IWPT 2021: The 17th International Conference on Parsing Technologies

August 6, 2021, at ACL-IJCNLP 2021 (virtual)

https://iwpt21.sigparse.org/

 

CALL FOR PAPERS

The ACL Special Interest Group on Natural Language Parsing (SIGPARSE) invites submissions to its biennial conference on parsing technologies. IWPT 2021 will be the 17th conference in a series that started in 1989. The conference will be held as a virtual event at ACL-IJCNLP 2021 on August 6, 2021.

 

INVITED SPEAKER

Emily Pitler, Google AI

TOPICS

IWPT addresses all aspects of structural analysis of natural language, including but not limited to:

  • Parsing of natural language (phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, discourse, etc.)
  • Formal models and algorithms for recognition, parsing and transduction
  • Machine learning techniques for syntax and parsing
  • Complexity of languages, models and algorithms
  • Learning of recursive structure (linguistic/latent)
  • Parsing in machine translation (synchronous parsing; alignment by parsing; translation by parsing, etc.)
  • Cognitive models of language processing
  • Multilingual and multimodal perspectives on syntax and parsing
  • Domain and genre adaptation, portability and robustness of parsing systems
  • Practical applications of parsing technology
  • Parser evaluation (across languages and frameworks)
  • Neural network models for linguistic structure prediction
  • Combining distributional and symbolic signals for linguistic structure prediction
  • Syntactic typology for multilingual modeling
  • Parsing low-resource languages and cross-lingual or domain transfer
  • Interpretation of linguistic structure in deep learning models
  • Integration of morphology via character-based models, subword embeddings, and beyond

IWPT 2021 SHARED TASK

Continuing the series of parsing-oriented shared tasks established at IWPT 2020, the 2021 IWPT Shared Task will be on Multilingual Parsing into Enhanced Universal Dependendies.
