Fifth International Workshop on
COMPUTATIONAL SEMANTICS
(IWCS-5)

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
Tilburg University will host the Fifth International Workshop on
Computational Semantics (IWCS-5), which will take place from 15-17
January 2003. The aim of the workshop is to bring together
researchers interested in any aspects of the computation of
meaning in natural language, in language-based multimedia objects,
or in multimodal messages.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest for the workshop will be computational aspects of
semantic theories and theoretical issues in building natural language
understanding systems. Papers are invited in areas which include, but
are not limited to, the following:
* construction and use of natural language semantic representations
* knowledge representation and reasoning in meaning computation
* learning lexical semantics from corpora
* meaning representation in multimodal interaction
* the semantic web, ontologies and natural language semantics
* meaning in multimedia objects
* the computational semantics-pragmatics interface
* modelling and using context for semantic interpretation
* computational semantics of speech acts
* logic and use of underspecified representations of meaning
* monotonicity and shallow reasoning in interpretation
* dynamic interpretation in text, speech and dialogue
* inductive logic programming and computational semantics
* semantic aspects of language generation
* shallow processing and formal semantics

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Submission of full papers
-------------------------
Authors are asked to submit an original paper of maximally 14 pages by
September 15, 2002. Files should be prepared with LaTeX and initial
submissions should be in postscript format. (For accepted papers we
will need the LaTeX source code to prepare the proceedings.) The page
limit presupposes the standard 11 point Computer Modern font and
default LaTeX formatting. All papers will be refereed by the programme
committee. We aim at publishing a selection of accepted papers in book
form after the workshop.
Email your postscript file to: computational.semantics at kub.nl
There are two levels of acceptance:
- Acceptance for a long (30 min.) presentation. The full paper will be
published in the proceedings, available at the time of the workshop.
- Acceptance for a flash (5 min.) presentation in a plenary session
plus presentation of a poster in one of the poster sessions. Authors
will be invited to publish a 3-page abstract in the proceedings.
Submission of poster abstracts
------------------------------
It is also possible to directly submit a 3-page abstract for a flash
presentation and a poster session. The abstract should be prepared
with LaTeX (11 point Computer Modern, default formatting). Email to
computational.semantics at kub.nl the resulting postscript file by 1
November 2002.
Further guidelines
------------------
Since we will use the LaTeX source code of accepted papers and poster
abstracts for producing the proceedings, please follow the further
guidelines for submission at the IWCS-5 website:
