Fifty-three people from accross the world participated in the CHI 99 special interest group on Natural Language in Computer Human-Interaction. The SIG's main goal was to provide an opportunity for CHI 99 attendees from two research communities, natural language processing (NLP) and human-computer interaction (CHI), to discuss issues of mutual interest. The SIG embraced natural-language interfaces of all kinds, inlcuding text, spoken and multi-modal interaction. This report inlcudes the results of e-mail discussions following up on the SIG itself.
