ASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS
30th Annual Meeting
28 June -- 2 July 1992
Clayton Hall, University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware, USA
The program for the Annual Meeting itself, which will take place
on 29 June to 2 July, features papers on all aspects of computational
linguistics. Two invited lectures will be given during the meeting:
``Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval, and All That''
by Karen Sparck Jones, Cambridge University, and Martin Kay, Xerox
PARC and Stanford University; and ``Reflections and Projections''
by Don Walker, Bellcore and ACL. In addition, there are a special
set of Student Sessions featuring papers that describe `work in
progress' so that students can receive feedback from other members
of the computational linguistics community.
The Annual Meeting is preceded on 28 June by a set of tutorials:
``Statistics for Computational Linguists'' by William A. Gale and
Joseph B. Kruskal; ``Leading Issues in Tree Adjunction'' by Yves
Schabes and Stuart Shieber; ``Very Large Text Corpora: What You
Can Do with Them, and How to Do It'' by Mark Liberman and Mitch
Marcus; and ``Situation Semantics'' by Keith Devlin.
The ACL Business Meeting will feature reports on the ACL Special
Interest Groups, the ACL Data Collection Initiative, the Consortium
for Lexical Research, the Text Encoding Initiative, the new Graduate
Directory, the new Computational Linguistics Course Survey, the
NLP Software Registry, the Linguistic Data Consortium, and other
topics of current interest.
There will also be an informal gathering to discuss multimedia language
processing.

TUTORIALS
Sunday, 28 June 1992, 2:00-5:30
STATISTICS FOR COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTS
William A. Gale and Joseph B. Kruskal, AT&T Bell Laboratories
As linguistic corpora get larger, computational linguists are turning
increasingly to statistical techniques. This tutorial focusses on
statistical techniques that have been useful in linguistic research,
being careful to avoid those that have not been. For each method we
review its strengths and weaknesses, and the conditions under which it
it may or may not be used. The tutorial provides references to
statistical texts, but does NOT include mathematical derivations.
Graphical displays are used where possible to show the qualitative
behavior of methods.
The review starts with some very basic tools, such as methods for
estimating the frequency of a token (word or n-gram), especially in
the important but subtle case when the token has not occurred in the
training sample. We emphasize the sometimes underappreciated
importance of uncertainty (variability, standard deviation) of
estimates. The foundations of the Bayesian approach to statistics are
reviewed, because the approach has been found useful in such widely
different contexts as author identification, information retrieval,
and sense disambiguation. A general orientation to such broadly useful
tools as clustering, factor analysis/principal components analysis,
and multidimensional scaling is included.
LEADING ISSUES IN TREE ADJUNCTION
Yves Schabes, University of Pennsylvania & Stuart Shieber, Harvard University
The use of an adjunction operation on elementary trees as the
primitive operation of a grammar formalism was first proposed by
Joshi, Levy, and Takahashi in the mid 1970's. Since then, a series
of formalisms based on tree adjunction, under the name tree-adjoining
grammars (TAG), have been defined and their properties explored.
Certain attractive properties of tree-adjoining grammars have led to
their being proposed as solutions to a wide variety of
natural-language-processing problems.
In this tutorial, we will focus on leading issues in the use of
tree adjunction and tree-adjoining grammars for computational
linguistic applications. After reviewing the basic concepts of
TAGs and some standard grammatical analyses making use of the
mechanisms, the tutorial will focus on the following issues of
currency in the TAG research community (and on the associated
formalisms and methods): (1) lexicalization of TAGS (lexicalized
TAGs); (2) mechanisms for specifying grammatical constraints
(adjoining constraints and feature-based TAGs); (3) relation between
syntactic and semantic structure (synchronous TAGs); (4) statistical
modeling with TAGs (stochastic TAGs); (5) TAG parsing algorithms.
We will describe how these issues bear on several computational
applications of TAGs, including: grammatical analysis, semantic
interpretation, tactical generation, machine translation, and
statistical language modeling.
TUTORIALS
Monday, 29 June 1992, 9:00-12:30
VERY LARGE TEXT CORPORA: WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THEM, AND HOW TO DO IT
Mark Liberman and Mitch Marcus, University of Pennsylvania
This tutorial aims to give researchers who are interested in working
with large text corpora the information and the resources they need
to get started. We will discuss: (1) what corpora are available,
and how to get them; (2) practical, legal and technical issues in
getting new material; (3) availability of annotated corpora;
(4) software for simple linguistic annotation of unrestricted text --
lemmatizers, taggers, parsers -- what is available, and how to
create your own; (5) how to do efficient machine-aided annotation;
(6) how to index and search large (annotated or plain) corpora
efficiently; (7) examples of research based on large corpora.
Discussion of the design and implementation of a sample of useful
and available software will be featured. We will provide a
bibliography and a guide to available corpora and software.
SITUATION SEMANTICS
Keith Devlin, Colby College
Situation semantics is a mathematically-based semantics, grounded
in situation theory. Introduced by Barwise and Perry in the early
1980s, both situation theory and situation semantics have developed
considerably since the appearance of their 1983 book ``Situations
and Attitudes.'' The current `standard text' is my own book
``Logic and Information,'' published by Cambridge University
Press in 1991. The tutorial will be based on that reference.
I will begin with a brief overview of situation theory, explaining
how it provides a framework for a general theory of information.
Although situation theory is a mathematical theory, it does not
presuppose any substantial mathematical prerequisites, though some
mathematical sophistication enables a greater appreciation of
various parts of the situation-theoretic ontology. This will be
followed by an introduction to situation semantics, covering the
relational theory of word and sentence meaning. Specific topics
to be covered in addition to the basic framework are definite
descriptions and conditionals. Time permitting we will also look
at how situation theory can be used to handle the way speaker and
listener make use of social knowledge in natural language interaction,
and possible applications of situation theory to the design of
interactive information systems.

MULTIMEDIA LANGUAGE PROCESSING
TUESDAY, 30 JUNE, 10:15-10:45
There will be a short informal gathering at the first break on
Tuesday morning for those interested in computational linguistic
approaches to multimedia language processing. The purpose of the
meeting is to create an intitial mailing list as well as to discuss
the possibilities of creating a new ACL SIG and holding a workshop
in 1993. A first cut at relevant research areas is the following,
where nonverbal media would include sound, graphics, animation,
and video: (1) Linguistic representations for nonverbal media at
morphological, syntactic, semantic, and discourse levels; (2)
Analysis and generation algorithms for nonverbal media; (3)
Integration of verbal with nonverbal media at representational and
processing levels; (4) Criteria for selection of media at design
time or real time.
There are many relevant application areas for methods based on
computational linguistic approaches to multimedia including mixing
nonverbal with verbal media in interface dialogues; retrieval of
offline nonverbal or multimodal information; data extraction from
nonverbal or multimodal sources; nonverbal or multimodal simulations
from verbal descriptions; information visualization; multimodal
authoring and presentation; and so on.
