kub.nl>- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Fourth International Workshop on COMPUTATIONAL SEMANTICS (IWCS-4) January 10-12, 2001, Tilburg, The Netherlands ------------- Sponsored by SIGSEM, the ACL Special Interest Group in Computational Semantics ------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence Unit at Tilburg University will host the Fourth International Workshop on Computational Semantics (IWCS-4), that will take place from 10-12 January 2001. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in any aspects of the computation of meaning in natural language or in language-based multimedia objects. +------------------------+ | INVITED SPEAKERS: | | | | James Allen | | Jan van Eijck | | Alex Lascarides | | | +------------------------+ TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest for the workshop will be computational aspects of formal semantic theories as well as theoretical issues in building natural language understanding systems, including systens where language is used in a multimedia setting. Papers are invited in areas which include, but are not limited to, the following specific topics: * working with underspecified representations of meaning * modelling and using context for interpretation * the relations between semantics and pragmatics * dynamic interpretation in text and dialogue * interpretation and games * computational lexical semantics * interpretation and inference * meaning in multimedia objects * interpretation and optimality * speech acts and interpretation * incrementality and monotonicity in interpretation * knowledge representation and reasoning in meaning computation SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Authors are asked to submit an original paper of maximally 5000 words by September 15, 2000, by email in Postscript form. All submitted papers that are received in time will be refereed by the programme committee and may be accepted for full presentation at the workshop and publication in the proceedings, or for a short/poster presentation and publication of a 2-page abstract. We also aim at publishing a selection of accepted papers in book form. Accepted papers should be submitted in final form in LaTeX; guidelines for the preparation of manuscripts are available at the IWCS web pages: http://www.sigsem.org/iwcs4.html For initial submission email a Postscript version of the paper to: Computational.SemanticsMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
cc.helsinki.fi>!!!!!!!!!!! FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The 13th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information ESSLLI'01 University of Helsinki Finland August 13-24, 2001 http://www.helsinki.fi/esslli The 13th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI'01) will take place at the University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland, during two weeks in August, from August 13 until 24. The ESSLLI Summer Schools are organised under the auspices of FoLLI ( http://www.folli.uva.nl ), the European Association for Logic, Language and Information. The main focus of the European Summer Schools is the interface between linguistics, logic and computation. Foundational, introductory and advanced courses together with workshops cover a wide variety of topics within six areas of interest: * Logic * Language * Computation * Logic and Langu * Logic and Computation * Language and Computation Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting around 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and Information. In addition to courses, workshops and evening lectures there will be a Student Session and a Social Program. The number of courses offered is around 50. LOCAL INFORMATION: A gateway between East and West, the city of Helsinki is one of the nine European Cities of Culture for the millennium. The scientific program of ESSLLI'01 will be held in the Helsinki University Main Building, located on the University city campus at the very centre of Helsinki. The accommodation for students will be arranged in University houses at the city campus.
