AMTA-94:
"Technology Partnerships for Crossing the Language Barrier"
Columbia, Maryland
5-8 October 1994
SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
The Association for Machine Translation in the Americas (AMTA) is
proud to announce its first regular conference, to be held on 6-8 October
1994 at the Columbia Inn in Columbia, Maryland. Focusing on the theme
"Technology Partnerships for Crossing the Language Barrier," AMTA-94
will bring together users, vendors, developers, and researchers to hear
about the latest developments in machine translation (MT) and related
technology. In so doing, it will set the stage for partnerships to meet
today's challenges in interlingual communication. Concurrent sessions
will offer something for everyone--and pose hard choices. Along with a rich
variety of exhibits and demonstrations running throughout the conference,
panels and presentations on 6-8 October will cover:
PC MT Systems MT Evaluation
Workstation MT Systems Speech MT
Translator Workstations Assessment of
MT Needs
MT & Desktop Publishing Knowledge-based MT
MT economics Statistical MT
Assessing Translatability Dictionaries and MT
Current Solutions Corpus
Cooperation
Future Directions in MT
Some of these topics will also be the subject of special interest groups.
In addition, preconference tutorials on 5 October will take a look at
"Choosing an MT System" and "Intellectual Property Rights."
Participation in all these areas is invited. Suggestions and proposals
for papers (extended abstracts up to 10 pages) or panels should be
submitted in electronic form to Eduard Hovy, Program Co-chair, at
hovy@isi.edu. The deadline for papers has been extended to 15 July;
authors will be notified of acceptance by mid-August. Proposals for
demonstrations and exhibits should be addressed to Bill Fry,
Exhibits and Demonstrations Coordinator, fax (703) 998-5709.
Conference Chair: Muriel Vasconcellos
Program Co-chairs: Eduard Hovy, Joseph Pentheroudakis
Exhibits and Demonstrations Coordinator: Bill Fry

Natural Language Software Registry
* * * ****
Dear Netters,
the Natural Language Software Registry (NLSR) is pleased to announce
the availability of its famous Registry on the DFKI Beta Online Research
3W Server.
The URL is:
http://cl-www.dfki.uni-sb.de/cl/registry/draft.html
The NATURAL LANGUAGE SOFTWARE REGISTRY is a concise summary of the capabilities
and sources of language processing software available to researchers. It
comprises academic, commercial, and proprietary software, with theory,
specifications, and terms on which it can be acquired clearly indicated.
The second edition contains about one hundred software descriptions.
If you have written a system dealing with natural language and if you want
to contribute to the third version of our registry (which can make your work
popular since it is distributed all over the world), you'll have to fill
in the text questionnaire which is also available on the Web server.
Soon, there will be an implementation of an ** interactive questionnaire **
in order to give you a user friendly tool to contribute to our Registry.
The document and the questionnaire are also available by anonymous ftp to
- ftp.dfki.uni-sb.de (directory: pub/registry),
- crlftp.nmsu.edu (directory: pub/non-lexical/NL_Software_Registry)
- dri.cornell.edu (directory: /pub/Natural_Language_Software_Registry/

Date: 20 Jun 1994 17:00:27 GMT
Federal Agency
Begins Monumental OCR & Textual Analysis Effort;
SEEKS PARTNER(s)
Under the direction of a major federal agency, two national
laboratories have cooperatively initiated a survey and
analysis effort with the ultimate goal of purchasing and/or
cooperatively developing a system for the automatic
processing of documents. This multi-year effort is intended
to provide a suite of products that would then be used to
recognize and interpret nearly one billion documents.
Information regarding aggressive programs and development
efforts is being sought from U.S. companies, individuals,
colleges, universities, laboratories and government
agencies in the areas of advanced optical character
recognition (OCR) development and advanced textual analysis
for the purpose of possible future partnerships. In
addition, information regarding particular accomplishments
in the following areas is desired: techniques to improve
OCR speed and accuracy, on-line analysis software to
analyze English language text (natural language processing)
for phrases based on an associated database of related
concepts; on-line English language lexicons and thesauruses
suitable for adaptation within a text analysis software
package; and user interface software that facilitates
on-line updating of database search and analysis criteria
(machine learning) within English language text analysis
systems.At this time, the initial project survey team is
seeking any and all information relating to work being done
in these areas. The team is requesting that respondents
submit a one- or two-page Expression of Interest and any
printed literature, descriptions or product brochures
germane to this effort. In particular, the requested
Expression of Interest should include the following
information, if possible:
o Company or organization name
o Mailing address, phone numbers (preferably
marketing and technical contacts) and fax number
o Man-years devoted to this effort
o General qualifications of key personnel
o Organization's technical goal(s)
o Expected completion date of product/project
o Product name (if any)
o Projected hardware platform
o Project retail price
o Special product capabilities and features
o Special techniques being examined or used
Do not include proprietary information. It is requested
that this information be faxed, mailed or Emailed no later
than July 15, 1994 to:
Advanced OCR and Textual Analysis Project
