CALL FOR PAPERS, SPONSORSHIPS, AND
SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ICONIP'02, SEAL'02, and FSKD'02 will be jointly held in Orchid Country
Club, Singapore from November 18 to 22, 2002. The conferences will not
only feature the most up-to-date research results in neural
information processing, evolutionary computation, fuzzy systems, and
knowledge discovery, but also promote cross-fertilization over these
exciting and yet closely-related areas. Registration to any one of the
conferences will entitle a participant to the technical sessions and
the proceedings of all three conferences, as well as the conference
banquet, buffet lunches, and tours to two of the major attractions in
Singapore, i.e., Night Safari and Sentosa Resort Island. Many well-
known researchers will present keynote speeches, panel discussions,
invited lectures, and tutorials.
About Singapore
- -------------
Located at one of the most important crossroads of the world,
Singapore is truly a place where East and West come together. Here you
will find Chinese, Indian, and Malay communities living together,
their long established cultures forming a unique backdrop to a clean
and modern garden city. English is spoken everywhere and is the common
business language of all. Few places on earth promise such a delight
for the palate, with gourmet cuisine from over 30 countries. Exotic
resorts in neighboring countries are only a short bus/ferry ride away.
Orchid Country Club (OCC)
- -----------------------
The venue for this year's conferences is at one of Singapore's premier
country clubs, a 25-minute bus ride from the city. Away from the
hustle and bustle of downtown Singapore, the tranquil setting of the
resort is ideal for serious technical discussions with an
accommodating space and ambience for relaxation. Not to miss out on
the splendor of downtown Singapore, the organizer has also secured
good quality and affordable accommodation in the heart of the city
with pre-arranged transport to/from the OCC. For golf enthusiasts, OCC
is equipped with the largest computerized driving range in South East
Asia and boasts of a 27-hole golf course with facilities for night
golfing, ideal for relaxation after each day of technical
discussions. Visit the OCC website at http://www.orchidclub.com
Night Safari and Sentosa Resort Island
- ------------------------------------
It is said that a visit to Singapore is not complete without making a
trip to two of the Republic's famous attractions. The only one of its
kind in the world, the Night Safari provides a setting for visitors to
experience what it is like to observe animals in their nocturnal
habitat. The island of Sentosa offers some unique attractions and a
visit there will also provide a glimpse and imagery of Singapore's
past and present. Visits to these two attractions will be included as
recreation for the joint conference. (Websites:

Subject: 5th INTEX Workshop : dealine extension
******************************************************************
5th INTEX Workshop
Marseille, 2-3 mai 2002
Deadline extension
******************************************************************
The fifth INTEX workshop will take place in Marseille on May 2 and 3,
2002.
INTEX is a linguistic development environment which parses texts of
large corpora. It includes large-coverage linguistic resources and
tools to create and maintain them. These resources are in the form of
electronic dictionaries, graph libraries and databases of
morphological and syntactic lexicon-grammars.
This platform is compatible with linguistic resources of the DELA
system, the initial form of electronic dictionaries of the LADL
laboratory. These dictionaries are lexical databases that provide for
each item morphological, syntactic and semantic information. The user
can exploit his own resources, French dictionaires which have been
developed at the LADL and within the European RELEX network,
compatible linguistic resources (i.e. that use the same format) which
have been built for several languages: Bulgarian, English, French,
German, Greek, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Serbo-Croatian, Slovak,
Spanish. New studies have been started for Slovak.
One interesting characteristic of INTEX is that the system is "open":
users can add their own resources and use the INTEX programs to build
new applications. INTEX is used in over 80 research centers as a
linguistic platform, an information retrieval system, to teach second
languages, as a terminological extractor, as well as to teach
computational linguistics to students.
As in the previous workshops, (June 1996, 1999, 2000 and 2001), this
meeting will be the oportunity for INTEX users to meet and to exchange
their experience of development, research or teaching. It will also
be the occasion to present the new functionalities of INTEX in recent
developments.
For new users or researchers working with other systems, this meeting
offers the possibility of discovering a diversified panel of INTEX
application fields. In addition to oral presentations concerning
research or current developments, tutorials will allow to experiment
the software.
Please send before March 1st 2002 a one-page abstract to Jean Royaute,
Paul Sabatier or Max Silberztein, if possible by email. The abstract,
in French or English, should contain the title of the article, name,
author affiliations, surface mail and electronic address of each
author.
After the conference, authors will be invited to send a definitive
version of their papers for publishing. Proceedings will be available
and downloadable on the LIM web pages and the INTEX site. This
electronic publication will also collect papers of INTEX-2001.
