 DIALOGUE'98

International Workshop on computational linguistics and its applications
 Kazan(Russia), May 31 - June 4, 1998

Dear Colleagues,

We are glad to inform you about DIALOGUE'98, an international annual
workshop on computational linguistics and its applications, which will
take place this year in May 31 - June 4, near Kazan (Tatarstan, Russian
Federation).

DIALOGUE'98 should become fourth International Workshop in row of
 DIALOGUE'95 Kazan
 DIALOGUE'96 Puschino
 DIALOGUE'97 Yasnaya Polyana
reviving the tradition of the interdisciplinary DIALOGUE seminars which
were regular national events in the USSR during 70s-80s.

The Workshop is an annual meeting place for a dialogue:
a) between researchers from different fields that are related to
 computational linguistics (linguists, computer and cognitive
 scientists, psychologists, researchers in the artificial intelligence);
b) between researchers from the former USSR and from the international
 community.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

* theoretical and cognitive linguistics
* syntax, semantics, pragmatics and their interaction
* systems for natural language processing
* dialogue and speech act
* problems of natioanl localization of natural language processing
* natural language front-ends
* natural language understanding and model of object domain
* voice interaction with computer
* knowledge representation and processing

The number of participants is expected about 100. Every prospective
attendee is required to submit a short research summary including
relevant recent publications, regular and e-mail address, fax and phone
numbers.

Participants who wish to present their work are additionally required to
submit a poster (3-4 double-spaced pages, 6-8 kB) or a full paper (not
exceeding 12 double- spaced pages, 24 kB). Please send submissions
preferably via e-mail (in plain ASCII or uuencoded Winword files) to the
aldress of the Program Committee before March 1, 1998. Submissions in
Russian and English are equally accepted. Submissions in Russian should
be accompanied with a short summary in English (approximately 100-200
words). We plan to organize selected English-to-Russian and
Russian-to-English translation of talks.

In the field of computational linguistics in Russia the DIALOGUE

from the former USSR as well as other countries. We hope that
DIALOGUE'98 will continue this tradition.
