Hissaror Hisarya (http://www.augustaspa.com, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hisarya,_Bulgaria) is a famous resort since ancient times; it boasts 22 mineral springs with water temperatures between 37-52 degree Celsius. Archaeological research has revealed that a town existed near the springs 5000 years BC. Many years later Thracians, and after them Romans, settled around the warm springs. The Roman emperor Diocletian visited the town in 293 and built a fortified wall around it. The town was named Diocletianopol. Famous archeological monuments such as: - the Thracian Tomb of Kazanluk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thracian_Tomb_of_Kazanlak - and the Tomb at Starosel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starosel) are located within 20-50 km from Hissar. TRAVEL Hissar is situated in the centre of Bulgaria, 40 km north of the city of Plovdiv and 160 km east of the Bulgarian capital Sofia. Both the International airports of Sofia and Plovdiv can be used as arrival/departure points for RANLP-2013. Ryanair is now operating flights between London Stansted and Frankfurt/Hahn to Plovdiv two times per week. Sofia Airport is connected to Plovdiv via a highway and it takes only 1 hour and 45 minutes to reach Hissar from Sofia. In addition to the regular public transport (trains and buses), the organisers will provide shuttle minibuses from/to Sofia and Plovdiv airports at an inexpensive rate.

The workshop aims to explore the new frontiers of big data computing for opinion mining through Semantic Web ontologies, rules, and services, Linked Data technologies, Web Science applications, knowledge-based systems, adaptive and transfer learning, in order to more efficiently retrieve and extract social information from the Web. ABSTRACT As the Web rapidly evolves, Web users are evolving with it. In an era of social connectedness, people are becoming more and more enthusiastic about interacting, sharing, and collaborating through social networks, online communities, blogs, Wikis, and other online collaborative media. In recent years, this collective intelligence has spread to many different areas, with particular focus on fields related to everyday life such as commerce, tourism, education, and health, causing the size of the Social Web to expand exponentially. The distillation of knowledge from such a large amount of unstructured information, however, is an extremely difficult task, as the contents of today's Web are perfectly suitable for human consumption, but remain hardly accessible to machines. The opportunity to capture the opinions of the general public about social events, political movements, company strategies, marketing campaigns, and product preferences has raised growing interest both within the scientific community, leading to many exciting open challenges, as well as in the business world, due to the remarkable benefits to be had from marketing and financial market prediction. TOPICS MABSDA aims to provide an international forum for researchers in the field of big data computing for opinion mining and sentiment analysis to share information on their latest investigations in social information retrieval and their applications both in academic research areas and industrial sectors. The broader context of the workshop comprehends Semantic Web, Linked Open Data, Web Science, information retrieval, and natural language processing. In addition to paper presentations, an invited talk by Prof Bebo White will stress the interdisciplinary challenges of big social data analysis. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Affective ontologies - Rules for opinion mining - Web Science approaches to sentiment analysis - Linked Data applications for sentiment mining - Sentiment identification & classification - Time evolving opinion & sentiment analysis - Multi-modal sentiment analysis - Multi-domain & cross-domain evaluation - Knowledge base construction & integration with opinion analysis - Transfer learning of opinion & sentiment with knowledge bases - Sentiment topic detection & trend discovery - Social ranking and social network content analysis - Sentic computing - Opinion spam detection INVITED SPEAKER Bebo White is a Departmental Associate (Retired) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), the high-energy physics and basic energy science laboratory operated by Stanford University. Prior to his retirement, he was permanent staff/faculty at SLAC from 1981 to 2005. While his initial responsibilities at SLAC were in computational physics, in recent years Prof White's work has been dominated by his involvement with World Wide Web technology. He first became involved with WWW development while on sabbatical at CERN in 1989 and was instrumental in establishing the first non-European Web site at SLAC in 1991.

Celle-ci peut se faire automatiquement, généralement à partir de textes, mais dans ce cas elle peut être biaisée par le corpus choisi (généraliste ou spécialisé, journalistique ou dictionnairique …), aussi bien que par la méthode d’acquisition qui peut favoriser l’émergence de certaines informations au détriment d’autres. De plus, l'extraction automatique de relations typées entre termes à l'aide de patrons syntaxiques se heurte à leur ambiguïté intrinsèque et résulte généralement en un bruit important nécessitant une correction au cas par cas. L’acquisition de ressources peut également être effectuée selon la tradition lexicographique, à savoir de façon manuelle. Dans ce cas, plusieurs méthodes sont possibles, les ressources pouvant être créées : a) par des experts : c'est alors un processus long et coûteux, souvent lourd à faire évoluer ; b) par des approches contributives rémunérées ou non sollicitant des participants non nécessairement linguistes de formation mais attirés par les choses de la langue; c) enfin par une stratégie plus récente consistant à mettre en œuvre des jeux accessibles sur Internet. Ces jeux permettent d'acquérir des ressources par consensus populaire entre locuteurs natifs. C’est un processus rapide, peu coûteux, très dynamique, mais cependant la question de la qualité de la ressource peut légitimement être posée. Celle-ci peut trouver une réponse intéressante par la conception d'autres jeux, transversaux aux premiers. Cet exposé sera l'occasion de faire le tour des propositions faites et des résultats obtenus dans le cadre du projet JeuxDeMots.

La terminologie s’intéresse aux dénominations des concepts et des objets dans un domaine précis, mais aussi aux unités telles que les collocations, les combinaisons lexicales ou les phraséologies en usage, qui font partie des vocabulaires, des discours et des langues de spécialité. D’un point de vue méthodologique, le terminologue développe des pratiques qui visent la conception et la création de ressources terminologiques utiles à toute fin langagière : traduction, aménagement, lexicographie, enseignement des langues à des fins spécifiques, etc. La qualité et la rigueur des discours de spécialité étant directement dépendantes de la relation entre l’organisation lexicale et l’organisation des connaissances, une réflexion conjointe entre les terminologues, traducteurs, lexicographes, ingénieurs des connaissances et informaticiens s’impose. La terminologie et l’ontologie partagent des objectifs similaires dans leur compréhension et la description de la réalité. Les ontologies issues de l’ingénierie des connaissances constituent aujourd’hui une des voies les plus prometteuses pour la modélisation du système conceptuel des terminologies. Au cœur de nombreuses applications du monde numérique, les ontologies permettent l’opérationnalisation des terminologies et leur utilisation à différentes fins : aide à la traduction, gestion et traitement de l’information, gestion des connaissances et de contenus multilingues, web sémantique, etc. Par nature transdisciplinaires, la terminologie et l’ontologie mobilisent des pratiques et des théories qui relèvent de nombreuses disciplines dont principalement la linguistique, les langues de spécialité, l’épistémologie, l’ingénierie des connaissances et les sciences de l’information. Publics & Disciplines : ---------------------------- Les conférences TOTh visent à rassembler chercheurs, enseignants, formateurs, utilisateurs et industriels dont les préoccupations relèvent à la fois de la terminologie et de l’ontologie, et de façon plus générale de la langue et de l’ingénierie des connaissances. Elles se veulent un lieu d’échange et de partage où sont exposés problèmes, solutions et retours d’expériences tant sur le plan théorique qu’applicatif ainsi que les nouvelles tendances et perspectives des disciplines associées : terminologie, langues de spécialité, linguistique, intelligence artificielle, ingénierie des connaissances, systèmes d’information, ingénierie collaborative, sciences de l’information, documentation, etc. Prix « Jeune chercheur » : -------------------------------- Depuis 2011 un prix « Jeune chercheur » est décerné par le comité de programme lors de la conférence. Thèmes de la Conférence (liste non exhaustive) : -------------------------------------------------------------- Approches linguistiques : - langues de spécialité, traduction, lexicographie de spécialité, aménagement linguistique et terminologique, communication de spécialité, - multilinguisme, traduction, - théories du texte et des discours, sémantique lexicale, - usages, variations, collocations terminologiques, phraséologie, - produits terminologiques, lexiques, dictionnaires, thésaurus, - traitement de corpus : extraction de termes, extraction de connaissances, constitution et alignement de corpus, - construction et maintenance de ressources terminologiques, harmonisation des termes, harmonisation des concepts, normalisation, importance et limite des corpus, - validation de la qualité des données, rôle des experts.

Terminology is about names for concepts and objects in a given subject area, but it is also concerned with other units such as collocations, lexical combinations or phraseologies in actual use, all of which are part of specialized languages and discourse. The terminologist’s job is to design and produce terminological resources which can be used for a variety of language-based activities : translation, corpus language planning, teaching language for special purposes, etc. The quality and the precision of specialised discourse is directly linked to the relation between the way lexical items are ordered and the way knowledge is organised: sufficient encouragement in itself for active collaboration between terminologists, translators, lexicographers, knowledge engineers and IT specialists. Terminology and ontology share similar objectives in the way they approach and describe reality. Ontologies, which come from knowledge engineering, are now one of the most promising ways to model conceptual systems for terminologies. Of the numerous applications to be found in the digital world, ontologies are particularly useful to make terminologies operational and ensure their applications in various roles : as translation tools, for information and knowledge management, the semantic web, etc. Terminology and ontology are both basically transdisciplinary in approach, and both reach out to take on board practices and theories from many different subject fields, in particular from linguistics, language for special purposes, epistemology, artificial intelligence, information sciences. Target audience & Disciplines: --------------------------------------- The TOTh conferences aim to bring together all those involved in LSP, terminology and knowledge engineering and, more generally, all persons interested in issues related to language and knowledge. They are designed to be platforms of exchange and sharing where problems are outlined and solutions and feedback provided, for both theoretical and applied perspectives as well as for the new trends and perspectives of associated disciplines: terminology, languages for special purposes, linguistics, artificial intelligence, knowledge engineering, information systems, collaborative engineering, information sciences, documentation, etc. Young Researcher Prize: -------------------------------- Since 2011, a Young Researcher Prize is awarded by the Program committee and bestowed on the winner during the Conference.

THEME and MOTIVATION The languages from the Balto-Slavic group play an important role due to their diverse cultural heritage and widespread use — with over 400 million speakers. The recent political and economic developments in Central and Eastern Europe have brought Balto-Slavic societies and their languages into focus in terms of rapid technological advancement and rapidly expanding consumer markets. This Workshop addresses Natural Language Processing (NLP) for the Balto-Slavic languages. The NLP tasks in urgent need of attention include, but are not limited to: morphological analysis and generation, syntactic and semantic tagging, named-entity recognition, information extraction, co-reference resolution, question-answering, information retrieval, text summarization, machine translation. Research on theoretical and applied topics in the context of many Balto-Slavic languages is still in its early stages. The linguistic phenomena specific to Balto-Slavic languages — such as rich morphological inflection and free word order — make the construction of NLP tools for these languages a challenging and intriguing task. The goal of this Workshop is to bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners working on NLP for Balto-Slavic languages. In particular, the Workshop will serve as an instrument to further stimulate the research on NLP techniques for Balto-Slavic languages, and to foster the creation of tools for these languages. The Workshop will provide a forum for exchanging ideas and experience, discussing difficult-to-tackle problems in this field of research, and making the available resources more widely-known. One fascinating aspect of this sub-family of languages is the striking structural similarity, as well as an easily recognizable core vocabulary and inflectional inventory spanning the entire group of languages — despite a lack of mutual intelligibility — which creates a special environment in which researchers can fully appreciate the shared problems and solutions and communicate naturally. This Workshop continues the proud tradition established by the previous BSNLP Workshops: the First BSNLP Workshop, held in conjunction with ACL 2007 Conference in Prague; the Second BSNLP Workshop, held in conjunction with IIS 2009: Intelligent Information Systems, in Cracow, Poland; and the Third BSNLP Workshop, held in conjunction with TSD 2011, 14th International Conference on Text, Speech and Dialogue in Plzen, Czech Republic. SUBMISSION BSNLP 2013 welcomes two types of submissions: (a) full papers, and (b) short papers. Long papers should describe original unpublished work and should indicate the state of completion of the reported results. In particular, overlap with previously published work should be clearly mentioned. The authors should indicate along with their submission if the paper has been submitted elsewhere. Short papers should describe work in progress and/or interactive software demos. All submissions, both long and short papers, will be judged on correctness, novelty, technical strength, clarity of presentation, usability, and significance/relevance to the Workshop. Submissions will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee. The reviewing will be blind. Therefore, the paper should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Self-citations and other references that reveal the authors' identity should be avoided. In particular, submissions describing systems, resources or solutions that are made available to the wider public would be strongly encouraged, as this would help to promote computational linguistics applications for these languages. Further details related to the submission format and electronic submission system will be announced in January 2013. OFFICIAL LANGUAGE The official language of the workshop is English. PUBLICATION The papers accepted for BSNLP 2013 will be published in ACL Workshop Proceedings. After the Workshop, we intend to make a selection of the best papers based on this year's and previous years' Workshops, and to publish expanded versions of these papers in a volume on Balto-Slavic NLP as a book with a reputable publisher or in a special journal issue. No such unified reference work for Balto-Slavic NLP exists to date.

The Symposium provides an opportunity for Master's and PhD students to discuss and explore their research interests and career objectives with their peers and with a panel of established researchers, helping to develop a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research. The symposium will be a one-day pre-conference event, where students of accepted abstracts will be invited to give a presentation on their thesis work before a group of peers as well as a small team of expert AI researchers who would offer a critique of each presentation and provide support, advice, and mentoring. Each student will also be invited to participate in the poster session during the AI 2013 main conference. In addition, the author of the best student submission will be invited to give a short talk during the main conference. PhD and Master's students are invited to submit a 6-page summary of their on-going thesis work from all areas of Artificial Intelligence. It is not expected that submissions will consist of polished work with complete results; moreover, summaries of completed projects will not be accepted. Instead, the weight will be placed on the significance of the work, the proposed ideas and solutions, and the overall presentation. The abstract should clearly state the problem being addressed, the proposed plan of research and the description of the progress to date. To benefit the most from the event, applicants should be in their 2nd or 3rd year of studies and nearly completing their thesis proposal. All submissions must be written in English. Papers may be up to 6 pages in length and must be formatted according to Springer's LNCS style. Please follow the instructions for authors at Springer's website (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). The use of the LaTeX2e style file available at Springer's website is strongly encouraged. The paper submission should be accompanied with the following materials: 1. A cover letter stating your name, institution, email address, supervisor's name and email address, program start date, expected graduation date, and 2-5 keywords describing your work. Also include a list of your refereed and non-refereed publications and presentations at national and international forums. 2. A letter from your thesis advisor that includes an assessment of the current status of your thesis research, and an expected date for thesis submission. Please combine all materials into one PDF document. To submit your work, please go to the AI 2013 - Graduate Student Symposium Submission Server at EasyChair and follow the instructions: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gssai2013. Each submission will be reviewed by a mixed team of both student applicants and program committee members. Each student submitting a paper to the Symposium is expected to participate in the reviewing process. Presenting students will be selected based on clarity of the submission, stage of research, and evidence of promise such as published papers or technical reports. All students are encouraged to attend and participate in the Symposium, whether or not they apply to present their work. All the selected student presenters are expected to actively participate in the full Symposium, as we envision participants gaining as much by interacting with their peers as by having their presentations critiqued by the faculty panel. The symposium will also include an invited talk/discussion panel on a topic of interest to graduate students. Partial financial assistance for travel and accommodations may be available to a limited number of students presenting at the Symposium. Important Dates Full package submission due: January 30, 2013 Notification of acceptance: February 25, 2013 Final paper due: March 6, 2013 Graduate Student Symposium: May 28, 2013 Program Chair Dr. Svetlana Kiritchenko, National Research Council Canada e-mail: svetlana kiritchenko @ nrc-cnrc gc ca -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

L’essor des Sciences et Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication, notamment des technologies du Web, dans l’ensemble de la société engendre des mutations dans les pratiques individuelles et collectives. L’ingénierie des connaissances accompagne cette évolution, en inventant les théories, les méthodes et les outils permettant l’intégration de la dimension « connaissance » dans des environnements informatiques dont la plasticité et la capacité à s’associer aux activités deviennent les vertus cardinales. Les modèles de l’ingénierie des connaissances se renouvellent et intègrent de plus en plus la dimension dynamique des situations liées à la massification des usages. La conférence est l’occasion de confronter les théories, les modèles, les méthodes, les outils, les observations des usages liés à ces évolutions et qui permettront d’aller plus loin. L’ingénierie des connaissances est directement liée au processus plus général de la « découverte » des connaissances, processus associant l’humain et l’environnement informatique. Ce processus se réalise selon des modalités qui s’inventent à un rythme accéléré avec le Web qui s’impose progressivement comme un unique environnement associant ressources informatiques et humains en réseaux. Les thèmes d'IC 2013 (liste non exhaustive) sont : *Modèles de connaissances et ontologies* - modèles, formalismes, langages formels et informels de représentation de connaissances - méthodes et outils pour le cycle de vie des représentations : détection de besoin, spécification, conception et réutilisation, diffusion, utilisation, évaluation, évolution, gestion - échange, interopérabilité et réutilisation des modèles, standardisation - terminologies, thesaurii, ontologies et lexiques - types d’ontologies et rôle des ontologies de référence - gestion de la dynamique des ontologies (versionnement, évolution, intégration et alignement) - raisonnements logiques, inférences et raisonnements à base de règles, approximations, raisonnement statistiques, raisonnement par analogie, raisonnement à partir de cas *Conception et construction de modèles de connaissances et d'ontologies* - acquisition de connaissances à partir de textes - peuplement de modèles de connaissances - inférence et règles métier : acquisition conception, réutilisation, évolution, évaluation, exploitations - découverte interactive de connaissances dans les données, dans les historiques, dans les interactions, sur le web, etc. - ontologies spatiales et temporelles - métrique et évaluation de la qualité des ontologies *Web des données, données ouvertes dans le cadre du Web Sémantique* - connaissance et réseaux sociaux sur le web - interconnexion de données - donnée ouvertes (territoriales, gouvernementales), annuaire et catalogage - gestion de données de flux - passage à l'échelle : gestion et interrogation de gros volumes de données - provenance et confiance dans les données - métrique et évaluation de la qualité des données *Interaction et visualisation des connaissances* - conception d'interactions et d'interfaces avec des systèmes à base de connaissances - visualisation de connaissances, d'ontologies - visualisation d'interconnexion de données, de raisonnement sur les données - profils utilisateurs, modèles de contexte et adaptation - évaluation d'interfaces consommant des données liées *Développements théoriques et interdisciplinaires de l'ingénierie des connaissances* - épistémologie de l'ingénierie des connaissances - théorie des organisations et ingénierie des connaissances - sciences humaines et sciences cognitives (ergonomie, psychologie, sociologie, linguistique, etc.) et ingénierie des connaissances - génie logiciel (langages et environnements, ingénierie des modèles, ingénierie des besoins, etc.) et ingénierie des connaissances *Applications et systèmes spécialisant ou adaptant des méthodes et techniques d’IC* - applications dans les domaines de la santé, de l'éducation et de l'apprentissage, de la culture, de la recherche documentaire, des transports intelligents, de l'informatique décisionnelle (BI), etc. - gestion des connaissances, mémoires d'entreprises - applications situées (dans le temps et l'espace) - aide à la conception - systèmes pour la collaboration et la coopération dans les organisations et les collectifs Les auteurs sont invités à présenter des articles longs, des articles courts, des posters et des démonstrations - Articles longs (16 p, présentation orale de 20 mn, 10 mn discussion) : Sont concernés des travaux aboutis, présentant des résultats validés ou des synthèses fouillées. - Articles courts (8p, présentation orale de 10 mn, 5 mn discussion) : Sont concernés des travaux en cours ou au stade de résultats partiels de recherches ou appliqués. Ce type de soumission correspond à des travaux innovants de qualité, mais dont la maturité ne permet pas des élaborations complètes et des conclusions définitives. - Posters et démonstrations (3p, présentation dans un espace de discussion) : Sont concernés des travaux qui démarrent, les premiers résultats de jeunes chercheurs. Les posters sont destinés à provoquer la discussion au sein de la communauté pour accompagner au mieux le démarrage des travaux présentés.

Among the most widely used, one may cite Tree-Adjoining Grammar (TAG) [Joshi et. Al, 1975], Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) [Bresnan and Kaplan, 1982], Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) [Steedman, 1987], or Head- driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) [Pollard and Sag, 1994]. These frameworks present theoretical and practical interests. From a theoretical point of view, they provide a formal device for the linguist to experiment with her/his theories. From a practical point of view, they make it possible to automatically process natural language in applications such as dialog systems, machine translation, etc. They differ in their expressivity and complexity. Some reveal themselves more adequate for the description of a given language than others. Still, for many of these frameworks, large resources (i.e., grammars) have been designed, at first by hand, and later via dedicated tools (e.g., integrated grammar environments such as XLE for LFG [King et al, 2000]). In this workshop, we are concerned with this complex task of grammar engineering, keeping in mind the two above-mentioned theoretical and practical interests. TOPICS ====== HMGE is open to submissions on topics including, but not limited to: * development, maintenance and enhancement of grammars * semi-automatic acquisition of grammars * debugging environments for grammar design * dedicated description languages for grammar engineering * applications of large-scale grammars VENUE ===== The workshop will be held as part of ESSLLI in August 2013 in Düsseldorf, Germany. More information about ESSLLI can be found at the ESSLLI web pages at http://esslli2013.de/. IMPORTANT DATES =============== Paper submission deadline: March 10, 2013 Reviews due: April 28, 2013 Camera ready version: May 19, 2013 Workshop: August 12-16, 2013 SUBMISSIONS =========== Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files and be prepared using the Springer LNAI/LNCS format. Detailed formatting instructions can be found at: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 HMGE accepts two kinds of submissions: - full papers (12 pages including references) reporting completed, significant research, - short papers (6 pages including references) reporting ongoing work and partial results. Each submission will be reviewed by three program committee members. Accepted long papers will be presented within 20 minutes talks plus 10 minutes for questions. Accepted short papers will be presented within 10 minutes talks plus 10 minutes for questions. Both paper types will be published in the workshop proceedings. Since reviewing will be blind, the submission should not include the authors' names and affiliations.

Important Dates ----------------------- 08 December 2012: Registration and Pre-Release Download 01 February 2013: Deadline for feedback and comments on pre-release data 01 March 2013: Release of full KBGen 2013 Task data Early June 2013: Release of Test Data and Deadline for System Outputs August 2013: Reporting and discussing results at ENLG Call for Pre-Registration and Sample Data Release ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We invite teams of researchers to pre-register now for the KBGen 2013 Task by filling in the registration form here: http://www.kbgen.org/register/ Once registered, teams will be given access to sample data with which to familiarise themselves with the input representation formats we have developed. We welcome comments and feedback till February, 1st 2013. The complete KBGen data will be distributed on March 1st, and the deadline for submitting system outputs on unseen test data will be in early June (exact date to be given later). Results and participating systems will be presented at ENLG in August 2013. Below we provide a brief overview of the KBGen Task. For more information please visit the other pages on the KBGen site (http://www.kbgen.org/). KBGen Task ------------------ The task for participating teams is to develop systems that map the input representations provided by the KBGen organisers to sentences, and to submit system outputs for the inputs in the test data set. Data ------ The KBGen Task data is derived from the AURA Knowledge Base which was developed in the context of the HALO Project at SRI International. This knowledge base encodes knowledge contained in a college-level biology textbook. We have processed and adapted this data so that each input provided by the KBGen task can be verbalised in a single, possibly complex, sentence. To minimise the amount of engineering required to participate, we also make available a lexicon mapping the concepts and relations present in the KBGen data to words. Evaluation -------------- Submitted system outputs will be evaluated by a variety of automatic metrics and human-assessed quality criteria. Input Representations ------------------------------- The input representations are bundles of triples expressing relations between entities. For the development phase, the data set will consist of input and output pairs, where each input is associated with one or more manually produced sentence verbalising this input. Here is an example of the input-output pairs that we propose for the challenge: "The rate of detoxification in the liver cell is directly proportional to the quantity of smooth endoplasmic reticulum in the liver cell." (KBGEN-INPUT :TRIPLES ( (|Detoxification19144| |base| |Liver-Cell19145|) (|Detoxification19144| |rate| |Rate-Value19132|) (|Rate-Value19132| |directly-proportional| |Quantity-Value19135|) (|Liver-Cell19145| |has-part| |Smooth-Endoplasmic-Reticulum19149|) (|Smooth-Endoplasmic-Reticulum19149| |quantity| |Quantity-Value19135|)) :INSTANCE-TYPES ( (|Detoxification19144| |instance-of| |Detoxification|) (|Rate-Value19132| |instance-of| |Rate-Value|) (|Liver-Cell19145| |instance-of| |Liver-Cell|) (|Smooth-Endoplasmic-Reticulum19149| |instance-of| |Smooth-Endoplasmic-Reticulum|) (|Quantity-Value19135| |instance-of| |Quantity-Value|)) :ROOT-TYPES ( (|Detoxification19144| |instance-of| |Event|) (|Liver-Cell19145| |instance-of| |Entity|) (|Rate-Value19132| |instance-of| |Property-Value|) (|Quantity-Value19135| |instance-of| |Property-Value|) (|Smooth-Endoplasmic-Reticulum19149| |instance-of| |Entity|))) As mentioned above, we make available a lexicon which maps each concept and relation present in the input to words.

Pourtant, force est de constater que les concepts et notions de base qui structurent ce domaine sont loin de faire consensus (non seulement d'un auteur ou d'une école à un(e) autre mais aussi, parfois, dans les écrits d'un même auteur). En ce qui concerne les langues 'verb-framed' ou à cadrage verbal (Talmy 1985, 2000), par exemple, on serait bien en mal de définir -- sur la base des tests linguistiques et critères sémantiques disponibles -- ce qu'est un verbe de déplacement « au sens strict » (par opposition à un verbe de « manière de déplacement »). Les notions de « changement de lieu » (Jackendoff 1983, 1990) et de « déplacement dirigé (inhérent) » (Levin 1993) forgées à cet effet se heurtent, en particulier, à de nombreux problèmes. Partant de ce constat, cette présentation montrera que le concept de « changement de relation locative élémentaire » proposé par Boons (1987) permet d'obtenir une caractérisation plus satisfaisante des verbes intransitifs (ou transitifs « indirects ») du français dénotant un déplacement (autonome) strict, à condition, toutefois, qu'il soit associé à celui de « changement d'emplacement » (Aurnague 2011a). Ces deux notions ouvrent la voie à une combinatoire complexe à partir de laquelle quatre classes de verbes et procès peuvent être définies. Les verbes et constructions verbales associant changement de relation locative élémentaire et changement d'emplacement (déplacements au sens strict) retiendront particulièrement notre attention et nous verrons de quelle manière ces deux traits interagissent dans leur sémantisme (verbe de changement d'emplacement + GP, concomitance ou succession des deux types de changements, notions de polarité et de chemin ou 'path'...). Enfin, quelques retombées récentes de cette approche seront évoquées, qu'il s'agisse de la comparaison de verbes au contenu sémantique proche (Aurnague 2011b), de la déduction des propriétés aspectuelles des prédicats (aspect interne ou lexical, Aktionsart) (Aurnague à paraître) ou des asymétries entre déplacements initiaux et finaux. *Références* Aurnague, M. 2011a.

Besides being personally identifiable, an author's style may also reveal her age and gender. Accurate predictors are of key interest to forensic linguists and marketers alike. Participants will be provided with a training data set that consists of documents written in both English and, for those interested in, Spanish too. With regard to age, we will consider posts of three classes: 10s (13-17), 20s (23-27), and 30s (33-47). Moreover, documents from authors who pretend to be minors will be included (e.g., documents composed of chat lines of sexual predators will be also considered).

For each of these levels NooJ provides linguists with one or more formal tools specifically designed to facilitate the description of each phenomenon, as well as parsing/development/debugging tools designed to be as computationally efficient as possible, from Finite-State to Turing machines. This approach distinguishes NooJ from other computational linguistic frameworks which provide a unique formalism. As a corpus processing tool, NooJ allows researchers in various social sciences to extract information from corpora by applying sophisticated queries based on concepts rather than word forms and build indices and concordances, add semantic annotations, perform statistical analyses on concepts, etc. The conference intends to: * give NooJ users and researchers in Linguistics and in Computational Linguistics the opportunity to meet and share their experience as developers, researchers and teachers ; * present to NooJ users the latest linguistic resources and NLP applications developed for/with NooJ, its latest functionalities, as well as its future developments ; * offer researchers and graduate students two tutorials (one basic and one advanced) to help them parse corpora and build NLP applications using NooJ. * provide the occasion to present and discover the recent developments of NooJ itself (v3). *Topics of interest* Typography, Spelling, Morphology, Linguistic resources, Lexical Analysis, Local Syntax, Structural Syntax, Syntactic Parsing, Transformational Analysis, Paraphrase Generation, Semantic annotations, Semantic analysis *Submission* Please send one abstract (up to 1 page, 400-600 words) in English to https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nooj2013 The deadline for the submission of the abstracts is February 15th, 2013.

The final goal is to stimulate the discussion on Information Access technologies and provide a forum in which invited speakers can share their experiences, identify common strategies and needs, and detect future challenges in this field. Gathering, sorting, evaluating and retrieving information is increasingly becoming crucial for professional (information) workers and also in every-day life. Consequently, information retrieval technology has been widely adopted in some fields, with some IR applications, such as Web search services becoming immensely popular. Academic research has started to branch into many aspects covering advanced IR issues such as the handling of multilingual and multimedia information, but there is as yet little take-up in operational systems for the proposed solutions. A methodology to perform an application-centric evaluation of operational information access systems will be presented and Best practice recommendations for IR system developers, IR application implementers and IR ap-plication maintainers will be given. Key speakers from both technology producers and users will be invited to present their experiences, requirements and problems with respect to Information Access technology.

Une embauche à l'issue du stage est envisagée. *Profil* : Bac +5 *Durée du stage* : de 3 à 6 mois selon le sujet choisi. *Lieu du stage* : Onyme (http://www.onyme.com), Euratechnologies (http://www.euratechnologies.com) Le stage s'inscrit au coeur de l'équipe de R&D composée d'un doctorant en informatique (4ème année), d'un docteur en informatique et du directeur technique de la société. Il se compose de *deux sujets au choix* sur le traitement de la langue française : * Sujet 1 : Évaluation de différents analyseurs lexicaux et syntaxiques sur des textes courts (http://blog.onyme.com/offre-de-stage-tal-2013/#suj1) * Sujet 2 : Reconnaissance / Extraction de thématiques dans des textes courts (http://blog.onyme.com/offre-de-stage-tal-2013/#suj2) Sujets Sujet 1 : Évaluation de différents analyseurs lexicaux et syntaxiques sur des textes courts *Durée souhaitée du stage* : de 4 à 6 mois, selon les connaissances du candidat. *Compétences souhaitées* : * Connaissances théoriques sur des analyseurs syntaxiques et lexicaux (la pratique est un plus); * Connaissances sur l'étiquetage grammatical et syntaxique de corpus écrits; * Motivé et autonome. *Description du sujet* : Les analyseurs lexicaux, i.e. lemmatiseurs et POS annotateurs, et syntaxiques fonctionnent soit par apprentissage, soit par règles. Ces outils, élaborés à partir de connaissances générales (ex : apprentissage à partir d'un gros corpus de journaux), sont sujets à erreur quand ils sont utilisés dans un domaine spécialisé. L'idée du stage est d'améliorer les analyses en fournissant des connaissances spécifiques aux analyseurs. Le sujet comporte plusieurs aspects : * élaboration de corpus arborés depuis les traitements clients destinés à l'évaluation et à l'apprentissage des analyseurs; * apprentissage spécifique, ou ajout/modification de règles, selon le type d'analyseur; * évaluation de différents analyseurs lexicaux sur nos données; * évaluation d'analyseurs syntaxiques de surface (chunker) et d'analyseurs partiels, ou élaboration d'un chunker. Sujet 2 : Reconnaissance / Extraction de thématiques dans des textes courts *Durée souhaitée du stage* : de 3 à 6 mois, selon les connaissances du candidat. *Compétences souhaitées* : * Connaissances sur les analyseurs syntaxiques : délimitation de syntagmes; * Programmation en langage orienté objet. Le langage JAVA est un plus; * Connaissances en apprentissage artificiel (classification thématique); * Connaissances en structure du discours (Ex. : "X mais Y" implique deux idées); * Motivé et autonome. *Description du sujet* : Les textes à analyser comportent des thématiques différentes relatives à un domaine. Par exemple, dans le domaine de la vente, les thématiques fréquemment abordées sont : * La tarification; * L'agencement des magasins; * L'implantation des magasins; * Le personnel. Le sujet du stage concerne la résolution des problématiques liées suivantes : * l'évaluation du nombre de thématique abordés dans un message; * la détection; * la séparation d'un message en plusieurs syntagmes thématiques. La liste des thèmes à détecter peut être connue à l'avance ou non. Dans le premier cas, des techniques relevant de la supervision peuvent être employées. Dans le second, il s'agit de découvrir de façon non supervisée les thèmes présents dans un corpus.

The aim of the HyTra workshop is to bring together and share ideas among researchers developing statistical, example-based, or rule-based translation systems and who enhance MT systems with elements from the other approaches. Hereby one relevant focus will be on effectively combining linguistic and data driven approaches (rule-based and statistical MT). Another focus will be on hybridization in the context of human translation. We solicit contributions including but not limited to the following topics: - ways and techniques of hybridization - architectures for the rapid development of hybrid MT systems - applications of hybrid systems - hybrid systems dealing with under-resourced languages - hybrid systems dealing with morphologically rich languages - using linguistic information (morphology, syntax, semantics) to enhance statistical MT (e.g. with hierarchical or factored models) - using contextual information to enhance statistical MT - bootstrapping rule-based systems from corpora - hybrid methods in spoken language translation - extraction of dictionaries from parallel and comparable corpora - induction of morphological, grammatical, and translation rules from corpora - machine learning techniques for hybrid MT - describing structural mappings between languages (e.g. tree-structures using synchronous/transduction grammars) - heuristics for limiting the search space in hybrid MT - alternative methods for the fair evaluation of the output of different types of MT systems (e.g. relying on linguistic criteria) - system combination approaches such as multi-engine MT (parallel) or automatic post-editing (sequential) - open source tools and free language resources for hybrid MT Contributions are to be organized into two tracks, corresponding to short or long papers. Short paper submission must describe original and unpublished work without exceeding five pages of content plus one extra page for references. Characteristics of short papers include: a small, focused contribution; work in progress; a negative result; an opinion piece; an interesting application nugget. Long paper submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished work without exceeding eight pages of content plus two extra pages for references. *Submission Instructions* Authors are invited to submit papers on original and previously unpublished work. Formatting should be according to ACL 2013 specifications using LaTeX or MS-Word style files, see *http://acl2013.org/site/call.html*. Reviewing of papers will be double-blind, so the submissions should not reveal the authors’ identity. Submission is electronic in PDF format using the START submission system at (URL to be announced in subsequent versions of this call) Double submission policy: Parallel submission to other meetings or publications are possible but must be immediately notified to the workshop contact person (see below). Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their research at the workshop. The papers will be published in the electronic workshop proceedings. These will be part of the ACL proceedings, published by ACL. They will also be made available online via the ACL Anthology. *Important Dates* April 30, 2013: Paper submissions due May 24, 2013: Notification of acceptance Jun 7, 2013: Camera ready papers due August 8 or 9, 2013: Workshop in Sofia *Organizers* Marta R.

La terminologie s’intéresse aux dénominations des concepts et des objets dans un domaine précis, mais aussi aux unités telles que les collocations, les combinaisons lexicales ou les phraséologies en usage, qui font partie des vocabulaires, des discours et des langues de spécialité. D’un point de vue méthodologique, le terminologue développe des pratiques qui visent la conception et la création de ressources terminologiques utiles à toute fin langagière : traduction, aménagement, lexicographie, enseignement des langues à des fins spécifiques, etc. La qualité et la rigueur des discours de spécialité étant directement dépendantes de la relation entre l’organisation lexicale et l’organisation des connaissances, une réflexion conjointe entre les terminologues, traducteurs, lexicographes, ingénieurs des connaissances et informaticiens s’impose. La terminologie et l’ontologie partagent des objectifs similaires dans leur compréhension et la description de la réalité. Les ontologies issues de l’ingénierie des connaissances constituent aujourd’hui une des voies les plus prometteuses pour la modélisation du système conceptuel des terminologies. Au cœur de nombreuses applications du monde numérique, les ontologies permettent l’opérationnalisation des terminologies et leur utilisation à différentes fins : aide à la traduction, gestion et traitement de l’information, gestion des connaissances et de contenus multilingues, web sémantique, etc. Par nature transdisciplinaires, la terminologie et l’ontologie mobilisent des pratiques et des théories qui relèvent de nombreuses disciplines dont principalement la linguistique, les langues de spécialité, l’épistémologie, l’ingénierie des connaissances et les sciences de l’information. Publics & Disciplines : ---------------------------- Les conférences TOTh visent à rassembler chercheurs, enseignants, formateurs, utilisateurs et industriels dont les préoccupations relèvent à la fois de la terminologie et de l’ontologie, et de façon plus générale de la langue et de l’ingénierie des connaissances. Elles se veulent un lieu d’échange et de partage où sont exposés problèmes, solutions et retours d’expériences tant sur le plan théorique qu’applicatif ainsi que les nouvelles tendances et perspectives des disciplines associées : terminologie, langues de spécialité, linguistique, intelligence artificielle, ingénierie des connaissances, systèmes d’information, ingénierie collaborative, sciences de l’information, documentation, etc. Prix « Jeune chercheur » : -------------------------------- Depuis 2011 un prix « Jeune chercheur » est décerné par le comité de programme lors de la conférence. Thèmes de la Conférence (liste non exhaustive) : -------------------------------------------------------------- Approches linguistiques : - langues de spécialité, traduction, lexicographie de spécialité, aménagement linguistique et terminologique, communication de spécialité, - multilinguisme, traduction, - théories du texte et des discours, sémantique lexicale, - usages, variations, collocations terminologiques, phraséologie, - produits terminologiques, lexiques, dictionnaires, thésaurus, - traitement de corpus : extraction de termes, extraction de connaissances, constitution et alignement de corpus, - construction et maintenance de ressources terminologiques, harmonisation des termes, harmonisation des concepts, normalisation, importance et limite des corpus, - validation de la qualité des données, rôle des experts.

Terminology is about names for concepts and objects in a given subject area, but it is also concerned with other units such as collocations, lexical combinations or phraseologies in actual use, all of which are part of specialized languages and discourse. The terminologist’s job is to design and produce terminological resources which can be used for a variety of language-based activities : translation, corpus language planning, teaching language for special purposes, etc. The quality and the precision of specialised discourse is directly linked to the relation between the way lexical items are ordered and the way knowledge is organised: sufficient encouragement in itself for active collaboration between terminologists, translators, lexicographers, knowledge engineers and IT specialists. Terminology and ontology share similar objectives in the way they approach and describe reality. Ontologies, which come from knowledge engineering, are now one of the most promising ways to model conceptual systems for terminologies. Of the numerous applications to be found in the digital world, ontologies are particularly useful to make terminologies operational and ensure their applications in various roles : as translation tools, for information and knowledge management, the semantic web, etc. Terminology and ontology are both basically transdisciplinary in approach, and both reach out to take on board practices and theories from many different subject fields, in particular from linguistics, language for special purposes, epistemology, artificial intelligence, information sciences. Target audience & Disciplines: --------------------------------------- The TOTh conferences aim to bring together all those involved in LSP, terminology and knowledge engineering and, more generally, all persons interested in issues related to language and knowledge. They are designed to be platforms of exchange and sharing where problems are outlined and solutions and feedback provided, for both theoretical and applied perspectives as well as for the new trends and perspectives of associated disciplines: terminology, languages for special purposes, linguistics, artificial intelligence, knowledge engineering, information systems, collaborative engineering, information sciences, documentation, etc. Young Researcher Prize: -------------------------------- Since 2011, a Young Researcher Prize is awarded by the Program committee and bestowed on the winner during the Conference. Conference topics (non exhaustive list): -------------------------------------------------- Linguistic approaches: - language for special purposes, translation, language and terminology planning, specialized multilingual communication, - usage, variation, term collocations, lexical combination, - terminological products: glossaries, dictionaries, thesauri, - corpus processing and natural language processing: text mining, extracting terms, extracting knowledge, corpus building, corpus aligning, - creating and maintaining terminological resources, harmonizing terms and concepts, importance and limitations of corpora, - theories of meaning, semantics, - validating the quality of data, the role of experts.

Christophe Roche - Université de Savoie - Pr. Rute Costa - Universidade Nova de Lisboa Présentation générale Dans la société de l'information, les terminologies sont indispensables à une communication spécialisée rigoureuse et efficace. Les terminologues jouent un rôle central dans toute activité professionnelle où les compétences discursives, le transfert et l'organisation des connaissances sont requis. Décrire le concept, pour mieux trouver la dénomination dans un contexte donné, est une des fonctions du terminologue et la construction du système notionnel une des tâches centrales de son activité. Se posent alors le problème des méthodes et des outils pour la définition du système conceptuel, mais également celui des outils pour la définition et la gestion des terminologies. Dans ce cadre, les ontologies, au sens de l'ingénierie des connaissances, offrent de nouvelles perspectives et de nouveaux marchés pour les terminologues. Réciproquement, dans le contexte des nombreuses applications informatiques à base d'ontologies, que ce soit pour des applications de traitement de l'information ou de gestion des connaissances, se pose le problème de la prise en compte des terminologies lors de l'acquisition des connaissances du domaine. Si les corpus de spécialités constituent une source privilégiée d'information, il reste à définir des méthodes d'analyse qui tiennent compte des différences qui existent entre les textes et la conceptualisation formelle. La terminologie permet d'y répondre en distinguant les dimensions linguistique et conceptuelle. Elle établit de plus des principes théoriques et méthodologiques utiles pour la construction d'ontologies. Objectifs La formation vise à promouvoir la collaboration entre les professionnels de la langue et de la connaissance. Elle a également pour objectif de présenter les théories, méthodes et outils de construction d'ontologies à des fins terminologiques, dotant ainsi : - les professionnels de la langue d'une approche méthodologique et systématique (raisonnement formel) pour la définition du système conceptuel, particulièrement utile pour l'opérationnalisation des terminologies ; - les professionnels de la connaissance de compétences linguistiques indispensables pour l'acquisition de connaissances à partir de ressources linguistiques. Publics visés Linguistes, Terminologues, Lexicographes, Traducteurs, Documentalistes, Ingénieurs cogniticiens, Informaticiens Programme Une part importante de la formation sera consacrée à des travaux pratiques pour la construction d'ontologies à l'aide d'environnements logiciels. 1.

Webinar Overview Historically, MT post-editing has been thought of as brute-force and mindless correction of terrible MT errors that many translators and agencies want to avoid at all costs. And with some of the bad MT solutions and “upload and pray” MT solutions out there, this may in fact be true. However, with good, responsive MT platforms like Asia Online’s Language Studio™, MT post-editing can be a dramatically different affair where work get done faster without compromising final quality – and in some cases improving quality over a human only approach. It is also possible for all the stakeholders, the translation agency, translators and the final customer to all benefit economically from these more efficient production systems. In this webinar we will explore the different ways that Asia Online works together with our customers to ensure that the MT post-editing experience is positive and results in measurable productivity gains. We will describe how a custom MT system evolves and improves in quality over time within the Language Studio™ platform and how this impacts MT post-editing. Joining Asia Online’s Dion Wiggins and Kirti Vashee is Scott Bass, CEO of Advanced Language Translation, who will present about their real-world experience with Language Studio™ custom MT engines, how they evolved in quality and productivity, and the resulting expansion and new business relationships. Key topics covered include: Best practices in measuring quality and productivity Continuous improvement of custom MT engines A simple 4-step approach to measuring MT quality and determining fair post-editing rates Fair compensation for post editing MT Case Study: Advanced Language Translation – MT post-editing in the real-world Did you attend one of our previous webinars?

Tous les aspects du phénomène sont concernés : synchronie et diachronie, acquisition L1 et L2, modélisation, sociolinguistique, variabilité, phonétique, lexicologie, morphologie, syntaxe, prosodie, orthographe, vision etc. Le groupe de travail se réunit une fois par mois, à Paris en général, mais aussi à Orléans, Grenoble etc., selon le calendrier joint. Ces réunions sont aussi peu formelles que possible. Deux collègues organisent chacun une présentation de 45 minutes plus 15 minutes de débat, sur un thème annoncé. Ces présentations consistent en exposé, recherches en cours, lectures critiques de publications, revues de sous-domaines, présentations de ressources, analyses quantitatives ou qualitatives etc. Le format des séances est souple et adaptable. Il doit favoriser les échanges et les discussions. Un site web d'échange, permettant de poster des billets, des articles, des références bibliographiques, des papiers récents est en cours de construction (atanas at u-paris10.fr). Il pointera sur les travaux et les ressources des laboratoires. Le groupe de travail est largement ouvert et vous êtes cordialement invité à y participer. Merci également de diffuser cette annonce auprès de vos collègues et étudiants-chercheurs avancés. La coordination du groupe est assurée en 2013 à Paris Ouest par Bernard Laks (bernard.laks at u-paris10.fr) et Julie Peuvergne (julie.peuvergne at yahoo.fr). Pour vous inscrire sur la liste de diffusion, merci de leur indiquer votre intérêt pour participer à ces réunions et les coordonnées mail de toute autre personne intéressée (copie aux deux coordonnateurs). La prochaine séance, à laquelle vous êtes cordialement invité, aura lieu le 21 janvier 2013 de 14h à 16h à Modyco (Paris Ouest Nanterre, Bat A 4eme étage salle de réunion). La première séance du groupe de travail sera consacrée à la thématique « Ressources et corpus », coordonnée par Olivier Baude et Céline Dugua : La séance « Ressources et corpus » prendra la forme d’un atelier de travail autour du codage de la liaison dans les corpus. Dans un premier temps nous ferons un rapide panorama des corpus oraux francophones et de leur utilisation possible (ou non) dans le cadre de recherches sur la liaison avec un focus sur quatre corpus et leur méthodologie de codage. - Alipe « Acquisition de la liaison et interactions parents enfants » : corpus dense d’interactions parents-enfants - Colaje « Communication langagière chez le jeune enfant » : corpus d’interactions parents-enfants, suivi longitudinal sur plusieurs années - HPOL « Corpus d’hommes politiques » : corpus de paroles d’hommes politiques - PFC « Phonologie du Français contemporain » : corpus regroupant quatre tâches de productions visant à rendre compte du l’usage de la liaison et du schwa dans différents points d’enquête A l’issue de ces présentations, nous proposons de consacrer la seconde moitié de la séance à discuter de l’opportunité d’un codage « interopérable » et à en définir les premiers éléments, le cas échéant.

However, the majority of the available Web content is still unstructured or semi-structured. As a general trend, unstructured data seems to be growing faster than structured data. According to a 2011 IDC study, unstructured data will account for 90 percent of all data created in the next decade. As the main goal of the Web of Data is to stimulate the emergence of new dedicated applications giving the machines ability to process information, there is a strong need to extract as far as possible structured data from unstructured content available on the web. Furthermore, structured data sources provide entity to entity interconnections, resulting in a Web of Linked Entities spanning structured and unstructured data. According to this, there is also a strong emergent need to study how to associate non structured content (like textual documents) and structured content (like RDF triples) with information retrieval, extraction, integration and exploration existing techniques. The WoLE workshop series envisions a Web of Linked Entities (WoLE), which transparently connects the World Wide Web (WWW) and the Giant Global Graph (GGG) using methods from Information Retrieval (IR), Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Database Systems (DB) research communities. The previous edition of WoLE workshop have shown that different methods involved in specific research tasks of those communities (like co-reference detection in NLP or information extraction in IR) can provide different ways to improve the web of Linked Entities content and its relation with unstructured documents. According to this, the primary goal of WoLE is to confront propositions from IR, NLP and DB research communities describing how their specific methods can improve quality of the Web data, structure its documents and help to explore its content. OBJECTIVES AND TOPICS (but are not limited to): * Text and web mining * Pattern and semantic analysis of natural language, reading the web, learning by reading * Large-scale information extraction * Usage mining * Entity resolution and automatic discovery of entities * Frequent pattern analysis of entities and/or relationships * Entity linking, named entity disambiguation, cross-document co-reference resolution * Ontology representation of natural language text * Analysis of ontology models for natural language text * Learning and refinement of ontologies * Natural language taxonomies modeled to Semantic Web ontologies * Disambiguation with the support of knowledge bases * Multilingual information extraction * Use cases of entity recognition for Linked Data applications * Relationship extraction, slot filling * Impact of entity linking on information retrieval, semantic search, entity oriented search * Semantic relatedness and similarity using entities and relations SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION: We invite submissions of full papers (max. 8 pages) and short papers (max. 4 pages).

Le séminaire Mathématiques pour la linguistique de corpus reprend cette année et aura lieu le jeudi 31 janvier à 10 heures en Salle 407, Batiment A, Université Paris Ouest Nanterre. Les intervenants seront: Linguistique: Basilio Calderone - Modéliser le mot par activations phonotactiques Université de Toulouse-Le Mirail Le problème de la représentation du mot 'ortho-phonologique' dans le lexique mental du locuteur constitue un point crucial dans les recherches cognitivo-linquistiques des dernières années (Laudanna et al. 1992 ; Caramazza et Janssen 2009). Loin d'être confiné dans le domaine linguistique et comportemental, le débat touche des aspects de la réflexion contemporaine sur la nature des processus computationnels d'élaboration des données linguistiques en général (voir par exemple Plaut et al. 1996 et Albright 2010 pour une vue d'ensemble). Nous proposons une modélisation computationnelle qui tente d'intégrer les différentes niveaux d'organisation du mot: a) un niveau d'organisation de type local et phonotactique (les séquences licites de phonèmes dans une langue) et b) un niveau d'organisation global et lexical (basé sur une conception holistique du mot et des effets de voisinage lexical, 'lexical neighborhood'). Mathématiques: Ana Karina Fermin - Techniques d'apprentissage, planification d’expériences et sélection de modèles pour le problème de régression Modal'X - Université Paris Ouest Nanterre Dans un modèle de régression, on souhaite estimer une fonction inconnue à partir d'un échantillon d'apprentissage (t1,y1), ...(tn,yn) . Dans de nombreux cas, en particulier dans le milieu industriel, la mesure de yi au point ti est coûteuse. On étudie ici, comment choisir des points ti les plus informatifs possibles (selon un certain critère de décision sans connaitre les valeurs observées yi) . Dans un premier temps, nous proposons une nouvelle technique pour la sélection d'un sous-échantillon optimal (à modèle fixé). Nous proposons ensuite des stratégie pour sélectionner simultanément un échantillon optimal et un modèle optimal en combinant apprentissage actif et sélection de modèles.

As a way to avoid both the shallowness of word-based representations and the lack of coverage of specialized linguistic features, we use a graph-based representation of discourse segments, which allows for a more abstract (and hence generalizable) notion of syntactic (and partially of semantic) structure. Empirical evaluation on a hand-annotated corpus of German discourse relations shows that our graph- based approach not only provides a suitable representation for the linguistic factors that are needed in disambiguating discourse relations, but also improves results over a strong state-of-the-art baseline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Thu Jan 17 20:48:03 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:48:03 +0100 Subject: Appel: ENLG 2013 Message-ID: Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2013 16:47:38 +0100 From: Horacio Saggion Message-ID: X-url: http://www.um.edu.mt/events/enlg2013/ **************************** CFP *************************************** ENLG 2013 - 14th European Workshop on Natural Language Generation An ACL 2013 Workshop Sofia, Bulgaria August 8-9, 2013 FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS 1. ENLG 2013 ------------- Natural Language Generation (NLG) is a subfield of Natural Language Processing that focuses on the derivation of coherent text or speech from some underlying non-linguistic representation of information, such as databases or knowledge sources. Over the past several years, NLG has developed into a thriving area, with numerous applications which have both theoretical and practical interest. Contemporary work in NLG ranges from a focus on specific tasks, such as linguistic realisation of semantic forms and the generation of referring expressions, to complete solutions, ranging from data-to-text systems which summarise raw numerical datasets to the embedding of NLG components in multimedia and hypertext environments, or interactive systems. Recent work has also evinced interest in topics such as the handling of uncertainty in input data and its implications for the resulting text, the generation of coherent narrative text, and the handling of time. In keeping with developments in NLP more generally, these topics are being approached using a variety of techniques, from traditional, rule-based approaches to data-driven ones where machine learning and statistical modelling play a central role. Given its focus on the generation of text or speech, the field of NLG has clear links to other areas of NLP, such as Automatic Summarisation, Machine Translation, and Dialogue Systems. The ENLG 2013 workshop forms part of a biennial series of workshops on natural language generation that has been running since 1987, providing a regular forum for presentation of research in this area, both for NLG specialists and for researchers from related areas. ENLG is endorsed by the ACL Special Interest Group on Generation (SIGGEN). The 2013 edition will take place as an ACL workshop in Sofia, Bulgaria. It will continue the tradition of ENLG workshops, but also seeks to enhance the ties between the NLG community and related communities. For this edition, we especially invite submissions in areas dealing with NLG and summarisation. 2. Call for papers and demos ------------------------------ ENLG 2013 invites substantial, original, and unpublished submissions on all topics related to natural language generation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Affective / emotional generation - Content and text planning - Generation for embodied agents and robots - Evaluation of NLG systems - Data-to-text generation - Lexicalisation - Multimedia or multimodal generation - Story-telling and narrative generation - NLG for real-world applications - NLG in linguistically motivated frameworks - Personalization and personality of text - Psycholinguistics and NLG - Referring expression generation - Surface realization - Machine learning approaches to NLG tasks - Text-to-text generation and summarisation - NLG techniques for paraphrase generation - NLG techniques for abstractive summarisation This year, we also invite submissions for system demonstrations. Demo papers should describe implemented systems, which will be presented during demo sessions throughout the duration of the workshop. 3. Submission and format ------------------------- ENLG has three submission categories, long and short papers, and demo papers: - Long papers are most appropriate for presenting substantial research results and must not exceed eight (8) pages of content, with up to two additional pages for references (these will be orally presented); - Short papers are more appropriate for presenting an ongoing research effort and must not exceed four (4) pages, including references (these will be presented as posters during the poster session). - Demo papers should be no more than two pages in length, including references, and should describe implemented systems which are of relevance to the NLG community. Demo papers will be included in the proceedings. Authors of demo papers should be willing to present a demo of their system during ENLG 2013. The only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe PDF. Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings. Use of the ACL style files (available from http://acl2013.org/site/call.html) is strongly recommended. Reviewing will be blind, so you should avoid identifying the authors within the paper. Submissions should be uploaded to the Easychair website for the workshop (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=enlg2013). 4.

Bien que les analyseurs syntaxiques modernes, appris sur corpus, atteignent des performances globales tout à fait satisfaisantes, on remarque souvent que les informations utiles aux applications sont mal analysées. Pour pallier ce problème, il peut être intéressant d'apprendre un analyseur pour une application précise, par exemple la traduction automatique, les systèmes de questions/réponses, ou l'extraction de relations/événements dans des textes. Récemment, Hall et al. [TDPJOMO] ont proposé une méthode d'apprentissage en ligne (de type perceptron) pour intégrer des fonctions de perte non plus strictement syntaxiques mais qui portent plus librement sur des structures induites par les structures syntaxiques, notamment les structures produites par les applications en aval. Le but de ce stage est d'étudier cette méthode, l'apprentissage multi-objectif, de la généraliser à d'autres algorithmes d'apprentissage en ligne, de l'implanter dans un analyseur standard -- en l'occurrence [MSTparser] -- et de l'appliquer à la tâche d'extraction de relations/événements sur des textes biomédicaux. profil recherché: Nous cherchons un candidat : - de niveau M2 - compétent en java et python - ayant des notions d'apprentissage automatique - avec un intérêt pour le traitement automatique des langues détails: Dans un premier temps, l'étudiant devra se familiariser avec : - la notion d'extraction de relations - la chaîne de traitement [TEES] qui a gagné le challenge BioNLP 2009 - le corpus GENIA sur lequel le travail portera - l'analyseur MSTParser Dans la suite du stage, il devra d'abord évaluer la chaîne d'extraction lorsqu'elle est utilisée avec le MSTParser sur une grammaire apprise indépendamment de la tâche. Il s'agira ensuite d'implanter un algorithme d'apprentissage multi-objectif de la grammaire et d'évaluer son incidence sur les performances du système. contexte: Équipe RCLN du LIPN, Université Paris 13. durée: 6 mois contact: Contacter Joseph Le Roux (leroux at univ-paris13.fr) et Antoine Rozenknop (antoine.rozenknop at lipn.univ-paris13.fr) en joignant un CV au mail. divers: Stage rémunéré dans le cadre d'une opération du labex [EFL].

The workshop 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. === Motivation and Topics of Interest === In recent years there has been an increasing interest in accessibility and usability issues. 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, NLP4ITA, etc.). However, language resources and tools to develop assistive technologies are still scarce. This workshop will give an opportunity for individuals from different communities to present research findings, discover future challenges, and discuss potential collaboration. We welcome papers describing tools, resources, models, techniques and evaluation from all areas of natural language processing tailored to accessibility and assistive technologies. These include, but are not limited to, the following: - Resources: corpora of inaccessible documents, aligned corpora, gold-standards and annotation schemes. - Evaluation, complexity and readability methodologies and metrics. - Novel modeling and machine learning techniques for improving accessibility. - Natural language generation for improving accessibility. - NLP for Web accessibility. - Text adaptation, elaboration, simplification and summarization. - User studies. - NLP tools for accessibility === Submission Information === We encourage contributions in the form of full papers (up to 8 pages long + 2 pages references). Papers should follow the NAACL format which is available at the NAACL 2013 Web Site (http://naacl2013.naacl.org/CFP.aspx). The submission process will be online using the START conference system. All accepted papers will be presented orally and published in the workshop proceedings. The workshop will feature an invited speaker. === Important dates === Paper submission deadline: 8th March 2013 Notification of acceptance: 31st March 2013 Camera-ready version: 12th April 2013 NAACL 2013 Workshops: 13th or 14th June (TO BE ANNOUNCED) === Organizers === Ricardo Baeza-Yates (Universidad Pompeu Fabra, Yahoo!)

It will be held over 2 days: the Thursday and Friday before Interspeech.). This workshop will provide a meeting place for the different communities interested into why, how and when speech is used by humans for signalling socio-affective functions. It will be dedicated to building interdisciplinary research and cross-fertilization between the different scientific communities All areas related to human communication are concerned: language and speech computing, robotics or virtual agents, as well as linguistics, phonetics, pragmatics, didactics, sociology, psychology, neuropsychology, ethology, biology, etc. The organisation of affect is complex – from low-level emotion automatic or reflexive processing to higher cognitive levels , culture-dependent, language-organized, controlled processing. Speech can signal some very rich social and emotional cues, reflecting personality, social role, the cultural/language specificities in all human interactions and more broadly in human communication. This workshop will be especially the place where “social emotions” will be debated from different points of view, with different meanings depending on the domain. --- The intended contributions can be related, but not limited to: - social emotions, social affect: theories or models, how and why signalled - social affect signals (e.g. expressions of automatic emotions and more social emotions, attitudes, intentions, mental states, cognitive processing, feelings...): corpus, description, annotation, etc - the cultural contrast of affective social speech - psychological/neuropsychological models and cues for social affect processing - social and anthropological models for analysing affective processing and emotions expressions - social affect in Human Machine Interaction and dialog - multimodality of the social signals in face to face speech interactions - the place of social speech affect in L2 learning - the challenge of social signals for robots and embodied virtual agents - social affect in speech technologies: speech synthesis, recognition or translation - speech social affect within personality, social rule and culture - lexicon of social affect in speech - sentiment analysis/opinion mining in speech - etc ******* Important dates: paper submission: 22 april 2103 acceptation notification: 17 june 2013 final submission: 22 july 2013 early registration: 27 june 2013 late registration: 20 july 2013 ---- WASSS overlaps 1 day with SLPAT at the same place: it will be possible to register WASSS together with SLPAT http://www.slpat.org/slpat2013/ (decreased fees) --- submission Papers should be a maximum of 4 pages Interspeech format (see submission guidelines on Interspeech site Every paper will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the scientific committee (extension of the program committee).

Given a two-word noun compound, the participants are asked to produce an explicitly ranked list of its free paraphrases. The list will be automatically compared and evaluated against a similarly ranked list of paraphrases proposed by human annotators, recruited and managed through Amazon's Mechanical Turk. The comparison of raw paraphrases will be sensitive to syntactic and morphological variations. The ranking of paraphrases will be based on their relative popularity among annotators. To achieve a reliable ranking, highly similar paraphrases will be grouped so as to downplay superficial differences in syntax and morphology.

Among many others, two influential proposals illustrate this trend: latent Dirichlet allocation and neural network based language models. These approaches are motivated by improving the generalization power of the discrete standard models, by dealing with the data sparsity issue and by efficiently handling a wide context. Despite the success of single word vector space models, they are limited since they do not capture compositionality. This prevents them from gaining a deeper understanding of the semantics of longer phrases or sentences. Another different trend of research on continuous vector space models belongs to the family of spectral methods. The motivation in that context is that working in a continuous space allows for the design of algorithms that are not plagued with the local minima issues that discrete latent space models tend to suffer from. In this workshop, we invite submissions of papers on continuous vector space models for natural language processing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * learning algorithms for continuous vector space models, * their compositionality, * their use in NLP applications, * spectral learning for NLP, * neural networks for NLP, * latent Dirichlet allocation and other continuous representations of documents * tensor models * distributed semantic representations INVITED SPEAKERS There will be two invited speakers Mirella Lapata and Xavier Carreras, and a panel discussion lead by Chris Manning. SUBMISSION INFORMATION Authors should submit a full paper of up to 8 pages in electronic, PDF format, with up to 2 additional pages for references. The reported research should be substantially original. The papers will be presented orally or as posters. All submissions must be in PDF format and must follow the ACL 2013 formatting requirements (available at the ACL 2013 website). We strongly advise the use of the provided LaTeX template files.

Elle aborde la tâche d’extraction de lexique en chinois en utilisant des techniques se basant sur des caractéristiques linguistiques de la langue chinoise. La thèse traite également de la manière d’évaluer l’extraction de lexique dans un environnement industriel. La première partie de la thèse est consacrée à la description du contexte de l’étude. Nous nous attachons dans un premier temps à décrire les concepts linguistiques d’unité lexicale et de lexique, et nous donnons une description du processus de construction des unités lexicales en chinois contemporain. Nous faisons ensuite un inventaire des différentes techniques utilisées par la communauté scientifique pour traiter la tâche de l’extraction de lexique en chinois contemporain. Nous concluons cette partie par une description des pratiques d’extraction de lexique en milieu industriel, et nous proposons une formalisation des critères utilisés par les terminographes d’entreprise pour sélectionner les unités lexicales pertinentes. La deuxième partie du mémoire porte sur la description d’une méthode d’extraction de lexique en chinois contemporain et sur son évaluation. Nous introduisons une nouvelle méthode numérique non supervisée s’appuyant sur des caractéristiques structurelles de l’unité lexicale en chinois et sur des particularités syntaxiques du chinois. La méthode comporte un module optionnel permettant une interaction avec un opérateur (i.e. semi-automatique). Dans la section consacrée à l’évaluation, nous évaluons d’abord le potentiel de la méthode en comparant les résultats de l’extraction avec un standard de référence et une méthode de référence. Nous mettons ensuite en œuvre une évaluation plus pragmatique de la méthode en mesurant les gains apportés par l’usage de la méthode en comparaison avec l’extraction manuelle de lexique par des terminographes. Les résultats obtenus par notre méthode sont de bonne qualité et sont meilleurs que ceux produits par la méthode de référence sur le standard de référence. Ces résultats sont encourageants, mais ils doivent être confirmés par une évaluation plus complète. L’évaluation pragmatique montre que la méthode n’améliore pas significativement la productivité des terminographes, mais permet d’extraire des unités lexicales différentes de celles obtenues manuellement. Abstract This thesis deals with lexical unit extraction in contemporary Chinese from a corpus of specialized texts. It addresses the task of Chinese lexicon extraction using techniques based on linguistic characteristics of the Chinese language. The thesis also discusses how to evaluate the extraction of a lexicon in an industrial environment. The first part of the thesis describes the context of the study. We focus on describing the linguistic concepts of vocabulary and lexical units, and we also give a description of the construction of lexical units in contemporary Chinese. We then make a inventory of the different techniques used by the scientific community to address the task of extracting a contemporary Chinese lexicon. We conclude this section by describing lexicon extraction practices in industry, and we propose a formalization of the criteria used by terminologists to select the relevant lexical units. The second part of this thesis deals with the description of a method for extracting Chinese contemporary lexicon and its evaluation. We introduce a new numerical unsupervised method based on structural features of the lexical unit in Chinese and syntactic features of Chinese. The method includes an optional module to interact with a user (i.e. semi-automatic). In the section related to the evaluation, we first evaluate the potential of the method by comparing extraction results to a reference standard and a reference method. We then implement a more pragmatic evaluation of the method by measuring the gains using this method as opposed to manual lexicon extraction by terminologists. The results obtained by our method are better than those produced by the reference method on the reference standard. These results are encouraging, but need to be confirmed by a more comprehensive study. The pragmatic evaluation shows that the method does not significantly improve the productivity of terminologists but can extract different lexical units than those obtained manually. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Thu Jan 24 19:36:44 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:36:44 +0100 Subject: Appel: Ateliers TALN'2013 (extension de la date de soumission) Message-ID: Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 16:37:40 +0100 From: Emmanuel Morin Message-ID: <51015544.2020501 at univ-nantes.fr> DERNIER APPEL À ATELIERS ------------------------ TALN'2013 20e conférence sur le Traitement Automatique des Langues Naturelles Centre de Congrès Les Atlantes aux Sables d'Olonne du 17 au 21 juin 2013 CALENDRIER ---------- - Date limite de soumission : 1 février 2013 - Réponse du comité de programme : 8 février 2013 - Version finale des articles : 3 mai 2013 - Date des ateliers : 21 juin 2013 Organisée par l'équipe TALN du LINA (Laboratoire d’Informatique de Nantes Atlantiques) et l’équipe LST du LIUM (Laboratoire d'Informatique de l'Université du Maine), la 20e conférence sur le Traitement Automatique des Langues Naturelles (TALN) se tiendra du 17 au 21 juin 2013 au Centre de Congrès Les Atlantes aux Sables d'Olonne.

Résumé : The current literature on morphological processing is dominated by the view that reading a complex word is a two-staged process, with an early blind morphemic decomposition process followed by a late process of semantic recombination (Taft, 2004; Rastle and Davis, 2008a). Various behavioral and magneto- and electroencephalography studies suggest semantic recombination would take place approximately 300-500 ms post onset of the visual stimulus (Lavric et al., 2007). However, eye-tracking studies show that both simple and complex words are read at a rate of 4 to 5 words/second (Rayner, 1998). We report an eye-tracking experiment tracing the reading of English compounds in simple sentences. For about 33% of the trials, a single fixation sufficed for understanding the meaning of the compound. For such trials, the meaning of the compound was available already some 140 ms after the eye first landed on the modifier. All first fixations also revealed an effect of the semantic relatedness of the modifier and head constituents, gauged with a latent semantic analysis (LSA) similarity measure. These results indicate a much earlier involvement of semantics than predicted by the first-form-then-meaning scenario. Second and subsequent fixation durations revealed that at later processing stages very different semantic processes were involved, gauged by modifier-compound and head-compound LSA similarity measures. Computational modeling of the first fixation with naive discrimination learning (Baayen et al., 2011) indicated that the early (and only the early) semantic effect arises due to the model's connection weights' sensitivity to the collocational co-occurence statistics of orthographic and semantic information carried by word trigrams. We understand the LSA effects arising at later fixations as reflecting semantic processes seeking to resolve the uncertainty about the targeted meaning that arises as an unintended and time-costly side effect of later fixations causing the head's meaning to be co-activated along with the compound's meaning. Instead of viewing blind morphological decomposition as the gateway through which meaning can be reached, we think that when the meaning of the head becomes available, due to the (non-morphological) nature of visual information uptake when the initial landing position of the eye is non-optimal, understanding comes with greater cognitive costs: Decomposition makes things worse. We speculate that the late semantic effects in the electrophysiological literature, especially those around the N400 time window, reflect late semantic cleaning operations.

Edinburg) Simplicity and Expressivity Compete in Cultural Evolution: Linguistic Structure is the Result. Résumé : Language, like other human behaviours, exhibits striking systematic structure. For example, two central design features of human language are the way in which sentences are composed of recombinable words, and the way in which those words in turn are created out of combinations of reusable sounds. These properties make language unique among communication systems and enable us to convey an open-ended array of messages. Recently, researchers have turned to cultural evolution as a possible mechanism to explain systematic structure such as this in language. In this talk, I will briefly present a series of experiments and a computational model that demonstrate why this is a promising avenue for research. Using diffusion chain methods in the laboratory, we can observe how behaviour evolves as it is transmitted through repeated cycles of learning and production (a process known as "iterated learning"). Across a wide range of experimental contexts, we observe an apparent universal: behaviour transmitted by iterated learning becomes increasingly compressible. When combined with a pressure to also be expressive, this may be sufficient to deliver up the structural design features of language. Although this work is focussed on human language as a test case, the conclusions are quite general. Cultural transmission by iterated learning is an adaptive process that delivers systematic structure for free. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 26 19:54:52 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2013 20:54:52 +0100 Subject: Appel: TOTh 2013, Date limite de soumission et Conference invitee, Disputatio Message-ID: Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 10:14:45 +0100 From: Luc Damas Message-ID: X-url: http://www.porphyre.org/toth/fr Conférence TOTh 2013 Terminologie & Ontologie : Théories et applications http://www.porphyre.org/toth/fr ------------------------------------------------ RAPPEL : Date limite de soumission : 28/01/2013 http://www.porphyre.org/toth/toth-2013/soumissions ------------------------------------------------ Conférence invitée : Titre : « Ontologies et dé-ontologie » Conférencier : François RASTIER, Directeur de recherche CNRS http://www.porphyre.org/toth/toth-2013/conference-d-ouverture Résumé : Pour ce qui concerne la terminologie, l’exposé s’appuiera sur la sémantique de corpus théoriques (scientifiques et philosophiques) pour en situer la portée. Il interrogera ensuite le format ontologique, produit d’une théorie de la connaissance et d’une tradition métaphysique concrétisée par la sémantique dénotative. Il est généralisé en représentation des connaissances, et dont le Web sémantique, à la suite des réseaux sémantiques de l’IA, puis des Wordnets des années 90, constitue l’aboutissement et la généralisation, en même temps qu’un domaine d’application majeur. En passant du web des documents au web des données, il a affirmé la prééminence des métadonnées sur les données. Les extensions au web des objets en témoignent et l’on doit souligner leurs implications économiques et militaires ; a fortiori pour les enjeux politiques du web des individus et du champ des Big data. La dualité entre ontologies et réseaux sociaux, web sémantique et socio-sémantique semble devenir une complémentarité ; les conséquences éthiques de cette situation doivent évidemment être débattues. L’exposé ébauchera enfin les éléments d’une praxéologie qui subordonne toute représentation des connaissances à des tâches déterminées et temporaires : la connaissance n’est pas une représentation incrémentale, mais un apprentissage dans une pratique sociale. Incompatible avec les normalisations ontologiques, l’historicité indéniable des données et leur diversité sémiotique appelle la méthodologie historique et comparative propre aux sciences de la culture. ------------------------------------------------ Disputatio : Titre : « Le concept et la langue.

Comme chaque année je viens vous remercier de votre soutient et de votre confiance et vous souhaiter, pour 2013, des brassées de bonheur, de santé et d'intelligence. On m'a récemment fait remarquer que 2013 est la 1ère année en 26 ans (après 1987) à être formée de chiffres tous différents. Soyez rassurés, je ne sombre pas dans la numérologie et je n'additionnerai donc pas l'âge de l'ATALA divisé par son poids (nous sommes trop nombreux:)) pour vous prédire quel sera son avenir cette année. Pourtant en regardant les faits il n'est pas interdit d'être optimiste. L'ATALA se porte bien, le nombre des adhésions est stable, et ce, malgré une légère augmentation des cotisations, tout comme a été stable le nombre des candidatures au prix de thèse instauré l'an passé et l'édition conjointe TALN JEP fut un réel succès. Qu'il me soit permis de vous encourager à assister à la prochaine édition, organisée par le LINA et qui aura lieu aux Sables d'Olonne du 17 au 21 Juin 2013. Et comme l'ATALA ne recule devant aucun sacrifice, si ce n'est déjà fait, il vous reste encore quelques petits jours pour soumettre un article (1er Février). Soyez attentifs également à l'appel à candidatures pour le prix de thèse 2013 qui sera publié dans quelques jours. Cette année le jury sera présidé, comme le veut la désormais coutume, par notre Lauréat 2012, Thomas Francois, de l'Université de Louvain, et co-présidé par Patrick Paroubek et moi-même. Vous le savez déjà, mais une des missions de l'ATALA consiste à faire du lobbying auprès des institutions et des organismes afin de donner au TAL l'importance qu'il mérite. Ce fut fait cette année via différentes actions et rencontres auprès du CNRS, de l'ANR ou de la Commission Européenne. Patrick a également présenté l'ATALA à la journée autour du Big Data organisée par l'Aproged et Karen et Benoit ont poursuivi leur l'action autour du crowdsourcing. Une charte autour d'éthique et Big data actuellement en cours de rédaction. En ces temps où nombreux aiment à faire croire que les défis scientifiques du TAL sont pratiquement résolus, il est important de faire entendre notre voix. En 2013 nous voulons entendre votre voix ! Nous vous distribuerons un questionnaire pour savoir ce que vous attendez de l'Association afin d'encore mieux répondre à vos attentes. Stendhal a dit « Ce n'est pas tant d'être riche qui fait le bonheur, c'est de le devenir. ». En 2013 faites un beau geste, aidez l'ATALA à être heureuse ! Adhérer, vous l'avez compris c'est simple (http://www.atala.org/adhesion) et ça rapporte forcement gros.

This book attempts to reconcile these disciplines through the common denominator of consciousness, but on one of its specific aspect. The book presents a concept of-motivation of field of activity, as a biological motor of a state of consciousness, and of which system informatics enables to reveal its existence. If consciousness is not well defined, a limited frame provides a more precise and observable definition despite the context complexity of the individuals: psychological, social and technical. These observable elements are of two nature: a nature of principal activity and a cognitive-linguistic nature, which are adapted with extrinsic and intrinsic control factors. The argument presented here consists in presenting a state of consciousness as related to the concept of instinctive (therefore physiological) information need, and whose carrier traces on the traditional information channels, i.e. letters and subscriptions and on the modern information channels, i.e. text messages and web pages, can be analyzed via knowledge extraction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 26 20:04:00 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2013 21:04:00 +0100 Subject: Appel: SSST-7, Seventh Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical Translation (NAACL 2013) Message-ID: Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 07:51:44 -0800 From: "Carpuat, Marine" Message-ID: X-url: http://www.cs.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/ SSST-7: Seventh Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical Translation NAACL 2013 / SIGMT / SIGLEX Workshop Jun 13 or 14 2013, Atlanta, GA *** Submission deadline: 01 Mar 2013 *** The Seventh Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical Translation (SSST-7) seeks to build on the foundations established in the first six SSST workshops, which brought together a large number of researchers working on diverse aspects of structure, semantics and representation in relation to statistical machine translation. Its program each year has comprised high-quality papers discussing current work spanning topics including: new grammatical models of translation; new learning methods for syntax- and semantics-based models; formal properties of synchronous/transduction grammars (hereafter S/TGs); discriminative training of models incorporating linguistic features; using S/TGs for semantics and generation; and syntax- and semantics-based evaluation of machine translation. The need for structural mappings between languages is widely recognized in the fields of statistical machine translation and spoken language translation, and there is a growing consensus that these mappings are appropriately represented using a family of formalisms that includes synchronous/transduction grammars and their tree-transducer equivalents. To date, flat-structured models, such as the word-based IBM models of the early 1990s or the more recent phrase-based models, remain widely used. But tree-structured mappings arguably offer a much greater potential for learning valid generalizations about relationships between languages. Within this area of research there is a rich diversity of approaches. There is active research ranging from formal properties of S/TGs to large-scale end-to-end systems. There are approaches that make heavy use of linguistic theory, and approaches that use little or none. There is theoretical work characterizing the expressiveness and complexity of particular formalisms, as well as empirical work assessing their modeling accuracy and descriptive adequacy across various language pairs. There is work being done to invent better translation models, and work to design better algorithms. Recent years have seen significant progress on all these fronts. In particular, systems based on these formalisms are now top contenders in MT evaluations. At the same time, SMT has seen a movement toward semantics over the past few years, which has been reflected at recent SSST workshops, including the last two editions which had semantics for SMT as a special theme. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely linked and SSST-7 continues to encourage submissions on semantics for MT in a number of directions, including semantic role labeling and sense disambiguation for translation and evaluation. We invite papers on: * syntax-based / semantics-based / tree-structured SMT * machine learning techniques for inducing structured translation models * algorithms for training, decoding, and scoring with semantic representation structure * empirical studies on adequacy and efficiency of formalisms * creation and usefulness of syntactic/semantic resources for MT * formal properties of synchronous/transduction grammars * learning semantic information from monolingual, parallel or comparable corpora * unsupervised and semi-supervised word sense induction and disambiguation methods for MT * lexical substitution, word sense induction and disambiguation, semantic role labeling, textual entailment, paraphrase and other semantic tasks for MT * semantic features for MT models (word alignment, translation lexicons, language models, etc.) * evaluation of syntactic/semantic components within MT (task-based evaluation) * scalability of structured translation methods to small or large data * applications of S/TGs to related areas including: speech translation formal semantics and semantic parsing paraphrases and textual entailment information retrieval and extraction * syntactically- and semantically-motivated evaluation of MT ORGANIZERS Marine CARPUAT, National Research Council Canada Lucia SPECIA, University of Sheffield Dekai WU, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology IMPORTANT DATES Mar 01, 2013 Paper due date Mar 29, 2013 Notification of acceptance Apr 12, 2013 Camera-ready deadline Jun 13 or 14, 2013 Workshop For more information: http://www.cs.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 26 20:08:01 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2013 21:08:01 +0100 Subject: Job: Stage, Acquisition semi-automatique de patrons caracteristiques a partir de textes Message-ID: Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 23:26:34 +0100 From: Thierry Poibeau Message-Id: *** Proposition de stage : acquisition semi-automatique de patrons caractéristiques à partir de textes *** * Descriptif : Le stage vise à extraire semi-automatiquement des patrons syntaxico-sémantiques à partir de textes. Cette tâche a plusieurs applications possibles : les patrons peuvent servir à repérer des éléments précis dans un texte (tâche classique d'extraction d'information) mais ils peuvent aussi servir de base à des travaux plus linguistiques, visant par exemple à caractériser des textes en fonction de particularités qui ne sont pas directement observables. Les outils existants reposent essentiellement sur des patrons très proches des formes de surface (Hearst 1992) ou sur des méthodes à base d'apprentissage produisant de très nombreux patrons qui sont ensuite difficiles à trier et à analyser (Quiniou et al., 2012). Ces études ont toutefois mis en avant des approches efficaces et reposant sur un certain nombre de points communs (préanalyse du texte par un analyseur morphosyntaxique, repérage de séquences continues ou non, contraintes sur le niveau d'analyse possible). Pour aller plus loin, il semble nécessaire de proposer des approches interactives, de sorte que l'analyste puisse spécifier dynamiquemlent ses besoins et ainsi guider au mieux l'analyse. * Déroulement du stage Le stage se déroulera suivant plusieurs étapes : - état de l'art et choix d'une approche adéquate - implémentation d'un algorithme interactif (en réutilisant si possible un logiciel existant pour l'acquisition des patrons eux-mêmes) - validation sur une tâche à préciser (la tâche visée et le corpus seront discutés au début du stage) - rédaction d'un rapport de stage * Références - Marti Hearst (1992).

This includes translating discourse phenomena that depend on more than just the context of the current sentence or of n-grams to the left and/or right; ensuring document-level consistency in the choice of lexical items or referring forms or in document style or register; and ensuring that source-language discourse relations between clauses and/or sentences are also realized in the target text. Given this renewed interest, we are pleased to invite paper submissions to the ACL 2013 Workshop on Discourse in MT, to be held on August 9, 2013 in Sofia. The papers should focus on language processing techniques, whether theoretically-inspired or empirical, which address one or more of the discourse-level phenomena listed below, either in combination with MT, or from a cross-lingual perspective. We especially welcome papers that propose methods and software which enhance the capabilities of MT systems on discourse-level phenomena. Papers assessing the importance and origins of MT difficulties with discourse, including research and commercial MT systems, are suitable as well. The proposed workshop solicits submissions more particularly focused on the following topics, but welcomes also submissions that link discourse studies with machine translation in some other way. - discourse processing in support of MT, including: o textual coherence, including anaphora, coreference, tense, aspect and modality o textual cohesion, including lexical consistency o discourse structure, including appropriate use of connectives and information structuring devices o topic structure o consistency in style and register - MT techniques for obtaining document-level consistency and domain adaptability; - MT techniques for structured documents; - methods and algorithms to handle discourse-level phenomena in MT training and decoding; - uses of MT in processing discourse-level phenomena; - techniques for assessing the impact of discourse-level processing on MT quality; - quantitative studies on the impact of discourse-level phenomena on current MT systems vs. discourse-aware ones. Submission instructions We solicit previously unpublished work, presented either as long or short papers, following the ACL 2013 formatting guidelines available at http://acl2013.org/site/call.html. Long papers should have at most 8 pages of content, not including references. Short papers are limited to 4 pages of content, not including references. There is no constraint on the length of the reference list. Both types of submissions should be anonymous, i.e. do not disclose in any way the identity of the author(s). Papers must be submitted using the START system at the URL indicated on the workshop's website.

CALL FOR PAPERS Many NLP systems generate or reformulate human language but how readable is the output? What makes language easy or difficult to read for different types of readers? How can existing text be manipulated to improve information access? How does writing style affect readability, comprehension, and appreciation of text? The last few years have seen a resurgence of interest in these questions amongst computational linguists as attention turns to more sophisticated techniques for textual presentation and to address the widely differing needs of end users. The relevance of this research area has spawned a number of workshops on related topics, for example, SL-PAT 2012 (slpat.org) and NLP4ITA 2012 (www.taln.upf.edu/nlp4ita/), and a new special interest group, Speech and Language Processing for Assistive Technologies (http://slpat.org/), which sponsors this workshop. PITR is a cross-disciplinary workshop bringing together researchers in any field concerned with the readability, accessibility and quality of text, particularly computational linguists, psycholinguists and educational researchers. We solicit papers on: - Reformulation of existing text (text-to-text systems) - Generation of readable language from data (data-to-text systems) - Generation of text in specific styles and registers for readability - Evaluation of language simplification strategies - Evaluation of the readability of computer-generated text - Evaluation of the readability of machine translation output - Prediction of aspects of text style related to readability - Prediction of the readability of documents - Readability issues in specialist texts such as questionnaires, exam questions, safety instructions, etc. - Novel evaluation strategies for assessing text readability - Novel readability metrics - Techniques for simplifying lexis - Techniques for simplifying syntax - Techniques for simplifying discourse properties (making text more transparent, etc.) - Techniques for manipulating textual layout to improve accessibility - Techniques for making descriptions of numerical quantities more accessible - Techniques for making technical terminology more accessible - Techniques for making descriptions of logical statements more accessible - Techniques for explaining complex ideas through accessible text - Systems aimed at adults with poor literacy - Systems aimed at children learning to read - Systems aimed at 2nd language learners - Systems aimed at people with language deficits (aphasia, deafness, neurodegeneration, etc.) - Systems aimed at non-experts accessing technical material SUBMISSIONS Papers should prepared in ACL format not exceeding 8 pages in length plus up to 2 additional pages for references. Papers should also be anonymised for blind reviewing. Whilst only certain authors will be invited to give oral presentations, all accepted authors will be expected to present a poster. Last year, the poster session was very lively, giving poster-only authors and oral-presentation authors ample opportunities to discuss their research.

Such an offer consists of several sets of speech, text and multimodal resources that are regularly released, for free, as soon as legal aspects are cleared. A first set was released in May 2012 at the occasion of LREC 2012. A second set is now being released. Whenever this is permitted by our licences, please feel free to use these resources for deriving new resources and depositing them with the ELRA catalogue for community re-use. Over the last decade, ELRA has compiled a large list of resources into its Catalogue of LRs. ELRA has negotiated distribution rights with the LR owners and made such resources available under fair conditions and within a clear legal framework. Following this initiative, ELRA has also worked on LR discovery and identification with a dedicated team which investigated and listed existing and valuable resources in its "Universal Catalogue", a list of resources that could be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. At LREC 2010, ELRA introduced the LRE Map, an inventory of LRs, whether developed or used, that were described in LREC papers. This huge inventory listed by the authors themselves constitutes the first "community-built" catalogue of existing or emerging resources, constantly enriched and updated at major conferences. Considering the latest trends on easing the sharing of LRs, from both legal and commercial points of view, ELRA is taking a major role in META-SHARE, a large European open infrastructure for sharing LRs. This infrastructure will allow LR owners, providers and distributors to distribute their LRs through an additional and cost-effective channel. To obtain the available sets of LRs, please visit the web page below and follow the instructions given online: http://www.elra.info/Free-LRs,26.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue Jan 29 21:19:07 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:19:07 +0100 Subject: Info: Prix de These ATALA 2013 Message-ID: Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:54:13 +0000 From: Frédérique Segond Message-ID: X-url: http://www.atala.org/_Prix-de-la-these_ Prix de la thèse 2013 L'ATALA, Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues, décernera pour la troisième fois en 2013 un prix de thèse récompensant d'excellents travaux francophones dans le domaine du TAL.

For all details, see the official site at: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/semeval-2013/task4/ Registration for task participants: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/semeval-2013/index.php?id=registration Contact: iris at clul.ul.pt Just to whet your appetite, here is the abstract: The task of classifying English noun compounds explores the idea of interpreting the semantics of noun compounds via paraphrases. Given a two-word noun compound, the participants are asked to produce an explicitly ranked list of its free paraphrases. The list will be automatically compared and evaluated against a similarly ranked list of paraphrases proposed by human annotators, recruited and managed through Amazon's Mechanical Turk. The comparison of raw paraphrases will be sensitive to syntactic and morphological variations. The ranking of paraphrases will be based on their relative popularity among annotators. To achieve a reliable ranking, highly similar paraphrases will be grouped so as to downplay superficial differences in syntax and morphology.

Hissaror Hisarya (http://www.augustaspa.com, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hisarya,_Bulgaria) is a famous resort since ancient times; it boasts 22 mineral springs with water temperatures between 37-52 degree Celsius. Archaeological research has revealed that a town existed near the springs 5000 years BC. Many years later Thracians, and after them Romans, settled around the warm springs. The Roman emperor Diocletian visited the town in 293 and built a fortified wall around it. The town was named Diocletianopol. Famous archeological monuments such as: - the Thracian Tomb of Kazanluk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thracian_Tomb_of_Kazanlak - and the Tomb at Starosel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starosel) are located within 20-50 km from Hissar. TRAVEL Hissar is situated in the centre of Bulgaria, 40 km north of the city of Plovdiv and 160 km east of the Bulgarian capital Sofia. Both the International airports of Sofia and Plovdiv can be used as arrival/departure points for RANLP-2013. Ryanair is now operating flights between London Stansted and Frankfurt/Hahn to Plovdiv two times per week. Sofia Airport is connected to Plovdiv via a highway and it takes only 1 hour and 45 minutes to reach Hissar from Sofia. In addition to the regular public transport (trains and buses), the organisers will provide shuttle minibuses from/to Sofia and Plovdiv airports at an inexpensive rate.

The workshop aims to explore the new frontiers of big data computing for opinion mining through Semantic Web ontologies, rules, and services, Linked Data technologies, Web Science applications, knowledge-based systems, adaptive and transfer learning, in order to more efficiently retrieve and extract social information from the Web. ABSTRACT As the Web rapidly evolves, Web users are evolving with it. In an era of social connectedness, people are becoming more and more enthusiastic about interacting, sharing, and collaborating through social networks, online communities, blogs, Wikis, and other online collaborative media. In recent years, this collective intelligence has spread to many different areas, with particular focus on fields related to everyday life such as commerce, tourism, education, and health, causing the size of the Social Web to expand exponentially. The distillation of knowledge from such a large amount of unstructured information, however, is an extremely difficult task, as the contents of today's Web are perfectly suitable for human consumption, but remain hardly accessible to machines. The opportunity to capture the opinions of the general public about social events, political movements, company strategies, marketing campaigns, and product preferences has raised growing interest both within the scientific community, leading to many exciting open challenges, as well as in the business world, due to the remarkable benefits to be had from marketing and financial market prediction. TOPICS MABSDA aims to provide an international forum for researchers in the field of big data computing for opinion mining and sentiment analysis to share information on their latest investigations in social information retrieval and their applications both in academic research areas and industrial sectors. The broader context of the workshop comprehends Semantic Web, Linked Open Data, Web Science, information retrieval, and natural language processing. In addition to paper presentations, an invited talk by Prof Bebo White will stress the interdisciplinary challenges of big social data analysis. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Affective ontologies - Rules for opinion mining - Web Science approaches to sentiment analysis - Linked Data applications for sentiment mining - Sentiment identification & classification - Time evolving opinion & sentiment analysis - Multi-modal sentiment analysis - Multi-domain & cross-domain evaluation - Knowledge base construction & integration with opinion analysis - Transfer learning of opinion & sentiment with knowledge bases - Sentiment topic detection & trend discovery - Social ranking and social network content analysis - Sentic computing - Opinion spam detection INVITED SPEAKER Bebo White is a Departmental Associate (Retired) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), the high-energy physics and basic energy science laboratory operated by Stanford University. Prior to his retirement, he was permanent staff/faculty at SLAC from 1981 to 2005. While his initial responsibilities at SLAC were in computational physics, in recent years Prof White's work has been dominated by his involvement with World Wide Web technology. He first became involved with WWW development while on sabbatical at CERN in 1989 and was instrumental in establishing the first non-European Web site at SLAC in 1991.

Montpellier 2) 16 janvier 2013, 12:00 - 13:00 VISEO R&D - Le Pulsar - 4 av du Doyen Louis Weil 38000 GRENOBLE (http://www.viseo.net/en/viseo-research-and-development ) R?sum? : L?acquisition de ressources lexicales est un probl?me r?current en TALN. Celle-ci peut se faire automatiquement, g?n?ralement ? partir de textes, mais dans ce cas elle peut ?tre biais?e par le corpus choisi (g?n?raliste ou sp?cialis?, journalistique ou dictionnairique ?), aussi bien que par la m?thode d?acquisition qui peut favoriser l??mergence de certaines informations au d?triment d?autres. De plus, l'extraction automatique de relations typ?es entre termes ? l'aide de patrons syntaxiques se heurte ? leur ambigu?t? intrins?que et r?sulte g?n?ralement en un bruit important n?cessitant une correction au cas par cas. L?acquisition de ressources peut ?galement ?tre effectu?e selon la tradition lexicographique, ? savoir de fa?on manuelle. Dans ce cas, plusieurs m?thodes sont possibles, les ressources pouvant ?tre cr??es : a) par des experts : c'est alors un processus long et co?teux, souvent lourd ? faire ?voluer ; b) par des approches contributives r?mun?r?es ou non sollicitant des participants non n?cessairement linguistes de formation mais attir?s par les choses de la langue; c) enfin par une strat?gie plus r?cente consistant ? mettre en ?uvre des jeux accessibles sur Internet. Ces jeux permettent d'acqu?rir des ressources par consensus populaire entre locuteurs natifs. C?est un processus rapide, peu co?teux, tr?s dynamique, mais cependant la question de la qualit? de la ressource peut l?gitimement ?tre pos?e. Celle-ci peut trouver une r?ponse int?ressante par la conception d'autres jeux, transversaux aux premiers. Cet expos? sera l'occasion de faire le tour des propositions faites et des r?sultats obtenus dans le cadre du projet JeuxDeMots.

La terminologie s?int?resse aux d?nominations des concepts et des objets dans un domaine pr?cis, mais aussi aux unit?s telles que les collocations, les combinaisons lexicales ou les phras?ologies en usage, qui font partie des vocabulaires, des discours et des langues de sp?cialit?. D?un point de vue m?thodologique, le terminologue d?veloppe des pratiques qui visent la conception et la cr?ation de ressources terminologiques utiles ? toute fin langagi?re : traduction, am?nagement, lexicographie, enseignement des langues ? des fins sp?cifiques, etc. La qualit? et la rigueur des discours de sp?cialit? ?tant directement d?pendantes de la relation entre l?organisation lexicale et l?organisation des connaissances, une r?flexion conjointe entre les terminologues, traducteurs, lexicographes, ing?nieurs des connaissances et informaticiens s?impose. La terminologie et l?ontologie partagent des objectifs similaires dans leur compr?hension et la description de la r?alit?. Les ontologies issues de l?ing?nierie des connaissances constituent aujourd?hui une des voies les plus prometteuses pour la mod?lisation du syst?me conceptuel des terminologies. Au c?ur de nombreuses applications du monde num?rique, les ontologies permettent l?op?rationnalisation des terminologies et leur utilisation ? diff?rentes fins : aide ? la traduction, gestion et traitement de l?information, gestion des connaissances et de contenus multilingues, web s?mantique, etc. Par nature transdisciplinaires, la terminologie et l?ontologie mobilisent des pratiques et des th?ories qui rel?vent de nombreuses disciplines dont principalement la linguistique, les langues de sp?cialit?, l??pist?mologie, l?ing?nierie des connaissances et les sciences de l?information. Publics & Disciplines : ---------------------------- Les conf?rences TOTh visent ? rassembler chercheurs, enseignants, formateurs, utilisateurs et industriels dont les pr?occupations rel?vent ? la fois de la terminologie et de l?ontologie, et de fa?on plus g?n?rale de la langue et de l?ing?nierie des connaissances. Elles se veulent un lieu d??change et de partage o? sont expos?s probl?mes, solutions et retours d?exp?riences tant sur le plan th?orique qu?applicatif ainsi que les nouvelles tendances et perspectives des disciplines associ?es : terminologie, langues de sp?cialit?, linguistique, intelligence artificielle, ing?nierie des connaissances, syst?mes d?information, ing?nierie collaborative, sciences de l?information, documentation, etc. Prix ? Jeune chercheur ? : -------------------------------- Depuis 2011 un prix ? Jeune chercheur ? est d?cern? par le comit? de programme lors de la conf?rence. Th?mes de la Conf?rence (liste non exhaustive) : -------------------------------------------------------------- Approches linguistiques : - langues de sp?cialit?, traduction, lexicographie de sp?cialit?, am?nagement linguistique et terminologique, communication de sp?cialit?, - multilinguisme, traduction, - th?ories du texte et des discours, s?mantique lexicale, - usages, variations, collocations terminologiques, phras?ologie, - produits terminologiques, lexiques, dictionnaires, th?saurus, - traitement de corpus : extraction de termes, extraction de connaissances, constitution et alignement de corpus, - construction et maintenance de ressources terminologiques, harmonisation des termes, harmonisation des concepts, normalisation, importance et limite des corpus, - validation de la qualit? des donn?es, r?le des experts.

France Conference: 6 and 7 June 2013 Training: 4 and 5 June 2013 http://www.porphyre.org/toth/ http://www.porphyre.org/toth/toth-2013-en/call-for-papers http://www.porphyre.org/toth/files/TOTh-2013-Call-for-papers.pdf DEADLINES: ------------------------------- 14 January 2013: Deadline for submitting 4 March March 2013: Notification of acceptance 6 May 2013: Final version Paper submission via Easychair: ----------------------------------------- http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=toth2013 Presentation: ------------------ The TOTh conferences aim to bridge the gap between terminology and ontology by highlighting the contributions that one makes to the other and by opening up new perspectives for both theoretical and practical developments. Terminology is about names for concepts and objects in a given subject area, but it is also concerned with other units such as collocations, lexical combinations or phraseologies in actual use, all of which are part of specialized languages and discourse. The terminologist?s job is to design and produce terminological resources which can be used for a variety of language-based activities : translation, corpus language planning, teaching language for special purposes, etc. The quality and the precision of specialised discourse is directly linked to the relation between the way lexical items are ordered and the way knowledge is organised: sufficient encouragement in itself for active collaboration between terminologists, translators, lexicographers, knowledge engineers and IT specialists. Terminology and ontology share similar objectives in the way they approach and describe reality. Ontologies, which come from knowledge engineering, are now one of the most promising ways to model conceptual systems for terminologies. Of the numerous applications to be found in the digital world, ontologies are particularly useful to make terminologies operational and ensure their applications in various roles : as translation tools, for information and knowledge management, the semantic web, etc. Terminology and ontology are both basically transdisciplinary in approach, and both reach out to take on board practices and theories from many different subject fields, in particular from linguistics, language for special purposes, epistemology, artificial intelligence, information sciences. Target audience & Disciplines: --------------------------------------- The TOTh conferences aim to bring together all those involved in LSP, terminology and knowledge engineering and, more generally, all persons interested in issues related to language and knowledge. They are designed to be platforms of exchange and sharing where problems are outlined and solutions and feedback provided, for both theoretical and applied perspectives as well as for the new trends and perspectives of associated disciplines: terminology, languages for special purposes, linguistics, artificial intelligence, knowledge engineering, information systems, collaborative engineering, information sciences, documentation, etc. Young Researcher Prize: -------------------------------- Since 2011, a Young Researcher Prize is awarded by the Program committee and bestowed on the winner during the Conference. Conference topics (non exhaustive list): -------------------------------------------------- Linguistic approaches: - language for special purposes, translation, language and terminology planning, specialized multilingual communication, - usage, variation, term collocations, lexical combination, - terminological products: glossaries, dictionaries, thesauri, - corpus processing and natural language processing: text mining, extracting terms, extracting knowledge, corpus building, corpus aligning, - creating and maintaining terminological resources, harmonizing terms and concepts, importance and limitations of corpora, - theories of meaning, semantics, - validating the quality of data, the role of experts. Knowledge representation: - terminological principles for building conceptual systems, - ontology and knowledge representation: representation, building, maintaining, aligning, merging, - classification theory, - information retrieval, - mono- and multilingual thesauri, library science, records management, - input from artificial intelligence, linguistics, epistemology, formal systems (description logic for example). Applications: - software environments; building and maintaining terminologies, thesauri, dictionaries, ontologies, - IT applications based on knowledge and terminology resources: semantic web, computer aided translation, mono and multilingual content management systems, specialized digital libraries, information retrieval, classification, knowledge management, information systems, - assessing acquisition and manipulation tools, standards in the field of language and ontology resources. http://www.porphyre.org/toth/ http://www.porphyre.org/toth/toth-2013-en/call-for-papers http://www.porphyre.org/toth/files/TOTh-2013-Call-for-papers.pdf ---------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 5 19:59:52 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 5 Jan 2013 20:59:52 +0100 Subject: Appel: Deadline Extension - Special Volume on Non-standard Data Sources in Corpus-based Research (Short Papers) Message-ID: Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2013 13:31:50 -0200 From: Marcos Zampieri Message-ID: Due to a couple of requests, we've extended the deadline for submissions of short papers to January 10th, 2013.

THEME and MOTIVATION The languages from the Balto-Slavic group play an important role due to their diverse cultural heritage and widespread use ? with over 400 million speakers. The recent political and economic developments in Central and Eastern Europe have brought Balto-Slavic societies and their languages into focus in terms of rapid technological advancement and rapidly expanding consumer markets. This Workshop addresses Natural Language Processing (NLP) for the Balto-Slavic languages. The NLP tasks in urgent need of attention include, but are not limited to: morphological analysis and generation, syntactic and semantic tagging, named-entity recognition, information extraction, co-reference resolution, question-answering, information retrieval, text summarization, machine translation. Research on theoretical and applied topics in the context of many Balto-Slavic languages is still in its early stages. The linguistic phenomena specific to Balto-Slavic languages ? such as rich morphological inflection and free word order ? make the construction of NLP tools for these languages a challenging and intriguing task. The goal of this Workshop is to bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners working on NLP for Balto-Slavic languages. In particular, the Workshop will serve as an instrument to further stimulate the research on NLP techniques for Balto-Slavic languages, and to foster the creation of tools for these languages. The Workshop will provide a forum for exchanging ideas and experience, discussing difficult-to-tackle problems in this field of research, and making the available resources more widely-known. One fascinating aspect of this sub-family of languages is the striking structural similarity, as well as an easily recognizable core vocabulary and inflectional inventory spanning the entire group of languages ? despite a lack of mutual intelligibility ? which creates a special environment in which researchers can fully appreciate the shared problems and solutions and communicate naturally. This Workshop continues the proud tradition established by the previous BSNLP Workshops: the First BSNLP Workshop, held in conjunction with ACL 2007 Conference in Prague; the Second BSNLP Workshop, held in conjunction with IIS 2009: Intelligent Information Systems, in Cracow, Poland; and the Third BSNLP Workshop, held in conjunction with TSD 2011, 14th International Conference on Text, Speech and Dialogue in Plzen, Czech Republic. SUBMISSION BSNLP 2013 welcomes two types of submissions: (a) full papers, and (b) short papers. Long papers should describe original unpublished work and should indicate the state of completion of the reported results. In particular, overlap with previously published work should be clearly mentioned. The authors should indicate along with their submission if the paper has been submitted elsewhere. Short papers should describe work in progress and/or interactive software demos. All submissions, both long and short papers, will be judged on correctness, novelty, technical strength, clarity of presentation, usability, and significance/relevance to the Workshop. Submissions will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee. The reviewing will be blind. Therefore, the paper should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Self-citations and other references that reveal the authors' identity should be avoided. In particular, submissions describing systems, resources or solutions that are made available to the wider public would be strongly encouraged, as this would help to promote computational linguistics applications for these languages. Further details related to the submission format and electronic submission system will be announced in January 2013. OFFICIAL LANGUAGE The official language of the workshop is English. PUBLICATION The papers accepted for BSNLP 2013 will be published in ACL Workshop Proceedings. After the Workshop, we intend to make a selection of the best papers based on this year's and previous years' Workshops, and to publish expanded versions of these papers in a volume on Balto-Slavic NLP as a book with a reputable publisher or in a special journal issue. No such unified reference work for Balto-Slavic NLP exists to date.

The Symposium provides an opportunity for Master's and PhD students to discuss and explore their research interests and career objectives with their peers and with a panel of established researchers, helping to develop a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research. The symposium will be a one-day pre-conference event, where students of accepted abstracts will be invited to give a presentation on their thesis work before a group of peers as well as a small team of expert AI researchers who would offer a critique of each presentation and provide support, advice, and mentoring. Each student will also be invited to participate in the poster session during the AI 2013 main conference. In addition, the author of the best student submission will be invited to give a short talk during the main conference. PhD and Master's students are invited to submit a 6-page summary of their on-going thesis work from all areas of Artificial Intelligence. It is not expected that submissions will consist of polished work with complete results; moreover, summaries of completed projects will not be accepted. Instead, the weight will be placed on the significance of the work, the proposed ideas and solutions, and the overall presentation. The abstract should clearly state the problem being addressed, the proposed plan of research and the description of the progress to date. To benefit the most from the event, applicants should be in their 2nd or 3rd year of studies and nearly completing their thesis proposal. All submissions must be written in English. Papers may be up to 6 pages in length and must be formatted according to Springer's LNCS style. Please follow the instructions for authors at Springer's website (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). The use of the LaTeX2e style file available at Springer's website is strongly encouraged. The paper submission should be accompanied with the following materials: 1. A cover letter stating your name, institution, email address, supervisor's name and email address, program start date, expected graduation date, and 2-5 keywords describing your work. Also include a list of your refereed and non-refereed publications and presentations at national and international forums. 2. A letter from your thesis advisor that includes an assessment of the current status of your thesis research, and an expected date for thesis submission. Please combine all materials into one PDF document. To submit your work, please go to the AI 2013 - Graduate Student Symposium Submission Server at EasyChair and follow the instructions: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gssai2013. Each submission will be reviewed by a mixed team of both student applicants and program committee members. Each student submitting a paper to the Symposium is expected to participate in the reviewing process. Presenting students will be selected based on clarity of the submission, stage of research, and evidence of promise such as published papers or technical reports. All students are encouraged to attend and participate in the Symposium, whether or not they apply to present their work. All the selected student presenters are expected to actively participate in the full Symposium, as we envision participants gaining as much by interacting with their peers as by having their presentations critiqued by the faculty panel. The symposium will also include an invited talk/discussion panel on a topic of interest to graduate students. Partial financial assistance for travel and accommodations may be available to a limited number of students presenting at the Symposium.

Knowledge Engineering, Acquisition and Management. L?essor des Sciences et Technologies de l?Information et de la Communication, notamment des technologies du Web, dans l?ensemble de la soci?t? engendre des mutations dans les pratiques individuelles et collectives. L?ing?nierie des connaissances accompagne cette ?volution, en inventant les th?ories, les m?thodes et les outils permettant l?int?gration de la dimension ? connaissance ? dans des environnements informatiques dont la plasticit? et la capacit? ? s?associer aux activit?s deviennent les vertus cardinales. Les mod?les de l?ing?nierie des connaissances se renouvellent et int?grent de plus en plus la dimension dynamique des situations li?es ? la massification des usages. La conf?rence est l?occasion de confronter les th?ories, les mod?les, les m?thodes, les outils, les observations des usages li?s ? ces ?volutions et qui permettront d?aller plus loin. L?ing?nierie des connaissances est directement li?e au processus plus g?n?ral de la ? d?couverte ? des connaissances, processus associant l?humain et l?environnement informatique. Ce processus se r?alise selon des modalit?s qui s?inventent ? un rythme acc?l?r? avec le Web qui s?impose progressivement comme un unique environnement associant ressources informatiques et humains en r?seaux. Les th?mes d'IC 2013 (liste non exhaustive) sont : *Mod?les de connaissances et ontologies* - mod?les, formalismes, langages formels et informels de repr?sentation de connaissances - m?thodes et outils pour le cycle de vie des repr?sentations : d?tection de besoin, sp?cification, conception et r?utilisation, diffusion, utilisation, ?valuation, ?volution, gestion - ?change, interop?rabilit? et r?utilisation des mod?les, standardisation - terminologies, thesaurii, ontologies et lexiques - types d?ontologies et r?le des ontologies de r?f?rence - gestion de la dynamique des ontologies (versionnement, ?volution, int?gration et alignement) - raisonnements logiques, inf?rences et raisonnements ? base de r?gles, approximations, raisonnement statistiques, raisonnement par analogie, raisonnement ? partir de cas *Conception et construction de mod?les de connaissances et d'ontologies* - acquisition de connaissances ? partir de textes - peuplement de mod?les de connaissances - inf?rence et r?gles m?tier : acquisition conception, r?utilisation, ?volution, ?valuation, exploitations - d?couverte interactive de connaissances dans les donn?es, dans les historiques, dans les interactions, sur le web, etc. - ontologies spatiales et temporelles - m?trique et ?valuation de la qualit? des ontologies *Web des donn?es, donn?es ouvertes dans le cadre du Web S?mantique* - connaissance et r?seaux sociaux sur le web - interconnexion de donn?es - donn?e ouvertes (territoriales, gouvernementales), annuaire et catalogage - gestion de donn?es de flux - passage ? l'?chelle : gestion et interrogation de gros volumes de donn?es - provenance et confiance dans les donn?es - m?trique et ?valuation de la qualit? des donn?es *Interaction et visualisation des connaissances* - conception d'interactions et d'interfaces avec des syst?mes ? base de connaissances - visualisation de connaissances, d'ontologies - visualisation d'interconnexion de donn?es, de raisonnement sur les donn?es - profils utilisateurs, mod?les de contexte et adaptation - ?valuation d'interfaces consommant des donn?es li?es *D?veloppements th?oriques et interdisciplinaires de l'ing?nierie des connaissances* - ?pist?mologie de l'ing?nierie des connaissances - th?orie des organisations et ing?nierie des connaissances - sciences humaines et sciences cognitives (ergonomie, psychologie, sociologie, linguistique, etc.) et ing?nierie des connaissances - g?nie logiciel (langages et environnements, ing?nierie des mod?les, ing?nierie des besoins, etc.) et ing?nierie des connaissances *Applications et syst?mes sp?cialisant ou adaptant des m?thodes et techniques d?IC* - applications dans les domaines de la sant?, de l'?ducation et de l'apprentissage, de la culture, de la recherche documentaire, des transports intelligents, de l'informatique d?cisionnelle (BI), etc. - gestion des connaissances, m?moires d'entreprises - applications situ?es (dans le temps et l'espace) - aide ? la conception - syst?mes pour la collaboration et la coop?ration dans les organisations et les collectifs Les auteurs sont invit?s ? pr?senter des articles longs, des articles courts, des posters et des d?monstrations - Articles longs (16 p, pr?sentation orale de 20 mn, 10 mn discussion) : Sont concern?s des travaux aboutis, pr?sentant des r?sultats valid?s ou des synth?ses fouill?es. - Articles courts (8p, pr?sentation orale de 10 mn, 5 mn discussion) : Sont concern?s des travaux en cours ou au stade de r?sultats partiels de recherches ou appliqu?s. Ce type de soumission correspond ? des travaux innovants de qualit?, mais dont la maturit? ne permet pas des ?laborations compl?tes et des conclusions d?finitives. - Posters et d?monstrations (3p, pr?sentation dans un espace de discussion) : Sont concern?s des travaux qui d?marrent, les premiers r?sultats de jeunes chercheurs.

Among the most widely used, one may cite Tree-Adjoining Grammar (TAG) [Joshi et. Al, 1975], Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) [Bresnan and Kaplan, 1982], Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) [Steedman, 1987], or Head- driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) [Pollard and Sag, 1994]. These frameworks present theoretical and practical interests. From a theoretical point of view, they provide a formal device for the linguist to experiment with her/his theories. From a practical point of view, they make it possible to automatically process natural language in applications such as dialog systems, machine translation, etc. They differ in their expressivity and complexity. Some reveal themselves more adequate for the description of a given language than others. Still, for many of these frameworks, large resources (i.e., grammars) have been designed, at first by hand, and later via dedicated tools (e.g., integrated grammar environments such as XLE for LFG [King et al, 2000]). In this workshop, we are concerned with this complex task of grammar engineering, keeping in mind the two above-mentioned theoretical and practical interests. TOPICS ====== HMGE is open to submissions on topics including, but not limited to: * development, maintenance and enhancement of grammars * semi-automatic acquisition of grammars * debugging environments for grammar design * dedicated description languages for grammar engineering * applications of large-scale grammars VENUE ===== The workshop will be held as part of ESSLLI in August 2013 in D?sseldorf, Germany. More information about ESSLLI can be found at the ESSLLI web pages at http://esslli2013.de/. IMPORTANT DATES =============== Paper submission deadline: March 10, 2013 Reviews due: April 28, 2013 Camera ready version: May 19, 2013 Workshop: August 12-16, 2013 SUBMISSIONS =========== Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files and be prepared using the Springer LNAI/LNCS format. Detailed formatting instructions can be found at: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 HMGE accepts two kinds of submissions: - full papers (12 pages including references) reporting completed, significant research, - short papers (6 pages including references) reporting ongoing work and partial results. Each submission will be reviewed by three program committee members. Accepted long papers will be presented within 20 minutes talks plus 10 minutes for questions. Accepted short papers will be presented within 10 minutes talks plus 10 minutes for questions. Both paper types will be published in the workshop proceedings. Since reviewing will be blind, the submission should not include the authors' names and affiliations. 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.

We welcome comments and feedback till February, 1st 2013. The complete KBGen data will be distributed on March 1st, and the deadline for submitting system outputs on unseen test data will be in early June (exact date to be given later). Results and participating systems will be presented at ENLG in August 2013. Below we provide a brief overview of the KBGen Task. For more information please visit the other pages on the KBGen site (http://www.kbgen.org/). KBGen Task ------------------ The task for participating teams is to develop systems that map the input representations provided by the KBGen organisers to sentences, and to submit system outputs for the inputs in the test data set. Data ------ The KBGen Task data is derived from the AURA Knowledge Base which was developed in the context of the HALO Project at SRI International. This knowledge base encodes knowledge contained in a college-level biology textbook. We have processed and adapted this data so that each input provided by the KBGen task can be verbalised in a single, possibly complex, sentence. To minimise the amount of engineering required to participate, we also make available a lexicon mapping the concepts and relations present in the KBGen data to words. Evaluation -------------- Submitted system outputs will be evaluated by a variety of automatic metrics and human-assessed quality criteria. Input Representations ------------------------------- The input representations are bundles of triples expressing relations between entities. For the development phase, the data set will consist of input and output pairs, where each input is associated with one or more manually produced sentence verbalising this input. Here is an example of the input-output pairs that we propose for the challenge: "The rate of detoxification in the liver cell is directly proportional to the quantity of smooth endoplasmic reticulum in the liver cell." (KBGEN-INPUT :TRIPLES ( (|Detoxification19144| |base| |Liver-Cell19145|) (|Detoxification19144| |rate| |Rate-Value19132|) (|Rate-Value19132| |directly-proportional| |Quantity-Value19135|) (|Liver-Cell19145| |has-part| |Smooth-Endoplasmic-Reticulum19149|) (|Smooth-Endoplasmic-Reticulum19149| |quantity| |Quantity-Value19135|)) :INSTANCE-TYPES ( (|Detoxification19144| |instance-of| |Detoxification|) (|Rate-Value19132| |instance-of| |Rate-Value|) (|Liver-Cell19145| |instance-of| |Liver-Cell|) (|Smooth-Endoplasmic-Reticulum19149| |instance-of| |Smooth-Endoplasmic-Reticulum|) (|Quantity-Value19135| |instance-of| |Quantity-Value|)) :ROOT-TYPES ( (|Detoxification19144| |instance-of| |Event|) (|Liver-Cell19145| |instance-of| |Entity|) (|Rate-Value19132| |instance-of| |Property-Value|) (|Quantity-Value19135| |instance-of| |Property-Value|) (|Smooth-Endoplasmic-Reticulum19149| |instance-of| |Entity|))) As mentioned above, we make available a lexicon which maps each concept and relation present in the input to words.

Pourtant, force est de constater que les concepts et notions de base qui structurent ce domaine sont loin de faire consensus (non seulement d'un auteur ou d'une ?cole ? un(e) autre mais aussi, parfois, dans les ?crits d'un m?me auteur). En ce qui concerne les langues 'verb-framed' ou ? cadrage verbal (Talmy 1985, 2000), par exemple, on serait bien en mal de d?finir -- sur la base des tests linguistiques et crit?res s?mantiques disponibles -- ce qu'est un verbe de d?placement ? au sens strict ? (par opposition ? un verbe de ? mani?re de d?placement ?). Les notions de ? changement de lieu ? (Jackendoff 1983, 1990) et de ? d?placement dirig? (inh?rent) ? (Levin 1993) forg?es ? cet effet se heurtent, en particulier, ? de nombreux probl?mes. Partant de ce constat, cette pr?sentation montrera que le concept de ? changement de relation locative ?l?mentaire ? propos? par Boons (1987) permet d'obtenir une caract?risation plus satisfaisante des verbes intransitifs (ou transitifs ? indirects ?) du fran?ais d?notant un d?placement (autonome) strict, ? condition, toutefois, qu'il soit associ? ? celui de ? changement d'emplacement ? (Aurnague 2011a). Ces deux notions ouvrent la voie ? une combinatoire complexe ? partir de laquelle quatre classes de verbes et proc?s peuvent ?tre d?finies. Les verbes et constructions verbales associant changement de relation locative ?l?mentaire et changement d'emplacement (d?placements au sens strict) retiendront particuli?rement notre attention et nous verrons de quelle mani?re ces deux traits interagissent dans leur s?mantisme (verbe de changement d'emplacement + GP, concomitance ou succession des deux types de changements, notions de polarit? et de chemin ou 'path'...). Enfin, quelques retomb?es r?centes de cette approche seront ?voqu?es, qu'il s'agisse de la comparaison de verbes au contenu s?mantique proche (Aurnague 2011b), de la d?duction des propri?t?s aspectuelles des pr?dicats (aspect interne ou lexical, Aktionsart) (Aurnague ? para?tre) ou des asym?tries entre d?placements initiaux et finaux. *R?f?rences* Aurnague, M. 2011a.

Besides being personally identifiable, an author's style may also reveal her age and gender. Accurate predictors are of key interest to forensic linguists and marketers alike. Participants will be provided with a training data set that consists of documents written in both English and, for those interested in, Spanish too. With regard to age, we will consider posts of three classes: 10s (13-17), 20s (23-27), and 30s (33-47).

For each of these levels NooJ provides linguists with one or more formal tools specifically designed to facilitate the description of each phenomenon, as well as parsing/development/debugging tools designed to be as computationally efficient as possible, from Finite-State to Turing machines. This approach distinguishes NooJ from other computational linguistic frameworks which provide a unique formalism. As a corpus processing tool, NooJ allows researchers in various social sciences to extract information from corpora by applying sophisticated queries based on concepts rather than word forms and build indices and concordances, add semantic annotations, perform statistical analyses on concepts, etc. The conference intends to: * give NooJ users and researchers in Linguistics and in Computational Linguistics the opportunity to meet and share their experience as developers, researchers and teachers ; * present to NooJ users the latest linguistic resources and NLP applications developed for/with NooJ, its latest functionalities, as well as its future developments ; * offer researchers and graduate students two tutorials (one basic and one advanced) to help them parse corpora and build NLP applications using NooJ. * provide the occasion to present and discover the recent developments of NooJ itself (v3). *Topics of interest* Typography, Spelling, Morphology, Linguistic resources, Lexical Analysis, Local Syntax, Structural Syntax, Syntactic Parsing, Transformational Analysis, Paraphrase Generation, Semantic annotations, Semantic analysis *Submission* Please send one abstract (up to 1 page, 400-600 words) in English to https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nooj2013 The deadline for the submission of the abstracts is February 15th, 2013.

The final goal is to stimulate the discussion on Information Access technologies and provide a forum in which invited speakers can share their experiences, identify common strategies and needs, and detect future challenges in this field. Gathering, sorting, evaluating and retrieving information is increasingly becoming crucial for professional (information) workers and also in every-day life. Consequently, information retrieval technology has been widely adopted in some fields, with some IR applications, such as Web search services becoming immensely popular. Academic research has started to branch into many aspects covering advanced IR issues such as the handling of multilingual and multimedia information, but there is as yet little take-up in operational systems for the proposed solutions. A methodology to perform an application-centric evaluation of operational information access systems will be presented and Best practice recommendations for IR system developers, IR application implementers and IR ap-plication maintainers will be given. Key speakers from both technology producers and users will be invited to present their experiences, requirements and problems with respect to Information Access technology.

The aim of the HyTra workshop is to bring together and share ideas among researchers developing statistical, example-based, or rule-based translation systems and who enhance MT systems with elements from the other approaches. Hereby one relevant focus will be on effectively combining linguistic and data driven approaches (rule-based and statistical MT). Another focus will be on hybridization in the context of human translation. We solicit contributions including but not limited to the following topics: - ways and techniques of hybridization - architectures for the rapid development of hybrid MT systems - applications of hybrid systems - hybrid systems dealing with under-resourced languages - hybrid systems dealing with morphologically rich languages - using linguistic information (morphology, syntax, semantics) to enhance statistical MT (e.g. with hierarchical or factored models) - using contextual information to enhance statistical MT - bootstrapping rule-based systems from corpora - hybrid methods in spoken language translation - extraction of dictionaries from parallel and comparable corpora - induction of morphological, grammatical, and translation rules from corpora - machine learning techniques for hybrid MT - describing structural mappings between languages (e.g. tree-structures using synchronous/transduction grammars) - heuristics for limiting the search space in hybrid MT - alternative methods for the fair evaluation of the output of different types of MT systems (e.g. relying on linguistic criteria) - system combination approaches such as multi-engine MT (parallel) or automatic post-editing (sequential) - open source tools and free language resources for hybrid MT Contributions are to be organized into two tracks, corresponding to short or long papers. Short paper submission must describe original and unpublished work without exceeding five pages of content plus one extra page for references. Characteristics of short papers include: a small, focused contribution; work in progress; a negative result; an opinion piece; an interesting application nugget. Long paper submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished work without exceeding eight pages of content plus two extra pages for references. *Submission Instructions* Authors are invited to submit papers on original and previously unpublished work. Formatting should be according to ACL 2013 specifications using LaTeX or MS-Word style files, see *http://acl2013.org/site/call.html*. Reviewing of papers will be double-blind, so the submissions should not reveal the authors? identity. Submission is electronic in PDF format using the START submission system at (URL to be announced in subsequent versions of this call) Double submission policy: Parallel submission to other meetings or publications are possible but must be immediately notified to the workshop contact person (see below). Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their research at the workshop. The papers will be published in the electronic workshop proceedings. These will be part of the ACL proceedings, published by ACL. They will also be made available online via the ACL Anthology. *Important Dates* April 30, 2013: Paper submissions due May 24, 2013: Notification of acceptance Jun 7, 2013: Camera ready papers due August 8 or 9, 2013: Workshop in Sofia *Organizers* Marta R.

La terminologie s?int?resse aux d?nominations des concepts et des objets dans un domaine pr?cis, mais aussi aux unit?s telles que les collocations, les combinaisons lexicales ou les phras?ologies en usage, qui font partie des vocabulaires, des discours et des langues de sp?cialit?. D?un point de vue m?thodologique, le terminologue d?veloppe des pratiques qui visent la conception et la cr?ation de ressources terminologiques utiles ? toute fin langagi?re : traduction, am?nagement, lexicographie, enseignement des langues ? des fins sp?cifiques, etc. La qualit? et la rigueur des discours de sp?cialit? ?tant directement d?pendantes de la relation entre l?organisation lexicale et l?organisation des connaissances, une r?flexion conjointe entre les terminologues, traducteurs, lexicographes, ing?nieurs des connaissances et informaticiens s?impose. La terminologie et l?ontologie partagent des objectifs similaires dans leur compr?hension et la description de la r?alit?. Les ontologies issues de l?ing?nierie des connaissances constituent aujourd?hui une des voies les plus prometteuses pour la mod?lisation du syst?me conceptuel des terminologies. Au c?ur de nombreuses applications du monde num?rique, les ontologies permettent l?op?rationnalisation des terminologies et leur utilisation ? diff?rentes fins : aide ? la traduction, gestion et traitement de l?information, gestion des connaissances et de contenus multilingues, web s?mantique, etc. Par nature transdisciplinaires, la terminologie et l?ontologie mobilisent des pratiques et des th?ories qui rel?vent de nombreuses disciplines dont principalement la linguistique, les langues de sp?cialit?, l??pist?mologie, l?ing?nierie des connaissances et les sciences de l?information. Publics & Disciplines : ---------------------------- Les conf?rences TOTh visent ? rassembler chercheurs, enseignants, formateurs, utilisateurs et industriels dont les pr?occupations rel?vent ? la fois de la terminologie et de l?ontologie, et de fa?on plus g?n?rale de la langue et de l?ing?nierie des connaissances. Elles se veulent un lieu d??change et de partage o? sont expos?s probl?mes, solutions et retours d?exp?riences tant sur le plan th?orique qu?applicatif ainsi que les nouvelles tendances et perspectives des disciplines associ?es : terminologie, langues de sp?cialit?, linguistique, intelligence artificielle, ing?nierie des connaissances, syst?mes d?information, ing?nierie collaborative, sciences de l?information, documentation, etc. Prix ?

France Conference: 6 and 7 June 2013 Training: 4 and 5 June 2013 http://www.porphyre.org/toth/ http://www.porphyre.org/toth/toth-2013-en/call-for-papers http://www.porphyre.org/toth/files/TOTh-2013-Call-for-papers.pdf DEADLINES: ------------------------------- 28 January 2013: Deadline extension for submitting 11 March 2013: Notification of acceptance 6 May 2013: Final version Paper submission via Easychair: ----------------------------------------- http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=toth2013 Presentation: ------------------ The TOTh conferences aim to bridge the gap between terminology and ontology by highlighting the contributions that one makes to the other and by opening up new perspectives for both theoretical and practical developments. Terminology is about names for concepts and objects in a given subject area, but it is also concerned with other units such as collocations, lexical combinations or phraseologies in actual use, all of which are part of specialized languages and discourse. The terminologist?s job is to design and produce terminological resources which can be used for a variety of language-based activities : translation, corpus language planning, teaching language for special purposes, etc. The quality and the precision of specialised discourse is directly linked to the relation between the way lexical items are ordered and the way knowledge is organised: sufficient encouragement in itself for active collaboration between terminologists, translators, lexicographers, knowledge engineers and IT specialists. Terminology and ontology share similar objectives in the way they approach and describe reality. Ontologies, which come from knowledge engineering, are now one of the most promising ways to model conceptual systems for terminologies. Of the numerous applications to be found in the digital world, ontologies are particularly useful to make terminologies operational and ensure their applications in various roles : as translation tools, for information and knowledge management, the semantic web, etc. Terminology and ontology are both basically transdisciplinary in approach, and both reach out to take on board practices and theories from many different subject fields, in particular from linguistics, language for special purposes, epistemology, artificial intelligence, information sciences. Target audience & Disciplines: --------------------------------------- The TOTh conferences aim to bring together all those involved in LSP, terminology and knowledge engineering and, more generally, all persons interested in issues related to language and knowledge. They are designed to be platforms of exchange and sharing where problems are outlined and solutions and feedback provided, for both theoretical and applied perspectives as well as for the new trends and perspectives of associated disciplines: terminology, languages for special purposes, linguistics, artificial intelligence, knowledge engineering, information systems, collaborative engineering, information sciences, documentation, etc. Young Researcher Prize: -------------------------------- Since 2011, a Young Researcher Prize is awarded by the Program committee and bestowed on the winner during the Conference. Conference topics (non exhaustive list): -------------------------------------------------- Linguistic approaches: - language for special purposes, translation, language and terminology planning, specialized multilingual communication, - usage, variation, term collocations, lexical combination, - terminological products: glossaries, dictionaries, thesauri, - corpus processing and natural language processing: text mining, extracting terms, extracting knowledge, corpus building, corpus aligning, - creating and maintaining terminological resources, harmonizing terms and concepts, importance and limitations of corpora, - theories of meaning, semantics, - validating the quality of data, the role of experts. Knowledge representation: - terminological principles for building conceptual systems, - ontology and knowledge representation: representation, building, maintaining, aligning, merging, - classification theory, - information retrieval, - mono- and multilingual thesauri, library science, records management, - input from artificial intelligence, linguistics, epistemology, formal systems (description logic for example). Applications: - software environments; building and maintaining terminologies, thesauri, dictionaries, ontologies, - IT applications based on knowledge and terminology resources: semantic web, computer aided translation, mono and multilingual content management systems, specialized digital libraries, information retrieval, classification, knowledge management, information systems, - assessing acquisition and manipulation tools, standards in the field of language and ontology resources. http://www.porphyre.org/toth/ http://www.porphyre.org/toth/toth-2013-en/call-for-papers http://www.porphyre.org/toth/files/TOTh-2013-Call-for-papers.pdf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Thu Jan 17 20:27:28 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:27:28 +0100 Subject: Info: TOTh 2013, Formation Message-ID: Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:33:09 +0100 From: Luc Damas Message-ID: X-url: http://www.porphyre.org/formation-toth/2013 TOTh 2013 : Formation Construction d'ontologies ? des fins terminologiques Informations : formation at porphyre.org Site web : http://www.porphyre.org/formation-toth/2013 Dates : - mardi 4 juin (14h30 ? 17h30) - mercredi 5 juin (9h00 ? 17h00) Lieu : Institut de la Montagne, Campus Scientifique, Le Bourget du Lac (Chamb?ry) Responsables: - Pr. Christophe Roche - Universit? de Savoie - Pr. Rute Costa - Universidade Nova de Lisboa Pr?sentation g?n?rale Dans la soci?t? de l'information, les terminologies sont indispensables ? une communication sp?cialis?e rigoureuse et efficace. Les terminologues jouent un r?le central dans toute activit? professionnelle o? les comp?tences discursives, le transfert et l'organisation des connaissances sont requis. D?crire le concept, pour mieux trouver la d?nomination dans un contexte donn?, est une des fonctions du terminologue et la construction du syst?me notionnel une des t?ches centrales de son activit?. Se posent alors le probl?me des m?thodes et des outils pour la d?finition du syst?me conceptuel, mais ?galement celui des outils pour la d?finition et la gestion des terminologies. Dans ce cadre, les ontologies, au sens de l'ing?nierie des connaissances, offrent de nouvelles perspectives et de nouveaux march?s pour les terminologues. R?ciproquement, dans le contexte des nombreuses applications informatiques ? base d'ontologies, que ce soit pour des applications de traitement de l'information ou de gestion des connaissances, se pose le probl?me de la prise en compte des terminologies lors de l'acquisition des connaissances du domaine. Si les corpus de sp?cialit?s constituent une source privil?gi?e d'information, il reste ? d?finir des m?thodes d'analyse qui tiennent compte des diff?rences qui existent entre les textes et la conceptualisation formelle. La terminologie permet d'y r?pondre en distinguant les dimensions linguistique et conceptuelle. Elle ?tablit de plus des principes th?oriques et m?thodologiques utiles pour la construction d'ontologies. Objectifs La formation vise ? promouvoir la collaboration entre les professionnels de la langue et de la connaissance. Elle a ?galement pour objectif de pr?senter les th?ories, m?thodes et outils de construction d'ontologies ? des fins terminologiques, dotant ainsi : - les professionnels de la langue d'une approche m?thodologique et syst?matique (raisonnement formel) pour la d?finition du syst?me conceptuel, particuli?rement utile pour l'op?rationnalisation des terminologies ; - les professionnels de la connaissance de comp?tences linguistiques indispensables pour l'acquisition de connaissances ? partir de ressources linguistiques. Publics vis?s Linguistes, Terminologues, Lexicographes, Traducteurs, Documentalistes, Ing?nieurs cogniticiens, Informaticiens Programme Une part importante de la formation sera consacr?e ? des travaux pratiques pour la construction d'ontologies ? l'aide d'environnements logiciels. 1.

Webinar Overview Historically, MT post-editing has been thought of as brute-force and mindless correction of terrible MT errors that many translators and agencies want to avoid at all costs. And with some of the bad MT solutions and ?upload and pray? MT solutions out there, this may in fact be true. However, with good, responsive MT platforms like Asia Online?s Language Studio?, MT post-editing can be a dramatically different affair where work get done faster without compromising final quality ? and in some cases improving quality over a human only approach. It is also possible for all the stakeholders, the translation agency, translators and the final customer to all benefit economically from these more efficient production systems. In this webinar we will explore the different ways that Asia Online works together with our customers to ensure that the MT post-editing experience is positive and results in measurable productivity gains. We will describe how a custom MT system evolves and improves in quality over time within the Language Studio? platform and how this impacts MT post-editing. Joining Asia Online?s Dion Wiggins and Kirti Vashee is Scott Bass, CEO of Advanced Language Translation, who will present about their real-world experience with Language Studio? custom MT engines, how they evolved in quality and productivity, and the resulting expansion and new business relationships. Key topics covered include: Best practices in measuring quality and productivity Continuous improvement of custom MT engines A simple 4-step approach to measuring MT quality and determining fair post-editing rates Fair compensation for post editing MT Case Study: Advanced Language Translation ?

However, the majority of the available Web content is still unstructured or semi-structured. As a general trend, unstructured data seems to be growing faster than structured data. According to a 2011 IDC study, unstructured data will account for 90 percent of all data created in the next decade. As the main goal of the Web of Data is to stimulate the emergence of new dedicated applications giving the machines ability to process information, there is a strong need to extract as far as possible structured data from unstructured content available on the web. Furthermore, structured data sources provide entity to entity interconnections, resulting in a Web of Linked Entities spanning structured and unstructured data. According to this, there is also a strong emergent need to study how to associate non structured content (like textual documents) and structured content (like RDF triples) with information retrieval, extraction, integration and exploration existing techniques. The WoLE workshop series envisions a Web of Linked Entities (WoLE), which transparently connects the World Wide Web (WWW) and the Giant Global Graph (GGG) using methods from Information Retrieval (IR), Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Database Systems (DB) research communities. The previous edition of WoLE workshop have shown that different methods involved in specific research tasks of those communities (like co-reference detection in NLP or information extraction in IR) can provide different ways to improve the web of Linked Entities content and its relation with unstructured documents. According to this, the primary goal of WoLE is to confront propositions from IR, NLP and DB research communities describing how their specific methods can improve quality of the Web data, structure its documents and help to explore its content. OBJECTIVES AND TOPICS (but are not limited to): * Text and web mining * Pattern and semantic analysis of natural language, reading the web, learning by reading * Large-scale information extraction * Usage mining * Entity resolution and automatic discovery of entities * Frequent pattern analysis of entities and/or relationships * Entity linking, named entity disambiguation, cross-document co-reference resolution * Ontology representation of natural language text * Analysis of ontology models for natural language text * Learning and refinement of ontologies * Natural language taxonomies modeled to Semantic Web ontologies * Disambiguation with the support of knowledge bases * Multilingual information extraction * Use cases of entity recognition for Linked Data applications * Relationship extraction, slot filling * Impact of entity linking on information retrieval, semantic search, entity oriented search * Semantic relatedness and similarity using entities and relations SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION: We invite submissions of full papers (max. 8 pages) and short papers (max. 4 pages).

Les intervenants seront: Linguistique: Basilio Calderone - Mod?liser le mot par activations phonotactiques Universit? de Toulouse-Le Mirail Le probl?me de la repr?sentation du mot 'ortho-phonologique' dans le lexique mental du locuteur constitue un point crucial dans les recherches cognitivo-linquistiques des derni?res ann?es (Laudanna et al. 1992 ; Caramazza et Janssen 2009). Loin d'?tre confin? dans le domaine linguistique et comportemental, le d?bat touche des aspects de la r?flexion contemporaine sur la nature des processus computationnels d'?laboration des donn?es linguistiques en g?n?ral (voir par exemple Plaut et al. 1996 et Albright 2010 pour une vue d'ensemble). Nous proposons une mod?lisation computationnelle qui tente d'int?grer les diff?rentes niveaux d'organisation du mot: a) un niveau d'organisation de type local et phonotactique (les s?quences licites de phon?mes dans une langue) et b) un niveau d'organisation global et lexical (bas? sur une conception holistique du mot et des effets de voisinage lexical, 'lexical neighborhood'). Math?matiques: Ana Karina Fermin - Techniques d'apprentissage, planification d?exp?riences et s?lection de mod?les pour le probl?me de r?gression Modal'X - Universit? Paris Ouest Nanterre Dans un mod?le de r?gression, on souhaite estimer une fonction inconnue ? partir d'un ?chantillon d'apprentissage (t1,y1), ...(tn,yn) . Dans de nombreux cas, en particulier dans le milieu industriel, la mesure de yi au point ti est co?teuse. On ?tudie ici, comment choisir des points ti les plus informatifs possibles (selon un certain crit?re de d?cision sans connaitre les valeurs observ?es yi) . Dans un premier temps, nous proposons une nouvelle technique pour la s?lection d'un sous-?chantillon optimal (? mod?le fix?). Nous proposons ensuite des strat?gie pour s?lectionner simultan?ment un ?chantillon optimal et un mod?le optimal en combinant apprentissage actif et s?lection de mod?les.

As a way to avoid both the shallowness of word-based representations and the lack of coverage of specialized linguistic features, we use a graph-based representation of discourse segments, which allows for a more abstract (and hence generalizable) notion of syntactic (and partially of semantic) structure. Empirical evaluation on a hand-annotated corpus of German discourse relations shows that our graph- based approach not only provides a suitable representation for the linguistic factors that are needed in disambiguating discourse relations, but also improves results over a strong state-of-the-art baseline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Thu Jan 17 20:48:03 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:48:03 +0100 Subject: Appel: ENLG 2013 Message-ID: Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2013 16:47:38 +0100 From: Horacio Saggion Message-ID: X-url: http://www.um.edu.mt/events/enlg2013/ **************************** CFP *************************************** ENLG 2013 - 14th European Workshop on Natural Language Generation An ACL 2013 Workshop Sofia, Bulgaria August 8-9, 2013 FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS 1. ENLG 2013 ------------- Natural Language Generation (NLG) is a subfield of Natural Language Processing that focuses on the derivation of coherent text or speech from some underlying non-linguistic representation of information, such as databases or knowledge sources. Over the past several years, NLG has developed into a thriving area, with numerous applications which have both theoretical and practical interest. Contemporary work in NLG ranges from a focus on specific tasks, such as linguistic realisation of semantic forms and the generation of referring expressions, to complete solutions, ranging from data-to-text systems which summarise raw numerical datasets to the embedding of NLG components in multimedia and hypertext environments, or interactive systems. Recent work has also evinced interest in topics such as the handling of uncertainty in input data and its implications for the resulting text, the generation of coherent narrative text, and the handling of time. In keeping with developments in NLP more generally, these topics are being approached using a variety of techniques, from traditional, rule-based approaches to data-driven ones where machine learning and statistical modelling play a central role. Given its focus on the generation of text or speech, the field of NLG has clear links to other areas of NLP, such as Automatic Summarisation, Machine Translation, and Dialogue Systems. The ENLG 2013 workshop forms part of a biennial series of workshops on natural language generation that has been running since 1987, providing a regular forum for presentation of research in this area, both for NLG specialists and for researchers from related areas. ENLG is endorsed by the ACL Special Interest Group on Generation (SIGGEN). The 2013 edition will take place as an ACL workshop in Sofia, Bulgaria. It will continue the tradition of ENLG workshops, but also seeks to enhance the ties between the NLG community and related communities. For this edition, we especially invite submissions in areas dealing with NLG and summarisation. 2. Call for papers and demos ------------------------------ ENLG 2013 invites substantial, original, and unpublished submissions on all topics related to natural language generation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Affective / emotional generation - Content and text planning - Generation for embodied agents and robots - Evaluation of NLG systems - Data-to-text generation - Lexicalisation - Multimedia or multimodal generation - Story-telling and narrative generation - NLG for real-world applications - NLG in linguistically motivated frameworks - Personalization and personality of text - Psycholinguistics and NLG - Referring expression generation - Surface realization - Machine learning approaches to NLG tasks - Text-to-text generation and summarisation - NLG techniques for paraphrase generation - NLG techniques for abstractive summarisation This year, we also invite submissions for system demonstrations. Demo papers should describe implemented systems, which will be presented during demo sessions throughout the duration of the workshop. 3. Submission and format ------------------------- ENLG has three submission categories, long and short papers, and demo papers: - Long papers are most appropriate for presenting substantial research results and must not exceed eight (8) pages of content, with up to two additional pages for references (these will be orally presented); - Short papers are more appropriate for presenting an ongoing research effort and must not exceed four (4) pages, including references (these will be presented as posters during the poster session). - Demo papers should be no more than two pages in length, including references, and should describe implemented systems which are of relevance to the NLG community. Demo papers will be included in the proceedings. Authors of demo papers should be willing to present a demo of their system during ENLG 2013. The only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe PDF. Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings. Use of the ACL style files (available from http://acl2013.org/site/call.html) is strongly recommended. Reviewing will be blind, so you should avoid identifying the authors within the paper. Submissions should be uploaded to the Easychair website for the workshop (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=enlg2013). 4. Important dates ------------------- * April 19, 2013: Deadline for paper submission (long and short papers) * May 24, 2013: Notification of acceptance of papers * June 7, 2013: Camera-ready copies due * August 8-9, 2013: ENLG 2013 5.

Bien que les analyseurs syntaxiques modernes, appris sur corpus, atteignent des performances globales tout ? fait satisfaisantes, on remarque souvent que les informations utiles aux applications sont mal analys?es. Pour pallier ce probl?me, il peut ?tre int?ressant d'apprendre un analyseur pour une application pr?cise, par exemple la traduction automatique, les syst?mes de questions/r?ponses, ou l'extraction de relations/?v?nements dans des textes. R?cemment, Hall et al. [TDPJOMO] ont propos? une m?thode d'apprentissage en ligne (de type perceptron) pour int?grer des fonctions de perte non plus strictement syntaxiques mais qui portent plus librement sur des structures induites par les structures syntaxiques, notamment les structures produites par les applications en aval. Le but de ce stage est d'?tudier cette m?thode, l'apprentissage multi-objectif, de la g?n?raliser ? d'autres algorithmes d'apprentissage en ligne, de l'implanter dans un analyseur standard -- en l'occurrence [MSTparser] -- et de l'appliquer ? la t?che d'extraction de relations/?v?nements sur des textes biom?dicaux. profil recherch?: Nous cherchons un candidat : - de niveau M2 - comp?tent en java et python - ayant des notions d'apprentissage automatique - avec un int?r?t pour le traitement automatique des langues d?tails: Dans un premier temps, l'?tudiant devra se familiariser avec : - la notion d'extraction de relations - la cha?ne de traitement [TEES] qui a gagn? le challenge BioNLP 2009 - le corpus GENIA sur lequel le travail portera - l'analyseur MSTParser Dans la suite du stage, il devra d'abord ?valuer la cha?ne d'extraction lorsqu'elle est utilis?e avec le MSTParser sur une grammaire apprise ind?pendamment de la t?che. Il s'agira ensuite d'implanter un algorithme d'apprentissage multi-objectif de la grammaire et d'?valuer son incidence sur les performances du syst?me. contexte: ?quipe RCLN du LIPN, Universit?

The workshop 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. === Motivation and Topics of Interest === In recent years there has been an increasing interest in accessibility and usability issues. 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, NLP4ITA, etc.). However, language resources and tools to develop assistive technologies are still scarce. This workshop will give an opportunity for individuals from different communities to present research findings, discover future challenges, and discuss potential collaboration. We welcome papers describing tools, resources, models, techniques and evaluation from all areas of natural language processing tailored to accessibility and assistive technologies. These include, but are not limited to, the following: - Resources: corpora of inaccessible documents, aligned corpora, gold-standards and annotation schemes. - Evaluation, complexity and readability methodologies and metrics. - Novel modeling and machine learning techniques for improving accessibility. - Natural language generation for improving accessibility. - NLP for Web accessibility. - Text adaptation, elaboration, simplification and summarization. - User studies. - NLP tools for accessibility === Submission Information === We encourage contributions in the form of full papers (up to 8 pages long + 2 pages references). Papers should follow the NAACL format which is available at the NAACL 2013 Web Site (http://naacl2013.naacl.org/CFP.aspx). The submission process will be online using the START conference system. All accepted papers will be presented orally and published in the workshop proceedings. The workshop will feature an invited speaker. === Important dates === Paper submission deadline: 8th March 2013 Notification of acceptance: 31st March 2013 Camera-ready version: 12th April 2013 NAACL 2013 Workshops: 13th or 14th June (TO BE ANNOUNCED) === Organizers === Ricardo Baeza-Yates (Universidad Pompeu Fabra, Yahoo!)

It will be held over 2 days: the Thursday and Friday before Interspeech.). This workshop will provide a meeting place for the different communities interested into why, how and when speech is used by humans for signalling socio-affective functions. It will be dedicated to building interdisciplinary research and cross-fertilization between the different scientific communities All areas related to human communication are concerned: language and speech computing, robotics or virtual agents, as well as linguistics, phonetics, pragmatics, didactics, sociology, psychology, neuropsychology, ethology, biology, etc. The organisation of affect is complex ? from low-level emotion automatic or reflexive processing to higher cognitive levels , culture-dependent, language-organized, controlled processing. Speech can signal some very rich social and emotional cues, reflecting personality, social role, the cultural/language specificities in all human interactions and more broadly in human communication. This workshop will be especially the place where ?social emotions? will be debated from different points of view, with different meanings depending on the domain. --- The intended contributions can be related, but not limited to: - social emotions, social affect: theories or models, how and why signalled - social affect signals (e.g. expressions of automatic emotions and more social emotions, attitudes, intentions, mental states, cognitive processing, feelings...): corpus, description, annotation, etc - the cultural contrast of affective social speech - psychological/neuropsychological models and cues for social affect processing - social and anthropological models for analysing affective processing and emotions expressions - social affect in Human Machine Interaction and dialog - multimodality of the social signals in face to face speech interactions - the place of social speech affect in L2 learning - the challenge of social signals for robots and embodied virtual agents - social affect in speech technologies: speech synthesis, recognition or translation - speech social affect within personality, social rule and culture - lexicon of social affect in speech - sentiment analysis/opinion mining in speech - etc ******* Important dates: paper submission: 22 april 2103 acceptation notification: 17 june 2013 final submission: 22 july 2013 early registration: 27 june 2013 late registration: 20 july 2013 ---- WASSS overlaps 1 day with SLPAT at the same place: it will be possible to register WASSS together with SLPAT http://www.slpat.org/slpat2013/ (decreased fees) --- submission Papers should be a maximum of 4 pages Interspeech format (see submission guidelines on Interspeech site Every paper will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the scientific committee (extension of the program committee).

Given a two-word noun compound, the participants are asked to produce an explicitly ranked list of its free paraphrases. The list will be automatically compared and evaluated against a similarly ranked list of paraphrases proposed by human annotators, recruited and managed through Amazon's Mechanical Turk. The comparison of raw paraphrases will be sensitive to syntactic and morphological variations. The ranking of paraphrases will be based on their relative popularity among annotators. To achieve a reliable ranking, highly similar paraphrases will be grouped so as to downplay superficial differences in syntax and morphology.

Among many others, two influential proposals illustrate this trend: latent Dirichlet allocation and neural network based language models. These approaches are motivated by improving the generalization power of the discrete standard models, by dealing with the data sparsity issue and by efficiently handling a wide context. Despite the success of single word vector space models, they are limited since they do not capture compositionality. This prevents them from gaining a deeper understanding of the semantics of longer phrases or sentences. Another different trend of research on continuous vector space models belongs to the family of spectral methods. The motivation in that context is that working in a continuous space allows for the design of algorithms that are not plagued with the local minima issues that discrete latent space models tend to suffer from. In this workshop, we invite submissions of papers on continuous vector space models for natural language processing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * learning algorithms for continuous vector space models, * their compositionality, * their use in NLP applications, * spectral learning for NLP, * neural networks for NLP, * latent Dirichlet allocation and other continuous representations of documents * tensor models * distributed semantic representations INVITED SPEAKERS There will be two invited speakers Mirella Lapata and Xavier Carreras, and a panel discussion lead by Chris Manning. SUBMISSION INFORMATION Authors should submit a full paper of up to 8 pages in electronic, PDF format, with up to 2 additional pages for references. The reported research should be substantially original. The papers will be presented orally or as posters. All submissions must be in PDF format and must follow the ACL 2013 formatting requirements (available at the ACL 2013 website). We strongly advise the use of the provided LaTeX template files. Reviewing will be double-blind, and thus no author information should be included in the papers; self-reference should be avoided as well. Submissions must be made through the Softconf website set up for this workshop: https://www.softconf.com/acl2013/CVSC2013/ Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings, where no distinction will be made between papers presented orally or as posters.

Cette th?se traite de l?extraction d?unit?s lexicales en chinois contemporain ? partir d?un corpus de textes de sp?cialit?. Elle aborde la t?che d?extraction de lexique en chinois en utilisant des techniques se basant sur des caract?ristiques linguistiques de la langue chinoise. La th?se traite ?galement de la mani?re d??valuer l?extraction de lexique dans un environnement industriel. La premi?re partie de la th?se est consacr?e ? la description du contexte de l??tude. Nous nous attachons dans un premier temps ? d?crire les concepts linguistiques d?unit? lexicale et de lexique, et nous donnons une description du processus de construction des unit?s lexicales en chinois contemporain. Nous faisons ensuite un inventaire des diff?rentes techniques utilis?es par la communaut? scientifique pour traiter la t?che de l?extraction de lexique en chinois contemporain. Nous concluons cette partie par une description des pratiques d?extraction de lexique en milieu industriel, et nous proposons une formalisation des crit?res utilis?s par les terminographes d?entreprise pour s?lectionner les unit?s lexicales pertinentes. La deuxi?me partie du m?moire porte sur la description d?une m?thode d?extraction de lexique en chinois contemporain et sur son ?valuation. Nous introduisons une nouvelle m?thode num?rique non supervis?e s?appuyant sur des caract?ristiques structurelles de l?unit? lexicale en chinois et sur des particularit?s syntaxiques du chinois. La m?thode comporte un module optionnel permettant une interaction avec un op?rateur (i.e. semi-automatique). Dans la section consacr?e ? l??valuation, nous ?valuons d?abord le potentiel de la m?thode en comparant les r?sultats de l?extraction avec un standard de r?f?rence et une m?thode de r?f?rence. Nous mettons ensuite en ?uvre une ?valuation plus pragmatique de la m?thode en mesurant les gains apport?s par l?usage de la m?thode en comparaison avec l?extraction manuelle de lexique par des terminographes. Les r?sultats obtenus par notre m?thode sont de bonne qualit? et sont meilleurs que ceux produits par la m?thode de r?f?rence sur le standard de r?f?rence. Ces r?sultats sont encourageants, mais ils doivent ?tre confirm?s par une ?valuation plus compl?te. L??valuation pragmatique montre que la m?thode n?am?liore pas significativement la productivit? des terminographes, mais permet d?extraire des unit?s lexicales diff?rentes de celles obtenues manuellement. Abstract This thesis deals with lexical unit extraction in contemporary Chinese from a corpus of specialized texts. It addresses the task of Chinese lexicon extraction using techniques based on linguistic characteristics of the Chinese language. The thesis also discusses how to evaluate the extraction of a lexicon in an industrial environment. The first part of the thesis describes the context of the study. We focus on describing the linguistic concepts of vocabulary and lexical units, and we also give a description of the construction of lexical units in contemporary Chinese. We then make a inventory of the different techniques used by the scientific community to address the task of extracting a contemporary Chinese lexicon. We conclude this section by describing lexicon extraction practices in industry, and we propose a formalization of the criteria used by terminologists to select the relevant lexical units. The second part of this thesis deals with the description of a method for extracting Chinese contemporary lexicon and its evaluation. We introduce a new numerical unsupervised method based on structural features of the lexical unit in Chinese and syntactic features of Chinese. The method includes an optional module to interact with a user (i.e. semi-automatic). In the section related to the evaluation, we first evaluate the potential of the method by comparing extraction results to a reference standard and a reference method. We then implement a more pragmatic evaluation of the method by measuring the gains using this method as opposed to manual lexicon extraction by terminologists. The results obtained by our method are better than those produced by the reference method on the reference standard. These results are encouraging, but need to be confirmed by a more comprehensive study. The pragmatic evaluation shows that the method does not significantly improve the productivity of terminologists but can extract different lexical units than those obtained manually. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Thu Jan 24 19:36:44 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:36:44 +0100 Subject: Appel: Ateliers TALN'2013 (extension de la date de soumission) Message-ID: Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 16:37:40 +0100 From: Emmanuel Morin Message-ID: <51015544.2020501 at univ-nantes.fr> DERNIER APPEL ?

La langue officielle de la conf?rence est le fran?ais. Les communications en anglais sont accept?es pour les participants non francophones. TYPES DE COMMUNICATIONS ----------------------- Deux formats de communications sont pr?vus : les articles longs (de 12 ? 14 pages) et les articles courts (de 6 ? 8 pages). Les auteurs sont invit?s ? pr?senter deux types de communications : 1) des articles pr?sentant des travaux de recherche originaux, 2) des prises de position pr?sentant un point de vue sur l'?tat des recherches en TALN, fond?es sur une solide exp?rience du domaine. Les articles longs seront pr?sent?s sous forme d?une communication orale, les articles courts sous forme d?une affiche.

R?sum? : The current literature on morphological processing is dominated by the view that reading a complex word is a two-staged process, with an early blind morphemic decomposition process followed by a late process of semantic recombination (Taft, 2004; Rastle and Davis, 2008a). Various behavioral and magneto- and electroencephalography studies suggest semantic recombination would take place approximately 300-500 ms post onset of the visual stimulus (Lavric et al., 2007). However, eye-tracking studies show that both simple and complex words are read at a rate of 4 to 5 words/second (Rayner, 1998). We report an eye-tracking experiment tracing the reading of English compounds in simple sentences. For about 33% of the trials, a single fixation sufficed for understanding the meaning of the compound. For such trials, the meaning of the compound was available already some 140 ms after the eye first landed on the modifier. All first fixations also revealed an effect of the semantic relatedness of the modifier and head constituents, gauged with a latent semantic analysis (LSA) similarity measure. These results indicate a much earlier involvement of semantics than predicted by the first-form-then-meaning scenario. Second and subsequent fixation durations revealed that at later processing stages very different semantic processes were involved, gauged by modifier-compound and head-compound LSA similarity measures. Computational modeling of the first fixation with naive discrimination learning (Baayen et al., 2011) indicated that the early (and only the early) semantic effect arises due to the model's connection weights' sensitivity to the collocational co-occurence statistics of orthographic and semantic information carried by word trigrams. We understand the LSA effects arising at later fixations as reflecting semantic processes seeking to resolve the uncertainty about the targeted meaning that arises as an unintended and time-costly side effect of later fixations causing the head's meaning to be co-activated along with the compound's meaning. Instead of viewing blind morphological decomposition as the gateway through which meaning can be reached, we think that when the meaning of the head becomes available, due to the (non-morphological) nature of visual information uptake when the initial landing position of the eye is non-optimal, understanding comes with greater cognitive costs: Decomposition makes things worse. We speculate that the late semantic effects in the electrophysiological literature, especially those around the N400 time window, reflect late semantic cleaning operations.

Edinburg) Simplicity and Expressivity Compete in Cultural Evolution: Linguistic Structure is the Result. R?sum? : Language, like other human behaviours, exhibits striking systematic structure. For example, two central design features of human language are the way in which sentences are composed of recombinable words, and the way in which those words in turn are created out of combinations of reusable sounds. These properties make language unique among communication systems and enable us to convey an open-ended array of messages. Recently, researchers have turned to cultural evolution as a possible mechanism to explain systematic structure such as this in language. In this talk, I will briefly present a series of experiments and a computational model that demonstrate why this is a promising avenue for research. Using diffusion chain methods in the laboratory, we can observe how behaviour evolves as it is transmitted through repeated cycles of learning and production (a process known as "iterated learning"). Across a wide range of experimental contexts, we observe an apparent universal: behaviour transmitted by iterated learning becomes increasingly compressible. When combined with a pressure to also be expressive, this may be sufficient to deliver up the structural design features of language. Although this work is focussed on human language as a test case, the conclusions are quite general. Cultural transmission by iterated learning is an adaptive process that delivers systematic structure for free. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 26 19:54:52 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2013 20:54:52 +0100 Subject: Appel: TOTh 2013, Date limite de soumission et Conference invitee, Disputatio Message-ID: Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 10:14:45 +0100 From: Luc Damas Message-ID: X-url: http://www.porphyre.org/toth/fr Conf?rence TOTh 2013 Terminologie & Ontologie : Th?ories et applications http://www.porphyre.org/toth/fr ------------------------------------------------ RAPPEL : Date limite de soumission : 28/01/2013 http://www.porphyre.org/toth/toth-2013/soumissions ------------------------------------------------ Conf?rence invit?e : Titre : ? Ontologies et d?-ontologie ? Conf?rencier : Fran?ois RASTIER, Directeur de recherche CNRS http://www.porphyre.org/toth/toth-2013/conference-d-ouverture R?sum? : Pour ce qui concerne la terminologie, l?expos? s?appuiera sur la s?mantique de corpus th?oriques (scientifiques et philosophiques) pour en situer la port?e. Il interrogera ensuite le format ontologique, produit d?une th?orie de la connaissance et d?une tradition m?taphysique concr?tis?e par la s?mantique d?notative. Il est g?n?ralis? en repr?sentation des connaissances, et dont le Web s?mantique, ? la suite des r?seaux s?mantiques de l?IA, puis des Wordnets des ann?es 90, constitue l?aboutissement et la g?n?ralisation, en m?me temps qu?un domaine d?application majeur. En passant du web des documents au web des donn?es, il a affirm? la pr??minence des m?tadonn?es sur les donn?es. Les extensions au web des objets en t?moignent et l?on doit souligner leurs implications ?conomiques et militaires ; a fortiori pour les enjeux politiques du web des individus et du champ des Big data. La dualit? entre ontologies et r?seaux sociaux, web s?mantique et socio-s?mantique semble devenir une compl?mentarit? ; les cons?quences ?thiques de cette situation doivent ?videmment ?tre d?battues. L?expos? ?bauchera enfin les ?l?ments d?une prax?ologie qui subordonne toute repr?sentation des connaissances ? des t?ches d?termin?es et temporaires : la connaissance n?est pas une repr?sentation incr?mentale, mais un apprentissage dans une pratique sociale. Incompatible avec les normalisations ontologiques, l?historicit? ind?niable des donn?es et leur diversit? s?miotique appelle la m?thodologie historique et comparative propre aux sciences de la culture. ------------------------------------------------ Disputatio : Titre : ? Le concept et la langue. Pourquoi revenir aux fondements de la pens?e de Ferdinand de Saussure quand on fait de la terminologie ? ? Conf?rencier : Lo?c Depecker, Professeur, Universit? de Paris III Sorbonne http://www.porphyre.org/toth/toth-2013/disputatio R?sum? : A partir de quelques extraits de manuscrits autographes de Saussure, il s'agira de situer l'importance de r?examiner aujourd'hui les concepts fondamentaux de la linguistique. Car ces concepts fondamentaux induisent les m?thodologies n?cessaires ? la conduite de projets terminologiques et ontoterminologiques. L'une des id?es majeures est de faire la part de ce qui est de l'ordre du concept et ce qui est de l'ordre de la langue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 26 20:01:08 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2013 21:01:08 +0100 Subject: ATALA: Voeux 2013 Message-ID: Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:03:31 +0000 From: Fr?d?rique Segond Message-ID: Chers amis et amies du traitement automatique des langues ! Comme chaque ann?e je viens vous remercier de votre soutient et de votre confiance et vous souhaiter, pour 2013, des brass?es de bonheur, de sant? et d'intelligence. On m'a r?cemment fait remarquer que 2013 est la 1?re ann?e en 26 ans (apr?s 1987) ? ?tre form?e de chiffres tous diff?rents. Soyez rassur?s, je ne sombre pas dans la num?rologie et je n'additionnerai donc pas l'?ge de l'ATALA divis? par son poids (nous sommes trop nombreux:)) pour vous pr?dire quel sera son avenir cette ann?e. Pourtant en regardant les faits il n'est pas interdit d'?tre optimiste. L'ATALA se porte bien, le nombre des adh?sions est stable, et ce, malgr? une l?g?re augmentation des cotisations, tout comme a ?t? stable le nombre des candidatures au prix de th?se instaur? l'an pass? et l'?dition conjointe TALN JEP fut un r?el succ?s. Qu'il me soit permis de vous encourager ? assister ? la prochaine ?dition, organis?e par le LINA et qui aura lieu aux Sables d'Olonne du 17 au 21 Juin 2013. Et comme l'ATALA ne recule devant aucun sacrifice, si ce n'est d?j? fait, il vous reste encore quelques petits jours pour soumettre un article (1er F?vrier). Soyez attentifs ?galement ? l'appel ? candidatures pour le prix de th?se 2013 qui sera publi? dans quelques jours. Cette ann?e le jury sera pr?sid?, comme le veut la d?sormais coutume, par notre Laur?at 2012, Thomas Francois, de l'Universit? de Louvain, et co-pr?sid? par Patrick Paroubek et moi-m?me. Vous le savez d?j?, mais une des missions de l'ATALA consiste ? faire du lobbying aupr?s des institutions et des organismes afin de donner au TAL l'importance qu'il m?rite. Ce fut fait cette ann?e via diff?rentes actions et rencontres aupr?s du CNRS, de l'ANR ou de la Commission Europ?enne. Patrick a ?galement pr?sent? l'ATALA ? la journ?e autour du Big Data organis?e par l'Aproged et Karen et Benoit ont poursuivi leur l'action autour du crowdsourcing. Une charte autour d'?thique et Big data actuellement en cours de r?daction. En ces temps o? nombreux aiment ? faire croire que les d?fis scientifiques du TAL sont pratiquement r?solus, il est important de faire entendre notre voix. En 2013 nous voulons entendre votre voix ! Nous vous distribuerons un questionnaire pour savoir ce que vous attendez de l'Association afin d'encore mieux r?pondre ? vos attentes. Stendhal a dit ? Ce n'est pas tant d'?tre riche qui fait le bonheur, c'est de le devenir. ?. En 2013 faites un beau geste, aidez l'ATALA ? ?tre heureuse ! Adh?rer, vous l'avez compris c'est simple (http://www.atala.org/adhesion) et ?a rapporte forcement gros.

This book attempts to reconcile these disciplines through the common denominator of consciousness, but on one of its specific aspect. The book presents a concept of-motivation of field of activity, as a biological motor of a state of consciousness, and of which system informatics enables to reveal its existence. If consciousness is not well defined, a limited frame provides a more precise and observable definition despite the context complexity of the individuals: psychological, social and technical. These observable elements are of two nature: a nature of principal activity and a cognitive-linguistic nature, which are adapted with extrinsic and intrinsic control factors. The argument presented here consists in presenting a state of consciousness as related to the concept of instinctive (therefore physiological) information need, and whose carrier traces on the traditional information channels, i.e. letters and subscriptions and on the modern information channels, i.e. text messages and web pages, can be analyzed via knowledge extraction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 26 20:04:00 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2013 21:04:00 +0100 Subject: Appel: SSST-7, Seventh Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical Translation (NAACL 2013) Message-ID: Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 07:51:44 -0800 From: "Carpuat, Marine" Message-ID: X-url: http://www.cs.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/ SSST-7: Seventh Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical Translation NAACL 2013 / SIGMT / SIGLEX Workshop Jun 13 or 14 2013, Atlanta, GA *** Submission deadline: 01 Mar 2013 *** The Seventh Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical Translation (SSST-7) seeks to build on the foundations established in the first six SSST workshops, which brought together a large number of researchers working on diverse aspects of structure, semantics and representation in relation to statistical machine translation. Its program each year has comprised high-quality papers discussing current work spanning topics including: new grammatical models of translation; new learning methods for syntax- and semantics-based models; formal properties of synchronous/transduction grammars (hereafter S/TGs); discriminative training of models incorporating linguistic features; using S/TGs for semantics and generation; and syntax- and semantics-based evaluation of machine translation. The need for structural mappings between languages is widely recognized in the fields of statistical machine translation and spoken language translation, and there is a growing consensus that these mappings are appropriately represented using a family of formalisms that includes synchronous/transduction grammars and their tree-transducer equivalents. To date, flat-structured models, such as the word-based IBM models of the early 1990s or the more recent phrase-based models, remain widely used. But tree-structured mappings arguably offer a much greater potential for learning valid generalizations about relationships between languages. Within this area of research there is a rich diversity of approaches. There is active research ranging from formal properties of S/TGs to large-scale end-to-end systems. There are approaches that make heavy use of linguistic theory, and approaches that use little or none. There is theoretical work characterizing the expressiveness and complexity of particular formalisms, as well as empirical work assessing their modeling accuracy and descriptive adequacy across various language pairs. There is work being done to invent better translation models, and work to design better algorithms. Recent years have seen significant progress on all these fronts. In particular, systems based on these formalisms are now top contenders in MT evaluations. At the same time, SMT has seen a movement toward semantics over the past few years, which has been reflected at recent SSST workshops, including the last two editions which had semantics for SMT as a special theme. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely linked and SSST-7 continues to encourage submissions on semantics for MT in a number of directions, including semantic role labeling and sense disambiguation for translation and evaluation. We invite papers on: * syntax-based / semantics-based / tree-structured SMT * machine learning techniques for inducing structured translation models * algorithms for training, decoding, and scoring with semantic representation structure * empirical studies on adequacy and efficiency of formalisms * creation and usefulness of syntactic/semantic resources for MT * formal properties of synchronous/transduction grammars * learning semantic information from monolingual, parallel or comparable corpora * unsupervised and semi-supervised word sense induction and disambiguation methods for MT * lexical substitution, word sense induction and disambiguation, semantic role labeling, textual entailment, paraphrase and other semantic tasks for MT * semantic features for MT models (word alignment, translation lexicons, language models, etc.) * evaluation of syntactic/semantic components within MT (task-based evaluation) * scalability of structured translation methods to small or large data * applications of S/TGs to related areas including: speech translation formal semantics and semantic parsing paraphrases and textual entailment information retrieval and extraction * syntactically- and semantically-motivated evaluation of MT ORGANIZERS Marine CARPUAT, National Research Council Canada Lucia SPECIA, University of Sheffield Dekai WU, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology IMPORTANT DATES Mar 01, 2013 Paper due date Mar 29, 2013 Notification of acceptance Apr 12, 2013 Camera-ready deadline Jun 13 or 14, 2013 Workshop For more information: http://www.cs.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Sat Jan 26 20:08:01 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2013 21:08:01 +0100 Subject: Job: Stage, Acquisition semi-automatique de patrons caracteristiques a partir de textes Message-ID: Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 23:26:34 +0100 From: Thierry Poibeau Message-Id: *** Proposition de stage : acquisition semi-automatique de patrons caract?ristiques ? partir de textes *** * Descriptif : Le stage vise ? extraire semi-automatiquement des patrons syntaxico-s?mantiques ? partir de textes. Cette t?che a plusieurs applications possibles : les patrons peuvent servir ? rep?rer des ?l?ments pr?cis dans un texte (t?che classique d'extraction d'information) mais ils peuvent aussi servir de base ? des travaux plus linguistiques, visant par exemple ? caract?riser des textes en fonction de particularit?s qui ne sont pas directement observables. Les outils existants reposent essentiellement sur des patrons tr?s proches des formes de surface (Hearst 1992) ou sur des m?thodes ? base d'apprentissage produisant de tr?s nombreux patrons qui sont ensuite difficiles ? trier et ? analyser (Quiniou et al., 2012). Ces ?tudes ont toutefois mis en avant des approches efficaces et reposant sur un certain nombre de points communs (pr?analyse du texte par un analyseur morphosyntaxique, rep?rage de s?quences continues ou non, contraintes sur le niveau d'analyse possible). Pour aller plus loin, il semble n?cessaire de proposer des approches interactives, de sorte que l'analyste puisse sp?cifier dynamiquemlent ses besoins et ainsi guider au mieux l'analyse. * D?roulement du stage Le stage se d?roulera suivant plusieurs ?tapes : - ?tat de l'art et choix d'une approche ad?quate - impl?mentation d'un algorithme interactif (en r?utilisant si possible un logiciel existant pour l'acquisition des patrons eux-m?mes) - validation sur une t?che ? pr?ciser (la t?che vis?e et le corpus seront discut?s au d?but du stage) - r?daction d'un rapport de stage * R?f?rences - Marti Hearst (1992).

This includes translating discourse phenomena that depend on more than just the context of the current sentence or of n-grams to the left and/or right; ensuring document-level consistency in the choice of lexical items or referring forms or in document style or register; and ensuring that source-language discourse relations between clauses and/or sentences are also realized in the target text. Given this renewed interest, we are pleased to invite paper submissions to the ACL 2013 Workshop on Discourse in MT, to be held on August 9, 2013 in Sofia. The papers should focus on language processing techniques, whether theoretically-inspired or empirical, which address one or more of the discourse-level phenomena listed below, either in combination with MT, or from a cross-lingual perspective. We especially welcome papers that propose methods and software which enhance the capabilities of MT systems on discourse-level phenomena. Papers assessing the importance and origins of MT difficulties with discourse, including research and commercial MT systems, are suitable as well. The proposed workshop solicits submissions more particularly focused on the following topics, but welcomes also submissions that link discourse studies with machine translation in some other way. - discourse processing in support of MT, including: o textual coherence, including anaphora, coreference, tense, aspect and modality o textual cohesion, including lexical consistency o discourse structure, including appropriate use of connectives and information structuring devices o topic structure o consistency in style and register - MT techniques for obtaining document-level consistency and domain adaptability; - MT techniques for structured documents; - methods and algorithms to handle discourse-level phenomena in MT training and decoding; - uses of MT in processing discourse-level phenomena; - techniques for assessing the impact of discourse-level processing on MT quality; - quantitative studies on the impact of discourse-level phenomena on current MT systems vs. discourse-aware ones. Submission instructions We solicit previously unpublished work, presented either as long or short papers, following the ACL 2013 formatting guidelines available at http://acl2013.org/site/call.html. Long papers should have at most 8 pages of content, not including references. Short papers are limited to 4 pages of content, not including references. There is no constraint on the length of the reference list. Both types of submissions should be anonymous, i.e. do not disclose in any way the identity of the author(s). Papers must be submitted using the START system at the URL indicated on the workshop's website.

CALL FOR PAPERS Many NLP systems generate or reformulate human language but how readable is the output? What makes language easy or difficult to read for different types of readers? How can existing text be manipulated to improve information access? How does writing style affect readability, comprehension, and appreciation of text? The last few years have seen a resurgence of interest in these questions amongst computational linguists as attention turns to more sophisticated techniques for textual presentation and to address the widely differing needs of end users. The relevance of this research area has spawned a number of workshops on related topics, for example, SL-PAT 2012 (slpat.org) and NLP4ITA 2012 (www.taln.upf.edu/nlp4ita/), and a new special interest group, Speech and Language Processing for Assistive Technologies (http://slpat.org/), which sponsors this workshop. PITR is a cross-disciplinary workshop bringing together researchers in any field concerned with the readability, accessibility and quality of text, particularly computational linguists, psycholinguists and educational researchers. We solicit papers on: - Reformulation of existing text (text-to-text systems) - Generation of readable language from data (data-to-text systems) - Generation of text in specific styles and registers for readability - Evaluation of language simplification strategies - Evaluation of the readability of computer-generated text - Evaluation of the readability of machine translation output - Prediction of aspects of text style related to readability - Prediction of the readability of documents - Readability issues in specialist texts such as questionnaires, exam questions, safety instructions, etc. - Novel evaluation strategies for assessing text readability - Novel readability metrics - Techniques for simplifying lexis - Techniques for simplifying syntax - Techniques for simplifying discourse properties (making text more transparent, etc.) - Techniques for manipulating textual layout to improve accessibility - Techniques for making descriptions of numerical quantities more accessible - Techniques for making technical terminology more accessible - Techniques for making descriptions of logical statements more accessible - Techniques for explaining complex ideas through accessible text - Systems aimed at adults with poor literacy - Systems aimed at children learning to read - Systems aimed at 2nd language learners - Systems aimed at people with language deficits (aphasia, deafness, neurodegeneration, etc.) - Systems aimed at non-experts accessing technical material SUBMISSIONS Papers should prepared in ACL format not exceeding 8 pages in length plus up to 2 additional pages for references. Papers should also be anonymised for blind reviewing. Whilst only certain authors will be invited to give oral presentations, all accepted authors will be expected to present a poster. Last year, the poster session was very lively, giving poster-only authors and oral-presentation authors ample opportunities to discuss their research.

Such an offer consists of several sets of speech, text and multimodal resources that are regularly released, for free, as soon as legal aspects are cleared. A first set was released in May 2012 at the occasion of LREC 2012. A second set is now being released. Whenever this is permitted by our licences, please feel free to use these resources for deriving new resources and depositing them with the ELRA catalogue for community re-use. Over the last decade, ELRA has compiled a large list of resources into its Catalogue of LRs. ELRA has negotiated distribution rights with the LR owners and made such resources available under fair conditions and within a clear legal framework. Following this initiative, ELRA has also worked on LR discovery and identification with a dedicated team which investigated and listed existing and valuable resources in its "Universal Catalogue", a list of resources that could be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. At LREC 2010, ELRA introduced the LRE Map, an inventory of LRs, whether developed or used, that were described in LREC papers. This huge inventory listed by the authors themselves constitutes the first "community-built" catalogue of existing or emerging resources, constantly enriched and updated at major conferences. Considering the latest trends on easing the sharing of LRs, from both legal and commercial points of view, ELRA is taking a major role in META-SHARE, a large European open infrastructure for sharing LRs. This infrastructure will allow LR owners, providers and distributors to distribute their LRs through an additional and cost-effective channel. To obtain the available sets of LRs, please visit the web page below and follow the instructions given online: http://www.elra.info/Free-LRs,26.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffuse par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.atala.org/article.php3?id_article=48 English version : Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html http://liste.cines.fr/info/ln La liste LN est parrainee par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adhesion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR Tue Jan 29 21:19:07 2013 From: thierry.hamon at UNIV-PARIS13.FR (Thierry Hamon) Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:19:07 +0100 Subject: Info: Prix de These ATALA 2013 Message-ID: Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:54:13 +0000 From: Fr?d?rique Segond Message-ID: X-url: http://www.atala.org/_Prix-de-la-these_ Prix de la th?se 2013 L'ATALA, Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues, d?cernera pour la troisi?me fois en 2013 un prix de th?se r?compensant d'excellents travaux francophones dans le domaine du TAL.

Given a two-word noun compound, the participants are asked to produce an explicitly ranked list of its free paraphrases. The list will be automatically compared and evaluated against a similarly ranked list of paraphrases proposed by human annotators, recruited and managed through Amazon's Mechanical Turk. The comparison of raw paraphrases will be sensitive to syntactic and morphological variations. The ranking of paraphrases will be based on their relative popularity among annotators. To achieve a reliable ranking, highly similar paraphrases will be grouped so as to downplay superficial differences in syntax and morphology.
