Subject: Avignon NLP'91 Conference
AVIGNON '91
NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING & ITS APPLICATIONS
Avignon - France, May 27 - 31, 1991.
CALL FOR PAPERS
With over 3,000 attendees and visitors from some 30 countries, the 1990
10th Avignon International Workshop on Expert Systems and their
Applications was the leading European event of the year in Artificial
Intelligence. Avignon '91 will follow the tradition of the previous
conferences by including a general conference on Expert Systems, as well
as a series of specialized conferences dealing with specific fields of
application.
A specialized conference on "Natural Language Processing & its
Applications" was held at Avignon '90, where it enjoyed enormous
success, especially because it provided a platform for discussion among
users, industrial companies, and researchers. The Natural Language
conference will again be a part of Avignon'91, and will include papers,
invited lectures, and panel sessions, tutorials, demonstrations, and an
industrial forum on natural language.
Topics
______
Papers may cover either applications or techniques. For the first
category (computer assisted translation, interfaces with databases,
automatic indexing, etc.), authors should specify whether the nature of
the application is specialized or general, as well as the degree to
which the implementation has been realized. For technical or scientific
papers, linguistic models (dialog, lexical representations, etc.) should
be clearly distinguished from the computing techniques employed
(automatic systems and problem-solving strategies for analysis or
generation).
