- Fei Xia, W. Lewis, Lori S. Levin. 2010. Proceedings of the 2010 Workshop on NLP and Linguistics: Finding the Common Ground. Abstract: Since early 1990s, with the advancement of machine learning methods and the availability of data resources such as treebanks and parallel corpora, data-driven approaches to NLP have made significant progress. The success of such data-driven approaches has cast doubt on the relevance of linguistics to NLP. Conversely, NLP techniques are rarely used to help linguistics studies. We believe that there is room to expand the involvement of linguistics in NLP, and likewise, NLP in linguistics, and that the cross-pollination of ideas between the disciplines can greatly benefit both fields. We are pleased to present the workshop on NLP and Linguistics: Finding the Common Ground in order to focus on some of the work that uses NLP and linguistics for mutual benefit, and discuss future plans for continuing collaborations.
