July 30 - August 2, 2007, Iasi, Romania
Doctoral Consortium - Call for Papers
Submission Deadline: May 14, 2007
1. General Information
The Doctoral Consortium at EUROLAN-2007 will provide an
opportunity for graduate students (PhD and MSc heading
towards PhD studies) investigating topics in Computational
Linguistics and Natural Language Processing to present their
current work and receive constructive feedback and guidance
on future research, both from the general audience and the
invited lecturers at the Summer School.
The Doctoral Consortium will be held as a workshop during 3
or 4 consecutive evenings (1.5 hour slots) in the second week
of the EUROLAN 2007 Summer School, July 30 - August 2, 2007.
The final version of the accepted papers will be published
in the Proceedings of the EUROLAN 2007 Doctoral Consortium,
at the University Al. I Cuza Publishing House.
During the Summer School the students will present their work,
will receive constructive comments wrt. to current and future
research directions from a panel of established researchers,
and will benefit from the collaborative climate established
among all participants, thus enhancing future joint work among
them. Students will also prepare a poster which will be on
display throughout the Summer School.
We invite all interested graduate students to submit their
work to the Consortium. As the main goal of the Consortium
is for the authors to receive feedback, the emphasis is on
work in progress.
The research being presented can be from any topic area within
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing,
including but not limited to:
* phonetics, phonology, and morphology;
* pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax, and the
lexicon;
* text understanding and generation;
* computational semantics;
* ontology enriched NLP applications;
* multilingual NLP;
* mutilingual question answering;
* machine translation;
* corpus-based language processing;
* electronic dictionaries;
* written and spoken natural language interfaces;
* knowledge acquisition;
* terminology;
* text summarisation;
* text classification;
* computer-aided language learning;
* human computer interaction;
* language resources;
* evaluation, assessment and standards in language
engineering;
* theoretical and application-oriented papers related
to NLP of every kind.
Well-known researchers from these areas will be invited lecturers
of the school and therefore available for interesting discussions.
2. Submission Requirements
The submissions should describe original work, still in progress.
The submissions may have more than one author; however, all of
them MUST be students (PhD and MSc heading towards PhD).
The paper should include:
* the problem(s) that the proposed research is addressing;
* the main contribution(s) of the research to the CL & NLP field;
* the proposed solution(s), including a brief description
of the methodology adopted;
* the future research plan.
3. Submission Procedure
Submission must be electronic. The only format acceptable is PDF
(.pdf). Submissions should not exceed 8 pages, including references
and annexes and should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings.
The papers will be uploaded on a special page, announced on the web
page of the Doctoral Consortium, where more submission guidelines
are available.
