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.

CALL FOR REGISTRATION
_____________________________________________________________________
ACL'97 / EACL'97 Workshop
11 July, 1997
Madrid, Spain
OPERATIONAL FACTORS IN PRACTICAL, ROBUST
ANAPHORA RESOLUTION FOR UNRESTRICTED TEXTS
_____________________________________________________________________
This workshop has a dual focus. It promotes work
which addresses the practical requirements of operational and
robust anaphora resolution components. It also seeks to
investigate the role of, and interactions among, the various factors in
anaphora resolution: in particular those that scale well, or that
translate easily to knowledge-poor environments.
PROGRAMME
==========
The reviewing process, given the many workshop submissions,
was highly competitive (each paper was evaluated by 3 referees)
and the following 14 papers were selected:
Regular papers:
Renata Vieira, Simone Teufel, Massimo Poesio (University of Edinburgh) -
Bridging References in Definite Description Resolution
Tatsunori Mori, Mamoru Masuo, Hiroshi Nakagawa (Yokohama National University)-
Constraints and defaults of zero pronouns in Japanese
instruction manuals
Ruslan Mitkov (University of Wolverhampton) -
Factors in anaphora resolution: they are not the only things that matter.
A case study based on two different approaches
Hiromi Nakaiwa (NTT, Kanagawa) -
Automatic extraction of rules for anaphora resolution of Japanese
zero pronouns from aligned sentence pairs
Roland Stuckard (Frankfurt) -
Resolving anaphoric references on deficient syntactic descriptions
Breck Baldwin (University of Pennsylvania) -
High precision coreference with limited knowledge and
linguistic resources
Megumi Kameyama (SRI, Menlo Park) -
Recognising referential links:
an information extraction perspective
Marco da Rocha (University of Sussex) -
Supporting anaphor resolution in dialogues with a corpus-based
probabilistic model
Sabine Bergler (Concordia University) -
Towards reliable partial anaphora resolution
Tony McEnery, Izumi Tanaka, Simon Botley (Lancaster University) -
Corpus annotation and reference resolution
Kevin Humphreys, Robert Gaizauskas, Saliha Azzam (University of Sheffield) -
Even coreference for information extraction
Position papers
Ruslan Mitkov (University of Wolverhampton) -
How far are we from (semi-)automatic annotation of anaphoric links
in corpora?
Kaja Borthen, Thorstein Fretheim, Jeanette Gundel
(Norwegian University of Science and Technology/University of Minnesota)
What brings a higher-order entity into focus of attention?
The distribution of sentential 'it'.
Andrei Popescu, Isabelle Robba (LIMSI, Orsay) -
Cooperation between pronoun and reference resolution
for unrestricted texts
In addition, the workshop programme will feature an invited talk.
