The Fourth International Seminar on NLP, Computational Lexicography and Terminology

Description

The seminar will provide a meeting point for people working in the
field of the natural language processing, computational lexicography
and terminology. With this broad thematic framework in mind, papers
are invited describing activities concerning Slavic languages in
particular, as well as those dealing with bi- and multilingual
projects involving at least one Slavic or other European language.

Topics

The topics may include – but are not limited to:

    * Theoretical issues of computational lexicography and terminography
    * Bilingual lexicography and terminography
    * Dictionary structure and dictionary entries compilation
    * Corpus development: data collection, annotation and processing, word sense disambiguation, co-occurrence analysis and pertinent collocations of lexicographical and terminographical relevance
    * New methods in data extraction and terminology mining from corpora
    * Terminology databases and terminology management systems
    * Linguistic components of information systems


Submission information

The presentations may be held in any Slavic language as well as in
English. The language for submitting your abstract and paper is
English. Depending on the number of presentations in Slavic languages,
we may split the programme into two sessions, one will be held
entirely in English while the other one will gather Slavic language
presentations. Therefore we kindly ask you to inform us about the
language of your presentation when submitting the abstract. All
abstracts will be reviewed by the members of the programme committee
by May 7th , 2007. Accepted abstracts will serve as the basis for the
conference programme.

If you intend to present a paper, please send an abstract in a plain
text file by March 12th , 2007.

The deadline for camera-ready version of the paper is August 1st ,
2007. No further changes of papers will be possible.

The authors are strongly encouraged to write their papers in LaTeX
format, using the llncs2e document class. Please refer to the
instructions found on Springer website
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html#Proceedings

Alternatively, if you prefer to work in WYSIWIG environment, you can
submit your article in OpenOffice 2 format, with standard fonts. If
you need to use any special fonts, make sure they are TrueType fonts
with correct unicode table, otherwise the article will most probably
NOT be formatted as you would expect. Please, include the font with
your article as well as a PDF or PostScript version with all fonts
embedded.

We expect the proceedings to be published in time for the conference.
