Meeting Description:

MIDWEST COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS COLLOQUIUM

The Department of Linguistics at Indiana University is pleased to
announce the inaugural meeting of the MCLC, a conference intended to
provide a strong, local (midwestern) venue for the discussion of new
research in subfield of Linguistics of interest to Computational
Linguists. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Semantics and Pragmatics, Learnability
of Formal Grammar, Grammar Induction, Integration of Symbolic and
Stochastic Models of Grammar,
Foundational/Methodological/Architectural Issues in Grammar.

PhD students and Researchers with unfinished work in need of
feedback/discussion are especially encouraged to apply. More

Date: 25-26 June 2004
Location: Indiana University - Bloomington, Indiana

The Computational Linguistics Program of the Linguistics Department,
the Cognitive Science Department of Indiana University are pleased to
announce that the inaugural meeting of the Midwest Computational
Linguistics Colloquium (MCLC) will take place the weekend of June
25-26.

This meeting marks the first of what will become an annual conference
devoted to issues in Cognitive Science and Computational
Linguistics. Topics under discussion include grammar learnability and
induction, integration of stochastic and symbolic models of grammar,
architectural issues in grammar, and formal and computational models
across various areas of Linguistics, including syntax, phonology,
morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics.
