Meeting Description:
Semantic relations have been for a long time subject of interest for linguists,
philosophers, researchers in artificial intelligence and cognitive science.
Theoretical linguists have collected, defined, and characterized semantic
relations (synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy), which proved to be extremely
useful for language engineers, helping them to design language resources in
an economical way.
Semantic relations are fundamental for processing language, be it for
analyzing or generating text, Information Extraction, Question Answering,
knowledge acquisition, etc. As widely shown in the literature, semantic
relations allow improving considerably the performance of NLP applications.
Next to the practical value, we would like to clarify at this workshop
theoretical aspects of semantic relations and their potential heuristic value
for other tasks than NLP.
2nd Call for Papers
Topics
Topics of the workshop will include but are not limited to:
- Knowledge representation and semantic relations
- Extraction of semantic relations from various sources (lexical ontologies,
corpora, Wikipedia, WWW)
- Exploitation of semantic relations in NLP applications
- Distributional methods for identifying semantic relations
- Lexico-syntactic patterns and semantic relations
- Machine Learning approaches for identifying semantic relations
- Semantic relations in language generation
- Semantic relations and terminology
- Semantic relations and access of information
Invited speaker: Michael Zock, LIF, CNRS, Marseille, France
Submission Information
Papers will be submitted to the workshop via the START LREC Conference Manager,
under https://www.softconf.com/lrec2010/SemRel2010/.

When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide
essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies,
standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in
the paper or are a new result of your research. For further information on this
new iniative, please refer to
