TLT serves as a venue for new and ongoing research on the topic of linguistics and treebanks. The 15th edition of TLT will, for the first time, take place in the United States, at Indiana University, Bloomington, on 20-21 January 2017.
For 15 years now, TLT has served as a venue for new and ongoing high-quality work related to syntactically-annotated corpora, i.e., treebanks; with a focus on all the aspects of treebanking - descriptive, theoretical, formal and computational - but also going beyond treebanks, including other levels of annotation such as frame semantics, coreference or events, to name only a few.
TLT is made possible, thanks for our generous sponsors at Indiana University:
The TLT15 Proceedings are now available online!
TLT serves as a venue for new and ongoing research on the topic of linguistics and treebanks. The 15th edition of TLT will, for the first time, take place in the United States, at Indiana University, Bloomington, on 20-21 January 2017.
For 15 years now, TLT has served as a venue for new and ongoing high-quality work related to syntactically-annotated corpora, i.e., treebanks; with a focus on all the aspects of treebanking – descriptive, theoretical, formal and computational – but also going beyond treebanks, including other levels of annotation such as frame semantics, coreference or events, to name only a few.
Submissions are invited for papers, posters and demonstrations which present research on treebanks and their intersection with linguistics, natural language processing and other related fields.
Treebanks have proved to be crucial resources for very important NLP applications, such as machine translation and information extraction, as well as supporting resources for various NLP tasks, such as high-quality parsing and POS tagging.
More recent trends in treebank-related research have focused on a variety of initiatives, such as annotating deep syntactic, semantic, and syntactic-semantic interface information; (semi)-automatic conversion of existing treebanks into deeper linguistic formats; multilingual and crosslingual treebanking, including 'language-universal' treebanking; enriching treebanks with additional layers of linguistic annotation as well as incorporating world knowledge; dynamic treebanking involving a close connection between grammar-based parsing and manual annotation; designing web services for observing and exploiting theoretically diverse treebanks; and mapping syntactic and semantic knowledge to Linked Open Data (LOD) information.
The workshop invites the submission of papers, posters and software demonstrations on original and unpublished research on the following topics, including, but not limited to:
The program for TLT15 will consist of full papers, posters and software demonstrations. Submissions must be anonymized, written in English, and conform to the TLT15 style files.
Abstracts for full papers should not exceed 5 pages in length, excluding references. Abstracts for posters and software demonstrations should not exceed 3 pages in length, excluding references. (Accepted final papers will be 6-10 pages and 4-6 pages, respectively, excluding figures, data and references.)

Most attendees of TLT15 will elect to fly to the Indianapolis International Airport. Direct international flights maintain substantial connecting service from all major international hub airports within the US.
Most TLT15 attendees will choose to travel from the airport to Bloomington via one of the two shuttle van services. It is best to book tickets on-line in advance. Their departure location is easy to find outside the baggage claim area on the lower level of the airport.
We suggest that you consult Mapquest or Google maps for the best directions to Bloomington and return. Driving to and from the airport to campus is simple and direct. Driving time from the airport to campus is approximately 50 minutes.
For attendees staying at the Indiana Memorial Union, parking is free. Those electing to stay off campus may park in one of the two lots adjacent to the Indiana Memorial Union and pay the daily parking fee. Discounted parking passes will be available at the registration check-in desk. The approximate cost of discounted daily parking is $12.00.
A block of hotel rooms on the IU Bloomington campus have been reserved for people attending the 15th International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories.

For your convenience, if you are looking for hotel accommodations, we suggest that you
reserve a
guestroom at the IMU. The IMU is located in the center of campus and is in easy walking
distance to
many of Bloomington’s downtown shops, cafes and restaurants. You can explore many of these
options
through the Visit Bloomington web site:
www.visitbloomington.com
In order to secure a hotel room at the Indiana Memorial Union, contact the hotel directly or reserve your room on-line. When phoning for your reservation, you must identify that you will be attending the International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories in order to obtain a room.
Although we recommend that you stay at the IMU hotel, there are many hotel options outside of the IU Bloomington campus. Some hotels are located within walking distance; some are a short drive from campus. Check out the Visit Bloomington web site for off campus lodging (http://www.visitbloomington.com/visitors/hotels)
Note: Attendees electing to stay at off campus hotels who wish to drive to campus and park their car on campus may do so in the two parking lots adjacent to the Indiana Memorial Union. There will be a fee for parking in these lots. Discount parking passes will be available at the registration check-in desk for conference participants. The approximate discounted parking fee is currently $12/day.
The program is now available.
The proceedings are now available.
Past editions of the International Workshops on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT) have included co-located events exploring the use of linguistic annotations in Digital Humanities. This time, the co-located workshop will also focus on the creation, annotation and use of corpora in Digital Humanities. The workshop will focus on bringing together an audience from the humanities, digital humanities, linguistics, and computational linguistics to explore venues of collaboration and learning from each other. The workshop will feature 1) a rapidfire public presentation of digital interventions that showcase collaborations and DH needs and 2) presentations from all areas within digital humanities where corpora do or can play a role. The focus of this workshop lies in the description of ideas, approaches, resources, and tools that are related to text corpora, linguistic annotation in any form, and Digital Humanities. The workshop is intended to foster collaborations and to cross-fertilize knowledge and approaches across disciplines.
The workshop invites the submission of papers, posters and software demonstrations on original and unpublished research on the following topics, including, but not limited to:
The program for the workshop will consist of full papers, posters, and software demonstrations. Submissions must be anonymized, written in English, and conform to the TLT15 style files available at cl.indiana.edu/tlt15. Abstracts for full papers should not exceed 5 pages in length, excluding references. Abstracts for posters and software demonstrations should not exceed 3 pages in length, excluding references. (Accepted final papers will be 6-10 pages and 4-6 pages, respectively.)
