-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop Lexical semantics is the study of word semantic properties in
context and it is at the core of NLP and many of its applications.
Recently, there has been a renewed interest in text semantics fueled in
part by the complexity of some major research initiatives, such as
Question Answering, Text Summarization, Machine Translation, Information
Extraction, Reasoning, and others. The aim of this workshop is to bring
together researchers from academia, government, and industry interested
in text understanding, lexical semantics, knowledge representation,
question answering, information retrieval, machine translation, and
speech processing to submit papers reporting on recent advances and new
perspectives in computational lexical semantics, including but not
limited to the following topics:
* semantically based language models;
* information retrieval using semantics;
* complex nominals - acquisition and interpretation;
* polysemy and sense boundaries;
* semantic roles and other semantic relations;
* verb semantic classes and alternations;
* semantics of adjectives, adverbs and prepositions;
* metonymy and metaphor;
* the role of context in lexical semantics;
* representation issues in lexical semantics;
* tools and resources;
* evaluation of systems;
Papers describing applications of natural language, speech
understanding, and information retrieval that use lexical semantics are
especially welcome.
