The Laboratoire Lorrain de Recherche en Informatique et ses Applications
LORIA in Nancy,  France,  will host the  7th International  Workshop
on Parsing Technologies (IWPT'03) from 23 to 25 April, 2003.

IWPT'03  continues  the  tradition  of  biennial  workshops  on  parsing
technology organised by SIGPARSE,  the Special Interest Group on Parsing
of the  Association for Computational Linguistics  (ACL).  This workshop
series was initiated  by Masaru Tomita in 1989.   The first workshop, in
Pittsburgh  and  Hidden Valley,  was  followed  by  workshops in  Cancun
(Mexico) in  1991; Tilburg (Netherlands)  and Durbuy (Belgium)  in 1993;
Prague  and  Karlovy Vary  (Czech  Republic)  in 1995;  Boston/Cambridge
(Massachusetts) in 1997; Trento (Italy) in 2000,  and Beijing (China) in
2001.

The hosting organisation  for IWPT'03,  LORIA  (Lorraine  Laboratory for
Research  in Information Technology  and  its Applications),  is a joint
research unit of the following organisations:
- the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS),
- the National Polytechnical Institute of Lorraine (INPL),
- the National  Institute  for  Research  in  Information Technology and
  Automation (INRIA),
- the Henri Poincare' University, Nancy 1,
- the University of Nancy 2.


Topics of interest for IWPT'03
--------------------------------

Topics  of  interest  for  IWPT'03  include, but  are  not  limited  to:
theoretical  and practical  studies  of parsing  algorithms for  natural
language sentences,  texts, fragments, dialogues,  ill-formed sentences,
speech input, multi-dimensional  (pictorial) languages, multimedia (web)
documents,  and  parsing  issues  arising  or  viewed  in  a  multimodal
context. Both knowledge-based and statistical approaches are welcome.


Submitting Papers
-----------------

Two types of submissions are invited:

- full papers,  to be presented  as such during  the workshop and  to be
  published in  the workshop proceedings  (maximally 12 pages);
