Subject: 9th Annual Meeting of the Texas Linguistic Society
Full Title: 9th Annual Meeting of the Texas Linguistic Society
Short Title: TLS 9
Date: 04-Nov-2005 - 06-Nov-2005
Location: Austin, Texas, United States of America
Contact Person: Frederick Hoyt
Meeting Email: tlsuts.cc.utexas.edu

Call Deadline: 20-Aug-2005
Meeting Description:
TLS 9: The Morphosyntax of Lesser Studied Languages
Deadline Extension and Final Call for Papers
Texas Linguistics Society 9
The Morphosyntax of Lesser Studied Languages
University of Texas at Austin
November 4-6, 2005
http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~tls/2005tls/
EXTENDED DEADLINE: 12am PST, August 20th 2005.
The goal of TLS 9 is to provide a forum for the presentation of original
research on morphosyntactic phenomena in languages that are underrepresented in
the literature, that is, less studied languages and/or less-studied varieties of
more-represented languages.
We welcome the submission of papers on topics including (but not limited to):
voice, case-marking, agreement, cliticization, complex predicate formation, verb
serialization, noun incorporation, morphological blocking, lexical integrity,
word order variation.
In addition to the above stated goals, the conference encourages comparisons
between different theoretical frameworks.

Call for Papers
Goal
The track on Trends in Natural Language Processing is a forum for researchers
working in natural language processing (NLP) / computational linguistics (CL)
and related areas. The rapid pace of development of online materials, most of
them in textual form or text combined with other media (visual, audio), has led
to a revived interest for tools capable to understand, organize and mine those
materials. Novel human-computer interfaces, for instance talking heads, can
benefit from language understanding and generation techniques with big impact on
user satisfaction. Moreover, language can facilitate human-computer interaction
for people with disabilities (no typing needed) and elderly leading to an ever
increasing user base for computer systems.
While papers and contributions on traditional basic and applied language
processing issues are welcome, the 2006 track will emphasize novel challenges to
the NLP/CL community: multilingual processing, learning environments, multimodal
communication, bioNLP, spam filtering, security, etc. We also encourage papers
in information retrieval, speech processing and machine learning that present
novel approaches that can benefit from or have an impact on NLP/CL.
Topics
We invite highly original papers that describe work in, but not limited to, the
following areas:
NL-based Knowledge Representations and systems
Lexical Semantics
Syntax
Semantics
Coreference Resolution
Word Sense Disambiguation
Text Cohesion and Coherence
Dialogue Management and Systems
Language Generation
Language Models
Human Computer Interfaces - in particular multimodal human-computer
communication and language as the only acceptable human-computer communication
channel for handicapped and elderly
Machine Learning applied to NL problems
Multilingual Processing
Standardization, Language Resources, Corpora Building and Annotation Languages
NL in Learning Environments
Semantic Web, Ontologies, Reasoning
Applications: Machine Translation, Summarization, Intelligent Tutoring, Question
Answering, Information Extraction, etc.
others
Submission Guidelines
Interested authors should format their papers according to AAAI formatting
guidelines. The papers should not exceed 6 pages and are due by November 21,
2005. Please note the change from 5 to 6 pages from the first CFP. Additional
pages (7 and more) have to be cleared by the program chairs and will be $100
each. The papers should not identify the author(s) in any manner. Authors should
indicate the special track if one exists that closely matches the topic of their
paper. All submissions will be done electronically via the FLAIRS web submission
system available through the paper submission site at
http://earth.cs.ccsu.edu/~flairs/submission.html.
Conference Proceedings
Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the conference
proceedings which will be published by AAAI Press. Selected authors will be
invited to submit extended versions of their papers to a special issue of the
International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT) to be published
in 2007.
