JADT 2004
7th International Conference on the Statistical Analysis of Textual Data
Call for papers
Following Barcelona (1990), Montpellier (1993), Rome (1995), Nice (1998),
Lausanne (2000), Saint-Malo (2002) the 7th International Conference on the
Statistical Analysis of Textual Data will be held in Louvain-la-Neuve
(Belgium), on March 10-12, 2004. This biennial conference, which has
constantly been gaining in importance since its first occurrence, is open to
all scholars working in the vast field of textual data analysis; ranging from
lexicography to the analysis of political discourse, from documentary
research to marketing research, from computational linguistics to
sociolinguistics, from the processing of data to content analysis. After the
success of the previous meetings, the three-day conference in Belgium will
continue to provide a workshop-style forum through technical paper sessions,
invited talks, and panel discussions.
Themes of interest
Exploratory Textual Data Analysis
Discourse Analysis
Computational Linguistics
Statistical Analysis of Responses to Open Questions
Stylometry
Information Retrieval
Textual Classification
Text Corpora and Text Encoding
Lemmatization
Documentary and Bibliometric Statistical Analysis
Software for Lexical and Textual Analysis
Semantic Web
Text and Web mining
Business and strategic intelligence
Important dates
Submission Deadline : October 31st, 2003
Notification : Decembre 2003
Camera ready papers : January 15th, 2004
Conference : March 10 - 12, 2004

CONFERENCE AIMS
-------------------------------
In the Information Society, the pervasive character of Human Language
Technologies (HLT) and their relevance to practically all fields of Information
Society Technologies (IST) has been widely recognised.
Two issues are particularly relevant: the availability of Language
Resources (LRs) and the methods for the evaluation of resources,
technologies, products and applications. Substantial mutual benefits are
achieved by addressing these issues through international collaboration.
The term "language resources" (LRs) refers to sets of language data and
descriptions in machine readable form, used in many types of
areas/components/systems/applications:
- creation and evaluation of natural language, speech and multimodal
algorithms and systems,
- software localisation and language services,
- language enabled information and communication services,
- knowledge management,
- e-commerce, e-publishing, e-learning, e-government,
- cultural heritage,
- linguistic studies,
- etc.
This large range of uses makes the LRs infrastructure a strategic part of
the e-society, where the creation of a basic set of LRs for all languages
must be ensured in order to bring all languages to the same level of
usability and availability.
Examples of LRs are written or spoken corpora and lexica, which may be
annotated or not, multimodal resources, grammars, terminology or domain
specific databases and dictionaries, ontologies, multimedia databases, etc.
LRs also cover basic software tools for the acquisition, preparation,
collection, management, customisation and use of the above mentioned examples.
The relevance of evaluation for language technologies development is
increasingly recognised. This involves assessing the state-of-the-art for a
given technology, measuring the progress achieved within a programme,
comparing different approaches to a given problem, assessing the
availability of technologies for a given application, benchmarking, and
assessing system usability and user satisfaction.
The aim of this conference is to provide an overview of the
state-of-the-art, discuss problems and opportunities, exchange information
regarding LRs, their applications, ongoing and planned activities,
industrial uses and needs, requirements coming from the new e-society, both
with respect to policy issues and to technological and organisational ones.
LREC will also elaborate on evaluation methodologies and tools, explore the
different trends and promote initiatives for international collaboration in
the areas mentioned above.
