    Preliminary Announcement:

    ACL/HCSNet Advanced Program in Natural Language Processing
    University of Melbourne, 10-14 July 2006

    The Australasian Language Technology Association is pleased to
    announce the ACL/HCSNet Advanced Program in Natural Language
    Processing, to be held at the University of Melbourne in the week
    prior to the COLING/ACL meeting.

    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.

    The University of Melbourne is one of Australia's premier research
    universities. The event will be held in the Department of Computer
    Science, which has state-of-the-art lecture theatres and laboratory
    facilities. The city of Melbourne has been ranked as one of the best
    cities for expatriates to live, on account of the city's
    infrastructure, access, education levels, low crime rate, focus on the
    environment, culture and events, its diversity and connectedness with
    the rest of the world.

    This event is funded by the Association for Computational
    Linguistics, and the ARC Network in Human Communication Science.
