Back issues are available from host archive.cs.rpi.edu [128.213.3.18] in
the files nl-kr/Vxx/Nyy (ie nl-kr/V01/N01 for V1#1), mail requests will
not be promptly satisfied. Starting with V9, there is a subject index
in the file INDEX. If you can't reach `cs.rpi.edu' you may want
to use `turing.cs.rpi.edu' instead.
BITNET subscribers: we now have a LISTSERVer for nl-kr.
You may send submissions to NL-KR@RPITSVM
and any listserv-style administrative requests to LISTSERV@RPITSVM.

Subject: RESPONSE TO QUERY: algorithms to split words into morphemes
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1993 11:27:12 +1000
A great deal was done some 30 years ago by a Soviet
scientist, B.V. Sukhotin. He proposed, in the early
sixties, an algorithm for breaking up a continuous
text into its constituent morphemes (properly: morphs).
I tried it in 1977 on English and on Asmat (a language
of Papua-New Guinea). Fiddling with his objective
function yielded visibly better results. No-one
was interested in such research in those days at the
university where I was, so I did not pursue it.
A translation of that particular algorithm was published
by T.A. Informations, No.2, 1973 under the title
"Algorithme de de'composition d'un texte en morphe`mes".
For the Russian original, see B.V. Sukhotin:
Algoritmy lingvisticheskoj deshifrovki, in "Problemy
strukturnoj lingvisitki", 1963

Program Committee
=================
The international program committee will consist of
approximately 40 members from all main fields of AI and
from Cognitive Science.
We invite researchers from the various areas of Artificial
Intelligence, Cognitive Science and Pattern Recognition,
including Vision, Learning, Knowledge Representation and
Foundations, to submit articles which assess or review the
progress made so far in their respective areas, as well as
the relevance of that progress to the whole enterprise of
AI. Other papers which do not address the theme are also
invited.
Feature
=======
Four 70 minute invited talks and five panel discussions are
devoted to the chosen topic: "Are we moving ahead: Lessons
from Computer Vision." The speakers include (in
alphabetical order)
* Lev Goldfarb
* Stephen Grossberg
* Robert Haralick
* Tomaso Poggio
Such a concentrated analysis of the area will be undertaken
for the first time. We feel that the "Lessons from Computer
Vision" are of relevance to the entire AI community.

Call for Participation
The American Society for Information Science Special Interest Group on
Classification Research (ASIS SIG/CR) invites submissions for the 4th ASIS
Classification Research Workshop, to be held at the 56th Annual Meeting of
ASIS in Columbus, Ohio. The workshop will take place Sunday, October 24th,
1993, 8:30 a.m. -5:00 p.m. ASIS '93 continues through Thursday, October
28th.
The CR Workshop is designed to be an exchange of ideas among active
researchers with interests in the creation, development, management,
representation, display, comparison, compatibility, theory, and application
of classification schemes. Emphasis will be on semantic classification, in
contrast to statistically based schemes. Topics include, but are not
limited to:
* Warrant for concepts in classification schemes * Concept acquisition *
Basis for semantic classes * Automated techniques to assist in creating
classification schemes * Statistical techniques used for developing
explicit semantic classes * Relations and their properties * Inheritance
and subsumption * Knowledge representation schemes * Classification
algorithms * Procedural knowledge in classification schemes * Reasoning
with classification schemes * Software for management of classification
schemes * Interfaces for displaying classification schemes * Data
structures and programming languages for classification schemes * Image
classification * Comparison and compatibility between classification
schemes * Applications such as subject analysis, natural language
understanding, information retrieval, expert systems *
The CR Workshop welcomes submissions from various disciplines. Those
interested in participating are invited to submit a short (1-2 page single-
spaced) position paper summarizing substantive work that has been conducted
in the above areas or other areas related to semantic classification
schemes, and a statement briefly outlining the reason for wanting to
participate in the workshop. Submissions may include background papers as
attachments. Participation will be of two kinds: presenter and regular
participant. Those selected as presenters will be invited to submit
expanded versions of their position papers and to speak to those papers in
brief presentations during the workshop. All position papers (both expanded
and short papers) will be published in proceedings to be distributed prior
to the workshop. The workshop registration fee is $35.00.
Submissions should be made by email, or diskette accompanied by paper copy,
or paper copy only (fax or postal), to arrive by May 15, 1993, to:
Phil Smith, 210 Baker Systems, 1971 Neil Avenue, Cognitive Systems
Engineering Laboratory, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210;
Phone: 614-292-4120; Fax: 614-292-7852, Internet: Phil+@osu.edu
