CALL FOR PAPERS
ECAI '96 workshop on "Extended finite state models of language"
Aug 11-12, Budapest, Hungary

Organizing Committee: Eva Ejerhed, Umea University (chair)
Frederic Jelinek, Johns Hopkins University
Lauri Karttunen, Xerox PARC and Rank Xerox Research Center
Andras Kornai, IBM Almaden Research Center

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.
