TAPD2000
2nd Workshop on 'Tabulation in Parsing and Deduction'
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
September 2000
Vigo, Spain
Sponsored by University of Vigo
WEB page: http://coleweb.dc.fi.udc.es/tapd2000/
Following TAPD'98 in Paris (France) next TAPD event will be held in
Vigo (Spain), in September, 2000.
MOTIVATIONS:
Tabulation techniques are becoming a common way to deal with highly
redundant computations occurring, for instance, in Natural Language
Processing, Logic Programming, Deductive Databases, or Abstract
Interpretation, and related to phenomena such as ambiguity,
non-determinism or domain ordering.
Different approaches, including for example Chart Parsing, Magic-Set
rewriting, Memoization, and Dynamic Programming, have been proposed
whose key idea is to keep traces of computations to achieve
computation sharing and loop detection. In addition, tabulation also
offers more flexibility to investigate new parsing or proof strategies
and to represent ambiguity by shared structures (Shared Proof or Parse
Forest).
The first objective of this workshop is to compare and discuss these
different approaches. The second objective is to present tabulation
and tabular systems to potential users in different application
areas. One major area of application is Natural Language Processing,
where tabulation has been known for a long time (CKY, Earley, chart
parsing). However, sophisticated tabulation techniques are required
for the more and more complex grammatical formalisms now used in NLP
(unification, constraints, structural complexity). Contributions in
other areas, such as picture parsing, genome analysis, or complete
deduction techniques, are also encouraged.
TOPICS (not exclusive):
-- Tabulation Techniques:
Chart Parsing, Tabling, Memoization, Dynamic Programming,
Magic Set, Generic Fix-Point Algorithms
-- Applications:
Parsing, Generation, Logic Programming, Deductive Databases,
Abstract Interpretation, Deduction in Knowledge Bases, Theorem Proving
-- Static Analysis:
Improving tabular evaluation
-- Parsing or resolution strategies.
-- Efficiency issues:
Dealing with large tables (structure sharing, term indexing),
Execution models, Exploiting the domain ordering (subsumption).
-- Shared structures (parse or proof forest):
Formal analysis, representation and processing.
WORKSHOP FORMAT:
The workshop will be a 3-day event that provides a forum for
individual presentations of the accepted contributions as well as
group discussions.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Authors are invited to submit before April 28 a 4-page position
paper or abstract concerning a theoretical contribution or a system to
be presented. Due to tight time constraints, submission and reviewing
will be handled exclusively electronically (LaTeX, PostScript, dvi or
ascii format). Submission should include the title, authors' names,
affiliations, addresses, and e-mail.
The submissions must be sent to David S. Warren (warren at cs.sunysb.edu) in
gziped encoded postscript.
SCHEDULE (tentative dates):
Submission of contributions: April 28, 2000
Notification of acceptance: June 1, 2000
Final versions due: June 30, 2000

September 2000
Vigo, Spain
Sponsored by Universidade de Vigo
WEB Page: http://coleweb.dc.fi.udc.es/sepln2000/
Following SEPLN'99 in Lleida (Spain), the next SEPLN event will be held in
Vigo (Spain), in September, 2000.
MOTIVATIONS
The motivation for this Conference is to provide researchers in the field of
Natural Language Processing a chance to present their recent work, to share
their experimental results, and to discuss a range of problems which must be
treated. Moreover, for researchers not directly involved within the field
of natural language processing, presentations shall offer the opportunity
to realize the active state of the art research, together with present
applications and possibilities offered by this field. Thus, an important
objective of this Conference is to promote the exchange of ideas and opinions
for future basic research directions and to compare these ideas with the
actual needs of the society.
AREAS OF INTEREST
1. Linguistic, mathematic and psicolinguistic models of languages.
2. Corpus linguistics
3. Information extraction and retrieval
4. Formalisms and grammars for morphological and syntactical analysis
5. Computational lexicography
6. Monolingual and multilingual textual generation
7. Automatic translation
8. Speech synthesis and recognition
9. Semantics, pragmatics and discourse
PROJECTS AND DEMOS
The organizers encourage participants to give oral presentations of
projects and demos. Depending on the estimated number of oral
presentations, some session may be reserved to this purpose.
For oral presentation of projects to be accepted, the following information
must be included:
- Project title
- Funding institution
- Participant groups in the project
- Name, affiliation, e-mail and phone number of the director of the
project.
- Abstract (2 pages maximum).
- If a demonstration is to be performed, further information must be included,
as indicated below.
For demonstrations to be accepted, the following information is mandatory:
- Name, affiliation, e-mail and phone number of the authors.
- Abstract (2 pages maximum).
- Time estimation for the whole presentation.
This information must be received by June 4, 2000.
