| |
| − | PURPOSE
| |
| − | -----------------------------------
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We aim to bring together people from different research communities
| |
| − | interested in exploring how corpus characteristics affect the behaviour
| |
| − | of techniques in information retrieval and natural language processing,
| |
| − | and to set out a roadmap for a shared research agenda.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It is well known in NLP and IR that the effectiveness of a technique
| |
| − | depends on both the data on which it is deployed and its match with the
| |
| − | task at hand. In 1973, Spärck-Jones attributed differing degrees of
| |
| − | success at automatic classification to differences in dataset
| |
| − | characteristics. Since Croft and Harper (1979), IR performance has
| |
| − | repeatedly been related to collection size and other features, though no
| |
| − | upper bound has been found.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The importance of data and task dependencies has been highlighted in IR,
| |
| − | anaphora resolution, automatic summarization and recently, in word sense
| |
| − | disambiguation. Many web/enterprise web retrieval systems rely on URL
| |
| − | properties, link graph properties, click streams, and so on, with
| |
| − | performance dependent on the degree to which this evidence is present
| |
| − | and meaningful in a particular corpus.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Systematically exploring features that can be used effectively to
| |
| − | characterise corpora, has been missing from IR/NLP research. This
| |
| − | creates problems with replicability of experimental results and the
| |
| − | development of applications.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The time is right to pursue this dependence systematically to address
| |
| − | topics in tracking the effect of dataset profile on technique
| |
| − | performance. Over the past 15 years, the approaches of several subject
| |
| − | areas have converged with IR, as large corpora and test collections
| |
| − | assume central importance in research methodologies. These areas have
| |
| − | highlighted issues surrounding the role of data.

| |
| − | WORKSHOP FORMAT
| |
| − | -----------------------------------
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The workshop will be a day long, in conjunction with the Information
| |
| − | Interaction in Context (IIiX'2008, http://irsg.bcs.org/iiix2008/). The
| |
| − | workshop will have three components:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | (1) invited talks in the morning, introducing the background from
| |
| − | different perspectives
| |
| − |
| |
| − | (2) two afternoon sessions, presenting peer-reviewed papers
| |
| − |
| |
| − | (3) a panel discussion (panel composed of presenters and the organizers).

| |
| − | -----------------------------------
| |
| − | TOPICS OF INTEREST
| |
| − | -----------------------------------
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We welcome original research or position papers. We particularly
| |
| − | encourage postgraduate students or postdoctoral researchers to submit
| |
| − | papers. Topics of interest include, but are NOT LIMITED to, the
| |
| − | following areas:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Suitable features to characterise text/language variety,
| |
| − | capturing known effects on technique performance with respect to a task;
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Tasks that depend on aspects of corpus profiles, (e.g., the
| |
| − | positive correlation of QA performance with fact frequency in a corpus);
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Limitations of context-independent frequency-based measures, and
| |
| − | exploration of measures that highlight complex dependencies;
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Tools/techniques for characterising a feature or the extent to
| |
| − | which it is manifested in a corpus;
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Evaluation methodologies for testing feature candidates relative
| |
| − | to task/technique;
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Learnability of features (cf. meta-level learning for
| |
| − | classification algorithms).

| |
| − | SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
| |
| − | -----------------------------------
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Original technical papers, short papers and position papers are all
| |
| − | welcome. Please ensure that your submission does not exceed 5,000 words
| |
| − | in length. Use 10 point font size, double column for body text, and 12
| |
| − | point bold for headings. Please send your submission in PDF to all the
| |
| − | three organizers (A.Deroeck@open.ac.uk; d.song@open.ac.uk;
| |
| − | udo@essex.ac.uk) with subject "Corpus Profiling workshop submission".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We will publish the accepted papers electronically through BCS's
| |
| − | Electronic Workshops in Computing (eWiC), together with the extended
| |
| − | abstracts of invited talks, a summary of the panel discussion. We will
| |
| − | seek to pursue the research thread through further workshops at relevant
| |
| − | conferences. We plan to organize a post-workshop special issue on a
| |
| − | suitable IR or NLP related journal.
