Annotation - Concepts and Methods
Besides the usual
talks, we want this time to organize something new. This would
concern asking those who wish so to do a short presentation of an
annotation problem to which they have been confronted and for which
they have not been able to find any satisfying method to solve it.
Each presentation will last at most 15 minutes, and will be followed
by 15 minutes of discussions with the persons present, in particular
the computer scientists and mathematicians who might be interested in
studying the problem, either themselves or through a student. We ask
the persons wishing to make the presentation to write beforehand a
short abstract of about half a page briefly describing the
problem. This will allow:
- us, in case we receive too many propositions, to group the
questions, or even, because of the time constraints we shall have to
meet, to select only a few for a presentation (but all abstracts
received would be made available to all participants);
- the persons possibly interested by a long term
collaboration (perhaps ourselves), to have at their disposal a text
that could serve, as is or extended and made more precise, as a
starting point for a Master thesis or, depending on the difficulty of
the question, a PhD thesis.
Our idea is to allow two hours in all for these presentations, which
means four persons or groups of persons should be able to present a
problem that concerns them.
If you are interested, you can send from now until the last minute a
message (in ascci format) to
sagot@pasteur.fr with your abstract. We shall then inform you by
December 10th at the latest of how these two hours of presentations
will be organized in practice. That will of course depend on the
number of messages we receive.
