ntu.edu.sg> <nefntu.edu.sg>- -------------------------------------------------------------------- 9th International Conference on Neural Information Processing (ICONIP'02) 4th Asia-Pacific Conference on Simulated Evolution And Learning (SEAL'02) International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD'02) - -------------------------------------------------------------------- November 18 - 22, 2002, Orchid Country Club, Singapore http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/nef Organized by: School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Sponsored by: Asia-Pacific Neural Network Assembly SEAL & FSKD Steering Committees In Co-Operation with: IEEE Neural Network Society International Neural Network Society European Neural Network Society SPIE Supported by: Lee Foundation Singapore Exhibition & Convention Bureau ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CALL FOR PAPERS, SPONSORSHIPS, AND SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ICONIP'02, SEAL'02, and FSKD'02 will be jointly held in Orchid Country Club, Singapore from November 18 to 22, 2002. The conferences will not only feature the most up-to-date research results in neural information processing, evolutionary computation, fuzzy systems, and knowledge discovery, but also promote cross-fertilization over these exciting and yet closely-related areas. Registration to any one of the conferences will entitle a participant to the technical sessions and the proceedings of all three conferences, as well as the conference banquet, buffet lunches, and tours to two of the major attractions in Singapore, i.e., Night Safari and Sentosa Resort Island. Many well- known researchers will present keynote speeches, panel discussions, invited lectures, and tutorials. About Singapore - ------------- Located at one of the most important crossroads of the world, Singapore is truly a place where East and West come together. Here you will find Chinese, Indian, and Malay communities living together, their long established cultures forming a unique backdrop to a clean and modern garden city. English is spoken everywhere and is the common business language of all. Few places on earth promise such a delight for the palate, with gourmet cuisine from over 30 countries. Exotic resorts in neighboring countries are only a short bus/ferry ride away. Orchid Country Club (OCC) - ----------------------- The venue for this year's conferences is at one of Singapore's premier country clubs, a 25-minute bus ride from the city. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Singapore, the tranquil setting of the resort is ideal for serious technical discussions with an accommodating space and ambience for relaxation. Not to miss out on the splendor of downtown Singapore, the organizer has also secured good quality and affordable accommodation in the heart of the city with pre-arranged transport to/from the OCC. For golf enthusiasts, OCC is equipped with the largest computerized driving range in South East Asia and boasts of a 27-hole golf course with facilities for night golfing, ideal for relaxation after each day of technical discussions. Visit the OCC website at http://www.orchidclub.com Night Safari and Sentosa Resort Island - ------------------------------------ It is said that a visit to Singapore is not complete without making a trip to two of the Republic's famous attractions. The only one of its kind in the world, the Night Safari provides a setting for visitors to experience what it is like to observe animals in their nocturnal habitat. The island of Sentosa offers some unique attractions and a visit there will also provide a glimpse and imagery of Singapore's past and present. Visits to these two attractions will be included as recreation for the joint conference. (Websites: http://www.zoo.com.sg/safari/, http://www.sentosa.com.sg) Topics of Interest - ---------------- The joint conferences welcomes paper submissions from researchers, practitioners, and students worldwide in but not limited to the following areas.

lim.univ-mrs.fr>****************************************************************** 5th INTEX Workshop Marseille, 2-3 mai 2002 Deadline extension ****************************************************************** The fifth INTEX workshop will take place in Marseille on May 2 and 3, 2002. INTEX is a linguistic development environment which parses texts of large corpora. It includes large-coverage linguistic resources and tools to create and maintain them. These resources are in the form of electronic dictionaries, graph libraries and databases of morphological and syntactic lexicon-grammars. This platform is compatible with linguistic resources of the DELA system, the initial form of electronic dictionaries of the LADL laboratory. These dictionaries are lexical databases that provide for each item morphological, syntactic and semantic information. The user can exploit his own resources, French dictionaires which have been developed at the LADL and within the European RELEX network, compatible linguistic resources (i.e. that use the same format) which have been built for several languages: Bulgarian, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Serbo-Croatian, Slovak, Spanish. New studies have been started for Slovak. One interesting characteristic of INTEX is that the system is "open": users can add their own resources and use the INTEX programs to build new applications. INTEX is used in over 80 research centers as a linguistic platform, an information retrieval system, to teach second languages, as a terminological extractor, as well as to teach computational linguistics to students. As in the previous workshops, (June 1996, 1999, 2000 and 2001), this meeting will be the oportunity for INTEX users to meet and to exchange their experience of development, research or teaching. It will also be the occasion to present the new functionalities of INTEX in recent developments. For new users or researchers working with other systems, this meeting offers the possibility of discovering a diversified panel of INTEX application fields. In addition to oral presentations concerning research or current developments, tutorials will allow to experiment the software. Please send before March 1st 2002 a one-page abstract to Jean Royaute, Paul Sabatier or Max Silberztein, if possible by email. The abstract, in French or English, should contain the title of the article, name, author affiliations, surface mail and electronic address of each author. After the conference, authors will be invited to send a definitive version of their papers for publishing. Proceedings will be available and downloadable on the LIM web pages and the INTEX site. This electronic publication will also collect papers of INTEX-2001.
