Final Call for Papers
Submission deadline: 11 May 2010 (extended)
The 4th Workshop on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social
Sciences, and Humanities will be held in conjunction with ECAI 2010,
which takes place from 16-20 August 2010 in Lisbon, Portugal
(http://ecai2010.appia.pt).
With the advent of the digital age, museums, archives, libraries and other
cultural heritage (CH) institutes are gradually moving away from a
predominantly pen-and-paper based collection management; more and
more CH institutes are aiming to make their collections widely accessible to
both experts and laypersons. A first step in this endeavour is the digitisation
of existing data. Several large-scale digitisation efforts have been launched
in recent years.
A similar development can also be seen in the 'soft' sciences, such as
social sciences and humanities (SH), where increasing amounts of relevant
texts are being made available in electronic form, either being produced
digitally, or being digitised as part of efforts directed at digitising archival
material.
However, information access should not be restricted to simple key-word
based search on digitised data. To truely unlock the knowledge contained
in CH and SH collections, it is necessary to develop novel technologies that
support the information and entertainment needs of individual users.
Techniques from artificial intelligence are particularly well suited to help
users to make the best possible use of these digitised collections. As
information access is often obtained via the (mostly textual) metadata level,
language technology in particular plays an important role. Other areas of AI,
including knowledge representation, multi-modal systems and user
modelling, are also relevant.
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers on all aspects
of language technology, machine learning, pattern recognition, knowledge
representation, multi-modal systems, recommender systems, and other
neighbouring fields in NLP and AI applied to cultural heritage (CH),
social sciences and humanities (SH). We also invite contributions from the
cultural heritage institutes themselves in the form of use cases and usage
scenarios. We thereby hope to bring together both communities (NLP/AI
and CH/SH) and foster an exchange of ideas.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
-Automatic error detection and cleaning of digitised data
-Data enrichment and linking
-Adapting existing tools to the CH/SH domain
-Knowledge representation, ontologies, metadata and data models
-Knowledge discovery and text mining
-Machine learning and pattern recognition
-Multi-modal and interactive systems
-Personalisation and recommender systems
-Text simplification, text summarisation, and (hyper)text generation
-Transdisciplinary research on CH and SH data
-User scenarios and use cases
Submissions:
Papers should present completed, unpublished work in the topic areas of
the workshop, and should be submitted electronically, via the submission
website at:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=latech10 no later than
Tuesday, 11 May 2010.
