next UIMA workshop?

Hi, at GSCL 2013 we talked a bit about options for the next UIMA 
workshop. How about trying to have it at COLING 2014?

	WORKSHOP TIMELINE
	• 19th January 2014: Workshop proposals due
	• 26th January 2014: Notification of workshop acceptances
	• 18th July 2014: Camera-ready deadline for workshop proceedings
	• 23rd and 24th August 2014: COLING Workshops

http://www.coling-2014.org/workshop-call.php

So that would be approximately one year after the GSCL workshop which 
would probably give enough time for people to have new things to 
present, and there are still 3 months before submitting the workshop 
proposal.

COLING is going to be in Dublin, which makes it relatively easy to 
attend for the European UIMA community.

What do you think?

Bye,
Jens

good idea, I think it'd be really nice.

I also think that it is a good idea if we can expect enough submissions.
However, I will not be able to organize it and cannot promise to submit
something.

Seems fine to me :-).  Please see about linking to it (perhaps from News and the

I tried to prepare a draft for svnpubsub to see how it fits with the UIMA
site (without linking to it at first, of course), and created
uima-website/xdocs/coling14.xml
It then seems that I need to rebuild the site on my machine with ANT and
push the resulting changes in docs/, which I did.  The resulting page can
be seen at http://uima.apache.org/coling14.html and looks more or less ok.

I hope I didn't do anything wrong by committing directly to the site, but I
didn't find a good way to try it in the actual page layout and show the
results otherwise. In any case it's not linked from anywhere and shouldn't
affect any other parts of the site.

Re: next UIMA workshop?

Posted by Jens Grivolla <j+...@grivolla.net>.
Hi all, I have just posted the (more or less) final CFP on uima-user and 
uima-dev.

Feel free to distribute the CFP to anybody you think would be 
interested.  While this has been merged with a different workshop and 
thus has a somewhat wider scope than just UIMA, I still view this as a 
followup to the the UIMA workshop at GSCL and would hope to have 
similarly interesting contributions from the UIMA community.

If you are a PC member, or willing to be one, please contact me off-list 
with the email address and affiliation that you would like me to use for 
this purpose.

Finally, despite the fact that UIMA does not appear in the title 
anymore, would it be possible to have an announcement on the UIMA web page?

Re: next UIMA workshop?

We have been asked to merge our workshop with a similar one focusing on 
"open infrastructures".  The result is a "Workshop on Open 
Infrastructures and Analysis Frameworks for HLT".

We will now start to build a common CFP from the two proposals.  All 
contributions are welcome:

I put both in there as separate points.

Agree.  Subtle semantic differences between alternative components can 
be more challenging than the technical integration.  I'm not sure how to 
put that in the CFP without it getting very verbose, though.

Done. Thanks for your input.

As always, the current state of the proposal can be seen on Github: 
https://github.com/jgrivolla/coling2014-nlp-framework-workshop/blob/master/proposal.md

I think the current version is pretty close to final. If there are any

The current covered topics look very interesting. Now, I believe, it depends on how they are reworded to accommodate other processing frameworks, such as GATE.

For example, the topic "experience reports combining UIMA-based components from different sources, as well as solutions to interoperability issues" could be reworded as:

1) experience reports combining language analysis components from different sources, as well as solutions to interoperability issues

2) experience reports combining different frameworks (e.g. GATE/UIMA/WebLicht/etc.), as well as solutions to interoperability issues

I think both aspects would be interesting. I'm a little afraid that 1) might end up iterating the existing of frameworks like UIMA, while 2) would end up referring over web-services or semantic web stuff for interoperability - which may not be very interesting. I'd be more interested in issues and solutions exist beyond this, e.g. with regards to the interchangability of components. What problems exist when e.g. one parser component in a workflow is replaced with a different one? How can these be solved? (Cf. Noh and Padó, 2013 [1]).

I think one more topic could be added: 

- "combining annotation type systems in processing frameworks (GATE, UIMA, etc.) with standardization efforts, such as done in the ISO TC37/SC4 or TEI contexts."

Just a quick update: the proposal is progressing nicely, with very 
positive response from the GATE people.  In fact, it will be 
co-organised by a GATE core team member and several core developers are 
on the PC.

The CFP itself must still be rewritten to be less UIMA-centric, other 
than that this is starting to look quite good.

Any input is welcome, so if you have any suggestions hurry up...

Hi,

Just a small correction:
The last workshop had nine paper presentations and one invited talk.

Best,

OK, that’s reasonable—the last UIMA workshop I was at was at LREC in 2010, and there were a bunch of posters, which i why I asked.

Re: next UIMA workshop?

As I understand it, poster presentations are only used as a way to 
offload submissions that didn't make it as a "full paper". I don't think 
that such a distinction is useful for this workshop and would prefer to 
have oral presentations for all interesting contributions.

If we expected to have significantly more contributions that can fit 
into the schedule then concentrating some of them into a poster session 
might make sense, but I don't think this is the case.

If on the other hand posters were used to get additional visibility 
outside of the workshop then this could be interesting...

Hello, there's only 5 days remaining to submit the workshop proposal. 
Please anybody interested get in touch.

I sent a mail to the GATE user list to get some input from them.  The 
proposal draft is here:

Yes, we definitely would need to reach out to them.  First we need to 
decide: do we want a more focused workshop (just UIMA), or are the 
problems faced by GATE users (and others) sufficiently similar that we 
can learn from each other?

If we want to get the GATE people in there: does anybody have contacts 
in that community?

I take that as having you as a confirmed PC member ;-)

If the workshop is more inclusive for other frameworks, maybe it's
reasonable to ask one of the GATE people whether they want to
co-organize the workshop.

I won't be able to help with the organization, but maybe as a part of
the PC.

I can also not promise that I will submit something, but I will motivate
our working group.

Best,

Peter

Ok, it's time to seriously get started on this.

I guess we can start with the GSCL workshop description, and maybe make 
it more inclusive for other frameworks (GATE, etc.)

We need a couple of organizers (me, Renaud, ...?) and a potential PC 
(again, start with the one from GSCL) preferably with a few already 
confirmed PC members (Richard, ...)

I'll get started with a first draft. Any input is welcome.

Please also indicate if you plan to submit an article, in order to have 
a first idea of what to expect...

Thanks,
Jens

Re: next UIMA workshop?

Hi Jens,

I can help out with reviewing. I'd be interested in submitting something, but I cannot promise anything yet because the next year isn't really planned out so far. 

Maybe a broader scope also wouldn't hurt. E.g. there was a "New Challenges for NLP frameworks" workshop at LREC 2010, which had several people working with UIMA, but also e.g. GATE people and other frameworks.
