2nd SIGdial Workshop on Discourse and Dialogue
Aalborg, Denmark, September 1-2
(Just before Eurospeech 2001-Scandinavia)
DESCRIPTION
Following up on the successful 1st Workshop in Hong Kong in October 2000,
this will be the next in a series of workshops spanning the ACL and ISCA
SIGdial interest area of discourse and dialogue. While there has been a
lot of activity in this area, and fairly frequent "specialty" workshops on
various sub-topics, until this series there has not been a regular place
for such research to be presented in a forum to receive attention from the
larger SIGdial community and researchers outside this community. The
workshop is organised by SIGdial which is a joint ACL and ISCA SIG. The
workshop is sponsored by ISCA and ACL.
REGISTRATION (**EARLY REGISTRATION BY 25 JULY 2001**)
