    Some of the organizers of the most famous large scale evaluation programs for
    Speech and Language Technologies will present an overview of the issue of
    evaluation for Speech and Language processing. The questions that will be
    addresssed are:
    - How does evaluation relates with pre and post activities?
    - What are the interest and benefits of evaluation for language engineering?
    - What methodologies exists and how are they deployed?
    - Relationship with basic research, development and market prospection?
    - How is it deployed in the different domains (speech and text processing)?
    - What form should it take? Technology evaluation or field/user Evaluation?
    - What are the current open issues?
    - What metric exists? Are they satisfactory and sufficient?
    - How can we take into account or abstract from the subjective human factors?
    - What about language resources?
    Our aim is to reach high-level executive, decision makers, project managers
    but also developer and scientist who want to have a birds-eye view on
    Evaluation
    in Language Engineering presented by people who have been involved in
    practical
    deployement of large scale evaluation programs in language engineering in
    the past 10 years.
    The course contributors are: J. Mariani (MR/FR), H. Steenecken

    CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

    METHODS FOR MODALITIES 2 (M4M-1)

    Institute for Logic, Language and Computation
    University of Amsterdam
    November 29-30, 2001
    www.science.uva.nl/~m4m

    DEADLINE: October 12, 2001

    THEME
    The workshop Methods for Modalities' (M4M) aims to bring together
    researchers interested in developing proof tools and reasoning methods for
    modal logic broadly conceived, including description logic, hybrid logics,
    feature logic, temporal logic, etc.

    SPECIAL FEATURES
    To stimulate interaction and transfer of expertise, M4M will be centered
    around a number of long presentations by leading researchers; these
    presentations aim to provide both the general background and inside
    information in a number of key areas. To complement these, we are inviting
    submissions of short, focussed presentations aimed at highlighting
    new
    developments, and submissions of system demonstrations. M4M-2 is the second
    installment of this bi-anual workshop series.

    >An Introduction to XML Workshop
    >August 15-17, 2001
    >Charlottesville, VA
    >
    >Taught by seasoned SGML and XML developers from the Electronic
    >Text Center, the University of Virginia's internationally-renowned
    >internet library, this three-day workshop will engage in an
    >intensive study of XML with specific consideration of how XML is
    >used and might be used in the creation of digital content for
    >libraries. While there will be some lecture, the primary source
    >of learning will come from hands-on demonstration and
    >experimentation.
    >
    >Topics to be covered include:
    >
    >1. XML: what is it? how does it differ from SGML and HTML?
    >2. The basics of reading Document Type Definitions (DTD's) and
    >understanding the reasons for using them when constructing and
    >writing XML content.
    >3. Implementing methods of content transformation (including XSL
    >and cascading stylesheets) so the XML we build can be delivered,
    >read, and used in a variety of formats.
    >
    >Registration information is available at: http://db.arl.org/xml/
    >Price for the workshop is: ARL Members $795/Nonmembers $895
    >ARL is making arrangements with the Best Western Cavalier Inn
    >for accomodations. The workshop itself will take place at the
    >University of Virginia.

    NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES CONFERENCE

    Thursday 20 and Friday 21 September 2001

    Institute of Romance Studies, Senate House, Malet Street, LONDON, UK.

    Organisers Professor Michael Worton (UCL) and Professor Sandra Kemp (Royal
    College of Art)

    Conference website
    http://www.ucl.ac.uk/newtechnologies/
    About the conference
    This conference aims to explore the implications of the 'new technologies'
    in terms of both teaching and research and, crucially, in broader social
    and ethical terms. The conference will focus not on technical aspects, but
    on the wider issues of ethics, gender, cognition, and ideologies and,
    indeed, theologies of the object in the new virtual world.

    Major keynote speakers will present their latest thinking and there will
    also be workshop sessions led by eminent specialists on archiving,
    exhibiting and online teaching.

    The conference will provide an opportunity for the sharing of perspectives
    on the use and the implications of new technologies in research and
    teaching in the arts and humanities. It will also be an occasion for
    active participation in workshops and the sharing of good practice.
    Exhibition of new technologies
    An exhibition accompanying the conference will take place at University
    College London from 20-22 September. This will enable all conference
    participants to have hands-on experience of some successful projects in
    research, teaching and online exhibiting. The exhibition will also be open
    to students and members of the public.
