SIGMORPHON 2016 - 14th SIGMORPHON Workshop on Computational Research in Phonetics, Phonology, and Morphology

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in applying computational techniques to problems in morphology, phonology, and phonetics. Work that addresses orthographic issues is also welcome. Papers will be on substantial, original, and unpublished research on these topics, potentially including strong work in progress. Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to) the following as they relate to the areas of the workshop:
New formalisms, computational treatments, or probabilistic models of existing linguistic formalisms
Unsupervised, semi-supervised or machine learning of linguistic knowledge
Models of psycholinguistic experiments
Morpheme identification and word segmentation
Algorithms, including finite-state methods
Corpus linguistics
Machine transliteration and back-transliteration
Speech technologies relating to phonetics or phonology
Speech science (both production and comprehension)
Analysis or exploitation of multilingual, multi-dialectal, or diachronic data
Instructional technologies for second-language learners
Integration of morphology, phonology, or phonetics with other NLP tasks
Tools and resources
Approaches to orthographic variation
One of the missions of SIGMORPHON is to encourage interaction between work in computational linguistics and work in theoretical phonetics, phonology and morphology, and to ensure that each of these fields profits from the interaction. Our recent meetings have been successful in this regard, and we hope to see this continue in 2014. Many mainstream linguists studying phonetics, phonology and morphology are employing computational tools and models that are of considerable interest to computational linguists. Similarly, models and tools developed by and for computational linguists may be of interest to theoretical linguists working in these areas. This workshop provides a forum for these researchers to interact and become exposed to each others' ideas and research.
