DGfS-06 <http://www.spectrum.uni-bielefeld.de/DGfS/> Workshop on
Lexical Semantic Resources for
Language Documentation and Language Processing
February 22 - 24, 2006
Bielefeld, Germany
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop Description
Reasonably large lexical semantic resources are often regarded as a
prerequisite for advanced natural language processing (NLP). For the
German general domain vocabulary, there are currently several such
resources under construction, including GermaNet, SALSA/FrameNet, and
HaGenLex/MultiNet, some of which being integrated into multilingual
resources (GermaNet) or based on descriptive frameworks developed for a
different language (SALSA/FrameNet).
This workshop is intended as a forum for discussing both foundational
and practical issues concerning the design, the development, and the
application of monolingual and multilingual lexical semantic resources,
where the aforementioned examples may but need not serve as a point of
reference. Contributions addressing the following questions are
particularly welcome:
* Which design principles for lexical semantic resources are
desirable from the viewpoint of theoretical semantics, while
keeping in mind the need to cover many thousand lexemes?
* How can large-scale lexical semantic resources contribute to the
systematic description of the lexicon from a theoretical perspective?
* To what extent are theoretically motivated requirements compatible
with those deriving from applications in actual NLP systems?
Further topics of the workshop are:
* practical problems related to the construction and extension of
large lexical semantic resources - for instance the need for
appropriate software tools and the use of corpus-based methods,
* initiatives that aim at building multilingual resources or
establishing standards for lexical semantic representation (e.g.
the EAGLES/ISLE recommendations),
* applications of lexical semantic resources in mono- and
multilingual NLP systems, especially with respect to desiderata
concerning the coverage and structure of the resources.
Our workshop aims at bringing together developers and users of lexical
semantic resources as well as researchers interested in theoretical
aspects of lexical semantics.
