<p>Loenneker: /* Program committee */</p> <hr /> <div>== NAACL HLT Workshop on Computational Approaches to Linguistic Creativity 2010 ==<br /> <br /> It is generally agreed upon that creativity is an important property of human language. For example, speakers routinely coin new words, employ novel metaphors, and play with words through puns. Indeed, such creative processes take place at all levels of language from the lexicon, to syntax, semantics, and discourse. Creativity allows speakers to express themselves with their own individual style. It provides new ways of looking at the world, by describing something through the use of unusual comparisons for effect, emphasis, or interest, and thus making language more engaging and fun. Listeners are typically able to understand creative language without any difficulties. On the other hand, generating and recognizing creative language presents a tremendous challenge for natural language processing (NLP) systems.<br /> <br /> The recognition of instances of linguistic creativity, and the computation of their meaning, constitute one of the most challenging problems for a variety of NLP tasks, such as machine translation, text summarization, information retrieval, dialog systems, and sentiment analysis. Moreover, models of linguistic creativity are necessary for systems capable of generating story narratives, jokes, or poetry. Nevertheless, despite the importance of linguistic creativity in many NLP tasks, it still remains unclear how to model, simulate, or evaluate linguistic creativity. Furthermore, research on topics related to linguistic creativity has not received a great deal of attention at major computational linguistics conferences in recent years.<br /> <br /> [http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=CALC-09 CALC-09] was the first venue to present research on a wide range of topics related to linguistic creativity including computational models of metaphor, generation of creative texts, and measuring morphological and constructional productivity. CALC-10 provides a venue for publication of further research on these topics, and other aspects and modalities of linguistic creativity. Within the scope of the workshop, the event is intended to be interdisciplinary. Besides contributions from an NLP perspective, we also welcome the participation of researchers who deal with linguistic creativity from perspectives other than NLP, such as cognitive science, psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, the arts, and human-computer interaction.<br /> <br /> == Topics ==<br /> <br /> We are particularly interested in work on the automatic detection, classification, understanding, or generation of:<br /> * neologisms; <br /> * creative use of figurative language, including metaphor, metonymy, personification, and idioms;<br /> * new or unconventional syntactic constructions (e.g., May I serve who's next?);<br /> * indirect speech acts (such as curses, insults, sarcasm, and irony), verbally expressed humor, poetry, and fiction;<br /> * other phenomena illustrating linguistic creativity (e.g., eggcorns such as once and a while for once in a while; new and emerging forms found in computer-mediated communication).<br /> <br /> We also welcome descriptions and discussions of:<br /> * computational tools that support people in using language creatively (e.g., tools for computer-assisted creative writing, intelligent thesauri);<br /> * computational and/or cognitive models of linguistic creativity;<br /> * metrics and tools for evaluating the performance of creativity-aware systems;<br /> * specific application scenarios of computational linguistic creativity;<br /> <br /> Related topics, including corpora collection, elicitation, and annotation of creative language usage, will also be considered, as long as their relevance to automatic systems is clearly demonstrated.<br /> <br /> == Invited speaker ==<br /> <br /> [http://nil.fdi.ucm.es/index.php?q=node/92 Pablo Gervas], Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain<br /> <br /> == Location == <br /> <br /> The CALC-10 workshop will be held in conjunction with [http://naaclhlt2010.isi.edu/ NAACL HLT 2010] in Los Angeles, on June 5 or 6, 2010.<br /> <br /> == Tentative dates ==<br /> *Dec 18, 2009: Call for papers<br /> *Mar 1, 2010: Paper submission deadline<br /> *Mar 30, 2010: Notification of acceptance<br /> *Apr 12, 2010: Camera-ready paper deadline<br /> *Jun 5 or 6, 2010: CALC-10<br /> <br /> == Workshop co-chairs ==<br /> * [http://cs.toronto.edu/~pcook Paul Cook], University of Toronto (pcook@cs.toronto.edu)<br /> * [http://chss.montclair.edu/~feldmana/ Anna Feldman], Montclair State University (anna.feldman@montclair.edu)<br /> <br /> == Program committee ==<br /> <br /> * Roberto Basili, University of Roma, Italy<br /> * Beata Beigman Klebanov, Northwestern University<br /> * Amilcar Cardoso, Coimbra, Portugal<br /> * Mona Diab, Columbia University<br /> * Afsaneh Fazly, Shiraz University, Iran <br /> * Eileen Fitzpatrick, Montclair State University<br /> * Pablo Gervas, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain<br /> * Roxana Girju, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign<br /> * Sid Horton, Northwestern University<br /> * Diana Inkpen, University of Ottawa, Canada<br /> * Mark Lee, Birmingham, UK<br /> * Birte Loenneker-Rodman, Across Systems GmbH, Germany<br /> * Xiaofei Lu, Penn State<br /> * Ruli Manurung, University of Indonesia<br /> * Katja Markert, University of Leeds, UK<br /> * Saif Mohammad, National Research Council, Ottawa, Canada<br /> * Anton Nijholt, Twente, The Netherlands<br /> * Ted Pedersen, University of Minnesota in Duluth<br /> * Vasile Rus, The University of Memphis<br /> * Gerard Steen, Vrije Universiteit,The Netherlands<br /> * Juergen Trouvain, Saarland University, Germany<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> Here are some recent papers related to the topics of the CALC-2010 workshop.

<p>Loenneker: /* New: Accepted Papers and Posters */</p> <hr /> <div>== Workshop on Computational Approaches to Linguistic Creativity ==<br /> <br /> It is generally agreed upon that "linguistic creativity" is a unique<br /> property of human language. Some claim that linguistic creativity is<br /> expressed in our ability to combine known words in a new sentence,<br /> others refer to our skill to express thoughts in figurative language,<br /> and yet others talk about syntactic recursion and lexical creativity.<br /> <br /> For the purpose of this workshop, we treat the term "linguistic<br /> creativity" to mean "creative language usage at different levels", from<br /> the lexicon to syntax to discourse and text (see also topics and references, below).<br /> <br /> The recognition of instances of linguistic creativity and the<br /> computation of their meaning constitute one of the most challenging<br /> problems for a variety of Natural Language Processing tasks, such as<br /> machine translation, text summarization, information retrieval, question<br /> answering, and sentiment analysis. Computational systems incorporating<br /> models of linguistic creativity operate on different types of data<br /> (including written text, audio/speech/sound, and video/images/gestures).<br /> New approaches might combine information from different modalities.<br /> Creativity-aware systems will improve the contribution Computational<br /> Linguistics has to offer to many practical areas, including education,<br /> entertainment, and engineering.<br /> <br /> Within the scope of the workshop, the event is intended to be<br /> interdisciplinary. Besides contributions from an NLP perspective, we also welcome the<br /> participation of researchers who deal with linguistic creativity from different<br /> perspectives, including psychology, neuroscience, or human-computer interaction.<br /> <br /> ==Location==<br /> <br /> [[Image:BoulderBearPeak.jpg|frame|View of Boulder from Bear Peak. University of Colorado at the far left.]]<br /> The CALC-09 workshop will be held in conjunction with [http://www.naaclhlt2009.org NAACL HLT 2009] in Boulder, Colorado, on June 4, 2009.<br /> <br /> ==Topics==<br /> <br /> We are particularly interested in work on the automatic detection, classification, understanding, or generation of:<br /> <br /> * neologisms;<br /> * figurative language, including metaphor, metonymy, personification, idioms;<br /> * new or unconventional syntactic constructions ("May I serve who's next?") and constructions defying traditional parsers (e.g. gapping: "Many words were spoken, and sentiments expressed");<br /> * indirect speech acts (such as curses, insults, sarcasm and irony);<br /> * verbally expressed humor;<br /> * poetry and fiction;<br /> * and other phenomena illustrating linguistic creativity.<br /> <br /> Depending on the state of the art of approaches to the various phenomena and languages, preference will be given to work on deeper processing (e.g., understanding, goal-driven generation) rather than shallow approaches (e.g., binary classication, random generation). We also welcome descriptions and discussions of:<br /> <br /> * computational tools that support people in using language creatively (e.g. tools for computer-assisted creative writing, intelligent thesauri);<br /> * computational and/or cognitive models of linguistic creativity;<br /> * metrics and tools for evaluating the performance of creativity-aware systems;<br /> * specific application scenarios of computational linguistic creativity;<br /> * design and implementation of creativity-aware systems.<br /> <br /> Related topics, including corpora collection, elicitation, and annotation of creative language usage, will also be considered, as long as their relevance to automatic systems is clearly pointed out.<br /> <br /> A (non-exhaustive) list of recent references is provided below to further illustrate the range of possible workshop topics.<br /> <br /> == Invited Speaker==<br /> [http://nickm.com/ Nick Montfort], MIT<br /> <br /> === '''Curveship: A System for Interactive Fiction and Interactive Narrating'''===<br /> <br /> Interactive fiction (often called "IF") is a venerable thread of creative <br /> computing that includes ''Adventure'', ''Zork'', and the computer game ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' as well as innovative recent work. These <br /> programs are usually known as "games," appropriately, but they can also be <br /> rich forms of text-based computer simulation, dialog systems, and examples <br /> of computational literary art. Theorists of narrative have long <br /> distinguished between the level of underlying content or story (which can <br /> usefully be seen as corresponding to the simulated world in interactive <br /> fiction) and that of expression or discourse (corresponding to the textual <br /> exchange between computer and user). While IF development systems have <br /> offered a great deal of power and flexibility to author/programmers by <br /> providing a computational model of the fictional world, previous systems <br /> have not systematically distinguished between the telling and what is <br /> told. Developers were not able to control the content and expression <br /> levels independently so that they could, for instance, have a program <br /> relate events out of chronological order or have it relate events from the <br /> perspective of different characters. Curveship is an interactive fiction <br /> system which draws on narrative theory and computational linguistics to <br /> allow the transformation of the narrating in these ways. This talk will <br /> briefly describe interactive fiction and narrative variation and will <br /> detail how Curveship provides these new capabilities.<br /> <br /> == '''New:''' Schedule ==<br /> <br /> We received many good submissions, and would like to thank all authors for their work.

<p>Loenneker: </p> <hr /> <div>== Workshop on Computational Approaches to Linguistic Creativity ==<br /> <br /> It is generally agreed upon that "linguistic creativity" is a unique<br /> property of human language. Some claim that linguistic creativity is<br /> expressed in our ability to combine known words in a new sentence,<br /> others refer to our skill to express thoughts in figurative language,<br /> and yet others talk about syntactic recursion and lexical creativity.<br /> <br /> For the purpose of this workshop, we treat the term "linguistic<br /> creativity" to mean "creative language usage at different levels", from<br /> the lexicon to syntax to discourse and text (see also topics and references, below).<br /> <br /> The recognition of instances of linguistic creativity and the<br /> computation of their meaning constitute one of the most challenging<br /> problems for a variety of Natural Language Processing tasks, such as<br /> machine translation, text summarization, information retrieval, question<br /> answering, and sentiment analysis. Computational systems incorporating<br /> models of linguistic creativity operate on different types of data<br /> (including written text, audio/speech/sound, and video/images/gestures).<br /> New approaches might combine information from different modalities.<br /> Creativity-aware systems will improve the contribution Computational<br /> Linguistics has to offer to many practical areas, including education,<br /> entertainment, and engineering.<br /> <br /> Within the scope of the workshop, the event is intended to be<br /> interdisciplinary. Besides contributions from an NLP perspective, we also welcome the<br /> participation of researchers who deal with linguistic creativity from different<br /> perspectives, including psychology, neuroscience, or human-computer interaction.<br /> <br /> ==Location==<br /> <br /> [[Image:BoulderBearPeak.jpg|frame|View of Boulder from Bear Peak. University of Colorado at the far left.]]<br /> The CALC-09 workshop will be held in conjunction with [http://www.naaclhlt2009.org NAACL HLT 2009] in Boulder, Colorado, on June 4, 2009.<br /> <br /> ==Topics==<br /> <br /> We are particularly interested in work on the automatic detection, classification, understanding, or generation of:<br /> <br /> * neologisms;<br /> * figurative language, including metaphor, metonymy, personification, idioms;<br /> * new or unconventional syntactic constructions ("May I serve who's next?") and constructions defying traditional parsers (e.g. gapping: "Many words were spoken, and sentiments expressed");<br /> * indirect speech acts (such as curses, insults, sarcasm and irony);<br /> * verbally expressed humor;<br /> * poetry and fiction;<br /> * and other phenomena illustrating linguistic creativity.<br /> <br /> Depending on the state of the art of approaches to the various phenomena and languages, preference will be given to work on deeper processing (e.g., understanding, goal-driven generation) rather than shallow approaches (e.g., binary classication, random generation). We also welcome descriptions and discussions of:<br /> <br /> * computational tools that support people in using language creatively (e.g. tools for computer-assisted creative writing, intelligent thesauri);<br /> * computational and/or cognitive models of linguistic creativity;<br /> * metrics and tools for evaluating the performance of creativity-aware systems;<br /> * specific application scenarios of computational linguistic creativity;<br /> * design and implementation of creativity-aware systems.<br /> <br /> Related topics, including corpora collection, elicitation, and annotation of creative language usage, will also be considered, as long as their relevance to automatic systems is clearly pointed out.<br /> <br /> A (non-exhaustive) list of recent references is provided below to further illustrate the range of possible workshop topics.<br /> <br /> == Invited Speaker==<br /> [http://nickm.com/ Nick Montfort], MIT<br /> <br /> === '''Curveship: A System for Interactive Fiction and Interactive Narrating'''===<br /> <br /> Interactive fiction (often called "IF") is a venerable thread of creative <br /> computing that includes ''Adventure'', ''Zork'', and the computer game ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' as well as innovative recent work. These <br /> programs are usually known as "games," appropriately, but they can also be <br /> rich forms of text-based computer simulation, dialog systems, and examples <br /> of computational literary art. Theorists of narrative have long <br /> distinguished between the level of underlying content or story (which can <br /> usefully be seen as corresponding to the simulated world in interactive <br /> fiction) and that of expression or discourse (corresponding to the textual <br /> exchange between computer and user). While IF development systems have <br /> offered a great deal of power and flexibility to author/programmers by <br /> providing a computational model of the fictional world, previous systems <br /> have not systematically distinguished between the telling and what is <br /> told. Developers were not able to control the content and expression <br /> levels independently so that they could, for instance, have a program <br /> relate events out of chronological order or have it relate events from the <br /> perspective of different characters. Curveship is an interactive fiction <br /> system which draws on narrative theory and computational linguistics to <br /> allow the transformation of the narrating in these ways. This talk will <br /> briefly describe interactive fiction and narrative variation and will <br /> detail how Curveship provides these new capabilities.<br /> <br /> == '''New:''' Accepted Papers and Posters ==<br /> <br /> We received many good submissions, and would like to thank all authors for their work.

<p>Loenneker: /* Program Committee */</p> <hr /> <div>== Workshop on Computational Approaches to Linguistic Creativity ==<br /> <br /> It is generally agreed upon that "linguistic creativity" is a unique<br /> property of human language. Some claim that linguistic creativity is<br /> expressed in our ability to combine known words in a new sentence,<br /> others refer to our skill to express thoughts in figurative language,<br /> and yet others talk about syntactic recursion and lexical creativity.<br /> <br /> For the purpose of this workshop, we treat the term "linguistic<br /> creativity" to mean "creative language usage at different levels", from<br /> the lexicon to syntax to discourse and text (see also topics and references, below).<br /> <br /> The recognition of instances of linguistic creativity and the<br /> computation of their meaning constitute one of the most challenging<br /> problems for a variety of Natural Language Processing tasks, such as<br /> machine translation, text summarization, information retrieval, question<br /> answering, and sentiment analysis. Computational systems incorporating<br /> models of linguistic creativity operate on different types of data<br /> (including written text, audio/speech/sound, and video/images/gestures).<br /> New approaches might combine information from different modalities.<br /> Creativity-aware systems will improve the contribution Computational<br /> Linguistics has to offer to many practical areas, including education,<br /> entertainment, and engineering.<br /> <br /> Within the scope of the workshop, the event is intended to be<br /> interdisciplinary. Besides contributions from an NLP perspective, we also welcome the<br /> participation of researchers who deal with linguistic creativity from different<br /> perspectives, including psychology, neuroscience, or human-computer interaction.<br /> <br /> ==Location==<br /> <br /> [[Image:BoulderBearPeak.jpg|frame|View of Boulder from Bear Peak. University of Colorado at the far left.]]<br /> The CALC-09 workshop will be held in conjunction with [http://www.naaclhlt2009.org NAACL HLT 2009] in Boulder, Colorado, on June 4, 2009.<br /> <br /> ==Topics==<br /> <br /> We are particularly interested in work on the automatic detection, classification, understanding, or generation of:<br /> <br /> * neologisms;<br /> * figurative language, including metaphor, metonymy, personification, idioms;<br /> * new or unconventional syntactic constructions ("May I serve who's next?") and constructions defying traditional parsers (e.g. gapping: "Many words were spoken, and sentiments expressed");<br /> * indirect speech acts (such as curses, insults, sarcasm and irony);<br /> * verbally expressed humor;<br /> * poetry and fiction;<br /> * and other phenomena illustrating linguistic creativity.<br /> <br /> Depending on the state of the art of approaches to the various phenomena and languages, preference will be given to work on deeper processing (e.g., understanding, goal-driven generation) rather than shallow approaches (e.g., binary classication, random generation). We also welcome descriptions and discussions of:<br /> <br /> * computational tools that support people in using language creatively (e.g. tools for computer-assisted creative writing, intelligent thesauri);<br /> * computational and/or cognitive models of linguistic creativity;<br /> * metrics and tools for evaluating the performance of creativity-aware systems;<br /> * specific application scenarios of computational linguistic creativity;<br /> * design and implementation of creativity-aware systems.<br /> <br /> Related topics, including corpora collection, elicitation, and annotation of creative language usage, will also be considered, as long as their relevance to automatic systems is clearly pointed out.<br /> <br /> A (non-exhaustive) list of recent references is provided below to further illustrate the range of possible workshop topics.<br /> <br /> == Invited Speaker==<br /> [http://nickm.com/ Nick Montfort], MIT<br /> <br /> === '''Curveship: A System for Interactive Fiction and Interactive Narrating'''===<br /> <br /> Interactive fiction (often called "IF") is a venerable thread of creative <br /> computing that includes ''Adventure'', ''Zork'', and the computer game ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' as well as innovative recent work. These <br /> programs are usually known as "games," appropriately, but they can also be <br /> rich forms of text-based computer simulation, dialog systems, and examples <br /> of computational literary art. Theorists of narrative have long <br /> distinguished between the level of underlying content or story (which can <br /> usefully be seen as corresponding to the simulated world in interactive <br /> fiction) and that of expression or discourse (corresponding to the textual <br /> exchange between computer and user). While IF development systems have <br /> offered a great deal of power and flexibility to author/programmers by <br /> providing a computational model of the fictional world, previous systems <br /> have not systematically distinguished between the telling and what is <br /> told. Developers were not able to control the content and expression <br /> levels independently so that they could, for instance, have a program <br /> relate events out of chronological order or have it relate events from the <br /> perspective of different characters. Curveship is an interactive fiction <br /> system which draws on narrative theory and computational linguistics to <br /> allow the transformation of the narrating in these ways. This talk will <br /> briefly describe interactive fiction and narrative variation and will <br /> detail how Curveship provides these new capabilities.<br /> <br /> == Submissions ==<br /> <br /> Submissions should describe original, unpublished work. Papers are limited to 8 pages. The style files can be found here: [http://clear.colorado.edu/NAACLHLT2009/stylefiles.html]. No author information should be included in the papers, since reviewing will be blind. Papers not conforming to these requirements are subject to rejection without review. Papers should be submitted via START [https://www.softconf.com/naacl-hlt09/CALC2009/submit.html] in the .PDF format.<br /> <br /> We encourage submissions from everyone. For those who are new to ACL conferences and workshops, or with special needs, we are planning to set up a lunch mentoring program. Let us know if you are interested.<br /> <br /> == Travel Grants ==<br /> <br /> We are happy to announce that up to '''eight (8)''' travel grants can be awarded to CALC-09 participants, thanks to NSF award #IIS-0906244.<br /> <br /> Candidates must apply by sending the workshop chairs a short motivation statement.

<p>Loenneker: /* Submissions */</p> <hr /> <div>== Workshop on Computational Approaches to Linguistic Creativity ==<br /> <br /> It is generally agreed upon that "linguistic creativity" is a unique<br /> property of human language. Some claim that linguistic creativity is<br /> expressed in our ability to combine known words in a new sentence,<br /> others refer to our skill to express thoughts in figurative language,<br /> and yet others talk about syntactic recursion and lexical creativity.<br /> <br /> For the purpose of this workshop, we treat the term "linguistic<br /> creativity" to mean "creative language usage at different levels", from<br /> the lexicon to syntax to discourse and text (see also topics and references, below).<br /> <br /> The recognition of instances of linguistic creativity and the<br /> computation of their meaning constitute one of the most challenging<br /> problems for a variety of Natural Language Processing tasks, such as<br /> machine translation, text summarization, information retrieval, question<br /> answering, and sentiment analysis. Computational systems incorporating<br /> models of linguistic creativity operate on different types of data<br /> (including written text, audio/speech/sound, and video/images/gestures).<br /> New approaches might combine information from different modalities.<br /> Creativity-aware systems will improve the contribution Computational<br /> Linguistics has to offer to many practical areas, including education,<br /> entertainment, and engineering.<br /> <br /> Within the scope of the workshop, the event is intended to be<br /> interdisciplinary. Besides contributions from an NLP perspective, we also welcome the<br /> participation of researchers who deal with linguistic creativity from different<br /> perspectives, including psychology, neuroscience, or human-computer interaction.<br /> <br /> ==Location==<br /> <br /> [[Image:BoulderBearPeak.jpg|frame|View of Boulder from Bear Peak. University of Colorado at the far left.]]<br /> The CALC-09 workshop will be held in conjunction with [http://www.naaclhlt2009.org NAACL HLT 2009] in Boulder, Colorado, on June 4, 2009.<br /> <br /> ==Topics==<br /> <br /> We are particularly interested in work on the automatic detection, classification, understanding, or generation of:<br /> <br /> * neologisms;<br /> * figurative language, including metaphor, metonymy, personification, idioms;<br /> * new or unconventional syntactic constructions ("May I serve who's next?") and constructions defying traditional parsers (e.g. gapping: "Many words were spoken, and sentiments expressed");<br /> * indirect speech acts (such as curses, insults, sarcasm and irony);<br /> * verbally expressed humor;<br /> * poetry and fiction;<br /> * and other phenomena illustrating linguistic creativity.<br /> <br /> Depending on the state of the art of approaches to the various phenomena and languages, preference will be given to work on deeper processing (e.g., understanding, goal-driven generation) rather than shallow approaches (e.g., binary classication, random generation). We also welcome descriptions and discussions of:<br /> <br /> * computational tools that support people in using language creatively (e.g. tools for computer-assisted creative writing, intelligent thesauri);<br /> * computational and/or cognitive models of linguistic creativity;<br /> * metrics and tools for evaluating the performance of creativity-aware systems;<br /> * specific application scenarios of computational linguistic creativity;<br /> * design and implementation of creativity-aware systems.<br /> <br /> Related topics, including corpora collection, elicitation, and annotation of creative language usage, will also be considered, as long as their relevance to automatic systems is clearly pointed out.<br /> <br /> A (non-exhaustive) list of recent references is provided below to further illustrate the range of possible workshop topics.<br /> <br /> == Invited Speaker==<br /> [http://nickm.com/ Nick Montfort], MIT<br /> <br /> === '''Curveship: A System for Interactive Fiction and Interactive Narrating'''===<br /> <br /> Interactive fiction (often called "IF") is a venerable thread of creative <br /> computing that includes ''Adventure'', ''Zork'', and the computer game ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' as well as innovative recent work. These <br /> programs are usually known as "games," appropriately, but they can also be <br /> rich forms of text-based computer simulation, dialog systems, and examples <br /> of computational literary art. Theorists of narrative have long <br /> distinguished between the level of underlying content or story (which can <br /> usefully be seen as corresponding to the simulated world in interactive <br /> fiction) and that of expression or discourse (corresponding to the textual <br /> exchange between computer and user). While IF development systems have <br /> offered a great deal of power and flexibility to author/programmers by <br /> providing a computational model of the fictional world, previous systems <br /> have not systematically distinguished between the telling and what is <br /> told. Developers were not able to control the content and expression <br /> levels independently so that they could, for instance, have a program <br /> relate events out of chronological order or have it relate events from the <br /> perspective of different characters. Curveship is an interactive fiction <br /> system which draws on narrative theory and computational linguistics to <br /> allow the transformation of the narrating in these ways. This talk will <br /> briefly describe interactive fiction and narrative variation and will <br /> detail how Curveship provides these new capabilities.<br /> <br /> == Submissions ==<br /> <br /> Submissions should describe original, unpublished work. Papers are limited to 8 pages. The style files can be found here: [http://clear.colorado.edu/NAACLHLT2009/stylefiles.html]. No author information should be included in the papers, since reviewing will be blind. Papers not conforming to these requirements are subject to rejection without review. Papers should be submitted via START [https://www.softconf.com/naacl-hlt09/CALC2009/submit.html] in the .PDF format.<br /> <br /> We encourage submissions from everyone. For those who are new to ACL conferences and workshops, or with special needs, we are planning to set up a lunch mentoring program. Let us know if you are interested.<br /> <br /> == Travel Grants ==<br /> <br /> We are happy to announce that up to '''eight (8)''' travel grants can be awarded to CALC-09 participants, thanks to NSF award #IIS-0906244.<br /> <br /> Candidates must apply by sending the workshop chairs a short motivation statement. The statement should be submitted electronically to the workshop organizers (Anna Feldman [feldmana at mail.montclair.edu] and Birte Loenneker-Rodman [birte.loenneker at uni-hamburg.de]), by '''April 12, 2009'''.<br /> <br /> The following criteria will be considered when selecting the awardees:<br /> <br /> # paper accepted for presentation at the CALC-09 workshop (single author, first author, or co-author, preferably with other students only);<br /> # if not from the U.S., resident of a hard-currency problem country as defined by ACL (Mexico, Central or South America, Asia (excluding Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, and Singapore), Africa, Central/Eastern Europe (countries east of Finland, Germany, Austria, or Italy and north of Greece and Turkey));<br /> # especially if from the U.S., minority background (e.g., based on gender, disabilities, race);<br /> # absence of other means of funding, as documented by the applicants;<br /> # status (full-time students have precedence over any other category).<br /> <br /> If the number of eligible applicants exceeds the number of available travel funds, the decision will be based on a)<br /> the quality of the paper as judged by the reviewers and by the workshop organizers, in conjunction with b) the submitted motivation statement.<br /> <br /> Consequently, travel grants to participants in the CALC workshop who do not have a paper at CALC can be awarded only in very exceptional cases. Please contact the workshop organizers before applying.<br /> <br /> == Important Dates (Please Note Extended Deadline) ==<br /> <br /> * Nov 1, 2008: 1st Call for papers issued<br /> * Jan 15, 2009: 2nd Call for papers issued<br /> * Feb 15, 2009: 3rd and final CFP<br /> * <s><del>Feb 27, 2009</del></s> '''Mar 5, 2009''': Deadline for paper submissions<br /> * Mar 30, 2009: Notification of paper acceptances<br /> * Apr 12, 2009: Camera-ready copies due<br /> * ~ Apr 26, 2009: Call for participation<br /> * '''June 4, 2009''': CALC-09 workshop at NAACL HLT 2009<br /> <br /> == Organizers ==<br /> * [http://chss.montclair.edu/~feldmana/ Anna Feldman], Montclair State University (anna.feldman@montclair.edu)<br /> * [http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/~loenneke/ Birte Loenneker-Rodman], International Computer Science Institute/University of Hamburg, Germany (birte.loenneker@uni-hamburg.de)<br /> <br /> == Program Committee ==<br /> * [http://lingcog.iit.edu/~argamon/ Shlomo Argamon], Illinois Institute of Technology;<br /> * [http://art.uniroma2.it/basili/ Roberto Basili], University of Roma, Italy;<br /> * [http://ailab.dei.uc.pt/view_member.php?id_m=99 Amilcar Cardoso], University of Coimbra, Portugal;<br /> * [http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~afsaneh/ Afsaneh Fazly], University of Toronto, Canada;<br /> * [http://www.chss.montclair.edu/linguistics/lingpage/faculty/fitz/fitz.htm Eileen Fitzpatrick], Montclair State University;<br /> * [http://nil.fdi.ucm.es/index.php/Pablo_Gerv%C3%A1s Pablo Gervas], Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain;<br /> * [http://weblamp.princeton.edu/~psych/psychology/research/glucksberg/index.php Sam Glucksberg], Princeton University;<br /> * [http://www.isi.edu/~hobbs/ Jerry Hobbs], ISI, Marina del Rey;<br /> * [http://www.wcas.northwestern.edu/psych/people/faculty/faculty_individual_pages/Horton.htm Sid Horton], Northwestern University;<br /> * [http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~diana/ Diana Inkpen], University of Ottawa, Canada;<br /> * [http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~mgl/ Mark Lee], University of Birmingham, UK;<br /> * [http://larifari.org/about/ Hugo Liu], MIT;<br /> * [http://www.personal.psu.edu/xxl13/ Xiaofei Lu], Penn State;<br /> * [http://telaga.cs.ui.ac.id/~maruli/ Ruli Manurung], University of Indonesia;<br /> * [http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/markert/ Katja Markert], University of Leeds, UK;<br /> * [http://www.cse.unt.edu/~rada/ Rada Mihalcea], University of North Texas;<br /> * [http://wwwhome.cs.utwente.nl/~anijholt/ Anton Nijholt], University of Twente, The Netherlands;<br /> * [http://www.cs.northwestern.edu/~ortony/Andrew%20Ortony.html Andrew Ortony], Northwestern University;<br /> * [http://www.cs.memphis.edu/~vrus/ Vasile Rus], The University of Memphis;<br /> * [http://cslu.cse.ogi.edu/people/sproatr/ Richard Sproat], University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign/Oregon Health and Science University;<br /> * [http://www.let.vu.nl/nl/organisatie-van-de-faculteit/wetenschappelijk-personeel/medewerkers-alfabetisch/medewerkers-l-s/prof-dr-g-j-steen/index.asp Gerard Steen], Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands;<br /> * [http://tcc.itc.it/people/strapparava.html Carlo Strapparava], Istituto per la Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica, Trento, Italy;<br /> * [http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~trouvain/index.html Juergen Trouvain], Saarland University, Germany.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> Here are some recent papers, related to the topics of the CALC-2009 workshop.<br /> <br /> * Bruno Cartoni (2008): [http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2008/pdf/247_paper.pdf "Lexical Resources for Automatic Translation of Constructed Neologisms: the Case Study of Relational Adjectives."] In ''Proceedings of LREC 2008'', Marrakech, Morocco, May 28-30, 2008.

<p>Loenneker: /* Invited Speaker */</p> <hr /> <div>== Workshop on Computational Approaches to Linguistic Creativity ==<br /> <br /> It is generally agreed upon that "linguistic creativity" is a unique<br /> property of human language. Some claim that linguistic creativity is<br /> expressed in our ability to combine known words in a new sentence,<br /> others refer to our skill to express thoughts in figurative language,<br /> and yet others talk about syntactic recursion and lexical creativity.<br /> <br /> For the purpose of this workshop, we treat the term "linguistic<br /> creativity" to mean "creative language usage at different levels", from<br /> the lexicon to syntax to discourse and text (see also topics and references, below).<br /> <br /> The recognition of instances of linguistic creativity and the<br /> computation of their meaning constitute one of the most challenging<br /> problems for a variety of Natural Language Processing tasks, such as<br /> machine translation, text summarization, information retrieval, question<br /> answering, and sentiment analysis. Computational systems incorporating<br /> models of linguistic creativity operate on different types of data<br /> (including written text, audio/speech/sound, and video/images/gestures).<br /> New approaches might combine information from different modalities.<br /> Creativity-aware systems will improve the contribution Computational<br /> Linguistics has to offer to many practical areas, including education,<br /> entertainment, and engineering.<br /> <br /> Within the scope of the workshop, the event is intended to be<br /> interdisciplinary. Besides contributions from an NLP perspective, we also welcome the<br /> participation of researchers who deal with linguistic creativity from different<br /> perspectives, including psychology, neuroscience, or human-computer interaction.<br /> <br /> ==Location==<br /> <br /> [[Image:BoulderBearPeak.jpg|frame|View of Boulder from Bear Peak. University of Colorado at the far left.]]<br /> The CALC-09 workshop will be held in conjunction with [http://www.naaclhlt2009.org NAACL HLT 2009] in Boulder, Colorado, on June 4, 2009.<br /> <br /> ==Topics==<br /> <br /> We are particularly interested in work on the automatic detection, classification, understanding, or generation of:<br /> <br /> * neologisms;<br /> * figurative language, including metaphor, metonymy, personification, idioms;<br /> * new or unconventional syntactic constructions ("May I serve who's next?") and constructions defying traditional parsers (e.g. gapping: "Many words were spoken, and sentiments expressed");<br /> * indirect speech acts (such as curses, insults, sarcasm and irony);<br /> * verbally expressed humor;<br /> * poetry and fiction;<br /> * and other phenomena illustrating linguistic creativity.<br /> <br /> Depending on the state of the art of approaches to the various phenomena and languages, preference will be given to work on deeper processing (e.g., understanding, goal-driven generation) rather than shallow approaches (e.g., binary classication, random generation). We also welcome descriptions and discussions of:<br /> <br /> * computational tools that support people in using language creatively (e.g. tools for computer-assisted creative writing, intelligent thesauri);<br /> * computational and/or cognitive models of linguistic creativity;<br /> * metrics and tools for evaluating the performance of creativity-aware systems;<br /> * specific application scenarios of computational linguistic creativity;<br /> * design and implementation of creativity-aware systems.<br /> <br /> Related topics, including corpora collection, elicitation, and annotation of creative language usage, will also be considered, as long as their relevance to automatic systems is clearly pointed out.<br /> <br /> A (non-exhaustive) list of recent references is provided below to further illustrate the range of possible workshop topics.<br /> <br /> == Invited Speaker==<br /> [http://nickm.com/ Nick Montfort], MIT<br /> <br /> === Abstract ===<br /> <br /> '''Curveship: A System for Interactive Fiction and Interactive Narrating'''<br /> <br /> Interactive fiction (often called "IF") is a venerable thread of creative <br /> computing that includes ''Adventure'', ''Zork'', and the computer game ''The <br /> Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' as well as innovative recent work. These <br /> programs are usually known as "games," appropriately, but they can also be <br /> rich forms of text-based computer simulation, dialog systems, and examples <br /> of computational literary art. Theorists of narrative have long <br /> distinguished between the level of underlying content or story (which can <br /> usefully be seen as corresponding to the simulated world in interactive <br /> fiction) and that of expression or discourse (corresponding to the textual <br /> exchange between computer and user). While IF development systems have <br /> offered a great deal of power and flexibility to author/programmers by <br /> providing a computational model of the fictional world, previous systems <br /> have not systematically distinguished between the telling and what is <br /> told. Developers were not able to control the content and expression <br /> levels independently so that they could, for instance, have a program <br /> relate events out of chronological order or have it relate events from the <br /> perspective of different characters. Curveship is an interactive fiction <br /> system which draws on narrative theory and computational linguistics to <br /> allow the transformation of the narrating in these ways. This talk will <br /> briefly describe interactive fiction and narrative variation and will <br /> detail how Curveship provides these new capabilities.<br /> <br /> == Submissions ==<br /> <br /> Submissions should describe original, unpublished work.

<p>Loenneker: /* References */</p> <hr /> <div>== Workshop on Computational Approaches to Linguistic Creativity ==<br /> <br /> It is generally agreed upon that "linguistic creativity" is a unique<br /> property of human language. Some claim that linguistic creativity is<br /> expressed in our ability to combine known words in a new sentence,<br /> others refer to our skill to express thoughts in figurative language,<br /> and yet others talk about syntactic recursion and lexical creativity.<br /> <br /> For the purpose of this workshop, we treat the term "linguistic<br /> creativity" to mean "creative language usage at different levels", from<br /> the lexicon to syntax to discourse and text (see also topics and references, below).<br /> <br /> The recognition of instances of linguistic creativity and the<br /> computation of their meaning constitute one of the most challenging<br /> problems for a variety of Natural Language Processing tasks, such as<br /> machine translation, text summarization, information retrieval, question<br /> answering, and sentiment analysis. Computational systems incorporating<br /> models of linguistic creativity operate on different types of data<br /> (including written text, audio/speech/sound, and video/images/gestures).<br /> New approaches might combine information from different modalities.<br /> Creativity-aware systems will improve the contribution Computational<br /> Linguistics has to offer to many practical areas, including education,<br /> entertainment, and engineering.<br /> <br /> Within the scope of the workshop, the event is intended to be<br /> interdisciplinary. Besides contributions from an NLP perspective, we also welcome the<br /> participation of researchers who deal with linguistic creativity from different<br /> perspectives, including psychology, neuroscience, or human-computer interaction.<br /> <br /> ==Location==<br /> <br /> [[Image:BoulderBearPeak.jpg|frame|View of Boulder from Bear Peak. University of Colorado at the far left.]]<br /> The CALC-09 workshop will be held in conjunction with [http://www.naaclhlt2009.org NAACL HLT 2009] in Boulder, Colorado, on June 4, 2009.<br /> <br /> ==Topics==<br /> <br /> We are particularly interested in work on the automatic detection, classification, understanding, or generation of:<br /> <br /> * neologisms;<br /> * figurative language, including metaphor, metonymy, personification, idioms;<br /> * new or unconventional syntactic constructions ("May I serve who's next?") and constructions defying traditional parsers (e.g. gapping: "Many words were spoken, and sentiments expressed");<br /> * indirect speech acts (such as curses, insults, sarcasm and irony);<br /> * verbally expressed humor;<br /> * poetry and fiction;<br /> * and other phenomena illustrating linguistic creativity.<br /> <br /> Depending on the state of the art of approaches to the various phenomena and languages, preference will be given to work on deeper processing (e.g., understanding, goal-driven generation) rather than shallow approaches (e.g., binary classication, random generation). We also welcome descriptions and discussions of:<br /> <br /> * computational tools that support people in using language creatively (e.g. tools for computer-assisted creative writing, intelligent thesauri);<br /> * computational and/or cognitive models of linguistic creativity;<br /> * metrics and tools for evaluating the performance of creativity-aware systems;<br /> * specific application scenarios of computational linguistic creativity;<br /> * design and implementation of creativity-aware systems.<br /> <br /> Related topics, including corpora collection, elicitation, and annotation of creative language usage, will also be considered, as long as their relevance to automatic systems is clearly pointed out.<br /> <br /> A (non-exhaustive) list of recent references is provided below to further illustrate the range of possible workshop topics.<br /> <br /> == Invited Speaker==<br /> [http://nickm.com/ Nick Montfort], MIT<br /> <br /> == Submissions ==<br /> <br /> Submissions should describe original, unpublished work. Papers are limited to 8 pages. The style files can be found here: [http://clear.colorado.edu/NAACLHLT2009/stylefiles.html]. No author information should be included in the papers, since reviewing will be blind. Papers not conforming to these requirements are subject to rejection without review. Papers should be submitted via START [https://www.softconf.com/naacl-hlt09/CALC2009/submit.html] in the .PDF format.<br /> <br /> We encourage submissions from everyone.

<p>Loenneker: /* References */</p> <hr /> <div>== Workshop on Computational Approaches to Linguistic Creativity ==<br /> <br /> It is generally agreed upon that "linguistic creativity" is a unique<br /> property of human language. Some claim that linguistic creativity is<br /> expressed in our ability to combine known words in a new sentence,<br /> others refer to our skill to express thoughts in figurative language,<br /> and yet others talk about syntactic recursion and lexical creativity.<br /> <br /> For the purpose of this workshop, we treat the term "linguistic<br /> creativity" to mean "creative language usage at different levels", from<br /> the lexicon to syntax to discourse and text (see also topics, below).<br /> <br /> The recognition of instances of linguistic creativity and the<br /> computation of their meaning constitute one of the most challenging<br /> problems for a variety of Natural Language Processing tasks, such as<br /> machine translation, text summarization, information retrieval, question<br /> answering, and sentiment analysis. Computational systems incorporating<br /> models of linguistic creativity operate on different types of data<br /> (including written text, audio/speech/sound, and video/images/gestures).<br /> New approaches might combine information from different modalities.<br /> Creativity-aware systems will improve the contribution Computational<br /> Linguistics has to offer to many practical areas, including education,<br /> entertainment, and engineering.<br /> <br /> Within the scope of the workshop, the event is intended to be<br /> interdisciplinary. Besides contributions from an NLP perspective, we also welcome the<br /> participation of researchers who deal with linguistic creativity from different<br /> perspectives, including psychology, neuroscience, or human-computer interaction.<br /> <br /> ==Location==<br /> <br /> [[Image:BoulderBearPeak.jpg|frame|View of Boulder from Bear Peak.

We also welcome descriptions and discussions of:<br /> <br /> * computational tools that support people in using language creatively (e.g. tools for computer-assisted creative writing, intelligent thesauri);<br /> * computational and/or cognitive models of linguistic creativity;<br /> * metrics and tools for evaluating the performance of creativity-aware systems;<br /> * specific application scenarios of computational linguistic creativity;<br /> * design and implementation of creativity-aware systems.<br /> <br /> Related topics, including corpora collection, elicitation, and annotation of creative language usage, will also be considered, as long as their relevance to automatic systems is clearly pointed out.<br /> <br /> == Invited Speaker==<br /> [http://nickm.com/ Nick Montfort], MIT<br /> <br /> == Submissions ==<br /> <br /> Submissions should describe original, unpublished work.

<p>Loenneker: /* References */</p> <hr /> <div>== Workshop on Computational Approaches to Linguistic Creativity ==<br /> <br /> It is generally agreed upon that "linguistic creativity" is a unique<br /> property of human language. Some claim that linguistic creativity is<br /> expressed in our ability to combine known words in a new sentence,<br /> others refer to our skill to express thoughts in figurative language,<br /> and yet others talk about syntactic recursion and lexical creativity.<br /> <br /> For the purpose of this workshop, we treat the term "linguistic<br /> creativity" to mean "creative language usage at different levels", from<br /> the lexicon to syntax to discourse and text (see also topics, below).<br /> <br /> The recognition of instances of linguistic creativity and the<br /> computation of their meaning constitute one of the most challenging<br /> problems for a variety of Natural Language Processing tasks, such as<br /> machine translation, text summarization, information retrieval, question<br /> answering, and sentiment analysis. Computational systems incorporating<br /> models of linguistic creativity operate on different types of data<br /> (including written text, audio/speech/sound, and video/images/gestures).<br /> New approaches might combine information from different modalities.<br /> Creativity-aware systems will improve the contribution Computational<br /> Linguistics has to offer to many practical areas, including education,<br /> entertainment, and engineering.<br /> <br /> Within the scope of the workshop, the event is intended to be<br /> interdisciplinary.

Some claim that linguistic creativity is<br /> expressed in our ability to combine known words in a new sentence,<br /> others refer to our skill to express thoughts in figurative language,<br /> and yet others talk about syntactic recursion and lexical creativity.<br /> <br /> For the purpose of this workshop, we treat the term "linguistic<br /> creativity" to mean "creative language usage at different levels", from<br /> the lexicon to syntax to discourse and text (see also topics, below).<br /> <br /> The recognition of instances of linguistic creativity and the<br /> computation of their meaning constitute one of the most challenging<br /> problems for a variety of Natural Language Processing tasks, such as<br /> machine translation, text summarization, information retrieval, question<br /> answering, and sentiment analysis. Computational systems incorporating<br /> models of linguistic creativity operate on different types of data<br /> (including written text, audio/speech/sound, and video/images/gestures).<br /> New approaches might combine information from different modalities.<br /> Creativity-aware systems will improve the contribution Computational<br /> Linguistics has to offer to many practical areas, including education,<br /> entertainment, and engineering.<br /> <br /> Within the scope of the workshop, the event is intended to be<br /> interdisciplinary.

<p>Loenneker: /* Location */</p> <hr /> <div>== Workshop on Computational Approaches to Linguistic Creativity ==<br /> <br /> It is generally agreed upon that "linguistic creativity" is a unique<br /> property of human language. Some claim that linguistic creativity is<br /> expressed in our ability to combine known words in a new sentence,<br /> others refer to our skill to express thoughts in figurative language,<br /> and yet others talk about syntactic recursion and lexical creativity.<br /> <br /> For the purpose of this workshop, we treat the term "linguistic<br /> creativity" to mean "creative language usage at different levels", from<br /> the lexicon to syntax to discourse and text (see also topics, below).<br /> <br /> The recognition of instances of linguistic creativity and the<br /> computation of their meaning constitute one of the most challenging<br /> problems for a variety of Natural Language Processing tasks, such as<br /> machine translation, text summarization, information retrieval, question<br /> answering, and sentiment analysis. Computational systems incorporating<br /> models of linguistic creativity operate on different types of data<br /> (including written text, audio/speech/sound, and video/images/gestures).<br /> New approaches might combine information from different modalities.<br /> Creativity-aware systems will improve the contribution Computational<br /> Linguistics has to offer to many practical areas, including education,<br /> entertainment, and engineering.<br /> <br /> Within the scope of the workshop, the event is intended to be<br /> interdisciplinary.

<p>Loenneker: </p> <hr /> <div>== Workshop on Computational Approaches to Linguistic Creativity ==<br /> <br /> It is generally agreed upon that "linguistic creativity" is a unique<br /> property of human language. Some claim that linguistic creativity is<br /> expressed in our ability to combine known words in a new sentence,<br /> others refer to our skill to express thoughts in figurative language,<br /> and yet others talk about syntactic recursion and lexical creativity.<br /> <br /> For the purpose of this workshop, we treat the term "linguistic<br /> creativity" to mean "creative language usage at different levels", from<br /> the lexicon to syntax to discourse and text (see also topics, below).<br /> <br /> The recognition of instances of linguistic creativity and the<br /> computation of their meaning constitute one of the most challenging<br /> problems for a variety of Natural Language Processing tasks, such as<br /> machine translation, text summarization, information retrieval, question<br /> answering, and sentiment analysis. Computational systems incorporating<br /> models of linguistic creativity operate on different types of data<br /> (including written text, audio/speech/sound, and video/images/gestures).<br /> New approaches might combine information from different modalities.<br /> Creativity-aware systems will improve the contribution Computational<br /> Linguistics has to offer to many practical areas, including education,<br /> entertainment, and engineering.<br /> <br /> Within the scope of the workshop, the event is intended to be<br /> interdisciplinary. Besides contributions from an NLP perspective, we also welcome the<br /> participation of researchers who deal with linguistic creativity from different<br /> perspectives, including psychology, neuroscience, or human-computer interaction.<br /> <br /> ==Location==<br /> <br /> The CALC-09 workshop will be held in conjunction with [http://www.naaclhlt2009.org NAACL HLT 2009] in Boulder, Colorado.<br /> <br /> ==Topics==<br /> <br /> We are particularly interested in work on the automatic detection, classification, understanding, or generation of:<br /> <br /> * neologisms;<br /> * figurative language, including metaphor, metonymy, personification, idioms;<br /> * new or unconventional syntactic constructions ("May I serve who's next?") and constructions defying traditional parsers (e.g. gapping: "Many words were spoken, and sentiments expressed");<br /> * indirect speech acts (such as curses, insults, sarcasm and irony);<br /> * verbally expressed humor;<br /> * poetry and fiction;<br /> * and other phenomena illustrating linguistic creativity.<br /> <br /> Depending on the state of the art of approaches to the various phenomena and languages, preference will be given to work on deeper processing (e.g., understanding, goal-driven generation) rather than shallow approaches (e.g., binary classication, random generation).

Some claim that linguistic creativity is<br /> expressed in our ability to combine known words in a new sentence,<br /> others refer to our skill to express thoughts in figurative language,<br /> and yet others talk about syntactic recursion and lexical creativity.<br /> <br /> For the purpose of this workshop, we treat the term "linguistic<br /> creativity" to mean "creative language usage at different levels", from<br /> the lexicon to syntax to discourse and text (see also topics, below).<br /> <br /> The recognition of instances of linguistic creativity and the<br /> computation of their meaning constitute one of the most challenging<br /> problems for a variety of Natural Language Processing tasks, such as<br /> machine translation, text summarization, information retrieval, question<br /> answering, and sentiment analysis. Computational systems incorporating<br /> models of linguistic creativity operate on different types of data<br /> (including written text, audio/speech/sound, and video/images/gestures).<br /> New approaches might combine information from different modalities.<br /> Creativity-aware systems will improve the contribution Computational<br /> Linguistics has to offer to many practical areas, including education,<br /> entertainment, and engineering.<br /> <br /> Within the scope of the workshop, the event is intended to be<br /> interdisciplinary. Besides contributions from an NLP perspective, we also welcome the<br /> participation of researchers who deal with linguistic creativity from different<br /> perspectives, including psychology, neuroscience, or human-computer interaction.<br /> <br /> ==Location==<br /> <br /> The CALC-09 workshop will be held in conjunction with [http://www.naaclhlt2009.org NAACL HLT 2009] in Boulder, Colorado.<br /> <br /> ==Topics==<br /> <br /> We are particularly interested in work on the automatic detection, classi<br /> cation, understanding, <br /> or generation of:<br /> <br /> * neologisms;<br /> * figurative language, including metaphor, metonymy, personication, idioms;<br /> * new or unconventional syntactic constructions ("May I serve who's next?") and constructions defying traditional parsers (e.g. gapping: "Many words were spoken, and<br /> sentiments expressed");<br /> * indirect speech acts (such as curses, insults, sarcasm and irony);<br /> * verbally expressed humor;<br /> * poetry and fiction;<br /> * and other phenomena illustrating linguistic creativity.<br /> <br /> Depending on the state of the art of approaches to the various phenomena and<br /> languages,<br /> preference will be given to work on deeper processing (e.g., understanding,<br /> goal-driven generation)<br /> rather than shallow approaches (e.g., binary classication, random<br /> generation).
