Apologies to those of you who receive this more than once ESSLLI-98 Workshop on RECENT ADVANCES IN CORPUS ANNOTATION August 17 - 21, 1998 A workshop held as part of the 10th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI-98) August 17 - 28, 1998, Saarbrueken, Germany ** FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS ** ORGANIZERS: Hans Uszkoreit, Brigitte Krenn, Wojciech Skut, Thorsten Brants (Department of Computational Linguistics, University of the Saarland) Web site: http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~esslli98/workshops.html BACKGROUND: The use of statistical methods and particularly training from annotated corpora has become an important topic in various fields in computational linguistics. Currently available corpus resources are rather small except for English, and largely restricted to the annotation of parts-of-speech and phrase structure. The workshop is intended to bring together researchers who create reusable annotation schemes, annotation tools, and corpora for different languages and kinds of language, representing information such as morphology, syntax, semantics, dialoge structure, etc. Papers should address some of the following topics: - reusable and extendable annotation schemes, - efficient annotation of large corpora, - current work on annotation tools, - interaction of human annotators and automatic annotation tools, - representation of competence and performance information within annotated corpora, - other related topics. Presentations of annotation schemes and corpora for various languages are encouraged, as well as demonstrations of implemented annotation tools. WORKSHOP FORMAT: The workshop will consist of five sessions of 90 minutes each held over five days. There will be either two or three presentations at each session with time for questions and discussion. SUBMISSIONS: All researchers in the field, but especially Ph.D. students and young researchers, are encouraged to submit extended abstracts (6 pages, 12pt) preferably by e-mail and in postscript. On an extra page, the following information should be included: 1. Name, affiliation, address, e-mail of the submitter(s). 2. An indication which of the themes is/are addressed. 3. An abstract of the paper. 4. If applicable, requirements for a demo. E-mail submissions shall be sent to E-mail submissions shall be sent to krenn@coli.uni-sb.de. Hard copies shall be sent to: Brigitte Krenn Universitaet des Saarlandes Computerlinguistik Postfach 1150 66041 Saarbruecken Germany The deadline for submissions is February 15, 1998.
