ESSLLI-98 Workshop on
LEXICAL SEMANTICS IN CONTEXT: CORPUS, INFERENCE AND DISCOURSE
August 17 - 21, 1998

A workshop held as part of the
10th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
(ESSLLI-98)
August 17 - 28, 1998, Saarbruecken, Germany

** SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS **

ORGANIZERS: Johan Bos (Saarbruecken) and Paul Buitelaar (Brandeis University)

The workshop aims at bringing together research in two complementary fields of
semantic analysis that are still too far apart. In order to achieve both a
broad and a deep understanding of any given text document, a system needs both
advanced acquisition of corpus specific lexical semantic knowledge and powerful
inference mechanisms that utilize that knowledge in discourse analysis.

Given the still relatively limited results within both areas there has been
little impetus to combine them. Corpus-based extraction of lexical semantic
knowledge has only recently become a more feasible task, because of the growing
availibility of on-line text documents; robust corpus processing technologies,
such as broad coverage part-of-speech tagging and shallow parsing; and readily
available statistical methods. The various approaches to discourse analysis,
originating in such diverse fields as formal semantics, psychology and AI, are
in the process of converging into a unified approach to the analysis and
representation of the cohesive structure of natural language documents.

The intersection between these two fields lies in the application of lexical
semantic knowledge to such problems in discourse analysis as anaphora
resolution and discourse segmentation. In fact, the benefit will be mutual,
because knowledge of discourse structure is helpful to lexical knowledge
extraction as well.

In summary, large scale domain specific lexical semantic knowledge acquisition
can assist in analyzing discourse structures, which in turn can assist in
acquiring even more accurate lexical semantic representations for the relevant
terms in the domain.

ESSLLI-98 Workshop on
PROBABILISTIC LOGIC AND RANDOMISED COMPUTATION
August 17 - 21, 1998

A workshop held as part of the
10th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
(ESSLLI-98)
August 17 - 28, 1998, Saarbrueken, Germany

** SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS **

ORGANISERS: Alessandra Di Pierro and Herbert Wiklicky (London)

Web site: http://www.cs.city.ac.uk/~adp/esslli98.html

BACKGROUND:
Probabilistic concepts recently gained widespread interest in logic and
computer science, for example in the investigation of randomised
algorithms
and probabilistic proof systems.

Whereas probability and randomisation have always played an important role
in complexity theory (from average case analysis to probabilistic
complexity classes) the investigation of these notions in semantics was
much more limited and only in the last years renewed interest seems to
develop.

This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from areas like
philosophy, logics, semantics and the theory of algorithms whose research
is related to aspects of probability, stochastic processes, randomised
algorithms etc., in order to foster links and facilitate
cross-fertilisation of ideas among them.

The workshop topics include:

o philosophical foundations of probability o probabilistic logics
o probabilistic proof systems o probabilistic proof
checking
o probabilistic knowledge representation o probabilistic games
o randomised automata o randomised algorithms
o semantics of probabilistic languages o probabilistic
non-determinism
o probabilistic reasoning o fuzzy and belief systems
o inexact matching o constraints and
probability
o Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods o practical applications
o randomised optimisation (e.g. simulated annealing, genetic algorithms)
o (stochastic) approximation algorithms (for NP problems)

WORKSHOP FORMAT:
The workshop will be held as part of ESSLLI'98. There will be five
sessions of 90 minutes each, one on each day of the first week of the
school (August 17-22, 1998). The workshop will consist in the
presentation
of submitted papers and discussion sessions. Notes containing the papers
accepted for presentation will be made available in electronic form.
Opportunities for publishing revised versions of the papers will be
explored. The workshop will be open to attendance by all school
registrants.

SUBMISSION:
All researchers in the area, but especially Ph.D. students and young
researchers, are encourage to submit a paper. Papers should be submitted
in the form of an extended abstract of NO MORE THAN 4000 words (8-10
pages)
in length, and must include the e-mail address of all authors and a
200-300
word abstract. Deadline is February 15, 1998.

To submit a paper, please send a postscript file to <adp@cs.city.ac.uk> or
<herbert@cs.city.ac.uk> OR send three (3) hard copies of your paper to one

Subject: CFP: The Content-Provider as Colleague (MLA; 3/13)

Apropos of Dave Gants's recent comments. I'd look forward to receiving
proposals from Humanists. Matt

The Content-Provider as Colleague:
Creating Institutional Spaces for New Media Teaching and Research

A session at the 1998 MLA in San Francisco, sponsored by the Association for
Computers and the Humanities <http://www.ach.org/>.

This panel will address the apparent contradiction between the casual
enthusiasm for new media technologies increasingly evident among members of
the profession, and the material resistance scholars working with those very
same technologies often encounter when attempting to secure professional
rewards, departmental support, and administrative commitments. The panel
rests on the assumption that without sufficient institutional space (and
time) for new media work, humanities computing will cede current footholds
in literary and cultural studies to the commercial infotainment industry.

Possible topics include: the professional demographics of new media teaching
and research; hiring/tenure/promotion prospects in humanities computing and
the new media; curriculum development for humanities computing and new media
degree programs; _funding_; collaboration with computer science departments,
libraries, and the campus computing infrastructure; cooperative ventures
with commercial publishers and hardware/software developers; technology and
academic labor issues; dealing with administrators who are skeptical of new
technologies; dealing with administrators who embrace new technologies as
cost-effective short-cuts to teaching and research; what organizations like
the ACH, the ACW, and the MLA can (and can't) do; and futurology: where
humanities computing will (and won't) be in the next century.

Preference will be given to those papers which promise to combine workable
institutional strategies for supporting new media teaching and research with
an effective analysis of the material conditions of technology (and
technologists) in English or other modern language departments.

A response to the panel will be delivered by Joseph Tabbi, Department of
English, University of Illinois, Chicago. Professor Tabbi writes on
contemporary fiction and media studies, and is the founding editor of _ebr_
(the _electronic book review_ <http://www.altx.com/ebr/>).

Humanities; however, all panelists must be members of the Modern Language
Association by no later than April 1, 1998. Further information about this
session will be available from <http://www.iath.virginia.edu/~mgk3k/>.

Third Conference on
Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing
(EMNLP-3)

WHEN: Tuesday, June 2, 1998 (following the First International
Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation and the NSF
Workshop on Translingual Information Management)

WHERE: Granada, Spain

CONFERENCE DESCRIPTION:

In the spirit of SIGDAT events, this conference will offer a general
forum for novel research in corpus-based and statistical natural
language processing. Areas of interest include (but are not limited
to):

- robust parsing, phrase structure analysis
- part of speech tagging
- term and name identification
- word sense disambiguation
- morphological analysis
- anaphora resolution
- event categorization
- discourse structure identification
- alignment of parallel texts and bilingual terminology
- language modelling
- lexicography
- machine translation
- spelling and grammar correction

In addition, we encourage submissions that describe and evaluate the
strengths, weaknesses, and recent advances in corpus-based NLP as
applied to MULTI-LINGUAL APPLICATIONS.

The development of natural language applications which handle
multi-lingual information is the next major challenge facing the field
of computational linguistics. How well do techniques for lexical
tagging, parsing, anaphora resolution, etc., handle the specific
problems of multi-lingual applications? What new methods have been
developed to address the deficiencies of existing algorithms for these
tasks or to address problems specific to handling multi-lingual
applications? What problems still lack an adequate empirical solution?
Conversely, how can data-driven NLP methods be improved with the help
of multi-lingual data?

ADAPTING LEXICAL AND CORPUS RESOURCES TO SUBLANGUAGES AND APPLICATIONS

a workshop to be held at the

FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON LANGUAGE RESOURCES AND EVALUATION

GRANADA, SPAIN, 26 MAY 1998

The workshop will provide a forum for those researchers involved in
the development of methods to integrate corpora and MRDs, with the aim of
adding adaptive capabilities to existing linguistic resources.

Organisers: Roberto Basili (University of Roma "Tor Vergata"),
Roberta Catizone (University of Sheffield),
Maria Teresa Pazienza (University of Roma "Tor Vergata"),
Paola Velardi (University of Roma "La Sapienza),
Yorick Wilks (University of Sheffield)

WORKSHOP SCOPE AND AIMS

Lexicons, i.e., those components of a NLP system that contain "computable"
information about words, cannot be considered as static objects. Words may
behave very differently in different domains, and there are language
phenomena that do not generalize across sublanguages.
Lexicons are a snapshot of a given stage of development of a language,
normally provided without support for adaptation changes, whether caused
by language creativity and development or the shift to such
a previously unencountered domain.

The divergence of corpus usages from lexical norms has been studied
computationally at least since the late Sixties, but only recently
has the availability of large on-line corpora made it possible to establish
methods to cope systematically with this problem.
An emerging branch of research is now involved in studies and experiments
on corpus-driven linguistics, with the aim of complementing and
extending earlier work on lexicon acquisition based on Machine Readable
Dictionaries (MRD): data are extracted from texts, as embodiments of
language in
use, so as to capture lexical regularities and to code them into operational
forms. The purpose of this workshop will be to provide an updated snapshot
of current work in the area, and promote discussion of how to make progress.

Central topics will be (though this list is in no way exclusive):

* corpus-driven tuning of MRDs to optimize domain-specific inferences,
* terminology and jargon acquisition,
* sense extensions,
* acquisition of preference or subcategorization information from corpora
* taxonomy adaptation,
* statistical weighting of senses etc. to domains
* use of MRDs to provide explanations of linguistic phenomena in corpora
* what is the scope of "lexical tuning"
* the evaluation of lexical tuning as a separate task, or as part
of a more generic task
