Call for Papers
SIGDAT, the Association for Computational Linguistics' special interest group on linguistic data and corpus-based approaches to NLP, invites submissions to EMNLP 2006, which immediately follows COLING-ACL 2006.
We are interested in papers from academia, government, and industry on all areas of traditional interest to the SIGDAT community and aligned fields, including but not limited to:
- information extraction- information retrieval- language and dialogue modeling- lexical acquisition- machine translation- multilingual technologies- question answering- statistical parsing- summarization- generation- speech recognition and synthesis- dialog and discourse processing- tagging- term and named entity extraction- word sense disambiguation- word, term, and text segmentation- general NLP-related machine learning techniques: theory, methods and algorithms
Special Theme:Crossing Boundaries: Interdisciplinarity in Data and Methods
For this year's theme we encourage submissions that reach out to other disciplines, whether in MODELS AND METHODS or DOMAINS AND DATA. In the past NLP has often drawn on other fields for new models, methods, and mathematical insights. We encourage submissions to extend this history, both from closely related fields (computer vision, signal processing) or ones at a distance (quantum mechanics, statistical physics). Other fields can also be a source of new kinds of data and new problems, including domains that have received a lot of attention (gene sequencing, medical informatics) or less attention (sociology, political science, forensic science, the humanities). We encourage any submission that tries to build bridges to other disciplines; samples of the many possible areas include:
- computer vision (joint analysis of text and images for multimodal aoplications)- medical informatics and bioinformatics- political science (analysis of polling data, surveys, or blogs)- sociology (network theory and analysis, interpersonal relationships such as job interviews)-social psychology (detection of emotional state, lie detection, social attitudes, accent or dialect)- physics (quantum mechanics, statistical physics)- humanities (authorship identification, genre and style)- educational applications
Submissions
Submissions should take the form of full papers (up to 8 pages in two-column format) describing original, unpublished work. Papers being submitted to other meetings must provide this information on the title page.
