All those photos were made by the participants of CICLing, http://www.cicling.org. +------------------------------------------------------- | GENERAL INFORMATION +------------------------------------------------------- CICLing-2002 will be held on February 17 to 23, 2002 in Mexico City, Mexico. The deadline for paper submission is October 10, 2001 (short papers: November 5). This conference is the third CICLing event. The past CICLing conferences were very successful, according to the comments of the participants. One of the messages we have received after the 2000 event was the following: "Everything was just great! Super-hyper-ultra-well done!" wrote Igor Mel'cuk, a world-recognized linguist, the author of the Meaning-Text Theory. We consider the following factors to define our identity: General interest. The conference covers nearly all topics related to computational linguistics. This makes it attractive for people from different areas, and leads to vivid and interesting discussions and exchange of opinions. Informal atmosphere. It is intended for a small group of serious specialists, not more than 50 thoroughly selected participants. This allows for informal and friendly atmosphere, more resembling a party of friends than an official procedure. Of course, serious preparation stands behind this ease. Excellent excursions. Mexico is a wonderful country rich with culture, history, and nature. The conference is intended for young and active people - young in their soul, not necessarily age, - explorers in their nature, both in science and in life. Our cultural program brings the participants to unique marvels of history and nature hidden from the usual tourists. Relief of frosts. In the middle of February frosts, the participants from Europe and North America can enjoy bright warm sun under the shadow of palms. The conference is held at the Center for Computer Research (CIC) of the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN), Mexico. The IPN is one of the largest universities in the world with over 120,000 students. The CIC is a relatively new school devoted to the cutting edge research in all areas of science related to computers, both in software and hardware. The conference is organized by the Natural Language Processing laboratory of CIC. +------------------------------------------------------- | Areas of interest +------------------------------------------------------- In general, we are interested in whatever helps, or will help eventually, or might help, computers meaningfully process language data. The conference is intended to the exchange of opinions between the scientists working in different areas of the growing field of computational linguistics and intelligent text processing. Our idea is to get a bird's-eye view of the state of art in computational linguistics and its applications. Areas of interest include, but are not limited by, the following topics, as long as the topic is presented in computer-related or formal description aspects: Computational linguistics research: Computational linguistic theories and formalisms Representation of linguistic knowledge Morphology Syntax Semantics Discourse models Text generation Statistical methods in computational linguistics Corpus linguistics Dictionaries for text processing and generation Intelligent text processing and applications: Document classification and search Information retrieval Text mining and Information extraction Automatic summarization Thematic segmentation of text Spell checking Natural language interfaces In particular, papers on the following narrower themes are especially welcome: HPSG Meaning-Text theory Ambiguity resolution Subcategorization Anaphora resolution Naturally, we welcome the works on processing any language, not necessarily English, though usually major languages are of more general interest. Note: when describing phenomena of languages other than English, please be sure to make your discussion understandable for people not familiar with this particular language. On the other hand, we are not interested in the topics not related to computers processing language. For example, we are not interested in the following types of submissions, which would find much more appreciative audience at some another conf or in an appropriate journal: No: Purely linguistic, dialectological, historic, etc. discussions of particular languages, without relation to their computer processing, e.g.: "Evolution of personal names in classic Latin." No: Purely computer topics not related to meaningful language processing, e.g.: "Unicode character table for Mayan glyphs," or: "Pentium-V processors with 512 MB cache make syntactic analyzers work faster." No: Application of tools traditionally developed within computational linguistics, to non-linguistic-related tasks, e.g.: "Generating of hardware test sequences with stochastic grammars." Note that applications of computer methods to purely linguistic research are not interesting for our conference, e.g., "Statistical clustering methods for the construction of historical tree of world languages". We are interested in how linguistics and computer science can help computers understand or process texts, not in how computers can help linguists investigate languages (unless the aim of such investigation would eventually help computers understand texts). If you are not sure whether your particular topic is of interest, please do not hesitate to ask at gelbukh at cicling.org. You can also have a look at the past CICLing-2001 or CICLing-2000 program to get an idea of our interests. (see www.CICLing.org/2002) +------------------------------------------------------- | Short papers. Poster & Demo section +------------------------------------------------------- Short papers The papers can be submitted either as full papers or as short papers (also to be published in the Proceedings). The authors of short papers will present their works as posters or demos. Whenever possible, a short paper should give references to Internet sites where more detailed info on the work can be found. The authors of some of the rejected full papers will be recommended by the Committee to re-submit their works as short papers. They will be given 5 days to convert their rejected full paper into a short paper. Short papers are also subject to reviewing process. Publication format: All accepted short papers will be published in the Proceedings by Springer-Verlag and thus must be prepared in the required format. In particular, they must look as any normal paper looks (having the title, abstract, and references); however, we recommend that the abstract be short, and it is not necessary (though not prohibited) to divide the text into sections. In all other respects short papers must follow Springer requirements. Short papers are limited by 3 pages. Poster/demo format: Authors of the short papers will present them as posters and/or demos. They will be given approximately 2 square meters of vertical space to attach your material. If you have some special requirements, please let us know. Presentation: The Poster/Demo presentations will be organized during short breaks and after the end of the regular talks, i.e., each day from 18 to 20 pm. On the first working day of the conf, the Poster/Demo session from 18 to 20 pm will be combined with the Welcome party. Registration: There are no special rules for registration of poster presenters. The local students presenting a poster will, according to the general rule, have free access to the conf, while will not be given a copy of the Proceedings unless they pay the registration fee. All other poster presenters will have to register accordingly. Demos During the same poster/demo sessions, all participants will be able to demonstrate the material related to their talks or posters. Demo platforms provided by the organizers: PC with Windows 95/98, CD and floppy drives; no significant space on the disk is guaranteed. Those who need Windows NT on PC, Solaris on Sun, Linux on PC, Mac, etc., should contact the Committee in advance. The same about significant disk space, Internet access, or any special hardware or software requirements. Even if you do not have any special requirements, we encourage you to let us know for how much hours you will probably need a demo computer. +------------------------------------------------------- | Submission guidelines +------------------------------------------------------- Publication All accepted papers and short papers will be published in CICLing-2002 Proceedings volume edited by Springer-Verlag in its Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series. The full papers should not exceed 10 pages, though we encourage you to keep it shorter (as short as possible, but not shorter!). If you really need more pages, please let us know: gelbukh at cicling.org. Short papers should not exceed 3 pages and should, if possible, contain references to Internet sites where more detail on the work can be found. Otherwise the format of the short papers is identical to that of full papers. Format Please strictly follow the format guidelines of Springer LNAI series. We cannot guarantee publication of any paper that does not follow these guidelines. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions at gelbukh at cicling.org. Please consult our website (www.CICLing.org/2002) for more details, or write at gelbukh at cicling.org and we will send you that info in Word or ASCII.

There will be four working days and three days of excursions (so you can arrive on Monday and leave on Friday if you wish.) February 17, Sunday: Excursion to Teotihuacan: ancient Indian pyramids. February 18, Monday: Registration. Talks. Welcome party. February 19, Tuesday: Talks. February 20, Wednesday: Excursion to Angangueo: Monarch Butterfly wintering site and/or to the City Center. February 21, Thursday: Talks and workshops. February 22, Friday: Talks and workshops. Excursion to the Anthropological Museum. February 23, Saturday: Excursion to Cacahuamilpa and Taxco: great cave and colonial city. +------------------------------------------------------- | Cultural Program +------------------------------------------------------- Excursions One of the most exciting things at the conference are excursions to the ancient Indian pyramids and visiting a unique natural phenomenon, the Monarch Butterfly wintering site where you can see millions of beautiful butterflies in the trees and in the air around you. In common opinion of the last year's participants, the excursions were excellent; you can see their own photos at our website. Warning: the excursion to the Butterflies is very long and tiresome, especially for not so young people. We think it is worth the trouble, but you decide. We will try to arrange for an alternative excursion to the city center at the same time as the excursion to the Butterflies. Here is the tentative list of excursions: Excursion to the Anthropological Museum (Mexico City) Excursion to the City Center: (Mexico City) Excursion to Teotihuacan: ancient Indian pyramids, 1 hour drive Excursion to Cacahuamilpa and Taxco: great cave and colonial city, 2 hours drive Excursion to Angangueo: Monarch Butterfly wintering site, 4 hours drive Note for former CICLing participants: We do understand that repeating the same excursions is a bad idea. On the other hand, these are the best of the best ones, and significantly changing the list would not be fair to the new participants. If you have any specific idea what you would like to visit, please let me know and we will try to arrange for this. We are open to any ideas on what excursions would be interested. Please write your ideas to Alexander Gelbukh at gelbukh at cicling.org. Welcome party The reception party will be combined with the opening of the Poster and Demo section. We will have some snack, maybe some wine. No music, no serious food, even no tables, sorry. You will enjoy the informal atmosphere to speak with each other and with the presenters of the posters and demos. You will also have a chance to show and discuss your own programs (for this, please let us know your software and hardware requirements). +------------------------------------------------------- | Conference Committees +------------------------------------------------------- This year, the conference features a very strong international Program Committee. Please read the list: if you are seriously involved in computational linguistics, you will be surprised how many of the names you will find very familiar. Program Committee 1. Barbu, Catalina, UK 2.

First responses have shown that the circular sent out in July needed some clarifications. 1. Please note that, for the application to be valid, you MUST hand in the official application form (available at http://www.jrc.it/default.asp?sIdSz=what_we_offer&sIdStSz=training ). 2. Before applying, please have a close look at the eligibility criteria http://www.jrc.it/what_we_offer/research_fellowships.htm ), in particular the ones regarding nationality and age. 3. For a list of eligible nationalities, see http://www.cordis.lu/fp5/src/ncps.htm . Please note that applications from nationals of the PECO countries (Pre-Accession Countries) are particularly welcome, as are applications from female researchers. 4. For post-doc grants (category 30), it is not necessary to fill in the section 'research objectives and content' in detail. At this stage, two or three lines indicating the general field of interest will be sufficient. ORIGINAL MESSAGE ------------------------------ Readers of this list may be interested in knowing that there is an open call for scientific fellowships at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre in Ispra near the Lago Maggiore in Northern Italy. You will find information on this subject at the site http://www.jrc.it . For fellowships to work specifically on Language Technology (LT) applications, please have a look at the Research Fellowships at ISIS (Institute for Systems, Informatics and Safety; http://webfarm.jrc.cec.eu.int/isis/opportunities/fellowships.asp). The JRC work program sections most concerned with Language Technology applications are I.3.a and I.3.b (Serving the Citizen - Benefiting from the Information Society). For a brief description of our LT work, see below. The team working on LT applications is rather small so that we only anticipate a very limited number of grant assignments in this field. Commencing date is likely to be Spring 2002, but the application has to be handed in by 15 September. Applications for post-doc grants (Ph.D. or equivalent work experience; 3300 - 5000 Euro/month) with a duration of between 6 and 24 months are preferred over applications for post-graduate grants (duration of 6 to 36 months; 2300 - 3500 Euro/month). Current LT activities at the EC's Joint Research Centre We are a small, multi-disciplinary and international team of scientists and developers working on a range of applications with focus on giving cross-language information access to multilingual textual data. Applications of interest are - multilingual retrieval of potentially relevant documents using intelligent agent technology - document analysis, incl. the recognition of the document language, the recognition of named entities, the identification of open class and closed-class keywords, text classification and document similarity calculation - visualisation of the contents of single documents (document profiles) and of whole document collections (document maps) As we are aiming at eventually covering all eleven official EU languages, we concentrate on mainly using statistical methods which can be ported from one language to the other without an enormous amount of manual effort. For questions, you can contact Ralf Steinberger. In case of interest, please send a recent CV describing your experience and interests. ---------------------------------- Dr. Ralf Steinberger (ralf.steinberger at jrc.it) European Commission, Joint Research Centre (http://www.jrc.it) ISIS - RMDS - AIM T.P. 361 I - 21020 Ispra (VA) Tel: + 39 - 0332 78 6271 Fax: + 39 - 0332 78 9098 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffus� par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN-F/ English version : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN/ Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html La liste LN est parrain�e par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adh�sion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at lipn.univ-paris13.fr Thu Sep 6 09:19:13 2001 From: thierry.hamon at lipn.univ-paris13.fr (Thierry Hamon) Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 10:19:13 +0100 Subject: Jobs: ingenieur d'etude France Telecom R&D Message-ID: Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2001 19:32:23 +0200 Message-Id: Appel a candidature pour France Telecom Recherche & Developpement Services Voix-donnees Avancees (SVA) Le Laboratoire Keep it Simple (KIS) recherche un(e) candidat(e) en vue de pourvoir un poste d'Ingenieur charge d'etudes en dialogues vocaux "intelligents" ---------------------------------- RENSEIGNEMENTS COMPLEMENTAIRES: Durant la periode des conges d'ete, les candidatures accompagnees d'une lettre de motivation, d'un CV seront a adresser par mails simultanement a ces adresses: Dominique.dubois at rd.francetelecom.com danielle.larreur at rd.francetelecom.com yvon.guillot at rd.francetelecom.com Personnes a contacter : Yvon GUILLOT Responsable de l'unite de recherche et developpement = 02.96.05.35 36 Michel LEVER Chef du laboratoire Keep It Simple 02.96.05.20 53 Dominique DUBOIS Expert en reconnaissance vocale 02 96 05 31 23 Daniele LARREUR Expert en synthese de parole 02 96 05 20 94 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffus� par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN-F/ English version : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN/ Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html La liste LN est parrain�e par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adh�sion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at lipn.univ-paris13.fr Thu Sep 6 09:19:18 2001 From: thierry.hamon at lipn.univ-paris13.fr (Thierry Hamon) Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 10:19:18 +0100 Subject: Conf: SEMPRO-2001 Message-ID: Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2001 19:34:51 +0200 Message-Id: X-url: http://www.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/~sempro/ X-url: http://www.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/~sempro/program.html X-url: http://www.scot-mur.demon.co.uk/coginfo.htm Call for Participation SEMPRO-2001: COGNITIVELY PLAUSIBLE MODELS OF SEMANTIC PROCESSING (A workshop in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society) July 31st, University of Edinburgh http://www.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/~sempro/ The goal of this workshop is to be a forum and a meeting point for researchers developing models of semantic / pragmatic processing (computational and non-computational) motivated by psychological evidence or corpus studies, with a focus on human language processing.

All those photos were made by the participants of CICLing, http://www.cicling.org. +------------------------------------------------------- | GENERAL INFORMATION +------------------------------------------------------- CICLing-2002 will be held on February 17 to 23, 2002 in Mexico City, Mexico. The deadline for paper submission is October 10, 2001 (short papers: November 5). This conference is the third CICLing event. The past CICLing conferences were very successful, according to the comments of the participants. One of the messages we have received after the 2000 event was the following: "Everything was just great! Super-hyper-ultra-well done!" wrote Igor Mel'cuk, a world-recognized linguist, the author of the Meaning-Text Theory. We consider the following factors to define our identity: General interest. The conference covers nearly all topics related to computational linguistics. This makes it attractive for people from different areas, and leads to vivid and interesting discussions and exchange of opinions. Informal atmosphere. It is intended for a small group of serious specialists, not more than 50 thoroughly selected participants. This allows for informal and friendly atmosphere, more resembling a party of friends than an official procedure. Of course, serious preparation stands behind this ease. Excellent excursions. Mexico is a wonderful country rich with culture, history, and nature. The conference is intended for young and active people - young in their soul, not necessarily age, - explorers in their nature, both in science and in life. Our cultural program brings the participants to unique marvels of history and nature hidden from the usual tourists. Relief of frosts. In the middle of February frosts, the participants from Europe and North America can enjoy bright warm sun under the shadow of palms. The conference is held at the Center for Computer Research (CIC) of the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN), Mexico. The IPN is one of the largest universities in the world with over 120,000 students. The CIC is a relatively new school devoted to the cutting edge research in all areas of science related to computers, both in software and hardware. The conference is organized by the Natural Language Processing laboratory of CIC. +------------------------------------------------------- | Areas of interest +------------------------------------------------------- In general, we are interested in whatever helps, or will help eventually, or might help, computers meaningfully process language data. The conference is intended to the exchange of opinions between the scientists working in different areas of the growing field of computational linguistics and intelligent text processing. Our idea is to get a bird's-eye view of the state of art in computational linguistics and its applications. Areas of interest include, but are not limited by, the following topics, as long as the topic is presented in computer-related or formal description aspects: Computational linguistics research: Computational linguistic theories and formalisms Representation of linguistic knowledge Morphology Syntax Semantics Discourse models Text generation Statistical methods in computational linguistics Corpus linguistics Dictionaries for text processing and generation Intelligent text processing and applications: Document classification and search Information retrieval Text mining and Information extraction Automatic summarization Thematic segmentation of text Spell checking Natural language interfaces In particular, papers on the following narrower themes are especially welcome: HPSG Meaning-Text theory Ambiguity resolution Subcategorization Anaphora resolution Naturally, we welcome the works on processing any language, not necessarily English, though usually major languages are of more general interest. Note: when describing phenomena of languages other than English, please be sure to make your discussion understandable for people not familiar with this particular language. On the other hand, we are not interested in the topics not related to computers processing language. For example, we are not interested in the following types of submissions, which would find much more appreciative audience at some another conf or in an appropriate journal: No: Purely linguistic, dialectological, historic, etc. discussions of particular languages, without relation to their computer processing, e.g.: "Evolution of personal names in classic Latin." No: Purely computer topics not related to meaningful language processing, e.g.: "Unicode character table for Mayan glyphs," or: "Pentium-V processors with 512 MB cache make syntactic analyzers work faster." No: Application of tools traditionally developed within computational linguistics, to non-linguistic-related tasks, e.g.: "Generating of hardware test sequences with stochastic grammars." Note that applications of computer methods to purely linguistic research are not interesting for our conference, e.g., "Statistical clustering methods for the construction of historical tree of world languages". We are interested in how linguistics and computer science can help computers understand or process texts, not in how computers can help linguists investigate languages (unless the aim of such investigation would eventually help computers understand texts). If you are not sure whether your particular topic is of interest, please do not hesitate to ask at gelbukh at cicling.org. You can also have a look at the past CICLing-2001 or CICLing-2000 program to get an idea of our interests. (see www.CICLing.org/2002) +------------------------------------------------------- | Short papers. Poster & Demo section +------------------------------------------------------- Short papers The papers can be submitted either as full papers or as short papers (also to be published in the Proceedings). The authors of short papers will present their works as posters or demos. Whenever possible, a short paper should give references to Internet sites where more detailed info on the work can be found. The authors of some of the rejected full papers will be recommended by the Committee to re-submit their works as short papers. They will be given 5 days to convert their rejected full paper into a short paper. Short papers are also subject to reviewing process. Publication format: All accepted short papers will be published in the Proceedings by Springer-Verlag and thus must be prepared in the required format. In particular, they must look as any normal paper looks (having the title, abstract, and references); however, we recommend that the abstract be short, and it is not necessary (though not prohibited) to divide the text into sections. In all other respects short papers must follow Springer requirements. Short papers are limited by 3 pages. Poster/demo format: Authors of the short papers will present them as posters and/or demos. They will be given approximately 2 square meters of vertical space to attach your material. If you have some special requirements, please let us know. Presentation: The Poster/Demo presentations will be organized during short breaks and after the end of the regular talks, i.e., each day from 18 to 20 pm. On the first working day of the conf, the Poster/Demo session from 18 to 20 pm will be combined with the Welcome party. Registration: There are no special rules for registration of poster presenters. The local students presenting a poster will, according to the general rule, have free access to the conf, while will not be given a copy of the Proceedings unless they pay the registration fee. All other poster presenters will have to register accordingly. Demos During the same poster/demo sessions, all participants will be able to demonstrate the material related to their talks or posters. Demo platforms provided by the organizers: PC with Windows 95/98, CD and floppy drives; no significant space on the disk is guaranteed. Those who need Windows NT on PC, Solaris on Sun, Linux on PC, Mac, etc., should contact the Committee in advance. The same about significant disk space, Internet access, or any special hardware or software requirements. Even if you do not have any special requirements, we encourage you to let us know for how much hours you will probably need a demo computer. +------------------------------------------------------- | Submission guidelines +------------------------------------------------------- Publication All accepted papers and short papers will be published in CICLing-2002 Proceedings volume edited by Springer-Verlag in its Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series. The full papers should not exceed 10 pages, though we encourage you to keep it shorter (as short as possible, but not shorter!). If you really need more pages, please let us know: gelbukh at cicling.org. Short papers should not exceed 3 pages and should, if possible, contain references to Internet sites where more detail on the work can be found. Otherwise the format of the short papers is identical to that of full papers. Format Please strictly follow the format guidelines of Springer LNAI series. We cannot guarantee publication of any paper that does not follow these guidelines. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions at gelbukh at cicling.org. Please consult our website (www.CICLing.org/2002) for more details, or write at gelbukh at cicling.org and we will send you that info in Word or ASCII. Submission We accept only electronic submissions. To submit a paper, send both or any one of the following at submission at cicling.org: PostScript or PDF file.

There will be four working days and three days of excursions (so you can arrive on Monday and leave on Friday if you wish.) February 17, Sunday: Excursion to Teotihuacan: ancient Indian pyramids. February 18, Monday: Registration. Talks. Welcome party. February 19, Tuesday: Talks. February 20, Wednesday: Excursion to Angangueo: Monarch Butterfly wintering site and/or to the City Center. February 21, Thursday: Talks and workshops. February 22, Friday: Talks and workshops. Excursion to the Anthropological Museum. February 23, Saturday: Excursion to Cacahuamilpa and Taxco: great cave and colonial city. +------------------------------------------------------- | Cultural Program +------------------------------------------------------- Excursions One of the most exciting things at the conference are excursions to the ancient Indian pyramids and visiting a unique natural phenomenon, the Monarch Butterfly wintering site where you can see millions of beautiful butterflies in the trees and in the air around you. In common opinion of the last year's participants, the excursions were excellent; you can see their own photos at our website. Warning: the excursion to the Butterflies is very long and tiresome, especially for not so young people. We think it is worth the trouble, but you decide. We will try to arrange for an alternative excursion to the city center at the same time as the excursion to the Butterflies. Here is the tentative list of excursions: Excursion to the Anthropological Museum (Mexico City) Excursion to the City Center: (Mexico City) Excursion to Teotihuacan: ancient Indian pyramids, 1 hour drive Excursion to Cacahuamilpa and Taxco: great cave and colonial city, 2 hours drive Excursion to Angangueo: Monarch Butterfly wintering site, 4 hours drive Note for former CICLing participants: We do understand that repeating the same excursions is a bad idea. On the other hand, these are the best of the best ones, and significantly changing the list would not be fair to the new participants. If you have any specific idea what you would like to visit, please let me know and we will try to arrange for this. We are open to any ideas on what excursions would be interested. Please write your ideas to Alexander Gelbukh at gelbukh at cicling.org. Welcome party The reception party will be combined with the opening of the Poster and Demo section. We will have some snack, maybe some wine. No music, no serious food, even no tables, sorry. You will enjoy the informal atmosphere to speak with each other and with the presenters of the posters and demos. You will also have a chance to show and discuss your own programs (for this, please let us know your software and hardware requirements). +------------------------------------------------------- | Conference Committees +------------------------------------------------------- This year, the conference features a very strong international Program Committee. Please read the list: if you are seriously involved in computational linguistics, you will be surprised how many of the names you will find very familiar. Program Committee 1. Barbu, Catalina, UK 2.

First responses have shown that the circular sent out in July needed some clarifications. 1. Please note that, for the application to be valid, you MUST hand in the official application form (available at http://www.jrc.it/default.asp?sIdSz=what_we_offer&sIdStSz=training ). 2. Before applying, please have a close look at the eligibility criteria http://www.jrc.it/what_we_offer/research_fellowships.htm ), in particular the ones regarding nationality and age. 3. For a list of eligible nationalities, see http://www.cordis.lu/fp5/src/ncps.htm . Please note that applications from nationals of the PECO countries (Pre-Accession Countries) are particularly welcome, as are applications from female researchers. 4. For post-doc grants (category 30), it is not necessary to fill in the section 'research objectives and content' in detail. At this stage, two or three lines indicating the general field of interest will be sufficient. ORIGINAL MESSAGE ------------------------------ Readers of this list may be interested in knowing that there is an open call for scientific fellowships at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre in Ispra near the Lago Maggiore in Northern Italy. You will find information on this subject at the site http://www.jrc.it . For fellowships to work specifically on Language Technology (LT) applications, please have a look at the Research Fellowships at ISIS (Institute for Systems, Informatics and Safety; http://webfarm.jrc.cec.eu.int/isis/opportunities/fellowships.asp). The JRC work program sections most concerned with Language Technology applications are I.3.a and I.3.b (Serving the Citizen - Benefiting from the Information Society). For a brief description of our LT work, see below. The team working on LT applications is rather small so that we only anticipate a very limited number of grant assignments in this field. Commencing date is likely to be Spring 2002, but the application has to be handed in by 15 September. Applications for post-doc grants (Ph.D. or equivalent work experience; 3300 - 5000 Euro/month) with a duration of between 6 and 24 months are preferred over applications for post-graduate grants (duration of 6 to 36 months; 2300 - 3500 Euro/month). Current LT activities at the EC's Joint Research Centre We are a small, multi-disciplinary and international team of scientists and developers working on a range of applications with focus on giving cross-language information access to multilingual textual data. Applications of interest are - multilingual retrieval of potentially relevant documents using intelligent agent technology - document analysis, incl. the recognition of the document language, the recognition of named entities, the identification of open class and closed-class keywords, text classification and document similarity calculation - visualisation of the contents of single documents (document profiles) and of whole document collections (document maps) As we are aiming at eventually covering all eleven official EU languages, we concentrate on mainly using statistical methods which can be ported from one language to the other without an enormous amount of manual effort. For questions, you can contact Ralf Steinberger. In case of interest, please send a recent CV describing your experience and interests. ---------------------------------- Dr. Ralf Steinberger (ralf.steinberger at jrc.it) European Commission, Joint Research Centre (http://www.jrc.it) ISIS - RMDS - AIM T.P. 361 I - 21020 Ispra (VA) Tel: + 39 - 0332 78 6271 Fax: + 39 - 0332 78 9098 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffus? par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN-F/ English version : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN/ Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html La liste LN est parrain?e par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adh?sion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at lipn.univ-paris13.fr Thu Sep 6 09:19:13 2001 From: thierry.hamon at lipn.univ-paris13.fr (Thierry Hamon) Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 10:19:13 +0100 Subject: Jobs: ingenieur d'etude France Telecom R&D Message-ID: Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2001 19:32:23 +0200 Message-Id: Appel a candidature pour France Telecom Recherche & Developpement Services Voix-donnees Avancees (SVA) Le Laboratoire Keep it Simple (KIS) recherche un(e) candidat(e) en vue de pourvoir un poste d'Ingenieur charge d'etudes en dialogues vocaux "intelligents" ---------------------------------- RENSEIGNEMENTS COMPLEMENTAIRES: Durant la periode des conges d'ete, les candidatures accompagnees d'une lettre de motivation, d'un CV seront a adresser par mails simultanement a ces adresses: Dominique.dubois at rd.francetelecom.com danielle.larreur at rd.francetelecom.com yvon.guillot at rd.francetelecom.com Personnes a contacter : Yvon GUILLOT Responsable de l'unite de recherche et developpement = 02.96.05.35 36 Michel LEVER Chef du laboratoire Keep It Simple 02.96.05.20 53 Dominique DUBOIS Expert en reconnaissance vocale 02 96 05 31 23 Daniele LARREUR Expert en synthese de parole 02 96 05 20 94 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message diffus? par la liste Langage Naturel Informations, abonnement : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN-F/ English version : http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/LN/LN/ Archives : http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/ln.html La liste LN est parrain?e par l'ATALA (Association pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues) Information et adh?sion : http://www.atala.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From thierry.hamon at lipn.univ-paris13.fr Thu Sep 6 09:19:18 2001 From: thierry.hamon at lipn.univ-paris13.fr (Thierry Hamon) Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 10:19:18 +0100 Subject: Conf: SEMPRO-2001 Message-ID: Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2001 19:34:51 +0200 Message-Id: X-url: http://www.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/~sempro/ X-url: http://www.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/~sempro/program.html X-url: http://www.scot-mur.demon.co.uk/coginfo.htm Call for Participation SEMPRO-2001: COGNITIVELY PLAUSIBLE MODELS OF SEMANTIC PROCESSING (A workshop in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society) July 31st, University of Edinburgh http://www.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/~sempro/ The goal of this workshop is to be a forum and a meeting point for researchers developing models of semantic / pragmatic processing (computational and non-computational) motivated by psychological evidence or corpus studies, with a focus on human language processing. This year's workshop will feature papers on: - incrementality and underspecification in semantic processing - lexical access and disambiguation - anaphora resolution - scope assignment We would especially like to encourage the exchange of results between psychological experimentation, computational modelling, and corpus-based work.
