Call for Workshop Proposals

37th Annual ACM SIGIR Conference, SIGIR 2014 Gold Coast, Australia, 6-11 July, 2014

<http://sigir.org/sigir2014/>

* SIGIR 2014 Workshop Program

SIGIR is the major international forum for the presentation of new research results and for the demonstration of new systems and techniques in the broad field of information retrieval (IR). Proposals are solicited for workshops to be held at ACM SIGIR 2014 in Gold Coast, Australia. Workshops will last for one day and will be held on Friday
11 July 2014. Workshop topics will typically match those identified in the SIGIR 2014 general call for contributions, but proposals concerned with other areas of IR are welcome.

SIGIR 2014 workshops will provide a platform for presenting novel ideas and emerging areas in IR, in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conference itself. The format of each workshop is to be determined by the organizers, but it is expected that workshops will contain ample time for general discussion and engagement by all participants -- not just those presenting papers. Workshops that foster collaboration, discussion, group problem-solving and community building initiatives are particularly encouraged. Workshops that only involve the presentation of papers in a "mini conference" format are discouraged.

Researchers and practitioners from all areas of IR are invited to submit proposals for review. The organizers of approved workshops will be expected to define the workshop's focus, gather and review submissions, and decide upon final program content. Organizers (including
co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire workshop and to provide an article for ACM SIGIR Forum summarizing the event.

* Submission Requirements

Workshop proposals should include the following information:

1. Title
2. Motivation for the workshop and appropriateness to SIGIR.
3. Theme and purpose of the workshop.
4. Format and planned activities and a tentative schedule of events.
5. Selection process for participants and/or presenters and maximum number of participants (if limited).
6. List of organisers with a short biographical sketch of each organizer, describing relevant qualifications and experience.
7. Names of potential program committee members.
8. Related workshops (if applicable).

If the workshop has been held previously at SIGIR or another conference, then the organizers should indicate this and describe briefly past attendance and outcomes, and why another workshop is needed.

Proposals should be submitted via the easychair workshop submission webpage <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigir2014workshops>
in pdf format and should not exceed 4 pages in ACM style.

* Important Dates

- Monday 3 February 2014: Workshop proposals due

- Monday 10 March 2014: Notification of workshop acceptance [We try to notify 1-2 weeks early!]

- Sunday 6-11 July, 2014: SIGIR Conference

- Friday 11 July, 2014: SIGIR Workshops day

Dear all,

I'm Toshiaki Nakazawa from JST (Japan Science and Technology Agency),
Japan. This is an announcement of the newly published Japanese-English
and Japanese-Chinese parallel corpus.

Best regards,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear all,

This is an announcement from the Japan Science and Technology Agency
(JST) regarding the release of the Asian Scientific Paper Excerpt
Corpus (ASPEC), created jointly by JST and the National Institute of
Information and Communications Technology (NICT).

ASPEC is the world's first large-scale scientific paper bilingual
corpus. It consists of approximately 3 million Japanese-English
parallel sentences from paper abstracts (ASPEC-JE) and approximately
0.68 million Japanese-Chinese paper excerpts (ASPEC-JC).

This corpus is one of the fruits of the Japanese-Chinese machine
translation project conducted between 2006 and 2010 using the Special
Coordination Funds for Promoting Science and Technology. ASPEC-JE was
created from approximately 2 million Japanese-English academic paper
abstracts owned by JST and ASPEC-JC was created by translating
Japanese articles from JST's e-journal site J-STAGE into Chinese with
permission from the respective publishing organizations.

For further details, please refer to the link below. The data is free
to use on the acceptance of the usage agreement.

http://orchid.kuee.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ASPEC/

Using ASPEC, a new open evaluation campaign for machine translation of
scientific papers named WAT, Workshop on Asian Translation, is under
consideration. This workshop is planned to be held in about September,
2014. A detailed description of this workshop will be announced soon.

Any enquiries regarding this data should be made to the following address:
