areas for future research. Topics to be presented include concept based
 retrieval
and indexing, processing information for speech synthesis, using specialized
dictionaries to improve retrieval, and integrating NLP and IR. The workshop
 will
conclude with a panel discussion on recent initiatives in natural language
processing and information retrieval.
