A full range of tasks, from (cross-lingual ) information retrieval to extraction of structured information from texts, could highly benefit from the availability of semantically structured terminological resources, extracted from specialized corpora. As a result, to bring out innovative solutions, terminology as a disciplin has to enrich and strengthen its links with related areas, including linguistics and computational linguistics, knowledge engineering and information sciences. More particularly, the links between the goals and methods of this pluridisciplinary approach to terminology and knowledge engineering should be emphasized: - Intensive use of corpus-based processing methods - Modeling of technical and scientific domains through the analysis of terminological networks identified in corpora - Definition and elaboration of terminological knowledge that could be used to improve major applications, such as computer-aided translation, document indexing and filtering, or corporate memory management. The TIA Conference aims at promoting convergence and synergy among such disciplines in order to develop and evaluate corpus-processing methodologies, requiring refined natural language processing and artificial intelligence techniques. The end results of those investigations should help build relevant terminological data for specific applications on a systematic basis. The 5th TIA Conference will be an opportunity to explore some of the unsolved problems raised in corpus-based acquisition of terminological data, in the analysis of lexical behavior in specialized corpora, in knowledge modeling and formalization of the resulting data. Topics of Interest - ---------- You are invited to submit a paper on the following topics: - Meaning theories and terminology - Exploitation of corpus-based term extraction - Methods for automatic terminology structuring - Use of terminological resources for building ontologies - Terminology and semantic web - Terminological resources for information retrieval - Problems of multilingual terminology; - Reusability and Standardization - Terminology and hypertext construction - New applications of computer-based terminology This TIA Conference, which follows TIA'95 (Villetaneuse), TIA'97 (Toulouse), TIA'99 (Nantes), and TIA '01 (Nancy) is organized by the TIA Working Group (http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/TIA/). This group gathers researchers in linguistics, artificial intelligence and natural language processing. It was created to allow a confrontation between the theoretical and methodological frameworks as well as between the practices developed in each discipline. Submitted papers (in French or in English) will be reviewed by an international program committee composed of members of the TIA Working Group and of invited experts.
