First call for papers
2007 NooJ Conference
Deadline: March 2, 2007
CALL
We invite the submission of papers for the forthcoming NooJ conference,
to be held in Barcelona, Spain, June 7 - 9 2007 at the Universidad
Autònoma de Barcelona.
NooJ is a linguistic development environment that includes tools to
construct and maintain large-coverage lexical resources, morphological
and syntactic grammars. Dictionaries and grammars are applied to texts
in order to locate morphological, lexical and syntactic patterns, remove
ambiguities, tag words, extract semantic entities, perform automatic
Machine Translation, etc.
NooJ can build lemmatized concordances of large texts from Finite-State
Automata and Transducers, Context-Free grammars and Recursive Transition
Networks, and can accordingly perform transformation operations on texts
in cascade to recusively annotate texts, which gives it the power of a
Turing machine.
NooJ is based on the Object Oriented "Component Programming" .NET
framework. Its most exclusive characteristics are:
-- NooJ's linguistic engine uses an annotation system synchronized to
the text,
that allows morphological, syntactic and semantic grammars to be applied
to texts without modifying the original text; this allows linguists to
describe various phenomena independantly, and apply the corresponding
grammars in cascade;
-- its integration of its inflection & derivation engine into its syntactic
engine allows linguists to program Harris-type transformations.
NooJ includes processes texts and corpora in over 100+ file formats,
including all variants of UNICODE, ASCII, HTML, MS-OFFICE, etc. ; its
linguistic engine is multilingual ; it can import information from, and
export its annotations back to XML documents ; NooJ command-line program
and direct Object Oriented API make it much easier to integrate any of
its functionalities into other applications, etc.
NooJ is used as a linguistic development platform, an information
retrieval system, a terminological extractor, as well as to teach
linguistics and computational linguistics.

As in previous INTEX/NooJ conferences, this meeting will be the
opportunity for NooJ users, as well as other researchers interested in
NLP, to meet and to exchange their experience of development, research
or teaching, including computational morphology, lexicon and
quantitative linguistics. It will also be the occasion to present and
discover the recent developments of NooJ.
To submit a paper, please send a one-page abstract before March 2, 2007
to lab.flexsem@uab.es. The abstract, in French or in English, should
contain the title of the article, the name, institution, surface mail
and electronic address of each co-author.
All papers will be reviewed by the program committee. Authors will be
notified whether their papers are accepted or rejected end of april,
2007. The timeslot is 30 minutes for presentations, including 5 minutes
for discussions.
