  		     LG-LP 2014 - FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
  	 *********************************************************

Workshop on Lexical and Grammatical Resources for Language Processing (LG-LP 2014)
                Dublin, Ireland, 23 or 24 August 2014
                		http://lg-lp.info/

This workshop is held in conjunction with COLING 2014 and co-sponsored by
ASIALEX

The workshop aims to bring together members of the language-resource (LR)
landscape, focusing on complex linguistic knowledge that requires
linguistic expertise, e.g. on dictionaries, ontologies and grammars. Such
manually-built resources are key to the development of natural language
processing (NLP) tools and applications. The workshop intends to
strengthen the cohesion of the scientific production chain spanning from
the construction of LRs by linguists to their exploitation in hybrid or
symbolic NLP. It is necessary to increase mutual awareness between
researchers along this production chain, regarding their activities,
skills and needs, in view of improving the building processes of the
resources, their validation and their exploitation.

Many linguists are comfortable with descriptive tasks such as checking
lexical entries for a given feature, even if each entry requires analysing
or pondering. On the other hand, computer scientists are familiar with
formalization and, usually, with notions such as falsifiability or
reproducibility, which are fundamental to sciences. Combining all these
skills is likely to stimulate innovation. The workshop offers an
opportunity of interaction which is required to overcome the
compartmentalization between humanities and sciences, and to intensify
co-operation between the two ends of the chain.
Paper Submission Deadline: May 2, 2014 (11:59 pm GMT)
