    Apologies to those of you who receive this more than once.

                  Second call for Papers and Participation:
            ECML/PKDD 2003 Workshop on Learning Context-Free Grammars
               (http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/conference/ecmlpkdd/
                 http://ilk.uvt.nl/~mvzaanen/ECMLPKDD/index.html)
               To be held at Dubrovnik, Monday, September 22, 2003

    Most attention in the field of grammar induction has been set on the
    problem of learning finite state automata, representing regular
    languages. Yet long term dependencies, palindromic structures,
    parenthesis are all internal structures that may appear in a wide
    range of applications and are better described by context free
    grammars. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum specific
    to this question, enabling researchers to present their most recent
    results over the issue of learning context-free grammars.

    We encourage submissions related to the following topics:
    * General learning results concerning the learnability of
      context-free grammars (or sub-classes of these),
    * Classes of context-free grammars for which positive learning
      results can be obtained,
    * Heuristics, and results on typical grammars,
    * Validation issues: benchmarks for context-free grammar learning,
    * Applications of context-free grammar learning,
    * Stochastic context-free grammar learning,
    * Learning context-free grammars from structured data, or
      semi-structured data,
    * Learning tree automata.

    Important dates:
    * Workshop paper submission deadline: June 13, 2003.
    * Workshop paper acceptance notification: July 4, 2003.
    * Workshop paper camera-ready deadline: July 11, 2003.
    * Workshop to be held on the 22nd or 23rd of September, 2003.

    Submission Guidelines:
    Submissions should be sent by June 13, 2003, in the electronic form as
    a PDF or PostScript file to Menno van Zaanen (mvzaanen@uvt.nl),
    Subject: Grammatical Induction workshop submission paper. The papers
    should be formatted as for the main ECML/PKDD-2003 conference
    submissions. The maximum length of papers is 12 pages.
    Submitted papers will be reviewed by referees from the Program
    Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the working notes
    provided by ECML/PKDD-2003.
