For your information. Ivan --------------- Date: Wed, 6 Nov 1996 14:48:36 -0700 (MST) From: Charlene Shepard <charlene@crl.nmsu.edu> Subject: TMI-97 7th International Conference on Theoretical and Methodological Issues in Machine Translation (TMI-97) July 24-28, 1997 Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA First Announcement and Call for Papers The seventh conference in the now well-established TMI series will take place in July 1997 in the historic city of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The date will mark (roughly) the 50th anniversary of Warren Weaver's famous memo which launched modern MT research. TMI-97 will have three major themes: Yesterday -- Contributions should refer to an `old' paper (published before 1965) and show how it is still somewhat relevant to MT today... Today -- Contributions should reflect on current trends in MT, especially the move towards hybrid solutions involving both established and novel techniques; we want to focus on particular problems and trends rather than overall descriptions of existing systems (focus on theoretical and methodological rather than implementational issues)... Tomorrow -- How is MT being integrated with new technologies and media, for example delivery via the Internet, speech translation, MT as part of document collection processing, MT and summarization, information retrieval and extraction, multimodality and multimedia, etc. Submissions referring to the above themes are encouraged. However, submissions on other theoretical and methodological issues will be considered as well. TMI-97 Officers: General Chair: Sergei Nirenburg, Computing Research Lab, NMSU, USA Program Committee Chair: Harold Somers, UMIST, Manchester, UK Publicity and Local Arrangements: Charlene Shepard and James Hamilton, Computing Research Lab, NMSU, USA Program Committee: Lynn Carlson (US Department of Defense) Ido Dagan (Bar Ilan University, Israel) John Hutchins (University of East Anglia, UK) Victor Raskin (Purdue University, USA) Virginia Teller (CUNY, USA) Walther von Hahn (Universitat Hamburg, Germany) Dekai Wu (HKUST, Hong Kong) Details on submissions and submission guidelines, and a Latex style file can be found on the Web at http://www.ccl.umist.ac.uk/staff/harold/TMI/. There you will find a style file and a model paper (for which you will also need the separate example eps file). Important dates Paper submissions February 17, 1997 Acceptance notification April 15, 1997 Final copies due June 2, 1997 Conference dates July 24-28, 1997 Fees and Schedules In progress. Please watch our web page for future announcements. Conference Site The conference meetings will be held on the campus of St. John's College in Santa Fe. Accommodations Fort Marcy Hotel Suites have been selected as the primary conference accommodations. The hotel is low-rise and consists of 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom air-conditioned suites, with one or two bathrooms, fully equipped kitchens, living rooms equipped with TVs, video and CD players. All the suites also feature fireplaces, though in July you will probably not need them. We were able to negotiate favorable rates for the participants of TMI-97. Final arrangements, which should be completed in the near future, will be published on the conference web page. Student level accommodations will also be available in the dormitories at St. John's College. ****************************************************************************** Please visit the conference web site at http://crl.nmsu.edu/Events/TMI/ for further details and conference information updates. ******************************************************************************
