at the HLT-NAACL 2003 Conference,
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Workshop Goal
The main goal of the Workshop on Text Meaning is to re-establish the
research community of knowledge-based meaning processing and to help
to explicate the currently implicit treatments of meaning in
knowledge-lean approaches and how the advances in the latter and in
formal semantics should influence the task.
