===Description===

The application of collective intelligence in the domain of language
yielded collaboratively constructed language resources (CCLR) that can be
used in a variety of ways. For example, Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and other
language resources constructed through crowdsourcing such as Games with a
Purpose and Mechanical Turk have been used in many ways in NLP.
Researchers started using such resources to substitute for or supplement
conventional lexical semantic resources such as WordNet or linguistically
annotated corpora in different NLP tasks. Another research direction is to
utilize NLP techniques to enhance the collaboration process and its
outcome. Overall the emergence of CCLRs has generated new challenges to
the research field that are to be addressed in the present book. As the
research field of CCLRs matures, it has become necessary to summarize a
set of results to advance and focus the further research effort.

The aim of this book is to capture the state-of-the-art in the emerging
area of research on "Collaboratively constructed language resources."
Thus, a point of reference on the topics of construction, mining, using
and interconnecting collaboratively constructed language resources for
natural language processing, knowledge discovery and other intelligent
applications will be created.

Specific topics include but are not limited to:

* Using CCLRs and the information mined from them for NLP tasks, such as
word sense disambiguation, semantic role labeling, information
retrieval, text categorization, information extraction, question
answering, etc.;
* Mining social and collaborative content for constructing structured
lexical semantic resources, annotated corpora and the corresponding
tools;
* Analyzing the structure of CCLRs related to their use in NLP;
* Computational linguistics studies of CCLRS, such as wiki-based
platforms or folksonomies;
* Structural and semantic interoperability of CCLRs with conventional
semantic resources and between themselves;
* Mining multilingual information from CCLRs;
* Using special features of CCLRs to create novel resource types, for
example revision-based corpora, simplified versions of resources, etc.;
* Quality and reliability of collaboratively constructed lexical semantic
resources and annotated corpora.

Further interactions can be spanned across the disciplinary boundaries,
for example constructing language resources from user-generated contents
through the collaborations with the research of discourse and social
network analysis.

Given the appropriateness of the topics, preliminary versions of
contributions may be submitted in parallel to the 3rd workshop of "The
People's Web meets NLP: Collaboratively Constructed Semantic Resources
and their Applications to NLP." Please refer to the workshop homepage
shown below:

http://www.ukp.tu-darmstadt.de/scientific-community/acl-2012-workshop

Please note: if accepted to the workshop, the papers will have to be
substantially extended for the publication with Springer.
