Purpose: In recent years there has been a steadily increasing interest in alternative theories and methodologies to the mainstream techniques of symbolic computational linguistics. This international conference will provide a forum for researchers in the broad area of new methods in NLP, i.e., symbolic and non-symbolic techniques of analogy-based, statistical, and connectionist processing, to present their most recent research and to discuss its implications. In order to focus the conference, however, it is intended to concentrate on research primarily involving written NLP. It is also hoped that the conference will promote discussion in general terms of what this branch of NLP hopes to achieve and how far this paradigm can take NLP in the future. Topics of Interest: * Example- and Memory-based MT * Corpus-based NLP * Bootstrapping techniques * Analogy-based NLP * Connectionist NLP * Statistical MT/NLP * Theoretical issues of sub-symbolic vs. symbolic NLP * Hybrid approaches Programme Committee: Co-chairs: Harold Somers, Daniel Jones (UMIST) Ken Church (AT&T) Hitoshi Iida (ATR) Sergei Nirenburg (CMU) David Powers (IMPACT) James Pustejovsky (Brandeis University) Satoshi Sato (JAIST) Noel Sharkey (Exeter University) Royal Skousen (Brigham Young University) Jun-ichi Tsujii (UMIST) Susan Warwick-Armstrong (ISSCO) Yorick Wilks (Sheffield University) Preliminary paper submission deadline: 31st March 1994 Acceptance Notification by: 1st June 1994 Camera-ready copy due: 1st August 1994 Submission Requirements: Authors should submit FOUR *hard* copies of a preliminary version of the paper (NOT an outline or abstract) which should be no longer than 6 (A4) pages long, printed no smaller than 10-point.
