General Information
-------------------
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.

Two types of submissions are distinguished:
- Full papers, to be presented as such during the workshop and to be
published in the workshop proceedings (maximally 12 pages).
Submission of full papers is no longer possible (deadline was June 5).
