The COGNITIVE SCIENCE of NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING
Dublin City University, 5-7 July 1995

syntax in NLP. Papers dealing with this matter will feature strongly in the
programme.
Invited Speakers:

Mark Steedman, University of Pennsylvania
Alison Henry, University of Ulster
Other areas addressed will include:
Machine Translation

Spoken dialogue
Prosody

Assessment tools and methods
This is a small conference, limited to about 40 delegates. We aim to keep
things relatively informal, and to promote discussion and debate. With two
dozen contributed papers and two invited talks, all outstanding, there should
be plenty of material to interest a wide range of researchers.
Registration and Accommodation:
The registration fee will be IR#60, and will include proceedings, lunches and
one evening meal. Accommodation can be reserved in the campus residences at DCU.
A single room is IR#16 per night, with full Irish breakfast an additional IR#4.
Accommodation will be "First come, first served": there is a heavy demand for
campus rooms in the summer.
There are also several hotels and B&B establishments nearby: addresses will
be provided on request.
