Does anyone know of a public domain Prolog implementation of
Tomita's LR-parsing system (Tomita 1985)?
Thanks.

Source-Info: From (or Sender) name not authenticated.
I'm looking for implementations of categorial grammars, or any
applications that make use of categorial grammars. I've only studied
such grammars theoretically, so any information about programs will be
very much appreciated.
email please, and I'll summarise the replies I get. Thanks.

ANNOUNCING A NEW LIST
LINGUIST@UNIWA.UWA.OZ.AU
A new list has been formed, which will serve as a place of
discussion for those issues which concern the academic discipline of
linguistics and related fields. The list is international in orientation,
and hopes to provide a forum for the community of linguists as they exist
in different countries. Though the list is moderated, and all submissions
are subject to editorial discretion, it has no areal, ideological or
theoretical bent, and discussion of any linguistic subfield are welcomed.
Membership of the list is open to all.
To subscribe to this list, please send a message to
LINGUIST-REQUEST@UNIWA.UWA.OZ.AU containing as its first and only
line the following:
SUBSCRIBE LINGUIST
Any other questions may be directed to:

Subject: MT Evaluation Workshop: Call for Participation
Evaluators' Forum: Call for Participation.
The International Working Group on Evaluation of Machine Translation Systems
is organising a four day meeting from April 21st to 24th, 1991, for the
discussion of evaluation techniques.
The primary purpose of the meeting is to provide evaluators with a forum for
the exchange of experience and of views on effective techniques. The meeting
will therefore be structured around critical presentations of particular
techniques. In order to facilitate fruitful discussion, the number of
participants will be limited.
Participation is invited from those with past or present experience of
evaluation, and from those who expect to be involved in the evaluation of
machine (assisted) translation systems.
The meeting will be held in the Grand Hotel des Rasses, Ste. Croix, Vaud,
Switzerland. The hotel is situated on the balcony of the Jura mountains,
looking down on the lake of Neuchatel and across to the Alps. Access to
Yverdon, the nearest substantial town, is easy, with direct rail links from
Geneva and Zurich airports. From there a regular train service will take
participants to Ste. Croix in a little over half an hour. The hotel will
provide transport for the remaining short road journey.
The workshop fee is 750 Sfrs., which includes registration and documentation,
accommodation and all meals from dinner on the evening of Saturday April 20th
to lunch on Wednesday, April 24th., transport between the hotel and Ste. Croix
and access to all hotel facilities (swimming pool, tennis courts, mini-golf
etc.).
Intending participants should send a brief (2 page maximum) description of
their potential contribution by January 31st, 1991 to

CALL FOR PAPERS
Reversible Grammar in Natural Language Processing
17 June 1991
University of California
Berkeley, California, USA
A workshop sponsored by the
Special Interest Groups on Generation (SIGGEN) and Parsing (SIGPARSE)
of the
Association for Computational Linguistics
and supported by the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
TOPICS OF INTEREST: The purpose of this workshop is to bring together
researchers whose work concerns problems of reversible grammar
systems that are designed for, or may find applications in, Natural
Language Processing. Papers are invited on significant, original
and unpublished research on all aspects of reversible grammars,
including, but not limited to:
(1) Reversible computation (multi-directional and non-directional
computation; algorithms for program inversion and transformation;
efficiency issues);
(2) Reversible natural language systems (parsers and generators
for reversible grammars; reversibility of unification-based grammars;
new architectures for reversible natural language processing;
knowledge representation issues; reversible machine translation;
lexicons for bidirectional systems; reversibility in discourse
processing);
(3) Reversible grammars in linguistic theory (formal characterization;
reversibility within various grammatical frameworks, eg., GB, LFG,
GPSG, HPSG, TAG, categorial grammars; reversibility in rule-based
and principle-based approaches; reversibility and semantic
compositionality).
FORMAT OF SUBMISSION: Authors should submit four copies of their
papers in hard copy form. Papers should be a minimum of four pages
and a maximum of ten single-spaced pages (exclusive of references).
The title page should include the title, full names of all authors
and their complete addresses including electronic addresses where
applicable, and a short (5 line) summary. Submissions that do not

Subject: EJournal announcement, December 1990
X-Envelope-To: nl-kr@RPIECS.BITNET
_EJournal_ is an all-electronic, Bitnet/Internet distributed,
peer-reviewed, academic periodical. We are particularly interested in
theory and praxis surrounding the creation, transmission, storage,
interpretation, alteration and replication of electronic text. We are
also interested in the broader social, psychological, literary, economic
and pedagogical implications of computer-mediated networks. Texts that
address virtually any subject across this broad spectrum will be given
thoughtful consideration.
Members of the electronic-network community and others
interested in it make up a large portion of our audience. Therefore we
would be interested (for example) in essays about whether or not anyone
should own a communication that has been shared electronically, about
the pragmatics of cataloguing and indexing electronic publications,
about net-based collaborative learning, about artful uses of hypertext,
about the challenges that distance learning may offer to residential
campuses, about the role of The Matrix in cultural history and Utopian
polemic, about digitally recorded aleatoric fiction, about the
significance of resemblances between the electronic matrix and neural
systems, . . . and so forth.
The journal's essays will be available free to Bitnet/Internet
addresses. Recipients may make paper copies; _EJournal_ will provide
authenticated paper copy from our read-only archive for use by academic
deans or other supervisors. Individual essays, reviews, stories-- texts
- -sent to us will be disseminated to subscribers as soon as they have
been through the editorial process, which will also be "paperless." We
expect to offer access through libraries to our electronic Contents,
Abstracts, and Keywords, and to be indexed and abstracted in appropriate
places.
_EJournal_ is now soliciting essays for possible publication. We
will be happy to consider reviews, letters, and (eventually) annotations
that ought to accompany texts we have already published. We would be
happy to add interested specialists and generalists to our panel of
consulting editors.
Please send essays for review, and inquiries, to
ejournal@albnyvms.bitnet

GOAL
Over the past few years there has been increased interest in and
investigation into the utilization of multiple modes of communication
(e.g., textual, graphical, auditory) in intelligent interfaces.
Research in this area is in the formative stages and is just now
beginning to address difficult fundamental problems.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners to report on current advances in multimedia interface
systems and their underlying theories, to foster scientific
interchange among these individuals, and as a group to evaluate
current efforts and make recommendations for future investigations
into multimedia interface technology. A report on the workshop will
be submitted to AI Magazine.
