Call for Participation
Cross-Language Text and Speech Retrieval
AAAI Spring Symposium
March 24-26, 1997
Stanford University, USA
With the spread of electronic networks around the globe, there is an
increasing need for language technology and information retrieval
techniques which work in a multilingual domain. This symposium is
designed to bring together researchers from Information Retrieval,
Knowledge Organization, Computational Linguistics, Machine
Translation, Speech Processing, and related fields to address the
problem of constructing search and retrieval systems that can operate
across languages boundaries. The goal of the symposium is to foster
the development of interdisciplinary approaches to this task. Some
examples of research problems which could be addressed include:
o Corpus-based vs. knowledge-based approaches.
o Interlingual vs. language-pair oriented approaches.
o Knowledge extraction, text summarization, and automated indexing.
o Exploiting multilingual knowledge structures (such as thesauri).
o Using machine translation for cross-language text retrieval.
o Achieving broad domain coverage.
o Evaluation of multilingual retrieval systems.
The symposium will begin with introductory talks to provide a shared
background to all participants. This will be followed by a mixture of
presentation and discussion sessions. The presentations will focus on
innovative techniques and interesting practical applications.
Substantial time will be allocated for commentary, questions, and
discussion of the material. The discussion sessions will address
important and controversial topics of timely interest to the
participants. Some of the discussion sessions may be run in parallel
to create smaller groups and encourage more participation in a
collaborative environment. There may also be joint sessions with the
symposia: Natural Language Processing and the World Wide Web and/or
Intelligent Integration and Use of Text, Image, Video and Audio
Corpora, if there is sufficient common interest.
Submission Information
Interested participants should submit an extended abstract or a brief
statement of background and interest (a few paragraphs is sufficient)
by October 25, 1996. Authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to
submit a short working paper (two to eight pages) by January 17,
1997. They will also be asked to prepare either an oral or a poster
presentation. Other participants may be asked to prepare a short
verbal critique of a specific working paper and to introduce the
discussion of that paper. Graduate students are encouraged to
participate.
Working papers and up to date information regarding the symposium will
be made available on the following web site:
http://www.ee.umd.edu/medlab/filter/sss
Potential participants are encouraged to join an electronic mailing
list for pre-conference discussion. This can be done in advance by
sending email to majordomo at glue.umd.edu with the following in the body
of the message: "subscribe sss email_address" where email_address is
your email address. In the months following the October deadline, the
format and topics for the symposium discussion sessions will be worked
out in this forum.

Subject: cfp: 8th Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence
CALL FOR PAPERS
EPIA'97
8th Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Coimbra, Portugal
October 6-9, 1997
Under the auspices of the
Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence
The EPIA'97 Program Committee invites submissions of technical papers
for the 8th Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence which is
to be held in Coimbra, Portugal, by October 6-9, 1997. As in previous
issues ('89, '91, '93 and '95), EPIA'97 will be run as an
international conference, English being the official language. The
scientific program encompasses tutorials, invited lectures, parallel
workshops, and paper presentations. Four well-known researchers will
present invited lectures. The conference is devoted to all areas of
Artificial Intelligence and will cover both theoretical and
foundational issues and applications as well.

TIMETABLE
Submission Deadline: March 17, 1997
Notification of Acceptance or Rejection: May 19, 1997
Camera-Ready Copy: June 16, 1997
SUBMISSIONS
Authors must submit five (5) completed printed copies of their papers
to the EPIA'97 Submission Address (see below). Fax or electronic
submissions will not be accepted. Detailed instructions on the
procedure and on the format are available at the EPIA'97 Web site.
ELECTRONIC ABSTRACT
In addition to submitting the paper copies, authors should send a
short (200 words) electronic abstract of their paper to aid the
reviewing process. Detailed instructions on the procedure and on the
format are available at the EPIA'97 Web site.
REVIEW OF PAPERS
Submissions will be judged on significance, originality, quality and
clarity. Each paper will be cross-reviewed by three referees. Papers
will be subject to blind peer review: reviewers will not be aware of
the identities of the authors. This requires that authors exercise
some care not to identify themselves in their papers. Detailed
instructions are available at the EPIA'97 Web site. Submitted papers
must report original and previously unpublished work.
MAILING LIST
We have set up an automated mailing list facility to easily distribute
up to date information to those who wish to submit papers and/or
attend the conference. You may find instructions on how to add
yourself to the mailing list at the EPIA'97 Web site.
