Contributors and participants are invited: (i) To compare and, to the >> extent possible, interchange data, tools, approaches, and standards that make >> historical texts accessible to automatic processing. In line with the general >> topic of Konvens2012, specific attention will be paid to the adoption of >> empirical methods. (ii) To discuss ways and strategies for shaping HLT >> resources (tools, data and metadata) in ways that are maximally beneficial >> for researchers in the Humanities. >> In the workshop, historical texts are understood in two ways: Texts as >> documents of older forms of languages and linguistic varietes, and texts as >> documentations of historical content, in variosu domains (like medicine, >> philopshy, etc.). Therefore the workshop will not only be concerned with >> questions of collecting, representing, processing and exchanging corpora of >> historical texts and respective tools, but also with finding ways to >> correlate linguistic information with data representing extra-linguistic >> historical context. >> Topic areas that will be addressed in LThist 2012 comprise (but are not >> limited to) methods and tools: for processing historical texts making use of >> rule-based as well as statistical approaches; for building corpora of >> historical texts and languages; for integrating multimedia and multimodal >> aspects (text and image) in historical corpora; for building concrete >> applications and creating concrete infrastructures supporting the >> collaboration between HLT and DH. >> >> TOPICS (indicative list): >> >> · Building corpora of historical text >> · Extraction of lexicographic information from historical texts >> (eLexicography) >> · Methods and tools for processing of historical corpora - rule-based vs. >> statistical approaches, with a particular focus on addressing differences to >> processing modern corpora, and related implications for the development of >> respective natural language processing tools >> · Multimedia/modal aspects (text and image) in historical corpora >> · Representational issues, for example inclusion of temporal information >> in historical corpora and lexicons >> · Interaction with historical and social sciences, inclusion of >> non-linguistic data in historical corpora and lexicons, and related >> requirements on knowledge representation >> · Applications in the various fields of Language Technology (HLT) and >> Digital Humanities (DH) >> · Interaction and integration of standards in the HLT and DH fields >> · Infrastructures for HLT and DH collaborations >> >> SUBMISSION: >> >> The authors are invited to prepare 2 types of submissions >> 1. Full papers describing accomplished work (8 pages + references) >> 2. Short papers on-ongoing work or concrete proposals (4 pages + >> references) >> >> Submission guidelines: http://www.oegai.at/konvens2012/formatting.shtml >> >> Submission system: ps://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lthist2012 >> >> IMPORTANT DATES >> >> June 15, 2012: Paper Submission Deadline >> July 20, 2012: Notification to the Authors >> August 27, 2012: Camera Ready Versions >> September 21, 2012: Workshop >> >> ORGANIZERS >> >> Thierry Declerck, DFKI GmbH, Germany & ICLTT-ÖAW, Austria >> Brigitte Krenn, ÖFAI, Vienna, Austria >> Karlheinz Mörth, ICLTT-ÖAW, Vienna, Austria >> >> For any questions, please contact Thierry Declerck ([log in to unmask]) >> >> >> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >> You and/or your colleagues might be also interested in submitting to the main >> conference.
