                LINGUISTICALLY INTERPRETED CORPORA (LINC-2000)

                     A workshop to be held at Coling 2000
        the 18th International Conference on Computational Linguistics

                          Luxembourg, 6 August 2000

    ORGANIZED BY:

    Anne Abeille (IUF & Talana, Paris)
    Thorsten Brants (Saarland University)
    Hans Uszkoreit (Saarland University and DFKI Saarbruecken)

    TOPIC AND MOTIVATION:

    Large linguistically interpreted (annotated) corpora are urgently
    needed in an increasing number of projects in the field of
    computational linguistics. Many groups are currently creating corpus
    resources for a variety of languages. These corpora are used for a
    broad range of different applications and theoretical
    investigations. We aim to bring together these activities in order to
    facilitate advanced and efficient corpus annotations which will
    provide are-usable resources.

    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. The Workshop on Linguistically Interpreted Corpora
    focues on
    - tools & techniques for syntactic annotation,
    - tagging and parsing methods that aim at semi-automatic annotation,
    - error detection and correction,
    - inter-annotator-agreement,
    - representation formats and standards,
    - browsing corpora and searching for instances of linguistic phenomena,

    PLEASE NOTE: Submissions on semantic annotation should not be submitted
                 to this workshop, but rather to the COLING Workshop on
                 Semantic Annotation and Intelligent Content.
