Proceedings of the First Workshop on Metaphor in NLP, Atlanta, Georgia, 13 June 2013
The First Workshop on Metaphor in NLP is the first one focused on modelling of metaphor using NLP techniques. The selected papers offer explorations into the following directions: (1) creation of metaphor-annotated datasets; (2) identification of new features that are useful for metaphor identification; (3) cross-lingual metaphor identification.The papers represent a variety of approaches to utilization and creation of datasets. While existing annotated corpora were used in some papers (Dunn, Tsvetkov et al), most papers describe creation of new annotated materials. Along with annotation guidelines adapted from the MIP and MIPVU procedures (Badryzlova et al), more intuitive annotation protocols are explored in Beigman Klebanov and Flor, Hovy et al, Heintz et al, Mohler et al, and Strzalkowski et al.
