CALL FOR PAPERS
PACLING '93
1st Pacific Association for Computational Linguistics Conference
(formerly JAJSNLP, the Japan-Australia Joint
Symposia on Natural Language Processing)
April 21-24 (Wed-Sat) 1993
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
HISTORY AND AIMS
PACLING (= Pacific Association for Computational LINGuistics) has grown out of
the very successful Japan-Australia joint symposia on natural language
processing (NLP) held in November 1989 in Melbourne, Australia and in October
1991 in Iizuka City, Japan.
PACLING '93 will be a low-profile, high-quality, workshop-oriented meeting
whose aim is to promote friendly scientific relations among Pacific Rim
countries, with emphasis on interdisciplinary scientific exchange showing
openness towards good research falling outside current dominant "schools of
thought," and on technological transfer within the Pacific region.
The conference is a unique forum for scientific and technological exchange,
being smaller than ACL, COLING or Applied NLP, and also more regional with
extensive representation from the Western Pacific (as well as the Eastern).
TRANSCENDING LANGUAGE BOUNDARIES
The theme of PACLING '93 is "transcending language boundaries" by:
o facilitating communication between speakers of different languages --
e.g., with machine translation and computer-aided language learning,
o going beyond limitations of natural language as a communicative medium --
the conference has a particular interest in the theory and practice of
natural-language centred multi-modal architectures, systems, interfaces
and design issues, not only in work that improves existing computational
linguistic techniques, but also in computational (or computationally
oriented) research for complementing the communicative strengths of
natural language and overcoming its weaknesses.
TOPICS
Original papers are invited on any topic in computational linguistics (and
strongly related areas) including (but not limited to) the following:
Language subjects:
text, speech;
pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax, the lexicon, morphology,
phonology, phonetics;
language and communication channels, e.g., touch, movement, vision, sound;
language and input/output devices, e.g., keyboards, menus, touch screens,
mice, light pens, graphics (including animation);
language and context, e.g., from the subject domain, discourse, spatial
and temporal deixis.
Approaches and architectures:
computational linguistic, multi-modal but natural-language centred;
formal, knowledge-based, statistical, connectionist;
dialogue, user, belief or other model-based;
parallel/serial processing.
Applications:
text and message understanding and generation, language translation
and translation aids, language learning and learning aids;
question-answering systems and interfaces to multi-media databases
(text, audio/video, (geo)graphic);
terminals for Asian and other languages, user interfaces;
natural language-based software.
SUBMISSIONS
Authors should prepare full papers, in English, of not more than 5000 words
including references, approximately 20 double-spaced pages. The title page
must include: author's name, postal address, e-mail address (if applicable),
telephone and fax numbers; a brief 100-200 word summary; some key words for

Subject: Announcement: Alvey Natural Language Tools (3rd Release)
THE ALVEY NATURAL LANGUAGE TOOLS (RELEASE 3)
BASIC DESCRIPTION AND DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS
A third release of the Alvey Natural Language Tools (ANLT) is now
available. The UK Alvey Programme originally funded three projects at
the Universities of Cambridge, Edinburgh and Lancaster to provide
tools for use in natural language processing research. The DTI and
SERC has funded their continued support and enhancement. The tools, a
MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSER, PARSERS and a GRAMMAR and LEXICON, are usable
individually as well as together (integrated by a GRAMMAR DEVELOPMENT
ENVIRONMENT) forming a complete system for the morphological,
syntactic and semantic analysis of a considerable subset of English.
DISTRIBUTION
The ANLT system is available by anonymous FTP from Cambridge
University, Computer Laboratory. The files containing grammars,
lexicons and source code are encrypted, however, reports describing
the system, specimen licence agreement and other information is not.
If after examining the documentation, you wish to purchase a licence
for use of the system for research purposes, you should complete and
sign the specimen agreement and return it together with a cheque for
the amount specified in the agreement (currently 500 ECU -- 100 ECU
upgrade -- or local currency equivalent) to:
Lynxvale WCIU Programs
20 Trumpington St.
Cambridge, CB2 1QA, UK
Fax: +223 332797
On receipt Lynxvale will send you (by letter) the key which can be used
in conjunction with the software provided to decrypt the remaining
files.
DESCRIPTION
The MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSER provides a set of mechanisms for the
analysis of complex word forms. The analyser requires data files
specifying a lexicon of base morphemes, rules governing spelling
changes when concatenating morphemes, and rules describing valid
combinations of morphemes in complex words. The tools include a
description of English morphology in this form. The analyser should be
capable, though, when provided with the necessary linguistic analyses,
of being used for most European languages and many others.
There are two alternative PARSERS. The main one is an optimized chart
parser, incorporating a 'packing' mechanism (making it much more
efficient when parsing sentences containing multiple local
ambiguities). The other parser is a non-deterministic LALR(1) parser
which seems, in most cases, to be even more efficient than the chart
parser.
The GRAMMAR is a wide-coverage syntactic and semantic grammar of
English, written in a metagrammatical formalism derived from
Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar. Full coverage is provided of the
following constructions and their combinations:
- all sentence types: declaratives, imperatives and questions (yes/no,
tag and wh questions),
- all unbounded dependency types: topicalisation, relativisation, wh
questions,
- a relatively exhaustive treatment of verb and adjective complement
types,
- phrasal and prepositional verbs of many complement types,
- passivisation, verb phrase extraposition,
- sentence and verb phrase modification,
- noun phrase complements,
- noun phrase pre- and post-modification,
- partitives,
- coordination of all major category types,
- nominal and adjectival comparatives.
The LEXICON contains 40,000 homonyms (63,000 entries in total) in the
form required by the morphological analyser.
The GRAMMAR DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT gives access to all of the other
components of the tools, allowing grammars to be input, edited, and
browsed; it also compiles them into the base grammatical formalism
used by the parsers, and provides extensive grammar debugging
facilities. A simple quantifier scoping and post-processing module is
supplied as an example of how the result of parsing a sentence can be
converted into a representation suitable for further semantic and
pragmatic processing.
All of the software components are written in Common Lisp and have
been tested in several implementations on a wide range of machines.
Some published references to these projects can be found in:
Briscoe, E., C. Grover, B. Boguraev & J. Carroll, 'A Formalism and
Environment for the Development of a Large Grammar of English',
Proceedings of 10th International Joint Conference on Artificial
Intelligence, Milan, 1987, pp. 703-708.
Ritchie, G., G. Russell, A. Black & S. Pulman, 'Computational
Morphology: Practical Mechanisms for the English Lexicon', MIT Press,

Technical reports describing the system in detail are available via
FTP as detailed in the file `instruct' (and Annex A of the licence
agreement).
********************
ANLT distribution arrangements and instructions, and a machine-readable
specimen licence agreement are available in files on the FTP server
ftp.cl.cam.ac.uk (128.232.0.56).
To fetch this information use anonymous FTP (login with user name
anonymous, and password your e-mail address), go to the directory
`nltools', and fetch the files
licence a machine-readable specimen licence agreement
instruct instructions on how to FTP technical reports and the ANLT itself
The following example shows how to fetch these files:
$ ftp ftp.cl.cam.ac.uk
Connected to swan.cl.cam.ac.uk.
220- swan.cl.cam.ac.uk FTP server (Version 5.60+UA) ready.
...
Name (ftp.cl.cam.ac.uk:jac): anonymous
Password (ftp.cl.cam.ac.uk:anonymous): <type your e-mail address here>
...
ftp> cd nltools
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> get licence
...
ftp> get instruct
...
ftp> quit
221 Goodbye.
(The $ is the Unix shell command prompt). If the FTP command does not
know about the address ftp.cl.cam.ac.uk, try giving the command the
internet number (128.232.0.56) instead. If you still have problems, or
FTP is not available to you, then you can obtain the ANLT on magnetic
tape by writing to Lynxvale WCIU Programs at the address given above
(specifying the type of tape and format you require).

What is COMPULOG-NET?
- --------------------
COMPULOG-NET is the Network of Excellence in Computational Logic
supported by the ESPRIT Program of the Commission of the European
Communities (CEC). Its scientific objective is to lay the
foundations of an integrated software environment for building
knowledge-based applications, by extending the logic programming
paradigm with enhancements from the areas of databases, artificial
intelligence and logic.
Europe pioneered the field of Logic Programming, and still retains
an important position in this field. The Network in Computational
Logic builds upon this strength and creates a European community of
researchers with shared long term goals and a common technical
basis. The main functions of COMPULOG-NET are to coordinate research
activities, to facilitate cooperation and to promote dissemination
and exploitation of results by industry.
Since its foundation in February 1991, over fifty nodes including
leading universities and industrial organisations have become
involved.
The Logic Programming Summer School LPSS '92, focussing on
industrial applications, is organised on behalf of COMPULOG-NET by
two of its nodes: European Computer-Industry Research Centre (ECRC)
and the Institut fuer Informatik of the University of Zurich
Objectives of the Logic Programming Summer School
- ------------------------------------------------
In the early 1970's Colmerauer in Marseille and Kowalski in
Edinburgh demonstrated that logic can be used as an efficient
programming language, and the first Prolog interpreter was
implemented by the Marseille group. These activities were the
beginning of the new field of Logic Programming.
The main emphasis of Logic Programming has been on databases,
computer linguistics, knowledge representation, specifications,
prototyping, expert systems, planning, and problem solving.
Moreover, Logic Programming has strong relationships with other
computing technologies such as functional programming, object-
oriented programming, and relational databases. Nowadays, Prolog
implementations have advanced sufficiently that Prolog can be used
directly as a very high-level application programming language.
Logic Programming offers a new approach to developing and
maintaining complex applications, particularly when symbolic
information is being manipulated. Many organisations are already
benefiting from the reduced software costs offered by this
technology. They are finding that Logic Programming offers the right
approach to develop sophisticated applications.
The general objectives of the Summer School LPSS '92 are to make
Logic Programming more widely known to industrial and commercial
users. Participants will receive in-depth tuition about different
aspects of Logic Programming from some of the leading practitioners
in the field. Detailed project presentations will focus on
experiences of using Logic Programming for developing innovative
applications. Demonstrations, poster sessions and a small exhibition
serve to complement the presentations.
The Summer School offers participants a unique opportunity to
discuss their specific problems with the best specialists in the
domain of Logic Programming, and to develop the know-how to be able
to evaluate and apply this new technology within their own
organisations.
The Logic Programming Summer School is designed specifically for the
needs of computer professionals in industry and commerce. All those
involved in developing, evaluating, approving or introducing
leading-edge computer technology can benefit. Decision-makers and
strategists can gain insights that will enable them to make valued
judgements.
Participation
- ------------
The Logic Programming Summer School is suitable for everyone wanting
to understand the basic technology and how it can be applied in
practice. In order to ensure that participants are able to get the
maximum benefit from the tutorials and project presentations,
background reading material and reference lists will be distributed
well in advance. To encourage interaction and personal contacts, the
number of participants is strictly limited. Applicants should
complete the attached form and return it as quickly as possible to
guarantee a place.
Program
- ------
The program of the Logic Programming Summer School consists of
tutorials and of projects presentations addressing the following
fields: knowledge-based systems, constraint handling, deductive
databases, processing of natural and formal languages, software
engineering, planning and scheduling.
Researchers well-known in the Logic Programming community will give
tutorials in their fields of expertise and introduce into the
project presentations. While most of the tutorials presume some
knowledge of the respective fields, there will be one introductory
tutorial for participants with no or little knowledge in logic
programming.
Groups from industry and from research institutions will present
their projects. There will be ample time for detailed accounts of
the projects, for demonstrations, and for discussions.
Here is an overview of the program.
