2002 Australasian Natural Language Processing Workshop

Macquarie University's Centre for Language Technology cordially invites you to this one-day workshop on Natural Language Processing to be held in conjunction with the Australian AI conference (AI'02) in Canberra:http://www.cs.adfa.edu.au/~abbass/AI02/index.html

The goals of the workshop are:

• to bring together the growing NLP community in Australia and New Zealand;
• to provide an opportunity for the broader artificial intelligence community to become aware of local NLP research;
• to provide a forum for discussion of new research;
• to foster interaction between academic and industrial 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.
