Against the backdrop of the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Temple
of Heaven, the Summer Palace, and many other cultural and natural
highlights, the Institute of Computational Linguistics at Peking
University, Beijing, China, will host the 7th International Workshop
on Parsing Technologies (IWPT'01) from 17 to 19 October, 2001.
(Note that October is the most beautiful and pleasant time of the year
in Beijing, with average daytime temperatures of around 20 degrees
Centigrade and average nighttime low of 9 degrees C.)

IWPT'01  continues  the  tradition  of  biennial  workshops  on  parsing
technology organised by SIGPARSE,  the Special Interest Group on Parsing
of the  Association for Computational Linguistics  (ACL).
