The Research Group LIFT presents a two-day meeting to bring together computational linguists, applied linguists and formal linguists, in order to develop to improve exchanges between these linguistical domains. The meeting will take place in Grenoble on December 6 & 7th.
In addition to the presentations of the keynotes speakers, we invite researchers to present their work by submitting an extended abstract (call for contributions).
About the “Computational, Formal & Field Linguistics” research project
Computational linguistics brings to linguists a large panel of techniques and resources which open the way to new perspectives for linguistic analysis, from data collection and annotation to the extraction and automatic checking of linguistic generalisations. The objectives of the LIFT project are :
to explore this potential by benefitting from a scientific network which promotes interactions between formal linguists, field linguists, and computational linguists
to foster the emergence of novel methods which would be benefitial for linguists (automating data analysis and verification), field linguists (collecting and analysing data), and computational linguists (e.g. developments in unsupervised methods for under-resourced languages)
The LIFT project builds upon 5 complementary axes:
automatic extraction of linguistic generalisations
linguistics and NLP system evaluation
tools for data collection and analysis for linguists
challenges and resources for open science
linguistics for under-resourced languages
Venue
The LIFT scientific meeting will take place at the ground floor of the IMAG building on Grenoble Alpes University campus.
