International Nooj 2014 Conference

June 3-5, University of Sassari - Italy

Call for Papers

http://nooj2014.uniss.it

Submission deadline: 1 February 2014 at 24:00 CET (GMT+1)

NooJ is a linguistic development environment that allows linguists to
formalize several levels of linguistic phenomena:

- typography and spelling;
- lexicons of simple words, multiword units and discontinuous
  expressions;
- inflectional, derivational and agglutinative morphology;
- local and structural syntax;
- transformational syntax and paraphrase generation;
- semantic analysis and machine translation.

For each of these levels NooJ provides linguists with one or more formal
tools specifically designed to facilitate the description of each
phenomenon, aswell as parsing/development/debugging tools designed to be
as computationallyefficient as possible, from Finite-State to Turing
machines. The integrationof all the linguistic levels in one compatible
platform distinguishes NooJfrom other computational linguistic
frameworks which provide a uniqueformalism, incompatible with others.

As a corpus processing tool, NooJ allows researchers in various
socialsciences to extract information from corpora by applying
sophisticated queriesbased on concepts and relations (rather than word
forms) and automaticallybuild concordances, add semantic annotations,
and perform statistical analyses. NooJ has been endorsed by the
Meta-Share CESAR Project of theEuropean Community, is now available as a
JAVA open source package and runsunder Windows LINUX and Mac OSX
platforms. NooJ linguistic modules for over 20languages are freely
available at www.nooj4nlp.net.

The NooJ conference intends to:

- give NooJ users and researchers in Linguistics and in
  ComputationalLinguistics 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 futuredevelopments;

- offer researchers and graduate students two tutorials (one basic and
  oneadvanced) to help them parse corpora and build NLP applications
  using NooJ;

- provide the occasion to present and discover the recent developments
  of NooJitself (v3).
