CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS
DAARC96 - Discourse Anaphora and Anaphor Resolution Colloquium
Lancaster University, UK, 17-18th July, 1996
IndiAna Workshop -
Lancaster University, UK, 19th July 1996.
Anaphora and anaphor resolution has received a great deal of attention
from workers in linguistics, computational linguistics, artificial
intelligence and information retrieval for a number of decades. This
aspect of natural language has proved a major challenge for all of
these fields, and a great many differing theories and solutions have
been proposed and implemented with varying degrees of success.
A need clearly exists for workers in the field of anaphora and anaphor
resolution to meet. Our hope is that such a meeting will allow all of the
different strands of work on anaphora to be identified, with a view to
producing an up-to-date review of the field that incorporates the many
changes that have taken place in this field in recent years.
For this reason, a Colloquium, DAARC96, will take place on 17th and
18th July, 1996 at Lancaster University, UK. The response to the last
call for papers was very high, and as a result we have been able to
put together a highly varied and interesting programme of events,
details of which appear below.
In conjunction with the DAARC96 Colloquium, we are pleased to announce the
running of a joint event, the IndiAna Workshop on Indirect Anaphora,
which will take place immediately after DAARC96. Details of the IndiAna
workshop appear below.
We would like to invite anyone interested in, or curious about,
discourse anaphora and anaphor resolution to participate in one or both
of these events. If you are interested, please fill in and return the
Registration Form below, along with your conference fee. This form
covers both events.

INDIANA WORKSHOP
===============
In immediate connection to the general sessions of the DAARC96
Colloquium, a workshop on indirect anaphora will take place. The
workshop will start in the morning of the 19th of July and will finish
on the same day.
The IndiAna Workshop focus on the issue of indirect anaphora in noun
phrase processing, where 'anaphora' implies a relation of dependence
between the noun phrase and preceding discourse, and 'indirect'
implies that the interpretation involves some kind of processing beyond
that of merely retrieving a discourse referent already introduced by
another noun phrase. Examples of indirect anaphora have been
discussed under various headings, such as associative anaphora,
inferrables, antecedent construal, discourse deixis, abstract object
anaphora, 'paycheck' sentences, plural anaphors with split antecedents,
etc. We think it is high time to bring together researchers working on
these different aspects of indirect anaphora and therefore welcome
contributions from all research areas connected to this topic.

From: K.Humphreys@dcs.shef.ac.uk (Kevin Humphreys)
Date: 06 Feb 1996 14:50:44 +0000
The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted as well.

Research Associateships
Applications are invited for 3 research posts in natural language
engineering tenable from 1 March 1996. One post is associated with a grant
from the UK Engineering and Physical Science Research Council on information
extraction and will be for 24 months. The other two projects are AVENTINUS,
an advanced multi-media multilingual data mining and information retrieval
system, and EURO-WORDNET, a European language version of the successful
Wordnet lexical database. Both appointments will be for 36 months.
Candidates should apply for either of the two information extraction posts
or the Wordnet post, and we shall conduct interviews for them jointly. Our
Eurpoean partners include Siemens, Thomson-LCR, and the Universities of
Rome, Fribourg, Gothenburg, and Athens. Some travel may be required.
Candidates should already have some research experience in computing and /
or computational linguistics / natural language processing. Experience with
computational lexicons and lexical networks, such as WordNet, would be
useful, particulary for the lexical post. Applications are particularly
sought from those currently completing relevant MSc or PhD programmes or
involved in post-doctoral research. Skills in C[++], Prolog, graphical
interface building (especially with Tcl / Tk), and the UNIX operating system
would also be an advantage.
Sheffield Computer Science is one of the leading centres of language
engineering research in the UK. Our work includes: information extraction
from electronic news and the internet; auto-generated grammatical and
lexical resources in support of large-scale text processing;
pragmatics-based dialogue systems for language-based human-computer
interaction. We have a large and increasing number of full-time research
staff and a substantial hardware infrastructure based on new Sun
workstations.
Salaries will be on the scale for Research Staff, 14,317 to 26,430 pounds
pa, according to experience.
Closing date for applications is 23 February 1996.
Informal enquiries about RAships should be made with CVs to:

International Workshop on
LOGIC IN DATABASES: LID'96
Centro Studi "I Cappuccini"
Cassa di Risparmio di San Miniato
San Miniato, Pisa
Italy
1-2 July 1996
* * * * * * * * * * * * ***
CALL FOR PAPERS
The aim of the workshop is to identify and promote logic-based
methods and techniques most relevant to the design and
development of the next-generation of information systems.
Toward this goal, the workshop will bring together experts in
the areas of databases, computational logic, and intelligent
information systems. The scope of the workshop includes,
but is not restricted to, technical advances in the following
areas:
* Actions, agents and active rules in logic and databases
* Temporal and spatial reasoning in logic and databases
* Uncertainty and approximate reasoning
* Non-deterministic queries, expressiveness of query
languages, non-monotonic reasoning in deductive databases
* Applications: knowledge discovery and
semantic integration in heterogeneous databases.
Contributions are solicited that stress the usability, simplicity
and efficiency of logic-based solutions to relevant problems in the
mentioned areas. The program will also comprise invited talks and
panel discussions, featuring leading experts in the area.
LOCATION
San Miniato---a medieval town on the rolling hills between
Florence and Pisa---is reachable by train from either city (and
from Pisa airport) in 30 minutes. The beautiful surroundings,
saturated with art and history, and the workshop location,
with its recently restored Benedictine cloister, offer
a congenial milieu for scientific discussion and the
exchange of ideas.
PAPER SUBMISSION
Original contributions should be sent to
either program co-chair by 31 March, 1996.
Work in progress or papers submitted to other conferences can be
considered, although authors should clearly indicate multiple
submissions.
It is intended to have the proceedings published in the Springer
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, after the workshop. Informal
proceedings published by the Italian National Research Council (CNR)
will be available at the workshop. All accepted papers will be
published in the informal proceedings, whereas only previously
unpublished papers will be included in the post-proceedings by Springer.
Papers submitted should not exceed 20 pages, or
10,000 words at 10pt font size.

In spite of the wide availability of more powerful (context-free,
mildly context-sensitive, and even Turing-equivalent) formalisms, the
bulk of the applied work on language and sublanguage modeling is
actually performed by (extended) finite state methods where most of
execution time is spent in a state machine. The goal of the workshop
is to bring together those developing and using such methods to text
analysis, speech/OCR language modeling, and related CL and NLP tasks
with those in AI and CS interested in analyzing and possibly extending
the domain of finite-state algorithms. For a more detailed call, list
of confirmed papers, deadlines, and submission details (electronic
submissions preferred) see http://www.cs.rice.edu/~andras/ecai.html.
