Scope of the Conference

NLPRS has contributed to the promotion and circulation of both
research efforts and application development in Natural Language
Processing related fields, and has been held every other year in the
past. Papers are invited on substantial, original, and unpublished
research on all aspects of natural language processing related areas,
including, but not limited to: pragmatics, discourse, semantics,
syntax, morphology and lexical acquisition; knowledge acquisition
(especially via unsupervised learning); corpus analysis; statistical
language modeling; spoken and written language analysis and
generation; machine translation and translation aids;
language-oriented information retrieval and information extraction;
text mining; approaches to coordinating the linguistic in multi-modal
interaction; reading comprehension; natural language interfaces and
dialogue systems; message and narrative understanding systems;
Internet applications; tools and resources; and evaluation of systems.

Both Regular Papers and Project Notes are welcome.

 =========================================================================
Requirements

Papers should emphasize original and completed work rather than
intended work. Why the proposed approaches are adopted is more
important than the description of what has been done. Whenever
possible, statistically significant test should be conducted and
concrete evaluation results should be included. A paper accepted for
presentation at NLPRS 2001 cannot be presented or have been presented
at any other meeting with publicly available published
proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences must
be indicated clearly in the title page.

 =========================================================================
Reviewing

The reviewing of the papers will be blind. Reviewing will be managed by
an international Conference Program Committee. Each submission will be
reviewed by three reviewers.

 =========================================================================
Submission Procedure

You are requested to first register your submission by July 10, 2001.
This can be done by filling out an electronic form that will be
accessible at the Paper Submission Web at:

	http://nlp.csie.ncnu.edu.tw/~shin/NLPRS/

You will get a paper ID code, after you have completed
the Paper Registration procedure. (See "Paper Registration" below.)
The assigned paper ID code must appear on your submission,
and it will be used in all the following communications.

Although electronic submission is strongly recommended,
hardcopy submission is also accepted. However, if electronic submission
is selected, the file format must be readily browsable and printable
in PS (PostScript) or PDF format.

Submission Details --

 =========================================================================
Category of Submission (*NEW)

The submission can be a Regular Paper or a Project Notes depending
on the nature of the paper. Regular paper authors can choose to
present their papers in oral or poster. And, Project Notes may
be accompanied with or without a demo.

The authors should indicate the preferred category in the title page
(after the paper ID) as either "regular/oral", "regular/poster",
"project notes/with demo", or "project notes/without demo".
The Program Committee, however, have the rights to re-assign
the category of the submission.

 =========================================================================
Format and Style

The length of a regular paper should be limited to 8 double-column
pages of A4 size, including the bibliography part. A project notes,
on the other hand, should not exceed 6 pages. The point size
of the characters should not be smaller than 10 point size to
make the paper easily readable.

To allow blind review, the submission for review should include
the title of the paper, a unique paper ID assigned by the program
committee (*See "Paper Registration" below), a 150-word abstract,
and up to 5 keywords. This means that your submission should have
the following layout on the first/title page:

	Title: This is My Submission to NLPRS-2001
	PaperID: 0123 (unique paper ID acquired when registration)
	Category: regular/oral (or "regular/poster",
		  "project notes/with demo", "project notes/without demo")
	Keywords: Lexicon Acquisition, ... (at most 5 keywords)
	Submitted to Other Conferences: NO (or YES)
	Abstract: ... (less than 150 words)

Explicit or implicit author identification information (such as author names,
email addresses) should not appear in the title page.
Papers which do not conform to the above format or the scope of
the conference is subject to rejection without notice.

After the submission is accepted, the authors should submit
a camera-ready copy of the paper by replacing the unique paper ID
with the name and affiliation of each author, and e-mail address of
the author responsible for correspondence.

A style sheet (in both Microsoft Word and LaTeX template files) is
available at the following URL:

   http://www.r.dl.itc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/NLPRS2001.html

However, the submission must be converted into PS (PostScript) or PDF
format before electronic submission.

 =========================================================================
Paper Registration

The authors should register the papers in advance in order
to get a unique paper ID for each paper, and use the unique ID
for author identification throughout the reviewing process.
The authors are also requested to fill a form for each submission,
indicating the subcategorization of each paper.

The registration and submission procedure is outlined as follows:

1. AUTHOR IDENTIFICATION: The first author (or any responsible author)
   should visit the web page at:

	http://nlp.csie.ncnu.edu.tw/~shin/NLPRS/

   to register a username and password for author identification.
   An email address should be given for confirmation.

2. PAPER REGISTRATION: The author then uses this username and password
   to enter the paper registration pages of the above website.
   In the registration pages, the author will be asked to fill a form
   for each paper, indicating the title of the paper, and the contact
   information of the authors. The paper will then be given a unique
   paper ID for the registered paper. You can register more than one paper
   and get the associated paper IDs, one for each paper.

   PAPER CHARACTERIZATION: The author will also be requested to fill
   a form indicating the characteristics of the paper. Such information will
   be used for matching the papers with the reviewers to ensure
   that your submissions are reviewed by the most appropriate
   reviewers.

3. Once you have registered the paper for submission and got the
   unique paper ID, you can use the paper ID together with the
   paper title to submit your paper. (Any other author identification
   information, explicit or implicit, should be suppressed for
   blind review.)

   This means that your submission should have the following layout
   on the first/title page:

	Title: This is My Submission to NLPRS-2001
	PaperID: 0123 (unique paper ID acquired when registration)
	Category: regular/oral (or "regular/poster",
		  "project notes/with demo", "project notes/without demo")
	Keywords: Lexicon Acquisition, ... (at most 5 keywords)
	Submitted to Other Conferences: NO (or YES)
	Abstract: ... (less than 150 words)

   Explicit or implicit author identification information (such as author names,
   email addresses) should not appear in the title page.
   Papers which do not conform to the above format or the scope of
   the conference is subject to rejection without notice.


   To submit the paper electronically, you can visit the above
   website, and click the paper submission link to launch a paper
   submission/upload page. You then provide the paper ID
   and the local filename of your submission,
   and press the "Submit" button to upload your paper.

4. Upon notification of acceptance, you can use the same step
   to submit your camera-ready copy of the paper, with all
   author information replacing the paper ID.

 =========================================================================
Electronic Submission

If you choose to submit electronically. The papers should be
submitted in PostScript or PDF format to ensure that the non-ASCII
characters (such as Asian CJK characters) can be safely printed by the
reviewers in different countries.

Word processor (such as Microsoft Word) or LaTeX source files will
not be accepted.

To ensure portability of the files, use TrueType 1 fonts wherever
possible. Do not use bitmapped versions of fonts such as Computer
Modern if you can avoid it. Some printer drivers have settings that
directly address the portability issue, offering the options
for "optimizing speed" or "optimizing portability".
You should select the "optimize for portability" setting(s)
wherever possible.

 =========================================================================
Hardcopy Submission

If you choose to submit hardcopies to the program committee,
you should send 5 copies of each papers to the following
address:

	Dr. Keh-Yih Su (NLPRS-2001)
	Behavior Design Corporation
	2F, No. 5, Industrial East Road IV
	Science-Based Industrial Park
	Hsinchu, TAIWAN 30043
	ROC.

The paper should be formatted as demonstrated in the style sheet
files. And, the paper size should be A4, unless you have problems
in preparing the A4 copies.

                          COLING-2002

  19th International Conference on Computational Linguistics

                  August 24 -- September 1, 2002

             Howard International House, Taipei, Taiwan

================================================================
Organized by:

       Academia Sinica, ACLCLP and National Tsing Hua University

Under the Auspices of:

       The International Committee on Computational Linguistics

       http://www.coling2002.sinica.edu.tw/

Call for Papers (No.1. May-30-01)

COLING is the most prominent conference in the field of
Computational Linguistics. In its 40 plus years of existence,
the biennial COLING has been a productive forum for scholars
all over the world to exchange original research papers on
a broad range of topics in computational linguistics. COLING
is an international forum for discussion and presentation
representing the current state of the art and determining
standards of computational linguistics research.

In 2002, Taiwan will host the 19th COLING conference. This
will be the first time that COLING is held outside Europe,
North America, or Japan. It will be a chance for participants
to experience the energy behind Taiwan's vibrant growth in
knowledge technology, as well as the natural beauty of Formosa
and its rich cultural heritage.

Submitted papers should describe original work, completed or
in progress, rather than merely planned, and clearly indicate
the current state of advancement of the work. No previously
published papers should be submitted. Simultaneous submission
to other conferences is allowed provided it is explicitly
indicated on the identification page.

In line with the practice established in previous COLING
conferences, authors will be asked to place their submission
in one of two categories:

1. Regular papers, of not more than seven pages, presenting
   results of original complete research, and
2. Project notes, of five pages or less, describing ongoing
   research or demonstrating a system.

Method of Submission:

o Complete a Paper Submission Form
  http://www.ikp.uni-bonn.de/coling2002/psf.html
  This form may be updated up to the deadline for paper submissions
  (February 15, 2002).
