CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Track on
Natural Language Processing and
Human-Computer Interaction
FLAIRS-98
The 11th International FLAIRS Conference
Sundial Beach Resort
Sanibel Island, Florida
May 17-20, 1998
Sponsored by the Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The annual International FLAIRS Conference is an international forum for the
exchange of ideas relating to various aspects of Artificial Intelligence. It
attracts attendees from academia, industry and government. Due to the
significance of Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Human Computer
Interaction (HCI), a conference track has been dedicated to this topic. All
accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, and selected
authors will be invited to submit a full paper to a special issue of the
International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence or
the International Journal of Artificial Intelligence Tools.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Empirical studies in specifying, designing, implementing, and/or
evaluating Natural Language Interfaces
* Multimodal Interfaces with Natural Language modalities
* Natural Language Processing and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work
* Knowledge Representation and Reasoning for Natural
Language/Human-Computer Interfaces and Cooperative Work systems
* Symbolic, connectionist, statistical, and hybrid architectures for
Natural Language/Human-Computer Interfaces
* Speech Recognition and Speech Synthesis in Human-Computer Interfaces
* Demonstrations of implemented NLP/HCI systems (video, on-site, or
Internet)
