MLRI06: Multilingual Language Resources and Interoperability
In an ever-expanding information society, most information systems are
now facing the "multilingual challenge". Lexical resources play an
essential role in these information systems. Such lexical resources
need to provide information on many languages in a common framework and
should be (re)usable in many applications (for automatic or human use).
This workshop aims at bringing together research on using and building
different language resources, such as lexicons, (Semantic Web)
ontologies, tagsets, annotation schemes etc., to achieve multilingual
interoperation.
We welcome submissions on recent and innovative work involving such
multilingual ressources. Submissions should focus on any of the
following topics:
- models for language/application-independent linguistic data,
- multilingual linguistic data acquisition and maintenance,
- interaction between different kinds of resources (lexicons,
corpora, ontologies, etc.) for different languages,
- lexical architectures to link data between languages
- Internationalization of annotations and representations
- use of linguistic resources for applications in a
multilingual
context
- reuse of existing lexical resources in a specific
multilingual
application
- human use of lexical resources in a multilingual context
- quality evaluation of multilingual data
- standardization issues
We welcome submissions concerning multilingual language resources of
ANY kind. However, special attention will be given to submissions
presenting uses of XML to achieve multilingual interoperability.
Moreover, as the workshop takes place in Australia, special attention
will also be given to submissions on resources involving Asian or
Australian lesser-used languages.
The intent of the workshop is not only to review academic developments
but also to hear from industry, how these resources are used in new
technology developments and what the current needs are in the field.
Presentations, project notes and position papers are welcome.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and
should not exceed eight (8) pages, including references. We strongly
recommend the use of the LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word document
template that will be made available on the COLING/ACL onference Web
site. A description of the required format will be made available to
those who are unable to make direct use of these style files.
Submission will be electronic. The only accepted format for submitted
papers is Adobe PDF. The papers must be submitted no later than April
3, 2006. Papers submitted after that time will not be reviewed. For
details of the submission procedure, please consult the submission
webpage reachable via the workshop website.
Questions regarding the submission procedure should be directed to the
Program Co-Chairs (Gilles.Serasset@imag.fr,
andreas.witt@uni-bielefeld.de).
