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)
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.

---------------------------------------------------------
We cordially invite you to participate in the 34th Colloquium
of Linguistics which will take place at the Johannes Gutenberg-
Universitaet Mainz, Faculty of Applied Linguistics and Cultural
Studies, Germersheim, from September 7 to September 10, 1999.
The motto of this year's conference will be "Linguistics on the
Way into the New Millennium". Continuing the tradition of the
colloquium, there will be no restrictions regarding the choice
of topics. The conference languages are English, German, and
French. Presentations should not exceed 30 minutes which includes
10 minutes of discussion. The deadline for abstracts is May 31,
1999. A volume of abstracts will be available at the conference.
The proceedings with the full papers will be published after the
conference with Peter Lang-Verlag.
In a break with tradition, this year's conference program will
be supplemented by a number of tutorials. Each tutorial comprises
three hours and is intended to give a concise introduction to a
specific field for audiences with a different focus of research.

March 25-26
School of Architecture
University of Virginia
The School of Architecture will host a symposium March 25 - 27, entitled
"Sites of Memory: Landscapes of Race and Ideology." Through presentations
and public discussion this symposium will explore the historic and
contemporary effects of race upon the development of the built environment,
examining the realities and myths of America's dual racial landscapes.
Randall Kenan, author of "Walking on Water: Black Lives at the Turn of the
Twenty-First Century" will give the Keynote Address, Thursday, March 25,
1999 at 6 p.m. The Keynote Address is presented in association with the
Fifth Annual Virginia Festival of the Book. The symposium is free and open
to the public. Advance registration is recommended.

ACL-99 Workshop
Unsupervised Learning in Natural Language Processing
University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA
June 21st, 1999
http://www.ai.sri.com/~kehler/unsup-acl-99.html
Endorsed by the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)
Special Interest Group on Natural Language Learning (SIGNLL)
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Many of the successes achieved from using learning techniques in
natural language processing (NLP) have utilized the supervised
paradigm, in which models are trained from data annotated with the
target concepts to be learned. For instance, the target concepts in
language modeling for speech recognition are words, and thus raw text
corpora suffice. The first successful part-of-speech taggers were
made possible by the existence of the Brown corpus (Francis, 1964), a
million-word data set which was laboriously hand-tagged a quarter of a
century prior. Finally, progress in statistical parsing required the
development of the Penn Treebank data set (Marcus et al. 1993), the
result of many staff years of effort. While it is worthwhile to
utilize annotated data when it is available, the future success of
learning for natural language systems cannot depend on a paradigm
requiring that large, annotated data sets be created for each new
problem or application. The costs of annotation are prohibitively
time and expertise intensive, and the resulting corpora are too
susceptible to restriction to a particular domain, application, or
genre.

The NMSU Computing Research Laboratory Presents
The 1999 Summer School in Language Engineering
June 28-July 9
The 1999 Summer School in Language Engineering is designed for the
practical computational linguist or natural language processing
specialist.
The program of the school stresses practical needs of application system
builders in such areas as machine translation, information retrieval and
extraction and text summarization. It stresses the broad range of
multilingual aspects of today's language engineering, from the support
for the various writing systems to acquisition of linguistic knowledge
for applications to languages that have not yet been widely studied.
The summer school is organized by the Computing Research Laboratory
(CRL) of New Mexico State University. The instructors, both members of
CRL staff and visiting professors, are all leaders in their respective
areas of expertise.
The school will feature two full weeks of instruction and hands-on
practical studies. The number of students in the school will be small,
keeping a high instructor-to-student ratio. Registrants will be accepted
on a first-come first-served basis. Preregistration and fees must be
received no later than June 1.
