Institute, The deadline for submissions to the NLDB 2007
Doctoral Consortium is 22nd February 2007 This year,
the 12th international Conference on Natural Language Applications to
Information Systems (NLDB 2007) is organizing a Doctoral Consortium to
encourage PhD students, who are studying aspects of Natural Language Processing
related to information systems, to meet and discuss their research in a relaxed
environment, under the guidance of leading Natural Language Processing,
Computer science and Information Systems academics. Contributions are
welcome in all topics covered by NLDB07 (please see www.nldb.org). The
Consortium will take place at CNAM (Paris) on 26th June 2007. The Doctoral Consortium will
provide students, in early as well as advanced stages of their doctoral
studies, an opportunity to share their research with peers and researchers in
their field. Additionally, it will provide the opportunity to meet and network
with other doctoral students and researchers and to initiate new research
projects or develop their network of research colleagues. The
Consortium is limited to 15 students who will be mentored by leading academics
in Natural Language Processing to Information systems and Computer
Sciences. In order to
attend the Consortium students must prepare a research proposal of their work, this
should not exceed 8 pages. Their proposals must be submitted with a letter of
recommendation, confirming that their home institution will be prepared to
cover their attendance costs should they be selected to attend the
Consortium. The selection
criteria for the consortium are quality of the proposal and relevance of the
research to the field of Natural Language Processing related to Information
Systems. The Doctoral Consortium chair
will assign each submission to two members of the NLDB review committee who
will provide the relevant feedback, and will be retained within one of the
conference tracks if judged of an acceptable quality. The doctoral consortium
submissions are accepted only in NLDB formats.
For accepted
