Call for Contribution
3rd MUSICNETWORK Open Workshop
MPEG AHG on Music Notation Requirements
13-14 of March 2004, Munich, Germany
http://www.interactivemusicnetwork.org
http://www.dsi.unifi.it/~nesi/mpeg/ahg-mn-65-66.html
http://www.dsi.unifi.it/~nesi/mpeg/MUSICNETWORK-OW-March-2004-Description-v1-4-clean.htm
located at:
Technische Universität München, Germany: http://www.mpeg-68.de/location.php
The Open Workshop of MUSICNETWORK is at its third edition. The modeling of
music notation/representation is a complex problem. Music representation can
be used for several different purposes: entertainment, music education,
infotainment, music archiving and retrieval, music querying, music
production, music profiling, etc. In the current Internet and Multimedia age
many other applications are strongly getting the market attention and
most of
them will become more diffuse of the present applications in short time. End
users have discovered the multimedia experience, and thus, the traditional
music models are going to be replaced by their integration with multimedia,
audio visual, cross media. At present, there is a lack of Music
Notation/Representation standard integrated with multimedia. The aim of this
workshop is to make a further step to arrive at standardizing a Music
Notation/Representation Model and Decoder integrated into the MPEG
environment, that presently can be regarded as the most active and powerful
set of standard formats for multimedia consumers.
This 3rd Open Workshop is collocated with the MPEG meeting which starts its
activities in the same location the following Monday. This MUSICNETWORK Open
Workshop is mainly focused at the standardization activities of MPEG and in
particular on the work performed by the AHG (Ad Hoc Group) on Music Notation
Requirements: http://www.dsi.unifi.it/~nesi/mpeg/ahg-mn-65-66.html
The Open Workshop is organized in three different activities or
sub-workshops. The contributions to the mentioned activities have to be
proposed with a short summary within the 31st of January, 2004.
The workshop goal is to arrive at finalizing a call for technology in the
MPEG standardization committee on the basis of the work performed by the AHG
and in the Open Workshop. The technical proposals received will be discussed
for their presentation and finalization at the workshop.

Subject: ePrints UK Workshop
Dear All,
The ePrints UK Project
(<http://www.rdn.ac.uk/projects/eprints-uk/>http://www.rdn.ac.uk/projects/eprints-uk/)
will be running a series of 5 workshops around the UK that will provide an
introduction to eprints and institutional repositories and
the issues surrounding them. These workshops will be aimed at
HE/FE librarians, information systems staff and academics and will be free
to attend.
You may have seen mailings about the first two workshops to
be held at Bath and Oxford in February and March, both
workshops are now full.
We are now pleased to offer two more workshops at Edinburgh and Nottingham:
Edinburgh - Friday 14th May 2004 - Brenda Moon Suite in the Library at
Edinburgh University
<http://www.rdn.ac.uk/projects/eprints-uk/workshops/edinburgh/>http://www.rdn.ac.uk/projects/eprints-uk/workshops/edinburgh/
Nottingham - Monday 24th May
2004 - Postgrad medical centre at Nottingham University
<http://www.rdn.ac.uk/projects/eprints-uk/workshops/nottingham/>http://www.rdn.ac.uk/projects/eprints-uk/workshops/nottingham/
Any questions on the event please contact Natasha Piper
(<mailto:n.piper@ukoln.ac.uk>n.piper@ukoln.ac.uk) or Sarah Smith
(<mailto:s.smith@ukoln.ac.uk>s.smith@ukoln.ac.uk).
The ePrints UK project is developing a series of national,
discipline-focused services through which the higher and further
education community can access the collective output of e-print papers
available from compliant Open Archive repositories, particularly those
provided by UK universities and colleges.

2ND CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on
COMPILING AND PROCESSING SPOKEN LANGUAGE CORPORA
http://lands.let.kun.nl/CPSLC/
Centro Cultural de Belem, Lisbon, Portugal
24th May 2004
Workshop to be held in conjunction with
the 4th International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC
2004)
Main conference: 26-27-28 May 2004
http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2004/
Aim
The aim of the workshop is to bring together people working on the
development (compilation and processing) of spoken language corpora.* The
workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to exchange views
and share experiences. Moreover, the workshop is instrumental in taking
stock of and evaluating the present state-of-the-art. The workshop thus
aims to contribute to the development of a future roadmap that will guide
the development of standards, tools, etc. for use with spoken language corpora.
*The term 'spoken language corpora' is used here to distinguish such
corpora from speech corpora or speech databases: speech corpora are
collections of spoken data that are typically recorded for specific
purposes by specific users (speech corpora/databases such as SpeechDat Car
that are used for developing consumer applications). Usually such databases
lack the richness of linguistic annations that is pursued for spoken
language corpora.
Background and motivation
Despite the wide experience gained in the compilation of written language
corpora, working with spoken language data is not immediately
straightforward as spoken language involves many novel aspects that need to
be taken care of. The fact that spoken language is transient is sometimes
offered as an explanation for why it is more difficult to collect spoken
data than it is to compile a corpus of written data. However, it is not
just the capturing of data that is anything but trivial. Once the (audio)
data have been collected and stored, the next step is to produce some kind
of transcript (whether orthographic or phonetic). Further annotations such
as POS tagging, lemmatisation, syntactic annotation, and prosodic
annotation may then build upon this transcription. Among the problems
encountered in the processing of spoken language data are the following:
* There is as yet little experience with the large scale
transcription of spoken language data. Procedures and guidelines must be
developed, and tools implemented.
* Well-established practices that have originated from working on
written language corpora do not hold up when trying to cope with the
idiosyncracies of the spoken language. This is true for all levels of
linguistic annotation. Annotation schemes need to be reconsidered and tools
must be adapted.
* In so far as standards have emerged (eg CES), they need to be
adapted in order to be able to cater for the needs of spoken language corpora.
* By their very nature, spoken language corpora bring together
speech and language technologists and linguists from various backgrounds.
Ideally, such corpora should address the needs of all these different user
groups. Often, however, there is a conflict of interest. For example, the
quality of recordings of spontaneous conversations in noisy environments
although highly interesting and worthwhile from a linguistic perspective
will prove too poor to be of any use to someone doing research into speech
recognition.
Workshop topics
Topics of interest include orthographic transcription, phonetic
transcription, prosodic annotation, segmentation, POS tagging and
lemmatisation, parsing, and discourse analysis. Contributions on the
development and implementation of standards or guidelines for spoken
language corpora (annotation schemes, meta-data descriptions) are also
invited, as are contributions describing software for the exploitation of
spoken language corpora.
