HISTORY and BACKGROUND of PACLIC


CONFERENCE TOPICS

Oral and Interactive Sessions:
Original researches in linguistic theory and its application to and/or ramifications for language and speech processing, focusing on Chinese, Korean, Japanese and other languages used in the Pacific-Asia region, have been accepted for oral and interactive sessions.



MISSION
The most important purpose of this conference is to provide a forum where researchers in different fields of study (such as linguistics, logic, computer science, sotfware engineering, mathematics, philosohpy, etc) in different regions (such as China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Korea, Japan and elsewhere) working on issues related to different languages (such as Chinese, Korean, Japanese, English, or whatever) can come together and talk, get to know each other, learn old wisdom, be enlightened by new insights and generally get entertained intellectually, and come home ready to initiate a new research program with new research partners in a new state of mind.

We are well aware that around the world and within the Pacific-Asia region, there are more linguistics conferences and workshops than one can care to attend and more NLP meetings than one can submit abstracts to. On the other hand, if you are working on the border of two or more fields, like contrasting Japanese and Korean reciprocals, or working on trilingual corpus of Chinese, English and Russian, sometimes it's hard to get the right kind of audience.

Thus, PACLIC18 aims to be a 'cross-cultural' event. We value hybrid talks on linguistic principles and implementation details, massive data collection and extraction of abstract rules, automated knowledge aquisition and philosophical contemplation, although pure theory and pure technology will also be appreciated. We welcome bi-lingual or multi-lingual research, while due respects will be paid to mono-lingual research.

  • PACLIC 10, December 27-28, 1995, City University of Hong Kong
    Quoting extensively from PACLIC 10 CFP, ...
    It was the consensus of the organisers of the 1994 Joint Conference of the Asian Conference on Language, Information and Computation (ACLIC) and the Pacific Asia Conference on Formal and Computational Linguistics (PACFoCoL) that the two conferences would continue to be held jointly in the future as the Pacific Asia Conference on Language, Information and Computation, with the 1995 conference being numbered the 10th.
    This joint conference brings together researchers of diverse background interested in theoretical and computational linguistics in the Pacific Asia region. Topics of the conference include theoretical and computational studies in syntax, morphology, semantics, pragmatics, discourse and dialogue analysis, corpus linguistics, logic grammars and formal modelling of other linguistic phenomena.

    Quoting extensively from the Joint Conference of the 8th Asian Conference on Language, Information and Computation and the 2nd Pacific Asia Conference on Formal and Computational Linguistics CFP, ...
    The Logico-Linguistic Society of Japan is pleased to announce that the 1994 Joint Conference of the 8th ACLIC/the 2nd PacFoCoL is going to be held at Shiran Kaikan in Kyoto on August 10-11, 1994. This is the first effort to bring together the two conferences which have been specifically concerned with the development of milieus conducive to the exchange and mutual understanding of current research trends among the researchers working on theoretical and computational linguistics in this region. Topics of the conference include theoretical and computational studies in syntax, morphology, semantics, pragmatics, discourse and dialogue analysis, corpus linguistics, and logic grammars. Around 20 papers will be presented at plenary sessions. The authors will have 30 minutes for presentation and quesion period.
  • PacFoCoL I, August 30-31, 1993, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan
