SECOND CALL FOR SUBMISSION
deadline : March 1st
MTT 2003
First International Conference on Meaning-Text Theory
Paris, Ecole Normale Superieure
16-18 June 2003
Web site : http://mtt2003.linguist.jussieu.fr
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Goals
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Meaning-text Theory (MTT), which grew out of work on machine
translation in the USSR 40 years ago, is characterized by:
1. the Modeling of language as a correspondence between meaning and
texts/sounds;
2. the central position of the lexicon;
3. the privileged position of semantics over syntax;
4. and the use of a dependency representation in syntax.
This conference has two goals: researchers working in the MTT
framework will report on their research, and researchers in other
frameworks are invited to compare their work to MTT.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Invited Speakers
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Jurij Apresjan Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russian Federation
Richard Hudson University College London, UK
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Expected Submissions
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions related to all aspects of MTT are solicited, be they
theoretical, descriptive, or computational.
The conference is also open to MTT-based work in fields related to
linguistics, such as natural language processing, second language
teaching, or psycholinguistics.
Submissions detailing work in other frameworks are also solicited, as
long as the framework shares with MTT fundamental principles, such as
dependency syntax, the decomposition of lexical meaning, the modeling
of collocations, the stratification of the linguistic model, or the
use of correspondence rules between different levels of
representation.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission Format
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions can be in French or in English. They should be at most 10
pages (including all figures, data, notes, and bibliography) using a
12 point font, printed in one column. Style files for Word and LaTeX
will be available on the web site.
Submissions should be sent as PDF or postscript file to:
mtt2003.submit at linguist.jussieu.fr
For any questions, please email mtt2003 at linguist.jussieu.fr

Subject: Text Summarization & Document Understanding, Canada
HLT-NAACL Text Summarization Workshop
and
Document Understanding Conference (DUC 2003)
May 31 and June 1, 2003
Edmonton, AB, Canada
http://www.umich.edu/cl/hlt-naacl-duc03/
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION
February 28, 2003 (but see below)
MOTIVATION
A series of highly successful summarization meetings have been held
over the last few years in a number of locations: Dagstuhl 1994,
Madrid 1997, Stanford 1998, Seattle 2000, Pittsburgh 2001, New Orleans
2001 (DUC 2001), and Philadelphia 2002 (jointly with DUC 2002). The
goal of the 2003 meeting is to provide a venue where new results
can be discussed, including results from DUC 2003.
Over the last three years, DUC (Document Understanding Conference,
http://duc.nist.gov/) has been the main evaluation forum for research
in text summarization. Sixteen sites participated in the most recent
installment of the evaluation, with results presented at a joint
workshop following the Philadelphia ACL meeting.
The proposed workshop will include papers on all aspects of
text summarization, including but not limited to the following:
non-extractive summarization, spoken language (including dialogue)
summarization, language modeling for text and speech summarization,
multi-document and multilingual summarization, integration of
question answering and text summarization, Web-based summarization,
evaluation of summarization systems, etc.
The second day of the workshop will be devoted to discussion of
the results from DUC 2003. The DUC schedule calls for results
to be submitted by mid-February.
FORMAT OF THE JOINT MEETING
The suggested format for the meeting is quite similar to last year's
workshop in Philadelphia
(http://www-nlpir.nist.gov/projects/duc/duc2002/Acl02SummarizationWorkshop.html
).
Two tracks will be included in the program:
T1. Regular summarization papers (submission open to the general
public), published by ACL
T2. (draft) DUC notebook papers (submission limited to DUC
participants, attendance is open), published by NIST
Some important dates (tentative):
Track T1:
- February 28, 2003 - submissions due
- March 19, 2003 - authors notified
- April 1, 2003 - camera-ready papers due
Track T2:
- May 5, 2003 - notebook papers due at NIST
The main HLT-NAACL conference will be held May 28-30. The proposed
dates for the DUC workshop are Saturday, May 30 and Sunday, June 1,
2003. The exact schedule of the workshop will be determined later,
based on the number of submissions to the two tracks.
