The Laboratoire Lorrain de Recherche en Informatique et ses Applications
LORIA in Nancy, France, will host the 7th International Workshop
on Parsing Technologies (IWPT'03) from 23 to 25 April, 2003.
IWPT'03 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; Trento (Italy) in 2000, and Beijing (China) in
2001.
The hosting organisation for IWPT'03, LORIA (Lorraine Laboratory for
Research in Information Technology and its Applications), is a joint
research unit of the following organisations:
- the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS),
- the National Polytechnical Institute of Lorraine (INPL),
- the National Institute for Research in Information Technology and
Automation (INRIA),
- the Henri Poincare' University, Nancy 1,
- the University of Nancy 2.
Topics of interest for IWPT'03
--------------------------------
Topics of interest for IWPT'03 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 knowledge-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 electronically
through the website http://iwpt03.loria.fr (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 or pdf form. Only
