Call For Papers

Proposals are invited for the Tutorial Program of the 51th Annual Meeting
of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2013). The main
conference is to be held in Sofia, Bulgaria, on August 5-7, 2013. The
tutorials are scheduled for Sunday, August 4.

ACL 2013 seeks proposals for tutorials on all topics of computational
linguistics, broadly conceived to include areas such as cognitive modelling
of language processing and psycholinguistics, dialogue and interactive
systems, discourse, coreference and pragmatics, text mining and information

GSCL 2013 – Second Call for Papers

The bi-annual meeting of the German Society for Computational Linguistics and Language Technology (GSCL) in 2013 will take place from 25th to 27th September at Technische Universität Darmstadt organized by the UKP Lab, Department of Computer Science.

SHARED TASK DESCRIPTION

We are excited to organize the first shared task in Native Language Identification (NLI) which is the task of identifying the native language (L1) of a writer based solely on a sample of their writing. The task is framed as a classification problem where the set of L1s is known a priori. Most work has focused on identifying the native language of writers learning English as a second language. This problem has been growing in popularity and has motivated several ACL, NAACL and EMNLP papers, as well as a master's and doctorate thesis.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Characteristic to all areas of human activity (from poetic to ordinary
to scientific) and, thus, to all types of discourse, metaphor becomes
an important problem for natural language processing. Its ubiquity in
language has been established in a number of corpus studies and the
role it plays in human reasoning has been confirmed in psychological
experiments. This makes metaphor an important research area for
computational and cognitive linguistics, and its automatic
identification and interpretation indispensable for any
semantics-oriented NLP application.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Submission deadline EXTENDED to 8 September (Sat).

*********************************************************************

The School of Informatics of the Universidad Andres Bello, sponsored by NAACL invites to our I Virtual Workshop in Linguistics Engineering. This event has the goal of developing collaboration networks between researchers and students of both, linguistics and engineering.Our intention is to meet, in a virtual space, researchers of the field interested in sharing experiences, and to motivate to other academics and students to discover relations among linguistic and engineering (and viceversa). The language of this workshop will be Spanish.
