NEW JOURNAL
A L S I C
Apprentissage des Langues et Systemes
d'Information et de Communication
http://alsic.univ-fcomte.fr
(language learning and information and communication systems)
a French speaking electronic journal for researchers and
practitioners.
First issue due in 1998.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1. AIMS
The journal will aim at presenting and exchanging theoretical
an practical work in fields related to its domain (didactics, applied
linguistics, psycholinguistics, educational sciences, computational
linguistics, computer science, etc.). It will be published on Internet
only.
It will first present research articles (selected according to
standard academic procedures) as well as papers with a practical point
of view (selected with different criteria). It will give priority to
papers from the French speaking community and/or in French, but it
will also regularly invite papers from authors usually publishing in
other languages so as to strengthen scientific and technical exchanges
between linguistic communities that too often remain apart. In the
same way, it will welcome those working in non-academic surroundings
or in continuing education.
The journal will provide opportunities to establish
connections between a variety of educational and professional sectors
over the boundaries created by each profession or type of institution.
It will also open up new perspectives by confronting research and
practice and in particular help define privileged experimental
situations.

COLING-ACL '98
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
17th International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING'98)
and
36th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
(ACL'98)
August 10-14, 1998
Universite de Montreal
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
http://coling-acl98.iro.umontreal.ca
On behalf of the International Committee on Computational Linguistics
(ICCL) and the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), we are
pleased to announce a major joint conference -- COLING-ACL'98 -- which
will be held on the campus of l'Universite de Montreal between August
10-14, 1998. The RALI laboratory of the Computer Science and
Operations Research Department of l'Universite de Montreal will be
hosting the first North American COLING since the joint COLING-ACL'84
was held at Stanford University in 1984.
We welcome submission of papers describing substantial, original, and
unpublished research contributions on ALL aspects of computational
linguistics. Program subcommittees will be organized around 16 main
areas, as follows.
* [L] Linguistic issues & associated formalisms
o L1. Morphology & phonology
o L2. Syntax & parsing
o L3. Semantics, pragmatics, cognition
o L4. Discourse & dialogue
* [R] Linguistic resources & computational methods
o R1. Corpus processing & empirical methods
o R2. Lexical resources & computational lexicography
o R3. Computational paradigms (symbolic, stochastic, neural,
hybrid)
o R4. Languages, tools & environments for lingware development
* [A] Applications
o A1. Form checking (spelling, terminology, grammar, style)
o A2. Summarization, abstraction, generation
o A3. Text and speech machine translation & translation aids
o A4. Multimodal NLP (speech & dialogue processing,
integration of speech, text, gestures)
o A5. Text and speech information retrieval and
categorization, electronic libraries
* [P] Projects
o P1. Large R&D cooperative projects
o P2. Validation & testing programmes
o P3. Small scale innovative research projects
o P4. Others (contributions not falling in above categories)
Authors will be asked to identify the areas (a maximum of two) to
which their submission corresponds. Contributions that do not fall
into any of the above areas but are nevertheless relevant to the field
are also welcome. All contributions will be reviewed by at least three
experts.
Submissions may be of two different types: 1) regular papers; and 2)
project notes. Regular papers should report the results of original
completed research. Project notes, on the other hand, should describe
ongoing research or demonstrate a system. Regular papers will be
presented in 3 parallel sessions that do not overlap with the
presentation of project notes.
LANGUAGES
In order to encourage multilingualism within our research community,
authors will be allowed to use one supplementary page to write up
their abstract in one or more additional languages.
REQUIREMENTS
All papers should describe original work, completed or in progress
rather than merely planned, and clearly indicate the current state of
advancement of the work. No previously published papers should be
submitted. Simultaneous submission to other conferences is allowed
provided it is explicitly indicated on the identification page.
FORMAT FOR SUBMISSION
The maximum allowable length is 7 pages for regular papers and 5 pages
for project notes, plus one optional page for abstract(s) in other
language(s). Please use A4 or US letter format and set margins so
that the text lies within a rectangle of 6.5 x 9 inches (16.5 x 23
cm). Use classical fonts such as Times Roman or Computer Modern, 11 to
12 points for text, 14 to 16 points for headings and title, centered
page numbers in footers, and 2 columns after title and
abstract. Figures may range across columns.
Since reviewing will be blind, a separate identification page is
required. It should include:
* submission type (regular paper, project note [+demo]),
* title
* author(s) name(s)
* affiliation(s)
* complete addresses
* abstract in English
* 1 or 2 topic areas
* submission to other conferences ('none' or list)
* and author of record (for correspondence).
Authors' names and affiliations should be omitted in the paper itself.
Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity (e.g.,
"We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...") should be avoided. Instead
use references like "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991)...".
Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected
without review.
While submissions must be sent in hardcopy, we encourage authors to
use our style files and templates for preparing them (available on
COLING-ACL'98 Web site). This will help ensure that the requirements
described above (including the separate identification page) are met,
and that the effort required to format the final version will be
minimized.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
All submissions (hardcopy and electronic) and questions regarding
submissions should be sent to:
