CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Stylistics for Text Retrieval in Practice
SIGIR 2006 Workshop
Seattle, WA, August 10, 2006
http://www.lingcog.iit.edu/style2006
style2006sics.se
Recent years have seen an increased attention to various aspects of
automatic analysis and extraction of stylistic aspects of natural
language texts. Style may be roughly defined as the 'manner' in which
something is expressed, as opposed to the 'content' of a
message. Modelling, representing, explaining, and utilizing variation
in the manner of expression is the business of stylistic analysis.
This workshop follows four previous successful exploratory events
on stylistic analysis and will focus on the practical craft of
stylistic analysis in natural language texts.
THIS YEAR: BRING A DEMO!
Potentially useful applications of stylistic analysis abound,
including systems for genre-based information retrieval, authorship
attribution, plagiarism detection, context-sensitive text or speech
generation systems, organizing and retrieving documents based on their
writing style, attitude, or sentiment, quality or appropriateness
filters for messaging systems, detecting abusive or threatening
language, and more. This year, participants are expected to bring with
them a method for applying stylistic analysis to information access
tasks.
Before lunch, methods will be discussed in session; after lunch,
demonstrated in practice.
DISCUSSION QUESTION
Participants should address the following key challenge question
in their participation proposals:
* WHAT IS A MEANINGFUL ''KILLER APP'' FOR STYLISTIC TEXT ANALYSIS? *
and consider the following questions for discussion in session:
1. How does style relate to other forms of non-topical textual variation?
2. What features are best for different style analysis tasks?
3. Is cross-lingual or 'universal' style analysis possible, and if so, how?
4. How might we develop useful shared resources for moving style research
forward?
SUBMISSION FORMAT
Send us a statement (in PDF) of up to five pages describing your
research or application with a short description (and screenshots if
possible) of the demonstration you plan to show. At the workshop we
will discuss and decide on an appropriate forum for a more permanent
record of the proceedings. If you would like a speaking slot in the
discussion session, you should indicate this in your statement of
interest.

CALL FOR COURSE and WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
19th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
ESSLLI 2007
August 6 - 17, 2007, Dublin, Ireland
The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI) is
organized every year by the Association for Logic, Language and Information
(FoLLI, http://www.folli.org) in different sites around Europe.
The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics, logic and
computation. ESSLLI offers foundational, introductory and advanced courses, as
well as workshops, covering a wide variety of topics within the three areas of
interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and Computation.
Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting up to 500
students from Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into an important
meeting place and forum for discussion for students and researchers interested
in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and Information.
The ESSLLI 2007 Program Committee invites proposals for foundational,
introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 19th annual Summer
School on a wide range of timely topics that have demonstrated their relevance
in the following fields:
- Logic and Language
- Logic and Computation
- Language and Computation
PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: Proposals should be submitted through a web form
available at http://www.folli.org/submission.php
All proposals should be submitted no later than
Thursday June 15, 2006
Authors of proposals will be notified of the committee's decision by October
