The organizers of the EACL workshop on Computational Natural Language
Learning (CoNLL-99, Bergen, Norway, 12th June 1999) invite you

from text annotated with part-of-speech tags. Details of the task

Participants in the shared task will be given the opportunity to
present their results in a short talk (10 minutes) at the CoNLL-99
workshop. They can present their intention to make such a presentation 
by sending a short abstract (maximum 15 lines) to erikt@uia.ua.ac.be
on or before the 2nd June 1999. 

The abstracts and the results will be presented on the CoNLL-99
website (http://lcg-www.uia.ac.be/conll99/) after the workshop.
