***Apologies for multiple posting*** Fifth Workshop on Natural Language and Computer Science NLCS '18 July 7-8, 2018 Oxford, UK http://www.indiana.edu/~iulg/nlcs.html A workshop affiliated with Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) 2018 Endorsed by the Association for Computational Linguistics Special Interest Group on Computational Semantics. We are grateful to Jesus College, Oxford, for their support of our workshop. 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 includes, 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 INVITED SPEAKERS Ann Copestake, University of Cambridge PROGRAM COMMITTEE Ash Asudeh, Oxford University/Carleton University Simon Charlow, Rutgers University Valeria de Paiva, Nuance.com Thomas Graf, State University of New York, Stony Brook Aurelie Herbelot, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona Larry Moss, Indiana University, Bloomington Christian Retoré, Université de Montpellier Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh, Queen Mary University of London Annie Zaenen, Stanford University PAPER SUBMISSIONS Extended abstracts of up to 10 pages may be submitted through Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nlcs18 ORGANIZERS Ash Asudeh, Oxford University/Carleton University Valeria de Paiva, Nuance.com Larry Moss, Indiana University, Bloomington IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: May 10, 2018 Author notification: May 20, 2018 Electronic versions of papers due: to be announced Workshop: July 7-8, 2018 [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
