OntoLex 2005 - Ontologies and Lexical Resources
http://www.ilc.cnr.it/ontolex2005
IJCNLP-05 Workshop
October 15, 2005 Jeju Island, South Korea
* EXTENDED DEADLINE *
NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE JUNE 15th
Background and Goals
The new framework of Information Society fostered the growing of the HLT area
and the project of turning the World Wide Web into a machine understandable
resource to access digital information (the so-called Semantic Web), posing new
challenges for integrated technologies. Lexicographers, lexical semanticists and
ontologists are joining forces to build innovative systems for integrating
ontological knowledge with lexical and semantic resources. Important examples of
this interaction are the recent works on the conceptual analysis of WordNet, and
the wide use of upper ontologies in innovative international projects like
EuroWordNet, SIMPLE, Balkanet, DWDSnet, etc.
OntoLex 2005 will be the fourth workshop on Ontologies and Lexical Knowledge
Bases, following OntoLex 2000, 2002, and 2004. In this workshop we want to
discuss the relation between ontological knowledge and language. A special focus
will be on the role of ontologies in multilingual language processing. This
relation can be investigated from a number of different angles, for example:
- what differences and similarities there are between ontologies and more
traditional lexical resources such as dictionaries and wordnets;
- how ontologies can be extracted from language corpora;
- what role language plays in the definition and mapping of ontologies;
- how to enrich semantic information in wordnets using formal tools;
- how ontologies can be used to treat language in language technology applications.
Ontologies and lexical resources can benefit from each other and converge into a
unified framework where semantics is provided by formally rigorous ontological
and lexical information.
Topics of interests
The workshop is open to any research contribution dealing with the relation
between ontologies and lexicons. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Design principles and methodologies for ontologies and semantic lexical
resources, with a special focus on Asian languages
* Evaluation, comparison, mapping and integration of ontologies and lexical
semantic resources
* The role of ontologies in the development of Inter-Lingual-Index (ILI)
* Applications of ontologies and lexical semantic resources in Information
Retrieval and Information Extraction;
* Use of ontologies and lexical resources in Semantic Web applications
* Role of lexical semantic resources in ontology learning
* Ontology-based query expansion techniques
* Ontologies and multi-lingual lexical resources
* Ontologies and lexical resources for meaning negotiation
We plan to include a selection of the best papers of the workshop in a book on
ontologies and lexicons that will be submitted for publication to Cambridge
University Press in the series Cambridge Studies in Natural Language Processing.

Morphology-Phonology Interface, and Semantics of Under-represented Languages
October 28-30, 2005
University of Massachusetts Amherst
Call for Papers
Call Deadline: 15-Jun-2005
Abstracts are invited for 20-minute talks (plus 10 minutes of discussion), and a
poster session, on any aspect of theoretical linguistics and closely-related fields.
DEADLINE for Abstract Submissions: June 15, 2005
Notification of Abstract Acceptance: August 15, 2005
INVITED SPEAKERS
* Greg Carlson (University of Rochester)
* Lisa Cheng (Universiteit Leiden)
* J. Michael Terry (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill)
* Bruce Tesar (Rutgers University)
SPECIAL SESSION 1:
Topics at the Morphology-Phonology Interface
Invited Speaker: Bruce Tesar
This session will include regular-length talks that address issues at the
morphology-phonology interface, including:
* morphological categories and boundaries in phonology
* learnability of morphological contrasts
* phonologically-conditioned allomorphy & paradigm gaps
* contrast neutralization/preservation in paradigms
* paradigm uniformity, OO-correspondence, stratal OT
SPECIAL SESSION 2:

Invited Speaker: J. Michael Terry
This session will include regular-length talks that address the semantics of

languages (for instance African American English, Bavarian German, or Brazilian
Portuguese). We welcome any research on such languages concerning one or more of
the following areas:
* theoretical semantics
* experimental work on semantics
* semantic fieldwork
* morpho-semantics
* the syntax-semantics interface
* the semantics-pragmatics interface
* information structure
