Job opportunity at
Edify NLRG
The Edify Natural Language Research
Group is looking for an experienced NLP researcher to
join a growing team of researchers and software engineers working on innovative
technology for intelligent natural language interfaces, using both spoken and
text-based interaction.
Candidates should have a track record in the area of robust parsing and/or information extraction, and should be familiar with finite
state and statistical NLP techniques.
Excellent programming skills are required, as is the ability to work
both independently and as part of a team. A knowledge of NLP system evaluation
methodology and XML would also be desirable.
The Edify Natural Language Research Group is located in Edinburgh, Scotland and
enjoys strong cooperative links with the NLP and AI research communities at the
University of Edinburgh. Established in 1990, Edify Corporation www.edify.com , a wholly owned subsidiary of
S1 Corporation, is a global leader in customer interaction solutions that offer
organizations the means to automate, integrate and personalize interactions
with customers through multiple channels. Edify's state-of-the art technology
is primarily used by companies who desire an open, highly flexible platform to
manage and strengthen customer relationships using interactive voice response,
natural language speech recognition, web, e-mail, fax, or wireless devices.
Please send your resume and a letter
describing your research interests to:
jennifer.cameron@edify.com

Prof. Ted Nelson,
Just in case you don't know who this is...
Ted Nelson is the man who invented the word
"Hypertext".

TITLE:
"Ideas, the Final Frontier:
Computers Beyond Hierarchy and the Web
beyond HTML"
ABSTRACT:
Most uses of computers simulate either hierarchy, paper, or both (Acrobat and
the Web). Hierarchy is notably unsuited
to most human thought, creativity, and ongoing changes of projects; paper is a
form of confinement to which we have adapted for two millennia, though the
ideas have tried to escape for a thousand years-- through footnotes,
annotations, parallelisms, and creative layout.
If we dare to challenge these traditions, the alternatives still need
structuring for implementation. The
issue is the optimal representation of ideas-- what relations among discrete
structures can best replace hierarhical directories, and what generalizations
of electronic document will allow profuse bidirectional connections, track
content flow from version to version, allow publishing of annotations and
ongoing parallel documents, and permit large-scale quotation of copyrighted
material? (All are vital for a true electronic literature.)
The alternatives Ted proposes are simple, straightforward, and deeply different
from the prevailing paradigms.
Ted Nelson is a Project Professor at Keio University in Fujisawa, Japan.
"From October 1960, Ted firmly predicted the era of personal computing and
mass-marketed software as a direct extrapolation of early CRT-based computers,
such as the PDP-1 of that year); the universal migration of work to computer
screens; interactive media based on personal computers, generalizing writing
and movies as we already knew them; and populist world-wide uncontrollable
anarchic hypertext based also on personal computers, both as distributed small
servers and as mass-market clients. He did not make these predictions
diplomatically, so that many who heard him were enraged at the time and do not
like to remember or acknowledge now that he said all these things that
early. (Indeed, very little that he
said was actually comprehended.)
In his software designs he has always urged breaking away from the paper model,
rather than imitating paper-- but since the Xerox PARC interfaces were
popularised in 1984 as the Macintosh, computers have been made to imitate
paper. This is rather like the way that
trained animals are made to imitate people, because it makes people feel
comfortable, unthreatened and smug.
Ted has always had a complete general design for a complete general alternative
world of software, based on parallel documents, deep interconnection,
side-by-side intercomparison and swooping high performance, massive rearrangement with origins showing, and new
forms of copyright permission and micropayment.
The details of this vision and design have continually changed, but the ideas
have stayed the same. These designs
have been generally considered ignorant, silly, bizarre, too radical,
unimaginable, impossible, deranged, delirious, insane and crazed. "Until
now."
More details and a poster for the event can be downloaded at:
http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/research/ilash/Seminars/index.html
This is a reminder that the deadline
for three of the Alternate Tracks is only four days
away - these are Education, Global Community and Web Engineering. Submissions
will close at 12 midnight Hawaii Standard Time
(HST) on Nov. 27, 2001. Hawaii's time zone is -10 GMT.
The Alternate Tracks aim to broaden the conference with new areas and formats,
and this year's themes have been developed from very successful tracks at previous
events. The Alternate Tracks are also
peer-reviewed.

Hypertext
From online documentation aboard aircraft carriers to distance learning degree
programs to interactive entertainment, hypertext and hypermedia have
transformed our world. The foremost international conference on hypertext and
hypermedia, the International Hypertext conference brings together scholars,
researchers, and practitioners from a diverse array of disciplines--including
computing, literature, law, art, medicine, business, journalism, philosophy,
psychology, and engineering--to consider the form, role, and impact of
hypertext and hypermedia. Hypertext 2002 will continue to provide a forum where
attendees can exchange and discuss ideas on hypermedia, its design and use in a
variety of domains, while also considering the ability of these technologies to
alter the way we read, write, argue, learn, exchange information, or entertain
ourselves.
Scope
Hypertext 2002 welcomes discussions from designers and users of hypermedia
applications and works in academia, business, entertainment, and industry. Here
attendees can discuss all aspects of hypermedia, ranging from navigational
aids, time, and infrastructures to digital libraries, interactive literature,
virtual and augmented reality environments, gaming, human-computer interaction,
software engineering, computer-supported collaborative work, and, of course,
the World Wide Web.
Formats for presentation include papers, panels and technical briefings, short
papers and posters, demonstrations, exhibits, courses, workshops, and a
doctoral consortium.
Paper topics include but are not limited to:
Interactive games and entertainment
Effects of hypermedia on business or industry
Experiences with the application of hypermedia
Innovative hypertexts and novel uses of hypertext and hypermedia
Web-based hypermedia drama
Collaborative hypermedia technology and applications
Hypermedia in virtual environments and augmented reality environments
Hypermedia in fiction, scholarship, and technical writing
Hypermedia in education and training
Empirical studies and hypermedia evaluation
Hypermedia and time: narratives and storyboarding
Hypertext rhetoric and criticism
Integration and open hypermedia architectures
Large-scale distributed hypermedia
Structuring hypermedia documents for reading and retrieval
Theories, models, architectures, standards, and frameworks
Hypermedia user interfaces
Object-oriented hypermedia
Hypermedia infrastructure technologies
Hypermedia middleware and components
Hypermedia authoring
