                                                                              EACL 2003 Workshop on:

                                                              “Evaluation Initiatives in Natural Language Processing:
                                                             are evaluation methods, metrics and resources reusable?”

                                                                         13 April 2003, Budapest, Hungary
                                                                  11th conference of the European Chapter of the

    This is a second call for papers for the EACL 2003 workshop on the reuse of evaluation resources. Details
    on this event can be found at the workshop's webpage: http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~katerina/EACL03-eval

    Topics of interest:
    We welcome submissions of both discussion-papers and papers presenting applied experiments relevant with
    -but not limited to- the following topics:

    - cross-fertilization of evaluation methods and metrics
    - reuse of resources for evaluation (corpora, evaluation tools etc.)
    - feasibility experiments for the reuse of established evaluation methods/metrics/resources in different NLP system types
    - reusability obstacles and the notion of compositionality of NLP tasks
    - evaluation needs and challenges for less strenuously evaluated system types (e.g. multimodal dialogue systems ),
       possible benefits from established evaluation practices
    - evaluation standards and reusability
    - reuse within big evaluation initiatives
    - application of e.g. Machine Translation methods to Information Retrieval: implications for evaluation

    Submission format:
    Submissions must be electronic only, and should consist of full papers of max. 8 pages (inclusive of references, tables,
    figures and equations). Authors are strongly encouraged to use the style-files suggested for the EACL main
    conference submissions at: http://ufal.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~hajic/eacl03/submission.html
