** 1st Call for Papers**

			International Workshop on
		"Computational Approaches to Collocations"

			   22., 23. July 2002
			    Vienna, Austria




Chair:
     Brigitte Krenn (ÖFAI, Vienna)
Organising Committee:
     Brigitte Krenn (ÖFAI, Vienna),
     Geoffrey Willians (Université de Bretagne Sud, France),
     Ulrich Heid (IMS Stuttgart, Germany)



Workshop description:

"Computational Approaches to Collocations" will be a two day workshop
with paper presentations and special topic sessions.  The scope of the
workshop will cover computational models and strategies for
collocation identification and their use in computational linguistic
applications. For more information see
http://www.ai.univie.ac.at/colloc02/index.html.

The workshop is intended to complement the EURALEX Workshop on
"Lexicographic applications of computational approaches to
collocations: Restricted collocations in dictionaries" chaired by
Geoffrey Williams and Ulrich Heid (see
http://www.cst.dk/elx2002/workshop/index.html).

Papers are invited on all computational aspects of identifying and
processing lexical collocations, including, but not limited to:
statistics-based and hybrid methods on collocation identification, the
development and testing of association measures, the discussion of
significance versus relevance of identification results, the
application of collocations in information extraction, in machine
translation, in the development of lexical resources, in the
evaluation of smoothing methods, etc.
