CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

     The organizers of the Second Meeting of 
 the North American Chapter of the ACL invite proposals for workshops
 to be held in conjunction with the NAACL 2001 Conference. The
 workshops, including the Student Research Workshop
 (http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~aclstu/naacl01-student/), will meet on
 June 3-4, 2001, preceding the main conference (June 5-7) and in
 parallel with EMNLP-2001.

 We welcome proposals on any topic of interest to the ACL community.
 We also encourage proposals involving outreach to areas outside the
 traditional foci of ACL meetings, such as speech recognition,
 information retrieval, data mining, and biological sequence
 analysis; and proposals involving the integration of perspectives
 and techniques from different fields.
