    Dear coleagues,

    I would like to invite you to participate in Lisbon on the tutorials
    sessions on "Information Exploitation and Learning from Text". This
    event will occur in September 15-16, at Institututo Superior Técnico.

     Complete information can be found at:
    http://pc-gpl.di.fct.unl.pt/~glint/tutorials/tutorials.html

    It follows a series of workshops and symposia on Machine Learning
    applied to Natural languages that will all take place at the same
    premises:

    5th International Colloquium on Grammatical Inference (ICGI-2000),
    September 11-13, 2000 (http://vinci.inesc.pt/icgi-2000/)

    2nd Learning Language In Logic Workshop (LLL 2000), September 13-14,
    2000

     4th Meeting of the Interest Group on Computational Natural
    Language Learning (CoNLL-2000), September 14, 2000

    Fees for those attending any of the previous workshops, simposium or
    meeting are reduced. As well as the fees for students. Members of APPIA
    pay also reduced fees.

    The organization of the tutorial series on "Information Extraction and
    Learning from Text" was solicited by the Board of APPIA (the Portuguese
    Association for Artificial Intelligence) and its President, Prof. Pavel
    Brazdil.

    The tutorials programme can be found at the web page mentioned above as
    well as other important information

    We will count with the participation of Gregory Grefenstette (Automatic
    Thesaurus Construction); Nuno Marques (Neural nets based POS-tagging and
    unsupervised learning of verbal frame
    subcategorization); Joaquim Ferreira da Silva & Gael Dias (Statistical
    extraction of contiguous and
    non-contiguous patterns of words, characters and POS-tags from text);
    Raymond Mooney (Inductive Logic Programming for Natural Language);
    Walter Daelemans (Memory-Based Language Processing: Applications in
    Language Engineering); Dunja Mladenic (Document Categorization by
    Modeling Human
    Expert); António Ribeiro (Statistical alignment of parallel text and
    extraction of translation equivalents); Vitor Rocio and João Balsa
    (Symbolic adaptive parsing: declarative fault finding, multi-parsers
    correction proposals, results validation and learning)
