https://sisu.ut.ee/iwclul2019: IWCLUL 2019 Fifth International Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Uralic Languages is organised by ACL SIGUR (and University of Tartu) on January, 2019, Tartu, Estonia The final proceedings version will be available in the ACL SIGUR section of ACL anthology. Submission Via Easychair: [3]https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwclul2019 Important dates * 29 June 2018: Call for papers announced * 1st October 2018 2nd call for papers * 12th November 2018: Paper submission deadline * 6th December 2018: Paper notification * 21st December 2018: Camera-ready deadline * 7th–8th January 2019: Workshop held in Tartu Call for papers The purpose of the conference series International Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Uralic Languages is to bring together researchers working on computational approaches to working with these languages. We accept long and short papers as well as tutorial proposals working on the following languages: Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian, Võro, the Sámi languages, Komi (Zyrian, Permyak), Mordvin (Erzya, Moksha), Mari (Hill, Meadow), Udmurt, Nenets (Tundra, Forest), Enets, Nganasan, Selkup, Mansi, Khanty, Veps, Karelian (Olonets), Karelian, Ingrian (Izhorian), Votic, Livonian, Ludic, and other related languages. All Uralic languages exhibit rich morphological structure, which makes processing them challenging for state-of-the-art computational linguistic approaches, the majority also suffer from a lack of resources and many are endangered. Research papers should be original, substantial and unpublished research, that can describe work-in-progress systems, frameworks, standards and evaluation schemes. Demos and tutorials will present systems and standards towards the goal of interoperability and unification of different projects, applications and research groups Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to): * Parsers, analysers and processing pipelines of Uralic languages * Lexical databases, electronic dictionaries * Finished end-user applications aimed at Uralic languages, such as spelling or grammar checkers, machine translation or speech processing * Evaluation methods and gold standards, tagged corpora, treebanks * Reports on language-independent or unsupervised methods as applied to Uralic languages * Surveys and review articles on subjects related to computational linguistics for one or more Uralic languages * Any work that aims at combining efforts and reducing duplication of work * How to elicit activity from the language community, agitation campaigns, games with a purpose To maximise the possibility of reproducibility, replication and reuse, we particularly encourage submissions which present free/open-source language resources and make use of free/open-source software. One of the aims of this gathering is to avoid unnecessary duplicated work in field of Uralistics by establishing connections and interoperability standards between researchers and research groups working at different sites. We have also identified a serious lack of gold standards and evaluation metrics for all Uralic languages including those with national support, any work towards better resources in these fields will be greatly appreciated. In this year’s edition, we encourage people to present comparative evaluations of different NLP methods as applied to Uralic languages. With all the buzz around neural and deep-learning methods: Are they applicable to Uralic languages, which in general have very little training data --- even monolingual data --- and also richer morphology than the more widely treated Indo-European languages. Submission of papers Language of submission: Submissions should be made in English or Russian with an obligatory abstract in at least one of the Uralic Language(s). Double submission: To maximise the impact of work in the field of computational linguistics for the Uralic languages we are open to the possibility of double submission, or submission of work which has been partially published elsewhere. Any double submission should however be reported to the programme committee at the time of submission. In the advent of double acceptance the authors should choose in which venue to publish. Publication venue: Proceedings of the workshop will be published open-access in ACL anthology, SIG proceedings for SIGUR. Conflicts of interest: The reviewing process will be anonymous (double-blind peer review).
