Subject: Query: pointers to text diff algorithms?
Date: Fri, 05 Jan 1996 10:41:28 -0600
Does anyone know of any pointers to techniques for performing
differnces determination on general text documents. I'm
most interested in fine-grain diffs - not line-by-line
diffs.
My current approach relies on several parameters: phrase size,
search distance and lookahead distance. While one can
accomplish a good diff by hand-selecting the parm values, I
would like to be able to better predict the settings needed or
use some altogether different approach (pardon the punn).
Thanks,
Horace

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION AND PAPERS
ECAI'96 WORKSHOP ONTOLOGICAL ENGINEERING
Held in conjunction with ECAI'96
Budapest, August 12 or 13, 1996
ORGANISED BY
Adam Farquhar (Stanford University, USA)
Asuncion Gomez-Perez (Technical University of Madrid, Spain)
Michael Gruninger (University of Toronto, Canada)
Mike Uschold (Artificial Intelligence Applications Institute,
Edinburgh, UK)
Paul van der Vet (chair, University of Twente, the Netherlands)
with additional reviewers
Harold Boley (German Research Institute for Artificial
Intelligence, Germany)
Nicolaas Mars (University of Twente, the Netherlands)
OBJECTIVE
The last few years have seen a growing interest in the design, use,
and sharing of ontologies. Work in this area naturally incorporates
formal knowledge representation with practical implemented
systems. Ontological engineering currently is a craft rather than a
science.
This workshop attempts to further the advent of more systematic design
practices. It will focus on practical experience in the design and
construction of ontologies in a variety of different domains.
Participants are asked to identify (even if only in retrospect) the
design decisions that underlie their ontologies. At the workshop
itself, the discussion will be aimed at identifying a suite of
principles, design decisions, and `rules of good practice' from which
other ontology designers may profit. The idea is not to come up with
the one and only recipe for designing ontologies. We rather expect
several systematic design practices, each with its own intended use.
This is a *workshop* rather than a mini-conference. We solicit papers
(see below), but at the workshop itself the stress is on sharing
experiences. There will be ample room for discussion. We expect all
participants to contribute to the discussion. At the end of the
workshop, we hope to be able to pin down some practices in a fairly
explicit way.
BACKGROUND
Recently, there have been workshops on ontologies at IJCAI (August
1995), LaJolla (Nov 1994), on implemented ontologies at ECAI-94 in
Amsterdam (August 1994), on knowledge sharing and information
interchange at IJCAI-93 in Chambery (August 1993), and the workshop on
formal ontology in Padova, Italy (March 1993). This workshop will
contribute to the continuum of current research, by focusing on the
practical aspects of ontology development and use including tools,
methodologies, and engineering practice.
At these workshops and in the published literature, ontologies are
called important or indispensable in designing and building
knowledge-based systems and in facilitating sharing and reuse of
knowledge resources. It is evident that quite a number of research
groups are building ontologies. It is less clear what design decisions
are taken and how they contribute to the success (or failure) of the
ontologies developed. Thus the danger of making the same mistakes over
and over again is as real as the danger of inventing the wheel at
several places simultaneously.
Development of an ontology is a laborious and therefore costly
process. The field would profit immensely if we could learn from each
other's successes and failures. One way to lay down the do's and
don't's is in the form of systematic design practices. With so many
groups working on the subject, it is possible to gather experiences
and start articulating systematic design practices.
CONTENT
To achieve this aim, the following issues need to be addressed:
- Can the practices followed by ontological engineers be articulated?
What lessons have people learned from the implementation of their
ontologies? Can these lessons be generalised?
- To clearly identify the various roles that implemented ontologies
may play. Do they support automated reasoning and problem-solving?
Are they used as an inter-lingua to achieve inter-operabilty, re-use,
or sharing? Are they used 'merely' to ensure communication of a shared
understanding between people?
- What tools are available to assist in the design and/or
implementation of ontologies? How do they compare with each other?
- To what extent are the ontologies designed in different domains
shareable and reusable? How can we structure ontologies to support
sharing and reuse?
- Is there a need for a suite of generic ontologies to support the
more domain-specific ontologies? If so, what are these generic
ontologies? Can they be related to existing standards and, if so, how?
- What are the obstacles to the integration of different ontologies?
Domains of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following:
- Medicine
- Natural Language
- Materials Science and Engineering
- Enterprise Modelling (including process modelling, product
modelling, and organization modelling).
STRUCTURE
The workshop will last a whole day, being either 12 or 13 August,
1996. No more than six slots for presentations are foreseen. Depending
on the number of papers and the issues they address, a slot contains
one or two presentations. At the workshop, a presentation differs from
reading a paper; rather, it is expected to raise important points for
discussion. The papers that are the basis of the presentations at the
workshop and the accompanying ontologies can be consulted at the
WWW-site of this workshop well in advance. Participants are invited to
consult this site before they join the workshop. The URL can be found
below.
REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION
IMPORTANT NOTE: workshop participants are required to register for the
main conference in addition to their registration for the workshop.
Participation to the workshop shall be limited to 35 persons. Persons
interested in participating are required to either:
- Submit a full technical paper, maximum 10 pages (including figures
and bibliography) that addresses one or more of the issues specified
above. In addition, every paper should be accompanied by at least one
ontology developed by the author(s) in some well-known format like
Ontolingua or a description logic. The code should be well documented.
- Submit a position paper of two pages maximum, explaining the
particular interest and the potential contribution to the workshop's
aim.
Papers will be reviewed by two independent reviewers. The review
process will obviously focus on how well the contribution addresses
the questions identified above and on clarity of exposition as regards
the design decisions taken, including their contribution to the
overall quality of the ontology.
TIMETABLE
For FULL PAPERS:
March 15, 1996
Deadline for submission of full papers (including the accompanying
ontology). Send three hard-copy submissions to the address mentioned
below or submit by email. Detailed instructions will become available
at the WWW-site listed below. In case of more than one author, be sure
to identify one corresponding author. For ease of communication, the
corresponding author is required to have an email address.
April 30, 1996
Review results returned to authors of full papers by email to the
corresponding authors.
June 1, 1995
Deadline for final full papers. Detailed instructions will be made
available well in advance, and in any case will accompany the positive
decision.

WORKSHOP
The Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines
Application to Building Digitial Libraries
* * *
Held in conjunction with
Digital Libraries'96
First ACM International Conference On Digital Libraries
* * *
The Text Encoding Initiative's (TEI) Guidelines for Electronic Text
Encoding and Interchange provide an extensive SGML-based scheme for
encoding electronic texts across a wide spectrum of text types and suitable
for any kind of application. Released in spring of 1994, the Guidelines
have already achieved wide-scale implementation in projects throughout
North America and Europe. This workshop is intended to provide a forum for
technical discussion and evaluation of the TEI Guidelines, as they have so
far been implemented in real applications, particularly those which have
relevance for building digital libraries.
This call solicits papers for a one-day workshop, to be held in conjunction
with Digital Libraries '96. The program will consist of several paper
presentations together with substantial time for discussion.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- reports on the use of the TEI scheme for a particular application, with a
focus on evaluation of the scheme to serve application needs
- technical discussion of particular encoding problems and (TEI or non-TEI)
solutions, for example, handling unusual or complex text types, multi-
media, multiple views or information types, multi-lingual data, etc.
- customization and extension of the TEI for particular applications and
text types, including proposals for use in the building of digital
libraries
- assessment, evaluation of the TEI DTD architecture, especially as it
serves the needs of building digital libraries
- technical and practical consideration for the design of tools to handle
documents encoded using the TEI or SGML generally
We also invite participation in the workshop by those who may not present a
paper, but who wish to be involved in discussion.

===================================================TARK VI: description.
Date: March 17 - 20, 1996.
Place: Renesse, Zeeland, The Netherlands
The mission of the bi-annual TARK conferences is to bring together researchers
from a wide variety of fields - including Artificial Intelligence,
Cryptography, Distributed Computing, Economics and Game Theory, Linguistics,
Philosophy, and Psychology - in order to further our understanding of
interdisciplinary issues involving formal reasoning about rationality and
knowledge. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, semantic
models for knowledge, for belief, and for uncertainty, bounded rationality and
resource-bounded reasoning, commonsense epistemic reasoning, knowledge and
action, applications of reasoning about knowledge and other mental states, and
belief revision. Previously a by-invitation-only conference, TARK is now open
to all interested attendees. TARK VI is the first to be held outside the
United States. It will take place March 17 - 20, 1996.
More information about TARK in general, and this conference
in particular, is available at WWW:
http://www.tark.org
http://www.cs.ruu.nl/docs/tark/
===================================================Conference location
Hotel `De Zeeuwse Stromen' is situated close to the coast of Zeeland.
Zeeland is one of the twelve provinces of the Netherlands and it
borders Belgium and the Northsea.
It is only a three minute walk from the hotel to the beach, which offers
great opportunities to stroll across beautiful and serene nature.
One of the main attractions of the area is the `Oosterscheldekering' (how
do the Dutch control the sea?), but also the old and monumental villages
Middelburg, Zierikzee and Veere are worth visiting.
The weather in March in the Netherlands is quite
unpredictable: there are days with sun, but it can also be rather chilly
and wet. Especially at the beach, a pull-over and a warm coat are
recommendable.
The hotel has lots of facilities: a large lounge with a
fireplace, a bar and a lovely winter-garden. The heated indoor-pool
is provided with a terrace, a sauna and a solarium. All the rooms have
a bathroom, telephone, alarm-clock, colour-t.v. and mini-bar.
In the surroundings of the hotel one can find tennis- and mini-golf-courts.
Finally, bikes can be rented at the reception-desk to explore the region.

Subject: Query: French langage inteligent systems
I'm looking for IA system which could understand and manipulate a
semantic architecture for french langage.
All system are speaking English. We have, here, a IA system which can
generate sentence in french based on a psychologic deduction (using BBT
theory of M. Achnicht Swizerland).
Is there something like this anywhere in the world ?
