*** REMINDER: Deadline for submissions to DRH 2000 is 6 MARCH 2000 ***
This message contains a call for participation in DRH 2000 and a call for
proposals to host DRH 2001 and DRH 2002.
DRH 2000 : DIGITAL RESOURCES FOR THE HUMANITIES, University of Sheffield,
10-13 September 2000
The DRH conferences have established themselves firmly in the UK and
international calendar as a forum that brings together scholars,
librarians, archivists, curators, information scientists and computing
professionals in a unique and positive way, to share ideas and information
about the creation, exploitation, management and preservation of digital
resources in the arts and humanities.
The DRH 2000 conference will take place at the University of Sheffield,
10-13 September 2000. Proposals for academic papers, themed panel
sessions, posters and workshops are invited. Themes include: the creation
of digital resources; their delivery, use and integration; the impact of
digital resources on humanities research and education.
The deadline for submission is 6 March 2000.
Full details about the conference and the submission of proposals may be
found at:
http://www.shef.ac.uk/~drh2000/
Please address any queries to drh2000@sheffield.ac.uk
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR HOSTS : DRH 2001 and DRH 2002
The DRH Standing Committee warmly invites proposals to host the DRH
conferences in 2001 and 2002. Further information about DRH together with
the conference Protocol, which includes guidelines for prospective hosts,
is available via the DRH Web site at http://www.drh.org.uk/.
Proposals to host DRH should be submitted by 8 April 2000 to the Chair of
the Standing Committee, Marilyn Deegan
(marilyn.deegan@queen-elizabeth-house.oxford.ac.uk), giving as much detail
as possible to help the Committee in its selection process. Previous
hosts of DRH have found running the conference very rewarding and have
also found that it can be an opportunity to alert their wider institution
to research activities in this area.

Call for Participation - 2nd international Language Resources and
Evaluation Conference (LREC2000)
Year 2000 marks the beginning of a new era for Human Language
Technology and Language Engineering. The European Commission
and the US National Science Foundation have announced
Multilinguality as one of their main action points. The 2nd
international Language Resources and Evaluation Conference
(LREC2000), the second of a series of leading biennial events
representing cross-sectoral research and development in
speech, text, multi-media, and multi-modal processing, is
committed to promoting the language engineering initiatives
of these and similar organizations.
LREC2000, scheduled to take place 29 May - 2 June 2000 in
Athens, Greece, has accepted nearly 300 papers for
presentation at the main conference. About 10 pre- and
post-conference satellite workshops will also take place.
Many commercial and research systems for speech and natural
language processing will be demonstrated at the LREC2000
Exhibition in parallel with the conference sessions. From
500 to 700 conference delegates are expected to attend this
conference, with half coming from the corporate and
industrial sectors and half coming from the academic field.

EMBEDDED MACHINE TRANSLATION SYSTEMS
WORKSHOP II
held in conjunction with NAACL/ANLP2000
Thursday, May 4, 2000
Seattle, Washington, USA
Embedded MT Systems homepage for this workshop
http://lamp.cfar.umd.edu/Embedded_MT_Systems
WHAT IS AN "EMBEDDED MACHINE TRANSLATION (MT) SYSTEM"?
An "embedded MT system" is a computational system with one
or more MT engines among its components. These systems
accept multilingual, multimodal inputs and create various outputs
that enable the users to access the original information in their
own language. An MT component embedded in an end-to-end system
allows users to perform their specific tasks on foreign language
input that they previously only had been able to perform in
their native language. To date, these tasks have included
summarization, content extraction, filtering and document
retrieval.

Beyond Control or Through the Looking Glass? Threats and Liberties in the
Electronic Age
Friday 28 April 2000
The Oxford Union Debating Chamber
Organised by: Humanities Computing Unit, University of Oxford
http://www.hcu.ox.ac.uk/beyond/
Overview
--------
We are constantly being told that the new technologies, and particularly
the Internet will bring unparalleled benefits to society by increasing
access to all manner of resources, educational, cultural, and
entertainment. Yet at the same time we read of Internet scare stories
about the availability of pornography, racist material, and information
inciting violence. How can we square this circle? Is the Internet 'Beyond
Control', or are we 'Through the Looking Glass' into a wonderland of
strange and new adventures.
Set in the historical Debating Chamber of the Oxford Union, distinguished
speakers will present their views and debate the future shape of our
culture's landscape. The format of Beyond Control will be a mixture of
presentations, open discussion, and debates. We will aim to stimulate
discussion between the speakers and encourage the audience to participate
fully.
The list of invited speakers is growing all the time, and at the
moment we are pleased to announce the following.

--- PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ---
The Association for Machine Translation in the Americas
AMTA-2000 Conference
Location: Cuernavaca, Mexico
Dates: October 10-14, 2000
Envisioning Machine Translation in the Information Future
The Association for Machine Translation in the Americas (AMTA) is happy to
announce the plans for the fourth biennial conference, planned for October
10-14 at Mision del Sol, near Cuernavaca, Mexico.
The theme of AMTA-2000 is "Envisioning MT in the Information Future." The
focus will be on the articulation of future visions of MT: in the '00
decade, the 21st century, and even in the third millennium. Ubiquitous,
instant internet access will be available very soon from a host of
appliances and apparel. Later on, ways of thinking about the universe of
information will transcend our current metaphors of networks, clients,
servers, and communication. How will these and other possible paths into
the future affect our exponential need for translation? Will the process of
translation become transparent? How long before we each have a true
babelfish in our ear? Will the quality ceiling finally be broken by
incremental improvements, or by an as yet unimagined breakthrough? Will
translation even be necessary - will globalization lead to a single
language, or will translation allow for the growth of local languages?
