          5th AUSTRALASIAN NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING WORKSHOP
                              (ANLP2002)

                     Second Call for Participation

                           2nd December 2002
                          Canberra, Australia

Macquarie University's Centre for Language Technology cordially
invites you to this one-day workshop on Natural Language Processing to
be held in conjunction with the Australian AI conference (AI'02) in
Canberra: http://www.cs.adfa.edu.au/~abbass/AI02/index.html

The goals of the workshop are:

    * to bring together the growing NLP community in Australia and New
      Zealand;
    * to provide an opportunity for the broader artificial intelligence
      community to become aware of local NLP research;
    * to provide a forum for discussion of new research;
    * to foster interaction between academic and industrial research.

Our hope is to get as many Australasian NLPers together as possible to
encourage dialogue between those working on similar topics and between
areas with a - perhaps as yet untapped - potential to interact.

Below is the provisional program for the Workshop. The final details
