FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Methods for the automatic acquisition of Language Resources and their evaluation methods To be held in conjunction with the 7th International Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC 2010) 23 May 2010, Mediterranean Conference Center, Valletta, Malta http://www.FlaReNet.eu/acquisition2010 Deadline for submission: 26 February 2010 While methods for the Automatic Production of Language Resources are being described in scientific papers, the proposed techniques and their results are somehow unrelated because the lack of a common forum where to share experiences and to compare results. FlaReNet Working Group on "Methods for the automatic construction and processing of Language Resources" in cooperation with FP7 projects: ACCURAT (Analysis and Evaluation of Comparable Corpora for Under Resourced Areas of Machine Translation), PANACEA (Platform for Automatic, Normalized Annotation and Cost-Effective Acquisition of Language Resources for Human Language Technologies) and TTC (Terminology Extraction, Translation Tools and Comparable Corpora) organizes this LREC workshop whose aim is to be the beginning of a series of meetings that will be an enduring forum where researchers in the field can exchange information and compare results. The two main objectives of the workshop are: * First, to start the compilation of information about current initiatives and available and proved applications for the automatic acquisition of Language Resources and, * Second, to start the creation of common materials for the evaluation and comparison of the results of these methods and techniques. This first workshop is organized in a series of presentation talks and an open poster session. For the open poster session, the organizers welcome contributions related to the techniques and applications of the automatic acquisition and production of language resources and their evaluation in one of the following areas: * Automatic extraction and pre-processing of corpus * Alignment techniques for parallel and comparable corpus * Bilingual dictionaries extraction, including terminological resources * Lexical Information Acquisition * Tree-bank automatic building * Grammar induction * Automatic acquisition of multimodal resources * Automatic acquisition of sign languages Poster papers (in the LREC format available at the conference web page and that should not be longer than 6 pages , references included) may describe past evaluation exercises as well as work in progress. Important dates Deadline for submission: 26 February 2010 Notification of acceptance: 18 March 2010 Final version due: 25 March 2010 Workshop: 23 May 2010 Submission Procedure Submission will be electronic using START paper submission software at the following link https://www.softconf.com/lrec2010/FLaReNetAcquisition2010/ When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. For further information on this new initiative, please refer to http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2010/?LREC2010-Map-of-Language-Resources."
