupture des coordonn?es ?nonciatives et modales li?s aux contraintes d'ordre syntaxique (analyse des subordonn?es en particulier), ? l'instar des conceptions propos?es respectivement par (Wilson et Wiebe, 03) et (Bethard et al., 04)) d'une part, et (Sauri et Pustejovsky, 07) d'autre part. Il s'agira de s'int?resser plus particuli?rement ? la cat?gorisation de ces m?canismes vis-?-vis de la s?mantique des marqueurs lexicaux (s?mantique verbale ou nominale) ou grammaticaux (temps ou modes verbaux) utilis?s et de la position des adverbiaux temporels dans la phrase (X dit que A eu lieu en T1, X pense que A eu lieu en T1, X aurait dit que A eu lieu en T1, X dit que A peut ?tre eu lieu en T1, etc.). D?marche absente des approches de type TAL, et plut?t abord?e dans des approches du courant de la linguistique textuelle, il s'agira de s'int?resser ensuite ? l'identification de ruptures de coordonn?es ?nonciatives et/ou modales qui renvoie cette fois ? la d?limitation de segments textuels plus larges que les phrases. Ce niveau d'analyse n?cessite l'?tude de marqueurs dits de coh?sion et d'incoh?sion temporelle, ces derniers signalant pr?cis?ment des ruptures. Ils peuvent ?tre soit de simples marqueurs typographiques tels que les guillemets, suivis ou non de deux points, soit des ensembles de marqueurs, soit encore des temps ou des modes verbaux (c'est ainsi le cas quand ? une suite de temps du pass? succ?de une suite de pr?sents), soit encore des unit?s adverbiales de temps (le plus souvent en position initiale de phrases). L'identification de ces ruptures conduit ? consid?rer que, tout en ?tant ?ventuellement pris en charge par le m?me ?nonciateur, des segments textuels ne s'inscrivent plus dans la continuit? r?f?rentielle des situations d?crites pr?c?demment dans le texte. Il s'agira alors de proposer une typologie de ces ? ruptures discursives ? au travers de l'?tude des marques d'incoh?sion cit?es plus haut. En vue de pr?ciser les ?l?ments de cette typologie des ph?nom?nes ?nonciatifs et modaux, on pourra s'appuyer plus particuli?rement sur les conceptions linguistiques de (Authier-Revuz 95) ou (Rosier 99) ; en ce qui concerne l'analyse des marqueurs de coh?sion et d'incoh?sion, on pourra exploiter en particulier les travaux et modes d'analyse situ?s dans la lign?e de (Smith 01), (Le Draoulec et P?ry-Woodley 03) ou (Ho-Dac 07). Ce travail conduira ? proposer un sch?ma d'annotation de segments textuels (des niveaux de la proposition et de la phrase ou d'un niveau sup?rieur ? ces derniers) selon leurs caract?ristiques modales et/ou ?nonciatives et produira un ensemble de ressources lexicales qui seront int?gr?es aux outils de traitement automatique. - Profil du candidat: Le candidat devra ?tre titulaire d'un Master en traitement automatique des langues ou en linguistique. Dans ce dernier cas, il devra avoir des connaissances solides dans le domaine de la s?mantique. - 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 traitement automatique des langues et/ou en linguistique * comp?tences de base en informatique et plus sp?cifiquement maitrise des langages de type perl et python * connaissance de l'anglais - Comment candidater ?

[1] Track Description Human languages are complex by nature and efforts in pure symbolic approaches alone have been unable to provide fully satisfying results. Text Mining and Machine Learning techniques applied to texts, raw or annotated, brought up new insights and completely shifted the approaches to Human Language Technologies. Both approaches, symbolic and statistically based, when duly integrated, have shown capabilities to bridge the gap between language theories and effective use of languages, and can enable important applications in real-world heterogeneous environment such as the Web. The 4th Track on Text Mining and Applications (TeMA 2011) is a forum for researchers working in Human Language Technologies i.e. Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computational Linguistics (CL), Natural Language Engineering (NLE), Text Mining (TM) and related areas. Authors are invited to submit their papers on any of the issues identified below. Papers will be blindly reviewed by three members of the Programme Committee. Best papers will be published at Springer, in LNCS series. If there are additional papers whose quality is sufficiently high for deserving to be presented at TeMA 2011, those other accepted papers will be published in a conference proceedings book. Papers should not exceed fifteen (15) pages in length and must be formatted according to the information for LNCS authors. [2] Topics of Interest Topics include but are not limited to: Text Mining - Language Models - Multi-word Units - Lexical Knowledge Acquisition - Word and Multi-word Sense Disambiguation. - Semantic Restrictions Extraction and Semantic Role Labeling - Sentiment Analysis - Acquisition and Usage of Ontologies - Pattern Extraction Methodologies - Topic Segmentation - Extraction of Translation Equivalents - Word and Multi-word Translation Extraction - Text Entailment - Document Clustering and Classification - Algorithms and Data Structures for Text Mining - Information Extraction Applications: - Natural Language Processing - Machine Translation - Automatic Summarization - Intelligent Information Retrieval - Multilingual access to multilingual information - Question-Answering Systems - E-training and E-learning - Semantic Search - Web Mining [3] Important dates May 17, 2011: Paper submission deadline (extended) June 10, 2011: Notification of paper acceptance July 1, 2011: Deadline for final versions October 10-13, 2011: Conference dates [4] Paper submission Submissions must be full technical papers on substantial, original, and previously unpublished research. Papers must be submitted in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) format and will not be accepted in any other format. Papers that exceed 15 pages or do not follow the LNCS guidelines risk being rejected automatically without a review. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference.

Le moteur permet de croiser des requ?tes calendaires et des requ?tes th?matiques (ex : "peinture au XVe si?cle", "d?colonisation dans les ann?es 50 et 60"), mais il permet aussi d'observer dans le temps les diff?rentes mentions des termes d'une recherche uniquement th?matique (ex "universit?"). Les r?sultats sont pr?sent?s sous deux formes : - des phrases ordonn?es par pertinence et regroup?es par textes sources - des r?f?rences positionn?es sur une frise chronologies (timeline) Le moteur peut ?tre test? en fran?ais (corpus Wikip?dia "Histoire de France") ou en anglais (corpus Wikipedia "History of the United States"). Il est disponible ? l'adresse suivante : - version fran?aise : http://client1.mondeca.com/TemporalQueryModule/ - version anglaise : http://client1.mondeca.com/TemporalQueryModule/?locale=en Une description plus fournie est disponible : http://client1.mondeca.com/TemporalQueryModule/TemporalQueryModuleDescriptionFR.html Ces travaux de recherche sont men?s dans le cadre d'un atelier "temporalit?" au sein du laboratoire MoDyCo auquel participent Delphine Battistelli, Marcel Cori, Jean-Luc Minel et Charles Teiss?dre.

It is an international conference focusing on stringology and related areas. It is organized annually by the Prague Stringology Club, a research group in the Department of Theoretical Computer Science at the Faculty of Information Technology of Czech Technical University in Prague. The proceedings of recent conferences are indexed in DBLP. TOPICS: Stringology is a part of algorithmic research that deals with the processing of text strings. It has existed for at least thirty years and developed into a respected subfield of its own. The last twenty years have produced an explosion of new results. This progress is due in part to the human genome effort, an area to which string algorithms make important contributions. String processing extends into tree processing that is called Arbology. The topics of the conference include but are not limited to: * algorithms for pattern matching in strings, images and trees * data structures (automata, trees etc.) for pattern matching in strings, images and trees * coding and data compression * bioinformatics * information retrieval * string processing algorithms in databases * searching for regularities * natural language processing INVITED TALK: * To be announced SUBMISSION: Authors are cordially invited to submit their full papers (PDF format, 10-15 pages, A4 page format) by May 16, 2011. The paper should start with the title, each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, and a one-paragraph summary of the results and ideas. The paper should be submitted via submission server (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=psc2011). For their final version the papers are required to be prepared using our new LaTeX style available at http://www.stringology.org/pscproc2 which has an interface compatible to LNCS style. IMPORTANT DATES: * Submission of Papers: May 16, 2011 (extended deadline) * Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2011 * Registration: July 10, 2011 * Final Version Due: July 10, 2011 PROGRAM COMMITTEE: * A.

Zdarek, Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic HISTORY: PSC'11 was preceded by Prague Stringology Workshops in 1996-2000 and by Prague Stringology Conferences in 2001-2006, 2008-2010. Each year proceedings are prepared for the conference. They are published by Czech Technical University in Prague and are also available from the PSC web pages. Selected papers from the later workshops were also published in a special issue of the journal Kybernetika. Selected papers from the 2002-2006, 2008 conferences were then published in the Nordic Journal of Computing, Journal of Automata, Languages, and Combinatorics, and International Journal of Foundations in Computer Science. LOCATION & PUBLICATION: PSC'11 will be held at the Department of Theoretical Computer Science the Czech Technical University in Prague on August 29-31, 2011. (The precise location will be announced later.) The working language is English. As usual, accepted papers will appear in conference proceedings published by the Czech Technical University in Prague and distributed at the conference. After further refereeing, selected papers will then be published in an international journal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We apologize if you have received multiple copies of this announcement.

The development of Web 2.0 has led to the proliferation of tools for internet users to interact directly on the Web content through, annotations, reviews, comments, opinions.... The content of Web pages is no longer a static text or a fixed image, but also a user-generated data (blogs, twitter?). This fact has led to the emergence of new problems related to the analysis, mining, searching and visualizing information. The objective of this special issue is to provide a framework for researchers from both communities to exchange views and experiences on Information mining and retrieval issues (web page, annotations, blogs, queries). Papers describing theoretical aspects, prototype systems, tools and techniques and applications, as well as future directions are welcome. Topics may include, but are not limited to the following list: - Information mining and retrieval on the web - Queries Analysis and Mining on the Web - Search and Mining in blogs - Opinion Detection on the Web - Folksonomy (annotation/social indexing) - Social information mining and retrieval - Temporal information retrieval, mining and extraction Submission details ----------------------- Manuscripts should be written in English and prepared for publication in accordance with the following instructions: http://www.journal-i3.org/. The length of the paper is limited to 30 pages. Submissions should be sent in pdf format to Rim.Faiz at ihec.rnu.tn. Papers will be evaluated based on their originality, presentation as well as relevance and contribution to the field of Information mining and retrieval on the web. All papers will be rigorously refereed by 3 peer reviewers. Submission of a manuscript to this special issue implies that no similar paper is already accepted or will be submitted to any other conference or journal.

Over the years, though, each problem or class of problems has required a different ontology, and sometimes a different version of logic. Moreover, the processes of designing, controlling and maintaining an ontology as well as its different versions have turned out to be inherently complex. All this has motivated much investigation in a wide range of disparate disciplines -- from logic-based Knowledge Representation and Reasoning to Software Engineering, from Databases to Multimedia -- about how to relate ontologies to one another. ARCOE-11 aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from core areas of Artificial Intelligence (Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Contexts, and Ontologies) and related disciplines to discuss these kinds of problems and relevant results. Historically, there have been at least three different, yet interdependent motivations behind this type of research: defining the relationship between an ontology and its context; providing support to ontology engineers; enhancing problem solving and communication for software agents. Ontology and Context. Most application areas have recognised the need for representing and reasoning about knowledge that is distributed over many resources. Such knowledge, as well as its intrinsic relevance and usability, depends on its context. The latter is determined by the syntactic and/or semantic structure of the resources, the scope of the underlying language, among other things. Research on information integration, distributed knowledge management, the semantic web, multi-agent and distributed reasoning have pinned down different aspects of how ontologies relate to and/or develop within their context. Ontology Engineering. Ontology engineers are not supposed to succeed right from the beginning when (individually or collaboratively) developing and maintaining an ontology. Despite their expertise and any assistance from domain experts, revision cycles are the rule. Moreover quite often different ontologies have to be integrated in such a way for them to be operable together (merging). Research on the automation of the process of engineering an ontology has improved efficiency and reduced the introduction of unintended meanings by means of interactive ontology editors that provide support for ontology change (debugging, updates and repair), maintenance (versioning) and integration (merging). Moreover, ontology matching has studied the process of manual, off-line alignment of two or more known ontologies. Problem Solving and Communication for Agents. Agents that communicate with one another without having full access to their respective ontologies or that are programmed to face new non-classifiable situations must change their own ontology dynamically at run-time -- they cannot rely solely on human intervention. Research on this problem has either concentrated on techniques borrowed from the non-monotonic reasoning and belief revision communities or on changes of signature, i.e., of the grammar of the ontology's language, with a minimal disruption to the original theory. This is also an important issue in the emerging area of General Game Playing. ARCOE-11 will provide a multi-disciplinary forum, where differences in methodologies, representation languages and techniques are over-arched and hopefully overcome. Accordingly, the workshop will be structured into four tracks: three of them will focus on specific areas, the fourth one will foster links and integration. Track 1: Context and Ontology This track will consist of presentations and discussions around the theme of Context and Ontology, a well-established research area that has mainly concentrated on the relationship between contexts and ontologies for distributed information and for the enhancement of software agents. Track 2: Common Sense and Non-Monotonic Reasoning for Ontologies This track will consist of presentations and discussions around the theme of Common Sense and Non-Monotonic Reasoning in logic-based Knowledge Representation and Reasoning for ontologies. These are classic areas of AI, which since their origins have produced remarkable results on logic-based methods for supporting knowledge engineers and for enhancing software agents. Track 3: Automated Ontology Evolution This track will consist of presentations and discussions around the theme of Automated Ontology Evolution for agents and general problem solving, an area which in recent years has been drawing the attention of Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Representation and Reasoning on the assessment of change impact and the automation of ontology evolution. Track 4: Links and integration This track will foster links and integration by means of invited talks and (panel) discussions. Topics that are likely to be covered are: the formalisation of software engineering concepts for ontology development; the relationship between automated reasoning and information retrieval; relationships between representation languages; relationships between canonical domains; relationships between contexts and ontology evolution and between non-monotonic reasoning and ontology evolution. ARCOE-11 will bring the participants to position the various approaches with respect to one another. Hopefully, though, the workshop will also start a process of cross-pollination and set out the constitution of a truly interdisciplinary research community dedicated to automated reasoning about contexts and ontology evolution. -- Attendance and Important Dates -- Please check the IJCAI-11 website for registration procedure, fees as well as cancellation policies. Early registration: 17 May 2011 Late registration: Please check the IJCAI-11 website Workshop date: 18 July 2011 N.B.: When registering for the workshop at the IJCAI-11 website, please make sure you select a 1-day workshop. -- Special Issue on ARCOE-related Themes -- There has recently been an agreement with the Journal of Web Semantics for a Special Issue on Reasoning with context in the Semantic Web. The Call for Papers is open to anyone and it certainly is an opportunity to submit for publication quality work about ARCOE-like themes. The special issue aims at bringing together work on reasoning with context in the Semantic Web as seen from various perspectives, e.g., ontology integration, ontology development, ontology evolution etc. Submitted articles, which may describe either theoretical results or applications, must clearly pertain to the Semantic Web and/or to semantic technologies. They should present either Semantic Web specific approaches to reasoning with context, or approaches that have characteristics that are interesting for the Semantic Web (e.g., scalability, bounded reasoning), or approaches that are of value to a larger community containing a non-trivial Semantic Web sub-community (e.g. revision/update techniques and error pin-pointing).

Plusieurs ?tudes montrent un fait remarquable qui est que tous ces r?seaux, pourtant d'origines si diverses, poss?dent des propri?t?s identiques bien particuli?res et font partie de la classe des R?seaux Petits Mondes Hi?rarchiques (RPMH). Un autre fait tout aussi remarquable est que cette classe des RPMH est tr?s petite au regard de l'ensemble des r?seaux possibles : la probabilit? de tirer au hasard parmi l'ensemble des r?seaux possibles un RPMH est tr?s proche de z?ro. C'est-?-dire que les r?seaux auxquels nous avons ? faire dans la vraie vie se ressemblent tous par leurs structures communes, bien qu'intrins?quement cette structure soit tr?s rare du point de vue de la th?orie de la mesure. L'?tude des RPMH mobilisent un grand nombre de chercheurs dans le monde, en effet l'?tude et la mod?lisation des RPMH restent un champ de recherche ouvert et tr?s prometteur pour une meilleure compr?hension des ph?nom?nes sous-jacents et pour une meilleure exploitation des donn?es dans de nombreux domaines. Dans cet expos? je commencerais par pr?senter les quatre propri?t?s fondamentales omnipr?sentes dans les r?seaux lexicaux. Je pr?senterais ensuite la dynamique des trajets d'un marcheur qui se d?place al?atoirement sur les sommets d'un r?seau lexical ? travers les relations lexicales. Nous verrons que l'?tude de ces dynamiques permet de d?finir des outils de m?trologie lexicale. je pr?senterais ensuite cinq applications de ces m?trologies : 1) R2SW : Une mod?lisation r?aliste des RPMH qui permet g?n?rer artificiellement ? partir de r?seaux al?atoires, des r?seaux poss?dant les m?mes propri?t?s que les r?seaux lexicaux [1] 2) WISIGOTH : une m?thode d'enrichissement endog?ne des r?seaux lexicaux [2] 3) SLAM : un mod?le de Solution Lexicale Automatique de M?taphores analogique [3] http://erss.irit.fr/demetweb/Metaphors/slam.php 4) APPROX : Une mod?lisation de la dynamique d'acquisition du lexique par les jeunes enfants [4], [5] 5) KODEX : Une m?thode de categoristaion thematique des resultats d'un moteur de recherche [6] R?f?rences: [1] Gaume B, Mathieu F, Navarro E (2010) Building Real-World Complex Networks by Wandering on Random Graphs.

This workshop aims to bring together practitioners from academia, industry and government for interaction and discussion. The workshop will feature: * A panel discussion representing industrial and governmental input, entitled "Big Society meets Big Data: Industry and Government Applications of Mapping Meaning". Panel members will include: * Peter Mika (Yahoo!) * Representative of Google * Tom McCutcheon (Dstl) * Representative of ONR Global * An invited talk from Fausto Giunchglia, discussing the relationship between social computing and ontology matching; * Paper and poster presentations; * Workshop sponsored by: Yahoo! Research, W3C and others Workshop Description The problem of semantic alignment - that of two systems failing to understand one another when their representations are not identical - occurs in a huge variety of areas: Linked Data, database integration, e-science, multi-agent systems, information retrieval over structured data; anywhere, in fact, where semantics or a shared structure are necessary but centralised control over the schema of the data sources is undesirable or impractical. Yet this is increasingly a critical problem in the world of large scale data, particularly as more and more of this kind of data is available over the Web. In order to interact successfully in an open and heterogeneous environment, being able to dynamically and adaptively integrate large and heterogeneous data from the Web "on the go" is necessary. This may not be a precise process but a matter of finding a good enough integration to allow interaction to proceed successfully, even if a complete solution is impossible. Considerable success has already been achieved in the field of ontology matching and merging, but the application of these techniques - often developed for static environments - to the dynamic integration of large-scale data has not been well studied. Presenting the results of such dynamic integration to both end-users and database administrators - while providing quality assurance and provenance - is not yet a feature of many deployed systems. To make matters more difficult, on the Web there are massive amounts of information available online that could be integrated, but this information is often chaotically organised, stored in a wide variety of data-formats, and difficult to interpret. This area has been of interest in academia for some time, and is becoming increasingly important in industry and - thanks to open data efforts and other initiatives - to government as well. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners from academia, industry and government who are involved in all aspects of this field: from those developing, curating and using Linked Data, to those focusing on matching and merging techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Integration of large and heterogeneous data * Machine-learning over structured data * Ontology evolution and dynamics * Ontology matching and alignment * Presentation of dynamically integrated data * Incentives and human computation over structured data and ontologies * Ranking and search over structured and semi-structured data * Quality assurance and data-cleansing * Vocabulary management in Linked Data * Schema and ontology versioning and provenance * Background knowledge in matching * Extensions to knowledge representation languages to better support change * Inconsistency and missing values in databases and ontologies * Dynamic knowledge construction and exploitation * Matching for dynamic applications (e.g., p2p, agents, streaming) * Case studies, software tools, use cases, applications * Open problems * Foundational issues Applications and evaluations on data-sources that are from the Web and Linked Data are particularly encouraged.

The project will be conducted in collaboration with Symantec Ireland and will be focused on confidence estimation for Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). The aims of the project will be to explore the selection and extraction of features for estimating specific aspects of translation quality such as document comprehensibility, and to investigate whether system combination can benefit from these confidence scores by highlighting strengths and weaknesses in individual systems. The candidate will work with multiple MT systems and with a variety of datasets including noisy user-generated content. The project will involve some system integration, as well as preparation and fine-tuning for evaluation (using both automatic metrics and user studies). The successful postdoctoral fellow will have a capacity for independent research and will enjoy working in a collaborative research environment. The fellow will work closely with a PhD student on a related project investigating the use of NLP resources in SMT, and will be required to work both in DCU and in the Symantec campus in Dublin. The successful candidate will have been awarded their PhD by the start of the fellowship and will have spent no longer than 36 months of their post-PhD career in another postdoctoral position. Their PhD topic should be in the area of computational linguistics and natural language processing, and a strong preference will be given to those candidates with machine translation experience. The position will be supported by IRCSET (http://www.ircset.ie). To apply, please send a CV and the names of two referees to Johann Roturier (johann_roturier at symantec.com) and Jennifer Foster (jfoster at computing.dcu.ie) by * Monday 23rd May*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From support at OXSTONES.COM Fri May 20 19:43:54 2011 From: support at OXSTONES.COM (Oxstone Capital Management) Date: Fri, 20 May 2011 15:43:54 -0400 Subject: Oxstones Investment Club =?utf-8?Q?=E2=80=93_?=Free Alternative Investment Exchange Message-ID: Join Us at WWW.OXSTONES.COM to sign up for FREE Daily Email on our Best Investment Ideas and Global Investment Content.

Pour les Latins, le terme de Traductio d?signait une figure de rh?torique. On mesure ainsi la pertinence d'une rencontre portant sur les liens entre traduction et rh?torique. Aujourd'hui, la rh?torique, tout comme la traduction, rapproche des champs disciplinaires vari?s : linguistique, litt?rature, anthropologie culturelle, philosophie du langage, etc. Les diff?rents axes de travail suivants pourront ?tre explor?s : 1. La traduction et la nature de la rh?torique La rh?torique peut-elle ?tre encore aujourd'hui con?ue comme un ajout, un suppl?ment d'?me et de pr?sentation, voire m?me un masque (plut?t qu'un visage) ? Autrement dit, la rh?torique cessant progressivement de se confondre comme dans l'Antiquit? gr?co-romaine avec l'art de dire, mais aussi de penser, peut-elle ?tre confondue avec un ensemble de proc?d?s, qui sans ?tre strictement ornementaux, l'engage n?anmoins dans le sens d'une esth?tique seconde, comme c'est le cas chez un Fontanier par exemple ? Le traducteur doit-il alors consid?rer qu'un ? contenu ? invariant est ainsi maquill? ? Par voie de cons?quence, la rh?torique peut-elle se confondre avec un aspect de l'art du traducteur qui serait de faciliter (mais aussi ?ventuellement d'agr?menter) la lecture ? Les dimensions clairement ? rh?toriques ? du texte-source (par exemple les questions pr?cis?ment dites ? rh?toriques ?, li?es ? la seule gestation du texte) doivent-elles ?tre gomm?es dans le travail du traducteur ? La rh?torique du traducteur a-t-elle une dimension ? critique ? ? Est-elle cens?e v?hiculer (aussi) le point de vue singulier du traducteur ? Quelle est la part de la rh?torique dans le fait qu'historiquement les traductions ont si souvent fait l'objet d'adaptations marqu?es par la censure, l'id?ologie, la volont? p?dagogique, etc ? Quels sont les liens avec l'argumentation ? Le texte, la ? lettre ?, doivent-ils dans l'acte de traduire s'effacer derri?re des intentions, repr?sentationnelles, pol?miques et autres ? La rh?torique est-elle une ? technique ?, ou un art ? tactique ? Le traducteur doit-il ?tre rus? ? Doit-on ? rebours s'attacher ? relever, comme le fait un Dumarsais, des liens ?troits entre grammaire et rh?torique (nonobstant le trivium m?di?val) ? La rh?torique, au contraire de l'id?e commune, plonge-t-elle ses racines au c?ur m?me de la langue ? Quelles seraient les cons?quences d'une r?ponse positive pour la traduction ? 2. La traduction entre champs rh?torique, po?tique et ?motionnel Quels sont les liens entre rh?torique en tant que vis?e d'action, proche de la pragmatique moderne et po?tique en tant qu'imitation d'action (mimesis) ? La traduction doit-elle ?tre con?ue comme une action, rendre le texte-source toujours plus efficace, ou doit-elle d?ployer et explorer les sources de sa propre po?ticit? ? la rh?torique est-elle d?lib?r?ment ? cibliste ? ? Est-elle idiosyncrasique, un art diff?rent dans chaque langue particuli?re... ou rel?ve-t-elle au contraire de techniques tendanciellement universelles ? La distinction entre rh?torique et po?tique ne serait-elle pas une cons?quence d'une vision r?ductrice de ce qu'?tait la rh?torique des origines, celle d'Aristote, comme semblent en attester certaines des plus r?centes traductions de son texte fondateur et qui montrent l'indissociabilit? non seulement des propri?t?s s?mantiques et esth?tiques du langage, mais aussi de ses propri?t?s esth?tiques et po?tiques ? On pourra s'interroger sur l'instabilit? du statut de l'?motion et de ses inscriptions passionnelles dans le champ rh?torique. Qu'? l'occasion d'un ?v?nement ?motionnel, on convoque le concept de thymie en s?miotique, ou tout autre concept affine, comment cette ? subconscience ? o? se d?ploient les instances affectivo-?motives est-elle saisie dans l'acte traductif ? 3. Rh?torique et traduction dans leurs dimensions philosophiques et s?miologiques D'une part : la rh?torique ne serait-elle pas au fond de nature philosophique ? Peut-on y voir l'art m?me de former des concepts en les d?livrant ? la rh?torique se confond-elle avec la pragmatique moderne (wittgensteinienne, austinienne ...) ? D'autre part : Quels liens avec la s?miologie et/ou la s?mantique discursive et textuelle ? Comment la traduction doit-elle prendre en compte des effets comme l'idiomaticit?, le clich?, le st?r?otype, l'embl?matisation, les ? m?taphores conceptuelles ?, etc. Les questions ?videmment d?cisives de l'analogie, de la polys?mie, de l'implicite, de l'inf?rence, comme m?canismes de production des textes sont-elles rh?toriques et rel?vent-elles ? ce titre d'un chapitre autonome de l'art du bien traduire ? Et finalement : Quels liens entre rh?torique, traduction et ph?nom?nologie ? Le ? contenu ? peut-il ?tre distingu? de son appara?tre, de ses modalit?s de donation ? L'essence figurale du langage renvoie ? l'exp?rience imm?diate, au ? corps v?cu ? . La traduction est sans arr?t confront?e ? cette alternance de pr?sentation (figurale, motiv?e, ph?nom?nologique) et la gestation de contenus de repr?sentation. Tout acc?s au r?el est partiel, de l'ordre de l'esquisse, mais il s'impose avec la force du tout : ce que la tradition figure en termes - trop analytiques - de m?taphore, m?tonymie, synecdoque, etc. renvoie ? cette r?alit? en quelque sorte anthropologique. Mais tr?s diff?remment d'une langue ? l'autre. Comment la traduction doit-elle affronter ce probl?me ?

The European Masters Program in Computational Logic is sponsored scientifically by the European Network of Excellence on Computational Logic (CoLogNET), the European Association of Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI), the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI), the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AI*IA), the Italian Association for Informatics (AICA, member of the Council of European Professional Informatics Societies), the Italian Association for Logic and its Applications (AILA), and the Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA). THE FREE UNIVERSITY OF BOZEN-BOLZANO: The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, founded in 1997, boasts modern premises in the centre of Bozen-Bolzano. The environment is multilingual, South Tyrol being a region where three languages are spoken: German, Italian and Ladin. Studying in a multilingual area has shown that our students acquire the cutting edge needed in the international business world. Many of our teaching staff hails from abroad. Normal lectures are complemented with seminars, work placements and laboratory work, which give our students a vocational as well as theoretical training, preparing them for their subsequent professional careers. Studying at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano means, first and foremost, being guided all the way through the student's educational career. Bozen-Bolzano, due to its enviable geographical position in the centre of the Dolomites, also offers our students a multitude of opportunities for spending their free-time. The city unites the traditional with the modern. Young people and fashionable shops throng the city centre where ancient mercantile buildings are an attractive backdrop to a city that is in continual growth. To the south there is the industrial and manufacturing area with prosperous small and medium-sized businesses active in every economic sector. Back in the 17th century Bozen-Bolzano was already a flourishing mercantile city that, thanks to its particular geographic position, functioned as a kind of bridge between northern and southern Europe. As a multilingual town and a cultural centre Bozen-Bolzano still has a lot to offer today. Its plethora of theatres, concerts with special programmes, cinemas and museums, combined with a series of trendy night spots that create local colour make Bozen-Bolzano a city that is beginning to cater for its increasingly demanding student population. And if you fancy a very special experience, go and visit the city's favourite and most famous resident - "Oetzi", the Ice Man of Similaun, housed in his very own refrigerated room in the recently opened archaeological museum. Bozen-Bolzano and its surroundings are an El Dorado for sports lovers: jogging on the grass alongside the River Talfer-Talvera, walks to Jenesien-S.Genesio and on the nearby Schlern-Sciliar plateau, excursions and mountain climbing in the Dolomites, swimming in the numerous nearby lakes and, last but not least, skiing and snowboarding in the surrounding ski areas.

For further details, see http://nav.spatial.maine.edu/cosit/. Aim of the workshop ------------------- With the development of new sensor and communication technologies, there is an ever more pressing need for reliable and properly codified methods for deriving high-level information from masses of dynamic spatio-temporally distributed data. Data sources of relevance here include wireless sensor networks, CCTV, GPS, crowd-sourcing, and many others. The data may in some cases be understood as sample points from a continuous dynamic field, in other cases they may represent discrete objects forming crowds, swarms, or other collective entities. The desired high-level information can include the identification of objects or object-like aggregations, and the processes and events that they participate in, e.g., motion, expansion, contraction, splitting, or merging. Although much work is now being done on investigating such phenomena, there is still a need for a unified theoretical framework and common vocabulary to support the development of tools and techniques for handling them. This workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in the general area described above, and to solicit papers covering a range of related topics, such as * representation techniques (e.g., Voronoi diagrams; lifelines, histories and trajectories) * algorithms (e.g., spatial footprint generation and tracking, decentralised spatial algorithms) * formal theories (e.g., spatio-temporal calculi, process and event algebras, bigraphs) * applications (e.g., emergency management, security, traffic management, behaviour monitoring, environmental monitoring, ubiquitous computing) * visualisation and interaction (e.g., mobile and ubiquitous devices, natural language interaction, volunteered / crowd-sourced geographic information, ambient intelligence) We are looking for papers handling any of these topics with reference to the general theme of the workshop, identifying objects, processes, and events from distributed spatio-temporal data sources. The accepted papers will be included in the electronic COSIT conference proceedings. We also aim to approach a publisher with a view to subsequently issuing a selection of papers from the workshop (suitably extended and polished), either as a self-standing book or a special issue of a journal.

Our goal is to improve parsing performance for syntactic structures that are difficult to recover accurately, in particular for coordination and prepositional phrase (pp-) attachment. In this presentation I will focus on parse correction, which tries to make the most of the training data at our disposal by performing a second pass after parsing that reconsiders individual attachments using richer contextual information. I will also discuss initial work on a method meant to address lexical coverage problems in the treebank used for training: the injection of lexical association scores, calculated automatically over a large text corpus, into a parse correction model for pp-attachment. In our approach to syntactic dependency parse correction, attachments in an input parse tree are revised by choosing, for a given dependent, the best governor from within a small set of candidates. Assuming that a dependency parser's predicted parse tree for a sentence is mostly accurate, parse correction can revise attachments by using the parse tree's syntactic structure to restrict the set of candidate governors and extract a rich set of features over the syntactic context to help choose among the candidates. We consider a general corrective model that can be applied to all dependents in the output trees of a dependency parser, and we additionally explore specialized corrective models specific to coordination and pp-attachment. These two phenomena are often investigated as isolated problems, but here we treat them in the more realistic context of syntactic parsing. Our specialized corrective models are separately trained, and include expanded feature sets specific to the type of attachment to be corrected. For pp-attachment, in particular, the expanded feature set includes lexical association scores between the pp and each candidate governor. These lexical association scores are acquired automatically through distributional methods over a large corpus, using classic collocation extraction measures like mutual information, ttest, and likelihood ratio. In initial experiments, we obtain improvements in unlabeled attachment score over two state-of-the-art statistical syntactic dependency parsers for French (MaltParser and MSTParser). In addition to presenting the results of these experiments, I will discuss possibilities for improving both the dependency parse correction algorithm and the methods used for acquiring and injecting lexical association scores.

Submission deadline: June 8, 2011 Invited Speakers - Oliver Lemon, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK - Johanna Moore, University of Edinburgh, UK - Jeff Orkin, MIT Labs, USA The ENLG 2011 workshop continues a biennial series of workshops on natural language generation that has been running since 1987, providing a regular forum for presentation of research in this area. ENLG 2011 invites substantial, original, and unpublished submissions on all topics related to natural language generation. This includes research on core NLG issues as well as research in any area of NLP that produces language output, such as dialog systems, summarization, MT, etc. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Generation of affect and emotion - Personalization and personality of text - Content and text planning - Lexicalisation - Referring expression generation - Surface realization - Generation for dialog systems - Generation for embodied agents and robots - Evaluation of NLG systems - Text-to-text generation - Generation for summarization - Multimedia or multimodal generation - Story-telling and narrative generation - NLG for real-world applications e.g., Computer Assisted Language Learning, Authoring tools - Psycholinguistics and NLG - NLG in linguistically motivated frameworks - Statistical processing for NLG - Use of ontologies in NLG - Generating controlled languages ENLG 2011 will also include a special session on the Generation Challenges 2011. Generation Challenges is an umbrella event designed to bring together different shared-task evaluation efforts that involve the generation of natural language. In 2011 four shared-tasks on surface realisation, generating instructions in virtual environments, question generation, and the improvement of academic papers are being organized. Some of them will be presented at ENLG 2011. See the Generation Challenges website at http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/research/genchal11 for more information on how to participate in a shared task or propose a new shared task. Requirements: Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications must provide this information at submission time. If ENLG 2011 accepts a paper, authors must notify the program chairs, indicating which meeting they choose for presentation of their work. ENLG 2011 cannot accept for publication or presentation work that will be (or has been) published elsewhere. Submission categories: ENLG invites the submission of long and short papers: - Long papers are most appropriate for presenting substantial research results and must not exceed eight (8) pages, excluding references (accepted long papers will be presented orally); - Short papers are more appropriate for presenting an ongoing research effort, a demo or a system and must not exceed four (4) pages, excluding references (these will be presented as posters and/or demos during the poster session). Paper Submission: Submissions should be uploaded to the ENLG 2011 submission site: https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?timeout=1;conf=enlg2011 . Submissions must conform to the official ACL-HLT 2011 style guidelines (see http://www.acl2011.org/call.shtml#submission), which are contained in the style files, and they must be electronic in PDF.

Michel de Montaigne Bordeaux 3, propose un Master Recherches linguistiques et applications informatiques (ReLAI). Cette formation consiste ? donner aux ?tudiants des connaissances de haut niveau couvrant tous les domaines constitutifs de la linguistique, avec une ouverture vers leurs applications informatiques. Les comp?tences vis?es sont de savoir recueillir, d?crire, analyser et formaliser les donn?es linguistiques ? l'aide d'outils informatiques et de bases de donn?es. La vis?e de la formation est de pr?parer les ?tudiants ? s'int?grer dans des ?quipes pluridisciplinaires sur des projets informatiques (traitement automatique des langues) ou dans la recherche en linguistique. Les enseignements offerts se caract?risent par une triple orientation : descriptive, th?orique et appliqu?e. Une diversit? des langues (africaines, asiatiques et indo-europ?ennes) pr?sent?es dans ce parcours donne ? la formation une orientation r?solument multilingue. Le master se caract?rise par une structure originale, permettant une formation indiff?renci?e durant les trois premiers semestres. Ceux-ci sont centr?s sur l'approfondissement des connaissances dans les domaines cl?s de la linguistique ainsi que l'utilisation d'outils, d'applications et ressources informatiques en vue du traitement automatique des langues. Au 4?me semestre du master, l'?tudiant peut choisir de s'orienter vers un parcours recherche classique (m?moire de recherche) ou un parcours ? vis?e professionnalisante (stage et m?moire professionnel). Ce Master s'adresse aux ?tudiants int?ress?s par la linguistique, les applications et outils informatiques associ?s au traitement de donn?es langagi?res. Un dipl?me en Licence du Sciences du langage n'est pas exig? mais des connaissances de base en linguistique et un int?r?t g?n?ral pour le domaine sont indispensables. Aucun pr?-requis dans les domaines de la programmation et du traitement automatique des langues n'est n?cessaire pour l'inscription en M1. L'admission sur dossier est ouverte ? tous les ?tudiants titulaires d'une licence.

Cette approche repose sur une d?marche scientifique qui, ? l'instar des sciences du r?el, part de l'observation de ph?nom?nes li?s au langage et ? la parole, ?met des hypoth?ses permettant d'expliquer ces ?v?nements, puis tente d'en proposer une mod?lisation qui sera confront?e en retour aux observations, donc aux donn?es. L'exp?rimentation joue, dans cette d?marche de va-et-vient entre la r?alit? de la parole ou du langage et le laboratoire, un r?le essentiel dans l'?laboration et la validation des hypoth?ses. Tous les domaines de la linguistique peuvent donner lieu ? une d?marche exp?rimentale. La phon?tique exp?rimentale est ainsi un domaine fermement ?tabli depuis de nombreuses ann?es, tandis que la phonologie de laboratoire est en plein essor. De son c?t?, la psycholinguistique s'est toujours appuy?e sur ce type de m?thode et l'?tude des bases c?r?brales du langage vient d?sormais compl?ter cette d?marche en proposant l'exp?rience des neurosciences. De la m?me fa?on, les autres domaines comme la syntaxe peuvent faire l'objet d'exp?rimentations gr?ce ? l'?tude et ? la manipulation de donn?es issues de grands corpus. Un large ?ventail d'outils et de m?thodes est utilis? dans le cadre de cette d?marche exp?rimentale allant des tests de perception ? l'imagerie en passant par la mod?lisation computationnelle ou l'acquisition de donn?es physiologiques. Toutes les propositions d'articles d?crivant des travaux s'inscrivant dans cette d?marche sont appel?es dans le cadre de ce num?ro sp?cial des TIPA. Ces travaux pourront porter, de fa?on non limitative, sur des domaines vari?s comme la production ou la perception de la parole, la psycholinguistique et la neurolinguistique, la linguistique computationnelle, l'?tude des pathologies du langage et de la parole, etc. Ces propositions d'articles devront souligner les aspects m?thodologiques sur lesquels repose l'exp?rimentation. L'objectif de ce num?ro est de mettre en avant les convergences interdisciplinaires qui r?sultent de la d?marche exp?rimentale : la transposition de m?thodes issues d'un domaine ? l'?tude d'un autre domaine est ainsi un des enjeux de la linguistique exp?rimentale d'aujourd'hui, permettant d'imaginer des nouvelles approches pour l'?tude de ph?nom?nes crois?s. ************************************* Calendrier 30 juin : r?ception des propositions d'articles (titre, r?sum? et mots-cl?s) 31 ao?t : r?ception de la premi?re version de l?article Soumission et ?valuation ? partir de septembre Fin octobre : retour des versions finales Parution : d?cembre 2011 ************************************* Merci d'envoyer vos propositions ? l?adresse suivante : tipa at lpl-aix.fr Martine FARACO, au nom du comit? de r?daction ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Wed May 25 09:08:46 2011 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Wed, 25 May 2011 11:08:46 +0200 Subject: Appel: CMLF 2012 Message-ID: Date: Mon, 23 May 2011 21:52:50 +0200 From: Jean-Luc Minel Message-ID: <4DDABB12.1070809 at u-paris10.fr> X-url: http://www.ilf.cnrs.fr/, *Congr?s Mondial de Linguistique Fran?aise 2012* *Organis? par l'/Institut de Linguistique Fran?aise /(CNRS, FR 2393)* *du 4 au 7 juillet 2012, ? l'Universit?

Congr?s Mondial de Linguistique Fran?aise : du 4 au 7 juillet 2012 *Int?r?t scientifique* * * Le troisi?me Congr?s Mondial de Linguistique Fran?aise est organis? par l'Institut de Linguistique Fran?aise (ILF), F?d?ration de Recherche du CNRS (FR 2393) qui est sous la tutelle de cet organisme et du Minist?re de l'Enseignement Sup?rieur et de la Recherche. L'ILF regroupe dix-sept laboratoires de recherche, qui sont les co-organisateurs de ce congr?s en partenariat avec de nombreuses associations nationales et internationales. Une telle organisation, conjointement prise en charge par dix-sept unit?s de recherche, est exceptionnelle par son ampleur et la volont? de partenariat scientifique qu'elle r?v?le. Le premier Congr?s Mondial a ?t? organis? ? Paris par l'ILF en 2008, le deuxi?me ? La Nouvelle-Orl?ans. Chacun de ces deux congr?s a attir? plus de 300 participants et les r?sultats ont fait l'objet d'une publication en ligne imm?diate accompagn?e par un volume de r?sum?s et un CD-ROM d'actes. Le champ de la linguistique fran?aise au plan international est foisonnant, prot?iforme et extr?mement productif. L'organisation d'un congr?s mondial doit se donner pour objectif de regrouper, faire conna?tre et diffuser ces recherches. C'est dire que ce congr?s est organis? sans aucun privil?ge d'?cole ou d'orientation et sans exclusive th?orique ou conceptuelle quelle qu'elle soit. Chaque domaine ou sous-domaine, chaque type d'objet, chaque type de questionnement et chaque probl?matique portant sur le fran?ais peuvent y trouver leur place. Dans le m?me ordre d'id?es, la dimension internationale et l'accueil des linguistes francisants du monde entier retiennent toute l'attention n?cessaire. Le CMLF est organis? en sessions th?matiques et en sessions pl?ni?res telles que pr?cis?es ci-dessous. Les sessions th?matiques soulignent le fait que la linguistique fran?aise n'est pas limit?e ? tel ou tel domaine ?rig? en mod?le pour les autres sous-disciplines du champ. Treize th?matiques ont ?t? retenues, qui permettent de balayer la plus grande partie du champ scientifique : (1) Diachronie, histoire de la langue, (2) Didactique et enseignement du fran?ais langue maternelle, fran?ais langue seconde, (3) Discours, pragmatique et interaction, (4) Histoire, ?pist?mologie, r?flexivit?, (5) Lexique(s), (6) Linguistique du texte et de l'?crit, stylistique, (7) Morphologie, (8) Phon?tique, phonologie et interfaces, (9) Psycholinguistique et acquisition, (10) S?mantique, (11) Sociolinguistique et ?cologie des langues, (12) Syntaxe, (13) Traitement automatique des langues. A ces treize sessions th?matiques a ?t? ajout?e une quatorzi?me session ? pluri-th?matique ?, laissant ouverte la possibilit? de travailler dans plusieurs domaines, voire en marge des territoires disciplinaires traditionnels. Chaque th?matique est pilot?e par un Pr?sident et coordonn?e par un Vice-pr?sident (membre du Comit? directeur de l'ILF, ou bien choisi par ce comit?). Les comit?s scientifiques comportent une proportion ?quilibr?e de sp?cialistes fran?ais et ?trangers. Un soin particulier a ?t? accord? ? la s?lection des comit?s afin de s'assurer qu'ils pr?senteraient les plus grandes garanties scientifiques pour le succ?s du congr?s.

MTT has been extensively developed over the last four decades with respect to its coverage of linguistic phenomena and application in a variety of research fields - in particular, natural language processing. After MTT '03 in Paris, MTT '05 in Moscow, MTT '07 in Klagenfurt and MTT '09 in Montreal, this conference is the fifth in a series that aims at bringing together researchers working on MTT and related frameworks and their implementation in the framework of different natural language processing applications. The conference will be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Dependency Linguistics (http://www.depling.org/) to take place immediately before MTT '11. Unlike the previous MTT Conferences, MTT '11 will be organized in terms of thematic tracks. This new format shall help center the conference and stimulate in-depth contributions and discussions at the conference. Submissions are invited on one of the following themes, approached from the perspective of MTT or any other related framework: 1. Fundamentals (semantics, syntax, morphology, phonology and their interaction), Chair: Sylvain Kahane, Universit? Paris Ouest 2. Dictionaries and Lexical Semantics, Chairs: Valentina Apresjan, Russian Russian Language Institute and Tilmann Reuther, Alpen-Adria Universit?t Klagenfurt 3.

Its program each year has comprised high-quality papers discussing current work spanning topics including: new grammatical models of translation; new learning methods for syntax-based models; formal properties of synchronous/transduction grammars (hereafter S/TGs); discriminative training of models incorporating linguistic features; using S/TGs for semantics and generation; and syntax- and semantics-based evaluation of machine translation. At the same time, SMT has seen a movement toward semantics over the past five years, which has been reflected at recent SSST workshops. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely linked. Semantic SMT research now includes semantic role labeling (SRL) for MT evaluation, SRL for SMT, and WSD for SMT. In order to emphasize structure and representation at semantic and not only syntactic levels, ?Semantics? has been explicitly added to the name of this year's Workshop (the acronym remains SSST), and is a special workshop theme. Special sessions will be devoted to the Semantics theme.

Notre premi?re contribution a ?t? la conception et la mise en oeuvre d?un mod?le de repr?sentation robuste de l?information et son impl?mentation. Son objectif est d?apporter aux phrases des documents et aux questions de l?information structurelle, compos?e de groupes de mots typ?s (segments typ?s) et de relations entre ces groupes. Ce mod?le a ?t? ?valu? sur diff?rents corpus (?crits, oraux, web) et a donn? de bons r?sultats, prouvant sa robustesse. Notre seconde contribution a consist? en la conception d?une m?thode de r?ordonnancement des candidats r?ponses retourn?s par un syst?me de questions-r?ponses. Cette m?thode a aussi ?t? con?ue pour des besoins de robustesse, et s?appuie sur notre premi?re contribution. L?id?e est de comparer une question et le passage d?o? a ?t? extraite une r?ponse candidate, et de calculer un score de similarit?, en s?appuyant notamment sur une distance d??dition. Le r?ordonnanceur a ?t? ?valu? sur les donn?es de diff?rentes campagnes d??valuation. Les r?sultats obtenus sont particuli?rement positifs sur des questions longues et complexes. Ces r?sultats prouvent l?int?r?t de notre m?thode, notre approche ?tant particuli?rement adapt?e pour traiter les questions longues, et ce quel que soit le type de donn?es. Le r?ordonnanceur a ainsi ?t? ?valu? sur l??dition 2010 de la campagne d??valuation Quaero, o? les r?sultats sont positifs. Abstract: The objective of this work is to introduce a new robust approach to treat the problem of finding the correct answer to a question. Our first contribution is the design and implementation of a robust representation model for information. The aim is to represent the structural information of sentences of documents and questions structural information. This representation is composed of typed groups of words (typed segments) and relations between these groups. This model has been evaluated on several corpus (written, oral, web) and achieved good resultats, which proves his robustness. Our second contribution consisted is the design of a re-ranking method of a set of the candidate answers output by the question-answering system. This re-ranking method is based on the structural information representation. The general idea is to compare a question and a passage from where a candidate answer was extracted, and to compute a similarity score by using a modified edit distance we proposed. Our re-ranking method has been evaluated on the data of several evaluation campaigns. The results are quite good on long and complex questions. These results show the interest of our method : our approach is quite adapted to treat long question, whatever the type of the data. The re-ranker has been officially evaluated on the 2010 edition of the Quaero evaluation campaign, with positives results.

The digital ecosystem exhibits self-organizing environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its "digital components", in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying resources mainly comprehend data management, innovative services, computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems and their characteristics, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end. The conference seeks related original research papers, industrial papers and proposals for demonstrations. Topics ------- In this call, we solicit original research and technical papers not published elsewhere. The papers can be theoretical, practical and application oriented on the following themes (but not limited to): - Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure - Web Technologies - Service systems and Engineering - Emergent Intelligence - Data & Knowledge Management Systems - Multimedia Information Retrieval - Ontology Management - Social Networks - Game Theory - Networks and Protocols - Green computing - Security & Privacy - Standardization and Extensible Languages - Human-Computer Interaction - Business Intelligence - E-Services , E-Learning, E-Humanities and E-Government - B2B, B2C, B2A, E-Commerce, E-Business, E-Marketing and E-Procurement - Digital Library - Open Source Paper Submission ---------------- Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should be uploaded using the conference website. The submitted paper should be at most 8 ACM single-space printed pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 peer reviewers. After the preliminary notification date, authors rebut by evidence and arguments all reviewer inquiries and their comments. Based on the rebuttal feedback, reviewers notify authors with the final decision. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics related to Digital Ecosystems. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper. The conference Proceedings will be published by ACM and indexed by the ACM Digital Library and DBLP.
