The ITC-IRST (Institute for Scientific and Technological Research)
in Trento, in the North of Italy, will host the 6th International
Workshop on Parsing Technologies (IWPT 2000) from 23 to 25 February,
2000.
IWPT 2000 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; and Boston/Cambridge (Massachusetts) in 1997.
!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!
! IWPT 2000 will feature the following invited speakers: !
! !
! ERIC BRILL (Microsoft Research) !
! MARTIN KAY (Stanford University and Xerox Research) !
! GIORGIO SATTA (University of Padua) !
! !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
More information can be found on the IWPT 2000 home page at:
http://parlevink.cs.utwente.nl/sigparse/
Topics of interest for IWPT 2000
- ------------------------------
Theoretical and practical studies of parsing algorithms for natural
language sentences, texts, fragments, dialogues, ill-formed sentences,
speech input, multi-dimensional (pictorial) language, and parsing issues
arising or viewed in a multimodal context. Both grammar-based and
statistical approaches are welcome.
Submitting Papers

General
- -----
The last few years have seen the explosively growing use of corpora in
a number of NLP areas. Corpus data are used increasingly as a basis for
the design, development and optimisation of various NLP applications but
also for their evaluation.
"Corpora and NLP" is a 3-day thematic session and will be held as part
of the International Conference on Artificial and Computational
Intelligence for Control, Automation and Decision in Engineering and
Industrial Systems (ACIDCA'2000) (for more details on ACIDCA'2000,
visit http://www.chez.com/acidca2000 . The session
"Corpora and NLP" will be organised as a workshop with its own
Proceedings and Programme Committee.
The session will address all aspects of the use of written and spoken
corpora (including the construction of corpora to be used) in NLP.
Main Topics
- ---------
We expect submissions covering (but not limited to) the following
topics:
* Lexicography
* Lexical knowledge acquisition
* Part of Speech Tagging
* Unknown word guessing
* Term recognition
* Morphological Analysis
* Robust Parsing
* Word Sense Disambiguation
* Anaphora Resolution
* Discourse segmentation
* Machine Translation
* Agreement Error Correction
* Spelling and Grammar Correction
* Information Extraction
* Automatic Abstracting
* Text Categorisation
* Speech processing
* Multilingual corpora and multilingual applications
* Corpus annotation
* Evaluation
Papers describing industrial applications based on corpus
processing techniques are welcome.
