                          *** CALL FOR PAPERS ***

                        6th International Workshop on
                Linguistically Interpreted Corpora (LINC-2005)

                    http://www.delph-in.net/events/05/linc/

                      A workshop to be held at IJCNLP05
                        http://www.afnlp.org/IJCNLP05/

                         Jeju Island, 15 October 2005

                      Submission Deadline: June 7, 2005

    ORGANIZED BY:

      Stephan Oepen (University of Oslo & Stanford University)
      Kyonghee Paik (ATR Spoken Language Translation Research Laboratories)
      Francis Bond (NTT Communication Science Laboratories)

    TOPIC AND MOTIVATION:

      Large linguistically interpreted corpora play an increasingly
      important role for machine learning, evaluation, psycholinguistics as
      well as theoretical linguistics. Many research groups are engaged in
      the creation of corpus resources annotated with morphological,
      syntactic, semantic and discourse information for a variety of
      languages. We aim to bring together these activities in order to
      identify and disseminate best practice in the development and
      utilization of linguistically interpreted corpora.

      The aim of the workshop is to exchange and propagate research results
      with respect to the annotation, conversion and exploitation of
      corpora taking into account different applications and theoretical
      investigations in the field of language technology and research. We
      invite submissions of papers constituting substantial, original, and
      unpublished work on all aspects of linguistically interpreted corpora,
      including, but not limited to:

      - creation of practical annotation schemes
      - efficient annotation techniques
      - automation of corpus annotation
      - tools supporting corpus conversions
      - validation including consistency checking of corpora
      - browsing corpora and searching for instances of linguistic phenomena
      - interpretation of quantitative results
      - induction of linguistic competence through machine learning.

      As this is the first time the workshop will be held outside Europe,
      we particularly welcome work on non-European languages and the
      problems associated with them---segmentation, spelling variation,
      different encodings and so forth.

    SCHEDULE:

      Paper submission deadline: June 7, 2005
      Notification of acceptance: July 18, 2005
      Camera ready manuscripts due: August 5, 2005
      Workshop date: October 14, 2005

      Paper submissions must be anonymous and are limited to at most 8
      pages including references, figures etc. Authors are required to
      follow the guidelines of IJCNLP-05 conference workshop style, by
