                      A workshop to be held at IJCNLP05

                        http://www.afnlp.org/IJCNLP05/

                     Jeju Island, Korea, 15 October 2005

                      Submission Deadline: June 7, 2005

    ORGANIZED BY:

    Stephan Oepen (University of Oslo & CSLI, 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    unpublished work on all aspects of linguistically interpreted corpora,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
     - automatic induction of linguistic competence through machine
     learning techniques.

    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.

    Review and Production Schedule:

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