Verginica Mititelu presented a book project on using lexical resources for MWE-aware NLP task. It is a volume to be published in the series Phraseology and Multiword Expressions (PMWE) at Language Science Press, edited by Verginica Barbu Mititelu and Voula Giouli. Topics:

• Synergies between Lexicography and NLP in view of MWE identification and discovery
• MWE lexicons in NLP tasks (identification, parsing, machine translation, etc.) – limitations and possibilities
• Automatic discovery of newly coined MWEs or new variants of existing MWEs

This is a call for co-authors of a chapter in the form of a survey about the use of MWE lexicons in NLP tasks.

• Timeline: first draft: end of April
• Volume to be sent to the publishers: June
• Contact: vergi@racai.ro, voula@athenarc.gr by 1 February 2024

• Documentation of multilingual tools and resources (Teresa Lynn, Maria Giagkou) [ Presentation ]
• Evaluation campaign: morphosyntactic parsing (Omer Goldman)

On Day 3 of the Naples Meeting (February 9), there will be two joint WG meetings (one with WG1 and one with WG4) and one exclusive WG3 meetings. If you have ideas for topics, contact Joakim and Gülşen.
