FOCUS AND NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING
Interdisciplinary Conference in Celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the
Journal of Semantics
Schloss Wolfsbrunnen, near Kassel, Germany
12th-15th June, 1994
Some of the more important developments in Natural Language Semantics during the last ten years have taken place in the study of discourse. This development has made clear, however, that the complexity and the amount of data relevant in processing discourse are greater than formal and computationally tractable approaches could cope with. There is a great need to find ways of partitioning the data according to the informational requirements of particular processing steps, i.e., for one or the other form of focusing.
Focusing in this sense has probably first caught general attention in connection with presupposition and anaphora, but the phenomenon is much more widely spread. For no actual occurrence of a lexical item in a discourse do we need or want the full information that the lexicon and conceptual representation offer; the discourse context, together with the syntactic context, will rather focus on a particular subset of the available information. Similarly in the inferential processes required in text processing we will never want access to the entire database, but a theorem prover will need to be provided with just the right set of premises; not just in order to be more efficient, but merely to yield correct results.
What makes focusing particularly promising is that it has fairly clear correlates in syntactic and phonological observations, as well as in cognitive processes.
SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE
We are interested in theoretical papers as well as in studies of specific data. Computational approaches are welcome, from Computational Linguistics as well as Artificial Intelligence; so are straightforward linguistic approaches and psycholinguistic work.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
accessibility of discourse entities
structure of lexical information
topic-comment structure
presuppositional structure
centering
plans and goals in discourse
point of view, relevance
thematic discourse structure
segmentation of discourse
structuring and partitioning of conceptual representations
intonation focus
syntactic focus
focus particles
quantification and focus
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Intending participants are invited to submit a two to three page extended abstract,
to arrive by 4th February 1994 to the Conference Chair. Email submission is welcome, but only in ASCII format.

KDD-94: AAAI Workshop on Knowledge Discovery in Databases
Seattle, Washington, July 31-August 1, 1994
===========================================
Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) is an area of common interest for
researchers in machine learning, machine discovery, statistics, intelligent
databases, knowledge acquisition, data visualization and expert systems. The
rapid growth of data and information created a need and an opportunity for
extracting knowledge from databases, and both researchers and application
developers have been responding to that need. KDD applications have been
developed for astronomy, biology, finance, insurance, marketing, medicine,
and many other fields. Core Problems in KDD include representation issues,
search complexity, the use of prior knowledge, and statistical inference.
This workshop will continue in the tradition of the 1989, 1991, and 1993 KDD
workshops by bringing together researchers and application developers from
different areas, and focusing on unifying themes such as the use of domain
knowledge, managing uncertainty, interactive (human-oriented) presentation,
and applications. The topics of interest include:
Applications of KDD Techniques
Interactive Data Exploration and Discovery
Foundational Issues and Core Problems in KDD
Machine Learning/Discovery in Large Databases
Data and Knowledge Visualization
Data and Dimensionality Reduction in Large Databases
Use of Domain Knowledge and Re-use of Discovered Knowledge
Functional Dependency and Dependency Networks
Discovery of Statistical and Probabilistic models
Integrated Discovery Systems and Theories
Managing Uncertainty in Data and Knowledge
Machine Discovery and Security and Privacy Issues
We also invite working demonstrations of discovery systems. The workshop
program will include invited talks, a demo and poster session, and panel
discussions. To encourage active discussion, workshop participation will be
limited. The workshop proceedings will be published by AAAI. As in previous
KDD Workshops, a selected set of papers from this workshop will be considered
for publication in journal special issues and as chapters in a book.
Please submit 5 *hardcopies* of a short paper (a maximum of 12 single-spaced
pages, 1 inch margins, and 12pt font, cover page must show author(s) full
address and E-MAIL and include 200 word abstract + 5 keywords) to reach the
workshop chairman on or before March 1, 1994.

Subject: CFP: Ninth Knowledge-Based Software Engineering Conference (KBSE'94)
Preliminary Call For Papers
The Ninth Knowledge-Based Software Engineering Conference (KBSE '94)
20 -- 23 September 1994
Monterey, California
The Knowledge-Based Software Engineering Conferences provides a forum
for exchanging results and new ideas regarding the application of
knowledge-based techniques to software engineering. Knowledge-based
tools typically rely on explicit representations of knowledge about
application domains, designs, processes, etc. and support the
application of these representations to software engineering
activities.
KBSE '94 invites contributions describing basic research, novel
applications, working systems, and experience with applying
knowledge-based techniques in support of software artifacts and
processes. Authors should submit 5 copies of papers to the Program
Chair by 1 April 1994. Papers should be limited to 5000 words,
full-page figures being counted as 300 words. Each paper must include
a short abstract and list of keywords. Proposals for panels,
demonstrations, and tutorials should also be sent to the Program Chair
by 1 April 1994. Notifications of acceptance or rejection will be
sent by 1 June 1994.
Ten years ago Rome Laboratories (then called the Rome Air Development
Center) released a report prepared by a committee of distinguished
computer scientists that outlined a bold research program called the
``Knowledge-Based Software Assistant'' (KBSA). The program envisioned
an integrated software development environment with knowledge-based
tools supporting all facets of the software lifecycle and project
management. Significant advances have been made towards this goal
over the last decade. This year's conference will feature discussions
of the KBSA vision by some of the original authors.

CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION
AAAI-94 Workshop on the
Integration of Natural Language and Vision Processing
Twelfth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-94)
Seattle, Washington, USA
2 days during July 31st-August 4th 1994
Chair:
Paul Mc Kevitt
Department of Computer Science
University of Sheffield
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
There has been a recent move towards considering the integration of
perception sources in Artificial Intelligence (AI) (see Dennett 1991
and Mc Kevitt (Guest Ed.) 1994). This workshop will focus on research
involved in the integration of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and
Vision Processing (VP).
Although there has been much progress in developing theories, models
and systems in the areas of NLP and VP there has been little progress
on integrating these two subareas of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
It is not clear why there has not already been much activity in
integrating NLP and VP. Is it because of the long-time reductionist
trend in science up until the recent emphasis on chaos theory,
non-linear systems, and emergent behaviour? Or, is it because the
people who have tended to work on NLP tend to be in other Departments,
or of a different ilk, to those who have worked on VP?
We believe it is high time to bring together NLP and VP. Already we
have advertised a call for papers for a special issue of the Journal
of AI Review to focus on the integration of NLP and VP and we have had
a tremendous response. There will be three special issues focussing
on theory and applications of NLP and VP. Also, there will be an issue
focussing on intelligent multimedia systems.
The workshop is of particular interest at this time because research
in NLP and VP have advanced to the stage that they can each benefit
from integrated approaches. Also, such integration is important as
people in NLP and VP can gain insight from each others' work.

WORKSHOP TOPICS:
The workshop will focus on three themes:
* Theoretical issues on integrated NLP and VP
* Systems exhibiting integrated NLP and VP
* Intelligent multimedia involving NLP and VP
The following issues will be focussed upon during the workshop:
* Common representations for NLP and VP
* How does NLP help VP and vice-versa?
* What does integration buy us?
* Symbolic versus connectionist models
* Varieties of communication between NLP and VP processors
* Designs for integrating NLP + VP
* Tools for integrating NLP + VP
* Possible applications of integration
WORKSHOP FORMAT:
Our intention is to have as much discussion as possible during the
workshop and to stress panel sessions and discussion rather than
having formal paper presentations. We will also organize a number of
presentations on Site Descriptions of ongoing work on NLP + VP. There
may be a number of invited speakers.

CALL FOR PAPERS
We invite papers dealing with functional approaches to spoken
and written discourse in institutional contexts. The papers
should report on empirical research (corpus-based or experi-
mental), but need not apply the systemic-functional framework.
Institutional contexts include the following: business (tele-
phone conversations, informal talk, letters, meetings), education
(academic language, classroom interaction), medicine, technology,
the media, etc. Papers on more general topics will be welcome as
well, insofar as they are in some way relevant to the general
workshop theme.
Since all sessions will be of a plenary nature, active
participation will be limited to about 30 oral papers; limited
space will be available for anyone wishing to attend without
presenting a paper. In the event of an exceptionally large
number of high quality papers being submitted, there will also
be a poster session on 9 August. The deadline for the submission
of a one-page abstract is 31 March 1994. Authors of accepted
proposals will be notified before 15 May.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The registration fee for the workshop will be BEF 2,500
(approx. $75 or 50 Pounds Sterling) including lunches on 9, 10
and 11 August (BEF 3,000 for registration after 1 July).
A choice of simple student hostel accommodation (at approx.
BEF 700 ($20; 13 Pounds Sterling) per night incl. breakfast)
or hotel accommodation (at approx. BEF 2,000 for a single, and
BEF 2,500 for a double room) will be available within walking
distance of the workshop. The workshop will be held at the
UFSIA campus, one of the three confederate campuses of the
University of Antwerp, which is situated right in the centre
of Antwerp, within easy reach of the Central Railway Station.
Antwerp is situated about 65 km from Ghent and 50 km from
Brussels, with direct train and coach links from Brussels
International Airport. We would like to draw attention to
the fact that ISFW6 is scheduled right after ISFC94 in Ghent.
