24th International Conference on Computational Linguistics

8-15 December, 2012 Mumbai, India

Preface (Program Chairs)

The members of the International Committee on Computational Linguistics were immensely privileged to be able to accept the invitation to hold our 24th COLING Conference here in India, a country which can justly be thought of as the center of the linguistic world. This is where Panini wrote the first formal grammar in the 6th century BC and where a linguistic diversity flourishes today that is nothing short of astounding to the rest of us. This conference has received twice as many submissions as any of its predecessors and, in many ways, is twice as rich because of the high proportion of contributions by teachers, researchers and, above all, students. Many are from India and other countries, such as Iran, with long and diverse linguistic traditions. There are challenges here for linguists of all varieties, most especially for those who put their faith in n-grams and machine learning. The 195 full-length technical papers in 5 parallel tracks, 138 posters, and 66 demonstrations that will be presented still constitute no more than a quarter of the total number of submissions. The chairs of some of the 26 program subcommittees were overwhelmed with both their number and their quality. The International Committee is always greatly indebted to the area chairs and reviewers for the invaluable work that they do. Never so much as on this occasion. Our greatest debt is clearly to our colleagues here in Mumbai, as will become clear to all as the week

proceeds. They were even less well equipped than we on the permanent committee to predict what they were getting into, but they have risen to the occasion in every way and you will find them to be immensely warm, helpful, and resourceful hosts. COLING's founding fathers wanted these conferences to be more than learned presentations. They wanted them to be opportunities to meet, and talk and delight in the company of others who share our fascination with language and the processes that make it work. Some call this the COLING spirit. There is nowhere that could nurture this spirit more effectively than here in India.

Martin Kay Christian Boitet Program Chairs, COLING 2012 December 2012

Preface (Organizing Chairs)

It is a matter of great pride that the 24th International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING 2012) is taking place in India, the land of multilinguality and multiculture. The organization of an event of COLING's scale takes enormous energy, planning and time. Two years back, in Beijing, when COLING was awarded to India, we knew that the task will be demanding, and happily for us, the NLP team at IIT Bombay, the organizing institute, has risen to the occasion. At the time of going to press, the total number of registrants in COLING has exceeded 700. With delegates coming from 60 countries, COLING 2012 will witness a colourful diversity of language and culture, and fittingly so. Conforming to current practices of international conferences, there are two days of workshops and tutorials before the main conference and one day of workshop immediately after. 15 focussed and topical workshops will be attended by about 300 delegates, as will be 6 high quality tutorials of contemporary interest. Social events include a reception in the evening of 10th Dec, a banquet in a nearby 7 star hotel on 11th Dec, an excursion to the famed Bhaja caves on 12th Dec and a cultural evening of Indian classical music on 13th Dec. Bhaja Caves, built in the period 3rd century BC to 2nd century CE, is a set of Buddhist monastery-caves near the hill station of Lonavala, nestled in the Sahyadri

mountain ranges, about 90 km to the south-east of Mumbai. There will be cultural evening on the fourth day of the conference, featuring a solo performance on "tabla", the representative of Indian percussion instruments, and another solo on Sitar, an instrument that drew world's attention to Indian classical music tradition. Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is fittingly the host of COLING 2012. IITs have, over the years, emerged as the premier institutes of technology in India. The Computer Science and Engineering Department at IIT Bombay is one of the largest and oldest Departments of CSE in the country. Each and every member of the 40 strong NLP group at IIT Bombay is toiling hard to make COLING 2012 a resounding success. The Government and industries have been our generous sponsors. All their names and logos are to be found in printed and USB proceedings. We thank them wholeheartedly. Technology Development in Indian Languages (TDIL) project of Department of IT, Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, has been the motive force behind the growth of NLP in India. COLING happening in India is a result of this long history of active patronage. Logistics wise, the "large events"- inauguration, invited speeches, reception and the cultural program- are in the convocation hall of IIT Bombay. Oral presentations are all in the newly constructed Victor Menezes Convention

Center (VMCC) about 200 mtrs from the convocation hall. Poster presentations are in the convocation hall, except on the first day, when it is VMCC. A very competent team of volunteers will be available for any assistance. We hope COLING participants will have a memorable time in India.
