C a l l f o r P a p e r s IWPT 2007 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 10th International Conference on Parsing Technologies ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sponsored by ACL/SIGPARSE 23rd-24th June, 2007 Prague, Czech Republic ~~~~ http://www.latl.unige.ch/iwpt2007/index.html ~~~~ ACL/SIGPARSE will host the 10th International Conference on Parsing Technologies (IWPT'07) on June 23rd and 24th, 2006 in conjunction with the 2007 Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL'07; see http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/acl2007). IWPT'07 continues the tradition of biennial workshops on parsing technology organized by SIGPARSE, the Special Interest Group on Parsing of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL). The first workshop, in Pittsburgh and Hidden Valley, was followed by workshops in Cancun (Mexico) in 1991; Tilburg (Netherlands) and Durbuy (Belgium) in 1993; Prague and Karlovy Vary (Czech Republic) in 1995; Boston/Cambridge (Massachusetts) in 1997; Trento (Italy) in 2000; Beijing (China) in 2001; Nancy (France) in 2003; and Vancouver (Canada) (2005). Topics of interest for IWPT'07 --------------------------------------- Topics of interest for IWPT'07 include, but are not limited to: theoretical and practical studies of parsing and trasduction algorithms for natural language sentences, texts, fragments, dialogues, ill-formed sentences, speech input, multi-dimensional (pictorial) or signed languages, multimedia (web) documents, and parsing issues arising or viewed in a multimodal and multilingual context. Both knowledge-based and statistical approaches are welcome. Time schedule: ------------------- Deadline for paper submission: 26th March, 2007 Notification of acceptance : 26th April, 2007 Final papers due : 7th May, 2007 Workshop : 23rd-24th June, 2007 Requirements ------------ Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. A paper accepted for presentation at IWPT 2007 cannot be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences or workshops must indicate this on the title page, as must papers that contain significant overlap with previously published work. The reviewing of the papers will be blind. The paper should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-citations and other references (e.g. to projects, corpora, or software) that could reveal the author's identity should be avoided. For example, instead of "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", write "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Submitting Papers ------------------------- Two types of submissions are invited: - full papers, to be presented as such during the workshop and to be published in the workshop proceedings (maximally 12 pages); - short papers, to be presented at the workshop in the form of a poster plus a summary oral presentation in a short-paper session; two-page summaries will be published in the workshop proceedings. Instruction for authors ----------------------- Prospective authors are invited to send their submissions electronically through the web page of the conference. The only accepted format for submitted papers is PDF. Full papers should not exceed 12 pages; short papers should not exceed 8 pages. Detailed formatting and submission instructions for authors will be available through the IWPT'07 home page at: http://www.latl.unige.ch/iwpt2007/index.html For all inquiries send mail to iwpt2007@lettres.unige.ch Programme Committee --------------------------- All submitted papers will be reviewed by (or under the supervision of) the international IWPT'07 Programme Committee, consisting of the following members: Harry Bunt (Tilburg University, Netherlands) David Chiang(USC/ISI,USA) John Carroll (University of Sussex, Brighton, UK) Stephen Clarck (Oxford Unniversity, UK) Jason Eisner (Johns Hopkins University,USA) James Henderson (University of Edinburgh,UK) Ulf Hermjakob (USC Information Sciences Institute, Marina del Rey, USA) Julia Hockenmaier (University of Pennsylvania, USA) Aravind Joshi (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA) Ronald Kaplan (Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, USA) Martin Kay (Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, USA) Dan Klein (UC Berkeley, USA) Sadao Kurohashi (University of Tokyo, Japan) Alon Lavie (Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA) Rob Malouf (San Diego State University, USA) Yuji Matsumoto (Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Japan) Bob Moore (Microsoft, Redmond, USA) Mark-Jan Nederhof (MPI, Groeningen, Netherlands) Joakim Nivre (Växjö University, Sweden) Gertjan van Noord (University of Groningen, Netherlands) Stephan Oepen (University of Oslo, Norway) Stefan Riezler (Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, USA) Giorgio Satta (University of Padua, Italy) Kenji Sagae (University of Tokyo, Japan) Khalil Sima'an (University of Amsterdam, Netherlands) Hozumi Tanaka (Chukyo University, Japan) Eric Villemonte de la Clergerie (INRIA, Rocquencourt, France) K.
