Collocations"<BR><BR> 22., 23. July 2002 Vienna,
Austria<BR><BR><BR>Chair: <BR> Brigitte Krenn (ÖFAI,
Vienna)<BR>Organising Committee:<BR> Brigitte Krenn
(ÖFAI, Vienna),<BR> Geoffrey Willians (Université de
Bretagne Sud, France),<BR> Ulrich Heid (IMS Stuttgart,
Germany)<BR><BR><BR><BR>Workshop description:<BR><BR>"Computational Approaches
to Collocations" will be a two day workshop with paper presentations and special
topic sessions. The scope of the workshop will cover computational models
and strategies for collocation identification and their use in computational
linguistic applications. For more information see<BR><A
href="http://www.ai.univie.ac.at/colloc02/index.html">http://www.ai.univie.ac.at/colloc02/index.html</A>.<BR><BR>The
workshop is intended to complement the EURALEX Workshop on "Lexicographic
applications of computational approaches to collocations: Restricted
collocations in dictionaries" chaired by Geoffrey Williams and Ulrich Heid
(see<BR><A
href="http://www.cst.dk/elx2002/workshop/index.html">http://www.cst.dk/elx2002/workshop/index.html</A>).<BR><BR>Papers
are invited on all computational aspects of identifying and processing lexical
collocations, including, but not limited to:<BR>statistics-based and hybrid
methods on collocation identification, the development and testing of
association measures, the discussion of significance versus relevance of
identification results, the application of collocations in information
extraction, in machine translation, in the development of lexical resources, in
the evaluation of smoothing methods, etc. <BR><BR><BR>Format of
