ics.mq.edu.au>5th Australasian Natural Language Processing Workshop Final 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 TOPIC We invite the submission of papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research on all aspects of natural language processing, including, but not limited to: * speech understanding and generation; * phonology, morphology, syntax,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. PROGRAM COMMITTEE * Dominique Estival, SaySo! * Sabine Geldof, Macquarie University (Co-chair) * Alistair Knott, University of Otago * Diego Molla-Aliod, Macquarie University (Co-chair) * Cecile Paris, CSIRO * Jon Patrick, University of Sydney * Ingrid Zukerman, Monash University SUBMISSION FORMAT The length of the submissions should not exceed 8 pages, printed single-spaced in 12 point font. The first page should include: * paper title, * author name(s) and affiliation, * complete addresses including email address and fax number, * keywords, * abstract. Only electronic submissions of PDF or PostScript files will be accepted. If we cannot print your file by the submission date it will be rejected without being reviewed. Therefore you are encouraged to send an early version with the typographical complexity of your final intended version so that we can check it is printable.
