SIGDAT, the Association for Computational Linguistics' special interest group on linguistic data and corpus-based approaches to NLP, held EMNLP 2001 in McConomy Auditorium in University Center, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA USA on June 3 and 4, immediately preceding the meeting of the North American Chapter of the ACL (NAACL 2001). We had an exciting program devoted to advances in all areas of traditional interest to the SIGDAT and related fields, as well as to this year's theme, What Works and What Doesn't: Successes and Challenges.

Proceedings

We had two days of paper presentations, plus:

An invited talk by Eric Brill:

The "When Does EM Work?" panel (including an intro to the expectation-maximization algorithm).

Ted Pedersen's handouts: PowerPoint slides and accompanying PDF paper
Eugene Charniak's slides: forthcoming
Stefan Riezler's slides: compressed postscript

The "What Works and What Doesn't: Industrial Perspectives" panel.

Joshua Goodman's slides: powerpoint
David Evan's slides: powerpoint
Lynette Hirschman's slides: powerpoint

The statistics from the opening remarks are available upon request.
