crl.go.jp>==================================================================== Call for Papers --- NLPRS2001 Workshop The Second Workshop on Natural Language Processing and Neural Networks (NLPNN2001) Tokyo, Japan, November 30, 2001 http://www2.crl.go.jp/jt/a132/members/qma/NLPNN2001/index.html Artificial neural networks (ANN) based natural language processing (NLP) research began in the early 1980s with papers on implementing semantic networks in ANNs, word-sense disambiguation, anaphora resolution, and syntactic parsing. Since then, with the boom of NLP research based on very large corpora, the ANN, as a powerful parallel and distributed learning/processing machine, has attracted a great deal more attention from both the ANN and NLP researchers and has been successfully used in many areas of NLP. This second workshop on NLP and ANN is to be held in Tokyo as a post-conference workshop of NLPRS2001. It continues the work of the first workshop on NLP and ANN, NLPNN99, successfully held in Beijing two years ago. NLPNN2001 will provide a forum for researchers in the areas of ANN and NLP who are interested in advancing the state of the art in developing NLP techniques using neural networks. For more information on NLPRS2001, see http://www.r.dl.itc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/NLPRS2001.html The papers presented at NLPNN99 are available from http://www2.crl.go.jp/jt/a132/members/qma/NLPNN99/index.html Submissions are invited on all NLP topics in the context of using ANN techniques. A submission consists of a two-page summary (2000 words or less), accompanied by paper title, author information including full names, affiliations of all authors, and the postal and email addresses of the corresponding author. Submissions will be reviewed by the Workshop Program Committee, and authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by email.

hum.uva.nl>AC2001 - The Thirteenth Amsterdam Colloquium - December 17-19, 2001 Second Call for Papers The Thirteenth Amsterdam Colloquium will be held from December 17-19, 2001 at the Universiteit van Amsterdam. The Amsterdam Colloquia aim at bringing together linguists, logicians, philosophers and computer scientists who share an interest in the formal study of semantics of natural and formal languages. The spectrum of topics covered ranges from descriptive (semantic analyses of all kinds of expressions) to theoretical (logical and computational properties of semantic theories, philosophical foundations). The program of the Thirteenth Amsterdam Colloquium consists of: * General Program, which includes invited lectures by: Reinhard Blutner (Berlin) - Gennaro Chierchia (Milan)- Ruth Kempson (London) - Angelika Kratzer (Amherst) * Workshop on Semantics and Cognition, with invited lectures by: Ted Briscoe (Cambridge) - Simon Garrod (Glasgow)- Jonathan Ginzburg (London)- Pieter Muyskens (Nijmegen) - Luc Steels (Antwerp) * Workshop on Games in Language and Logic, which includes an invited lecture by: Rohit Parikh (CUNY) - Robert Stalnaker (MIT) - Robert Sugden (East Anglia) * A special evening session, organized by the Evert W. Beth Foundation, which features the Beth Lecture given by: Hans Kamp (Stuttgart) In the General Program there is room for presentations of approx. 30 contributed papers in parallel sessions. These papers can be on any topic within the scope of the Colloquium. Time allotted for presentation is 30 minutes, including discussion. Submission of abstracts Your submission should consist of: 1. An anonymous abstract of two pages (1000 words max). The abstract must include a short 10 line summary, which clearly indicates subject matter and conclusions of your contribution. 2 A separate page on which are specified: your name, affiliation, postal address, e-mail address and the title of your contribution. (It should contain the same data for co-authors, if any.) Submission by e-mail is encouraged, provided that the abstract and summary, and the personal details page are sent as separate attachments in either postscript, pdf or Word format. Submissions in other file formats can not be accepted. The deadline for submission of abstracts is September 1, 2001. Authors will be notified of acceptance by October 15. Extended 6 page abstracts, to be included in the proceedings, are due on November 15. The proceedings will be distributed at the conference. Multiple submissions are admitted, but no single author is allowed to give more than one presentation. In case authors are involved in more than one submission, one or more of which are co-authored, it should be indicated clearly which author is actually going to give the presentation. Program committee All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by the AC2001 Program Committee, which consists of: Renate Bartsch (Amsterdam) - Johan van Benthem (Amsterdam) - Reinhard Blutner (Berlin)- Gennaro Chierchia (Milan) - Jeroen Groenendijk (Amsterdam) - Angelika Kratzer (Amherst) - Ruth Kempson (London) -Frank Veltman (Amsterdam) Important Dates June 1: Second Call for papers September 1: Deadline for submissions October 15: Notification of acceptance November 15: Deadline for proceedings December 17-19: Thirteenth Amsterdam Colloquium Organization The Amsterdam Colloquia are organized every two years under the auspices of the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) of the Universiteit van Amsterdam. The organizing committee of the Thirteenth Amsterdam Colloquium consists of: Robert van Rooy, Martin Stokhof, Rosja Mastop.
