tanlps workshop final call paper tanlps workshop final call papers held european conference machine learning ecml 98 chemnitz germany 2124 april 1998 www address http www tuchemnitz de informatik ecml98 tanlps towards adaptive nlp driven systems linguistic information learning methods applications 24 april 1998 organized r basili pazienza university roma tor vergata italy since applications syntactic semantic lexicon driven systematic reliable acquisition large scale linguistic information real challenge natural language processing nlp empiricist view natural language processing learning become recently attractive wider research community computational linguistics artificial intelligence psychology seemed converge specific dataoriented perspective aiming overcome traditional knowledge acquisition bottleneck often noted limited attention paid machine learning community text speech data seems unjustified thus evident empirical learning natural language processing nlp alleviate nlp main problem means variety methods automatic induction lexical knowledge lexical knowledge often hard compile hand even harder port reuse nlp application systems still low impact real world problems mainly due costs related reusability customization required lexicons particular changes domain causes changes lexical information required underlying natural language empirical symbolic machine learning methods perfectly suited task like automatic acquisition adaptation knowledge rule induction symbolic approaches clustering lazy learning inductive logic programming already proposed growing community entering challenge theoretical e methodological application purposes variety techniques seems combined order successfully design realistic inductive systems text processing target research define methods design principles systems combining linguistic lexical learning capabilities large scale language processing tasks mean adaptive nlp driven systems within research task issues favour synergistic process nlp ml areas access large data sets even increasing time due telematics facilities available nowadays extending set typical classes ml problems hard cases particularly dense nlp processes adding inductive capabilities nlp system tasks related specific applications e information extraction proposed workshop thus aims stimulating reasearch discussion following aspects establishing results evidencies suitability different ml paradigms specific levels representation lexical knowledge morphology syntax linguistic inference among others comparison quantitative approaches lexical acquisition empirical symbolic methods stimulating discussion cognitive perspective models within plausible architecture language processing learning establishing results applicability extracted induce knowledge within nlp systems respect assessed evaluation criteria typical ml language engineering le area case studies adaptive nlp systems e effective nlp systems integrating linguistic inferences inductive capabilities www kb cmu ecran critical review existing experiences adaptive nlp systems establishing guidelines evaluation framework adaptive nlp systems accuracy linguistic process robustness induction process promote cooperation among research groups europe usa exchange ideas data tools design experiment architectures adaptive nlp systems related events parallel workshop also held ecml conference text mining organized yves kodratoff although close intent topics two workshops specific identity terms area research multidisciplinary aspects contributions order enhance discussion synergistic contributions two independent approaches submissions covering common problems e adaptive data mining textual data undergo specific review cooperation workshop pc fact joint half day session specific borderline topics well existing hybrid systems planned subset accepted papers presented particular effort asked authors stressing enhancing synergistic aspects program committee suggest guidelines compare generalize extend individual contributions specific perspective workshop format workshop expected cover whole day first session apart invited talk expect cover methodological issues papers related advanced research suitability learning paradigms different target lexical information favoured prototypical examples area studies empirical learning tasks like pos tagging induction grammatical information symbolic learning word sense disambiguation criteria lexical semantic information panel discussion expected close morning session focus principles suitability learning paradigms vs lexical levels second session expect stimulate participants cover application areas like ir ie original research works currently development several research centres europe sheffield tilburg rome tor vergata torino universities panel discussion implication adaptive paradigm existing potential nlp systems close workshop program committee r basili
