[All] NODALIDA Workshop on semantic resources and semantic annotation for natural language processing and the digital humanities.

[Bolette Sandford Pedersen]

Workshop at NODALIDA 2015, Vilnius, Lithuania

*May 11, 13-18*


      *Semantic resources and semantic annotation for Natural Language
      Processing and the Digital Humanities.*

Even if language resources covering English tend to receive most 
attention in the LT community, recent years have shown an increased 
interest in developing lexical semantic resources and semantically 
annotated corpora of also lesser-resourced languages, including the 
languages in the Nordic and Baltic region. Nevertheless, high-quality 
semantic resources with sufficient coverage still prove to be a serious 
bottleneck not only in purely rule-based NLP applications but also in 
supervised corpus-based approaches. Also in the Digital Humanities there 
is an increased interest in and need for semantic annotation which would 
enable more refined search in, and better visualization and analyses of 
large-scale corpus data.

This workshop focuses in particular on the interplay between 
lexical-semantic resources as resembled by wordnets, framenets, 
propbanks, and others and their relation to practical corpus annotation. 
The workshop – a follow-up on the successful Nodalida 2009 and 2013 
workshops on semantic resources – intends to bring together researchers 
involved in building and integrating semantic resources (lexicons and 
corpora) as well as researchers who apply these resources for semantic 
processing. Also researchers who are more theoretically interested in 
investigating the interplay between lexical semantics, lexicography, 
corpus linguistics and Digital Humanities are welcome.

We invite papers presenting original research relating to semantic 
resources for NLP and DH on topics such as:

  * representation of lexical-semantic knowledge for computational use
  * the interplay between lexical-semantic resources and semantically
    annotated corpora
  * corpus-based approaches to lexical-semantic resources
  * tools for semantic annotation
  * terminology and lexical semantics: concept-based vs lexical semantic
    approaches
  * monolingual vs. multilingual approaches to semantic lexicons and corpora
  * quality assessment of lexical-semantic resources: criteria, methods
  * applications using lexical-semantic resources (information
    retrieval, semantic tagging of corpora, MT, Digital Humanities etc.)
  * machine-learning techniques to discover semantic structures such as
    unsupervised learning, distance supervision, or cross-language learning.
  * traditional lexicography and NLP lexicons: re-use and differences
  * applying semantic resources (lexica, corpora) for semantic processing
  * word sense disambiguation based on lexically informed techniques


      *Submission*

Papers should conform to the main Nodalida stylesheet 
<http://stp.lingfil.uu.se/%7Ebea/nodalida15/>.

Submissions must be anonymous, i.e. not reveal author(s) on the title 
page or through self-references. Papers must be submitted digitally, in 
PDF, and uploaded through the on-line conference system. Paper 
submissions that violate either of these requirements will be returned 
without review.

The page limit for submissions is up to fourteen pages of text, plus 
unlimited additional pages with bibliographic references.

All submissions to the workshop must be uploaded electronically 
following the above requirements to the EasyChair conference management 
system:

All submissions will be reviewed by the program committee. All accepted 
papers will be collected into a proceedings volume to be submitted for 
publication in the NEALT Proceedings Series (Linköping Electronic 
Conference Proceedings).
