HLT/NAACL 2004 Student Research Workshop
at
The Human Language Technology Conference of the
North American Chapter of the Association for
Computational Linguistics 2004,(HLT/NAACL 2004).
www.hlt-naacl04.org
May 2nd, 2004,

1. General Invitation for Submissions
Student researchers are invited to submit their work to the upcoming
HLT/NAACL 2004 Student Workshop. The main mission of the workshop is to
provide feedback for students' work in progress. Original and unpublished
research is invited on all aspects of speech, information retrieval, and
computational linguistics, but we encourage research that is in the
intersection of two or three of these areas.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas.
Speech processing, including:
- Speech recognition,
- Speech generation,
- Speech dialogue systems,
- Speech understanding,
- Multilingual issues in speech processing.
Natural language processing, including:
- Text summarization,
- Question answering,
- Information extraction,
- Machine translation of speech and text,
- Parsing,
- Discourse analysis,
- Sense disambiguation,
- Natural language generation,
- Development of language resources e.g. lexicons, ontologies, treebanks,
proposition banks, and frame banks,
- Computational analysis of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax,
semantics, pragmatics, discourse, style,
- Linguistic, mathematical and psychological models of language,
- Understanding of human communication e.g. natural language interfaces,
dialogue structure and dialogue systems, message and narrative
understanding systems,
- HLT system evaluation.
Information Retrieval, including:
- Statistical NLP and machine learning for IR,
- NLP for IR,
- Cross-lingual and multilingual IR,
- Language modeling for IR,
- Text representation and indexing,
- Text classification (categorization or clustering),
- TDT and TREC tasks: novelty detection, filtering, topic tracking,
event clustering, story segmentation,
- Interfaces, visualization, interactive IR,
- IR evaluation, experimental design and metrics.
The conference will also feature tutorials, workshops and demos. See the
main HLT/NAACL 2004 page at www.hlt-naacl04.org for more information.
