Abbas Malik
Dear All,
Please forward this final cfd to all interesting people. Thank you,
Final Call for Demo Submission
COLING Workshop 2010
Workshop on South and Southeast Asian Natural Language Processing (WSSANLP)
Endorsed by Asian Language Resources Committee (ALRC), Asian Federation of NLP (AFNLP)
28 August, Beijing, China
Submission deadline: May 30, 2010
June 7 2010
Motivation
The main motive behind the organization of South and Southeast Asian Natural Languages Processing (SSANLP) workshop is to bring together the community working on the South and Southeast Asian languages covering all aspects of natural language processing and computational linguistics such as development of computational resources, morphology, syntax, semantics and machine translation. This is a long term commitment and goal, which cannot be achieved through a single workshop. Hence, we are planning to make this workshop an annual or biennial event collocated with one of the major ACL conferences and focusing on certain specific NLP issues. The current workshop focuses on the phenomena of rich Morphology of South and South East Asian languages and the complex segmentation in these languages.
Topics
The topics of interest for SSANLP workshop include (but not limited to) the following related to the morphology and segmentation of South and Southeast Asian languages:
- The complexity of word level processing
- Frameworks for morphological processing
- Universal morphotactic phenomena across South and Southeast Asian languages
- Lexicon and Rule-basis for morphological analysis
- New formalisms, or computational treatments of existing linguistic formalisms for the said languages
- Probabilistic models and machine learning for morphology and segmentation
- Analysis or exploitation of multilingual, multi-dialectal, and diachronic data
- Algorithms, including finite-state methods
- Algorithms and methods for automatic development of morphological analysis from the corpus
- Generic morphological analyzer for South and Southeast Asian Languages
- Communication of morpho-tactics with its neighboring layers in the linguistic process (i.e. Morpho-syntactics and Morpho-phonemics) for the said languages
- Usability or extensibility of existing tools like KIMMO, XFST, ATEF, etc. for the development of morphological analyzer for South and Southeast Asian languages
- Tools and resources
Author Instructions
Authors are invited to submit demo papers of their substantial, original, novel, completed and new research work relevant to the topics of the workshop. Please submit a four pages description plus additional pages for references of your demo discussing briefly the working and the architecture of the system, the uniqueness and innovative aspect of the system, and its comparison with related systems in the area.
All submissions must follow and conform to the official COLING 2010 Style guidelines to be announced on the conference website www.coling-2010.org
Reviewing of papers will be double-blind. Therefore, the paper must not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", must be avoided. Instead, citations such as "Smith (1991) previously showed ...", must be used. Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review.
Dual submission policy: If you have submitted or plan to submit your paper in other venues, then you must indicate this fact during submission to SSANLP. Note that if your paper is accepted in SSANLP then you must withdraw the same paper from other venues in order to get it published in the proceedings of SSANLP.
