ACL/SIGPARSE will host the  11th International Conference  on Parsing Technologies (IWPT'09) on October 7 - 9, 2009 in Paris, France, at the University of Paris 7.

IWPT'09 continues  the tradition  of  biennial  workshops on  parsing technology organized  by  SIGPARSE,  the Special  Interest  Group  on Parsing of  the Association for Computational  Linguistics (ACL). The first workshop, in  Pittsburgh  and Hidden  Valley,  was followed  by workshops in Cancun (Mexico) in 1991; Tilburg (Netherlands) and Durbuy (Belgium) in 1993; Prague and Karlovy Vary (Czech  Republic) in 1995; Boston/Cambridge (Massachusetts)  in 1997;  Trento  (Italy) in  2000; Beijing (China)  in  2001; in Nancy (France) in  2003;  in  Vancouver (Canada) (2005); and in Prague (Czech Republic) in 2007.

Topics of interest for IWPT'09 -- Topics of interest  for  IWPT'09  include, but  are  not limited  to:

theoretical and  practical  studies  of   parsing  and   transduction algorithms  for  natural   language   sentences,  texts,   fragments, dialogues, ill-formed   sentences,  speech  input,  multi-dimensional (pictorial) or  signed languages, multimedia (web) documents; parsing issues arising or viewed  in a  multimodal  and multilingual context; parsing in  relation  to   semantic  and  pragmatic  information  and communication; cognitive  aspects  of grammar  and  their  impact  on parsing. Knowledge-based and data-driven approaches are equally welcome.

Time schedule: --  Deadline for full paper submission:       25 May,  2009 Full papers notification of acceptance:   1 July, 2009 Deadline for short paper submission:      8 July, 2009 Short papers notification of acceptance: 15 July, 2009 Final papers due:                      15 August, 2009 Conference:                        7 - 9 October, 2009

Submitting Papers - Two types of submissions are invited: - full papers, to be presented  as such during the conference and to   be published in the conference proceedings (maximally 12 pages); - short papers, to be  presented  at the conference in the form of a   poster  plus a summary oral presentation  in a short-paper session; four-page summaries will be published in the conference proceedings.

Submissions of either type should describe original work. Full papers should be concerned with completed work  or intermediate results  of ongoing work,  rather than  with intended work,  and should  indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. Short papers may describe planned or starting research or untested ideas.

A paper accepted for presentation at IWPT 2009 cannot be presented or have  been presented  at  any other  meeting  with publicly  available published proceedings. Papers that  are being  submitted  to  other conferences or workshops must indicate this on the title page, as must papers that  contain significant  overlap  with previously  published work.

The reviewing of  the  papers will  be  blind. The paper should  not include  the   authors'   names   and   affiliations. Furthermore, self-citations and other  references (e.g.  to projects,  corpora, or software)  that   could  reveal   the  author's  identity   should  be avoided. For example, instead of "We previously  showed (Smith, 1991) ...", write "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...".

Instructions for authors Prospective  authors   are   invited   to  send   their   submissions through the electronic submission page  of  the  conference. The only accepted format for submitted papers is PDF. Full papers should not exceed 12 pages; short papers should not exceed 8 pages.

Detailed formatting and submission instructions for authors will be available through the IWPT'09 home page at:
