SUMMARY:1st International Workshop on Language Div
 ersity and the Acquisition of Linguistic Semantic 
 Knowledge, Wroclaw, Poland
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20080918
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20080919
LOCATION:Wroclaw, Poland
DESCRIPTION:The proportion of Web pages written in
  English keeps decreasing, but a majority of text-
 handling tools and techniques have been developed 
 for English and tested on English resources. Many 
 languages have been reasonably well served by the 
 existing systems, but large typological difference
 s (complex morphology, rich inflection, freer-orde
 r syntax, not to mention cultural biases) tend to 
 make those tools and resources less than fully ade
 quate. This may be particularly true of deeper pro
 cessing, including the acquisition of natural lang
 uage semantics from text.  The workshop seeks to e
 xplore methodologies developed from scratch for a 
 variety of languages, and perhaps their reapplicat
 ion to the processing of English texts. We target 
 the problem of automatic extraction of some form o
 f natural language semantics from corpora and appl
 ication of the knowledge extracted in that way in 
 systems that deal with natural language.  The work
 shop is affiliated with the 6th International Conf
 erence on Multimedia and Network Information Syste
 ms   For more information, see http://www.zsi.pwr.
 wroc.pl/MISSI2008/LDALSK/   We invite submissions 
 on topics in the general spirit of the workshop. W
 ork on any language is welcome; we particularly en
 courage submissions related to "less privileged" l
 anguages. The workshop will be held in English. To
  suit the host conference, papers on applications 
 of the semantic knowledge extracted from text will
  also be considered; such applications include mac
 hine translation, parsing, sentiment analysis, inf
 ormation retrieval, information extraction, and te
 xt mining. Submission deadline is March 27, 2008.
