The deduction component can attempt to prove these conjuncts in a variety of orders. We have been investigating some of these possible orders. For example, one plausible candidate is that one should work from the inside out, trying first to solve the reference problems of arguments of predications before attempting to solve the compound nominal and metonymy problems presented by those predications. In our framework, this is an issue of where subgoals for the deduction component should be placed on an agenda.", |

As we implement the local pragmatics operations, we are using a knowledge base containing only the axioms that are needed for the test examples. Thus, it grows slowly as we try out more and more texts. As we gain greater confidence in the pragmatics operations, we will move more and more of the axioms from our commonsense and domain knowledge bases into the system's knowledge base. Our initial versions of the pragmatics operations are, for the most part, fairly standard techniques recast into our abstract framework. When the knowledge base has reached a significant size, we will begin experimenting with more general solutions and with various constraints on those general solutions.", |

LSA SUMMER LINGUISTIC INSTITUTE: ACL-87 will be preceded and followed by the 54th LSA Institute at Stanford University, which will be co-sponsored by the ACL and the AAAI. Computational linguistics will be the major focus for the Institute. The week preceding the 25th Annual Meeting will feature ten 8-hour courses that can be taken by ACL members as tutorials. The IJCAI conferences are the main forums for the presentation of artificial intelligence research to an international audience. The goal of IJCAI-87 is to promote scientific interchange, within and between all subfields of AI, among researchers from all over the world. The conference is sponsored by the International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence, Inc. (IJCAII). In response to the growing interest in engineering issues within the AI community, IJCAI-87's Technical Program will have two distinct tracks: science and engineering. The science papers, presented Sunday through Wednesday (23-26 August), will stress the computational principles underlying cognition and perception in man and machine. The engineering papers, presented Tuesday through Friday (25-28 August), will highlight pragmatic issues that arise in applying these computational principles. Tutorials will be presented on Sunday and Monday in parallel with the first two days of the science paper presentations.", |

Its purpose is to promote interaction between members of the AI community. It does this by announcing the existence of AI tools, and acting as a pointer into the literature. Thus the AI community will have access to a common, extensional definition of the field, which will:\u2022 promote a common terminology, \u2022 discourage the reinvention of wheels, and \u2022 act as a clearing house for ideas and software. The catalogue is a reference work providing a quick guide to the AI tools available for different jobs. It is not intended to be a textbook like the Artificial Intelligence Handbook.It, intentionally, only provides a brief description of each tool, with no extended discussion of the historical origin of the tool or how it has been used in particular AI programs. The focus is on techniques abstracted from their historical origins.The original version of the catalogue was hastily built in 1983 as part of the UK SERC-DoI, IKBS, Architecture Study. It has now been adopted by the UK Alvey Programme and is both kept as an on-line document undergoing constant revision and refinement and published as a paperback by Springer Verlag. Springer Verlag have agreed to reprint the Catalogue at frequent intervals in order to keep it up to date.The on-line and paperback versions of the catalogue meet different needs and differ in the entries they contain. In particular, the on-line version was designed to promote UK interaction and contains all the entries we received that meet the criteria defined below.

It should contain sufficient information to allow the programme committee to determine the scope of the work and its relation to relevant literature. SCHEDULE: Summaries must be submitted by 15 November 1986. Authors will be notified of acceptance by 1 February 1987. Camera-ready copies of final papers prepared in a double-column model paper format must be received by 3 April 1987, that is, at the end of the Conference, along with a signed copyright release statement. California TOPICS OF INTEREST: Papers are invited on substantial, original, and unpublished research on all aspects of computational linguistics, theoretical or applied. Papers that demonstrate the power of a technique for computational purposes or present new ideas together with a comparison and evaluation of their implications for current research are particularly welcomed. Extended abstracts must be received by 12 January 1987. Authors will be notified of acceptance by 2 March 1987. Camera-ready copies of final papers prepared in a double-column model paper format must be received by 30 April 1987, along with a signed copyright release statement." |
