AVIGNON '91
NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING & ITS APPLICATIONS
Avignon - France, May 27 - 31, 1991.
CALL FOR PAPERS
With over 3,000 attendees and visitors from some 30 countries, the 1990 10th
Avignon International Workshop on Expert Systems and their Applications was the
leading European event of the year in Artificial Intelligence. Avignon '91
will follow the tradition of the previous conferences by including a general
conference on Expert Systems, as well as a series of specialized conferences
dealing with specific fields of application.
A specialized conference on "Natural Language Processing & its Applications"
was held at Avignon '90, where it enjoyed enormous success, especially because
it provided a platform for discussion among users, industrial companies, and
researchers. The Natural Language conference will again be a part of
Avignon'91, and will include papers, invited lectures, and panel sessions,
tutorials, demonstrations, and an industrial forum on natural language.
Topics
______
Papers may cover either applications or techniques. For the first category
(computer assisted translation, interfaces with databases, automatic indexing,
etc.), authors should specify whether the nature of the application is
specialized or general, as well as the degree to which the implementation has
been realized. For technical or scientific papers, linguistic models (dialog,
lexical representations, etc.) should be clearly distinguished from the
computing techniques employed (automatic systems and problem-solving strategies
for analysis or generation).

Authors should submit 7 copies of their papers before January 7, 1991
to the AVIGNON '91 general chairman:
