[apologies for multiple postings] Workshop on Natural Language and Computer Science (NLCS '13) http://www.indiana.edu/~iulg/nlcs.html A workshop to be held at LiCS'13: June 28, 2013 New Orleans, Louisiana Endorsed by the Association for Computational Linguistics Special Interest Group on Computational Semantics. AIMS AND SCOPE Formal tools coming from logic and category theory are important in both natural language semantics and in computational semantics. Moreover, work on these tools borrows heavily from all areas of theoretical computer science. In the other direction, applications having to do with natural language has inspired developments on the formal side. The workshop invites papers on both topics. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: * logic for semantics of lexical items, sentences, discourse and dialog * continuations in natural language semantics * formal tools in textual inference, such as logics for natural language inference * applications of category theory in semantics * linear logic in semantics * formal approaches to unifying data-driven and declarative approaches to semantics IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: May 1, 2013 Notification: May 15, 2013 Workshop Date: 28 June 2013 Possible Extension to: 29 June 2013 LICS'13 Dates: 25-28 June 2013 INVITED SPEAKERS Ian Pratt-Hartmann, University of Manchester, UK. Wlodek Zadrozny, UNC, Charlotte, North Carolina. LENGTH OF THE WORKSHOP We plan for a one-day workshop, but with sufficient interest we have the option to extend the workshop to a second day.
