This is a rather special event I think, as it's the first time that IJCAI has been to India. I don't think our big NLP meetings have been there ever (COLING, ACL...)
So, do think about this - I think IJCAI is a great event (I went in 2003 to Acapulco) and having a publication there is a big accomplishment. ==================================================================== IJCAI-07 CALL FOR PAPERS, WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS ------------------------------------------------------------------- Twentieth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence 6-12 January, 2007 Hyderabad, India www.ijcai-07.org Theme: Artificial Intelligence and Its Benefits to Society The IJCAI-07 program will include workshops, tutorials, and oral and poster presentations of technical papers.
