IMPACTS
in Natural Language Generation
NLG Between Technology and Applications
July 26-28, 2000
- immediately preceding COLING 2000 -
Schloss Dagstuhl, Saarland, Germany
Homepage: http://impacts.dfki.de
IMPACTS is supported as a "SIGGEN NLG Workshop".
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
The IMPACTS workshop aims at studying, discussing, and clarifying the
relationships between NLG technologies and applications. The workshop
addresses
- researchers and developers in NLG,
- current and potential users of NLG applications,
- the interplay between statistical and rule-based NLG,
- the reusability of modules within NLG systems.
IMPACTS will be an ideal opportunity to discuss current issues and
future prospects in Natural Language Generation with prominent
researchers in the field, in the stimulating environment of Schloss
Dagstuhl.
THE WORKSHOP
The workshop will consist of three types of sessions: presentation of
submitted papers, an invited talk and several "burning issues" sessions.
In order to implement our concept of a discussion-intensive event, we
have invited four "burning issues" presentations taking up the main
topic of the workshop. They will initiate interesting discussions and
last two hours up to half a day. A concluding panel session will
summarize all discussions.
Burning Issues sessions will be chaired by Srinivas Bangalore (AT&T
Research), Eduard Hovy, Daniel Marcu (both USC/ISI, Los Angeles), and
Chris Mellish (Univ. of Edinburgh, UK). The invited talk will be given
by David McDonald (Brandeis University, USA). As for the program, please
consult the IMPACTS homepage at http://impacts.dfki.de
