Call Deadline: 25-Apr-2005 

Meeting Description:

FSMNLP 2005 will be a forum for researchers working on
applications of finite state methods (FSM) in natural
language processing (NLP) or on the theoretical and
implementation aspects of such finite-state methods
that are relevant to NLP. The aim of the workshop is to
bring together members of the academic, research, and
industrial community working on finite-state based
models in language technology, computational
linguistics, linguistics and cognitive science or on
related methods in fields such as computer science and
mathematics. 

TOPICS:                      

   We invite novel high-quality papers that are related
to the themes including but not limited to: 

    1. NLP applications and linguistic aspects of
finite-state methods

    2. Finite-state models of language

    3. Practices for building lexical transducers for
the world's languages. 

    4. Specification and implementation of sets,
relations and multiplicities in NLP using finite automata 

    5. Constraint-based grammars and k-ary regular
relations

    6. Machine learning of finite-state models of
natural language 

    7. Finite-state manipulation software (with
relevance to the above themes)

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Subject Language(s): Japanese (JPN)
                     Korean (KKN)

Call Deadline: 01-May-2005 

Meeting Description:

The 15th Japanese/Korean Linguistics Conference will be
held October 7-9, 2005, on the campus of the University
of Wisconsin-Madison. This conference aims to provide a
forum for presenting research in Japanese and Korean
linguistics, thereby facilitating efforts to deepen our
understanding of these two languages, which have
striking typological similarities.  The invited
speakers include Masayoshi Shibatani (Rice University),
Patricia Clancy (University of California, Santa
Barbara), Yoshiko Matsumoto (Stanford University), and
Chung-hey Han (Simon Fraser University). 

Papers in all sub areas of Japanese and Korean
linguistics are invited.  Presentations, except for
those by the keynote speakers, will be 20 minutes long
and will be followed by a 10-minute question and answer
period.

Please submit abstracts (one page, 500 words maximum)
as a PDF file attached to an email message to
eall at mailplus.wisc.edu by May 1, 2005.  You may use a
second page for references and/or example sentences. 
The first line of your abstract should indicate the
category (Formal or Functional), followed by the
sub-field (e.g., Formal/Syntax, Functional/Discourse,
etc.).  The second line should be the paper title. 
Omit your name and affiliation from the abstract.  In
the body of your email message, include name(s) and
affiliation(s), address, phone number, and email
address.  Use the following subject header for your
email:  ''JK15, Last name, First Initial.''  Please note
that only one abstract from each individual can be
considered for acceptance.  One individual abstract and
one jointly authored abstract may be submitted.

All the necessary information about the conference will
appear on our conference website in the coming weeks.
