Overview

The 9th DELPH-IN summit will be held from Monday, July 29, to Friday August 2, 2013, in or around Saabrücken. The following week ACL 2013 will be held in Sofia, following our lead last year.

Yi, Rui and Hans wil be local hosts, with Francis and Emily as co-chairs.

Aims of the Meeting

The purposes of this meeting are to:

• update each other on recent developments and current activities;
• discuss more what we actually expect from DELPH-IN (and each other);
• create the opportunity for contentful exchange on computational grammar research in the DELPH-IN spirit.

Some possible ideas for content

These ideas are basically just brainstorming at this stage, and should not be considered official in any way at all.

• Maybe try a couple of documentation sprints (like minor book sprints)

• something on chart mapping?

• something on language modelling?

• something on unspoken MRS conventions?

• Work towards releasing MRS Testsuite treebanks as a parallel treebank resource

Discussion topics:

• core.smi for Matrix/general crosslinguistic sharing? What can we normalize here?
• How has the SEM-I been used in the past? How might it be used in the future?

And more light-heartedly:

• DELPH-IN t-shirt design proposals (suggested slogan: "Slow and steady wins the race")
