| + | Wonderful goods from you, man. I've have in mind your stuff prior to and you're simply too exllecent. I really like what you have acquired right here, really like what you are saying and the way by which you are saying it. You are making it enjoyable and you still take care of to keep it smart. I can't wait to learn much more from you. This is actually a terrific web site. |

| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
