Computational Linguistics and Intelligent Text Processing: Third International Conference, CICLing 2002, Mexico City, Mexico, February 17-23, 2002 Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2276)

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Intelligent Text Processing and Computational Linguistics, CICLing 2002, held in Mexico City, Mexico in February 2002. The 44 revised papers presented together with four invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 67 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on semantics, word sense disambiguation, amaphora, syntax and parsing, part of speech tagging, lexicon and corpus, text generation, morphology, speech, spelling, information extraction and information retrieval, summarization, text mining, and text classification and categorization, document processing, and demo descriptions. Cicling2002wasthethirdannualconferenceonintelligenttextprocessingand Computational Linguistics (hence The Name Cicling); See Www.cicling.org. It Was Intended To Provide A Balanced View Of The Cutting Edge Developments In Both Theoretical Foundations Of Computational Linguistics And Practice Of Natural Language Text Processing With Its Numerous Applications. A Feature Of Cicling Conferences Is Their Wide Scope That Covers Nearly All Areas Of Computational Linguistics And All Aspects Of Natural Language Processing Applications. The C- Ference Is A Forum For Dialogue Between The Specialists Working In These Two Areas. This Year We Were Honored By The Presence Of Our Invited Speakers Ni- Lettacalzolari (inst. For Computational Linguistics, Italy), Ruslan Mitkov (u.of Wolverhampton, Uk), Ivan Sag (stanford U., Usa), Yorick Wilks (u. Of She?eld), And Antonio Zampolli (inst. For Computational Linguistics, Italy). They Delivered Excellent Extended Lectures And Organized Vivid Discussions. Of 67 Submissions Received, After Careful Reviewing 48 Were Selected For P- Sentation; Of Them, 35 As Full Papers And 13 As Short Papers; By 98 Authors From 19countries: Spain (18 Authors), Mexico (13), Japan, Uk (8each), Israel (7), Germany, Italy, Usa (6each), Switzerland (5), Taiwan(4), Ireland (3), A- Tralia, China, Czechrep., France, Russia (2each), Bulgaria, Poland, Romania (1 Each).

The total of 91 contributions presented was carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the proceedings. The papers are organized in topical sections named: general techniques; lexical resources; morphology and tokenization; syntax and named entity recognition; word sense disambiguation and coreference resolution; semantics and discourse; sentiment, polarity, subjectivity, and opinion; machine translation and multilingualism; text mining, information extraction, and information retrieval; text summarization; stylometry and text simplification; and applications. This text constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Intelligent Text Processing and Computational Linguistics, held in Mexico in 2002. The 44 revised papers and four invited papers cover semantics, word sense disambiguation, amaphora, syntax, parsing and more.
