Upper Ontology and Natural Language Processing
A Special Session for NLP-KE'03 (01)
The 2003 IEEE International Conference on Natural Language Processing and
Knowledge Engineering, Oct. 26-29, 2003, Beijing
http://www.cie-china.org/nlpke2003/ (02)
Paper Submission Deadline: July 18, 2003
Electronic submissions only, to: hrzhang@xxxxxxxxxx (03)
The representation of knowledge poses a shared and critical challenge to
both Natural Language Processing and Knowledge Engineering. A theoretical
framework of human knowledge structure remains to be one of the ultimate
scientific pursuits for the century. The construction of an Upper Ontology,
as suggested shared standard for human and machine knowledge
representation, attracted interests from diversified fields such as
Cognitive Sciences, Computational Linguistics, Electronic Engineering,
Linguistics, Philosophy, and Psychology. (04)
The proposed special session deals with the interaction between Upper
Ontology and Natural Language Processing. In particular, we would like to
draw attention to the IEEE working group on a Standard Upper Ontology, to
which the Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO) has been proposed; as well
as to the LanguageWeb initiative from the computational linguistics community. (05)
The Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO) http://ontology.teknowledge.com
SUMO is rapidly gaining recognition as a resource for computational
linguistics. We would like to bring together researchers who are applying
SUMO to projects in NLP, as well as providing a forum for informing
researchers who may be interested in using this product or collaborating
with other researchers in this area. (06)
LanguageWeb
LanguageWeb is a proposed collaboration among computational linguists from
many European and Asian countries. Its explicit goal is to make the
semantic web accessible in many languages, and to allow the semantic web to
represent many different cultures. To achieve both goals, a robust shared
upper ontology with multilingual knowledge content will be essential. (07)
Call for paper
We invite papers that describe work in progress, preliminary results, or
innovative ideas for future research. Possible topics include:
-linking ontology with linguistic knowledgebase and/or corpus
-using upper ontology to support multilingual and international knowledge
engineering
-using upper ontology to create a unified semantics for linguistic corpora
in different languages
-ideas for improving the robustness, completeness or correctness of ontologies
-ideas for improving the universality ontologies and eliminating language bias
-using the semantic content of ontology in solving language understanding
