General information

The conference is intended to the exchange of opinions between the scientists of different countries in the growing area of computational linguistics and intelligent text processing We do not refine to this or that particular area of this science. Our idea is to get a bird's-eye view of the state of art in computational linguistics.

The conference is held at the Center for Computing Research (CIC) of the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN), Mexico. The National Polytechnic Institute is one of the largest universities in the world with over 120,000 students. The Center for Computer Research is recently created center of this institute that is now one of the leaders in research in different areas of computer science.

The conference will be held in Mexico City, Mexico, from February 13 to 19, 2000.

One of the exciting things at the conference, of course, not counting the conference itself, is its cultural program that includes excursions to the ancient Indian pyramids and visiting a unique nature phenomenon - Monarch Butterfly wintering site where there are millions of insects on several square kilometers.
