 Workshop on Morphological and Phonological Learning
 -----------------------------------

 Philadelphia, PA
 11 July 2002

 Sixth Meeting of the
 ACL Special Interest Group in Computational Phonology
 in cooperation with
 ACL Special Interest Group in Natural Language Learning
 sponsored by the
 Association for Computational Linguistics

 ---------------

 The Workshop on Morphological and Phonological Learning will
be held July 11 2002, immediately after the ACL-02 meetings
vat the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
Pennsylvania, USA. Among the topics are the automated
or semi-automated discovery of morphology and/or phonology,
and the evaluation and comparison of morphology learning
technologies.

Invited Speaker: David Yarowsky
"Bootstrapping morphological analyzers from monolingual and
bilingual data--building multimodal bridges"

 Utpal Sharma, Jugal Kalita, and Rajib Das
"Unsupervised Learning of Morphology for Building Lexicon
for a Highly Inflectional Language"

Matthew G. Snover, Gaja E. Jarosz, and Michael R. Brent
"Unuspervised Learning of Morphology Using a Novel Directed
Search Algorithm: Taking the First Step"
