                 Linguistically Interpreted Corpora (LINC-04)

    ORGANIZED BY:

    Silvia Hansen-Schirra (Saarland University, Saarbrücken)
    Stephan Oepen (University of Oslo & CSLI, Stanford University)
    Hans Uszkoreit (Saarland University & DFKI, Saarbrücken)

    TOPIC AND MOTIVATION:

    Large linguistically interpreted corpora play an increasingly
    important role for machine learning, evaluation,
    psycholinguistics as well as theoretical linguistics. Many
    research groups are engaged in the creation of
    corpus resources annotated with
    morphological, syntactic, semantic and discourse
    information for a variety of languages. We aim to bring
    together these activities in order to identify and disseminate
    best practice in the development and utilization of
    linguistically interpreted corpora.

    The aim of the workshop is to exchange and propagate
    research results with resprect to the annotation,
    conversion and exploitation of corpora taking into account
    different applications and theoretical investigations in
    the field of language technology and research. We invite
    submissions of papers constituting substantial, original,
    and unpublished work on all aspects of linguistically
    interpreted corpora, including, but not limited to:
    - creation of practical annotation schemes
    - efficient annotation techniques
    - automation of corpus annotation
    - tools supporting corpus conversions
    - validation including consistency checking of corpora
    - browsing corpora and searching for instances of linguistic phenomena
    - relating actual annotation to contemporary linguistic theory
    - interpretation of quantitative results
    - use of annotated corpora in the automated induction of linguistic
    knowledge

    Rob Malouf, Assistant Professor at the Department of Linguistics and
    Oriental Languages at San Diego State University, will be our keynote
    speaker.
