imag.fr>CALL FOR PARTICIPATION TO PAPILLON-2004 Workshop on Multilingual Lexical Databases Grenoble, August 30th-September 1st, 2004 immediatly after COLING 2004 Venue: IMAG Institute, Grenoble, France Overview Multilingual lexical databases are (i) databases for (ii) structured lexical data which can be used either (iii) by humans e.g. to define their own dictionaries or (iv) by natural language processing (NLP) applications. Such databases are now felt indispensable in language science with the advances of language engineering. Like databases in genomics, multilingual lexical databases need rich annotations; they are complex, and they evolve as time goes by. The Papillon project is a Web collaborative project with the aim to build an open source multilingual lexical database for several languages (French, German, English, Japanese, Lao, Malay, Thai and Vietnamese). The provided lexical information has to be rich enough for a human to be able to query and generate his/her own tailored dictionary (e.g. for language learning or for translation work) and for NLP applications to be able to extract a whole range of data or to directly exploit some particular data. The 2004 Papillon workshop, the fifth in a series of workshops organized every year by the Papillon members, will aim at identifying problems relevant to the multilingual-lexical-database community. The workshop aims to promote exchanges between practitioners from several fields and is thus open to anybody working in a domain pertaining to lexical databases such as: databases, man-machine interface for dictionaries, data annotation, XML, standardization of dictionaries or lexical data; lexicography, translation, computational linguistics, etc. Tentative Program The program will have a varied format, designed to maximize cross-fertilization among the various specialties, and to allow extended open discussion. Components of the program will include: - Tutorials on relevant models from linguistics, databases or annotation, e.g. the structure of lexical entries and semi-structured query languages; - Panel sessions on annotated text and lexicons (and possibly others); - Paper presentations reporting new research; - Demonstrations of systems for creating and/or managing lexical data.
