The DIALOGUE Workshop is a major annual national event which brings together

USSR as well as other countries for a dialogue in a broad spectrum of fields 
concerning human languages computational models and technologies.

The topics of interest include (but are not limited to) :

- theoretical and computational linguistics
- syntax, semantics, pragmatics and their interaction
- natural language processing
- knowledge representation and processing
- text, dialogue and speech act in the computational framework
- speech understanding and synthesis
- machine translation
- corpus linguistics
- natural language processing and Internet
- semantic modeling of full-text documents

The DIALOGUE Workshop is traditionally held at a pleasant and comfortable
site near Moscow, during 6 days at the very end of May and beginning of June. 
The six previous annual DIALOGUE workshops were very successful,
significantly increasing (more than twice) the number of participants and the scope 
of research interests. The two-volume Proceedings of the DIALOGUE'2000 is 
available at the  http: file://www.dialog-21.ru/English/default.htm

as R & D and commercial projects.

As always, the program of DIALOGUE'2001 will include research and experience
presentations, posters, demonstrations, panel sessions, round tables  and time for 
discussion. In view of main topics of the Workshop, research presentations may 
also have a substantial demonstrative component. 
English-to-Russian and Russian-to-English interpretation of talks will be organised.
