Previous issues: Issue 1 (28.Sept.96), Issue 2 (23.Dec.96)It is an open question whether full-scale formalization is a worthwhile endeavor at the moment ... My personal feeling is that the point has been reached where these further steps should be undertaken, that there is sufficient depth and complexity of argument so that formalization will not merely be a pointless technical exercise but may bring to light errors or gaps and hidden assumptions, and may yield new theoretical insights and suggest new empirical problems for investigation.

Dear HSPG-ers,
We are happy to deliver the third issue of the HPSG Gazette.
Glancing over this issue, you will notice that there are quite a number of conferences coming up. Since most of this information is available on the net, and the interests in the HPSG community vary significantly, we are thinking about dropping the calls for papers and upcoming events sections in future issues. Please let us know, if you do find these two sections useful.
The Ph.D. projects section was extended to include abstracts of papers and master's theses. Any such information sent to us will be included in the next issues of the Gazette. Not only your close friends and supervisors appreciate your good work! ;-)
In the past weeks a number of people sent bibliographical information to the HPSG list. Such emails are often quickly deleted, so the best way to make such information permanently available to the HPSG community is to add the references to the single most comprehensive, user-friendly HPSG bibliography at
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this issue.
Regards,
Detmar Meurers

Speech and Language Technology (SALT) Club Workshop
on
EVALUATION IN SPEECH AND LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY
June 17-18, 1997
Halifax Hall, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK
Sponsored by
Department of Trade and Industry
and
Institute for Language Speech and Hearing (ILASH)
and
Department of Computer Science
University of Sheffield
Evaluation is now an issue no speech and language researcher can afford to
ignore. The new empiricism in speech and language research, occasioned by the
massive increase in on-line corpora, together with the need for well
understood system performance characteristics implicit in the very concept of
language engineering, have pushed the topic of evaluation onto the agendas of
most researchers. Current evaluation metrics may be incomplete, simplifying,
distorting, or just plain irritating, but they are here to stay and our best
option is to make them better. This workshop aims to bring together
researchers in speech and language with an interest in evaluation in order to
reflect on their experiences with evaluation to date and to discuss how to
improve metrics and how to introduce metrics into areas where they have not
yet evolved.
Abstracts of up to 500 words describing proposed presentations are invited on
topics including (but not limited to):
* the role, significance, and limitations of evaluation in speech and
language research
* critical analysis of existing evaluation regimes or metrics
(e.g. MUC,TREC,ATIS,CSR)
* discussion or presentation of the EU-sponsored EAGLES proposals on
evaluation and standardisation
* how to foster small-scale, low overhead evaluation (e.g. in the
the upcoming EPSRC-sponsored Speech and Language programme)
* proposals for new evaluation regimes or metrics for language systems
that carry out tasks such as:
- speech recognition
- information extraction
- information retrieval
- machine translation
- natural language generation
- speech synthesis
- spoken language understanding
- topic spotting in spoken language
or for component technologies used in these systems, such as:
- tagging
- parsing
- coreference
- proper name recognition and classification in text
- discourse segmentation
* results of evaluation studies carried out on speech or language
systems or component technologies
* tools for evaluation -- scorers, visualisation tools, markup tools
* data provision for evaluation -- proposals for corpus markup
In the tradition of relatively informal SALT workshops, authors of accepted
abstracts will be invited to give a presentation of roughly 30 minutes.
Abstracts, or complete papers, should authors choose to submit them (length
limit 3500 words), will be published in an informal workshop proceedings.
Abstracts will be reviewed by a local programme committee consisting of:
Dr. R. Gaizauskas (chair)
Prof. Y. Wilks
Dr. S. Renals
Dr. P. Green
Abstracts due: May 1
Notification to authors: May 15
Camera-ready: June 1
Early registration deadline: May 15
For review abstracts should be submitted in ASCII, postscript, or LaTeX
(single, self-contained file only, please). Final abstracts/papers
should be in LaTeX -- authors of accepted presentations will be given
more detailed instructions on formatting later.
Registration and accomodation details will follow shortly.

The University of Sheffield's Halls of Residence are situated on the western
side of the city in a leafy residential area described by John Betjeman as
``the prettiest suburb in England''. Halifax Hall is centred on a local
Steel Baron's house, dating back to 1830 and set in extensive grounds. It
was acquired by the University in 1830 and converted into a Hall of
Residence for women with the addition of a new wing.
Halifax Hall is one mile from Sheffield's city centre, and is easily reached
from Sheffield Station by bus or taxi, and from Manchester International
Airport and train to Sheffield. The # 50 bus from the station will drop
you off at the Botanical Gardens but we recommend taking a taxi for around
3.50 pounds if you have heavy cases.

Le Centre Lucien Tesnière de l'Université de Franche-Comté organise trois journées de rencontres sur le thème "Linguistique et informatique : theories et outils pour le traitement automatique des langues". Il s'agira d'établir en quoi l'interdisciplinarité (la linguistique, d'une part, l'informatique, d'autre part) peut conduire à une meilleure description des langues pour des applications automatiques. Cette perspective sera abordée en traitant notamment des thèmes suivants :
¤ élaboration de bases de données linguistiques ;
¤ élaboration d'outils informatiques ;
¤ formalisation du lexique et de la syntaxe ;
¤ systèmes de documentation automatique ;
¤ systèmes d'enseignement assisté par ordinateur ;
¤ systèmes de traduction automatique ;
¤ systèmes de traduction assistée par ordinateur ;
¤ technologies vocales (synthèse, reconnaissance, identification du locuteur).
Les communications retenues pourront prendre la forme d'un exposé oral ou d'un poster. Les actes du colloque seront publiés dans la revue BULAG (Presses Universitaires Comtoises).

THE ELEVENTH AMSTERDAM COLLOQUIUM
December 17 -- 20, 1997
The Eleventh Amsterdam Colloquium is planned from Wednesday 17
until Saturday 20 December 1997, at the University of Amsterdam.
The Amsterdam Colloquia aim at bringing together logicians,
philosophers, linguists and computer scientists who share an
interest in semantics.
*The Eleventh Installment*
The program of the Eleventh Amsterdam Colloquium will include
four invited lectures by renowned experts in the field, as well
as about 50 talks selected by an international program
committee. The spectrum of topics covered may range from
descriptive (semantic analyses of all kinds of expressions) to
theoretical (logical and computational properties of semantic
theories, philosophical foundations). Furthermore two (plenary)
workshops are planned: one on "Games in Logic" and one on "The
Semantics of Topic and Focus in Discourse".
*Submission of abstracts*
The Colloquium has room for about 50 contributed talks of
approximately 30 minutes. People who want to contribute a paper
are requested to send in *eight copies* of an *anonymous*
abstract of *two pages* (at most 1000 words). The abstract must
include a short, 10 line, *summary* clearly indicating subject
matter and conclusions. A *separate* leaflet should specify the
author's name, affiliation, postal address, e-mail address plus
the title of the contribution. Submission by e-mail is
possible, provided that the abstract, summary and personal
details are in ASCII.
The *deadline* for submission of abstracts is September 1, 1997.
Authors will be notified of acceptance by October 15. Extended
6 page abstracts, to be included in the proceedings, are due
November 15. The proceedings will be distributed at the
conference.
*Submission of abstracts for the Topic/Focus workshop*
We also invite submissions for the workshop on "The Semantics of
Topic and Focus in Discourse". There is room for six
contributions, which will be selected by a special program
committee. Submissions for this workshop should contain *six
copies* reporting on original work, they must be *anonymous*,
and they should be no more than *six pages* long. On the
*leaflet* specifying the author, affiliation, postal address,
e-mail and title of the contribution, it should clearly state
"Submission for the Topic/Focus Workshop".
*Multiple submissions*
People are allowed to send in multiple submissions, but at most
one will be selected for the regular program, and at most one
for the Topic and Focus workshop. (So, notice, that it is
possible, in principle, that one person acts both on the
regular program and in the workshop.)

The GLOW Colloquium (Extraordinary) 1998
Hyderabad, India
January 20-22, 1998
Central Institute of English & Foreign Languages,
Hyderabad, India
Call for Papers
We are happy to announce that the GLOW organization has agreed to
a GLOW colloquium in Hyderabad (India), which will be the first
meeting of GLOW to be held in Asia. This is in response to a need
expressed by some Asian linguists for a geographically more
accessible GLOW. (The Hyderabad colloquium will be in addition to
the GLOW colloquium in Tilburg in the same year.)
The aim is to bring together current theoretical discussion in
Europe and America and language data and analysis sourced from
ongoing work in universities in the Asian region.
This extraordinary GLOW colloquium
* will follow the GLOW pattern of organization for the conference
programme, and its procedure for selection of abstracts
* will, as the first GLOW meeting in Asia, aim to focus generally
on Asian generative linguistics, but will not be further
restricted with respect to theme.
Invited Speakers: To be announced.
Abstract Submission
The colloquium will consist of approximately 20 talks of 45 minutes
each, followed by 15 minutes of discussion. Abstracts may not
exceed 2 pages with at least a 1 inch margin on all four sides and
should employ a font no smaller than 12 pt. They should be sent
anonymously in tenfold, accompanied by a camera-ready original with
the author's name, address and affiliation, to

General Information
Accommodation
Speakers will be given accommodation and food in the guest houses
of CIEFL and neighbouring science Institutes, free of charge. Non-
speaker participants will be offered inexpensive University
accommodation and food on a first-come basis. We regret that we are
not in a position to offer even partial reimbursement for speakers'
travel, but hope that lower living expenses in Hyderabad will
partly make up for this. (Hyderabad can also provide hotel
accommodation of acceptable standard at very inexpensive rates
compared to Europe.)
The Venue
The Colloquium and the Workshop will be held in the main building
of the Central Institute of English & Foreign Languages
(Hyderabad).
Hyderabad is on the tourist map of India, being an old city
(founded c. 1500 A.D). It has a distinctive Deccani muslim culture.
It is well-connected by air and rail to Bombay, Delhi and Madras,
and also to tourist resorts like Goa. The town has some good eating
places and a long tradition of excellent cuisine. The weather in
January is temperate (between 24 and 12 degrees C).
Travel
International air-fares are at their annual lowest during the
period beginning January 12th. Participants may be able to make a
further saving by booking tickets early.
The Hyderabad airport receives very few international flights; so

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Linguistic theories have increasingly been expressed in a declarative or
constraint-based style, which is highly appropriate for describing the
competence of native speakers. The grammar becomes a description of the
facts about a language, which is neutral with respect to any particular
mode of processing. It is the burden of the computational linguist to find
particular strategies for using this declarative knowledge so that it can
be used for performance oriented tasks such as recognizing, parsing or
generation.
In this course, we will examine processing techniques for such
declarative, constraint-based grammars. We will begin with parsing and
generation techniques appropriate for simple unification-based grammars
such as PATR-II and Definite Clause Grammars. We then will look at the
motivation for extending these systems into typed feature structure-based
systems such as the Troll system used extensively at the University
of Tuebingen and the widely used ALE system. Various notions of typing will
be examined and compared from linguistic and processing points of view.
Typed feature structures will lead us then into a discussion of more
general constraint based grammars (since constraints are often attached to
types). The constraints in such a system are simply descriptions which must
hold true of every well-formed linguistic object. Unification in these
grammars no longer plays any role, though it may still be used in an
implementation as a way of doing constraint solving.
In the second part of the course, we will look at some newer compilation
techniques, which have been applied to typed feature structure grammars. In
particular, we will look at how Prolog-style abstract machines can be
adapted for this domain. We will see that having types on feature
structures is a great advantage, since it allows memory to be allocated
only for appropriate features. A variety of optimizations of such machines
will be explored. Finally, we will make a case study of one particular
kind of constraint, namely lexical rules, where it has been argued that
special purpose compilation is called for. We will see, for example, how
finite state automata can be applied to model the possible feeding orders
between such rules.

TUTORIAL DESCRIPTIONS
Monday 7 July 1997, 9:30AM--6:30PM
Machine Learning of Natural Language, 9:30AM--1:00PM
David Powers, The Flinders University of South Australia
Over the last 30 years, issues relating to how language can be learned
have shaped fields as diverse as linguistics, automata theory, and
psycholinguistics. More recently, machine learning and neural nets
have found linguistic problems a natural target for exploration and
demonstration of techniques. Conversely, computational linguistics,
natural language processing and speech technology are all actively
looking for ways in which learning can be put to practical use in
specific applications. Indeed, the increasing availability of large
corpora and treebanks promises that the recent explosion in interest
will continue.
This tutorial will provide the participant with an understanding of
the perspectives on language learning adopted by the different fields,
will explore the nature and significance of the various theoretical
results, and will characterize and explain the basic machine learning
paradigms and algorithms which have been used for language learning.
Recent work will be characterized in terms of this framework, with
more detailed case studies being drawn from two different paradigms.
The focus here will be on developing an intuition as to how and why
the various techniques work.
David Powers is co-author of the Springer monograph 'Machine Learning
of Natural Language' and is currently President of SIGNLL, the ACL
Special Interest Group on Natural Language Learning. This tutorial
will provide background useful to those contemplating attending
SIGNLL's two day CoNLL workshop.
Information Retrieval from a Linguist's Perspective, 9:30AM--1:00PM
Sebastian Goeser, IBM Germany Ltd.
Gerda Ruge, Technical University of Munich
Information Retrieval (IR) is a dynamically growing field of research
and development activities which offers many substantial job
opportunities to linguists. The purpose of this tutorial is to
introduce computational or theoretical linguists to IR, thus enabling
them to make reasonable decisions on linguistic issues in an IR
context. The tutorial will give an overview of all major issues in IR
research and development that are relevant to a linguist in that
context.
An important focus will be the effectiveness of linguistic
approaches to IR: Which methods are provably effective, and which
ones, in spite of arguments to the contrary, are not? The literature
on linguistic IR experiments reports many conflicting results. The IR
community is split into those who believe language technology can
improve retrieval results and those who do not. The entire IR
machinery necessary to understand this situation, in terms of
retrieval models, evaluation, system architectures, applications,
linguistic representation etc. will be focused in this tutorial.
MAXIMUM ENTROPY MODELING FOR NATURAL LANGUAGE, 3:00PM--6:30PM
Eric Sven Ristad, Princeton University
The maximum entropy framework is a powerful method for building
statistical models of natural language. It is expressive, allowing
modelers to easily represent their special insights into the data
generating machinery. It is statistically efficient, because it
models the intersection of complex events without increasing the
number of parameters or fragmenting the training data. And it
provides strong models, models that can outperform their traditional
variants with less tweaking.
This tutorial explains how to build maximum entropy models for natural
language applications such as information retrieval and speech
recognition. We review the maximum entropy framework, explore the art
of effective feature design, and show how to implement models using
the instructor's publicly available Maximum Entropy Modeling
Toolkit.
Logical Approaches to Syntactic Theories, 3:00PM--6:30PM
James Rogers, University of Central Florida
Thomas Cornell, SFB 340, University of Tuebingen
The trend, over the last ten or fifteen years, has been towards
specifying syntactic structures in terms of constraints on their form
rather than via mechanisms for generating them. This leads naturally
to a fully declarative approach in which sets of syntactic structures
are treated as sets of ordinary mathematical models and theories of
syntax are defined by systems of logical axioms. This model-theoretic
approach allows existing tools of mathematical logic to be applied to
formal issues in syntax. In addition to the obvious applications to
questions of consistency and independence of sets of constraints,
results have been obtained establishing the complexity of constraint
based theories, logical axiomatizations have been employed as a common
framework in which to compare strongly dissimilar generative systems,
and automata-based proof techniques have begun to be explored as novel
approaches to processing languages axiomatized in this way. This
tutorial will explore the foundations of this approach, the results it
has yielded so far, and the potential it holds.
The presentation will presume only a passing familiarity with basic
formal logic and traditional theories of syntax (e.g., GB and GPSG).

POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS
Natural Language Processing for Communication Aids
Organisers: Ann Copestake (Stanford University), Stefan Langer
(University of Dundee), and Sira E. Palazuelos-Cagigas
(Universidad Politecnica de Madrid).
July 11 or 12, 1997
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum in which researchers in
communication aids for people with disabilities can discuss the problems
involved in these applications and the solutions being investigated in current
research. Researchers who are not currently working in this area but who are
interested in practical uses for NLP techniques are also encouraged to
participate. Applications which we expect to be covered include communication
devices for non-speakers, systems designed for deaf users and tools for
tutoring and rehabilitation for people with language impairments. Those
interested in attending should contact Ann Copestake (aac@csli.stanford.edu).
For further details of the workshop see
http://www-csli.stanford.edu/~aac/clworkshop.html.
SIGPHON: Computational Phonology
Organizers:
July 11 or 12, 1997
Concept to Speech Generation Systems
Organisers: Kai Alter and Hannes Pirker (Austrian Research Inst. for
AI) and Wolfgang Finkler (German Research Center for AI).
Friday, July 11, 1997
This workshop deals with Concept-to-Speech (CTS) generation systems, i. e.,
the production of synthetic speech on the basis of semantic, discourse,
phonological and phonetic knowledge. It will thus provide a forum to bring
together researchers from the fields of natural language generation and speech
synthesis. The aim of the workshop is to stimulate interchange of innovative
ideas and results of diverse aspects of CTS generaation and should be
especially attractive for people who are interested in language generation and
prosody. More detailed information including the program can be retrieved at
http://www.dfki.uni-sb.de/~finkler/acl97-cts/index.html. The organising
committee can be contacted at cts-7@ai.univie.ac.at.
Spoken Language Translation
Organisers: Steven Krauwer (Utrecht University; ELSNET, chair), Harold
Somers (UMIST; Machine Translation), Doug Arnold (University of
Essex), Walter Kasper (DFKI Saarbruecken), Manny Rayner (SRI
Cambridge).
July 11, 1997
The workshop will be dedicated to spoken language translation (SLT), and its
interrelationships with machine translation of written language (MT). It will
be a one-day workshop, with four consecutive sessions, addressing the following
four issues: current trends in SLT research (approaches, problems); current
trends in SLT applications (products, niches); how / where can MT and SLT learn
from each other; what can be done to improve convergence or synergy. Contact:
steven.krauwer@let.ruu.nl. Details:

Envgram Computational Environments for
Grammar Development and Linguistic Engineering
Organizers: Dominique Estival (University of Melbourne, Australia),
Alberto Labelli (IRST), Klays Netter (DFKI), and Fabio Pianesi (IRST)
July 11 or 12, 1997
With a growing number of NLP applications going beyond the status of simple
research systems, there is also an evident need for better methods, tools and
environments to support the development and reuse of large scale linguistic
resources and efficient processors. However, while current platforms and
components typically provide fairly clean formalisms, processing components and
data, it is not yet clear to which extent current results and approaches fit
the requirements for scale development and deployment of real NLP applications.
Among the relevant issues, we mention: the assessment of the state of the art
grammar development and to the division of labor in large scale grammar
development; the problems of the reusablility (of linguistic resources and / or
processors) and of the usability (from the point of view of the user of the
platform). This workshop intends to provide a forum for discussing these and
related, crucial issues for Linguistic Engineering.
Operational Factors in Practical, Robust
Anaphora Resolution for Unrestricted Texts
Organisers: Ruslan Mitkob (University of Wolverhampton, UK, e-mail:
R.Mitkov@wlv.ac.uk) and Branimir Boguraev (Apple Computer,
Inc. Cupertino, CA, USA).
July 11, 1997
The workshop will have a dual focus: it will promote the latest trends towards
robust, parser-free, corpus-driven and / or other practical approaches to
resolving anaphora in unrestricted texts; it will also seek to investigate the
role of, and interactions among, the various factors in anaphora resolution and
in particular those that scale well in knowledge-poor environments.
Interactive Spoken Dialogue Systems:
Bringing Speech and NLP Together in Real Applications
Organisers: Julia Hirschberg, Candace Kamm, and Marilyn Walker
(ATT Labs Research).
July 11 and 12, 1997
Recent advances in speech technologies, natural language processing, and
dialogue modeling have made it possible to build dialogue agents for a wide
range of applications from voice dialing to accessing information about the
weather, train schedules, cultural events or local restaurants. However, there
is little research on the integration of component technologies required for
these agents. This two-day workshop will address the challenges involved in
this integration, including the special requirements dialogue places on speech
recognizers, speech synthesizers and natural language generation; tools for
building integrated systems; and evaluation of spoken dialogue systems. The
workshop will begin with a morning of tutorials on ASR, TTS, and dialogue
modeling. We solicit participation from text-to-speech, ASR, NLP, generation
and dialogue modeling researchers, as well as those already building integrated
spoken dialogue systems.
Referring Phenomena in a Multimedia Discourse
and Their Computational Treatment (SIGMEDIA)
Organisers: Elisabeth Andre (DFKI, Germany), Laurent Romary (CRIN-CNRS
& INRIA Lorraine, France), and Thomas Rist (DFKI, Germany)
Organized by the ACL Special Interest Group
on Multimedia Language Processing (SIGMEDIA)
July 11th/12th 1997
A growing number of research projects has started to investigate the
use of referring expressions in multimedia systems. On the one hand,
the use of multiple media has led to new problems, such as a proper
treatment of cross-media references. On the other hand, it has turned
out that many concepts already known from natural language processing,
such as cohesion, take on an extended meaning in multimedia
discourse. As theories of NL reference become more sophisticated, it
is quite natural to investigate whether these theories also encompass
other media, such as graphics and pointing gestures. The workshop will
be centered around questions, such as "To what extent can linguistic
models be applied to multimedia references?", "Which linguistic
phenomena can also be observed in multimedia discourse?" and "Is a
cross-modality theory of reference possible?". Topics of interest
include, but are by no means restricted to the following:
- computational models for the analysis/generation of referring
expressions in a multimedia discourse
- coordination/synchronization of multiple media, such as speech and
pointing gestures
- deixis in multimedia environments
- cohesion and coherence in multimedia discourse
- representation of multimedia discourse
- encoding theories for text and graphics
- formal models of multimedia referring
- referring expressions in augmented/virtual realities
- empirical studies

Intelligent Scalable Text Summarization
Organisers: Udo Hahn (University of Freiburg), Julian Kupiec (Xerox
PARC), Inderjeet Mani (MITRE, co-chair), Mark Maybury (MITRE,
co-chair), Kathy McKeown (Columbia University), Boyan Onyshkevych
(US Department of Defense), Dragomir Radev (Columbia University),
Lisa Rau (SRA International), and Kazuo Tanaka (NTT Human Interface
Laboratories).
Friday, July 11, 1997
With the explosion in the quantity of on-line information in recent years,
demand for text summarization technology appears to be growing. Commercial
companies are increasingly starting to offer text summarization capabilities,
often bundled with information retrieval tools. These recent developments
offer opportunities as well as substantial challenges for research in text
summarization. In general, such developments create a practical need for
summarization systems which scale up when applied to large volumes of
unrestricted text. This workshop is aimed at researchers interested in
advancing the scientific frontiers of text summarization to meet these new
practical challenges and opportunities. For further information, see
http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~radev/ists97.
Automatic Information Extraction and Building of Lexical
Semantic Resources for NLP Applications Organized by
EuroWordNet (LE2 4003), Sparkle (LE1 2111) and Ecran
Organisers: Piek Vossen (University of Amsterdam), Nicoletta Calzolari
(Instituto de Linguistica Computazionale del CNR, Pisa), Yorick
Wilks (University of Sheffield), Geert Adriaens (Novell Linguistic
Development, Antwerp), and Horacio Rodriquez (Politecnica de
Catalunya, Barcelona).
Friday, July 11, 1997
In the past years the development of high-quality and overall language
resources has been the focus of many research groups. More recently also
the corpus-based extraction of such resources has gained a wider interest.
EuroWordNet, Sparkle and Ecran try to package some of this know-how and
expertise into state-of-the-art tools and resources that can directly be
applied in NLP-based services. This objective is carried out through the
development of software tools in the areas of shallow parsing and lexical
acquisition. These tools are used to induce linguistic knowledge from text
corpora and are progressively enriched by the information acquired.
In this workshop we want to discuss the scope and formats of semantic resources
and information acquisition tools with scholars in the field and researchers
from commercial R departments who have experience in developing and using
them. Specifically we will discuss the following topics: 1. compatibility and
standards of multilingual semantic resources and lexical acquisition tools; 2.
the validation of multilingual semantic resources and lexical acquisition
tools; 3. performances of semantic resources and lexical acquisition tools in
NLP tasks; 4. partial or phrasal parsing of text; 5. linking text with lexical
databases: sense-differentiation, sense-tagging and sense-disambiguation tasks,
domain-differentiation of text and lexical resources. Further details can be
found at the Workshop HomePage: http://www.let.uva.nl/~ewn/workshop.htm.
From Research to Commercial Applications:
Making NLP Technology Work in Practice
Organisers: Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service), Claudia Leacock
(Princeton University), Jared Bernstein (Ordinate Corporation),
Andrew Golding (Mitsubishi Electric), Mary Dee Harris (Language
Technology, Inc.), Kevin Knight (USC / ISI), Karen Kukich (Bellcore),
Lisa Rau (SRA International), Yael Ravin (IBM, T. J. Watson Research
Center) Susanne Wolff (Educational Testing Service), and Wlodek
Zadrozny (IBM, T. J. Watson Research Center).
JUly 11 or 12, 1997
Success in the marketplace is one form of validation for NLP techniques and
underlying theories. The broad vision of this workshop is to bring together
researchers to discuss commercial or commercial-bound systems that use NLP for
either text or speech. We are interested in learning about systems that show
promise in re-using NLP techniques, and in the process of technology transfer
for NLP applications. Another topic of interest in this workshop is
industry-based practical considerations involving NLP technology. The workshop
should invoke discussion about experiences and problems -- technical, logistic,
or cultural -- among people working on operational and commercial NLP
applications. The workshop will begin a dialogue among researchers to explore
issues in technology transfer and the re-use of domain-specific systems.
Discussion of the issues above would help to create connections between both
academic and industry-based research efforts to build a solid infrastructure
for NLP technology re-use and lead to a deeper understanding of commercial NLP
potential.
Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL '97)
Organisers: Mark Ellison (Edinburgh University), David Powers (Flinders
University), and Walter Daelemans (KUB Tilburg, Antwerp University)
July 11 or 12, 1997
The field of computational natural language learning (NLL) is not a new one;
research in it has been pursued for more than forty years. The last seven
years, however, have seen a growth in interest and, correspondingly, in
meetings addressing this topic. These have been held under the auspices of:
COLING (The Unfinished Language, 90), DARPA (90/91), AAAI (MLNLO/CNLP, 91/93),
IJCAI (NLL, 91), ECML (Machine Learning and Text Analysis, 93), the European
Networks of Excellence ELSNET and MLNET (MLNLS, 94), and ESSLLI (96).
This year, however, is the first time the that the ACL's special interest group
in natural language learning have organised a meeting in conjunction with an
(E)ACL conference. This as an important event for researchers in NLL for two
reasons. The meeting will provide a venue to share work on our common interests
within the NLL community. Secondly, it provides the opportunity for the wider
ACL community to become acquainted with NLL work.
For these reasons, we are soliciting for papers from the full breadth of NLL
research. This includes work aimed at using machines to learn linguistic
models, building computational models of language, and natural language tool
development and adaptation. Our coverage explicitly extends to work using
probabilistic, symbolic and neural network learning methods, and to the
computational modelling of language acquisition. We make no restrictions on the
target of acquisition, including work on all levels of language from semantics
and pragmatics, through syntax and the lexicon to phonology and phonetics. All
submissions will be subjected to blind refereeing by appropriate experts.
The combination of this vibrant field, with the occasion of joint EACL/ACL
meeting will make this workshop an exciting and stimulating event.

a commercial system (intended for sale as a product) is $500.
SPONSORS: The organizers are most grateful to the European Commission,
the UNED (Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia), the Autonoma
University, the Complutense University and the Politecnica University
of Madrid for the generous grants they have made to support the conference.
SMOKING POLICY: In Spain, in spite of a decrease in the number of
smokers, there are still a lot of people who smoke. Smoking is not
permitted in any room at the university but tolerated in other
designated public areas.
RECREATION: A variety of athletic facilities (with moderate fees)
are available on campus including a summer swimming pool. Athletic passes
will be available at the Registration desk.
GEOGRAPHIC SITUATION AND CLIMATE: Located in the center of the Iberian
Peninsula, Madrid is 600 m. above sea level. In mid July it is hot but dry,
the maximum can vary from 30 to 38 centigrade degrees. Short summer storms
in the evening are quite possible.
SIGHTSEEING: The capital of Spain, Madrid is filled with museums, beautiful
architecture, fascinating history and charming people that welcome strangers
with genuine zeal. From the streets packed with bustling people, to the quiet
dignity of a city that is over four-hundred years old, Madrid has much to
offer anyone who visits it.
Its forcefulness and personality turn Madrid into an unforgettable city,
and its plentiful resources of interest to tourism - nature, art,
history - are rounded off extraordinarily well by a series of cities in
its surroundings which are full of sights of historic interest, some of
which have been included by the UNESCO in the list of places considered
"world heritage": Avila, Segovia, Toledo, as well as the Monastery of El
Escorial. All of them lie within about 100 km. from the square La Puerta
del Sol.
Nearby the conference site is the American Museum were you can enjoy a
large collection of Central and South American objects belonging to a
variety of cultures. The Museum is within the campus Ciudad Universitaria
located at the intersection between the Avenida Arco de la Victoria and
the Avenida de los Reyes Catolicos. On the way from hotels to the university,
The Church of San Antonio de la Florida, which was declared a National
Monument in 1905, was built between 1792 and 1798, and Francisco de Goya's
frescoes are a tourist attraction in their own right.
Suitable attire is required for visiting churches.
DIRECTIONS: All air trafic passes through Barajas airport, 15 km. from
Madrid. To reach the city either you take the bus or a taxi because there
is no metro or fast train. Taxi rates and surcharges: Authorized taxis
are white with a red diagonal band on the door. Within the city, and
including the airport, the fare is the one indicated on the meter, plus
the authorized surcharges. Initial fare: 170 ptas., airport surcharge:
350 ptas., surcharge for night service (11:00pm-6:00am): 150 ptas., for
each suitcase: 50 ptas. An aproximate charge in normal traffic conditions
from the airport to Plaza de Espana would be between 2500 and 3000 ptas.
If you have any complaint, you can ask for a receipt but make sure it's
got the taxi's licence on it and the route taken. By bus: There is a
yellow bus at the airport wich leaves every 15 minutes and costs 370
pesetas. They do not accept big notes, so change in the airport before
taking the bus. The bus takes you to the terminal, in the city center
(Plaza de Colon/Columbus square) from where you can take the metro.
By car: Using a car in Madrid is not advisable because there is
heavy traffic and it is very difficult to park in the center of Madrid.
LOCAL DIRECTIONS: (From the hotels to the conference site): From the
hotels: Catch bus 46 at a bus stop in front of the conference hotels
(direction Moncloa) and it will take you straight to UNED in "Senda del
Rey" (conference site). This bus runs from 6:30am to 11:00pm. A single
ticket costs 130 ptas and you can pay on the bus, but we recommend you
get a bono-bus (10 trips) which costs 660 pesetas. This is sold at
"estancos" (tobacconists) and newspapers kiosks. If you are lodging
in the campus residence - Colegio Mayor Antonio de Nebrija- just
walk down the Avenida de Seneca and you'll get to the conference site.
There will be signs around the campus to help you find your way.
PARKING: Two of the three hotels have parking for a fee but as stated above
it is not advisable to drive in Madrid.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE: All bank branch offices offer foreign currency
exchange services, and although a considerable number of hotels and many
travel agencies do also, it's wiser to exchange your money at a bank office.
All banks are open from 8:30 to 2:00, 2:30 from Monday to Friday. If you
arrive on a Sunday there is a bank office open at the airport of Barajas.
Most hotels and restaurants and many commercial establishments also
accept the most popular international credit cards and travellers
cheques.

ACL'97 / EACL'97 Workshop
12 July, 1997
Madrid, Spain
COMPUTATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS FOR GRAMMAR DEVELOPMENT
AND LINGUISTIC ENGINEERING
With a growing number of NLP applications going beyond the status of
simple research systems, there is also a more evident need for better
methods, tools and environments to support the development and reuse
of large scale linguistic resources and efficient processors. Some of
the most prominent examples of development environments within this
new area of research, often referred to as Linguistic Engineering, are
ALEP, GATE, GWB, PAGE, and many others.
However, while these platforms and components typically provide fairly
clean formalisms, processing components and data, it is not yet clear
to which extent current results and approaches fit the requirements
for scale development and deployment of real NLP applications.
In this connection, a number of pending issues need be addressed, the
relevance of which becomes particularly clear when the focus is
shifted from linguistic formalism to usability and user/application
requirements.
The workshop will be the occasion to discuss the results achieved and
the most promising directions and to highlight pending problems.

EUROLAN'97
Summer School on Corpus Linguistics
Tusnad - Romania
13-26 July 1997
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
--------------------------------
1. Theme
The theme of Eurolan'97 is "Corpus Linguistics" - the use of language
corpora to develop tools and resources for automated language processing and
to test linguistic theories. As well as lectures by distinguished
international faculty members, there will be workshops that build upon the
lectures and aim specifically at stimulating discussion and further
collaboration. Lectures and workshops will be organized in three thematic
tracks:
Lexicon and Corpora - The aim of this track is to confront Summer School
participants with the state-of-the-art in using machine readable
dictionaries and other on-line linguistic resources in Natural Language
research and with research on extracting these resources directly from
corpora.
Discourse Corpus Linguistics - This track is aimed at presenting a new trend
in Natural Language Processing research that tries to base progress in
discourse theories upon intensive corpus analysis. We hope that this will
follow up on a workshop held at the University of Pennsylvania in March 1996
on discourse-coding and corpus-based discourse analysis.
Grammar engineering and grammar learning - This track will focus both on
work being done on formalizing the Romanian language using HPSG in
connection with research in formalizing other Romance languages and on
methods for inferring grammars from corpora. It is expected that the
researchers that announced or begun their work on Romanian HPSG at the ACM
Summer School in Belis-Fintinele, Romania in July 1996 to report their
progress within this framework.
--------------------------------
2. Venue
Tusnad is a holiday resort situated at about 200 km North from Bucharest and
67 km from Brasov in the Carpathian mountains. More about Tusnad you can
find under the link on http://www.infoiasi.ro/eurolan/ann.html.
--------------------------------
3. Participants
The Summer School is designed for graduate students and researchers in
Natural Language Processing, including computer scientists and linguists
interested in corpus research.
The Eurolan'97 faculty members will be:
Nicoletta Calzolari - University of Pisa
Jean-Pierre Chanod - Xerox Grenoble
Dan Cristea - University "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" of Iasi
Tomaz Erjavec - Josef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana
Nancy Ide - Vassar College and University of Aix-en-Province
Aravind Joshi - University of Pennsylvania
Paola Monachesi - University of Tuebingen

--------------------------------
4. Background
The Eurolan series of Summer Schools was established in 1993 to stimulate
young researchers to progress towards the highest levels of Natural Language
Processing and Language Technology research in their own countries. The
first Eurolan summer school was held in 1993 in Iasi (Romania), with the
theme "Natural Language and Logic Programming". It was jointly supported by
the French government and the University of Iasi. Seven invited faculty
members gave lectures to 45 students from Russia, Moldavia, Romania,
Bulgaria and Albania. The second Eurolan summer school was held in 1995,
again in Iasi, with the theme "Language and Perception: Representations and
Processes". This time there were eight faculty members giving lectures to 55
students from six different countries. The second summer school was jointly
funded by the European Union, the Romanian Ministry for Research and
Development, and the University of Iasi.

ELSNET's 5TH EUROPEAN SUMMER SCHOOL ON LANGUAGE AND SPEECH COMMUNICATION
************************************************************************
LEXICON DEVELOPMENT FOR LANGUAGE AND SPEECH PROCESSING
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
Centre for Computational Linguistics
14-25 July 1997
FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT
*******************
Please note that the deadline for registration has been postponed to
*** MAY 9, 1997 ***
ELSNET's fifth European Summer School on Language and Speech Communication
will be organised at the Centre for Computational Linguistics in Leuven,
Belgium. The central theme of the summer school will be 'Lexicon development
for Language and Speech Processing'. The event is sponsored by the European
Network in Language and Speech (ELSNET), ERASMUS, the COPERNICUS project
ELSNET goes East, the network Computational Linguistics in Flanders (CLIF),
and by one of the Belgian Councils for Scientific Research (NFWO), and
supported by the European Speech Communication Association (ESCA) and the
European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL).
Language and speech processing applications with a reasonable coverage
need large lexicons. The construction and maintenance of lexical resources
is a costly and complex task. Consequently, decisions about notation,
format, structure, content and acquisition of lexical knowledge require
careful consideration, while keeping in mind specific requirements of
applications on the one hand and reusability on the other. For students and
staff interested in the development of systems for speech and language
communication it is of prime importance to be familiar with the latest
developments in this field.

| GENERAL INFORMATION |
+---------------------+
Logic, Language and Information have attracted and brought together a large
number of active researchers from disciplines such as Logic, Computer Science,
Linguistics and Cognitive Science, who consider the use of logical techniques
(broadly conceived) as a thread unifying their research efforts. The European
Summer School in LLI (ESSLLI) has become the main meeting place for young
researchers and research students in this rapidly growing field. ESSLLI is a
unique, interdisciplinary event, with no counterparts in Europe or elsewhere
in the world.
The main focus of the summer school is the interface between logic,
linguistics and computation as far as it concerns the modelling of human
language and cognitive abilities. The 1997 summer school programme includes
courses, workshops and symposia covering a variety of topics within six areas
of interest: Logic, Language, Computation, Logic and Computation, Computation
and Language, Language and Logic.
ESSLLI'97 will take place at the Aix-en-Provence Faculty of Arts(University
of Aix-Marseille I). This Faculty is close to the old town centre. There are
regular connections by bus (25 mns) from the international airport of Marseille
and by train (30mns) from Marseille. The Faculty is at a 10 minute walking
distance from the railway station.

CRASH COURSES for ESSLLI'97 (Aix-en-Provence)
_____________________________________________
ESSLLI'97 offers you very introductory courses which will be held
on the day preceding the beginning of the ordinary courses
(Sunday, June 10th, 1997). These courses are adressed to students
who would like to enter a new field.
The participation to these courses is free. Please, register as soon as
possible (use the form at the end of this mail or see the website).
The following topics are proposed :
. Introduction to Grammatical Formalisms
--------------------------------------
by Christophe Fouqueré (Professor, URA-CNRS, Paris-13)
(2 x 2 heures)
This course will introduce to the fundamental mechanisms of
contemporary syntactic theories (like GPSG, HPSG, TAG), mainly:
- unification of feature structures
- algebraic operations on trees.
. Introduction to Deductive Systems
---------------------------------
by Christian Retoré (Researcher, INRIA-Lorraine)
(2 hours)
Deductive systems play a very important role in Artificial
Intelligence (expert-systems), in Theoretical Computer Science
(rewriting systems, functional programming, logic programming...)
and also in Computational Linguistics (categorial grammars). This
course will be an introduction to various logics: classical logic,
intuitionnistic logic, relevance logic, linear logic and variants
expressed in two systems: Sequent Calculus and Natural Deduction.
. Introduction to Model Theory
----------------------------
by Alain Lecomte (Professor, University of Grenoble)
(2 hours)
Model Theory provides the semantic side of logical systems (as they
are studied in the previous course). This course will give an
introduction to the notion of model, starting from models for the
elementary predicate calculus, and finishing with some insights on
representational theories used in Linguistics, like the Discourse
Representation Theory.
. Introduction to Modal Logic
---------------------------
by Patrice Bailhache (Professor, University of Nantes)
(2 hours)
Modal Logic is essential to Artificial Intelligence and formalisation
of many domains like Laws, Temporality, Knowledge, Belief and so
on. Modalities are of many kinds (alethic, deontic, epistemic...) and
can be formalised in Deductive Systems and in a Model-Theoretic
way via the notion of possible world. This course will be an
introduction to this field.
. French for Foreigners
---------------------
by Frédéric Sabio (University of Aix-en-Provence)
(2 x 3 hours)
This course will have two objectives :
1- to give some rudiments of the French language for non French
speaking students in order they get a better enjoyment from their
stay in Aix en Provence,
2- to introduce specific problems of the French language for the
linguists.

>From Ivan Sag:
Here is a stunning piece of news. Paul Kay (UC Berkeley), who has
pioneered a number of areas of scientific research (perhaps most
notably (to us linguists), the cross-linguistic study of color terms)
was just elected to the National Academy of Sciences of the USA. This
is an incredible honor for any scientist (check out the home page at:
http://www.pnas.org/), and certainly one that very few linguists ever
achieve.
Paul is one of the founders and principal architects (together with
Chuck Fillmore) of the framework of Construction Grammar and has
recently been exploring (with a number of us working in HPSG and LFG
here in the Bay area) convergent trends in work on the theory of
grammatical constructions. If you're near a bottle of champagne, open
it and make a toast to Paul.
>From Ivan Sag:
I'm delighted to report that Jim Blevins has just accepted a
position as Assistant Director of Research in English Grammar at the
Research Centre for English and Applied Linguistics at Cambridge
University. From the way he describes it, this sounds like a great
position. Congratulations, Jim!

Announcing
STUDIES IN CONSTRAINT-BASED LEXICALISM
We are happy to announce that CSLI Publications has agreed to publish
a new series, entitled STUDIES IN CONSTRAINT-BASED LEXICALISM (with
Andreas Kathol, Jean-Pierre Koenig, and Sam Mchombo as the series
editors). The purpose of the series is to produce representative,
high-quality selections of papers or monographs in various areas of
interest to those working in or on grammatical frameworks
characterizable as constraint-based lexicalism. The primary focus
will be current linguistic, foundational, and computational work in
the frameworks of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), Lexical
Functional Grammar (LFG), and related frameworks such as Construction
Grammar and Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar.
* * * * *
Announcement from the HPSG editor/Call for Papers
As for the publication of HPSG-related work, the series intends to, on
a yearly basis, include one volume consisting primarily of work
presented at the annual HPSG conference. However, the book editors
may also draw on material presented elsewhere, if appropriate to
achieve thematic cohesion. Moreover, anthologies of work unrelated to
the HPSG conference are also invited. In all cases the selection of
eligible papers by the editor(s) will be based on a review process. In
addition, this series is also intended as a forum for the publication
of monographs on topics in the areas mentioned above.
At this point, I'd like to solicit:
- unpublished work presented at one of the last three HPSG
conferences (in Copenhagen, Tuebingen, and Marseilles) which you
like to have considered for inclusion in the first volume due out
early next year. Submitted papers should not exceed 15 pages (20-25
in the case of invited conference talks);
- proposals for volumes in the series, which contain information
pertaining to the following:
- title (monograph) or thematic focus (anthology),
- set of potential contributors (anthology),
- a rough time frame for submission, reviewing, revising and
the final version;
(I will assume that proposals for anthologies imply the
willingness to serve as the book's editor)
NB, participants of this year's HPSG conference (HPSG 4) at Cornell
University will automatically be invited to submit their papers for
inclusion in the first forthcoming collection. More details will be
announced later.

A Proof Theoretic Investigation of Prediction in HPSG
Bj{\o}rn Aldag
[PS94] founds its Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) on
specific method ological assumptions which demand a formalism,
i.e. a means to enable
1. the expression of theories and
2. the deduction from theories of experimentally verifiable or falsifiable
assertions about empirical phenomena.
Yet, a formalism which only meets these minimal requirements is
clearly less than optimal. In order to fully exploit such a formalism
for scientific advance, it i s in addition desirable to possess
3. a sound and complete calculus for the deduction relation,
or, even better,
4. a decidability method for the deduction relation.
On the basis of [Kin89], [Kin] provides a formalism for HPSG and
argues that it meets requirements (1) and (2), but a straightforward
corollary of [KSA] shows that the formalism does not meet the strong
desideratum (4). I strengthen this negative result by showing that
even the fulfillment of the weaker desideratum (3) is logically
inconceivable for the HPSG formalism of [Kin].

Underdetermined Binding: An HPSG Binding Theory and
Experimental Study of Adult Japanese Learners of English
as a Second Language
Robert Hamilton
University of South Carolina
In this dissertation I accomplish two objectives. First, I develop a
theory of anaphoric and personal-pronominal binding within the
framework of HPSG that I argue is empirically more satisfying and
internally more coherent than previous accounts, including among
others the standard HPSG binding theory of Pollard & Sag (1992, 1994)
and the reflexive-marking account of Reinhart & Reuland (1991, 1993).
Second, I report on an experimental study in which I investigated
whether adult Japanese-speaking learners of English have direct access
to Binding Condition A as formulated in my and other
argument-structure analyses of binding.
Focusing on the first of these objectives here, unlike previous
theories of binding I formulate Binding Condition A as a restriction
not on anaphors but on all polymorphemic pronominals, both anaphoric
and personal- pronominal (more specifically in HPSG terms, any pron
phrase with pron COMP-DTR). This explains, among other things, why
Icelandic hann sjalfur, a previously uninvestigated polymorphemic
personal pronoun, is subject to Condition A just like polymorphemic
anaphors in many languages (e.g. English himself), whereas
monomorphemic anaphors (e.g. Chinese ziji) are not. I also present a
more satisfactory characterization of the local domain than that found
in other argument-structure approaches to binding such as Pollard &
Sag's and Reinhart & Reuland's. I achieve this advantage by making
Conditions A and B sensitive to what I term Reflexive O-Command, a
refinement of Pollard & Sag's Local O-Command that is sensitive not
only to syntactic subcategorization but to thematic argument structure
as well. Finally, I develop a theory of anaphoric binding based on my
Unspecified Indices Principle, which states (roughly) that the
unspecified phi-features (INDEX features in HPSG) found in anaphors
trigger corresponding NONLOCAL | INHER | REFLEXIVE features that are
inherited upward in a syntactic tree until discharged by some
structure-sharing antecedent. This mechanism accounts for a number of
structural effects on the nonlocal binding of monomorphemic anaphors,
including the sort of blocking and clausal opacity effects often
considered to be within the exclusive purview of geometric approaches
to binding (e.g. head-movement approaches).

Grammar for a user-machine interface

The Lexical Integrity of Japanese Causatives. In Robert Levine
and Georgia Green, eds., Readings in Modern Phrase Structure
Grammar. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
In this paper, we try to reconcile the complex syntactic distribution
of Japanese causatives with a strong version of lexicalism -- one
where words ground direct syntactic recursion (i.e. where no affixal
elements function as syntactic primitives and where there are no
transformational derivations). We treat (among other things) adverbs
and quantified NPs with sublexical scope and the binding of zibun
and unexpressed pronouns.

A draft version of the following paper is available:
Copestake, Ann, Dan Flickinger, and Ivan A. Sag. Ms. Minimal
Recursion Semantics: an introduction.
Minimal Recursion Semantics (MRS) is a framework for computational
semantics that simplifies the design of algorithms. MRS
representations are flat, with each piece of the representation
assigned a handle that can be identified with the value of some
argument in some other piece of the representation. This paper
describes an implementation that integrates MRS with an HPSG grammar
for both parsing and generation and discusses why, in general, a
semantic representation with minimal structure is desirable.

A completely revised version of the following paper will be available
within the next few days at the URL indicated below. Heavily
influenced by some recent theoretical ideas of Gosse Bouma's, this
analysis of French `clitics' no longer uses a Pronominal Affixation
Lexical Rule.
Ivan A. Sag and Philip Miller. to appear. French Clitic Movement
without Clitics or Movement. Natural Language and Linguistic Theory.
This paper presents a lexicalist treatment of the French clitic
system that treats all `clitics' as lexical pronominal affixes,
whose ordering is templatic in nature. On our account, the order
of French pronominal affixes is independent of the general
properties of syntactic structures; cliticized forms, produced
via lexical rule, enter the syntax fully inflected. The conclusions
we reach challenge grammatical architectures that seek to explain
the behavior of clitics in terms of functional projections,
head movement and/or the Mirror Principle.
