Text is more available than ever before. All of this data provides a great opportunity, as evidenced by all of the recent activity in Europe, Asia and America, some of which was discussed at last year's meeting in Ohio, just before ACL-93. This year, there will be a special emphasis on parallel texts such as the Canadian Hansards. Parallel texts have been used to study machine translation, bilingual lexicography, and terminology research for human translators. As a result, there has been considerable interest in alignment programs that decide which parts of the source text correspond to which parts of the target text. Performance has been extremely promising, especially for pairs of European languages, though it remains an open question how well these methods might generalize to a broader range of language pairs such as English/Japanese. Authors should submit three copies of a full-length paper (5-10 pages) to the program chair by March 1, 1994. Paper submissions are strongly preferred over electronic submissions. Notifications of acceptance or rejection will be sent out by April 15, 1994. Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) Text Analysis Techniques: - alignment of parallel text - ``robust'' parsing - part of speech tagging - sense tagging - identification of phrases - collocation - morphology - discourse structure Applications: - Translation - Lexicography - Terminology - Information Retrieval (IR) - Recognition: Speech, OCR, handwriting, etc. - Spelling Correction Program Chairs: Pierre Isabelle Kenneth Church Program Committee: to be announced Registration fees: 10,000 Japanese yens Contact: Pierre Isabelle / WVLC2 CITI 1575 Chomedey Blvd. Laval, Quebec Canada H7V 2X2 e-mail: isabelle@citi.doc.ca Return-Path: Received: from CS.CMU.EDU by A.GP.CS.CMU.EDU id aa16608; 4 Feb 94 1:29:17 EST Received: from Csli.Stanford.EDU by CS.CMU.EDU id aa16139; 4 Feb 94 1:28:45 EST Received: from localhost.Stanford.EDU by CSLI.Stanford.EDU (4.1/25-CSLI-eef) id AA18407; Thu, 3 Feb 94 20:57:27 PST Message-Id: <9402040457.AA18407@CSLI.Stanford.EDU> From: isabelle@citi.doc.ca (P.
