Workshop on 3D Visualisation of Natural Language
8-10 September 2010, Cardiff University, UK

Prof. Nikolaos Antonopoulos, University of Derby, UK

* Aims and Scope

Natural language understanding usually involves transforming language from one representation into another, for example, from one language into another language in machine translation, or from language to action in natural language interfaces where natural language commands are performed by a machine, or from language to visual representations in natural language visualisation. A language visualisation system understands natural language by transforming it from a linguistic form into a visual medium, such as a 3D scene or animation. The vital issues of natural language visualisation include representation of common sense knowledge, disambiguation, lexicons and ontology, spatial reasoning, animation generation, just to name a few. Currently, it is a quite new interdisciplinary subject emerging from the areas of natural language processing and computer graphics.

This half day workshop aims to provide a platform for researchers from around the globe to share their ideas, experience and research outcomes in natural language processing and 3D visualisation and to nurture interdisciplinary research on the new subject of language visualisation. Authors are invited to submit papers based upon academically rigorous research in both theoretical development and applied research. Papers should present original work that has not been published. Papers with real-world applications are especially welcome.

The published papers are expected to present high quality material that illustrates the broad range of exciting work being carried out across the work in natural language visualisation. Accepted papers for oral presentation in the workshop will be included in the main conference proceedings, which will be published by Springer LNCS/LNAI.

Subject Coverage

The main topic of the workshop is 3D visualisation of natural language. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1. 3D visualisation

• Computer animation

• Physically-based simulation

• Automatic 3D scene and animation generation

• Embodied Agents, Virtual Humans

2. Natural Language Processing, computational linguistics

• Natural language understanding

• Computational semantics

• Word sense disambiguation

• Knowledge representation, common sense knowledge representation

• Lexical semantics

• Ontology, lexicons

Instructions for Prospective Authors

All papers must be original, of high quality and of approximately 6–8 pages in length at the publication stage. Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

All papers will be peer-reviewed by the international program committee, and may be accepted for oral presentation. A guide for authors, templates, and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Springer Information for LNCS Authors webpage

(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0).

Full papers and other inquiries must be sent directly to the workshop chair Dr. Minhua Eunice Ma (m.ma@derby.ac.uk) in the form of a pdf file attached to an email.
