From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue Apr 3 10:11:01 2012 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2012 12:11:01 +0200 Subject: Sujet de these: Morphologie et creation lexicale, ATILF Message-ID: Date: Tue, 03 Apr 2012 09:18:17 +0200 From: Fiammetta NAMER Message-ID: <4F7AA439.7040003 at univ-nancy2.fr> X-url: http://ecoledoctoralelts.univ-nancy2.fr/digitalAssets/163084_morphologie.pdf Appel à candidature pour une pour une thèse prioritaire intitulée : « Créativité lexicale en français, dénotation et intention du locuteur : le cas des règles morphologiques dites 'centrales' » Détails de l'annonce : http://ecoledoctoralelts.univ-nancy2.fr/digitalAssets/163084_morphologie.pdf Lieu : ATILF (CNRS & Université de Lorraine) Le doctorant devra résider à Nancy. Financement : sous forme de contrat doctoral ou équivalent Durée : trois ans (sep 2012-août 2015) Encadrement : Fiammetta Namer (Pr) et Stéphanie Lignon (MCF), axe Morphologie, équipe Lexique de l'ATILF Cette thèse vise à étudier les rapports qu'entretiennent les notions de « dénomination » et de « démarquage » dans les néologismes (plus précisément les créations lexicales) formés au moyen de procédés dits « centraux », en morphologie du français. Ces procédés centraux sont, pour l'essentiel, les règles de suffixation et de préfixation non évaluatives. Leur finalité est de dénommer de nouveaux concepts. En d'autres termes, on cherche à savoir dans quelle mesure ces procédés, connus pour leur régularité (que certaines théories appellent naturalité, canonicité, ou encore prototypicité) peuvent être détournés de la fonction à laquelle on les associe habituellement pour former des lexèmes dont la finalité première n'est pas de nommer un nouveau concept. C'est ce qu'on appelle la créativité. Cette question de la créativité a été largement débattue dans la littérature à propos des procédés dits extragrammaticaux. En particulier, la formation des mots-valises, et leur rôle dans le discours publicitaire, politico-satirique, ou dans les romans ont fait l'objet de nombreux travaux : il est clair que « mode de formation extra-grammatical » et « créativité lexicale » sont deux notions qui entretiennent des rapports étroits. Ce qui est alors intéressant à aborder, ce sont les rapports que l'on peut identifier entre créativité lexicale et procédés qui a priori ne sont pas conçus pour produire ce type de néologismes. Et c'est cette question qui sert de point de départ à la thèse. 3. Questions qui peuvent être soulevées par le doctorant Plusieurs pistes de recherches sont à envisager. La doctorant choisira celle(s) qu'il voudra aborder dans la thèse : 1 productivité / créativité 2 productivité dans la langue générale / productivité liée à un domaine 3 dénomination / démarquage 4 compétition entre sémantique et phonologie 5 corpus écrits standards / corpus en ligne de la langue spontanée 6 pourquoi créer un lexème nouveau / par quels mécanismes 7 diastratie/diatopie 8 procédés créatifs / procédés non créatifs Les recherches qu'impliquent ces points : - se situent au carrefour de la morphologie, de l'analyse de gros corpus, de la néologie - questionnent aussi bien l'intention du locuteur, que les contraintes sémantiques et morphophonologiques qui concourent à la formation des créations étudiées - sous-entendent une réflexion portant sur la constitution des corpus 'écrits spontanés' sur lequels s'effectueront les recherches ; - impliquent que l'on aborde la morphologie sous l'angle de la production réelle des locuteurs. 6. Prérequis Diplôme de Master en Sciences du langage; connaissances en morphologie constructionnelle du français, intérêt pour la linguistique basée sur l'usage et l'analyse de données authentiques. Le candidat présélectionné devra soutenu son mémoire de Master avant le 15 juin 2012 pour que sa candidature soit validée. 7.

L’interopérabilité sémantique en santé s’appuie donc sur un ensemble de ressources et de services permettant à un système d’information de lier les données recueillies avec les connaissances générales du domaine et permettant une optimisation des dossiers patients informatisés pour un usage multiple : le soin, la santé publique et la recherche clinique à travers plusieurs systèmes de santé et plusieurs institutions. La question de l’interopérabilité sémantique en santé est en pleine expansion au niveau européen comme en témoigne les nombreux projets financés dans le programme du FP7, mais également en France avec le déploiement du Dossier Médical Personnel mi-Janvier 2012. L’objectif de cet atelier est de réunir les travaux traitant des ressources et bases de connaissances pour l'interopérabilité sémantique en santé (partage et réutilisation) sous divers aspects : leur construction, leur évaluation, les langages et standards pour les représenter. Il s’agit de rassembler des chercheurs issus des mondes académique et industriel pour débattre de la question de l’interopérabilité sémantique en santé à travers la présentation d’activités de recherche innovantes, de techniques, de technologies et de démonstrateurs développés dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre de solutions d’interopérabilité sémantique dans le domaine médical. ========= THEMES ========= Nous sollicitons des propositions de communication portant sur le thème de la construction de ressources et de bases de connaissances pour faciliter l'interopérabilité sémantique au sein d’applications médicales (dossiers patients, systèmes d’information hospitaliers ...) Les discussions pourront être organisées autour des thématiques (non exhaustives) suivantes : ** Terminologies et Ontologies médicales : Interopérabilité sémantique des contenus médicaux, Méthodes d'alignement de terminologies et d'ontologies, Indexation terminologique de dossiers médicaux de patients et de récits cliniques, Formalismes et langages de représentation, Apports de la sémantique dans la pratique médicale ... ** Intégration de données multi-sources : Entrepôts de données biomédicales Partage et réutilisation des données … ** Extraction de l’information et de connaissances à partir de contenus médicaux : construction de bases de connaissances, fouille de données fouille de textes … ** Utilisation de l’interopérabilité sémantique : pour l’aide à la décision, la recherche d’information, l'indexation… ============ SOUMISSIONS ============ Les chercheurs travaillant sur les thématiques de l’Interopérabilité Sémantique pour les applications en e-santé sont invités à soumettre des contributions jusqu'à *6* pages au format *** PDF** *conformes au modèle de documents de la conférence IC : Modèle LaTeX : http://ic2012.crc.jussieu.fr/style_latex_IC2012.zip Modèle Word : http://ic2012.crc.jussieu.fr/style_word_IC2012.doc Les contributions pourront être envoyées par courriel jusqu'au 30/04 à ic.isante at gmail.com ========= DATES ========= Réception des articles : 30 Avril 2012 Réponse aux auteurs : 28 Mai 2012 Version finale : 4 Juin 2012 Atelier : Mardi 26 Juin 2012 ========= COMITE ========= Florence Amerdeilh, Mondeca Sandra Bringay, LIRMM, Université Montpellier 2 Rémy Choquet, INSERM Equ20 Marc Cuggia, INSERM U936, Université Rennes 1 Olivier Dameron, INSERM U936, Université Rennes 1 Christel Daniel, INSERM Equ20 Stefan Darmoni, LITIS, Université de Rouen Catherine Duclos, LIM&Bio, Université Paris 13 Bruno Frandji, Medasys Marie-Christine Jaulent, INSERM Equ 20 Clément Jonquet, LIRMM, Université Montpellier 2 Michel Joubert, LERTIM, Marseille Fleur Mougin, ISPED, Université Bordeaux 2 Chantal Reynaud, LRI, Université Paris 11 Lina Soualmia, LIM&Bio, Université Paris 13 Pierre-Yves Vandenbussche, Mondeca et INSERM Equ20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue Apr 3 19:34:53 2012 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2012 21:34:53 +0200 Subject: Appel: 8th Scandinavian Logic Symposium Message-ID: Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2012 09:02:07 +0200 From: Thomas Bolander Message-ID: X-url: http://scandinavianlogic.org/ 8th SCANDINAVIAN LOGIC SYMPOSIUM 20-21 August 2012 at Roskilde University, DENMARK Second Announcement and Call for Papers The 8th Scandinavian Logic Symposium will be held at Roskilde University, Trekroner, Denmark, 20-21 August 2012. After a gap of fifteen years, the Scandinavian Logic Symposium is back. The Symposium is the first major initiative of the newly revived Scandinavian Logic Society (SLS, http://scandinavianlogic.org/) and will be held at Roskilde University (RUC), Denmark. As with previous editions of this conference, the aim of the programme is to reflect current activity in logic in our part of the world. So we hope that participants from Scandinavia, the Baltic countries and Northwestern Russia will take the opportunity to contribute a talk and to meet with fellow logicians from the area. But needless to say, we also extend a warm welcome to logicians from further afield and plan to present a varied and interesting collection of invited and contributed talks. TOPICS The scope of SLS 2012 is broad, ranging over the whole area of mathematical and philosophical logic, and logical methods in computer science. Suitable topics include (but are not limited to): * Proof Theory and Constructivism * Model Theory (including Finite Model Theory) * Set Theory * Computability Theory * Categorical Logic * Logic and Provability * Logic and Computer Science * Logic and Linguistics * Modal, Hybrid, Temporal, and Description Logic * Logics of Games, Dynamics and Interaction * Philosophy of Mathematics * Philosophy of Computation * Philosophy of Logic * Philosophical Logic PREVIOUS SCANDINAVIAN LOGIC SYMPOSIA: 7th Scandinavian Logic Symposium: Uppsala in 1996 6th Scandinavian Logic Symposium: Telemark in 1982 5th Scandinavian Logic Symposium: Aalborg in 1979 4th Scandinavian Logic Symposium: Jyväskylä in 1976 3rd Scandinavian Logic Symposium: Uppsala in 1973 2nd Scandinavian Logic Symposium: Oslo in 1971 1st Scandinavian Logic Symposium: Åbo in 1968 The proceedings of several of these meetings have been published in book form.

L’appel à propositions 2012 a pour thème l’observation, la description et l’analyse des nouvelles pratiques de l’écrit : les nouveaux usages de la textualité. Sont visés le français et les langues de France. 1. Thème de l'appel à propositions : L’usage des nouvelles technologies et de l’Internet, des téléphones portables aux ordinateurs en passant pas les tablettes numériques et les assistants personnels, induit de nouvelles pratiques linguistiques poly-sémiotiques du texte et de l’écrit. L’objectif de cet appel à propositions est de faire progresser la connaissance des nouvelles pratiques de l’écrit et des nouveaux usages textuels, notamment numériques. Il s’agira d’étudier, entre autres, l’impact des nouvelles technologies sur la production et la réception textuelle, la poly-sémiotique de la textualité contemporaine, les normes et variations de l’écrit liées aux nouveaux supports, les pratiques d’écriture et de lecture contemporaines au regard des nouvelles fonctionnalités numériques. La notion d’illectronisme pourra également être discutée. Les études seront fondées sur une observation et une analyse des usages et des pratiques linguistiques et/ou des représentations qui sont liés aux nouvelles modalités du texte et de l’écrit dans le contexte numérique. Elles devront permettre de mieux comprendre les situations linguistiques hétérogènes, en aidant notamment à une meilleure connaissance des pratiques linguistiques réelles sur l’ensemble du territoire national, et apporteront ainsi des informations utiles à l’élaboration de politiques publiques, culturelles, sociales ou éducatives. Les travaux pourront proposer une analyse de données nécessitant la constitution d’un corpus. Dans ce cas, sauf conditions particulières argumentées, le corpus sera livré à la DGLFLF pour être rendu disponible pour d’autres études ou pour la constitution de ressources numériques, y compris dans un cadre de valorisation des données linguistiques. Les langues concernées doivent être le français ou les langues de France, ou éventuellement une autre langue pratiquée sur le territoire français (métropole et outre-mer) dans une situation socialement significative. Le dossier présenté peut prendre la forme d’un pré-projet exploratoire. Il peut regrouper plusieurs équipes. La dimension pluridisciplinaire sera privilégiée. 2. Nature de la convention Les projets retenus donneront lieu à la signature d'une convention entre la Délégation générale et l'organisme responsable du projet. Le montant de la subvention sera compris entre 3 000 et 15 000 euros, selon la nature des projets. La subvention correspondra à une partie de la dépense totale. La part de l'organisme contractant pourra être réduite au temps-chercheur alloué aux travaux mentionnés dans la convention. Le projet répondant à l'appel à propositions devra comprendre : - la présentation de l'organisme (annexe A) ; - le projet scientifique présentant une description de la méthodologie, ainsi que l'intérêt des travaux du point de vue de l'observation, de la description et de l’analyse des nouveaux usages de la textualité. On soulignera l'adéquation du projet aux objectifs de l'Observatoire en général, et au thème de l'appel à propositions 2012 en particulier (annexe B) ; - un projet de budget détaillé, en recettes et en dépenses, faisant apparaitre les partenariats éventuels, la part du budget global assumée par l'organisme (y compris l'évaluation du temps-chercheur) et la part restant à la charge de la DGLFLF (annexe C). 2.1. Format des travaux Les travaux comprendront : - une synthèse de la recherche qui présentera celle-ci et qui mettra en évidence les informations utiles dans le cadre de l'élaboration de politiques éducatives, sociales et culturelles. Ce document comprendra un titre et six mots-clés ; - un résumé d'environ trois milles signes, comprenant un titre et six mots-clés. Ce résumé doit pouvoir être destiné à une large diffusion et à des lecteurs non spécialistes ; - le cas échéant, le corpus dans un format facilitant la réutilisation et l’interopérabilité des données. Ce corpus sera libre de droits et pourra être rendu accessible par la DGLFLF selon les modalités habituellement pratiquées (référencement des auteurs et usages non commerciaux). 2.2. Suivi et évaluation des travaux. Le conseil scientifique de l’observatoire procèdera à l’évaluation des travaux. 2.3. Délai de réalisation des travaux La durée des travaux prévus dans le cadre de la convention est d’un an. Les travaux devront donc être remis au plus tard 12 mois après la signature de la convention. 3. Procédure de sélection des projets Les dossiers de candidature à l’appel à propositions devront être visés par le responsable scientifique du projet et comprendront les annexes A, B et C (disponibles sur le site internet de la DGLFLF). Ils seront adressés à la DGLFLF le 16 mai 2012, délai de rigueur, par voie postale et par courriel. Les projets seront soumis à l’expertise du conseil scientifique de l’Observatoire des pratiques linguistiques, qui proposera une liste de projets sélectionnés. Les critères retenus pour subventionner les propositions de travaux prendront en considération l’adéquation à l’appel à propositions, le cout total du projet et le respect des délais impartis. 4.

It will immediately follow the 53st Annual Conference of the American Translators Association (ATA), also in San Diego. AMTA-2012 is seeking proposals for workshops and tutorials on all topics related to MT. Due to AMTA-2012's collocation with the ATA meeting, we are particularly interested in proposals that are designed to help translators understand MT technology and the role of translation automation in the commercial translation production pipeline as well as to help MT researchers and developers understand the needs of translators and the translation industry. However, any themes connected to MT research, development, deployment, use, and evaluation are welcome. Tutorials and Workshops will be held on Sunday, October 28, immediately preceding the main conference, and Thursday, November 1, immediately following the main conference. The first of those days will focus on events that have a potential for attracting ATA members. Aims: Tutorials at AMTA conferences are a forum for experts in MT and MT-related areas to deliver concentrated training on a topic of interest in half-day (or occasionally full-day) teaching sessions. Tutorials provide background that helps conference participants (especially newcomers to the field) understand the conference program, and/or enrich their understanding of particular technical, applied, and business matters surrounding research, development and use of MT and translation technology. AMTA workshops are intended to provide the opportunity for MT-related communities of interest to spend focused time together advancing the state of thinking or the state of practice in their area of interest or endeavor. Important dates: - Proposal Submission deadline: Thursday, May 31 What to submit: Proposals for workshops and tutorials should be submitted by May 31, 2012 to Alain Desilets (alain.desilets at nrc-cnrc.gc.ca, Tutorials) or Jay Marciano (jay.marciano at lionbridge.com, Workshops).

In the last decade, remarkable progress has been achieved through a combination of data-influenced approaches, automatic metrics, and open comparative evaluations. Applications of MT technology, such as post-editing, are becoming increasingly viable. New researchers continue to join the field, in part due to open-source toolkits such as GIZA++ and MOSES, which have lowered the bar for mounting a competitive baseline system. AMTA-2012 solicits original research papers that will advance the field. We seek submissions across the entire spectrum of MT-related research activity. In particular, we are interested in creative new applications of MT technology, and in new ideas that will allow MT to break free of BLEU incrementalism as it approaches maturity. Submissions must be unpublished, and in English. Important dates: - Submission deadline: Monday, May 21 - Notifications of acceptance: Monday, July 2 - Final "camera-ready" versions: Monday, August 6 Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Advances in various MT paradigms: data-driven, rule-based, and hybrids - Supervised or unsupervised acquisition of linguistic structure - MT applications and embedding: translation/localization pipelines, speech-to-speech, speech-to-text, OCR, MT for communication (chats, blogs, social networks) - Technologies for MT deployment: confidence estimation and domain adaptation - MT in special settings: low resources, massive resources, high volume, low computing resources (eg, PDAs) - MT Evaluation Submission Instructions: Papers should not be longer than 10 pages and should be in pdf format. Style files (Latex and MS Word) will be posted on the conference web-page at: http://amta2012.amtaweb.org/ To allow for blind reviewing, please do not include author names and affiliations within the paper and avoid obvious self-references. Detailed submission instructions will be posted on the conference website in the near future and will be included in future announcements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Call for MT User Presentations: Commercial Users and Translators Contact: Ray Flournoy ( flournoy at adobe.com ) Mike Dillinger ( mike at translationOptimization.com ) The Commercial User track will focus on how MT can meet business needs and create viable consumer products and services. Examples of MT applied to business needs include just-in-time localization of critical information, delivery of multilingual technical support information, or creation of draft translations for post-editing. Examples of MT for products and services include automatic translation apps, MT integration with websites, and commercialization of the MT engines themselves. Submissions should focus on the use of MT in a business setting and how it is integrated with other processes and technologies to support business goals and serve customer needs. Important dates: - Submissions due: Monday, May 21 - Notification of acceptance: Monday, July 2 - Final "camera-ready" versions due: Monday, August 6 Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: - Use of MT to reduce localization time and/or cost - Integrating MT and human translation - Post-editing experiences and data about productivity - ROI analyses of post-editing versus translation - Use of MT to provide localization of data-driven, dynamic, or user-specific information - Ways in which MT can be used to increase the scope of globalization projects - Managing change when implementing MT systems - Open-source and low-cost MT tools: are they realistic and is there a market for them? What to submit: Ideal presentations will clearly identify a business need and describe how MT meets those needs, with a candid assessment of its strengths and limitations for that particular usage, supported as possible by data. Submissions should be 250-500 word summaries and may be sent directly in e-mail or as attachments in RTF format. How to submit: Send submissions or questions by email to Mike Dillinger (mike at translationOptimization.com) or to Ray Flournoy ( flournoy at adobe.com ) by Monday, May 21. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for MT User Presentations: Government Users and Translation Professionals Contacts: Chuck Simmons ( Charles.Simmons at wpafb.af.mil ) Nick Bemish ( Nicholas.Bemish at dia.mil ) AMTA Government User presenters and participants will focus on the strategic nature and use of Machine Translation in governmental organizations. Most governmental entities are providing a benefit to their customers, who require them to translate large volumes of information and to make it available across multiple languages and varied network architectures. The need for language translation technology within governmental organizations is diverse and sometimes compartmented. Governments are looking for advances in Machine Translation technology, which help them deliver information not only from the native languages of various countries but also into those other languages. In turn, the information delivered helps governments to understand social and political activities in context. In an age when significant volumes of data are available in many languages, it is necessary to look to automated alternatives, which assist the linguist and enable the human translation process. For this year's AMTA conference, we are asking government participants to consider topics that address the employment of MT tools and applications that focus on translation and support the linguists/translators in their programs and processes. We are looking for representation from all government organizations that face language challenges, including: Department of Defense, Intelligence, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, Human Resources, Commerce, Labor, Energy, Judiciary, Business, Trade, Transportation, and many others. Within the governmental organizations, we request the attendance of leaders or their representatives, who can address challenging topics, including but not limited to the following: 1. Acquisition strategies that include policies directed towards implementation of MT 2. Funding priorities that stress the need for metrics to ensure adequate return on investment (ROI) 3. Requirements development which includes a broad audience of users across the federal workspace 4. Computer systems and network architectures that support inclusion of MT tools and any significant integration and security challenges 5. Research and development leading to the advancement of tools that support less commonly used languages or minimizes gaps 6. Program management strategies and how they apply to the integration and acceptance of MT tool usage 7. Case studies on examples of MT use and how it impacts the organizations ability to share content 8. Strategic Views and Objectives pertaining to Challenges with respect to MT Programs and the Employment of MT tools (e.g., IT, personnel, implementation) 9. Implementation strategies that factor into MT use as a process supporting human translation (pre-translation/post-editing) The sessions will be structured to provide open and constructive dialogue among attendees with diverse technical backgrounds and areas of expertise. The secondary objective of this approach is to establish longer-term connections among participants and foster new cooperative efforts. Important dates: - Submission deadline: Monday, May 21 - Notifications of acceptance: Monday, July 2 - Final "camera-ready" versions: Monday, August 6 What to submit: Ideal proposals should include information on Strategic Views and Objectives pertaining to MT programs; Employment and creative uses of MT tools and significant challenges; as well as information on achievable gains through usage and/or metrics. Submissions should be 250-400 word summaries and may be sent directly in e-mail or as attachments in RTF format. Those presenters wishing to have their submissions published in the AMTA Proceedings should produce their papers in accordance with the Research submission guidelines. Publication is not a requirement. Additionally, all government organizations are requested to obtain the broadest level of release of their presentation so that the final presentation versions (PowerPoint or comparable) can be shared with attendees. Those not wishing to have their presentations shared must indicate that with their submission package. How to submit: Send submissions and questions to Government User program chairs, Nicholas Bemish at Nicholas.Bemish at dia.mil and Chuck Simmons at Charles.Simmons at wpafb.af.mil by Monday, May 21. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue Apr 3 19:53:41 2012 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2012 21:53:41 +0200 Subject: Cursus: Master de Sciences du Langage, Universite de Lorraine, Nancy Message-ID: Date: Tue, 03 Apr 2012 09:23:19 +0200 From: Fiammetta NAMER Message-ID: <4F7AA567.4070509 at univ-nancy2.fr> X-url: http://candidature-nancy.univ-lorraine.fr/ Le Master Sciences du langage et Didactique de l’université de Lorraine, site de Nancy, a pour objectif de former des spécialistes, théoriciens et praticiens, dans les domaines de la linguistique, de la didactique des langues et du traitement automatique des langues.

The fact that so many people express themselves on these topics makes opinions less biased and more credible; their subjective nature makes them easily understandable by all people and leads to their growing influence on communities worldwide. Due to all these reasons, opinions expressed on the Web are more and more considered as basis for decision-making processes, for recommendation systems, business intelligence processes, image monitoring, and marketing or for obtaining unbiased, massive feedback. In spite of the growing body of research in the area in the past years, dealing with affective phenomena in text has proven to be a complex, interdisciplinary problem that remains far from being solved. Its challenges include the need to address the issue from different perspectives and at different levels, depending on the characteristics of the textual genre, the language(s) treated and the final application for which the analysis is done. Bearing in mind the abovementioned reflections, the aim of the 3rd Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis (WASSA 2012) is to continue the line of the previous two editions, bringing together researchers in Computational Linguistics working on Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis and, more generally, on affect in text. Moreover, taking into account that affect-related phenomena have also been studied by other disciplines, such as Psychology, Philosophy or Economics, the purpose of WASSA 2012 is to facilitate an interdisciplinary dialogue on the analysis, requirements, issues and applications of the study of subjectivity and sentiment in the context of traditional and emerging text types. We envisage WASSA as a forum to discuss the achievements obtained so far and to analyse the different approaches to tackle the difficulties researchers are confronted with in this research area. ************************************************************************ TOPICS OF INTEREST Inspired by the objectives we aimed at in the first two editions of the Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity Analysis (WASSA 2010 and WASSA 2.011) and the final outcome, the purpose of the proposed 3rd edition of the Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis (WASSA 2012) is to create a framework for presenting and discussing the challenges related to subjectivity and sentiment analysis in NLP, from an interdisciplinary theoretical and practical perspective. Researchers are encouraged to submit papers including, but not restricted to the following topics related to subjectivity and sentiment analysis: . Lexical semantic resources, corpora and annotations for subjectivity and sentiment analysis . Subjectivity and opinion retrieval, extraction, categorization, aggregation and summarization . Topic and sentiment studies and applications of topic-sentiment analysis . Mass opinion estimation based on NLP and statistical models. . Domain, topic and genre dependency of sentiment analysis . Ambiguity issues and word sense disambiguation of subjective language . The computational treatment of large amounts of user-generated content . Pragmatic analysis of the opinion mining task . Use of Semantic Web technologies for subjectivity and sentiment analysis . Improvement of NLP tasks using subjectivity and/or sentiment analysis . Intrinsic and extrinsic evaluation methodologies for subjectivity and sentiment analysis . Subjectivity, sentiment and emotion detection in social networks . Trend detection in social media using subjectivity and sentiment analysis techniques . Classification of stance in dialogues . Real-world applications of opinion mining systems We will also encourage participants to provide demos of their systems, thus giving them the opportunity to obtain feedback on their achievements and issues. At the same time, with the help of demos, we aim at enriching the discussion forum with application-specific topics for debate. ************************************************************************ ORGANIZERS .

L'objectif de la thèse est plus précisément d'étudier les méthodes permettant d'adapter le plus rapidement possible un système d'extraction d'information défini dans un domaine donné à un autre domaine, voire une autre langue. CONTEXTE La thèse se situe dans le contexte de l'extraction d'information, domaine dont l'objectif est d'identifier des événements ou des faits dans des textes et de structurer les informations retenues. Le plus souvent, cet objectif prend la forme d'une tâche de remplissage de formulaires (templates) prédéfinis à partir de textes. Ainsi, pour un formulaire centré sur les événements sismiques, l'objectif est pour chaque tremblement de terre détecté dans un texte de localiser des informations telles que sa localisation, sa magnitude, sa date et son heure. Un extrait de texte tel que "En visite sur place, le vice-premier ministre Besir Atalay a confirmé que 25 bâtiments s'étaient effondrés à la suite du séisme d'une magnitude de 5,6. Il s'est produit à 20h23 mercredi soir, avec un épicentre localisé dans le district d'Edremit, à 17 kilomètres au sud de Van." doit ainsi permettre à un système d'extraction d'information de remplir un formulaire typique sur les tremblements de terre qui aurait la forme suivante : FORMULAIRE « TREMBLEMENT DE TERRE » lieu : district d'Edremit, à 17 kilomètres au sud de Van magniture : 5,6 heure : 20h23 date : mercredi soir Sa mise en oeuvre demande néanmoins des moyens humains importants, que ce système soit construit sur la base de règles élaborées manuellement ou bien par apprentissage, à partir d'un corpus annoté lui-même manuellement. Un des défis actuels dans le domaine de l'extraction d'information, comme pour beaucoup d'autres applications liées au traitement automatique des langues, est donc de développer des méthodes permettant de réduire, dans la mesure du possible, le coût et le temps de développement de systèmes pour un contexte applicatif donné (domaine, type d'information à extraire et langue). OBJECTIFS DE LA THESE La thèse se propose d'aborder la problématique de l'adaptation à un nouveau domaine selon trois axes, dans le prolongement des travaux déjà réalisés au laboratoire LVIC : - le développement de processus d'extraction d'information génériques. L'idée sous-jacente est de limiter autant que possible l'utilisation d'heuristiques propres aux domaines considérés, utilisation souvent efficace mais dont l'absence de généricité pose problème pour la transposition d'un domaine à un autre. Cette amélioration de la généricité des processus d'extraction, initiée dans (Jean-Louis et al., 2011a), passe en particulier par le recours à des analyses de nature discursive ; - la minimisation de la dépendance vis-à-vis d'un domaine des modèles construits par apprentissage pour implémenter les processus d'extraction. Cette minimisation, elle aussi initiée dans (Jean-Louis et al., 2011a), est obtenue notamment par l'utilisation de caractéristiques excluant le vocabulaire spécifique d'un domaine. L'objectif dans ce cadre est de compenser la perte de performance qui résulte le plus souvent de cette restriction par une certaine stabilité des résultats d'un domaine à un autre ; - l'utilisation d'approches semi-supervisées qui, à l'instar de la supervision distante, permettent de définir l'adaptation à un nouveau domaine par la donnée d'exemples de structures à extraire liées à ce domaine (relations ou templates) plutôt que par l'annotation de corpus. À la suite de (Jean-Louis et al., 2011b), l'idée est ici de conjuguer la projection de ces structures dans des corpus caractéristiques du domaine cible et l'utilisation de techniques d'extraction génériques telles que celles développées par exemple dans (Wang et al., 2011) pour construire des exemples annotés pour ce domaine. Le laboratoire LVIC du CEA LIST dispose d'une plate-forme modulaire de traitement des langues, LIMA, permettant de réaliser une analyse linguistique d'un texte allant jusqu'au niveau syntaxique et intégrant certaines analyses sémantiques et discursives. Le doctorant réalisera son travail en s'appuyant sur cette plate-forme et bénéficiera des travaux en extraction d'information déjà réalisés au sein du laboratoire, dans plusieurs domaines (domaines des événements sismiques et de la finance).

Rosset (rosset at limsi.fr), co-directeur: O. Galibert (olivier.galibert at lne.fr) Entreprise : LNE-Laboratoire National de métrologie et d’Essais équipe Traitement de l’information multimedia Le Laboratoire National de Métrologie et d'Essais (LNE), EPIC de 760 personnes, couvre plusieurs domaines d'activités en tant que laboratoire d'essais, expert-technique, laboratoire national de métrologie, organisme de recherche et organisme de certification. Il intervient dans huit secteurs différents : métrologie, produits de consommation, électrotechnique, santé, emballage, construction, transport et environnement. Ces dernières années, le LNE a étendu son domaine d'intervention à l'évaluation des systèmes de Traitement Automatique du Langage (TAL). L'équipe de recherche participant à ce projet travaille sur l'évaluation et la qualification de systèmes d'acquisition, de traitement, de restitution et de stockage du signal (image et son). Le LNE est un organisme indépendant des développeurs de systèmes et joue ainsi un rôle de tiers neutre et de confiance dans l’organisation des évaluations. Unités de recherche : LIMSI - Laboratoire d'Informatique pour la Mécanique et les Sciences de l'Ingénieur- UPR3251 Groupe Traitement de la Parole (TLP) Le groupe TLP est reconnu internationalement pour ses travaux sur le traitement de la langue orale et en particulier pour ses développements sur la reconnaissance de la parole. Le groupe TLP conduit des recherches multidisciplinaires sur de nombreux sujets, dont la reconnaissance de la parole, la linguistique de corpus, l'analyse d'erreurs, l'interaction conversationnelle, la recherche d'informations précises dans des données de parole. Il est ou a été organisateur de campagnes d'évaluation de systèmes de recherche d'informations précises dans des données de parole (Question Answering on Speech Transcripts} de 2007 à 2009, Quaero Entités Nommées Structurées depuis 2009). LPP - Laboratoire de Phonétique et de Phonologie- UMR 7018 Le LPP développe une forte activité dans le domaine émergent de la phonétique de corpus oraux, en particulier avec le LIMSI. Il est impliqué dans la production de corpus de parole et aux techniques d'annotation et de correction semi-automatique de corpus aux niveaux phonétiques et phonologiques. Financement : bourse CIFRE Mots clés : Evaluation, reconnaissance automatique de la parole, traitement automatique des langues, combinaison de systèmes Résumé : Depuis une vingtaine d'années, l’évaluation de la transcription de la parole accompagne et stimule les progrès en traitement automatique de la parole. Des domaines comme la recherche d'information (RI), la détection et l'extraction d'entités nommées à partir de données textuelles font également appel à des métriques et des campagnes d'évaluation bien maîtrisées. En revanche, des systèmes de RI à partir de données audio (notre exemple d’application complexe à base de transcription automatique) nécessitent une étape intermédiaire de transcription automatique, et posent de nouveaux défis de combinaison de métriques et de paradigmes d'évaluation. Il s’agit de proposer des mesures permettant à la fois d’évaluer les différents modules que comprend une application complexe ainsi que d’optimiser l’application complète. Des transcriptions automatiques de parole utilisées en entrée d’un module de RI, permettant de réaliser une recherche d’information sur des documents audio. Ce projet de thèse vise à répondre aux questions suivantes : Où se situent les erreurs des systèmes de transcription de parole et quels sont les niveaux (acoustique, phonologique, syntaxique…) qui posent problème pour l’application à réaliser ? Quel impact ont ces erreurs sur les performances d’un module utilisant ces transcriptions ? Comment combiner les métriques pour optimiser l’application complexe ? L’objectif est de définir des métriques permettant de quantifier l’impact des erreurs de transcription sur les modules applicatifs en aval. De manière complémentaire, les travaux viseront également à mieux caractériser les modules applicatifs en termes de zones de tolérance par rapport à des erreurs de transcription en entrée. Dans le cadre de cette thèse le module applicatif se limitera à la recherche d’information et plus particulièrement aux détection et extraction des entités nommées.

Face à l'accumulation des données -scientifiques, issues du web (réseaux sociaux, open data) et des publications-, quelles nouvelles méthodes pour visualiser et manipuler de grands ensembles de données statiques ou dynamiques ? --- La recherche en visualisation de données : créer un télescope pour explorer l'information. Jean-Daniel FEKETE Directeur de Recherche INRIA, responsable équipe-projet AVIZ (Analyse Vi(z)uelle) (Orsay), président de l'association francophone d'Interaction Homme-Machine (AFIHM), ancien président de la conférence IEEE Information Visualization Les sciences produisent et collectent aujourd'hui des données en quantité astronomique. Comment les comprendre ? Comment les explorer ? Nous sommes face aux données comme des astronomes du 16e siècle avant l'invention du télescope. Heureusement, la visualisation de données remédie à cette lacune dans un ensemble d'univers numériques très divers : que ce soit pour explorer les résultats d'expériences scientifiques, l'évolution des sciences vue par les publications scientifiques, comprendre les stratégies sociales de tribus africaines, ou la nature des communications dans les réseaux. Depuis une vingtaine d'années, le domaine de la visualisation d'information a fourni des représentations visuelles de données abstraites ainsi que des méthodes d'interaction pour en faciliter l'exploration. Notre présentation introduira les bases de la perception visuelle sur lesquelles sont bâties ces représentations - la perception pré-attentive - et montrera des exemples de nouvelles représentations visuelles pour des données réelles tels des tableaux multidimensionnels et des réseaux de grande taille. --- Visualiser et collaborer avec Twitter Samuel HURON Responsable du design à l'Institut de Recherche et d'Innovation du Centre Pompidou Doctorant dans l'équipe AVIZ de l'INRIA La disponibilité de flux de données sociales en temps réel permet de développer de nouveaux types d'outils. Nous fournissons des moyens d'enrichissement de ces flux afin de faciliter leur structuration et visualisation. Basées sur le réseau social Twitter, nous vous présenterons diverses expériences : - d'enrichissement et indexation de conférence (Polemic Tweet)) - de monitoring d'activité politique (Bubble-TV) - de sondage en temps réel (Bubble-TV) --- Visualisation en biologie cellulaire : Cytoscape, un nouveau microscope numérique pour la biologie cellulaire des systèmes Benno SCHWIKOWSKI Responsable du Laboratoire de Biologie Systémique à l'Institut Pasteur (Paris), qui développe des méthodes et outils informatiques (tels Cytoscape) pour l'interprétation de données biologiques à grande échelle. La biologie cellulaire est entrée dans une ère où les nouvelles technologies commencent à fournir des jeux de données globaux et de taille importante, concernant des processus intracellulaires complexes à différents niveaux d'organisation biologique. Beaucoup de processus intracellulaires intéressants ont été modelés et affinés au cours d'une très longue évolution, et impliquent de nombreux éléments différents. La compréhension de ces processus fournirait une approche complémentaire radicalement nouvelle et puissante dans des domaines étendus de la biologie et de la médecine. Dans cette approche, les chercheurs sont confrontés au défi de la reconstruction de processus dynamiques et hautement complexes, à partir d'un certain nombre d'instantanés flous. La visualisation joue un rôle clé pour permettre aux chercheurs d'assembler les données, en comparant et en intégrant avec les connaissances existantes pour construire les scénarios émergents. Dans ma présentation, j'illustrerai les pratiques courantes de cette activité (également nommée biologie systémique) à travers la présentation de la plateforme logicielle de visualisation et d'analyse Cytoscape, et son application à quelques problèmes biologiques. --- Informations pratiques : Les séances ont lieu à la Faculté des Sciences d'Orsay, bâtiment des colloques (338), 1er étage, de 13h30 à 15h30 (entrée libre).

Peu de ressources sont aujourd'hui disponibles pour évaluer les applications du Web sémantique. La plupart des ontologies disponibles (comme DBPedia, MusicBrainz, ...) ou proposées lors de campagnes d'évaluation (QALD dans le domaine des Questions/Réponses, Billion Triples Track pour évaluer le passage à l'échelle des applications, ...) présentent des lacunes qui empêchent une évaluation de qualité des applications développées. Certaines de ces ontologies manquent d'expressivité. Lorsqu'elles sont formées d'une simple hiérarchie de concepts ou sont issues de schémas relationnels, elles offrent des possibilités d'inférence limitées. D'autres sont limitées en termes d'exhaustivité, même au sein d'un domaine. Le domaine couvert est restreint et il est fréquent que peu d'instances soient représentées. Pour contourner ce manque, les travaux menés actuellement sont évalués sur des ontologies créées pour valoriser l'application.

Among the hybridizations the possible combinations are unlimited. The most frequent combination, as stressed during The Balancing Act in 1994, addressed machine learning and rule-based systems. Beyond this, the hybridization can be augmented with distributionnal approaches, syntactic and morphological analyses, semantic distances and similarities, graph theory models, cooccurrences of linguistic units (e.g., word and their dependencies, word senses and pos-tag, NEs and semantic roles,...), knowledge-based approaches (terminologies and ontologies), etc. As a matter of fact, the hybridization implies to define a strategy to efficiently combine several approaches: cooperation between approaches, filtering, voting or ranking of the multiple system outputs, etc. Indeed, the combination of these different methods and approaches appears to provide more complete and performant results. The reason is that each method is sensitive and efficient with given data and within given contexts. Hence, their combination may improve both precision and recall. The coverage is indeed improved, while the exploitation of different methods may also lead to the improvement of the precision since their use within filtering, voting etc. modes becomes possible. In this workshop, we favour the extended meaning of the hybridization of methods, applied to various application areas, such as: automatic creation of linguistic resources POS tagging building and structuring of terminologies information retrieval and filtering information extraction linguistic annotation semantic labeling sign language recognition and transcription oral data transcription filtering and validation of lexical resources text summarization question/answering system natural language generation etc. =================== Programme Committee =================== Anders Ardö, EIT, LTH, Lund University, Sweden Delphine Bernhard, LiLPa, Université de Strasbourg, France Wray Duntine, NICTA, Australia Philipp Cimiano, CITEC, University of Bielefeld, Germany Vincent Claveau, IRISA-CNRS, Rennes, France Kevin Cohen, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, USA Marie-Claude l'Homme, OLST, Université de Montreal, Canada Béatrice Daille, Université de Nantes, LINA, France Stefan Th.

This special issue aims to bring together researches that address the problem of automatic summarization in all its facets. It aims to shed light on the questions: - How can we identify the key ideas in a document? - How can we summarize information distributed across multiple documents? - How can we preserve the coherence and cohesion of the summary produced? - Can we apply the same approaches used to summarize texts to multimedia documents (video and audio)? - How to evaluate the quality of a summarization? ... Recommendations to Authors ------------------------------------ - Submissions should be sent to Revue.ResumeAutomatique at gmail.com (details below) and should follow the style sheet of the journal available on the server http://www.revuesonline.com/ (or on request to: dn at lavoisier.fr). - Articles should not exceed 20-30 pages.

Si tout le monde semble convenir que soit « maintenue » ou « assurée » la sécurité dans un État de droit comme la France, le thème de « l’insécurité » suscite cependant des polémiques, réveille des angoisses ou se fait l’écho de peurs. Il répond à une demande ou la crée. Les mots mêmes de sécurité et d’insécurité paraissent dotés d’un pouvoir d’enchantement : insécurité sonne l’alarme, tandis que sécurité a le don de tranquilliser momentanément. Pour autant, « l’insécurité » figure aujourd’hui bien souvent dans les discours politiques et médiatiques comme une catégorie déproblématisée qui génère un consensus tant au niveau de ses expressions que des représentations qu’elle véhicule. Informé par l’analyse de discours, la sémantique et la linguistique de corpus, cet ouvrage explore le surgissement de la thématique sécuritaire dans l’espace public.

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS (Deadline extended to April 22th 2012) The 7th International Workshop on Vocabularies, Ontologies and Rules for the Enterprise (VORTE 2012) Co-located with the 16th IEEE International EDOC Conference, Beijing, China, 10th-11th September, 2012 WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION The VORTE series of workshops is devoted to the topics of vocabularies, ontologies and rules in the context of enterprise systems. The complexity of enterprise systems, the increasing needs for advanced collaboration between various systems within one institution or among many collaborating parties and the velocity of organizational, policy, structural and market changes strongly call for immediate mobilization of the research community to develop more flexible and reliable technologies for the advancement of enterprise systems. Trying to respond to this urgent research need, the VORTE series of workshops has been established in order to bring together researchers and practitioners that are looking into the topics of ontologies and rules in enterprise system development from different yet complementary perspectives. The major objective is to provide a research forum for exchanging ideas and results covering the use of ontologies and rules in various stages of the lifecycle of enterprise systems. Examples of topics covered by VORTE research contributions include the development and adaptation of foundational, business and domain ontologies for the enterprise, the use of ontologies and rules in all aspects of enterprise modelling such as business process management and services, the enhancement of rules and services with formal semantics, and the evaluation of such systems and approaches. The workshop is also a forum for the discussion of ontology-based knowledge management issues, interoperability issues and ontology engineering issues, and covers various application domains relevant for organizations (such as e-government and e-commerce). The workshop also welcomes contributions on open linked data initiatives for the enterprise and empirical studies on the use of ontologies and rules in the enterprise system development lifecycle. TOPICS Vocabularies and Ontologies for the enterprise: - Ontology-driven representation of products, services, functionalities, design, processes; - Ontologies for the know-how; - Ontologies for corporate knowledge; - Upper-level ontologies in the enterprise; Knowledge management: - Ontology and ontological methodologies in knowledge management and integration; - Adaptation of ontologies for companies and organizations; - Ontology engineering, learning and maintenance within organizations; - Ontology integration and alignment within organizations; - Ontology effectiveness and evaluation in organizations; Conceptual and Enterprise Modeling: - Ontological Foundations for Conceptual Modeling and Meta-modeling - Ontology Design and maintenance for Conceptual Model Integration; - Ontology-Based Conceptual Modeling Tools and Environments - Ontologies and Enterprise Architecture Modeling - Ontologies and Business Process Modeling - Ontologies and Goal-Based Modeling - Ontologies and Business Rules Enterprise Semantic Interoperability: - Web services, Semantic services - Composition and Modularity - Merging, Mapping and Alignment - Ontology Language Interoperability - Open linked data publishing and exploitation Problems and case studies in ontology application: - Practical issues in using ontologies in enterprises - Real cases of successful/unsuccessful use of ontology in business - From legacy systems to the new ontology-driven systems SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION We solicit two types of papers: - Short papers (4 pages) discussing controversial issues in the field or describing interesting or thought-provoking ideas that are not yet fully developed; and - Full papers (8-10 pages) describing more mature results All submissions MUST conform to the two-column format of IEEE Computer Society conference proceedings (http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) and include the author's name, affiliation, and contact details. Papers must be submitted as PDF files using EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vorte2012 All papers must not have been previously published or submitted elsewhere. The papers accepted for the EDOC 2012 Workshops will be published after the workshop with an ISBN in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. At least one of the authors for each accepted paper must register for the main conference (there will be no workshop-only registration at EDOC 2012) and present their papers at the workshop. Post-conference Journal Publication For previous editions of the workshop, special issues have been published in journals such as Applied Ontology (2007), IJBPIM (2007), Elsevier's Information Systems (2008, 2010), and Journal of Research Practice in Information Technology (2009).

Directeur de la thèse : Anne Boyer – Professeur des Universités (Université de Lorraine) - Equipe KIWI, LORIA Qualifications du candidat : Le candidat devra être en possession d'un master recherche en informatique. Une coloration en intelligence artificielle sera appréciée. Candidature : Les candidat(e)s doivent envoyer CV, une lettre motivation ainsi que le nom de personnes pouvant fournir des références à leur sujet à anne.boyer at loria.fr et armelle.brun at loria.fr Contexte : Une bonne communication et propagation de l’information à la fois au sein des entreprises et à destination de leurs clients sont déterminantes car elles influent sur leur efficacité et leur rentabilité. Apparus vers 2008-2009, les réseaux sociaux d’entreprise (RSE) sont un nouveau moyen de favoriser la communication et la propagation d’informations dans les entreprises. De plus en plus d’entreprises ont d’ailleurs compris l’utilité des RSE et les ont adoptés. A titre d’exemple, Yammer était utilisé par plus de 80 000 entreprises dont 80% du Fortune 500 en 2010, selon TechCrunch. Les RSE sont centrés, comme les réseaux sociaux publics (RS), sur deux aspects : 1) la mise en avant de l’individu et de son réseau, 2) la conversation. Les RSE permettent de rapprocher virtuellement les membres d’une même organisation et servent également à la gestion de projet, au partage de connaissances. Le changement de paradigme est complet par rapport aux intranets, le modèle étant centré utilisateur. Si ces réseaux sont en général destinés à un usage interne à l’entreprise, ils peuvent aussi être étendus à ses clients. Dans ce cadre, ils peuvent interagir avec d’autres services : notamment en important ou exploitant les données utilisateur depuis des réseaux sociaux publics tels que Twitter ou Facebook. Via cette interaction, l’entreprise cherche à savoir ce qui se dit d’elle à l’extérieur (pour analyse et décision) et ainsi réagir pour une meilleure efficacité. L’interaction RS/RSE est d’ailleurs en plein essor en Europe. et aux Etats-Unis. Problématiques de la thèse : Dans le domaine bancaire, la mise en place de connexions entre RS et RSE permettra de faire émerger un nouveau mode de communication entre la banque et ses clients, ainsi qu’avec ses futurs clients. Les problématiques auxquelles s‘intéresse cette thèse s’inscrivent autour de la définition et de la mise en place de cette communication. Nous étudierons les RSE/RS et en particulier chercherons à modéliser leur dynamique et travaillerons à la gestion automatique de la e-réputation d’une entreprise : cela signifie déterminer automatiquement les personnes actives dans un réseau, influentes (mentors, leaders), modéliser l’évolution des communautés et des interactions au sein de et entre ces communautés. Défis scientifiques : Les défis sur lesquels nous nous pencherons dans cette thèse sont les suivants : · Détermination et recommandation de l’information pertinente à transmettre aux clients, de façon à maximiser leur satisfaction. La satisfaction sera modélisée au travers de l’observation et de l’analyse des actions (traces d’usage) que les clients entreprennent : usage mining. Une attention particulière sera portée à la non-intrusivité (privacy). La maximisation de la satisfaction de la banque (impact sur la rentabilité) sera également un critère déterminant du choix de l’information à recommander : la fonction à maximiser sera donc une fonction multi-critères. · Détermination automatique de communautés homogènes (analyse de grands graphes évolutifs), de leur dynamique (évolution, émergence, disparition), des leaders/mentors de communautés (utilisateurs actifs, influents). Détermination automatique des critères déterminant les communautés. · Diffusion de l’information / communication sur les RS, donc sur un canal (semi-) public. La cohérence des informations diffusées doit être primordiale, et l’équilibre entre personnalisation et cohérence globale sur l’ensemble des clients devra être respecté. · Détermination automatique des fils de discussion dans les RS où la banque doit intervenir : réponse à des critiques, à des questions ou à des sujets connexes afin de gérer sa e-réputation. Des techniques de datamining classiques devront exploitées et de nouvelles techniques seront proposées. La réalisation de ces défis s’appuiera sur les compétences et l’expérience de l’équipe dans les domaines comme la personnalisation [1], la modélisation utilisateurs [2], de la détection de communautés dans les réseaux et les réseaux sociaux de grande taille [3], la recherche de leaders dans des réseaux [4][5], etc. [1] Modélisation de comportements et apprentissage stochastique non supervisé de stratégies de recherche et d’accès à l’information.

IMPORTANT DATES ----------------------------- Long paper submission deadline: Apr 18, 2012 Short paper submission deadline: Apr 22, 2012 Notification to authors: May 5, 2012 Camera-ready deadline: May 20, 2012 Workshop dates: TBD, during the ACL-2012 workshop period (Jul 12-14, 2012) WORKSHOP SCOPE ----------------------------- Morphologically Rich Languages (MRLs) are languages in which grammatical relations such as Subject, Predicate, Object, etc., are indicated morphologically (e.g. through inflection) instead of positionally (as in, e.g. English), and the position of words and phrases in the sentence may vary substantially. The tight connection between the morphology of words and the grammatical relations between them, and the looser connection between the position and grouping of words to their syntactic roles, pose serious challenges for syntactic and semantic processing. Furthermore, since grammatical relations provide the interface to compositional semantics, morphosyntactic phenomena may significantly complicate processing the syntax-semantics interface. In statistical parsing, which has been a cornerstone of research in NLP and had seen great advances due to the widespread availability of syntactically annotated corpora, English parsing performance has reached a high plateau in certain genres, which is however not always indicative of parsing performance in MRLs, dependency-based and constituency-based alike. Semantic processing of natural language has similarly seen much progress in recent years. However, as in parsing, the bulk of the work has concentrated on English, and MRLs may present processing challenges that the community is as of yet unaware of, and which current semantic processing technologies may have difficulty coping with. These challenges may lurk in areas where parses may be used as input, such as semantic role labeling, distributional semantics, paraphrasing and textual entailment, or where inadequate pre-processing of morphological variation hurts parsing and semantic tasks alike. This joint workshop aims to build upon the first and second SPMRL workshops (at NAACL-HLT 2010 and IWPT 2011, respectively) while extending the overall scope to include semantic processing where MRLs pose challenges for algorithms or models initially designed to process English. In particular, we seek to explore the use of newly available syntactically and/or semantically annotated corpora, or data sets for semantic evaluation that can contribute to our understanding of the difficulty that such phenomena pose. One goal of this workshop is to encourage cross-fertilization among researchers working on different languages and among those working on different levels of processing. Of particular interest is work addressing the lexical sparseness and out-of-vocabulary issues that occur in both syntactic and semantic processing. The workshop will be organised around three broad themes: - Syntactic Models: Models and architectures that explicitly integrate morphological analysis and parsing; Cross-language and cross-model comparison of strengths and weaknesses regarding particular linguistic phenomena. - Semantic Models: State-of-the-art semantic analysis and generation methods for MRLs, including semantic similarity and entailment criteria and their task-specific instantiation, and suitable representations for semantic tasks in MRLs. - Joint Modeling Aspects: Improving lexical coverage and handling of out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words by utilising lexical knowledge or unsupervised/semi-supervised learning techniques; The role of parsing in semantic analysis for MRLs; Preprocessing issues that jointly affect parsing and semantic analysis; Syntax-Semantics interfaces for monolingual or multilingual systems. The areas of interest for this joint workshop include, but are not limited to, the following topics: --Syntactic Parsing of MRLs * parsing models and architectures that explicitly integrate morphological analysis and parsing * parsing models and architectures that focus on lexical coverage and the handling of OOV words either by incorporating linguistic knowledge or through the use of unsupervised/semi-supervised learning techniques * Cross-language and cross-model comparison of models' strengths and weaknesses in the face of particular linguistic phenomena (e.g. morphosyntactic characteristics, degree of word-order freedom) * Comprehensive analyses of the strengths and weaknesses of various parsing models on particular linguistic (e.g. morphosyntactic) phenomena with respect to variation in tagsets, annotation schemes and additional data transformations --Semantic Processing of MRLs * Semantic distance and entailment criteria in the MRL space (e.g., with respect to inflection, derivation, root, pattern, lemma, tense, and/or aspect, etc.); possibly task-specific criteria * Lexical resources and morphological analysis tools facilitating semantic distance measures and semantic relation detection * Methods and models for semantic similarity/distance calculation, clustering and paraphrasing relying on MRL properties, and using: probability, vector/graph representation, data-driven and/or linguistic rules, pivoting/SMT, machine-learning, etc. * Paraphrase and textual entailment detection or generation, specific to MRLs (e.g., task-specific issues of inclusion or exclusion of certain paraphrase and textual entailment patterns differing in inflection) * Use of morphological analysis for semantic calculation aimed at reducing sparsity / OOV rate, preferably without losing information due to mere lemmatization * Semantic role labeling (SRL) for MRLs; verbal/nominalized selectional preferences --The Syntax-Semantics Interface: * Parsing-based semantic processing tasks, e.g., semantic role labeling (SRL) * Processing of compounds and multi-morphemic words: optimal level(s) of tokenization, representation, and morphological analysis for either/both tasks * Syntax-aware semantic distance measures, paraphrasing and textual entailment * Semantic classes and/or relations as input to syntactic parsing In addition to the standard (oral or poster) presentations in the sessions, the SP-Sem-MRL workshop will feature a panel of commentators for a selection of the talks, allowing for an extended discussion period. This new feature is introduced in order to foster in-depth discussions and to nurture interactions among researchers. It is our hope that these interactions will help to bring ideas (and solutions) to the fore and promote a more rapid advance of the state-of-the-art in the field. SHARED TASK ------------------ There will be no shared task on MRLs this year. However, we will take this opportunity to disclose, during a special session of SP-Sem-MRL, the data sets and evaluation procedures for the cross-linguistic cross-framework shared task which was discussed at previous SPMRL panels, and which is planned for SPMRL 2013 at IWPT 2013. Researchers who are interested in participating in the shared task or teams that wish to add their data sets or extrinsic evaluation procedures to the task are encouraged to attend the session and contribute to the discussion. SUBMISSION ------------------- Authors are invited to submit long papers (up to 10 pages + any number of reference pages) and short papers (up to 5 pages + any number of reference page). Long papers should describe unpublished, substantial and completed research. Short papers should be position papers, papers describing work in progress or short, focused contributions. Long papers may be submitted until April 18, 2012, and short papers until April 22, 2012, in PDF format via the START system: https://www.softconf.com/acl2012/sp-sem-mrl-2012/ Submitted papers must follow the styles and the formatting guidelines available from the current ACL recommendations (http://www.acl2012.org/call/sub01.asp). As the reviewing will be blind, the papers must not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ..." must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ..." Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. In addition, please do not post your submissions on the web until after the review process is complete. Authors must imperatly specify wether their paper has been submitted elsewhere (e.g emnlp). DOUBLE-SUBMISSION POLICY: PLEASE INDICATE IN YOUR SUBMISSION IF YOU SUBMITTED YOUR PAPER TO OTHER VENUES, SUCH AS EMNLP.

In this chapter, the authors describe in detail the key indexing technologies behind today's web-scale search engines. They are used to provide a better understanding of how web indexes are utilized. An overview of the infrastructure needed to support the growth of web search engines to modern scales is also given. Finally, the authors outline the potential future directions for search engines, particularly in real-time and social contexts.

Centralized IR systems are becoming inefficient in the face of continued Web growth and a fully distributed architecture seems to be desirable. Without a centralized information repository and global control, a new distributed architecture can take advantage of distributed computing power and can allow a large number of systems to participate in the decision making for finding relevant information. In this chapter, the author presents a decentralized, organic view of information systems pertaining to searching in large-scale networks. The Clustering Paradox phenomenon is discussed.

Magali Roux, Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris VI, France Petabytes of data are generated by data-intensive sciences, also known as e-sciences. These data have to be searched to further perform multifarious analyses, including disparate data aggregation, in order to produce new knowledge. To achieve this, e-sciences have developed various strategies, mostly based on metadata, to deal with data complexity and specificities. In this chapter, Nuclear Physics, Geosciences and Biology, which are three seminal domains of e-sciences, are considered with regards to the strategies they have developed to search complex data. Metadata, which are data about data, were given a pivotal role in most of these approaches. The structure and the organization of metadata-based retrieval approaches are discussed.

One could imagine that indexes are made by professionals that control normalized vocabulary. However, according to the author, this is only an ideal view far from the reality of the actual indexation process. The description of photos is done by photographers who have no knowledge of information retrieval or of normalized vocabulary. Moreover, the description does not take into account aspects such as semantic ambiguities, cross-lingual querying, etc. In this chapter, the author presents an experience in which all these limitations are avoided.

It includes models and languages for the description of Web resources on the one hand and ontologies for describing resources on the other hand. Although ontologies mainly consist of hierarchical descriptions of domain concepts, some domains cannot be precisely and adequately formalized in classic ontology description languages. To overcome those limitations, promising research is being conducted on fuzzy ontologies. In this chapter, the authors propose a definition for a fuzzy ontological model based on fuzzy description logic, along with a methodology for building fuzzy ontologies and platforms.

The semantic and discourse annotations are provided by means of the contextual exploration method. This method describes the discursive organization of texts by using linguistic knowledge present in the textual context. This knowledge takes the form of lists of linguistic markers and contextual exploration rules of each linguistic marker. The linguistic markers and the contextual exploration rules can help to retrieve relevant information like causality relations, definitions of concepts or quotations, etc., which are difficult to capture with classical methods using keywords.

Every object is considered as a concept. Indeed, the model associates concepts to words. It analyzes every word of a document within its context and translates it into a concept, which will be the meaning of the word. The model is evaluated and documents are classified in categories by using their conceptual representations.

Berry, University of Tennessee, USA Reed Esau, Catalyst Repository Systems, USA Bruce Kiefer, Catalyst Repository Systems, USA In this chapter the authors discuss the electronic discovery (eDiscovery), which consists of the process of collecting and analyzing electronic documents to determine their relevance to a legal matter. At first glance, the large volumes of data needed to be reviewed seem to lend themselves very well to traditional informational retrieval and text mining techniques. However, the noisy and ever-changing aspects of the collections of documents and the particularities of the domain cause the results to be inconsistent using existing tools. Therefore, new tools that take these specific elements into consideration need to be developed. Starting with the history of the collection process of legal documents, the authors then examine how text mining and information retrieval tools are used to deal with the collection process and further propose some research directions to improve it, such as collaborative filtering and cloud computing.

Indeed, it contains precious and strategic data for product marketing and business intelligence. However, conventional search engines are inadequate for this task, as they are not designed to retrieve these particular kinds of data. Consequently, the field of opinion mining and retrieval is getting increasing amounts of attention. In this chapter, the authors present the Doxa project, a work in progress that aims to build a semantic enterprise search engine with integrated business intelligence technology and state of the art opinion and sentiment extraction, analysis and querying of electronic text in French.

Research on information retrieval in recent years has mainly focused on addressing issues such as document indexation, document ranking and on providing simple and quick means to search the Web, in an attempt to provide fast and high-quality results to user queries. Despite the great progress made in regard to those aspects and the success of many search engines, people still commonly have difficulties retrieving the information they are seeking, especially when they are unable to formulate an appropriate query or are overwhelmed by results. More needs to be done to include the user into the search process and assist them into the crafting and refinement of their queries and the exploration of the results. This chapter discusses the state-of-the-art research in the field of human-centered Web search.

In fact, the browser and its various possible parameterizations seem to be an important factor that allows a user to better meet its task. An analysis of the customization of web browsers for knowledge workers is proposed. It demonstrates that a browser offering the possibility of add-ons is an application that is highly adaptable in meeting the specific requirements of its users.

Therefore, identifying the correct user's search needs is not always an easy task. In order to solve this issue, the next generation of search engines will assist the users in dealing with large sets of results by offering various post-search tools such as result clustering, which has received a lot of attention recently. It consists of clustering search results into a hierarchical labeled tree so the users can customize their view of search results by navigating through it. In this chapter, the author presents WSC, a high-performance result clustering system, based on a mixed clustering method and a genuine divisive hierarchical clustering algorithm to organize the labels into a hierarchical tree. The author also shows that WSC achieves better performances than current commercial and academic systems.

It is often difficult for users to find key words that express their exact needs. In many cases, the users are confronted on the one hand with a lack of knowledge on the subject of interest in their information search and on the other hand with biases that may affect the results. Thus, retrieving relevant documents in just one pass is almost impossible. There is a need to carry out a reformulation of the query either by using completely different keywords, or by expanding the initial query with the addition of new keywords. In this chapter, authors present a semi-automatic method of reformulation of queries based on the combination of two methods of data mining: text classification and maximal association rules.

Therefore, Question Answering systems rely heavily on natural language processing techniques for syntactic and semantic analysis and for the construction of appropriate answers. This chapter presents the state of the art in the field of question answering, within which the authors cover all types of promising QA systems, techniques and approaches for the next generation of search engines, focusing mainly on systems aimed at the (semantic) web.

In querying a database, it is expected that factual questions will yield short answers that give precise information. However, with a web environment, topics are not limited and knowledge is not structured. Finding answers requires analyzing texts. In fact, the problem of finding answers to questions consists of, in this context, extracting a piece of information from a text. In this chapter, the author presents question-answering systems that extract answers from web documents in a fixed multilingual collection.

Lately, a lot of efforts have been put into the development of robust mobile search engines capable of providing attractive and practical services to mobile users, such as tools that provide directions to business locations according to the user location or voice speech search that uses speech recognition technologies. However, the capabilities of current mobile search engines are still limited. In particular, enhancements are made possible by exploiting information about the current context of the users and providing this to search engines to improve the relevance of the results. In this chapter, a context model and an architecture that promote the integration of contextual information are presented through a case study.

In recent years, much research has been devoted to develop contextual information retrieval technologies. Moreover, from the proliferation of new means of communication and information access, such as mobile devices, have emerged new needs in IR. In this chapter, the authors discuss this specific issue with respect to mobile information retrieval, followed by a presentation of a model of spatio-temporal-based personalization for mobile search, using contextual data such as location and time in order to dynamically select the most appropriate profile from a given situation. Each profile contains user interests learnt according to searches in past individual explorations. They also propose a novel evaluation scenario for mobile search based on diary study entries.

Some recent challenges in search engine evolution change users' information behavior. The authors identify four major trends in the "user-oriented approach" that focus respectively on strategies and tactics, cognitive and psychological approaches, management, and consumer and marketing approaches. However, the authors note that there is a need to better understand the dynamics and the nature of the interaction between Web searching and users. Also, other aspects such as ethics, cultural issues, growing social networks, etc. need to be considered.

As time progresses, advances in Artificial Intelligence will be made and thus new artificial intelligence technologies will be developed to enhance the sophistication of the search engines. This future generation of search engines, called artificial intelligence enabled search engines, will be compelled to play an even more crucial role for information retrieval, but this will not be without any consequences. Through this chapter, the author analyzes the concept of technological singularity, discusses the direct and indirect impacts of the development of new technologies and artificial intelligence, notably regarding search engines, and proposes a four-stage evolution model of search engines.

Quality measures for most evaluations consist of calculating precision and recall using a set of ad-hoc queries and assume that common users examine every result returned by a search engine in the same order they are presented. While this may be true in some contexts, it has been shown that it is not necessarily the case in Web searches, where modern Web search engines present results in various and enriched forms and where the users are typically interested only in a few highly relevant results and examine them as they see fit. Therefore, there is a need for new extended evaluation models for Web search engines. To this end, the author proposes a framework for evaluating the retrieval effectiveness of next-generation search engines.

This interest is mainly due to the greater importance of the Web and the need to provide equal access and equal opportunity to people with diverse disabilities. The role of assistive technologies based on language processing has gained importance as it can be observed from the growing number of efforts (United Nations declarations on universal access to information or WAI guidelines related to content) and research in conferences and workshops (W4A, ICCHP, ASSETS, SPLAT, etc.). However, language resources and tools to develop assistive technologies are still scarce. NLP4ITA aims to bring together researchers focused on tools and resources for making textual information more accessible to people with special needs including diverse ranges of hearing and sight disabilities, cognitive disabilities, elderly people, low-literacy readers and adults being alphabetized, among others. This workshop will give an opportunity for individuals from different communities to present research findings, discover future challenges, and discuss potential collaboration.

Cependant, des ressources de ce type sont requises pour le développement d'outils pour de nombreuses applications du traitement automatique des langues. De ce fait, plusieurs travaux se sont récemment intéressés au transfert automatique de connaissances de langues riches en ressources vers d'autres langues. Le stage proposé rejoint cette problématique. Le transfert de connaissances linguistiques d'une langue à l'autre a généralement lieu au sein de corpus parallèles et se base sur l'alignement des textes. L'idée sur laquelle reposent les méthodes proposées est que si l'on dispose de corpus annotés et de leur traduction dans une autre langue, on peut chercher à transférer les annotations dans cette autre langue. Par ce processus, des ressources sont créées qui permettent d'entraîner des outils d'analyse à différents niveaux dans les nouvelles langues (Yarowsky et Ngai, 2001; Lopez et al. 2002). Ce stage est plus particulièrement centré sur le transfert d'informations de rôles sémantiques de l'anglais vers le français. Les méthodes d'étiquetage de rôles sémantiques nécessitent des connaissances linguistiques importantes ou de grands corpus annotés. En anglais, ces ressources et les outils dérivés existent (Gildea et Jurafsky, 2002; Palmer et al., 2005). Pour le français, des travaux sont en cours pour construire de telles ressources et outils, y compris en exploitant des corpus parallèles (Padó et Pitel, 2007; Van der Plas et al., 2011) afin de bénéficier des outils ou annotations disponibles pour l'anglais. L'objectif de ce stage est de mener une étude sur le processus de transfert de rôles sémantiques de l'anglais vers le français. Plus précisément, nous souhaitons explorer les cas où le transfert ne peut pas être effectué. Cela peut être dû à la structure spécifique aux langues particulières ; à des erreurs d'alignement ; ou à des divergences de traduction observées au sein de corpus parallèles. Les résultats du processus de transfert proposé par Van der Plas et al. (2011) seront analysés en comparaison avec un étiquetage de référence (gold standard) contenant les résultats corrects. Le/la stagiaire aura donc à étudier les cas où l'analyseur ne fournit pas les résultats souhaités, à procéder à une analyse des erreurs, étudier l'impact de ces sources d'erreur sur le transfert et envisager des solutions pouvant améliorer la performance de la méthode. Le corpus qui sera utilisé pour cette étude est la partie anglais-français du corpus Europarl (Koehn, 2005). Profil : le/la stagiaire devra avoir un profil linguistique multilingue et un intérêt pour les problématiques du traitement de la langue. Des compétences en informatique seront appréciées mais ne sont pas indispensables. Durée : 4 mois Date de début : dès disponibilité Niveau : Master 1 ou 2 Lieu : LIMSI-CNRS, Groupe ILES rue John von Neumann, Université Paris Sud 91403 Orsay Cedex Salaire: le/la stagiaire recevra la gratification CNRS standard (de l'ordre de 436 €/mois).

We are explicitly calling for papers that have a potentially high impact on a specific community or application domain (e.g. pharmacy and life sciences), as well as for papers which report on the development or evaluation of publicly available data sets relevant for a large number of applications. Moreover, we welcome contributions dealing with problems specific to modeling and maintenance of real-world data or knowledge, such as scalability and robustness of knowledge-based applications, or privacy and provenance issues related to organizational knowledge management. In addition to the main research track, EKAW 2012 will feature a tutorial and workshop program, as well as a poster and demo track. Moreover, there will be a Doctoral Consortium giving new PhD students a possibility to present their research proposals, and to get feedback on methodological and practical aspects of their planned dissertation. The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series. The LNCS volume will contain the contributed research papers as well as descriptions of the demos presented at the conference. Papers published at any of the workshops will be published in dedicated workshop proceedings. EKAW 2012 welcomes papers dealing with theoretical, methodological, experimental, and application-oriented aspects of knowledge engineering and knowledge management. In particular, but not exclusively, we solicit papers about methods, tools and methodologies relevant with regard to the following topics: 1) “Knowledge Management and Knowledge Engineering that matters” - Real-world applications of methods for knowledge management and engineering in domains such as - e-Government and public administration - Life sciences, health and medicine - Automotive and manufacturing industry - Cultural heritage applications - Digital libraries - Development and evaluation of publicly available knowledge repositories for new applications or domains - Methods and methodologies addressing the challenges of real-world data, e.g., - Scalability, robustness etc. - Maintenance costs and financial risks - Privacy and data security - Lessons learned from case studies, e.g., - Knowledge management in large organizations - Adoption of semantic web technologies - Maintenance of corporate knowledge repositories 2) Knowledge Management - Methodologies and tools for knowledge management - Knowledge sharing and distribution, collaboration - Best practices and lessons learned from case studies - Provenance and trust in knowledge management - Methods for accelerating take-up of knowledge management technologies - Corporate memories for knowledge management - Evolution, maintenance and preservation of knowledge - Web 2.0 technologies for knowledge management - Incentives for human knowledge acquisition (e.g. games with a purpose) 3) Knowledge Engineering and Acquisition - Tools and methodologies for ontology engineering - Ontology design patterns - Ontology localization - Ontology alignment - Knowledge authoring and semantic annotation - Knowledge acquisition from non-ontological resources (thesauri, folksonomies etc.) - Semi-automatic knowledge acquisition, e.g., ontology learning - Mining the Semantic Web and the Web of Data - Ontology evaluation and metrics - Uncertainty and vagueness in knowledge representation - Dealing with dynamic, distributed and emerging knowledge 4) Social and Cognitive Aspects of Knowledge Representation - Knowledge representation inspired by cognitive science - Synergies between humans and machines - Knowledge emerging from user interaction and networks - Knowledge ecosystems - Expert finding, e.g., by social network analysis - Trust and privacy in knowledge representation - Collaborative and social approaches to knowledge management and acquisition - Crowdsourcing in knowledge management As last EKAW conference we will accept different types of papers. The papers will all have the same status and follow the same formatting guidelines in the proceedings but will receive special treatment during the reviewing phase. In particular, each paper type will be subject to own evaluation criteria. The PC will also make sure that there is a reasonable balance of the paper types accepted. At submission time the paper has to be clearly identified as belonging to one of the following categories. - Research papers: These are “standard” papers presenting a novel method, technique or analysis with appropriate empirical or other types of evaluation as proof-of concept. The main evaluation criteria here will be originality, technical soundness and validation. - In-use papers: Here we are expecting papers describing applications of knowledge management and engineering in real environments. Applications need to address a sufficiently interesting and challenging problem on real-world datasets, involving many users etc. The focus is less on the originality of the approach and more on presenting systems that solve a significant problem while addressing the particular challenges that come with the use of real-world data. Evaluations should involve a representative subset of the actual users of the system. - Position papers: We invite researchers to also publish position papers which describe novel and innovative ideas. Position papers may also comprise an analysis of currently unsolved problems, or review theses problems from a new perspective, in order contribute to a better understanding of these problem in the research community. We expect that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a certain problem or explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, possibly corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments. Submissions of research and in-use papers should comprise a maximum of 15 pages formatted according to Springer Verlag LNCS guidelines and uploaded using Easychair ( http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ekaw2012). Position papers are required to have at most 5 pages in the same format. We will select the best papers from EKAW and invite the authors for a special edition of Journal of Data Semantics.

Résumé Eugen Wüster (1898-1977) est considéré comme le père fondateur de la terminologie moderne. Il n’est donc pas étonnant que l’on parle de lui. Mais on notera que, en France du moins, c’est souvent pour le décrier : on cherche à se démarquer de lui. Quelles sont les attitudes des linguistes, des lexicographes, des terminologues, des sociolinguistes et des socioterminologues, des normalisateurs à son égard ? On donnera quelques éléments de réponse à ces questions. On cherchera surtout à s’expliquer certaines de ces attitudes et à mieux comprendre certains débats. Mais connaît-on suffisamment Wüster, cet industriel allemand, né en Autriche, ingénieur, par ailleurs terminologue et linguiste autodidacte autrichien, et pour qui, en 1972, on créa même un poste à l’université de Vienne ? Sans doute pas, et ses prises de position continuent à être évoquées sans que ses écrits soient cités avec précision. Wüster a porté des casquettes variées, il a beaucoup écrit, dans des voies très différentes les unes des autres, et toutes ces facettes ne sont pas connues de la majorité des spécialistes qui l’évoquent dans leurs écrits, loin de là. Il sera naturellement indispensable de rappeler quelques-uns des apports de Wüster, et l’attitude qui était la sienne vis-à-vis de divers spécialistes ou de diverses spécialités. L’activité et l’œuvre de cet ingénieur font certes de lui un extrémiste de la terminologie et de la normalisation. Et cette terminologie pure et dure de Wüster, qui sert de référence, en fonction de laquelle on peut aisément se positionner pour en prendre globalement le contre-pied et pour mieux assurer ses propres positions, joue en somme le rôle d’une borne bien commode.

L’évolution des systèmes d’information ainsi que des pratiques informationnelles en milieu professionnel comme dans la sphère privée conduit à un développement des fonctions information et documentation hors de leurs sphères d’exercice traditionnelles. Cette évolution est due à la prise de conscience, dans tous les secteurs, du caractère stratégique de la gestion de l’information et de sa valorisation. De plus, la généralisation du recours aux réseaux numériques nécessite la mobilisation de compétences fortes et pluridisciplinaires ainsi que de professionnels bien formés dans le domaine de l’information-communication, à tous les niveaux de l’entreprise. La spécialité SID forme de futurs cadres capables d’appréhender et de résoudre les problèmes spécifiques liés à la production, la circulation, l’archivage des documents ainsi que de la valorisation des savoirs. Tous les parcours de cette spécialité reposent sur le même socle de compétences mais correspondent à des métiers qui mobilisent plus particulièrement certaines d’entre elles. L’offre de formation du master ICCD, pour les trois spécialités dont SID, tout en étant en connexion étroite avec les différents univers professionnels des trois spécialités, est pensée dans une perspective ouverte sur la recherche et permet ainsi la poursuite en thèse pour ceux qui le peuvent et le souhaitent. L’adossement à la recherche des différents parcours ICCD permet à la fois la poursuite en thèse pour ceux qui le souhaitent et le peuvent et contribuent à la mise en place de certaines formes d’expertise et de réflexivité sur les pratiques et les situations, indispensables à l’exercice des métiers de la communication/documentation à Bac+5. La formation s’appuie, sur un potentiel de recherche interdisciplinaire particulièrement important et sur un réseau affirmé de partenaires avec les entreprises et autres organisations. Les séminaires et autres manifestations scientifiques qui y sont développées, sont orientés selon trois directions principales, correspondant à trois équipes du laboratoire GERIICO : http://geriico.recherche.univ-lille3.fr/ Responsable pédagogique de la spécialité SID : Widad Mustafa El Hadi Responsable pédagogique de la spécialité Doc-MSER : Yolande Maury Responsable pédagogique du M1 : Joachim Schopfel Trois parcours M2 sont offerts par la spécialité SID et un parcours à dominante recherche en Sciences de l’information et de la communication GIDE Le parcours Gestion de l’Information et des Documents pour l’Entreprise est consacré aux systèmes d’information documentaire (conception, gestion, audit). De la gestion de l’information et des connaissances (knowledge management, travail collaboratif)), à l’archivistique et au records management, en passant par les différentes modalités de la gestion électronique de document, ce sont tous les aspects des systèmes documentaires et de leur usage dans des contextes spécifiques qui sont étudiés. L’accent est mis, par ailleurs, sur la gestion de projet et la méthodologie de l’audit afin de former tant aux métiers opérationnels qu’à ceux du conseil aux entreprises dans ce domaine. Responsable pédagogique de la formation : Laurence Favier IDEMM Le parcours Ingéniérie documentaire, édition et médiation multimédia est orienté vers la production éditoriale et informatique de contenus dans des dispositifs de diffusion d’informations et de connaissances. Les domaines concernés sont ceux du document, de l’édition numérique et de la médiation en ligne. Les étudiants sont préparés à conduire ou à intégrer des équipes avec une double compétence : celle de spécialiste de la conception de documents multimédia destinés à être publiés en ligne et celle relevant de la communication par des dispositifs de médiation numérique. En effet, avec l’avènement de nouvelles technologies, les produits d’information et de communication, au centre d'enjeux considérables, nécessitent une qualité de production et de gestion de contenus irréprochable. Responsable pédagogique de la formation : Agnieszka Smolczewska Tona PRISME Le parcours Produits d’Information Spécialisée et Médiation Electronique vise à former des professionnels de la veille informationnelle, de l’ingénierie documentaire et, plus généralement, de la gestion des contenus numériques. À l’issue de la formation, les étudiants sont en mesure de concevoir et réaliser des produits et systèmes d’information répondant aux besoins exprimés dans différents contextes (entreprises, collectivités territoriales, organismes publics…), et en particulier de mettre en place un processus de veille adapté. Ils peuvent ainsi s’intégrer aisément dans les réseaux de veille et les centres de documentation existants, ou rejoindre les structures spécialisées dans la médiation de l’information (courtiers, analystes, conseils…). Responsable pédagogique de la formation : Stéphane Chaudiron Un Parcours à dominante recherche en Sciences de l’information et de la Communication, Parcours transversal aux 3 spécialités de la Mention ICCD SCCD Le parcours Société, Communication, Culture, Documentation propose une formation à la recherche – par la recherche mais aussi en étroite connexion avec les terrains professionnels – en Sciences de l’Information et de la Communication. Il se donne ainsi pour objectif de fournir aux étudiants les principaux balisages théoriques et repères conceptuels fondant le champ scientifique de cette discipline, de les éclairer sur les problématiques de ce champ, de les amener à bien identifier et maîtriser les différentes procédures méthodologiques afin qu’ils puissent mettre en œuvre, par eux-mêmes, une démarche de recherche. En ce sens, il vise les métiers et fonctions liées à l’analyse des enjeux et à la recherche. Prenant appui sur les axes de recherche développés par GERIICO (analyse des médias et des pratiques médiatiques, approches culturelles, communication organisationnelle, sciences de l’information et du document…), il est spécifique, dans la région et globalement dans la zone située au nord de Paris, par la pluralité des approches qu’il propose pour analyser et concevoir des dispositifs info-communicationnels. Le parcours SCCD peut conduire à la poursuite d’études en Sciences de l’Information et de la communication pour les étudiants qui souhaitent continuer en doctorat et s’orienter vers les métiers de la recherche. Le doctorat est accueilli au sein de l’Ecole doctorale régionale en SHS. Responsable pédagogique de la formation : Widad Mustafa El Hadi La Spécialité Doc-MSER (Médiation des Savoirs pour l’Enseignement et la Recherche) http://www.univ-lille3.fr/fr/ufr-idist/formation/ La spécialité Documentation-Médiation des Savoirs pour l’Enseignement et la Recherche (Doc-MSER) propose une formation de spécialistes en information-documentation amenés à intervenir dans les secteurs de l’éducation, de la formation et/ou de la culture. Elle assure plus spécifiquement une préparation aux concours de recrutement des professeurs-documentalistes de l’Education nationale et aux métiers de la Documentation dans des administrations, des entreprises ou des services affichant une finalité éducative et/ou culturelle. Le Master DOC-MSER intègre une formation à la recherche, et il est possible, sous certaines conditions, de poursuivre des études en Doctorat (accès sur dossier), dans le domaine des sciences de l'information et de la communication. La spécialité Documentation-MSER est conçue selon une logique de progression sur deux ans, orientée par le double objectif d’obtention du master et de préparation aux épreuves écrites et orales du Capes. Le Master 1, bâti en cohérence avec la spécialité SID, sensibilise au monde professionnel de l’information-documentation et forme sur la base d’un tronc commun aux concepts et modèles des SIC. A l’issue de la première année, les étudiants sont capables de comprendre les concepts majeurs des sciences de l’information et de la documentation, de maîtriser les techniques de traitement de l’information et de gestion des connaissances, et d’analyser et évaluer les politiques éducatives et scientifiques des institutions, dans une perspective de valorisation, de médiation et de communication. Le Master 2 est centré sur la Médiation des savoirs, afin de permettre à chaque étudiant d’acquérir les connaissances nécessaires pour se présenter aux épreuves du concours, et développer les compétences spécifiques aux métiers de la Documentation pour l’enseignement et/ou l’éducation. En fin de formation, les étudiants doivent être en mesure de concevoir, manager, et faire évoluer un système d’information documentaire, d’analyser les pratiques culturelles et informationnelles des usagers, de prendre en charge des séquences de formation à l’information-documentation, et de se projeter en tant qu’acteurs responsables d’un ensemble de missions de gestion, d’éducation et de communication.

It serves researchers and practitioners working on * natural language processing (NLP) applications or language resources * theoretical and implementation aspects, or * their combinations that have obvious relevance or an explicitly discussed relation to Finite-State Methods in NLP. This year, the Finite-State Methods and Natural Language Processing (FSMNLP) workshop is part of the Alan Turing Year on the occasion of the Centenary Celebration of his life and work. TOPICS FSMNLP invites papers related to themes including but not limited to: * NLP applications and linguistic aspects of finite-state methods * Finite-state models of language * Practices for building morphological models for the world's languages using finite-state technology * Machine learning of finite-state models of natural language * Finite-state manipulation software and tools with relevance to NLP ==== SPECIAL THEME: FINITE-STATE NLP IN PRACTICE ==== FSMNLP 2012 will have a special focus on the following topics: * Practical implementations of linguistic descriptions with finite-state technology, including grammars, machine learning tools, language-specific challenges to finite-state NLP * Software tools and utilities for finite-state NLP * Finite-state models of linguistic theories * Applications of finite-state-based NLP in closely related fields such as comparative linguistics, text processing, field linguistics, applied linguistics, language teaching, and computer-aided translation. The special theme does not restrict the scope of papers; rather, the purpose is to attract, apart from other topics, a variety of submissions relating to any practical dimension of finite-state NLP. Especially welcome are succinct short paper (see format below) submissions focused on some specific practical aspect or solution of finite-state NLP. This could be related to e.g. a grammar, a linguistic phenomenon, a linguistic modeling problem, a machine learning problem, or a software tool that implements or uses finite-state technology. We hope that the theme provides us with the possibility of organizing suitable poster, short presentation, and demo sessions related to particular practical problems. For example, today, a large number of languages have morphological/phonological models based on finite-state technology. While most such implementations follow standard design patterns, many grammars also contain elegant non-trivial solutions to some language-specific modeling problem (vowel harmony, reduplication, long-distance agreement, opaque phonological alternations, free variation, morphosyntactic restrictions, etc.). For this year's FSMNLP, we encourage submissions of short papers that focus on documenting such solutions, at the same time providing context by summarizing the development and implementation of the overall grammar. PREVIOUS EDITIONS Nine FSMNLP workshops have been organized in the past in: Blois (2011), Pretoria (2009), Ispra (2008), Potsdam (2007), Helsinki (2005), Budapest (2003), Helsinki (2001), Ankara (1998), Budapest (1996). RELATED EVENTS FSMNLP 2012 will be organized shortly before CIAA. The 17th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata (CIAA) will take place in Porto, Portugal on July 17-20, 2012 (800 km from Donostia-San Sebastián). These consecutive periods as well as the European locations facilitate the attendance at both conferences. IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: April 23, 2012 Notification: May 31, 2012 Camera-ready Version: June 18, 2012 Workshop Dates: July 23: tutorials& mini-workshops. July 24-25: main session, poster and demo sessions. SUBMISSIONS Papers should present original, unpublished research and implementation results. Simultaneous submission to other venues with published proceedings is prohibited. FSMNLP accepts two kinds of submissions: * full papers (8 pages + references) reporting completed, significant research, * short papers (4 pages + references) reporting ongoing work and partial results, implementations, grammars, practical tools, interactive software demos, etc. Short papers are expected to be presented as system demos in a demo session, posters and/or short presentations, while long papers are presented in a longer presentation session. Both paper types are published in the ACL anthology. All submissions are electronic and in PDF format via a web-based submission server. Authors are strongly encouraged to use ACL (2012) style (available for LaTeX and Word) in producing the PDF document. These templates are available at: http://acl2012.org/call/sub01.asp Information about the author(s) and other identifying information such as obvious self-references (e.g., "We showed in [12] ...") and financial or personal acknowledgements should be omitted in the submitted papers whenever feasible. Papers will be submitted electronically in PDF using the EasyChair system. The paper can contain a clearly marked appendix and data files to support your claims. This material will not be published. While reviewers are urged to consult this extra material for better comprehension, it is at their discretion whether they do so. Such extra material should also be anonymized to the extent feasible. Use the following link for submission: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fsmnlp2012 The papers and abstracts will be published in FSMNLP 2012 proceedings and archived in the ACL Anthology. The publication of selected, revised versions of accepted papers in a special journal issue is planned.

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, up to 15 pages, A4 page format) by May 9, 2012. 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=psc2012). For their final version the papers are required to be prepared using the LaTeX style available at http://www.stringology.org/pscproc2 which has an interface compatible to the standard 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. A special issue for 2010 and 2011 is prepared for Discrete Applied Mathematics. LOCATION & PUBLICATION: PSC'12 will be held at the Department of Theoretical Computer Science the Czech Technical University in Prague on August 27-29, 2012. (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.

This is the goal of Automatic Summarization, which aims at producing a concise document, keeping the essential information of a document or set of documents. Research into Automatic Summarization began in the 50s with the purpose of summarizing scientific texts. However, the interest for this type of documents decreased, while the interest in news article summarization grew. Recently, new challenges have appeared in this research area. In the context of the Internet, not only is information being constantly updated, but there is also a lack of quality control of what is being published on the Web. Social networks, blogs, reviews, etc. are non-traditional texts of informal nature, and they therefore constitute a big challenge for the new generation of summaries. High quality documentation such as technical/scientific articles and patents has not received in the past years all the attention that the field deserves. However, given the explosion of technical documentation available on the Web and in intranets, scientific and research and development institutions face a true scientific information deluge. Therefore, summarization should be a key instrument not only for reducing information content in this field but also for measuring information relevance in context, providing users with adequate answers in context. Another challenge for automatic summarization is the generation of abstracts, where it is necessary to take into consideration natural language generation techniques and be able to adapt them from one domain to another. In addition to these, efforts are needed to produce summaries in languages other than English and in multiple languages. Therefore, the main goal of the 1st Workshop on Automatic Text Summarization of the Future is to bring together researchers working on Automatic Summarization, encouraging research into little explored areas such as new textual gentres as well as old, forgotten ones, or summarization in languages other than English (for instance, Spanish). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT DATES: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Papers submission deadline: 15 June 2012 Notification of decisions to authors: 15 July 2012 Workshop date: 7th September 2012 Camera-ready: 20 July 2012 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBMISSIONS: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We will accept full paper contributions for the workshop.

La masse de travail nécessaire pour créer manuellement les dictionnaires bilingues est importante. C'est la raison pour laquelle depuis quelques années de nombreuses approches de construction automatique de ces dictionnaires ont été proposées. Le stage consistera, d'une part, à constituer un corpus de référence de textes parallèles et d'autre part, à évaluer les principaux composants du module de construction et de mise à jour de dictionnaires bilingues développé au CEA-LIST. Cette évaluation se fera selon deux approches différentes : - Une évaluation manuelle comparant les résultats du module d'alignement de mots simples, de mots composés et d'expressions par rapport à un alignement de référence ; - Une évaluation automatique en intégrant les résultats du module d'alignement de mots dans la table de traduction du système de traduction statistique open source Moses. Ce stage comportera les étapes suivantes: - Appropriation des principaux composants du module de construction et de mise à jour de dictionnaires bilingues. - Constitution d'un corpus de référence composé de textes parallèles multilingues. - Mise en place d'outils d'évaluation du module d'alignement de mots simples, de mots composés et d'expressions. - Spécification et implémentation du module de nettoyage des dictionnaires bilingues construits ou mis à jour automatiquement. - Développement d'une interface graphique pour la gestion de la construction et de la mise à jour de dictionnaires bilingues.

L’interopérabilité sémantique en santé s’appuie donc sur un ensemble de ressources et de services permettant à un système d’information de lier les données recueillies avec les connaissances générales du domaine et permettant une optimisation des dossiers patients informatisés pour un usage multiple : le soin, la santé publique et la recherche clinique à travers plusieurs systèmes de santé et plusieurs institutions. La question de l’interopérabilité sémantique en santé est en pleine expansion au niveau européen comme en témoigne les nombreux projets financés dans le programme du FP7, mais également en France avec le déploiement du Dossier Médical Personnel mi-Janvier 2012.

Conf. on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (EKAW 2012) Message-ID: Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2012 17:09:23 +0200 From: Annette ten Teije Message-ID: X-url: http://ekaw2012.ekaw.org Extended Deadline Abstract Submission: April 30th, 2012 Extended Deadline Full Paper Submission: May 4th, 2012 Call for Papers: 18th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (EKAW 2012) National University of Ireland Galway Quadrangle October 8-12, 2012. http://ekaw2012.ekaw.org The 18th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management is concerned with all aspects of eliciting, acquiring, modeling and managing knowledge, and its role in the construction of knowledge-intensive systems and services for the semantic web, knowledge management, e-business, natural language processing, intelligent information integration, etc. The special focus of the 18th edition of EKAW will be on "Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management that matters". We are explicitly calling for papers that have a potentially high impact on a specific community or application domain (e.g. pharmacy and life sciences), as well as for papers which report on the development or evaluation of publicly available data sets relevant for a large number of applications. Moreover, we welcome contributions dealing with problems specific to modeling and maintenance of real-world data or knowledge, such as scalability and robustness of knowledge-based applications, or privacy and provenance issues related to organizational knowledge management. In addition to the main research track, EKAW 2012 will feature a tutorial and workshop program, as well as a poster and demo track. Moreover, there will be a Doctoral Consortium giving new PhD students a possibility to present their research proposals, and to get feedback on methodological and practical aspects of their planned dissertation. The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series. The LNCS volume will contain the contributed research papers as well as descriptions of the demos presented at the conference. Papers published at any of the workshops will be published in dedicated workshop proceedings. EKAW 2012 welcomes papers dealing with theoretical, methodological, experimental, and application-oriented aspects of knowledge engineering and knowledge management. In particular, but not exclusively, we solicit papers about methods, tools and methodologies relevant with regard to the following topics: 1) “Knowledge Management and Knowledge Engineering that matters” - Real-world applications of methods for knowledge management and engineering in domains such as - e-Government and public administration - Life sciences, health and medicine - Automotive and manufacturing industry - Cultural heritage applications - Digital libraries - Development and evaluation of publicly available knowledge repositories for new applications or domains - Methods and methodologies addressing the challenges of real-world data, e.g., - Scalability, robustness etc. - Maintenance costs and financial risks - Privacy and data security - Lessons learned from case studies, e.g., - Knowledge management in large organizations - Adoption of semantic web technologies - Maintenance of corporate knowledge repositories 2) Knowledge Management - Methodologies and tools for knowledge management - Knowledge sharing and distribution, collaboration - Best practices and lessons learned from case studies - Provenance and trust in knowledge management - Methods for accelerating take-up of knowledge management technologies - Corporate memories for knowledge management - Evolution, maintenance and preservation of knowledge - Web 2.0 technologies for knowledge management - Incentives for human knowledge acquisition (e.g. games with a purpose) 3) Knowledge Engineering and Acquisition - Tools and methodologies for ontology engineering - Ontology design patterns - Ontology localization - Ontology alignment - Knowledge authoring and semantic annotation - Knowledge acquisition from non-ontological resources (thesauri, folksonomies etc.) - Semi-automatic knowledge acquisition, e.g., ontology learning - Mining the Semantic Web and the Web of Data - Ontology evaluation and metrics - Uncertainty and vagueness in knowledge representation - Dealing with dynamic, distributed and emerging knowledge 4) Social and Cognitive Aspects of Knowledge Representation - Knowledge representation inspired by cognitive science - Synergies between humans and machines - Knowledge emerging from user interaction and networks - Knowledge ecosystems - Expert finding, e.g., by social network analysis - Trust and privacy in knowledge representation - Collaborative and social approaches to knowledge management and acquisition - Crowdsourcing in knowledge management As last EKAW conference we will accept different types of papers. The papers will all have the same status and follow the same formatting guidelines in the proceedings but will receive special treatment during the reviewing phase. In particular, each paper type will be subject to own evaluation criteria. The PC will also make sure that there is a reasonable balance of the paper types accepted. At submission time the paper has to be clearly identified as belonging to one of the following categories. - Research papers: These are “standard” papers presenting a novel method, technique or analysis with appropriate empirical or other types of evaluation as proof-of concept. The main evaluation criteria here will be originality, technical soundness and validation. - In-use papers: Here we are expecting papers describing applications of knowledge management and engineering in real environments. Applications need to address a sufficiently interesting and challenging problem on real-world datasets, involving many users etc. The focus is less on the originality of the approach and more on presenting systems that solve a significant problem while addressing the particular challenges that come with the use of real-world data. Evaluations should involve a representative subset of the actual users of the system. - Position papers: We invite researchers to also publish position papers which describe novel and innovative ideas. Position papers may also comprise an analysis of currently unsolved problems, or review theses problems from a new perspective, in order contribute to a better understanding of these problem in the research community. We expect that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a certain problem or explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, possibly corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments. Submissions of research and in-use papers should comprise a maximum of 15 pages formatted according to Springer Verlag LNCS guidelines and uploaded using Easychair ( http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ekaw2012). Position papers are required to have at most 5 pages in the same format. We will select the best papers from EKAW and invite the authors for a special edition of Journal of Data Semantics.

Problématique Peu de ressources sont aujourd'hui disponibles pour évaluer les applications du Web sémantique. La plupart des ontologies disponibles sur le web (comme DBPedia, MusicBrainz, ...) ou proposées lors de campagnes d'évaluation (QALD dans le domaine des Questions/Réponses, Billion Triples Track pour évaluer le passage à l'échelle des applications, ...) présentent des lacunes qui empêchent une évaluation de qualité des applications développées. Certaines de ces ontologies manquent d'expressivité. Lorsqu'elles sont formées d'une simple hiérarchie de concepts ou sont issues de schémas relationnels, elles offrent des possibilités d'inférence limitées. D'autres sont limitées en termes d'exhaustivité, même au sein d'un domaine. Le domaine couvert est restreint et il est fréquent que peu d'instances soient représentées. Pour contourner ce manque, les travaux menés actuellement sont évalués sur des ontologies créées pour valoriser l'application. Ces ontologies sont complétées par des jeux de données (textes bruts, documents annotés, requêtes, ...) là aussi définis de façon ad hoc. Ces pratiques biaisent les résultats de l'évaluation et empêchent de mettre en place une comparaison objective des systèmes. L'objectif de cet atelier est de décrire les besoins et de définir les critères auxquels doivent répondre les ontologies et les jeux de données qui pourront être mises à disposition de la communauté, permettant ainsi des évaluations pertinentes des applications les utilisant. Cet atelier a également pour vocation la présentation documentée et argumentée de ressources (ontologies et jeux de données) qui pourraient prétendre correspondre à des besoins d'évaluation ainsi que de protocoles d'évaluation d'applications, qui serviraient par la suite de référence. Les soumissions pourront être applicables notamment aux thématiques suivantes : - Construction, peuplement et évolution d'ontologie - Alignement et fusion - Systèmes de Question/Réponse - Comparaison des approches de Recherche d'Information et des moteurs sémantiques - Annotation sémantique et description de contenus - Passage à l'échelle - Linked data - Ressources spécifiques au français Chaque présentation devra précisément présenter les objectifs d'évaluation visés, les critères identifiés pour y répondre et éventuellement une ontologie et un jeu de données permettant cette évaluation. Les auteurs souhaitant participer à l'atelier devront fournir un article allant de 5 à 15 pages au format demandé à la conférence, et pourront rendre disponible sur le web leurs ressources 15 jours avant la date de l'atelier. La mise en ligne permettra une discussion plus approfondie des ressources proposées. Les papiers devront suivre le format d'IC et devront être soumis via le système EasyChair.Les articles seront mis en ligne et publiés sous forme de workshop CEUR.

Information and knowledge are crucial resources in collaborative networks, being their management fundamental processes to optimize.**** Knowledge organisation and collaboration systems are thus important instruments for the success of collaborative networks of organisations having been researched in the last decade in the areas of computer science, information science, management sciences, terminology and linguistics. Nevertheless, research in this area didn’t give much attention to multilingual contexts of collaboration, which pose specific and challenging problems. It is then clear that access to and representation of knowledge will happen more and more on a multilingual setting which implies the overcoming of difficulties inherent to the presence of multiple languages, through the use of processes like localization of ontologies. **** Although localization, like other processes that involve multilingualism, is a rather well-developed practice and its methodologies and tools fruitfully employed by the language industry in the development and adaptation of multilingual content, it has not yet been sufficiently explored as an element of support to the development of knowledge representations - in particular ontologies - expressed in more than one language. Multilingual knowledge representation is then an open research area calling for cross-contributions from knowledge engineering, terminology, ontology engineering, cognitive sciences, computational linguistics, natural language processing, and management sciences.**** This workshop intends to join researchers interested in multilingual knowledge representation, in a multidisciplinary environment to debate the possibilities of cross-fertilization between knowledge engineering, terminology, ontology engineering, cognitive sciences, computational linguistics, natural language processing, and management sciences applied to contexts where multilingualism continuously creates new and demanding challenges to current knowledge representation methods and techniques.**** ** ** Workshop Co-located with TKE 2012 conference Universidad Politécnica de Madrid**** *CALL FOR PAPERS* ** ** TOPICS OF INTEREST**** Papers are invited on, but not limited to, the following topics: - Collaborative processes in multilingual terminology work - Multilingual ontology development and maintenance - Interfaces between multilingual terminology work and ontology development - Multilingual collaborative conceptualization processes and representation of knowledge - Multilingual knowledge organisation systems and collaboration - Cross-lingual knowledge access - Localization strategies for knowledge representation - Localization of ontologies to multiple languages - Multilingual and cross-lingual information extraction and ontology population - Representation of multilingual information and language resources in the Semantic Web - Theoretical models in multilingual terminology work ** ** SUBMISSIONS We invite you to submit papers reporting on completed activity including concrete evaluation results.

Vous y êtes cordialement invités ainsi qu'au pot qui suivra. Yann Desalle Titre de la thèse: Réseaux lexicaux, Métaphore, Acquisition: une approche interdisciplinaire et inter-linguistique du lexique verbal Adresse de la soutenance: Salle D 29, Maison De la Recherche, Université de Toulouse 2 - Le Mirail, 5 allées Antonio Machado 31058 Toulouse. Jury: Jean-Luc Nespoulous, Professeur à l'Université de Toulouse 2 – Le Mirail (Directeur) Bruno Gaume, Chargé de Recherche au CNRS (Co-directeur) Henriëtte Hendriks, Professeur à l'Université de Cambridge (Rapporteur) Pierre Zweigenbaum, Directeur de Recherche au CNRS (Rapporteur) Karine Duvignau, Professeur à l'Université de Toulouse 2 – Le Mirail (Examinateur) Gerard Steen, Professeur à l'Université Vrije d'Amsterdam (Examinateur) Alain Polguère, Professeur à l'Université de Lorraine (Examinateur) Résumé: Souvent, lorsque les locuteurs d'une langue n'ont pas accès à l'item conventionnel pour étiqueter un objet ou un événement, ils étendent, consciemment ou inconsciemment, le sens d'un autre item lexical disponible. Ce phénomène se produit particulièrement au cours de la phase d'acquisition lexicale des jeunes enfants. Lorsqu'une telle sur-extension sémantique va au-delà de la catégorie d'objet ou d'événement conventionnellement dénotée par l'item lexical produit, il s'agit d'une sur-extension catégorielle et l'énoncé produit est d'allure métaphorique: par exemple, « déshabiller la pomme » pour l'action peler une pomme est un énoncé d'allure métaphorique. Tout d'abord, cette thèse a permis de développer SLAM, un système de résolution lexicale automatique des métaphores produites en situation de manque du mot. SLAM s'appuie, d'une part, sur l'analyse syntaxique de grands corpus et, d'autre part, sur la structure Petit Monde Hiérarchique des réseaux lexicaux de synonymie. Par exemple, à partir des énoncés « elle déshabille* la pomme » ou « les bras* de l'arbre », SLAM permet d'obtenir les interprétations suivantes: respectivement, « elle pèle une pomme » et « les branches de l'arbre ». Ensuite, cette thèse a permis d'étudier spécifiquement la dynamique d'acquisition du lexique des verbes qui se stabilise après celui des noms. D'une part, des outils méthodologiques pour l'étude inter-linguistique de la dynamique d'acquisition du lexique des verbes ont été élaborés: (a) un cadre méthodologique pour la construction de procédures d'identification des sur-extensions sémantiques catégorielles des verbes; (b) une méthodologie pour le repérage des stimuli visuels d'action sans biais culturel. D'autre part, les liens entre la structure des réseaux lexicaux de synonymie et la dynamique d'acquisition du lexique des verbes en français et en mandarin ont été mis au jour. Après avoir pointé des différences dans la dynamique d'acquisition du lexique des verbes par les jeunes enfants natifs du français et du mandarin, cette étude a servi à la construction du score REFLEX, mesure du degré d'acquisition du lexique des verbes, qui permet de catégoriser automatiquement les jeunes enfants vs adultes en français et en mandarin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Apr 28 19:55:41 2012 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2012 21:55:41 +0200 Subject: Appel: Atelier IC pour l'Interoperabilite Semantique en e-Sante, Date limite etendue Message-ID: Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2012 11:37:59 +0200 From: Lina Soualmia Message-ID: X-url: http://ic2012.crc.jussieu.fr/ *** REPORT DE LA DATE LIMITE au 7 Mai 2012 *** Atelier IC pour l’Interopérabilité Sémantique dans les applications en e-Santé Paris, Mardi 26 Juin 2012 https://sites.google.com/site/icisante2012/ en conjonction avec les 23èmes Journées francophones d’Ingénierie des Connaissances http://ic2012.crc.jussieu.fr/ ******************************************************************** L’Agence des Systèmes d'Information Partagés en Santé (ASIP) définit l’interopérabilité sémantique entre systèmes d’information dans les domaines santé et médico-social de la façon suivante: « La capacité qu’ont plusieurs systèmes d’échanger de l’information entre eux et d’utiliser l’information qui a été échangée, pour que les utilisateurs de ces systèmes puissent en tirer parti dans leurs actes et leurs décisions, pour le mieux-être de leurs patients. » En général, pour y parvenir, le respect de normes et de standards partagés est nécessaire. L’interopérabilité sémantique en santé s’appuie donc sur un ensemble de ressources et de services permettant à un système d’information de lier les données recueillies avec les connaissances générales du domaine et permettant une optimisation des dossiers patients informatisés pour un usage multiple : le soin, la santé publique et la recherche clinique à travers plusieurs systèmes de santé et plusieurs institutions. La question de l’interopérabilité sémantique en santé est en pleine expansion au niveau européen comme en témoigne les nombreux projets financés dans le programme du FP7, mais également en France avec le déploiement du Dossier Médical Personnel mi-Janvier 2012. L’objectif de cet atelier est de réunir les travaux traitant des ressources et bases de connaissances pour l'interopérabilité sémantique en santé (partage et réutilisation) sous divers aspects : leur construction, leur évaluation, les langages et standards pour les représenter. Il s’agit de rassembler des chercheurs issus des mondes académique et industriel pour débattre de la question de l’interopérabilité sémantique en santé à travers la présentation d’activités de recherche innovantes, de techniques, de technologies et de démonstrateurs développés dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre de solutions d’interopérabilité sémantique dans le domaine médical. ========= THEMES ========= Nous sollicitons des propositions de communication portant sur le thème de la construction de ressources et de bases de connaissances pour faciliter l'interopérabilité sémantique au sein d’applications médicales (dossiers patients, systèmes d’information hospitaliers ...) Les discussions pourront être organisées autour des thématiques (non exhaustives) suivantes : ** Terminologies et Ontologies médicales : Interopérabilité sémantique des contenus médicaux, Méthodes d'alignement de terminologies et d'ontologies, Indexation terminologique de dossiers médicaux de patients et de récits cliniques, Formalismes et langages de représentation, Apports de la sémantique dans la pratique médicale ... ** Intégration de données multi-sources : Entrepôts de données biomédicales Partage et réutilisation des données … ** Extraction de l’information et de connaissances à partir de contenus médicaux : construction de bases de connaissances, fouille de données fouille de textes … ** Utilisation de l’interopérabilité sémantique : pour l’aide à la décision, la recherche d’information, l'indexation… ============ SOUMISSIONS ============ Les chercheurs travaillant sur les thématiques de l’Interopérabilité Sémantique pour les applications en e-santé sont invités à soumettre des contributions jusqu'à *6* pages au format *** PDF** *conformes au modèle de documents de la conférence IC : Modèle LaTeX : http://ic2012.crc.jussieu.fr/style_latex_IC2012.zip Modèle Word : http://ic2012.crc.jussieu.fr/style_word_IC2012.doc Les contributions pourront être envoyées par courriel jusqu'au 30/04 à ic.isante at gmail.com ========= DATES ========= Réception des articles : report au 7 Mai 2012 Réponse aux auteurs : 28 Mai 2012 Version finale : 4 Juin 2012 Atelier : Mardi 26 Juin 2012 ========= COMITE ========= Florence Amerdeilh, Mondeca Sandra Bringay, LIRMM, Université Montpellier 2 Rémy Choquet, INSERM Equ20 Marc Cuggia, INSERM U936, Université Rennes 1 Olivier Dameron, INSERM U936, Université Rennes 1 Christel Daniel, INSERM Equ20 Stefan Darmoni, LITIS, Université de Rouen Catherine Duclos, LIM&Bio, Université Paris 13 Bruno Frandji, Medasys Marie-Christine Jaulent, INSERM Equ 20 Clément Jonquet, LIRMM, Université Montpellier 2 Michel Joubert, LERTIM, Marseille Fleur Mougin, ISPED, Université Bordeaux 2 Chantal Reynaud, LRI, Université Paris 11 Lina Soualmia, LIM&Bio, Université Paris 13 Pierre-Yves Vandenbussche, Mondeca et INSERM Equ20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue Apr 3 10:11:01 2012 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2012 12:11:01 +0200 Subject: Sujet de these: Morphologie et creation lexicale, ATILF Message-ID: Date: Tue, 03 Apr 2012 09:18:17 +0200 From: Fiammetta NAMER Message-ID: <4F7AA439.7040003 at univ-nancy2.fr> X-url: http://ecoledoctoralelts.univ-nancy2.fr/digitalAssets/163084_morphologie.pdf Appel ? candidature pour une pour une th?se prioritaire intitul?e : ?

D?tails de l'annonce : http://ecoledoctoralelts.univ-nancy2.fr/digitalAssets/163084_morphologie.pdf Lieu : ATILF (CNRS & Universit? de Lorraine) Le doctorant devra r?sider ? Nancy. Financement : sous forme de contrat doctoral ou ?quivalent Dur?e : trois ans (sep 2012-ao?t 2015) Encadrement : Fiammetta Namer (Pr) et St?phanie Lignon (MCF), axe Morphologie, ?quipe Lexique de l'ATILF Cette th?se vise ? ?tudier les rapports qu'entretiennent les notions de ? d?nomination ? et de ? d?marquage ? dans les n?ologismes (plus pr?cis?ment les cr?ations lexicales) form?s au moyen de proc?d?s dits ? centraux ?, en morphologie du fran?ais. Ces proc?d?s centraux sont, pour l'essentiel, les r?gles de suffixation et de pr?fixation non ?valuatives. Leur finalit? est de d?nommer de nouveaux concepts. En d'autres termes, on cherche ? savoir dans quelle mesure ces proc?d?s, connus pour leur r?gularit? (que certaines th?ories appellent naturalit?, canonicit?, ou encore prototypicit?) peuvent ?tre d?tourn?s de la fonction ? laquelle on les associe habituellement pour former des lex?mes dont la finalit? premi?re n'est pas de nommer un nouveau concept. C'est ce qu'on appelle la cr?ativit?. Cette question de la cr?ativit? a ?t? largement d?battue dans la litt?rature ? propos des proc?d?s dits extragrammaticaux. En particulier, la formation des mots-valises, et leur r?le dans le discours publicitaire, politico-satirique, ou dans les romans ont fait l'objet de nombreux travaux : il est clair que ? mode de formation extra-grammatical ? et ? cr?ativit? lexicale ? sont deux notions qui entretiennent des rapports ?troits. Ce qui est alors int?ressant ? aborder, ce sont les rapports que l'on peut identifier entre cr?ativit? lexicale et proc?d?s qui a priori ne sont pas con?us pour produire ce type de n?ologismes. Et c'est cette question qui sert de point de d?part ? la th?se. 3. Questions qui peuvent ?tre soulev?es par le doctorant Plusieurs pistes de recherches sont ? envisager. La doctorant choisira celle(s) qu'il voudra aborder dans la th?se : 1 productivit? / cr?ativit? 2 productivit? dans la langue g?n?rale / productivit? li?e ? un domaine 3 d?nomination / d?marquage 4 comp?tition entre s?mantique et phonologie 5 corpus ?crits standards / corpus en ligne de la langue spontan?e 6 pourquoi cr?er un lex?me nouveau / par quels m?canismes 7 diastratie/diatopie 8 proc?d?s cr?atifs / proc?d?s non cr?atifs Les recherches qu'impliquent ces points : - se situent au carrefour de la morphologie, de l'analyse de gros corpus, de la n?ologie - questionnent aussi bien l'intention du locuteur, que les contraintes s?mantiques et morphophonologiques qui concourent ? la formation des cr?ations ?tudi?es - sous-entendent une r?flexion portant sur la constitution des corpus '?crits spontan?s' sur lequels s'effectueront les recherches ; - impliquent que l'on aborde la morphologie sous l'angle de la production r?elle des locuteurs. 6. Pr?requis Dipl?me de Master en Sciences du langage; connaissances en morphologie constructionnelle du fran?ais, int?r?t pour la linguistique bas?e sur l'usage et l'analyse de donn?es authentiques. Le candidat pr?s?lectionn? devra soutenu son m?moire de Master avant le 15 juin 2012 pour que sa candidature soit valid?e. 7.

After a gap of fifteen years, the Scandinavian Logic Symposium is back. The Symposium is the first major initiative of the newly revived Scandinavian Logic Society (SLS, http://scandinavianlogic.org/) and will be held at Roskilde University (RUC), Denmark. As with previous editions of this conference, the aim of the programme is to reflect current activity in logic in our part of the world. So we hope that participants from Scandinavia, the Baltic countries and Northwestern Russia will take the opportunity to contribute a talk and to meet with fellow logicians from the area. But needless to say, we also extend a warm welcome to logicians from further afield and plan to present a varied and interesting collection of invited and contributed talks. TOPICS The scope of SLS 2012 is broad, ranging over the whole area of mathematical and philosophical logic, and logical methods in computer science. Suitable topics include (but are not limited to): * Proof Theory and Constructivism * Model Theory (including Finite Model Theory) * Set Theory * Computability Theory * Categorical Logic * Logic and Provability * Logic and Computer Science * Logic and Linguistics * Modal, Hybrid, Temporal, and Description Logic * Logics of Games, Dynamics and Interaction * Philosophy of Mathematics * Philosophy of Computation * Philosophy of Logic * Philosophical Logic PREVIOUS SCANDINAVIAN LOGIC SYMPOSIA: 7th Scandinavian Logic Symposium: Uppsala in 1996 6th Scandinavian Logic Symposium: Telemark in 1982 5th Scandinavian Logic Symposium: Aalborg in 1979 4th Scandinavian Logic Symposium: Jyv?skyl? in 1976 3rd Scandinavian Logic Symposium: Uppsala in 1973 2nd Scandinavian Logic Symposium: Oslo in 1971 1st Scandinavian Logic Symposium: ?bo in 1968 The proceedings of several of these meetings have been published in book form. INVITED SPEAKERS The Program Committee is delighted to announce the names of the four invited speakers: * Nikolaj Bjorner http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/nbjorner/ * Rosalie Iemhoff http://www.phil.uu.nl/%7Eiemhoff/ (sponsored by The Danish Network for the History and Philosophy of Mathematics) * Per Martin-L?f http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_Martin-L%C3%B6f * Boban Velickovic http://www.logique.jussieu.fr/%7Eboban/ SLS TUTORIALS On August 22nd, the day after the symposium finishes, a number of tutorials for PhD-students (or anyone else who is interested) will be given. These are intended to start from a relatively elementary level and lead on to current research problems. The following tutorial lectures have been confirmed so far: * Lars Kristiansen http://folk.uio.no/larsk/ - "Honest subrecursive degree theory" * Sara Negri http://www.helsinki.fi/%7Enegri/ - "Labelled proof systems for modal logic" * M. H. S?rensen http://www.formalit.dk/ - "Curry-Howard Isomorphism" RELATED EVENTS: Also note that Advances in Modal Logic (AiML) will be held on 22-25 August 2012, Copenhagen, Denmark.

L?appel ? propositions 2012 a pour th?me l?observation, la description et l?analyse des nouvelles pratiques de l??crit : les nouveaux usages de la textualit?. Sont vis?s le fran?ais et les langues de France. 1. Th?me de l'appel ? propositions : L?usage des nouvelles technologies et de l?Internet, des t?l?phones portables aux ordinateurs en passant pas les tablettes num?riques et les assistants personnels, induit de nouvelles pratiques linguistiques poly-s?miotiques du texte et de l??crit. L?objectif de cet appel ? propositions est de faire progresser la connaissance des nouvelles pratiques de l??crit et des nouveaux usages textuels, notamment num?riques. Il s?agira d??tudier, entre autres, l?impact des nouvelles technologies sur la production et la r?ception textuelle, la poly-s?miotique de la textualit? contemporaine, les normes et variations de l??crit li?es aux nouveaux supports, les pratiques d??criture et de lecture contemporaines au regard des nouvelles fonctionnalit?s num?riques. La notion d?illectronisme pourra ?galement ?tre discut?e. Les ?tudes seront fond?es sur une observation et une analyse des usages et des pratiques linguistiques et/ou des repr?sentations qui sont li?s aux nouvelles modalit?s du texte et de l??crit dans le contexte num?rique. Elles devront permettre de mieux comprendre les situations linguistiques h?t?rog?nes, en aidant notamment ? une meilleure connaissance des pratiques linguistiques r?elles sur l?ensemble du territoire national, et apporteront ainsi des informations utiles ? l??laboration de politiques publiques, culturelles, sociales ou ?ducatives. Les travaux pourront proposer une analyse de donn?es n?cessitant la constitution d?un corpus. Dans ce cas, sauf conditions particuli?res argument?es, le corpus sera livr? ? la DGLFLF pour ?tre rendu disponible pour d?autres ?tudes ou pour la constitution de ressources num?riques, y compris dans un cadre de valorisation des donn?es linguistiques. Les langues concern?es doivent ?tre le fran?ais ou les langues de France, ou ?ventuellement une autre langue pratiqu?e sur le territoire fran?ais (m?tropole et outre-mer) dans une situation socialement significative. Le dossier pr?sent? peut prendre la forme d?un pr?-projet exploratoire. Il peut regrouper plusieurs ?quipes. La dimension pluridisciplinaire sera privil?gi?e. 2.

It will immediately follow the 53st Annual Conference of the American Translators Association (ATA), also in San Diego. AMTA-2012 is seeking proposals for workshops and tutorials on all topics related to MT. Due to AMTA-2012's collocation with the ATA meeting, we are particularly interested in proposals that are designed to help translators understand MT technology and the role of translation automation in the commercial translation production pipeline as well as to help MT researchers and developers understand the needs of translators and the translation industry. However, any themes connected to MT research, development, deployment, use, and evaluation are welcome. Tutorials and Workshops will be held on Sunday, October 28, immediately preceding the main conference, and Thursday, November 1, immediately following the main conference. The first of those days will focus on events that have a potential for attracting ATA members. Aims: Tutorials at AMTA conferences are a forum for experts in MT and MT-related areas to deliver concentrated training on a topic of interest in half-day (or occasionally full-day) teaching sessions. Tutorials provide background that helps conference participants (especially newcomers to the field) understand the conference program, and/or enrich their understanding of particular technical, applied, and business matters surrounding research, development and use of MT and translation technology. AMTA workshops are intended to provide the opportunity for MT-related communities of interest to spend focused time together advancing the state of thinking or the state of practice in their area of interest or endeavor. Important dates: - Proposal Submission deadline: Thursday, May 31 What to submit: Proposals for workshops and tutorials should be submitted by May 31, 2012 to Alain Desilets (alain.desilets at nrc-cnrc.gc.ca, Tutorials) or Jay Marciano (jay.marciano at lionbridge.com, Workshops). They should include the proposed format (workshop or tutorial), a title, a one-page description of the proposed content, technical requirements and the expected number of participants. In the case of a workshop, the proposal should also include dates for important milestones (call for papers, recruitment of speakers, etc.), and whether this is an ongoing or new workshop. If you would like your event to be held on the bridge day between ATA and AMTA (Sunday October 28), your proposal should additionally make a case for why it would be of interest to ATA members. Workshop and Tutorial proposals must also include a signed copy of the AMTA Workshop or Tutorial Policy and Leader Agreement Form.

Tutorials and workshops will be held on Sunday, October 28 and on Thursday, November 1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Call for MT Research Papers at AMTA-2012 Contact: George Foster (george.foster at nrc.gc.ca) Machine Translation is one of the oldest and most challenging problems in Natural Language Processing. In the last decade, remarkable progress has been achieved through a combination of data-influenced approaches, automatic metrics, and open comparative evaluations. Applications of MT technology, such as post-editing, are becoming increasingly viable. New researchers continue to join the field, in part due to open-source toolkits such as GIZA++ and MOSES, which have lowered the bar for mounting a competitive baseline system. AMTA-2012 solicits original research papers that will advance the field. We seek submissions across the entire spectrum of MT-related research activity. In particular, we are interested in creative new applications of MT technology, and in new ideas that will allow MT to break free of BLEU incrementalism as it approaches maturity. Submissions must be unpublished, and in English. Important dates: - Submission deadline: Monday, May 21 - Notifications of acceptance: Monday, July 2 - Final "camera-ready" versions: Monday, August 6 Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Advances in various MT paradigms: data-driven, rule-based, and hybrids - Supervised or unsupervised acquisition of linguistic structure - MT applications and embedding: translation/localization pipelines, speech-to-speech, speech-to-text, OCR, MT for communication (chats, blogs, social networks) - Technologies for MT deployment: confidence estimation and domain adaptation - MT in special settings: low resources, massive resources, high volume, low computing resources (eg, PDAs) - MT Evaluation Submission Instructions: Papers should not be longer than 10 pages and should be in pdf format. Style files (Latex and MS Word) will be posted on the conference web-page at: http://amta2012.amtaweb.org/ To allow for blind reviewing, please do not include author names and affiliations within the paper and avoid obvious self-references. Detailed submission instructions will be posted on the conference website in the near future and will be included in future announcements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Call for MT User Presentations: Commercial Users and Translators Contact: Ray Flournoy ( flournoy at adobe.com ) Mike Dillinger ( mike at translationOptimization.com ) The Commercial User track will focus on how MT can meet business needs and create viable consumer products and services. Examples of MT applied to business needs include just-in-time localization of critical information, delivery of multilingual technical support information, or creation of draft translations for post-editing. Examples of MT for products and services include automatic translation apps, MT integration with websites, and commercialization of the MT engines themselves. Submissions should focus on the use of MT in a business setting and how it is integrated with other processes and technologies to support business goals and serve customer needs. Important dates: - Submissions due: Monday, May 21 - Notification of acceptance: Monday, July 2 - Final "camera-ready" versions due: Monday, August 6 Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: - Use of MT to reduce localization time and/or cost - Integrating MT and human translation - Post-editing experiences and data about productivity - ROI analyses of post-editing versus translation - Use of MT to provide localization of data-driven, dynamic, or user-specific information - Ways in which MT can be used to increase the scope of globalization projects - Managing change when implementing MT systems - Open-source and low-cost MT tools: are they realistic and is there a market for them? What to submit: Ideal presentations will clearly identify a business need and describe how MT meets those needs, with a candid assessment of its strengths and limitations for that particular usage, supported as possible by data. Submissions should be 250-500 word summaries and may be sent directly in e-mail or as attachments in RTF format. How to submit: Send submissions or questions by email to Mike Dillinger (mike at translationOptimization.com) or to Ray Flournoy ( flournoy at adobe.com ) by Monday, May 21. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for MT User Presentations: Government Users and Translation Professionals Contacts: Chuck Simmons ( Charles.Simmons at wpafb.af.mil ) Nick Bemish ( Nicholas.Bemish at dia.mil ) AMTA Government User presenters and participants will focus on the strategic nature and use of Machine Translation in governmental organizations. Most governmental entities are providing a benefit to their customers, who require them to translate large volumes of information and to make it available across multiple languages and varied network architectures. The need for language translation technology within governmental organizations is diverse and sometimes compartmented. Governments are looking for advances in Machine Translation technology, which help them deliver information not only from the native languages of various countries but also into those other languages. In turn, the information delivered helps governments to understand social and political activities in context. In an age when significant volumes of data are available in many languages, it is necessary to look to automated alternatives, which assist the linguist and enable the human translation process. For this year's AMTA conference, we are asking government participants to consider topics that address the employment of MT tools and applications that focus on translation and support the linguists/translators in their programs and processes. We are looking for representation from all government organizations that face language challenges, including: Department of Defense, Intelligence, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, Human Resources, Commerce, Labor, Energy, Judiciary, Business, Trade, Transportation, and many others. Within the governmental organizations, we request the attendance of leaders or their representatives, who can address challenging topics, including but not limited to the following: 1. Acquisition strategies that include policies directed towards implementation of MT 2. Funding priorities that stress the need for metrics to ensure adequate return on investment (ROI) 3. Requirements development which includes a broad audience of users across the federal workspace 4. Computer systems and network architectures that support inclusion of MT tools and any significant integration and security challenges 5. Research and development leading to the advancement of tools that support less commonly used languages or minimizes gaps 6. Program management strategies and how they apply to the integration and acceptance of MT tool usage 7. Case studies on examples of MT use and how it impacts the organizations ability to share content 8. Strategic Views and Objectives pertaining to Challenges with respect to MT Programs and the Employment of MT tools (e.g., IT, personnel, implementation) 9. Implementation strategies that factor into MT use as a process supporting human translation (pre-translation/post-editing) The sessions will be structured to provide open and constructive dialogue among attendees with diverse technical backgrounds and areas of expertise. The secondary objective of this approach is to establish longer-term connections among participants and foster new cooperative efforts.

The fact that so many people express themselves on these topics makes opinions less biased and more credible; their subjective nature makes them easily understandable by all people and leads to their growing influence on communities worldwide. Due to all these reasons, opinions expressed on the Web are more and more considered as basis for decision-making processes, for recommendation systems, business intelligence processes, image monitoring, and marketing or for obtaining unbiased, massive feedback. In spite of the growing body of research in the area in the past years, dealing with affective phenomena in text has proven to be a complex, interdisciplinary problem that remains far from being solved. Its challenges include the need to address the issue from different perspectives and at different levels, depending on the characteristics of the textual genre, the language(s) treated and the final application for which the analysis is done. Bearing in mind the abovementioned reflections, the aim of the 3rd Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis (WASSA 2012) is to continue the line of the previous two editions, bringing together researchers in Computational Linguistics working on Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis and, more generally, on affect in text. Moreover, taking into account that affect-related phenomena have also been studied by other disciplines, such as Psychology, Philosophy or Economics, the purpose of WASSA 2012 is to facilitate an interdisciplinary dialogue on the analysis, requirements, issues and applications of the study of subjectivity and sentiment in the context of traditional and emerging text types. We envisage WASSA as a forum to discuss the achievements obtained so far and to analyse the different approaches to tackle the difficulties researchers are confronted with in this research area. ************************************************************************ TOPICS OF INTEREST Inspired by the objectives we aimed at in the first two editions of the Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity Analysis (WASSA 2010 and WASSA 2.011) and the final outcome, the purpose of the proposed 3rd edition of the Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis (WASSA 2012) is to create a framework for presenting and discussing the challenges related to subjectivity and sentiment analysis in NLP, from an interdisciplinary theoretical and practical perspective. Researchers are encouraged to submit papers including, but not restricted to the following topics related to subjectivity and sentiment analysis: . Lexical semantic resources, corpora and annotations for subjectivity and sentiment analysis . Subjectivity and opinion retrieval, extraction, categorization, aggregation and summarization . Topic and sentiment studies and applications of topic-sentiment analysis . Mass opinion estimation based on NLP and statistical models. . Domain, topic and genre dependency of sentiment analysis . Ambiguity issues and word sense disambiguation of subjective language . The computational treatment of large amounts of user-generated content . Pragmatic analysis of the opinion mining task . Use of Semantic Web technologies for subjectivity and sentiment analysis . Improvement of NLP tasks using subjectivity and/or sentiment analysis . Intrinsic and extrinsic evaluation methodologies for subjectivity and sentiment analysis . Subjectivity, sentiment and emotion detection in social networks . Trend detection in social media using subjectivity and sentiment analysis techniques . Classification of stance in dialogues . Real-world applications of opinion mining systems We will also encourage participants to provide demos of their systems, thus giving them the opportunity to obtain feedback on their achievements and issues. At the same time, with the help of demos, we aim at enriching the discussion forum with application-specific topics for debate. ************************************************************************ ORGANIZERS .

L'objectif de la th?se est plus pr?cis?ment d'?tudier les m?thodes permettant d'adapter le plus rapidement possible un syst?me d'extraction d'information d?fini dans un domaine donn? ? un autre domaine, voire une autre langue. CONTEXTE La th?se se situe dans le contexte de l'extraction d'information, domaine dont l'objectif est d'identifier des ?v?nements ou des faits dans des textes et de structurer les informations retenues. Le plus souvent, cet objectif prend la forme d'une t?che de remplissage de formulaires (templates) pr?d?finis ? partir de textes. Ainsi, pour un formulaire centr? sur les ?v?nements sismiques, l'objectif est pour chaque tremblement de terre d?tect? dans un texte de localiser des informations telles que sa localisation, sa magnitude, sa date et son heure. Un extrait de texte tel que "En visite sur place, le vice-premier ministre Besir Atalay a confirm? que 25 b?timents s'?taient effondr?s ? la suite du s?isme d'une magnitude de 5,6. Il s'est produit ? 20h23 mercredi soir, avec un ?picentre localis? dans le district d'Edremit, ? 17 kilom?tres au sud de Van." doit ainsi permettre ? un syst?me d'extraction d'information de remplir un formulaire typique sur les tremblements de terre qui aurait la forme suivante : FORMULAIRE ? TREMBLEMENT DE TERRE ? lieu : district d'Edremit, ? 17 kilom?tres au sud de Van magniture : 5,6 heure : 20h23 date : mercredi soir Sa mise en oeuvre demande n?anmoins des moyens humains importants, que ce syst?me soit construit sur la base de r?gles ?labor?es manuellement ou bien par apprentissage, ? partir d'un corpus annot? lui-m?me manuellement. Un des d?fis actuels dans le domaine de l'extraction d'information, comme pour beaucoup d'autres applications li?es au traitement automatique des langues, est donc de d?velopper des m?thodes permettant de r?duire, dans la mesure du possible, le co?t et le temps de d?veloppement de syst?mes pour un contexte applicatif donn? (domaine, type d'information ? extraire et langue). OBJECTIFS DE LA THESE La th?se se propose d'aborder la probl?matique de l'adaptation ? un nouveau domaine selon trois axes, dans le prolongement des travaux d?j? r?alis?s au laboratoire LVIC : - le d?veloppement de processus d'extraction d'information g?n?riques. L'id?e sous-jacente est de limiter autant que possible l'utilisation d'heuristiques propres aux domaines consid?r?s, utilisation souvent efficace mais dont l'absence de g?n?ricit? pose probl?me pour la transposition d'un domaine ? un autre. Cette am?lioration de la g?n?ricit? des processus d'extraction, initi?e dans (Jean-Louis et al., 2011a), passe en particulier par le recours ? des analyses de nature discursive ; - la minimisation de la d?pendance vis-?-vis d'un domaine des mod?les construits par apprentissage pour impl?menter les processus d'extraction. Cette minimisation, elle aussi initi?e dans (Jean-Louis et al., 2011a), est obtenue notamment par l'utilisation de caract?ristiques excluant le vocabulaire sp?cifique d'un domaine. L'objectif dans ce cadre est de compenser la perte de performance qui r?sulte le plus souvent de cette restriction par une certaine stabilit? des r?sultats d'un domaine ? un autre ; - l'utilisation d'approches semi-supervis?es qui, ? l'instar de la supervision distante, permettent de d?finir l'adaptation ? un nouveau domaine par la donn?e d'exemples de structures ? extraire li?es ? ce domaine (relations ou templates) plut?t que par l'annotation de corpus. ? la suite de (Jean-Louis et al., 2011b), l'id?e est ici de conjuguer la projection de ces structures dans des corpus caract?ristiques du domaine cible et l'utilisation de techniques d'extraction g?n?riques telles que celles d?velopp?es par exemple dans (Wang et al., 2011) pour construire des exemples annot?s pour ce domaine. Le laboratoire LVIC du CEA LIST dispose d'une plate-forme modulaire de traitement des langues, LIMA, permettant de r?aliser une analyse linguistique d'un texte allant jusqu'au niveau syntaxique et int?grant certaines analyses s?mantiques et discursives. Le doctorant r?alisera son travail en s'appuyant sur cette plate-forme et b?n?ficiera des travaux en extraction d'information d?j? r?alis?s au sein du laboratoire, dans plusieurs domaines (domaines des ?v?nements sismiques et de la finance).

Il est impliqu? dans la production de corpus de parole et aux techniques d'annotation et de correction semi-automatique de corpus aux niveaux phon?tiques et phonologiques. Financement : bourse CIFRE Mots cl?s : Evaluation, reconnaissance automatique de la parole, traitement automatique des langues, combinaison de syst?mes R?sum? : Depuis une vingtaine d'ann?es, l??valuation de la transcription de la parole accompagne et stimule les progr?s en traitement automatique de la parole. Des domaines comme la recherche d'information (RI), la d?tection et l'extraction d'entit?s nomm?es ? partir de donn?es textuelles font ?galement appel ? des m?triques et des campagnes d'?valuation bien ma?tris?es. En revanche, des syst?mes de RI ? partir de donn?es audio (notre exemple d?application complexe ? base de transcription automatique) n?cessitent une ?tape interm?diaire de transcription automatique, et posent de nouveaux d?fis de combinaison de m?triques et de paradigmes d'?valuation. Il s?agit de proposer des mesures permettant ? la fois d??valuer les diff?rents modules que comprend une application complexe ainsi que d?optimiser l?application compl?te. Des transcriptions automatiques de parole utilis?es en entr?e d?un module de RI, permettant de r?aliser une recherche d?information sur des documents audio. Ce projet de th?se vise ? r?pondre aux questions suivantes : O? se situent les erreurs des syst?mes de transcription de parole et quels sont les niveaux (acoustique, phonologique, syntaxique?) qui posent probl?me pour l?application ? r?aliser ? Quel impact ont ces erreurs sur les performances d?un module utilisant ces transcriptions ? Comment combiner les m?triques pour optimiser l?application complexe ? L?objectif est de d?finir des m?triques permettant de quantifier l?impact des erreurs de transcription sur les modules applicatifs en aval. De mani?re compl?mentaire, les travaux viseront ?galement ? mieux caract?riser les modules applicatifs en termes de zones de tol?rance par rapport ? des erreurs de transcription en entr?e. Dans le cadre de cette th?se le module applicatif se limitera ? la recherche d?information et plus particuli?rement aux d?tection et extraction des entit?s nomm?es.

Peu de ressources sont aujourd'hui disponibles pour ?valuer les applications du Web s?mantique. La plupart des ontologies disponibles (comme DBPedia, MusicBrainz, ...) ou propos?es lors de campagnes d'?valuation (QALD dans le domaine des Questions/R?ponses, Billion Triples Track pour ?valuer le passage ? l'?chelle des applications, ...) pr?sentent des lacunes qui emp?chent une ?valuation de qualit? des applications d?velopp?es. Certaines de ces ontologies manquent d'expressivit?. Lorsqu'elles sont form?es d'une simple hi?rarchie de concepts ou sont issues de sch?mas relationnels, elles offrent des possibilit?s d'inf?rence limit?es. D'autres sont limit?es en termes d'exhaustivit?, m?me au sein d'un domaine. Le domaine couvert est restreint et il est fr?quent que peu d'instances soient repr?sent?es. Pour contourner ce manque, les travaux men?s actuellement sont ?valu?s sur des ontologies cr??es pour valoriser l'application.

IC 2012 26 juin 2012 ? Paris (Centre des cordeliers) L'atelier est organis? par le GRACQ et par le th?me 7 du GDR-I3. Probl?matique Peu de ressources sont aujourd'hui disponibles pour ?valuer les applications du Web s?mantique. La plupart des ontologies disponibles sur le web (comme DBPedia, MusicBrainz, ...) ou propos?es lors de campagnes d'?valuation (QALD dans le domaine des Questions/R?ponses, Billion Triples Track pour ?valuer le passage ? l'?chelle des applications, ...) pr?sentent des lacunes qui emp?chent une ?valuation de qualit? des applications d?velopp?es. Certaines de ces ontologies manquent d'expressivit?. Lorsqu'elles sont form?es d'une simple hi?rarchie de concepts ou sont issues de sch?mas relationnels, elles offrent des possibilit?s d'inf?rence limit?es. D'autres sont limit?es en termes d'exhaustivit?, m?me au sein d'un domaine. Le domaine couvert est restreint et il est fr?quent que peu d'instances soient repr?sent?es. Pour contourner ce manque, les travaux men?s actuellement sont ?valu?s sur des ontologies cr??es pour valoriser l'application. Ces ontologies sont compl?t?es par des jeux de donn?es (textes bruts, documents annot?s, requ?tes, ...) l? aussi d?finis de fa?on ad hoc. Ces pratiques biaisent les r?sultats de l'?valuation et emp?chent de mettre en place une comparaison objective des syst?mes.

Among the hybridizations the possible combinations are unlimited. The most frequent combination, as stressed during The Balancing Act in 1994, addressed machine learning and rule-based systems. Beyond this, the hybridization can be augmented with distributionnal approaches, syntactic and morphological analyses, semantic distances and similarities, graph theory models, cooccurrences of linguistic units (e.g., word and their dependencies, word senses and pos-tag, NEs and semantic roles,...), knowledge-based approaches (terminologies and ontologies), etc. As a matter of fact, the hybridization implies to define a strategy to efficiently combine several approaches: cooperation between approaches, filtering, voting or ranking of the multiple system outputs, etc. Indeed, the combination of these different methods and approaches appears to provide more complete and performant results. The reason is that each method is sensitive and efficient with given data and within given contexts. Hence, their combination may improve both precision and recall. The coverage is indeed improved, while the exploitation of different methods may also lead to the improvement of the precision since their use within filtering, voting etc. modes becomes possible. In this workshop, we favour the extended meaning of the hybridization of methods, applied to various application areas, such as: automatic creation of linguistic resources POS tagging building and structuring of terminologies information retrieval and filtering information extraction linguistic annotation semantic labeling sign language recognition and transcription oral data transcription filtering and validation of lexical resources text summarization question/answering system natural language generation etc. =================== Programme Committee =================== Anders Ard?, EIT, LTH, Lund University, Sweden Delphine Bernhard, LiLPa, Universit? de Strasbourg, France Wray Duntine, NICTA, Australia Philipp Cimiano, CITEC, University of Bielefeld, Germany Vincent Claveau, IRISA-CNRS, Rennes, France Kevin Cohen, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, USA Marie-Claude l'Homme, OLST, Universit? de Montreal, Canada B?atrice Daille, Universit? de Nantes, LINA, France Stefan Th.

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS (Deadline extended to April 22th 2012) The 7th International Workshop on Vocabularies, Ontologies and Rules for the Enterprise (VORTE 2012) Co-located with the 16th IEEE International EDOC Conference, Beijing, China, 10th-11th September, 2012 WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION The VORTE series of workshops is devoted to the topics of vocabularies, ontologies and rules in the context of enterprise systems. The complexity of enterprise systems, the increasing needs for advanced collaboration between various systems within one institution or among many collaborating parties and the velocity of organizational, policy, structural and market changes strongly call for immediate mobilization of the research community to develop more flexible and reliable technologies for the advancement of enterprise systems. Trying to respond to this urgent research need, the VORTE series of workshops has been established in order to bring together researchers and practitioners that are looking into the topics of ontologies and rules in enterprise system development from different yet complementary perspectives. The major objective is to provide a research forum for exchanging ideas and results covering the use of ontologies and rules in various stages of the lifecycle of enterprise systems. Examples of topics covered by VORTE research contributions include the development and adaptation of foundational, business and domain ontologies for the enterprise, the use of ontologies and rules in all aspects of enterprise modelling such as business process management and services, the enhancement of rules and services with formal semantics, and the evaluation of such systems and approaches. The workshop is also a forum for the discussion of ontology-based knowledge management issues, interoperability issues and ontology engineering issues, and covers various application domains relevant for organizations (such as e-government and e-commerce). The workshop also welcomes contributions on open linked data initiatives for the enterprise and empirical studies on the use of ontologies and rules in the enterprise system development lifecycle. TOPICS Vocabularies and Ontologies for the enterprise: - Ontology-driven representation of products, services, functionalities, design, processes; - Ontologies for the know-how; - Ontologies for corporate knowledge; - Upper-level ontologies in the enterprise; Knowledge management: - Ontology and ontological methodologies in knowledge management and integration; - Adaptation of ontologies for companies and organizations; - Ontology engineering, learning and maintenance within organizations; - Ontology integration and alignment within organizations; - Ontology effectiveness and evaluation in organizations; Conceptual and Enterprise Modeling: - Ontological Foundations for Conceptual Modeling and Meta-modeling - Ontology Design and maintenance for Conceptual Model Integration; - Ontology-Based Conceptual Modeling Tools and Environments - Ontologies and Enterprise Architecture Modeling - Ontologies and Business Process Modeling - Ontologies and Goal-Based Modeling - Ontologies and Business Rules Enterprise Semantic Interoperability: - Web services, Semantic services - Composition and Modularity - Merging, Mapping and Alignment - Ontology Language Interoperability - Open linked data publishing and exploitation Problems and case studies in ontology application: - Practical issues in using ontologies in enterprises - Real cases of successful/unsuccessful use of ontology in business - From legacy systems to the new ontology-driven systems SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION We solicit two types of papers: - Short papers (4 pages) discussing controversial issues in the field or describing interesting or thought-provoking ideas that are not yet fully developed; and - Full papers (8-10 pages) describing more mature results All submissions MUST conform to the two-column format of IEEE Computer Society conference proceedings (http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) and include the author's name, affiliation, and contact details. Papers must be submitted as PDF files using EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vorte2012 All papers must not have been previously published or submitted elsewhere. The papers accepted for the EDOC 2012 Workshops will be published after the workshop with an ISBN in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. At least one of the authors for each accepted paper must register for the main conference (there will be no workshop-only registration at EDOC 2012) and present their papers at the workshop. Post-conference Journal Publication For previous editions of the workshop, special issues have been published in journals such as Applied Ontology (2007), IJBPIM (2007), Elsevier's Information Systems (2008, 2010), and Journal of Research Practice in Information Technology (2009).

Nancy. Directeur de la th?se : Anne Boyer ? Professeur des Universit?s (Universit? de Lorraine) - Equipe KIWI, LORIA Qualifications du candidat : Le candidat devra ?tre en possession d'un master recherche en informatique. Une coloration en intelligence artificielle sera appr?ci?e. Candidature : Les candidat(e)s doivent envoyer CV, une lettre motivation ainsi que le nom de personnes pouvant fournir des r?f?rences ? leur sujet ? anne.boyer at loria.fr et armelle.brun at loria.fr Contexte : Une bonne communication et propagation de l?information ? la fois au sein des entreprises et ? destination de leurs clients sont d?terminantes car elles influent sur leur efficacit? et leur rentabilit?. Apparus vers 2008-2009, les r?seaux sociaux d?entreprise (RSE) sont un nouveau moyen de favoriser la communication et la propagation d?informations dans les entreprises. De plus en plus d?entreprises ont d?ailleurs compris l?utilit? des RSE et les ont adopt?s. A titre d?exemple, Yammer ?tait utilis? par plus de 80 000 entreprises dont 80% du Fortune 500 en 2010, selon TechCrunch. Les RSE sont centr?s, comme les r?seaux sociaux publics (RS), sur deux aspects : 1) la mise en avant de l?individu et de son r?seau, 2) la conversation. Les RSE permettent de rapprocher virtuellement les membres d?une m?me organisation et servent ?galement ? la gestion de projet, au partage de connaissances. Le changement de paradigme est complet par rapport aux intranets, le mod?le ?tant centr? utilisateur. Si ces r?seaux sont en g?n?ral destin?s ? un usage interne ? l?entreprise, ils peuvent aussi ?tre ?tendus ? ses clients. Dans ce cadre, ils peuvent interagir avec d?autres services : notamment en important ou exploitant les donn?es utilisateur depuis des r?seaux sociaux publics tels que Twitter ou Facebook. Via cette interaction, l?entreprise cherche ? savoir ce qui se dit d?elle ? l?ext?rieur (pour analyse et d?cision) et ainsi r?agir pour une meilleure efficacit?. L?interaction RS/RSE est d?ailleurs en plein essor en Europe. et aux Etats-Unis. Probl?matiques de la th?se : Dans le domaine bancaire, la mise en place de connexions entre RS et RSE permettra de faire ?merger un nouveau mode de communication entre la banque et ses clients, ainsi qu?avec ses futurs clients. Les probl?matiques auxquelles s?int?resse cette th?se s?inscrivent autour de la d?finition et de la mise en place de cette communication. Nous ?tudierons les RSE/RS et en particulier chercherons ? mod?liser leur dynamique et travaillerons ? la gestion automatique de la e-r?putation d?une entreprise : cela signifie d?terminer automatiquement les personnes actives dans un r?seau, influentes (mentors, leaders), mod?liser l??volution des communaut?s et des interactions au sein de et entre ces communaut?s. D?fis scientifiques : Les d?fis sur lesquels nous nous pencherons dans cette th?se sont les suivants : ? D?termination et recommandation de l?information pertinente ? transmettre aux clients, de fa?on ? maximiser leur satisfaction. La satisfaction sera mod?lis?e au travers de l?observation et de l?analyse des actions (traces d?usage) que les clients entreprennent : usage mining. Une attention particuli?re sera port?e ? la non-intrusivit? (privacy). La maximisation de la satisfaction de la banque (impact sur la rentabilit?) sera ?galement un crit?re d?terminant du choix de l?information ? recommander : la fonction ? maximiser sera donc une fonction multi-crit?res. ? D?termination automatique de communaut?s homog?nes (analyse de grands graphes ?volutifs), de leur dynamique (?volution, ?mergence, disparition), des leaders/mentors de communaut?s (utilisateurs actifs, influents). D?termination automatique des crit?res d?terminant les communaut?s. ? Diffusion de l?information / communication sur les RS, donc sur un canal (semi-) public. La coh?rence des informations diffus?es doit ?tre primordiale, et l??quilibre entre personnalisation et coh?rence globale sur l?ensemble des clients devra ?tre respect?. ? D?termination automatique des fils de discussion dans les RS o? la banque doit intervenir : r?ponse ? des critiques, ? des questions ou ? des sujets connexes afin de g?rer sa e-r?putation. Des techniques de datamining classiques devront exploit?es et de nouvelles techniques seront propos?es. La r?alisation de ces d?fis s?appuiera sur les comp?tences et l?exp?rience de l??quipe dans les domaines comme la personnalisation [1], la mod?lisation utilisateurs [2], de la d?tection de communaut?s dans les r?seaux et les r?seaux sociaux de grande taille [3], la recherche de leaders dans des r?seaux [4][5], etc. [1] Mod?lisation de comportements et apprentissage stochastique non supervis? de strat?gies de recherche et d?acc?s ? l?information.

Priority will be given to PASCAL students, but all students are encouraged to apply. (Details to follow closer to beginning of registration period). Registration Date: TBD. IMPORTANT DATES ----------------------------- Long paper submission deadline: Apr 18, 2012 Short paper submission deadline: Apr 22, 2012 Notification to authors: May 5, 2012 Camera-ready deadline: May 20, 2012 Workshop dates: TBD, during the ACL-2012 workshop period (Jul 12-14, 2012) WORKSHOP SCOPE ----------------------------- Morphologically Rich Languages (MRLs) are languages in which grammatical relations such as Subject, Predicate, Object, etc., are indicated morphologically (e.g. through inflection) instead of positionally (as in, e.g. English), and the position of words and phrases in the sentence may vary substantially. The tight connection between the morphology of words and the grammatical relations between them, and the looser connection between the position and grouping of words to their syntactic roles, pose serious challenges for syntactic and semantic processing. Furthermore, since grammatical relations provide the interface to compositional semantics, morphosyntactic phenomena may significantly complicate processing the syntax-semantics interface. In statistical parsing, which has been a cornerstone of research in NLP and had seen great advances due to the widespread availability of syntactically annotated corpora, English parsing performance has reached a high plateau in certain genres, which is however not always indicative of parsing performance in MRLs, dependency-based and constituency-based alike. Semantic processing of natural language has similarly seen much progress in recent years. However, as in parsing, the bulk of the work has concentrated on English, and MRLs may present processing challenges that the community is as of yet unaware of, and which current semantic processing technologies may have difficulty coping with. These challenges may lurk in areas where parses may be used as input, such as semantic role labeling, distributional semantics, paraphrasing and textual entailment, or where inadequate pre-processing of morphological variation hurts parsing and semantic tasks alike. This joint workshop aims to build upon the first and second SPMRL workshops (at NAACL-HLT 2010 and IWPT 2011, respectively) while extending the overall scope to include semantic processing where MRLs pose challenges for algorithms or models initially designed to process English. In particular, we seek to explore the use of newly available syntactically and/or semantically annotated corpora, or data sets for semantic evaluation that can contribute to our understanding of the difficulty that such phenomena pose. One goal of this workshop is to encourage cross-fertilization among researchers working on different languages and among those working on different levels of processing. Of particular interest is work addressing the lexical sparseness and out-of-vocabulary issues that occur in both syntactic and semantic processing. The workshop will be organised around three broad themes: - Syntactic Models: Models and architectures that explicitly integrate morphological analysis and parsing; Cross-language and cross-model comparison of strengths and weaknesses regarding particular linguistic phenomena. - Semantic Models: State-of-the-art semantic analysis and generation methods for MRLs, including semantic similarity and entailment criteria and their task-specific instantiation, and suitable representations for semantic tasks in MRLs. - Joint Modeling Aspects: Improving lexical coverage and handling of out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words by utilising lexical knowledge or unsupervised/semi-supervised learning techniques; The role of parsing in semantic analysis for MRLs; Preprocessing issues that jointly affect parsing and semantic analysis; Syntax-Semantics interfaces for monolingual or multilingual systems. The areas of interest for this joint workshop include, but are not limited to, the following topics: --Syntactic Parsing of MRLs * parsing models and architectures that explicitly integrate morphological analysis and parsing * parsing models and architectures that focus on lexical coverage and the handling of OOV words either by incorporating linguistic knowledge or through the use of unsupervised/semi-supervised learning techniques * Cross-language and cross-model comparison of models' strengths and weaknesses in the face of particular linguistic phenomena (e.g. morphosyntactic characteristics, degree of word-order freedom) * Comprehensive analyses of the strengths and weaknesses of various parsing models on particular linguistic (e.g. morphosyntactic) phenomena with respect to variation in tagsets, annotation schemes and additional data transformations --Semantic Processing of MRLs * Semantic distance and entailment criteria in the MRL space (e.g., with respect to inflection, derivation, root, pattern, lemma, tense, and/or aspect, etc.); possibly task-specific criteria * Lexical resources and morphological analysis tools facilitating semantic distance measures and semantic relation detection * Methods and models for semantic similarity/distance calculation, clustering and paraphrasing relying on MRL properties, and using: probability, vector/graph representation, data-driven and/or linguistic rules, pivoting/SMT, machine-learning, etc. * Paraphrase and textual entailment detection or generation, specific to MRLs (e.g., task-specific issues of inclusion or exclusion of certain paraphrase and textual entailment patterns differing in inflection) * Use of morphological analysis for semantic calculation aimed at reducing sparsity / OOV rate, preferably without losing information due to mere lemmatization * Semantic role labeling (SRL) for MRLs; verbal/nominalized selectional preferences --The Syntax-Semantics Interface: * Parsing-based semantic processing tasks, e.g., semantic role labeling (SRL) * Processing of compounds and multi-morphemic words: optimal level(s) of tokenization, representation, and morphological analysis for either/both tasks * Syntax-aware semantic distance measures, paraphrasing and textual entailment * Semantic classes and/or relations as input to syntactic parsing In addition to the standard (oral or poster) presentations in the sessions, the SP-Sem-MRL workshop will feature a panel of commentators for a selection of the talks, allowing for an extended discussion period. This new feature is introduced in order to foster in-depth discussions and to nurture interactions among researchers. It is our hope that these interactions will help to bring ideas (and solutions) to the fore and promote a more rapid advance of the state-of-the-art in the field. SHARED TASK ------------------ There will be no shared task on MRLs this year. However, we will take this opportunity to disclose, during a special session of SP-Sem-MRL, the data sets and evaluation procedures for the cross-linguistic cross-framework shared task which was discussed at previous SPMRL panels, and which is planned for SPMRL 2013 at IWPT 2013. Researchers who are interested in participating in the shared task or teams that wish to add their data sets or extrinsic evaluation procedures to the task are encouraged to attend the session and contribute to the discussion. SUBMISSION ------------------- Authors are invited to submit long papers (up to 10 pages + any number of reference pages) and short papers (up to 5 pages + any number of reference page). Long papers should describe unpublished, substantial and completed research. Short papers should be position papers, papers describing work in progress or short, focused contributions. Long papers may be submitted until April 18, 2012, and short papers until April 22, 2012, in PDF format via the START system: https://www.softconf.com/acl2012/sp-sem-mrl-2012/ Submitted papers must follow the styles and the formatting guidelines available from the current ACL recommendations (http://www.acl2012.org/call/sub01.asp). As the reviewing will be blind, the papers must not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ..." must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ..." Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. In addition, please do not post your submissions on the web until after the review process is complete. Authors must imperatly specify wether their paper has been submitted elsewhere (e.g emnlp). DOUBLE-SUBMISSION POLICY: PLEASE INDICATE IN YOUR SUBMISSION IF YOU SUBMITTED YOUR PAPER TO OTHER VENUES, SUCH AS EMNLP. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT THIS YEAR, DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF MULTIPLE DEADLINES.

In this chapter, the authors describe in detail the key indexing technologies behind today's web-scale search engines. They are used to provide a better understanding of how web indexes are utilized. An overview of the infrastructure needed to support the growth of web search engines to modern scales is also given. Finally, the authors outline the potential future directions for search engines, particularly in real-time and social contexts.

Centralized IR systems are becoming inefficient in the face of continued Web growth and a fully distributed architecture seems to be desirable. Without a centralized information repository and global control, a new distributed architecture can take advantage of distributed computing power and can allow a large number of systems to participate in the decision making for finding relevant information. In this chapter, the author presents a decentralized, organic view of information systems pertaining to searching in large-scale networks. The Clustering Paradox phenomenon is discussed.

Magali Roux, Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris VI, France Petabytes of data are generated by data-intensive sciences, also known as e-sciences. These data have to be searched to further perform multifarious analyses, including disparate data aggregation, in order to produce new knowledge. To achieve this, e-sciences have developed various strategies, mostly based on metadata, to deal with data complexity and specificities. In this chapter, Nuclear Physics, Geosciences and Biology, which are three seminal domains of e-sciences, are considered with regards to the strategies they have developed to search complex data. Metadata, which are data about data, were given a pivotal role in most of these approaches. The structure and the organization of metadata-based retrieval approaches are discussed.

One could imagine that indexes are made by professionals that control normalized vocabulary. However, according to the author, this is only an ideal view far from the reality of the actual indexation process. The description of photos is done by photographers who have no knowledge of information retrieval or of normalized vocabulary. Moreover, the description does not take into account aspects such as semantic ambiguities, cross-lingual querying, etc. In this chapter, the author presents an experience in which all these limitations are avoided.

It includes models and languages for the description of Web resources on the one hand and ontologies for describing resources on the other hand. Although ontologies mainly consist of hierarchical descriptions of domain concepts, some domains cannot be precisely and adequately formalized in classic ontology description languages. To overcome those limitations, promising research is being conducted on fuzzy ontologies. In this chapter, the authors propose a definition for a fuzzy ontological model based on fuzzy description logic, along with a methodology for building fuzzy ontologies and platforms.

The semantic and discourse annotations are provided by means of the contextual exploration method. This method describes the discursive organization of texts by using linguistic knowledge present in the textual context. This knowledge takes the form of lists of linguistic markers and contextual exploration rules of each linguistic marker. The linguistic markers and the contextual exploration rules can help to retrieve relevant information like causality relations, definitions of concepts or quotations, etc., which are difficult to capture with classical methods using keywords.

Paris 7, France In this chapter, the authors propose a new descriptive model for semantics dedicated to Information Retrieval. Every object is considered as a concept. Indeed, the model associates concepts to words. It analyzes every word of a document within its context and translates it into a concept, which will be the meaning of the word. The model is evaluated and documents are classified in categories by using their conceptual representations.

Berry, University of Tennessee, USA Reed Esau, Catalyst Repository Systems, USA Bruce Kiefer, Catalyst Repository Systems, USA In this chapter the authors discuss the electronic discovery (eDiscovery), which consists of the process of collecting and analyzing electronic documents to determine their relevance to a legal matter. At first glance, the large volumes of data needed to be reviewed seem to lend themselves very well to traditional informational retrieval and text mining techniques. However, the noisy and ever-changing aspects of the collections of documents and the particularities of the domain cause the results to be inconsistent using existing tools. Therefore, new tools that take these specific elements into consideration need to be developed. Starting with the history of the collection process of legal documents, the authors then examine how text mining and information retrieval tools are used to deal with the collection process and further propose some research directions to improve it, such as collaborative filtering and cloud computing.

Indeed, it contains precious and strategic data for product marketing and business intelligence. However, conventional search engines are inadequate for this task, as they are not designed to retrieve these particular kinds of data. Consequently, the field of opinion mining and retrieval is getting increasing amounts of attention. In this chapter, the authors present the Doxa project, a work in progress that aims to build a semantic enterprise search engine with integrated business intelligence technology and state of the art opinion and sentiment extraction, analysis and querying of electronic text in French.

Research on information retrieval in recent years has mainly focused on addressing issues such as document indexation, document ranking and on providing simple and quick means to search the Web, in an attempt to provide fast and high-quality results to user queries. Despite the great progress made in regard to those aspects and the success of many search engines, people still commonly have difficulties retrieving the information they are seeking, especially when they are unable to formulate an appropriate query or are overwhelmed by results. More needs to be done to include the user into the search process and assist them into the crafting and refinement of their queries and the exploration of the results. This chapter discusses the state-of-the-art research in the field of human-centered Web search.

In fact, the browser and its various possible parameterizations seem to be an important factor that allows a user to better meet its task. An analysis of the customization of web browsers for knowledge workers is proposed. It demonstrates that a browser offering the possibility of add-ons is an application that is highly adaptable in meeting the specific requirements of its users.

Therefore, identifying the correct user's search needs is not always an easy task. In order to solve this issue, the next generation of search engines will assist the users in dealing with large sets of results by offering various post-search tools such as result clustering, which has received a lot of attention recently. It consists of clustering search results into a hierarchical labeled tree so the users can customize their view of search results by navigating through it. In this chapter, the author presents WSC, a high-performance result clustering system, based on a mixed clustering method and a genuine divisive hierarchical clustering algorithm to organize the labels into a hierarchical tree. The author also shows that WSC achieves better performances than current commercial and academic systems.

It is often difficult for users to find key words that express their exact needs. In many cases, the users are confronted on the one hand with a lack of knowledge on the subject of interest in their information search and on the other hand with biases that may affect the results. Thus, retrieving relevant documents in just one pass is almost impossible. There is a need to carry out a reformulation of the query either by using completely different keywords, or by expanding the initial query with the addition of new keywords. In this chapter, authors present a semi-automatic method of reformulation of queries based on the combination of two methods of data mining: text classification and maximal association rules.

Therefore, Question Answering systems rely heavily on natural language processing techniques for syntactic and semantic analysis and for the construction of appropriate answers. This chapter presents the state of the art in the field of question answering, within which the authors cover all types of promising QA systems, techniques and approaches for the next generation of search engines, focusing mainly on systems aimed at the (semantic) web.

In querying a database, it is expected that factual questions will yield short answers that give precise information. However, with a web environment, topics are not limited and knowledge is not structured. Finding answers requires analyzing texts. In fact, the problem of finding answers to questions consists of, in this context, extracting a piece of information from a text. In this chapter, the author presents question-answering systems that extract answers from web documents in a fixed multilingual collection.

Lately, a lot of efforts have been put into the development of robust mobile search engines capable of providing attractive and practical services to mobile users, such as tools that provide directions to business locations according to the user location or voice speech search that uses speech recognition technologies. However, the capabilities of current mobile search engines are still limited. In particular, enhancements are made possible by exploiting information about the current context of the users and providing this to search engines to improve the relevance of the results. In this chapter, a context model and an architecture that promote the integration of contextual information are presented through a case study.

In recent years, much research has been devoted to develop contextual information retrieval technologies. Moreover, from the proliferation of new means of communication and information access, such as mobile devices, have emerged new needs in IR. In this chapter, the authors discuss this specific issue with respect to mobile information retrieval, followed by a presentation of a model of spatio-temporal-based personalization for mobile search, using contextual data such as location and time in order to dynamically select the most appropriate profile from a given situation. Each profile contains user interests learnt according to searches in past individual explorations. They also propose a novel evaluation scenario for mobile search based on diary study entries.

Some recent challenges in search engine evolution change users' information behavior. The authors identify four major trends in the "user-oriented approach" that focus respectively on strategies and tactics, cognitive and psychological approaches, management, and consumer and marketing approaches. However, the authors note that there is a need to better understand the dynamics and the nature of the interaction between Web searching and users. Also, other aspects such as ethics, cultural issues, growing social networks, etc. need to be considered.

As time progresses, advances in Artificial Intelligence will be made and thus new artificial intelligence technologies will be developed to enhance the sophistication of the search engines. This future generation of search engines, called artificial intelligence enabled search engines, will be compelled to play an even more crucial role for information retrieval, but this will not be without any consequences. Through this chapter, the author analyzes the concept of technological singularity, discusses the direct and indirect impacts of the development of new technologies and artificial intelligence, notably regarding search engines, and proposes a four-stage evolution model of search engines.

Quality measures for most evaluations consist of calculating precision and recall using a set of ad-hoc queries and assume that common users examine every result returned by a search engine in the same order they are presented. While this may be true in some contexts, it has been shown that it is not necessarily the case in Web searches, where modern Web search engines present results in various and enriched forms and where the users are typically interested only in a few highly relevant results and examine them as they see fit. Therefore, there is a need for new extended evaluation models for Web search engines. To this end, the author proposes a framework for evaluating the retrieval effectiveness of next-generation search engines.

This interest is mainly due to the greater importance of the Web and the need to provide equal access and equal opportunity to people with diverse disabilities. The role of assistive technologies based on language processing has gained importance as it can be observed from the growing number of efforts (United Nations declarations on universal access to information or WAI guidelines related to content) and research in conferences and workshops (W4A, ICCHP, ASSETS, SPLAT, etc.). However, language resources and tools to develop assistive technologies are still scarce. NLP4ITA aims to bring together researchers focused on tools and resources for making textual information more accessible to people with special needs including diverse ranges of hearing and sight disabilities, cognitive disabilities, elderly people, low-literacy readers and adults being alphabetized, among others. This workshop will give an opportunity for individuals from different communities to present research findings, discover future challenges, and discuss potential collaboration.

Cependant, des ressources de ce type sont requises pour le d?veloppement d'outils pour de nombreuses applications du traitement automatique des langues. De ce fait, plusieurs travaux se sont r?cemment int?ress?s au transfert automatique de connaissances de langues riches en ressources vers d'autres langues. Le stage propos? rejoint cette probl?matique. Le transfert de connaissances linguistiques d'une langue ? l'autre a g?n?ralement lieu au sein de corpus parall?les et se base sur l'alignement des textes. L'id?e sur laquelle reposent les m?thodes propos?es est que si l'on dispose de corpus annot?s et de leur traduction dans une autre langue, on peut chercher ? transf?rer les annotations dans cette autre langue. Par ce processus, des ressources sont cr??es qui permettent d'entra?ner des outils d'analyse ? diff?rents niveaux dans les nouvelles langues (Yarowsky et Ngai, 2001; Lopez et al. 2002). Ce stage est plus particuli?rement centr? sur le transfert d'informations de r?les s?mantiques de l'anglais vers le fran?ais. Les m?thodes d'?tiquetage de r?les s?mantiques n?cessitent des connaissances linguistiques importantes ou de grands corpus annot?s. En anglais, ces ressources et les outils d?riv?s existent (Gildea et Jurafsky, 2002; Palmer et al., 2005). Pour le fran?ais, des travaux sont en cours pour construire de telles ressources et outils, y compris en exploitant des corpus parall?les (Pad? et Pitel, 2007; Van der Plas et al., 2011) afin de b?n?ficier des outils ou annotations disponibles pour l'anglais. L'objectif de ce stage est de mener une ?tude sur le processus de transfert de r?les s?mantiques de l'anglais vers le fran?ais. Plus pr?cis?ment, nous souhaitons explorer les cas o? le transfert ne peut pas ?tre effectu?. Cela peut ?tre d? ? la structure sp?cifique aux langues particuli?res ; ? des erreurs d'alignement ; ou ? des divergences de traduction observ?es au sein de corpus parall?les. Les r?sultats du processus de transfert propos? par Van der Plas et al. (2011) seront analys?s en comparaison avec un ?tiquetage de r?f?rence (gold standard) contenant les r?sultats corrects. Le/la stagiaire aura donc ? ?tudier les cas o? l'analyseur ne fournit pas les r?sultats souhait?s, ? proc?der ? une analyse des erreurs, ?tudier l'impact de ces sources d'erreur sur le transfert et envisager des solutions pouvant am?liorer la performance de la m?thode. Le corpus qui sera utilis? pour cette ?tude est la partie anglais-fran?ais du corpus Europarl (Koehn, 2005). Profil : le/la stagiaire devra avoir un profil linguistique multilingue et un int?r?t pour les probl?matiques du traitement de la langue. Des comp?tences en informatique seront appr?ci?es mais ne sont pas indispensables. Dur?e : 4 mois Date de d?but : d?s disponibilit?

We are explicitly calling for papers that have a potentially high impact on a specific community or application domain (e.g. pharmacy and life sciences), as well as for papers which report on the development or evaluation of publicly available data sets relevant for a large number of applications. Moreover, we welcome contributions dealing with problems specific to modeling and maintenance of real-world data or knowledge, such as scalability and robustness of knowledge-based applications, or privacy and provenance issues related to organizational knowledge management. In addition to the main research track, EKAW 2012 will feature a tutorial and workshop program, as well as a poster and demo track. Moreover, there will be a Doctoral Consortium giving new PhD students a possibility to present their research proposals, and to get feedback on methodological and practical aspects of their planned dissertation. The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series. The LNCS volume will contain the contributed research papers as well as descriptions of the demos presented at the conference. Papers published at any of the workshops will be published in dedicated workshop proceedings. EKAW 2012 welcomes papers dealing with theoretical, methodological, experimental, and application-oriented aspects of knowledge engineering and knowledge management. In particular, but not exclusively, we solicit papers about methods, tools and methodologies relevant with regard to the following topics: 1) ?Knowledge Management and Knowledge Engineering that matters? - Real-world applications of methods for knowledge management and engineering in domains such as - e-Government and public administration - Life sciences, health and medicine - Automotive and manufacturing industry - Cultural heritage applications - Digital libraries - Development and evaluation of publicly available knowledge repositories for new applications or domains - Methods and methodologies addressing the challenges of real-world data, e.g., - Scalability, robustness etc. - Maintenance costs and financial risks - Privacy and data security - Lessons learned from case studies, e.g., - Knowledge management in large organizations - Adoption of semantic web technologies - Maintenance of corporate knowledge repositories 2) Knowledge Management - Methodologies and tools for knowledge management - Knowledge sharing and distribution, collaboration - Best practices and lessons learned from case studies - Provenance and trust in knowledge management - Methods for accelerating take-up of knowledge management technologies - Corporate memories for knowledge management - Evolution, maintenance and preservation of knowledge - Web 2.0 technologies for knowledge management - Incentives for human knowledge acquisition (e.g. games with a purpose) 3) Knowledge Engineering and Acquisition - Tools and methodologies for ontology engineering - Ontology design patterns - Ontology localization - Ontology alignment - Knowledge authoring and semantic annotation - Knowledge acquisition from non-ontological resources (thesauri, folksonomies etc.) - Semi-automatic knowledge acquisition, e.g., ontology learning - Mining the Semantic Web and the Web of Data - Ontology evaluation and metrics - Uncertainty and vagueness in knowledge representation - Dealing with dynamic, distributed and emerging knowledge 4) Social and Cognitive Aspects of Knowledge Representation - Knowledge representation inspired by cognitive science - Synergies between humans and machines - Knowledge emerging from user interaction and networks - Knowledge ecosystems - Expert finding, e.g., by social network analysis - Trust and privacy in knowledge representation - Collaborative and social approaches to knowledge management and acquisition - Crowdsourcing in knowledge management As last EKAW conference we will accept different types of papers. The papers will all have the same status and follow the same formatting guidelines in the proceedings but will receive special treatment during the reviewing phase. In particular, each paper type will be subject to own evaluation criteria. The PC will also make sure that there is a reasonable balance of the paper types accepted. At submission time the paper has to be clearly identified as belonging to one of the following categories. - Research papers: These are ?standard? papers presenting a novel method, technique or analysis with appropriate empirical or other types of evaluation as proof-of concept. The main evaluation criteria here will be originality, technical soundness and validation. - In-use papers: Here we are expecting papers describing applications of knowledge management and engineering in real environments. Applications need to address a sufficiently interesting and challenging problem on real-world datasets, involving many users etc. The focus is less on the originality of the approach and more on presenting systems that solve a significant problem while addressing the particular challenges that come with the use of real-world data. Evaluations should involve a representative subset of the actual users of the system. - Position papers: We invite researchers to also publish position papers which describe novel and innovative ideas. Position papers may also comprise an analysis of currently unsolved problems, or review theses problems from a new perspective, in order contribute to a better understanding of these problem in the research community. We expect that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a certain problem or explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, possibly corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments. Submissions of research and in-use papers should comprise a maximum of 15 pages formatted according to Springer Verlag LNCS guidelines and uploaded using Easychair ( http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ekaw2012). Position papers are required to have at most 5 pages in the same format. We will select the best papers from EKAW and invite the authors for a special edition of Journal of Data Semantics.

Paris Diderot. R?sum? Eugen W?ster (1898-1977) est consid?r? comme le p?re fondateur de la terminologie moderne. Il n?est donc pas ?tonnant que l?on parle de lui. Mais on notera que, en France du moins, c?est souvent pour le d?crier : on cherche ? se d?marquer de lui. Quelles sont les attitudes des linguistes, des lexicographes, des terminologues, des sociolinguistes et des socioterminologues, des normalisateurs ? son ?gard ? On donnera quelques ?l?ments de r?ponse ? ces questions. On cherchera surtout ? s?expliquer certaines de ces attitudes et ? mieux comprendre certains d?bats. Mais conna?t-on suffisamment W?ster, cet industriel allemand, n? en Autriche, ing?nieur, par ailleurs terminologue et linguiste autodidacte autrichien, et pour qui, en 1972, on cr?a m?me un poste ? l?universit? de Vienne ? Sans doute pas, et ses prises de position continuent ? ?tre ?voqu?es sans que ses ?crits soient cit?s avec pr?cision. W?ster a port? des casquettes vari?es, il a beaucoup ?crit, dans des voies tr?s diff?rentes les unes des autres, et toutes ces facettes ne sont pas connues de la majorit? des sp?cialistes qui l??voquent dans leurs ?crits, loin de l?. Il sera naturellement indispensable de rappeler quelques-uns des apports de W?ster, et l?attitude qui ?tait la sienne vis-?-vis de divers sp?cialistes ou de diverses sp?cialit?s. L?activit? et l??uvre de cet ing?nieur font certes de lui un extr?miste de la terminologie et de la normalisation. Et cette terminologie pure et dure de W?ster, qui sert de r?f?rence, en fonction de laquelle on peut ais?ment se positionner pour en prendre globalement le contre-pied et pour mieux assurer ses propres positions, joue en somme le r?le d?une borne bien commode.

SID et un parcours ? dominante recherche en Sciences de l?information et de la communication GIDE Le parcours Gestion de l?Information et des Documents pour l?Entreprise est consacr? aux syst?mes d?information documentaire (conception, gestion, audit). De la gestion de l?information et des connaissances (knowledge management, travail collaboratif)), ? l?archivistique et au records management, en passant par les diff?rentes modalit?s de la gestion ?lectronique de document, ce sont tous les aspects des syst?mes documentaires et de leur usage dans des contextes sp?cifiques qui sont ?tudi?s. L?accent est mis, par ailleurs, sur la gestion de projet et la m?thodologie de l?audit afin de former tant aux m?tiers op?rationnels qu?? ceux du conseil aux entreprises dans ce domaine. Responsable p?dagogique de la formation : Laurence Favier IDEMM Le parcours Ing?ni?rie documentaire, ?dition et m?diation multim?dia est orient? vers la production ?ditoriale et informatique de contenus dans des dispositifs de diffusion d?informations et de connaissances. Les domaines concern?s sont ceux du document, de l??dition num?rique et de la m?diation en ligne. Les ?tudiants sont pr?par?s ? conduire ou ? int?grer des ?quipes avec une double comp?tence : celle de sp?cialiste de la conception de documents multim?dia destin?s ? ?tre publi?s en ligne et celle relevant de la communication par des dispositifs de m?diation num?rique. En effet, avec l?av?nement de nouvelles technologies, les produits d?information et de communication, au centre d'enjeux consid?rables, n?cessitent une qualit? de production et de gestion de contenus irr?prochable. Responsable p?dagogique de la formation : Agnieszka Smolczewska Tona PRISME Le parcours Produits d?Information Sp?cialis?e et M?diation Electronique vise ? former des professionnels de la veille informationnelle, de l?ing?nierie documentaire et, plus g?n?ralement, de la gestion des contenus num?riques. ? l?issue de la formation, les ?tudiants sont en mesure de concevoir et r?aliser des produits et syst?mes d?information r?pondant aux besoins exprim?s dans diff?rents contextes (entreprises, collectivit?s territoriales, organismes publics?), et en particulier de mettre en place un processus de veille adapt?. Ils peuvent ainsi s?int?grer ais?ment dans les r?seaux de veille et les centres de documentation existants, ou rejoindre les structures sp?cialis?es dans la m?diation de l?information (courtiers, analystes, conseils?). Responsable p?dagogique de la formation : St?phane Chaudiron Un Parcours ? dominante recherche en Sciences de l?information et de la Communication, Parcours transversal aux 3 sp?cialit?s de la Mention ICCD SCCD Le parcours Soci?t?, Communication, Culture, Documentation propose une formation ? la recherche ? par la recherche mais aussi en ?troite connexion avec les terrains professionnels ? en Sciences de l?Information et de la Communication. Il se donne ainsi pour objectif de fournir aux ?tudiants les principaux balisages th?oriques et rep?res conceptuels fondant le champ scientifique de cette discipline, de les ?clairer sur les probl?matiques de ce champ, de les amener ? bien identifier et ma?triser les diff?rentes proc?dures m?thodologiques afin qu?ils puissent mettre en ?uvre, par eux-m?mes, une d?marche de recherche. En ce sens, il vise les m?tiers et fonctions li?es ? l?analyse des enjeux et ? la recherche. Prenant appui sur les axes de recherche d?velopp?s par GERIICO (analyse des m?dias et des pratiques m?diatiques, approches culturelles, communication organisationnelle, sciences de l?information et du document?), il est sp?cifique, dans la r?gion et globalement dans la zone situ?e au nord de Paris, par la pluralit? des approches qu?il propose pour analyser et concevoir des dispositifs info-communicationnels. Le parcours SCCD peut conduire ? la poursuite d??tudes en Sciences de l?Information et de la communication pour les ?tudiants qui souhaitent continuer en doctorat et s?orienter vers les m?tiers de la recherche. Le doctorat est accueilli au sein de l?Ecole doctorale r?gionale en SHS. Responsable p?dagogique de la formation : Widad Mustafa El Hadi La Sp?cialit?

It serves researchers and practitioners working on * natural language processing (NLP) applications or language resources * theoretical and implementation aspects, or * their combinations that have obvious relevance or an explicitly discussed relation to Finite-State Methods in NLP. This year, the Finite-State Methods and Natural Language Processing (FSMNLP) workshop is part of the Alan Turing Year on the occasion of the Centenary Celebration of his life and work. TOPICS FSMNLP invites papers related to themes including but not limited to: * NLP applications and linguistic aspects of finite-state methods * Finite-state models of language * Practices for building morphological models for the world's languages using finite-state technology * Machine learning of finite-state models of natural language * Finite-state manipulation software and tools with relevance to NLP ==== SPECIAL THEME: FINITE-STATE NLP IN PRACTICE ==== FSMNLP 2012 will have a special focus on the following topics: * Practical implementations of linguistic descriptions with finite-state technology, including grammars, machine learning tools, language-specific challenges to finite-state NLP * Software tools and utilities for finite-state NLP * Finite-state models of linguistic theories * Applications of finite-state-based NLP in closely related fields such as comparative linguistics, text processing, field linguistics, applied linguistics, language teaching, and computer-aided translation. The special theme does not restrict the scope of papers; rather, the purpose is to attract, apart from other topics, a variety of submissions relating to any practical dimension of finite-state NLP. Especially welcome are succinct short paper (see format below) submissions focused on some specific practical aspect or solution of finite-state NLP. This could be related to e.g. a grammar, a linguistic phenomenon, a linguistic modeling problem, a machine learning problem, or a software tool that implements or uses finite-state technology. We hope that the theme provides us with the possibility of organizing suitable poster, short presentation, and demo sessions related to particular practical problems. For example, today, a large number of languages have morphological/phonological models based on finite-state technology. While most such implementations follow standard design patterns, many grammars also contain elegant non-trivial solutions to some language-specific modeling problem (vowel harmony, reduplication, long-distance agreement, opaque phonological alternations, free variation, morphosyntactic restrictions, etc.). For this year's FSMNLP, we encourage submissions of short papers that focus on documenting such solutions, at the same time providing context by summarizing the development and implementation of the overall grammar. PREVIOUS EDITIONS Nine FSMNLP workshops have been organized in the past in: Blois (2011), Pretoria (2009), Ispra (2008), Potsdam (2007), Helsinki (2005), Budapest (2003), Helsinki (2001), Ankara (1998), Budapest (1996). RELATED EVENTS FSMNLP 2012 will be organized shortly before CIAA. The 17th International Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata (CIAA) will take place in Porto, Portugal on July 17-20, 2012 (800 km from Donostia-San Sebasti??n). These consecutive periods as well as the European locations facilitate the attendance at both conferences. IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: April 23, 2012 Notification: May 31, 2012 Camera-ready Version: June 18, 2012 Workshop Dates: July 23: tutorials& mini-workshops. July 24-25: main session, poster and demo sessions. SUBMISSIONS Papers should present original, unpublished research and implementation results. Simultaneous submission to other venues with published proceedings is prohibited. FSMNLP accepts two kinds of submissions: * full papers (8 pages + references) reporting completed, significant research, * short papers (4 pages + references) reporting ongoing work and partial results, implementations, grammars, practical tools, interactive software demos, etc. Short papers are expected to be presented as system demos in a demo session, posters and/or short presentations, while long papers are presented in a longer presentation session. Both paper types are published in the ACL anthology. All submissions are electronic and in PDF format via a web-based submission server. Authors are strongly encouraged to use ACL (2012) style (available for LaTeX and Word) in producing the PDF document. These templates are available at: http://acl2012.org/call/sub01.asp Information about the author(s) and other identifying information such as obvious self-references (e.g., "We showed in [12] ...") and financial or personal acknowledgements should be omitted in the submitted papers whenever feasible. Papers will be submitted electronically in PDF using the EasyChair system. The paper can contain a clearly marked appendix and data files to support your claims. This material will not be published. While reviewers are urged to consult this extra material for better comprehension, it is at their discretion whether they do so. Such extra material should also be anonymized to the extent feasible. Use the following link for submission: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fsmnlp2012 The papers and abstracts will be published in FSMNLP 2012 proceedings and archived in the ACL Anthology. The publication of selected, revised versions of accepted papers in a special journal issue is planned.

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, up to 15 pages, A4 page format) by May 9, 2012.

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. A special issue for 2010 and 2011 is prepared for Discrete Applied Mathematics. LOCATION & PUBLICATION: PSC'12 will be held at the Department of Theoretical Computer Science the Czech Technical University in Prague on August 27-29, 2012. (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.

This is the goal of Automatic Summarization, which aims at producing a concise document, keeping the essential information of a document or set of documents. Research into Automatic Summarization began in the 50s with the purpose of summarizing scientific texts. However, the interest for this type of documents decreased, while the interest in news article summarization grew. Recently, new challenges have appeared in this research area. In the context of the Internet, not only is information being constantly updated, but there is also a lack of quality control of what is being published on the Web. Social networks, blogs, reviews, etc. are non-traditional texts of informal nature, and they therefore constitute a big challenge for the new generation of summaries. High quality documentation such as technical/scientific articles and patents has not received in the past years all the attention that the field deserves. However, given the explosion of technical documentation available on the Web and in intranets, scientific and research and development institutions face a true scientific information deluge. Therefore, summarization should be a key instrument not only for reducing information content in this field but also for measuring information relevance in context, providing users with adequate answers in context. Another challenge for automatic summarization is the generation of abstracts, where it is necessary to take into consideration natural language generation techniques and be able to adapt them from one domain to another. In addition to these, efforts are needed to produce summaries in languages other than English and in multiple languages. Therefore, the main goal of the 1st Workshop on Automatic Text Summarization of the Future is to bring together researchers working on Automatic Summarization, encouraging research into little explored areas such as new textual gentres as well as old, forgotten ones, or summarization in languages other than English (for instance, Spanish). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT DATES: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Papers submission deadline: 15 June 2012 Notification of decisions to authors: 15 July 2012 Workshop date: 7th September 2012 Camera-ready: 20 July 2012 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBMISSIONS: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We will accept full paper contributions for the workshop.

We are explicitly calling for papers that have a potentially high impact on a specific community or application domain (e.g. pharmacy and life sciences), as well as for papers which report on the development or evaluation of publicly available data sets relevant for a large number of applications. Moreover, we welcome contributions dealing with problems specific to modeling and maintenance of real-world data or knowledge, such as scalability and robustness of knowledge-based applications, or privacy and provenance issues related to organizational knowledge management. In addition to the main research track, EKAW 2012 will feature a tutorial and workshop program, as well as a poster and demo track. Moreover, there will be a Doctoral Consortium giving new PhD students a possibility to present their research proposals, and to get feedback on methodological and practical aspects of their planned dissertation. The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series. The LNCS volume will contain the contributed research papers as well as descriptions of the demos presented at the conference. Papers published at any of the workshops will be published in dedicated workshop proceedings. EKAW 2012 welcomes papers dealing with theoretical, methodological, experimental, and application-oriented aspects of knowledge engineering and knowledge management. In particular, but not exclusively, we solicit papers about methods, tools and methodologies relevant with regard to the following topics: 1) ?Knowledge Management and Knowledge Engineering that matters? - Real-world applications of methods for knowledge management and engineering in domains such as - e-Government and public administration - Life sciences, health and medicine - Automotive and manufacturing industry - Cultural heritage applications - Digital libraries - Development and evaluation of publicly available knowledge repositories for new applications or domains - Methods and methodologies addressing the challenges of real-world data, e.g., - Scalability, robustness etc. - Maintenance costs and financial risks - Privacy and data security - Lessons learned from case studies, e.g., - Knowledge management in large organizations - Adoption of semantic web technologies - Maintenance of corporate knowledge repositories 2) Knowledge Management - Methodologies and tools for knowledge management - Knowledge sharing and distribution, collaboration - Best practices and lessons learned from case studies - Provenance and trust in knowledge management - Methods for accelerating take-up of knowledge management technologies - Corporate memories for knowledge management - Evolution, maintenance and preservation of knowledge - Web 2.0 technologies for knowledge management - Incentives for human knowledge acquisition (e.g. games with a purpose) 3) Knowledge Engineering and Acquisition - Tools and methodologies for ontology engineering - Ontology design patterns - Ontology localization - Ontology alignment - Knowledge authoring and semantic annotation - Knowledge acquisition from non-ontological resources (thesauri, folksonomies etc.) - Semi-automatic knowledge acquisition, e.g., ontology learning - Mining the Semantic Web and the Web of Data - Ontology evaluation and metrics - Uncertainty and vagueness in knowledge representation - Dealing with dynamic, distributed and emerging knowledge 4) Social and Cognitive Aspects of Knowledge Representation - Knowledge representation inspired by cognitive science - Synergies between humans and machines - Knowledge emerging from user interaction and networks - Knowledge ecosystems - Expert finding, e.g., by social network analysis - Trust and privacy in knowledge representation - Collaborative and social approaches to knowledge management and acquisition - Crowdsourcing in knowledge management As last EKAW conference we will accept different types of papers. The papers will all have the same status and follow the same formatting guidelines in the proceedings but will receive special treatment during the reviewing phase. In particular, each paper type will be subject to own evaluation criteria. The PC will also make sure that there is a reasonable balance of the paper types accepted. At submission time the paper has to be clearly identified as belonging to one of the following categories. - Research papers: These are ?standard? papers presenting a novel method, technique or analysis with appropriate empirical or other types of evaluation as proof-of concept. The main evaluation criteria here will be originality, technical soundness and validation. - In-use papers: Here we are expecting papers describing applications of knowledge management and engineering in real environments. Applications need to address a sufficiently interesting and challenging problem on real-world datasets, involving many users etc. The focus is less on the originality of the approach and more on presenting systems that solve a significant problem while addressing the particular challenges that come with the use of real-world data. Evaluations should involve a representative subset of the actual users of the system. - Position papers: We invite researchers to also publish position papers which describe novel and innovative ideas. Position papers may also comprise an analysis of currently unsolved problems, or review theses problems from a new perspective, in order contribute to a better understanding of these problem in the research community. We expect that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a certain problem or explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, possibly corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments. Submissions of research and in-use papers should comprise a maximum of 15 pages formatted according to Springer Verlag LNCS guidelines and uploaded using Easychair ( http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ekaw2012). Position papers are required to have at most 5 pages in the same format. We will select the best papers from EKAW and invite the authors for a special edition of Journal of Data Semantics.

IC 2012 26 juin 2012 ? Paris (Centre des cordeliers) L'atelier est organis? par le GRACQ et par le th?me 7 du GDR-I3. Probl?matique Peu de ressources sont aujourd'hui disponibles pour ?valuer les applications du Web s?mantique. La plupart des ontologies disponibles sur le web (comme DBPedia, MusicBrainz, ...) ou propos?es lors de campagnes d'?valuation (QALD dans le domaine des Questions/R?ponses, Billion Triples Track pour ?valuer le passage ? l'?chelle des applications, ...) pr?sentent des lacunes qui emp?chent une ?valuation de qualit? des applications d?velopp?es. Certaines de ces ontologies manquent d'expressivit?. Lorsqu'elles sont form?es d'une simple hi?rarchie de concepts ou sont issues de sch?mas relationnels, elles offrent des possibilit?s d'inf?rence limit?es. D'autres sont limit?es en termes d'exhaustivit?, m?me au sein d'un domaine. Le domaine couvert est restreint et il est fr?quent que peu d'instances soient repr?sent?es. Pour contourner ce manque, les travaux men?s actuellement sont ?valu?s sur des ontologies cr??es pour valoriser l'application. Ces ontologies sont compl?t?es par des jeux de donn?es (textes bruts, documents annot?s, requ?tes, ...) l? aussi d?finis de fa?on ad hoc. Ces pratiques biaisent les r?sultats de l'?valuation et emp?chent de mettre en place une comparaison objective des syst?mes. L'objectif de cet atelier est de d?crire les besoins et de d?finir les crit?res auxquels doivent r?pondre les ontologies et les jeux de donn?es qui pourront ?tre mises ? disposition de la communaut?, permettant ainsi des ?valuations pertinentes des applications les utilisant. Cet atelier a ?galement pour vocation la pr?sentation document?e et argument?e de ressources (ontologies et jeux de donn?es) qui pourraient pr?tendre correspondre ? des besoins d'?valuation ainsi que de protocoles d'?valuation d'applications, qui serviraient par la suite de r?f?rence. Les soumissions pourront ?tre applicables notamment aux th?matiques suivantes : - Construction, peuplement et ?volution d'ontologie - Alignement et fusion - Syst?mes de Question/R?ponse - Comparaison des approches de Recherche d'Information et des moteurs s?mantiques - Annotation s?mantique et description de contenus - Passage ? l'?chelle - Linked data - Ressources sp?cifiques au fran?ais Chaque pr?sentation devra pr?cis?ment pr?senter les objectifs d'?valuation vis?s, les crit?res identifi?s pour y r?pondre et ?ventuellement une ontologie et un jeu de donn?es permettant cette ?valuation. Les auteurs souhaitant participer ? l'atelier devront fournir un article allant de 5 ? 15 pages au format demand? ? la conf?rence, et pourront rendre disponible sur le web leurs ressources 15 jours avant la date de l'atelier. La mise en ligne permettra une discussion plus approfondie des ressources propos?es. Les papiers devront suivre le format d'IC et devront ?tre soumis via le syst?me EasyChair.Les articles seront mis en ligne et publi?s sous forme de workshop CEUR.

Information and knowledge are crucial resources in collaborative networks, being their management fundamental processes to optimize.**** Knowledge organisation and collaboration systems are thus important instruments for the success of collaborative networks of organisations having been researched in the last decade in the areas of computer science, information science, management sciences, terminology and linguistics. Nevertheless, research in this area didn?t give much attention to multilingual contexts of collaboration, which pose specific and challenging problems. It is then clear that access to and representation of knowledge will happen more and more on a multilingual setting which implies the overcoming of difficulties inherent to the presence of multiple languages, through the use of processes like localization of ontologies. **** Although localization, like other processes that involve multilingualism, is a rather well-developed practice and its methodologies and tools fruitfully employed by the language industry in the development and adaptation of multilingual content, it has not yet been sufficiently explored as an element of support to the development of knowledge representations - in particular ontologies - expressed in more than one language. Multilingual knowledge representation is then an open research area calling for cross-contributions from knowledge engineering, terminology, ontology engineering, cognitive sciences, computational linguistics, natural language processing, and management sciences.**** This workshop intends to join researchers interested in multilingual knowledge representation, in a multidisciplinary environment to debate the possibilities of cross-fertilization between knowledge engineering, terminology, ontology engineering, cognitive sciences, computational linguistics, natural language processing, and management sciences applied to contexts where multilingualism continuously creates new and demanding challenges to current knowledge representation methods and techniques.**** ** ** Workshop Co-located with TKE 2012 conference Universidad Polit?cnica de Madrid**** *CALL FOR PAPERS* ** ** TOPICS OF INTEREST**** Papers are invited on, but not limited to, the following topics: - Collaborative processes in multilingual terminology work - Multilingual ontology development and maintenance - Interfaces between multilingual terminology work and ontology development - Multilingual collaborative conceptualization processes and representation of knowledge - Multilingual knowledge organisation systems and collaboration - Cross-lingual knowledge access - Localization strategies for knowledge representation - Localization of ontologies to multiple languages - Multilingual and cross-lingual information extraction and ontology population - Representation of multilingual information and language resources in the Semantic Web - Theoretical models in multilingual terminology work ** ** SUBMISSIONS We invite you to submit papers reporting on completed activity including concrete evaluation results.

Le Mirail. Vous y ?tes cordialement invit?s ainsi qu'au pot qui suivra. Yann Desalle Titre de la th?se: R?seaux lexicaux, M?taphore, Acquisition: une approche interdisciplinaire et inter-linguistique du lexique verbal Adresse de la soutenance: Salle D 29, Maison De la Recherche, Universit? de Toulouse 2 - Le Mirail, 5 all?es Antonio Machado 31058 Toulouse. Jury: Jean-Luc Nespoulous, Professeur ? l'Universit? de Toulouse 2 ? Le Mirail (Directeur) Bruno Gaume, Charg? de Recherche au CNRS (Co-directeur) Henri?tte Hendriks, Professeur ? l'Universit? de Cambridge (Rapporteur) Pierre Zweigenbaum, Directeur de Recherche au CNRS (Rapporteur) Karine Duvignau, Professeur ? l'Universit? de Toulouse 2 ? Le Mirail (Examinateur) Gerard Steen, Professeur ? l'Universit? Vrije d'Amsterdam (Examinateur) Alain Polgu?re, Professeur ? l'Universit? de Lorraine (Examinateur) R?sum?: Souvent, lorsque les locuteurs d'une langue n'ont pas acc?s ? l'item conventionnel pour ?tiqueter un objet ou un ?v?nement, ils ?tendent, consciemment ou inconsciemment, le sens d'un autre item lexical disponible. Ce ph?nom?ne se produit particuli?rement au cours de la phase d'acquisition lexicale des jeunes enfants. Lorsqu'une telle sur-extension s?mantique va au-del? de la cat?gorie d'objet ou d'?v?nement conventionnellement d?not?e par l'item lexical produit, il s'agit d'une sur-extension cat?gorielle et l'?nonc? produit est d'allure m?taphorique: par exemple, ? d?shabiller la pomme ? pour l'action peler une pomme est un ?nonc? d'allure m?taphorique. Tout d'abord, cette th?se a permis de d?velopper SLAM, un syst?me de r?solution lexicale automatique des m?taphores produites en situation de manque du mot. SLAM s'appuie, d'une part, sur l'analyse syntaxique de grands corpus et, d'autre part, sur la structure Petit Monde Hi?rarchique des r?seaux lexicaux de synonymie. Par exemple, ? partir des ?nonc?s ? elle d?shabille* la pomme ? ou ? les bras* de l'arbre ?, SLAM permet d'obtenir les interpr?tations suivantes: respectivement, ? elle p?le une pomme ? et ? les branches de l'arbre ?. Ensuite, cette th?se a permis d'?tudier sp?cifiquement la dynamique d'acquisition du lexique des verbes qui se stabilise apr?s celui des noms. D'une part, des outils m?thodologiques pour l'?tude inter-linguistique de la dynamique d'acquisition du lexique des verbes ont ?t? ?labor?s: (a) un cadre m?thodologique pour la construction de proc?dures d'identification des sur-extensions s?mantiques cat?gorielles des verbes; (b) une m?thodologie pour le rep?rage des stimuli visuels d'action sans biais culturel. D'autre part, les liens entre la structure des r?seaux lexicaux de synonymie et la dynamique d'acquisition du lexique des verbes en fran?ais et en mandarin ont ?t? mis au jour. Apr?s avoir point? des diff?rences dans la dynamique d'acquisition du lexique des verbes par les jeunes enfants natifs du fran?ais et du mandarin, cette ?tude a servi ? la construction du score REFLEX, mesure du degr? d'acquisition du lexique des verbes, qui permet de cat?goriser automatiquement les jeunes enfants vs adultes en fran?ais et en mandarin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Apr 28 19:55:41 2012 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2012 21:55:41 +0200 Subject: Appel: Atelier IC pour l'Interoperabilite Semantique en e-Sante, Date limite etendue Message-ID: Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2012 11:37:59 +0200 From: Lina Soualmia Message-ID: X-url: http://ic2012.crc.jussieu.fr/ *** REPORT DE LA DATE LIMITE au 7 Mai 2012 *** Atelier IC pour l?Interop?rabilit? S?mantique dans les applications en e-Sant? Paris, Mardi 26 Juin 2012 https://sites.google.com/site/icisante2012/ en conjonction avec les 23?mes Journ?es francophones d?Ing?nierie des Connaissances http://ic2012.crc.jussieu.fr/ ******************************************************************** L?Agence des Syst?mes d'Information Partag?s en Sant? (ASIP) d?finit l?interop?rabilit? s?mantique entre syst?mes d?information dans les domaines sant? et m?dico-social de la fa?on suivante: ? La capacit? qu?ont plusieurs syst?mes d??changer de l?information entre eux et d?utiliser l?information qui a ?t? ?chang?e, pour que les utilisateurs de ces syst?mes puissent en tirer parti dans leurs actes et leurs d?cisions, pour le mieux-?tre de leurs patients. ? En g?n?ral, pour y parvenir, le respect de normes et de standards partag?s est n?cessaire. L?interop?rabilit? s?mantique en sant? s?appuie donc sur un ensemble de ressources et de services permettant ? un syst?me d?information de lier les donn?es recueillies avec les connaissances g?n?rales du domaine et permettant une optimisation des dossiers patients informatis?s pour un usage multiple : le soin, la sant? publique et la recherche clinique ? travers plusieurs syst?mes de sant? et plusieurs institutions. La question de l?interop?rabilit? s?mantique en sant? est en pleine expansion au niveau europ?en comme en t?moigne les nombreux projets financ?s dans le programme du FP7, mais ?galement en France avec le d?ploiement du Dossier M?dical Personnel mi-Janvier 2012. L?objectif de cet atelier est de r?unir les travaux traitant des ressources et bases de connaissances pour l'interop?rabilit? s?mantique en sant? (partage et r?utilisation) sous divers aspects : leur construction, leur ?valuation, les langages et standards pour les repr?senter. Il s?agit de rassembler des chercheurs issus des mondes acad?mique et industriel pour d?battre de la question de l?interop?rabilit? s?mantique en sant? ? travers la pr?sentation d?activit?s de recherche innovantes, de techniques, de technologies et de d?monstrateurs d?velopp?s dans le cadre de la mise en ?uvre de solutions d?interop?rabilit? s?mantique dans le domaine m?dical. ========= THEMES ========= Nous sollicitons des propositions de communication portant sur le th?me de la construction de ressources et de bases de connaissances pour faciliter l'interop?rabilit? s?mantique au sein d?applications m?dicales (dossiers patients, syst?mes d?information hospitaliers ...) Les discussions pourront ?tre organis?es autour des th?matiques (non exhaustives) suivantes : ** Terminologies et Ontologies m?dicales : Interop?rabilit? s?mantique des contenus m?dicaux, M?thodes d'alignement de terminologies et d'ontologies, Indexation terminologique de dossiers m?dicaux de patients et de r?cits cliniques, Formalismes et langages de repr?sentation, Apports de la s?mantique dans la pratique m?dicale ... ** Int?gration de donn?es multi-sources : Entrep?ts de donn?es biom?dicales Partage et r?utilisation des donn?es ? ** Extraction de l?information et de connaissances ? partir de contenus m?dicaux : construction de bases de connaissances, fouille de donn?es fouille de textes ? ** Utilisation de l?interop?rabilit? s?mantique : pour l?aide ? la d?cision, la recherche d?information, l'indexation? ============ SOUMISSIONS ============ Les chercheurs travaillant sur les th?matiques de l?Interop?rabilit? S?mantique pour les applications en e-sant? sont invit?s ? soumettre des contributions jusqu'? *6* pages au format *** PDF** *conformes au mod?le de documents de la conf?rence IC : Mod?le LaTeX : http://ic2012.crc.jussieu.fr/style_latex_IC2012.zip Mod?le Word : http://ic2012.crc.jussieu.fr/style_word_IC2012.doc Les contributions pourront ?tre envoy?es par courriel jusqu'au 30/04 ? ic.isante at gmail.com ========= DATES ========= R?ception des articles : report au 7 Mai 2012 R?ponse aux auteurs : 28 Mai 2012 Version finale : 4 Juin 2012 Atelier : Mardi 26 Juin 2012 ========= COMITE ========= Florence Amerdeilh, Mondeca Sandra Bringay, LIRMM, Universit?
