This aspect of natural language has proved a major challenge for all of these fields, and a great many differing theories and solutions have been proposed and implemented with varying degrees of success. A need clearly exists for workers in the field of anaphora and anaphor resolution to meet. Our hope is that this meeting will allow all of the different strands of work on anaphora to be identified, with a view to producing an up-to-date review of the field that incorporates the many changes that have taken place in this field in recent years. For this reason, a Colloquium will take place on 17th and 18th July, 1996 at Lancaster University, UK. Papers are requested for presentation on all aspects of anaphora and anaphor resolution. The following research areas are of particular interest, but do not constitute an exhaustive list: corpus-based studies of anaphora in natural language, statistical approaches to anaphor resolution, cognitive and psychological perspectives, discourse and text-processing perspectives, information retrieval and other computer applications, pragmatics and anaphor resolution, and linguistic-theoretical approaches. Papers reporting work on anaphora in any language are welcome. Research may be work in progress, or work that has already been completed. Please send abstracts to a member of the DAARC96 Organizing Committee at one of the addresses given below. Abstracts may be sent either electronically, by email or fax, or by traditional surface mail. Abstracts should be at least 100 words in length, though the upper limit is at authors' discretion. Full papers may be as long or as short as authors wish, but we recommend that they be approximately 8-10 pages in length. Abstracts should arrive at Lancaster by 1st December, 1995, and notification will be sent by 12th January, 1996. Draft versions of full papers should arrive by 30th April, 1996. The proceedings of the colloquium will be published, initially as a Special Edition of the UCREL Technical Papers Series. Current fees for the colloquium are as follows: FULL RESIDENTIAL FEE: 120 POUNDS STERLING STUDENT RESIDENTIAL FEE: 80 POUNDS STERLING NON-RESIDENTIAL FEE: 50 POUNDS STERLING ============================================================================ The DAARC96 Organizing Committee: Simon Botley, Dr Tony McEnery, Department of Linguistics and MEL, Department of Linguistics and MEL Lancaster University, Lancaster University Bailrigg, Bailrigg, Lancaster LA14YT Lancaster LA1 4YT email: spbMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
eurokom.ie <M750eurokom.ie>COLING 96 International Conference on Computational Linguistics Dates: 5 (Mon) August - 9 (Fri) August, 1996 Place: University of Copenhagen, Denmark Chairman of the Program Chairman of the Organizing Committee Committee Prof. Jun-ichi Tsujii Prof. Bente Maegaard CCL, UMIST & University of Tokyo CST, Copenhagen The International Committee on Computational Linguistics invites the submission of papers for Coling 96, the 16th International Conference on Computational Linguistics, in Copenhagen, Denmark. Topics of Interest: Papers are invited on substantial, original and unpublished research on all aspects of computational linguistics, including, but not limited to, the following. syntax semantics phonetics phonology morphology discourse pragmatics quantitative linguistics corpus linguistics mathematical linguistics cognitive linguistics parsing generation language understanding discourse processing speech analysis/synthesis computational lexicon large text corpora computational terminology text data base information retrieval knowledge representation for NLP automatic abstraction knowledge acquisition from corpora machine translation machine aids for translation dialogue multi-media systems involving language man-machine interface hardware/software for NLP Requirement for Submission: Papers should describe unique work: They should emphasize completed work rather than intended work: A paper accepted for presentation at the Coling cannot be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences must reflect this fact on the title page. Format for Submission: Authors should submit preliminary versions of their papers, not to exceed 4000 words (exclusive of references). Papers outside the specified length and formatting requirements are subject to rejection without review. Since reviewing will be "blind", the title page of the paper should omit author names and addresses. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the authors' identity. To identify each paper, a separate identification page should be supplied, containing the paper's title, the name(s) of the author(s), complete addresses, a short summary (10 lines), a word count, and a specification of the topic area. Submission Media: Papers should be submitted electronically or in hard copy to the Program Chair: Jun-ichi TSUJII Department of Information Science Faculty of Science University of Tokyo 113 7-3-1 Hongo Bunkyo-ku Tokyo Japan + 81-3-3818-1073 (fax.) coling96Mail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
