List of Related Workshops on Collocations

• Marburg March 2000. Kollokationen, linguistiche Beschreibung und Akquisition aus Texten. Organised by Anke Lüdeling and Ulrich Heid, (IMS Stuttgart) and Petra Ludewig (University of Osnabruck), this workshop was held during the 22. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Sprachwissenschaft brought together a number of linguists and computational linguists working on a variety of approaches to collocation covering a number of European languages, Dutch, English, Finnish and German.

• Paris. January 2001. Journée d'études de l'ATALA : La collocation. Organised by Béatrice Daille and Geoffrey Williams (Universities of Nantes and Lorient) brought together researchers in natural language processing working on French from a variety of approaches ranging from lexical functions to conceptual classes.

• Toulouse. July 2001. Collocation: Computational Extraction, Analysis and Exploitation. Organised by Béatrice Daille and Geoffrey Williams (Universities of Nantes and Lorient), this workshop was held during the Association for Computational Linguistics conference and aimed to bring together computational linguists working on extraction and implementation of collocation.

This summer it is proposed to organise two closely related workshops; a first in Vienna focuses on more computational issues, the second would be held in conjunction with the Euralex Conference in Copenhagen.

• Vienna. July 2002. This meeting on "Computational Approaches to Collocations" will be organised in Vienna by Brigitte Krenn (ÖFAI) in collaboration with Geoffrey Williams and Ulrich Heid. It will be chaired by Brigitte Krenn. The scope of the workshop will cover computational models and strategies for collocation identification and their use in computational linguistic applications. This includes statistics-based and hybrid methods on collocation identification, the development and testing of association measures, the discussion of significance versus relevance of identification results, the application of collocations in information extraction, in machine translation, in the development of lexical resources, in the evaluation of smoothing methods, etc.
