They considered the reviews from the program committee. Their decision was based on studying the final versions of the papers, which benefited from additional editing by authors who considered reviewers' comments in rewriting their papers.</p> <h3>Vannevar Bush Best Paper Award</h3> <p><b>Transferring Structural Markup Across Translations Using Multilingual Alignment and Projection</b><br/> <i>David Bamman, Alison Babeu, and Gregory Crane</i></p> <p> Some of the comments from reviews include: <ul> <li>This paper describes a method for transferring structural markup (TEI-compliant XML) from a well marked up text to other unstructured texts in different languages (or editions in the same language). The idea is that the effort put into the one heavily marked up text can save much effort in automatically marking up additional texts in multilingual digital libraries.</li> <li>This paper addresses the important issue of leveraging the detailed annotation of text in one language, mapped onto parallel text in another unrelated language. <li>The paper is very well-written and reasoned with good context setting and references.</li> <li>The use case given for such an activity is to bootstrap multilingual digital libraries. Good accuracy is obtained in the evaluation across two collections, one transcribed and one created with optical character recognition.</li> <li>With increased digitized works, especially those serving humanities and history scholars, this is a truly beneficial approach to automating xml markup. Future work to improve the precision will yield access to mass digitized content that will have an impact on scholarship at a global level.</li> <li>The paper is an excellent contribution to the field. It is well-structured, well-argued, carefully tested and analyzed with excellent and relevant references.</li> </ul> Additional comments include: <ul> <li>Very nice paper. I enjoyed reading it.</li> <li>careful study</li> <li>difficult task</li> <li>increase access to resources across languages</li> <li>important and difficult problem, well researched, effective approach, strong evaluation, global impact</li> </ul> </p> <h3>Best Student Paper Award</h3> <p><b>Improving Mood Classification in Music Digital Libraries by Combining Lyrics and Audio</b><br/> <i>Xiao Hu & J. Stephen Downie</i></p> <p> Some of the comments from reviews include: <ul> <li>This compelling paper describes an approach to classifying the mood of music by combining sentiment analysis of textual information (lyrics) and analysis of the audio. This paper builds on the authors' previous work analyzing lyrical and audio features, but goes further in looking at stylistics, combining feature types, and evaluating the 'post fusion' method. The paper exhaustively details different approaches for evaluating lyrical features, including basic text (content, POS, function words), (psycho)linguistic features (using lexicons such as General Inquirer, WordNet, etc.), and stylistics (punctuation, interjections, etc.) The authors find that concatenating features results in better performance than individual feature types.</li> <li>Overall, I thought this paper was very good, and interesting. This paper is interesting, clearly written and much feature selection work has been done.</li> </ul> Additional comments include: <ul> <li>the paper is well structured and good to read</li> <li>clever synthesis and integration of a broad range of DL techniques to effectively solve a hard problem</li> </ul> </p> <h2>JCDL 2011</h2> JCDL 2011 will be held in Ottawa, Canada from June 13<sup>th</sup>-17<sup>th</sup>. <br> <br> <h2>JCDL 2012 Conference Proposals</h2> The JCDL steering committee solicits proposals from groups interested in organizing the JCDL conference in 2012 and beyond.
