Call for Papers

The Fourth International Workshop on Systems and Frameworks for
Computational Morphology (SFCM 2015)

<http://sfcm.eu/sfcm2015/ <http://sfcm.eu/sfcm2015/>>

Workshop date: September 17–18, 2015

Location: University of Chicago Center in Paris, France

Submission deadline: March 27, 2015

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

The Workshop on Systems and Frameworks for Computational Morphology
(SFCM) brings together researchers and developers in the area of
computational morphology and morphological theory used in
computational systems.  The focus of SFCM are actual working systems,
frameworks based on linguistic principles, and means for providing
linguistically sound analysis and/or generation tools based on
well-defined linguistic categories.

The fourth edition of SFCM in 2015 will bring together communities
involved with the study of morphology.  SFCM 2015 will focus on
computational approaches to theoretical and descriptive morphology.
It will broaden the workshop's scope by addressing computational
linguists working on computational morphology, linguists from
theoretical morphology, and field linguists working on rich
morphological data using computational methods and tools.  We aim to
encourage discussion among researchers and developers from those
communities and to contribute to filling the gap between NLP and
linguistic communities around state-of-the-art approaches to
morphology, be it computational, quantitative, formal, or descriptive.

We are in the process of arranging the publication of the proceedings
with Springer-Verlag in their CCIS series (as for the previous
editions of SFCM).

SFCM is an activity of the SIG Generation and Parsing of the German
Society for Computational Linguistics and Language Technology (GSCL).

*Topics*

This workshop's edition will focus on computational approaches to
theoretical and descriptive morphology: Interactions between
computational morphology and formal, quantitative, and descriptive
morphology.  Issues at stake involve theoretical morphological issues,
morphological complexity measures, or implementations of morphological
systems for individual languages and language families.

However, we also welcome submissions on other topics relevant to the
general topic of the workshop.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Studies that address formal morphological issues with the help of
computational methods, tools, and resources.
- Computational methods and tools for field linguistics.
- Quantitative approaches to theoretical morphology (e.g., complextiy
measures, predictability of forms).
- Approaches for handling phenomena at the interface between
morphology and neighboring levels of linguistic description, such as
phonetics, morphophonology, and syntax.
- Frameworks for developing morphological components.
- Open-source systems, tools, and resources for analyzing and
generating word forms, including implementations of formal models of
inflectional and/or derivational morphology.
- Use of morphological analysis and generation in NLP applications.
- Methods and criteria for evaluating morphological components with
respect to performance, quality, and coverage.
- Software engineering aspects: APIs, robustness, performance,
hardware/software requirements, resource usage.
- License models, versioning, and legal aspects

The workshop will also include a demo session for presenting
individual systems and resources.

*Submissions*

We invite researchers to submit full papers of up to 20 pages
(including references) or short papers of up to 10 pages.  Long papers
constitute an excellent opportunity to publish citable, in-depth
descriptions of systems and frameworks.  Submissions must be in
English.  Reviewing of papers will be double-blind by the members of
the program committee, and all submissions will receive several
independent reviews.  Papers submitted at review stage must not
contain the authors' names, affiliations, or any information that may
disclose the authors' identity.

Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their research
at the workshop as talk or as a poster.  Accepted papers will be
published in the proceedings of the workshop.

The papers must use the Springer-Verlag LNCS format.  We recommend to
use the LaTeX2e class.  Please strictly follow the LNCS
guidelines.  Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format.
For paper submissions we use EasyChair, see
