AIMS:

SLSP is a yearly conference series aimed at promoting and displaying
excellent research on the wide spectrum of statistical methods that are
currently in use in computational language or speech processing. It aims at
attracting contributions from both fields. Though there exist large,
well-known conferences and workshops hosting contributions to any of these
areas, SLSP is a more focused meeting where synergies between subdomains and
people will hopefully happen. In SLSP 2014, significant room will be
reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career and particular
focus will be put on methodology.

VENUE:

SLSP 2014 will take place in Grenoble, at the foot of the French Alps.

SCOPE:

The conference invites submissions discussing the employment of statistical
methods (including machine learning) within language and speech processing.
The list below is indicative and not exhaustive:

phonology, phonetics, prosody, morphology
syntax, semantics
discourse, dialogue, pragmatics
statistical models for natural language processing
supervised, unsupervised and semi-supervised machine learning methods
applied to natural language, including speech
statistical methods, including biologically-inspired methods
similarity
alignment
language resources
part-of-speech tagging
parsing
semantic role labelling
natural language generation
anaphora and coreference resolution
speech recognition
speaker identification/verification

=================================================
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION:
6th AIMMS/MOPTA International Optimization Modeling Competition
(http://coral.ie.lehigh.edu/~mopta/competition/)
=================================================

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we announce the sixth AIMMS/MOPTA
Optimization Modeling Competition. The competition is jointly organized
by the conference organizers of MOPTA (http://coral.ie.lehigh.edu/~mopta/)
and AIMMS (http://www.aimms.com). Finalists are expected to attend and
present their results at the 2014 MOPTA Conference to be held August 13-15,
2014 at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA, USA.

Teams of at most three students can participate. The team leader has to
be a graduate student, though the other members of the team can be
advanced undergraduate students. Each member of the team must be
registered as a full-time student at a recognized educational institution
during the Spring term of the 2013-2014 academic year. Students with a
background in optimization, regardless of their actual field of study, are
eligible. Collaboration between students from different departments is
strongly encouraged. Each team must declare a team advisor with which
the team may consult about the problem and their solution. It is the team
advisor?s responsibility to ensure that the students have appropriate
knowledge for the competition. The team advisor should not be involved
as a participant in the solution process.

As the conference is international, so is the competition. Teams from all
over the world can participate, as long as at least one team member can
come to the conference, should the team make it to the final round. The
official language of the competition is English.

The competition problem has been posted; please visit:

http://coral.ie.lehigh.edu/~mopta/competition/

for a description of the problem and further details.

All teams must *register* for the competition in order to participate.

Important Dates:
Registration Due: 13 June 2014 (but please register as soon
as you start
work on the problem)
Solutions Due: 13 June 2014
Finalists Chosen: 4 July 2014
Conference Begins: 13 August 2014

For questions, please contact Luis F. Zuluaga, luis.zuluagas@lehigh.edu
and Alberto J. Lamadrid, ajlamadrid@lehigh.edu

First Call for Papers ? Graph Drawing 2014
22nd International Symposium on Graph Drawing
September 24-26, 2014 ? W?rzburg, Germany
http://gd2014.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/

Graph Drawing is concerned with the geometric representation of graphs
and networks and the algorithmic methods for visualizing them. It is
motivated by applications where it is crucial to visually analyze and
interact with relational datasets. Examples of such application areas
include social sciences, Internet and Web computing, information
systems, computational biology, networking, VLSI circuit design, and
software engineering.

The International Symposium on Graph Drawing is the main annual event
in this area and will be hosted by the University of W?rzburg from
September 24 to 26, 2014, in W?rzburg, Germany. Researchers and
practitioners working on any aspect of graph drawing and network
visualization are invited to contribute papers and posters and to
participate in the symposium and the graph drawing contest.

IMPORTANT DATES

All deadlines are 23:59 GMT and fixed. There will be no extensions.

Paper submission deadline: June 13, 2014
Notification of paper acceptance: July 23
Poster submission deadline: August 19
Notification of poster acceptance: August 29
Final versions due: September 3
Contest submission deadline: September 22
Symposium on Graph Drawing: September 24-26

INVITED SPEAKERS

Oswin Aichholzer, TU Graz
Jean-Daniel Fekete, INRIA, Paris

PAPERS

Submitted papers must describe original research of theoretical or
practical significance to graph drawing and network visualization.
Each paper must be submitted explicitly to one of two distinct tracks.
Papers submitted to one track will not compete with papers submitted
to the other track.

Track 1: Combinatorial and algorithmic aspects

This track is mainly devoted to fundamental graph drawing advances,
such as combinatorial aspects and algorithm design. The range of
topics for this track includes (but is not limited to) the following:
- Design and analysis of graph drawing algorithms
- Theory of geometric graphs
- Geometric computing
- Geometric and topological graph theory
- Optimization on graphs

Track 2: Experimental, applied, and network visualization aspects

This track is mainly devoted to the practical aspects of graph
drawing, such as the development of network visualization systems and
interfaces in different application areas. The range of topics for
this track includes (but is not limited to) the following:
- Visualization of graphs and networks in application areas (e.g.,
social sciences, biology, cartography, software engineering,
circuit design, business intelligence)
- Software systems for graph visualization
- The engineering of visualization systems and algorithms
- Experimental results in graph theory and graph algorithms
- Benchmarks and experimental analysis for graph visualization
systems and user interfaces
- Cognitive studies on graph drawing readability and user interaction
- Interfaces for interacting with graphs

All submissions must be formatted using the LATEX style file for the
conference series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) provided by
Springer-Verlag. The margins and font size must not be
modified. Submissions that do not comply with this format risk being
rejected. Each submission may be up to 12 pages in length. The
claims of the paper should be fully substantiated, including full
proofs or appropriate experimental data. If this information does not
fit within the page limits, the authors should include it in a clearly
marked appendix, whose length is not constrained and which the
reviewers may read at their own discretion.

POSTERS

Submissions of posters on graph drawing and related areas are also
solicited. The poster session will provide a forum for the
communication of late-breaking research results (which may also appear
elsewhere) to the graph drawing community. Posters should be
accompanied by an abstract (up to two pages in the single-spaced LNCS
style). The abstract and poster must be submitted as a single pdf
document.

CONTEST

The graph drawing contest held in conjunction with the conference
traditionally begins after the initial paper submission deadline has
passed. Further details will be available on the conference website.

PUBLICATION

Accepted papers and abstracts of accepted posters will appear in the
conference proceedings, published by Springer-Verlag in the series
Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Selected papers will be invited
for submission to a special issue of the Journal of Graph Algorithms
and Applications.

AWARD

To recognize the effort of participants to present their work in a
clear and elegant way, a best-presentation award will once again be
given this year.
