*

*PARTICIPATE IN THE LREC 2014 GRAND QUIZ
*

*Please connect to Socrative: 
**http://m.socrative.com/student/#joinRoom**, enter the “room number” 
405787, and click "Join Room". **

***
Then follow the instructions and answer the 20 questions: 18 MCQ and 2 
open questions. The correct answer is the one which is closest to the 
results of the LREC Anthology analysis, that will be presented at the 
LREC 2014 Closing Session.


The normal timing requires that you only click after at least 6 seconds 
of thinking. Then the next question should appear. If you click too 
early, you may not get the next question. If so, click again.

_*
*__*The Quiz should take you 5 to 10 minutes to complete. *_

For this Quiz, we used the online Socrative software, and we would like 
to thank again its developers. However, the software is designed for 
teaching activities. Hence the “Teacher” and “Student” wording, instead 
of “Organizer” and “Participant”, that would fit to our case. The “room” 
can contain up to 150 participants at a time. If the “room” is full up, 
you may have to wait for a while: please try again later!


You will be asked first your name. The policy is that only one answer is 
allowed per participant in the LREC 2014 conference.


After answering the last question, click on “Finish Quick Quiz”, and 
then on the “Logout” flag appearing on the upper left of your screen.


The Quiz will close on Thursday May 29 at 20h00.

Have fun! And be the Grand Winner! But remember: it’s only a game!

*LREC 2014 - 9th Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation**
*
FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

Harpa Conference Center, REYKJAVIK, ICELAND

MAIN CONFERENCE: 28-29-30 MAY 2014
WORKSHOPS and TUTORIALS: 26-27-31 MAY 2014

ELRA is glad to announce the 9th edition of LREC, organised with the 
support of a wide range of international organisations.


*CONFERENCE AIMS*
LREC is the major event on Language Resources (LRs) and Evaluation for 
Human Language Technologies (HLT). LREC aims to provide an overview of 
the state-of-the-art, explore new R&D directions and emerging trends, 
exchange information regarding LRs and their applications, evaluation 
methodologies and tools, on-going and planned activities, industrial 
uses and needs, requirements coming from e-science and e-society, with 
respect both to policy issues and to scientific/technological and 
organisational ones.


LREC provides a unique forum for researchers, industrials and funding 
agencies from across a wide spectrum of areas to discuss problems and 
opportunities, find new synergies and promote initiatives for 
international cooperation, in support of investigations in language 
sciences, progress in language technologies (LT) and development of 
corresponding products, services and applications, and standards.


*CONFERENCE TOPICS*
*Issues in the design, construction and use of LRs: text, speech, 
multimodality*

* Guidelines, standards, best practices and models for LRs interoperability
* Methodologies and tools for LRs construction and annotation
* Methodologies and tools for extraction and acquisition of knowledge
* Ontologies, terminology and knowledge representation
* LRs and Semantic Web
* LRs and Crowdsourcing
* Metadata for LRs and semantic/content mark-up
*Exploitation of LRs in systems and applications *
Sign language, multimedia information and multimodal communication
LRs in systems and applications such as: information extraction, 
information retrieval, audio-visual and multimedia search, speech 
dictation, meeting transcription, Computer Aided Language Learning, 
training and education, mobile communication, machine translation, 
speech translation, summarisation, web services, semantic search, text 
mining, inferencing, reasoning, etc.
* Interfaces: (speech-based) dialogue systems, natural language and 
multimodal/multisensorial interactions, voice-activated services, etc.
* Use of (multilingual) LRs in various fields of application like 
e-government, e-culture, e-health, e-participation, mobile applications, 
digital humanities, etc.

* Industrial LRs requirements, user needs
*Issues in LT evaluation*
* LT evaluation methodologies, protocols and measures
* Validation and quality assurance of LRs
* Benchmarking of systems and products
* Usability evaluation of HLT-based user interfaces and dialogue systems
* User satisfaction evaluation
*General issues regarding LRs & Evaluation*
International and national activities, projects and collaboration
Priorities, perspectives, strategies in national and international 
policies for LRs
Multilingual issues, language coverage and diversity, less-resourced 
languages
Open, linked and shared data and tools, open and collaborative 
architectures

Organisational, economical, ethical and legal issues.

*LREC 2014 HOT TOPICS*

*Big Data, Linked Open Data, LRs and HLT*
The ever-increasing quantities of large and complex digital datasets, 
structured or unstructured, multilingual, multimodal or multimedia, pose 
new challenges but at the same time open up new opportunities for HLT 
and related fields. Ubiquitous data and information capturing devices, 
social media and networks, the web at large with its big data/knowledge 
bases and other information capturing/aggregating/publishing platforms 
are providing useful information and/or knowledge for a wide range of LT 
applications.
LREC 2014 puts a strong emphasis on the synergies of the big Linked Open 
Data and LRs/LT communities and their complementarity in cracking LT 
problems and developing useful applications and services.


*LRs in the Collaborative Age*
The amount of collaboratively generated and used language data is 
constantly increasing and it is therefore time to open a wide discussion 
on such LRs at LREC. There is a need to discuss the types of LRs that 
can be collaboratively generated and used.
Are lexicons, dictionaries, corpora, ontologies (of language data), 
grammars, tagsets, data categories, all possible fields in which a 
collaborative approach can be applied? Can collaboratively generated LRs 
be standardised/harmonised? And how can quality control be applied to 
collaboratively generated LRs? How can a collaborative approach ensure 
that less-resourced languages receive the same digital dignity as 
mainstream languages?
There is also a need to discuss legal aspects related to collaboratively 
generated LRs.
