6th International Workshop on Linguistically Interpreted Corpora TOPIC AND MOTIVATION: Large linguistically interpreted corpora play an increasingly important role for machine learning, evaluation, psycholinguistics as well as theoretical linguistics. Many research groups are engaged in the creation of corpus resources annotated with morphological, syntactic, semantic and discourse information for a variety of languages. We aim to bring together these activities in order to identify and disseminate best practice in the development and utilization of linguistically interpreted corpora. The aim of the workshop is to exchange and propagate research results with respect to the annotation, conversion and exploitation of corpora taking into account different applications and theoretical investigations in the field of language technology and research. We invite submissions of papers constituting substantial, original, and unpublished work on all aspects of linguistically interpreted corpora, including, but not limited to: - creation of practical annotation schemes - efficient annotation techniques - automation of corpus annotation - tools supporting corpus conversions - validation including consistency checking of corpora - browsing corpora and searching for instances of linguistic phenomena - interpretation of quantitative results - induction of linguistic competence through machine learning. As this is the first time the workshop will be held outside Europe, we particularly welcome work on non-European languages and the problems associated with them---segmentation, spelling variation, different encodings and so forth. SCHEDULE: Paper submission deadline: June 7, 2005 Notification of acceptance: July 18, 2005 Camera ready manuscripts due: August 5, 2005 Workshop date: October 14, 2005 SUBMISSIONS: Paper submissions must be anonymous and are limited to at most 8 pages including references, figures etc. Authors are required to follow the guidelines of IJCNLP-05 conference workshop style, by using either the LaTeX style file or the MS Word document template from the IJCNLP-05 page: http://www.afnlp.org/IJCNLP05/archives4.html.
