    The Institute of Computational Linguistics, Peking University, Beijing,
    China, will host the 7th International Workshop on Parsing Technologies
    (IWPT'01) from 17 to 19 October, 2001.

    IWPT'01 continues the tradition of biennial workshops on parsing
    technology organised by SIGPARSE, the Special Interest Group on Parsing
    of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL). This workshop
    series was initiated by Masaru Tomita in 1989. The first workshop, in
    Pittsburgh and Hidden Valley, was followed by workshops in Cancun
    (Mexico) in 1991; Tilburg (Netherlands) and Durbuy (Belgium) in 1993;
    Prague and Karlovy Vary (Czech Republic) in 1995; Boston/Cambridge
    (Massachusetts) in 1997; and Trento (Italy) in 2000.

    Topics of interest for IWPT'01
    --------------------------------

    Topics of interest for IWPT'01 include, but are not limited to:
    theoretical and practical studies of parsing algorithms for natural
    language sentences, texts, fragments, dialogues, ill-formed sentences,
    speech input, multi-dimensional (pictorial) languages, multimedia (web)
    documents, and parsing issues arising or viewed in a multimodal
    context. Both grammar-based and statistical approaches are welcome.

    Submitting Papers
    -----------------

    Two types of submissions are invited:

    - full papers, to be presented as such during the workshop and to be
      published in the workshop proceedings (maximally 12 pages);

    - short papers, to be presented at the workshop in the form of a poster
      plus a summary oral presentation in a short-paper session; two-page
      summaries will be published in the workshop proceedings.

    Prospective authors are invited to send their submissions to the IWPT'01
    programme chairman Giorgio Satta. (See below for formatting and
    submission instructions.) Full papers should not exceed 12 pages; short
    papers should not exceed 8 pages. Submission is electronically, in
    postscript form. Only in case electronic submission is impossible, four
    (4) hard copies of the paper should be sent. Send papers to:

            iwpt2001@dei.unipd.it
