Meeting Description:

The University of Zadar, organized by the Linguistics Department, the Department of Library and Information Science, and the Psychology Department, in cooperation with the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics, invite all enthusiastic and motivated students, researchers, and colleagues with a strong interest in interdisciplinary approaches to language, cognition and computation to participate at the summer school, workshop and round table covering topics like:

- Language resources and digital annotation technologies and standards - Computational approaches to language processing and analysis - Computational modeling of cognitive aspects of language

The courses will cover the domains of language resources (digitalization, annotation, standards & technologies), grammar induction and machine learning related to languages and linguistics, quantitative linguistic analysis, cognitive models of language related faculties, computation related to text and language processing. The program covers the following courses (in random order):

- Standards for the Digital Representation of Language Data and Interoperation Helen Aristar Dry & Anthony Aristar (Eastern Michigan University, The LINGUIST List)

- Introduction to the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines Tomaz Erjavec (Dept. of Knowledge Technologies, Jozef Stefan Institute)

- Comparing Methods in Natural Language Generation and Cognitive Processes in Language Production Ralf Klabunde (University of Bochum, Linguistics Dept.)

- Quantitative Typology: A Practical Introduction into Data Exploration and Visualization Using R Gerhard Jaeger (University of Tuebingen, Dept. of Linguistics)

- Dynamic Cognitive Modeling Peter beim Graben (Humboldt Universitaet, Berlin)

- Language and Optimality Reinhard Blutner (University of Amsterdam, Institute for Logic, Language and Computation)

- Quantitative and Qualitative Computational Analysis of Language and Text Similarities, Clustering and Classification Damir Cavar (University of Zadar, Linguistics Dept.)

- Analogy in Theoretical and Computational Linguistics Laszlo Kalman (Dept. of Theoretical Linguistics, Lorand Eotvos University & Research Institute for Linguistics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences)

- Grammatical Inference: Learning Automata and Grammars Colin de la Higuera (Nantes University, Laboratoire d'Informatique)

- Introduction to Speech Recognition Davor Petrinovic (University of Zagreb, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing)

- Introduction to Weighted Finite-State Automata Thomas Hanneforth (University of Potsdam, Linguistics Dept.)

- Modeltheoretic Syntax, Modal Logic and Semistructured Data Marcus Kracht (University of Bielefeld, Arbeitsbereich Texttechnologie und Computerlinguistik)
