TUTORIALS
Tuesday, 22 June 1993, 2:00-5:30

BRAIN AND LANGUAGE
Helen Gigley, Naval Research Laboratory
Steve Small, University of Pittsburgh

Human language performance results from complex computations within a
unique machine architecture. While neither this brain hardware nor the
specific computations for producing and comprehending language are well
understood, certain facts are available and a number of well supported
hypotheses are under investigation. It is our view that the study of
language performance has a potentially large role to play in
computational linguistics, and that the study of brain mechanisms
underlying this performance may yield insights into issues of
importance for construction of artificial systems that process natural
language.

This tutorial is organized into two sections. The first part describes
the functional neuroanatomy of the brain, with greatest emphasis on
methods of testing language function in the brain, the sorts of results
that have been obtained, and what these imply for the structure of
brain computations and for the nature of human language. Demonstrations
of people with language impairments (live or on videotape) as well as
example computed tomographic and/or magnetic resonance images will
supplement descriptive material.

The second part of the tutorial will discuss two broad computational
subjects, cognitive modelling and practical natural language processing.
A number of researchers are constructing computer models of cognitive
neuropsychological phenomena, many involving language, using both
symbolic and connectionist methods. Several examples of such models
and the neurobiological and psychological data that constrain their
processing architectures will be discussed. While certain aspects of
linguistic data and theory have been successfully applied to the
construction of practical NLP systems, theoretical notions from
neurobiology have not played much role. This topic will be discussed
with practical suggestions on using data and theory from cognitive
neuroscience to construct new NLP systems or to improve existing ones.


MATHEMATICS OF LANGUAGE: HOW TO MEASURE THE COMPLEXITY OF NATURAL LANGUAGES
Alexis Manaster Ramer, Wayne State University
Wlodek Zadrozny, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center

This tutorial will survey the uses of formal language, automata, and
complexity theory in computational linguistics, seeking to answer such
questions as whether natural languages are, for example, context-free
or parsable in deterministic polynomial time. More generally, we will
consider the question of how these formal theories can best be applied
to NLs in a computational setting, focusing on such issues as the
properties of constructions vs. those of languages, the formalization
and computational uses Chomsky's intuitions about ``E-'' vs.
``I-language'', the relative power of different models of NL, the formal
treatment of computational models of ``performance'', and, finally, some
startling new results about the power of models of semantics.


TUTORIALS
Wednesday, 23 June 1993, 9:00-12:30

MULTIMEDIA AND MULTIMODAL PARSING
Kent Wittenburg, Bellcore

As new information channels and input devices arrive on the scene, the
spectrum of possibilities and challenges for interpretation increases
beyond single-channel text or speech. First, there is integration of
more than one modality -- speech and simultaneous pointing being a
paramount example. Second, characterizing and processing expressions
in nonlinear input media requires extensions to the usual linear,
string-based methods. Examples of nonlinear input include static
figures and diagrams; interactive gesturing, writing, and drawing; live
cameras and stored video; and data from eye-tracking hardware and 3D
devices such as spaceballs or datagloves.

This tutorial is directed towards ACL members who would like to be be
made aware of current research in parsing and interpretation of such
media. The focus will be on identifying problems for which extensions
to grammatical representation and parsing methods already in common
practice in computational linguistics may provide solutions. We will
consider the problem of characterizing multidimensional expressions
separately and concurrently as languages and then survey techniques for
parsing and interpreting them. The tutorial will initially include a
brief characterization of current research and practice in interpreting
nonlinear and multimodal input along these lines. Then it will
highlight some of the more interesting grammatical frameworks, with a
brief overview of graph grammars as well as an introduction to current
research from the visual languages community. We will close with a
detailed example using Relational Grammars, a framework for
multidimensional languages that cuts across several of the current
proposals for constraint-based grammars and parsing methods.


NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING AND INFORMATION RETRIEVAL
David D. Lewis, AT&T Bell Laboratories
Elizabeth D. Liddy, Syracuse University

This tutorial will discuss the application of natural language
processing methods to support more effective text retrieval and text
categorization. We will present a comprehensive discussion of the use
of NLP methods to address particular characteristics of human language
that make these tasks difficult. In parallel, we will also consider
more traditional ``non-NLP'' methods for addressing the same problems,
and discuss the tradeoffs for each. One theme of the tutorial is that
the line between NLP and non-NLP methods in IR is becoming quite fuzzy,
with the increasing use of statistical and other robust techniques in
NLP. Linguistic examples will be drawn primarily from English, plus
some from Japanese and other languages.




WORKSHOP ON ACQUISITION OF LEXICAL KNOWLEDGE FROM TEXT
Monday, 21 June, 9:00-5:00
Fawcett Center, Ohio State University

Sponsored by the ACL Special Interest Group on the Lexicon (SIGLEX)

This workshop will consider the state of the art in acquiring aspects
of a lexical entry -- either for computational or lexicographic
purposes -- through the use of computer analysis techniques. Topics
considered will be in any of the general areas of: (1) recognition of text
objects as lexical entities; (2) identification of the properties of
such lexical entities: (3) identification and recognition of the most
informative piece of text which is characteristic of these properties
of the lexical entity.

Attendance is limited. For further information, contact James Pustejovsky,
Brandeis University, Computer Science, Ford Hall, Waltham, MA 02254, USA;
+1-617-736-2709 phone; jamesp@cs.brandeis.edu.



WORKSHOP ON INTENTIONALITY AND STRUCTURE IN DISCOURSE RELATIONS
Monday, 21 June, 9:00-5:00
Fawcett Center, Ohio State University

Sponsored by the ACL Special Interest Group on Natural Language Generation
(SIGGEN)

This workshop will consider the relationship between rhetorical or
discourse structure relations and intentionality or communicative goals.
Topics considered will be (1) the evidence for the existence of
rhetorical relations and what types can be identified; (2) the evidence
for the existence of intentions and what types can be identified;
(3) the relationship between the two types of knowledge; (4) how
rhetorical relations interact with representations of Speaker's and
Hearer's beliefs and desires; (5) how rhetorical relations are used in
discourse understanding.

Attendance is limited. For further information, contact Owen Rambow,
University of Pennsylvania, Computer and Information Science, IRCS,
Suite 400C, 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia PA 19104, USA;
+1-215-898-0334 phone; +1-215-573-2048 fax; rambow@unagi.cis.upenn.edu.



WORKSHOP ON VERY LARGE CORPORA: ACADEMIC AND INDUSTRIAL PERSPECTIVES
Tuesday, 22 June, 9:00-5:00
Fawcett Center, Ohio State University

Sponsored by the ACL, Chemical Abstracts, Mead Data Central (MDC),
Online Computer Library Center (OCLC)

This workshop will bring together people working with very large
corpora from industry and academia to consider a variety of
text analysis techniques: ``robust'' parsing, part of speech tagging,
sense tagging, identification of phrases, collocation, morphology,
and discourse structure. It will explore how these techniques relate
to a range of applications: information retrieval, recognition (speech,
OCR, handwriting), spelling correction, translation, and lexicography.

Attendance is limited. For further information, contact Kenneth Ward
Church, AT&T Bell Laboratories, 2B422, 600 Mountain Ave, Murray Hill,
NJ 07974, USA; +1-908-582-5325 phone; +1-908-582-7550 fax;
kwc@research.att.com




SPECIAL BUSINESS MEETING AGENDA
Friday, 25 June, 11:45-12:40
Fawcett Center Auditorium, Ohio State University

In addition to the elections and the usual status reports, members will
be asked to consider constitutional changes that are necessary for
creating the office of Associate Secretary-Treasurer formally and for
establishing a five-year term for Secretary-Treasurer. If these
changes are approved, Judith Klavans, who has been appointed on an
interim basis as Associate Secretary-Treasurer by the Executive
Committee, will stand for election. She would then become
Secretary-Treasurer in January 1995. Other constitutional changes also
will be voted on. A description will be included in the registration
package.

There will also be reports on the Special Interest Groups, the ACL Data
Collection Initiative, the ACL European Corpus Initiative, the
Consortium for Lexical Research, the Text Encoding Initiative, the new
Computational Linguistics Course Survey, and other topics of current
interest.




JUDY COLLINS AND THE COLUMBUS SYMPHONY
Friday, 25 June, 8:15-10:15pm
Chemical Abstracts Arena, next to Fawcett Center

Judy Collins will appear in concert with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra
outdoors on the grounds of Chemical Abstracts, which is right next to
Fawcett Center. Admission is $10, payable at the gate. The audience is
accommodated on the lawn, so people should bring something to sit on.




STUDENT MEMBER LUNCH MEETING
Saturday, 26 June, 12:15-1:45
Fawcett Center Banquet Rooms, Ohio State University

The ACL is hosting a complimentary lunch meeting for ACL Student
Members and for Regular Members who qualify as students to allow them
to reflect on the Friday sessions, to plan for the next Annual Meeting,
and to discuss any other issues of interest. Those interested in
attending should check the entry on the registration form, although
that can also be done at the meeting. Students will need to request a
lunch ticket at conference registration and confirm their member
status.

APPLICATION FOR RESIDENCE HALL ACCOMMODATIONS (by 15 June)

31st Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
22-26 June 1993, Fawcett Center, The Ohio State University

A number of two-, three-, and six-bedroom suites -- some with single
bedrooms, others with twin beds -- have been reserved in the Harrison
House Apartments, 222 West Lane Avenue, Columbus, OH 43201, on the
edge of the OSU campus and within walking distance of Fawcett Center.
Each suite features a private bath (the six-bedroom suites have two),
kitchenette, living room, and air conditioning. Rooms have
full-service linen but do not have daily maid service. There is a
24-hour fitness center and a computer lab. The accommodations are
quite nice. Harrison House is not a part of the university.

People will be assigned successively to the two-, three-, and
six-bedroom suites in the order in which applications are received.
Reservations are $75 for single occupancy and $50 each for two in a
bedroom for the five days from 22-27 June, regardless of how many days
one actually stays, but the low prices makes this constraint
reasonable. Parking is $7.50 for the five-day period.

Harrison House is open 24 hours a day; the office telephone number is
+1-614-294-5551. Pay when you leave; Visa and Master Card are accepted.

Send in this ``Application for Residence Halls,'' as soon as possible.
It must be received no later than 15 June to guarantee a room, although
it may still be possible to make reservations after that date.
