Call for Papers
Workshop on Automatic Summarization
(pre-conference workshop in conjunction with ANLP-NAACL2000)
website: http://www.isi.edu/~cyl/was-anlp2000
sponsored by
ACL (Association for Computational Linguistics)
MITRE Corporation
Sunday, April 30, 2000
Seattle, Washington, USA
I. OVERVIEW
The problem of automatic summarization poses a variety of tough
challenges in both NL understanding and generation. A spate of recent
papers and tutorials on this subject at conferences such as ACL/EACL,
AAAI, ECAI, IJCAI, and SIGIR point to a growing interest in research
in this field. Several commercial summarization products have also
appeared. There have been several workshops in the past on this
subject: Dagstuhl in 94, ACL/EACL in 97, and the AAAI Spring Symposium
in 98. All of these were extremely successful, and the field is now
enjoying a period of revival and is advancing at a much quicker pace
than before. ANLP/NAACL'2000 is an ideal occasion to host another
workshop on this problem.
The Workshop on Automatic Summarization program committee invites papers
addressing (but not limited to):
Summarization Methods:
use of linguistic representations,
statistical models,
NL generation for summarization,
production of abstracts and extracts,
multi-document summarization,
narrative techniques in summarization,
multilingual summarization,
text compaction,
multimodal summarization (including summarization of audio),
use of information extraction,
studies and modeling of human summarizers,
improving summary coherence,
concept fusion,
use of thesauri and ontologies,
trainable summarizers,
applications of machine learning,
knowledge-rich methods.
Summarization Resources:
development of corpora for training and evaluating summarizers,
annotation standards,
shared summarization tools,
document segmentation,
topic detection, and
clustering related to summarization
Evaluation Methods:
intrinsic and extrinsic measures,
on-line and off-line evaluations,
standards for evaluation,
task-based evaluation
scenarios, user studies, inter-judge agreement
Workshop Themes:
1. Multilingual Text Summarization
2. Generation for Summarization
3. Topic Identification for Summarization
4. Multidocument Summarization
5. Evaluation and Test/Training Corpora
6. Integration with web and IR access
II. IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission deadline: February 4, 2000
Notification of acceptance for papers: March 1, 2000
Camera ready papers due: March 13, 2000
Workshop date: April 30, 2000
III. FORMAT FOR SUBMISSION
Submissions must use the ACL latex style
(http://www.isi.edu/~cyl/was-anlp2000/latex/index.html) or Microsoft
Word style WAS-submission.doc (both available from the Automatic
Summarization workshop web page). Paper submissions should consist of
a full paper (5000 words or less, including references). Please send
submission questions to cyl at isi.edu
Submission Procedure:
Electronic submission only: send the pdf (preferred), postscript, or
MS Word form of your submission to: cyl at isi.edu. The Subject line
should be "ANLP-NAACL2000 WORKSHOP PAPER SUBMISSION". Because
reviewing is blind, no author information is included as part of the
paper. An identification page must be sent in a separate email with
the subject line:
"ANLP-NAACL2000 WORKSHOP ID PAGE" and must include title, all authors,
theme area, keywords, word count, and an abstract of no more than 5
lines. Late submissions will not be accepted. Notification of receipt
will be e-mailed to the first author shortly after receipt.
