ics.mq.edu.au>5th Australasian Natural Language Processing Workshop Second Call for Papers Workshop: 11th December 2001 Submissions due: 21st September 2001 University of Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia http://www.comp.mq.edu.au/hlt/events/anlp5/ PURPOSE A one-day workshop on Natural Language Processing will be held in conjunction with the Australian AI conference (AI'01) in Adelaide: http://www.cs.adelaide.edu.au/AI2001/ The goals of the workshop are: * to bring together the growing NLP community in Australia and New Zealand; * to provide an opportunity for the broader artificial intelligence community to become aware of local NLP research; * to provide a forum for discussion of new research; * to foster interaction between academic and industrial research. Our hope is to get as many Australasian NLPers together as possible to encourage dialogue between those working on similar topics and between areas with a - perhaps as yet untapped - potential to interact. Subject to sponsorship confirmation, there will be an invited talk by Graeme Ritchie (University of Edinburgh) with the topic: "Text Generation with Surface Constraints". The workshop proceedings will be printed with an ISBN number. TOPIC We invite the submission of papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research on all aspects of natural language processing, including, but not limited to: * speech understanding and generation; * phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse; * interpreting and generating spoken and written language; * linguistic, mathematical, and psychological models of language; * language-oriented information extraction and retrieval; * corpus-based and statistical language modeling; * machine translation and translation aids; * natural language interfaces and dialogue systems; * message and narrative understanding systems; * computational lexicography. We welcome submissions on any topic that is of interest to the NLP community, but we particularly encourage submissions that broaden the scope of our community through the consideration of practical NLP applications. We especially invite people from industry working on NLP to send us their submissions and offer an opportunity to discuss and demonstrate their latest applications in front of an informed audience.

Bailyn, State University of New York at Stony Brook Dr. Elisabeth L=F6bel, Universit=E4t K=F6ln Place: NTNU, Dragvoll, Trondheim Time: 18 - 20 October 2001 Predication Susan Rothstein has ever since the publication of her Ph.D. thesis The Syntactic Forms of Predication (1985) been among the leading researchers in the field of predication. In the year 2000 she published the monograph Predicates and their Subjects. John F. Bailyn has worked in particular with case, word order and movement. Of special interest in the context of predication is his study of case and agreement in Slavonic languages. Elisabeth L=F6bel is best known for her work in the field of NP-syntax. In Trondheim she will focus on Copular verbs and argument structure, and Case alternation and the count/mass distinction in Finnish copular constructions. The course has been planned especially with Norwegian Ph.D. stipendiaries in linguistics, Scandinavian, and foreign languages in mind, and can form a module in their organised research training. The seminar is open to all those who are interested. Participants on the course are invited to present their own contributions (30 min. lecture + 10 min. discussion). Abstracts of up to 1 page to be sent to Dagny Causse, at the address below. Deadline of abstract submission: 1 September 2001 Closing date of registration for participants not presenting their own paper: 15 September 2001. There is no participation fee. Travel and accommodation in Trondheim must be covered by the participants. Ph.D. candidates will receive written documentation of their participation.
