    CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: ANLP-NAACL 2000 STUDENT RESEARCH WORKSHOP

    This year, student members will be presenting their exciting work in
    progress at the newly designed Student Research Workshop. If you've ever
    wanted to provide encouragement and scientific guidance to upcoming
    researchers, this is your opportunity. Registration for the workshop is
    included in your conference registration fee, and we encourage everyone to
    attend and participate. The workshop will take place on Sunday, April 30,
    and will run all day.

    Our review committee has selected eight student papers for presentation at
    the workshop based on their scholarship, originality, and technical merit.
    These papers (listed below) cover many areas of NLP, including:
    - text planning and natural language generation
    - corpus-based and statistical text processing
    - information extraction and information retrieval
    - machine translation
    - robust parsing and syntactic error detection
    - word sense disambiguation and semantic annotation
    - discourse and aggregation

    In addition to audience comments, a panel of established scientists, each an
    expert in areas relevant to the student presentations, will be chosen to
    provide the students with in-depth feedback and suggestions on future
    directions, similar to the highly acclaimed Doctoral Consortia at other
    conferences. This new format is intended to provide students with
    invaluable exposure to outside perspectives on their work, and will also
    allow them to put their work into perspective based on feedback from the
    panel. If you would like to be considered to serve on the scientific panel,
    please contact the workshop co-chairs at <naacl00@cs.rochester.edu>.

    PLEASE NOTE: pre-registration for the workshop is strongly encouraged.
    Please indicate your desire to attend by checking the appropriate box on the
    conference registration form. Registered participants will receive detailed
    information about the schedule and location of the workshop at a later date.
    Up-to-date information is also available on the workshop home page
    <http://www.cs.rochester.edu/u/dbyron/naacl2000>.

    We invite you to come to the Student Research Workshop to hear some
    excellent presentations by the next generation of CL scientists, and to
    encourage these and other students in their ongoing and future research!
