| − | | |
| − | * Workshop Focus
| |
| − | | |
| − | Named Entities (NEs) play a critical role in Natural Language Processing
| |
| − | (NLP) and Information Retrieval (IR) tasks, such as search, machine
| |
| − | translation, document clustering, summarization, information extraction,
| |
| − | etc. While identifying and analyzing NEs in a given natural language is a
| |
| − | challenging research problem by itself, the phenomenal growth in the
| |
| − | Internet user population, especially among the non-English speaking parts of
| |
| − | the world, has extended this problem to the cross-language arena, making the
| |
| − | handling of NEs in multiple languages critically important.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested in
| |
| − | various aspects of NEs in natural language text. In addition, the NEWS
| |
| − | workshop will feature a shared task on Machine Transliteration of NEs.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | * Topics of Interest
| |
| − | | |
| − | This workshop invites original research contributions on all aspects of NEs,
| |
| − | including identification, analysis, extraction, mining, transformation and
| |
| − | applications of NE to NLP and IR systems. The topics of interest include,
| |
| − | but are not limited to the following:
| |
| − | | |
| − | NE Analysis
| |
| − | - Distributional characteristics of NEs in mono- & multi-lingual corpora
| |
| − | - Orthographic/phonetic characteristics of NEs
| |
| − | - NE origin/genre recognition
| |
| − | - Social network analysis and entity resolution NE extraction
| |
| − | - Language-independent monolingual NE extraction
| |
| − | - Cross-language NE extraction
| |
| − | - General Techniques
| |
| − | - Specific datasets (Wikipedia, news, etc.)
| |
| − | - Unsupervised and semi-supervised methods for NE extraction
| |
| − | - Complex NEs, domain-specific term extraction
| |
| − | - NE set expansion
| |
| − | - Creation of annotated data
| |
| − | Machine Transliteration
| |
| − | - Computational phonology, incl. modeling of phonological rules,
| |
| − | structure,
| |
| − | behavior, etc.
| |
| − | - Transliteration modeling
| |
| − | - Phonetic, grapheme)phoneme and phoneme)grapheme conversions
| |
| − | - Statistical & machine learning based approaches, transliteration unit
| |
| − | alignments
| |
| − | - Forward and backward transliterations
| |
| − | - Learning transliteration from comparable corpora
| |
| − | - Transliteration lexicon construction
| |
| − | - Romanization of Asian languages
| |
| − | - Transliteration evaluation metrics
| |
| − | Applications
| |
| − | - Monolingual and Cross-Language IR, Information Extraction and
| |
| − | Management
| |
| − | - Machine Translation
| |
| − | - Question Answering
| |
| − | - Computational Journalism

| − | Acceptance Notification 1-Jun-2009
| |
| − | Camera-Ready Copy Deadline 7-Jun-2009 | |
| − | Workshop Date 7 Aug 2009
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | * Shared Task on Transliteration
| |
| − | | |
| − | Transliteration of NEs is necessary in many applications, such as machine
| |
| − | translation, corpus alignment, cross-language IR, information extraction and
| |
| − | automatic lexicon acquisition. This calls for high-performance
| |
| − | transliteration systems, which is the focus of the shared task in this
| |
| − | workshop. Details of the task will be made available soon in the workshop
