General
-------
The last few years have seen the explosively growing use of corpora in
a number of NLP areas. Corpus data are used increasingly as a basis for
the design, development and optimisation of various NLP applications
but also for their evaluation.
"Corpora and NLP" is a 3-day thematic session and will be held as part
of the International Conference on Artificial and Computational
Intelligence for Control, Automation and Decision in Engineering and
Industrial Systems (ACIDCA'2000) (for more details on ACIDCA'2000,
visit http://www.chez.com/acidca2000)
.. The session
"Corpora and NLP" will be organised as a workshop with its own
Proceedings and Programme Committee.
The session will address all aspects of the use of written and spoken
corpora (including the construction of corpora to be used) in NLP.
Main Topics
-----------
We expect submissions covering (but not limited to) the following
topics:
* Lexicography
* Lexical knowledge acquisition
* Part of Speech Tagging
* Unknown word guessing
* Term recognition
* Morphological Analysis
* Robust Parsing
* Word Sense Disambiguation
* Anaphora Resolution
* Discourse segmentation
* Machine Translation
* Agreement Error Correction
* Spelling and Grammar Correction
* Information Extraction
* Automatic Abstracting
* Text Categorisation
* Speech processing
* Multilingual corpora and multilingual applications
* Corpus annotation
* Evaluation

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
First workshop on
INFERENCE IN COMPUTATIONAL SEMANTICS
ICoS-1
Institute for Logic, Language and Computation
Amsterdam, August 15, 1999
(Submission deadline: June 1, 1999)
Endorsed by SIGSEM, the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)
Special Interest Group (SIG) on computational semantics.
ABOUT ICoS
Traditional inference tools (such as theorem provers and model builders)
are reaching new levels of sophistication and are now widely and easily
available. In addition, a wide variety of new tools (statistical and
probabilistic methods, ideas from the machine learning community) are
likely to be increasingly applied in computational semantics for natural
language. Indeed, computational semantics has reached the stage where the
exploration and development of inference is one of its most pressing tasks
--- and there's a lot of interesting new work which takes inferential
issues seriously.
The first workshop on Inference in Computational Semantics (ICoS-1) intends
to bring together researchers from areas such as Computational Linguistics,
Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, and Logic, in order to discuss
approaches and applications of inference in natural language semantics.

SCOPE
-----
Technological innovation is related to more than one scientific field.
Cooperation between researchers in different scientific fields and
industrials is nowadays inevitable. The International Conference on
Artificial and Computational Intelligence for Decision, Control and
Automation in Engineering and Industrial Applications (ACIDCA'2000) will
provide a forum for theoretician and practitioner researchers, industrials,
and academic experts to exchange ideas, share experiences, promote
technological products, and address the important issue of the applications
of advanced topics in computational intelligence, artificial intelligence,
decision, control, and automation in engineering and industrial systems.
ACIDCA'2000 will include exhibits and demonstrations of real-world
applications and will be a job fair by matching up applicants with
employment opportunities.

Formal Grammar Conference - FG99
PROGRAM
August 7-8, 1999 Utrecht, The Netherlands
In August 1999, the Eleventh European Summer School in Logic, Lan-
guage and Information (ESSLLI XI) will be held in Utrecht, The Nether-
lands, August 9-20. The ESSLLI Summer Schools have become a forum
for work on formal grammar, encompassing the overlapping interests of
work in formal linguistics, computational linguistics, and the role of logic
and grammar formalisms. FG99 is the 5th conference on Formal Grammar
held in conjunction with the European Summer School in Logic, Language
and Information, which takes place in 1999 in Utrecht. Previous meetings
were held in Barcelona (1995), Prague (1996), Aix-en-Provence (1997),
and as part of the Joint Conference on Formal Grammar, Head-Driven
Phrase Structure Grammar, and Categorial Grammar (FHCG98) held in
Saarbr"ucken last August. Themes of interest include formal and com-
putational syntax, semantics, and pragmatics; head-driven phrase struc-
ture grammar and categorial grammar; model-theoretic and proof-theoretic
methods in linguistics; constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches
to grammar; and foundational, methodological and architectural issues in
grammar.

On the following pages, a detailed program of the conference is pro-
vided. Registration for the conference should be done via the ESSLLI XI
Secretariat. The conference fee of Dfl. 80 includes a copy of the conference
proceedings. Online registration for FG-99 and joint registration covering
both FG99 and ESSLLI XI can be arranged at
