                          ESSLLI 2004 Workshop
                                   on
              Combining Shallow and Deep Processing for NLP
                  http://www.bultreebank.org/ComShaDeP
                       9th to 13th of August, 2004

                     A workshop held as part of the
         Sixteenth European Summer School in Logic, Language and
                       Information (ESSLLI-2004)
                       http://esslli2004.loria.fr
                  9th to 20th of August, Nancy, France

    Workshop Organizers:

    Erhard Hinrichs (University of Tuebingen)
    and
    Kiril Simov (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences)

    Workshop Purpose:

    Up until recently shallow and deep approaches to natural language
    processing were largely considered complementary, if not rival,
    paradigms in computational linguistics, serving different
    purposes and each facing their own limitations. Due to recent
    advances in statistical methods and machine learning approaches
    for NLP and in efficient processing algorithms for high-level
    grammar formalisms, there are now highly promising attempts to
    combine shallow and deep processing techniques: e.g. using
    part-of-speech tagging and/or chunk parsing as pre-processing
    steps for constraint-based parsing or for memory-based parsing.
    The workshop aims to provide a forum for advanced PhD students
    and researchers to present and discuss their work with colleagues
    and researchers who work in the broad subject areas represented
    at ESSLLI. While papers can be submitted by researchers at any
    rank, we particularly encourage submissions by junior researchers
    and PhD students.

    Workshop Topics:

    - language models for deep robust processing;
    - architecture for combining shallow and deep processing;
    - machine learning techniques for deep language processing;
    - definition of the connection between the levels of processing;
    - language resources for deep language processing;
    - software systems for implementation of hybrid architecture for
      language processing;
    - applications

    Submissions:

    Authors are invited to submit a full paper. Papers should
    describe existing research connected to the topics of the
    workshop. Submissions should not exceed 10 A4 pages. The
    following format are accepted: PDF, PS, MS Word, ASCII text.
    Each submission should provide the following information: title;
    author(s); affiliation(s); and contact author's e-mail address,
    postal address.

    The papers should be sent electronically to:

    Kiril Simov
    Email: kivs@bultreebank.org

    by the deadline listed below. The submissions will be reviewed by
    the workshop's programme committee. The accepted papers will
    appear in the workshop proceedings published by ESSLLI. The
    format of the final versions will be PDF, PS.

    Workshop Format:

    The workshop is part of ESSLLI and is open to all ESSLLI
    participants. It will consist of five 90-minute sessions held
    over five consecutive days in the first week of ESSLLI. The
    presentation at the workshop will be 45 minutes long (35 minutes
    for presentation and 10 minutes for questions and discussion).

    Invited Speakers:

    Detmar Meurers, Ohio State University
    Sandra Kuebler, Tuebingen University

    Program Committee:

    Sabine Buchholz, Toshiba Research Europe Ltd
    Herve Dejean, Xerox Research Centre Europe
    Anette Frank, DFKI
    Erhard W. Hinrichs, Tübingen University (co-chair)
    Josef van Genabith, Dublin City University
    Frank Keller, University of Edinburgh
    Sandra Kübler, Tübingen University
    Detmar Meurers, Ohio State University
    Petya Osenova, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences & Sofia University
    Adam Przepiorkowski, Polish Academy of Sciences
    Kiril Simov, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (co-chair)

    Important dates

    Deadline for the workshop abstract submission:
    5th March 2004

    Notification of acceptance
    19th April 2004

    Final version of the papers for the workshop proceedings
    15th May 2004

    Local Arrangements:

    All workshop participants including the presenters will be
    required to register for ESSLLI. The registration fee for authors
    presenting a paper will correspond to the early student/workshop
    speaker registration fee. Moreover, a number of additional fee
    waiver grants will be made available by the OC on a competitive
    basis and workshop participants are eligible to apply for those.
    There will be no reimbursement for travel costs and
    accommodation. Workshop speakers who have difficulty in finding
    funding should contact the local organizing committee to ask for
    the possibilities for a grant.
