GEAF 2015 - Grammar Engineering Across Frameworks

Grammar engineering, the practice of developing linguistically motivated grammars in software, is an active area of research in computational linguistics and comprises contemporary works across many different theoretical frameworks. The fruits of grammar engineering, namely linguistically motivated grammars which in many cases provide rich, detailed semantic representations, support the development of natural language technologies, including both natural language understanding and generation, that derive much more information from the linguistic signal than is otherwise possible. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working in grammar engineering and to advance the state of the art in this field.
In particular, we will invite contributions on the following range of topics:
Descriptions of new grammar development projects
Progress reports of established grammars
Analyses of particular linguistic phenomena implemented in grammars
How practical and theoretical considerations jointly shape design of syntactic and semantic representations
Methodologies for scaling grammars up to broad coverage while maintaining linguistic precision
Proposals for evaluation of grammatical resources
Teaching methodologies for grammar engineering
Methodologies for exploring existing large-scale grammar resources
Multilingual approaches to grammar engineering
Grammar engineering for endangered language documentation
Approaches to sharing grammatical knowledge across formalisms
Applications of deep grammars
Methodologies for facilitating grammar development and maintenance
