***************************************
C A L L F O R P A P E R S
2003 International Symposium on
Reference Resolution and Its Applications to
Question Answering and Summarization
Venice, Italy
June 23-25, 2003
***********************************************
Reference resolution algorithms are applicable for the processing of
discourse and dialogue and more recently became important tools for
textual Questions Answering (QA) systems or Summarization systems. The
objective of this Symposium is to bring together researchers whose
work focuses on the resolution of reference in natural language and to
create a forum for the presentation and discussion of their current
results. We are especially interested in the application of reference
resolution to Questions Answering and Summarization and welcome papers
and discussions that tackle the interactions of reference resolution
with these two NLP applications. This call for papers invites
submissions of papers describing recent novel and challenging
work/results in reference resolution, questions answering and
summarization. The range of topics to be covered will include, but
will not be limited to:
o new reference resolution algorithms,
o reference resolution and its contribution to discourse processing,
o new methods for single and multi-document summarization,
o recent findings in the theory and practice of textual question
answering,
o theories and formalisms for reference resolution,
o empirical methods in reference resolution,
o applications of reference resolution,
o multilingual and multidocument reference resolution,
o evaluation of reference resolution
o resources used for reference resolution.
o reference resolution for factual questions answering
o reference resolution for summarization
o reference resolution for dialog processing
o reference resolution for the identification of disourse relations
and discourse structure
