The NAACL 2001 Program Committee invites proposals for the Demonstrations Program. This program is primarily to encourage the early exhibition of research prototypes, but interesting mature systems are also eligible (commercial sales and marketing activities are not appropriate in the Demonstration program, and should be arranged as part of the NAACL 2001 Exhibit Program)

Areas of Interest

We would like to encourage the submission of proposals for demonstrations of software related to any areas of computational linguistics. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
