First Call for Papers
ROMAND 2000
1st workshop on RObust Methods in Analysis of Natural language Data
Department of Computer Science
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology - Lausanne
October 19-20 2000
http://lithwww.epfl.ch/romand2000/
ROMAND 2000 is the first of a series of workshop that aims at bringing
together researchers working on robust methods in natural language
processing. The term "natural language" is intended as all possible
modalities of human communication and it is not restricted to written
or spoken language. The main goal of the workshop will be to bring
together researchers working in fields like artificial intelligence,
computational linguistics, human-computer interaction, cognitive
science who are facing with the problem of feasible and reliable
systems implementation. Theoretical aspects of robustness in NLP are
welcome as well as engineering and industrial experiences.
The workshop will be held in collaboration with the TALN 2000 conference (le
Traitement Automatique des Langues Naturelles - Automatic Natural Language
Processing) which will be held in Lausanne from October 16th to 18th. The
ROMAND workshop will be held just afterwards, from the 19th to 20th.
We invite abstracts on all topics related to robustness in natural language
processing, including, but not limited to:
Robust Text Analysis
Information Extraction
Spoken Dialogue systems
Multimodal human-computer interfaces
Natural Language Architectures
NLP and Soft Computing
Robust Semantics
Underspecification
Multimedia document analysis
Robust Parsing
Complexity of linguistic analysis
Hybrid methods in computational linguistics
Text Mining
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Authors should submit an anonymous extended abstract of at most 6 (included
references) single-column pages with 10' body font size (for talks with a
duration of 20' plus 10' discussion) together with a separate page specifying
the authors' names, affiliation, address, and e-mail address. The abstracts
should be submitted electronically (in postscript or pdf format) to:
romand at epfl.ch.
