by Carlos Areces

********************* Apologies for multiple postings | Please distribute! ********************* Doctoral Consortium at the 8th EUROLAN Summer School * Last Call for Participation * http://eurolan.info.uaic.ro/2007/DC/ July 30 - August 2, 2007, Iasi, Romania Doctoral Consortium - Call for Papers Submission Deadline: May 14, 2007 1. General Information The Doctoral Consortium at EUROLAN-2007 will provide an opportunity for graduate students (PhD and MSc heading towards PhD studies) investigating topics in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing to present their current work and receive constructive feedback and guidance on future research, both from the general audience and the invited lecturers at the Summer School. The Doctoral Consortium will be held as a workshop during 3 or 4 consecutive evenings (1.5 hour slots) in the second week of the EUROLAN 2007 Summer School, July 30 - August 2, 2007. The final version of the accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of the EUROLAN 2007 Doctoral Consortium, at the University Al. I. Cuza Publishing House. During the Summer School the students will present their work, will receive constructive comments wrt. to current and future research directions from a panel of established researchers, and will benefit from the collaborative climate established among all participants, thus enhancing future joint work among them. Students will also prepare a poster which will be on display throughout the Summer School. We invite all interested graduate students to submit their work to the Consortium. As the main goal of the Consortium is for the authors to receive feedback, the emphasis is on work in progress. The research being presented can be from any topic area within Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing, including but not limited to: * phonetics, phonology, and morphology; * pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax, and the lexicon; * text understanding and generation; * computational semantics; * ontology enriched NLP applications; * multilingual NLP; * multilingual question answering; * machine translation; * corpus-based language processing; * electronic dictionaries; * written and spoken natural language interfaces; * knowledge acquisition; * terminology; * text summarisation; * text classification; * computer-aided language learning; * human computer interaction; * language resources; * evaluation, assessment and standards in language engineering; * theoretical and application-oriented papers related to NLP of every kind. Well-known researchers from these areas will be invited lecturers of the school and therefore available for interesting discussions. 2. Submission Requirements The submissions should describe original work, still in progress. The submissions may have more than one author; however, all of them MUST be students (PhD and MSc heading towards PhD). The paper should include: * the problem(s) that the proposed research is addressing; * the main contribution(s) of the research to the CL & NLP field; * the proposed solution(s), including a brief description of the methodology adopted; * the future research plan. 3. Submission Procedure Submission must be electronic. The only format acceptable is PDF (.pdf). Submissions should not exceed 8 pages, including references and annexes and should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings. The papers will be uploaded on a special page, http://www.easychair.org/EUROLAN2007DC/ , announced on the web page of the Doctoral Consortium, where more submission guidelines are available. 4. Important Dates * Paper submissions deadline: May 14, 2007 * Notification of acceptance: June 4, 2007 * Camera ready papers due: June 25, 2007 * Doctoral Consortium: July 30 - August 2, 2007 * Summer School dates: July 23 - August 3, 2007 5.

Leymarie talk postponed

by Kovacs Ilona

Frederic Fol Leymarie's lecture at BME on the 10th of May is cancelled. He will present his lecture on the 14 of May instead. Frederic Fol Leymarie Dept of Computing, Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK 3D shape representation via Medial Scaffolds --- theory and applications 2007, május 14 - 12:00 óra BME, Stoczek u. 2. ST épület, III. em 320. Abstract: I will describe elements of a shape language for 3D objects and space. This early version of a shape language builds on the work and collaboration from the fields of Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computational Geometry, Visual Perception, Arts and the Humanities. It is based on a representation for shapes taking the form of graphs, called "shock graphs" in 2D and "shock and medial scaffolds" in 3D. These incorporate ideas from well-known concepts such as the "medial axis" of H. Blum (pattern recognition), Voronoi diagrams and recent results from Singularity theory. I will illustrate the use of theses graphs in various applications. http://www.doc.gold.ac.uk/morpholingua/ <http://www.doc.gold.ac.uk/morpholingua/> http://doc.gold.ac.uk/~ffl/ <http://doc.gold.ac.uk/%7Effl/>

Ramsey et al/Animal innovation: BBS Call for Commentators

by Behavioral & Brain Sciences

Dear Dr. Qwerty, ================================================================== *** CALL RESPONSE INSTRUCTIONS *** ================================================================== Please DO NOT respond to this email. If you wish to submit a proposal for commentary and/or suggest potential commentators, please go to the new Online Commentary Proposal System at the following URL: http://www.bbsonline.org/perl/commentary/commproposal?authordir=Ramsey-0824… * If you only wish to suggest potential commentators, please ignore prompts to submit a proposal with expertise information. * If you experience technical difficulties, please email bbs(a)bbsonline.org. * Please respond to this Call no later than May 17, 2007 NOTE: Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) is an international, interdisciplinary journal providing Open Peer Commentary on important and controversial current research in the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences. Commentators must be BBS Associates, or suggested by a BBS Associate. If you are not a BBS Associate, please follow the instructions linked below: http://www.bbsonline.org/Instructions/associnst.html ================================================================== ** Target Article Information ** ================================================================== To help you decide whether you would be an appropriate commentator for this article, an unedited, uncorrected target article is retrievable at the URL that follows the abstract and keywords below.

Please DO NOT write a commentary until you receive a formal invitation. If you are invited to submit a commentary, a copyedited, corrected version of this paper will be posted in the invitation letter. The commentary invitation list is compiled by the Editors so as to balance proposals, areas of expertise, and frequency of prior commentaries in BBS. TITLE: Animal innovation defined and operationalized AUTHOR: Grant Ramsey, Meredith L. Bastian, and Carel van Schaik ABSTRACT: Innovation is a key component of most definitions of culture and intelligence. Additionally, innovations may affect a species ecology and evolution. Nonetheless, conceptual and empirical work on innovation has only recently begun. In particular, largely because the existing operational definition (first occurrence in a population) requires long-term studies of populations, there has been no systematic study of innovation in wild animals. To facilitate such study, we have produced a new definition of innovation: Innovation is the process generates in an individual a novel learned behavior that is not simply a consequence of social learning or environmental induction. Using this definition, we propose a new operational approach for distinguishing innovations in the field. The operational criteria employ information from the following sources: (1) the behaviors geographic and local prevalence and individual frequency; (2) properties of the behavior, such as the social role of the behavior, the context in which the behavior is exhibited, and its similarity to other behaviors; (3) changes in the occurrence of the behavior over time; and (4) knowledge of spontaneous or experimentally induced behavior in captivity. These criteria do not require long-term studies at a single site, but information from multiple populations of a species will generally be needed. These criteria are systematized into a dichotomous key that can be used to assess whether a behavior observed in the field is likely to be an innovation. KEYWORDS: behavior, culture, improvisation, innovation, invention, operational definition, social learning.
