A Special Session of The 6th Linguistic Annotation Workshop (The LAW VI)
Held in conjunction with ACL 2012
July 12-13, 2012
Jeju, Republic of Korea
http://faculty.washington.edu/fxia/LAWVI/challenge.html
Winner's travel support provided by The US National Science Foundation
(NSF)
Submission deadline : 18 March 2012
LAW VI will include a special "challenge" session, sponsored by the US
National Science Foundation (IIS 0948101 Content of Linguistic Annotation:
Standards and Practices (CLASP)) and the ACL Special Interest Group on
Annotation (ACL SIGANN). The goals of the challenge are to promote the use
and collaborative development of open, shared resources, and to identify and
promote best practices for annotation interoperability.
Submissions to the session will be evaluated by members of the LAW program
committee. Based on their recommendations, one paper will receive an award
of up to US $2500 to cover the author's (or authors') travel expenses,
including air fare, local ground transportation, hotel for one or two
nights, and workshop registration. All papers accepted for the session will
be presented and included in the LAW VI proceedings.
Evaluation criteria will include (but are not necessarily limited to) the
following :
* innovative use of linguistic information from different annotationlayers
* demonstrable interoperability with at least one other annotation
scheme or format
developed by others
* quality of the annotated resource in terms of scheme design,
documentation, tool support, etc.
* open availability of developed resources for community use
* usability and reusability of the annotation scheme or annotated
resource
* outstanding contribution to the development of annotation best practices
We invite long paper submissions describing original, innovative projects
involving linguistic annotations that reflect the state-of-the-art in best
practice for annotation development, creation, and/or use. Papers must
follow the deadlines and format for LAW submissions, described at
http://faculty.washington.edu/fxia/LAWVI. Where possible, submissions should
describe projects that involve freely available, standard shared resources
(e.g., MASC: http://www.anc.org/MASC/ for English). If appropriate,
submitters should also register their annotation categories with ISOCat
(http://www.isocat.org) or make similar efforts to provide detailed
information for such categories that can be referenced by others. In the
case of MASC, all new annotations or derived data should be subsequently
contributed for free use by the entire community.
Important datesSubmission deadline : 18 March 2012
