4th Workshop on Indian Language Data: Resources and Evaluation (WILDRE-4) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Saturday, 12th May 2018 Venue: Phoenix Seagaia Resort, Miyazaki, Japan (Organized under LREC2018 (07-12 May 2018) Website: Main website - http://sanskrit.jnu.ac.in/conf/wildre4 Submit papers on - http://www.softconf.com/lrec2018/WILDRE/ LREC website: http://lrec2018.lrec-conf.org/en/ ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- WILDRE – the 4th workshop on Indian Language Data: Resources and Evaluation is being organized in Miyazaki, Japan on 12h May, 2018 under the LREC platform. India has a huge linguistic diversity and has seen concerted efforts from the Indian government and industry towards developing language resources. European Language Resource Association (ELRA) and its associate organizations have been very active and successful in addressing the challenges and opportunities related to language resource creation and evaluation. It is therefore a great opportunity for resource creators of Indian languages to showcase their work on this platform and also to interact and learn from those involved in similar initiatives all over the world. The broader objectives of the WILDRE will be - To map the status of Indian Language Resources - To investigate challenges related to creating and sharing various levels of language resources - To promote a dialogue between language resource developers and users - To provide opportunity for researchers from India to collaborate with researchers from other parts of the world *DATES* January 18, 2018 Paper submissions due *(**No extension**)* February 15, 2018 Paper notification of acceptance March 01, 2018 Camera-ready papers due May 12, 2018 Workshop *SUBMISSIONS* Papers must describe original, completed or in progress, and unpublished work. Each submission will be reviewed by three program committee members. Accepted papers will be given up to 10 pages (for full papers) 5 pages (for short papers and posters) in the workshop proceedings, and will be presented oral presentation or poster. Papers should be formatted according to the LREC style-sheet, which is provided on the LREC 2018 website (http://lrec2018.lrec-conf.org /en/submission/authors-kit/). Please submit papers in PDF format to the LREC website. We are seeking submissions under the following category - Full papers (10 pages) - Short papers (work in progress – 5 pages) - Posters (innovative ideas/proposals, research proposal of students) - Demo (of working online/standalone systems) WILDRE-4 will have a special focus on Demos of Indian Language Technology. In the past few years, as more resources have been developed and made available, there has been an increased activity in developing usable technology using these. WILDRE-4 would like to encourage and widen the Demo track to allow the community to showcase their demos and have mutually beneficial interactions with each other as well as resource developers. WILRE-4 will invite technical, policy and position paper submissions on the following topics related to Indian Language Resources: - Digital Humanities, heritage computing - Corpora - text, speech, multimodal, methodologies, annotation and tools - Lexicons and Machine-readable dictionaries - Ontologies, Grammars - Language resources for basic NLP, IR, Machine Translation and Speech Technology tasks, tools and Infrastructure for constructing and sharing language resources - Standards or specifications for language resources applications - Licensing and copyright issues Both submission and review processes handled electronically. The review process will be *double blind*. The workshop website will provide the submission guidelines and the link for the electronic submission. When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC authors to share the described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.), to enable their reuse, replicability of experiments, including evaluation ones, etc. For further information on this initiative, please refer to http://lrec2018.lrec-conf.org/en/ *Conference Chairs* - Girish Nath Jha, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India - Kalika Bali, Microsoft Research India Lab, Bangalore, India - Sobha L, AU-KBC, Anna University, Chennai, India *Program Committee (to be updated)* 1.
