::: Call for Papers ::: EACL workshop 'LaTeCH - SHELT&R 2009': Language Technology and Resources for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities, and Education http://ilk.uvt.nl/latech09 Co-located with The 12th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics 30 (31) March 2009 Athens, Greece Scope and Topics Recent years have seen a growing interest in the application of language technology tools and resources to text-based research in Social sciences, Humanities and Education (SHE). Likewise, large scale digitisation projects are currently underway to make collections of cultural heritage (CH) stored in museums, archives, and libraries around the world more accessible, where it is desirable to develop powerful tools that enable annotating, structuring, enriching, searching, linking, and mining the digitised data. Language technology has an important role to play in these processes, even for collections which are primarily non-textual, since text is the pervasive medium used for metadata. At the same time, the CH and SHE domains pose special challenges for the NLP community, such as the use of historic or non-standard language (ellipsis, OCR or transcription errors, linguistic variation, and the mixed use of languages), the interplay between textual form and content, as well as the necessity to deal with data from various media. Textual data from CH and SHE are typically multifunctional, which allows for transdisciplinary research, promoting the development of automatic creation and extension of controlled vocabularies and information exchange standards. The CH and SHE domains therefore constitute an interesting and challenging testbed for the robustness of existing language technology. The workshop, a continuation of LaTeCH-07 (Prague, Czech Republic) and LaTeCH-08 (Marrakech, Morocco) aims to foster interaction between researchers working on all aspects of language technology applied to CH and SHE domains, and experts from institutions who are testing deployed technologies and formulating improved use cases. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Adapting existing NLP tools to the CH and SHE domains: machine learning and semantic web technologies * Automatic error detection and cleaning * Complex annotation tools and interfaces * Dealing with linguistic variation and non-standard or non-contemporary use of language * Knowledge discovery from CH and SHE data * Knowledge representation in CH and SHE * Linking and retrieving information from different sources, media, and domains * Ontologies, data models, taxonomies: automatic induction and standardisation * Representing CH and SHE data to different audiences: personalisation, text simplification, text summarisation, (hyper)text generation * Transdisciplinary research on CH and SHE data * User scenarios and use cases. Authors are invited to submit papers on original, unpublished work in the topic area of the workshop. Papers should present completed work, not exceeding 8 pages. All submissions are to be formatted using the EACL 2009 stylefiles. Papers should be submitted electronically, no later than Friday 19 December, 2008. The submission website is soon to be announced. The only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe PDF. The reviewing process will be blind; thus papers should not include the authors' names and affiliations or any references to web sites, project names etc. revealing the authors' identity. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings.
