Call For Participation
Pacling-2007
10th Conference of the Pacific Association for Computational Linguistics
University of Melbourne
Australia
September 19-21, 2007

* Aims
Pacling 2007 is a high-quality, workshop-style conference whose aim is
to promote friendly scientific interaction relating to computational
linguistics among Pacific Rim countries. The emphasis of the
conference is on interdisciplinary scientific exchange demonstrating
openness towards high-quality research falling outside current
dominant schools of thought, and on technological transfer within the
Pacific region. The conference represents a unique forum for
scientific and technological exchange, being smaller than ACL and
COLING, and more regional with extensive representation from the
Pacific region.
* Theme and Invited Speakers
In addition to general computational linguistics, Pacling-2007 will
have a major theme:
Deep processing: Abstracting away from the surface
Three invited speakers will address this theme:
* ''Applying robust semantics''
Ann Copestake (University of Cambridge, UK)
* ''The Generation of Referring Expressions:
Where We've Been, How We Got Here, and Where We're Going''
Robert Dale (Macquarie University, Australia)
* ''Word Construction and Multi-layered Sentence Analysis''
Yuji Matsumoto (Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Japan)
* Program
The program consists of 39 papers in two parallel sessions:
http://mandrake.csse.unimelb.edu.au/pacling2007/?q=node/22.
The papers selected range over a variety of topics, including Machine
Translation, Parsing, Named Entity Extraction and Terminology.
In keeping with the theme of ``Deep processing: Abstracting away from
the surface'', the two most common themes are Lexical Semantics
(including WSD) and Question Answering.
* Organization
President: Shun Ishizaki (Keio University, Japan)
Program Chair: Francis Bond (NICT, Japan)
Local Chairs: Timothy Baldwin (University of Melbourne, Australia)
David Martinez (University of Melbourne, Australia)
