Meeting Description:
Natural Language Processing has long been used to automatically analyze language
produced by language learners. While much interesting research has been
reported, it is difficult to determine the state of the art for such automatic
analyses of learner language. For example, which error types and other language
properties can be detected and diagnosed automatically? How reliably is this
done, for which kind of learner language?
These questions seem worth exploring given that for sustained progress in the
automatic analysis of learner language it arguably is essential to discuss and
compare the performance of different analysis methods, preferably on identical,
real-life data sets. As a prerequisite, it also is important to come to an
agreement on the error types and other learner language properties that are
useful and realistic to analyze.
These issues are not only relevant to NLP in Intelligent CALL but also intersect
in important ways with the research on learner corpora, the annotation schemes
developed for those, and the related Second Language Acquisition research.
In this workshop, we want to bring together researchers working on the analysis
of learner language in the broad sense, including work on annotation schemes for
learner corpora and NLP techniques used to detect learner errors and other
learner language properties.
