We'd appreciate your limiting conference announcements to 150 lines,
so that we can post more than 1 per issue. Please consider omitting
information useful only to attendees, such as information on housing,
transportation, or rooms and times of sessions. Please do not use
abbreviations or acronyms for your conference unless you explain
them in your text. Many people outside your area of specialization
will not recognize them. Thank you for your cooperation.

"From Research to Commercial Applications:
Making NLP Technology Work in Practice"
ACL'97/EACL'97 Workshop Announcement
Saturday, July 12, 1997
Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia
Madrid, Spain
--------------------------------------------------------
Workshop Description:
Success in the marketplace is one form of validation for NLP
techniques and underlying theories. The workshop
will bring together researchers to discuss commercial or
commercial-bound systems that use NLP for either text or speech.
Systems will be discussed that show re-use of
NLP techniques, and that illustrate industry-based practical
considerations involving NLP technology.
Experiences and problems -- technical, logistic, or cultural --
among people working on operational and commercial NLP applications
will be discussed. Discussion of the issues above will
create connections between both academic and industry-based
research efforts to build a solid infrastructure for NLP
technology re-use and lead to a deeper understanding of commercial
NLP potential.
