Workshops Call for Proposals

The Program Committee of the 43rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL'05) invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the ACL'05 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. We welcome proposals on any topic of interest to the ACL community. We especially encourage interdisciplinary proposals involving, but not limited to, research areas such as speech and multimodal processing, information retrieval, text and data mining, multilingual NLP, web-centered language processing, bioinfomatics, and computational psycholinguistics.
