Call for Demos: The First International Workshop on Big Data Discovery
and Curation

Traditionally, data warehouses have been used to provide business users
ways to consolidate information from different sources for analysis and
reporting. For getting data ready for analysis, ETL
(extract-transfrom-load) is used which involves reading data from
different sources, cleaning the data, converting the format of the input
data so that it conforms to the target database, and writing it to the
target database.
Big data paradigm is changing this problem due to three V’s: volume,
velocity, and variety. In big data paradigm, potentially a large number
of data sources and data assets are considered for analytics. One needs
to discover, integrate, and analyze large volumes of diverse data
quickly.
Finding relevant data for analytics is an important data discovery
problem.  Data diversity makes this problem difficult. The diversity of
the data can be due to data model; type of data—structured,
semi-structured, or unstructured; enterprise data vs. open public data;
integrating social media data, etc. One also needs to handle data
quality and data governance issues. In this workshop we invite
demonstrations displaying techniques for identifying relevant sets of
data, finding different kinds of relationships between structured,
semi-structured, and unstructured data, curating the data for further
analysis, integrating data using various join, union, and merge
techniques, validating the integrated data, and analyzing it, from
various industry domains.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Cleaning big data
- Integration of big heterogeneous data
- Metadata extraction
- Automated rule generation
- Curating data
- Data discovery
- Provisioning and data lineage

We welcome good demonstrations, including of previously accepted
papers/demos, for this workshop. Authors need to send manuscript
describing the demo in up to 2 pages (2 column format) inclusive of all
references and figures. Manuscripts must be written in English, and
formatted according to IEEE proceedings templates. Please see the
workshop website https://sites.google.com/site/bddc2014/ for more
details.

Important dates:
Demo proposals due:  July 5, 2014
Notification of acceptance:  July 15, 2014
Workshop:   August 24, 2014

Première annonce : Séminaire-Atelier 

Enjeux, méthodes et outils pour améliorer la rédaction des textes
techniques

IRIT, Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, 13-14 Novembre 2014

Objectifs 

La rédaction technique est un secteur en pleine expansion du fait, entre
autres, de la complexité des produits commercialisés et des processus
industriels, des exigences croissantes en sécurité et du développement
des approches en spécification (exigences, règles métier). Les tâches
dévolues aux rédacteurs techniques deviennent de plus en plus
lourdes. Celles-ci incluent une prise en compte plus importante des
interactions avec le métier et les opérateurs, mais aussi la prise en
compte des contraintes réglementaires et un accroissement important en
matière de qualité de rédaction. Cette qualité de rédaction est d’une
nature différente des contrôles offerts par les éditeurs de textes
classiques et nécessite une démarche particulière.

L’objectif de ce séminaire est de faire se rencontrer les différents
métiers de la rédaction technique, les chercheurs, les enseignants, et
les industriels qui développent des outils d’aide à la rédaction
technique afin d’approfondir une connaissance réciproque des métiers de
la rédaction ainsi que les possibilités d’aide que peuvent offrir des
systèmes avancés en matière de traitement de la langue, intelligence
artificielle et ergonomie cognitive.

Le séminaire consistera en présentations, démonstrations et études de
cas, dans le but de promouvoir des liens entre métiers et de développer
de nouvelles synergies.

Thèmes (non exhaustifs)

- Pratiques de la rédaction technique (en linguistique, ergonomie,
  psycholinguistique), protocoles d’analyse de ces pratiques

- Le document technique : aspects épistémologiques, fonctionnels,
  linguistiques, conceptuels. Le document technique, ses évolutions et
  ses challenges, incluant la dimension multimédia

- Théories et recommandations de la rédaction technique (par
  ex. minimalisme, différentes déclinaisons de la langue contrôlée (par
  ex. par rapport au domaine, aux tâches, au type de doc technique)),
  normes métier,

- Les attentes et besoins de la rédaction technique, le fonctionnement
  de la salle de rédaction ; rédaction et cycles de vie des documents,
  la relation rédacteur-opérateur (par ex. le REX),

- La rédaction technique dans une langue étrangère au rédacteur
  (anglais),

- Rédaction technique et maitrise des risques industriels : modèles
  mathématiques, psychologiques, etc.,

- Les challenges en analyse de la cohérence et de la cohésion des
  documents,

- Les systèmes d’aide à la rédaction technique au niveau de la langue
  (Rat-RQA, Rubric, Lelie, etc.), et au niveau fonctionnel (Scenari,
  plateformes basées XML),

- Méthodes en correction des erreurs : stratégies et processus, méthodes
  linguistiques, capitalisation des corrections, mémoire de correction,

- Démonstrations de systèmes.

Participation : gratuite. S’inscrire avant le 15 Octobre. Pour une
intervention, soumettre un résumé d’une page en Word, format libre,
avant le 15 septembre. Réponse le 30 Septembre. Les industriels auteurs
de solutions de rédaction ainsi que les équipes de rédacteurs sont
encouragées à participer.

--2nd Workshop on Computational History (HistoInformatics 2014)--
-----------------------------------------------------------------

                      Held in conjunction with the

   6th International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo 2014)

                            Barcelona, Spain

         http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/histoinformatics2014/

--------------Paper submission deadline September 1, 2014--------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The 2nd International Workshop on Computational History
(Histoinformatics 2014) aims at fostering the interaction between
Computer Science and Historical Science. This interdisciplinary
initiative is a response to the growing popularity of Digital Humanities
and an increased tendency to apply computer techniques for supporting
and facilitating research in Humanities. Nowadays, due to the increasing
activities in digitizing and opening historical sources, the Science of
History can greatly benefit from the advances of Computer and
Information sciences which consist of processing, organizing and making
sense of data and information. As such, new Computer Science techniques
can be applied to verify and validate historical assumptions based on
text reasoning, image interpretation or memory understanding. Our
objective is to provide for the two different research communities a
place to meet and exchange ideas and to facilitate discussion. We hope
the workshop will result in a survey of current problems and potential
solutions, with particular focus on exploring opportunities for
collaboration and interaction of researchers working on various subareas
within Computer Science and History Sciences.

The main topics of the workshop are that of supporting historical
research and analysis through the application of Computer Science
theories or technologies, analyzing and making use of historical texts,
recreating past course of actions, analyzing collective memories,
visualizing historical data, providing efficient access to large wealth
of accumulated historical knowledge and so on. The detailed topics of
expected paper submissions are (but not limited to):

- Natural language processing and text analytics applied to historical
  documents
- Analysis of longitudinal document collections
- Search and retrieval in document archives and historical collections,
  associative search
- Causal relationship discovery based on historical resources
- Named entity recognition and disabmiguation
- Entity relationship extraction, detecting and resolving historical
  references in text
- Finding analogical entities over time
- Computational linguistics for old texts
- Analysis of language change over time
- Digitizing and archiving
- Modeling evolution of entities and relationships over time
- Automatic multimedia document dating
- Applications of Artificial Intelligence techniques to History
- Simulating and recreating the past, social relations, motivations, 
  figurations
- Handling uncertain and fragmentary text and image data
- Automatic biography generation
- Mining Wikipedia for historical data
- OCR and transcription old texts
- Effective interfaces for searching, browsing or visualizing historical
  data collections
- Studies on collective memory
- Studying and modeling forgetting and remembering processes
- Estimating credibility of historical findings
- Probing the limits of Histoinformatics
- Epistemologies in the Humanities and Computer Science

Full paper submissions are limited to 10 pages, while short paper
submissions should be less than 5 pages. Submissions should be sent in
English in PDF via the submission website. They should be formatted
according to Springer LNCS paper formatting guidelines. They must be
original and have not been submitted for publication elsewhere.
Submissions will be evaluated by at least three different reviewers who
come from Computer Science and History Science backgrounds. The accepted
papers will be published by Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS). See website for more details.

Bonjour

il n'est pas trop tard pour soumettre un article au numéro spécial de la
revue TAL sur l'oral !!!!!

Cordialement

Laurent Besacier


Dernier appel à communications: numéro spécial sur le traitement
automatique du langage parlé pour la revue TAL (Traitement Automatique
des Langues) 

----ENGLISH VERSION OF THIS CFP CAN BE FOUND AT THE END OF THIS
    MESSAGE------

possibilité de soumettre jusqu'au 15 juillet! 

Direction : Laurent Besacier, Wolfang Minker

Date limite : 30 juin 2014 (possibilité de mettre à jour article jq'au
15 juillet)
 
La communication orale reste le moyen le plus naturel pour dialoguer et
interagir (avec la machine ou avec une autre personne). Le traitement
automatique du langage parlé (TALP) et le dialogue trouvent désormais de
nombreuses applications directes dans des domaines divers tels que
(liste non exhaustive) la recherche d'information, l'interaction en
langue naturelle avec des dispositifs mobiles, la robotique sociale, les
technologies d'assistance à la personne, l'apprentissage des langues,
etc. Cependant, le TALP pose des problèmes spécifiques liés à la nature
même du matériau traité.  En effet, on est amené à traiter des énoncés
de parole plus ou moins spontanée et contenant de nombreux traits
paralinguistiques. Par exemple, la présence de disfluences orales
(répétitions, reprises, incises...) réduit la régularité syntaxique des
énoncés ; les énoncés oraux sont également riches d'informations liés
aux affects, etc. Par ailleurs, l'étape de transcription automatique,
souvent nécessaire avant l'application de traitements de plus haut
niveau (compréhension, traduction, analyse, etc.) rend des sorties
bruitées (contenant des erreurs) qui nécessitent des analyses robustes
et un couplage étroit entre étapes de traitement.
             

Nous invitons donc les contributions portant sur tout aspect
(théorique, méthodologique et pratique) relatif au traitement
automatique du langage parlé et à la communication orale, et en
particulier (liste non exclusive) : 

- Reconnaissance automatique de la parole 
- Compréhension automatique de la parole
- Traduction de parole
- Synthèse de la parole
- Dialogue oral homme - machine 
- Analyse robuste de la langue parlée
- Analyse des affects sociaux ou des émotions dans des énoncés oraux
- Fouille de documents à composante orale
- Applications à composantes orales (recherche d'information,
  interaction, robotique, etc)
- Outils d'aide à l'apprentissage d’une langue seconde
- Aspects multilingues du traitement automatique du langage parlé
- Evaluation de systèmes de traitement du langage parlé
- Corpus et ressources pour l'oral
- Analyse du discours oral
- Dialogue adaptatif au contexte et au profil de l'utilisateur
- Analyse des traits paralinguistiques dans des énoncés oraux

==========CFP IN ENGLISH============

Special issue on spoken language processing

Guest editors: Laurent Besacier, Wolfgang Minker

 
Speech is the most natural way to communicate and interact (with the
machine or with another person) . Spoken language processing and
dialogue have now many direct applications in various areas such as (but
not limited to) information retrieval, natural language interaction with
mobile devices, social robotics, assistive technologies, technologies
for language learning, etc. .  However, spoken language processing poses
specific problems related to the nature of the speech material
itself. Indeed, spontaneous speech utterances have to be processed and
they contain many paralinguistic features. For instance, disfluencies
(repetitions , false starts, etc.) reduces the syntactic regularity of
utterances.  Moreover, spontaneous utterances convey rich information
related to emotions , etc. Furthermore, automatic speech recognition
(ASR) step, often required before the application of higher level
processing (understanding , translation, analysis, etc.), produces noisy
outputs (with errors ) which require robust and tight coupling between
modules.

We invite contributions on any aspect (theoretical, methodological and
practical) of spoken language processing and oral communication ; in
particular (non-exclusive list):

- Automatic speech recognition
- Spoken language understanding
- Speech translation
- Text-to-Speech synthesis
- Man-machine dialogue
- Robust analysis of spoken language
- Analysis of social affects or emotions in spontaneous speech
- Mining spoken language documents
- Spoken language applications (mobile interaction, robotics, etc. )
- Technologies for language learning
- Multilingual aspects of spoken language processing
- Evaluation for spoken language processing
- Corpora and resources for spoken language
- (Spoken) discourse analysis
- Adaptive dialogue (context, user profile)
- Analysis of paralinguistic features in spoken language


IMPORTANT DATES

- call : march 2014
- submission of contributions : 30 june 2014 (possibility to update
  paper until July 15th)
- first authors notification : 15 september 2014 
- publication : end 2014 / begin 2015

Submission format

LANGUAGE
Manuscripts may be submitted in English or French. French-speaking
authors are requested to submit their contributions in French.

Cher collègues, 

Vous trouverez ci-dessous le message de Michael Barr diffusé sur la
liste de théorie des catégories, qui nous fait part de la disparition de
Jim Lambek lundi 23 juin, à l'âge de 91 ans.

Pour ceux qui ne sont pas familiers de ses travaux, 
qui concernent les mathématiques, la logique, la linguistique et la
physique: 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_Lambek
 Michael Barr barr at math.mcgill.ca
 2014-06-24 01:55:48 GMT
 I regret to inform you all that Jim died this afternoon.  His son says
 it was congestive heart failure which is as good a way as any to
 describe dying of old age.  He was still coming to seminar last fall
 and celebrated his 91st birthday in December in pretty good shape, but
 has been gradually going downhill since.  I don't believe he came to
 the office since late fall.  He had a good run.

En ce qui concerne la linguistique informatique, il est surtout connu
pour "the mathematics of sentence structure" (1958) qui établit un lien
profond entre grammaire formelle et logique, les grammaires
catégorielles, les grammaires de types logiques. Depuis la fin des
années 90, il travaillait sur les grammaires de prégroupes.

De nombreuses personnes ont travaillé sur le calculd e Lambek: 
J-P Desclés, M. Eytan, A. Lecomte, et plus récemment les équipes comme
Calli/Sémagramme au LORIA, Signes à Bordeaux, LALLIC à Paris 4, et bien
sûr les gens de Montréal.

D'autres, comme Alain Lecomte ou François Lamarche, sont sans
probablement tout autant habilités que je le suis à publier cette
annonce. J'avais fait sa connaissance en 1988 à un congrès de logique
catégorique à l'unviersité Paris 7, puis à Urbino, nous l'avions invité
aux conférences LACL.
En 2001 l'avais invité à un workshop sur l'apprentissage des grammaires
catégorielles à Nantes où il s'était cassé le bras, et depuis il
hésitait à traverser l'océan pour nous rendre visite (il avait envoyé
son rapport sur mon habilitation, mais avait décliné l'invitation).

Un livre d'hommages est sorti pour son 90e anniversaire, 
http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-642-54789-8
et son dernier ouvrage vient de paraître: 
https://www.novapublishers.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=48156&osCsid=4ae8245ae55e45a5746d463e8be4f53d

Il était très actif jusqu'à l'automne dernier, et d'après ce qu'a dit
son fils, il s'est éteint en paix, entouré des siens.

Workshop TOTh 2014
------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://porphyre.org/workshop-toth/2014-en

The 2014 TOTh Workshop is organised by the Royal Museums of Art and
History of Brussels within the scope of the European Project
AthenaPlus (www.athenaplus.eu)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Multilingual Thesaurus and Terminology
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brussels - December 5th 2014
The Cinquantenaire Museum
Parc du Cinquantenaire 10


The ever-increasing amount of open data and linked data raises questions
concerning its access in a multilingual context. Due to the diversity of
the collections, of the institutions that manage them, of the public
that has access to them and of the technologies currently available, it
is necessary to rethink the notions of thesaurus and terminology, as
well as the ways to manage and access these collections.

Some of the topics that will be covered by the TOTh 2014 Workshop
include (this list is not exhaustive):

Principles, Theories and Methods: Thesauri, Terminology, Ontology,
Controlled Vocabulary, Semantic Network;
Embracing and Managing Multilingualism;
Mapping, Alignment and Harmonisation of terminologies, thesauri,
  ontologies;
Indexing and Research;
The compatibility of the ISO and W3C Standards concerning terminology,
thesauri, knowledge systems and interchange format;
Impact and contributions from new domains and technologies connected
to Knowledge Engineering and the Semantic Web;
Software Environments.
Special attention will be given to the issue of cultural content
  management.


Submission: Abstracts of one or two pages must be sent to:
workshop-toth at porphyre.org

Official languages: English and French

Deadline for submission: September 30th 2014

Information: Eva Coudyzer e.coudyzer at kmkg-mrah.be

Le projet Sénélangues, financé par l’Agence Nationale de la Recherche
française, a réuni pendant quatre ans des linguistes des laboratoires
LLACAN et DDL du CNRS dans une collaboration avec l’Université Cheikh
Anta Diop de Dakar autour d’un ambitieux projet de description et de
documentation des langues du Sénégal
(http://senelangues.huma-num.fr/). Dans la continuité de cette
collaboration scientifique, les membres de Sénélangues organisent en
avril 2015 un double événement, Sénélangues 2015, qui articulera un
colloque sur la description des langues d’Afrique de l’ouest avec une
école thématique sur le même thème. Le colloque Sénélangues 2015-
Langues d’Afrique de l’ouest se tiendra les 24 et 25 avril à
l’Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar.

Thématique du colloque
Stimulée par divers projets collaboratifs soutenus par différentes
agences ou fondations, la description des langues d’Afrique a pu
bénéficier, au cours des dernières décennies, des développements récents
des bonnes pratiques et des ressources informatiques en matière
d’analyse linguistique, typologique et documentaire. En ouvrant la
problématique de la description linguistique à toute l’Afrique de
l’ouest, l’objectif de ce colloque est de permettre aux linguistes qui
travaillent sur les langues de cette région de se rencontrer pour faire
le point sur leurs avancées scientifiques, partager leurs connaissances,
leur savoir-faire et leurs interrogations, et d’accroître ainsi les
connaissances sur les langues de cette région.  Les contributions
attendues doivent porter sur des langues vernaculaires d’Afrique de
l’ouest (créoles inclus), sans exclure toutefois la description des
phénomènes de contact avec des langues d’autres familles. Tous les
niveaux de l’analyse linguistique (phonologie, morphologie, syntaxe,
sémantique, énonciation et pragmatique) pourront être abordés.

Conférences plénières
Denis Creissels, Université Lumière Lyon 2
Felix Ameka, Universitéde Leiden

Modalités de soumission des communications

Colloquium Senelangues 2015  West African Languages
Call for Papers
English Version

First Call for Abstracts

Colloquium Senelangues 2015  West African Languages
24-25 April 2015
Dakar, Senegal
Deadline for submission: 15 November 2014

web site: http://senelangues2015.ucad.sn/
contact:  senelangues2015call at gmail.com

The Sénélangues project (http://senelangues.huma-num.fr/), which aimed
at the description and documentation of the languages of Senegal, was
financed by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche française for a period
of 4 years, involving linguists from the CNRS laboratories LLACAN and
DDL in collaboration with the University Cheikh Anta Diop of Dakar. This
scientific collaboration continues with the organisation of a double
event, Sénélangues 2015, which consists of a Colloquium on the
description of West African languages, and a thematic school with the
same topic. The Colloque Sénélangues 2015 Langues d’Afrique de l’Ouest
will take place on 24 and 25 April 2015 at the Cheikh Anta Diop
University of Dakar.

Topics of the colloquium
In the last decades, the description of African languages benefited a
lot from the recent developments of good practices in the areas of
information technology and of linguistic analysis including typology and
language documentation.  These developments have been stimulated by
various collaborative projects and funding schemes. The aim of the
Colloquium is to gather linguists working in West Africa so that they
can share each other’s scientific results, insights, know-how and
research questions in order to increase our understanding of the
languages of the region. We welcome contributions on the analysis of
West African languages including Creole languages, as well as on
phenomena of language contact with other language families.
Contributions in all sub-disciplines of linguistic analysis are welcome,
including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics.

Plenary speakers
Denis Creissels, University of Lyon 2
Felix Ameka, Universityof Leiden

How to submit a contribution
Contributions can either be in the form of an oral presentation of 20
minutes + 10 minutes discussion or in the form of a poster presentation

O projecto Sénélangues, financiado pela Agência Nacional [Francesa] para
a Pesquisa, reuniu durante quarto anos, linguistas das unidades de
pesquisa LLACAN e DDL do CNRS [Centro Nacional [Francês] de Pesquisa
Científica] em parceria com a Universidade Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar no
âmbito dum ambicioso projecto de descrição e documentação das línguas de
Senegal (http://senelangues.huma-num.fr/). Na continuidade desta
colaboração científica, os membros de Sénélangues decidiram organizar em
Abril de 2015 um duplo evento, Sénélangues 2015, que combinará uma
conferência sobre a descrição das línguas da África Ocidental com um
minicurso dedicado ao mesmo tema. A conferência Sénélangues 2015 Línguas
da África Ocidental terá lugar a 24 e 25 de Abril na Universidade Cheikh
Anta Diop de Dakar.

Temática da conferência
Graças ao estímulo de vários projectos colaborativos apoiados por
diversas agências ou fundações, a descrição das línguas africanas tem
vindo a beneficiar, ao longo das últimas décadas, dos desenvolvimentos
recentes das boas práticas e dos recursos informáticos no que tange aos
processos de análise de cariz linguístico, tipológico e documental. Ao
abrir a problemática da descrição linguística ao conjunto da África
Ocidental, esta conferência tem como objectivo permeter aos linguistas
que trabalham sobre as línguas dessa área encontrarem-se para fazer o
balanço dos seus avances científicos, compartilharem os seus respectivos
conhecimentos, as suas experiências e dúvidas, assim como favorecer o
aumento dos conhecimentos globais disponíveis sobre as línguas da África
Ocidental.  Esperamos contribuições que tratem das línguas vernáculas da
África Ocidental (inclusive os crioulos) e também estamos interessados
na descriç?ão dos fenómenos de contactos que se produzem entre estas
línguas e idomas de outras familhas. Todos os níveis da análise
linguística (fonologia, morfologia, sintaxe, semântica, enunciação e
pragmática) serão contemplados.

for researchers to share and discuss their ongoing work.

We invite submissions on topics that include, but are not limited to,
the following:

* Basic core technologies: morphological analysis, disambiguation,
tokenization, POS tagging, named entity detection, chunking, parsing,
semantic role labeling, sentiment analysis, Arabic dialect modeling,
etc.

* Applications: machine translation, speech recognition, speech
synthesis, optical character recognition, pedagogy, assistive
technologies, social media, etc.

* Resources: dictionaries, annotated data, specialized databases etc.

Submissions may include work in progress as well as finished work.
Submissions must have a clear focus on specific issues pertaining to the
Arabic language whether it is standard Arabic, dialectal, or
mixed. Descriptions of commercial systems are welcome, but authors
should be willing to discuss the details of their work. Submissions are
expected to be 8 pages long plus 2 pages for references.  Associated
with the workshop will be a shared task on Arabic text error correction
(see link to Shared Task Website above).

Subject: Soft: Glozz 2.0 (plate-forme d'annotation)
Message-ID: <TUE.8.JUL.2014.174555.0200.HAMON@LIMSI.FR>

Chers collègues,

Nous avons le plaisir de vous annoncer la mise en ligne de la version
2.0.1-beta4 de la plate-forme d'annotation Glozz.

Les principales nouveautés sont repertoriées ci-dessous. Soulignons
notamment son passage prochain à l'open-source, et sa nouvelle
architecture permettant l'ajout de plug-ins (pouvant être développés par
la communauté des utilisateurs).

1) Passage prochain en open source (licence en cours d'établissement).

2) Mécanisme de plug-ins permettant le développement d'extensions au
   logiciel sans modifier son noyau. Quiconque peut ainsi développer ses
   propres plug-ins, et éventuellement les diffuser, en limitant les
   risques d'incompatibilité. Nous encourageons les développeurs
   intéressés à privilégier la création de plug-ins plutôt que de
   modifier directement le noyau (quand cela sera possible). Nous
   répondrons avec plaisir aux demandes de précisions concernant ces
   aspects.

3) Nouveau plug-in "Concordancer" offrant une vue de type
   concordancier. Cette vue synthétique permet de consulter rapidement
   des unités annotées dans leur contexte, contexte composé de texte
   mais aussi éventuellement d'autres objets annotés. Un manuel dédié
   est disponible sur www.glozz.org

4) Généralisation du principe du "Basket" à toute l'application et aux
   plug-ins. Il permet ainsi de stocker des annotations spécifiquement
   choisies (à la main, en sortie d'une requête GlozzQL ou via le
   concordancier), afin de mieux le observer, de les enregistrer dans un
   fichier spécifique, ou encore de leur affecter automatiquement un
   couple attribut-valeur. Se reporter au manuel dédié sur www.glozz.org

5) Raccourcis clavier paramétrables (Options/Préférences/Shortcuts)
   permettant d'annoter rapidement une portion de texte sélectionné avec
   une unité dont le type et les attributs-valeurs sont indiqués pour un
   raccourci donné. Par exemple, une fois un segment de texte
   sélectionné à la souris, la touche "F1" pourra créer une unité de
   type "Nom", avec le trait "genre" à la valeur "masculin" et le trait
   nombre à la valeur "singulier", tandis que "F2" pourra être utilisé
   pour un nom féminin singulier. Ces raccourcis peuvent être
   sauvergardés et transmis à d'autres utilisateurs, si bien que le
   responsable de campagne peut délivrer une configuration prête à
   l'emploi pour tous ses annotateurs.

6) Nouveaux export et import CSV, pour un emploi dans un tableur, et une
   éventuelle passerelle vers d'autres applications, en entrée ou en
   sortie de Glozz.

7) Ajout d'une contrainte "Same Position" dans GlozzQL, qui concerne les
   Units et indique si deux unités sont situées exactement au même
   endroit dans le texte. Cela peut notamment être utile dans le cas où
   il y a plusieurs couches d'annotation indépendantes, et que l'on
   souhaite voir s'il existe des superpositions d'unités entre ces
   couches.

8) Interface graphique remaniée. Notamment, utilisation d'onglets pour
   les différents outils rarement utilisés simultanément.

9) Export SQL corrigé et amélioré.


Vous pourrez récupérer une archive au format TGZ à l'adresse :
http://www.glozz.org

L'archive contient notamment :
	- le JAR de l'application (glozz-platform.jar) ;
	- le plugin concordancer
          (plugins/concordancer/glozz-concordancer-plugin.jar) ;
	- différents fichiers de test (répertoire data/) ;
	- un changelog (CHANGELOG.utf8) indiquant les principales
          évolutions de cette version et des précédentes ;
	- un script de lancement destiné aux utilisateurs de Windows
          rencontrant des difficultés lors de l'utilisation directe des
          JARs (StartGlozz.bat) ;
	- la licence (licence.pdf).

Nous vous rappelons que Glozz dispose de manuels, accessibles sur
www.glozz.org, qui présentent de manière détaillée et illustrée la
plupart des fonctionnalités disponibles.

N'hésitez pas à nous faire part de vos remarques et suggestions
concernant la plate-forme ou son manuel.


Bien cordialement,
Yann Mathet et Antoine Widlöcher

3 PhD Positions in Speech Processing at LIG/Grenoble (France)

The Study Group for Machine Translation and Automated Processing of
Languages and Speech (GETALP) of LIG (Laboratory of Informatics of
Grenoble) offers 3 PhD Positions in Speech Processing. We are looking
for outstanding young research scientists to join the group on several
projects involving speech processing.

Opened Positions

1.  PhD / Automatic speech recognition and machine assisted speech
    annotation for African Languages

You will work in the context of the ALFFA project which is really
interdisciplinary since it not only gathers technology experts (LIG,
LIA, VOXYGEN) but also includes fieldwork linguists/phoneticians
(DDL). The PhD will focus on analysing the capabilities of existing
automatic speech processing systems to investigate phonetic
characteristics of languages or annotate speech (especially on mobile
devices: tablets, glasses, etc) to provide an innovative digital
assistant to the fieldwork linguist.

Start : Fall 2014

Duration : 36 months

Particular aspect : co-supervision with DDL lab in Lyon

Contact : Laurent.Besacier at imag.fr & Francois.Pellegrino at univ-lyon2.fr

Project Web Site : http://alffa.imag.fr

Team/Lab Web Sites : http://getalp.imag.fr
   http://www.ddl.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr



2.  PhD / Speech interaction for socio-affective ubiquitous agents and
    robots in ambient assisted living environments

You will work on a research and development project (CASSIE) involving
academic and industrial stakeholders of spoken dialog, assistive
technologies, affectives sciences and social robotics. The PhD objective
is to design a spoken dialogue system that will interact with a user in
her/his home through an ubiquitous (physical and/or virtual) and
personalized agent. This dialogue system will be corpus based, with
iterative machine learning approach hydride with boostrap expert
knowledge (observed from “intelligent” annotations) from spontaneous and
ecological data collected in real or quasi-real environment (Smart Home)
and situation (real scenario). The system will focus on the
socio-affective dimensions of the interaction (socio-affective prosody,
paralinguistic events, imitation, synchrony etc), especially the
dynamics (timing) of the dialog… One aspect of this PhD will also focus
on the comparison of the same character implemented in robot versus
virtual agent for interaction (epathy aspects, etc.).

Start : Fall 2014

Duration : 36 months

Contact : Veronique.Auberge at imag.fr & Benjamin.Lecouteux at imag.fr (+
Laurent.Besacier at imag.fr)



3. PhD / Context-aware spoken dialogue in ambient assisted living
   environments

You will work on a research and development project (CASSIE) involving
academic and industrial stakeholders of spoken dialog, assistive
technologies and social robotics. The PhD objective is to make a social
cyber-physical agent "aware" of its environment by sensors and/or
connected objects. This contextual information will drive the system
interaction (natural language understanding and dialog). The heart of
the research will be to build probabilistic and logical models for
multimodal situation analysis and understanding in a domestic and
multilingual context. For the experimental development and validation,
the research will benefit from the fully-equipped LIG smart home
(DOMUS).

Start : Fall 2014

Duration : 36 months (PhD)

Contact : Francois.Portet at imag.fr & Michel.Vacher at imag.fr

Profiles The applicants must hold a Master degree in Computational
Linguistics, Computing sciences or Cognitive Sciences preferably with
experience in the fields of speech processing and/or natural language
processing and/or machine learning. Good background in programming will
also be required.
He/she will also be involved in experimenting the technology with human
participants being either French or English speakers. For this reason
good English level is required as well as a good command of
French. Finally effective communication skills in English, both written
and verbal are mandatory.

Location Grenoble is a high-tech city with 4 universities. It is located
at the heart of the Alps, in outstanding scientific and natural
surroundings.  It is 3h by train from Paris ; 2h from Geneva ; 1h from
Lyon ; 2h from Torino and is less than 1h from Lyon international
airport.

Ecole thématique
«Description des langues d’Afrique de l’Ouest»

<http://senelangues2015.ucad.sn>http://senelangues2015.ucad.sn

L’école thématique «Description des langues d’Afrique de l’Ouest» se
tiendra à l’Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar (Sénégal), du 20 avril
au 1er mai 2015.

Elle est organisée par les laboratoires LLACAN et DDL du CNRS en
partenariat avec l’Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar, dans la
continuité du projet ANR Sénélangues (http://senelangues.huma-num.fr/).

Les objectifs de cette école sont de profiter des acquis du projet
Sénélangues pour transmettre les dernières avancées théoriques,
méthodologiques et technologiques en matière de description de langues à
tradition orale et délivrer une formation axée essentiellement sur des
langues parlées en Afrique de l’Ouest (langues atlantiques, langues
mandé, créoles, mais aussi français d’Afrique). La perspective de
travail sera avant tout descriptive et typologique. Cette formation de
deux semaines, qui entend compléter les formations de Master et de
Doctorat existantes, doit permettre aux stagiaires d’avoir une vue
d’ensemble des différents enjeux scientifiques et cadres d’analyses
existants, des diverses tâches à entreprendre, ainsi que des méthodes et
outils à disposition lorsque l’on se lance dans la description d’une
langue parlée en Afrique de l’Ouest. Elle doit également leur donner une
première initiation à la pratique de terrain.

L’école thématique s’étendra sur deux plages de quatre jours chacune
(semaine 1: 20-23 avril 2015; semaine 2: 28 avril 1er mai 2015), entre
lesquelles sera inséré un colloque international sur la description des
langues de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (24-25 avril 2014).

Contenu des enseignements
La formation représente un volume total de 53h d’enseignement. Tous les
cours sont obligatoires.  Ils seront dispensés en français, la plupart
sous forme de cours magistraux, complétés par plusieurs séances de
travaux dirigés (organisées en sous-groupes) pour permettre
l’entraînement, en conditions d’enquête de terrain, à l’analyse
morphosyntaxique, à la perception et à la transcription des tons, ou
encore l’utilisation des logiciels de traitement.

La formation est articulée autour de 3 axes correspondant (1) aux
connaissances de base en linguistique générale et aux particularités
structurelles des langues africaines, (2) aux spécificités de la
pratique de linguistique de terrain et (3) aux outils, techniques et
méthodes d’exploitation des données de terrain. Un accent particulier
sera donné aux langues de la famille atlantique, mais des spécialistes
de langues mandé, de créoles à base portugaise et du français d’Afrique
compléteront la formation.

Apologies for cross-posting,

Submissions are invited for a special session on "Intelligent and
Evolutionary Systems for Natural Language Processing" of the 18th Asia
Pacific Symposium on Intelligent and Evolutionary Systems (IES'14), to
be held from 10th to 12th November 2014 in Singapore.

RATIONALE
As the Web rapidly evolves, Web users and Web contents are evolving with
it. In an era of social connectedness, people are becoming increasingly
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 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.

To this end, biologically and linguistically motivated computational
paradigms that go beyond syntax are needed. Intelligent and evolutionary
systems potentially have a large future possibility to play an important
role in natural language processing (NLP) research for tasks such as
grammatical evolution, knowledge discovery, and rule learning. In this
light, this Special Session focuses on the introduction, presentation,
and discussion of novel NLP systems that are not merely based on
domain-dependent corpora or word co-occurrence counts, but rather
systems that can be considered intelligent and evolutionary.  The main
motivation for the Special Session, in particular, is to go beyond a
mere word-level analysis of text and provide novel concept-level
approaches to natural language processing that allow a more efficient
passage from (unstructured) textual information to (structured)
machine-processable data, in potentially any domain.

Articles are thus invited in areas such as AI, Semantic Web,
knowledge-based systems, machine learning, and computational
intelligence for NLP research.
Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for information extraction and
  retrieval
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for text summarization and
  visualization
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for topic modeling
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for sentiment analysis
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for knowledge acquisition
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for social network analysis
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for adaptive and transfer
  learning
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for agents and complex systems
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for evolutionary game theory
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for bioinformatics

The Special Session also welcomes papers on specific application domains
of natural language procesing, e.g., social data mining, influence
networks, customer experience management, computer mediated human-human
communication, social media marketing, multimedia management,
personalization and persuasion, enterprise feedback management,
human-agent, -computer and -robot interaction, intelligent user
interfaces, patient opinion mining, surveillance, art. The authors will
be required to follow the Author's Guide for manuscript submission to
the 18th Asia Pacific Symposium on Intelligent and Evolutionary Systems
(http://ies-2014.org/submission.html).

TIMEFRAME
Submission Deadline: August 1st, 2014

Jouez (et faites jouer) à Zombilingo : 
http://zombilingo.loria.fr/ 

Zombilingo est un jeu ayant un but (ou Game With A Purpose) permettant
d’annoter des corpus en syntaxe de dépendances. 
Les annotations créées sont librement disponibles sur le site du jeu. 

La production de ressources linguistiques de grande taille est très
coûteuse, en particulier en main d’œuvre. Ainsi, le coût d’annotation du
Prague Dependency Treebank a été estimé à 600 000 dollars (Böhmová et
al., 2001). Une alternative pour produire des ressources est
l’utilisation de la myriadisation (crowdsourcing), c’est-à-dire le
recours à la "foule" pour réaliser une tâche. Les jeux ayant un but, par
exemple, ont été utilisés pour différentes tâches en TAL : JeuxDeMots
(Lafourcade, 2007) a pour but de créer un réseau lexical ; Phrase
Detectives (Chamberlain et al., 2008) fait annoter un corpus en
anaphores. Ces deux jeux ont eu un succès considérable et ont permis de
créer des ressources de qualité raisonnable pour un coût réduit. Le
premier fait appel au sens commun et le deuxième à des connaissances
scolaires. Dans d’autres domaines, il a été possible d’utiliser un jeu
pour des tâches nettement plus complexes et qui nécessitent une
formation des personnes qui participent. Ainsi, dans FoldIt (Cooper et
al., 2010) les joueurs doivent manipuler des représentations 3D de
protéines pour étudier la façon dont elle peuvent interagir. Zombilingo
est inspiré de ces succès et a pour but de faire réaliser à des joueurs
une tâche de TAL réputée complexe : annoter des dépendances syntaxiques.

2nd call for Abstracts
________________________________
*(Apologies if you received multiple copies. Please, distribute it among
potentially interested colleagues.)*
Translating and the Computer – 36, London, 27/28 November 2014

Translating and the Computer attracts a unique amalgam of researchers,
developers and users. It brings together academics involved in language
technology research and in teaching translation and terminology with
those who develop and market tools for language transformation and both
of these groups with users: translators, terminologists, interpreters,
and voice-over specialists, whether freelancers or working in
translation departments of large organisations such as those of the
European Parliament, European courts and the European Patent Office, the
United Nations family, international companies and other organisations,
and Language Services Providers (LSPs), large and small.

First the Computer, then the Internet and more recently the Cloud, are
changing and remodelling expectations and processes in the Language and
Localization industries. These changes are accompanied by new
requirements for standards and interoperability. The digital age is
modifying the concept of text and quality. Content is a key item
together with strings, chunks, segments and words.

In its 36th session Translating and the Computer has moved from ASLIB to
ASLING. The conference often referred to as the “ASLIB Conference” is
now the ASLING Translating and the Computer Conference.

ASLING is working hard to ensure that this conference remains a key date
in your calendar to help you keep in touch. To do this we need the
support and contributions of all those who are interested in sharing
their knowledge and ideas on the latest developments in an extremely
stimulating sector, and equally interested in hearing other
contributions. If you, or one of your colleagues, have something
important to announce or discuss, we urge you to consider presenting a
paper at this conference.

Abstracts must be submitted using the START system at the following
address:https://www.softconf.com/e/tc2014 .


The deadline for submissions is extended to July 14th; authors will be
notified of acceptance by August 7th.


For further details of the Call for Abstracts, please see Call for
Abstracts at:http://www.translatingandthecomputer.com . For any other

Postdoc position available at GREYC - University of Caen Basse-Normandie
- France

Event prediction for dialogue modelling in embodied conversational agent

Location: Caen (France)
Duration: 15 months (potentially 18 months)
Keywords: sequence mining, knowledge discovery, event prediction, 
dialogue modelling

Description of the task:

Designing a model of dialogue is a difficult and often multidisciplinary
task. Whether it is dedicated to interactive storytelling or not, it
involves many algorithms: multi-modal input recognition (utterances,
gestures, gazes, vocal inflections), natural language understanding and
generation, dialogue management, planning and cognitive capacities,
emotion modelling, prosodic speech generation, non-verbal behavior.

In this context, the post-doc fellow’s research will focus on designing
algorithms for modelling the interactions (turn of speech) during the
conversation, starting from real data gathered during dialogues between
adult (or Wizard of Oz) and child, that are annotated by
psychologists. This task can be viewed as predicting a particular event
in a sequence of itemsets. The model of the dialogue will be implemented
in an embodied conversational agent.

Application:
The candidate must prepare a detailed CV including a complete
bibliography, a motivation letter and recommendation letters as a single
pdf file. This file should be sent by email to the contact below. French
people may apply using French language.

Aujourd'hui, au vingt et unième siècle, la linguistique appliquée est
une discipline riche qui se décline en de multiples domaines, par
ailleurs liés aux traditions scientifiques des divers pays dans lesquels
elle s'est développée: acquisition / apprentissage, bi- /
plurilinguisme, didactique des langues, lexicographie, linguistique de
corpus, terminologie, traductologie, traitement automatique des langues,
variation linguistique. Pourtant, les terrains de recherche de ces
disciplines ou domaines sont souvent communs. On le voit dans ce que
recouvrent les dénominations dans d'autres langues, comme /applied
linguistics/ en anglais, /angewandte Linguistik/ en allemand ou
/Lingüística aplicada/en espagnol. Le vingt et unième siècle est celui
de la transdisciplinarité et de la pluridisciplinarité, comme le montre
l'émergence de nombreux domaines pluri- ou transdisciplinaires,
combinant sciences humaines et sciences exactes par exemple. La
linguistique appliquée, par les terrains de recherche qu'elle parcourt,
accompagne le développement incontournable de cette pluridisciplinarité.
Ce faisant, elle démontre qu'elle ne consiste pas en la seule
application de connaissances théoriques mais qu'elle permet l'émergence
de nouveaux champs d'investigation qui viennent alimenter la réflexion
en sciences du langage.

L'objectif du colloque international /TRELA/, qui s'inscrit dans la
suite de la réflexion engagée lors du colloque CRELA à Nancy en 2013,
est de permettre aux chercheurs et autres acteurs des différents
domaines de la linguistique appliquée de se rencontrer sur des enjeux de
recherche partagés, amenant ainsi à offrir un éclairage
pluridisciplinaire ou transdisciplinaire sur des problématiques
croisées. Dans cette perspective sont attendues des communications
portant sur l'un des cinq axes suivants :

- Notion de « terrain » en linguistique appliquée (analyse multicritères
  de terrains spécifiques, analyse comparative de terrains)

- Linguistique appliquée et sciences du langage: où situer le terrain ?
  Les terrains se croisent-ils ?

- Modélisation et approches théoriques multiples (combiner plusieurs
  approches pour étudier le même terrain)

- Ressources, outils et méthodologies d'approche du terrain

- Linguistique appliquée et linguistique théorique : comment construire
  la complémentarité ? Interrogations épistémologiques face à une
  complémentarité évidente ?

- Croisements entre linguistique appliquée et traductologie: une
  approche hybride?

Echéance : 15 octobre 2014

Notification : 20 janvier 2015


======================English CFP=======================

*Paris 8-10 July 2015*

Applied Linguistics in the 21^st Century is a rich and varied
discipline, with many sub-domains. Each of these has its own research
tradition, often associated with the particular countries in which it
developed: language acquisition / learning, bi- and multi-lingualism,
didactics, lexicography, corpus linguistics, terminology, translation
studies, computational linguistics, variation, etc. However, these
disciplines often share similar research fields. A prime example of this
to look at the areas covered by the term /Applied Linguistics /and its
equivalents /linguistique appliquée/, /angewandte Linguistik/,
/Lingüística aplicada/ in their respective languages.

Transdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity are trademarks of the 21^st
Century, as can be seen in the emergence of so many multi- or
transdisciplinary fields, including examples which combine 'humanities'
and 'pure sciences'. Applied Linguistics, because of the variety of
fields which it is involved in, has followed the inexorable development
of this process of hybridization. Furthermore, the practice of Applied
Linguistics has come to involve not only the application of theoretical
knowledge, but also the emergence of new fields of investigation, which
then feed back into current debates within the language sciences.

The aim of the international conference TRELA is to follow up on the
CRELA conference in Nancy 2013, and to allow researchers and other
practitioners in the different fields of Applied Linguistics to discuss
and debate issues relating to common areas of research, pooling ideas on
these topics from a multidisciplinary or transdisciplinary perspective.
To this end, we invite submissions on any of the following areas:

- The notion of 'area' or 'field' in Applied Linguistics (multicritieral
  analysis in specific areas, comparative analysis of different fields,
  etc.)

- Applied Linguistics and Linguistics:Are they two distinct'areas' or a
  single 'field' or can they not be divided?

- Models and multiple-theory approaches (combining several approaches to
  explore the same area)

- Resources, tools and methodologies to explore an 'area' (or conduct
  'field' work).

- Applied Linguistics and Theoretical Linguistics: building a
  complementary approach? And what are the epistemological issues raised
  by obvious complementary?

Deadline for proposals: 15 October 2014

Notification: 20 January 2015

Dans le cadre du projet ANR Asfalda, nous proposons un contrat
post-doctoral pour travailler avec le partenaire IRIT du projet, à
l'Université Paul Sabatier (Toulouse).
Le projet Asfalda a pour objectif de développer un corpus annoté
sémantiquement, et des outils de traitement automatique pour l'analyse
sémantique, utilisant les corpus constitués durant le projet. Les
annotations sémantiques s'appuient sur le standard FrameNet.
Framenet définit un ensemble de cadres sémantiques, des situations
prototypiques et la caractérisation de leurs participants. Les cadres
sont reliés entre eux dans une structure hiérarchique enrichie par des
liens sémantiques de natures diverses.  L'objectif du post-doc est
d'enrichir cette structure, qui est pour l'instant peu dense. Les
relations entre frames ainsi créées sont utiles pour l'analyse
discursive, et pour compléter les annotations sémantiques de structures
de cadres partiellement connectées en contexte. Ceci se fera en deux
temps: premièrement en se concentrant sur des liens typiques entre types
de lemmes impliqués dans les cadres considérés, à partir d'approches non
supervisées sur corpus, deuxièmement en désambiguisant les lemmes reliés
pour identifier simultanément les frames reliés dans leurs contextes
d'apparition, ainsi que les liens entre leurs participants.  Cette étape
s'appuiera sur les outils d'annotation développés dans les autres tâches
du projet, et les données annotées collectées.

Nous recherchons des candidats avec des compétences en Traitement
Automatique des Langues, en apprentissage automatique, et idéalement une
expertise sur les thématiques du projet.


Mots-clefs: semantic role labelling, analyse du discours, sémantique
lexicale

Coordinateur du projet: Marie Candito, Alpage, Univ Paris Diderot &
INRIA https://sites.google.com/site/anrasfalda/

Nous accepterons les candidatures jusqu'au 31 aout 2014.

Période: 1 an, démarrage 1er octobre 2014.

Salaire brut: 3413€/mois (~ 2730 net)

Objectifs de la formation

Le master PRISME est une formation de niveau Bac+5 qui forme des
professionnels de la veille et de l'analyse de l'information
stratégique. À l'issue de la formation, les étudiants sont aptes à
analyser les besoins des organisations (entreprise, établissement
public, collectivité locale...) en terme de veille stratégique
(accès,collecte, traitement et communication de l'information). Ils
peuvent ainsi réaliser l'audit d'un dispositif de veille, concevoir et
mettre en place un dispositif de veille automatisé, réaliser des
produits et services d'information électronique et animer une
communautés de veilleurs.

La formation fournit aux étudiants les compétences conceptuelles, 
méthodologiques, techniques et pratiques permettant d'assurer la 
responsabilité de projets de veille et d'analyse de l'information dans 
différents domaines : veille commerciale et marketing, veille 
réglementaire, veille documentaire, veille d'image et de e-réputation, 
veille concurrentielle...

Entreprises partenaires

La formation s'appuie sur un réseau de partenaires du monde de
l'industrie de l'information qui participent à la formation : des
éditeurs de logiciels (AMI Software, KB Crawl, TEMIS, Web Site
Watcher...), des agrégateurs de presse et de contenu (Europresse), des
spécialistes de la veille et du /knowledge management/ (Histen Riller,
la CCIR Nord Pas de Calais, Kurt Salmon, OTO Research...), le GFII
(Groupement français de l'industrie de l'information) ainsi qu'un
ensemble d'organismes accueillant des stagiaires (Cofidis, CCIR Nord Pas
de Calais, Pas de Calais Habitat, SNCF, LVMH, Norauto, Decathlon,
Carrefour, Lesaffre, Pierre Fabre, BNP Paribas...).

Modalités de formation

La formation est accessible en formation initiale, en alternance 
(contrat de professionnalisation) et en VAE (Validation des Acquis 
d'Expérience).

Chers collègues,

j'ai le plaisir de vous annoncé que j'ai soutenu ma thèse intitulée
"Sémantique des temps du français: une formalisation compositionnelle"
le 23 juin dernier au LaBRI. Le manuscrit peut être consulté à l'adresse
suivante: https://sites.google.com/site/nlplefeuvreanais/home/manuscrit

Résumé:

Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le cadre du projet Région Aquitaine - INRIA :
ITIPY. Ce projet vise l’extraction automatique d’itinéraires à partir de
récits de voyage en milieu pyrénéen du XIXème et du début du XXème
siècle. Notre premier travail fut de caractériser le corpus comme
échantillon du français, par une étude contrastive d’une part de données
quantitatives et d’autre part de la structure des récits de voyage. Nous
nous sommes ensuite consacrée à l’étude du temps, et plus
particulièrement à l’analyse automatique de la sémantique des temps
verbaux du français. Disposant d’un analyseur syntaxique et sémantique à
large échelle du français, basé sur les grammaires catégorielles et la
sémantique compositionnelle (λ-DRT), notre tâche a été de prendre en
compte les temps des verbes pour reconstituer la temporalité des
événements et des états, notions regroupées sous le termes
d’éventualité. Cette thèse se concentre sur la construction d’un lexique
sémantique traitant des temps verbaux du français. Nous proposons une
extension et une adaptation d’un système d’opérateurs compositionnels
conçu pour les temps du verbe anglais, aux temps et à l’aspect du verbe
français du XIXème siècle à nos jours.  Cette formalisation est de facto
opérationnelle, car elle est définie en terme d’opérateurs du λ-calcul
dont la composition et la réduction, déjà programmées, calculent
automatiquement les représentations sémantiques souhaitées, des formules
multisortes de la logique d’ordre supérieur. Le passage de l’énoncé
comportant une éventualité seule au discours, dont le maillage
référentiel est complexe, est discuté et nous concluons par les
perspectives qu’ouvre nos travaux pour l’analyse du discours.

Alfonso Medina 

(Directeur de Recherches à EL COLEGIO DE MEXICO (http://www.colmex.mx))

Towards an Online Rhyming Dictionary for Mexican Spanish.

Rhyming dictionaries are a kind of reverse dictionaries. They group
words according to rhyming patterns. Rhymes can share exact sequences of
vowel and consonant sounds towards the end of a word (consonant rhyme)
or just similar vowel sounds (assonant rhyme). Thus, these dictionaries
are based on pronunciation, not on writing patterns. Also, since
consonance and assonance depend on the stressed syllable, words which
end with a stressed syllable are grouped together, those whose stressed
syllable is the next to last appear together, and so on.

In addition, word pronunciation may vary with time and across
geographical and social dialects. In Spanish, this is particularly clear
when word loans (for instance, Anglicisms and Galicisms) are
considered. In fact, they tend to keep their original writing, at least
in the Mexican variant which is the most spoken one. For example, the
following loan words, common in Mexican Spanish, rhyme: flash, collage,
garage, cottage, squash. Their last syllable is stressed and they are
ordered in reverse according to their sounds and not their letters:
(respectively, /fláʃ/, /ko.láʃ/, /ga.ráʃ/, /ko.táʃ/ and /es.kwáʃ/).

The project described takes the current nomenclature of the Diccionario
del español de México (http://dem.colmex.mx/) to generate automatically
a rhyming dictionary. Also, since the results of an online query to such
a dictionary can be quite large, a procedure was developed to rank them
semantically. The idea is to measure the similarities of the query
definition to each of the definitions of the rhyming words. These words
are then ordered from highest to lowest similarity to the query.

Chers collègues et autres destinataires,

Un nouvel appel à communications, cette fois non seulement pour faire le
point sur les avatars de la terminologie, cette discipline voisine et
soeur de la traduction, mais aussi pour rendre hommage à notre collègue
John Humbley, qui en est une des figures éminentes :

*Quo Vadis, Terminologia ?*, donc *Colloque international en hommage à 
John Humbley*
Site Web: http://quovadis.clillac-arp.univ-paris-diderot.fr/index
Dates : 18-20 février 2015, 
Date limite d'envoi des propositions : 15 septembre 2014,
Notification: 20 décembre 2014

Depuis sa naissance, notamment sous l’impulsion de Eugen Wüster, la
terminologie a connu maintes évolutions, tant techniques que
conceptuelles. Elle s’est trouvée appliquée à une multitude
d’applications, de la politique linguistique à l’indexation du web, qui
l’ont amenée tout à tour à se confronter ou à s’hybrider à une grande
variété de disciplines : lexicographie, traduction, rédaction
technique... Plus frappant, encore, elle a donné lieu à des controverses
de haute volée scientifique, par exemple sur l’héritage véritable de son
fondateur, sur la source à privilégier dans la recherche d’informations,
sur son caractère descriptif ou normatif ou encore sur son rapport avec
l’ontologie. Elle nous paraît en particulier voisine de la traduction,
en ceci que l’une et l’autre sont, comme l’auteur chez Flaubert, «
présent[es] partout et visible[s] nulle part ». Comme elle, son histoire
est intimement liée à celle du fait national, puisque la survie ou
l’émergence d’une langue tient à la capacité de cette dernière de nommer
la totalité des objets du réel (Michel Serres). Tout le monde fait de la
terminologie, utilise la terminologie, mais souvent avec une forme
d’ignorance qui va de la franche naïveté au franc déni. On pourrait
d’ailleurs en dire de même de la linguistique de corpus à laquelle la
terminologie s’est intimement liée ces deux dernières décennies dans une
approche contextuelle, chère aux contextualistes britanniques, et non
plus seulement conceptuelle. De la boîte à chaussures de jadis aux
corpus et aux bases informatiques d’aujourd’hui, qui seront demain
interconnectées, on ne classe plus, on n’ordonne plus les données du
savoir spécialisé, c’est-à-dire les concepts et les termes, ainsi que
les relations qui les unissent comme on le faisait par le passé.

Autant de raison pour organiser un colloque international et
pluridisciplinaire pour poser, avec des spécialistes de ces différents
domaines, la question de l’unité de la ou des terminologies, pour faire
le point sur ces diverses branches, ces diverses hybridations et pour en
discerner les perspectives de développement.

Et s’il fallait chercher un point de contact, un élément unificateur,
une boussole dans cet océan terminologique, peut-être faudrait-il se
tourner, par-delà les aspects scientifiques, vers une personnalité, dont
le nom serait susceptible de faire référence dans chacun de ces champs.
Un nom s’impose ici : John Humbley. Par l’extrême richesse de ses
travaux sur les multiples domaines cités plus haut, par la diversité de
son expérience professionnelle et institutionnelle, par les contacts
qu’il a noués et qu’il entretient à l’échelle de la planète, par sa
hauteur de vue et sa disponibilité sur tous ces aspects, par sa
participation à une multitude de comités de lecture, notre collègue John
Humbley est et a été un acteur et un témoin de premier plan dans ces
bouleversements. C’est en hommage à sa personne et à son œuvre que nous
avons décidé d’organiser ce grand colloque international, dont les
fruits feront, après passage en comité de lecture, l’objet d’un numéro
thématique dans une prestigieuse revue internationale de traductologie
et de terminologie.

Les communications portant sur les sujets suivants et intégrant les
travaux de John Humbley seront les bienvenues:

   * l'héritage de Wüster aujourd'hui
   * l'apport de la linguistique de corpus dans l'évolution de la 
     terminologie
   * l'apport de la phraséologie dans l'évolution des études en 
     terminologie
   * terminologie et traduction spécialisée
   * terminologie et rédaction technique
   * la néologie dans les langues de spécialité
   * variation terminologique
   * emprunts, métaphores et autres matrices à l'oeuvre dans la 
     dynamique terminologique, ressources terminologiques
   * aménagement terminologique

                    [Apologies for cross-postings]

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

       PHD STUDENTSHIP in  NATURAL LANGUAGE GENERATION

         Starting date: Fall 2014  Duration: 3 years

         Deadline for Application: Open until Filled

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Research Group in Computational Linguistics, Synalp/LORIA in Nancy
(France) invites applications for a three-year-funded PhD studentship in
Computational Linguistics.

Theme: Data-to-Text Generation
Funded by the ITEA ModelWriter Project
Main topic: Natural Language Generation for the Semantic Web

Description: There is a growing need in the semantic web (SW) community
for technologies that give humans easy access to the machine-oriented
Web of data. Because it maps data to text, Natural Language Generation
(NLG) provides a natural mean for presenting this data in an organized,
coherent and accessible way. Conversely, the representation languages
used by the semantic web (e.g., OWL ontologies and RDF data) are a
natural starting ground for NLG systems. The aim of the PhD thesis will
be to explore the interaction between the semantic web, the textual web
and Natural Language Generation (NLG). More precisely, the goal will be
to develop generic weakly supervised methods for generating text from
semantic web data in particular, content selection and verbalisation
methods.

The project will build on an ongoing collaboration between LORIA (Nancy,
France), the KRDB group at (Bolzano, Italy) and Stanford Research
International (USA), bringing together high level academic partners with
internationally recognised expertise in both NLG (LORIA) and knowledge
processing (KRDB, SRI).

Profile: We are looking for outstanding young research scientists with a
good honours degree in Computational Linguistics or Computer Science,
with programming skills and with a strong interest in Natural Language
Processing.

 Required skills:
 - Master's degree in Computational Linguistics or Computer Science
 - experience in Natural Language Processing
 - good command of the English language

 Desirable skills:
 - experience in natural language generation

Supervisor:
- Claire Gardent, http://www.loria.fr/~gardent/

Research Environment: LORIA is a computer science research unit which
conducts most of its scientific activities in partnership with the Inria
Nancy - Grand-Est Centre, the French National Centre for Scientific
Research (CNRS), the University of Lorraine. We also maintain close ties
with research institutes and universities from the wider region, notably
in Saarbrücken and Luxembourg. With around 500 staff and 27 research
teams, it is one of the biggest research unit in Lorraine. It conducts
research in Algorithms, Computation, Image & Geometry; Formal methods;
Networks, Systems and Services; Knowledge & Natural Language Processing;
and Complex Systems & Artificial Intelligence.

The PhD will be funded by the ITEA3 ModelWriter project
(https://itea3.org/project/modelwriter-1.html) for a period of 36
months.  Including industrial and academic partners from France, Belgium
and Turkey, this projects targets the Development of an integrated
authoring environment combining a semantic parser, a data-to-text
generator and Knowledge Capture Tools.

The PhD Candidate will be working in collaboration with the members of
the Synalp team (http://talc1.loria.fr/synalp/stories/about.html), a
Research Group in Computational Linguistics. Synalp research focuses on
hybrid, symbolic and statistical approaches to natural language
processing and applications built thereon, including NLP for Man-Machine
Dialog, for language learning and for Data Verbalisation.

Location: Nancy (http://en.nancy-tourisme.fr/) is a high-tech city
located at the heart of the Lorraine Region, in outstanding scientific
and natural surroundings. It is 1h30 by train from Paris, Germany and
Luxemburg and 1h from Paris Roissy international airport.

 AIM AND SCOPE

 Environmental and more generally geo-spatial information is now
 provided by crowdsourcing but also by public administrations in the
 context of the open data policies. Analyses of such data are still
 challenging. Firstly because of their heterogeneity (structural,
 semantic, spatial and temporal), and secondly because of the difficulty
 in choosing the “best” knowledge discovery process to apply, according
 to the needs of the experts in the field. This special session aims at
 discussing and assessing some of these strategies covering all or part
 of the issues mentioned above, from a theoretical or experimental point
 of view.

 TOPICS

 - Pre and Post Data processing
 - Data Quality, Result Evaluation
 - Data Mining or Data Warehousing Applications
 - Text-Mining
 - Visual Analytics
 - KDD real use-cases

 dedicated to environmental and geo-spatial Data

 PAPER SUBMISSION

 - Papers should be submitted by DSAA submission site choosing Special
   Session on "Environmental and geo-spatial data analytics (EnGeoData)"
   before 22nd July 2014 (PST).
 - Conference paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of seven
   (7) pages, in the IEEE 2-column format (see the IEEE Proceedings
   Author Guidelines:
   http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html).
 - All submissions will be blind reviewed by the Program Committee on
   the basis of technical quality, relevance to conference topics of
   interest, originality, significance, and clarity. Author names and
   affiliations must not appear in the submissions, and bibliographic
   references must be adjusted to preserve author anonymity.
 - Accepted conference papers will be published in the conference
   proceedings by IEEE and included into the IEEE Xplore Digital Library
   and will be submitted for EI indexing through INSPEC by IEEE.

This workshop is a follow-up to the workshop on Definitions in
Ontologies (DO 2013) held last year in Montreal in conjunction with ICBO
2013. The focus of this second workshop is on definition practices in
either human or machine-assisted ontology development.

PRESENTATION
A current problem in ontology development is constructing the needed
definitions of terms either logical or in natural language. For example,
ontologies built using OBO Foundry principles are advised to include
both logical and natural language definitions, but ontology developers
too often focus on only one of these, or they pay insufficient attention
to whether they are equivalent.

Explicit definitions of terms in ontologies serve a number of
purposes. Logical definitions allow reasoners to create inferred
hierarchies, lessening the burden of asserting and checking the validity
of subsumptions. Natural language definitions help to ameliorate the
pervasive problem of low inter-annotator agreement. In specialized
domains, experts will know their own field well, but may only have
limited knowledge of adjacent disciplines. Good definitions make it
possible for non-experts to understand unfamiliar terms and thereby make
it possible for more confident reuse of terms by external ontologies,
which in turn facilitates data integration.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together interested researchers
and developers to explore these issues by presenting case studies in a
biomedical domain discussing the difficulties that arise when
constructing definitions with a view to sharing strategies in the
future. Even in the seemingly narrow domain of definition construction,
cross-fertilization from related disciplines should yield benefits in
quality and help to identify novel approaches.

Papers submitted should include one or more case studies and raise
specific questions related to definitions with a link to a biomedical
domain. Reports on successful or unsuccessful methods are both
appropriate.

TOPICS
- experiences in formulating definitions
- tools that assist in definition editing, including collaborative
  systems
- coordination of logical and textual definitions
- validation and quality control of definitions, e.g., checking that
  definitions comply with the all/some form
- methods for constructing definitions from multiple sources
- use of controlled languages such as Rabbit or ACE for more
  user-friendly logical definition creation
- use of templates to systematize definition creation

FORMAT AND OUTCOMES
This will be a half-day workshop with a selected mix of presentations
based on accepted papers. In order to promote discussion, each
presentation will be followed by a short response by a participant of
the workshop to be arranged in advance of the workshop.

This workshop will document findings on the workshop’s website
(https://sites.google.com/site/definitionsinontologies/). We expect
accepted papers to be published in the Journal of Biomedical Semantics
(JBS).

INTENDED AUDIENCE
- ontologists, tool developers, and domain experts whose work encounters
  issues regarding definitions
- tool developers building definition- or ontology-authoring tools
- philosophers and logicians
- biomedical researchers working on definitions in nomenclatures such as
  SNOMED
- computer scientists addressing these issues in languages like OWL
- NLP researchers working on definition extraction, generation, or
  checking
- NLP/IR researchers reusing definitions produced for ontologies

SUBMISSIONS
All papers should include one or more case studies and raise specific
questions related to definitions with a link to a biomedical domain.

The workshop on Tools and Resources for Automatically Processing
Portuguese and Spanish aims to be a forum for the presentation and
discussion of language-specific developments for Portuguese and
Spanish. We expect to join together researchers and developers with a
focus on the creation of tools and linguistic resources for these two
languages.

A special interest of the workshop is to facilitate access to
technologies and resources that are specific to Portuguese and
Spanish. We intend that the workshop will contribute to make tools and
resources easily available to the local community. To that aim, we
encourage submissions that are oriented to simplify the integration of a
given tool or resource to address specific needs in these
regions. Detailed descriptions, motivation of utility with specific
scenarios, even tutorial-like approaches will be highly appreciated. All
workshop-related materials will be readily available from the workshop
webpage, to promote adoption.

Important Dates:

ELRA - Language Resources Catalogue - Update
*****************************************************************

We are happy to announce that 3 new Speech resources are now available
in our catalogue.

*ELRA-S0366 LECTRA (LECture TRAnscriptions in European Portuguese)*
This corpus is composed of the audio and the manual transcriptions from
seven 1-semester University courses in Portuguese. The corpus contains a
total of 28 hours of audio speech that were manually transcribed by
several trained annotators. The corpus is comprised of technical
University lectures.
For more information, see: 
http://catalog.elra.info/product_info.php?products_id=1221

*ELRA-S0367 CORAL Corpus*
The CORAL Corpus is a collection of spoken dialogues in European 
Portuguese. It consists of 56 dialogues about a predetermined subject: 
maps. One of the participants (giver) has a map with some landmarks and 
a route drawn between them; the other (follower) has also landmarks, but 
no route and consequently must reconstruct it. Only orthographic 
transcription was done for the whole corpus. A pilot recording was 
annotated in several levels.
For more information, see: 
http://catalog.elra.info/product_info.php?products_id=1222

*ELRA-S0370 MoveOn Speech and Noise Corpus*
The MoveOn Speech and Noise Corpus is a corpus recorded under the
extreme conditions of the motorcycle environment within the MoveOn
project. The speech utterances are in British English approaching the
issue of command and control and template driven dialog systems with a
focus on -- but not limited to - the police domain. The major part of
the corpus comprises noisy speech and environmental noise recorded on a
motorcycle. Several clean speech recording sessions with the same
recording setup (including the motorcycle helmet) in an office
environment complete the corpus.

Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8)
EMNLP 2014 / SIGMT / SIGLEX Workshop
Oct 2014, Doha, Qatar
http://www.cse.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/

*** Special theme: Compositional Distributional Semantics and Machine
    Translation ***

The Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8) seeks to bring together a large number of
researchers working on diverse aspects of structure, semantics and
representation in relation to statistical machine translation. Since its
first edition in 2006, 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.

We invite two types of submissions this year:

1. Extended abstracts for poster or hands-on presentations on the
   special theme
2. Full papers spanning all areas of interest for SSST

===========================
Special Theme Extended Abstracts
===========================

This year, the special theme of semantics of the past three editions of
SSST takes a new step with a "working workshop" bringing together
researchers interested in compositional distributional semantics,
distributed representations, and continuous vector space models in MT,
with tutorials bridging both directions, as well as discussions and
hands-on work on relevant tasks with real data. Such models have proven
beneficial for a number of NLP tasks, for example phrasal similarity,
lexical entailment, modeling semantic deviance, detecting order
restrictions in recursive structures, or improving NP bracketing in
parsing. However, they have not received as much attention in MT.

Extended abstracts of at most two (2) pages should describe poster or
hands-on presentations that will stimulate discussions on the special
theme of compositional distributional semantics and machine translation,
including position papers, recent work, pilot studies, negative
results. We encourage the presentation of relevant work that has been
published or submitted elsewhere, as well as new work in progress.

=========
Full Papers
=========

The need for structural mappings between languages is widely recognized
in the fields of statistical machine translation and spoken language
translation, and there is now wide consensus that these mappings are
appropriately represented using a family of formalisms that includes
synchronous/transduction grammars and similar notational 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 three editions which had semantics for SMT as a special
theme. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely
linked and SSST-8 continues to encourage submissions on semantics for MT
in a number of directions, including semantic role labeling, sense
disambiguation, and compositional distributional semantics 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
   compositional distributional semantics in MT
   distributed representations and continuous vector space models in MT

of almost 400.000 and is the country's judiciary and trade-fair
center. Brno is the capital of South Moravia, which is located in the
south-east part of the Czech Republic and is known for a wide range of
cultural, natural, and technical sights.  South Moravia is a traditional
wine region. Brno had been a Royal City since 1347 and with its six
universities it forms a cultural center of the region.

Brno can be reached easily by direct flights from London, Moscow, and
Eindhoven, and by trains or buses from Prague (200 km) or Vienna (130
km).

For the participants with some extra time, nearby places may also be of
interest.  Local ones include: Brno Castle now called Spilberk, Veveri
Castle, the Old and New City Halls, the Augustine Monastery with
St. Thomas Church and crypt of Moravian Margraves, Church of St.  James,
Cathedral of St. Peter & Paul, Cartesian Monastery in Kralovo Pole, the
famous Villa Tugendhat designed by Mies van der Rohe along with other
important buildings of between-war Czech architecture.

Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8)
EMNLP 2014 / SIGMT / SIGLEX Workshop
Oct 2014, Doha, Qatar
http://www.cse.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/

* Special theme: Compositional Distributional Semantics and Machine
  Translation *

The Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8) seeks to bring together a large number of
researchers working on diverse aspects of structure, semantics and
representation in relation to statistical machine translation. Since its
first edition in 2006, 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.

We invite two types of submissions this year:

1. Extended abstracts for poster or hands-on presentations on the
   special theme
2. Full papers spanning all areas of interest for SSST

===========================
Special Theme Extended Abstracts
===========================

This year, the special theme of semantics of the past three editions of
SSST takes a new step with a "working workshop" bringing together
researchers interested in compositional distributional semantics,
distributed representations, and continuous vector space models in MT,
with tutorials bridging both directions, as well as discussions and
hands-on work on relevant tasks with real data. Such models have proven
beneficial for a number of NLP tasks, for example phrasal similarity,
lexical entailment, modeling semantic deviance, detecting order
restrictions in recursive structures, or improving NP bracketing in
parsing. However, they have not received as much attention in MT.

Extended abstracts of at most two (2) pages should describe poster or
hands-on presentations that will stimulate discussions on the special
theme of compositional distributional semantics and machine translation,
including position papers, recent work, pilot studies, negative
results. We encourage the presentation of relevant work that has been
published or submitted elsewhere, as well as new work in progress.

=========
Full Papers
=========

The need for structural mappings between languages is widely recognized
in the fields of statistical machine translation and spoken language
translation, and there is now wide consensus that these mappings are
appropriately represented using a family of formalisms that includes
synchronous/transduction grammars and similar notational 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 three editions which had semantics for SMT as a special
theme. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely
linked and SSST-8 continues to encourage submissions on semantics for MT
in a number of directions, including semantic role labeling, sense
disambiguation, and compositional distributional semantics 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
   compositional distributional semantics in MT
   distributed representations and continuous vector space models in MT

Apologies for cross postings

8th Workshop on Geographic Information Retrieval GIR'14

Second Call for Papers

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

http://www.geo.uzh.ch/~rsp/gir14/

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

This is the second call for papers for the 8th Workshop on Geographic
Information Retrieval (GIR'14), to be held on 4th November 2014 in
conjunction with the ACM SIGSPATIAL 2014 conference in Dallas,
Texas. The workshop continues the successful series of workshops held
previously in cooperation with ACM SIGSPATIAL and in conjunction with
SIGIR and CIKM conferences.

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together members of the vibrant
and growing community of researchers and practitioners working in the
field of geographic information retrieval to discuss current research
activity and potential future research directions.

The subject and format of the workshop
-----------------------------------------------------

There is a vast quantity of information in text documents and other
media that is referenced to geographic space. The discipline of
Geographical Information Retrieval (GIR) is concerned with developing
methods to gain access to this geographical information, with a
particular focus on the content of web documents and social
media. Because much of the information is in the form of unstructured or
semi-structured text, there is a challenge to develop methods that can
automatically recognise and interpret the geographical terminology and
spatial or spatio-temporal concepts that people use when recording and
querying the information. GIR falls at the intersection of Information
Retrieval (IR) and Geographical Information Science (GIScience)
resulting in research and systems development that benefits from the
fusion of text-based methods for information extraction, natural
language processing, indexing and search with GIS methods for spatial
data management, analysis and visualization.

The workshop invites contributions on the following topics, and other
research related to GIR:

- Detection, disambiguation and geocoding of geographical references in
  text;

- User needs for geographic search;

- Classification of web documents and social media with regard to their
  geographic foci;

- Interpretation of spatial natural language in documents and queries;

- Extraction of geographically-specific facts and events from text
  documents and social media;

- Spatial and spatio-temporal indexing of documents and other media
  objects;

- Modelling, construction and integration of ontologies, gazetteers and
  geographic thesauri;

- Reasoning with geo-spatial facts for purposes of information
  retrieval;

- Geographical query interfaces for search on the web;

- Geographic question / answering systems;

- Geographic search engine architectures;

- Relevance ranking of geographical information;

- Evaluation methods for geographic search.

We invite both long papers (8 pages) and short papers (2 pages). Long
papers are expected to report on relatively mature research results,
while short papers may also cover more speculative or early stage
research that may stimulate discussion at the workshop.

All submissions will be reviewed by three members of the programme
committee and all accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital
Library.

Please note that we welcome contributions both from academic researchers
and from practitioners working in industry and in public agencies
engaged in GIR-related activities.

The workshop programme will ensure opportunity for discussion of the
presented papers and of the broader agenda for research in GIR.

Submission procedure
------------------------------
You should prepare your paper in accordance with the ACM camera-ready
instructions
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and submit
it using the EasyChair system
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gir14) by 29th August
2014. Decisions on acceptance will be announced by 15th September 2014.

Camera ready versions of accepted papers to be submitted by 29th
September 2014.

At least one author of accepted papers will be required to register for
the workshop before the paper is published in the ACM Digital Library,
and to present the paper at the workshop.

Please note that attendance at the workshop also requires registration
for the main ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS conference
(http://sigspatial2014.sigspatial.org) in addition to registering for
the workshop.

 AIM AND SCOPE

 Environmental and more generally geo-spatial information is now
 provided by crowdsourcing but also by public administrations in the
 context of the open data policies. Analyses of such data are still
 challenging. Firstly because of their heterogeneity (structural,
 semantic, spatial and temporal), and secondly because of the difficulty
 in choosing the “best” knowledge discovery process to apply, according
 to the needs of the experts in the field. This special session aims at
 discussing and assessing some of these strategies covering all or part
 of the issues mentioned above, from a theoretical or experimental point
 of view.

 TOPICS

 - Pre and Post Data processing
 - Data Quality, Result Evaluation
 - Data Mining or Data Warehousing Applications
 - Text Mining
 - Visual Analytics
 - KDD real use-cases

 dedicated to environmental and geo-spatial Data

 PAPER SUBMISSION

 - Papers should be submitted by DSAA submission site choosing Special
   Session on "Environmental and geo-spatial data analytics (EnGeoData)"
   before 22nd July 2014 (PST).
 - Conference paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of seven
   (7) pages, in the IEEE 2-column format (see the IEEE Proceedings
   Author Guidelines:
   http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
   ).
 - All submissions will be blind reviewed by the Program Committee on
   the basis of technical quality, relevance to conference topics of
   interest, originality, significance, and clarity. Author names and
   affiliations must not appear in the submissions, and bibliographic
   references must be adjusted to preserve author anonymity.

Bonjour à tous,

Nous avons le grand plaisir de faire l'annonce suivante (voir en bas de
ce courriel).

Le projet sud4science (http://sud4science.org) a démarré en janvier
2011, et fait partie d'un grand projet international, sms4science
(http://www.sms4science.org), initié par des chercheurs belges (Cental,
UCL), en 2004.

Le corpus « 88milSMS » est diffusé à partir du 26 juin 2014. 

Il s'agit d'un grand corpus de SMS authentiques, anonymisés, en
français. Il est produit par l’Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3 et
le CNRS, en collaboration avec l’Université catholique de Louvain, et il
est financé grâce au soutien de la MSH-M et du Ministère de la Culture
(Délégation générale à la langue française et aux langues de France) et
avec la participation de Praxiling, Lirmm, Lidilem, Tetis, Viseo.

Nous avons obtenu l'accord pour le mettre à disposition sur la grille de
services d'Huma-Num. Les conditions d'utilisation et les téléchargements
s'effectuent ici : http://88milsms.huma-num.fr/

C'est un grand jour pour tous les membres du projet. Nous profitons de
ce message pour remercier nos institutions de recherche publique, nos
entreprises, nos services juridiques, nos laboratoires de recherche, nos
partenaires et nos 8 stagiaires étudiants qui ont travaillé tout au long
de ces dernières années avec nous.

Nous voudrions terminer ce message par des remerciements très appuyés au
service juridique de l'Université Paul-Valéry, le SAJI, dirigé par
Stéphanie Delaunay. Si le projet sud4science a pu aboutir sur le plan
juridique, et si nous pouvons mettre à disposition le corpus « 88milSMS
» aujourd'hui, c'est grâce à l'énorme investissement dans le projet par
tout le service, et, en particulier, par notre correspondant
Informatique et libertés (CIL), Nicolas Hvoinsky. Notre juriste-CIL
s'est montré très actif dès le début du projet en 2011 : participation à
nos séminaires scientifiques pour comprendre les enjeux du projet,
rédaction de très nombreux documents juridiques, échanges de centaines
de courriels, conseils sur l'anonymisation des SMS, réponses à nos
questions incessantes, etc. Le temps et l'énergie consacrés au projet,
et la patience à toute épreuve de Nicolas Hvoinsky ont très largement
contribué à la réussite de ce projet.

Comme dit précédemment, le corpus « 88milSMS » est diffusé à partirdu 26
juin 2014 et nous sommes ravis et fiers de pouvoir le mettre à
disposition de tous.

Bien cordialement,

Rachel Panckhurst, Catherine Détrie, Cédric Lopez, Claudine Moïse,
Mathieu Roche, Bertrand Verine.

Call for Posters
Translating and the Computer 36
London, 27 and 28 November 2014

The Translating and the Computer conference
(http://www.translatingandthecomputer.com/) encourages submissions for
poster presentations to supplement the regular presentations of the
conference. Posters are expected to present ongoing and not necessarily
completed research, teaching or training activity, practical work,
software programs, projects or developments in general related to
translation, interpretation and terminology, and to the related
industries.

The Translating and the Computer conference is a unique forum for
researchers, developers and users. It brings together academics involved
in language technology research and in teaching translation and
terminology with those who develop and market tools for language
transformation and both of these groups with users: translators,
terminologists, interpreters, and voice-over specialists, whether
freelancers or working in translation departments of large organisations
such as those of the European Parliament, European courts and the
European Patent Office, the United Nations family, international
companies and other organisations, and Language Services Providers
(LSPs), large and small.

In its 36th session Translating and the Computer has moved from ASLIB to
ASLING. The conference often referred to as the “ASLIB Conference” is
now the ASLING Translating and the Computer Conference. One of the new
developments is also the launch of a poster session in addition to the
regular presentation slots.

Poster proposals in the form of poster abstracts not exceeding 500 words
(the final versions of the accepted posters can be up to 1,500 words)
must be submitted using the START system at the following address:
https://www.softconf.com/e/tc2014, adding the text “Poster:” at the
start of the “Title of Submission: ” field in the online submission
form.

Accepted poster papers will be included (and will have the have the same
status as regular papers) in the conference proceedings only after the
registration fee for at least one presenter of the paper has been paid.

Important dates
Deadline for poster submissions: 8 August 2014
Notification of acceptance or rejection: 22 August 2014
Camera-ready poster papers due: 3 October
Conference: 29 and 30 November 2014

*POST-DOCTORAT AU LPL (AIX-EN-PROVENCE) - PROJET ANR PhonIACog*
************************************************************************

Offre d'un contrat post-doctoral d'un an au Laboratoire Parole et
Langage (Aix-Marseille Université, CNRS, UMR 7309) dans le cadre du
projet ANR PhonIACog (-/R//ô//le de l'Accentuation Initiale dans la
structuration prosodique en français - de la phonologie au traitement de
la parole/- ; Coordinateur principal : Corine Astésano, Université de
Toulouse 2)

. ***Description du projet*
Le projet PhonIACog est financé par l'Agence Nationale de la Recherche
(ANR -- Programme Blanc).

Ce projet vise à décrire les caractéristiques accentuelles du français
afin de mettre en lumière la structure phonologique sous-jacente
caractérisant cette langue. Cette question est abordée au travers du
patron bipolaire /AI-AF/ (Accent Initial - Accent Final), envisagé comme
structure métrique de base en français. Nous proposons d'appliquer une
même grille d'analyse sur une série de corpus allant de la parole de
laboratoire à la parole semi-contrôlée et l'interaction dialogique
spontanée. Les expériences de production sur divers styles de parole
nous permettront d'affiner la caractérisation acoustico-phonétique de AI
et AF afin d'améliorer les systèmes de détection automatique des
événements prosodiques sur de larges corpus.

Pour plus d'informations, consulter le site du 
projet:http://aune.lpl-aix.fr/~phoniacog/ 


. *Description du travail*
Le post-doctorant sera principalement impliqué dans le traitement des
données. Il/elle participera aux analyses acoustiques et devra ensuite
mettre en oeuvre les traitements statistiques prévus dans le projet.

. *Pré-requis*
Une thèse en Science du Langage (phonétique expérimentale/prosodie) ou
en Traitement automatique du Langage ainsi qu'une solide expérience en
statistiques et traitement de données sont attendues. Des connaissances
sur le traitement et l'analyse des corpus oraux sont également
bienvenues.


. *Procédure*

Les candidats enverront un CV détaillé avec une liste des publications, 
ainsi qu'une brève lettre mentionnant leurs intérêts scientifiques en 
précisant la nature de leur expérience en traitement des données.

*POST-DOCTORAL POSITION FOR THE PROJECT PhonIACog (LPL -
 AIX-EN-PROVENCE, FRANCE)**
************************************************************************
We invite applications for a one-year Post-Doctoral position at the
Laboratoire Parole et Langage (LPL, Aix-Marseille Université, CNRS, UMR
7309, France), to work on the project PhonIACog (-/The role of the
Initial Accent in prosodic structuring in French/-/From phonology to
speech processing/- Main coordinator : Corine Astésano, Université de

Agency (ANR).

The present project aims at describing the characteristics of the French
accentual system in order to bring to light the underlying phonological
structure of this language. It addresses the status of the bipolar
pattern /IA FA/ (initial accent-final accent), considered as the basic
metric pattern in French. We propose to apply the same analyses to
different corpora, from laboratory speech to semi-controlled speech and
dialogic spontaneous interaction. The production studies will allow us
to refine the acoustic-phonetic characterization of IA and FA, with
potential application to automatic detection of prosodic cues on large,
spontaneous corpora.

More information is available at the project 
website:http://aune.lpl-aix.fr/~phoniacog/ 

. *Job description*
The post-doctoral fellow will be mainly involved in data processing.
He/she will participate in the acoustic analyses and will then have to
implement the statistical analyses planned in the project.

. *Qualifications*
A Ph.D. in linguistics (experimental phonetics/prosody) or in computer
science and solid competence/experience in statistics and data analysis
are required.  Experience in processing and analysis of large speech
database is also welcome.

. *Application procedure*
Candidates should send a detailed CV with a list of publications, and a
cover letter with statement of research interests and details of their
experience in data analysis.

Please e-mail documents to:roxane.bertrand at lpl-aix.fr

Apologies for cross-posting,

Submissions are invited for the 4th edition of Sentiment Elicitation
from Natural Text for Information Retrieval and Extraction (SENTIRE),
the IEEE ICDM workshop series on opinion mining. The term SENTIRE comes
from the Latin feel and it is root of words such as sentiment and
sensation. SENTIRE aims to provide an international forum for
researchers in the field of 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 Web
mining, AI, Semantic Web, information retrieval and natural language
processing. The workshop is going to be held in Shenzhen on 14th
December 2014. For more information, please visit:
http://sentic.net/sentire

RATIONALE
Memory and data capacities double approximately every two years and,
apparently, the Web is following the same rule. User-generated contents,
in particular, are an ever-growing source of opinion and sentiments
which are continuously spread worldwide through blogs, wikis, fora,
chats and social networks. The distillation of knowledge from such
sources is a key factor for applications in fields such as commerce,
tourism, education and health, but the quantity and the nature of the
contents they generate make it a very difficult task. Due to such
challenging research problems and wide variety of practical
applications, opinion mining and sentiment analysis have become very
active research areas in the last decade.

Our understanding and knowledge of the problem and its solution are
still limited as natural language understanding techniques are still
pretty weak. Most of current research in sentiment analysis, in fact,
merely relies on machine learning algorithms. Such algorithms, despite
most of them being very effective, produce no human understandable
results such that we know little about how and why output values are
obtained. All such approaches, moreover, rely on syntactical structure
of text, which is far from the way human mind processes natural
language. Next-generation opinion mining systems should employ
techniques capable to better grasp the conceptual rules that govern
sentiment and the clues that can convey these concepts from realization
to verbalization in the human mind.

Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8)
EMNLP 2014 / SIGMT / SIGLEX Workshop
Oct 2014, Doha, Qatar
http://www.cse.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/

* New submission deadline for papers and abstracts: August 1st, 2014 *
* Special theme: Compositional Distributional Semantics and Machine
  Translation *

The Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8) seeks to bring together a large number of
researchers working on diverse aspects of structure, semantics and
representation in relation to statistical machine translation. Since its
first edition in 2006, 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.

We invite two types of submissions this year:

1. Extended abstracts for poster or hands-on presentations on the
   special theme
2. Full papers spanning all areas of interest for SSST

===========================
Special Theme Extended Abstracts
===========================

This year, the special theme of semantics of the past three editions of
SSST takes a new step with a "working workshop" bringing together
researchers interested in compositional distributional semantics,
distributed representations, and continuous vector space models in MT,
with tutorials bridging both directions, as well as discussions and
hands-on work on relevant tasks with real data. Such models have proven
beneficial for a number of NLP tasks, for example phrasal similarity,
lexical entailment, modeling semantic deviance, detecting order
restrictions in recursive structures, or improving NP bracketing in
parsing. However, they have not received as much attention in MT.

Extended abstracts of at most two (2) pages should describe poster or
hands-on presentations that will stimulate discussions on the special
theme of compositional distributional semantics and machine translation,
including position papers, recent work, pilot studies, negative
results. We encourage the presentation of relevant work that has been
published or submitted elsewhere, as well as new work in progress.

=========
Full Papers
=========

The need for structural mappings between languages is widely recognized
in the fields of statistical machine translation and spoken language
translation, and there is now wide consensus that these mappings are
appropriately represented using a family of formalisms that includes
synchronous/transduction grammars and similar notational 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 three editions which had semantics for SMT as a special
theme. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely
linked and SSST-8 continues to encourage submissions on semantics for MT
in a number of directions, including semantic role labeling, sense
disambiguation, and compositional distributional semantics 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
    compositional distributional semantics in MT
    distributed representations and continuous vector space models in MT

Translation / LIFL (Lille) and LIG (Grenoble)

Problem

Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) is the process by which texts are
automatically translated from a source language to a target language by
a machine that has been trained on corpora in both languages. Thanks to
progress in the training of SMT engines, machine translation has become
good enough so that it has become advantageous for translators to
post-edit machine outputs rather than translate from scratch. However,
current enhancement of SMT systems from human post-edition (PE) are
rather basic: the post-edited output is added to the training corpus and
the translation model and language model are re-trained, with no clear
view of how much has been improved and how much is left to be
improved. Moreover, the final PE result is the only feedback used:
available technologies do not take advantage of logged sequences of
post-edition actions, which inform on the cognitive processes of the
post-editor.

The proposed thesis aims at using the post-edition process as a
demonstration of how an expert translator modifies the SMT result to
produce a perfect translation. Learning from demonstration is an
emerging field in machine learning, mostly applied to robotics [1] that
will thus be explored further in the particular framework of SMT.

Topic of research

A novel approach to SMT training will be adopted in this thesis, i.e.
considering the post-edition process as a sequential decision making
process performed by human experts who should be imitated. This thesis’
first fundamental contribution to SMT will be to reformulate the problem
of post-edition in SMT as a sequential decision making problem
[4]. Indeed, the hypothesis selection and ranking process occurring in
an SMT system can be seen as an action selection strategy, choosing
after each post-edition step amongst a large number of actions (all
possible hypotheses and rankings). This strategy has to be modified
according to post-edition results arising sequentially and being
influenced by previous actions (hypothesis selection) of the system.

From this, SMT will be casted into an imitation learning problem, that
is learning from demonstrations made by an expert: post-edition results
can be seen as examples of what the system should do, again in a
sequential decision making process and not in a static one such as
supervised learning. Indeed, SMT decoding, whether it is based on
phrases or chunks, can be seen as a sequential decision making
process. The sequences of decisions taken by an expert during the
post-edition process can be seen as a target for the system, which will
try to imitate them in similar situations. To do so, we will extend the
work described in [2], that modelled semantic parsing as an Inverse
Reinforcement Learning (IRL) [3].

In addition, the question of automatically selecting the sentences that
should be used for post-edition and further learning will be addressed.
Especially, this will be studied under the active learning
paradigm. Large and diversified amounts of post-edited data, collected
in an industrial setting, will be made available for the research
project.


Profile

The applicants must hold an Engineering or a Master degree in
Computational Linguistics or computer science, preferably with
experience in the fields of statistical machine learning and/or natural
language processing. Good background in programming will also be
required. He/she will also be involved in a research project, funded by
the French National Agency for Research, involving 2 research labs (LIFL
in Lille and LIG in Grenoble) and a company (Lingua & Machina). For this
reason good English level is required (good command of French being a
plus). Finally effective communication skills in English, both written
and verbal are mandatory.

Context

The candidate will be hired by University Lille 1 in the framework of a
national research project. S/he will mainly be hosted in the SequeL (
Sequential Learning) team of the Laboratoire d’Informatique Fondamentale
de Lille (LIFL). SequeL is also a common team-project with INRIA
(national institute for research in computer science and mathematics)
and espe- cially the INRIA Lille - Nord Europe Center. The group
involves around 25 researchers working on sequential learning and is
internationally recognized. Lille is the largest city of the north of
France, a metropolis with 1 million inhabitants, with excellent train
connections to Brussels (30 min), Paris (1h) and London (1h30).

This thesis will be supervised in strong collaboration with the GETALP
team of Laboratoire d’Informatique de Grenoble (LIG), widely renowned
for its research on natural language and speech processing. Grenoble is
a high-tech city with 4 universities. It is located at the heart of the
Alps, in outstanding scientific and natural surroundings. It is 3h by
train from Paris ; 2h from Geneva ; 1h from Lyon ; 2h from Torino and is
less than 1h from Lyon international airport.

The PhD thesis will be co-supervised by Olivier Pietquin in Lille and
Laurent Besacier in Grenoble.

Contacts

Interviews will be held in Sept 2014. Meetings during Interspeech 2014
in Singapore can be also organized. For further info, please contact:

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
 
There has been a lot of progress in the last 15 years in the area of
Arabic Natural Language Processing (NLP).  Many Arabic NLP (or Arabic
NLP-related) workshops and conferences have taken place, both in the
Arab World and in association with international conferences. This
workshop follows in the footsteps of previous efforts to provide a forum
for researchers to share and discuss their ongoing work.
 
We invite submissions on topics that include, but are not limited to,
the following:
 
* Basic core technologies: morphological analysis, disambiguation,
  tokenization, POS tagging, named entity detection, chunking, parsing,
  semantic role labeling, sentiment analysis, Arabic dialect modeling,
  etc.
 
* Applications: machine translation, speech recognition, speech
  synthesis, optical character recognition, pedagogy, assistive
  technologies, social media, etc.
 
* Resources: dictionaries, annotated data, specialized databases etc.

Submissions may include work in progress as well as finished work.

Submissions must have a clear focus on specific issues pertaining to the
Arabic language whether it is standard Arabic, dialectal, or
mixed. Descriptions of commercial systems are welcome, but authors
should be willing to discuss the details of their work.  Submissions are
expected to be 8 pages long plus 2 pages for references.

Associated with the workshop will be a shared task on Arabic text error
correction (see link to Shared Task Website above).

Subject: Sujet de these: PhD scholarships in Computer Science at the Free
 Univ. of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy)
Message-ID: <TUE.29.JUL.2014.223418.0200.HAMON@LIMSI.FR>

The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano announces a public competition, by
qualifications, for admission to the PhD programme of the Faculty of
Computer Science, with the first 6 positions covered by scholarships
(17,000€ per year). In addition, the student will be financially
supported to attend conferences and schools, and to spend a period of
6-12 months abroad. The PhD programme lasts three years. The official
language of the programme and of the faculty is English.

Research in the Faculty of Computer Science is divided in three research
centres (see below). Candidates are strongly advised to get in contact
with the desired research centre before applying.

Bolzano is the city’s Italian name while Bozen is its German name: it is
the capital of the multilingual province of Alto Adige / Südtirol. Near
Italy’s northern border with Austria, the city is a gateway to the
Dolomites, the majestic white mountain peaks that are part of the
Alps. Bolzano is an Italian city with Austrian flair. Its two
lifestyles, one Northern European and the other more Mediterranean,
combine to make the perfect union, which can be clearly seen in the
historic and artistic treasures of this city. Bolzano is constantly
among the top-ranked cities in Italy when it comes to quality of
life. It has one of Europe's lowest unemployment rates, excellent
services and a wonderful landscape. The landscape of the surrounding
mountain sides is characterised by old wine hamlets and villages
nestling amid vineyards watched over by 200 castles, stately country
houses and ruins (see the wonderful video).

Instructions for application (pre-enrollment):
http://www.unibz.it/en/inf/progs/phdcs/
The deadline for the applications is the 29th August 2014.


RESEARCH CENTRES:

KRDB RESEARCH CENTRE FOR KNOWLEDGE AND DATA

- web page: http://www.inf.unibz.it/krdb/
- contact person: Enrico Franconi franconi at inf.unibz.it

  - Logic based languages for knowledge representation
  - Intelligent access to databases
  - Semantic technologies
  - Visual and verbal paradigms for information exploration  
  - Temporal aspects of data and knowledge
  - Extending database technologies
  - Inter-operation, verification, and composition of business processes

The research topics in knowledge representation are focused on
foundational and practical aspects of knowledge representation
technologies applied to information systems. The whole life cycle
ranging from the design to the deployment of such technologies is
covered: the conceptual modelling of various types of knowledge, the
linguistic and logical aspects of knowledge, the integration of
heterogeneous knowledge sources, including information coming from the
Internet, the usage of knowledge to support the intelligent retrieval of
information, and the usage of knowledge to create virtual services on
the net.

INFORMATION AND DATABASE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING 

  - Spatial and temporal databases 
  - Approximation Techniques in databases
  - Query optimisation in databases
  - Cooperative interfaces for information access and filtering
  - Data mining techniques for preference elicitation and recommendation
  - Cloud computing and big data
  - Agile development & human aspects of software engineering
  - Software startups and open science
  - Design based Hardware engineering
  - Technology enhanced learning

The research activities in the area of database and information systems
focus on key aspects of applied computer science, including data
warehousing and data mining, the integration of heterogeneous and
distributed databases, time-varying information, data models, and query
processing. The research approach is primarily constructive in its
outset, and it includes substantial experimental and analytical
elements. The development activities cover the design of data models and
structures, and the development of algorithms, data structures,
languages, and systems. The experimental activities verify real world
artifacts with the help of prototypes and simulations. The analytic
activities include the analysis of the algorithmic complexity and the
evaluation of languages. The main goal is theoretically sound results
that solve real world problems.

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
 
  - Agile methods, lean management, and open source
  - Measurement and study of software quality, reliability, evolution
    and reuse
  - Distributed computing and service-oriented architectures (mobile and
    distributes services)
  - IT and business alignment
  - Software reuse and component based development
  - Interoperability in collaborative systems
  - IT for automation
  - Energy-aware systems

The research topics in software engineering are focused on the empirical
and quantitative study of innovative models for software
development. The target analysis techniques include both traditional
statistics, and new approaches, such as computational intelligence,
Bayesian models, and meta-analytical systems. The innovative software
development techniques include (a) methods based on lean management,
such as agile methods, with a specific interest for benchmarking and
identification of defects, and (b) open source development models.

Call for Workshop Papers and Posters

2014 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE BigData 2014)

http://cci.drexel.edu/bigdata/bigdata2014/index.htm
October 27-30, 2014, Washington DC,  USA


In recent years, “Big Data” has become a new ubiquitous term. Big Data
is transforming science, engineering, medicine, healthcare, finance,
business, and ultimately society itself. The IEEE Big Data has
established itself as the top tier research conference in Big Data. The
first conference IEEE Big Data 2013
(http://cci.drexel.edu/bigdata/bigdata2013/) was held in Santa Clara ,
CA from Oct 6-7, 2013, 259 paper submissions for the main conference and
32 paper submissions for the industry and government program. Of those,
44 regular papers and 53 short papers were accepted, which translates
into a selectivity that is on-par with top tier conferences. Also, there
were 14 workshops associated with IEEE Big Data 2013 covering various
important topics related to various aspects of Big Data research,
development and applications, and more than 400 participants from 40
countries attend the 4-day event.

The IEEE International Conference on Big Data 2014(IEEE BigData 2014)
continues the success of the IEEE BigData 2013. We expect to have an
exciting prgoram, IEEE Big Data 2014 has received 271 paper submissions
for the main conference and 37 paper submissions for the industry and
government program. Also there are 21 workshops covering a lot emerging
research areas associated with it, If you miss the deadline to submit a

SemEval-2015 Task 4: TimeLine: Cross-Document Event Ordering (pilot
task)
First Call for Participation

Website: http://alt.qcri.org/semeval2015/task4
Google Group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/semeval-task4-timeline
Evaluation period: November 15 - 30, 2014
Paper submission: January 2015

*Introduction*
In any domain, professionals need to have access to knowledge in order
to take well-informed decisions. An insightful way of presenting
information in an easily updatable and complete manner is to present it
on a timeline that is continuously updated with new information. The aim
of the task is to build timelines from written news in English. More
specifically, the goal is to order on a timeline all the events in which
a target entity is involved. We focus mainly on cross-document event
coreference resolution and cross-document temporal relation extraction.

Temporal relation extraction has been the topic of the three past
TempEval tasks as part of SemEval:
- TempEval-1 (2007): Temporal Relation Identification
- TempEval-2 (2010): Evaluating Events, Time Expressions, and Temporal
  Relations
- TempEval-3 (2013): Temporal Annotation

In addition, temporal relation extraction has been the focus of the 6th
i2b2 NLP Challenge for clinical records but the cross-document aspect,
has not been often explored. At RANLP 2009 there was a cross-document
temporal relation extraction task, in which the goal was to link
pre-defined events involving the same centroid entities (i.e. entities
frequently participating in events) on a timeline. Nominal coreference
resolution has been the topic of SemEval 2010 Task on Coreference
Resolution in Multiple Languages.

Partially motivated by the work in the NewsReader project
(http://www.newsreader-project.eu), TimeLine goes beyond the these tasks
by addressing coreference resolution for events and temporal relation
identification across documents.

*Task Description*
Given a set of documents and a target entity, the task is to build an
event TimeLine related to that entity, i.e. to detect, anchor in time
and order the events involving the target entity.

As input data, we provide a set of documents and a set of target
entities (people, organization, product or financial entity); only
entities of interest will be selected as target entities, i.e. entities
involved in many events across different documents and for which it is
relevant to build a timeline.

There are two tracks in this task based on the data used as input. For
Track A only raw text is provided to the participants, while for Track B
gold-standard event mentions are also given.

For both tracks the expected output is one TimeLine for each target
entity. Each TimeLine consists of an ordered list of events in which
each event is associated to a time anchor.

For both tracks a sub-track in which the events are not associated to a
time anchor is proposed.

Participants can choose to participate in any track and subtrack.
Participants can submit up to two runs for each track/subtrack.

*Data*
The trial data consists of a set of 30 documents collected from Wikinews
(http://en.wikinews.org) about Apple Inc. A set of target entities
(input) and the corresponding ordered list of events (the output
timeline) is provided with the set of documents.

The trial data have been annotated with the extents of event mentions
and are available
fromhttp://alt.qcri.org/semeval2015/task4/index.php?id=data-and-tools. The
evaluation tool can also be found there.

The evaluation data will consist of 3 sets of documents annotated with
event mentions and a set of target entities. Each set will contain
around 30 documents from Wikinews, totalling around 30,000 tokens. For
each set of documents, one file is provided containing the list of
target entities.

No training corpus will be provided for this task.

*Evaluation Methodology*
Participants will submit the TimeLines produced by their system for all
target entities. Systems will be ranked based on their temporal
awareness.

*More information*
See http://alt.qcri.org/semeval2015/task4/ for further information about
the task, data formats, examples, data downloads, tools and registration
information.

*Important dates*
- Evaluation period starts: November 15, 2014
- Evaluation period ends: November 30, 2014
- Paper submission due: January 30, 2015
- Paper notification: Early March, 2015
- Camera-ready due: March 30, 2015
- SemEval workshop: Summer 2015

Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8)
EMNLP 2014 / SIGMT / SIGLEX Workshop
Oct 2014, Doha, Qatar
http://www.cse.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/

*** Special theme: Compositional Distributional Semantics and Machine
    Translation ***

The Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8) seeks to bring together a large number of
researchers working on diverse aspects of structure, semantics and
representation in relation to statistical machine translation. Since its
first edition in 2006, 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.

We invite two types of submissions this year:

1. Extended abstracts for poster or hands-on presentations on the
   special theme
2. Full papers spanning all areas of interest for SSST

===========================
Special Theme Extended Abstracts
===========================

This year, the special theme of semantics of the past three editions of
SSST takes a new step with a "working workshop" bringing together
researchers interested in compositional distributional semantics,
distributed representations, and continuous vector space models in MT,
with tutorials bridging both directions, as well as discussions and
hands-on work on relevant tasks with real data. Such models have proven
beneficial for a number of NLP tasks, for example phrasal similarity,
lexical entailment, modeling semantic deviance, detecting order
restrictions in recursive structures, or improving NP bracketing in
parsing. However, they have not received as much attention in MT.

Extended abstracts of at most two (2) pages should describe poster or
hands-on presentations that will stimulate discussions on the special
theme of compositional distributional semantics and machine translation,
including position papers, recent work, pilot studies, negative
results. We encourage the presentation of relevant work that has been
published or submitted elsewhere, as well as new work in progress.

=========
Full Papers
=========

The need for structural mappings between languages is widely recognized
in the fields of statistical machine translation and spoken language
translation, and there is now wide consensus that these mappings are
appropriately represented using a family of formalisms that includes
synchronous/transduction grammars and similar notational 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 three editions which had semantics for SMT as a special
theme. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely
linked and SSST-8 continues to encourage submissions on semantics for MT
in a number of directions, including semantic role labeling, sense
disambiguation, and compositional distributional semantics 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
   compositional distributional semantics in MT
   distributed representations and continuous vector space models in MT

NEW EXTENDED DEADLINE: August 15, 2014

Second International Workshop on Definitions in Ontologies (IWOOD 2014)
at the International Conference on Biomedical Ontologies (ICBO 2014)

October 6-7, 2014
Houston, USA

Website: https://sites.google.com/site/definitionsinontologies/

This workshop is a follow-up to the workshop on Definitions in
Ontologies (DO 2013) held last year in Montreal in conjunction with ICBO
2013. The focus of this second workshop is on definition practices in
either human or machine-assisted ontology development.

PRESENTATION
A current problem in ontology development is constructing the needed
definitions of terms either logical or in natural language. For example,
ontologies built using OBO Foundry principles are advised to include
both logical and natural language definitions, but ontology developers
too often focus on only one of these, or they pay insufficient attention
to whether they are equivalent.

Explicit definitions of terms in ontologies serve a number of purposes.
Logical definitions allow reasoners to create inferred hierarchies,
lessening the burden of asserting and checking the validity of
subsumptions. Natural language definitions help to ameliorate the
pervasive problem of low inter-annotator agreement. In specialized
domains, experts will know their own field well, but may only have
limited knowledge of adjacent disciplines. Good definitions make it
possible for non-experts to understand unfamiliar terms and thereby make
it possible for more confident reuse of terms by external ontologies,
which in turn facilitates data integration.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together interested researchers
and developers to explore these issues by presenting case studies in a
biomedical domain discussing the difficulties that arise when
constructing definitions with a view to sharing strategies in the
future. Even in the seemingly narrow domain of definition construction,
cross-fertilization from related disciplines should yield benefits in
quality and help to identify novel approaches.

Papers submitted should include one or more case studies and raise
specific questions related to definitions with a link to a biomedical
domain. Reports on successful or unsuccessful methods are both
appropriate.

TOPICS
- experiences in formulating definitions
- tools that assist in definition editing, including collaborative
  systems
- coordination of logical and textual definitions
- validation and quality control of definitions, e.g., checking that
  definitions comply with the all/some form

- methods for constructing definitions from multiple sources
- use of controlled languages such as Rabbit or ACE for more
  user-friendly logical definition creation
- use of templates to systematize definition creation

FORMAT AND OUTCOMES
This will be a half-day workshop with a selected mix of presentations
based on accepted papers. In order to promote discussion, each
presentation will be followed by a short response by a participant of
the workshop to be arranged in advance of the workshop.

This workshop will document findings on the workshop’s website
(https://sites.google.com/site/definitionsinontologies/). We expect
accepted papers to be published in the Journal of Biomedical Semantics
(JBS).

INTENDED AUDIENCE
- ontologists, tool developers, and domain experts whose work encounters
  issues regarding definitions
- tool developers building definition- or ontology-authoring tools
- philosophers and logicians
- biomedical researchers working on definitions in nomenclatures such as
  SNOMED
- computer scientists addressing these issues in languages like OWL
- NLP researchers working on definition extraction, generation, or
  checking
- NLP/IR researchers reusing definitions produced for ontologies

SUBMISSIONS
All papers should include one or more case studies and raise specific
questions related to definitions with a link to a biomedical domain.
Papers should be between 5 and 10 pages long (rendered), excluding
references, formatted using the JBS templates at
http://www.jbiomedsem.com/authors/instructions/research#preparing-main-manuscript,
and submitted via EasyChair
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=do2014).

Call for Demos: The First International Workshop on Big Data Discovery
and Curation

Traditionally, data warehouses have been used to provide business users
ways to consolidate information from different sources for analysis and
reporting. For getting data ready for analysis, ETL
(extract-transfrom-load) is used which involves reading data from
different sources, cleaning the data, converting the format of the input
data so that it conforms to the target database, and writing it to the
target database.
Big data paradigm is changing this problem due to three V?s: volume,
velocity, and variety. In big data paradigm, potentially a large number
of data sources and data assets are considered for analytics. One needs
to discover, integrate, and analyze large volumes of diverse data
quickly.
Finding relevant data for analytics is an important data discovery
problem.  Data diversity makes this problem difficult. The diversity of
the data can be due to data model; type of data?structured,
semi-structured, or unstructured; enterprise data vs. open public data;
integrating social media data, etc. One also needs to handle data
quality and data governance issues. In this workshop we invite
demonstrations displaying techniques for identifying relevant sets of
data, finding different kinds of relationships between structured,
semi-structured, and unstructured data, curating the data for further
analysis, integrating data using various join, union, and merge
techniques, validating the integrated data, and analyzing it, from
various industry domains.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Cleaning big data
- Integration of big heterogeneous data
- Metadata extraction
- Automated rule generation
- Curating data
- Data discovery
- Provisioning and data lineage

We welcome good demonstrations, including of previously accepted
papers/demos, for this workshop. Authors need to send manuscript
describing the demo in up to 2 pages (2 column format) inclusive of all
references and figures. Manuscripts must be written in English, and
formatted according to IEEE proceedings templates. Please see the
workshop website https://sites.google.com/site/bddc2014/ for more
details.

Premi?re annonce : S?minaire-Atelier 

Enjeux, m?thodes et outils pour am?liorer la r?daction des textes
techniques

IRIT, Universit? Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, 13-14 Novembre 2014

Objectifs 

La r?daction technique est un secteur en pleine expansion du fait, entre
autres, de la complexit? des produits commercialis?s et des processus
industriels, des exigences croissantes en s?curit? et du d?veloppement
des approches en sp?cification (exigences, r?gles m?tier). Les t?ches
d?volues aux r?dacteurs techniques deviennent de plus en plus
lourdes. Celles-ci incluent une prise en compte plus importante des
interactions avec le m?tier et les op?rateurs, mais aussi la prise en
compte des contraintes r?glementaires et un accroissement important en
mati?re de qualit? de r?daction. Cette qualit? de r?daction est d?une
nature diff?rente des contr?les offerts par les ?diteurs de textes
classiques et n?cessite une d?marche particuli?re.

L?objectif de ce s?minaire est de faire se rencontrer les diff?rents
m?tiers de la r?daction technique, les chercheurs, les enseignants, et
les industriels qui d?veloppent des outils d?aide ? la r?daction
technique afin d?approfondir une connaissance r?ciproque des m?tiers de
la r?daction ainsi que les possibilit?s d?aide que peuvent offrir des
syst?mes avanc?s en mati?re de traitement de la langue, intelligence
artificielle et ergonomie cognitive.

Le s?minaire consistera en pr?sentations, d?monstrations et ?tudes de
cas, dans le but de promouvoir des liens entre m?tiers et de d?velopper
de nouvelles synergies.

Th?mes (non exhaustifs)

- Pratiques de la r?daction technique (en linguistique, ergonomie,
  psycholinguistique), protocoles d?analyse de ces pratiques

- Le document technique : aspects ?pist?mologiques, fonctionnels,
  linguistiques, conceptuels. Le document technique, ses ?volutions et
  ses challenges, incluant la dimension multim?dia

- Th?ories et recommandations de la r?daction technique (par
  ex. minimalisme, diff?rentes d?clinaisons de la langue contr?l?e (par
  ex. par rapport au domaine, aux t?ches, au type de doc technique)),
  normes m?tier,

- Les attentes et besoins de la r?daction technique, le fonctionnement
  de la salle de r?daction ; r?daction et cycles de vie des documents,
  la relation r?dacteur-op?rateur (par ex. le REX),

- La r?daction technique dans une langue ?trang?re au r?dacteur
  (anglais),

- R?daction technique et maitrise des risques industriels : mod?les
  math?matiques, psychologiques, etc.,

- Les challenges en analyse de la coh?rence et de la coh?sion des
  documents,

- Les syst?mes d?aide ? la r?daction technique au niveau de la langue
  (Rat-RQA, Rubric, Lelie, etc.), et au niveau fonctionnel (Scenari,
  plateformes bas?es XML),

- M?thodes en correction des erreurs : strat?gies et processus, m?thodes
  linguistiques, capitalisation des corrections, m?moire de correction,

- D?monstrations de syst?mes.

Participation : gratuite. S?inscrire avant le 15 Octobre. Pour une
intervention, soumettre un r?sum? d?une page en Word, format libre,
avant le 15 septembre. R?ponse le 30 Septembre. Les industriels auteurs
de solutions de r?daction ainsi que les ?quipes de r?dacteurs sont
encourag?es ? participer.

--2nd Workshop on Computational History (HistoInformatics 2014)--
-----------------------------------------------------------------

                      Held in conjunction with the

   6th International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo 2014)

                            Barcelona, Spain

         http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/histoinformatics2014/

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------Paper submission deadline September 1, 2014--------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The 2nd International Workshop on Computational History
(Histoinformatics 2014) aims at fostering the interaction between
Computer Science and Historical Science. This interdisciplinary
initiative is a response to the growing popularity of Digital Humanities
and an increased tendency to apply computer techniques for supporting
and facilitating research in Humanities. Nowadays, due to the increasing
activities in digitizing and opening historical sources, the Science of
History can greatly benefit from the advances of Computer and
Information sciences which consist of processing, organizing and making
sense of data and information. As such, new Computer Science techniques
can be applied to verify and validate historical assumptions based on
text reasoning, image interpretation or memory understanding. Our
objective is to provide for the two different research communities a
place to meet and exchange ideas and to facilitate discussion. We hope
the workshop will result in a survey of current problems and potential
solutions, with particular focus on exploring opportunities for
collaboration and interaction of researchers working on various subareas
within Computer Science and History Sciences.

The main topics of the workshop are that of supporting historical
research and analysis through the application of Computer Science
theories or technologies, analyzing and making use of historical texts,
recreating past course of actions, analyzing collective memories,
visualizing historical data, providing efficient access to large wealth
of accumulated historical knowledge and so on. The detailed topics of
expected paper submissions are (but not limited to):

- Natural language processing and text analytics applied to historical
  documents
- Analysis of longitudinal document collections
- Search and retrieval in document archives and historical collections,
  associative search
- Causal relationship discovery based on historical resources
- Named entity recognition and disabmiguation
- Entity relationship extraction, detecting and resolving historical
  references in text
- Finding analogical entities over time
- Computational linguistics for old texts
- Analysis of language change over time
- Digitizing and archiving
- Modeling evolution of entities and relationships over time
- Automatic multimedia document dating
- Applications of Artificial Intelligence techniques to History
- Simulating and recreating the past, social relations, motivations, 
  figurations
- Handling uncertain and fragmentary text and image data
- Automatic biography generation
- Mining Wikipedia for historical data
- OCR and transcription old texts
- Effective interfaces for searching, browsing or visualizing historical
  data collections
- Studies on collective memory
- Studying and modeling forgetting and remembering processes
- Estimating credibility of historical findings
- Probing the limits of Histoinformatics
- Epistemologies in the Humanities and Computer Science

Full paper submissions are limited to 10 pages, while short paper
submissions should be less than 5 pages. Submissions should be sent in
English in PDF via the submission website. They should be formatted
according to Springer LNCS paper formatting guidelines. They must be
original and have not been submitted for publication elsewhere.
Submissions will be evaluated by at least three different reviewers who
come from Computer Science and History Science backgrounds. The accepted
papers will be published by Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS). See website for more details.

Dernier appel ? communications: num?ro sp?cial sur le traitement
automatique du langage parl? pour la revue TAL (Traitement Automatique
des Langues) 

----ENGLISH VERSION OF THIS CFP CAN BE FOUND AT THE END OF THIS
    MESSAGE------

possibilit? de soumettre jusqu'au 15 juillet! 

Direction : Laurent Besacier, Wolfang Minker

Date limite : 30 juin 2014 (possibilit? de mettre ? jour article jq'au
15 juillet)
 
La communication orale reste le moyen le plus naturel pour dialoguer et
interagir (avec la machine ou avec une autre personne). Le traitement
automatique du langage parl? (TALP) et le dialogue trouvent d?sormais de
nombreuses applications directes dans des domaines divers tels que
(liste non exhaustive) la recherche d'information, l'interaction en
langue naturelle avec des dispositifs mobiles, la robotique sociale, les
technologies d'assistance ? la personne, l'apprentissage des langues,
etc. Cependant, le TALP pose des probl?mes sp?cifiques li?s ? la nature
m?me du mat?riau trait?.  En effet, on est amen? ? traiter des ?nonc?s
de parole plus ou moins spontan?e et contenant de nombreux traits
paralinguistiques. Par exemple, la pr?sence de disfluences orales
(r?p?titions, reprises, incises...) r?duit la r?gularit? syntaxique des
?nonc?s ; les ?nonc?s oraux sont ?galement riches d'informations li?s
aux affects, etc. Par ailleurs, l'?tape de transcription automatique,
souvent n?cessaire avant l'application de traitements de plus haut
niveau (compr?hension, traduction, analyse, etc.) rend des sorties
bruit?es (contenant des erreurs) qui n?cessitent des analyses robustes
et un couplage ?troit entre ?tapes de traitement.
             

Nous invitons donc les contributions portant sur tout aspect
(th?orique, m?thodologique et pratique) relatif au traitement
automatique du langage parl? et ? la communication orale, et en
particulier (liste non exclusive) : 

- Reconnaissance automatique de la parole 
- Compr?hension automatique de la parole
- Traduction de parole
- Synth?se de la parole
- Dialogue oral homme - machine 
- Analyse robuste de la langue parl?e
- Analyse des affects sociaux ou des ?motions dans des ?nonc?s oraux
- Fouille de documents ? composante orale
- Applications ? composantes orales (recherche d'information,
  interaction, robotique, etc)
- Outils d'aide ? l'apprentissage d?une langue seconde
- Aspects multilingues du traitement automatique du langage parl?
- Evaluation de syst?mes de traitement du langage parl?
- Corpus et ressources pour l'oral
- Analyse du discours oral
- Dialogue adaptatif au contexte et au profil de l'utilisateur
- Analyse des traits paralinguistiques dans des ?nonc?s oraux

==========CFP IN ENGLISH============

Special issue on spoken language processing

Guest editors: Laurent Besacier, Wolfgang Minker

 
Speech is the most natural way to communicate and interact (with the
machine or with another person) . Spoken language processing and
dialogue have now many direct applications in various areas such as (but
not limited to) information retrieval, natural language interaction with
mobile devices, social robotics, assistive technologies, technologies
for language learning, etc. .  However, spoken language processing poses
specific problems related to the nature of the speech material
itself. Indeed, spontaneous speech utterances have to be processed and
they contain many paralinguistic features. For instance, disfluencies
(repetitions , false starts, etc.) reduces the syntactic regularity of
utterances.  Moreover, spontaneous utterances convey rich information
related to emotions , etc. Furthermore, automatic speech recognition
(ASR) step, often required before the application of higher level
processing (understanding , translation, analysis, etc.), produces noisy
outputs (with errors ) which require robust and tight coupling between
modules.

We invite contributions on any aspect (theoretical, methodological and
practical) of spoken language processing and oral communication ; in
particular (non-exclusive list):

- Automatic speech recognition
- Spoken language understanding
- Speech translation
- Text-to-Speech synthesis
- Man-machine dialogue
- Robust analysis of spoken language
- Analysis of social affects or emotions in spontaneous speech
- Mining spoken language documents
- Spoken language applications (mobile interaction, robotics, etc. )
- Technologies for language learning
- Multilingual aspects of spoken language processing
- Evaluation for spoken language processing
- Corpora and resources for spoken language
- (Spoken) discourse analysis
- Adaptive dialogue (context, user profile)
- Analysis of paralinguistic features in spoken language

Cher coll?gues, 

Vous trouverez ci-dessous le message de Michael Barr diffus? sur la
liste de th?orie des cat?gories, qui nous fait part de la disparition de
Jim Lambek lundi 23 juin, ? l'?ge de 91 ans.

Pour ceux qui ne sont pas familiers de ses travaux, 
qui concernent les math?matiques, la logique, la linguistique et la
physique: 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_Lambek
 Michael Barr barr at math.mcgill.ca
 2014-06-24 01:55:48 GMT
 I regret to inform you all that Jim died this afternoon.  His son says
 it was congestive heart failure which is as good a way as any to
 describe dying of old age.  He was still coming to seminar last fall
 and celebrated his 91st birthday in December in pretty good shape, but
 has been gradually going downhill since.  I don't believe he came to
 the office since late fall.  He had a good run.

En ce qui concerne la linguistique informatique, il est surtout connu
pour "the mathematics of sentence structure" (1958) qui ?tablit un lien
profond entre grammaire formelle et logique, les grammaires
cat?gorielles, les grammaires de types logiques. Depuis la fin des
ann?es 90, il travaillait sur les grammaires de pr?groupes.

De nombreuses personnes ont travaill? sur le calculd e Lambek: 
J-P Descl?s, M. Eytan, A. Lecomte, et plus r?cemment les ?quipes comme
Calli/S?magramme au LORIA, Signes ? Bordeaux, LALLIC ? Paris 4, et bien
s?r les gens de Montr?al.

D'autres, comme Alain Lecomte ou Fran?ois Lamarche, sont sans
probablement tout autant habilit?s que je le suis ? publier cette
annonce. J'avais fait sa connaissance en 1988 ? un congr?s de logique
cat?gorique ? l'unviersit? Paris 7, puis ? Urbino, nous l'avions invit?
aux conf?rences LACL.
En 2001 l'avais invit? ? un workshop sur l'apprentissage des grammaires
cat?gorielles ? Nantes o? il s'?tait cass? le bras, et depuis il
h?sitait ? traverser l'oc?an pour nous rendre visite (il avait envoy?
son rapport sur mon habilitation, mais avait d?clin? l'invitation).

Un livre d'hommages est sorti pour son 90e anniversaire, 
http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-642-54789-8
et son dernier ouvrage vient de para?tre: 
https://www.novapublishers.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=48156&osCsid=4ae8245ae55e45a5746d463e8be4f53d

Il ?tait tr?s actif jusqu'? l'automne dernier, et d'apr?s ce qu'a dit
son fils, il s'est ?teint en paix, entour? des siens.

Workshop TOTh 2014
------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://porphyre.org/workshop-toth/2014-en

The 2014 TOTh Workshop is organised by the Royal Museums of Art and
History of Brussels within the scope of the European Project
AthenaPlus (www.athenaplus.eu)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Multilingual Thesaurus and Terminology
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brussels - December 5th 2014
The Cinquantenaire MuseumParc du Cinquantenaire 10


The ever-increasing amount of open data and linked data raises questions
concerning its access in a multilingual context. Due to the diversity of
the collections, of the institutions that manage them, of the public
that has access to them and of the technologies currently available, it
is necessary to rethink the notions of thesaurus and terminology, as
well as the ways to manage and access these collections.

Some of the topics that will be covered by the TOTh 2014 Workshop
include (this list is not exhaustive):

Principles, Theories and Methods: Thesauri, Terminology, Ontology,
Controlled Vocabulary, Semantic Network;
Embracing and Managing Multilingualism;
Mapping, Alignment and Harmonisation of terminologies, thesauri,
  ontologies;
Indexing and Research;
The compatibility of the ISO and W3C Standards concerning terminology,
thesauri, knowledge systems and interchange format;
Impact and contributions from new domains and technologies connected
to Knowledge Engineering and the Semantic Web;
Software Environments.
Special attention will be given to the issue of cultural content
  management.


Submission: Abstracts of one or two pages must be sent to:
workshop-toth at porphyre.org

Official languages: English and French

Deadline for submission: September 30th 2014

Information: Eva Coudyzer e.coudyzer at kmkg-mrah.be

1er appel ? communications

Colloque S?n?langues 2015  Langues d?Afrique de l?ouest
24-25 avril 2015
Dakar, S?n?gal
Date limitede soumission: 15 novembre 2014

Site: http://senelangues2015.ucad.sn/
Contact: senelangues2015call at gmail.com

Le projet S?n?langues, financ? par l?Agence Nationale de la Recherche
fran?aise, a r?uni pendant quatre ans des linguistes des laboratoires
LLACAN et DDL du CNRS dans une collaboration avec l?Universit? Cheikh
Anta Diop de Dakar autour d?un ambitieux projet de description et de
documentation des langues du S?n?gal
(http://senelangues.huma-num.fr/). Dans la continuit? de cette
collaboration scientifique, les membres de S?n?langues organisent en
avril 2015 un double ?v?nement, S?n?langues 2015, qui articulera un
colloque sur la description des langues d?Afrique de l?ouest avec une
?cole th?matique sur le m?me th?me. Le colloque S?n?langues 2015-
Langues d?Afrique de l?ouest se tiendra les 24 et 25 avril ?
l?Universit? Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar.

Th?matique du colloque
Stimul?e par divers projets collaboratifs soutenus par diff?rentes
agences ou fondations, la description des langues d?Afrique a pu
b?n?ficier, au cours des derni?res d?cennies, des d?veloppements r?cents
des bonnes pratiques et des ressources informatiques en mati?re
d?analyse linguistique, typologique et documentaire. En ouvrant la
probl?matique de la description linguistique ? toute l?Afrique de
l?ouest, l?objectif de ce colloque est de permettre aux linguistes qui
travaillent sur les langues de cette r?gion de se rencontrer pour faire
le point sur leurs avanc?es scientifiques, partager leurs connaissances,
leur savoir-faire et leurs interrogations, et d?accro?tre ainsi les
connaissances sur les langues de cette r?gion.  Les contributions
attendues doivent porter sur des langues vernaculaires d?Afrique de
l?ouest (cr?oles inclus), sans exclure toutefois la description des
ph?nom?nes de contact avec des langues d?autres familles. Tous les
niveaux de l?analyse linguistique (phonologie, morphologie, syntaxe,
s?mantique, ?nonciation et pragmatique) pourront ?tre abord?s.

Conf?rences pl?ni?res
Denis Creissels, Universit? Lumi?re Lyon 2
Felix Ameka, Universit?de Leiden

Modalit?s de soumission des communications
Les communications pourront se faire sous forme orale (dur?e 20mn
suivies de 10mn de discussion) ou sous forme de poster (dimensions
recommand?es Format A0, H : 1,20 m - L : 0.80 m) dans le cadre d?une
session sp?ciale (par choix des proposants ou d?cision des membres du
comit? de s?lection).

Dans les deux cas, les consignes pour l?envoi des propositions sont les

Colloquium Senelangues 2015  West African Languages
Call for Papers
English Version

First Call for Abstracts

Colloquium Senelangues 2015  West African Languages
24-25 April 2015
Dakar, Senegal
Deadline for submission: 15 November 2014

web site: http://senelangues2015.ucad.sn/
contact:  senelangues2015call at gmail.com

The S?n?langues project (http://senelangues.huma-num.fr/), which aimed
at the description and documentation of the languages of Senegal, was
financed by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche fran?aise for a period
of 4 years, involving linguists from the CNRS laboratories LLACAN and
DDL in collaboration with the University Cheikh Anta Diop of Dakar. This
scientific collaboration continues with the organisation of a double
event, S?n?langues 2015, which consists of a Colloquium on the
description of West African languages, and a thematic school with the
same topic. The Colloque S?n?langues 2015 Langues d?Afrique de l?Ouest
will take place on 24 and 25 April 2015 at the Cheikh Anta Diop
University of Dakar.

Topics of the colloquium
In the last decades, the description of African languages benefited a
lot from the recent developments of good practices in the areas of
information technology and of linguistic analysis including typology and
language documentation.  These developments have been stimulated by
various collaborative projects and funding schemes. The aim of the
Colloquium is to gather linguists working in West Africa so that they
can share each other?s scientific results, insights, know-how and
research questions in order to increase our understanding of the
languages of the region. We welcome contributions on the analysis of
West African languages including Creole languages, as well as on
phenomena of language contact with other language families.
Contributions in all sub-disciplines of linguistic analysis are welcome,
including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics.

Plenary speakers
Denis Creissels, University of Lyon 2
Felix Ameka, Universityof Leiden

How to submit a contribution
Contributions can either be in the form of an oral presentation of 20
minutes + 10 minutes discussion or in the form of a poster presentation
(poster format A0, 120 by 80 cm).  Presenters may indicate their
preference (oral presentation or poster) but the selection committee
reserves the right to do otherwise. For both types of presentation the
abstract should adhere to the following instructions:

- Maximum one page including title, examples and references, using a
  Times 12 point font.
- Send an anonymous version of your abstract in both rtf and pdf formats
  as an attachment to an email message to senelangues2015call at gmail.com
- Use some key words of your title in the name of your pdf-file.
- Mention ?communication Senelangues 2015? in the subject line of the
  email message
- Indicate in the body of your message: surname, first name,
  affiliation, email address, title of your paper, preferred
  presentation (poster or oral)
- The language of presentation should be either French, English or

O projecto S?n?langues, financiado pela Ag?ncia Nacional [Francesa] para
a Pesquisa, reuniu durante quarto anos, linguistas das unidades de
pesquisa LLACAN e DDL do CNRS [Centro Nacional [Franc?s] de Pesquisa
Cient?fica] em parceria com a Universidade Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar no
?mbito dum ambicioso projecto de descri??o e documenta??o das l?nguas de
Senegal (http://senelangues.huma-num.fr/). Na continuidade desta
colabora??o cient?fica, os membros de S?n?langues decidiram organizar em
Abril de 2015 um duplo evento, S?n?langues 2015, que combinar? uma
confer?ncia sobre a descri??o das l?nguas da ?frica Ocidental com um
minicurso dedicado ao mesmo tema. A confer?ncia S?n?langues 2015 L?nguas
da ?frica Ocidental ter? lugar a 24 e 25 de Abril na Universidade Cheikh
Anta Diop de Dakar.

Tem?tica da confer?ncia
Gra?as ao est?mulo de v?rios projectos colaborativos apoiados por
diversas ag?ncias ou funda??es, a descri??o das l?nguas africanas tem
vindo a beneficiar, ao longo das ?ltimas d?cadas, dos desenvolvimentos
recentes das boas pr?ticas e dos recursos inform?ticos no que tange aos
processos de an?lise de cariz lingu?stico, tipol?gico e documental. Ao
abrir a problem?tica da descri??o lingu?stica ao conjunto da ?frica
Ocidental, esta confer?ncia tem como objectivo permeter aos linguistas
que trabalham sobre as l?nguas dessa ?rea encontrarem-se para fazer o
balan?o dos seus avances cient?ficos, compartilharem os seus respectivos
conhecimentos, as suas experi?ncias e d?vidas, assim como favorecer o
aumento dos conhecimentos globais dispon?veis sobre as l?nguas da ?frica
Ocidental.  Esperamos contribui??es que tratem das l?nguas vern?culas da
?frica Ocidental (inclusive os crioulos) e tamb?m estamos interessados
na descri???o dos fen?menos de contactos que se produzem entre estas
l?nguas e idomas de outras familhas. Todos os n?veis da an?lise
lingu?stica (fonologia, morfologia, sintaxe, sem?ntica, enuncia??o e
pragm?tica) ser?o contemplados.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

There has been a lot of progress in the last 15 years in the area of
Arabic Natural Language Processing (NLP). Many Arabic NLP (or Arabic
NLP-related) workshops and conferences have taken place, both in the
Arab World and in association with international conferences. This
workshop follows in the footsteps of previous efforts to provide a forum
for researchers to share and discuss their ongoing work.

We invite submissions on topics that include, but are not limited to,
the following:

* Basic core technologies: morphological analysis, disambiguation,
tokenization, POS tagging, named entity detection, chunking, parsing,
semantic role labeling, sentiment analysis, Arabic dialect modeling,
etc.

* Applications: machine translation, speech recognition, speech
synthesis, optical character recognition, pedagogy, assistive
technologies, social media, etc.

* Resources: dictionaries, annotated data, specialized databases etc.

Submissions may include work in progress as well as finished work.
Submissions must have a clear focus on specific issues pertaining to the
Arabic language whether it is standard Arabic, dialectal, or
mixed. Descriptions of commercial systems are welcome, but authors
should be willing to discuss the details of their work. Submissions are
expected to be 8 pages long plus 2 pages for references.  Associated
with the workshop will be a shared task on Arabic text error correction
(see link to Shared Task Website above).

Subject: Soft: Glozz 2.0 (plate-forme d'annotation)
Message-ID: <TUE.8.JUL.2014.174555.0200.HAMON@LIMSI.FR>

Chers coll?gues,

Nous avons le plaisir de vous annoncer la mise en ligne de la version
2.0.1-beta4 de la plate-forme d'annotation Glozz.

Les principales nouveaut?s sont repertori?es ci-dessous. Soulignons
notamment son passage prochain ? l'open-source, et sa nouvelle
architecture permettant l'ajout de plug-ins (pouvant ?tre d?velopp?s par
la communaut? des utilisateurs).

1) Passage prochain en open source (licence en cours d'?tablissement).

2) M?canisme de plug-ins permettant le d?veloppement d'extensions au
   logiciel sans modifier son noyau. Quiconque peut ainsi d?velopper ses
   propres plug-ins, et ?ventuellement les diffuser, en limitant les
   risques d'incompatibilit?. Nous encourageons les d?veloppeurs
   int?ress?s ? privil?gier la cr?ation de plug-ins plut?t que de
   modifier directement le noyau (quand cela sera possible). Nous
   r?pondrons avec plaisir aux demandes de pr?cisions concernant ces
   aspects.

3) Nouveau plug-in "Concordancer" offrant une vue de type
   concordancier. Cette vue synth?tique permet de consulter rapidement
   des unit?s annot?es dans leur contexte, contexte compos? de texte
   mais aussi ?ventuellement d'autres objets annot?s. Un manuel d?di?
   est disponible sur www.glozz.org

4) G?n?ralisation du principe du "Basket" ? toute l'application et aux
   plug-ins. Il permet ainsi de stocker des annotations sp?cifiquement
   choisies (? la main, en sortie d'une requ?te GlozzQL ou via le
   concordancier), afin de mieux le observer, de les enregistrer dans un
   fichier sp?cifique, ou encore de leur affecter automatiquement un
   couple attribut-valeur. Se reporter au manuel d?di? sur www.glozz.org

5) Raccourcis clavier param?trables (Options/Pr?f?rences/Shortcuts)
   permettant d'annoter rapidement une portion de texte s?lectionn? avec
   une unit? dont le type et les attributs-valeurs sont indiqu?s pour un
   raccourci donn?. Par exemple, une fois un segment de texte
   s?lectionn? ? la souris, la touche "F1" pourra cr?er une unit? de
   type "Nom", avec le trait "genre" ? la valeur "masculin" et le trait
   nombre ? la valeur "singulier", tandis que "F2" pourra ?tre utilis?
   pour un nom f?minin singulier. Ces raccourcis peuvent ?tre
   sauvergard?s et transmis ? d'autres utilisateurs, si bien que le
   responsable de campagne peut d?livrer une configuration pr?te ?
   l'emploi pour tous ses annotateurs.

6) Nouveaux export et import CSV, pour un emploi dans un tableur, et une
   ?ventuelle passerelle vers d'autres applications, en entr?e ou en
   sortie de Glozz.

7) Ajout d'une contrainte "Same Position" dans GlozzQL, qui concerne les
   Units et indique si deux unit?s sont situ?es exactement au m?me
   endroit dans le texte. Cela peut notamment ?tre utile dans le cas o?
   il y a plusieurs couches d'annotation ind?pendantes, et que l'on
   souhaite voir s'il existe des superpositions d'unit?s entre ces
   couches.

8) Interface graphique remani?e. Notamment, utilisation d'onglets pour
   les diff?rents outils rarement utilis?s simultan?ment.

9) Export SQL corrig? et am?lior?.


Vous pourrez r?cup?rer une archive au format TGZ ? l'adresse :
http://www.glozz.org

L'archive contient notamment :
	- le JAR de l'application (glozz-platform.jar) ;
	- le plugin concordancer
          (plugins/concordancer/glozz-concordancer-plugin.jar) ;
	- diff?rents fichiers de test (r?pertoire data/) ;
	- un changelog (CHANGELOG.utf8) indiquant les principales
          ?volutions de cette version et des pr?c?dentes ;
	- un script de lancement destin? aux utilisateurs de Windows
          rencontrant des difficult?s lors de l'utilisation directe des
          JARs (StartGlozz.bat) ;
	- la licence (licence.pdf).

Nous vous rappelons que Glozz dispose de manuels, accessibles sur
www.glozz.org, qui pr?sentent de mani?re d?taill?e et illustr?e la
plupart des fonctionnalit?s disponibles.

N'h?sitez pas ? nous faire part de vos remarques et suggestions
concernant la plate-forme ou son manuel.


Bien cordialement,
Yann Mathet et Antoine Widl?cher

3 PhD Positions in Speech Processing at LIG/Grenoble (France)

The Study Group for Machine Translation and Automated Processing of
Languages and Speech (GETALP) of LIG (Laboratory of Informatics of
Grenoble) offers 3 PhD Positions in Speech Processing. We are looking
for outstanding young research scientists to join the group on several
projects involving speech processing.

Opened Positions

1.  PhD / Automatic speech recognition and machine assisted speech
    annotation for African Languages

You will work in the context of the ALFFA project which is really
interdisciplinary since it not only gathers technology experts (LIG,
LIA, VOXYGEN) but also includes fieldwork linguists/phoneticians
(DDL). The PhD will focus on analysing the capabilities of existing
automatic speech processing systems to investigate phonetic
characteristics of languages or annotate speech (especially on mobile
devices: tablets, glasses, etc) to provide an innovative digital
assistant to the fieldwork linguist.

Start : Fall 2014

Duration : 36 months

Particular aspect : co-supervision with DDL lab in Lyon

2.  PhD / Speech interaction for socio-affective ubiquitous agents and
    robots in ambient assisted living environments

You will work on a research and development project (CASSIE) involving
academic and industrial stakeholders of spoken dialog, assistive
technologies, affectives sciences and social robotics. The PhD objective
is to design a spoken dialogue system that will interact with a user in
her/his home through an ubiquitous (physical and/or virtual) and
personalized agent. This dialogue system will be corpus based, with
iterative machine learning approach hydride with boostrap expert
knowledge (observed from ?intelligent? annotations) from spontaneous and
ecological data collected in real or quasi-real environment (Smart Home)
and situation (real scenario). The system will focus on the
socio-affective dimensions of the interaction (socio-affective prosody,
paralinguistic events, imitation, synchrony etc), especially the
dynamics (timing) of the dialog? One aspect of this PhD will also focus
on the comparison of the same character implemented in robot versus
virtual agent for interaction (epathy aspects, etc.).

Start : Fall 2014

Duration : 36 months

3. PhD / Context-aware spoken dialogue in ambient assisted living
   environments

You will work on a research and development project (CASSIE) involving
academic and industrial stakeholders of spoken dialog, assistive
technologies and social robotics. The PhD objective is to make a social
cyber-physical agent "aware" of its environment by sensors and/or
connected objects. This contextual information will drive the system
interaction (natural language understanding and dialog). The heart of
the research will be to build probabilistic and logical models for
multimodal situation analysis and understanding in a domestic and
multilingual context. For the experimental development and validation,
the research will benefit from the fully-equipped LIG smart home
(DOMUS).

Start : Fall 2014

Duration : 36 months (PhD)

Contact : Francois.Portet at imag.fr & Michel.Vacher at imag.fr

Ecole th?matique
?Description des langues d?Afrique de l?Ouest?

<http://senelangues2015.ucad.sn>http://senelangues2015.ucad.sn

L??cole th?matique ?Description des langues d?Afrique de l?Ouest? se
tiendra ? l?Universit? Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar (S?n?gal), du 20 avril
au 1er mai 2015.

Elle est organis?e par les laboratoires LLACAN et DDL du CNRS en
partenariat avec l?Universit? Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar, dans la
continuit? du projet ANR S?n?langues (http://senelangues.huma-num.fr/).

Les objectifs de cette ?cole sont de profiter des acquis du projet
S?n?langues pour transmettre les derni?res avanc?es th?oriques,
m?thodologiques et technologiques en mati?re de description de langues ?
tradition orale et d?livrer une formation ax?e essentiellement sur des
langues parl?es en Afrique de l?Ouest (langues atlantiques, langues
mand?, cr?oles, mais aussi fran?ais d?Afrique). La perspective de
travail sera avant tout descriptive et typologique. Cette formation de
deux semaines, qui entend compl?ter les formations de Master et de
Doctorat existantes, doit permettre aux stagiaires d?avoir une vue
d?ensemble des diff?rents enjeux scientifiques et cadres d?analyses
existants, des diverses t?ches ? entreprendre, ainsi que des m?thodes et
outils ? disposition lorsque l?on se lance dans la description d?une
langue parl?e en Afrique de l?Ouest. Elle doit ?galement leur donner une
premi?re initiation ? la pratique de terrain.

L??cole th?matique s??tendra sur deux plages de quatre jours chacune
(semaine 1: 20-23 avril 2015; semaine 2: 28 avril 1er mai 2015), entre
lesquelles sera ins?r? un colloque international sur la description des
langues de l?Afrique de l?Ouest (24-25 avril 2014).

Contenu des enseignements
La formation repr?sente un volume total de 53h d?enseignement. Tous les

l?entra?nement, en conditions d?enqu?te de terrain, ? l?analyse
morphosyntaxique, ? la perception et ? la transcription des tons, ou
encore l?utilisation des logiciels de traitement.

La formation est articul?e autour de 3 axes correspondant (1) aux
connaissances de base en linguistique g?n?rale et aux particularit?s
structurelles des langues africaines, (2) aux sp?cificit?s de la
pratique de linguistique de terrain et (3) aux outils, techniques et
m?thodes d?exploitation des donn?es de terrain. Un accent particulier
sera donn? aux langues de la famille atlantique, mais des sp?cialistes
de langues mand?, de cr?oles ? base portugaise et du fran?ais d?Afrique
compl?teront la formation.

Apologies for cross-posting,

Submissions are invited for a special session on "Intelligent and
Evolutionary Systems for Natural Language Processing" of the 18th Asia
Pacific Symposium on Intelligent and Evolutionary Systems (IES'14), to
be held from 10th to 12th November 2014 in Singapore.

RATIONALE
As the Web rapidly evolves, Web users and Web contents are evolving with
it. In an era of social connectedness, people are becoming increasingly
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 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.

To this end, biologically and linguistically motivated computational
paradigms that go beyond syntax are needed. Intelligent and evolutionary
systems potentially have a large future possibility to play an important
role in natural language processing (NLP) research for tasks such as
grammatical evolution, knowledge discovery, and rule learning. In this
light, this Special Session focuses on the introduction, presentation,
and discussion of novel NLP systems that are not merely based on
domain-dependent corpora or word co-occurrence counts, but rather
systems that can be considered intelligent and evolutionary.  The main
motivation for the Special Session, in particular, is to go beyond a
mere word-level analysis of text and provide novel concept-level
approaches to natural language processing that allow a more efficient
passage from (unstructured) textual information to (structured)
machine-processable data, in potentially any domain.

Articles are thus invited in areas such as AI, Semantic Web,
knowledge-based systems, machine learning, and computational
intelligence for NLP research.
Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for information extraction and
  retrieval
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for text summarization and
  visualization
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for topic modeling
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for sentiment analysis
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for knowledge acquisition
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for social network analysis
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for adaptive and transfer
  learning
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for agents and complex systems
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for evolutionary game theory
- Intelligent and evolutionary systems for bioinformatics

The Special Session also welcomes papers on specific application domains
of natural language procesing, e.g., social data mining, influence
networks, customer experience management, computer mediated human-human
communication, social media marketing, multimedia management,
personalization and persuasion, enterprise feedback management,
human-agent, -computer and -robot interaction, intelligent user
interfaces, patient opinion mining, surveillance, art. The authors will
be required to follow the Author's Guide for manuscript submission to
the 18th Asia Pacific Symposium on Intelligent and Evolutionary Systems
(http://ies-2014.org/submission.html).

TIMEFRAME
Submission Deadline: August 1st, 2014
Notification of Acceptance: September 1st, 2014

Jouez (et faites jouer) ? Zombilingo : 
http://zombilingo.loria.fr/ 

Zombilingo est un jeu ayant un but (ou Game With A Purpose) permettant
d?annoter des corpus en syntaxe de d?pendances. 
Les annotations cr??es sont librement disponibles sur le site du jeu. 

La production de ressources linguistiques de grande taille est tr?s
co?teuse, en particulier en main d??uvre. Ainsi, le co?t d?annotation du
Prague Dependency Treebank a ?t? estim? ? 600 000 dollars (B?hmov? et
al., 2001). Une alternative pour produire des ressources est
l?utilisation de la myriadisation (crowdsourcing), c?est-?-dire le
recours ? la "foule" pour r?aliser une t?che. Les jeux ayant un but, par
exemple, ont ?t? utilis?s pour diff?rentes t?ches en TAL : JeuxDeMots
(Lafourcade, 2007) a pour but de cr?er un r?seau lexical ; Phrase
Detectives (Chamberlain et al., 2008) fait annoter un corpus en
anaphores. Ces deux jeux ont eu un succ?s consid?rable et ont permis de
cr?er des ressources de qualit? raisonnable pour un co?t r?duit. Le
premier fait appel au sens commun et le deuxi?me ? des connaissances
scolaires. Dans d?autres domaines, il a ?t? possible d?utiliser un jeu
pour des t?ches nettement plus complexes et qui n?cessitent une
formation des personnes qui participent. Ainsi, dans FoldIt (Cooper et
al., 2010) les joueurs doivent manipuler des repr?sentations 3D de
prot?ines pour ?tudier la fa?on dont elle peuvent interagir. Zombilingo
est inspir? de ces succ?s et a pour but de faire r?aliser ? des joueurs
une t?che de TAL r?put?e complexe : annoter des d?pendances syntaxiques.

Translating and the Computer ? 36, London, 27/28 November 2014

Translating and the Computer attracts a unique amalgam of researchers,
developers and users. It brings together academics involved in language
technology research and in teaching translation and terminology with
those who develop and market tools for language transformation and both
of these groups with users: translators, terminologists, interpreters,
and voice-over specialists, whether freelancers or working in
translation departments of large organisations such as those of the
European Parliament, European courts and the European Patent Office, the
United Nations family, international companies and other organisations,
and Language Services Providers (LSPs), large and small.

First the Computer, then the Internet and more recently the Cloud, are
changing and remodelling expectations and processes in the Language and
Localization industries. These changes are accompanied by new
requirements for standards and interoperability. The digital age is
modifying the concept of text and quality. Content is a key item
together with strings, chunks, segments and words.

In its 36th session Translating and the Computer has moved from ASLIB to

Postdoc position available at GREYC - University of Caen Basse-Normandie
- France

Event prediction for dialogue modelling in embodied conversational agent

Location: Caen (France)
Duration: 15 months (potentially 18 months)
Keywords: sequence mining, knowledge discovery, event prediction, 
dialogue modelling

Description of the task:

Designing a model of dialogue is a difficult and often multidisciplinary
task. Whether it is dedicated to interactive storytelling or not, it
involves many algorithms: multi-modal input recognition (utterances,
gestures, gazes, vocal inflections), natural language understanding and
generation, dialogue management, planning and cognitive capacities,
emotion modelling, prosodic speech generation, non-verbal behavior.

In this context, the post-doc fellow?s research will focus on designing
algorithms for modelling the interactions (turn of speech) during the
conversation, starting from real data gathered during dialogues between
adult (or Wizard of Oz) and child, that are annotated by
psychologists. This task can be viewed as predicting a particular event
in a sequence of itemsets. The model of the dialogue will be implemented
in an embodied conversational agent.

Application:
The candidate must prepare a detailed CV including a complete
bibliography, a motivation letter and recommendation letters as a single
pdf file. This file should be sent by email to the contact below. French
people may apply using French language.

Cher-e-s Coll?gues, Dear Colleagues,

Veuillez trouver ci-dessous l'appel ? communication du colloque TRELA
2015: Terrains de Recherche en Linguistique Appliqu?e (Universit? Paris
Diderot du 8 au 10 juillet 2015). 

PLease find below the CFP tp the TRELA 2015 Conference: Areas of
Research in Applied Linguistics (Paris Diderot University, Paris,
France, 8-10 July, 2015:

Aujourd'hui, au vingt et uni?me si?cle, la linguistique appliqu?e est
une discipline riche qui se d?cline en de multiples domaines, par
ailleurs li?s aux traditions scientifiques des divers pays dans lesquels
elle s'est d?velopp?e: acquisition / apprentissage, bi- /
plurilinguisme, didactique des langues, lexicographie, linguistique de
corpus, terminologie, traductologie, traitement automatique des langues,
variation linguistique. Pourtant, les terrains de recherche de ces
disciplines ou domaines sont souvent communs. On le voit dans ce que
recouvrent les d?nominations dans d'autres langues, comme /applied
linguistics/ en anglais, /angewandte Linguistik/ en allemand ou
/Ling??stica aplicada/en espagnol. Le vingt et uni?me si?cle est celui
de la transdisciplinarit? et de la pluridisciplinarit?, comme le montre
l'?mergence de nombreux domaines pluri- ou transdisciplinaires,
combinant sciences humaines et sciences exactes par exemple. La
linguistique appliqu?e, par les terrains de recherche qu'elle parcourt,
accompagne le d?veloppement incontournable de cette pluridisciplinarit?.
Ce faisant, elle d?montre qu'elle ne consiste pas en la seule
application de connaissances th?oriques mais qu'elle permet l'?mergence
de nouveaux champs d'investigation qui viennent alimenter la r?flexion
en sciences du langage.

L'objectif du colloque international /TRELA/, qui s'inscrit dans la
suite de la r?flexion engag?e lors du colloque CRELA ? Nancy en 2013,
est de permettre aux chercheurs et autres acteurs des diff?rents
domaines de la linguistique appliqu?e de se rencontrer sur des enjeux de
recherche partag?s, amenant ainsi ? offrir un ?clairage
pluridisciplinaire ou transdisciplinaire sur des probl?matiques
crois?es. Dans cette perspective sont attendues des communications
portant sur l'un des cinq axes suivants :

- Notion de ? terrain ? en linguistique appliqu?e (analyse multicrit?res
  de terrains sp?cifiques, analyse comparative de terrains)

- Linguistique appliqu?e et sciences du langage: o? situer le terrain ?
  Les terrains se croisent-ils ?

- Mod?lisation et approches th?oriques multiples (combiner plusieurs
  approches pour ?tudier le m?me terrain)

- Ressources, outils et m?thodologies d'approche du terrain

- Linguistique appliqu?e et linguistique th?orique : comment construire
  la compl?mentarit? ? Interrogations ?pist?mologiques face ? une
  compl?mentarit? ?vidente ?

- Croisements entre linguistique appliqu?e et traductologie: une
  approche hybride?

Ech?ance : 15 octobre 2014

Notification : 20 janvier 2015


======================English CFP=======================

*Paris 8-10 July 2015*

Applied Linguistics in the 21^st Century is a rich and varied
discipline, with many sub-domains. Each of these has its own research
tradition, often associated with the particular countries in which it
developed: language acquisition / learning, bi- and multi-lingualism,
didactics, lexicography, corpus linguistics, terminology, translation
studies, computational linguistics, variation, etc. However, these
disciplines often share similar research fields. A prime example of this
to look at the areas covered by the term /Applied Linguistics /and its
equivalents /linguistique appliqu?e/, /angewandte Linguistik/,
/Ling??stica aplicada/ in their respective languages.

Transdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity are trademarks of the 21^st
Century, as can be seen in the emergence of so many multi- or
transdisciplinary fields, including examples which combine 'humanities'
and 'pure sciences'. Applied Linguistics, because of the variety of
fields which it is involved in, has followed the inexorable development
of this process of hybridization. Furthermore, the practice of Applied
Linguistics has come to involve not only the application of theoretical
knowledge, but also the emergence of new fields of investigation, which
then feed back into current debates within the language sciences.

The aim of the international conference TRELA is to follow up on the
CRELA conference in Nancy 2013, and to allow researchers and other
practitioners in the different fields of Applied Linguistics to discuss
and debate issues relating to common areas of research, pooling ideas on
these topics from a multidisciplinary or transdisciplinary perspective.
To this end, we invite submissions on any of the following areas:

- The notion of 'area' or 'field' in Applied Linguistics (multicritieral
  analysis in specific areas, comparative analysis of different fields,
  etc.)

- Applied Linguistics and Linguistics:Are they two distinct'areas' or a
  single 'field' or can they not be divided?

- Models and multiple-theory approaches (combining several approaches to
  explore the same area)

- Resources, tools and methodologies to explore an 'area' (or conduct
  'field' work).

- Applied Linguistics and Theoretical Linguistics: building a
  complementary approach? And what are the epistemological issues raised
  by obvious complementary?

Deadline for proposals: 15 October 2014

Notification: 20 January 2015

Dans le cadre du projet ANR Asfalda, nous proposons un contrat
post-doctoral pour travailler avec le partenaire IRIT du projet, ?
l'Universit? Paul Sabatier (Toulouse).
Le projet Asfalda a pour objectif de d?velopper un corpus annot?
s?mantiquement, et des outils de traitement automatique pour l'analyse
s?mantique, utilisant les corpus constitu?s durant le projet. Les
annotations s?mantiques s'appuient sur le standard FrameNet.
Framenet d?finit un ensemble de cadres s?mantiques, des situations
prototypiques et la caract?risation de leurs participants. Les cadres
sont reli?s entre eux dans une structure hi?rarchique enrichie par des
liens s?mantiques de natures diverses.  L'objectif du post-doc est
d'enrichir cette structure, qui est pour l'instant peu dense. Les
relations entre frames ainsi cr??es sont utiles pour l'analyse
discursive, et pour compl?ter les annotations s?mantiques de structures
de cadres partiellement connect?es en contexte. Ceci se fera en deux
temps: premi?rement en se concentrant sur des liens typiques entre types
de lemmes impliqu?s dans les cadres consid?r?s, ? partir d'approches non
supervis?es sur corpus, deuxi?mement en d?sambiguisant les lemmes reli?s
pour identifier simultan?ment les frames reli?s dans leurs contextes
d'apparition, ainsi que les liens entre leurs participants.  Cette ?tape
s'appuiera sur les outils d'annotation d?velopp?s dans les autres t?ches
du projet, et les donn?es annot?es collect?es.

Nous recherchons des candidats avec des comp?tences en Traitement
Automatique des Langues, en apprentissage automatique, et id?alement une
expertise sur les th?matiques du projet.


Mots-clefs: semantic role labelling, analyse du discours, s?mantique
lexicale

Coordinateur du projet: Marie Candito, Alpage, Univ Paris Diderot &
INRIA https://sites.google.com/site/anrasfalda/

Nous accepterons les candidatures jusqu'au 31 aout 2014.

P?riode: 1 an, d?marrage 1er octobre 2014.

Salaire brut: 3413?/mois (~ 2730 net)

Chers coll?gues,

j'ai le plaisir de vous annonc? que j'ai soutenu ma th?se intitul?e
"S?mantique des temps du fran?ais: une formalisation compositionnelle"
le 23 juin dernier au LaBRI. Le manuscrit peut ?tre consult? ? l'adresse
suivante: https://sites.google.com/site/nlplefeuvreanais/home/manuscrit

R?sum?:

Cette th?se s?inscrit dans le cadre du projet R?gion Aquitaine - INRIA :
ITIPY. Ce projet vise l?extraction automatique d?itin?raires ? partir de
r?cits de voyage en milieu pyr?n?en du XIX?me et du d?but du XX?me
si?cle. Notre premier travail fut de caract?riser le corpus comme
?chantillon du fran?ais, par une ?tude contrastive d?une part de donn?es
quantitatives et d?autre part de la structure des r?cits de voyage. Nous
nous sommes ensuite consacr?e ? l??tude du temps, et plus
particuli?rement ? l?analyse automatique de la s?mantique des temps
verbaux du fran?ais. Disposant d?un analyseur syntaxique et s?mantique ?
large ?chelle du fran?ais, bas? sur les grammaires cat?gorielles et la
s?mantique compositionnelle (?-DRT), notre t?che a ?t? de prendre en
compte les temps des verbes pour reconstituer la temporalit? des
?v?nements et des ?tats, notions regroup?es sous le termes
d??ventualit?. Cette th?se se concentre sur la construction d?un lexique
s?mantique traitant des temps verbaux du fran?ais. Nous proposons une
extension et une adaptation d?un syst?me d?op?rateurs compositionnels
con?u pour les temps du verbe anglais, aux temps et ? l?aspect du verbe
fran?ais du XIX?me si?cle ? nos jours.  Cette formalisation est de facto
op?rationnelle, car elle est d?finie en terme d?op?rateurs du ?-calcul
dont la composition et la r?duction, d?j? programm?es, calculent
automatiquement les repr?sentations s?mantiques souhait?es, des formules
multisortes de la logique d?ordre sup?rieur. Le passage de l??nonc?
comportant une ?ventualit? seule au discours, dont le maillage
r?f?rentiel est complexe, est discut? et nous concluons par les
perspectives qu?ouvre nos travaux pour l?analyse du discours.

(Directeur de Recherches ? EL COLEGIO DE MEXICO (http://www.colmex.mx))

Towards an Online Rhyming Dictionary for Mexican Spanish.

Rhyming dictionaries are a kind of reverse dictionaries. They group
words according to rhyming patterns. Rhymes can share exact sequences of
vowel and consonant sounds towards the end of a word (consonant rhyme)
or just similar vowel sounds (assonant rhyme). Thus, these dictionaries
are based on pronunciation, not on writing patterns. Also, since
consonance and assonance depend on the stressed syllable, words which
end with a stressed syllable are grouped together, those whose stressed
syllable is the next to last appear together, and so on.

In addition, word pronunciation may vary with time and across
geographical and social dialects. In Spanish, this is particularly clear
when word loans (for instance, Anglicisms and Galicisms) are
considered. In fact, they tend to keep their original writing, at least
in the Mexican variant which is the most spoken one. For example, the
following loan words, common in Mexican Spanish, rhyme: flash, collage,
garage, cottage, squash. Their last syllable is stressed and they are
ordered in reverse according to their sounds and not their letters:
(respectively, /fl??/, /ko.l??/, /ga.r??/, /ko.t??/ and /es.kw??/).

The project described takes the current nomenclature of the Diccionario
del espa?ol de M?xico (http://dem.colmex.mx/) to generate automatically
a rhyming dictionary. Also, since the results of an online query to such
a dictionary can be quite large, a procedure was developed to rank them
semantically. The idea is to measure the similarities of the query
definition to each of the definitions of the rhyming words. These words
are then ordered from highest to lowest similarity to the query.

Chers coll?gues et autres destinataires,

Un nouvel appel ? communications, cette fois non seulement pour faire le
point sur les avatars de la terminologie, cette discipline voisine et
soeur de la traduction, mais aussi pour rendre hommage ? notre coll?gue
John Humbley, qui en est une des figures ?minentes :

*Quo Vadis, Terminologia ?*, donc *Colloque international en hommage ? 
John Humbley*
Site Web: http://quovadis.clillac-arp.univ-paris-diderot.fr/index
Dates : 18-20 f?vrier 2015, 
Date limite d'envoi des propositions : 15 septembre 2014,
Notification: 20 d?cembre 2014

Depuis sa naissance, notamment sous l?impulsion de Eugen W?ster, la
terminologie a connu maintes ?volutions, tant techniques que
conceptuelles. Elle s?est trouv?e appliqu?e ? une multitude
d?applications, de la politique linguistique ? l?indexation du web, qui
l?ont amen?e tout ? tour ? se confronter ou ? s?hybrider ? une grande
vari?t? de disciplines : lexicographie, traduction, r?daction
technique... Plus frappant, encore, elle a donn? lieu ? des controverses
de haute vol?e scientifique, par exemple sur l?h?ritage v?ritable de son
fondateur, sur la source ? privil?gier dans la recherche d?informations,
sur son caract?re descriptif ou normatif ou encore sur son rapport avec
l?ontologie. Elle nous para?t en particulier voisine de la traduction,
en ceci que l?une et l?autre sont, comme l?auteur chez Flaubert, ?
pr?sent[es] partout et visible[s] nulle part ?. Comme elle, son histoire
est intimement li?e ? celle du fait national, puisque la survie ou
l??mergence d?une langue tient ? la capacit? de cette derni?re de nommer
la totalit? des objets du r?el (Michel Serres). Tout le monde fait de la
terminologie, utilise la terminologie, mais souvent avec une forme
d?ignorance qui va de la franche na?vet? au franc d?ni. On pourrait
d?ailleurs en dire de m?me de la linguistique de corpus ? laquelle la
terminologie s?est intimement li?e ces deux derni?res d?cennies dans une
approche contextuelle, ch?re aux contextualistes britanniques, et non
plus seulement conceptuelle. De la bo?te ? chaussures de jadis aux
corpus et aux bases informatiques d?aujourd?hui, qui seront demain
interconnect?es, on ne classe plus, on n?ordonne plus les donn?es du
savoir sp?cialis?, c?est-?-dire les concepts et les termes, ainsi que
les relations qui les unissent comme on le faisait par le pass?.

Autant de raison pour organiser un colloque international et
pluridisciplinaire pour poser, avec des sp?cialistes de ces diff?rents
domaines, la question de l?unit? de la ou des terminologies, pour faire
le point sur ces diverses branches, ces diverses hybridations et pour en
discerner les perspectives de d?veloppement.

Et s?il fallait chercher un point de contact, un ?l?ment unificateur,
une boussole dans cet oc?an terminologique, peut-?tre faudrait-il se
tourner, par-del? les aspects scientifiques, vers une personnalit?, dont
le nom serait susceptible de faire r?f?rence dans chacun de ces champs.
Un nom s?impose ici : John Humbley. Par l?extr?me richesse de ses
travaux sur les multiples domaines cit?s plus haut, par la diversit? de
son exp?rience professionnelle et institutionnelle, par les contacts
qu?il a nou?s et qu?il entretient ? l??chelle de la plan?te, par sa
hauteur de vue et sa disponibilit? sur tous ces aspects, par sa
participation ? une multitude de comit?s de lecture, notre coll?gue John
Humbley est et a ?t? un acteur et un t?moin de premier plan dans ces
bouleversements. C?est en hommage ? sa personne et ? son ?uvre que nous
avons d?cid? d?organiser ce grand colloque international, dont les
fruits feront, apr?s passage en comit? de lecture, l?objet d?un num?ro
th?matique dans une prestigieuse revue internationale de traductologie
et de terminologie.

Les communications portant sur les sujets suivants et int?grant les
travaux de John Humbley seront les bienvenues:

   * l'h?ritage de W?ster aujourd'hui
   * l'apport de la linguistique de corpus dans l'?volution de la 
     terminologie
   * l'apport de la phras?ologie dans l'?volution des ?tudes en 
     terminologie
   * terminologie et traduction sp?cialis?e
   * terminologie et r?daction technique
   * la n?ologie dans les langues de sp?cialit?

                    [Apologies for cross-postings]

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

       PHD STUDENTSHIP in  NATURAL LANGUAGE GENERATION

         Starting date: Fall 2014  Duration: 3 years

         Deadline for Application: Open until Filled

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Research Group in Computational Linguistics, Synalp/LORIA in Nancy
(France) invites applications for a three-year-funded PhD studentship in
Computational Linguistics.

Theme: Data-to-Text Generation
Funded by the ITEA ModelWriter Project
Main topic: Natural Language Generation for the Semantic Web

Description: There is a growing need in the semantic web (SW) community
for technologies that give humans easy access to the machine-oriented
Web of data. Because it maps data to text, Natural Language Generation
(NLG) provides a natural mean for presenting this data in an organized,
coherent and accessible way. Conversely, the representation languages
used by the semantic web (e.g., OWL ontologies and RDF data) are a
natural starting ground for NLG systems. The aim of the PhD thesis will
be to explore the interaction between the semantic web, the textual web
and Natural Language Generation (NLG). More precisely, the goal will be
to develop generic weakly supervised methods for generating text from
semantic web data in particular, content selection and verbalisation
methods.

The project will build on an ongoing collaboration between LORIA (Nancy,
France), the KRDB group at (Bolzano, Italy) and Stanford Research
International (USA), bringing together high level academic partners with
internationally recognised expertise in both NLG (LORIA) and knowledge
processing (KRDB, SRI).

Profile: We are looking for outstanding young research scientists with a
good honours degree in Computational Linguistics or Computer Science,
with programming skills and with a strong interest in Natural Language
Processing.

 Required skills:
 - Master's degree in Computational Linguistics or Computer Science
 - experience in Natural Language Processing
 - good command of the English language

 Desirable skills:
 - experience in natural language generation

Supervisor:
- Claire Gardent, http://www.loria.fr/~gardent/

Research Environment: LORIA is a computer science research unit which
conducts most of its scientific activities in partnership with the Inria
Nancy - Grand-Est Centre, the French National Centre for Scientific
Research (CNRS), the University of Lorraine. We also maintain close ties
with research institutes and universities from the wider region, notably
in Saarbr?cken and Luxembourg. With around 500 staff and 27 research
teams, it is one of the biggest research unit in Lorraine. It conducts
research in Algorithms, Computation, Image & Geometry; Formal methods;
Networks, Systems and Services; Knowledge & Natural Language Processing;
and Complex Systems & Artificial Intelligence.

The PhD will be funded by the ITEA3 ModelWriter project
(https://itea3.org/project/modelwriter-1.html) for a period of 36
months.  Including industrial and academic partners from France, Belgium
and Turkey, this projects targets the Development of an integrated
authoring environment combining a semantic parser, a data-to-text
generator and Knowledge Capture Tools.

The PhD Candidate will be working in collaboration with the members of
the Synalp team (http://talc1.loria.fr/synalp/stories/about.html), a
Research Group in Computational Linguistics. Synalp research focuses on
hybrid, symbolic and statistical approaches to natural language
processing and applications built thereon, including NLP for Man-Machine
Dialog, for language learning and for Data Verbalisation.

Location: Nancy (http://en.nancy-tourisme.fr/) is a high-tech city
located at the heart of the Lorraine Region, in outstanding scientific
and natural surroundings. It is 1h30 by train from Paris, Germany and
Luxemburg and 1h from Paris Roissy international airport.

 AIM AND SCOPE

 Environmental and more generally geo-spatial information is now
 provided by crowdsourcing but also by public administrations in the
 context of the open data policies. Analyses of such data are still
 challenging. Firstly because of their heterogeneity (structural,
 semantic, spatial and temporal), and secondly because of the difficulty
 in choosing the ?best? knowledge discovery process to apply, according
 to the needs of the experts in the field. This special session aims at
 discussing and assessing some of these strategies covering all or part
 of the issues mentioned above, from a theoretical or experimental point
 of view.

 TOPICS

 - Pre and Post Data processing
 - Data Quality, Result Evaluation
 - Data Mining or Data Warehousing Applications
 - Text-Mining
 - Visual Analytics
 - KDD real use-cases

 dedicated to environmental and geo-spatial Data

 PAPER SUBMISSION

 - Papers should be submitted by DSAA submission site choosing Special
   Session on "Environmental and geo-spatial data analytics (EnGeoData)"
   before 22nd July 2014 (PST).
 - Conference paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of seven
   (7) pages, in the IEEE 2-column format (see the IEEE Proceedings
   Author Guidelines:
   http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html).
 - All submissions will be blind reviewed by the Program Committee on
   the basis of technical quality, relevance to conference topics of
   interest, originality, significance, and clarity. Author names and
   affiliations must not appear in the submissions, and bibliographic
   references must be adjusted to preserve author anonymity.
 - Accepted conference papers will be published in the conference
   proceedings by IEEE and included into the IEEE Xplore Digital Library
   and will be submitted for EI indexing through INSPEC by IEEE.

EXTENDED DEADLINE: July 25, 2014 

Second International Workshop on Definitions in Ontologies (DO 2014) at
the International Conference on Biomedical Ontologies (ICBO 2014)

October 6-7, 2014
Houston, USA

Website: https://sites.google.com/site/definitionsinontologies/

This workshop is a follow-up to the workshop on Definitions in
Ontologies (DO 2013) held last year in Montreal in conjunction with ICBO
2013. The focus of this second workshop is on definition practices in
either human or machine-assisted ontology development.

PRESENTATION
A current problem in ontology development is constructing the needed
definitions of terms either logical or in natural language. For example,
ontologies built using OBO Foundry principles are advised to include
both logical and natural language definitions, but ontology developers
too often focus on only one of these, or they pay insufficient attention
to whether they are equivalent.

Explicit definitions of terms in ontologies serve a number of
purposes. Logical definitions allow reasoners to create inferred
hierarchies, lessening the burden of asserting and checking the validity
of subsumptions. Natural language definitions help to ameliorate the
pervasive problem of low inter-annotator agreement. In specialized
domains, experts will know their own field well, but may only have
limited knowledge of adjacent disciplines. Good definitions make it
possible for non-experts to understand unfamiliar terms and thereby make
it possible for more confident reuse of terms by external ontologies,
which in turn facilitates data integration.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together interested researchers
and developers to explore these issues by presenting case studies in a
biomedical domain discussing the difficulties that arise when
constructing definitions with a view to sharing strategies in the
future. Even in the seemingly narrow domain of definition construction,
cross-fertilization from related disciplines should yield benefits in
quality and help to identify novel approaches.

Papers submitted should include one or more case studies and raise
specific questions related to definitions with a link to a biomedical
domain. Reports on successful or unsuccessful methods are both
appropriate.

TOPICS
- experiences in formulating definitions
- tools that assist in definition editing, including collaborative
  systems
- coordination of logical and textual definitions
- validation and quality control of definitions, e.g., checking that
  definitions comply with the all/some form
- methods for constructing definitions from multiple sources
- use of controlled languages such as Rabbit or ACE for more
  user-friendly logical definition creation
- use of templates to systematize definition creation

FORMAT AND OUTCOMES
This will be a half-day workshop with a selected mix of presentations
based on accepted papers. In order to promote discussion, each
presentation will be followed by a short response by a participant of
the workshop to be arranged in advance of the workshop.

This workshop will document findings on the workshop?s website
(https://sites.google.com/site/definitionsinontologies/). We expect
accepted papers to be published in the Journal of Biomedical Semantics
(JBS).

INTENDED AUDIENCE
- ontologists, tool developers, and domain experts whose work encounters
  issues regarding definitions
- tool developers building definition- or ontology-authoring tools
- philosophers and logicians
- biomedical researchers working on definitions in nomenclatures such as
  SNOMED
- computer scientists addressing these issues in languages like OWL
- NLP researchers working on definition extraction, generation, or
  checking
- NLP/IR researchers reusing definitions produced for ontologies

SUBMISSIONS
All papers should include one or more case studies and raise specific
questions related to definitions with a link to a biomedical domain.
Papers should be between 5 and 10 pages long (rendered), excluding
references, formatted using the JBS templates at
http://www.jbiomedsem.com/authors/instructions/research#preparing-main-manuscript,
and submitted via EasyChair
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=do2014).

The workshop on Tools and Resources for Automatically Processing
Portuguese and Spanish aims to be a forum for the presentation and
discussion of language-specific developments for Portuguese and
Spanish. We expect to join together researchers and developers with a
focus on the creation of tools and linguistic resources for these two
languages.

A special interest of the workshop is to facilitate access to
technologies and resources that are specific to Portuguese and
Spanish. We intend that the workshop will contribute to make tools and
resources easily available to the local community. To that aim, we
encourage submissions that are oriented to simplify the integration of a
given tool or resource to address specific needs in these
regions. Detailed descriptions, motivation of utility with specific
scenarios, even tutorial-like approaches will be highly appreciated. All
workshop-related materials will be readily available from the workshop
webpage, to promote adoption.

Important Dates:

*****************************************************************
ELRA - Language Resources Catalogue - Update
*****************************************************************

We are happy to announce that 3 new Speech resources are now available
in our catalogue.

*ELRA-S0366 LECTRA (LECture TRAnscriptions in European Portuguese)*
This corpus is composed of the audio and the manual transcriptions from
seven 1-semester University courses in Portuguese. The corpus contains a
total of 28 hours of audio speech that were manually transcribed by
several trained annotators. The corpus is comprised of technical
University lectures.
For more information, see: 
http://catalog.elra.info/product_info.php?products_id=1221

*ELRA-S0367 CORAL Corpus*
The CORAL Corpus is a collection of spoken dialogues in European 
Portuguese. It consists of 56 dialogues about a predetermined subject: 
maps. One of the participants (giver) has a map with some landmarks and 
a route drawn between them; the other (follower) has also landmarks, but 
no route and consequently must reconstruct it. Only orthographic 
transcription was done for the whole corpus. A pilot recording was 
annotated in several levels.
For more information, see: 
http://catalog.elra.info/product_info.php?products_id=1222

*ELRA-S0370 MoveOn Speech and Noise Corpus*
The MoveOn Speech and Noise Corpus is a corpus recorded under the
extreme conditions of the motorcycle environment within the MoveOn
project. The speech utterances are in British English approaching the
issue of command and control and template driven dialog systems with a
focus on -- but not limited to - the police domain. The major part of
the corpus comprises noisy speech and environmental noise recorded on a
motorcycle. Several clean speech recording sessions with the same
recording setup (including the motorcycle helmet) in an office
environment complete the corpus.

Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8)
EMNLP 2014 / SIGMT / SIGLEX Workshop
Oct 2014, Doha, Qatar
http://www.cse.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/

*** Special theme: Compositional Distributional Semantics and Machine
    Translation ***

The Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8) seeks to bring together a large number of
researchers working on diverse aspects of structure, semantics and
representation in relation to statistical machine translation. Since its
first edition in 2006, 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.

We invite two types of submissions this year:

1. Extended abstracts for poster or hands-on presentations on the
   special theme
2. Full papers spanning all areas of interest for SSST

===========================
Special Theme Extended Abstracts
===========================

This year, the special theme of semantics of the past three editions of
SSST takes a new step with a "working workshop" bringing together
researchers interested in compositional distributional semantics,
distributed representations, and continuous vector space models in MT,
with tutorials bridging both directions, as well as discussions and
hands-on work on relevant tasks with real data. Such models have proven
beneficial for a number of NLP tasks, for example phrasal similarity,
lexical entailment, modeling semantic deviance, detecting order
restrictions in recursive structures, or improving NP bracketing in
parsing. However, they have not received as much attention in MT.

Extended abstracts of at most two (2) pages should describe poster or
hands-on presentations that will stimulate discussions on the special
theme of compositional distributional semantics and machine translation,
including position papers, recent work, pilot studies, negative
results. We encourage the presentation of relevant work that has been
published or submitted elsewhere, as well as new work in progress.

=========
Full Papers
=========

The need for structural mappings between languages is widely recognized
in the fields of statistical machine translation and spoken language
translation, and there is now wide consensus that these mappings are
appropriately represented using a family of formalisms that includes
synchronous/transduction grammars and similar notational 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 three editions which had semantics for SMT as a special
theme. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely
linked and SSST-8 continues to encourage submissions on semantics for MT
in a number of directions, including semantic role labeling, sense
disambiguation, and compositional distributional semantics 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
   compositional distributional semantics in MT
   distributed representations and continuous vector space models in MT

LOCATION

Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic with a population
of almost 400.000 and is the country's judiciary and trade-fair
center. Brno is the capital of South Moravia, which is located in the
south-east part of the Czech Republic and is known for a wide range of
cultural, natural, and technical sights.  South Moravia is a traditional
wine region. Brno had been a Royal City since 1347 and with its six
universities it forms a cultural center of the region.

Brno can be reached easily by direct flights from London, Moscow, and
Eindhoven, and by trains or buses from Prague (200 km) or Vienna (130
km).

For the participants with some extra time, nearby places may also be of
interest.  Local ones include: Brno Castle now called Spilberk, Veveri
Castle, the Old and New City Halls, the Augustine Monastery with
St. Thomas Church and crypt of Moravian Margraves, Church of St.  James,
Cathedral of St. Peter & Paul, Cartesian Monastery in Kralovo Pole, the
famous Villa Tugendhat designed by Mies van der Rohe along with other
important buildings of between-war Czech architecture.

For those willing to venture out of Brno, Moravian Karst with Macocha
Chasm and Punkva caves, battlefield of the Battle of three emperors
(Napoleon, Russian Alexander and Austrian Franz - Battle by Austerlitz),
Chateau of Slavkov (Austerlitz), Pernstejn Castle, Buchlov Castle,
Lednice Chateau, Buchlovice Chateau, Letovice Chateau, Mikulov with one
of the largest Jewish cemeteries in Central Europe, Telc - a town on the
UNESCO heritage list, and many others are all within easy reach.

Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8)
EMNLP 2014 / SIGMT / SIGLEX Workshop
Oct 2014, Doha, Qatar
http://www.cse.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/

* Special theme: Compositional Distributional Semantics and Machine
  Translation *

The Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8) seeks to bring together a large number of
researchers working on diverse aspects of structure, semantics and
representation in relation to statistical machine translation. Since its
first edition in 2006, 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.

We invite two types of submissions this year:

1. Extended abstracts for poster or hands-on presentations on the
   special theme
2. Full papers spanning all areas of interest for SSST

===========================
Special Theme Extended Abstracts
===========================

This year, the special theme of semantics of the past three editions of
SSST takes a new step with a "working workshop" bringing together
researchers interested in compositional distributional semantics,
distributed representations, and continuous vector space models in MT,
with tutorials bridging both directions, as well as discussions and
hands-on work on relevant tasks with real data. Such models have proven
beneficial for a number of NLP tasks, for example phrasal similarity,
lexical entailment, modeling semantic deviance, detecting order
restrictions in recursive structures, or improving NP bracketing in
parsing. However, they have not received as much attention in MT.

Extended abstracts of at most two (2) pages should describe poster or
hands-on presentations that will stimulate discussions on the special
theme of compositional distributional semantics and machine translation,
including position papers, recent work, pilot studies, negative
results. We encourage the presentation of relevant work that has been
published or submitted elsewhere, as well as new work in progress.

=========
Full Papers
=========

The need for structural mappings between languages is widely recognized
in the fields of statistical machine translation and spoken language
translation, and there is now wide consensus that these mappings are
appropriately represented using a family of formalisms that includes
synchronous/transduction grammars and similar notational 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 three editions which had semantics for SMT as a special
theme. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely
linked and SSST-8 continues to encourage submissions on semantics for MT
in a number of directions, including semantic role labeling, sense
disambiguation, and compositional distributional semantics 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
   compositional distributional semantics in MT
   distributed representations and continuous vector space models in MT

Apologies for cross postings

8th Workshop on Geographic Information Retrieval GIR'14

Second Call for Papers

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

http://www.geo.uzh.ch/~rsp/gir14/

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

This is the second call for papers for the 8th Workshop on Geographic
Information Retrieval (GIR'14), to be held on 4th November 2014 in
conjunction with the ACM SIGSPATIAL 2014 conference in Dallas,
Texas. The workshop continues the successful series of workshops held
previously in cooperation with ACM SIGSPATIAL and in conjunction with
SIGIR and CIKM conferences.

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together members of the vibrant
and growing community of researchers and practitioners working in the
field of geographic information retrieval to discuss current research
activity and potential future research directions.

The subject and format of the workshop
-----------------------------------------------------

There is a vast quantity of information in text documents and other
media that is referenced to geographic space. The discipline of
Geographical Information Retrieval (GIR) is concerned with developing
methods to gain access to this geographical information, with a
particular focus on the content of web documents and social
media. Because much of the information is in the form of unstructured or
semi-structured text, there is a challenge to develop methods that can
automatically recognise and interpret the geographical terminology and
spatial or spatio-temporal concepts that people use when recording and
querying the information. GIR falls at the intersection of Information
Retrieval (IR) and Geographical Information Science (GIScience)
resulting in research and systems development that benefits from the
fusion of text-based methods for information extraction, natural
language processing, indexing and search with GIS methods for spatial
data management, analysis and visualization.

The workshop invites contributions on the following topics, and other
research related to GIR:

- Detection, disambiguation and geocoding of geographical references in
  text;

- User needs for geographic search;

- Classification of web documents and social media with regard to their
  geographic foci;

- Interpretation of spatial natural language in documents and queries;

- Extraction of geographically-specific facts and events from text
  documents and social media;

- Spatial and spatio-temporal indexing of documents and other media
  objects;

- Modelling, construction and integration of ontologies, gazetteers and
  geographic thesauri;

- Reasoning with geo-spatial facts for purposes of information
  retrieval;

- Geographical query interfaces for search on the web;

- Geographic question / answering systems;

- Geographic search engine architectures;

- Relevance ranking of geographical information;

- Evaluation methods for geographic search.

We invite both long papers (8 pages) and short papers (2 pages). Long
papers are expected to report on relatively mature research results,
while short papers may also cover more speculative or early stage
research that may stimulate discussion at the workshop.

All submissions will be reviewed by three members of the programme
committee and all accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital
Library.

Please note that we welcome contributions both from academic researchers
and from practitioners working in industry and in public agencies
engaged in GIR-related activities.

The workshop programme will ensure opportunity for discussion of the
presented papers and of the broader agenda for research in GIR.

Submission procedure
------------------------------
You should prepare your paper in accordance with the ACM camera-ready
instructions
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and submit
it using the EasyChair system
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gir14) by 29th August
2014. Decisions on acceptance will be announced by 15th September 2014.

Camera ready versions of accepted papers to be submitted by 29th
September 2014.

At least one author of accepted papers will be required to register for
the workshop before the paper is published in the ACM Digital Library,
and to present the paper at the workshop.

Please note that attendance at the workshop also requires registration
for the main ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS conference
(http://sigspatial2014.sigspatial.org) in addition to registering for
the workshop.

 AIM AND SCOPE

 Environmental and more generally geo-spatial information is now
 provided by crowdsourcing but also by public administrations in the
 context of the open data policies. Analyses of such data are still
 challenging. Firstly because of their heterogeneity (structural,
 semantic, spatial and temporal), and secondly because of the difficulty
 in choosing the ?best? knowledge discovery process to apply, according
 to the needs of the experts in the field. This special session aims at
 discussing and assessing some of these strategies covering all or part
 of the issues mentioned above, from a theoretical or experimental point
 of view.

 TOPICS

 - Pre and Post Data processing
 - Data Quality, Result Evaluation
 - Data Mining or Data Warehousing Applications
 - Text Mining
 - Visual Analytics
 - KDD real use-cases

 dedicated to environmental and geo-spatial Data

 PAPER SUBMISSION

 - Papers should be submitted by DSAA submission site choosing Special
   Session on "Environmental and geo-spatial data analytics (EnGeoData)"
   before 22nd July 2014 (PST).
 - Conference paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of seven
   (7) pages, in the IEEE 2-column format (see the IEEE Proceedings
   Author Guidelines:
   http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
   ).
 - All submissions will be blind reviewed by the Program Committee on
   the basis of technical quality, relevance to conference topics of
   interest, originality, significance, and clarity. Author names and
   affiliations must not appear in the submissions, and bibliographic
   references must be adjusted to preserve author anonymity.

Bonjour ? tous,

Nous avons le grand plaisir de faire l'annonce suivante (voir en bas de
ce courriel).

Le projet sud4science (http://sud4science.org) a d?marr? en janvier
2011, et fait partie d'un grand projet international, sms4science
(http://www.sms4science.org), initi? par des chercheurs belges (Cental,
UCL), en 2004.

Le corpus ? 88milSMS ? est diffus? ? partir du 26 juin 2014. 

Il s'agit d'un grand corpus de SMS authentiques, anonymis?s, en
fran?ais. Il est produit par l?Universit? Paul-Val?ry Montpellier 3 et
le CNRS, en collaboration avec l?Universit? catholique de Louvain, et il
est financ? gr?ce au soutien de la MSH-M et du Minist?re de la Culture
(D?l?gation g?n?rale ? la langue fran?aise et aux langues de France) et
avec la participation de Praxiling, Lirmm, Lidilem, Tetis, Viseo.

Nous avons obtenu l'accord pour le mettre ? disposition sur la grille de
services d'Huma-Num. Les conditions d'utilisation et les t?l?chargements
s'effectuent ici : http://88milsms.huma-num.fr/

C'est un grand jour pour tous les membres du projet. Nous profitons de
ce message pour remercier nos institutions de recherche publique, nos
entreprises, nos services juridiques, nos laboratoires de recherche, nos
partenaires et nos 8 stagiaires ?tudiants qui ont travaill? tout au long
de ces derni?res ann?es avec nous.

Nous voudrions terminer ce message par des remerciements tr?s appuy?s au
service juridique de l'Universit? Paul-Val?ry, le SAJI, dirig? par
St?phanie Delaunay. Si le projet sud4science a pu aboutir sur le plan
juridique, et si nous pouvons mettre ? disposition le corpus ? 88milSMS
? aujourd'hui, c'est gr?ce ? l'?norme investissement dans le projet par
tout le service, et, en particulier, par notre correspondant
Informatique et libert?s (CIL), Nicolas Hvoinsky. Notre juriste-CIL
s'est montr? tr?s actif d?s le d?but du projet en 2011 : participation ?
nos s?minaires scientifiques pour comprendre les enjeux du projet,
r?daction de tr?s nombreux documents juridiques, ?changes de centaines
de courriels, conseils sur l'anonymisation des SMS, r?ponses ? nos
questions incessantes, etc. Le temps et l'?nergie consacr?s au projet,
et la patience ? toute ?preuve de Nicolas Hvoinsky ont tr?s largement
contribu? ? la r?ussite de ce projet.

Comme dit pr?c?demment, le corpus ? 88milSMS ? est diffus? ? partirdu 26
juin 2014 et nous sommes ravis et fiers de pouvoir le mettre ?
disposition de tous.

Call for Posters
Translating and the Computer 36
London, 27 and 28 November 2014

The Translating and the Computer conference
(http://www.translatingandthecomputer.com/) encourages submissions for
poster presentations to supplement the regular presentations of the
conference. Posters are expected to present ongoing and not necessarily
completed research, teaching or training activity, practical work,
software programs, projects or developments in general related to
translation, interpretation and terminology, and to the related
industries.

The Translating and the Computer conference is a unique forum for
researchers, developers and users. It brings together academics involved
in language technology research and in teaching translation and
terminology with those who develop and market tools for language
transformation and both of these groups with users: translators,
terminologists, interpreters, and voice-over specialists, whether
freelancers or working in translation departments of large organisations
such as those of the European Parliament, European courts and the
European Patent Office, the United Nations family, international
companies and other organisations, and Language Services Providers
(LSPs), large and small.

In its 36th session Translating and the Computer has moved from ASLIB to
ASLING. The conference often referred to as the ?ASLIB Conference? is
now the ASLING Translating and the Computer Conference. One of the new
developments is also the launch of a poster session in addition to the
regular presentation slots.

Poster proposals in the form of poster abstracts not exceeding 500 words
(the final versions of the accepted posters can be up to 1,500 words)
must be submitted using the START system at the following address:
https://www.softconf.com/e/tc2014, adding the text ?Poster:? at the
start of the ?Title of Submission: ? field in the online submission
form.

Accepted poster papers will be included (and will have the have the same
status as regular papers) in the conference proceedings only after the
registration fee for at least one presenter of the paper has been paid.

Important dates
Deadline for poster submissions: 8 August 2014
Notification of acceptance or rejection: 22 August 2014
Camera-ready poster papers due: 3 October
Conference: 29 and 30 November 2014

la parole/- ; Coordinateur principal : Corine Ast?sano, Universit? de
Toulouse 2)

. ***Description du projet*
Le projet PhonIACog est financ? par l'Agence Nationale de la Recherche
(ANR -- Programme Blanc).

Ce projet vise ? d?crire les caract?ristiques accentuelles du fran?ais
afin de mettre en lumi?re la structure phonologique sous-jacente
caract?risant cette langue. Cette question est abord?e au travers du
patron bipolaire /AI-AF/ (Accent Initial - Accent Final), envisag? comme
structure m?trique de base en fran?ais. Nous proposons d'appliquer une
m?me grille d'analyse sur une s?rie de corpus allant de la parole de
laboratoire ? la parole semi-contr?l?e et l'interaction dialogique
spontan?e. Les exp?riences de production sur divers styles de parole
nous permettront d'affiner la caract?risation acoustico-phon?tique de AI
et AF afin d'am?liorer les syst?mes de d?tection automatique des
?v?nements prosodiques sur de larges corpus.

Pour plus d'informations, consulter le site du 
projet:http://aune.lpl-aix.fr/~phoniacog/ 


. *Description du travail*
Le post-doctorant sera principalement impliqu? dans le traitement des
donn?es. Il/elle participera aux analyses acoustiques et devra ensuite
mettre en oeuvre les traitements statistiques pr?vus dans le projet.

. *Pr?-requis*
Une th?se en Science du Langage (phon?tique exp?rimentale/prosodie) ou

*POST-DOCTORAL POSITION FOR THE PROJECT PhonIACog (LPL -
 AIX-EN-PROVENCE, FRANCE)**
************************************************************************
We invite applications for a one-year Post-Doctoral position at the
Laboratoire Parole et Langage (LPL, Aix-Marseille Universit?, CNRS, UMR
7309, France), to work on the project PhonIACog (-/The role of the
Initial Accent in prosodic structuring in French/-/From phonology to
speech processing/- Main coordinator : Corine Ast?sano, Universit? de
Toulouse 2).

. *Description*
The PhonIACog project is funded by the The French National Research
Agency (ANR).

The present project aims at describing the characteristics of the French
accentual system in order to bring to light the underlying phonological
structure of this language. It addresses the status of the bipolar
pattern /IA FA/ (initial accent-final accent), considered as the basic
metric pattern in French. We propose to apply the same analyses to
different corpora, from laboratory speech to semi-controlled speech and
dialogic spontaneous interaction. The production studies will allow us
to refine the acoustic-phonetic characterization of IA and FA, with
potential application to automatic detection of prosodic cues on large,
spontaneous corpora.

More information is available at the project 
website:http://aune.lpl-aix.fr/~phoniacog/ 

. *Job description*
The post-doctoral fellow will be mainly involved in data processing.
He/she will participate in the acoustic analyses and will then have to
implement the statistical analyses planned in the project.

. *Qualifications*
A Ph.D. in linguistics (experimental phonetics/prosody) or in computer
science and solid competence/experience in statistics and data analysis
are required.  Experience in processing and analysis of large speech
database is also welcome.

. *Application procedure*
Candidates should send a detailed CV with a list of publications, and a
cover letter with statement of research interests and details of their
experience in data analysis.

Please e-mail documents to:roxane.bertrand at lpl-aix.fr 
(Roxane Bertrand, Scientific coordinator LPL, Aix-en-Provence, France).

Deadline for submission: September 30, 2014
Expected start date: November 2014 (with some flexibility.)
Length of contact: 12 months
Salary: about EUR2000/month including health care

Apologies for cross-posting,

Submissions are invited for the 4th edition of Sentiment Elicitation
from Natural Text for Information Retrieval and Extraction (SENTIRE),
the IEEE ICDM workshop series on opinion mining. The term SENTIRE comes
from the Latin feel and it is root of words such as sentiment and
sensation. SENTIRE aims to provide an international forum for
researchers in the field of 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 Web
mining, AI, Semantic Web, information retrieval and natural language
processing. The workshop is going to be held in Shenzhen on 14th
December 2014. For more information, please visit:
http://sentic.net/sentire

RATIONALE
Memory and data capacities double approximately every two years and,
apparently, the Web is following the same rule. User-generated contents,
in particular, are an ever-growing source of opinion and sentiments
which are continuously spread worldwide through blogs, wikis, fora,
chats and social networks. The distillation of knowledge from such
sources is a key factor for applications in fields such as commerce,
tourism, education and health, but the quantity and the nature of the
contents they generate make it a very difficult task. Due to such
challenging research problems and wide variety of practical
applications, opinion mining and sentiment analysis have become very
active research areas in the last decade.

Our understanding and knowledge of the problem and its solution are
still limited as natural language understanding techniques are still
pretty weak. Most of current research in sentiment analysis, in fact,
merely relies on machine learning algorithms. Such algorithms, despite
most of them being very effective, produce no human understandable
results such that we know little about how and why output values are
obtained. All such approaches, moreover, rely on syntactical structure
of text, which is far from the way human mind processes natural
language. Next-generation opinion mining systems should employ
techniques capable to better grasp the conceptual rules that govern
sentiment and the clues that can convey these concepts from realization
to verbalization in the human mind.

Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8)
EMNLP 2014 / SIGMT / SIGLEX Workshop
Oct 2014, Doha, Qatar
http://www.cse.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/

* New submission deadline for papers and abstracts: August 1st, 2014 *
* Special theme: Compositional Distributional Semantics and Machine
  Translation *

The Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8) seeks to bring together a large number of
researchers working on diverse aspects of structure, semantics and
representation in relation to statistical machine translation. Since its
first edition in 2006, 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.

We invite two types of submissions this year:

1. Extended abstracts for poster or hands-on presentations on the
   special theme
2. Full papers spanning all areas of interest for SSST

===========================
Special Theme Extended Abstracts
===========================

This year, the special theme of semantics of the past three editions of
SSST takes a new step with a "working workshop" bringing together
researchers interested in compositional distributional semantics,
distributed representations, and continuous vector space models in MT,
with tutorials bridging both directions, as well as discussions and
hands-on work on relevant tasks with real data. Such models have proven
beneficial for a number of NLP tasks, for example phrasal similarity,
lexical entailment, modeling semantic deviance, detecting order
restrictions in recursive structures, or improving NP bracketing in
parsing. However, they have not received as much attention in MT.

Extended abstracts of at most two (2) pages should describe poster or
hands-on presentations that will stimulate discussions on the special
theme of compositional distributional semantics and machine translation,
including position papers, recent work, pilot studies, negative
results. We encourage the presentation of relevant work that has been
published or submitted elsewhere, as well as new work in progress.

=========
Full Papers
=========

The need for structural mappings between languages is widely recognized
in the fields of statistical machine translation and spoken language
translation, and there is now wide consensus that these mappings are
appropriately represented using a family of formalisms that includes
synchronous/transduction grammars and similar notational 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 three editions which had semantics for SMT as a special
theme. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely
linked and SSST-8 continues to encourage submissions on semantics for MT
in a number of directions, including semantic role labeling, sense
disambiguation, and compositional distributional semantics 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
    compositional distributional semantics in MT
    distributed representations and continuous vector space models in MT

Problem

Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) is the process by which texts are
automatically translated from a source language to a target language by
a machine that has been trained on corpora in both languages. Thanks to
progress in the training of SMT engines, machine translation has become
good enough so that it has become advantageous for translators to
post-edit machine outputs rather than translate from scratch. However,
current enhancement of SMT systems from human post-edition (PE) are
rather basic: the post-edited output is added to the training corpus and
the translation model and language model are re-trained, with no clear
view of how much has been improved and how much is left to be
improved. Moreover, the final PE result is the only feedback used:
available technologies do not take advantage of logged sequences of
post-edition actions, which inform on the cognitive processes of the
post-editor.

The proposed thesis aims at using the post-edition process as a
demonstration of how an expert translator modifies the SMT result to
produce a perfect translation. Learning from demonstration is an
emerging field in machine learning, mostly applied to robotics [1] that
will thus be explored further in the particular framework of SMT.

Topic of research

A novel approach to SMT training will be adopted in this thesis, i.e.
considering the post-edition process as a sequential decision making
process performed by human experts who should be imitated. This thesis?
first fundamental contribution to SMT will be to reformulate the problem
of post-edition in SMT as a sequential decision making problem
[4]. Indeed, the hypothesis selection and ranking process occurring in
an SMT system can be seen as an action selection strategy, choosing
after each post-edition step amongst a large number of actions (all
possible hypotheses and rankings). This strategy has to be modified
according to post-edition results arising sequentially and being
influenced by previous actions (hypothesis selection) of the system.

From this, SMT will be casted into an imitation learning problem, that
is learning from demonstrations made by an expert: post-edition results
can be seen as examples of what the system should do, again in a
sequential decision making process and not in a static one such as
supervised learning. Indeed, SMT decoding, whether it is based on
phrases or chunks, can be seen as a sequential decision making
process. The sequences of decisions taken by an expert during the
post-edition process can be seen as a target for the system, which will
try to imitate them in similar situations. To do so, we will extend the
work described in [2], that modelled semantic parsing as an Inverse
Reinforcement Learning (IRL) [3].

In addition, the question of automatically selecting the sentences that
should be used for post-edition and further learning will be addressed.
Especially, this will be studied under the active learning
paradigm. Large and diversified amounts of post-edited data, collected
in an industrial setting, will be made available for the research
project.


Profile

The applicants must hold an Engineering or a Master degree in
Computational Linguistics or computer science, preferably with
experience in the fields of statistical machine learning and/or natural
language processing. Good background in programming will also be
required. He/she will also be involved in a research project, funded by
the French National Agency for Research, involving 2 research labs (LIFL
in Lille and LIG in Grenoble) and a company (Lingua & Machina). For this
reason good English level is required (good command of French being a
plus). Finally effective communication skills in English, both written
and verbal are mandatory.

Context

The candidate will be hired by University Lille 1 in the framework of a
national research project. S/he will mainly be hosted in the SequeL (
Sequential Learning) team of the Laboratoire d?Informatique Fondamentale
de Lille (LIFL). SequeL is also a common team-project with INRIA
(national institute for research in computer science and mathematics)
and espe- cially the INRIA Lille - Nord Europe Center. The group
involves around 25 researchers working on sequential learning and is
internationally recognized. Lille is the largest city of the north of
France, a metropolis with 1 million inhabitants, with excellent train
connections to Brussels (30 min), Paris (1h) and London (1h30).

This thesis will be supervised in strong collaboration with the GETALP
team of Laboratoire d?Informatique de Grenoble (LIG), widely renowned
for its research on natural language and speech processing. Grenoble is
a high-tech city with 4 universities. It is located at the heart of the
Alps, in outstanding scientific and natural surroundings. It is 3h by
train from Paris ; 2h from Geneva ; 1h from Lyon ; 2h from Torino and is
less than 1h from Lyon international airport.

The PhD thesis will be co-supervised by Olivier Pietquin in Lille and
Laurent Besacier in Grenoble.

Contacts

Interviews will be held in Sept 2014. Meetings during Interspeech 2014
in Singapore can be also organized. For further info, please contact:

Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2014 22:34:18 +0200
Subject: Sujet de these: PhD scholarships in Computer Science at the Free
 Univ. of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy)
Message-ID: <TUE.29.JUL.2014.223418.0200.HAMON@LIMSI.FR>

The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano announces a public competition, by
qualifications, for admission to the PhD programme of the Faculty of
Computer Science, with the first 6 positions covered by scholarships
(17,000? per year). In addition, the student will be financially
supported to attend conferences and schools, and to spend a period of
6-12 months abroad. The PhD programme lasts three years. The official
language of the programme and of the faculty is English.

Research in the Faculty of Computer Science is divided in three research
centres (see below). Candidates are strongly advised to get in contact
with the desired research centre before applying.

Bolzano is the city?s Italian name while Bozen is its German name: it is
the capital of the multilingual province of Alto Adige / S?dtirol. Near
Italy?s northern border with Austria, the city is a gateway to the
Dolomites, the majestic white mountain peaks that are part of the
Alps. Bolzano is an Italian city with Austrian flair. Its two
lifestyles, one Northern European and the other more Mediterranean,
combine to make the perfect union, which can be clearly seen in the
historic and artistic treasures of this city. Bolzano is constantly
among the top-ranked cities in Italy when it comes to quality of
life. It has one of Europe's lowest unemployment rates, excellent
services and a wonderful landscape. The landscape of the surrounding
mountain sides is characterised by old wine hamlets and villages
nestling amid vineyards watched over by 200 castles, stately country
houses and ruins (see the wonderful video).

Instructions for application (pre-enrollment):
http://www.unibz.it/en/inf/progs/phdcs/
The deadline for the applications is the 29th August 2014.


RESEARCH CENTRES:

KRDB RESEARCH CENTRE FOR KNOWLEDGE AND DATA

- web page: http://www.inf.unibz.it/krdb/
- contact person: Enrico Franconi franconi at inf.unibz.it

  - Logic based languages for knowledge representation
  - Intelligent access to databases
  - Semantic technologies
  - Visual and verbal paradigms for information exploration  
  - Temporal aspects of data and knowledge
  - Extending database technologies
  - Inter-operation, verification, and composition of business processes

The research topics in knowledge representation are focused on
foundational and practical aspects of knowledge representation
technologies applied to information systems. The whole life cycle
ranging from the design to the deployment of such technologies is
covered: the conceptual modelling of various types of knowledge, the
linguistic and logical aspects of knowledge, the integration of
heterogeneous knowledge sources, including information coming from the
Internet, the usage of knowledge to support the intelligent retrieval of
information, and the usage of knowledge to create virtual services on
the net.

INFORMATION AND DATABASE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING 

  - Spatial and temporal databases 
  - Approximation Techniques in databases
  - Query optimisation in databases
  - Cooperative interfaces for information access and filtering
  - Data mining techniques for preference elicitation and recommendation
  - Cloud computing and big data
  - Agile development & human aspects of software engineering
  - Software startups and open science
  - Design based Hardware engineering
  - Technology enhanced learning

The research activities in the area of database and information systems
focus on key aspects of applied computer science, including data
warehousing and data mining, the integration of heterogeneous and
distributed databases, time-varying information, data models, and query
processing. The research approach is primarily constructive in its
outset, and it includes substantial experimental and analytical
elements. The development activities cover the design of data models and
structures, and the development of algorithms, data structures,
languages, and systems. The experimental activities verify real world
artifacts with the help of prototypes and simulations. The analytic
activities include the analysis of the algorithmic complexity and the
evaluation of languages. The main goal is theoretically sound results
that solve real world problems.

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
 
  - Agile methods, lean management, and open source
  - Measurement and study of software quality, reliability, evolution
    and reuse
  - Distributed computing and service-oriented architectures (mobile and
    distributes services)
  - IT and business alignment
  - Software reuse and component based development
  - Interoperability in collaborative systems
  - IT for automation
  - Energy-aware systems

The research topics in software engineering are focused on the empirical
and quantitative study of innovative models for software
development. The target analysis techniques include both traditional
statistics, and new approaches, such as computational intelligence,
Bayesian models, and meta-analytical systems. The innovative software
development techniques include (a) methods based on lean management,
such as agile methods, with a specific interest for benchmarking and
identification of defects, and (b) open source development models.

Call for Workshop Papers and Posters

2014 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE BigData 2014)

http://cci.drexel.edu/bigdata/bigdata2014/index.htm
October 27-30, 2014, Washington DC,  USA


In recent years, ?Big Data? has become a new ubiquitous term. Big Data
is transforming science, engineering, medicine, healthcare, finance,
business, and ultimately society itself. The IEEE Big Data has
established itself as the top tier research conference in Big Data. The
first conference IEEE Big Data 2013
(http://cci.drexel.edu/bigdata/bigdata2013/) was held in Santa Clara ,
CA from Oct 6-7, 2013, 259 paper submissions for the main conference and
32 paper submissions for the industry and government program. Of those,
44 regular papers and 53 short papers were accepted, which translates
into a selectivity that is on-par with top tier conferences. Also, there
were 14 workshops associated with IEEE Big Data 2013 covering various
important topics related to various aspects of Big Data research,
development and applications, and more than 400 participants from 40
countries attend the 4-day event.

The IEEE International Conference on Big Data 2014(IEEE BigData 2014)
continues the success of the IEEE BigData 2013. We expect to have an
exciting prgoram, IEEE Big Data 2014 has received 271 paper submissions
for the main conference and 37 paper submissions for the industry and
government program. Also there are 21 workshops covering a lot emerging
research areas associated with it, If you miss the deadline to submit a

SemEval-2015 Task 4: TimeLine: Cross-Document Event Ordering (pilot
task)
First Call for Participation

Website: http://alt.qcri.org/semeval2015/task4
Google Group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/semeval-task4-timeline
Evaluation period: November 15 - 30, 2014
Paper submission: January 2015

*Introduction*
In any domain, professionals need to have access to knowledge in order
to take well-informed decisions. An insightful way of presenting
information in an easily updatable and complete manner is to present it
on a timeline that is continuously updated with new information. The aim
of the task is to build timelines from written news in English. More
specifically, the goal is to order on a timeline all the events in which
a target entity is involved. We focus mainly on cross-document event
coreference resolution and cross-document temporal relation extraction.

Temporal relation extraction has been the topic of the three past
TempEval tasks as part of SemEval:
- TempEval-1 (2007): Temporal Relation Identification
- TempEval-2 (2010): Evaluating Events, Time Expressions, and Temporal
  Relations
- TempEval-3 (2013): Temporal Annotation

In addition, temporal relation extraction has been the focus of the 6th
i2b2 NLP Challenge for clinical records but the cross-document aspect,
has not been often explored. At RANLP 2009 there was a cross-document
temporal relation extraction task, in which the goal was to link
pre-defined events involving the same centroid entities (i.e. entities
frequently participating in events) on a timeline. Nominal coreference
resolution has been the topic of SemEval 2010 Task on Coreference
Resolution in Multiple Languages.

Partially motivated by the work in the NewsReader project
(http://www.newsreader-project.eu), TimeLine goes beyond the these tasks
by addressing coreference resolution for events and temporal relation
identification across documents.

*Task Description*
Given a set of documents and a target entity, the task is to build an
event TimeLine related to that entity, i.e. to detect, anchor in time
and order the events involving the target entity.

As input data, we provide a set of documents and a set of target
entities (people, organization, product or financial entity); only
entities of interest will be selected as target entities, i.e. entities
involved in many events across different documents and for which it is
relevant to build a timeline.

There are two tracks in this task based on the data used as input. For
Track A only raw text is provided to the participants, while for Track B
gold-standard event mentions are also given.

For both tracks the expected output is one TimeLine for each target
entity. Each TimeLine consists of an ordered list of events in which
each event is associated to a time anchor.

For both tracks a sub-track in which the events are not associated to a
time anchor is proposed.

Participants can choose to participate in any track and subtrack.
Participants can submit up to two runs for each track/subtrack.

*Data*
The trial data consists of a set of 30 documents collected from Wikinews
(http://en.wikinews.org) about Apple Inc. A set of target entities
(input) and the corresponding ordered list of events (the output
timeline) is provided with the set of documents.

The trial data have been annotated with the extents of event mentions
and are available
fromhttp://alt.qcri.org/semeval2015/task4/index.php?id=data-and-tools. The
evaluation tool can also be found there.

The evaluation data will consist of 3 sets of documents annotated with
event mentions and a set of target entities. Each set will contain
around 30 documents from Wikinews, totalling around 30,000 tokens. For
each set of documents, one file is provided containing the list of
target entities.

No training corpus will be provided for this task.

*Evaluation Methodology*
Participants will submit the TimeLines produced by their system for all
target entities. Systems will be ranked based on their temporal
awareness.

*More information*
See http://alt.qcri.org/semeval2015/task4/ for further information about
the task, data formats, examples, data downloads, tools and registration
information.

*Important dates*
- Evaluation period starts: November 15, 2014
- Evaluation period ends: November 30, 2014
- Paper submission due: January 30, 2015
- Paper notification: Early March, 2015

Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8)
EMNLP 2014 / SIGMT / SIGLEX Workshop
Oct 2014, Doha, Qatar
http://www.cse.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/

*** Special theme: Compositional Distributional Semantics and Machine
    Translation ***

The Eighth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-8) seeks to bring together a large number of
researchers working on diverse aspects of structure, semantics and
representation in relation to statistical machine translation. Since its
first edition in 2006, 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.

We invite two types of submissions this year:

1. Extended abstracts for poster or hands-on presentations on the
   special theme
2. Full papers spanning all areas of interest for SSST

===========================
Special Theme Extended Abstracts
===========================

This year, the special theme of semantics of the past three editions of
SSST takes a new step with a "working workshop" bringing together
researchers interested in compositional distributional semantics,
distributed representations, and continuous vector space models in MT,
with tutorials bridging both directions, as well as discussions and
hands-on work on relevant tasks with real data. Such models have proven
beneficial for a number of NLP tasks, for example phrasal similarity,
lexical entailment, modeling semantic deviance, detecting order
restrictions in recursive structures, or improving NP bracketing in
parsing. However, they have not received as much attention in MT.

Extended abstracts of at most two (2) pages should describe poster or
hands-on presentations that will stimulate discussions on the special
theme of compositional distributional semantics and machine translation,
including position papers, recent work, pilot studies, negative
results. We encourage the presentation of relevant work that has been
published or submitted elsewhere, as well as new work in progress.

=========
Full Papers
=========

The need for structural mappings between languages is widely recognized
in the fields of statistical machine translation and spoken language
translation, and there is now wide consensus that these mappings are
appropriately represented using a family of formalisms that includes
synchronous/transduction grammars and similar notational 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 three editions which had semantics for SMT as a special
theme. The issues of deep syntax and shallow semantics are closely
linked and SSST-8 continues to encourage submissions on semantics for MT
in a number of directions, including semantic role labeling, sense
disambiguation, and compositional distributional semantics 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:

NEW EXTENDED DEADLINE: August 15, 2014

Second International Workshop on Definitions in Ontologies (IWOOD 2014)
at the International Conference on Biomedical Ontologies (ICBO 2014)

October 6-7, 2014
Houston, USA

Website: https://sites.google.com/site/definitionsinontologies/

This workshop is a follow-up to the workshop on Definitions in
Ontologies (DO 2013) held last year in Montreal in conjunction with ICBO
2013. The focus of this second workshop is on definition practices in
either human or machine-assisted ontology development.

PRESENTATION
A current problem in ontology development is constructing the needed
definitions of terms either logical or in natural language. For example,
ontologies built using OBO Foundry principles are advised to include
both logical and natural language definitions, but ontology developers
too often focus on only one of these, or they pay insufficient attention
to whether they are equivalent.

Explicit definitions of terms in ontologies serve a number of purposes.
Logical definitions allow reasoners to create inferred hierarchies,
lessening the burden of asserting and checking the validity of
subsumptions. Natural language definitions help to ameliorate the
pervasive problem of low inter-annotator agreement. In specialized
domains, experts will know their own field well, but may only have
limited knowledge of adjacent disciplines. Good definitions make it
possible for non-experts to understand unfamiliar terms and thereby make
it possible for more confident reuse of terms by external ontologies,
which in turn facilitates data integration.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together interested researchers
and developers to explore these issues by presenting case studies in a
biomedical domain discussing the difficulties that arise when
constructing definitions with a view to sharing strategies in the
future. Even in the seemingly narrow domain of definition construction,
cross-fertilization from related disciplines should yield benefits in
quality and help to identify novel approaches.

Papers submitted should include one or more case studies and raise
specific questions related to definitions with a link to a biomedical
domain. Reports on successful or unsuccessful methods are both
appropriate.

TOPICS
- experiences in formulating definitions
- tools that assist in definition editing, including collaborative
  systems
- coordination of logical and textual definitions
- validation and quality control of definitions, e.g., checking that
  definitions comply with the all/some form

- methods for constructing definitions from multiple sources
- use of controlled languages such as Rabbit or ACE for more
  user-friendly logical definition creation
- use of templates to systematize definition creation

FORMAT AND OUTCOMES
This will be a half-day workshop with a selected mix of presentations
based on accepted papers. In order to promote discussion, each
presentation will be followed by a short response by a participant of
the workshop to be arranged in advance of the workshop.

This workshop will document findings on the workshop?s website
(https://sites.google.com/site/definitionsinontologies/). We expect
accepted papers to be published in the Journal of Biomedical Semantics
(JBS).

INTENDED AUDIENCE
- ontologists, tool developers, and domain experts whose work encounters
  issues regarding definitions
- tool developers building definition- or ontology-authoring tools
- philosophers and logicians
- biomedical researchers working on definitions in nomenclatures such as
  SNOMED
- computer scientists addressing these issues in languages like OWL
- NLP researchers working on definition extraction, generation, or
  checking
- NLP/IR researchers reusing definitions produced for ontologies

SUBMISSIONS
All papers should include one or more case studies and raise specific
questions related to definitions with a link to a biomedical domain.
Papers should be between 5 and 10 pages long (rendered), excluding
references, formatted using the JBS templates at
http://www.jbiomedsem.com/authors/instructions/research#preparing-main-manuscript,
and submitted via EasyChair
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=do2014).

IMPORTANT DATES
Workshop paper submission: August 15, 2014
Notification of paper acceptance: September 1, 2014
Camera-ready copies for the proceedings: September 15, 2014
Workshops: October 6-7, 2014
