WEB SITE ANNOUNCEMENT

'BEYOND THE HYPE'

A One-Day Colloquium to be held in the Oxford Union Debating Chamber

23rd April 1998

Organised by the Humanities Computing Unit Oxford University Computing Services

For the latest information on this event, please point your browsers to:

http://info.ox.ac.uk/oucs/humanities/events/beyondh/

Reminder: Set in the historic Debating Chamber at the Oxford Union, this one-day colloquium will address the challenges presented to teachers, librarians, and publishers by Computers and Information Technology. Taking the form of three short debates, the event will bring together both practitioners and visionaries in each field who will take stock of where we have come to, and assess what might lie on the horizon at this pivotal moment in the development and application of the new technologies. The debates will be appropriate to ALL subjects not just the humanities.

Workshop on Computational Approaches to Semitic Languages

COLING-ACL98

Sunday August 16, 1998, University of Montreal

Final Call for Papers ** Submission Deadline: April 6, 1998 ** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Although there exists a considerable body of CL research specifically targeted to Semitic languages, much of the work to date has been the result of initiatives undertaken by individual researchers or research establishments. A direct consequence is that there is comparatively little awareness amongst practitioners of either the state of the art as practiced outside their own locality, the common challenges faced by all practitioners, or the potential for developing a coordinated approach. The aims of this workshop are therefore:

* To provide a forum where current work in a broad range of subfields can be presented, collected and diffused. * To assess the state of the art with a view to identifying promising areas for future collaborative research. * To set up initiatives to explore the possibilities of supporting such research through national and international funding agencies.

SUBTOPICS

Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):

* Educational Applications * Empirical Methods * Orthographic Represention * Language Modelling * Language Resources * Lexicon and Lexical Represention * Machine Translation * Morphology and Phonology * Multilinguality * Syntax, Parsing and Generation * Speech Applications
