Meeting Description:
EVALITA 2007 - Evaluation of NLP Tools for Italian
EVALITA 2007 - First Call for Participation
We are pleased to announce EVALITA 2007, a new initiative devoted
to the evaluation of Natural Language Processing tools for Italian.
The general objective of EVALITA is to promote the development of
language technologies for the Italian language, providing a shared
framework where different systems and approaches can be evaluated
in a consistent manner.
We invite participation, both from academic institutions and
industrial organizations, in five tasks, all for Italian:
- Part of Speech Tagging
- Parsing
- Word Sense Disambiguation
- Temporal Expression Recognition and Normalization
- Named Entity Recognition
As with other international evaluation campaigns, guidelines
describing the different tasks will be distributed to participants.
Participants will also be provided with training data and will have
the chance to test their systems with the evaluation metrics and
procedures to be used in the formal evaluation.
The results of the evaluation will be disseminated at the final
workshop, which will be organized in conjunction with AIIA 2007
and will take place on September 10th at Villa Mondragone, a XVI
century ''Villa Tuscolana'' located between Frascati and Monte Porzio
Catone, only 20 km from Rome.
To indicate your intention to participate in one or more of the
EVALITA 2007 tasks, please contact Manuela Speranza (mansperaitc.it).
More detailed information will be provided soon on the EVALITA 2007
website at http:\\evalita.itc.it
