2001 Australasian Natural Language Processing Workshop
Friday, 20th April 2001
Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia
Purpose
We are organizing a one-day workshop on Natural Language Processing at
Macquarie University in Sydney. The goals of the workshop are to bring
together the growing NLP community in Australia and New Zealand, and to
provide an opportunity for the broader computer science community to become
aware of local NLP research. Our hope is to get as many Australasian
NLPers together as possible to encourage dialogue between those working
on similar topics and between areas with a - perhaps as yet untapped -
potential to interact.
We invite the submission of papers on substantial, original, and unpublished
research on all aspects of natural language processing, including, but
not limited to, speech understanding and generation; phonology, morphology,
syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse; interpreting and generating
spoken and written language; linguistic, mathematical, and psychological
models of language; language-oriented information extraction and retrieval;
corpus-based and statistical language modeling; machine translation and
translation aids; natural language interfaces and dialogue systems; message
and narrative understanding systems; and computational lexicography.
As you can see we welcome submissions on any topic that is of interest
to the NLP community, but we particularly encourage submissions that broaden
the scope of our community through the consideration of practical NLP applications.
We especially invite people from industry working on NLP to send us their
submissions and offer an opportunity to discuss and demonstrate their latest
applications in front of an informed audience.

Submission Format
Initial submissions should be in the form of four-page extended abstracts,
printed single-spaced in 12 point font. The first page should include the
paper title, author(s) name(s), complete addresses including email address
and fax number, and a short (5 line) summary. We only accept electronic
submissions of PDF or PostScript files. If we cannot print your file by
the submission date it will be rejected without being reviewed. Therefore
you are encouraged to send an early version with the typographical complexity
of your final intended version so that we can check it is printable. Electronic

Notification of receipt will be mailed to the first author (or designated
