DIALOGUE'2001

May 30 - June 4, 2001

CALL FOR PAPERS


The DIALOGUE Workshop is a major annual national event which brings
together researchers and experts (linguists, computer and cognitive
scientists, psychologists, researchers in the artificial intelligence
and speech processing, etc.) from the former USSR as well as other
countries for a dialogue in a broad spectrum of fields concerning
human languages computational models and technologies.

The topics of interest include (but are not limited to) :

- theoretical and computational linguistics
- syntax, semantics, pragmatics and their interaction
- natural language processing
- knowledge representation and processing
- text, dialogue and speech act in the computational framework
- speech understanding and synthesis
- machine translation
- corpus linguistics
- natural language processing and Internet
- semantic modeling of full-text documents

The DIALOGUE Workshop is traditionally held at a pleasant and
comfortable site near Moscow, during 6 days at the very end of May and
beginning of June. The six previous annual DIALOGUE workshops were
very successful, significantly increasing (more than twice) the number
of participants and the scope of research interests. The two-volume
Proceedings of the DIALOGUE' 2000 is available at the
http://www.dialog-21.ru . It consists of 120 papers reflecting the wide
scope of theoretical works as well as R & D and commercial projects.

As always, the program of DIALOGUE'2001 will include research and 
experience presentations, posters, demonstrations, panel sessions,
round tables and time for discussion. In view of main topics of the
Workshop, research presentations may also have a substantial
demonstrative component. English-to-Russian and Russian-to-English
interpretation of talks will be organised.
