CONFERENCE AIMS
The CLARIN Annual Conference is organised for the Humanities and Social
Sciences community in order to exchange ideas and experiences on the
CLARIN infrastructure. This includes its design, construction and
operation, the data and services that it contains or should contain, its
actual use by researchers, its relation to other infrastructures and
projects, and the CLARIN Knowledge Sharing Infrastructure.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
Operation and use of the CLARIN infrastructure, e.g.
- Use of the CLARIN infrastructure in humanities and social sciences
research, including needs for updated and new functionality
- Usability studies and evaluations of CLARIN services
- Analysis of the CLARIN infrastructure usage, identification of user
audience and impact studies
- Showcases, demonstrators and research in humanities and social
sciences that is relevant to CLARIN
- Models for the sustainability of the infrastructure, including issues
in curation, migration, financing and cooperation
- Legal and ethical issues in operating the infrastructure
Design and construction of the CLARIN infrastructure, e.g.
- Metadata and concept registries, cataloguing and browsing
- Persistent identifiers
- Access, including Single Sign On Authentication and Authorisation
- Search, including Federated Content Search
- Web applications, web services, workflows and use of the
infrastructure
- Standards and solutions for interoperability of language resources,
tools and services
CLARIN Knowledge Infrastructure and Dissemination, e.g.
- User assistance (helpdesks, user manuals, FAQs)
- CLARIN portals and outreach to users
- Videos, screen casts, recorded lectures
- Researcher training activities
- Knowledge infrastructure centres
CLARIN in relation with other infrastructures and projects, e.g.
- Relations with other SSH research infrastructures such as DARIAH,
CESSDA, etc.
- Relations with meta-infrastructure projects such as EUDAT and RDA
- Relations with national and regional initiatives
THEMATIC SESSION : Multilingual Processing for Humanities and Social
Sciences
The Humanities and Social Sciences (H&SS) have formulated research
questions pertaining to different languages. However, the number of
research tasks in H&SS in which Language Technology has been applied to
cross-language barriers and analyse the same phenomena on material
expressed in different languages is relatively small. The situation is
better in the case genuine linguistic research, but in multilingual
research applications in H&SS are mostly based on a kind of ‘bag of
words’ model, and very rarely utilise more advanced multilingual
Language Technology methods.
The general aim of this thematic session is to present examples of
multilingual approaches in H&SS research relevant to CLARIN, and to
discuss infrastructural solutions to the problem of multilingual
interoperability of the Language Technology that are necessary for more
advanced research in H&SS. We expect to organise presentations and
discussions during the session on the following aspects :
1. Examples of applications of Language Technology to multilingual
processing for the needs of research in H&SS.
2. Research tasks and ongoing projects in H&SS on the basis of
multilingual material and application of Language Technology.
3. Interoperability of language resources and tools for the needs of
multilingual applications in H&SS : models for linking, standards and
formats, mapping and linking algorithms, complex processing methods,
architectures and platforms.
We invite submissions describing CLARIN relevant work addressing these
aspects. Submissions (for oral presentations, posters, or demos)
intended for the thematic session should be marked as such, and will be
evaluated with respect to their appropriateness for the theme, in
addition to the general acceptance criteria listed below.
PROGRAM
The scientific program both of the general sessions and the thematic
session will include oral presentations, posters, and demos. There is no
difference in quality between oral and poster presentations. Only the
appropriateness of the type of communication (more or less interactive)
to the content of the paper will be considered.
SUBMISSIONS
Submission of proposals for oral presentations, poster presentations
and/or demos must be extended abstracts (length : up to four A4 pages
including references) in PDF format, in accordance with the template
provided on the website.
It is not required that the authors are or have been directly involved
in national or international CLARIN projects, but their work must be
clearly relevant to the CLARIN activities, resources, tools or services.
Extended abstracts must be submitted through the EasyChair submission
system (link) and will be reviewed by the program committee.
All proposals will be reviewed on the basis of both individual criteria
and global criteria. The latter include thematic, linguistic and
geographical spread. Individual acceptance criteria are the following :
- Appropriateness : the contribution must pertain to the CLARIN
infrastructure or be relevant for it (e.g. use CLARIN, contribute to
the CLARIN design, construction, operation, exploitation, illustrate
possible applications etc.). In addition, submissions to the thematic
session will be selected on the basis of their appropriateness to the
theme.
- Soundness and correctness : the content must be technically and
factually correct and methods must be scientifically sound, according
to best practice, and preferably evaluated.
- Meaningful comparison : the abstract must indicate that the author is
aware of alternative approaches, if any, and highlight relevant
differences.
- Substance : concrete work and experiences will be preferred over ideas
and plans.
- Impact : contributions with a higher impact on the research community
and society at large will be preferred over papers with lower impact.
- Clarity : the extended abstract must be informative, clear and
understandable for the CLARIN audience.
- Timeliness and novelty : the work must convey relevant new knowledge to
the audience at this event.
ATTENDANCE
One author per each accepted paper will be granted free participation in
the conference and meals. Selected authors will be granted reimbursement
of travel (up to 220 Euros) and accommodation costs.
PROCEEDINGS
If the submission is accepted, it will be published (possibly in revised
form) in the conference Book of Abstracts. After the conference, the
author(s) will be invited to submit a full paper (max. 12 pages) to be
reviewed according to the same criteria as the abstracts. Accepted full
papers will be digitally published in a conference proceedings volume at
Linköping University Electronic Press within about 6 months after the
conference.
