Hi everyone,
As indicated earlier, we will be hosting the meeting at Nuance in Sunnyvale, February 24-28. If you want to look up the location on a map, the address is 1198 E. Arques Avenue, at the intersection of Lawrence Expressway and Central Expressway. The nearest train station is the Lawrence station, about a 10 minute walk.
It is now time to develop the schedule. Following tradition, our tentative proposal is to allocate blocks of time roughly as follows:
Monday: Feature committee and parse comparison (Jani has sent out the sentences)
Tuesday morning: Grammar reports Tuesday afternoon: General session (proposal: a tutorial/discussion on grammar debugging in XLE)
Wednesday morning: Papers/discussion Wednesday afternoon: Symposium at CSLI/Stanford celebrating Pargram’s 20th anniversary
Thursday: Papers/discussion
Friday morning: Planning and wish list, especially about the new arrangements for XLE distribution and maintenance.
Please let us know whether you plan to come (for local logistics), and also let us know whether you would like to present a paper, suggestion a topic for discussion, or organize a more focused workshop session.
Best,
Annie and Ron
