PARTICIPANT SYMPOSIA & WORKSHOPS
Participant symposia will be scheduled during the weekends of 9-10, 16-17, and
23-24 July). All participants registered for a minimum of 1 week may submit
1-page abstracts of papers to be presented during the open sessions that will
be organized on these dates. (The earlier requirement to supply long abstracts
has now been dropped.) Each participant whose paper is accepted will be
awarded a slot of 40 minutes (to include both talk and discussion).
In addition to these single-paper presentations, the weekend sessions will ac-
commodate also special workshops organized by registrants on cognitive-science
related themes. Individuals and groups of participants are encouraged to for-
mulate ideas for such workshops, which will typically consist of a series of
papers stretching over a 2 to 3-hour period. It is our intention to keep the
rules for such workshops as flexible as possible. They might include special
tutorials, panel-sessions, as well as groups of individual talks. Organizers
of workshops will receive scheduling and promotional assistance as necessary.
Please note that the deadlines for submission have been adjusted as follows:
1. deadline for receipt of one-page abstracts of single papers: 30 April 1994.
2. deadline for receipt of workshop proposals: 30 April 1994.
(Proposals for participant workshops should include title, a 10-line
description of the topic, together with a list of names of organizers and
of intended participants (if known).)
Only submissions to participant symposia that meet these deadlines will be
included within the official FISI participant symposium handbook. Subject
to time-table considerations, we may also accept additional submissions
received after these dates. Early submissions will be given priority.

Subject: Announcement: ACL-94 - Contributions Solicited for WWW Page
The Computing Research Laboratory at New Mexico State University is
pleased to host the 1994 meeting of the Association for Computational
Linguistics. As part of the conference, I am working on a World Wide
Web document which will include information on our lab, the
university, and the area in general. In addition to this, I would
like to include pointers to other web pages. Specifically, I am
looking for home pages of other AI/NLP labs, URLs for online text
corpora, dictionaries, NLP demos, linguistic software, or anything
else that may be of interest to a Computational Linguists audience.
If you of any addresses, please email them to me at: iverson@crl.nmsu.edu.
I will then incorporate them into our document.

Subject: Announcement: TimeGraph-II: temporal reasoning system available via FTP
TimeGraph-II
------------
TimeGraph II (TG-II) is an efficient system for reasoning about
temporal information which is now available to interested people
via anonymous FTP to cs.rochester.edu: files tg-ii.readme and
tg-ii-1.tar.gz in the directory /pub/knowledge-tools
TG-II handles the set of the relations of the Point Algebra and of the
Pointizable Interval Algebra. Temporal relations are represented
through a "timegraph", a graph partitioned into a collection of "time
chains" which are automatically structured for efficiency. The system
is scalable, in the sense that the storage tends to remain linear in
the number of relations asserted. Efficient query handling is achieved
through a time point numbering scheme and a "metagraph" data
structure. TG-II is written in Common Lisp.
For a description of the theory underlying the system see:
"Efficient Temporal Reasoning through Timegraphs",
Alfonso Gerevini and Lenhart Schubert, in Proceedings of IJCAI-93;
"Temporal Reasoning in TimeGraph I-II",
Alfonso Gerevini and Lenhart Schubert, SIGART Bulletin 4(3), 1993.
"Efficient Algorithms for Qualitative Reasoning about Time",
Alfonso Gerevini and Lenhart Schubert, Artificial Intelligece, to
appear; currently available as IRST Technical Report 9307-44, IRST
38050 Povo, TN Italy; or Technical Report 496, Computer Science
Department, University of Rochester, 14627 Rochester, USA.
A new version of TG-II which includes an algorithm for managing
disjunctions of point relations is in preparation. This extension
will allow the representation of a larger class of interval relations,
including in particular interval disjointness relations such as
"interval I before or after interval J".

TUTORIAL: A half day tutorial on computational phonology will be given
immediately before the ACL conference, on 27 June. It will introduce
computational phonology and to review some of the recent developments
in the field. For further information contact <Steven.Bird@ed.ac.uk>.
ACL INFORMATION: For other information on the ACL conference which
precedes the workshop and on the ACL more generally, please use the
ACL LISTSERV, described below.
ACL LISTSERV: LISTSERV is a facility to allow access to an electronic
document archive by electronic mail. The ACL LISTSERV has been set up
at Columbia University's Department of Computer Science. Requests from
the archive should be sent as e-mail messages to
listserv@cs.columbia.edu
with an empty subject field and the message body containing the
request command. The most useful requests are "help" for general help
on using LISTSERV, "index acl-l" for the current contents of the ACL
archive and "get acl-l <file>" to get a particular file named <file>
from the archive. For example, to get an ACL membership form, a
message with the following body should be sent:
get acl-l membership-form.txt
Answers to requests are returned by e-mail. Since the server may have
many requests for different archives to process, requests are queued
up and may take a while (say, overnight) to be fulfilled.
The ACL archive can also be accessed by anonymous FTP. Here is an
example of how to get the same file by FTP (user typein is
underlined):
$ ftp cs.columbia.edu

ABSTRACT:
We present an interlingual semantic representation
for the synthesis of morphological aspect of English and Russian
by standard back-propagation.
Grammatical meanings are represented symbolically and translated into a
binary representation.
Generalization is assessed by test sentences and by a translation
of the training sentences of the other language.
The results are relevant to machine translation in a hybrid systems approach
and to the study of linguistic category formation.
