3rd International Workshop on Paraphrasing (IWP2005)
http://nlp.nagaokaut.ac.jp/IWP2005/
IJCNLP-05 Workshop
October 14, 2005
Jeju Island, South Korea
Paper Submission Deadline: May 31.
[Background and Goals]
Paraphrases are alternative ways to convey the same information. As has been
claimed by an increasing number of researchers, technology for generating and
recognizing paraphrases can potentially benefit a broad range of NLP tasks
including machine translation, reading assistance, multi-document summarization,
information retrieval, and question answering.
Motivated by this background, we organized international workshops on automatic
paraphrasing in 2001 and 2003 (IWP2003), which successfully drew the growing
interest of NLP researchers. As both workshops attracted attention and
successfully finished, we will hold the third workshop in conjunction with
IJCNLP-05, in order to collect existing and emerging research topics on
automatic paraphrasing during the recent two years.
The proposed workshop is intended to be the successor to these previous
workshops. The goals of the workshop are to connect with a broader range of
research activities related to automatic paraphrasing, and to place the
workshops in a series with the aim of establishing a new research field.
[General Topics]
The workshop will be open to any research topic related to paraphrasing of any
language. More specifically, topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* typology of paraphrases
* representation of paraphrases
* automatic acquisition of paraphrases
* algorithms for recognizing and generating paraphrases
* existing and potential applications of automatic paraphrasing
* computational modeling of linguistic theories on paraphrases
* open resources for paraphrasing technology
* methods for evaluating paraphrasing technology
Given the location of the workshop, papers focusing on paraphrasing within the
languages of the Asia-Pacific region are particularly encouraged.
[Special Topic: constructing paraphrase-related resources]
The theme of the previous workshop in the series was the automated acquisition
of paraphrase. A particular topic of interest for this workshop, then, is the
issue of constructing paraphrase-related resources that would follow from this
automated acquisition: What should these look like? How would dictionaries and
corpora of automatically acquired paraphrases be defined?
[Submission Information]
Paper submissions must be anonymous and are limited to at most 8 pages including
references, figures etc. Authors are required to follow the guidelines of
IJCNLP-05 workshop style, by hopefully using either the LaTeX style file or the
MS Word document template shown in the IJCNLP-05 style file page
(http://www.afnlp.org/IJCNLP05/archives4.html). Only electronic submissions will
be accepted. Please email your submission in PDF (preferred), PostScript, or MS
Word to the following address:
iwp2005-submissionnlp.nagaokaut.ac.jp
Each submission should also specify the author's name, affiliation, postal
address, email address and title in the body of the email message. For more
information, please make contact with the workshop co-chairs by using the same
e-mail address above.

Subject: Workshop on the Integration of Heterogeneous, Interactive Systems
Full Title: Workshop on the Integration of Heterogeneous, Interactive Systems
Date: 21-Sep-2005 - 21-Sep-2005

Call Deadline: 12-May-2005
Meeting Description:
Description:
In contrast to the tremendous increase of information generation and
distribution, there is a lack of precise working-means that sight available
information flexibly, under the consideration of the context and with respect to
its relevance for the user. However, there is a need for means that can
interpret, analyze and pre-process relevant information. The mass of information
that users have to examine in order to separate relevant from irrelevant
information in a time-consuming process increases constantly. This goes along
with the risk of a decreasing efficiency of information systems.
Overview of the topics:
The efficiency of information systems can be significantly improved if these
systems are equipped with components that use semantics-based methods in order
to evaluate, to interpret and to classify information automatically and that
prepare and present the information according to the users demands. At present,
the efforts toward the development of such components still stand at the
beginning. However, they came in focus in connection with the considerations to
the ''Semantic Web''. Concrete realization of these components and their
integration into IT-systems will sharpen the understanding of problems and
solutions that are connected with the development of these components. An
exchange of experiences learned from prototypical developments and the final
realizations of the components as well as of their integration into IT-systems
thus promises a beneficial insights regarding semantics-based IT components.
Contributions for the workshop should take this to its reference.
The following aspects are thereby of special interest:
- Automatic generation of semantic contexts
- Data integration and semantic web
- Information retrieval in connection with semantic contexts
- Context sensitive user support
- Development, use and fusion of ontologies
- Interoperability of heterogeneous information systems
- Information extraction in connection with natural language
- Use of ontological components in dialogue systems
Addressees:
The workshop is designed for computational linguists, operators, developers and
researchers in the area of interactive information systems that execute analysis
processes in a better quality or support a higher level of interoperability with
other information systems due to the application of semantic components.
Participants will obtain the opportunity to gather and exchange information
about projects and trends as well as technologies and methods in a field of
interest with a rapidly growing relevance.
