We'd appreciate your limiting conference announcements to 150 lines,
so that we can post more than 1 per issue. Please consider omitting
information useful only to attendees, such as information on housing,
transportation, or rooms and times of sessions. Please do not use
abbreviations or acronyms for your conference unless you explain
them in your text. Many people outside your area of specialization
will not recognize them. Thank you for your cooperation.

SIGIR'96
WORKSHOP ON CROSS-LINGUISTIC INFORMATION RETRIEVAL
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
August 22, 1996
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH)
Zurich, Switzerland
BACKGROUND:
As more and more information sources are becoming available on the
Web, the portion of internationally available non-English text is
slowing growing, and surely the numbers of non-English speaking users
is growing much faster. The problem of accessing unrestricted
information with queries expressed in a language different from the
source language of the documents will become more widespread. This
workshop brings together researchers working on this problem of
cross-linguistic multilingual information retrieval.
