UM 2001
8th International Conference on User Modeling
July 13 to July 17, 2001
AlpenCongressCentrum in Sonthofen, Bavaria, Germany
http://www.dfki.de/um2001
The field of user modeling (UM) has resulted in significant
amounts of theoretical work, as well as practical experience, in
developing UM-based applications in traditional areas of human-
computer interaction and tutoring systems. Further, it promises
to have an enormous impact on recent developments in areas like
information filtering, e-commerce, adaptive presentation
techniques, and interface agents.
This year's conference will include
- a series of 7 workshops with topics ranging from basic
research areas like machine learning to established applications
like adaptive hypermedia and more futuristic issues like
personalized TV;
- 3 tutorials from acknowledged researchers on intelligent user
interfaces, Web-based education systems, and personalization
in e-commerce;
- a panel with representatives from industry discussing various
aspects of personalization in "real-world" applications;
- 3 invited talks with well-known researchers (and practitioners)
presenting their point of view on privacy (Alfred Kobsa),
recommender systems (Joseph A. Konstan), and eye tracking
(Sandra Marshall);
- two and a half days of technical presentations with papers,
posters, system demonstrations, and a doctoral consortium in
which students can discuss their ideas with experienced
researchers in the field.
Conference Site
The AlpenCongressCentrum is part of the AllgaeuStern Hotel,
located in Sonthofen, the southernmost city of Germany in the
Bavarian Alpes. More information is available on line at:

MT 2010 -- Towards a Road Map for MT
September 18, 2001
Workshop organised by ELSNET
and hosted by MT Summit VIII
Santiago de Compostela, Spain
September 18-22 2001
Aim and context:
The aim of the workshop is to contribute to ELSNET's ongoing action to
establish a road map for MT for the next decade. A road map comprises
an analysis of the present situation, a vision of where we want to be
in ten years from now, and a number of intermediate milestones that
would help in setting intermediate goals and in measuring our progress
towards our goals. The function of the road map is not to impose
anything on anyone, but rather to provide a broadly supported
definition of a context in which to position the MT community's
efforts, which would allow us to identify common priorities for joint
activities in e.g. research, resources and training.
Scope:
Papers are invited that
* give critical analyses of the present state of the art in machine
translation of written and spoken language,
* present visions of the future of machine translation, both from a
technological and from an application point of view, or
* identify major milestones and challenges on our way towards the
future, and/or ways to measure our progress along the road.
Format:
It will be a half- or full-day workshop, with three sessions:
* The first session will aim at giving a critical analysis of the
present situation.
* The second session will be dedicated to visions of the future.
* The third session will aim at establishing intermediate milestones
(e.g. timelines, necessary research achievements), methods to
evaluate progress along the road, and training requirements to be
met in order to reach our goals.
Audience:
The primary audience consists of people with an analytical or future
oriented, programmatic interest, both from research and from industry.
Workshop schedule:
* 13 May 2001: Submission deadline
* 31 May 2001: Notification of acceptance
* 15 July: Submission of final versions
Submission details:
Papers should be sent in electronic form to steven.krauwer at elsnet.org.
For the submission format we follow the same guidelines as the main
conference: http://www.eamt.org/summitVIII/author.html
