Call for Papers
Workshop on Computational Modeling of Lexical Acquisition
- The Split Meeting -
http://www.ohz.unist.hr/cpala/
Time: 25.-28. July 2005
Location: University of Split, Croatia
The Croatian Language Technologies Society (CLTS) and the University of
Split
are pleased to sponsor the inaugural meeting of the Workshop on
Computational
Linguistics held in Split, Croatia, focusing on the topic of
"Computational
Modeling of Lexical Acquisition". We will build on the topics in
formal-theoretical and computational linguistics, in particular on
issues in
learnability, complexity and modeling of lexical knowledge.
This workshop is especially intended to provide a forum for the
presentation
of unique and original research on computational linguistic topics in
the
domain of learning of lexical properties, i.e. lexical acquisition,
including
but not limited to the following topics:
a. machine learning methods for lexical acquisition
- speech and language segmentation into lexical units
- induction and learning of phonological and morphological structure
- inducing formal grammars from discovered structural properties
- learning lexical semantic properties and lexical disambiguation
- computational models of psycholinguistic aspects of lexical
acquisition
b. corpora, evaluation and applications
- induction of part-of-speech information for tagging and automatic
annotation
(via e.g. clustering and classification, using Vector Space Modeling
or other
strategies)
- corpora for learning phonological and morphological regularities and a
common gold standard
- applications using machine learning and automatic lexical acquisition
(e.g. tagger, ontologies, textmining)
- evaluation strategies and methods for learning approaches
This workshop will expand into a fixed annual event organized by the
Croatian
Language Technologies Society (CLTS) to be hosted, in turn, and shared
among
all interested and committed Croatian Universities.
Time: 25.-28. July 2005
Location: University of Split, Croatia
