Summary

This event will consist of advanced tutorials on major topics of current research interest in NLP. The material will be organised around four themes: NLP/IR; probabilistic parsing; lexical semantics; and discourse & dialogue. Presenters for each theme are currently being finalised.

The goals are two-fold: to encourage international students to come to Australia for the COLING/ACL by providing a second week of NLP content, and to give Australian students the benefit of extended interaction with researchers who will be attending the COLING/ACL. Places are strictly limited.

Twenty ACL Studentships will be available on a competitive basis, covering the cost of registration and accommodation. Preference will be given to students who have a paper accepted at the COLING/ACL conference or a satellite event.

This event is funded by HCSNet and the Association for Computational Linguistics.
