If you want an electronic copy of the entire conference program, please contact the author. -CW ] RIAO 91 PROGRAM CONFERENCE with presentation of prototypes and operational systems INTELLIGENT TEXT AND IMAGE HANDLING Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona Barcelona, Spain - April 2-5, 1991 AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE GENERAL INTRODUCTION The purpose of the conference is to present the state of the art in the storage, retrieval and dissemination of non- structured information found in text, image and sound. This field is developing rapidly : the entire information technology industry is a convergence of computing, telecommunications and multimedia techniques. Conditions are continually improving, enabling users' needs and desires for extensive and convivial access to information to be satisfied. The previous survey of the "state of the art" in this field, "RIAO 88" held at M.I.T. (Cambridge - U.S.A.) in March 1988, was a resounding success, bringing together members of the international scientific community working in these fields. "RIAO 91" will take place at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain) from April 2-5, 1991. This conference will present, on one hand, recent scientific research, and on the other, demonstrations of prototypes resulting from this research as well as the most innovative new products appearing on the market. General theme Full-text and heterogeneous media data bases are characterized by the fact that the structure of the information that they contain can rarely be known a priori. Traditional hierarchical and relational database management systems provide inadequate treatment. The absence of homogeneous structure and the great diversity of information in even moderately sized bases prevent foreseeing the set of questions to be asked. Information research remains a difficult problem, yet computing techniques and technologies seems to provide more power than is being used. The specialized themes are: Hypermedia. Document input. Structured text and software architecture. Natural language. Multilinguism. Information retrieval systems. IR and DBMS. Knowledge extraction from text. Image handling. Speech technology and data compression. ------------------------------ End of NL-KR Digest *******************
