ESSLLI-2002 Workshop on
Machine Learning Approaches in Computational Linguistics
August 5-9, 2002
A workshop held as part of the
14th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
ESSLLI-2002
Trento, Italy
August 5-16, 2002
** Second CALL FOR PAPERS **
ORGANIZERS: Erhard Hinrichs, Sandra Kuebler (Universitaet Tuebingen)
DESCRIPTION:
Over the last decade, machine learning approaches have established
themselves as an important subfield of computational linguistics. The
resulting body of research is characterized by a wide range of
techniques. These techniques have been successfully applied to a
variety of natural language annotation tasks, such as part-of-speech
tagging, shallow and deep parsing, word sense disambiguation, anaphora
resolution, PP attachment.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for these junior
researchers to present their work and discuss the relative merits of
their machine learning approaches as they apply to natural language
phenomena.
Possible learning approaches are:
* inductive logic programming
* memory-based learning
* transformation-based learning
* decision trees
* information-theoretic approaches such as maximum entropy models,
Markov models
* genetic algorithms
* connectionist learning
SUBMISSION:
All researchers in the area, but especially Ph.D. students and young
researchers, are invited to submit a paper. Electronic submissions are
highly encouraged (preferably as plain ASCII or Postscript).
Submissions should not exceed 10 (A4 or letter) pages, typeset in
10-12 points, with at least 2.5 cm / 1 inch margins. Submitted papers
should be anonymous and be accompanied by an e-mail listing the
following details:
- Title
- Authors' names and affiliation
- Address
- E-mail addresses
All submissions will be reviewed by an international program committee.
The accepted papers will be made available in a summer school reader.
If sufficiently many high-quality papers are submitted, we intend to
publish them in an edited volume.
Submissions should be sent before March 15, 2000 to the following
address:
Sandra Kuebler
