Appel à Contributions

Atelier Web Intelligence

RFIA 2014 – Rouen – 30 juin et 1er juillet 2014

https://sites.google.com/site/wirfia2014/

L’objectif de l’atelier Web Intelligence est de faire le point sur les
modèles et techniques de l’Intelligence Artificielle en lien avec le
développement du Web.

Le Web constitue en effet un espace d’information et de services,
intrinsèquement ouvert et décentralisé, qui connait une formidable
multiplication des données, des services et des connaissances
disponibles, en même temps qu'une extension dans le monde physique (web
des objets) et dans les réseaux sociaux de ses utilisateurs (web
social). Dans une société qui évolue vers le « tout numérique », un
enjeu majeur est de pouvoir utiliser le web comme support à la
communication et à l’échange d’information, à la création et à la
composition personnalisées de multiples services accessibles par tous et
de n’importe où. Cela concerne donc les entreprises, les organisations
locales, régionales et gouvernementales et, de plus en plus, le grand
public, les utilisateurs étant considérés individuellement ou en tant
que membres de communautés.

Il s’agit donc dans cet atelier de présenter les recherches et
développements en cours, de rassembler les communautés de l'Intelligence
Artificielle contribuant aux différentes facettes de cette problématique
large et soulevant de nombreux défis tant au niveau des usages que des
technologies.

Contributions

Les contributions attendues (en français ou en anglais) peuvent être :
- des articles scientifiques (max 6 pages) ;
- des descriptions de réalisations ou d’expérimentations en cours (2
  pages);

Les formats de soumissions respecteront le format indiqué sur :
http://rfia2014.univ-rouen.fr/content/soumissions

Les articles doivent être soumis en version pdf et envoyés à
wi-rfia-14 at emse.fr

Dates importantes
Soumission des articles : 12 Mai 2014
Notification aux auteurs : 02 Juin 2014
Version finale : 16 Juin 2014

Dans le cadre du projet ANR ASFALDA portant sur la création de
ressources annotées et d'analyseurs automatiques en cadres et rôles
sémantiques, les laboratoires ALPAGE, LLF et MELODI recherchent
plusieurs annotateurs (H/F) de langue maternelle française (ou niveau
équivalent), en CDD.

Il s'agit d'un travail d'annotation sémantique:
Pour une occurrence d'un verbe ou d'un nom dans un corpus,
l'annotateur devra
- choisir la classe sémantique pertinente d'après le contexte, parmi une
  liste de classes sémantiques proposées,
- puis repérer les arguments sémantiques du mot cible, et les associer à
  des rôles sémantiques prédéfinis.

Le travail sera réalisé en utilisant un logiciel d'annotation, et un
système de gestion de versions (subversion). La formation à cette tâche
d'annotation sera assurée en début de contrat.

Profil recherché :

* Formation en linguistique (licence ou master de sciences du language)
* Bonne maîtrise de l'outil informatique
* langue maternelle française (ou niveau équivalent)

Dates :

Les contrats sont des contrats de 3 mois équivalents temps plein,
renouvelables, réalisables à temps partiel, selon les disponibilités des
candidats.
Idéalement, nous recherchons un *mi-temps* de juillet 2014 à décembre
2014.

Lieu :
Le travail peut être réalisé à Paris (13eme) ou à Toulouse. Le
télétravail est possible, après une phase de rodage, avec un minimum
d'un jour sur site par semaine.

Rémunération : selon expérience et niveau de diplôme,
entre 1600 et 1900 nets pour un mois temps plein.

Workshop on 
NATURAL LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER SCIENCE  (NLCS '14)
17-18 July, 2014 Vienna, Austria
http://www.indiana.edu/~iulg/nlcs.html

AIMS AND SCOPE

Formal tools coming from logic, category theory, are important for
natural language processing and especially for computational semantics.
Moreover, work on these tools borrows heavily from all areas of
theoretical computer science.  In the other direction, applications
having to do with natural language have inspired developments on the
formal side.  The workshop invites papers on both topics and their
applications, as well as on the combination between logical and
statistical methods.

Specific topics include, but are not limited to:
* linguistic, computational and logical aspects of the interface between
  syntax and semantics
* logical aspects of linguistic theories 
* logic for semantics of lexical items, sentences, discourse and dialog
* continuations in natural language semantics
* formal tools in textual inference, such as logics for natural language
  inference
* applications of category theory in semantics
* linear logic in semantics
* formal approaches to unifying data-driven (quantitative, statistical)
  and declarative (logical) approaches to semantics
* natural language processing tools using some logic

IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission deadline:	May 1, 2014
Author notification:	Two weeks after the submission.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
La conférence d'Ingénierie des Connaissances fête cette année ses 25
ans! Elle est le rendez-vous annuel de la communauté française et
francophone qui s'intéresse aux problématiques liées à l'ingénierie des
connaissances. Académiques et industriels s'y retrouvent pour échanger
et réfléchir sur des problèmes de recherche qui se posent en
acquisition, représentation et gestion des connaissances.

L'essor des sciences et technologies de l'information et de la
communication, et notamment des technologies du web, dans l'ensemble de
la société engendre des mutations dans les pratiques individuelles et
collectives. L'ingénierie des connaissances accompagne cette évolution,
en inventant les modèles, méthodes et outils permettant l'intégration de
connaissances et de raisonnements sur ces connaissances dans des
environnements informatiques.

De fait, on constate aujourd'hui une omniprésence des connaissances, en
même temps qu'un décloisonnement des communautés de recherche en
Intelligence Artificielle pour répondre aux problèmes qui se posent.
Ainsi, la construction des systèmes à base de connaissances fait appel à
l'ingénierie des connaissances, au traitement automatique des langues, à
l'apprentissage automatique et à la fouille de données; le traitement
des connaissances associe ingénierie des connaissances avec recherche
d'information, recherche opérationnelle, analyse de données; la
modélisation des environnements informatiques, de ses acteurs humains ou
logiciels, allie ingénierie des connaissances et systèmes multi-agents;
enfin l'ingénierie des connaissances touche à des thématiques classiques
dans les communautés de l'interaction homme-machine et des
environnements informatiques pour l'apprentissage humain.

En plaçant ainsi l'utilisateur au coeur des systèmes informatiques,
l'ingénierie des connaissances est sollicitée pour assister
l'utilisateur dans le traitement de la masse de données disponibles sur
le web, pour les visualiser, contextualiser, expliquer, recommander,
classer, prédire, approximer, sécuriser, fiabiliser, pour pallier à leur
imprécision voire incohérence.

Appel à Contributions

Atelier Applications Pratiques de l'Intelligence Artificielle

RFIA 2014 – Rouen – 30 juin et 1er juillet 2014


Les recherches en Intelligence Artificielle (IA) donnent lieu depuis de
nombreuses années à de belles applications qui sont maintenant déployées
surtout dans le domaine industriel mais pas uniquement. Le succès de ces
applications est tel qu’il n’étonne plus. Les modèles et technologies de
l’IA sont parfois intégrés à un tel point aux autres composants
informatiques que ces éléments fondamentaux ne sont plus visibles aux
utilisateurs et que les concepteurs les passent sous silence.

Cet atelier a pour objectif de « désenfouir » les éléments d’IA des
applications où ils sont intégrés et souhaite faire le point sur leurs
avancées. L’objectif est de proposer aux chercheurs, académiques,
industriels et autres, un lieu d’échange où ils puissent partager leurs
expériences, débattre des différents verrous qu’ils rencontrent et des
méthodes qu’ils mettent en œuvre, pour enrichir le potentiel applicatif
des modèles et outils de l’IA, en mettant en valeur l’IA de ces
applications.

Contributions

Les contributions attendues (en français ou en anglais) peuvent être :

- des articles scientifiques (max 6 pages) ;

- des descriptions de réalisations ou d’expérimentations en cours (2

                          COLING 2014 Workshop

               http://perso.limsi.fr/hamon/Computerm2014/

*Extended deadline: 10 May 2014*

Invited speaker: Noemie Elhadad (Department of Biomedical Informatics,
                                 Columbia University, USA)

Call for submissions:

Computational Terminology covers an increasingly important aspect in
Natural Language Processing areas such as text mining, information
retrieval, information extraction, summarisation, textual entailment,
document management systems, question-answering systems, ontology
building, etc. Terminological information is paramount for knowledge
mining from texts for scientific discovery and competitive
intelligence. Scientific needs in fast growing domains (such as
biomedicine, chemistry and ecology) and the overwhelming amount of
textual data published daily demand that terminology is acquired and
managed systematically and automatically; while in well established
domains (such as law, economy, banking and music) the demand is on
fine-grained analyses of documents for knowledge description and
acquisition. Moreover, capturing new concepts leads to the acquisition
and management of new knowledge.

The aim of this fourth CompuTerm workshop is to bring together Natural
Language Processing researchers to discuss recent advances in
computational terminology and its impact in many NLP applications. The
topics addressed in this workshop are wide ranging:

- term extraction, recognition and filtering, which is the core of the
  terminological activity that lays basis for other terminological
  topics and tasks;

- event recognition and extraction, that extends the notion of the
  terminological entity from terms meaning static units up to terms
  meaning procedural and dynamic processes;

- acquisition of semantic relations among terms, which is also an
  important research topic as the acquisition of semantic relationships
  between terms finds applications such as the population and update of
  existing knowledge bases, definition of domain specific templates in
  information extraction and disambiguation of terms;

- term variation management, that helps to deal with the dynamic nature
  of terms, their acquisition from heterogeneous sources, their
  integration, standardisation and representation for a large range of
  applications and resources, is also increasingly important, as one has
  to address this research problem when working with various controlled
  vocabularies, thesauri, ontologies and textual data. Term variation is
  also related to their paraphrases and reformulations, due to
  historical, regional, local or personal issues. Besides, the discovery
  of synonym terms or term clusters is equally beneficial to many NLP
  applications;

- definition acquisition, that covers important research and aims to
  provide precise and nonambiguous description of terminological
  entities.  Such definitions may contain elements necessary for the
  formal description of terms and concepts within ontologies;

- consideration of the user expertise, that is becoming a new issue in
  the terminological activity, takes into account the fact that
  specialized domains contain notions and terms often nonunderstandable
  to non-experts or to laymen (such as patients within the medical area,
  or bank clients within banking and economy areas). This aspect,
  although related to specialized areas, provides direct link between
  specialized languages and general language;

- systematic terminology management and updating domain specific
  dictionaries and thesauri, that are important aspects for maintaining
  the existing terminological resources. These aspects become crucial
  because the amount of the existing terminological resources is
  constantly increasing and because their perennial and efficient use
  depends on their maintenance and updating, while their re-acquisition
  is costly and often non-reproducible;

- monolingual and multilingual resources, that open the possibility for
  developing cross-lingual and multi-lingual applications, requires
  specific corpora, methods and tools which design and evaluation are
  challenging issues;

- robustness and portability of methods, which allows to apply methods
  developed in one given context to other contexts (corpora, domains,
  languages, etc.) and to share the research expertise among them;

- social netwoks and modern media processing, that attracts an
  increasing number of researchers and that provides challenging
  material to be processed;

- utilization of terminologies in various NLP applications, as they are
  a necessary component of any NLP system dealing with domain-specific
  literature, is another novel and challenging research direction.

The workshop submissions are open to different approaches, ranging from
term extraction in various languages (using verb co-occurrence,
information theoretic approaches, machine learning, etc.), translation
pairs extracting from bilingual corpora based on terminology, up to
semantic oriented approaches and theoretical aspects of terminology.
Besides, experiments on the evaluation of terminological methods and
tools are also encouraged since they provide interesting and useful
proof about the utility of terminological resources:

- direct evaluation may concern the efficiency of the terminological
  methods and tools to capture the terminological entities and
  relations, as well as various kinds of related information;

- indirect evaluation may concern the use of terminological resources in
  various NLP applications and the impact these resources have on the
  performance of the automatic systems. In this case, research and
  competition tracks (such as TREC, BioCreative, CLEF, CLEF-eHealth,
  I2B2, *SEM, and other shared tasks), provide particularly fruitful
  evaluation contexts and proved very successful in identifying key
  problems in terminology such as term variation and ambiguity.

We encourage authors to submit their research work related to various
aspects of computational terminology, such as mentioned in this
call. The workshop authors will be proposed to submit an extented
version of their work to a special issue of an international journal or
of a book collection.

================================
LD4KD 2014
1st Workshop on Linked Data for Knowledge Discovery

http://events.kmi.open.ac.uk/ld4kd2014/

co-located with the European Conference on Machine Learning and
Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery 2014 (ECML/PKDD 2014)
15-19 September 2014, Nancy, France (http://www.ecmlpkdd2014.org/ )

================================

Linked Data have attracted a lot of attention in recent years in many
research areas, as their technologies and principles provide new ways to
overcome typical data management and consumption issues such as
reliability, heterogeneity, provenance or completeness. However, the way
in which Linked Data can be applicable and beneficial to the Knowledge
Discovery (KDD) pocess is still not completely understood. Many aspects
of KDD could benefit from Linked Data, e.g. mining Linked Data sources,
using Linked Data to enrich, represent or integrate local data for data
preparation, interpretation or visualisation.

LD4KD will be an interactive hub to explore the benefits of Linked Data
principles and technologies for Knowledge Discovery, together with
addressing the new challenges that will emere from joining the two
fields. It will be an opportunity for practitioners of both fields to
create communication and collaboration channels,and bridge the gap
between their overlapping, but mostly isolated communities.

The workshop encourages the participation of researchers from the
Knowledge Discovery field to discuss and get informed about the use,
benefits and challenges of Linked Data, while th Linked Data researchers
can take advantage of and adapt Knowledge Discovery methods in their
domain.

*SCOPE*

We welcome high quality position and research papers in which (1) Linked
Data are used as support of Knowledge Discovery processes to extract
useful knowledge, or (2) Knowledge Discovery techniques are adapted to
work and possibly extend Linked Data.

Topics of either theoretical and applied interest include, but are not
limited to:

- Linked Data for data pre-processing: cleaning, sorting, filtering or
  enrichment
- Linked Data applied to Machine Learning
- Linked Data for pattern extraction and behaviour detection
- Linked Data for pattern interpretation, visualization or optimisation
- Reasoning with patterns and Linked Data
- Reasoning on and extracting knowledge from Linked Data
- Linked Data mining
- Links prediction or links discovery using KDD
- Graph mining in Linked Data
- Interacting with Linked Data for Knowledge Discovery

*IMPORTANT DATES*

Paper submission deadline: June 20th
Notification Of Acceptance: July 20th
Camera ready copies due: August 5th, 2014
Workshop date: September 15th/19th, 2014

*SUBMISSIONS*

Medical Information Retrieval (MedIR) Workshop http://medir.dcu.ie/

At SIGIR 2014, July 11 2014, Gold Coast, Australia
Call for Papers (2 & 4 page)

Submission deadline: **May 5**


Medical information search refers to methodologies and technologies that
seek to improve access to medical information archives via a process of
information retrieval (IR). Such information is now potentially
accessible from many sources including the general web, social media,
journal articles, and hospital records.

Medical information is of interest to a wide variety of users, including
patients and their families, researchers, general practitioners and
clinicians, and practitioners with specific expertise such as
radiologists.  Despite the popularity of the medical domain for users of
search engines, and current interest in this topic within the
information retrieval research community, development of search and
access technologies remains particularly challenging. One of the central
issues in medical information search is diversity of the users of these
services. In particular, they will have varying categories of
information needs, varying levels of medical knowledge, and varying
language skills. In addition, the format, reliability, and quality of
biomedical and medical information varies greatly. A single health
record can contain clinical notes, technical pathology data, images, and
patient-contributed histories, and may be linked by a physician to
research papers. The importance of health and medical topics and their
impact on people’s everyday lives makes the need for retrieval of
accurate and reliable information especially important.  Determining the
likely reliability of available information is challenging.  Finally, as
with information retrieval in general, the evaluation of medical search
tools is vital and challenging.  For example, there are no established
or standardized baselines or evaluation metrics, and limited
availability of test collections.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in medical
information search with the goal of identifying specific research
challenges that need to be addressed to advance the state-of-the-art and
to foster interdisciplinary collaborations towards the meeting of these
challenges. To enable this, we encourage participation from researchers
in all fields related to medical information search including mainstream
information retrieval, but also natural language processing,
multilingual text processing, and medical image analysis.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

   - Users and information needs
   - Semantics and NLP for medical IR
   - Reliability and trust in medical IR
   - Personalised search
   - Evaluation of medical IR
   - Multilingual issues in medical IR
   - Multimedia technologies in medical IR
   - The role of social media in medical IR

Paper Submissions

The workshop is now accepting paper submissions. Short papers (4 pages)
and short position papers (2 pages) describing approaches or ideas /
challenges on the topics of the workshop are invited. Submissions should

AIMS:

SLSP is a yearly conference series aimed at promoting and displaying
excellent research on the wide spectrum of statistical methods that are
currently in use in computational language or speech processing. It aims
at attracting contributions from both fields. Though there exist large,
well-known conferences and workshops hosting contributions to any of
these areas, SLSP is a more focused meeting where synergies between
subdomains and people will hopefully happen. In SLSP 2014, significant
room will be reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career
and particular focus will be put on methodology.

VENUE:

SLSP 2014 will take place in Grenoble, at the foot of the French Alps.

Inducing semantic dimensions for a Personal Information Platform
Position type: Post-doctoral Fellow
Functional area: Palaiseau
Research theme: Algorithmics, programmation, software and architecture
Project: AT-SAC
Scientific advisor: Gregory.Grefenstette at inria.fr
HR Contact: elodie.barra at inria.fr
Application deadline: 30/06/2014
 
 
About Inria and the job
Public science and technology institution established in 1967, Inria is
is the only public research body fully dedicated to computational
sciences. Combining computer sciences with mathematics, Inria's 3,400
researchers strive to invent the digital technologies of the future.

Educated at leading international universities, they creatively
integrate basic research with applied research and dedicate themselves
to solving real problems, collaborating with the main players in public
and private research in France and abroad and transferring the fruits of
their work to innovative companies. The researchers at Inria published
over 4,800 articles in 2010. They are behind over 270 active patents and
105 start-ups. In 2010, Inria's budget came to 252.5 million euros, 26%
of which represented its own resources.

With recent advances in technology behind the movements of Quantified
Self, LifeLogging and Souveillance, people will soon be generating
enormous quantities of data associated with the personal lives. The
TRACES project seeks to transform this data into classified information
and privately exploitable knowledge by creating the semantic structures
to access personal information archives. User generated personal data
can be textual (emails sent, internet posts, instant messages), attached
to a user from external sources (email sent, messages received, web
browsing history), or passively captured by wearable computing (GPS
coordinates, digital glasses motion captures, vital signs).

In order to store and retrieve and exploit this information, it has to
be classified and semantically annotated. To perform this
classification, we have semantic resources built by experts (e.g., MeSh
for medical knowledge, the NASA thesaurus for aeronautics, etc.) We have
general knowledge resources built by lexicographers (e.g. dictionaries,
WordNet). There are also crowd-sourced semantic resources (FreeBase,
DMOZ, etc.). But for this personal information, we will need personal
semantic resources. An example of such a resource is the face
recognition models that Google Photos or Facebook builds for your
labeled friends and family. We do not yet know how to build
user-oriented, personal semantic models and resources from a person?s
digital life: mails, browsing, quantified life, daily routes, vital
statistics. Though collection and classification of personal information
is exploited for categorising people into advertising or national
security categories, producing personal categories that allow a user to
exploit their own digitally generated and captured information for their
own benefit remains an open research problem that the TRACES project
addresses.
 
Mission
The principal mission of the postdoctoral candidate is to find new ways
of inducing taxonomies and semantic dimensions from user generated and
user captured personal data, integrating textual, quantified,
geolocalized, image, sound and video data. The postdoc will also assist
the TRACES team in developing algorithms and technology for creating a
platform for private, personal information management.
 
Job offer description
The postdoctoral researcher will perform the following work: implement
recent taxonomy/ontology induction algorithms, adapting them to the
problem of personal information (see references below), applying them to
personal data contributed by TRACES team members, evaluating results,
and present their results in an international conference or workshop;
aid TRACES members in the construction of a private personal information
platform based on open source information retrieval systems
(Lucene/SolR); discover and adapt existing open data taxonomies to the
platform; study how GPS information and other quantified personal data
can be integrated into and augment the personal semantic structures
induced from textual sources

Appel à Contributions

Atelier Applications Pratiques de l'Intelligence Artificielle

RFIA 2014 – Rouen – 30 juin et 1er juillet 2014

Les recherches en Intelligence Artificielle (IA) donnent lieu depuis de
nombreuses années à de belles applications qui sont maintenant déployées
surtout dans le domaine industriel mais pas uniquement. Le succès de ces
applications est tel qu’il n’étonne plus. Les modèles et technologies de
l’IA sont parfois intégrés à un tel point aux autres composants
informatiques que ces éléments fondamentaux ne sont plus visibles aux
utilisateurs et que les concepteurs les passent sous silence.

Cet atelier a pour objectif de « désenfouir » les éléments d’IA des
applications où ils sont intégrés et souhaite faire le point sur leurs
avancées. L’objectif est de proposer aux chercheurs, académiques,
industriels et autres, un lieu d’échange où ils puissent partager leurs
expériences, débattre des différents verrous qu’ils rencontrent et des
méthodes qu’ils mettent en œuvre, pour enrichir le potentiel applicatif
des modèles et outils de l’IA, en mettant en valeur l’IA de ces
applications.

Contributions

Les contributions attendues  (en français ou en anglais) peuvent être :

- des articles scientifiques (max 6 pages) ;

- des descriptions de réalisations ou d’expérimentations en cours (2
  pages);

Les formats de soumissions respecteront le format indiqué sur

--FCA4AI-- 
``What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?'' 
(Third Edition) 
co-located with ECAI 2014 

August 19 2014 

Prague, Czech Republic 

http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru 

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

General 

The first and the second editions of the FCA4AI Workshop (ECAI 2012,
Montpellier and IJCAI 2013, Beijing) showed that many researchers
working in Artificial Intelligence are indeed interested by a powerful
method for classification and mining such as Formal Concept Analysis
(see http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-939/ and http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1058/). We
have the chance to organize a new edition of the workshop in Prague at
the ECAI 2014 Conference.

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory
aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a
concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications) which can be
used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge processing involving learning,
knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology
engineering, and as well as information retrieval and text
processing. Thus, there exist many ``natural links'' between FCA and AI.

Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around
FCA, in particular a strand of work emerged that is aimed at extending
the possibilities of FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing, such as work on
pattern structures and relational context analysis. These extensions are
aimed at allowing FCA to deal with more complex than just binary data,
both from the data analysis and knowledge discovery point of view and
from the knowledge representation point of view, including, e.g.,
ontology engineering. All these works extend the capabilities of FCA and
offer new possibilities for AI activities in the framework of FCA.

Accordingly, in this workshop, we will be interested in two main issues:

- How can FCA support AI activities such as knowledge processing
  (knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning),

********************************************************* 
LG-LP 2014 - THIRD CALL FOR PAPERS 
********************************************************* 
Workshop on Lexical and Grammatical Resources for Language Processing
(LG-LP 2014)
Dublin, Ireland, 24 August 2014 
http://lg-lp.info/ [lg-lp.info] 
This workshop is held in conjunction with COLING 2014 
[www.coling-2014.org], co-sponsored by 
ASIALEX and endorsed by SIGLEX 


The workshop aims to bring together members of the language-resource
(LR) landscape, focusing on complex linguistic knowledge that requires
linguistic expertise, e.g. on dictionaries, ontologies and
grammars. Such manually-built resources are key to the development of
natural language processing (NLP) tools and applications. The workshop
intends to strengthen the cohesion of the scientific "production chain"
spanning from the construction of LRs by linguists to their exploitation
in hybrid or symbolic NLP. It is necessary to increase mutual awareness
between researchers along this production chain, regarding their
activities, skills and needs, in view of improving the building
processes of the resources, their validation and their exploitation.

Many linguists are comfortable with descriptive tasks such as checking
lexical entries for a given feature, even if each entry requires
analysing or pondering. On the other hand, computer scientists are
familiar with formalization and, usually, with notions such as
falsifiability or reproducibility, which are fundamental to
sciences. Combining all these skills is likely to stimulate
innovation. The workshop offers an opportunity of interaction which is
required to overcome the compartmentalization between humanities and
sciences, and to intensify co-operation between the two ends of the
chain.

Paper Submission Deadline (Changed) : May 16, 2014 (11:59 pm GMT)

Apologies for cross-posting,

Submissions are invited for the 2nd international workshop on
Multidisciplinary Approaches to Big Social Data Analysis (MABSDA), a
UAI'14 workshop exploring the new frontiers of big data computing for
opinion mining through machine learning techniques, knowledge-based
systems, adaptive and transfer learning, in order to more efficiently
retrieve and extract social information from the Web. The workshop is
going to be held in Quebec City on 27th July. For more information,
please visit: http://sentic.net/mabsda

RATIONALE
As the Web rapidly evolves, Web users are evolving with it. In the 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 Social Web to expand exponentially. The distillation of knowledge
from such a large amount of unstructured information, however, is an
extremely difficult task, as the contents of today's Web are perfectly
suitable for human consumption, but remain hardly accessible to
machines. The opportunity to capture the opinions of the general public
about social events, political movements, company strategies, marketing
campaigns, and product preferences has raised growing interest both
within the scientific community, leading to many exciting open
challenges, as well as in the business world, due to the remarkable
benefits to be had from marketing and financial market prediction.

TOPICS
MABSDA aims to provide an international forum for researchers in the
field of big data computing for opinion mining and sentiment analysis to
share information on their latest investigations in social information
retrieval and their applications both in academic research areas and
industrial sectors. The broader context of the workshop comprehends
information retrieval, natural language processing, web mining, semantic
web, and artificial intelligence.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Machine learning for sentiment mining
- Concept-level sentiment analysis
- Biologically-inspired opinion mining
- Sentiment identification & classification
- Association rule learning for opinion mining
- Time evolving opinion & sentiment analysis
- Multi-modal sentiment analysis
- Multi-domain & cross-domain evaluation
- Knowledge base construction & integration with opinion analysis
- Transfer learning of opinion & sentiment with knowledge bases
- Sentiment topic detection & trend discovery
- Social ranking
- Social network analysis
- Opinion spam detection

SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS
Paper submission and reviewing will be handled electronically via
EasyChair.  Submissions should be formatted in the UAI format and papers
(including figures and text) are limited to 9 pages in length. An
additional 10th page is allowed containing only references. Optional
submissions of supplementary materials are allowed. However, reviewers
are under no obligation to look at the submitted supplementary
materials, and will base their review primarily on the main paper.
Papers that are currently under review or have already been accepted or
published in a refereed venue, including conferences and journals, may
not be submitted. Authors are strongly encouraged to make data and code
publicly available when possible. The review process is double
blind. Please make sure that the submission does not disclose the
author's identities or affiliation.  Selected, expanded versions of
papers presented at the workshop will be invited to a forthcoming
Special Issue of Cognitive Computation on opinion mining and sentiment
analysis.

Title : Describing images in natural language: Towards visually
grounded semantics

Abstract : When we read a descriptive sentences like “People are
shopping in a supermarket”, we picture an indoor scene where customers
are pushing shopping carts down aisles of produce or other goods,
standing to look at the items on the shelves, or waiting in line to pay,
etc. That is, if we understand a sentence, we infer what other facts are
likely to be true in any situation described by that sentence. These
inferences are an integral part of language understanding, but they
require a great deal of commonsense world knowledge. In this talk, I
will consider two tasks that require systems to draw similar inferences
automatically.
First, I will describe our work on developing systems and data sets to
associate images with sentences that describe what is depicted in
them. I will show that systems that rely on visual and linguistic
features that can be obtained with minimal supervision perform
surprisingly well at describing new images. I will also define a
ranking-based framework to evaluate such systems. In the second part of
this talk, I will describe how we can combine ideas from distributional
lexical semantics and denotational formal semantics to define novel
measures of semantic similarity. We define the 'visual denotation' of
linguistic expressions as the set of images they describe, and use our
data set of 30K images and 150K descriptive captions to construct a
'denotation graph', i.e. a very large subsumption hierarchy over
linguistic expressions and their denotations. This allows us to compute
denotational similarities, which we show to yield state-of-the-art
performance on tasks that require semantic inference.

Appel à articles pour un dossier publié en 2015 dans la revue Les Enjeux
de l'information et la communication

« Patrimoine et collections numériques : politiques, pratiques
professionnelles, usages et dispositifs. »

Coordinatrices du dossier : 


Viviane Clavier (Gresec, Université Stendhal - Grenoble3) 
Céline Paganelli (Gresec, Université Paul Valéry - Montpellier3) 


Le dossier 2015 des Enjeux de l’information et de la communication
s’intéresse aux dispositifs d’accès aux collections numériques, à leurs
représentations, à leur conception et à leurs usages en mettant les
spécialistes au centre du questionnement. Ces spécialistes peuvent être
des chercheurs (historiens, sociologues, cartographes, spécialistes de
littérature,…), des enseignants (du secondaire, de l’enseignement
supérieur), des amateurs éclairés, des professionnels (architectes,
chorégraphes, metteurs en scène, conservateurs, designers). Alors que la
numérisation de collections patrimoniales se poursuit à un rythme
soutenu, les discours qui accompagnent ces programmes mettent en avant
des préoccupations de conservation et de mise à disposition du grand
public. Par le biais de son programme « démocratisation culturelle et de
transmission des savoirs », le Ministère de la Culture a fait, depuis
plusieurs années, de la numérisation du patrimoine culturel une de ses
priorités. S’inscrivant dans cet objectif, des institutions, notamment
les musées, services d’archives ou bibliothèques de lecture publique,
sont ainsi partie prenante de nombre de ces projets, cherchant ainsi à
ouvrir leurs collections au grand public. Les enjeux de la mise en ligne
de ces « trésors » patrimoniaux se déplacent alors autour de la
médiation à l’intention de publics que l’on cherche à identifier :
public ordinaire ou empêché, scolaires, etc.

Pourtant, les spécialistes sont au cœur de ces dispositifs. D’abord,
parce que des enquêtes d’usages révèlent que la consultation de ces
documents intervient dans un cadre spécialisé, voire
professionnel. C’est ainsi que le patrimoine numérique de presse du 19
ème siècle mis en ligne par la Bibliothèque municipale de Lyon constitue
un outil de travail pour les organes de presse ou pour les historiens,
que les manuscrits modernes d’auteurs (Balzac, Flaubert, Stendhal,
etc.), lorsqu’ils sont numérisés, sont une ressource incontournable des
spécialistes en littérature. Ensuite, parce que les spécialistes de ces
collections sont soit à l’initiative, soit associés à ces projets de
numérisation et de valorisation de collections. C’est le cas par exemple
des programmes de numérisation de manuscrits d’auteurs dans lesquels
sont impliqués des chercheurs en littérature, des collections de films
numérisés par le Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image animée, ou
encore des archives photographiques mises en ligne par la Médiathèque de
l’Architecture et du Patrimoine.

Le dossier pour lequel cet appel à articles est proposé, est consacré à
des dispositifs d’accès aux collections numériques pensés par, pour ou
avec des spécialistes de domaines tels la littérature, la mode, la
danse, la musique, le théâtre, les arts graphiques, la photographie, les
sciences et les techniques, l’audiovisuel, etc. Ces dispositifs peuvent
être partie prenante de programmes de numérisation ambitieux impliquant
des institutions de référence telles les bibliothèques, les centres
d’archives, les musées, les services patrimoniaux, mais également
d’autres acteurs émanant d’organisations privées ou publiques qui
cherchent à valoriser leurs archives d’images et de textes, leur
patrimoine scientifique, technique, industriel. Dans tous les cas, il
s’agit de montrer quel rôle jouent les spécialistes dans la promotion,
la diffusion, la valorisation et la médiation de ces collections
numérisées. Et outre, il s’agit de s’interroger sur la manière dont les
dispositifs sont pensés pour s’intégrer à des pratiques professionnelles
clairement identifiées. Cette analyse ne se limite par aux aspects
techniques des dispositifs mais prend en compte l’environnement social
et les stratégies d’acteurs qui en sont à l’origine. Les contributions
s’inscrivent au sein de l’un des axes suivants :

Axe 1. Enjeux autour des dispositifs 

Ce premier axe propose une analyse des dispositifs de valorisation de
collections numériques. Qui sont les acteurs impliqués dans la mise en
place de ces dispositifs (laboratoires de recherche, bibliothèques ou
services d’archives publiques) ? Quelles sont les stratégies développées
? Quels sont les caractéristiques et les objectifs énoncés pour ces
dispositifs ? Quelles distinctions sont établies entre ce qui relève de
la publication, de l’auto-promotion, de la publicisation et de la
vulgarisation ?

Axe 2. Contextes et médiations 

Le deuxième axe envisage le rôle des spécialistes dans la mise en œuvre
de formes de médiation destinées à valoriser les collections (parcours
pédagogiques, parcours thématiques, expositions virtuelles, etc.). Quels
sont les rapports qui se tissent entre médiation numérique et sociale
dans des lieux culturels (bibliothèques, musées, etc.), ou au sein
d’événements comme la Fête du Livre ou la Fête de la Science ? Quelles
actions sont développées pour valoriser des territoires ou des publics
(ordinaires, empêchés...) ?

Axe 3. Constructions sociales et pratiques informationnelles 

Le troisième axe analyse les usages des dispositifs d’accès aux
collections numériques et la place qu’occupent ces dispositifs dans les
pratiques informationnelles des différents acteurs concernés : grand
public, spécialistes, professionnels de l’information et des
bibliothèques. Qui sont les usagers de ces dispositifs ? Pour quelles
raisons y ont-ils recours ? Quelle est la place de ces dispositifs dans
leurs pratiques informationnelles ? Comment ces dispositifs
s’articulent-ils avec d’autres ressources documentaires ?
Renouvellent-ils les pratiques en lien avec leur conception ?

Axe 4. Organisation des connaissances 

Le quatrième axe envisage les modes d’organisation des connaissances de
dispositifs informationnels destinés à représenter, organiser et
structurer des connaissances utiles aux spécialistes. De quelle nature
sont ces connaissances (langagières, audio-visuelles, graphiques…) ?
Comment sont-elles structurées ? Comment y accède-t-on ? Quel rôle
jouent les documents ? Quelles sont les modalités de lecture, d’écriture
et de partage des connaissances ?

Modalités de soumission 

Le dossier 2015 des Enjeux de l’information et de la communication
sollicite des analyses récentes et des contributions originales sur les
questions évoquées supra. Les approches relevant des sciences de
l’information et de la communication sont privilégiées. Les travaux
portant sur des expériences menées dans d’autres pays que la France sont
les bienvenus.

Les propositions (4000 signes espaces non compris) indiquant
problématique et méthodologie sont à adresser à Viviane Clavier et
Céline Paganelli pour le 1er septembre 2014 . Adresses :
viviane.clavier at u-grenoble3.fr et celine.paganelli at univ-montp3.fr

Après sélection par le comité de lecture (réponse le 15 octobre 2014 ),
les premières versions complètes des textes (de 25 000 signes espaces
non compris et rédigés selon les normes éditoriales des articles de la
revue disponibles à cette adresse :
http://lesenjeux.u-grenoble3.fr/pageshtml/soumettre.html) sont à
remettre pour le 15 décembre 2014 , elles seront soumises alors à une
évaluation en double aveugle.

A la suite de cette phase, la version définitive du texte (prenant en
compte les éventuelles remarques et critiques des évaluateurs), incluant
les corrections mineures ou majeures demandées, sera soumise au comité
éditorial de la revue qui est souverain pour l’accord définitif de
publication en mars 2015.

2ème APPEL À DÉMONSTRATION — JEP’2014

Le Mans du 23 au 27 juin 2014

CALENDRIER

Date limite de soumission : 18 mai 2014
Notification aux auteurs : 23 mai 2014

PRÉSENTATION

Organisée par l’équipe LST du LIUM (Laboratoire d'Informatique de
l'Université du Maine) et l'équipe TALN du LINA (Laboratoire
d'Informatique de Nantes Atlantique), la conférence JEP’2014 se tiendra
du 23 au 27 juin 2014 au Mans.

La conférence JEP’2014 comprendra des communications orales et
affichées, des conférences invitées et une session de démonstration.

ORGANISATION

Les organisateurs de la conférence ont le plaisir d’inviter les
participants à présenter des démonstrations de logiciels, de prototypes
qui s’appuient sur des méthodes de traitement automatique de la
parole. Dans ce cadre, les professionnels de l’industrie peuvent faire
acte de candidature pour présenter leur logiciel au cours de cette
session. 
L’objet de cette dernière est d’offrir un cadre d’interaction entre les
milieux industriel et académique sur les questions inhérentes au
traitement automatique de la parole. 
Lorsqu'elles permettent ce type d'interaction, les présentations
d'études sur la parole qui ne concernent ni logiciel ni prototype sont
également invitées.

La session DEMONSTRATIONS ET INDUSTRIELLE, accueillera des présentations
sous les formes suivantes (selon les besoins et disponibilités) :

stand d’exposant ;
affiche de présentation ;
démonstration de produits logiciels.

La première partie cette session ne sera accessible qu'aux conférenciers
inscrits à la conférence. Dans un effort de dissémination scientifique
et technique, la seconde partie de la session sera ouverte au grand
public.

Pour participer, les candidats devront envoyer un résumé (2 page maximum
au format de la conférence) aux adresses : yannick.esteve at univ-lemans.fr
et emmanuel.morin at univ-nantes.fr le 11 mai 2014 au plus tard. Les
participants seront choisis par le comité d’organisation, indépendament
du processus de sélection scientifique habituel. Les critères de
sélection s’appuieront sur la pertinence des propositions au regard des
thématiques affichées par la conférences JEP et de leur potentiel
d'interactions entre milieu industriel et académique.

=======================================================

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
(details below).

SHARED TASK

As part of the Arabic Natural Language Processing Workshop at EMNLP
2014, we will conduct a shared task on Automatic Arabic Error
Correction. We designed this task in the traditions of high profile
shared tasks in natural language processing such as CONLL?s
grammar/error detection and correction shared tasks in 2011-2013 and
numerous machine translation campaigns by NIST/WMT/MEDAR, among others.
The task relies on resources created under the Qatar Arabic Language
Bank (QALB) project (currently over 1M words of manually corrected
Arabic text).

A participating system in this shared task will be given Modern Standard
Arabic texts, which are to be automatically corrected. The input will be
provided in Arabic script, and will be annotated for part-of-speech (in
different granularities), inflectional features, clitics (which appear
in 20% of Arabic words), lemmas, and English glosses.  All of the input
text will be preprocessed in a common way to make sure all participants
have access to all of these features at no additional overhead novelty
cost.  We follow the file format and evaluation framework used by the
CONLL shared tasks on error correction. The task is focused on
correction as opposed to identification. There will not be an error
identification task per se.

Participants need to register.  Once registered, all participating teams
will be provided with a common training data set, which includes common
preprocessed input and corrected output. Registration link is on the
Shared Task Website (see above). A common development set will also be
provided. A blind test data set will be used to evaluate the output of
the participating teams. An evaluation script will be provided to all
the teams.  Each participating team can submit up to three systems.
Participants are welcome to use additional resources and tools that are
not part of the released data set. However, all such additions must be
fully disclosed.

Participants are expected to author a short paper (4 pages + 2 for
references) describing their approach, resources and experiments.  The
paper needs to follow the standard format of EMNLP conference.

       4th International Workshop on Computational Terminology
			    CompuTerm 2014

			 COLING 2014 Workshop
		  23 August 2014, Dublin, Ireland
	      http://perso.limsi.fr/hamon/Computerm2014/

*Extended deadline: 24 May 2014*

Invited speaker: Noemie Elhadad (Department of Biomedical Informatics,
                                 Columbia University, USA)

Call for submissions:

Computational Terminology covers an increasingly important aspect in
Natural Language Processing areas such as text mining, information
retrieval, information extraction, summarisation, textual entailment,
document management systems, question-answering systems, ontology
building, etc. Terminological information is paramount for knowledge
mining from texts for scientific discovery and competitive
intelligence. Scientific needs in fast growing domains (such as
biomedicine, chemistry and ecology) and the overwhelming amount of
textual data published daily demand that terminology is acquired and
managed systematically and automatically; while in well established
domains (such as law, economy, banking and music) the demand is on
fine-grained analyses of documents for knowledge description and
acquisition. Moreover, capturing new concepts leads to the acquisition
and management of new knowledge.

The aim of this fourth CompuTerm workshop is to bring together Natural
Language Processing researchers to discuss recent advances in
computational terminology and its impact in many NLP applications. The
topics addressed in this workshop are wide ranging:

- term extraction, recognition and filtering, which is the core
  of the terminological activity that lays basis for other
  terminological topics and tasks;

- event recognition and extraction, that extends the notion of the
  terminological entity from terms meaning static units up to terms
  meaning procedural and dynamic processes;

- acquisition of semantic relations among terms, which is also an
  important research topic as the acquisition of semantic
  relationships between terms finds applications such as the
  population and update of existing knowledge bases, definition
  of domain specific templates in information extraction and
  disambiguation of terms;

- term variation management, that helps to deal with the dynamic
  nature of terms, their acquisition from heterogeneous sources, their
  integration, standardisation and representation for a large range of
  applications and resources, is also increasingly important, as one
  has to address this research problem when working with various
  controlled vocabularies, thesauri, ontologies and textual data. Term
  variation is also related to their paraphrases and reformulations,
  due to historical, regional, local or personal issues. Besides, the
  discovery of synonym terms or term clusters is equally
  beneficial to many NLP applications;

- definition acquisition, that covers important research and
  aims to provide precise and nonambiguous description of
  terminological entities.  Such definitions may contain
  elements necessary for the formal description of terms and concepts
  within ontologies;

- consideration of the user expertise, that is becoming a new issue in
  the terminological activity, takes into account the fact that
  specialized domains contain notions and terms often
  nonunderstandable to non-experts or to laymen (such as patients
  within the medical area, or bank clients within banking and economy
  areas). This aspect, although related to specialized areas, provides
  direct link between specialized languages and general language;

- systematic terminology management and updating domain specific
  dictionaries and thesauri, that are important aspects for
  maintaining the existing terminological resources. These aspects
  become crucial because the amount of the existing terminological
  resources is constantly increasing and because their perennial and
  efficient use depends on their maintenance and updating, while
  their re-acquisition is costly and often non-reproducible;

- monolingual and multilingual resources, that open the possibility
  for developing cross-lingual and multi-lingual applications,
  requires specific corpora, methods and tools which design and
  evaluation are challenging issues;

- robustness and portability of methods, which allows to apply methods
  developed in one given context to other contexts (corpora, domains,
  languages, etc.) and to share the research expertise among them;

- social netwoks and modern media processing, that attracts an
  increasing number of researchers and that provides challenging
  material to be processed;

- utilization of terminologies in various NLP applications, as they
  are a necessary component of any NLP system dealing with
  domain-specific literature, is another novel and challenging
  research direction.

The workshop submissions are open to different approaches, ranging
from term extraction in various languages (using verb co-occurrence,
information theoretic approaches, machine learning, etc.), translation
pairs extracting from bilingual corpora based on terminology, up to
semantic oriented approaches and theoretical aspects of terminology.
Besides, experiments on the evaluation of terminological methods and
tools are also encouraged since they provide interesting and useful
proof about the utility of terminological resources:

- direct evaluation may concern the efficiency of the
  terminological methods and tools to capture the terminological
  entities and relations, as well as various kinds of related
  information;

- indirect evaluation may concern the use of terminological resources
  in various NLP applications and the impact these resources have on
  the performance of the automatic systems. In this case, research and
  competition tracks (such as TREC, BioCreative, CLEF, CLEF-eHealth,
  I2B2, *SEM, and other shared tasks), provide particularly fruitful
  evaluation contexts and proved very successful in identifying key
  problems in terminology such as term variation and ambiguity.

We encourage authors to submit their research work related to various
aspects of computational terminology, such as mentioned in this
call. The workshop authors will be proposed to submit an extented
version of their work to a special issue of an international journal
or of a book collection.

Les masters d'Ingénierie de la langue de Paris-Sorbonne, ILGII (R) et
IILGI (P), sont maintenant regroupés dans une seule spécialité de la
mention Littérature, Philosophie, Linguistique.
Les deux années du master Langue et Informatique apportent des
connaissances fondamentales sur la langue et son traitement automatique,
sur les interactions langagières et la modélisation des phénomènes
paralangagiers, ainsi que sur l'ingénierie des connaissances. Les
enseignements de spécialité développent également des savoirs et des
savoir-faire : analyse et compréhension de textes ; reconnaissance et
synthèse de la parole ; sciences affectives et systèmes de dialogue ;
résumé et traduction assistés par ordinateur; extraction et construction
des connaissances ; intelligence économique. Les enseignements
méthodologiques du tronc commun de la mention permettent d'articuler ces
enseignements spécialisés avec ce qui relève de l'épistémologie de la
littérature, de la philologie et de la linguistique. Ce master comporte
deux parcours : un parcours professionnel « Ingénierie de la Langue pour
la Société Numérique (ILSN) » et un parcours recherche « Informatique,
Langue et Interactions (ILI) ». La différenciation entre les deux
parcours se fait au semestre 4.

MASTER ICCD (Information Communication Culture et Documentation) 

Spécialité SID (Sciences de l’Information et du document)

http://www.univ-lille3.fr/ufr-deccid/sid/

Master ICCD (Sciences de l’Information, Communication, Culture et
Documentation)

Spécialité SID : Sciences de l’Information et du document

Rentrée 2014-2015 

Site : Pont de Bois, Villeneuve d’Ascq 

A la rentrée 2014, le Master ICCD de l’Université de Lille 3 comporte
parmi ses trois spécialités, la Spécialité SID (Sciences de
l’Information et du document).

Les formations répondent à une demande constante du monde du travail
dans les divers domaines de la gestion de l’information et des
connaissances (GIDE), de l’édition multimédia (IDEMM), de la veille et
de l’intelligence économique (PRISME), de la gestion de projets ou du
conseil au sein des organismes publics et privés ou la poursuite de la
formation en vue de l’obtention d’un doctorat en Sciences de
l’Information et de la Communication destinant les étudiants aux métiers
de l’enseignement et de la recherche (SCCD).

Parcours GIDE

Le parcours GIDE (Gestion de l’Information et des Documents pour
l’Entreprise) est consacré aux systèmes d’information documentaire
(conception, gestion, audit). De la gestion de l’information et des
connaissances (knowledge management, travail collaboratif)), à
l’archivistique et au records management, en passant par les différentes
modalités de la gestion électronique de document, ce sont tous les
aspects des systèmes documentaires et de leur usage dans des contextes
spécifiques qui sont étudiés. L’accent est mis, par ailleurs, sur la
gestion de projet et la méthodologie de l’audit afin de former tant aux
métiers opérationnels qu’à ceux du conseil aux entreprises dans ce
domaine.

Responsable pédagogique de la formation : Laurence Favier

Parcours IDEMM

Fortement ancré dans le champ de l’ingénierie multimédia, le parcours
IDEMM (Ingénierie Documentaire, Edition et Médiation Multimédia) vise à
développer des compétences relatives à la production éditoriale et
informatique de documents et aux processus médiatisés d’information, en
particulier sur le web. IDEMM a pour finalité de former des
professionnels spécialistes du document multimédia maîtrisant la
conception et l'édition, le management et la communication, l'analyse et
l’évaluation de produits sur le web (Webmaster, Chef de projet web,
Architecte d’information, Community manager, Responsable de
communication web, Rédacteur web, Cyberdocumentaliste, Consultant(e) en
ergonomie multimédia, Responsable de plan media, Spécialiste de
référencement et de web analytics…)

Responsable pédagogique de la formation : Ismaïl Timimi

Parcours PRISME

Le parcours Produits d’Information Spécialisée et Médiation Electronique
vise à former des professionnels de la veille informationnelle, de
l’ingénierie documentaire et, plus généralement, de la gestion des
contenus numériques. À l’issue de la formation, les étudiants sont en
mesure de concevoir et réaliser des produits et systèmes d’information
répondant aux besoins exprimés dans différents contextes (entreprises,
collectivités territoriales, organismes publics…), et en particulier de
mettre en place un processus de veille adapté. Ils peuvent ainsi
s’intégrer aisément dans les réseaux de veille et les centres de
documentation existants, ou rejoindre les structures spécialisées dans
la médiation de l’information (courtiers, analystes, conseils…).

Responsable pédagogique de la formation : Stéphane Chaudiron

Parcours SCCD

Le parcours Société, Communication, Culture, Documentation propose une
formation à la recherche – par la recherche mais aussi en étroite
connexion avec les terrains professionnels – en Sciences de
l’Information et de la Communication. Il se donne ainsi pour objectif de
fournir aux étudiants les principaux balisages théoriques et repères
conceptuels fondant le champ scientifique de cette discipline, de les
éclairer sur les problématiques de ce champ, de les amener à bien
identifier et maîtriser les différentes procédures méthodologiques afin
qu’ils puissent mettre en œuvre, par eux-mêmes, une démarche de
recherche. En ce sens, il vise les métiers et fonctions liées à
l’analyse des enjeux et à la recherche. Prenant appui sur les axes de
recherche développés par GERIICO (analyse des médias et des pratiques
médiatiques, approches culturelles, communication organisationnelle,
sciences de l’information et du document…), il est spécifique, dans la
région et globalement dans la zone située au nord de Paris, par la
pluralité des approches qu’il propose pour analyser et concevoir des
dispositifs info-communicationnels. Le parcours SCCD peut conduire à la
poursuite d’études en Sciences de l’Information et de la communication
pour les étudiants qui souhaitent continuer en doctorat et s’orienter
vers les métiers de la recherche. Le doctorat est accueilli au sein de
l’Ecole doctorale régionale en SHS.

                      http://www.stringology.org

                           Call for Papers

              Prague, Czech Republic, September 1-3, 2014

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

* New: indexed by Scopus and Thomson Reuters

PSC 2014 is the 19th event of the Prague Stringology Club. It is an
international conference focusing on stringology and related areas. It
is organized annually by the Prague Stringology Club, a research group
in the Department of Theoretical Computer Science at the Faculty of
Information Technology of Czech Technical University in Prague. The
proceedings of recent conferences are indexed in Thomson Reuters, Scopus
and DBLP.



TOPICS:

Stringology is a part of algorithmic research that deals with the
processing of text strings. It has existed for at least thirty years and
developed into a respected subfield of its own. The last twenty years
have produced an explosion of new results. This progress is due in part
to the human genome effort, an area to which string algorithms make
important contributions. String processing extends into tree processing
that is called Arbology. The topics of the conference include but are
not limited to:

  * algorithms for pattern matching in strings, images and trees
  * data structures (automata, trees etc.) for pattern matching
    in strings, images and trees
  * coding and data compression
  * bioinformatics
  * information retrieval
  * string processing algorithms in databases
  * searching for regularities
  * natural language processing



INVITED TALK:

  * The Number of Distinct Squares Problem
    Frantisek Franek, McMaster University, Canada



SUBMISSION:

Authors are cordially invited to submit their full papers (PDF format,
up to 15 pages, A4 page format) by May 20, 2014. The paper should start
with the title, each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, and
a one-paragraph summary of the results and ideas. The paper should be
submitted via submission server
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=psc20140).

For their final version the papers are required to be prepared using the
LaTeX style available at http://www.stringology.org/pscproc2 which has
an interface compatible to the standard LNCS style.

HISTORY:

PSC 2014 was preceded by Prague Stringology Workshops in 1996-2000 and
by Prague Stringology Conferences in 2001-2006, 2008-2013. Each year
proceedings are prepared for the conference. They are published by Czech
Technical University in Prague and are also available from the PSC web
pages. Selected papers from the later workshops were also published in a
special issue of the journal Kybernetika. Selected papers from the
2002-2006, 2008 conferences were then published in the Nordic Journal of
Computing, Journal of Automata, Languages, and Combinatorics,
International Journal of Foundations in Computer Science, and Discrete
Applied Mathematics.



LOCATION & PUBLICATION:

PSC 2014 will be held at the Department of Theoretical Computer Science
the Czech Technical University in Prague on September 1-3, 2014.  (The
precise location will be announced later.) The working language is
English. As usual, accepted papers will appear in conference proceedings
published by the Czech Technical University in Prague and distributed at
the conference. After further refereeing, selected papers will then be
published in an international journal.

IMPORTANT DATES
===============

1 June 2014: Proposal submission deadline
23 September 2014: Notification
June 2015: Course material due

TOPICS AND FORMAT
=================

Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI'2015 are invited in all
areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computing Sciences.
Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged.

Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions,
offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week. Proposals for two-week
courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week
courses, e.g. as an introductory course followed by an advanced one.  In
such cases, the ESSLLI programme committee reserves the right to accept
just one of the two proposals.

All instructional and organizational work at ESSLLI is performed
completely on a voluntary basis, so as to keep participation fees to a
minimum. However, organizers and instructors have their registration
fees waved, and are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses up
to a level to be determined and communicated with the proposal
notification. ESSLLI can only guarantee reimbursement for at most one
course/workshop organizer, and can not guarantee full reimbursement of
travel costs for lecturers or organizers from outside of Europe. The
ESSLLI organizers would appreciate any help in controlling the School's
expenses by seeking complete coverage of travel and accommodation
expenses from other sources.

CATEGORIES
==========

Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories.

* FOUNDATIONAL COURSES *
Such courses are designed to present the basics of a research area, to
people with no prior knowledge in that area. They should be of
elementary level, without prerequisites in the course's topic, though
possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the relevant
discipline. They should enable researchers from related disciplines to
develop a level of comfort with the fundamental concepts and techniques
of the course's topic, thereby contributing to the interdisciplinary
nature of our research community.

* INTRODUCTORY COURSES *
Introductory courses are central to ESSLLI's mission. They are intended
to introduce a research field to students, young researchers, and other
non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its basic
methods and techniques. Such courses should enable researchers from
related disciplines to develop some comfort and competence in the topic
considered. Introductory courses in a cross-disciplinary area may
presuppose general knowledge of the related disciplines.

* ADVANCED COURSES *
Advanced courses are targeted primarily to graduate students who wish to
acquire a level of comfort and understanding in the current research of
a field.

* WORKSHOPS *
Workshops focus on specialized topics, usually of current interest.
Workshops organizers are responsible for soliciting papers and selecting
the workshop programme. They are also responsible for publishing
proceedings if they decide to have proceedings.

PROPOSAL GUIDELINES
===================

Course and workshop proposals should follow closely the following
guidelines to ensure full consideration.

Each course may have no more than two instructors, and each workshop no
more than two organizers. All instructors and organizers must possess a
PhD or equivalent degree by the submission deadline.

Course proposals should mention explicitly the intended course
category. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the
intended level, for example as it relates to standard textbooks and
monographs in the area. Proposals for advanced courses should specify
the prerequisites in detail.

Proposals must be submitted in PDF format via:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esslli2015

and include all of the following:

a. Personal information for each proposer: Name, affiliation, contact
   address, email, homepage (optional)

b. General proposal information: Title, category

c. Contents information:
     Abstract of up to 150 words
     Motivation and description (up to two pages)
     Tentative outline
     Expected level and prerequisites
     Appropriate references (e.g. textbooks, monographs, proceedings,
     surveys)

d. Practical information:
     Relevant preceding meetings and events, if applicable
     Potential external funding for participants

Proposition de thèse au laboratoire STL UMR8163 CNRS, Université Lille 3

Les médecins et les patients sont deux des acteurs principaux impliqués
dans les relations médicales de soin. Leur communication et leur
compréhension mutuelles couvrent donc un aspect d’autant plus important
que la réussite du processus de soins dépend de la réussite de cette
interaction (McCray, 2005; Jucks & Bromme, 2007). La compréhension joue
en effet un rôle important car elle permet aux patients de bien
comprendre leur diagnostic, de comprendre les traitements prescrits et
de suivre les instructions thérapeutiques telles qu’indiquées par les
médecins, mais aussi de prendre les décisions quant à leur santé, ce qui
est un aspect particulièrement important dans le cadre de maladies
chroniques, où les patients doivent apprendre à gérer par eux-mêmes la
maladie au quotidien. Pourtant, dans de nombreuses situations, les
patients ont du mal à comprendre les différentes étapes relatives par
exemple à la bonne administration de médicaments (Patel et al., 2002), à
bien comprendre les instructions que leur donnent un praticien ou une
équipe médicale sur les médicaments, les consensus informés ou même les
brochures de santé (Williams et al., 1995), et, de manière plus
générale, à comprendre les informations présentes dans les sites de
santé sur la Toile (Berland et al., 2001; Tran et al., 2009). En effet,
la médecine étant un domaine de spécialité, relevant de l’acquisition
d’une culture savante, elle dispose de notions très spécifiques et
souvent opaques pour les personnes non expertes de ce domaine, en
particulier les patients dont la « compétence médicale » (Boltanski,
1971) peut être très variable, en fonction aussi de l’environnement
socio-culturel de ceux-ci. L’objectif de la health literacy des patients
(Rudd, 2013), ou de la lisibilité des écrits médicaux, a justement pour
objectif de proposer des moyens de remédier à cette situation et d’aider
les patients à être plus à l’aise avec les informations médicales, voire
à renforcer leur compétence en matière d’agentivité dans la relation de
soin.

Le sujet proposé vise à contribuer aux travaux de health literacy et à
l’analyse de la communication entre les patients et les médecins. Ce
sujet présente un caractère transdisciplinaire car il se trouve à
l’intersection entre plusieurs disciplines telles que la linguistique,
la philosophie, le traitement automatique de langues et la santé.

La thèse sera effectuée au sein du laboratoire STL (Savoirs, Textes,
Langage) UMR CNRS 8163 à l'Université Lille 3.  C'est un laboratoire de
recherche multidisciplinaire réunissant des chercheurs en linguistique,
philologie, philosophie et histoire des sciences. La force de la
recherche est consolidée par la collaboration entre les disciplines
théoriques et appliquée comme le Traitement Automatique de
Langues. Depuis plusieurs années, STL est impliqué dans les projets liés
au domaine biomédical et à l'éthique médicale.

9h15-9h30	Ouverture de DOCTILING

9h30-10h00	Analyse automatique des verbes dans des corpus médicaux :
                enjeux théoriques et appliqués, Ornella Wandji Tchami

Le domaine médical est qualifié d’hétérogène parce qu'il rassemble des
acteurs, principalement les patients et les médecins, ayant des niveaux
d’expertise différents. Ces acteurs sont appelés à interagir bien que la
communication entre eux ne soit pas toujours facile et effective. En
effet, des études relevant de différents domaines : médecine,
informatique médical et Traitement automatique des Langues démontrent
que les patients et/ou, plus largement, les profanes en matière de
connaissances médicales sont victimes de la complexité des informations
mises à leur disposition. Notre projet de recherche vise à proposer une
méthode automatique de détection des difficultés de lecture dans des
textes médicaux fortement spécialisés. En effet, à partir d'une analyse
syntaxico-sémantique des structures verbales dans des corpus médicaux,
basée sur la théorie des cadres sémantiques, notre objectif principal
est d'implémenter un outil de simplification de textes médicaux, capable
d'identifier les emplois verbaux qui pourraient être difficilement
compris et interprétés par des lecteurs non experts en médecine. L'outil
proposera éventuellement des structures verbales simplifiées et adaptées
aux niveaux de spécialisation des patients afin de faciliter
l'inter-compréhension et la communication médecins/patients.

10h00-10h30	La traduction de discours juridiques à vocation
                internationale : Le cas des textes des Nations Unies,
                Hanaa Beldjerd

La première partie constitue un survol des principales théories et
approches qui ont forgé la traductologie contemporaine. Il contient
aussi des réflexions sur l’équivalence, et sur la traduction définie par
l’équivalence. De plus, ce chapitre, qui est plutôt descriptif, contient
un bref historique des Nations Unies en général et une description
détaillée des textes dans le cadre des Nations Unies. La deuxième partie
aborde les principes théoriques et pratiques de la traduction juridique,
notamment la traduction juridique à vocation internationale.  Une partie
de ce chapitre est consacrée aux fondements épistémologiques de la
traduction juridique, c’est-à-dire aux principales difficultés
inhérentes à la traduction de textes à teneur juridique à vocation
internationale. Il contient également des réflexions sur la formation du
traducteur pour les textes à vocation internationale qui préparerait ce
dernier à l’appréhension du sens des textes, à l’utilisation des divers
procédés de traduction et à la réexpression de ce sens en langue
d’arrivée. La troisième partie est réservée à l’enquête par
questionnement concernant les stratégies et les techniques de traduction
utilisées dans le cadre des Nation Unies. De plus, les segments qui
composent les grilles concernant les textes dans le cadre des Nations
Unies. En effet, cette analyse porte sur les stratégies adoptées par les
traducteurs arabophones et sur l’orientation ainsi donnée aux
traductions à vocation internationale. Elle est précédée d’un bref
rappel de la démarche de recherche et de quelques précisions
méthodologiques.

10h30-11h00	Beat-like gestures use in different types of speech in
                American English, Mathilde Peyré

The present study is on the use of beat-like gestures (any type of
rhythmic movement used to punctuate and reinforce speech) in different
types of speech in English. Several semantic studies have been conducted
on the relationship between speech and gesture (McNeill 1992, 2000,
Kendon 2004, Goldin-Meadow 2003), but few empiric studies (McClave 1991,
Loehr 2004) address the interaction between speech and beat-like
gestures. McClave and Loehr found that the rhythmic up and down
movements (called beats) tend to align with the nucleus of the
intonation units. Our paper presents a gestural analysis of 24 minutes
of video representing the four types of speech (formal speech, debate,
teaching and spontaneous conversation). Our hypothesis is whether
beat-like gestures are more numerous, larger, stronger and whether they
tend to align with stressed syllables more in more controlled
speech. The videos were imported and annotated in ELAN. The type of
gesture (beat, head movement, eyebrow movement), as well as the
amplitude and the strength of the movement were annotated. The results
show that gestures tend to be larger and stronger in more controlled
speech (formal speech, debate) and that there is a tendency for temporal
alignment between beat-like gestures and accented syllables.

Keywords: gesture, beats, multi-modality, English

11h15-11h45	Contrastive psycholinguistic study of the cognitive
impact of posture verbs, Cécile Douet

My work in cognitive linguistics sets out to evaluate the relation
between embodiment, thought and language, with particular attention to
posture verbs (‘sit’, ‘lie’, ‘stand’). Typological research has shown
that languages differ substantially in the type of verbs they use to
express the location of locating entities in space. Some languages, like
English or French, use neutral verbs (‘be’/’être’), others like Dutch
must use one of the three posture verbs. One of the issues taken up in
the current project is to examine the effects of these differences on
non-linguistic behaviour. This issue lies at the heart of the question
of linguistic relativity that recently has been revived in both the
linguistic and the psychological literature. The methodology that
underlies the suggested research is experimental in nature and will be
structured in two different yet related task : the embodiment of meaning
(the link between image schemata and lexical meaning) and the linguistic
relativity hypothesis (the link between language variation and cognitive
variation). For both tasks, the research will apply and extend existing
experimental methods, from both linguistics and psychology, to a new
domain (posture verbs). For this talk I will focus on methodological
questions. Discussion and suggestions welcome!

11h45-12h15	Texture of Second Language English Discourse: Analysing
                Learners’ Vocabulary Use, Amjed Bamatraf

In his analysis of the leaners’ vocabulary use, the research attempts to
address some of the problems that learners face when they express
themselves in English. Based on part of the data collected, an
explanation of the types of errors and misuse of vocabulary is
presented. The explanation aims to illustrate that the definition of a
word does not give all the information that learners need in order to
use that word productively. Even when the meaning is exemplified in
sentences, it is doubtful whether these example sentences really help to
activate productive use of the word. Learners seem to know a number of
vocabulary items but they have many difficulties in using them
productively in acceptable natural language. To be able to use a word
appropriately and in a natural way, it is necessary for the learner not
only to have access to meaning but to have a control of a range of
information related to the word’s productive use. There is an attempt in
this PhD study, although rather limited in scope, to suggest vocabulary
teaching materials that will help to tackle the learner’s problem.

13h30-14h00	Temps, espace et entités en italien et français L2,
                Simona Anastasio

Cette étude vise à étudier l’expression de la temporalité, de l’espace «
en mouvement » et de la référence aux entités, chez des apprenants
adultes débutants et avancés (cf. Klein & Perdue, 1992) de l’italien et
du français langues secondes (L2), ayant comme langue maternelle (L1)
soit une autre langue romane (italien ou français) soit une langue
germanique (anglais). Les informateurs en question apprennent la langue
cible en contexte hétéroglotte et doivent accomplir deux tâches
cognitivement complexes, un récit de fiction produit sur la base du
support Frog, where are you? (cf. Mayer, 1969) et le récit d’un dessin
animé polonais muet Reksio (cf. Marzalek, 1967). Nous nous attendons à
ce que les différences translinguistiques se reflètent dans la
production langagière en L2. Notre recherche vise néanmoins à mieux
comprendre l’étendue de cette influence, notamment si nos informateurs
arrivent à maîtriser les moyens linguistiques relatifs à l’encodage
référentiel du temps, de l’espace et des entités de façon appropriée à
la langue cible et la manière dont le système conceptuel et linguistique
de leur L1 (cf. Slobin, 1991) influe sur les activités langagières en L2
en fonction du niveau atteint par l’apprenant.

14h00-14h30     La connaissance de la segmentation de la chaîne parlée
                peut-elle favoriser le développement de la compréhension
                orale chez des apprenants débutants de français langue
                étrangère ? Laetitia Batjom

Sujet de thèse : de l'influence d'une connaissance approfondie de la
segmentation de la chaîne parlée sur la perception des mots au sein d'un
discours authentique chez des apprenants de français langue
étrangère. Il semble que l'une des grandes difficultés de la
compréhension en Français Langue Étrangère soit la segmentation de la
chaîne parlée du fait des différentes réalisations des phonèmes selon
les contextes (Segui 1989, Frauenfelder 1991, dans Giacobbe 1994). Notre
thèse s'attache à observer l'effet d'un travail renforcé au niveau
phonétique et phonologique en début d'apprentissage et ses éventuels
bénéfices sur le développement de la compréhension orale (LeBlanc 1986,
Champagne-Muzar 1991, Lauret 2007). Avec cet objectif, nous allons
réaliser un recueil de données auprès d'étudiants chinois débutants en
français. Nous avons mis en place un dispositif d'enseignement afin de
travailler avec eux sur cinq éléments spécifiques choisis du fait de
leur influence sur la réalisation des mots à l'oral: l'accent, la
formation de la syllabe, l'enchaînement, la liaison et le e instable.
Afin d'étudier le développement de la compréhension orale suite à ce
travail, les apprenants seront testés en début d'enseignement, à la fin
du premier semestre et à la fin du deuxième semestre grâce à un test de
perception des mots au sein de la chaîne parlée.  C'est sur ce travail
de recueil de données que nous espérons échanger lors des Doctiling du
laboratoire STL.

14h30-15h00	La réduplication en màníŋgàxáŋ du Dantila, Doucouré
                Salouma

Notre communication portera sur la réduplication en màníŋgàxáŋ du
Dantila (Sénégal). Toutefois, dans le cadre de cette présentation, nous
n’aborderons pas tous les types de réduplication attestés dans cette
langue (réduplication totale, réduplication partielle). Nous nous
bornerons uniquement aux lexèmes verbaux rédupliqués insécables. Ils
semblent dépourvus, du moins en synchronie, de tout simplex
correspondant. Nous ne pouvons, en effet, identifier aucune base simple
pertinente dont la réduplication pourrait rendre compte de leur
formation. D’ailleurs, même si nous réussissions à en isoler, on serait
en présence d’une totale absurdité sémantique entre l’unité qui
tiendrait lieu de base simple et celle qui constituerait sa forme
rédupliquée. Il n’y a donc, pour ces verbes rédupliqués, copie du
matériel phonologique d’aucune base simple identifiable en synchronie
(cf. exemples sous 1-5) :

Quelques exemples illustratifs :
júnjún (júnjúŋ) (mais *jún)
              Arroser, asperger, saupoudrer.
járájárá (mais *járá)
              Trembler, frémir, frissonner, remuer, trembloter.
móoríimóoríi (mais *móoríi) 
 	Prodiguer de délicates et subtiles caresses avec les doigts,
        chatouiller.
yáráxáyáráxá  (mais *yáráxá)
	Etre ou rendre quelque chose branlant, instable, mouvant,
        fragile, friable.
gíngòn (gíŋgòŋ) (mais * gín ou *gòn)  
	Somnoler, dormir à demi.

15h15-15h45	Sémantique des constructions [non-Adj] et [in-Adj] en
                français, Edwige Dugas

Il existe en français un certain nombre de « doublons » dans lesquels un
même adjectif peut être précédé de in- ou de non-, p. ex. non
humain/inhumain, non constructible/inconstructible, non
occupé/inoccupé. Bien que ces constructions aient en commun un sens
négatif, il a été souligné à de nombreuses reprises (Jespersen, 1917 ;
Zimmer, 1964 ; Kalik, 1971 ; Gaatone, 1971 ; Gaatone, 1987 ; Di Sicullo
et Tremblay, 1996 ; Apothéloz, 2003 ; Buchi, 2007 ; Dal et al., 2007)
qu’à base adjectivale identique, les [non-Adj] et les [in-Adj] sont
rarement équivalents. Je laisserai de côté dans cette intervention les
différentes propriétés syntaxiques des [non-Adj] et des [in-Adj]
(cf. Dugas, 2013) et me concentrerai sur l’interprétation sémantique de
ces constructions. Je me pencherai tout d’abord sur les propositions
faites dans la littérature, et notamment sur les notions de
contrariété/contradiction, gradable/non gradable, qualifiant/classifiant
mobilisées à juste titre pour rendre compte de ces constructions
négatives. Je m’appuierai ensuite sur un corpus de formes attestées
issues du Trésor de la Langue Française informatisé, de Frantext et de
la presse en ligne afin de donner plus de poids à ces hypothèses et de
montrer que les [non-Adj] et les [in-Adj] expriment chacun un type
particulier de négation. 

15h45-16h15	Humorous implications and meanings: a multi-modal study
                of sarcasm in interactional humor, Sabina Tabacaru

According to Bergen and Binstead (2001), humor is “the least understood
of our cognitive capacities”, and since humor abuses inferences through
linguistic imagery, it should be cognitive oriented. My research project
aims at defining the relationship between humor and the human mind, as
already pointed out in Cognitive Linguistics (Vandaele 2002; Feyaerts
2004; Veale et al. 2006; Ritchie 2006; Brône 2008; Brône and Feyaerts
2003), and focuses on underlining the importance of addressing humor
(and particularly, sarcasm) from a multi-modal perspective. More
specifically, I present raised eyebrows as ‘gestural triggers’ in
sarcasm because they mark the switch of the utterance to a humorous
interpretation and they contribute to meaning construction in sarcastic
utterances. I base my results on a large corpus of examples annotated
using ELAN which allows a more fine-grained analysis of the data. Based
on these results, the discussion zooms in on the different linguistic
mechanisms used to create sarcastic utterances. These sarcastic
utterances are analyzed against the background of Clark’s (1996)
layering model and Fauconnier’s (1984, 1994) mental space theory to show
how the human mind creates and understands the rich implications and
meanings in sarcasm. Keywords: humor; sarcasm; cognitive linguistics;
raised eyebrows; gestural trigger.

16h15-16h45 Production et perception de la prosodie de l'anglais par des
apprenants francophones : présentation d'une étude expérimentale en
cours, Marc Capliez

De plus en plus de chercheurs mettent en avant l'importance de la
prosodie des langues, en comparaison avec les consonnes et voyelles, ou
« segments » (Hahn 2004, Horgues 2010). Certaines études montrent qu'un
enseignement centré sur la prosodie a un impact plus fort sur les
capacités de production orale d'apprenants non-natifs qu'une
focalisation sur les sons individuels (Derwing, Munro & Wiebe
1998). Néanmoins, aucune étude n'a été réalisée sur des francophones
apprenant l'anglais comme langue étrangère.

Pour cette communication, une expérience préliminaire comparant deux
groupes de francophones se focalisant chacun sur un aspect de la
phonologie anglaise – segments vs prosodie – sera évoquée. Après avoir
suivi soit un cours sur la prosodie, soit sur les segments, des
enregistrements des deux groupes d'apprenants avaient été soumis à des
locuteurs natifs. Lors d'évaluations subjectives, ceux-ci avaient
attribué un score à chaque production orale. Contrairement à notre
hypothèse, c'est chez le groupe s'étant concentré sur les segments que
l'on a observé une plus forte amélioration. Cependant, cette étude
pilote comportait diverses limites qui ont été considérées. Ainsi, le
déroulement et les premiers résultats d'une nouvelle étude, à plus
grande échelle et impliquant à la fois la production et la perception de
l'anglais par des francophones, seront présentés.

COLDOC 11e édition

Université Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense

Nanterre, 13-14 novembre 2014

2ème Appel à communications – 2nd Call for papers

« Les universaux linguistiques à l’épreuve des faits de langue »

« Universality and diversity in the uses of language »

Version française (English version below)

COLDOC est le colloque annuel organisé par les doctorants et jeunes
chercheurs en Sciences du Langage du laboratoire MoDyCo (UMR 7114 –
CNRS/Université Paris Ouest Nanterre/Université Paris Descartes).

Cette année, nous nous intéressons à la diversité des langues et de
leurs usages. La variation interlangue nous oblige à constater à la fois
les spécificités des langues et de leurs usages (pragmatique,
sémantique, morpho-syntaxe, phonologie), faisant ainsi émerger la
question des universaux qui vise à décrire la faculté universelle du
langage.

Que devient la théorie de ces universaux face à la pratique des langues ?

Cet appel à contributions se veut ouvert et cherche à confronter
différents points de vue autour de problématiques fortement
pluridisciplinaires. Nous invitons masterants, doctorants et jeunes
chercheurs à venir exposer leurs réflexions sur ce thème à partir de
leur propre pratique et ce quel que soit le degré d’avancement de leur
recherche.

DATE LIMITE DE SOUMISSION : le 25 mai 2014

Les soumissions sont à envoyer via
EasyChair https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coldoc2014 .

English version



COLDOC is the annual conference organized by PhD students and junior
researchers in Linguistics from MoDyCo Laboratory (UMR 7114 – CNRS/Paris
Ouest Nanterre University/Paris Descartes University).

This year, we will be focusing on the diversity of languages and of
their uses. The observation of interlingual variations emphasizes the
specificities of both languages and their uses on various levels
(pragmatics, semantics, syntax, phonology) thus questioning linguistic
universals which ambition is to describe the universal faculty of
language.

What happens when the linguistic universals theory is confronted to the
practical use of languages?

This call for contributions is purposely open as it aims at exchanging
ideas from different points of view on issues that are highly
multidisciplinary. Master and PhD students, as well as junior
researchers, are very much welcome to participate and to present their
ideas on this topic based on their own practice, regardless of the
current state of the progress of their research.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 25th May 2014 

Submissions should be made via EasyChair

Un master en sciences du langage spécialité Ergonomie Cognitive et 
Ingénierie Linguistique (ECIL) est proposé à l'Université Toulouse 2 - 
Le Mirail.
http://w3.sc-du-langage.univ-tlse2.fr/master-ecil.php

Objectifs de la formation
---------------------------------
Le master ECIL associe des compétences dans trois disciplines : 
linguistique, traitement automatique des langues et ergonomie
cognitive. 
Son objectif est de former des spécialistes du traitement informatisé 
des données langagières.
A l’issue du master, les étudiants sont capables de participer au 
développement de solutions informatiques pour répondre aux besoins qui 
s’expriment actuellement en matière de traitement automatisé du langage 
: recherche d’information, veille, gestion des connaissances, aide à la 
rédaction, etc. Ils sont en mesure de concevoir des ressources 
linguistiques adaptées, d’évaluer et d’intégrer des systèmes existants 
dans des situations de travail variées ou de participer au développement 
de nouveaux logiciels de TAL.
Des compétences dans le champ de l’ergonomie cognitive permettent de 
concevoir des systèmes réellement adaptés à l’activité et aux besoins 
des utilisateurs. Les étudiants formés en ergonomie sont capables 
d’expertiser ces besoins pour mieux y répondre.

Contexte
--------------------------------
Cette formation s'appuie sur un laboratoire de recherche associé au CNRS 
(CLLE : Cognition, Langage, Langues, Ergonomie) regroupant à Toulouse 
des chercheurs et des enseignants chercheurs actifs tant dans le domaine 
de l'ergonomie cognitive (CLLE-LTC) que dans celui de la linguistique et 
du traitement automatique des langues (CLLE-ERSS). Le master ECIL et le 
laboratoire CLLE ont tous deux été évalués A+. Le master s'appuie par 
ailleurs sur le tissu industriel toulousain et un réseau professionnel 
construit depuis une vingtaine d'années.

 2nd CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - NLDB'2014

 19th International Conference on Application of Natural Language to 
 Information Systems

 18-20 June 2014 - Montpellier, France

 http://www.nldb.org/

 Registration: 
 http://www.lirmm.fr/~mroche/NLDB2014/Web/conf_registration.html

 ==============

 Since 1995, the NLDB conference aims at bringing together researcher,
 industrials and potential users interested in various application of
 Natural Language in the Database and Information Systems field. The
 integration of databases and natural language has been an utopia for
 many years. However, progress has been made and this is now an
 established field thanks to developments in Natural Language and
 technologies that made the storage and manipulation of large electronic
 dictionaries possible. As Information Systems are now evolving into the
 communication area, the term databases should be considered in the
 broader sense of information and communication systems. The use of
 Natural Language in Software Engineering has contributed to both
 improving the development process from the viewpoints of developers
 (improve the process of conceptual modeling, validation, etc) and the
 usability of applications by users (natural language query interfaces,
 semantic webs, etc).

 NLDB'2014 will take place in Montpellier (France). The conference
 invites researchers from academia and industry to submit papers for
 oral or poster presentations on recent, unpublished research that
 addresses theoretical aspects, algorithms, applications, architectures
 for applied and integrated NLP, resources for applied NLP, and other
 aspects of NLP, as well as review and discussion papers.

 Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

 - Applications of NLP in Information Systems: Multilingual Information
   Systems, NLP in Requirement Engineering, NLP in Knowledge Management,
   Semantic Data Integration and Data Cleaning

 - Social Media and Web Data: Corpus analysis, Language identification,
   Text normalization, Robust NLP for social media, Text classification,
   Information Extraction and Sentiment Analysis for social media

 - Big Data and Natural Language

 - Semantic Web Open Linked Data: Ontology Learning and Alignment,
   Populating ontologies, Querying Ontologies and linked data, Semantic
   tagging and classification, Ontology-driven NLP

 - Question Answering (QA): NL interfaces to databases, QA using web
   data, multi-lingual QA, Non-factoid QA (how/why/opinion questions,
   lists), geographical QA, QA corpora and training sets

 - Natural language and Ubiquitous Computing: Pervasive Computing,
   Embedded, Robotic and Mobile Applications.

 - Natural Language in Conceptual Modeling: Analysis of Natural Language
   Descriptions, Terminological Ontologies, Consistency Checking,
   Metadata Creation and Harvesting, Ontology-driven Systems
   Integration, Ontology Management

 - NLP Applications: Business Intelligence, Subjectivity and Sentiment
   Analysis, QA systems, Event Detection, Named Entity and Event
   Detection, Information Extraction, Summarization, NLP for Data
   Mining, NLP for Data Warehouses, Plagiarism detection, Identity
   detection

CALL FOR PAPERS: TIME AND INFORMATION RETRIEVAL

A special issue of Information Processing and Management
http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~leon/time_and_ir_ipm.html

We invite submissions for a special issue of Information Processing and
Management on Time and Information Retrieval.

===== Motivation =====

With the rapid growth of digitised document resources, both on and off
the web, and increased variety in types of document collections, future
search systems will face growing difficulties in providing reliable,
useful, and timely results. The web already archives a lot of content;
organizing and searching by time will only become more critical as we
move forward.

This issue aims to explore opportunities and novel research on the
intersection of time and information retrieval. Unlike existing work
that focuses exclusively on the interesting problems related to adding
time to established methods of information retrieval (such as, e.g., how
to incorporate temporal relevance in ranking of retrieved results), we
aim to stimulate discussion on new or powerful uses of temporality in
all kinds of information systems.

===== Scope & Topics of Interest =====

We are particularly interested in work that describes novel advances on
the intersection of temporality and IR. For example, work that goes
deeper than metadata-level time (e.g. document creation timestamp), or
that does temporal analysis of document collections for, e.g., event
identification, tracking and prediction, or that works on temporal-based
relevancy.

We especially welcome papers on the following topics:

* Time as a dimension of relevance
	- Time-aware ranking models
	- Opinion tracking
	- Media temporal similarity (e.g. text, video)
	- Longitudinal analysis
	- Document and sub-document timestamping
* Time as context
	- Time-sensitive search
	- Searching for temporal bounds
	- Future Information Retrieval
* Time as a query topic
	- Event-oriented Search
	- Temporal web image and video retrieval
	- Temporal clustering
	- Collective memory and web archiving
	- Cross-temporal information retrieval
* General issues
	- In-document temporality
	- Temporal query understanding
	- Temporal indexing
	- Evaluation metrics for temporal IR

===== Important dates =====

CFP: April 3, 2014
Manuscript due date: September 8th 2014
Acceptance Notification Date: December 2nd 2014
Final Manuscript Due Date: Jan 30th, 2015 (for all revisions)
Publication date: Spring 2015

Substantial, creative, articles are welcomed, according to the journal
format. After submission, we envisage a smooth and on-time progression
through review and toward publication of this special issue.

Contributions must not have been previously published or be under
consideration for publication elsewhere, although substantial extensions
of conference or workshop papers will be considered. All submissions
should be prepared according to the Guide for Authors at
http://www.elsevier.com/journals/information-processing-and-management/0306-4573/guide-for-authors. 
Submissions should be made through EES at
http://ees.elsevier.com/ipm/default.asp

Toulouse in the South West of France is the fourth largest city of
France and a lively university center. Toulouse offers numerous
inexpensive accommodations, including student residences.

The participants are on their own in finding accommodation. There is the
hotel list of the tourist office and a special list for residences. Of
course, there are other ways to find hotels in Toulouse. For scientists
on short visits to Toulouse (e.g., for juries or project meetings), we
typically choose friendly two-star hotels.

LACL 2014 is taking place at IRIT, Paul Sabatier University, close to
the "Université Paul Sabatier" station (metro line B). Hotels in the
city center are close to the metro (line B stations there:
Compans-Caffarelli, Jeanne d'Arc, Jean Jaures, Francois Verdier and
Carmes).

Fees (early registration):

330 euros (regular), 230 euros (student)

Late registration:

380 euros (regular),  280 euros (student)

Gala dinner: 60 euros.

Thank you again,
LACL 2014 Program Co-Chairs
Nicholas Asher and Sergei Soloviev

CALL FOR PAPERS

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, 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).

Version française (English version below)


COLDOC est le colloque annuel organisé par les doctorants et jeunes
chercheurs en Sciences du Langage du laboratoire MoDyCo (UMR 7114 –
CNRS/Université Paris Ouest Nanterre/Université Paris Descartes).

Cette année, nous nous intéressons à la diversité des langues et de
leurs usages. La variation interlangue nous oblige à constater à la fois
les spécificités des langues et de leurs usages (pragmatique,
sémantique, morpho-syntaxe, phonologie), faisant ainsi émerger la
question des universaux qui vise à décrire la faculté universelle du
langage.

Que devient la théorie de ces universaux face à la pratique des langues ?

Cet appel à contributions se veut ouvert et cherche à confronter
différents points de vue autour de problématiques fortement
pluridisciplinaires. Nous invitons masterants, doctorants et jeunes
chercheurs à venir exposer leurs réflexions sur ce thème à partir de
leur propre pratique et ce quel que soit le degré d’avancement de leur
recherche.

DATE LIMITE DE SOUMISSION : le 25 Mai 2014 *le 1er Juin 2014*

Les soumissions sont à envoyer via
EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coldoc2014).

=========================================================

English version


COLDOC is the annual conference organized by PhD students and junior
researchers in Linguistics from MoDyCo Laboratory (UMR 7114 – CNRS/Paris
Ouest Nanterre University/Paris Descartes University).

This year, we will be focusing on the diversity of languages and of
their uses. The observation of interlingual variations emphasizes the
specificities of both languages and their uses on various levels
(pragmatics, semantics, syntax, phonology) thus questioning linguistic
universals which ambition is to describe the universal faculty of
language.

What happens when the linguistic universals theory is confronted to the
practical use of languages?

This call for contributions is purposely open as it aims at exchanging
ideas from different points of view on issues that are highly
multidisciplinary. Master and PhD students, as well as junior
researchers, are very much welcome to participate and to present their
ideas on this topic based on their own practice, regardless of the
current state of the progress of their research.


SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 25th May 2014 *1st June 2014*

Submissions should be made via EasyChair

Sujet de thèse : Structuration, navigation et recherche au sein de 
collections de documents

English below.

Laboratoire : IRISA, Rennes ; labex Comin'Labs. Équipe texmex : 
www.irisa.fr/texmex

Dans beaucoup de domaines, l'exploitation des grandes quantités de 
documents numériques reste un problème majeur. Dans ce contexte dit 'big 
data', une grande partie de l'information se présente de manière 
informelle dans des textes. Le seul stockage informatique de ces 
documents ne permet pas d'accéder facilement aux informations qu'ils 
contiennent, de les retrouver efficacement, de les mettre en regard les 
unes avec les autres, de les recouper en vue de les analyser.
Le projet LIMAH du labex Comin'Labs s'intéresse à ses problématiques de
découverte d'information et de navigation dans des collections
multimédias (journaux TV, blogs...) et c'est dans ce cadre que s'inscrit
ce sujet de thèse.

Il existe bien sûr des outils, comme les moteurs de recherche,
permettant d'interroger des archives textuelles. Cependant, ces outils
ont des limites qui les rendent inadaptées comme outils de découverte de
connaissances.
D'une part, ils nécessitent de l'utilisateur qu'il exprime clairement 
son besoin d'information quelle que soit sa complexité. Ce point est 
souvent bloquant : un utilisateur sait souvent bien ce qu'il cherche 
sans pouvoir le formaliser correctement sous forme d'une requête 
textuelle unique.
D'autre part, les systèmes existants considèrent les documents 
indépendamment les uns des autres et ne permettent donc pas de prendre 
en compte les liens pouvant exister entre ces documents pour répondre à
l'utilisateur.
Enfin, et cela est lié aux deux points précédents, ils ne permettent pas 
à l'utilisateur de naviguer dans la collection en se basant sur le 
contenu de ces documents et sur les différents liens qu'ils peuvent 
entretenir.

Cette thèse a pour but de développer de nouveaux cadres théoriques et 
technologiques pour une exploitation intelligente des informations 
textuelles dans des collections de documents en se basant sur leurs
contenus. Au delà d'un simple moteur de recherche, le candidat devra 
développer, implémenter et évaluer des techniques nouvelles permettant 
de découvrir des liens entre les documents textuels au sein d'une
collection, de les typer et de les exploiter pour la recherche et la 
navigation. Cette thèse s'inscrit donc dans les domaines de la recherche 
d'information (RI), du traitement automatique des langues (TAL) et de la 
fouille de données.

Le travail de thèse s'effectuera dans le cadre d'un contrat à durée 
déterminée de 3 ans, débutant en septembre-octobre 2014.


Candidature

Le candidat devra être issu d'un master en informatique ou d'une 
formation équivalente, avec un très bon classement.
Il devra avoir suivi des cours en apprentissage artificiel et/ou fouille 
de données, et des compétences en traitement automatique des langues 
seront appréciées.

Les candidatures, par e-mail à vincent.claveau at irisa.fr , devront 
comporter un CV, le relevé de notes du master avec une indication du 
classement, une lettre de motivation et le nom et les coordonnées d'un 
professeur pouvant recommander le candidat.

Lab: IRISA, Rennes ; labex Comin'Labs. Team texmex : www.irisa.fr/texmex

In many domains, exploiting large amounts of digital documents is a 
major problem . In this so called 'big data' context, most of the 
information is contained as unformatted texts. Storing these documents 
does is not enough to easily acccess the information they contain, 
compare them...
The LIMAH project in the labex Comin'Labs interested in such issues of 
information discovery and navigation in multimedia collections (TV news, 
blogs ... ) and it is in this context that this PhD is proposed.

Of course there are tools such as search engines, for querying textual 
archives. However, these tools have limitations that make them 
unsuitable for knowledge discovery.
First,  they require the user to clearly express his information need 
regardless of its complexity. This point is often blocking: a user often 
knows what he wants without being able to properly formalize it.
Second, existing systems consider the documents independently of each 
other and therefore do not take into account the possible links between 
these documents.
Consequently, they do not allow the user to browse the collection based 
on the contents of these documents and on the many different links that 
they may share.

The goal of the PhD is to develop new theoretical and technological 
frameworks for intelligent use of textual information in document 
collections based on their content.
Beyond a simple search engine , the candidate will develop, implement 
and evaluate new techniques for discovering links between text documents 
in a collection, for characterizing these links and for exploiting them 
for searching and browsing. This thesis is concerned with information 
retrieval, Natural Language Processing and data mining .

The thesis work will be done under a fixed term contract of 3 years, 
starting in September-October 2014 .


Application

The candidate must belong a master degree in computer science with a 
very good ranking. He must have taken courses in machine learning and / 
or data mining, and skills in language processing will be appreciated.

Applications by e -mail to vincent.claveau at irisa.fr , should include a 
resume, grades and ranks in the master, a motivation letter and the 
names and contact details of a teacher that may recommend the candidate.

================================
LD4KD 2014
1st Workshop on Linked Data for Knowledge Discovery

http://events.kmi.open.ac.uk/ld4kd2014/

co-located with the European Conference on Machine Learning and
Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery 2014 (ECML/PKDD 2014)
15-19 September 2014, Nancy, France (http://www.ecmlpkdd2014.org/ )

================================

Linked Data have attracted a lot of attention in recent years in many
research areas, as their technologies and principles provide new ways to
overcome typical data management and consumption issues such as
reliability, heterogeneity, provenance or completeness. However, the way
in which Linked Data can be applicable and beneficial to the Knowledge
Discovery (KDD) pocess is still not completely understood. Many aspects
of KDD could benefit from Linked Data, e.g. mining Linked Data sources,
using Linked Data to enrich, represent or integrate local data for data
preparation, interpretation or visualisation.

LD4KD will be an interactive hub to explore the benefits of Linked Data
principles and technologies for Knowledge Discovery, together with
addressing the new challenges that will emerge from joining the two
fields. It will be an opportunity for practitioners of both fields to
create communication and collaboration channels,and bridge the gap
between their overlapping, but mostly isolated communities.

The workshop encourages the participation of researchers from the
Knowledge Discovery field to discuss and get informed about the use,
benefits and challenges of Linked Data, while th Linked Data researchers
can take advantage of and adapt Knowledge Discovery methods in their
domain.

*SCOPE*

We welcome high quality position and research papers in which (1) Linked
Data are used as support of Knowledge Discovery processes to extract
useful knowledge, or (2) Knowledge Discovery techniques are adapted to
work and possibly extend Linked Data.

Topics of either theoretical and applied interest include, but are not
limited to:

- Linked Data for data pre-processing: cleaning, sorting, filtering or
  enrichment
- Linked Data applied to Machine Learning
- Linked Data for pattern extraction and behaviour detection
- Linked Data for pattern interpretation, visualization or optimisation
- Reasoning with patterns and Linked Data
- Reasoning on and extracting knowledge from Linked Data
- Linked Data mining
- Links prediction or links discovery using KDD
- Graph mining in Linked Data
- Interacting with Linked Data for Knowledge Discovery

*IMPORTANT DATES*

Paper submission deadline: June 20th
Notification Of Acceptance: July 20th
Camera ready copies due: August 5th, 2014
Workshop date: September 15th/19th, 2014

-- FCA4AI (Third Edition) -- 
``What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?'' 
co-located with ECAI 2014, Prague, Czech Republic 
August 19 2014 
http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru 

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

General Information. 

The first and the second editions of the FCA4AI Workshop (ECAI 2012,
Montpellier and IJCAI 2013, Beijing) showed that many researchers
working in Artificial Intelligence are indeed interested by a powerful
method for classification and mining such as Formal Concept Analysis
(see http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-939/ and http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1058/). 
We have the chance to organize a new edition of the workshop in Prague
at the ECAI 2014 Conference.

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory
aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a
concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications) which can be
used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge processing involving learning,
knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology
engineering, and as well as information retrieval and text
processing. Thus, there exist many ``natural links'' between FCA and
AI. 

Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around
FCA, in particular a strand of work emerged that is aimed at extending
the possibilities of FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing, such as work on
pattern structures and relational context analysis. These extensions are
aimed at allowing FCA to deal with more complex than just binary data,
both from the data analysis and knowledge discovery point of view and
from the knowledge representation point of view, including, e.g.,
ontology engineering. All these works extend the capabilities of FCA and
offer new possibilities for AI activities in the framework of FCA.

Accordingly, in this workshop, we will be interested in two main issues:

- How can FCA support AI activities such as knowledge processing
  (knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning),
  learning (clustering, pattern and data mining), natural language
  processing, information retrieval.

- How can FCA be extended in order to help AI researchers to solve new
  and complex problems in their domain.

The workshop is dedicated to discuss such issues. 

TOPICS OF INTEREST include but are not limited to: 

- Concept lattices and related structures: description logics, pattern
  structures, relational structures. 
- Knowledge discovery and data mining with FCA: association rules,
  itemsets and data dependencies, attribute implications, data
  pre-processing, redundancy and dimensionality reduction,
  classification and clustering. 
- Knowledge engineering and ontology engineering: knowledge
  representation and reasoning. 
- Scalable algorithms for concept lattices and artificial intelligence
  ``in the large'' (distributed aspects, big data). 
- Applications of concept lattices: semantic web, information retrieval,
  visualization and navigation, pattern recognition.

The workshop will include time for audience discussion for having a
better understanding of the issues, challenges, and ideas being
presented.

IMPORTANT DATES: 

Submission deadline: May 30, 2014 
Notification to authors: June 23, 2014 
Final version: July 14, 2014 
Workshop: August 19, 2014 


SUBMISSION DETAILS: 

The workshop welcomes submissions in pdf format in Springer's LNCS
style. 
Submissions can be: 
- technical papers not exceeding 8 pages, 
- system descriptions or position papers on work in progress not 
  exceeding 4 pages 

Submissions are via EasyChair at 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fca4ai2014 (opening soon) 

The workshop proceedings will be published as CEUR proceedings. 
A selection of the best papers presented at the workshop will be
considered for a special issue of a high-level journal.

Bonjour,

Le LIMSI-CNRS recevra Kevin B. Cohen de l’Université du Colorado *lundi
16 Juin à 14h*. Il présentera à cette occasion un exposé intitulé: In
the context of natural language processing, doing "software testing" is
otherwise known as doing linguistics. Un descriptif plus détaillé de
l’exposé et du parcours de l’orateur se trouvent à la fin de ce
courriel.

Le séminaire, ouvert à tous, aura lieu à Orsay, dans la salle de
conférence du bâtiment 508 sur la « plateau » du Campus de l’Université
Paris Sud. Des informations détaillées sur l’accès au laboratoire sont
disponibles sur le site du LIMSI http://www.limsi.fr/Pratique/acces/.

Cordialement,

Aurélie

*Title*: In the context of natural language processing, doing "software
testing" is otherwise known as doing linguistics

*Abstract*: Software testing and quality assurance for natural language
processing has rarely been studied, despite the fact that natural
language processing applications present unique challenges for these
tasks.  Despite this lack of study, a fully-developed methodology is
available, known as field methods and coming from the field of
descriptive linguistics.  In this talk, I will present an application of
field methods to software testing in the biomedical text mining domain
and show how it can yield fine-grained insight into what an application
is good at and what it is bad at.

*Short bio*: Kevin Bretonnel Cohen leads the Biomedical Text Mining
Group in the Computational Bioscience Program at the University of
Colorado School of Medicine.  He is the chair of the Association for
Computational Linguistics special interest group on biomedical natural
language processing.  His research interests include computational
lexical semantics, ontologies, named entity recognition and
normalization, information extraction, corpus linguistics, information
retrieval, question answering, and software testing and quality
assurance for natural language processing applications.

============== SPMRL 2014 SHARED TASK ============== 
The first joint SPMRL-SANCL workshop (www.spmrl.org), collocated with
COLING 2014, hosts the second Shared Task on Parsing
Morphologically-Rich Languages.


===== Summary ===== 
Following the success of the first shared task, a second edition is
launched with this year an emphasis on the use of semi superivised
techniques. On top of treebanks data (phase structures and
dependencies), large annotated data set are made available.

Webpage: http://www.spmrl.org/spmrl2014-sharedtask.html
test submission deadline : July 21, 2014 
(test data release: July 14, 2014)

===== Introduction =====
The primary goal of the First Shared Task on Parsing
Morphologically-Rich Languages was to bring forward work on parsing
morphologically ambiguous input in both dependency and constituency
parsing, and to show the state of the art for MRLs. In the longer term,
we aim to provide streamlined data sets and evaluation metrics, thus
improving the comparability of cross linguistic work on parsing MRLs.

The 2014 Shared Task edition will explicitly allow and favor the use of
large unlabeled data set. In order to properly evaluate the improvement
brought by the use of semi-supervized models, all annotated data and
evaluation process will remain the same.

The shared task features tracks in constituency parsing and in
dependency parsing, in gold as well as in realistic scenarios (the
realistic scenario has no gold tokenization, no gold part-of-speech tags
and morphological features).

===== Data set ===== 
The participants will be provided with data from 9 different languages
(Arabic, Basque, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Korean, Polish,
Swedish). The data are available in Penn Treebank bracketing format,
CoNLL-X format and optionally in TiGerXML.
In order to ease cross-linguistic comparisons, the data set are also
released with a common training size setting (ie. 5000 sentences).

For all these treebanks, we provide unlabeled data set as well. To lower
the entry cost for new comers in the field, we also provide more than
accurate baseline, if not state-of-the-art, morpho-syntactic annotations
(POS tagged, morphological features, lemmas and multiword expressions if
available in the original treebank) and syntactic dependencies.


===== Shared Task Schedule ===== 
Release of training and dev. data                       May 26
Release of test data                                    July 14
Deadline for submission of test runs                    July 21
Submission andannouncement of results                   July 25
Shared task papers due (provisional)                    August 7 
Camera ready papers due                                 August 16



Shared Task papers will be published in the "Working notes of the SPMRL
2014 Shared Task".
Short system description with publication on the SPMRL-SANCL 2014
proceedings can optionnaly be submitted (deadline: July 7, camera ready:

Last Call for Papers

Workshop on  Cognitive Aspects of the Lexicon (CogALex-IV)
together with a shared task addressing the ‘lexical access-problem’

Pre-conference workshop at COLING 2014 (August 23d,2014)

Submission deadline: June 8, 2014

Invited speaker : Roberto Navigli (Sapienza University of Rome)

http://pageperso.lif.univ-mrs.fr/~michael.zock/CogALex-IV/cogalex-webpage/index.html


GOAL

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers involved in the
construction and application of electronic dictionaries to discuss
modifications of existing resources in line with the users' needs,
thereby fully exploiting the advantages of the digital form. Given the
breadth of the questions, we welcome reports on work from many
perspectives, including but not limited to: computational lexicography,
psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, language learning and
ergonomics.

MOTIVATION

The way we look at dictionaries (their creation and use) has changed
dramatically over the past 30 years. While being considered as an
appendix to grammar in the past, by now they have moved to centre
stage. Indeed, there is hardly any task in NLP which can be conducted
without them. Also, rather than being static entities (data-base view),
dictionaries are now viewed as dynamic networks, i.e. graphs, whose
nodes and links (connection strengths) may change over
time. Interestingly, properties concerning topology, clustering and
evolution known from other disciplines (society, economy, human brain)
also apply to dictionaries: everything is linked, hence accessible, and
everything is evolving. Given these similarities, one may wonder what we
can learn from these disciplines.

In this 4th edition of the CogALex workshop we therefore also invite
scientists working in these fields, with the goal to broaden the
picture, i.e. to gain a better understanding concerning the mental
lexicon and to integrate these findings into our dictionaries in order
to support navigation. Given recent advances in neurosciences, it
appears timely to seek inspiration from neuroscientists studying the
human brain. There is also a lot to be learned from other fields
studying graphs and networks, even if their object of study is something
else than language, for example biology, economy or society.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

This workshop is about possible enhancements of lexical resources and
electronic dictionaries. To perform the groundwork for the next
generation of such resources we invite researchers involved in the
building of such tools.  The idea is to discuss modifications of
existing resources by taking the users’ needs and knowledge states into
account, and to capitalize on the advantages of the digital media. For
this workshop we solicit papers including but not limited to the
following topics, each of which can be considered from various points of
view: linguistics, neuro- or psycholinguistics (tip of the tongue
problem, associations), network related sciences (sociology, economy,
biology), mathematics (vector-based approaches, graph theory,
small-world problem), etc.

1) Analysis of the conceptual input of a dictionary user

* What does a language producer start from (bag of words)?
* What is in the authors' minds when they are generating a message and
  looking for a word?
* What does it take to bridge the gap between this input and the desired
  output (target word)?

2) The meaning of words

* Lexical representation (holistic, decomposed)
* Meaning representation (concept based, primitives)
* Revelation of hidden information (distributional semantics, latent
  semantics, vector-based approaches: LSA/HAL)
* Neural models, neurosemantics, neurocomputational theories of content
  representation.

3) Structure of the lexicon

* Discovering structures in the lexicon: formal and semantic point of
  view (clustering, topical structure)
* Creative ways of getting access to and using word associations
  (reading between the lines, subliminal communication);
* Evolution, i.e. dynamic aspects of the lexicon (changes of weights)
* Neural models of the mental lexicon (distribution of information
  concerning words, organisation of words)

4) Methods for crafting dictionaries or indexes

* Manual, automatic or collaborative building of dictionaries and
  indexes (crowd-sourcing, serious games, etc.)
* Impact and use of social networks (Facebook, Twitter) for building
  dictionaries, for organizing and indexing the data (clustering of
  words), and for allowing to track navigational strategies, etc.
* (Semi-) automatic induction of the link type (e.g. synonym, hypernym,
  meronym, association, collocation, ...)
* Use of corpora and patterns (data-mining) for getting access to words,
  their uses, combinations and associations

5) Dictionary access (navigation and search strategies, interface issues,...)

* Search based on sound, meaning or associations
* Search (simple query vs multiple words)
* Context-dependent search (modification of users’ goals during search)
* Recovery
* Navigation (frequent navigational patterns or search strategies used
  by people)
* Interface problems, data-visualisation

6) Dictionary applications

* Methods supporting vocabulary learning (for example, creation of
  data-bases showing words in various contexts)
* Tools for supporting Human translation

IMPORTANT DATES

* Deadline for paper submissions: May 25, 2014
* Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2014
* Camera-ready papers due : July 7, 2014
* Worskhop date: August 23, 2014

SHARED TASK ON THE LEXICAL ACCESS PROBLEM (COMPUTING ASSOCIATIONS WHEN
GIVEN MULTIPLE STIMULI)

In the framework of the 4th Workshop on Cognitive Aspects of the Lexicon
(CogALex) to be held at COLING 2014, we invite participation in a shared
task devoted to the problem of lexical access in language production,
with the aim of providing a quantitative comparison between different
systems.

MOTIVATION

The quality of a dictionary depends not only on coverage, but also on
the accessibility of the information. That is a crucial point is
dictionary access.  Access strategies vary with the task (text
understanding vs. text production) and the knowledge available at the
very moment of consultation (words, concepts, speech sounds). Unlike
readers who look for meanings, writers start from them, searching for
the corresponding words. While paper dictionaries are static, permitting
only limited strategies for accessing information, their electronic
counterparts promise dynamic, proactive search via multiple criteria
(meaning, sound, related words) and via diverse access
routes. Navigation takes place in a huge conceptual lexical space, and
the results are displayable in a multitude of forms (e.g. as trees, as
lists, as graphs, or sorted alphabetically, by topic, by frequency).

To bring some structure into this multitude of possibilities, the shared
task will concentrate on a crucial subtask, namely multiword
association.  What we mean by this in the context of this workshop is
the following. Suppose, we were looking for a word expressing the
following ideas: 'superior dark coffee made of beans from Arabia', but
could not remember the intended word 'mocha' due to the
tip-of-the-tongue problem. Since people always remember something
concerning the elusive word, it would be nice to have a system accepting
this kind of input, to propose then a number of candidates for the
target word.  Given the above example, we might enter 'dark', 'coffee',
'beans', and 'Arabia', and the system would be supposed to come up with
one or several associated words such as 'mocha', 'espresso', or
'cappuccino'.

TASK DEFINITION

The participants will receive lists of five given words (primes) such as
'circus', 'funny', 'nose', 'fool', and 'fun' and are supposed to compute
the word which is most closely associated to all of them. In this case,
the word 'clown' would be the expected response. Here are some more
examples:

 given words: gin, drink, scotch, bottle, soda
 target word: whisky

 given words: wheel, driver, bus, drive, lorry
 target word: car

 given words: neck, animal, zoo, long, tall
 target word: giraffe

 given words: holiday, work, sun, summer, abroad
 target word: vacation

 given words: home, garden, door, boat, chimney
 target word: house

 given words: blue, cloud, stars, night, high
 target word: sky

We will provide a training set of 2000 sets of five input words
(multiword stimuli), together with the expected target words
(associative responses). The participants will have about five weeks to
train their systems on this data.  After the training phase, we will
release a test set containing another 2000 sets of five input words, but
without providing the expected target words.

Participants will have five days to run their systems on the test data,
thereby predicting the target words. For each system, we will compare
the results to the expected target words and compute an accuracy. The
participants will be invited to submit a paper describing their approach
and their results.

For the participating systems, we will distinguish two categories:

(1) Unrestricted systems. They can use any kind of data to compute their
    results.

(2) Restricted systems: These systems are only allowed to draw on the
    freely available ukWaC corpus in order to extract information on
    word associations.  The ukWaC corpus comprises about 2 billion words
    and is can be downloaded from
    http://wacky.sslmit.unibo.it/doku.php?id=corpora.

Participants are allowed to compete in either category or in both.

VENUE

The shared task will take place as part of the CogALex workshop which is
co-located with COLING 2014 (Dublin). The workshop date is August 23,
2014.  Shared task participants who wish to have a paper published in
the workshop proceedings will be required to present their work at the
workshop.

                  CALL FOR PAPERS

     Workshop on Interactions between Data Mining
             and Natural Language Processing
                   (DMNLP'2014)

              ECML/PKDD 2014 Workshop

                September 15, 2014
                  Nancy, France

              http://dmnlp.loria.fr

********************************************************

------
SCOPE
------

On the one hand, in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP),
numerical Machine Learning methods (e.g., SVM, CRF) have been
intensively explored and applied. Despite the good results obtained by
the numerical methods, one major drawback is that they do not provide a
human readable model. A promising direction is the integration of
symbolic knowledge.

On the other hand, research in Data Mining has progressed significantly
in the last decades, through the development of advanced algorithms and
techniques to extract knowledge from data in different forms. In
particular, for two decades Pattern Mining has been one of the most
active field in Knowledge Discovery.

Recently, a new field has emerged taking benefit of both domains: Data
Mining and NLP. The objective of DMNLP is thus to provide a forum to
discuss how Data Mining can be interesting for NLP tasks, providing
symbolic knowledge, but also how NLP can enhance data mining approaches
by providing richer and/or more complex information to mine and by
integrating linguistics knowledge directly in the mining process.

The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both communities
in order to stimulate discussions about the cross-fertilization of those
two research fields. The idea of this workshop is to discuss future
directions and new challenges emerging from the cross-fertilization of
Data Mining and NLP and in the same time initiate collaborations between
researchers of both communities.

---------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------

The workshop promotes works where the two following dimensions are
combined in one as symbiosis. The first dimension is Data Mining, for
instance Pattern Mining (itemsets, sequences, trees, graphs, association
rules), classification (decision trees, FCA,...), inductive logic
programming. The second dimension is NLP, for example question/answering
systems, translation, information extraction, linguistic analysis
(lexical analysis, terminology, syntax, semantics, discourse,
stylistics), classification, knowledge extraction/ontology building from
texts, information retrieval, corpus annotation, social/opinion mining.

A list of non-exhaustive topics that fit the scope of the workshop is
thus:

- Pattern discovery for NLP
- Constraint-based pattern mining in text
- Data mining query languages for expressing NLP tasks
- Data representation (sequence, tree, graphs) for NLP
- Modelization of text for data mining
- Relationships between data mining and NLP
- Modeling and visualizing data mining results on text
- Integrating NLP characteristics in data mining
- Data mining approaches for linguistic knowledge building
- Knowledge discovery for linguistic analysis (e.g. stylistic,
  socio-linguistics,…)
- Linguistically-informed text representations for Data Mining


------------------
SUBMISSION FORMAT
------------------

Our main goal is to stimulate discussions, collaborations and the
sharing of experiences.
In that respect, we would have three submission types:

* unpublished works (max 16 pages, double submissions allowed)
* short papers and vision statements (max 8 pages)
* recently published works (special oral-only track, no page limits)

For more details on submission, see the DMNLP webpage at

5th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity, Sentiment and 
Social Media Analysis (WASSA 2014) - http://optima.jrc.it/wassa2014/
************************************************************************
Held in conjunction to ACL 2014, on June 27, 2014, in Baltimore 
(Maryland), USA
************************************************************************
Endorsed by SIGSEM and SIGNLL
*******************************************************



*******************************************************
BACKGROUND
*******************************************************

Research in automatic Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis (SSA), as
subtasks of Affective Computing and Natural Language Processing (NLP),
has flourished in the past years. The growth in interest in these tasks
was motivated by the birth and rapid expansion of the Social Web that
made it possible for people all over the world to share, comment or
consult content on any given topic. In this context, opinions,
sentiments and emotions expressed in Social Media texts have been shown
to have a high influence on the social and economic behaviour worldwide.
SSA systems are highly relevant to many real-world applications (e.g.
marketing, eGovernance, business intelligent, social analysis) and also
to many tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP) – information
extraction, question answering, textual entailment, to name just a few.
The importance of this field has been proven by the high number of
approaches proposed in research in the past decade, as well as by the
interest that it raised from other disciplines (Economics, Sociology,
Psychology) and the applications that were created using its technology.
In spite of the growing body of research in the area in the past years,
dealing with affective phenomena in text has proven to be a complex,
interdisciplinary problem that remains far from being solved. Its
challenges include the need to address the issue from different
perspectives and at different levels, depending on the characteristics
of the textual genre, the language(s) treated and the final application
for which the analysis is done.

*******************************************************
ENVISAGED SCOPE OF WASSA 2014
*******************************************************

The aim of the 5th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity,
Sentiment and Social Media Analysis (WASSA 2014) is to continue the line
of the previous editions, bringing together researchers in Computational
Linguistics working on Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis and
researchers working on interdisciplinary aspects of affect computation
from text. Additionally, starting with WASSA 2013, we extended the focus
to Social Media phenomena and the impact of affect-related phenomena in
this context. In this new proposed edition, we would like to encourage
the submission of long and short research and demo papers including, but
not restricted to the following topics related to subjectivity and
sentiment analysis:

- Resources for subjectivity, sentiment and social media analysis;
  (semi-)automatic corpora generation and annotation
- Opinion retrieval, extraction, categorization, aggregation and
  summarization
- Trend detection in social media using subjectivity and sentiment
  analysis techniques
- Data linking through social networks based on affect-related NLP
  methods
- Impact of affective data from social media
- Mass opinion estimation based on NLP and statistical models
- Online reputation management
- Topic and sentiment studies and applications of topic-sentiment
  analysis
- Domain, topic and genre dependency of sentiment analysis
- Ambiguity issues and word sense disambiguation of subjective language
- Pragmatic analysis of the opinion mining task
- Use of Semantic Web technologies for subjectivity and sentiment
  analysis
- Improvement of NLP tasks using subjectivity and/or sentiment analysis
- Intrinsic and extrinsic evaluations subjectivity and sentiment
  analysis
- Subjectivity, sentiment and emotion detection in social networks
- Classification of stance in dialogues
- Applications of sentiment and social media analysis systems

CALL FOR PAPERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------


EKAW 2014: Diversity in a Heterogeneous World

19th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge
Management (EKAW 2014). November 24-28, 2014, Linköping, Sweden.

http://www.ida.liu.se/conferences/EKAW14

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

The 19th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge
Management is concerned with all aspects of eliciting, acquiring,
modeling and managing knowledge, and its role in the construction of
knowledge-intensive systems and services for the Semantic Web, knowledge
management, e-business, natural language processing, intelligent
information integration, personal digital assistance systems, and so
forth.

The special focus of this year's EKAW will be on diversity. In the
recent past the amount and ease of availability of data has dramatically
increased. While scale and complexity of information has always
attracted attention, its heterogeneity in nature and usage are only now
being investigated more systematically. Data-driven research is gaining
increasing visibility in areas such as in eScience or eHumanities, but
such distinct fields require diverse knowledge management and
acquisition methods. Knowledge in the Cultural Heritage domain radically
differs from what is required to run a global company or support
projects in the developing world. The geosciences produce and consume
data spanning a wide range of formats, topics, perspectives, and
sources, and require the integration of such heterogeneous data to
foster data sharing, access, retrieval, and reuse, without restricting
semantic heterogeneity. EKAW 2014 will put a special emphasis on this
diversity of knowledge and its usage.

In addition to the main research track, EKAW 2014 will feature a
Tutorial and Workshop Program, as well as a Poster and Demo Track.
Moreover, there will be a Doctoral Consortium giving new PhD students a
possibility to present their research proposals, and to get feedback on
methodological and practical aspects of their planned dissertation.

The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer Verlag
in the LNCS series.

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

EKAW 2014 welcomes papers dealing with theoretical, methodological,
experimental, and application-oriented aspects of knowledge engineering
and knowledge management. In particular, but not exclusively, we solicit
papers about methods, tools, methodologies and application case studies
relevant with regard to the following topics:

1) "Knowledge in a diverse world"

Methods and methodologies addressing the challenges of diversity, such
as:

Semantic heterogeneity
- Semantic interoperability
- Scalability, robustness, etc.
- Multi-perspective data
- Semantic mediation
- Ontology and vocabulary matching and alignment
- Data-driven ontology engineering
- Privacy and data security
- Data reuse
- Maintenance costs and financial risks

Lessons learned from case studies, e.g.:
- Knowledge management in large organizations
- Adoption of semantic web technologies
- Maintenance of corporate knowledge repositories
- Applications in domains such as
- eGovernment and public administration
- Life sciences, health and medicine
- Humanities and Social Sciences
- Automotive and manufacturing industry
- Cultural heritage
- Digital libraries
- Geosciences
- Knowledge in the developing world (ICT4D)

2) Knowledge Management

- Methodologies and tools for knowledge management
- Knowledge sharing and distribution, collaboration
- Best practices and lessons learned from case studies
- Provenance and trust in knowledge management
- Methods for accelerating take-up of knowledge management technologies
- Corporate memories for knowledge management
- Evolution, maintenance and preservation of knowledge
- Web 2.0 technologies for knowledge management
- Incentives for human knowledge acquisition (e.g., games with a
  purpose)

3) Knowledge Engineering and Acquisition

- Tools and methodologies for ontology engineering
- Ontology design patterns
- Ontology localization
- Ontology alignment
- Knowledge authoring and semantic annotation
- Knowledge acquisition from non-ontological resources (thesauri,
  folksonomies etc.)
- Semi-automatic knowledge acquisition, e.g., ontology learning
- Mining the Semantic Web and the Web of Data
- Ontology evaluation and metrics
- Uncertainty and vagueness in knowledge representation
- Dealing with dynamic, distributed and emerging knowledge

4) Social and Cognitive Aspects of Knowledge Representation

- Similarity and analogy-based reasoning
- Knowledge representation inspired by cognitive science
- Synergies between humans and machines
- Knowledge emerging from user interaction and networks
- Knowledge ecosystems
- Expert finding, e.g., by social network analysis
- Trust and privacy in knowledge representation
- Collaborative and social approaches to knowledge management and
  acquisition
- Crowdsourcing in knowledge management

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

We will accept different types of papers. The papers will all have the
same status and follow the same formatting guidelines in the proceedings
but will receive special treatment during the reviewing phase. In
particular, each paper type will be subject to own evaluation criteria.
The Programme Committee will also make sure that there is a reasonable
balance of the paper types accepted. At submission time the paper has to
be clearly identified as belonging to one of the following categories.

- Research papers: These are "standard" papers presenting a novel
  method, technique or analysis with appropriate empirical or other
  types of evaluation as a proof-of concept. The main evaluation
  criteria here will be originality, technical soundness and validation.

- In-use papers: Here we are expecting papers describing applications of
  knowledge management and engineering in real
  environments. Applications need to address a sufficiently interesting
  and challenging problem on real-world datasets, involving many users
  etc. The focus is less on the originality of the approach and more on
  presenting systems that solve a significant problem while addressing
  the particular challenges that come with the use of real-world
  data. Evaluations should involve a representative subset of the actual
  users of the system.

- Position papers: We invite researchers to also publish position papers
  which describe novel and innovative ideas. Position papers may also
  comprise an analysis of currently unsolved problems, or review these
  problems from a new perspective, in order contribute to a better
  understanding of these problems in the research community. We expect
  that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical
  assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a certain problem or
  explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, possibly
  corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments.

Submissions of research and in-use papers should be formatted according
to Springer Verlag LNCS guidelines, not exceed 15 pages, and uploaded
using Easychair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ekaw2014).
Position papers are required to have at most 5 pages in the same format.

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

Combined conference/journal (fast-track) submission:

In addition to the regular conference submission, we offer authors the
possibility to submit their work to a combined conference/journal
submission track. Papers submitted via this track will be published as
regular research paper in the EKAW 2014 Springer conference proceedings;
an extended version of the paper will be published as a full journal
paper at the Semantic Web journal (SWJ) by IOS Press.

The deadline and Easychair submission system for the combined submission
is the same as for the conference-only track. Authors interested in the
combined track should indicate this via the submission system.  Papers
submitted to the combined track will then undergo the regular (open and
transparent) SWJ review process with the following possible decisions:

* Rejected
* Accepted for the conference proceedings
* Accepted for the conference proceedings and invited for extended
  submission to the Semantic Web journal

Papers that are acceptable for both will be printed in the Springer
volume and authors will be asked to submit an extended version (at least
30-50% new content, e.g., full literature review, full evaluation,
proofs, additional results, additional case studies, implementation
details) within 6 weeks. This extended version will then undergo a
fast-track review process, i.e., we assume that the paper as such is
'acceptable' and the reviewers will focus on revisions. These revisions
could still be substantial and the final acceptance is based on their
authors' ability to address those revisions. Papers in the 'accepted for
the conference proceedings' category will be accepted to the EKAW
Springer proceedings.'

The organizers of EKAW 2014 are committed to an open and transparent
reviewing process. For this reason we encourage authors to submit their

Résumé

Les systèmes de question-réponse renvoient une réponse précise à une
question formulée en langue naturelle. Les systèmes de question-réponse
actuels, ainsi que les campagnes d'évaluation les évaluant, font en
général l'hypothèse qu'une seule réponse est attendue pour une question.
Or nous avons constaté que, souvent, ce n'était pas le cas, surtout
quand on cherche les réponses sur le Web et non dans une collection
finie de documents.

Nous nous sommes donc intéressés au traitement des questions attendant
plusieurs réponses à travers un système de question-réponse sur le Web
en français. Pour cela, nous avons développé le système Citron capable
d'extraire des réponses multiples différentes à des questions factuelles
en domaine ouvert, ainsi que de repérer et d'extraire le critère variant
(date, lieu) source de la multiplicité des réponses. Nous avons montré
grâce à notre étude de différents corpus que les réponses à de telles
questions se trouvaient souvent dans des tableaux ou des listes mais que
ces structures sont difficilement analysables automatiquement sans
prétraitement. C'est pourquoi, nous avons également développé l'outil
Kitten qui permet d'extraire le contenu des documents HTML sous forme de
texte et aussi de repérer, analyser et formater ces structures.

Enfin, nous avons réalisé deux expériences avec des utilisateurs. La 
première expérience évaluait Citron et les êtres humains sur la tâche 
d'extraction de réponse multiples : les résultats ont montré que Citron 
était plus rapide que les êtres humains et que l'écart entre la qualité 
des réponses de Citron et celle des utilisateurs était raisonnable. La 
seconde expérience a évalué la satisfaction des utilisateurs concernant 
la présentation de réponses multiples : les résultats ont montré que les 
utilisateurs préféraient la présentation de Citron agrégeant les 
réponses et y ajoutant un critère variant (lorsqu'il existe) par rapport 
à la présentation utilisée lors des campagnes d'évaluation.


Abstract

Question answering systems find and extract a precise answer to a
question posed in a natural language. Both current question-answering
systems and evaluation campaign often assume that only one single answer
is expected for a question. Our corpus studies show that this is rarely
the case, specially when searching answers from the Web compared to a
frozen collection of documents.

We therefore focus on questions expecting multiple correct answers from
the Web by creating the question-answering system Citron. Citron is
dedicated to extract multiple answers in open domain and identify the
shifting criteria (date, location) which is often the reason of this
answer multiplicity.

Our corpus studies show that the answers of this kind of question are
often used in structures such as tables and lists which cannot be
analysed without a suitable preprocessing. Consequently we created the
Kitten software for extracting text information from HTML documents and
also both identifying and formatting these structures.

We finally evaluate Citron through two experiments involving users. The
first experiment evaluates both Citron and human beings on the multiple
answers extraction: results show that Citron was faster than human and
that the quality difference between answers extracted by Citron and
human was reasonable. The second experiment evaluates user satisfaction
regarding the presentation of multiple answers: results show that users
have a preference for Citron presentation aggregating answers and adding
the shifting criteria (if it exists) over the presentation used by
evaluation campaign.


Cordialement.

Le Labex EFL “Empirical foundations of linguistics” (Sorbonne Paris
Cité) offre un contrat doctoral de 3 ans sur le thème suivant:

Typologie quantitative des systèmes de classes flexionnelles


EFL (http://www.labex-efl.org/?q=en) est un projet conjoint sur 10 ans
de 13 laboratoires appartenant à 5 universités de la région
parisienne. La personne recrutée travaillera au sein de l'axe 2:
"Grammaire expérimentale", à compter d'octobre 2014.

Les candidats devront justifier de qualifications en linguistique, en
informatique, ou dans ces deux domaines simultanément, au niveau master.

Les candidatures seront évaluées par un comité d’experts interne au
projet. Le principal critère de choix sera le potentiel de recherche des
candidats, évalué à partir du mémoire de master ou de documents
équivalents, d’autres travaux académiques, et de la description du
projet. Les candidatures sont à envoyer aux deux adresses ci-dessous, en
joignant :

- un CV ;
- le nom de deux référents (avec leur adresse courriel) ;
- les travaux ou publications pertinents.

La thèse de doctorat pourra être écrite en français ou en anglais. Elle
sera réalisée dans le cadre d’un sous-projet sur l’évaluation
quantitative de la complexité des systèmes flexionnels, organisé par un
groupe de morphologues théoriciens, de linguistes informaticiens et de
linguistes de terrain. Les tâches du doctorant incluront l’évaluation de
la pertinence de diverses approches (semi-)automatiques de
classification flexionnelle et l’application de ces approches à des
ensembles de données typologiquement diversifiées. Il n’est pas attendu
de la part du candidat de compétences avancées en programmation, mais
une familiarité minimale avec les langages de scripts sera
nécessaire. Une connaissance des buts et des méthodes de la morphologie
théorique et de la typologie est indispensable. Une expérience de
travail sur des langues autres que romanes et germaniques serait un
plus.

Atelier Web Intelligence

RFIA 2014 ? Rouen ? 30 juin et 1er juillet 2014

https://sites.google.com/site/wirfia2014/

L?objectif de l?atelier Web Intelligence est de faire le point sur les
mod?les et techniques de l?Intelligence Artificielle en lien avec le
d?veloppement du Web.

Le Web constitue en effet un espace d?information et de services,
intrins?quement ouvert et d?centralis?, qui connait une formidable
multiplication des donn?es, des services et des connaissances
disponibles, en m?me temps qu'une extension dans le monde physique (web
des objets) et dans les r?seaux sociaux de ses utilisateurs (web
social). Dans une soci?t? qui ?volue vers le ? tout num?rique ?, un
enjeu majeur est de pouvoir utiliser le web comme support ? la
communication et ? l??change d?information, ? la cr?ation et ? la
composition personnalis?es de multiples services accessibles par tous et
de n?importe o?. Cela concerne donc les entreprises, les organisations
locales, r?gionales et gouvernementales et, de plus en plus, le grand
public, les utilisateurs ?tant consid?r?s individuellement ou en tant
que membres de communaut?s.

Il s?agit donc dans cet atelier de pr?senter les recherches et
d?veloppements en cours, de rassembler les communaut?s de l'Intelligence
Artificielle contribuant aux diff?rentes facettes de cette probl?matique
large et soulevant de nombreux d?fis tant au niveau des usages que des
technologies.

Contributions

Les contributions attendues (en fran?ais ou en anglais) peuvent ?tre :
- des articles scientifiques (max 6 pages) ;
- des descriptions de r?alisations ou d?exp?rimentations en cours (2
  pages);

Les formats de soumissions respecteront le format indiqu? sur :

Workshop on 
NATURAL LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER SCIENCE  (NLCS '14)
17-18 July, 2014 Vienna, Austria
http://www.indiana.edu/~iulg/nlcs.html

AIMS AND SCOPE

Formal tools coming from logic, category theory, are important for
natural language processing and especially for computational semantics.
Moreover, work on these tools borrows heavily from all areas of
theoretical computer science.  In the other direction, applications
having to do with natural language have inspired developments on the
formal side.  The workshop invites papers on both topics and their
applications, as well as on the combination between logical and
statistical methods.

Specific topics include, but are not limited to:
* linguistic, computational and logical aspects of the interface between
  syntax and semantics
* logical aspects of linguistic theories 
* logic for semantics of lexical items, sentences, discourse and dialog
* continuations in natural language semantics
* formal tools in textual inference, such as logics for natural language
  inference
* applications of category theory in semantics
* linear logic in semantics
* formal approaches to unifying data-driven (quantitative, statistical)
  and declarative (logical) approaches to semantics
* natural language processing tools using some logic

------------------------------------------------------------------------
La conf?rence d'Ing?nierie des Connaissances f?te cette ann?e ses 25
ans! Elle est le rendez-vous annuel de la communaut? fran?aise et
francophone qui s'int?resse aux probl?matiques li?es ? l'ing?nierie des
connaissances. Acad?miques et industriels s'y retrouvent pour ?changer
et r?fl?chir sur des probl?mes de recherche qui se posent en
acquisition, repr?sentation et gestion des connaissances.

L'essor des sciences et technologies de l'information et de la
communication, et notamment des technologies du web, dans l'ensemble de
la soci?t? engendre des mutations dans les pratiques individuelles et
collectives. L'ing?nierie des connaissances accompagne cette ?volution,
en inventant les mod?les, m?thodes et outils permettant l'int?gration de
connaissances et de raisonnements sur ces connaissances dans des
environnements informatiques.

De fait, on constate aujourd'hui une omnipr?sence des connaissances, en
m?me temps qu'un d?cloisonnement des communaut?s de recherche en
Intelligence Artificielle pour r?pondre aux probl?mes qui se posent.
Ainsi, la construction des syst?mes ? base de connaissances fait appel ?
l'ing?nierie des connaissances, au traitement automatique des langues, ?
l'apprentissage automatique et ? la fouille de donn?es; le traitement
des connaissances associe ing?nierie des connaissances avec recherche
d'information, recherche op?rationnelle, analyse de donn?es; la
mod?lisation des environnements informatiques, de ses acteurs humains ou
logiciels, allie ing?nierie des connaissances et syst?mes multi-agents;
enfin l'ing?nierie des connaissances touche ? des th?matiques classiques
dans les communaut?s de l'interaction homme-machine et des
environnements informatiques pour l'apprentissage humain.

En pla?ant ainsi l'utilisateur au coeur des syst?mes informatiques,
l'ing?nierie des connaissances est sollicit?e pour assister
l'utilisateur dans le traitement de la masse de donn?es disponibles sur
le web, pour les visualiser, contextualiser, expliquer, recommander,
classer, pr?dire, approximer, s?curiser, fiabiliser, pour pallier ? leur
impr?cision voire incoh?rence.

Atelier Applications Pratiques de l'Intelligence Artificielle

RFIA 2014 ? Rouen ? 30 juin et 1er juillet 2014


Les recherches en Intelligence Artificielle (IA) donnent lieu depuis de
nombreuses ann?es ? de belles applications qui sont maintenant d?ploy?es
surtout dans le domaine industriel mais pas uniquement. Le succ?s de ces
applications est tel qu?il n??tonne plus. Les mod?les et technologies de
l?IA sont parfois int?gr?s ? un tel point aux autres composants
informatiques que ces ?l?ments fondamentaux ne sont plus visibles aux
utilisateurs et que les concepteurs les passent sous silence.

Cet atelier a pour objectif de ? d?senfouir ? les ?l?ments d?IA des
applications o? ils sont int?gr?s et souhaite faire le point sur leurs
avanc?es. L?objectif est de proposer aux chercheurs, acad?miques,
industriels et autres, un lieu d??change o? ils puissent partager leurs
exp?riences, d?battre des diff?rents verrous qu?ils rencontrent et des
m?thodes qu?ils mettent en ?uvre, pour enrichir le potentiel applicatif
des mod?les et outils de l?IA, en mettant en valeur l?IA de ces
applications.

Contributions

Les contributions attendues (en fran?ais ou en anglais) peuvent ?tre :

- des articles scientifiques (max 6 pages) ;

- des descriptions de r?alisations ou d?exp?rimentations en cours (2
  pages);

Les formats de soumissions respecteront le format indiqu? sur :

double orientation ? Lexique ? Psycholinguistique de l?Acquisition ? 
Nancy (Universit? de Lorraine) 
Rentr?e 2014-2015 

A la rentr?e 2014, le Master Sciences du Langage de l?Universit? de
Lorraine comporte deux sp?cialit?s : 

"Apprentissage et Acquisition du Langage" (AAL) et "Langues Textes et
Discours" (LTD) offertes sur les sites de Nancy et Metz.

A Nancy, la sp?cialit? LTD consiste en une double orientation
"Lexique-Psycholinguistique de l?Acquisition", qui repose sur deux
th?matiques clefs du laboratoire ATILF ( http://www.atilf.fr/ ), auquel
est adoss? le Master : 

- le lexique 
- l?acquisition du langage. 

Outre le perfectionnement dans les disciplines linguistiques
fondamentales connexes au lexique (s?mantique, syntaxe, typologie,
discours, pragmatique), les enseignements obligatoires sont : 

- lexicologie, lexicographie, morphologie, morphophonologie, interface
  lexique-syntaxe, connecteurs, temps & aspect, s?mantique lexicale,
  phras?ologie pour la partie "Lexique" (216h); 

ET 

- psycholinguistique de l?acquisition, d?veloppement normal et
  pathologique du langage, Linguistique de la LSF, Langue vivante LSF,
  pour la partie "Psycholinguistique de l?Acquisition" (120h).

Le quatri?me semestre de ce Master est consacr? soit ? un stage en
milieu professionnel pour la sp?cialit? AAL, soit ? la r?alisation d?un
m?moire de recherche dans l?un des domaines de recherche du laboratoire
ATILF.

               http://perso.limsi.fr/hamon/Computerm2014/

*Extended deadline: 10 May 2014*

Invited speaker: Noemie Elhadad (Department of Biomedical Informatics,
                                 Columbia University, USA)

Call for submissions:

Computational Terminology covers an increasingly important aspect in
Natural Language Processing areas such as text mining, information
retrieval, information extraction, summarisation, textual entailment,
document management systems, question-answering systems, ontology
building, etc. Terminological information is paramount for knowledge
mining from texts for scientific discovery and competitive
intelligence. Scientific needs in fast growing domains (such as
biomedicine, chemistry and ecology) and the overwhelming amount of
textual data published daily demand that terminology is acquired and
managed systematically and automatically; while in well established
domains (such as law, economy, banking and music) the demand is on
fine-grained analyses of documents for knowledge description and
acquisition. Moreover, capturing new concepts leads to the acquisition
and management of new knowledge.

The aim of this fourth CompuTerm workshop is to bring together Natural
Language Processing researchers to discuss recent advances in
computational terminology and its impact in many NLP applications. The
topics addressed in this workshop are wide ranging:

- term extraction, recognition and filtering, which is the core of the
  terminological activity that lays basis for other terminological
  topics and tasks;

- event recognition and extraction, that extends the notion of the
  terminological entity from terms meaning static units up to terms
  meaning procedural and dynamic processes;

- acquisition of semantic relations among terms, which is also an
  important research topic as the acquisition of semantic relationships
  between terms finds applications such as the population and update of
  existing knowledge bases, definition of domain specific templates in
  information extraction and disambiguation of terms;

- term variation management, that helps to deal with the dynamic nature
  of terms, their acquisition from heterogeneous sources, their
  integration, standardisation and representation for a large range of
  applications and resources, is also increasingly important, as one has
  to address this research problem when working with various controlled
  vocabularies, thesauri, ontologies and textual data. Term variation is
  also related to their paraphrases and reformulations, due to
  historical, regional, local or personal issues. Besides, the discovery
  of synonym terms or term clusters is equally beneficial to many NLP
  applications;

- definition acquisition, that covers important research and aims to
  provide precise and nonambiguous description of terminological
  entities.  Such definitions may contain elements necessary for the
  formal description of terms and concepts within ontologies;

- consideration of the user expertise, that is becoming a new issue in
  the terminological activity, takes into account the fact that
  specialized domains contain notions and terms often nonunderstandable
  to non-experts or to laymen (such as patients within the medical area,
  or bank clients within banking and economy areas). This aspect,
  although related to specialized areas, provides direct link between
  specialized languages and general language;

- systematic terminology management and updating domain specific
  dictionaries and thesauri, that are important aspects for maintaining
  the existing terminological resources. These aspects become crucial
  because the amount of the existing terminological resources is
  constantly increasing and because their perennial and efficient use
  depends on their maintenance and updating, while their re-acquisition
  is costly and often non-reproducible;

- monolingual and multilingual resources, that open the possibility for
  developing cross-lingual and multi-lingual applications, requires
  specific corpora, methods and tools which design and evaluation are
  challenging issues;

- robustness and portability of methods, which allows to apply methods
  developed in one given context to other contexts (corpora, domains,
  languages, etc.) and to share the research expertise among them;

- social netwoks and modern media processing, that attracts an
  increasing number of researchers and that provides challenging
  material to be processed;

- utilization of terminologies in various NLP applications, as they are
  a necessary component of any NLP system dealing with domain-specific
  literature, is another novel and challenging research direction.

The workshop submissions are open to different approaches, ranging from
term extraction in various languages (using verb co-occurrence,
information theoretic approaches, machine learning, etc.), translation
pairs extracting from bilingual corpora based on terminology, up to
semantic oriented approaches and theoretical aspects of terminology.
Besides, experiments on the evaluation of terminological methods and
tools are also encouraged since they provide interesting and useful
proof about the utility of terminological resources:

- direct evaluation may concern the efficiency of the terminological
  methods and tools to capture the terminological entities and
  relations, as well as various kinds of related information;

- indirect evaluation may concern the use of terminological resources in
  various NLP applications and the impact these resources have on the
  performance of the automatic systems. In this case, research and
  competition tracks (such as TREC, BioCreative, CLEF, CLEF-eHealth,
  I2B2, *SEM, and other shared tasks), provide particularly fruitful
  evaluation contexts and proved very successful in identifying key
  problems in terminology such as term variation and ambiguity.

We encourage authors to submit their research work related to various
aspects of computational terminology, such as mentioned in this
call. The workshop authors will be proposed to submit an extented
version of their work to a special issue of an international journal or
of a book collection.

================================
LD4KD 2014
1st Workshop on Linked Data for Knowledge Discovery

http://events.kmi.open.ac.uk/ld4kd2014/

co-located with the European Conference on Machine Learning and
Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery 2014 (ECML/PKDD 2014)
15-19 September 2014, Nancy, France (http://www.ecmlpkdd2014.org/ )

================================

Linked Data have attracted a lot of attention in recent years in many
research areas, as their technologies and principles provide new ways to
overcome typical data management and consumption issues such as
reliability, heterogeneity, provenance or completeness. However, the way
in which Linked Data can be applicable and beneficial to the Knowledge
Discovery (KDD) pocess is still not completely understood. Many aspects
of KDD could benefit from Linked Data, e.g. mining Linked Data sources,
using Linked Data to enrich, represent or integrate local data for data
preparation, interpretation or visualisation.

LD4KD will be an interactive hub to explore the benefits of Linked Data
principles and technologies for Knowledge Discovery, together with
addressing the new challenges that will emere from joining the two
fields. It will be an opportunity for practitioners of both fields to
create communication and collaboration channels,and bridge the gap
between their overlapping, but mostly isolated communities.

The workshop encourages the participation of researchers from the
Knowledge Discovery field to discuss and get informed about the use,
benefits and challenges of Linked Data, while th Linked Data researchers
can take advantage of and adapt Knowledge Discovery methods in their
domain.

*SCOPE*

We welcome high quality position and research papers in which (1) Linked
Data are used as support of Knowledge Discovery processes to extract
useful knowledge, or (2) Knowledge Discovery techniques are adapted to
work and possibly extend Linked Data.

Topics of either theoretical and applied interest include, but are not
limited to:

- Linked Data for data pre-processing: cleaning, sorting, filtering or
  enrichment
- Linked Data applied to Machine Learning
- Linked Data for pattern extraction and behaviour detection
- Linked Data for pattern interpretation, visualization or optimisation
- Reasoning with patterns and Linked Data
- Reasoning on and extracting knowledge from Linked Data
- Linked Data mining
- Links prediction or links discovery using KDD
- Graph mining in Linked Data
- Interacting with Linked Data for Knowledge Discovery

*IMPORTANT DATES*

Paper submission deadline: June 20th
Notification Of Acceptance: July 20th
Camera ready copies due: August 5th, 2014
Workshop date: September 15th/19th, 2014

Medical Information Retrieval (MedIR) Workshop http://medir.dcu.ie/

At SIGIR 2014, July 11 2014, Gold Coast, Australia
Call for Papers (2 & 4 page)

Submission deadline: **May 5**


Medical information search refers to methodologies and technologies that
seek to improve access to medical information archives via a process of
information retrieval (IR). Such information is now potentially
accessible from many sources including the general web, social media,
journal articles, and hospital records.

Medical information is of interest to a wide variety of users, including
patients and their families, researchers, general practitioners and
clinicians, and practitioners with specific expertise such as
radiologists.  Despite the popularity of the medical domain for users of
search engines, and current interest in this topic within the
information retrieval research community, development of search and
access technologies remains particularly challenging. One of the central
issues in medical information search is diversity of the users of these
services. In particular, they will have varying categories of
information needs, varying levels of medical knowledge, and varying
language skills. In addition, the format, reliability, and quality of
biomedical and medical information varies greatly. A single health
record can contain clinical notes, technical pathology data, images, and
patient-contributed histories, and may be linked by a physician to
research papers. The importance of health and medical topics and their
impact on people?s everyday lives makes the need for retrieval of
accurate and reliable information especially important.  Determining the
likely reliability of available information is challenging.  Finally, as
with information retrieval in general, the evaluation of medical search
tools is vital and challenging.  For example, there are no established
or standardized baselines or evaluation metrics, and limited
availability of test collections.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in medical
information search with the goal of identifying specific research
challenges that need to be addressed to advance the state-of-the-art and
to foster interdisciplinary collaborations towards the meeting of these
challenges. To enable this, we encourage participation from researchers
in all fields related to medical information search including mainstream
information retrieval, but also natural language processing,
multilingual text processing, and medical image analysis.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

   - Users and information needs
   - Semantics and NLP for medical IR
   - Reliability and trust in medical IR
   - Personalised search
   - Evaluation of medical IR
   - Multilingual issues in medical IR
   - Multimedia technologies in medical IR
   - The role of social media in medical IR

Paper Submissions

The workshop is now accepting paper submissions. Short papers (4 pages)
and short position papers (2 pages) describing approaches or ideas /
challenges on the topics of the workshop are invited. Submissions should
be in ACM SIGS format. LaTeX and Word templates are available

About Inria and the job
Public science and technology institution established in 1967, Inria is
is the only public research body fully dedicated to computational
sciences. Combining computer sciences with mathematics, Inria's 3,400
researchers strive to invent the digital technologies of the future.

Educated at leading international universities, they creatively
integrate basic research with applied research and dedicate themselves
to solving real problems, collaborating with the main players in public
and private research in France and abroad and transferring the fruits of
their work to innovative companies. The researchers at Inria published
over 4,800 articles in 2010. They are behind over 270 active patents and
105 start-ups. In 2010, Inria's budget came to 252.5 million euros, 26%
of which represented its own resources.

With recent advances in technology behind the movements of Quantified
Self, LifeLogging and Souveillance, people will soon be generating
enormous quantities of data associated with the personal lives. The
TRACES project seeks to transform this data into classified information
and privately exploitable knowledge by creating the semantic structures
to access personal information archives. User generated personal data
can be textual (emails sent, internet posts, instant messages), attached
to a user from external sources (email sent, messages received, web
browsing history), or passively captured by wearable computing (GPS
coordinates, digital glasses motion captures, vital signs).

In order to store and retrieve and exploit this information, it has to
be classified and semantically annotated. To perform this
classification, we have semantic resources built by experts (e.g., MeSh
for medical knowledge, the NASA thesaurus for aeronautics, etc.) We have
general knowledge resources built by lexicographers (e.g. dictionaries,
WordNet). There are also crowd-sourced semantic resources (FreeBase,
DMOZ, etc.). But for this personal information, we will need personal
semantic resources. An example of such a resource is the face
recognition models that Google Photos or Facebook builds for your
labeled friends and family. We do not yet know how to build
user-oriented, personal semantic models and resources from a person?s
digital life: mails, browsing, quantified life, daily routes, vital
statistics. Though collection and classification of personal information
is exploited for categorising people into advertising or national
security categories, producing personal categories that allow a user to
exploit their own digitally generated and captured information for their
own benefit remains an open research problem that the TRACES project
addresses.
 
Mission
The principal mission of the postdoctoral candidate is to find new ways
of inducing taxonomies and semantic dimensions from user generated and
user captured personal data, integrating textual, quantified,
geolocalized, image, sound and video data. The postdoc will also assist
the TRACES team in developing algorithms and technology for creating a
platform for private, personal information management.
 
Job offer description
The postdoctoral researcher will perform the following work: implement
recent taxonomy/ontology induction algorithms, adapting them to the
problem of personal information (see references below), applying them to
personal data contributed by TRACES team members, evaluating results,
and present their results in an international conference or workshop;
aid TRACES members in the construction of a private personal information
platform based on open source information retrieval systems
(Lucene/SolR); discover and adapt existing open data taxonomies to the
platform; study how GPS information and other quantified personal data
can be integrated into and augment the personal semantic structures
induced from textual sources

Atelier Applications Pratiques de l'Intelligence Artificielle

RFIA 2014 ? Rouen ? 30 juin et 1er juillet 2014

Les recherches en Intelligence Artificielle (IA) donnent lieu depuis de
nombreuses ann?es ? de belles applications qui sont maintenant d?ploy?es
surtout dans le domaine industriel mais pas uniquement. Le succ?s de ces
applications est tel qu?il n??tonne plus. Les mod?les et technologies de
l?IA sont parfois int?gr?s ? un tel point aux autres composants
informatiques que ces ?l?ments fondamentaux ne sont plus visibles aux
utilisateurs et que les concepteurs les passent sous silence.

Cet atelier a pour objectif de ? d?senfouir ? les ?l?ments d?IA des
applications o? ils sont int?gr?s et souhaite faire le point sur leurs
avanc?es. L?objectif est de proposer aux chercheurs, acad?miques,
industriels et autres, un lieu d??change o? ils puissent partager leurs
exp?riences, d?battre des diff?rents verrous qu?ils rencontrent et des
m?thodes qu?ils mettent en ?uvre, pour enrichir le potentiel applicatif
des mod?les et outils de l?IA, en mettant en valeur l?IA de ces
applications.

Call for Papers

--FCA4AI-- 
``What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?'' 
(Third Edition) 
co-located with ECAI 2014 

August 19 2014 

Prague, Czech Republic 

http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru 

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

General 

The first and the second editions of the FCA4AI Workshop (ECAI 2012,
Montpellier and IJCAI 2013, Beijing) showed that many researchers
working in Artificial Intelligence are indeed interested by a powerful
method for classification and mining such as Formal Concept Analysis
(see http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-939/ and http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1058/). We
have the chance to organize a new edition of the workshop in Prague at
the ECAI 2014 Conference.

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory
aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a
concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications) which can be
used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge processing involving learning,
knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology
engineering, and as well as information retrieval and text
processing. Thus, there exist many ``natural links'' between FCA and AI.

Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around
FCA, in particular a strand of work emerged that is aimed at extending
the possibilities of FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing, such as work on
pattern structures and relational context analysis. These extensions are
aimed at allowing FCA to deal with more complex than just binary data,
both from the data analysis and knowledge discovery point of view and
from the knowledge representation point of view, including, e.g.,
ontology engineering. All these works extend the capabilities of FCA and
offer new possibilities for AI activities in the framework of FCA.

Accordingly, in this workshop, we will be interested in two main issues:

- How can FCA support AI activities such as knowledge processing
  (knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning),
  learning (clustering, pattern and data mining), natural language
  processing, information retrieval.

- How can FCA be extended in order to help AI researchers to solve new
  and complex problems in their domain.

The workshop is dedicated to discuss such issues. 

TOPICS OF INTEREST include but are not limited to: 

- Concept lattices and related structures: description logics, pattern
  structures, relational structures.

- Knowledge discovery and data mining with FCA: association rules,
  itemsets and data dependencies, attribute implications, data
  pre-processing, redundancy and dimensionality reduction,
  classification and clustering.

- Knowledge engineering and ontology engineering: knowledge
  representation and reasoning.

- Scalable algorithms for concept lattices and artificial intelligence
  ``in the large'' (distributed aspects, big data).

- Applications of concept lattices: semantic web, information retrieval,
  visualization and navigation, pattern recognition.

The workshop will include time for audience discussion for having a 
better understanding of the issues, challenges, and ideas being 
presented. 

IMPORTANT DATES:

Submission deadline: May 30, 2014 
Notification to authors: June 23, 2014 
Final version: July 14, 2014 
Workshop: August 19, 2014

LG-LP 2014 - THIRD CALL FOR PAPERS 
********************************************************* 
Workshop on Lexical and Grammatical Resources for Language Processing
(LG-LP 2014)
Dublin, Ireland, 24 August 2014 
http://lg-lp.info/ [lg-lp.info] 
This workshop is held in conjunction with COLING 2014 
[www.coling-2014.org], co-sponsored by 
ASIALEX and endorsed by SIGLEX 


The workshop aims to bring together members of the language-resource
(LR) landscape, focusing on complex linguistic knowledge that requires
linguistic expertise, e.g. on dictionaries, ontologies and
grammars. Such manually-built resources are key to the development of
natural language processing (NLP) tools and applications. The workshop
intends to strengthen the cohesion of the scientific "production chain"
spanning from the construction of LRs by linguists to their exploitation
in hybrid or symbolic NLP. It is necessary to increase mutual awareness
between researchers along this production chain, regarding their
activities, skills and needs, in view of improving the building
processes of the resources, their validation and their exploitation.

Many linguists are comfortable with descriptive tasks such as checking
lexical entries for a given feature, even if each entry requires
analysing or pondering. On the other hand, computer scientists are
familiar with formalization and, usually, with notions such as
falsifiability or reproducibility, which are fundamental to
sciences. Combining all these skills is likely to stimulate
innovation. The workshop offers an opportunity of interaction which is
required to overcome the compartmentalization between humanities and
sciences, and to intensify co-operation between the two ends of the
chain.

Paper Submission Deadline (Changed) : May 16, 2014 (11:59 pm GMT)

Apologies for cross-posting,

Submissions are invited for the 2nd international workshop on
Multidisciplinary Approaches to Big Social Data Analysis (MABSDA), a
UAI'14 workshop exploring the new frontiers of big data computing for
opinion mining through machine learning techniques, knowledge-based
systems, adaptive and transfer learning, in order to more efficiently
retrieve and extract social information from the Web. The workshop is
going to be held in Quebec City on 27th July. For more information,
please visit: http://sentic.net/mabsda

RATIONALE
As the Web rapidly evolves, Web users are evolving with it. In the 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 Social Web to expand exponentially. The distillation of knowledge
from such a large amount of unstructured information, however, is an
extremely difficult task, as the contents of today's Web are perfectly
suitable for human consumption, but remain hardly accessible to
machines. The opportunity to capture the opinions of the general public
about social events, political movements, company strategies, marketing
campaigns, and product preferences has raised growing interest both
within the scientific community, leading to many exciting open
challenges, as well as in the business world, due to the remarkable
benefits to be had from marketing and financial market prediction.

TOPICS
MABSDA aims to provide an international forum for researchers in the
field of big data computing for opinion mining and sentiment analysis to
share information on their latest investigations in social information
retrieval and their applications both in academic research areas and
industrial sectors. The broader context of the workshop comprehends
information retrieval, natural language processing, web mining, semantic
web, and artificial intelligence.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Machine learning for sentiment mining
- Concept-level sentiment analysis
- Biologically-inspired opinion mining
- Sentiment identification & classification
- Association rule learning for opinion mining
- Time evolving opinion & sentiment analysis
- Multi-modal sentiment analysis
- Multi-domain & cross-domain evaluation
- Knowledge base construction & integration with opinion analysis
- Transfer learning of opinion & sentiment with knowledge bases
- Sentiment topic detection & trend discovery
- Social ranking
- Social network analysis
- Opinion spam detection

SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS
Paper submission and reviewing will be handled electronically via
EasyChair.  Submissions should be formatted in the UAI format and papers
(including figures and text) are limited to 9 pages in length. An
additional 10th page is allowed containing only references. Optional
submissions of supplementary materials are allowed. However, reviewers
are under no obligation to look at the submitted supplementary
materials, and will base their review primarily on the main paper.
Papers that are currently under review or have already been accepted or
published in a refereed venue, including conferences and journals, may
not be submitted. Authors are strongly encouraged to make data and code
publicly available when possible. The review process is double
blind. Please make sure that the submission does not disclose the
author's identities or affiliation.  Selected, expanded versions of
papers presented at the workshop will be invited to a forthcoming
Special Issue of Cognitive Computation on opinion mining and sentiment
analysis.

Title : Describing images in natural language: Towards visually
grounded semantics

Abstract : When we read a descriptive sentences like ?People are
shopping in a supermarket?, we picture an indoor scene where customers
are pushing shopping carts down aisles of produce or other goods,
standing to look at the items on the shelves, or waiting in line to pay,
etc. That is, if we understand a sentence, we infer what other facts are
likely to be true in any situation described by that sentence. These
inferences are an integral part of language understanding, but they
require a great deal of commonsense world knowledge. In this talk, I
will consider two tasks that require systems to draw similar inferences
automatically.
First, I will describe our work on developing systems and data sets to
associate images with sentences that describe what is depicted in
them. I will show that systems that rely on visual and linguistic
features that can be obtained with minimal supervision perform
surprisingly well at describing new images. I will also define a
ranking-based framework to evaluate such systems. In the second part of
this talk, I will describe how we can combine ideas from distributional
lexical semantics and denotational formal semantics to define novel
measures of semantic similarity. We define the 'visual denotation' of
linguistic expressions as the set of images they describe, and use our
data set of 30K images and 150K descriptive captions to construct a
'denotation graph', i.e. a very large subsumption hierarchy over
linguistic expressions and their denotations. This allows us to compute
denotational similarities, which we show to yield state-of-the-art
performance on tasks that require semantic inference.

Appel ? articles pour un dossier publi? en 2015 dans la revue Les Enjeux
de l'information et la communication

? Patrimoine et collections num?riques : politiques, pratiques
professionnelles, usages et dispositifs. ?

Coordinatrices du dossier : 


Viviane Clavier (Gresec, Universit? Stendhal - Grenoble3) 
C?line Paganelli (Gresec, Universit? Paul Val?ry - Montpellier3) 


Le dossier 2015 des Enjeux de l?information et de la communication
s?int?resse aux dispositifs d?acc?s aux collections num?riques, ? leurs
repr?sentations, ? leur conception et ? leurs usages en mettant les
sp?cialistes au centre du questionnement. Ces sp?cialistes peuvent ?tre
des chercheurs (historiens, sociologues, cartographes, sp?cialistes de
litt?rature,?), des enseignants (du secondaire, de l?enseignement
sup?rieur), des amateurs ?clair?s, des professionnels (architectes,
chor?graphes, metteurs en sc?ne, conservateurs, designers). Alors que la
num?risation de collections patrimoniales se poursuit ? un rythme
soutenu, les discours qui accompagnent ces programmes mettent en avant
des pr?occupations de conservation et de mise ? disposition du grand
public. Par le biais de son programme ? d?mocratisation culturelle et de
transmission des savoirs ?, le Minist?re de la Culture a fait, depuis
plusieurs ann?es, de la num?risation du patrimoine culturel une de ses
priorit?s. S?inscrivant dans cet objectif, des institutions, notamment
les mus?es, services d?archives ou biblioth?ques de lecture publique,
sont ainsi partie prenante de nombre de ces projets, cherchant ainsi ?
ouvrir leurs collections au grand public. Les enjeux de la mise en ligne
de ces ? tr?sors ? patrimoniaux se d?placent alors autour de la
m?diation ? l?intention de publics que l?on cherche ? identifier :
public ordinaire ou emp?ch?, scolaires, etc.

Pourtant, les sp?cialistes sont au c?ur de ces dispositifs. D?abord,
parce que des enqu?tes d?usages r?v?lent que la consultation de ces
documents intervient dans un cadre sp?cialis?, voire
professionnel. C?est ainsi que le patrimoine num?rique de presse du 19
?me si?cle mis en ligne par la Biblioth?que municipale de Lyon constitue
un outil de travail pour les organes de presse ou pour les historiens,
que les manuscrits modernes d?auteurs (Balzac, Flaubert, Stendhal,
etc.), lorsqu?ils sont num?ris?s, sont une ressource incontournable des
sp?cialistes en litt?rature. Ensuite, parce que les sp?cialistes de ces
collections sont soit ? l?initiative, soit associ?s ? ces projets de
num?risation et de valorisation de collections. C?est le cas par exemple
des programmes de num?risation de manuscrits d?auteurs dans lesquels
sont impliqu?s des chercheurs en litt?rature, des collections de films
num?ris?s par le Centre National du Cin?ma et de l?Image anim?e, ou
encore des archives photographiques mises en ligne par la M?diath?que de
l?Architecture et du Patrimoine.

Le dossier pour lequel cet appel ? articles est propos?, est consacr? ?
des dispositifs d?acc?s aux collections num?riques pens?s par, pour ou
avec des sp?cialistes de domaines tels la litt?rature, la mode, la
danse, la musique, le th??tre, les arts graphiques, la photographie, les
sciences et les techniques, l?audiovisuel, etc. Ces dispositifs peuvent
?tre partie prenante de programmes de num?risation ambitieux impliquant
des institutions de r?f?rence telles les biblioth?ques, les centres
d?archives, les mus?es, les services patrimoniaux, mais ?galement
d?autres acteurs ?manant d?organisations priv?es ou publiques qui
cherchent ? valoriser leurs archives d?images et de textes, leur
patrimoine scientifique, technique, industriel. Dans tous les cas, il
s?agit de montrer quel r?le jouent les sp?cialistes dans la promotion,
la diffusion, la valorisation et la m?diation de ces collections
num?ris?es. Et outre, il s?agit de s?interroger sur la mani?re dont les
dispositifs sont pens?s pour s?int?grer ? des pratiques professionnelles
clairement identifi?es. Cette analyse ne se limite par aux aspects
techniques des dispositifs mais prend en compte l?environnement social
et les strat?gies d?acteurs qui en sont ? l?origine. Les contributions
s?inscrivent au sein de l?un des axes suivants :

Axe 1. Enjeux autour des dispositifs 

Ce premier axe propose une analyse des dispositifs de valorisation de
collections num?riques. Qui sont les acteurs impliqu?s dans la mise en
place de ces dispositifs (laboratoires de recherche, biblioth?ques ou
services d?archives publiques) ? Quelles sont les strat?gies d?velopp?es
? Quels sont les caract?ristiques et les objectifs ?nonc?s pour ces
dispositifs ? Quelles distinctions sont ?tablies entre ce qui rel?ve de
la publication, de l?auto-promotion, de la publicisation et de la
vulgarisation ?

Axe 2. Contextes et m?diations 

Le deuxi?me axe envisage le r?le des sp?cialistes dans la mise en ?uvre
de formes de m?diation destin?es ? valoriser les collections (parcours
p?dagogiques, parcours th?matiques, expositions virtuelles, etc.). Quels
sont les rapports qui se tissent entre m?diation num?rique et sociale
dans des lieux culturels (biblioth?ques, mus?es, etc.), ou au sein
d??v?nements comme la F?te du Livre ou la F?te de la Science ? Quelles
actions sont d?velopp?es pour valoriser des territoires ou des publics
(ordinaires, emp?ch?s...) ?

Axe 3. Constructions sociales et pratiques informationnelles 

Le troisi?me axe analyse les usages des dispositifs d?acc?s aux
collections num?riques et la place qu?occupent ces dispositifs dans les
pratiques informationnelles des diff?rents acteurs concern?s : grand
public, sp?cialistes, professionnels de l?information et des
biblioth?ques. Qui sont les usagers de ces dispositifs ? Pour quelles
raisons y ont-ils recours ? Quelle est la place de ces dispositifs dans
leurs pratiques informationnelles ? Comment ces dispositifs
s?articulent-ils avec d?autres ressources documentaires ?
Renouvellent-ils les pratiques en lien avec leur conception ?

Axe 4. Organisation des connaissances 

Le quatri?me axe envisage les modes d?organisation des connaissances de
dispositifs informationnels destin?s ? repr?senter, organiser et
structurer des connaissances utiles aux sp?cialistes. De quelle nature
sont ces connaissances (langagi?res, audio-visuelles, graphiques?) ?
Comment sont-elles structur?es ? Comment y acc?de-t-on ? Quel r?le
jouent les documents ? Quelles sont les modalit?s de lecture, d??criture
et de partage des connaissances ?

Modalit?s de soumission 

Le dossier 2015 des Enjeux de l?information et de la communication
sollicite des analyses r?centes et des contributions originales sur les
questions ?voqu?es supra. Les approches relevant des sciences de
l?information et de la communication sont privil?gi?es. Les travaux
portant sur des exp?riences men?es dans d?autres pays que la France sont
les bienvenus.

Les propositions (4000 signes espaces non compris) indiquant
probl?matique et m?thodologie sont ? adresser ? Viviane Clavier et
C?line Paganelli pour le 1er septembre 2014 . Adresses :
viviane.clavier at u-grenoble3.fr et celine.paganelli at univ-montp3.fr

Apr?s s?lection par le comit? de lecture (r?ponse le 15 octobre 2014 ),
les premi?res versions compl?tes des textes (de 25 000 signes espaces
non compris et r?dig?s selon les normes ?ditoriales des articles de la
revue disponibles ? cette adresse :
http://lesenjeux.u-grenoble3.fr/pageshtml/soumettre.html) sont ?
remettre pour le 15 d?cembre 2014 , elles seront soumises alors ? une
?valuation en double aveugle.

A la suite de cette phase, la version d?finitive du texte (prenant en
compte les ?ventuelles remarques et critiques des ?valuateurs), incluant
les corrections mineures ou majeures demand?es, sera soumise au comit?
?ditorial de la revue qui est souverain pour l?accord d?finitif de
publication en mars 2015.

2?me APPEL ? D?MONSTRATION ? JEP?2014

Le Mans du 23 au 27 juin 2014

CALENDRIER

Date limite de soumission : 18 mai 2014
Notification aux auteurs : 23 mai 2014

PR?SENTATION

Organis?e par l??quipe LST du LIUM (Laboratoire d'Informatique de
l'Universit? du Maine) et l'?quipe TALN du LINA (Laboratoire
d'Informatique de Nantes Atlantique), la conf?rence JEP?2014 se tiendra
du 23 au 27 juin 2014 au Mans.

La conf?rence JEP?2014 comprendra des communications orales et
affich?es, des conf?rences invit?es et une session de d?monstration.

ORGANISATION

Les organisateurs de la conf?rence ont le plaisir d?inviter les
participants ? pr?senter des d?monstrations de logiciels, de prototypes
qui s?appuient sur des m?thodes de traitement automatique de la
parole. Dans ce cadre, les professionnels de l?industrie peuvent faire
acte de candidature pour pr?senter leur logiciel au cours de cette
session. 
L?objet de cette derni?re est d?offrir un cadre d?interaction entre les
milieux industriel et acad?mique sur les questions inh?rentes au
traitement automatique de la parole. 
Lorsqu'elles permettent ce type d'interaction, les pr?sentations
d'?tudes sur la parole qui ne concernent ni logiciel ni prototype sont
?galement invit?es.

La session DEMONSTRATIONS ET INDUSTRIELLE, accueillera des pr?sentations
sous les formes suivantes (selon les besoins et disponibilit?s) :

stand d?exposant ;
affiche de pr?sentation ;
d?monstration de produits logiciels.

La premi?re partie cette session ne sera accessible qu'aux conf?renciers
inscrits ? la conf?rence. Dans un effort de diss?mination scientifique
et technique, la seconde partie de la session sera ouverte au grand
public.

Pour participer, les candidats devront envoyer un r?sum? (2 page maximum
au format de la conf?rence) aux adresses : yannick.esteve at univ-lemans.fr
et emmanuel.morin at univ-nantes.fr le 11 mai 2014 au plus tard. Les
participants seront choisis par le comit? d?organisation, ind?pendament
du processus de s?lection scientifique habituel. Les crit?res de
s?lection s?appuieront sur la pertinence des propositions au regard des
th?matiques affich?es par la conf?rences JEP et de leur potentiel
d'interactions entre milieu industriel et acad?mique.

Arabic Natural Language Processing Workshop
collocated with EMNLP 2014, Doha, Qatar

Workshop date:?Saturday October 25, 2014
Paper submission deadline:?July 26, 2014
Shared task registration deadline:?July 1, 2014

Workshop Website:?http://www.emnlp2014.org/workshops/anlp/call.html
Shared Task Website:?http://www.emnlp2014.org/workshops/anlp/shared_task.html

=======================================================

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
(details below).

SHARED TASK

As part of the Arabic Natural Language Processing Workshop at EMNLP
2014, we will conduct a shared task on Automatic Arabic Error
Correction. We designed this task in the traditions of high profile
shared tasks in natural language processing such as CONLL?s
grammar/error detection and correction shared tasks in 2011-2013 and
numerous machine translation campaigns by NIST/WMT/MEDAR, among others.
The task relies on resources created under the Qatar Arabic Language
Bank (QALB) project (currently over 1M words of manually corrected
Arabic text).

A participating system in this shared task will be given Modern Standard
Arabic texts, which are to be automatically corrected. The input will be
provided in Arabic script, and will be annotated for part-of-speech (in
different granularities), inflectional features, clitics (which appear
in 20% of Arabic words), lemmas, and English glosses.  All of the input
text will be preprocessed in a common way to make sure all participants
have access to all of these features at no additional overhead novelty
cost.  We follow the file format and evaluation framework used by the
CONLL shared tasks on error correction. The task is focused on
correction as opposed to identification. There will not be an error
identification task per se.

Participants need to register.  Once registered, all participating teams
will be provided with a common training data set, which includes common
preprocessed input and corrected output. Registration link is on the
Shared Task Website (see above). A common development set will also be
provided. A blind test data set will be used to evaluate the output of
the participating teams. An evaluation script will be provided to all
the teams.  Each participating team can submit up to three systems.
Participants are welcome to use additional resources and tools that are
not part of the released data set. However, all such additions must be
fully disclosed.

Participants are expected to author a short paper (4 pages + 2 for
references) describing their approach, resources and experiments.  The
paper needs to follow the standard format of EMNLP conference.

IMPORTANT DATES

Shared task registration period: April 8, 2014 through July 1, 2014
Shared task test release:  July 7, 2014
Shared task system output collection: July 18, 2014
Submission deadline (Workshop and shared task papers): July 26, 2014

       4th International Workshop on Computational Terminology
			    CompuTerm 2014

			 COLING 2014 Workshop
		  23 August 2014, Dublin, Ireland
	      http://perso.limsi.fr/hamon/Computerm2014/

*Extended deadline: 24 May 2014*

Invited speaker: Noemie Elhadad (Department of Biomedical Informatics,
                                 Columbia University, USA)

Call for submissions:

Computational Terminology covers an increasingly important aspect in
Natural Language Processing areas such as text mining, information
retrieval, information extraction, summarisation, textual entailment,
document management systems, question-answering systems, ontology
building, etc. Terminological information is paramount for knowledge
mining from texts for scientific discovery and competitive
intelligence. Scientific needs in fast growing domains (such as
biomedicine, chemistry and ecology) and the overwhelming amount of
textual data published daily demand that terminology is acquired and
managed systematically and automatically; while in well established
domains (such as law, economy, banking and music) the demand is on
fine-grained analyses of documents for knowledge description and
acquisition. Moreover, capturing new concepts leads to the acquisition
and management of new knowledge.

The aim of this fourth CompuTerm workshop is to bring together Natural
Language Processing researchers to discuss recent advances in
computational terminology and its impact in many NLP applications. The
topics addressed in this workshop are wide ranging:

- term extraction, recognition and filtering, which is the core
  of the terminological activity that lays basis for other
  terminological topics and tasks;

- event recognition and extraction, that extends the notion of the
  terminological entity from terms meaning static units up to terms
  meaning procedural and dynamic processes;

- acquisition of semantic relations among terms, which is also an
  important research topic as the acquisition of semantic
  relationships between terms finds applications such as the
  population and update of existing knowledge bases, definition
  of domain specific templates in information extraction and
  disambiguation of terms;

- term variation management, that helps to deal with the dynamic
  nature of terms, their acquisition from heterogeneous sources, their
  integration, standardisation and representation for a large range of
  applications and resources, is also increasingly important, as one
  has to address this research problem when working with various
  controlled vocabularies, thesauri, ontologies and textual data. Term
  variation is also related to their paraphrases and reformulations,
  due to historical, regional, local or personal issues. Besides, the
  discovery of synonym terms or term clusters is equally
  beneficial to many NLP applications;

- definition acquisition, that covers important research and
  aims to provide precise and nonambiguous description of
  terminological entities.  Such definitions may contain
  elements necessary for the formal description of terms and concepts
  within ontologies;

- consideration of the user expertise, that is becoming a new issue in
  the terminological activity, takes into account the fact that
  specialized domains contain notions and terms often
  nonunderstandable to non-experts or to laymen (such as patients
  within the medical area, or bank clients within banking and economy
  areas). This aspect, although related to specialized areas, provides
  direct link between specialized languages and general language;

- systematic terminology management and updating domain specific
  dictionaries and thesauri, that are important aspects for
  maintaining the existing terminological resources. These aspects
  become crucial because the amount of the existing terminological
  resources is constantly increasing and because their perennial and
  efficient use depends on their maintenance and updating, while
  their re-acquisition is costly and often non-reproducible;

- monolingual and multilingual resources, that open the possibility
  for developing cross-lingual and multi-lingual applications,
  requires specific corpora, methods and tools which design and
  evaluation are challenging issues;

- robustness and portability of methods, which allows to apply methods
  developed in one given context to other contexts (corpora, domains,
  languages, etc.) and to share the research expertise among them;

- social netwoks and modern media processing, that attracts an
  increasing number of researchers and that provides challenging
  material to be processed;

- utilization of terminologies in various NLP applications, as they
  are a necessary component of any NLP system dealing with
  domain-specific literature, is another novel and challenging
  research direction.

The workshop submissions are open to different approaches, ranging
from term extraction in various languages (using verb co-occurrence,
information theoretic approaches, machine learning, etc.), translation
pairs extracting from bilingual corpora based on terminology, up to
semantic oriented approaches and theoretical aspects of terminology.
Besides, experiments on the evaluation of terminological methods and
tools are also encouraged since they provide interesting and useful
proof about the utility of terminological resources:

- direct evaluation may concern the efficiency of the
  terminological methods and tools to capture the terminological
  entities and relations, as well as various kinds of related
  information;

- indirect evaluation may concern the use of terminological resources
  in various NLP applications and the impact these resources have on
  the performance of the automatic systems. In this case, research and
  competition tracks (such as TREC, BioCreative, CLEF, CLEF-eHealth,
  I2B2, *SEM, and other shared tasks), provide particularly fruitful
  evaluation contexts and proved very successful in identifying key
  problems in terminology such as term variation and ambiguity.

We encourage authors to submit their research work related to various
aspects of computational terminology, such as mentioned in this
call. The workshop authors will be proposed to submit an extented
version of their work to a special issue of an international journal
or of a book collection.

Importante dates:

- 1st workshop CFP: 17 February 2014
- Paper due date: 24 May 2014 (*extended deadline*)
- Notification of acceptance: 13 June 2014
- Camera-ready deadline: 4 July 2014

Les masters d'Ing?nierie de la langue de Paris-Sorbonne, ILGII (R) et
IILGI (P), sont maintenant regroup?s dans une seule sp?cialit? de la
mention Litt?rature, Philosophie, Linguistique.
Les deux ann?es du master Langue et Informatique apportent des
connaissances fondamentales sur la langue et son traitement automatique,
sur les interactions langagi?res et la mod?lisation des ph?nom?nes
paralangagiers, ainsi que sur l'ing?nierie des connaissances. Les
enseignements de sp?cialit? d?veloppent ?galement des savoirs et des
savoir-faire : analyse et compr?hension de textes ; reconnaissance et
synth?se de la parole ; sciences affectives et syst?mes de dialogue ;
r?sum? et traduction assist?s par ordinateur; extraction et construction
des connaissances ; intelligence ?conomique. Les enseignements
m?thodologiques du tronc commun de la mention permettent d'articuler ces
enseignements sp?cialis?s avec ce qui rel?ve de l'?pist?mologie de la
litt?rature, de la philologie et de la linguistique. Ce master comporte
deux parcours : un parcours professionnel ? Ing?nierie de la Langue pour
la Soci?t? Num?rique (ILSN) ? et un parcours recherche ? Informatique,
Langue et Interactions (ILI) ?. La diff?renciation entre les deux
parcours se fait au semestre 4.

http://www.univ-lille3.fr/ufr-deccid/sid/

Master ICCD (Sciences de l?Information, Communication, Culture et
Documentation)

Sp?cialit? SID : Sciences de l?Information et du document

Rentr?e 2014-2015 

Site : Pont de Bois, Villeneuve d?Ascq 

A la rentr?e 2014, le Master ICCD de l?Universit? de Lille 3 comporte
parmi ses trois sp?cialit?s, la Sp?cialit? SID (Sciences de
l?Information et du document).

Les formations r?pondent ? une demande constante du monde du travail
dans les divers domaines de la gestion de l?information et des
connaissances (GIDE), de l??dition multim?dia (IDEMM), de la veille et
de l?intelligence ?conomique (PRISME), de la gestion de projets ou du
conseil au sein des organismes publics et priv?s ou la poursuite de la
formation en vue de l?obtention d?un doctorat en Sciences de
l?Information et de la Communication destinant les ?tudiants aux m?tiers
de l?enseignement et de la recherche (SCCD).

Parcours GIDE

Le parcours GIDE (Gestion de l?Information et des Documents pour
l?Entreprise) est consacr? aux syst?mes d?information documentaire
(conception, gestion, audit). De la gestion de l?information et des
connaissances (knowledge management, travail collaboratif)), ?
l?archivistique et au records management, en passant par les diff?rentes
modalit?s de la gestion ?lectronique de document, ce sont tous les
aspects des syst?mes documentaires et de leur usage dans des contextes
sp?cifiques qui sont ?tudi?s. L?accent est mis, par ailleurs, sur la
gestion de projet et la m?thodologie de l?audit afin de former tant aux
m?tiers op?rationnels qu?? ceux du conseil aux entreprises dans ce
domaine.

Responsable p?dagogique de la formation : Laurence Favier

Parcours IDEMM

Fortement ancr? dans le champ de l?ing?nierie multim?dia, le parcours
IDEMM (Ing?nierie Documentaire, Edition et M?diation Multim?dia) vise ?
d?velopper des comp?tences relatives ? la production ?ditoriale et
informatique de documents et aux processus m?diatis?s d?information, en
particulier sur le web. IDEMM a pour finalit? de former des
professionnels sp?cialistes du document multim?dia ma?trisant la
conception et l'?dition, le management et la communication, l'analyse et
l??valuation de produits sur le web (Webmaster, Chef de projet web,
Architecte d?information, Community manager, Responsable de
communication web, R?dacteur web, Cyberdocumentaliste, Consultant(e) en
ergonomie multim?dia, Responsable de plan media, Sp?cialiste de
r?f?rencement et de web analytics?)

Responsable p?dagogique de la formation : Isma?l Timimi

Parcours PRISME

Le parcours Produits d?Information Sp?cialis?e et M?diation Electronique
vise ? former des professionnels de la veille informationnelle, de
l?ing?nierie documentaire et, plus g?n?ralement, de la gestion des
contenus num?riques. ? l?issue de la formation, les ?tudiants sont en
mesure de concevoir et r?aliser des produits et syst?mes d?information
r?pondant aux besoins exprim?s dans diff?rents contextes (entreprises,
collectivit?s territoriales, organismes publics?), et en particulier de
mettre en place un processus de veille adapt?. Ils peuvent ainsi
s?int?grer ais?ment dans les r?seaux de veille et les centres de
documentation existants, ou rejoindre les structures sp?cialis?es dans
la m?diation de l?information (courtiers, analystes, conseils?).

Responsable p?dagogique de la formation : St?phane Chaudiron

Parcours SCCD

Le parcours Soci?t?, Communication, Culture, Documentation propose une
formation ? la recherche ? par la recherche mais aussi en ?troite
connexion avec les terrains professionnels ? en Sciences de
l?Information et de la Communication. Il se donne ainsi pour objectif de
fournir aux ?tudiants les principaux balisages th?oriques et rep?res
conceptuels fondant le champ scientifique de cette discipline, de les
?clairer sur les probl?matiques de ce champ, de les amener ? bien
identifier et ma?triser les diff?rentes proc?dures m?thodologiques afin
qu?ils puissent mettre en ?uvre, par eux-m?mes, une d?marche de
recherche. En ce sens, il vise les m?tiers et fonctions li?es ?
l?analyse des enjeux et ? la recherche. Prenant appui sur les axes de
recherche d?velopp?s par GERIICO (analyse des m?dias et des pratiques
m?diatiques, approches culturelles, communication organisationnelle,
sciences de l?information et du document?), il est sp?cifique, dans la
r?gion et globalement dans la zone situ?e au nord de Paris, par la
pluralit? des approches qu?il propose pour analyser et concevoir des
dispositifs info-communicationnels. Le parcours SCCD peut conduire ? la
poursuite d??tudes en Sciences de l?Information et de la communication
pour les ?tudiants qui souhaitent continuer en doctorat et s?orienter
vers les m?tiers de la recherche. Le doctorat est accueilli au sein de
l?Ecole doctorale r?gionale en SHS.

                   Prague Stringology Conference 2014

               19th event of the Prague Stringology Club

                      http://www.stringology.org

                           Call for Papers

              Prague, Czech Republic, September 1-3, 2014

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

* New: indexed by Scopus and Thomson Reuters

PSC 2014 is the 19th event of the Prague Stringology Club. It is an
international conference focusing on stringology and related areas. It
is organized annually by the Prague Stringology Club, a research group
in the Department of Theoretical Computer Science at the Faculty of
Information Technology of Czech Technical University in Prague. The
proceedings of recent conferences are indexed in Thomson Reuters, Scopus
and DBLP.



TOPICS:

Stringology is a part of algorithmic research that deals with the
processing of text strings. It has existed for at least thirty years and
developed into a respected subfield of its own. The last twenty years
have produced an explosion of new results. This progress is due in part
to the human genome effort, an area to which string algorithms make
important contributions. String processing extends into tree processing
that is called Arbology. The topics of the conference include but are
not limited to:

  * algorithms for pattern matching in strings, images and trees
  * data structures (automata, trees etc.) for pattern matching
    in strings, images and trees
  * coding and data compression
  * bioinformatics
  * information retrieval
  * string processing algorithms in databases
  * searching for regularities
  * natural language processing



INVITED TALK:

  * The Number of Distinct Squares Problem
    Frantisek Franek, McMaster University, Canada



SUBMISSION:

Authors are cordially invited to submit their full papers (PDF format,
up to 15 pages, A4 page format) by May 20, 2014. The paper should start
with the title, each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, and
a one-paragraph summary of the results and ideas. The paper should be
submitted via submission server
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=psc20140).

For their final version the papers are required to be prepared using the
LaTeX style available at http://www.stringology.org/pscproc2 which has
an interface compatible to the standard LNCS style.

HISTORY:

PSC 2014 was preceded by Prague Stringology Workshops in 1996-2000 and
by Prague Stringology Conferences in 2001-2006, 2008-2013. Each year
proceedings are prepared for the conference. They are published by Czech
Technical University in Prague and are also available from the PSC web
pages. Selected papers from the later workshops were also published in a
special issue of the journal Kybernetika. Selected papers from the
2002-2006, 2008 conferences were then published in the Nordic Journal of
Computing, Journal of Automata, Languages, and Combinatorics,
International Journal of Foundations in Computer Science, and Discrete
Applied Mathematics.



LOCATION & PUBLICATION:

PSC 2014 will be held at the Department of Theoretical Computer Science
the Czech Technical University in Prague on September 1-3, 2014.  (The
precise location will be announced later.) The working language is
English. As usual, accepted papers will appear in conference proceedings
published by the Czech Technical University in Prague and distributed at
the conference. After further refereeing, selected papers will then be
published in an international journal.

     27th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
               Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain

                             esslli2015.org


IMPORTANT DATES
===============

1 June 2014: Proposal submission deadline
23 September 2014: Notification
June 2015: Course material due

TOPICS AND FORMAT
=================

Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI'2015 are invited in all
areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computing Sciences.
Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged.

Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions,
offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week. Proposals for two-week
courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week
courses, e.g. as an introductory course followed by an advanced one.  In
such cases, the ESSLLI programme committee reserves the right to accept
just one of the two proposals.

All instructional and organizational work at ESSLLI is performed
completely on a voluntary basis, so as to keep participation fees to a
minimum. However, organizers and instructors have their registration
fees waved, and are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses up
to a level to be determined and communicated with the proposal
notification. ESSLLI can only guarantee reimbursement for at most one
course/workshop organizer, and can not guarantee full reimbursement of
travel costs for lecturers or organizers from outside of Europe. The
ESSLLI organizers would appreciate any help in controlling the School's
expenses by seeking complete coverage of travel and accommodation
expenses from other sources.

CATEGORIES
==========

Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories.

* FOUNDATIONAL COURSES *
Such courses are designed to present the basics of a research area, to
people with no prior knowledge in that area. They should be of
elementary level, without prerequisites in the course's topic, though
possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the relevant
discipline. They should enable researchers from related disciplines to
develop a level of comfort with the fundamental concepts and techniques
of the course's topic, thereby contributing to the interdisciplinary
nature of our research community.

* INTRODUCTORY COURSES *
Introductory courses are central to ESSLLI's mission. They are intended
to introduce a research field to students, young researchers, and other
non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its basic
methods and techniques. Such courses should enable researchers from
related disciplines to develop some comfort and competence in the topic
considered. Introductory courses in a cross-disciplinary area may
presuppose general knowledge of the related disciplines.

* ADVANCED COURSES *
Advanced courses are targeted primarily to graduate students who wish to
acquire a level of comfort and understanding in the current research of
a field.

* WORKSHOPS *
Workshops focus on specialized topics, usually of current interest.
Workshops organizers are responsible for soliciting papers and selecting
the workshop programme. They are also responsible for publishing
proceedings if they decide to have proceedings.

PROPOSAL GUIDELINES
===================

Course and workshop proposals should follow closely the following
guidelines to ensure full consideration.

Each course may have no more than two instructors, and each workshop no
more than two organizers. All instructors and organizers must possess a
PhD or equivalent degree by the submission deadline.

Course proposals should mention explicitly the intended course
category. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the
intended level, for example as it relates to standard textbooks and
monographs in the area. Proposals for advanced courses should specify
the prerequisites in detail.

Proposals must be submitted in PDF format via:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esslli2015

and include all of the following:

a. Personal information for each proposer: Name, affiliation, contact
   address, email, homepage (optional)

b. General proposal information: Title, category

c. Contents information:
     Abstract of up to 150 words
     Motivation and description (up to two pages)
     Tentative outline
     Expected level and prerequisites
     Appropriate references (e.g. textbooks, monographs, proceedings,
     surveys)

d. Practical information:
     Relevant preceding meetings and events, if applicable
     Potential external funding for participants

Proposition de th?se au laboratoire STL UMR8163 CNRS, Universit? Lille 3

Les m?decins et les patients sont deux des acteurs principaux impliqu?s
dans les relations m?dicales de soin. Leur communication et leur
compr?hension mutuelles couvrent donc un aspect d?autant plus important
que la r?ussite du processus de soins d?pend de la r?ussite de cette
interaction (McCray, 2005; Jucks & Bromme, 2007). La compr?hension joue
en effet un r?le important car elle permet aux patients de bien
comprendre leur diagnostic, de comprendre les traitements prescrits et
de suivre les instructions th?rapeutiques telles qu?indiqu?es par les
m?decins, mais aussi de prendre les d?cisions quant ? leur sant?, ce qui
est un aspect particuli?rement important dans le cadre de maladies
chroniques, o? les patients doivent apprendre ? g?rer par eux-m?mes la
maladie au quotidien. Pourtant, dans de nombreuses situations, les
patients ont du mal ? comprendre les diff?rentes ?tapes relatives par
exemple ? la bonne administration de m?dicaments (Patel et al., 2002), ?
bien comprendre les instructions que leur donnent un praticien ou une
?quipe m?dicale sur les m?dicaments, les consensus inform?s ou m?me les
brochures de sant? (Williams et al., 1995), et, de mani?re plus
g?n?rale, ? comprendre les informations pr?sentes dans les sites de
sant? sur la Toile (Berland et al., 2001; Tran et al., 2009). En effet,
la m?decine ?tant un domaine de sp?cialit?, relevant de l?acquisition
d?une culture savante, elle dispose de notions tr?s sp?cifiques et
souvent opaques pour les personnes non expertes de ce domaine, en
particulier les patients dont la ? comp?tence m?dicale ? (Boltanski,
1971) peut ?tre tr?s variable, en fonction aussi de l?environnement
socio-culturel de ceux-ci. L?objectif de la health literacy des patients
(Rudd, 2013), ou de la lisibilit? des ?crits m?dicaux, a justement pour
objectif de proposer des moyens de rem?dier ? cette situation et d?aider
les patients ? ?tre plus ? l?aise avec les informations m?dicales, voire
? renforcer leur comp?tence en mati?re d?agentivit? dans la relation de
soin.

Le sujet propos? vise ? contribuer aux travaux de health literacy et ?
l?analyse de la communication entre les patients et les m?decins. Ce
sujet pr?sente un caract?re transdisciplinaire car il se trouve ?
l?intersection entre plusieurs disciplines telles que la linguistique,
la philosophie, le traitement automatique de langues et la sant?.

La th?se sera effectu?e au sein du laboratoire STL (Savoirs, Textes,
Langage) UMR CNRS 8163 ? l'Universit? Lille 3.  C'est un laboratoire de
recherche multidisciplinaire r?unissant des chercheurs en linguistique,
philologie, philosophie et histoire des sciences. La force de la
recherche est consolid?e par la collaboration entre les disciplines
th?oriques et appliqu?e comme le Traitement Automatique de
Langues. Depuis plusieurs ann?es, STL est impliqu? dans les projets li?s
au domaine biom?dical et ? l'?thique m?dicale.

Ch?rEs coll?gues,

Nous avons le plaisir de vous convier ? la premi?re ?dition des
DOCTorIales de LINGuistique organis?e par le laboratoire Savoirs,
Textes, Langage (STL) UMR 8163 (CNRS, Lille 3 & Lille 1).

Cette premi?re ?dition aura lieu jeudi 12 juin 2014 ? l?universit? Lille
3 (3 Rue du Barreau, 59650 Villeneuve-d?Ascq) salle B1 619.

Vous trouverez ci-dessous le programme de ces doctoriales.

En esp?rant vous y voir nombreux.

Bien ? vous,

Le comit? d'organisation : Edwige Dugas (edwige.dugas at univ-lille3.fr),
Aur?lie Merlo (aurelie at ergonotics.com) et Ornella Wandji

9h15-9h30	Ouverture de DOCTILING

9h30-10h00	Analyse automatique des verbes dans des corpus m?dicaux :
                enjeux th?oriques et appliqu?s, Ornella Wandji Tchami

Le domaine m?dical est qualifi? d?h?t?rog?ne parce qu'il rassemble des
acteurs, principalement les patients et les m?decins, ayant des niveaux
d?expertise diff?rents. Ces acteurs sont appel?s ? interagir bien que la
communication entre eux ne soit pas toujours facile et effective. En
effet, des ?tudes relevant de diff?rents domaines : m?decine,
informatique m?dical et Traitement automatique des Langues d?montrent
que les patients et/ou, plus largement, les profanes en mati?re de
connaissances m?dicales sont victimes de la complexit? des informations
mises ? leur disposition. Notre projet de recherche vise ? proposer une
m?thode automatique de d?tection des difficult?s de lecture dans des
textes m?dicaux fortement sp?cialis?s. En effet, ? partir d'une analyse
syntaxico-s?mantique des structures verbales dans des corpus m?dicaux,
bas?e sur la th?orie des cadres s?mantiques, notre objectif principal
est d'impl?menter un outil de simplification de textes m?dicaux, capable
d'identifier les emplois verbaux qui pourraient ?tre difficilement
compris et interpr?t?s par des lecteurs non experts en m?decine. L'outil
proposera ?ventuellement des structures verbales simplifi?es et adapt?es
aux niveaux de sp?cialisation des patients afin de faciliter
l'inter-compr?hension et la communication m?decins/patients.

10h00-10h30	La traduction de discours juridiques ? vocation
                internationale : Le cas des textes des Nations Unies,
                Hanaa Beldjerd

La premi?re partie constitue un survol des principales th?ories et
approches qui ont forg? la traductologie contemporaine. Il contient
aussi des r?flexions sur l??quivalence, et sur la traduction d?finie par
l??quivalence. De plus, ce chapitre, qui est plut?t descriptif, contient
un bref historique des Nations Unies en g?n?ral et une description
d?taill?e des textes dans le cadre des Nations Unies. La deuxi?me partie
aborde les principes th?oriques et pratiques de la traduction juridique,
notamment la traduction juridique ? vocation internationale.  Une partie
de ce chapitre est consacr?e aux fondements ?pist?mologiques de la
traduction juridique, c?est-?-dire aux principales difficult?s
inh?rentes ? la traduction de textes ? teneur juridique ? vocation
internationale. Il contient ?galement des r?flexions sur la formation du
traducteur pour les textes ? vocation internationale qui pr?parerait ce
dernier ? l?appr?hension du sens des textes, ? l?utilisation des divers
proc?d?s de traduction et ? la r?expression de ce sens en langue
d?arriv?e. La troisi?me partie est r?serv?e ? l?enqu?te par
questionnement concernant les strat?gies et les techniques de traduction
utilis?es dans le cadre des Nation Unies. De plus, les segments qui
composent les grilles concernant les textes dans le cadre des Nations
Unies. En effet, cette analyse porte sur les strat?gies adopt?es par les
traducteurs arabophones et sur l?orientation ainsi donn?e aux
traductions ? vocation internationale. Elle est pr?c?d?e d?un bref
rappel de la d?marche de recherche et de quelques pr?cisions
m?thodologiques.

10h30-11h00	Beat-like gestures use in different types of speech in
                American English, Mathilde Peyr?

The present study is on the use of beat-like gestures (any type of
rhythmic movement used to punctuate and reinforce speech) in different
types of speech in English. Several semantic studies have been conducted
on the relationship between speech and gesture (McNeill 1992, 2000,
Kendon 2004, Goldin-Meadow 2003), but few empiric studies (McClave 1991,
Loehr 2004) address the interaction between speech and beat-like
gestures. McClave and Loehr found that the rhythmic up and down
movements (called beats) tend to align with the nucleus of the
intonation units. Our paper presents a gestural analysis of 24 minutes
of video representing the four types of speech (formal speech, debate,
teaching and spontaneous conversation). Our hypothesis is whether
beat-like gestures are more numerous, larger, stronger and whether they
tend to align with stressed syllables more in more controlled
speech. The videos were imported and annotated in ELAN. The type of
gesture (beat, head movement, eyebrow movement), as well as the
amplitude and the strength of the movement were annotated. The results
show that gestures tend to be larger and stronger in more controlled
speech (formal speech, debate) and that there is a tendency for temporal
alignment between beat-like gestures and accented syllables.

Keywords: gesture, beats, multi-modality, English

11h15-11h45	Contrastive psycholinguistic study of the cognitive
impact of posture verbs, C?cile Douet

My work in cognitive linguistics sets out to evaluate the relation
between embodiment, thought and language, with particular attention to
posture verbs (?sit?, ?lie?, ?stand?). Typological research has shown
that languages differ substantially in the type of verbs they use to
express the location of locating entities in space. Some languages, like
English or French, use neutral verbs (?be?/??tre?), others like Dutch
must use one of the three posture verbs. One of the issues taken up in
the current project is to examine the effects of these differences on
non-linguistic behaviour. This issue lies at the heart of the question
of linguistic relativity that recently has been revived in both the
linguistic and the psychological literature. The methodology that
underlies the suggested research is experimental in nature and will be
structured in two different yet related task : the embodiment of meaning
(the link between image schemata and lexical meaning) and the linguistic
relativity hypothesis (the link between language variation and cognitive
variation). For both tasks, the research will apply and extend existing
experimental methods, from both linguistics and psychology, to a new
domain (posture verbs). For this talk I will focus on methodological
questions. Discussion and suggestions welcome!

11h45-12h15	Texture of Second Language English Discourse: Analysing
                Learners? Vocabulary Use, Amjed Bamatraf

In his analysis of the leaners? vocabulary use, the research attempts to
address some of the problems that learners face when they express
themselves in English. Based on part of the data collected, an
explanation of the types of errors and misuse of vocabulary is
presented. The explanation aims to illustrate that the definition of a
word does not give all the information that learners need in order to
use that word productively. Even when the meaning is exemplified in
sentences, it is doubtful whether these example sentences really help to
activate productive use of the word. Learners seem to know a number of
vocabulary items but they have many difficulties in using them
productively in acceptable natural language. To be able to use a word
appropriately and in a natural way, it is necessary for the learner not
only to have access to meaning but to have a control of a range of
information related to the word?s productive use. There is an attempt in
this PhD study, although rather limited in scope, to suggest vocabulary
teaching materials that will help to tackle the learner?s problem.

12h15-13h30	d?jeuner libre

13h30-14h00	Temps, espace et entit?s en italien et fran?ais L2,
                Simona Anastasio

Cette ?tude vise ? ?tudier l?expression de la temporalit?, de l?espace ?
en mouvement ? et de la r?f?rence aux entit?s, chez des apprenants
adultes d?butants et avanc?s (cf. Klein & Perdue, 1992) de l?italien et
du fran?ais langues secondes (L2), ayant comme langue maternelle (L1)
soit une autre langue romane (italien ou fran?ais) soit une langue
germanique (anglais). Les informateurs en question apprennent la langue
cible en contexte h?t?roglotte et doivent accomplir deux t?ches
cognitivement complexes, un r?cit de fiction produit sur la base du
support Frog, where are you? (cf. Mayer, 1969) et le r?cit d?un dessin
anim? polonais muet Reksio (cf. Marzalek, 1967). Nous nous attendons ?
ce que les diff?rences translinguistiques se refl?tent dans la
production langagi?re en L2. Notre recherche vise n?anmoins ? mieux
comprendre l??tendue de cette influence, notamment si nos informateurs
arrivent ? ma?triser les moyens linguistiques relatifs ? l?encodage
r?f?rentiel du temps, de l?espace et des entit?s de fa?on appropri?e ?
la langue cible et la mani?re dont le syst?me conceptuel et linguistique
de leur L1 (cf. Slobin, 1991) influe sur les activit?s langagi?res en L2
en fonction du niveau atteint par l?apprenant.

14h00-14h30     La connaissance de la segmentation de la cha?ne parl?e
                peut-elle favoriser le d?veloppement de la compr?hension
                orale chez des apprenants d?butants de fran?ais langue
                ?trang?re ? Laetitia Batjom

Sujet de th?se : de l'influence d'une connaissance approfondie de la
segmentation de la cha?ne parl?e sur la perception des mots au sein d'un
discours authentique chez des apprenants de fran?ais langue
?trang?re. Il semble que l'une des grandes difficult?s de la
compr?hension en Fran?ais Langue ?trang?re soit la segmentation de la
cha?ne parl?e du fait des diff?rentes r?alisations des phon?mes selon
les contextes (Segui 1989, Frauenfelder 1991, dans Giacobbe 1994). Notre
th?se s'attache ? observer l'effet d'un travail renforc? au niveau
phon?tique et phonologique en d?but d'apprentissage et ses ?ventuels
b?n?fices sur le d?veloppement de la compr?hension orale (LeBlanc 1986,
Champagne-Muzar 1991, Lauret 2007). Avec cet objectif, nous allons
r?aliser un recueil de donn?es aupr?s d'?tudiants chinois d?butants en
fran?ais. Nous avons mis en place un dispositif d'enseignement afin de
travailler avec eux sur cinq ?l?ments sp?cifiques choisis du fait de
leur influence sur la r?alisation des mots ? l'oral: l'accent, la
formation de la syllabe, l'encha?nement, la liaison et le e instable.
Afin d'?tudier le d?veloppement de la compr?hension orale suite ? ce
travail, les apprenants seront test?s en d?but d'enseignement, ? la fin
du premier semestre et ? la fin du deuxi?me semestre gr?ce ? un test de
perception des mots au sein de la cha?ne parl?e.  C'est sur ce travail
de recueil de donn?es que nous esp?rons ?changer lors des Doctiling du
laboratoire STL.

14h30-15h00	La r?duplication en m?n??g?x?? du Dantila, Doucour?
                Salouma

Notre communication portera sur la r?duplication en m?n??g?x?? du
Dantila (S?n?gal). Toutefois, dans le cadre de cette pr?sentation, nous
n?aborderons pas tous les types de r?duplication attest?s dans cette
langue (r?duplication totale, r?duplication partielle). Nous nous
bornerons uniquement aux lex?mes verbaux r?dupliqu?s ins?cables. Ils
semblent d?pourvus, du moins en synchronie, de tout simplex
correspondant. Nous ne pouvons, en effet, identifier aucune base simple
pertinente dont la r?duplication pourrait rendre compte de leur
formation. D?ailleurs, m?me si nous r?ussissions ? en isoler, on serait
en pr?sence d?une totale absurdit? s?mantique entre l?unit? qui
tiendrait lieu de base simple et celle qui constituerait sa forme
r?dupliqu?e. Il n?y a donc, pour ces verbes r?dupliqu?s, copie du
mat?riel phonologique d?aucune base simple identifiable en synchronie
(cf. exemples sous 1-5) :

Quelques exemples illustratifs :
j?nj?n (j?nj??) (mais *j?n)
              Arroser, asperger, saupoudrer.
j?r?j?r? (mais *j?r?)
              Trembler, fr?mir, frissonner, remuer, trembloter.
m?or?im?or?i (mais *m?or?i) 
 	Prodiguer de d?licates et subtiles caresses avec les doigts,
        chatouiller.
y?r?x?y?r?x?  (mais *y?r?x?)
	Etre ou rendre quelque chose branlant, instable, mouvant,
        fragile, friable.
g?ng?n (g??g??) (mais * g?n ou *g?n)  
	Somnoler, dormir ? demi.  

15h00-15h15	pause

15h15-15h45	S?mantique des constructions [non-Adj] et [in-Adj] en
                fran?ais, Edwige Dugas

Il existe en fran?ais un certain nombre de ? doublons ? dans lesquels un
m?me adjectif peut ?tre pr?c?d? de in- ou de non-, p. ex. non
humain/inhumain, non constructible/inconstructible, non
occup?/inoccup?. Bien que ces constructions aient en commun un sens
n?gatif, il a ?t? soulign? ? de nombreuses reprises (Jespersen, 1917 ;
Zimmer, 1964 ; Kalik, 1971 ; Gaatone, 1971 ; Gaatone, 1987 ; Di Sicullo
et Tremblay, 1996 ; Apoth?loz, 2003 ; Buchi, 2007 ; Dal et al., 2007)
qu?? base adjectivale identique, les [non-Adj] et les [in-Adj] sont
rarement ?quivalents. Je laisserai de c?t? dans cette intervention les
diff?rentes propri?t?s syntaxiques des [non-Adj] et des [in-Adj]
(cf. Dugas, 2013) et me concentrerai sur l?interpr?tation s?mantique de
ces constructions. Je me pencherai tout d?abord sur les propositions
faites dans la litt?rature, et notamment sur les notions de
contrari?t?/contradiction, gradable/non gradable, qualifiant/classifiant
mobilis?es ? juste titre pour rendre compte de ces constructions
n?gatives. Je m?appuierai ensuite sur un corpus de formes attest?es
issues du Tr?sor de la Langue Fran?aise informatis?, de Frantext et de
la presse en ligne afin de donner plus de poids ? ces hypoth?ses et de
montrer que les [non-Adj] et les [in-Adj] expriment chacun un type
particulier de n?gation. 

15h45-16h15	Humorous implications and meanings: a multi-modal study
                of sarcasm in interactional humor, Sabina Tabacaru

According to Bergen and Binstead (2001), humor is ?the least understood
of our cognitive capacities?, and since humor abuses inferences through
linguistic imagery, it should be cognitive oriented. My research project
aims at defining the relationship between humor and the human mind, as
already pointed out in Cognitive Linguistics (Vandaele 2002; Feyaerts
2004; Veale et al. 2006; Ritchie 2006; Br?ne 2008; Br?ne and Feyaerts
2003), and focuses on underlining the importance of addressing humor
(and particularly, sarcasm) from a multi-modal perspective. More
specifically, I present raised eyebrows as ?gestural triggers? in
sarcasm because they mark the switch of the utterance to a humorous
interpretation and they contribute to meaning construction in sarcastic
utterances. I base my results on a large corpus of examples annotated
using ELAN which allows a more fine-grained analysis of the data. Based
on these results, the discussion zooms in on the different linguistic
mechanisms used to create sarcastic utterances. These sarcastic
utterances are analyzed against the background of Clark?s (1996)
layering model and Fauconnier?s (1984, 1994) mental space theory to show
how the human mind creates and understands the rich implications and
meanings in sarcasm. Keywords: humor; sarcasm; cognitive linguistics;
raised eyebrows; gestural trigger.

16h15-16h45 Production et perception de la prosodie de l'anglais par des
apprenants francophones : pre?sentation d'une e?tude expe?rimentale en
cours, Marc Capliez

De plus en plus de chercheurs mettent en avant l'importance de la
prosodie des langues, en comparaison avec les consonnes et voyelles, ou
? segments ? (Hahn 2004, Horgues 2010). Certaines e?tudes montrent qu'un
enseignement centre? sur la prosodie a un impact plus fort sur les
capacite?s de production orale d'apprenants non-natifs qu'une
focalisation sur les sons individuels (Derwing, Munro & Wiebe
1998). Ne?anmoins, aucune e?tude n'a e?te? re?alise?e sur des francophones
apprenant l'anglais comme langue e?trange?re.

Pour cette communication, une expe?rience pre?liminaire comparant deux
groupes de francophones se focalisant chacun sur un aspect de la
phonologie anglaise ? segments vs prosodie ? sera e?voque?e. Apre?s avoir
suivi soit un cours sur la prosodie, soit sur les segments, des
enregistrements des deux groupes d'apprenants avaient e?te? soumis a? des
locuteurs natifs. Lors d'e?valuations subjectives, ceux-ci avaient
attribue? un score a? chaque production orale. Contrairement a? notre
hypothe?se, c'est chez le groupe s'e?tant concentre? sur les segments que
l'on a observe? une plus forte ame?lioration. Cependant, cette e?tude
pilote comportait diverses limites qui ont e?te? conside?re?es. Ainsi, le
de?roulement et les premiers re?sultats d'une nouvelle e?tude, a? plus
grande e?chelle et impliquant a? la fois la production et la perception de
l'anglais par des francophones, seront pre?sente?s.

COLDOC is the annual conference organized by PhD students and junior
researchers in Linguistics from MoDyCo Laboratory (UMR 7114 ? CNRS/Paris
Ouest Nanterre University/Paris Descartes University).

This year, we will be focusing on the diversity of languages and of
their uses. The observation of interlingual variations emphasizes the
specificities of both languages and their uses on various levels
(pragmatics, semantics, syntax, phonology) thus questioning linguistic
universals which ambition is to describe the universal faculty of
language.

What happens when the linguistic universals theory is confronted to the
practical use of languages?

This call for contributions is purposely open as it aims at exchanging
ideas from different points of view on issues that are highly
multidisciplinary. Master and PhD students, as well as junior
researchers, are very much welcome to participate and to present their
ideas on this topic based on their own practice, regardless of the
current state of the progress of their research.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 25th May 2014 

Submissions should be made via EasyChair
(https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?key=12114162.21OmEwc9k48RumBI)

 2nd CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - NLDB'2014

 19th International Conference on Application of Natural Language to 
 Information Systems

 18-20 June 2014 - Montpellier, France

 http://www.nldb.org/

 Registration: 
 http://www.lirmm.fr/~mroche/NLDB2014/Web/conf_registration.html

 ==============

 Since 1995, the NLDB conference aims at bringing together researcher,
 industrials and potential users interested in various application of
 Natural Language in the Database and Information Systems field. The
 integration of databases and natural language has been an utopia for
 many years. However, progress has been made and this is now an
 established field thanks to developments in Natural Language and
 technologies that made the storage and manipulation of large electronic
 dictionaries possible. As Information Systems are now evolving into the
 communication area, the term databases should be considered in the
 broader sense of information and communication systems. The use of
 Natural Language in Software Engineering has contributed to both
 improving the development process from the viewpoints of developers
 (improve the process of conceptual modeling, validation, etc) and the
 usability of applications by users (natural language query interfaces,
 semantic webs, etc).

 NLDB'2014 will take place in Montpellier (France). The conference
 invites researchers from academia and industry to submit papers for
 oral or poster presentations on recent, unpublished research that
 addresses theoretical aspects, algorithms, applications, architectures
 for applied and integrated NLP, resources for applied NLP, and other
 aspects of NLP, as well as review and discussion papers.

 Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

 - Applications of NLP in Information Systems: Multilingual Information
   Systems, NLP in Requirement Engineering, NLP in Knowledge Management,
   Semantic Data Integration and Data Cleaning

 - Social Media and Web Data: Corpus analysis, Language identification,
   Text normalization, Robust NLP for social media, Text classification,
   Information Extraction and Sentiment Analysis for social media

 - Big Data and Natural Language

 - Semantic Web Open Linked Data: Ontology Learning and Alignment,
   Populating ontologies, Querying Ontologies and linked data, Semantic
   tagging and classification, Ontology-driven NLP

 - Question Answering (QA): NL interfaces to databases, QA using web
   data, multi-lingual QA, Non-factoid QA (how/why/opinion questions,
   lists), geographical QA, QA corpora and training sets

 - Natural language and Ubiquitous Computing: Pervasive Computing,
   Embedded, Robotic and Mobile Applications.

 - Natural Language in Conceptual Modeling: Analysis of Natural Language
   Descriptions, Terminological Ontologies, Consistency Checking,
   Metadata Creation and Harvesting, Ontology-driven Systems
   Integration, Ontology Management

 - NLP Applications: Business Intelligence, Subjectivity and Sentiment
   Analysis, QA systems, Event Detection, Named Entity and Event
   Detection, Information Extraction, Summarization, NLP for Data
   Mining, NLP for Data Warehouses, Plagiarism detection, Identity
   detection

CALL FOR PAPERS: TIME AND INFORMATION RETRIEVAL

A special issue of Information Processing and Management
http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~leon/time_and_ir_ipm.html

We invite submissions for a special issue of Information Processing and
Management on Time and Information Retrieval.

===== Motivation =====

With the rapid growth of digitised document resources, both on and off
the web, and increased variety in types of document collections, future
search systems will face growing difficulties in providing reliable,
useful, and timely results. The web already archives a lot of content;
organizing and searching by time will only become more critical as we
move forward.

This issue aims to explore opportunities and novel research on the
intersection of time and information retrieval. Unlike existing work
that focuses exclusively on the interesting problems related to adding
time to established methods of information retrieval (such as, e.g., how
to incorporate temporal relevance in ranking of retrieved results), we
aim to stimulate discussion on new or powerful uses of temporality in
all kinds of information systems.

===== Scope & Topics of Interest =====

We are particularly interested in work that describes novel advances on
the intersection of temporality and IR. For example, work that goes
deeper than metadata-level time (e.g. document creation timestamp), or
that does temporal analysis of document collections for, e.g., event
identification, tracking and prediction, or that works on temporal-based
relevancy.

We especially welcome papers on the following topics:

* Time as a dimension of relevance
	- Time-aware ranking models
	- Opinion tracking
	- Media temporal similarity (e.g. text, video)
	- Longitudinal analysis
	- Document and sub-document timestamping
* Time as context
	- Time-sensitive search
	- Searching for temporal bounds
	- Future Information Retrieval
* Time as a query topic
	- Event-oriented Search
	- Temporal web image and video retrieval
	- Temporal clustering
	- Collective memory and web archiving
	- Cross-temporal information retrieval
* General issues
	- In-document temporality
	- Temporal query understanding
	- Temporal indexing
	- Evaluation metrics for temporal IR

===== Important dates =====

CFP: April 3, 2014
Manuscript due date: September 8th 2014
Acceptance Notification Date: December 2nd 2014
Final Manuscript Due Date: Jan 30th, 2015 (for all revisions)
Publication date: Spring 2015

Substantial, creative, articles are welcomed, according to the journal
format. After submission, we envisage a smooth and on-time progression
through review and toward publication of this special issue.

Contributions must not have been previously published or be under
consideration for publication elsewhere, although substantial extensions
of conference or workshop papers will be considered. All submissions
should be prepared according to the Guide for Authors at
http://www.elsevier.com/journals/information-processing-and-management/0306-4573/guide-for-authors. 
Submissions should be made through EES at
http://ees.elsevier.com/ipm/default.asp

===== Guest Editors =====

Leon Derczynski, University of Sheffield 
Jannik Str?tgen, Heidelberg University
Ricardo Campos, Polytechnic Institute of Tomar / LIAAD-INESC TEC
Omar Alonso, Microsoft Corporation

Primary contact: leon at dcs.shef.ac.uk

Posting of author accepted manuscripts IS PERMITTED on author websites,
uploaded to arXiv, etc., as stated in the publisher?s open access
policies. See also:

Toulouse in the South West of France is the fourth largest city of
France and a lively university center. Toulouse offers numerous
inexpensive accommodations, including student residences.

The participants are on their own in finding accommodation. There is the
hotel list of the tourist office and a special list for residences. Of
course, there are other ways to find hotels in Toulouse. For scientists
on short visits to Toulouse (e.g., for juries or project meetings), we
typically choose friendly two-star hotels.

LACL 2014 is taking place at IRIT, Paul Sabatier University, close to
the "Universit? Paul Sabatier" station (metro line B). Hotels in the
city center are close to the metro (line B stations there:
Compans-Caffarelli, Jeanne d'Arc, Jean Jaures, Francois Verdier and
Carmes).

Fees (early registration):

330 euros (regular), 230 euros (student)

Late registration:

380 euros (regular),  280 euros (student)

Gala dinner: 60 euros.

Thank you again,
LACL 2014 Program Co-Chairs
Nicholas Asher and Sergei Soloviev

CALL FOR PAPERS

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, 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).

English version


COLDOC is the annual conference organized by PhD students and junior
researchers in Linguistics from MoDyCo Laboratory (UMR 7114 ? CNRS/Paris
Ouest Nanterre University/Paris Descartes University).

This year, we will be focusing on the diversity of languages and of
their uses. The observation of interlingual variations emphasizes the
specificities of both languages and their uses on various levels
(pragmatics, semantics, syntax, phonology) thus questioning linguistic
universals which ambition is to describe the universal faculty of
language.

What happens when the linguistic universals theory is confronted to the
practical use of languages?

This call for contributions is purposely open as it aims at exchanging
ideas from different points of view on issues that are highly
multidisciplinary. Master and PhD students, as well as junior
researchers, are very much welcome to participate and to present their
ideas on this topic based on their own practice, regardless of the
current state of the progress of their research.


SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 25th May 2014 *1st June 2014*

Submissions should be made via EasyChair
(https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?key=12114162.21OmEwc9k48RumBI).

Sujet de th?se : Structuration, navigation et recherche au sein de 
collections de documents

English below.

Laboratoire : IRISA, Rennes ; labex Comin'Labs. ?quipe texmex : 
www.irisa.fr/texmex

Dans beaucoup de domaines, l'exploitation des grandes quantit?s de 
documents num?riques reste un probl?me majeur. Dans ce contexte dit 'big 
data', une grande partie de l'information se pr?sente de mani?re 
informelle dans des textes. Le seul stockage informatique de ces 
documents ne permet pas d'acc?der facilement aux informations qu'ils 
contiennent, de les retrouver efficacement, de les mettre en regard les 
unes avec les autres, de les recouper en vue de les analyser.
Le projet LIMAH du labex Comin'Labs s'int?resse ? ses probl?matiques de
d?couverte d'information et de navigation dans des collections
multim?dias (journaux TV, blogs...) et c'est dans ce cadre que s'inscrit
ce sujet de th?se.

Il existe bien s?r des outils, comme les moteurs de recherche,
permettant d'interroger des archives textuelles. Cependant, ces outils
ont des limites qui les rendent inadapt?es comme outils de d?couverte de
connaissances.
D'une part, ils n?cessitent de l'utilisateur qu'il exprime clairement 
son besoin d'information quelle que soit sa complexit?. Ce point est 
souvent bloquant : un utilisateur sait souvent bien ce qu'il cherche 
sans pouvoir le formaliser correctement sous forme d'une requ?te 
textuelle unique.
D'autre part, les syst?mes existants consid?rent les documents 
ind?pendamment les uns des autres et ne permettent donc pas de prendre 
en compte les liens pouvant exister entre ces documents pour r?pondre ?
l'utilisateur.
Enfin, et cela est li? aux deux points pr?c?dents, ils ne permettent pas 
? l'utilisateur de naviguer dans la collection en se basant sur le 
contenu de ces documents et sur les diff?rents liens qu'ils peuvent 
entretenir.

Cette th?se a pour but de d?velopper de nouveaux cadres th?oriques et 
technologiques pour une exploitation intelligente des informations 
textuelles dans des collections de documents en se basant sur leurs
contenus. Au del? d'un simple moteur de recherche, le candidat devra 
d?velopper, impl?menter et ?valuer des techniques nouvelles permettant 
de d?couvrir des liens entre les documents textuels au sein d'une
collection, de les typer et de les exploiter pour la recherche et la 
navigation. Cette th?se s'inscrit donc dans les domaines de la recherche 
d'information (RI), du traitement automatique des langues (TAL) et de la 
fouille de donn?es.

Le travail de th?se s'effectuera dans le cadre d'un contrat ? dur?e 
d?termin?e de 3 ans, d?butant en septembre-octobre 2014.


Candidature

Le candidat devra ?tre issu d'un master en informatique ou d'une 
formation ?quivalente, avec un tr?s bon classement.
Il devra avoir suivi des cours en apprentissage artificiel et/ou fouille 
de donn?es, et des comp?tences en traitement automatique des langues 
seront appr?ci?es.

Les candidatures, par e-mail ? vincent.claveau at irisa.fr , devront 
comporter un CV, le relev? de notes du master avec une indication du 
classement, une lettre de motivation et le nom et les coordonn?es d'un 
professeur pouvant recommander le candidat.

============

PhD : Structuring, navigating and searching through collections of documents

Lab: IRISA, Rennes ; labex Comin'Labs. Team texmex : www.irisa.fr/texmex

In many domains, exploiting large amounts of digital documents is a 
major problem . In this so called 'big data' context, most of the 
information is contained as unformatted texts. Storing these documents 
does is not enough to easily acccess the information they contain, 
compare them...
The LIMAH project in the labex Comin'Labs interested in such issues of 
information discovery and navigation in multimedia collections (TV news, 
blogs ... ) and it is in this context that this PhD is proposed.

Of course there are tools such as search engines, for querying textual 
archives. However, these tools have limitations that make them 
unsuitable for knowledge discovery.
First,  they require the user to clearly express his information need 
regardless of its complexity. This point is often blocking: a user often 
knows what he wants without being able to properly formalize it.
Second, existing systems consider the documents independently of each 
other and therefore do not take into account the possible links between 
these documents.
Consequently, they do not allow the user to browse the collection based 
on the contents of these documents and on the many different links that 
they may share.

The goal of the PhD is to develop new theoretical and technological 
frameworks for intelligent use of textual information in document 
collections based on their content.
Beyond a simple search engine , the candidate will develop, implement 
and evaluate new techniques for discovering links between text documents 
in a collection, for characterizing these links and for exploiting them 
for searching and browsing. This thesis is concerned with information 
retrieval, Natural Language Processing and data mining .

The thesis work will be done under a fixed term contract of 3 years, 
starting in September-October 2014 .


Application

The candidate must belong a master degree in computer science with a 
very good ranking. He must have taken courses in machine learning and / 
or data mining, and skills in language processing will be appreciated.

Applications by e -mail to vincent.claveau at irisa.fr , should include a 
resume, grades and ranks in the master, a motivation letter and the 
names and contact details of a teacher that may recommend the candidate.

================================
LD4KD 2014
1st Workshop on Linked Data for Knowledge Discovery

http://events.kmi.open.ac.uk/ld4kd2014/

co-located with the European Conference on Machine Learning and
Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery 2014 (ECML/PKDD 2014)
15-19 September 2014, Nancy, France (http://www.ecmlpkdd2014.org/ )

================================

Linked Data have attracted a lot of attention in recent years in many
research areas, as their technologies and principles provide new ways to
overcome typical data management and consumption issues such as
reliability, heterogeneity, provenance or completeness. However, the way
in which Linked Data can be applicable and beneficial to the Knowledge
Discovery (KDD) pocess is still not completely understood. Many aspects
of KDD could benefit from Linked Data, e.g. mining Linked Data sources,
using Linked Data to enrich, represent or integrate local data for data
preparation, interpretation or visualisation.

LD4KD will be an interactive hub to explore the benefits of Linked Data
principles and technologies for Knowledge Discovery, together with
addressing the new challenges that will emerge from joining the two
fields. It will be an opportunity for practitioners of both fields to
create communication and collaboration channels,and bridge the gap
between their overlapping, but mostly isolated communities.

The workshop encourages the participation of researchers from the
Knowledge Discovery field to discuss and get informed about the use,
benefits and challenges of Linked Data, while th Linked Data researchers
can take advantage of and adapt Knowledge Discovery methods in their
domain.

*SCOPE*

We welcome high quality position and research papers in which (1) Linked
Data are used as support of Knowledge Discovery processes to extract
useful knowledge, or (2) Knowledge Discovery techniques are adapted to
work and possibly extend Linked Data.

Topics of either theoretical and applied interest include, but are not
limited to:

- Linked Data for data pre-processing: cleaning, sorting, filtering or
  enrichment
- Linked Data applied to Machine Learning
- Linked Data for pattern extraction and behaviour detection
- Linked Data for pattern interpretation, visualization or optimisation
- Reasoning with patterns and Linked Data
- Reasoning on and extracting knowledge from Linked Data
- Linked Data mining
- Links prediction or links discovery using KDD
- Graph mining in Linked Data
- Interacting with Linked Data for Knowledge Discovery

*IMPORTANT DATES*

Paper submission deadline: June 20th
Notification Of Acceptance: July 20th
Camera ready copies due: August 5th, 2014
Workshop date: September 15th/19th, 2014

-- FCA4AI (Third Edition) -- 
``What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?'' 
co-located with ECAI 2014, Prague, Czech Republic 
August 19 2014 
http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru 

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

General Information. 

The first and the second editions of the FCA4AI Workshop (ECAI 2012,
Montpellier and IJCAI 2013, Beijing) showed that many researchers
working in Artificial Intelligence are indeed interested by a powerful
method for classification and mining such as Formal Concept Analysis
(see http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-939/ and http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1058/). 
We have the chance to organize a new edition of the workshop in Prague
at the ECAI 2014 Conference.

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory
aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a
concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications) which can be
used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge processing involving learning,
knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology
engineering, and as well as information retrieval and text
processing. Thus, there exist many ``natural links'' between FCA and
AI. 

Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around
FCA, in particular a strand of work emerged that is aimed at extending
the possibilities of FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing, such as work on
pattern structures and relational context analysis. These extensions are
aimed at allowing FCA to deal with more complex than just binary data,
both from the data analysis and knowledge discovery point of view and
from the knowledge representation point of view, including, e.g.,
ontology engineering. All these works extend the capabilities of FCA and
offer new possibilities for AI activities in the framework of FCA.

Accordingly, in this workshop, we will be interested in two main issues:

- How can FCA support AI activities such as knowledge processing
  (knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning),
  learning (clustering, pattern and data mining), natural language
  processing, information retrieval.

- How can FCA be extended in order to help AI researchers to solve new
  and complex problems in their domain.

The workshop is dedicated to discuss such issues. 

TOPICS OF INTEREST include but are not limited to: 

- Concept lattices and related structures: description logics, pattern
  structures, relational structures. 
- Knowledge discovery and data mining with FCA: association rules,
  itemsets and data dependencies, attribute implications, data
  pre-processing, redundancy and dimensionality reduction,
  classification and clustering. 
- Knowledge engineering and ontology engineering: knowledge
  representation and reasoning. 
- Scalable algorithms for concept lattices and artificial intelligence
  ``in the large'' (distributed aspects, big data). 
- Applications of concept lattices: semantic web, information retrieval,
  visualization and navigation, pattern recognition.

The workshop will include time for audience discussion for having a
better understanding of the issues, challenges, and ideas being
presented.

IMPORTANT DATES: 

Submission deadline: May 30, 2014 
Notification to authors: June 23, 2014 
Final version: July 14, 2014 
Workshop: August 19, 2014 


SUBMISSION DETAILS: 

The workshop welcomes submissions in pdf format in Springer's LNCS
style. 
Submissions can be: 
- technical papers not exceeding 8 pages, 
- system descriptions or position papers on work in progress not 
  exceeding 4 pages 

Submissions are via EasyChair at 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fca4ai2014 (opening soon) 

The workshop proceedings will be published as CEUR proceedings. 
A selection of the best papers presented at the workshop will be
considered for a special issue of a high-level journal.

*Title*: In the context of natural language processing, doing "software
testing" is otherwise known as doing linguistics

*Abstract*: Software testing and quality assurance for natural language
processing has rarely been studied, despite the fact that natural
language processing applications present unique challenges for these
tasks.  Despite this lack of study, a fully-developed methodology is
available, known as field methods and coming from the field of
descriptive linguistics.  In this talk, I will present an application of
field methods to software testing in the biomedical text mining domain
and show how it can yield fine-grained insight into what an application
is good at and what it is bad at.

*Short bio*: Kevin Bretonnel Cohen leads the Biomedical Text Mining
Group in the Computational Bioscience Program at the University of
Colorado School of Medicine.  He is the chair of the Association for
Computational Linguistics special interest group on biomedical natural
language processing.  His research interests include computational
lexical semantics, ontologies, named entity recognition and
normalization, information extraction, corpus linguistics, information
retrieval, question answering, and software testing and quality
assurance for natural language processing applications.

============== SPMRL 2014 SHARED TASK ============== 
The first joint SPMRL-SANCL workshop (www.spmrl.org), collocated with
COLING 2014, hosts the second Shared Task on Parsing
Morphologically-Rich Languages.


===== Summary ===== 
Following the success of the first shared task, a second edition is
launched with this year an emphasis on the use of semi superivised
techniques. On top of treebanks data (phase structures and
dependencies), large annotated data set are made available.

Webpage: http://www.spmrl.org/spmrl2014-sharedtask.html
test submission deadline : July 21, 2014 
(test data release: July 14, 2014)

===== Introduction =====
The primary goal of the First Shared Task on Parsing
Morphologically-Rich Languages was to bring forward work on parsing
morphologically ambiguous input in both dependency and constituency
parsing, and to show the state of the art for MRLs. In the longer term,
we aim to provide streamlined data sets and evaluation metrics, thus
improving the comparability of cross linguistic work on parsing MRLs.

The 2014 Shared Task edition will explicitly allow and favor the use of
large unlabeled data set. In order to properly evaluate the improvement
brought by the use of semi-supervized models, all annotated data and
evaluation process will remain the same.

The shared task features tracks in constituency parsing and in
dependency parsing, in gold as well as in realistic scenarios (the
realistic scenario has no gold tokenization, no gold part-of-speech tags
and morphological features).

===== Data set ===== 
The participants will be provided with data from 9 different languages
(Arabic, Basque, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Korean, Polish,
Swedish). The data are available in Penn Treebank bracketing format,
CoNLL-X format and optionally in TiGerXML.
In order to ease cross-linguistic comparisons, the data set are also
released with a common training size setting (ie. 5000 sentences).

For all these treebanks, we provide unlabeled data set as well. To lower
the entry cost for new comers in the field, we also provide more than
accurate baseline, if not state-of-the-art, morpho-syntactic annotations
(POS tagged, morphological features, lemmas and multiword expressions if
available in the original treebank) and syntactic dependencies.


===== Shared Task Schedule ===== 
Release of training and dev. data                       May 26
Release of test data                                    July 14
Deadline for submission of test runs                    July 21

Last Call for Papers

Workshop on? Cognitive Aspects of the Lexicon (CogALex-IV)
together with a shared task addressing the ?lexical access-problem?

Pre-conference workshop at COLING 2014 (August 23d,2014)

Submission deadline: June 8, 2014

Invited speaker : Roberto Navigli (Sapienza University of Rome)

http://pageperso.lif.univ-mrs.fr/~michael.zock/CogALex-IV/cogalex-webpage/index.html


GOAL

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers involved in the
construction and application of electronic dictionaries to discuss
modifications of existing resources in line with the users' needs,
thereby fully exploiting the advantages of the digital form. Given the
breadth of the questions, we welcome reports on work from many
perspectives, including but not limited to: computational lexicography,
psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, language learning and
ergonomics.

MOTIVATION

The way we look at dictionaries (their creation and use) has changed
dramatically over the past 30 years. While being considered as an
appendix to grammar in the past, by now they have moved to centre
stage. Indeed, there is hardly any task in NLP which can be conducted
without them. Also, rather than being static entities (data-base view),
dictionaries are now viewed as dynamic networks, i.e. graphs, whose
nodes and links (connection strengths) may change over
time. Interestingly, properties concerning topology, clustering and
evolution known from other disciplines (society, economy, human brain)
also apply to dictionaries: everything is linked, hence accessible, and
everything is evolving. Given these similarities, one may wonder what we
can learn from these disciplines.

In this 4th edition of the CogALex workshop we therefore also invite
scientists working in these fields, with the goal to broaden the
picture, i.e. to gain a better understanding concerning the mental
lexicon and to integrate these findings into our dictionaries in order
to support navigation. Given recent advances in neurosciences, it
appears timely to seek inspiration from neuroscientists studying the
human brain. There is also a lot to be learned from other fields
studying graphs and networks, even if their object of study is something
else than language, for example biology, economy or society.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

This workshop is about possible enhancements of lexical resources and
electronic dictionaries. To perform the groundwork for the next
generation of such resources we invite researchers involved in the
building of such tools.  The idea is to discuss modifications of
existing resources by taking the users? needs and knowledge states into
account, and to capitalize on the advantages of the digital media. For
this workshop we solicit papers including but not limited to the
following topics, each of which can be considered from various points of
view: linguistics, neuro- or psycholinguistics (tip of the tongue
problem, associations), network related sciences (sociology, economy,
biology), mathematics (vector-based approaches, graph theory,
small-world problem), etc.

1) Analysis of the conceptual input of a dictionary user

* What does a language producer start from (bag of words)?
* What is in the authors' minds when they are generating a message and
  looking for a word?
* What does it take to bridge the gap between this input and the desired
  output (target word)?

2) The meaning of words

* Lexical representation (holistic, decomposed)
* Meaning representation (concept based, primitives)
* Revelation of hidden information (distributional semantics, latent
  semantics, vector-based approaches: LSA/HAL)
* Neural models, neurosemantics, neurocomputational theories of content
  representation.

3) Structure of the lexicon

* Discovering structures in the lexicon: formal and semantic point of
  view (clustering, topical structure)
* Creative ways of getting access to and using word associations
  (reading between the lines, subliminal communication);
* Evolution, i.e. dynamic aspects of the lexicon (changes of weights)
* Neural models of the mental lexicon (distribution of information
  concerning words, organisation of words)

4) Methods for crafting dictionaries or indexes

* Manual, automatic or collaborative building of dictionaries and
  indexes (crowd-sourcing, serious games, etc.)
* Impact and use of social networks (Facebook, Twitter) for building
  dictionaries, for organizing and indexing the data (clustering of
  words), and for allowing to track navigational strategies, etc.
* (Semi-) automatic induction of the link type (e.g. synonym, hypernym,
  meronym, association, collocation, ...)
* Use of corpora and patterns (data-mining) for getting access to words,
  their uses, combinations and associations

5) Dictionary access (navigation and search strategies, interface issues,...)

* Search based on sound, meaning or associations
* Search (simple query vs multiple words)
* Context-dependent search (modification of users? goals during search)
* Recovery
* Navigation (frequent navigational patterns or search strategies used
  by people)
* Interface problems, data-visualisation

6) Dictionary applications

* Methods supporting vocabulary learning (for example, creation of
  data-bases showing words in various contexts)
* Tools for supporting Human translation

IMPORTANT DATES

* Deadline for paper submissions: May 25, 2014
* Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2014
* Camera-ready papers due : July 7, 2014
* Worskhop date: August 23, 2014

SHARED TASK ON THE LEXICAL ACCESS PROBLEM (COMPUTING ASSOCIATIONS WHEN
GIVEN MULTIPLE STIMULI)

In the framework of the 4th Workshop on Cognitive Aspects of the Lexicon
(CogALex) to be held at COLING 2014, we invite participation in a shared
task devoted to the problem of lexical access in language production,
with the aim of providing a quantitative comparison between different
systems.

MOTIVATION

The quality of a dictionary depends not only on coverage, but also on
the accessibility of the information. That is a crucial point is
dictionary access.  Access strategies vary with the task (text
understanding vs. text production) and the knowledge available at the
very moment of consultation (words, concepts, speech sounds). Unlike
readers who look for meanings, writers start from them, searching for
the corresponding words. While paper dictionaries are static, permitting
only limited strategies for accessing information, their electronic
counterparts promise dynamic, proactive search via multiple criteria
(meaning, sound, related words) and via diverse access
routes. Navigation takes place in a huge conceptual lexical space, and
the results are displayable in a multitude of forms (e.g. as trees, as
lists, as graphs, or sorted alphabetically, by topic, by frequency).

To bring some structure into this multitude of possibilities, the shared
task will concentrate on a crucial subtask, namely multiword
association.? What we mean by this in the context of this workshop is
the following. Suppose, we were looking for a word expressing the
following ideas: 'superior dark coffee made of beans from Arabia', but
could not remember the intended word 'mocha' due to the
tip-of-the-tongue problem. Since people always remember something
concerning the elusive word, it would be nice to have a system accepting
this kind of input, to propose then a number of candidates for the
target word.  Given the above example, we might enter 'dark', 'coffee',
'beans', and 'Arabia', and the system would be supposed to come up with
one or several associated words such as 'mocha', 'espresso', or
'cappuccino'.

TASK DEFINITION

The participants will receive lists of five given words (primes) such as
'circus', 'funny', 'nose', 'fool', and 'fun' and are supposed to compute
the word which is most closely associated to all of them. In this case,
the word 'clown' would be the expected response. Here are some more
examples:

 given words: gin, drink, scotch, bottle, soda
 target word: whisky

 given words: wheel, driver, bus, drive, lorry
 target word: car

 given words: neck, animal, zoo, long, tall
 target word: giraffe

 given words: holiday, work, sun, summer, abroad
 target word: vacation

 given words: home, garden, door, boat, chimney
 target word: house

 given words: blue, cloud, stars, night, high
 target word: sky

We will provide a training set of 2000 sets of five input words
(multiword stimuli), together with the expected target words
(associative responses). The participants will have about five weeks to
train their systems on this data.  After the training phase, we will
release a test set containing another 2000 sets of five input words, but
without providing the expected target words.

Participants will have five days to run their systems on the test data,
thereby predicting the target words. For each system, we will compare
the results to the expected target words and compute an accuracy. The
participants will be invited to submit a paper describing their approach
and their results.

For the participating systems, we will distinguish two categories:

(1) Unrestricted systems. They can use any kind of data to compute their
    results.

(2) Restricted systems: These systems are only allowed to draw on the
    freely available ukWaC corpus in order to extract information on
    word associations.  The ukWaC corpus comprises about 2 billion words
    and is can be downloaded from
    http://wacky.sslmit.unibo.it/doku.php?id=corpora.

Participants are allowed to compete in either category or in both.

VENUE

The shared task will take place as part of the CogALex workshop which is
co-located with COLING 2014 (Dublin). The workshop date is August 23,
2014.  Shared task participants who wish to have a paper published in
the workshop proceedings will be required to present their work at the
workshop.

                  CALL FOR PAPERS

     Workshop on Interactions between Data Mining
             and Natural Language Processing
                   (DMNLP'2014)

              ECML/PKDD 2014 Workshop

                September 15, 2014
                  Nancy, France

********************************************************

------
SCOPE
------

On the one hand, in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP),
numerical Machine Learning methods (e.g., SVM, CRF) have been
intensively explored and applied. Despite the good results obtained by
the numerical methods, one major drawback is that they do not provide a
human readable model. A promising direction is the integration of
symbolic knowledge.

On the other hand, research in Data Mining has progressed significantly
in the last decades, through the development of advanced algorithms and
techniques to extract knowledge from data in different forms. In
particular, for two decades Pattern Mining has been one of the most
active field in Knowledge Discovery.

Recently, a new field has emerged taking benefit of both domains: Data
Mining and NLP. The objective of DMNLP is thus to provide a forum to
discuss how Data Mining can be interesting for NLP tasks, providing
symbolic knowledge, but also how NLP can enhance data mining approaches
by providing richer and/or more complex information to mine and by
integrating linguistics knowledge directly in the mining process.

The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both communities
in order to stimulate discussions about the cross-fertilization of those
two research fields. The idea of this workshop is to discuss future
directions and new challenges emerging from the cross-fertilization of
Data Mining and NLP and in the same time initiate collaborations between
researchers of both communities.

---------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------

The workshop promotes works where the two following dimensions are
combined in one as symbiosis. The first dimension is Data Mining, for
instance Pattern Mining (itemsets, sequences, trees, graphs, association
rules), classification (decision trees, FCA,...), inductive logic
programming. The second dimension is NLP, for example question/answering
systems, translation, information extraction, linguistic analysis
(lexical analysis, terminology, syntax, semantics, discourse,
stylistics), classification, knowledge extraction/ontology building from
texts, information retrieval, corpus annotation, social/opinion mining.

A list of non-exhaustive topics that fit the scope of the workshop is
thus:

- Pattern discovery for NLP
- Constraint-based pattern mining in text
- Data mining query languages for expressing NLP tasks
- Data representation (sequence, tree, graphs) for NLP
- Modelization of text for data mining
- Relationships between data mining and NLP
- Modeling and visualizing data mining results on text
- Integrating NLP characteristics in data mining
- Data mining approaches for linguistic knowledge building
- Knowledge discovery for linguistic analysis (e.g. stylistic,
  socio-linguistics,?)
- Linguistically-informed text representations for Data Mining


------------------
SUBMISSION FORMAT
------------------

Our main goal is to stimulate discussions, collaborations and the
sharing of experiences.
In that respect, we would have three submission types:

* unpublished works (max 16 pages, double submissions allowed)
* short papers and vision statements (max 8 pages)
* recently published works (special oral-only track, no page limits)

5th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity, Sentiment and 
Social Media Analysis (WASSA 2014) - http://optima.jrc.it/wassa2014/
************************************************************************
Held in conjunction to ACL 2014, on June 27, 2014, in Baltimore 
(Maryland), USA
************************************************************************
Endorsed by SIGSEM and SIGNLL
*******************************************************



*******************************************************
BACKGROUND
*******************************************************

Research in automatic Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis (SSA), as
subtasks of Affective Computing and Natural Language Processing (NLP),
has flourished in the past years. The growth in interest in these tasks
was motivated by the birth and rapid expansion of the Social Web that
made it possible for people all over the world to share, comment or
consult content on any given topic. In this context, opinions,
sentiments and emotions expressed in Social Media texts have been shown
to have a high influence on the social and economic behaviour worldwide.
SSA systems are highly relevant to many real-world applications (e.g.
marketing, eGovernance, business intelligent, social analysis) and also
to many tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP) ? information
extraction, question answering, textual entailment, to name just a few.
The importance of this field has been proven by the high number of
approaches proposed in research in the past decade, as well as by the
interest that it raised from other disciplines (Economics, Sociology,
Psychology) and the applications that were created using its technology.
In spite of the growing body of research in the area in the past years,
dealing with affective phenomena in text has proven to be a complex,
interdisciplinary problem that remains far from being solved. Its
challenges include the need to address the issue from different
perspectives and at different levels, depending on the characteristics
of the textual genre, the language(s) treated and the final application
for which the analysis is done.

*******************************************************
ENVISAGED SCOPE OF WASSA 2014
*******************************************************

The aim of the 5th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity,
Sentiment and Social Media Analysis (WASSA 2014) is to continue the line
of the previous editions, bringing together researchers in Computational
Linguistics working on Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis and
researchers working on interdisciplinary aspects of affect computation
from text. Additionally, starting with WASSA 2013, we extended the focus
to Social Media phenomena and the impact of affect-related phenomena in
this context. In this new proposed edition, we would like to encourage
the submission of long and short research and demo papers including, but
not restricted to the following topics related to subjectivity and
sentiment analysis:

- Resources for subjectivity, sentiment and social media analysis;
  (semi-)automatic corpora generation and annotation
- Opinion retrieval, extraction, categorization, aggregation and
  summarization
- Trend detection in social media using subjectivity and sentiment
  analysis techniques
- Data linking through social networks based on affect-related NLP
  methods
- Impact of affective data from social media
- Mass opinion estimation based on NLP and statistical models
- Online reputation management
- Topic and sentiment studies and applications of topic-sentiment
  analysis
- Domain, topic and genre dependency of sentiment analysis
- Ambiguity issues and word sense disambiguation of subjective language
- Pragmatic analysis of the opinion mining task
- Use of Semantic Web technologies for subjectivity and sentiment
  analysis
- Improvement of NLP tasks using subjectivity and/or sentiment analysis
- Intrinsic and extrinsic evaluations subjectivity and sentiment
  analysis
- Subjectivity, sentiment and emotion detection in social networks
- Classification of stance in dialogues
- Applications of sentiment and social media analysis systems

CALL FOR PAPERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------


EKAW 2014: Diversity in a Heterogeneous World

19th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge
Management (EKAW 2014). November 24-28, 2014, Link?ping, Sweden.

http://www.ida.liu.se/conferences/EKAW14

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

The 19th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge
Management is concerned with all aspects of eliciting, acquiring,
modeling and managing knowledge, and its role in the construction of
knowledge-intensive systems and services for the Semantic Web, knowledge
management, e-business, natural language processing, intelligent
information integration, personal digital assistance systems, and so
forth.

The special focus of this year's EKAW will be on diversity. In the
recent past the amount and ease of availability of data has dramatically
increased. While scale and complexity of information has always
attracted attention, its heterogeneity in nature and usage are only now
being investigated more systematically. Data-driven research is gaining
increasing visibility in areas such as in eScience or eHumanities, but
such distinct fields require diverse knowledge management and
acquisition methods. Knowledge in the Cultural Heritage domain radically
differs from what is required to run a global company or support
projects in the developing world. The geosciences produce and consume
data spanning a wide range of formats, topics, perspectives, and
sources, and require the integration of such heterogeneous data to
foster data sharing, access, retrieval, and reuse, without restricting
semantic heterogeneity. EKAW 2014 will put a special emphasis on this
diversity of knowledge and its usage.

In addition to the main research track, EKAW 2014 will feature a
Tutorial and Workshop Program, as well as a Poster and Demo Track.
Moreover, there will be a Doctoral Consortium giving new PhD students a
possibility to present their research proposals, and to get feedback on
methodological and practical aspects of their planned dissertation.

The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer Verlag
in the LNCS series.

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

EKAW 2014 welcomes papers dealing with theoretical, methodological,
experimental, and application-oriented aspects of knowledge engineering
and knowledge management. In particular, but not exclusively, we solicit
papers about methods, tools, methodologies and application case studies
relevant with regard to the following topics:

1) "Knowledge in a diverse world"

Methods and methodologies addressing the challenges of diversity, such
as:

Semantic heterogeneity
- Semantic interoperability
- Scalability, robustness, etc.
- Multi-perspective data
- Semantic mediation
- Ontology and vocabulary matching and alignment
- Data-driven ontology engineering
- Privacy and data security
- Data reuse
- Maintenance costs and financial risks

Lessons learned from case studies, e.g.:
- Knowledge management in large organizations
- Adoption of semantic web technologies
- Maintenance of corporate knowledge repositories
- Applications in domains such as
- eGovernment and public administration
- Life sciences, health and medicine
- Humanities and Social Sciences
- Automotive and manufacturing industry
- Cultural heritage
- Digital libraries
- Geosciences
- Knowledge in the developing world (ICT4D)

2) Knowledge Management

- Methodologies and tools for knowledge management
- Knowledge sharing and distribution, collaboration
- Best practices and lessons learned from case studies
- Provenance and trust in knowledge management
- Methods for accelerating take-up of knowledge management technologies
- Corporate memories for knowledge management
- Evolution, maintenance and preservation of knowledge
- Web 2.0 technologies for knowledge management
- Incentives for human knowledge acquisition (e.g., games with a
  purpose)

3) Knowledge Engineering and Acquisition

- Tools and methodologies for ontology engineering
- Ontology design patterns
- Ontology localization
- Ontology alignment
- Knowledge authoring and semantic annotation
- Knowledge acquisition from non-ontological resources (thesauri,
  folksonomies etc.)
- Semi-automatic knowledge acquisition, e.g., ontology learning
- Mining the Semantic Web and the Web of Data
- Ontology evaluation and metrics
- Uncertainty and vagueness in knowledge representation
- Dealing with dynamic, distributed and emerging knowledge

4) Social and Cognitive Aspects of Knowledge Representation

- Similarity and analogy-based reasoning
- Knowledge representation inspired by cognitive science
- Synergies between humans and machines
- Knowledge emerging from user interaction and networks
- Knowledge ecosystems
- Expert finding, e.g., by social network analysis
- Trust and privacy in knowledge representation
- Collaborative and social approaches to knowledge management and
  acquisition
- Crowdsourcing in knowledge management

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

We will accept different types of papers. The papers will all have the
same status and follow the same formatting guidelines in the proceedings
but will receive special treatment during the reviewing phase. In
particular, each paper type will be subject to own evaluation criteria.
The Programme Committee will also make sure that there is a reasonable
balance of the paper types accepted. At submission time the paper has to
be clearly identified as belonging to one of the following categories.

- Research papers: These are "standard" papers presenting a novel
  method, technique or analysis with appropriate empirical or other
  types of evaluation as a proof-of concept. The main evaluation
  criteria here will be originality, technical soundness and validation.

- In-use papers: Here we are expecting papers describing applications of
  knowledge management and engineering in real
  environments. Applications need to address a sufficiently interesting
  and challenging problem on real-world datasets, involving many users
  etc. The focus is less on the originality of the approach and more on
  presenting systems that solve a significant problem while addressing
  the particular challenges that come with the use of real-world
  data. Evaluations should involve a representative subset of the actual
  users of the system.

- Position papers: We invite researchers to also publish position papers
  which describe novel and innovative ideas. Position papers may also
  comprise an analysis of currently unsolved problems, or review these
  problems from a new perspective, in order contribute to a better
  understanding of these problems in the research community. We expect
  that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical
  assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a certain problem or
  explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, possibly
  corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments.

Submissions of research and in-use papers should be formatted according
to Springer Verlag LNCS guidelines, not exceed 15 pages, and uploaded
using Easychair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ekaw2014).
Position papers are required to have at most 5 pages in the same format.

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

Combined conference/journal (fast-track) submission:

In addition to the regular conference submission, we offer authors the
possibility to submit their work to a combined conference/journal
submission track. Papers submitted via this track will be published as
regular research paper in the EKAW 2014 Springer conference proceedings;
an extended version of the paper will be published as a full journal
paper at the Semantic Web journal (SWJ) by IOS Press.

The deadline and Easychair submission system for the combined submission
is the same as for the conference-only track. Authors interested in the
combined track should indicate this via the submission system.  Papers
submitted to the combined track will then undergo the regular (open and
transparent) SWJ review process with the following possible decisions:

* Rejected
* Accepted for the conference proceedings
* Accepted for the conference proceedings and invited for extended
  submission to the Semantic Web journal

Papers that are acceptable for both will be printed in the Springer
volume and authors will be asked to submit an extended version (at least
30-50% new content, e.g., full literature review, full evaluation,
proofs, additional results, additional case studies, implementation
details) within 6 weeks. This extended version will then undergo a
fast-track review process, i.e., we assume that the paper as such is
'acceptable' and the reviewers will focus on revisions. These revisions
could still be substantial and the final acceptance is based on their
authors' ability to address those revisions. Papers in the 'accepted for
the conference proceedings' category will be accepted to the EKAW
Springer proceedings.'

The organizers of EKAW 2014 are committed to an open and transparent
reviewing process. For this reason we encourage authors to submit their
paper as a combined conference/journal submission. Their submissions,
and the reviews, are then public, which fosters scientific discourse and
high quality reviewing.

Bonjour.

   La th?se "R?pondre ? des questions ? r?ponses multiples sur le Web" a
?t? soutenue le 22 mai 2014 au LIMSI.

Jury
Mme V?ronique Moriceau,  LIMSI-CNRS (co-encadrante)
Mme Anne Vilnat, LIMSI-CNRS (directrice de th?se)
Mme Marie-Francine Moens, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (rapporteure)
M. Patrice Bellot, LSIS - Aix-Marseille Universit? (rapporteur)
Mme Sophie Rosset, LIMSI - CNRS (examinatrice)
M. Thierry Baccino, LUTIN - Universit? Paris 8 (examinateur)

R?sum?

Les syst?mes de question-r?ponse renvoient une r?ponse pr?cise ? une
question formul?e en langue naturelle. Les syst?mes de question-r?ponse
actuels, ainsi que les campagnes d'?valuation les ?valuant, font en
g?n?ral l'hypoth?se qu'une seule r?ponse est attendue pour une question.
Or nous avons constat? que, souvent, ce n'?tait pas le cas, surtout
quand on cherche les r?ponses sur le Web et non dans une collection
finie de documents.

Nous nous sommes donc int?ress?s au traitement des questions attendant
plusieurs r?ponses ? travers un syst?me de question-r?ponse sur le Web
en fran?ais. Pour cela, nous avons d?velopp? le syst?me Citron capable
d'extraire des r?ponses multiples diff?rentes ? des questions factuelles
en domaine ouvert, ainsi que de rep?rer et d'extraire le crit?re variant
(date, lieu) source de la multiplicit? des r?ponses. Nous avons montr?
gr?ce ? notre ?tude de diff?rents corpus que les r?ponses ? de telles
questions se trouvaient souvent dans des tableaux ou des listes mais que
ces structures sont difficilement analysables automatiquement sans
pr?traitement. C'est pourquoi, nous avons ?galement d?velopp? l'outil
Kitten qui permet d'extraire le contenu des documents HTML sous forme de
texte et aussi de rep?rer, analyser et formater ces structures.

Enfin, nous avons r?alis? deux exp?riences avec des utilisateurs. La 
premi?re exp?rience ?valuait Citron et les ?tres humains sur la t?che 
d'extraction de r?ponse multiples : les r?sultats ont montr? que Citron 
?tait plus rapide que les ?tres humains et que l'?cart entre la qualit? 
des r?ponses de Citron et celle des utilisateurs ?tait raisonnable. La 
seconde exp?rience a ?valu? la satisfaction des utilisateurs concernant 
la pr?sentation de r?ponses multiples : les r?sultats ont montr? que les 
utilisateurs pr?f?raient la pr?sentation de Citron agr?geant les 
r?ponses et y ajoutant un crit?re variant (lorsqu'il existe) par rapport

Abstract

Question answering systems find and extract a precise answer to a
question posed in a natural language. Both current question-answering
systems and evaluation campaign often assume that only one single answer
is expected for a question. Our corpus studies show that this is rarely
the case, specially when searching answers from the Web compared to a
frozen collection of documents.

We therefore focus on questions expecting multiple correct answers from
the Web by creating the question-answering system Citron. Citron is
dedicated to extract multiple answers in open domain and identify the
shifting criteria (date, location) which is often the reason of this
answer multiplicity.

Our corpus studies show that the answers of this kind of question are
often used in structures such as tables and lists which cannot be
analysed without a suitable preprocessing. Consequently we created the
Kitten software for extracting text information from HTML documents and
also both identifying and formatting these structures.

We finally evaluate Citron through two experiments involving users. The
first experiment evaluates both Citron and human beings on the multiple
answers extraction: results show that Citron was faster than human and
that the quality difference between answers extracted by Citron and
human was reasonable. The second experiment evaluates user satisfaction
regarding the presentation of multiple answers: results show that users
have a preference for Citron presentation aggregating answers and adding
the shifting criteria (if it exists) over the presentation used by
evaluation campaign.


Cordialement.

Le Labex EFL ?Empirical foundations of linguistics? (Sorbonne Paris
Cit?) offre un contrat doctoral de 3 ans sur le th?me suivant:

Typologie quantitative des syst?mes de classes flexionnelles


EFL (http://www.labex-efl.org/?q=en) est un projet conjoint sur 10 ans
de 13 laboratoires appartenant ? 5 universit?s de la r?gion
parisienne. La personne recrut?e travaillera au sein de l'axe 2:
"Grammaire exp?rimentale", ? compter d'octobre 2014.

Les candidats devront justifier de qualifications en linguistique, en
informatique, ou dans ces deux domaines simultan?ment, au niveau master.

Les candidatures seront ?valu?es par un comit? d?experts interne au
projet. Le principal crit?re de choix sera le potentiel de recherche des
candidats, ?valu? ? partir du m?moire de master ou de documents
?quivalents, d?autres travaux acad?miques, et de la description du
projet. Les candidatures sont ? envoyer aux deux adresses ci-dessous, en
joignant :

- un CV ;
- le nom de deux r?f?rents (avec leur adresse courriel) ;
- les travaux ou publications pertinents.

La th?se de doctorat pourra ?tre ?crite en fran?ais ou en anglais. Elle
sera r?alis?e dans le cadre d?un sous-projet sur l??valuation
quantitative de la complexit? des syst?mes flexionnels, organis? par un
groupe de morphologues th?oriciens, de linguistes informaticiens et de
linguistes de terrain. Les t?ches du doctorant incluront l??valuation de
la pertinence de diverses approches (semi-)automatiques de
classification flexionnelle et l?application de ces approches ? des
ensembles de donn?es typologiquement diversifi?es. Il n?est pas attendu
de la part du candidat de comp?tences avanc?es en programmation, mais
une familiarit? minimale avec les langages de scripts sera
n?cessaire. Une connaissance des buts et des m?thodes de la morphologie
th?orique et de la typologie est indispensable. Une exp?rience de
travail sur des langues autres que romanes et germaniques serait un
plus.
