PARSEME SC meeting Athens, 11 March 2014 Cvetana Krstev, Yannick Parmentier, Adam Przepiórkowski, Victoria Rosén, Mike Rosner, Manfred Sailer, Agata Savary, Veronika Vincze Absent SC members: Miriam Butt Minuted by Agata Savary 1. Short feedback from the Athens meeting - 2-minute poster presentations: ° generally very good feedback from the people ° slides were not always well done ° when slides were not provided the last slide of the previous person was displayed, which was misleading. Next time: one slide per presentation is enough; for non-provided slides a title and an author page will be added. - A summary plenary session (5-10 minutes per WG) would be useful to say what each WG did during the meeting 2. PARSEME website OK to put the WG leaders' and vice-leaders' emails on the contact pages 3. Reimbursement applications for the MWE 2014 Workshop - only 17 eligible applications have been sent - we agree to give the grants to all of the 17 applicants - if other applications arrive (cf. new deadline: 18/03), we sort them according to the criteria and serve them as long as there is money 4. Pending STSM applications Rules for the next applications: - we fix 4 application deadlines per year, a week before each SC meeting - we take decisions at the SC meetings - we decide on other rules dynamically, - we keep some money for the end of the year for late applications Pending applications: Shashi Narayan - validated (one abstention: Veronika) Piotr Sikora - validated 5. General structure of the 3rd meeting in Haifa - We keep parallel sessions - We add a plenary summary session for all WGs at the end of the second day - Manfred would prefer no poster sessions but rather 3 slots per WG (2 parallel session for WG1, and one plenary) - Others think that the feedback from poster sessions was good and prefer to keep posters and have 2 sessions per WG - In order to satisfy everyone: ° we keep posters ° we keep 2 sessions for WG2, WG3 and WG4 ° we have two parallel one plenary session for WG1 (i.e. three rooms are needed at some point) - we can think of imposing a poster for each STSM - submission deadline: 15 June 2014 (to parseme@chopin email) - we upload submissions to a shared Google drive directory 6. Next SC meeting - video-conference was difficult but it saved a lot of time - we can try other systems (Flash Meetings) - vote for a video-conference for the next meeting: 4 for, 3 abstentions, 1 against - Mike will set up a video conference (Flash Meeting) - we'll make a test beforehand - next meeting: Friday 20 June p.m. (fix the precise slot with Mike) 7. Scientific, networking and outreach objectives for budget year 2 - WG3: best practices for hybrid processing methods, a subgroup meeting, classification of processing methods - WG2: enhanced state-of-the-art survey, collaboration - WG4: developing a common vocabulary for the pipeline of constructing a treebank, cooperation with WG1 on different kinds of MWE - WG1: a wiki with classification criteria, documentation of existing lexical resources, preparation of 2 publications (linguistic properties of MWEs, lexical formalisms for MWE description), defining challenging MWE cases Adam: published SOA surveys would have a great impact Manfred: means of interaction between WGs (how can outputs from one WG help the other WGs), e.g.: - WG1->WG2: types of MWEs - WG1->WG2|WG3: positive/negative test sequences for parsing 8. Logo: - beware of ugly logos - make it a contest - keep the right to select none of the proposed logos - proposal for submission deadline: 15 June 2014 9. Members' list - Jakub Waszczuk is developing the procedure to add new members automatically upon clicking on validation link by a WG leader. - Agata would like to solicit about 300 € on year's 2 dissemination budget for this work 10. Unifying the mailing lists wg1-4 and parseme-all - Problem: in is unclear if all members of parseme-wg1 through parseme-wg4 are also members of parseme-all. This should however be the case for communication reasons. - We need to: ° Unify the current lists (Adam) ° Complete the procedure of the admission of new members: clicking on the validation link by the WG leader sends an email to Adam to add the new member to parseme-all. 10. Miscellaneous: - Impose footnote on PARSEME for publication within the action. Undiscussed issue: - contents of the training school in Prague in January 2015 %%%%%%%%%%% TO DO: Adam: - add the WG vice-leaders and V. Vincze to parseme-steer - consolidate wg1-4 with parseme-all (cf. 10) Agata: - formalize the SC rules on the website - put the WG leaders' and vice-leaders' mails on the website - transfer the additional procedure of adding new WG members to Jakub (mail to Adam, cf. 10) - Shuly - ask about 3 rooms in parallel (one day) - logo: ask the community for terms and images; announce the logo contest and deadline - create web pages for the next events (SC meeting, Prague, Malta) - negotiate dates for Prague and Malta Victoria: - fill in the WG4 contents on the website Mike: - check the time slot for 20 June p.m. - set up a Flash Meeting Cvetana: - Announce the STSM validation to Shashi and Piotr
