***********************************************************
2002 Conference on Empirical Methods
in Natural Language Processing
(EMNLP 2002)
Preliminary Call for Papers
SIGDAT, the Association for Computational Linguistics' special
interest group on linguistic data and corpus-based approaches to NLP,
invites submissions to EMNLP 2002. The conference will be held at
University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA on July 6-7,
immediately preceding the anniversary 40th meeting of the ACL (ACL
2002).
We are interested in papers from academia, government, and industry on
all areas of traditional interest to the SIGDAT community and aligned
fields, including but not limited to:
- information extraction
- information retrieval
- language and dialog modeling
- lexical acquisition
- machine translation
- multilingual technologies
- question answering
- statistical parsing
- summarization
- tagging
- term and named entity extraction
- word sense disambiguation
- word, term, and text segmentation
- general NLP-related machine learning techniques:
theory, methods and algorithms
(incl. text mining, smoothing, etc.)
As a follow-up to last year's focus on analyzing the current
"Successes and Challenges" in the corpus-based methods, we encourage
submissions on the theme
"The Next Big Thing in Data-driven NLP"
We solicit papers that describe attempts to substantially and
radically deviate from current practice of simple adaptations of
existing and usually well-studied methods. All directions of a venture
to a territory previously unknown (or once abandoned for one reason or
another) to NLP are welcome, such as but not limited to
- using Really Large Corpora (cf. last year's Brill's talk);
- using previously neglected methods, including those from
non-NLP fields, such as biology, nuclear physics, or
finance, with promising results and/or reasonable potential
for the future;
- employing known methods in a radically different way or on
problems they were not tried upon previously, with truly
significant improvement;
- combining intuition-based and data-based methods
(finally!) with substantially improved results on known
problems.
We stress though that such papers, however radical their content might
be, stick to the usual practice of documenting the results using
standard experimental and evaluation practice. That does not exclude
that authors provide extended final section in their submissions,
discussing perhaps even slightly speculatively what the future might
look like.
Submissions:
Submissions should take the form of full papers (3200 words or less,
excluding references) describing original, unpublished work. Papers
being submitted to other meetings must provide this information on the
title page.
More info will be coming soon; see also last year EMNLP's
website at http://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/llee/emnlp.html
Important Dates:
Submission deadline: April 4, 2002
Acceptance notification: May 8, 2002
Camera-ready copy due: June 6, 2002
Conference: July 6-7, 2002

Republic (hajic at ufal.mff.cuni.cz)

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
AiML 2002
Advances in Modal Logic
September 30 - October 2, 2002, Toulouse
DEADLINE: May 15, 2002
Advances in Modal Logic is an initiative aimed at presenting an
up-to-date picture of the state of the art in modal logic and its many
applications. The initiative consists of a conference series together
with volumes based on the conferences.
AiML 2002 is the fourth conference organized as part of this
initiative. It will be held September 30 - October 2, 2002 in
Toulouse, France.
TOPICS
Topics of interest include:
o complexity and decidability of modal and temporal logics,
o deontic logic,
o description logics,
o dynamic logic,
o epistemic logic,
o modal logics of space,
o modal logic and game theory,
o modal logic and grammar formalisms,
o modal realism and anti-realism,
o modal and temporal logic programming and theorem proving,
o model theory and proof theory of modal and temporal logic,
o representation of time in natural language semantics,
o non-monotonic modal logics,
o provability logic,
o common-sense temporal reasoning.
Papers on related subjects will also be considered.
SPECIAL SESSION
During the workshop there will be a special session on modal logics of
space.
INVITED SPEAKERS
Invited speakers include:
o M. Fitting (USA)
o R. Goldblatt (New Zealand)
o I. Hodkinson (UK)
o C. Lutz (Germany)
o H. Ono (Japan)
o P. Schnoebelen (France)
PAPER SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit a detailed abstract of a full paper of
at most 10 pages (a4paper, 11pt) by e-mail to one of the programme
chairs, using `AiML Submission' as the subject line. The cover page
should include title, names of authors, the coordinates of the
corresponding author, and some keywords describing the topic of the
paper. To be considered, submissions must be received no later than
May 15, 2002.
Note that at least one author of each accepted paper is required to
register for and attend the conference to present the paper.
PUBLICATION DETAILS
Preliminary versions of the full papers should be made available at
the workshop; the proceedings volumes will be submitted to CSLI
Publications. Notification date for the conference is July 15, 2002;
for the volumes it is December 1, 2002.
