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 Preliminary paper submission deadline: 31st January 1994 Acceptance Notification by: 1st April 1994 Camera-ready copy due: 1st June 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. Papers should include a brief abstract, and a list of key words indicating which of the above topics are addressed. A contact address for the author(s) (preferably e-mail) should also be included. Send papers to: NeMLaP, Centre for Computational Linguistics, UMIST, Sackville Street, Manchester, UK.
