EACL-99 Post-Conference Workshop on
LINGUISTICALLY INTERPRETED CORPORA (LINC-99)
June 12th, 1999

BACKGROUND:
Large linguistically interpreted (annotated) corpora are urgently
needed in an increasing number of projects in the field of
computational linguistics. Many groups have started to create corpus
resources for a variety of languages. These corpora are used for a
broad range of different applications and theoretical investigations.
We aim at bringing together these activities in order to facilitate
advanced and efficient corpus annotation, in order to provide re-usable
resources.
AIM:
The aim of the workshop is to exchange and propagate research results
in the field of corpus annotation, taking into account different types
of information (morphology, syntax, semantics, discourse, ...). We
invite submissions of papers constituting substantial, original, and
unpublished work on all aspects of linguistically interpreted corpora,
including, but not limited to:
- creation of practical annotation schemes
- efficient annotation techniques
- automation of corpus annotation
- tools supporting annotation
- consistency checking of corpora
- browsing corpora and searching for instances of linguistic phenomena
