wiss-org-24.7.09.-18.3.10: Obituary for PN Kaula
On behalf of Ingetraut Dahlberg I am sending an obituary for P.N. Kaula by our former ISKO member M.P. Satija Mit freundlichen Gruessen, With kind regards, Sincères salutations, H. Peter OHLY - An Obituary of Prof. PN Kaula: Professor P.N. Kaula: Another Titan Gone Professor Prithvi Nath Kaula who died suddenly at the age of 85 on 30th August 2009 at Lucknow due to cardiac arrest lived his life to the full and to the last lees. He was born to a Kashmiri Brahmin school teacher in Sri Nagar on 25th March 1924. Thirst for knowledge brought him from Kashmir to Madras to study Library Science. Perceiving the determination of the boy S.R. Ranganathan took him under his tutelage and admitted him in his class of 1944 first in Madras and then in at Benaras Hindu University. Kaula become his life long disciple who revered Ranganathan which became a living model of the ancient Indian Guru-Chela tradition. He avowed his professional achievements and status entirely to Ranganathan. Citing his own example he would quite often say that his Guru had the capacity to forge a man out of clay. Indeed he was an able and vocal ambassador of Ranganathan and Indian Librarianship. Professor Kaula was a man of many parts, who rose to become a highly experienced and most visible face of Indian Librarianship both at home and abroad. Only sky was his limit. A learned teacher, a voluble speaker, a hardworking and skilful editor and an organizer par excellence, he had many firsts to his credits including the first full professorship in India that was at BHU. He had a penchant to parade his achievements to inspire lesser professionals like us. Indeed the catalogue of his achievements and recognitions in the form of many festschrifts, medals, documentaries, full length books, citations, nominations and invitations is long, varied and truly unique. It culminates with the covetous award of Padmashri by the President of India in 2004. He deemed that as recognition of the Indian library profession and blessings of his guru from his heavenly abode. Entrusting his ailing wife to the tender cares of his son, like Ulysses he will not rest from travel nor could resist it to conquer new and far away professional territories till the death closed it all.. He lived no life other than of librarianship. Fame never spoiled his head with haughtiness who eagerly communicated with mighty and laity. Humility was his hallmark. He always spotted talent and encouraged it and awarded, too. Many a green horn has become authors due to his grooming and guidance. He would spend hours on an article sent by a budding professional to correct and polish it to make it publishable. For promotion of librarianship he established a family trust named after him. Therein he found a dedicated Secretary, Dr Velaga Venkatappiah, who served him selflessly. One major function of the trust is to recognize without compromise internationally meritorious professionals to award them with Kaula Gold Medals. His awardees which include Bernard Palmer, Dean Jesse Shera and Allen Gilchrist make a tally of noble laureates of the library profession. For home the trust instituted Ranganathan-Kaula Medal. Being a prolific and lucid author he has left behind a voluminous body of writings in the form of books, articles, lectures reports, editorials, and notes and news. Yet he will be remembered for his journal Herald of Library Science that he founded 45years ago. It is a peerless model in format and contents. Writing came naturally and effortlessly to him. He always advised his followers to practice work chastity and work more than you are paid for. Indeed he did what he preached. In his death we have lost an able advocate, a guiding force which will be missed for long. It closes another era of librarianship having a direct link with Ranganathan. Such heroic lives are not mourned but celebrated and deified.

Information how to permanently unsubscribe from the list can be found on the bottom of this e-mail. Please forward this message to colleagues that may be interested in our conference. Sincerely, CL-A Organizing Committee Computational Linguistics - Applications (CLA'10) Wisła, Poland, October 18-20, 2010 http://CLA2010.imcsit.org http://CLA2010.imcsit.org http://CLA2010.imcsit.org http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=212819479326 http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=212819479326 http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=212819479326 If you have your account at Facebook you can also join a group: HERE http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=212819479326 . Workshop Goals The Computational Linguistics - Applications Workshop was created in 2008 in response to the fast-paced progress in the area. Traditionally, computational linguistics was limited to the scientists specialized in the processing of a natural language by computers. Scientific approaches and practical techniques come from linguistics, computer science, psychology, and mathematics. Nowadays, there is a number of practical applications available. These applications are sometimes developed by smart yet NLP-untrained developers who solve the problems using sophisticated heuristics. Computational Linguistics needs to be applied to make the full use of the Internet. There is a definite need for software that can handle unstructured text to allow search for information on the web. According to the European Commission, Human Language Technologies are one of the key research areas for the upcoming years. The priority aim of the research in this area is to enable users to communicate with the computer in their native language. CLA'10 Workshop is a place where the parties meet to exchange views and ideas with a benefit to all involved. The Workshop will focus on practical outcome of modeling human language use and the applications needed to improve human-machine interaction. Paper Topics This call is for papers that present research and developments on all aspects of Natural Language Processing used in real-life applications, such as (this list is not exhaustive): * information retrieval * extraction of linguistic knowledge from text corpora * semantic ontologies in computer linguistics * lexical resources * machine translation and translation aids * ambiguity resolution * text classification * corpus-based language modeling * POS-tagging * parsing issues * proofing tools * dialogue systems * machine learning methods applied to language processing * ontology and taxonomy evaluation * opinion mining * question answering * sentiment analysis * speech and audio processing * text summarization * use of NLP techniques in practical applications Paper Presentation The presentation of the paper has to include a demonstration of an existing tool. The papers should include a section describing the tool (or a prototype), which demonstrates the theory discussed in the paper. The presentation is divided into two parts. First, the author(s) shortly demonstrate their tools to the audience. In the second part, the authors discuss their work with other participants and let the audience test their software. Papers will be evaluated and accepted on the basis of their technical merit, usefulness of the real life application and relevance to the workshop scope by the CLA'10 Program Committee. The paper will be assessed by academics as well as industry representatives in order to assure fair and balanced assessment. All accepted and presented papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings and included in the IEEE Xplore® database. The best demonstrations will be selected to be shown to the general audience of the conference at a plenary session. Papers Submission * Authors should submit draft papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord file). * The total length of a paper should not exceed 8 pages (IEEE style). IEEE style templates will be available ASAP. * Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the workshop. * Accepted and Presented paper will be published in the Conference Proceedings and included in the IEEE Xplore® database. * Organizers reserve right to move accepted papers between IMCSIT events. Important dates 31.05.2010 (May 31, 2010) - Full paper submission

To stimulate interchange of ideas and knowledge between them in an attempt to broaden and enrich their pursuit for scientific excellence in the area of WI-IAT. * To discuss on challenging problems and large projects in different countries, and potential commercial projects. Much effort will be devoted to bringing together in one place both rookie and experienced researchers, and to stimulating a vivid discussion and exchange of ideas. Several established researchers in the areas of WI and IAT will be invited to participate and discuss with younger colleagues. The workshop will consist of several presentations by contributing authors. The length and distribution of presentations will depend on number and topics of contributions. The organisers plan to provide sufficient amount of time for questions as well as formal and informal discussion. PROCEEDINGS AND POST-WORKSHOP PUBLICATIONS == The Workshop proceedings volume will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, to be indexed by EI. All accepted contributions will be included in the volume. Doctoral workshop has the same status as all other WI-IAT 2010 workshops. Also, the authors of most interesting projects who already have results ready to publish may get the recommendation and support from members of Workshop Committee to submit their work to leading journals in the field. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS === All types of doctoral students are eligible to submit description of their projects to Doctoral Workshop. No preference is made with respect to the scientific field they represent as long as the project they present is relevant to the WI-IAT topics. As the contributions are supposed to explain the current work, they shall include clearly defined motivation, reference to related work, research problems/questions, approach used, description of contributions and prospects for future work. All submitted papers will be reviewed by program committee members on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 4 pages (only one additional page is allowed and extra payment is required for the additional page). The papers must be in English and should be formatted according to the IEEE 2-column format (see the Author Guidelines at http://www.yorku.ca/wiiat10/contributors.php). The workshop only accepts on-line submissions. Please use the Workshop Submission Page on the WI-IAT'2010 website to submit your paper. The authors of accepted contributions will be asked to submit final version and register for the conference. In addition, they may be asked to provide organisers with short CV and/or the letter of support/recommendation from the supervisor/advisor of their doctoral programme. The Organisers wish to encourage all students pursuing their doctoral research to submit their contributions. We also encourage advisors/supervisors of doctoral students to direct their young co-workers towards this event. In particular, participation in the Doctoral Workshop may be a very good addition to taking

Almost all current systems are trying to make best use of a single kind of data, and are designed for specific domains and applications, without explicitly addressing the heterogeneity of the existing information. As an example, some systems are based on analyzing user ratings, while others concentrate on understanding purchase history. Recognizing this limitation, research attention has been given to finding ways for combining/integrating/mediating user models for the purpose of providing better personalized services to users in many information seeking and ecommerce services. See for example the work done in the series of UbiqUM workshops that traditionally takes place at conferences related to user modelling, such as UMAP, IUI and ECAI. In spite of prior work, however, the issue remained one of the major challenges for recommender systems. The heterogeneity of personal information sources can be identified in any of the three pillars of a recommendation algorithm: the modelling of user preferences, the description of resource contents, and the modelling and exploitation of the context in which recommendations are made. Increasingly, users create and manage more and more profiles in online systems for different purposes, such as leisure (e.g., Facebook), professional interests (e.g., LinkedIn), or specialized applications (e.g., LearnCentral for educational issues, PatientsLikeMe for health issues, etc.). Similarly, rated, tagged or bookmarked resources belong to distinct multimedia: text (e.g., del.icio.us, BibSonomy, Google News), image (e.g., Flickr, Picasa), audio (e.g., Last.fm, Spotify), or video (e.g., MovieLens, NetFlix, YouTube). Moreover, recommendation algorithms may also present heterogeneity based on different types of input (e.g., explicit feedback from ratings, reviews, tags, etc. vs. implicit feedback from records of views, queries and purchases), or based on different levels of input granularities (e.g., a user may not only rate individual songs, but also albums, artists or even a full music genre). Finally, contextual factors also increase heterogeneity in recommender systems. Location and time are key external elements that may affect the relevance of the recommendations, as shown in recent works. Many other factors can be taken into account as well, such as physical and social environment, device and network settings, and external events, to name a few. Approaches that integrate several of these factors into recommendation models are needed. HetRec workshop aims to attract the attention of students, faculty and professionals both from academia and industry who are interested in addressing and exploiting any of the above forms of information heterogeneity and fusion in recommender systems. The work goals are broad. First, we would like to raise awareness of the potential of using multiple information sources. Then, we look for sharing expertise and suitable models. Another dire need is for strong datasets, and one of our aims is to establish benchmarks and standard datasets on which the problem would be studied following the workshop. Our hope is that this workshop will put a basis for a line of works, and will help shaping the research agenda. ++ Topics of interest ++ The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in addressing the challenges posed by information heterogeneity in recommender systems and studying information fusion in this context. We aim at identifying the main challenges, suggesting and discussing novel ideas for addressing
