FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
(EMNLP/VLC-2000) JOINT SIGDAT CONFERENCE ON
EMPIRICAL METHODS IN NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING AND
VERY LARGE CORPORA
Sponsored by SIGDAT (ACL's Special Interest Group for Linguistic Data
and Corpus-based Approaches to NLP)
October 7-8, 2000
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
In conjunction with
ACL-2000: The 38th Annual Meeting of the
Association for Computational Linguistics
This conference aims to bring together academic researchers and
industrial practitioners to discuss empirical and corpus-based natural
language processing through technical paper sessions, invited talks,
and panel discussions. Topics of interest include (but are not
limited to):
* statistical parsing
* language and dialog models
* machine translation
* information retrieval
* information extraction
* comparative evaluation of empirical vs. rule- and knowledge-based
technologies
* lexical acquisition
* statistical language understanding
* phrase identification
* noun phrase coreference
* question answering
* word sense disambiguation
* word and term segmentation and extraction
* alignment
* bilingual lexicon extraction
* text categorization
This year, we are especially interested in papers discussing these
topics in the context of web-oriented applications.
