FLAIRS-96 Special Track
Real-World Natural Language Understanding
Natural language processing (NLP) has been a central topic of study in
artificial intelligence and cognitive science for decades. Recently,
there has been much interest in developing robust natural language
processing systems. These systems go beyond the micro-worlds of
limited complexity that many early systems dealt with and confront the
issue of building scaled-up systems capable of dealing with "real"
language. We call this capability "Real-World Natural Language
Understanding" (RNLU).
Two aspects of RNLU set it apart from traditional NLP, as denoted by
the terms "real-world" and "understanding". First, RNLU concentrates
on real-world texts (as opposed to researcher-generated sentences).
Language processing is situated in the world of real texts, allowing
RNLU to leverage off certain characteristics of such texts which
provide a basis for scale-up. These characteristics include:
o Redundancy. This enables the reader to be less than perfect as
information is likely to appear in multiple locations.
o Active engagement of the text by the reader. This means that the
reader engages the text to the fullest level possible, given the
reader's interest, cognitive load, and current goals. This also
allows the reader to skim or skip material that is not relevant to
the reader's goals.
o Narrative agreement. The author of a text is assumed to be
attempting to communicate a set of ideas to the reader. The text
provides numerous affordances for the goal of comprehension.
The other important characteristic of RNLU is "understanding." RNLU
strives for some high level of comprehension from the texts being
read. Exactly what this level needs to be varies from task to task,
but simple syntactic parsing or keyword-based information extraction
is usually insufficient for real-world natural language communication
at a level comparable to human language abilities. RNLU exploits a
range of information present in natural language texts, as well as
background information known to the author and reader, in order to
achieve a suitable depth of comprehension of the text.
This track will bring together researchers in several areas, including
traditional NLP, statistical NLP and situated NLP, with a common goal
of building AI systems that can achieve real comprehension of actual
texts. Multiple disciplines and perspectives will be represented,
providing a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and advance the
field. The track will highlight theoretical research in natural
language processing as well as practical attempts to build scaled-up
natural language processing systems. Finally, insofar as RNLU defines
both the promise of NLP as well as its next challenge, this track will
also help to better define the boundaries and potential of RNLU.
Call for papers
Interested researchers are invited to send an extended abstract of no
more than 2000 words to kennethm@cc.gatech.edu. Accepted authors will
be asked to submit a five-page paper detailing the work.
Format of the track
The track will be run as two technical sessions of presentations, each
followed by an invited speaker acting as a general discussant. Group
discussion will be strongly encouraged. The sessions will be
organized either as talk sessions or as focussed poster sessions,
depending on the number of accepted submissions. In either case,
after the presentations, authors will sit on a panel for a general
discussion led by the invited speaker.
Important Dates
o Oct 16, 1995 -- Abstract submission deadline
o December 1995 -- Notices mailed to accepted/rejected authors
o Mar 18, 1996 -- Final (camera ready) papers due

------------------------------------
ECAI-96: CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
------------------------------------
12th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence
August 12-16, 1996
Budapest, Hungary
The ECAI-96 Program Committee invites proposals for the Workshop
Program for ECAI-96, which is to be held in Budapest, Hungary, August
12-16, 1996. The workshops for ECAI-96 will be held in the period 12th
- 13th August, immediately prior to the start of the main conference.
Gathering in an informal setting, workshop participants will have the
opportunity to meet and discuss selected technical topics in an
atmosphere which fosters the active exchange of ideas among
researchers and practitioners. Members from all segments of the AI
community are invited to submit proposals for review.
To encourage interaction and a broad exchange of ideas, the workshops
will be kept small, preferably under 30 participants and certainly
under 40. Attendance should be limited to active participants
only. Workshops are intended to be genuinely interactive events and
not mini-conferences. Thus, although the format of workshop
presentations will be determined by the organizers proposing the
workshop, ample time must be allotted for general
discussion. Workshops can vary in length, but most will last a full
day. Attendees at workshops MUST register for the main ECAI
conference.
-------------------------------------
Submission Details
-------------------------------------
Proposals for workshops should be between two and three pages in length,
and should contain:
- A brief but technical description of the workshop identifying specific
technical issues that will be its focus.
- A discussion of why the workshop is of interest at this time.
- The names, postal addresses, phone numbers and email addresses
of the Organizing Committee, which should consist of three or four people
knowledgeable in the field but not all at the same institution.
- The name of one member of the Organizing Committee who is designated
the primary contact, this being someone with an email address.
- A list of previously-organized related workshops organized by any of the
Organizing Committee. This is to help the Workshop Chair put the
workshop in context (previous experience with similar workshops is not
required).
- If possible, a list of tentatively confirmed attendees.
- A proposed schedule for organizing the workshop and a preliminary
agenda.
- A description of how the organizers intend to encourage a workshop,
rather than a mini-conference, atmosphere.
Proposers are encouraged to send their draft proposal to potential
participants for comments before submission. Proposals should be
submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII text as soon as possible,
but no later than November 1, 1995. Organizers will be notified of the
committee's decision no later than December 1, 1995. A summary of
accepted workshops with contact addresses will be available on the
ECAI webserver after 15th December 1995.
Workshop organizers will be responsible for:
- Producing and distributing a Call for Participation in the workshop,
open to all members of the AI community. The Call for Participation should
make it clear that all workshop participants are expected to register
for the main ECAI conference and that the number of participants is limited.
It should also make clear the process by which the Organizing Committee
will select the participants.
- Reviewing requests to participate in the workshop and selecting the
participants.
- By December 1, 1996, preparing a review of the workshop for possible
publication and sending it to the workshop coordinator.
Workshop organizers will be sent a set of guidelines for the preparation of
any working notes. They must provide the local arrangement office with the
following materials by June 3, 1996:
- A provisional list of workshop participants.
- Any working notes to be duplicated for the workshop, up to a total of 120
pages per participant.
- A list of audio-visual requirements and any special room requirements.
Workshop organizers must provide the local arrangement office with a final
list of workshop participants by July 29, 1996.
ECAI will be responsible for:
- Providing logistical support and a meeting place for the workshop.
- In conjunction with the organizers, determining the workshop date
and time.
- Duplicating working notes as described above and distributing them
to the participants.
ECAI encourages the production of publications based on the workshops, but
the ECAI name cannot be used on such publications without prior permission
being given. ECAI reserves the right to cancel any workshop if deadlines
are missed.
To cover costs, it will be necessary to charge a fee of ECU 50 for
each participant of each workshop in addition to the normal ECAI-96
conference registration fee.

2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Computer
Theme Issue on
Interactive Natural Language Processing
Computer has planned to devote the July 1996 issue to Interactive
Natural Language Processing. Manuscripts reporting survey, original
research, design and development, and applications of Interactive
Natural Language Processing are sought immediately in the following
areas:
+ Speech Understanding and Generation Platforms
+ Natural Language Interfaces and User Interface Management Systems
+ Dialog/Discourse Management and Story Understanding Environments
+ Interactive Machine Translation systems (and Translator's Workbenches)
+ Intelligent Writing Agents
Papers on successful large-scale natural language processing systems,
integrated speech and natural language understanding applications,
dialog management and story understanding systems, and toolbeds for
developing such applications are especially desired.
The particular focus of this theme issue is the special considerations
in theory and practice of "real-time" processing of natural language as
opposed to "batch-mode" processing. How do the theoretical and
processing assumptions differ when the input stream is "live", thus
increasing the emphasis on response time and throughput? What are the
trade-offs? What are the mechanisms (symbolic, statistical,
connectionist, hybrid)? Finally, what are the strategies that enable
interactive natural language processing to either be effected or
finessed?
Instructions for Submitting Manuscripts:
Manuscripts should be no longer than 20 double spaced, single sided
pages, including all text, figures, and references. No more than 12
references should be cited. Papers must not have been previously
published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts
should have a title page that includes: the title of the paper, full
name, affiliation, physical address, electronic address, and telephone
numbers of all of the authors, a 100 to 150 word abstract, and, a list
of keywords that identify the central issues of the manuscript's
content.
Deadlines:
+ 100 to 150 word abstract of the manuscript September 19, 1995
+ Seven copies of the manuscript December 19, 1995
+ Notification of decisions April 1996

ASSOCIATION FOR LITERARY AND LINGUISTIC COMPUTING
ASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTERS AND THE HUMANITIES
JOINT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ALLC-ACH '96
JUNE 25-29, 1996
UNIVERSITY OF BERGEN, NORWAY
CALL FOR PAPERS
This conference -- the major forum for literary, linguistic and humanities
computing -- will highlight the development of new computing methodologies
for research and teaching in the humanities, the development of significant
new computer-based resources for humanities research, especially focusing on
developing applications.
TOPICS: The Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing and the
Association for Computing and the Humanities invite submissions
on topics and applications focused on the humanities disciplines,
such as: languages and
literature, history, philosophy, music, art, linguistics, anthropology and
archaeology, creative writing, cultural studies, etc. We are interested in
receiving technical proposals that focus on the cutting edge issues of the
application of scientific tools and approaches to humanities disciplines;
discipline-based proposals that focus on some of the more traditionally
defined applications of computing in humanities disciplines, including text
encoding, hypertext, text corpora, computational lexicography, statistical
models, and syntactic, semantic, stylistic and other forms of text
analysis; broad library and research-based proposals that focus on
significant issues of text documentation and information retrieval; and
tools-focused proposals that offer innovative and substantial applications
and uses for humanities-based teaching and research, throughout the
academic and research worlds. Submissions on humanities computing in
developing countries and software/courses/courseware in undergraduate
education are welcomed.
The official language is English.
The deadline for submissions is 30 NOVEMBER 1995.
REQUIREMENTS: Proposals should describe substantial and original work.
Those that concentrate on the development of new computing methodologies
should make clear how the methodologies are applied to research and/or
teaching in the humanities, and should include some critical assessment of
the application of those methodologies in the humanities. Those that
concentrate on a particular application in the humanities (e.g., a study of
the style of an author) should cite traditional as well as computer-based
approaches to the problem and should include some critical assessment of
the computing methodologies used. All proposals should include conclusions
and references to important sources.
INDIVIDUAL PAPERS: Abstracts of 1500-2000 words should be submitted for
presentations of thirty minutes including questions.
SESSIONS: Proposals for sessions (90 minutes) are also invited. These
should take the form of either:
(a) Three papers. The session organizer should submit a 500-word statement
describing the session topic, include abstracts of 1000-1500 words for each
paper, and indicate that each author is willing to participate in the
session; or
(b) A panel of up to six speakers. The panel organizer should submit an
abstract of 1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will be
organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that each
speaker is willing to participate in the session.
POSTERS AND DEMONSTRATIONS
ALLC-ACH '96 will include poster presentations and software and project
demonstrations (either stand-alone or in conjunction with poster
presentations) to give researchers an opportunity to present late-breaking
results, significant work in progress, well-defined problems, or research
that is best communicated in conversational mode.
By definition, poster presentations are less formal and more interactive
than a standard talk. Poster presenters will have the opportunity to
exchange ideas one-on-one with attendees and to discuss their work in
detail with those most deeply interested in the same topic. Posters are
actually several large pieces of paper that present an overview of a topic
or a problem. Poster presenters are given space to display two or three
posters, and may provide handouts with examples or more detailed
information.
Poster presenters must be present at their posters at a specific time
during the conference to describe their work and answer questions, but
posters will remain displayed throughout the conference.
Specific times will also
be assigned for software or project demonstrations. Further information on
poster presentations is available from the Program Committee chair.
Posters proposals and software and project demonstrations will be accepted
until January 15, 1996 to provide an opportunity for submitting very
current work that need not be written up in a full paper. Poster or
software/project demonstration proposals should contain a 300 to 500 word
abstract in the same format described below for paper proposals. Proposals
for software or project demonstrations should indicate the type of
hardware that would be required if the proposal is accepted.
Doctoral students are encouraged to consider poster submission as a viable
means for discussing ongoing dissertation research.
As part of its commitment to promote the development and application
of appropriate computing in humanities scholarship, the
Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing
will award up to five bursaries of up to 500 GB pounds each
to students and young scholars who have papers accepted
for presentation at the conference. Applicants must be members of ALLC,
and must be aged 30 years or less at the start of the conference.
Those wishing to be considered for an award should indicate this in
their conference proposal. The ALLC will make the awards
after the Programme Committee have decided which proposals are to be
accepted. Recipients will be notified as soon as
possible thereafter. A participant in a multi-author paper is eligible
for an award, but it must be clear that s/he is contributing
substantially to the paper.
FORMAT OF SUBMISSIONS
Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged. Please pay particular
attention to the format given below. Submissions which do not conform to
this format will be returned to the authors for reformatting, or may not be
considered if they arrive very close to the deadline.

the city of Bergen. Hosting this conference, the Norwegian Computing
Centre for the Humanities was founded in 1972 and is located at the
University of Bergen.
Bergen, Norways second largest city with a population of 220,000, was founded in
1071 according to the sagas. The city was an important Hanseatic trading
centre and has retained an international profile that dates back to the
early Middle Ages.
There are direct flights to Bergen from Copenhagen, London, Oslo, and
Paris. There is also a train connection with Oslo, and a ferry between
Newcastle and Bergen.
Hotel rooms in different price ranges will be available within walking
distance from the conference center, and economically priced student
accommodation will be available outside central Bergen.
It is expected at this time that the fee for early registration for the
conference will be in the US$125 to US$150 range, with an additional
late registration fee.
Detailed information about the conference will be made available in January
or February of 1996.
