CALL FOR PAPERS
ECAI-96 WORKSHOP: CORPUS-ORIENTED SEMANTIC ANALYSIS
(Budapest, 12 or 13 August 1996)
In Computational Linguistics, the semantics of natural languages is
usually investigated from a rather formal perspective. Though these
studies have yielded a number of interesting results for several
semantic phenomena, it is not clear whether such formal semantic
theories can yet be used to automatically process real corpora. For
one thing, it is often not clear whether solutions proposed for
particular phenomena can be straightforwardly integrated to cope
with sentences/utterances containing several phenomena. Moreover,
semantic theories are often based on higher-order formal logics and
do not explicitly address the problem of efficient implementations.
Existing systems for processing large corpora, on the other hand,
tend to more or less neglect semantic issues. At best, such systems
use a thesaurus to overcome the most drastic shortcomings in simple
keyword-based approaches (e.g. for automatic text retrieval).
The workshop aims at gathering the various strands of works which
claim to obtain reasonable semantic depth while remaining, at least
in theory, tractable when dealing with realistic corpora. This is
only possible when the corpora concern restricted semantic domains,
and when the domain knowledge has been efficiently represented. The
success criterion should be the ability to entertain "intelligent
dialogues" about the content of the texts. We thus use the term
'semantics' in a rather broad sense, comprising aspects which are
also addressed in message or content extraction.
It is not necessary to have an implemented system, nor to be in the
process of building one, to participate to the workshop. But parti-
cipation will be limited to those who propose algorithmically effec-
tive solutions that can be integrated in a dialogue architecture.
We are also interested in the application of standard techniques in
large-corpora processing to semantic phenomena.

Subject: CFP: ECAI Workshop on Argumentation for Agent Comm., Aug 96, Budapest
Date: 15 Dec 1995 17:40:54 GMT
PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS
ECAI-96, Budapest (Hungary), August 12th, 1996
``Argumentation for Agent Communication''
With the increased sophistication of the tasks performed by computers and
the increased use of computers in collaborative settings, argumentation
has become an important component of the interaction between computers and
users. For example, Knowledge-based Systems must present arguments to
justify their recommendations, Intelligent Tutoring Systems need to
explain why a particular proposition is or isn't true, and negotiation
systems need to justify why a particular course of action is better than
some alternative.
Different disciplines, such as AI, Linguistics, Cognitive Science and
Philosophy, have provided models of argumentation that differ in their
approach and objectives. In this workshop we propose to examine how we can
make use of different viewpoints and insights from diverse disciplines.
In particular, we propose to address the following issues:
Computational models of argumentation --
Several computational models of argumentation have been presented in the
literature. Is there a generic computational argumentation model? If not,
what are the parameters that differentiate one model from another? Are
certain parameters more significant in one application than another?
Ways of presenting an argument --
An argument may be deductive or inductive. It may be presented by means of
text, graphics or a combination of modalities. Textual arguments may be
presented in different styles, e.g., counterfactual or illustrative. What
is the relationship between the style of the argument and the line of
reasoning used to reach a conclusion? Why should a particular line of
reasoning or a particular style be chosen in preference to another? How
does the type of argument affect the appropriateness of a modality and
vice versa?
Parameters that affect argumentation --
An argument may be presented to a software agent or a person, a novice or
an experienced user, an adult or a child. Arguments may be used in a
variety of contexts, where the context is characterized by parameters such
as the setting of the interaction, e.g., negotiation, instruction and
information providing, its urgency, and the relative standing of the
interacting agents. Arguments are also generated to achieve different
goals, e.g., convince an agent to perform an action, justify the
correctness of a proposition, and support a claim. How is the
argumentation model influenced by these (and possibly other) parameters?
Submissions are invited on original and substantial research that
addresses one or more of the above questions. In addition to AI
researchers, we would like to encourage researchers from allied
disciplines such as Linguistics, Psychology and Philosophy to present
their points of view. Accepted submissions will be published in workshop
notes that will be distributed to workshop attendees. After the workshop,
we intend to solicit revised versions of selected high-quality papers for
publication in a book.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Attendance at the workshop will be limited to 30 participants.
Participants will be selected on the basis of submitted papers (10 pages

humans and machines. Conference presentations range from basic
acoustic phonetic research to clinically oriented speech training
devices to speech-based natural language interfaces for man-machine
interaction. ICSLP 96 will feature technical sessions in both oral
and poster format, plenary talks, commercial exhibits, and daily
special sessions. In addition, satellite workshops will be held in
conjunction with the conference in the areas of interactive voice
technology, spoken dialogue, speech databases and speech I/O, and
the integration of gestures and speech. A new emphasis for ICSLP 96
will be on the clinical applications of speech technology, including
the use of speech technology based applications for persons with
disabilities.

CL Position Announcement: Tenure Track (open rank)
The Department of Linguistics and UMIACS (University of Maryland
Institute for Advanced Computer Studies) invite applications for a
position (open rank) in Computational Linguistics to begin in the Fall
semester of 1996. We seek candidates with established records of
research excellence who are interested in working on topics at the
interface of linguistic theory and computational modeling. The
candidate's work should complement research interests of current
faculty. Possible areas of interest include formal models of language
learning or models of the lexicon, syntactic or semantic components
that can be applied to computational problems such as automatic
acquisition of lexicons, parsing grammars, or semantic interpreters or
the implementation of these components for single language or cross
linguistic applications. Teaching experience is also desirable. Ph.D.
is required by August, 1996. For best consideration, applications
