(INTER)NATIONAL CALL FOR PAPERS
FIRST NORTHWEST CONFERENCE ON SLAVIC LINGUISTICS - May 17, 1997
Keynote speaker: Horace G. Lunt, Samuel Hazzard Cross Professor
(emer.), Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, Harvard
University
The first Northwest Conference on Slavic Linguistics,
co-sponsored by the University of Oregon,the University of Washington,
and the Oregon Humanities Center, will be held on Saturday, May 17,
1997, at the University of Oregon, in Eugene. The purpose of the
conference is to provide a national forum devoted specifically to
Slavic linguistics which includes all areas of theoretical linguistics
and philology.
A one-page paper abstract on any topic in theoretical Slavic
linguistics or Slavic philology should be submitted by e-mail by
JANUARY 20, 1997 to either James Augerot (bigjim at u.washington.edu),
Katarzyna Dziwirek (dziwirek at u.washington.edu), or Cynthia
Vakareliyska (vakarel at oregon.uoregon.edu). If necessary, abstracts may
be faxed or mailed to C. Vakareliyska, Department of Russian,
University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403 (fax: (541) 346-1327).
The Eugene airport serves direct flights from San Francisco,
Seattle, Portland, Denver, and Salt Lake City. Hotel accommodations
are available within walking distance of the university; information
concerning hotel reservations will be posted in January. An optional
excursion to Crater Lake is planned for the day following the
conference. Conference registration fee: $25. For further information,
contact C. Vakareliyska.

Subject: AAAI Spring Symposium 1997
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the organising committee, I should like to invite you all
to submit to the following 1997 AAAI Spring Symposium on the
Intelligent Integration and Use of Text, Image, Video and Audio
Corpora. We hope for a productive and exciting exploration of the
emerging possibilities for intelligent systems that make use of
information gathered simultaneously in more than one modality.
Both full papers and abstracts describing work in progress or topics
for discussion will be accepted until November 20th, but should be
sent earlier if possible.
Since this is a new area, we may not have identified all potentially
interested parties to whom this call should be addressed. We urge you
to post it where your colleagues can see it, and to forward it to
others who may be interested.
For more information see: http://www.informedia.cs.cmu.edu/sssaaai/
or, if that doesn't answer your questions, feel free to write to me.

Intelligent Integration and Use of Text, Image,
Video and Audio Corpora
American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Spring
Symposium 1997
Call for Participation
It is now possible for sizeable corpora of Text, Image, Video and
Audio (TIVA) to be made available for research and applications. In
contrast with text processing, however, few effective methods exist
for understanding, or even searching, the content represented by
images or video and audio recordings. Intelligent,
content-understanding programs can greatly improve the usefulness of
these huge quantities of existing material. By collecting and
intelligently integrating several of these media sources,
opportunities are opened up for novel applications of existing
techniques in AI, and for the development of new AI technologies.
This symposium is intended to explore current AI research and
potential future contributions of AI in making use of TIVA sources.
The symposium is intended to foster:
* Exploration of AI techniques for creating intelligent tools for the
collection, cataloging and exploration of mixed TIVA materials.
* Discussion and presentation of experimental results concerning the
simultaneous use of information from text, image, video and audio
channels. How can integration of these sources support intelligent
behaviour and machine learning in ways that would not be possible
using any single medium alone?
In particular we want to encourage the exchange of research that
crosses the boundaries between vision, speech processing, language
processing, knowledge representation, intelligent agent design and
information retrieval, allowing participants to share ideas and
effective approaches to the problem of making TIVA sources more
accessible and useful both to people and to other intelligent
programs.
For more information see: http://www.informedia.cs.cmu.edu/sssaaai/
Submission Information:
Potential participants should submit a short extended abstract that
thoroughly describes an approach to solving problems in the
intelligent integration of TIVA sources, and that explains the
significance of this work. We are particularly interested in papers
describing how integrated TIVA sources are being used in functioning
systems. We encourage the presentation, for discussion, of
work-in-progress, especially where such work is supported by empirical
or theoretical evidence. Postscript or hardcopy submissions should be
submitted to the following address. We may require later submission of
html versions of accepted papers. The submission deadline is November
25th 1996, but you are strongly encouraged to contact us before this
date to signal your intention to submit.
