8th EUROPEAN WORKSHOP ON NATURAL LANGUAGE GENERATION
6-7 July 2001
Toulouse, France
http://www.cs.unca.edu/~bruce/acl01/NLG.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Natural language generation (NLG) constitutes the production of meaningful
texts in natural languages from some underlying non-linguistic
representation of information. Accomplishing this goal may be envisioned
for a number of different purposes, including standardized and/or
multi-lingual reports, summaries, machine translation, dialog applications,
and embedding in multi-media and hypertext environments. Consequently, the
automated production of language is associated with a large number of
highly diverse tasks whose appropriate orchestration in high quality poses
a variety of theoretical and practical problems. Relevant issues include
content selection, text organization, the production of referring
expressions, aggregation, lexicalization, and surface realization, as well
as coordination with other media.
This workshop is part of a bi-annual series of workshops about natural
language generation that runs since 1987. Previous European workshops have
been held at Royaumont, Edinburgh, Judenstein, Pisa, Leiden, Duisburg, and
Toulouse. The goal of the workshop is to be an informal meeting which
facilitates the dissemination of knowledge and expertise in the field. The
workshop will focus on the following topics:
* Search methods for NLG (in content planning and realization)
There seems to be a substantial discrepancy between
application-oriented systems and principled approaches to NLG.
Accomodating a standard pipeline architecture with suitable heuristic
preferences to the intended functionality of a system stands in
contrast to several principled approaches to searching which have been
tried out so far. These include blackboard architectures, constraint
propagation and, more recently genetic algorithms and statistical
techniques. A comparison of these methods in terms of their potential
and limitations is likely to improve understanding about this issue.
Gained insights could prove fruitful for building applications in a
more general and, thus, better reusable way, especially in large-scale
applications such as summarization and machine translation.
* Differences in information organization between source and
presentation specifications (and methods to bridge between these)
Whether the generation task is to verbally express contents of some
knowledge base or to produce multi-lingual presentations from
language-neutral or similar representations, there are strong
similarities in building the target representations: In the
overwhelming number of cases, the ordering and embedding of elements
in the source representation is reflected by the ordering and
embedding of their corresponding realizations at the surface. Often,
this reflection is systematic, many times even simple. But a few cases
prove complex and involve a major restructuring of the surface
structure when compared to the source structure. A major emphasis of
this topic is on collecting such complex cases, identifying
commonalities between them and discussing restructuring techniques.

** SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS **
Workshop on 'Modular Programming applied to Natural Language Processing'
Held as part of EUROLAN'01 Summer School
July 30 - August 11
Iasi, Romania
http://www.wlv.ac.uk/sles/compling/news/
CALL FOR PAPERS
The effectiveness of modular programming in designing software has long
been acknowledged by the computer science community. However, the
computational linguistics community preferred to develop components in
isolation, without integrating existing modules into proposed systems.
There are several reasons for this. Firstly, integration of different
modules is not a trivial task, requiring a lot of time. Usually the
major problem is the loss of information caused when the output of one
module has to be converted to the input of another. Most research
projects do not have the time or resources to concentrate on a real
modular architecture, using trade offs (such as manually created inputs)
instead. Secondly, most of the work in the research community is
directed towards proposing and demonstrating new hypotheses, and not
building robust and fully automatic applications. In many cases
preprocessing steps, which produce the input data for the tested method,
are considered trivial and accurate, and as a result replaced with hand
produced data. Therefore, when a researcher needs a certain module for a
method, s/he prefers to produce the output of that program manually,
either because s/he is not aware of an existing implementation which
performs the required task, or because the work involved in setting it
up is greater than that involved in manually producing the output
(usually because the implementation was developed and tested on a
different platform).
However, this situation has started to change rapidly. More and more
researchers have appreciated the complexity of NLP tasks and the need to
use modular programming. A quick look at the systems presented at the
latest MUC indicated that they are complex systems which reuse previous
research. Systems like GATE have been designed in order to help with the
integration of different modules in a system. In addition, the research
community is increasingly requiring the development of fully automatic
applications.
This workshop will provide a forum for discussion between researchers
involved in the development of automatic NLP systems and leading names
in the field. We would like to invite all researchers to submit their
original and unpublished work to the workshop. Topics of interest
include but are not limited to:
- modular architectures for NLP
- black/glass box evaluation measures
- research on the influence of substitution and alternate combinations
of modules on overall system performance
- reusability
- integration of resources (including conversion formats between
modules)
- platforms for developing modular applications
- repositories

Workshop on Evaluation for Language and Dialogue Systems
ACL/EACL 2001
Toulouse, France
July 6-7, 2001
WORKSHOP GOALS
The aim of this two day workshop is to identify and to synthesize current
needs for language-technology evaluation.
The first day of the workshop will focus on one of the most challenging
current issues in language engineering: the evaluation of dialogue systems
and models. The second day will extend the discussion to address the problem
of evaluation in language engineering more broadly and on more theoretical
grounds.
The space of possible dialogues is enormous, even for limited domains like
travel information servers. The generalization of evaluation methodologies
across different application domains and languages is an open problem.
Review of published evaluations of dialogue models and systems suggests that
usability techniques are the standard method. Dialogue-based system are
often evaluated in terms of standard, objective usability metrics, such as
task-completion time and number of user actions. In the past, researchers
have proposed and debated theory-based methods for modifying and testing the
underlying dialogue model, but the most widely used method of evaluation is
usability testing, although more precise and empirical methods for
evaluating the effectiveness of dialogue models have been proposed. For
task-based interaction, typical measures of effectiveness are
time-to-completion and task outcome, but the evaluation should focus on user
satisfaction rather than on arbitrary effectiveness measurements.Indeed, the
problems faced in current approaches to measurement of effectiveness
dialogue models and systems include:
Direct measures are unhelpful because efficient performance on the nominal
task may not represent the most effective interaction
Indirect measures usually rely on judgment and are vulnerable to weak
relationships between the inputs and outputs
Subjective measures are unreliable and domain-specific
For its first day, the workshop organizers solicit papers on these issues,
with particular emphasis on methods that go beyond usability testing to
address the underlying dialogue model. Representative questions to be
addressed include:
o How do we deal with the combinatorial explosion
of dialogue states?
o How can satisfaction be measured with respect to
underlying dialogue models?
o Are there useful direct measures of dialogue properties
that do not depend on task efficiency?
o What is the role of agent-based simulation in
evaluation of dialogue models?
Of course, the problems faced in evaluating dialogue and system models are
found in other domains of language engineering, even for non-interactive
processes such as part-of-speech tagging, parsing, semantic disambiguation,
information extration, speech transcription, and audio document indexing. So
the issue of evaluation can be viewed at a more generic level, raising
fundamental, theoretical questions such as:
o What are the interest and benefits of evaluation
for language engineering?
o Do we really need these specific methodologies,
since a form of evaluation sould always be present
in any scientific investigation?
o If evaluation is needed in language engineering, is
it the case for all domains?
o What form should it take? Technology evaluation
(task-oriented in laboratory environment) or
field/user Evaluation (complete systems in real-life
conditions)?
We have seen before that the the evaluation of dialogue models is still
unsolved, but for domains where metrics already exists, are they
satisfactory and sufficient? How can we take into account or abstract from
the subjective factor introduced by human operators in the process?
Do similarity measures and standards offer appropriate answers to this
problem? Most of the efforts focus on evaluating process, but what about the
issue of language resources evaluation?
For its second day of work, the workshop organizers solicit papers on these
issues, with the intent to address the problem of evaluation both from a
broader perspective (including novel applications domains for evaluation,
new metrics for known tasks and resource evaluation) and a more theoretical
point of view (including formal theory of evaluation and infrastructural
needs of language engineering).

cast01: Symposium on Communication of Art, Science and Technology
We invite you to participate in the cast01 symposium on intersections of
artistic, cultural, technological and scientific issues of:
Living in Mixed Realities
What does it mean to live, play and work in a world shaped and perceived
through digital media, networks and architectures of real-virtual space?
The development of complex communication spaces, life environments and
economic models is an interplay of technical, social, and artistic
forces - Mixed Realities of Art, Science and Technology.
The design of a Mixed Reality Architecture, which connects processes in
virtual space to the social environments and cultural practices of real
places, presents challenges to technologists, scientists and artists
alike. In such an architecture the basic design elements are networked
structures for new forms of collaborative work and knowledge discovery,
human-centred interaction and awareness, media spaces and advanced
interfaces.
At cast01 scientists will present technologies and infrastructures that
address these challenges. Artists will present aesthetic concepts of
digital culture and new interactive media formats. cast01 is an
invitation for a discussion between artistic practices and the forefront
of research and development of information technologies.
cast01 is organised by netzspannung.org and by the GMD - German National
Research Center for Information Technology. It is supported by the
German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (bmb+f) and by the
European Commission.

(Submission deadline: March 15, 2001)
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. 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. Most
importantly of all, computational semantics seems to have 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 Workshop on Inference in Computational Semantics (ICoS) intends to
bring researchers from areas such as Computational Linguistics,
Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, and Logic together, in
order to discuss approaches and applications of Inference in natural
language semantics.

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
ACL/EACL Workshop on
Sharing Tools and Resources for Research and Education
Co-organised by ELSNET
Toulouse, Saturday 7th July 2001
BACKGROUND:
At a workshop at ACL 2000 in Hong Kong dedicated to Infrastructures
for Global Collaboration there was an agreement between the main
professional organisations in NLP and Speech (ACL and ISCA), and
ELSNET, and the other meeting participants, that it would be useful to
aim at a broadly supported, joint repository or catalogue for tools
and materials for the language and speech communities.
An ELSNET-sponsored workshop on educational issues held at EACL99
concluded that certain non-transient infrastructures needed to be
instigated to raise the public perception of educational issues in
NLP. It also concluded that a repository of shared materials,
appropriately indexed for educational usage, would be a useful point
of departure.
This workshop will build on the consensus reached at these previous
workshops. There will be two clear foci: one upon instruments for
sharing tools and resources in general that addresses practical
problems, and the other upon the technological and infrastructural
issues surrounding the educational uses of repositories.

WORKSHOP ON HUMAN LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY
AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
ACL/EACL 2001 Conference
Toulouse, France
July 6-7, 2001
Human language technologies promise solutions to challenges in human
computer interaction, information access, and knowledge management.
Advances in technology areas such as indexing, retrieval, transcription,
extraction, translation, and summarization offer new capabilities for
learning, playing and conducting business. This includes enhanced
awareness, creation and dissemination of enterprise expertise and know-how.
This workshop aims to bring together the community of computational
linguists working in a range of areas (e.g., speech and language
processing, translation, summarization, multimedia presentation, content
extraction, dialog tracking) both to report advances in human language
technology, their application to knowledge management and to establish a
road map for the Human Language Technologies for the next decade. The road
map will comprise an analysis of the present situation, a vision of where
we want to be in ten years from now, and a number of intermediate
milestones that would help in setting intermediate goals and in measuring
our progress towards our goals.
