The 5th Midwest Computational Linguistics Colloquium
----------------------------------------------------
http://www.cse.msu.edu/mclc


The fifth meeting of the Midwest Computational Linguistics Colloquium 
(MCLC) is hosted by the Departments of Computer Science and Linguistics 
at Michigan State University. This colloquium offers a less formal forum 
for computational linguistics researchers to get together and present 
ideas and recent research results. It is intended to be primarily for 
researchers from the Midwest region, but applications from all regions 
are welcome. All topics within computational linguistics are 
appropriate, including theoretical as well as applied work of any sort.
