*The 8th International Workshop on Cognitive Aspects of the Lexicon* https://sites.google.com/view/cogalex-viii-2024
*Co-located with LREC-COLING 2024* https://lrec-coling-2024.org/ Turin, Italy, 20-25 May 2024 * Important Dates* Submission deadline: February 23, 2024 Date of notification: March 20, 2024 Camera ready deadline: March 29, 2024 CogALex workshop: May 20, 2024 *Meeting Description* The way we look at the lexicon has changed dramatically over the last few decades. While in the past being considered as an appendix to grammar, the lexicon has now moved to the center stage. Indeed, there is hardly any task in NLP that can be conducted without it. Also, many new proposals have emerged during the last few years. Living in a fast-moving world, it is hard for anyone to stay on top of the wave. Hence the reason for organizing events like this. The goal of this workshop is to provide builders and users of lexical resources (researchers in NLP, psychologists, computational lexicographers) a forum to share their knowledge and needs concerning the construction, organization, and use of a lexicon by people (lexical access) and machines (NLP, IR, data mining). Like in the past, we invite researchers to address unsolved problems concerning the lexicon, by considering this time however also Large Language Models (LLMs). More precisely, we would like to explore their potential for building and using lexical resources as well as their ability to shed new light on the cognitive aspects of the lexicon. We solicit contributions including, but not limited to, the topics listed below, topics, which can be considered from any of the following points of view: - traditional-, computational- or corpus linguistics, - neuro- or psycholinguistics (tip of the tongue problem, word associations), - mathematics (embedding-based approaches, graph theory, small-world problems), etc. *Submissions* Possible submission topics are: - The potential of Large Language Models for the creation and use of lexical resources; - Organization, i.e., structure of the lexicon; - The meaning of words and how to reveal it; - Analysis of the conceptual input given by a dictionary user; - Methods for crafting dictionaries or indexes; - Creation of new types of dictionaries; - Dictionary access (navigation and search strategies), interface issues Short papers can be up to 4 pages in length and long papers up to 8 pages. Both submission formats can have an unlimited number of pages for references. To create your document, please follow the guidelines defined by COLING using their style sheets ( https://lrec-coling-2024.org/authors-kit/). The submissions must be anonymous and they will be peer-reviewed by our program committee. The peer review is double blinded. Accepted papers will also be given an additional page to address the reviewers’ comments. Notice that at least one of the authors of an accepted paper must register for the main conference and present the paper. *Submission Page* https://softconf.com/lrec-coling2024/cogalex2024/ *Dual Submission Policy* Papers may not be submitted to the workshop if they are or will be concurrently submitted to another meeting or publication. *Invited Speaker* Prof. Gilles-Maurice de Schryver (Ghent University, Belgium) https://tshwanedje.com/members/gmds/cv.html *Workshop organizers* - Michael Zock (CNRS, LIS, Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France) - Emmanuele Chersoni (Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China) - Yu-Yin Hsu (Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China) - Simon de Deyne (University of Melbourne / School of Psychological Sciences, University of Adelaide)
