Linguistic annotation of natural language corpora is the backbone of
supervised methods of statistical natural language
processing. Annotation encodes human knowledge about linguistic
phenomena that can be modelled statistically and reproduced by
automatic procedures. This meeting will provide a forum for annotation
researchers to work towards standardization, best practices and
interoperability, as well as to share innovative research in corpus
annotation. We invite submissions of long and short papers, posters,
and demonstrations relating to all aspects of the linguistic
annotation of corpora.
The workshop will begin with a half-day session (afternoon of May 26) devoted to SIGANN working group sessions on Shared Corpus Annotation and Best Practice Guidelines, together with a poster/demo session. A full-day session (May 27) will be devoted to paper presentations. A separate call for participation in the SIGANN working groups sessions to be held on May 26 will be issued, soliciting annotations of the SIGANN shared corpus and proposals for best practices/standards in linguistic annotations. We urge members of the community interested in working on any aspect of harmonization of linguistic annotations to participate.
