At the same time, the community has returned with renewed enthusiasm to problems of word meaning, especially the delineation and discrimination of word senses. This workshop is intended to address problems of word sense disambiguation and delineation of appropriate sense distinctions, with specific emphasis on approaches that involve more than one language and the ways in which observations about cross-linguistic equivalence affect our consideration of sense divisions in the individual languages. More generally, we seek to foster discussion and exchanges of insight in any area of computational linguistics where a non-monolingual approach to word sense issues is being taken. The workshop will be held for a full day on either October 7 or 8, following the main ACL conference October 3-6. The venue will be the same as for ACL 2000.
Submissions are limited to original, unpublished work.
