  1. SemanticMining Scientific Advisory Board CA Article 10: Scientific Advisory Committee (1) The Assembly may decide on the establishment of a Scientific Advisory Committee, in accordance with Article 6 of this Agreement. (2) In such case, the Scientific Advisory Committee shall consist of scientists conducting research in the field of the Network activities. The members of the Scientific Advisory Committee shall be appointed by unanimous decision of the Parties’ representatives in the Assembly and according to a selection procedure to be agreed upon within the Assembly. The rules and agreements related to the appointment must ensure that matters of confidentiality are observed and that all members of the Scientific Advisory Committee sign a non-disclosure agreement. (3) The Scientific Advisory Committee should deliberate on science-related matters of the Network and formulate recommendations to the Assembly and Board and can also be requested by the Assembly and the Board to deliberate on further specific topics. To this end, the Scientific Advisory Committee shall in particular: i) formulate recommendations to the Assembly and the Board on the content, planning and execution of the Parties’ joint research programme within the Network; ii) formulate recommendations to the Assembly and the Board with respect to any other scientific aspects and requirements of the Network. (4) The Scientific Advisory Committee shall meet at least once per year or upon request by the Assembly or the Board. The Scientific Advisory Committee shall elect a moderator for its deliberations and take its decisions according to internal rules to be agreed upon by the Scientific Advisory Committee and approved by the Assembly. (5) The Assembly or the Board may invite the members of the Scientific Advisory Committee to attend their meetings in order to give further explanations on its recommendations.

  5. Strategic Plan • Lexical Acquisition: Developing semi-automated techniques for lexical acquisition • Increasing the coverage and quality of existing lexicons • Pooling heterogeneous sources (lexicons, corpora) • Developing a specification for a multilingual lexicon • Integration of multilingual lexicons into cross-language IR systems (-> WP 24) • Linking lexicons to existing terminology systems (UMLS, WordNet, -> WP 21)

  6. Meetings and Visits 2004 • Freiburg, March 2004: Kick-Off Meeting • Göteborg, May 2004: Lexicon Acquisition Meeting • Regular meetings between • the Göteborg groups UGOT and SU • the Linköping groups LiU-IMT and LiU-IDA • the German groups UKLFR and UNIFR/JENA • Visit of Kornél Markó (UKLFR) at Göteborg (May) • Visit of Anders Thurin (SU) at Freiburg (September)

  7. Activities • Lexical Specification for integrating heterogeneous lexicons: • Elaboration of a draft specification for hetrogeneous lexicons (DIM) • Initial design for a DATR-inspired interface (ITRI) • Subword lexicon: • Inclusion of French and Swedish suffixes (UGOT, DIM), Ongoing development of lexical resources • Initial design of Quality control measures (UKLFR). • generating candidate Swedish and Spanish subwords by character translation from German, English and Portuguese subwords (SU, UKLFR, JENA) • Word alignment in English and Swedish, improvement of interactive word alignment tools as regards precision in proposals and support tools. (LiU-IDA) • Collection of corpora (> 2 Gbyte) for 6 languages (UKLFR, UNIFR) • Updating of a Swedish general purpose lexicon with medical terms (UGOT). • Integration of medical terminology in a Swedish named entity recognition system (UGOT). • Ongoing development of lexical resources for computer-assisted Swedish LSP instruction to non-Swedish healthcare staff (UGOT).
