CALL FOR PAPERS
Submissions due on January 9, 2001
HLT 2001, Human Language Technology Confererence
March 18-21, 2001
San Diego, California
http://hlt2001.org
Human Language Technology brings together researchers in a broad
spectrum of fields, all of which are working toward enabling computers
to interact with humans using natural language capabilities. The HLT
Conference is a forum for researchers in those fields to present
high-quality, cutting-edge work, and to exchange ideas and explore
directions for further research. The Conference will also foster
opportunities for international collaboration within language
technology. The Conference and Program Chairs invite submissions from
researchers in computer science, linguistics, engineering, psychology,
etc., who are exploring methods for enabling better use of language
technology. Further information is available at the Conference web
site, http://hlt2001.org .
The Conference will span four days, running from Sunday afternoon
through mid-day Wednesday. It will include peer-reviewed research
presentations, posters, demonstrations, panel sessions, and time for
discussion. Sessions will cover not only research, but also
developments in related government funding programs.
HLT submissions should be in areas such as the following:
Computational linguistics, Computational support for learning,
Cross-language and multilingual systems, Dialogue interaction, Formal
methods for NLP, HLT architectures, HLT evaluation, HLT resource
development, HLT standards, Human-computer interaction, Information
Retrieval, Information extraction, Machine translation, Question
answering, Rule-based natural language processing, Speech and language
applications, Speech generation, Speech recognition, Speech synthesis,
Statistical NLP, and Summarization.
Space at the Conference is restricted. The presenting author of
accepted papers, posters, and demonstrations is automatically
invited. Individuals or groups interested in attending otherwise
should see the Conference web site for application information.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSIONS
Submissions will be electronic, in PostScript or PDF. Complete
submission information will be available at http://hlt2001.org .
HLT submissions are due on or before January 9, 2001. Submissions
will be 3-4 page extended abstracts (not to exceed 1500 words) of the
proposed presentation and must include enough information for the
reviewers to judge the applicability and novelty of the work. It is
expected that the Conference will include diverse areas within HLT and
preference will be given to papers that will appeal to multiple
fields. Submissions should indicate the preferred and acceptable
presentation methods: paper, poster, or demonstration. The Program
Committee will select among those presentation methods for accepted
submissions based on what fits the program best.
In order to encourage late-breaking research results, the submission
deadline for HLT 2001 is very close to the Conference. There is
insufficient time to produce a bound proceedings for the Conference.
Instead, all accepted papers, posters, and demonstrations will have
their extended abstracts (revised based on reviewer comments)
published in notebook proceedings that will be available at the
Conference. After the Conference, authors will have an opportunity to
revise their papers for the final bound proceedings.

CONFERENCE VENUE
The HLT Conference will be held at the Catamaran Resort Hotel in San
Diego, California. The famous San Diego Zoo is the home of Hua Mei,
the only baby giant panda to be born in the US (she will be 18 months
old at HLT). Sea World is one of the area's better known attractions,
where you can see the killer whale Shamu. San Diego also houses
Balboa Park, the largest urban cultural park. You can stroll through
