This is for people interested in (shallow) parsing and
machine learning:
The organizers of the EACL workshop on Computational Natural Language
Learning (CoNLL-99, Bergen, Norway, 12th June 1999) invite you
to take part in a shared task: recognising arbitrary noun phrases
in free text annotated with part-of-speech tags. Details of the task
can be found at:
http://lcg-www.uia.ac.be/conll99/npb/
Participants in the shared task will be given the opportunity to
present their results in a short talk (10 minutes) at the CoNLL-99
workshop. They can present their intention to make such a presentation
by sending a short abstract (maximum 15 lines) to erikt@uia.ua.ac.be
on or before the 2nd June 1999.
The abstracts and the results will be presented on the CoNLL-99
website (http://lcg-www.uia.ac.be/conll99/) after the workshop.
