6th Workshop on Statistical Parsing of Morphologically Rich Languages (SPMRL 2015)
ENDORSED BY SIGPARSE
Co-located with IWPT 2015, July 23rd in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain
Deadlines: June 10 (long+short paper)
Outline
Statistical parsing of morphologically-rich languages has repeatedly been shown to exhibit non-trivial challenges including, among others, sparse lexica in the face of rich inflectional systems, parsing deficiency in the face of free word order and treebank annotation idiosyncrasies in the face of morphosyntactic interactions.
Areas of interest
The areas of interest of the SPMRL workshop include, but are not limited to, the following list of topics:
- Applying cutting-edge parsing techniques to new languages and domains; Insights and techniques that are targeted at improving parsing quality for morphologically-rich languages.
- Strengths and weaknesses of current parsing techniques when applied to morphologically-rich languages.
- Approaches to integrate syntactic parsing with associated tasks such as segmentation, morphological disambiguation, or semantic structure building.
- Using insights from parsing and associated processing problems to motivate decisions in the creation of syntactically annotated corpora in new languages, domains, and/or varieties; suitability of language-universal annotation schemes from a processing viewpoint.
Important Dates
| Submission deadline | June 10, 2015 |
| Author notification | June 24, 2015 |
| Camera ready copy | July 10, 2015 |
| Workshop | July 23, 2015 |
How to Submit
We solicit both long papers and short papers.
Long papers (up to 9 pages excluding references) are most appropriate for presenting substantial and completed research.
Short papers (up to 5 pages excluding references) are suited for presenting work in progress, position papers or short, focused contributions.
Both long and short papers should present original, unpublished research. They will be peer reviewed and will be presented either as an oral talk or as a poster at the workshop, and be included in the workshop proceedings.
Authors of accepted short papers who do not want their papers included in the proceedings have the alternative option of linking to a non-archival version of their paper (e.g. a preprint on ArXiv.org).
Submissions will be accepted until June 10th, 2015 (11:59, PST) in PDF format via the START system: http://www.softconf.com/e/spmrl2015/
