Introduction
The 19th Conference of the Spanish Society for Natural Language Processing
(SEPLN) will take place on September 10-12, 2003 in Alcal de Henares
(Madrid, Spain). As in previous editions, the aim of SEPLN for this
Conference is to promote the dissemination of research, development and
innovation activities conducted by Spanish and foreign researchers in the
field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). The conference will provide a
forum for discussion and communication to facilitate an effective exchange
of knowledge and scientific materials that are necessary for promoting the
publication of relevant work and the establishment of means of
collaboration with national and international Institutions that are active
in this field.
Objectives
The main motivation of this conference is to provide the business and
scientific communities with an ideal forum for presenting their latest
research work and developments in the field of Natural Language Processing,
as well as to demonstrate the possibilities offered by these solutions and
to know about new projects. Consequently, the 19th SEPLN Conference is a
meeting place for presenting results and exchanging ideas concerning the
present state of development in this field of knowledge.
Furthermore, there is the intention of meeting the goal, achieved in
previous editions, of identifying future paths for basic research and
foreseen software applications, in order to compare them against the market
needs. Finally, the conference intends to be an appropriate forum in
helping new professionals to become active members in this field.
Topics
Researchers and businesses are encouraged to send communications, project
abstracts or demonstrations related to any of the following topics:
Linguistic, mathematic and psycholinguistic models of language
Corpus linguistics
Monolingual and multilingual information extraction and retrieval
Formalisms and grammars for morphological and syntactical analysis
Computational Lexicography
Monolingual and multilingual text generation
Machine translation
Speech synthesis and recognition
Semantics, pragmatics and discourse
Word sense disambiguation
NLP industrial applications
Automatic textual content analysis

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT
and
CALL for PARTICIPATION
The 11th ELSNET Summer School on Language and Speech Communication
Topic: Language and Speech Technology in Language Learning
Lille (France), Monday July 7 - Friday July 18, 2003
Organized by the University of Lille 3
We are happy to announce that registration for the 11th ELSNET Summer
School is now open. For this school we have chosen a topic of great
relevance to researchers and developers in Europe and in other
multilingual environments: the use of language and speech technology
in language learning, both of spoken and of written language. The goal
of this workshop is to get young researchers on a track that will
eventually contribute to an important application area. The underlying
vision (or dream) is The automatic animated language tutor.
+ Audience and aims:
We see the school as mainly research and development oriented, and
hence the primary audience are researchers, developers and integrators
who will make our vision happen (rather than teachers who would use
it). Both technological and pedagogical aspects will be taken into
consideration
The aims are:
* to make the students familiar with the main principles and
problems of language learning/teaching
* to make them familiar with current best practice in computer
assisted language learning
* to make them familiar with the main challenges in computer
assisted language learning
Participants are expected to have a general computational background
and some familiarity with language or speech research and/or
processing. After completion of the summer school participants should
be able to function in teams aimed at designing or implementing tools,
environments or courses for Computer Assisted Language Learning
(abbreviated CALL).
