4 - 6 November 2015, Granada 

11th International Conference on Terminology and Artificial Intelligence

"Multilingual Terminology, Ontologies and Knowledge Representation Models"

Terminology and Artificial Intelligence (TIA) 2015 will be the 11th in a series of successful events which initially took place in the francophone world. Since the first conference 20 years ago, TIA has increasingly attracted the attention of many researchers and practitioners all over the world because of the interest of the topics addressed.  As a reflection of the internationalization, this year, for the first time, the TIA Conference will be held outside of France in Granada, Spain. The conference will be organized by the LexiCon research group of the Translation and Interpreting School at the University of Granada.

TIA 2015 will highlight the close connection between multilingual terminology, ontologies, and the representation of specialized knowledge. Today’s networked society has generated an increasing number of contexts where multilingualism challenges current knowledge representation methods and techniques. There is thus the urgent need for high-quality multilingual knowledge resources that are able to bridge communication barriers, and which can be linked and shared. Accordingly, the TIA 2015 Conference will provide a forum for interdisciplinary research that focuses on the intersection of different disciplines dealing with terminology, multilingualism, lexicology, ontology, and knowledge representation.

 

Featured plenary speakers:

 

  • Paul Buitelaar, National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland

  • Ricardo Mairal Usón, Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), Madrid, Spain

  • The Sketch Engine as a terminology tool

 

A central challenge of terminology is: finding the terms. Given a document, or set of documents in a domain, what are the terms that it contains?

 

The Sketch Engine is a leading corpus tool, used for lexicography at Oxford and Cambridge University Presses, Collins, Macmillan, and at national language institutes in nine countries; also for language research and teaching at several hundred universities worldwide. It has recently been adopted for terminology work at the World Intellectual Property Organisation and elsewhere. In this workshop, we shall look at the Sketch Engine functions for finding terminology in a corpus (in any of the major world languages), for finding terms and their translations in parallel text, and for further exploring terms to find their meaning and their usual contexts and collocations. We shall also examine ways of integrating the Sketch Engine into translators' and terminologists' workflows.

 

The workshop will be hands-on. Participants are encouraged to come with both laptops/tablets, and with data sets from which they would like to extract the terms!

#SUBMISSION 

  • Call for papers:

 

TIA 2015 solicits both regular papers, which present significant work, and short papers, which typically present work in progress or a smaller, focused contribution. The program committee may decide to change the category of a paper before acceptance.

 

Regular papers, in English, French, or Spanish should not exceed 8 pages in ACL-HLT 2011 format (see below for LaTeX and MS Word style files), including figures, examples and references. The mode of presentation of long papers (orally or as posters) will be decided based on the nature rather than on the quality of the work.

Short papers should not exceed 4 pages in the same format as regular papers. They will also be presented orally or as posters at the conference depending on the nature of the work.

 

Regardless of the language of the paper, all paper presentations will be in English. The submission deadline is June 30.

 

Authors should submit the papers in PDF through the TIA submission page at Easychair:

 

The submission process is the following:

 

Before June 30th, author should fill in the easyChair on-line submission provide the following information:

 

  • Name(s) of author(s) 

  • Affiliation(s), addresses, fax and e-mail 

  • Title of the paper 

  • 5 to 10 key words in English as well as in French or Spanish (depending on the language of the paper) 

 

As the reviewing will be blind, the paper itself must not include the authors' names and affiliations at submission time. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...".

  • Call for posters and demos:

 

​The TIA 2015 Posters and Demonstrations Track complements the Research Paper track of the conference and offers an opportunity for presenting late-breaking research results, on-going research projects, and speculative or innovative work in progress. The informal setting of the Posters and Demonstrations Track encourages presenters and participants to engage in discussions about the presented work.

We invite submissions relevant to the ​ conference topics.  ​Posters,  descriptions of completed work, and work in progress are all welcome. Demonstrations are intended to showcase innovative  implementations and technologies.

Submission information

Authors must submit a ​two-page extended abstract for evaluation.  For demonstrations, authors are strongly encouraged to include in their submission a link to where the demo can be found. They should also make clear what exactly will be demonstrated to the participants​.​ All papers and abstracts have to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair conference submission system:
