Attached is the final call-for-paper, with a new deadline, for
a special issue of Information Processing & Management. The change
is in response to a number of requests for such an extension.
Those people who have submitted an article are welcome to submit
a revised one if necessary.

Call for Articles (revised)
Special Issue of Information Processing & Management
on
Information Retrieval with Asian Languages
Interest is growing in effective and efficient retrieval of relevant
information from large unstructured databases. Research in
information retrieval (IR) has expanded its scope widely with advances
in related areas such as natural language processing, machine
learning, and human-computer interactions. Especially with the
explosion of information in the World Wide Web, the need for
information retrieval and related functions has become ubiquitos
regardless of languages and cultures. This special issue of
Information Processing & Management, an international journal with a
strong emphasis on information retrieval, will be devoted to research
and development in information retrieval with Asian languages.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- retrieval or routing of texts at variouls levels of granularity
- cross-language text retrieval
- automated text categorization
- infomation extraction and filtering
- automatic text summarization (including automatic abstracting)
- use of machine readable dictionaries and/or thesauri
- language- or task-specific user interfaces for IR-related systems
- various natural language processing techqniques for IR-related tasks
Interested authors should submit five copies of their articles by
January 31, 1998, to:
Prof. Sung H. Myaeng
Dept. of Computer Science
Chungnam National University
Yusong-ku, Taejon 305-764

- The tentative publication date is October, 1998.
- Only papers not publiched elsewhere will be considered for
publication. However papers already presented at a conference or
workshop are acceptable only if they are additionally updated,
revised, or enlarged.
- Length: The final article should be about 8-10 typeset pages
(approximately 20-25 typed, double-spaced, pages).
- Format: Double-spaced pages preferred, but the typeset style is
acceptable.

Subject: CFP Coling-98 Workshop on Computational Treatment of Nominals
COLING-ACL'98 WORKSHOP
"The Computational Treatment of Nominals"
August 16, 1998
Universite de Montreal
Montreal, Canada
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers who are interested
in the study of the computational properties of nominals and noun
phrases. The focus is on representational questions as they relate
directly to NLP requirements and applications.
Understanding the properties of the nominal system is extremely
important since nouns and nominalizations are used extensively by both
people and systems: searching and communicating with either a
telegraphic or a more expressive language involves heavy use of
nominal forms. A number of NLP applications, ranging from
"intelligent" key-word search to text summarization and information
extraction, among others, not only require some way of recognizing
nominal forms, but also require a shallow understanding of the
semantic information that nouns carry. It is therefore of great
interest to consider what impact representing semantic knowledge at a
finer level of granularity would have towards enhancing a system's
performance.
Submissions are invited on one or more of the following topics:
- Representation of nominals:
* design of noun ontologies for use in lexical semantics and machine
translation
* ambiguity, polysemy, vagueness, and underspecification in the
semantics of nominals
* identifying the minimal requirements for lexical representations
- Representational issues in the acquisition of knowledge:
* from corpora
* from MRDs
* syntactic and morphological bootstrapping
* semantic boostrapping (role of prepositions, arguments, etc.)
- Role of representations for the interpretation of nominals:
* techniques for recovering implicit information in nominals
* interpretation and generation of nominals in descriptions of events
and abstract objects in discourse
* recovering implicit semantic relations in nominal compounds
* defining implicit semantic relations between nominalizations and the
forms they are derived from
