The focus of NLP research has been shifting towards semantic analysis
 
from syntactic analysis. It has become evident that the methods employed
 
for developing syntactic analyzers, i.e. supervised methods using small
 
annotated corpora, are not the best methods for the semantic task. In
 
order to handle semantics, we need large amounts of knowledge which may
 
be best collected by semi/un- supervised methods from a huge unannotated
 
corpus.
 
 
 
Many methods have already been proposed along this line of research, e.g.
 
discovery of synonyms, hyponym-hypernyms, part-of relations, paraphrase,
 
textual entailment, relations between things, relations between events
 
and so on. The technical methods include distributional similarity,
 
lexico-syntactic patterns, alignment and so on. Although such discovery
 
techniques have been improving through numerious trials, there has been
 
little discussion of the background and high-level picture of the field.
 
 
 
The objectives of this symposium will be to discuss the following topics:
 
- High-level picture of the current technologies
 
- The types of semantic knowledge we need
 
- The relationships between knowledge and applications
 
- The format for representing this knowledge and its re-use
 
- Community effort for resource and platform
 
- Possible directions for the technology in the future
 
 
 
The presentations will consist of around 10 invited talks by leaders in
 
the field (shown below) and partially of general submissions.
 
Presentations are expected to provide the speaker's high level
 
position regarding the objectives described above.

General Submissions
 
-------------------
 
There are three categories for general submissions. Presentations are
 
likely to be 15-20 minute talks. Posters or demos will be presented in a
 
2 hour slot. It is NOT necessary that the material be previously
 
unpublished. We are expecting presentations giving an overview of the
 
research at your site, or your top-level view of the topic, or a demo of
 
a system related to the topic. Please send me a one page description of
 
your presentation (please indicate if it is a poster or demo). Deadline
 
for submissions is September 30.
 
 
 
We are NOT planning to produce proceedings (i.e. you do NOT have to
 
prepare papers), but we would like to produce a binder of the presentation
 
slides and abstracts, which may due about two weeks before the symposium.
 
 
 
Thank you very much for your interest;  we are looking forward to see you
 
at the symposium.
 
 
 
 
 
Best Regards,
 
Satoshi Sekine
