DIALOGUE'96 International Conference on computational linguistics and its applications DIALOGUE'96, an international workshop on computational linguistics and its applications, will take place May 4-9, 1996 in the scientific park Puschino (100 km from Moscow). The conference title means that it is a meeting place for a dialogue a) between researchers from different fields that are related to computational linguistics (linguists, computer scientists, cognitive scientists, psychologists); b) between researchers from the former USSR and from the international community in computational linguistics. Puschino is a scientific park that has been developed in the 70s for the biology-oriented research. The town is located in the picturesque place on the bank of Oka river (a tributary of Volga) and is surrounded by forests. Conference will take place in the Institute of Proteins. All attendees will live in the hotel "Puschino". The registration fee for the conference is 150,000 Russian rubles (about $30). One place in a double room at the hotel costs 75,000 Russian rubles ($15), single occupation of the double room costs 136,000 ($27). These prices are tentative due to inflation in Russia, however, their dollar equivalent will remain relatively stable. All fees will be paid on site. The registration will be held at the Russian Institute of Artificial Intelligence located in Moscow at Chernyakhovsky St., 9, room 331 during May 4 from 9.30 a.m. till 11.30 a.m. Late participants will be registered during the conference in Puschino. Daily expense on food in Puschino is approximately $15 - 30. We suggest you to exchange the relevant amount of rubles and cash your credit cards in Moscow before you travel to Puschino. You may reach Puschino by bus (bus station at metro Yugo-Zapadnaya, bus no. 359 leaving to Puschino, it'll take you there in 2 hours). We are going to organize a bus transfer from the Russian Institute of Artificial Intelligence after the registration ( departure 11.30 a.m., May 4).
