AN ACL-SIGLEX WORKSHOP
ON UNSUPERVISED LEXICAL ACQUISITION
Friday 12 July 2002
Philadelphia
Workshop website:
http://research.microsoft.com/LexicalAcquisition-ACL02
ACL 2002 website: http://www.acl02.org
This workshop will be a forum for the presentation of new work in the
field of unsupervised or minimally supervised lexical learning, as well
as an opportunity to survey the state of the art. In addition to novel
approaches to the acquisition of subcategorization or translation
information, we will welcome and encourage papers that address the
coverage of all aspects of the lexicon, such as morphological, semantic,
or collocational information, as well as the identification of
out-of-vocabulary words and their lexical properties. Evaluation of
systems on public domain test sets, although not required, is strongly
encouraged.
We invite submissions on the following topics:
* Methods for unsupervised or minimally supervised lexical data
mining (machine learning, statistical, example- or rule-based, or
hybrid)
* Acquisition of morphological, syntactic, semantic, or
collocational information, or translation correspondences
* Acquisition of domain-specific lexical information for rapid
domain-switching
* Extending an existing lexicon or bootstrapping a lexicon
* Evaluating lexical learning methods
Papers can cover one or more of these areas. Papers including
demonstrations of implemented lexical learning tools are encouraged.
SUBMISSIONS
Papers should be submitted electronically in Postscript, PDF, or
Microsoft Word format to Joseph Pentheroudakis, at
josephp@microsoft.com.
Submissions should conform to the two-column format of ACL proceedings
and should not exceed eight (8) pages, including references. We
strongly recommend the use of ACL-2002 style files, available from the
