Portuguese Language - Written and Spoken, to be held in the University
of the Algarve, Faro, Portugal, June 26-27, 2003 addresses the
scientific community involved in the computational processing of
Portuguese - written and spoken.

This PROPOR Workshop follows previous workshops held in 1993 (Evora,
Portugal), 1996 (Curitiba, Brazil), 1998 (Porto Alegre, Brazil), 1999
(Evora, Portugal) and 2000 (Atibaia-SP, Brazil).

 Linguistic, mathematical and psychological models of language
 Pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax and the lexicon
 Phonetics, phonology and morphology
 Terminology
 Understanding and generating spoken and written language
 Summarization and information extraction
 Natural language interfaces and dialogue systems
 Machine learning for natural language
 Speech production and perception
 Speech analysis, processing and feature estimation
 Speaker authentication
 Speech coding and transmission
 Multi-lingual processing, machine translation and translation aids
 Tools and resources
 Evaluation
 Applications
 Education


We invite the scientific community to submit papers reporting original
and completed, rather than intended work on all fields of
Computational Processing of Portuguese. Wherever appropriate, concrete
evaluation results should be included. Preference will be given to
papers that may contribute in a significant way to the development of
the domain. Further details can be found on the Workshop web-site.

We also invite people and institutions of NLP industries to
